she three jobs, just to make sure she could pay her rent. she is in her second year, at leeds back at university. she got an e—mail from the university asking why she was not attending lectures as frequently as she should be. she has since cut back on her at work. even before christmas, again, another instalment of rent was due in the new year, and she was working up to 45 hours per week to make ends meet. —— leeds beckett. other students are going onto campus simply to stay warm. i spoke to a student at leeds university and he said he goes onto campus, not only to charges equipment, to make sure he is not using electricity at home, butjust to stay warm. his house is too cold to stay warm. his house is too cold to study in it. it goes onto campus every day to make sure that he sees one. —— he goes. —— warm. every day to make sure that he sees one. -- he goes. -- warm. obviously, there are _ one. -- he goes. -- warm. obviously, there are some _ one. -- he goes. -- warm. obviously, there are some similarities _ one. -- he goes. -- warm. obviously, there are some similarities in - one. -- he goes. -- warm. obviously, there are some similarities in the - there are some similarities in the stories they have told you, but is there a one unifying concern that
11:46 am
they have chris sutton trust is the biggest worry for these students? the biggest for them is what comes next. we are all living through a cost of living crisis at the moment, but next year is when students really think they're going to be struggling. prices have risen throughout the year, but maintenance loans are not keeping pace with that. student support comes in to make main components, you have the tuition fees, they have been frozen at £9,250 for the next two years. the maintenance loan is meant to cover things like rent, food and bills. that is going up by a 2.8%, from september. but at the time of the announcement, inflation was at 10.7%. the main concern for students that i have spoken to is what comes next. from september, are they going to be able to afford their rents, which is going up by a far more than the 2.8% rise in maintenance loans. thank you so much forjoining us
11:47 am
from leedsjust to thank you so much forjoining us from leeds just to outline some of the concerns that students here in england have at the moment with the cost of living crisis. migrants who cross the english channel on small boats to enter the uk will be removed from the country, banned from future re—entry and will be unable to apply for british citizenship, under new legislation. in the coming days, the government will lay out its plans to fulfil one of the prime minister's pledges to crack down on people who enter the uk illegally. ali is an asylum seeker who made the crossing himself — he spoke to the bbc earlier about his experience and the impact this bill would have on people like him. lots of them, they do not know where they are. theyjust — normally, smugglers kept them in a dark place or forest for a while and say, ok, let's go. most asylum seekers do not know where they are exactly, and others, actually, they try to arrive to england because i think about 30% of them are from safe countries.
11:48 am
i have no idea about them. but asylum seekers especially from the middle east, they have no idea of theirfinal destination and they don't choose that one, it is something chosen by the smugglers, not the asylum seekers. the perspective there of ali. i'm joined now by dr peter william walsh, a senior researcher at the migration observatory at the university of oxford — they provide independent, evidence—based analysis of data on migration and migrants in the united kingdom. good to have you with us. i'm sure you just heard the perspective of ali there, when he was asked what he thought, but many people have been criticising this proposed legislation today, saying there is not that much that is new in it. what do you make of the proposals? that is certainly true. the government has had a policy in place for two years now, that said that if you entered the uk from a country that the government deems to be safe, that would include france,
11:49 am
then we will not hear your asylum claim and we will try to remove you. 20,000 people have been considered to be barred from applying for asylum, but the big challenges, only 20 have actually been removed to safe eu countries. the big challenge is where is the uk going to send tens of thousands of individuals? the rwanda policy is not there, we will need bilateral agreements with eu countries over the eu as a whole, and there is precious little evidence that we have developed agreements that would be necessary. peter, do you know what options the government is considering right now, when it comes to third countries? i don't. it will be absolutely essential to have an agreement with france. �* ., , , ., france. i'm really sorry to interrupt _ france. i'm really sorry to interrupt you _ france. i'm really sorry to interrupt you right - france. i'm really sorry to interrupt you right now, l france. i'm really sorry to l interrupt you right now, we
11:50 am
france. i'm really sorry to - interrupt you right now, we have to ta ke take our viewers to the old bailey, wherejudge mrsjustice mae is delivering her sentencing remarks. this is in the case of wayne couzens. the former met police officer is being sentence for indecent exposure. one of the offences he committed just days before he killed a young woman. charged with four counts of exposure, arising from visits... the exposure, arising from visits. .. the reason i think— exposure, arising from visits... the reason i think that has been interrupted is possibly for legal reasons, things we are not allowed to show, but we cannot return to it now. this may happen again, please bear with us. fix, now. this may happen again, please bear with ve— bear with us. a trial date of the 6th of march, _ bear with us. a trial date of the 6th of march, 2023 _ bear with us. a trial date of the 6th of march, 2023 was - bear with us. a trial date of the - 6th of march, 2023 was subsequently identified. in the meantime, on the 2nd of september, 22, he was charged on eight separate indictments with
11:51 am
two further counts of exposure, arising from earlier incidents, in june 2015, and november, 2020. the crown applied tojoin june 2015, and november, 2020. the crown applied to join at post indictments so that all offences could be heard together, at a single trial. on the 2nd of october, 2022, i heard a defence implication to stay all counts on both indictments for abuse, on the principal basis that the defendants notoriety that might�*s notoriety would prevent him having a fair trial. i dismissed that application, after which the defence issued a further application, this time to dismiss the two counts on the second indictment, for want of reliable evidence, alternatively to sever those counts —— for several of those counts to be had at a separate trial. this application is listed for hearing on the 13th of february 2023, however, on that day, the defendant changed his plea from not
11:52 am
guilty to guilty. that was on at two of the counts on the first indictments, at the same time, entering a guilty plea to one of the counts on the second indictment, with a not guilty plea for the other. the prosecution accepted the guilty pleas to three of the six exposure offences, inviting the court to order that the remaining three counts lie on the file, not to be proceeded with without further order. the consequences that today, which would have been at the first day of trial, is instead a sentencing hearing. under section 57 of the sentencing act 2020, a court, when passing sentence, must have regard to five purposes of sentencing, identified as, punishment of the offender, reduction of crime, reform and rehabilitation of the offender, protection of the public and eight making of reparation. none of these purposesis making of reparation. none of these purposes is directly relevant to sentencing at this defendant for the
11:53 am
present offences, as he is currently serving a whole life at sentence for the kidnap, rape and murder of sarah everard in march 2021. the sentence i pass today will not affect that whole life term. given the sexual nature of the present offences, notification is automatic. that too is academic. a surcharge order will apply in the ordering way. sentencing also serves as a public recognition for the fact that offences have been committed to note the impact upon the victim or victims and where appropriate, to mark with gratitude, their courage and resilience in reporting the offences, giving statements about what happened to them, and being prepared to follow through by giving evidence at any trial. without that persistence and fortitude by members of the public you have been offended against, justice could not happen. as a victim of a sexual offence,

each of the women are entitled to anonymity for their lifetimes. i shall refer to them as eight, b and c, each of them is to be commended for reporting and following through. -- a. for reporting and following through. —— a. the first of the offences in a time involved a, he was cycling up a narrow country lane between deal and dover on the 30th of november 2020 at around 230 in the afternoon. —— to 30 pm. photographs show that it has a bank third with some woodland at the top. as a cycled up, a man stepped out from the trees. he was naked, energetically mask debating from his erect venus looking directly into a's eyes as he did so. from the photographs, he must have been at less than two metres away from her as he passed. she could do nothing but a cycle on, pedalling slowly up the hill past him, as he continued to stand there,
11:55 am
manipulating his venus. later on, a came across a police officer, and she told the police officer will happen. the husband reported him to the police. he was then reported to kent police online, given what she remembers of the numberplate of the black car, insufficient, as it turned out, to any tracing. no one got back to her. but when, in march 2021, a's husband drew her attention to the reporting of sarah everard's merger, a recognise the person who had exposed himself to her, and immediately contacted the police. in the meantime, on two separate occasions, one fortnight a part in every 2021, b and c, to make a female... —— two mac females...

11:57 am
b and c, read in courtjust now, speakjustly of their b and c, read in courtjust now, speak justly of their shock and upset at this defendant's selfish sexually aggressive acts. all have spoken of their sense of freedom and security taken from them, of feeling vulnerable and fearful for themselves and others going about their ordinary lives. one woman, after discovering who had done this, and what he had gone on to do, speaks of a wholly understandable sense of the survivors' guilt. the fact that no police came to find him or his blackheart, to question him about these incidents, can only have served to confirm and strengthen, in the defendant's mind, a dangerous belief in his invincibility, in his power, sexually, to dominate and abused women without being stopped. in arriving at the sentence, i have had regard to the sentencing council
11:58 am
guidelines for the offence of exposure, the guideline on a totality and the guideline on reduction in sentence, reducing plea. the statutory maximum sentence for the offensive exposure —— spent offence of exposure is two years. the offence against a involving mask debating, fulton to category two, of the guidelines. with a view to totality, i shall treat this as the lead offence, aggravated by... passing concurrent sentences for each of them. the offence against a is further aggravated by the location, in an isolated country lane. the mcdonald's offences are made more serious, and the timing, late at night, in the dark. all offences are very seriously aggravated by the fact that the defendant was a serving police officer at the time. being a constable in the metropolitan police, and a member of the
11:59 am
diplomatic protection group. —— mask debating. on the day he exposed himself to a, the defendant was actually on duty, working from home. the combination of these features it takes all the offences well outside the otherwise applicable category range and the guideline, the only mitigation with the guilty plea is entered on the 13th of february, take into account that this was the first time the defendant was arraigned on the second indictment, however, it was by no means the earliest occasion on which he would have indicated a guilty plea. the defendant is attending via a link from his prison. he is to say —— to stay seated where he is. for the offence against a, count to on indictment number t 2022, 0638, the sentence is one of 19 months in imprisonment. this back in prison. there will be concurrent sentences on six and he shall count two and three on indictment t 2022, 03 to
12:00 pm
total sentence is accordingly one of 19 months. as i have already said... to the existing whole of life sentence, from which the defendant will never be released. studio: welcome to the viewers who are watching around the world. what you're seeing her live pictures of the old bailey, here in london, wherejudge mrsjustice the old bailey, here in london, where judge mrsjustice may is delivering her sentencing remarks in the case of wayne couzens. he is being sentenced for indecent exposure, one of the offences committed just days before he killed sarah everard. he is not in court, he has appeared in five —— video link from the prison where he is serving a whole life sentence for murdering sarah everard. that was in march 2021. she was only 33 years old. the reason this case is so significant is that the case of sarah everard sparked a national outcry, calls for more action to tackle violence against women, as
12:01 pm
well. it did real damage to society's confidence in the police. there was a huge amount of reaction and response to this case, sarah everard case, which is one of the reasons why this sentencing has been so closely followed. that was live pictures we were just seeing from the old bailey. ii if this is bbc news — welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. i'm lucy hockings. our top stories: one month after the devastating earthquakes that killed more than 50,000 people in turkey and syria — many are still living without proper shelter. you can't deal with devastation on a scale like this in days or even weeks. the impact of this will be felt by people here in southern turkey for years. a suicide attack in southwest pakistan has killed at least nine police officers. the explosion struck a police truck in balochistan province. migrants crossing the english channel in small boats would be banned from ever returning to the uk under new government plans,
12:02 pm
but refugee charities say the proposals are unfair and unworkable. bangladesh authorities are investigating the cause of a massive fire in the world's largest refugee camp which has left 12,000 people without shelter. and the stars behind the irish comedy the banshees of inisherin speak to usahead of the oscars on sunday. to feel it as colloquial and then see it go out into the world and be received by people from all sorts of, you know, the corners of the globe that we share is pretty surprising and cool. hello and welcome to bbc news.
12:03 pm
former police officer wayne couzens has been sentenced to 19 months in prison in prison today after admitting to three counts of indecent exposure, one of which he committed four days before killing sarah everard. it it was a hugely significant case for people in england partly because he was serving police officer and there were protests on street throughout the uk and it did a huge
12:04 pm
amount of damage in throughout the uk and it did a huge amount of damage— throughout the uk and it did a huge amount of damage in how women in articular amount of damage in how women in particular saw— amount of damage in how women in particular saw the _ amount of damage in how women in particular saw the police _ amount of damage in how women in particular saw the police and - particular saw the police and confidence in the police as well. wayne couzens is 50, he did not appear in court, he appeared via video link from prison and we will take you to the old bailey shortly. we have a life page up and running for you right now taking you through what has happened in court today and the background to the case. exactly a month after the devastating earthquakes which killed more than 50,000 people across turkey and syria, an unprecedented number of people are living without proper shelter. the united nations development programme — the undp — estimates that in turkey alone at least one and a half million people still inside the disaster zone are homeless. the true figure could be even higher. our correspondent anna foster has
12:05 pm
the latest from antakya. you can see a flavour of how difficult things are, buildings like this one under construction, one right next to it filled with cracks and people are trying to make homes amongst all of this. people living in tents, people who want to try and stay close to the places they know because that is where they feel safe but in many cases they have lost absolutely everything. in places like this, trying to get food, water, power is very difficult, you can see the wind swirling around and that catches great clouds of dust and tiny particles of rubble and glass, making it difficult for people to breathe and children playing. one month on, things are still hard and these are some of the challenges people are going through when they are trying to find shelter.
12:06 pm
these trains haven't left the station for a month. they're homes instead now to earthquake survivors. yilmaz and five of his family live in this carriage. they sleep on the seats, the few possessions they have around them. translation: they wanted to provide tents to us, but i refused. _ tents are cold and this place has a notoriously strong wind. when it blows, all the tents will end up on the sea. afad, the turkish disaster management agency, says around two million people have left the quake zone altogether. 1.5 million more are still here and struggling. there's anger, too, that so many buildings were allowed to have design features that struggle to withstand an earthquake. more than 160,000 either collapsed or were badly damaged. and it wasn'tjust the old ones. this is a well—to—do area.
12:07 pm
it's close to the park and there are lots of modern buildings. all of them should have stayed up. but look, this one is so new that you can still see the stickers in the glass on the top floor. nobody had even moved in there yet, and yet it has still toppled to the ground. the scale of the task ahead is enormous. there isn't enough mechanical equipment in the country to clear the rubble quickly. so places like iskenderun's collapsed hospital wing stay as they are. personal medical notes litter the ruins. there are smashed pieces of equipment and medicines lying on the floor. it's a moment frozen in time. people across southern turkey simply don't know how long they'll be living like this for. some, like muzeyyen, want to stay as close to home as they can. she's sleeping in a tent right outside her damaged house.
12:08 pm
translation: my valuable articles are in there. - thieves are roaming around. the police are barely keeping them away. lots of thieves. how can i leave here? sprawling tented camps are the new towns. big promises have been made for a programme of permanent rebuilding. but it won't happen quickly. you can't deal with devastation on a scale like this in days or even in weeks. the impact of this is going to be felt by people here in southern turkey for years. and here you get a sense of how long things will take. this is the construction of some slightly more permanent structures that you see, these will be showers and toilets but look how close they are still to the devastation and as we said, clearing all of this, physically having enough diggers and trucks and lorries to take all this rubble away will take an enormously long time so even as plans start to be made for a future which people will be living out of their homes
12:09 pm
for an extremely long time they are still stuck with memories like this. it is so hard for them to get away from everything they have endured and see some signs of some sort of safe and positive future. inpakistan a suicide bomber has killed at least nine policemen. the explosion struck a police truck in the southwestern city of sibbi in balochistan province. hospital medics say at least 15 others have been injured in the blast. there's been a series of recent attacks across pakistan targeting police officers. it's not clear who's behind the latest incident. our pakistan correspondent caroline davies has been following the story and sent
12:10 pm
us this update. we do know a few details according to officials about what happened. firstly, these police officers were leaving, they had been hoping to police the sibi festival, which is a cultural festival that happens every year in balochistan. they were travelling back to quetta, when, according to the officials, a motorbike rammed into their vehicle. now, we have seen images of the police truck flipped entirely on its roof, with smashed windows, bags strewn around the ground around it, and also some stained blood, as well, on the floor. we know that the security forces cordoned off the area, that those who were injured were taken to sibi hospital, and the government have said they even sent a helicopter to try to help, to help those people who were needing emergency care, as well. now, in terms of exactly who is behind it, no—one as yet has claimed this incident. the police to say that they believe that it's a terrorist attack, although further details are not clear at this stage. now, who could be potentially behind this? there are some suggestions
12:11 pm
perhaps it could be some balochistan separatist group, we know they have been continuing to launch attacks because they want their province of balochistan in pakistan to be independent. potentially, the other alternative that some people are suggesting is the ttp, the pakistani taliban, who of course have increased the number of attacks, particularly on security forces, on the police forces, as well, and so at this stage no clarity if it is either of those groups, or potentially another group entirely. police searching for three women and two men who were reported missing after a night out in cardiff have found three of them dead and two with serious injuries. the five friends were last seen in cardiff in the early hours of saturday night. gwent police say the car was recovered in the early hours of this morning. the three dead have not yet been identified. earlier, i spoke to our wales correspondent, hywel griffith, in cardiff. he gave me the latest
12:12 pm
devwlopments in the case. you might be able to see over my shoulder a very busy crime scene and several police vehicles and maybe see the fire engines. we understand they are in the process of recovering both the vehicle involved in this in which the five people were travelling and the bodies of the three people who are deceased. we know that these five were last seen in the early hours of saturday morning around two o'clock in a different part of cardiff and it is believed they travelled a bit around south wales but it was almost 48 hours before the vehicle was discovered in that wooded area. we are on a normally busy stretch of dual carriageway on the outskirts of cardiff with people coming from here to newport. in the early hours of the morning not so many cars but at the moment one of the key questions
12:13 pm
will be how this car could have potentially been hidden down there for over 2a hours. the police investigation still very active and in the process of recovering some of the bodies. there must be a huge sense of shock amongst the community. do we know any details about the five friends? we know the identities, sophie russon is one of two who survived. the others are eve smith, darcy ross, rafeljeanne and shane loughlin. they are a group of friends and the three ladies started their evening off in newport and travelled to porthcawl. and already some people have arrived at the scene bringing flowers and didn't want to speak tojournalists, it is a incredibly sensitive time and there are questions how the search could have lasted so long and had they been found earlier, could some of those people have survived?
12:14 pm
you're watching bbc news. the prime minister of greece, kyriakos mitsotakis, has asked for forgiveness from the families of 57 people who died in a rail crash on tuesday. he said it should not have been possible for two trains heading in different directions to run on the same line without anyone noticing. thousands of protestors, including striking rail workers, have again clashed with police. they blame the collision on government neglect. sofia bettiza reports. there's an outcry in greece. for the third day in a row, people have been protesting all over the country. this is a sign that anger is pulsing across greece and the systemic failings
12:15 pm
of that allowed this disaster to happen. on 28 february, a passenger train and freight train that were travelling in opposite directions ended up on the same track. 57 people were killed, mainly students. on sunday, hundreds of balloons were released in the sky above syntagma square in athens to honour their memory. later that day a stationmaster appeared in court. he was charged with manslaughter by negligence. his lawyer said he's admitted to having a share of responsibility in the accident. and the prime minister, kyriakos mitsotakis, apologised to the bereaved families on facebook.
12:16 pm
..he wrote. he promised a fast investigation. but many feel that's too little, too late. translation: despite | the continuous warnings of the railway workers, those responsible were indifferent to our requests over the safety systems and that is what led to this traffic accident. translation: the government needs to change the way - they think. they need to start caring about our lives. this must never happen again. we shouldn't be afraid to take our children in the metro and in trains. this is rapidly becoming a defining issue in the next greek general election, which could be just weeks away. sofia bettiza, bbc news. it's been exactly a month since devastating earthquakes struck turkey and syria — killing more than 50,000
12:17 pm
people. the challenges on the ground remain immense — with many people still without shelter. joe english from unicef is assisting with relief efforts inside syria. he gave us his assessment of the situation on the ground. i am in north—west syria, the city is a lot lower profile not so many high constructions. many people before the earthquake were living in tents and displaced from elsewhere in the country from 12 years of conflict and even before the earthquake struck we were talking about the highest humanitarian crisis in syria
12:18 pm
since the war began. children need drinking water and that is exactly the kind of thing, if disease takes hold it will be a disaster on top of the profound and continued disaster children are already facing. are you saying the concern is so deep there might now be a worry about malnutrition for children and some of these camps? honestly, the situation here, you wonder how people will ever be able to move back into their homes. unicef are here and the united nations are here. we are trying to reach families but we need continued access and it can'tjust be funding for days orfor weeks, we need funding for the years ahead. how do you even begin to deal with the mental health of some of these children, the psychological well—being and the trauma they have been through?
12:19 pm
it is critical. we know how to do this, we work around the world in war and conflict and natural disasters and giving children somewhere they can just be a child again and be with their friends, before they can even begin the process and what they have been through and their experiences. many of them have been through really extreme situations and will need professional medical and full—time support to be able to rebuild their lives. has unicef and any of the other aid agencies managed to set up temporarily learning centres or schools?
12:20 pm
and set up learning spaces. i was in hatay, turkey yesterday and there were children preparing for exams. normal life tries to go on and we are doing everything we can to make sure that when children are displaced, living in these desperate situations at least we give them a semblance of normalcy and hope for the future. how do you work with the government in syria? we work with all partners we have to do in terms of reaching children in need. doing cross—border work and exploring any and all opportunities to reach children whatever they are. at unicef our mandate is clear, we are for every single child no matter where they are or what their need is and we were in north—west syria and turkey before the earthquake and we are here now and
12:21 pm
will be here in the future to help them. it has been remarkable seeing you move around and show some of the background. if you could do that for us again because it really gives us a sense of the scale of damage there. and you do also briefly touch on what is happening with water. that is always such a clear concern. is there safe drinking water where you are at the moment? there is. we are currently tracking water in which is not our long—term solution. —— bringing water in with trucks. especially for children's vulnerability to these kind of diseases and we could see children at risk again. it is vital to remember that this earthquake was just the latest catastrophe and children and families have been through 12 years of crisis. let's get some of the day's other news.
12:22 pm
initial results from estonia's general election suggest victory for the prime minister kaja kallis and her reform party. with most of the ballots counted, it's secured about a third of the votes. the election was dominated by estonia's stance on the war in ukraine. the british government has said it will continue to support students accepted by the european union's key scientific research programme, horizon, after their situation had been left in doubt following brexit. the uk will continue its financial support tilljune, bridging the funding gap left by the eu. pakistan's former prime minister, imran khan, has been barred from making speeches on the country's national television. pakistan's media regulator accused him of repeating baseless allegations against state institutions and spreading hate speech. mr khan says the allegations are politically motivated. hogo chavez has been rememebered by venezuelans 10 years after his death. there were rallies throughout the country while top government figures attended the main event in the capital caracas, as did international allies, including a high—level delegation from cuba. it's already won four baftas and it's been nominated for no
12:23 pm
less than nine oscars. the banshees of inishiren is the irish movie taking the awards season by storm. sophie long has been talking with some of the stars behind the dark comedy. now, if i've done something to you, just tell me what i've done to you. you didn't do anything to me. ijust don't like you no more. you liked me yesterday. the banshees of inisherin focuses on an intensely local conflict between two men when one unilaterally declares an end to theirfriendship. but it's resonated around the world. globally, universally, we all do go through much of the same things. so to feel it as colloquial and then see it go out into the world and be received by people from all sorts of, you know, the corners of the globe that we share has been pretty surprising and cool. what's the best bit about being nominated for an oscar for you? just that they can't take it away. it is. it's like, you know, yeah, you're part of the history of the cinematic world in a way that i wanted to contribute to it. yeah.
12:24 pm
mad. did not see it coming. reserve the right to continue to say i did not see it coming and mean it. you know, it's one of the most shocking surprises i've had in 25 the picturesque and profane intermingle as the complexities of life and friendship are explored through brutal, dark comedy, earning the banshees of inisherin no less than nine oscar nominations. have you been rowing? we haven't been rowing. i don't think we've been rowing. have we been?
12:25 pm
have we been rowing? why wouldn't he answer the door to me? maybe he just doesn't like you no more. ijust start giggling because it just seems like really surreal and something i've wanted my whole life. yeah. so it's a dream come true. our gang are friends, being here with a film that we care about and like, and it isn't really oscar bait. it's kind of unusual and darker than some of those can be. to be proud of something and have this kind of glamorous, strange, almost silly thing as part of it, i like it — how do. how do, padraic. sit somewhere else. huh? er...but i have my pint there, colm. he has his pint there, colm, - from when he came in and ordered his pint before. well, ok, i'll sit somewhere else.
12:26 pm
to be here isjust an absolute joy. and look, we're doing it a while, this fella and me, and so... you can't legislate for what they're feeling. i didn't think i was looking forward to it, but i was. i thought i might, but i didn't. like, that's just a human thing. er, but it's not... it was a significant thing. just enjoy it.. yeah. it's there. it's done. what are you going to wear? oh, that's the question! what are you going to wear, big man? i know what i'm going to wear. i know what he's going to wear as well. watch out. watch this space. oh, yeah. tasty. i'm going to large. tasty. can't be waiting around for any more of this madness! - hello again. this picture behind me was taken last night in shetland, where we saw quite a bit of snow.
12:27 pm
now there's snow in the forecast as we go through this week, potentially as far south as southern england later in the week. but today and tomorrow, the snow and ice risk is in north and east scotland and northeast england. and there's a risk of some travel disruption. we could have up to 20 centimetres in higher ground across the highlands, 5 to 10 centimetres across northeast england. but we will see some of this snow getting down to lower levels as well. today, we've got a weather front which is sinking southwards, taking its cloud, patchy light rain and drizzle with it. behind it, the cold air starts to dig in and we continue with frequent wintry showers across the north of scotland, interspersed with some sunny spells. temperatures today, only one in lerwick, but we're still in the milder air further south under all that cloud. now through this evening and overnight, a weatherfront continues to sink southwards. the cold air continues to dig in behind it and the wintry showers will fall in areas exposed to the northerly wind. we could see some inland as well. temperatures may well fall to minus eight in some sheltered glens. so a widespread frost and the risk of ice to start the day. our weather front pulling away, bit of dry weather tomorrow, fair bit of sunshine, but still areas exposed to the northerly wind will see some wintriness and it's going to feel
12:28 pm
cold when you add on the strength of the wind, despite what your temperature on your thermometer might say. feel more like minus five in aberdeen. if anything, tuesday night's going to be even colder, minus ten in some sheltered glens, once again with a widespread frost and the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. then we run into a complication in the forecast. this atlantic air is trying to come in across the uk, but the arctic air is also embedded across our shores. so the positioning of these weather fronts is crucial, as is the area of low pressure coming in, where it lies, as to where we get the snow. at the moment, this is what we think. it will come in across southern areas of england for a time, and then it will revert back to cloud and rain, but later we'll see more rain and some snow coming in across the southwest. push further north, it's drier and there'll also be some sunshine. but even as we head towards the end of the week, later in the week, there still is the risk of some disruptive snowfall edging north, although it will turn that bit milder in the south.

12:33 pm
killed and 50,000 were made homeless at the time. another big fire incident happened, and some are saying that they are actually looking into the matter, whether there is any rivalry amongst the rohingya groups. at the same time, they are also said focusing on the original cost —— causes of the fire. we have just been seeing pictures of the fire. incredibly dramatic. widespread as well through the camp as well. have they assessed the extent of the damage and the devastation, just how many people are without shelter? the authorities are without shelter? the authorities are sa in: are without shelter? the authorities are saying the _ are without shelter? the authorities are saying the number _ are without shelter? the authorities are saying the number is _ are without shelter? the authorities are saying the number is more - are without shelter? the authorities are saying the number is more than | are without shelter? the authorities. are saying the number is more than a 12,000 because of more than 2000 houses were destroyed, completely, and these houses are basically bamboo, plastic and otherflammable materials. they are small houses, and these rohingya camps located in the south—eastern part of bangladesh, just near the myanmar border, is believed to be the worst
12:34 pm
and the most cramped refugee camp in the world because more than 1 million people are living in a very simple, small area. authorities are saying they are trying to have the rohingya people so that they can get back to their shelters come as early as possible. some international communities are saying that they will help the rohingya people so they could come back to their homes from as early as possible. 150 international organisations, local ngos, international organisations, local ngos, other organisations working in that area said that their main focus now is to build houses for the rohingya people so that they can come back and restore their lives as quickly as possible. has come back and restore their lives as quickly as possible.— quickly as possible. has the fire also affected — quickly as possible. has the fire also affected some _ quickly as possible. has the fire also affected some of _ quickly as possible. has the fire also affected some of those - quickly as possible. has the fire | also affected some of those very basic services that are needed? what about the water centres and some of the sanitation plants at there? have they been destroyed as well? i think

we have lost the line to him, our correspondent in dhaka. you canjust see the damage caused by this market —— massive fire, based in cox's bazaar. we were just talking about how many refugees that had escaped the violence from myanmar, that were living here, and some of the damage that had been done, and also what is needed to be done to repair that work. it's been exactly a month since devastating earthquakes struck turkey and syria — killing more than 50,000 people. the challenges on the ground remain immense, with many people still without shelter. the united nations development programme — the undp — estimates that in turkey alone at least one and a half million people still inside the disaster

12:39 pm
to crack down on people who enter the uk illegally. our editor simonjones is our editor simon jones is in our editor simonjones is in dover. just tell us some of the proposed changes. is there anything new in? the government said over the weekend, make no mistake, anybody arriving in the uk illegally will not be allowed to stay in the country, so the new mantra from the british government seems to be, detain, deny and deport. when people arrive, crossing the channel here, on a small boat, over from northern france, the plan is that they will be detained in immigration centres, denied the right to claim asylum in the uk, and then it deported, sent thousands of miles from here, potentially to rwanda, in east africa, or to another safe country. this is going further than legislation that the british government introduced last year with their nationality and borders bill. that also created a new offence of
12:40 pm
knowing a prying link —— knowingly arriving in the uk without permission, but what is planned, and we will get details of it in parliament tomorrow, is this idea that if you arrive by small boat, you will not be able to claim asylum here, and also, we are told, people will be banned from ever returning to the uk. some quite dramatic proposals here, and they will face huge challenges as well. aha, proposals here, and they will face huge challenges as well.- huge challenges as well. a huge amount of— huge challenges as well. a huge amount of criticism _ huge challenges as well. a huge amount of criticism is _ huge challenges as well. a huge amount of criticism is welcome l huge challenges as well. a huge l amount of criticism is welcome of the proposals already, even though we are still getting the details tomorrow, in full. take us through some of the concerns and criticisms that people are expressing today? part of the concern is how this will work in reality because last year, around 115,000 people across the channel to the uk in small boats. if you say you're going to detain all of those people, where are you going to put them because? you will have to put them because? you will have to build new immigration detention centres, but it is all very well talking about sending people to rwanda, for example, but that deal remains on hold because it is facing
12:41 pm
legal challenges in the courts. also, the idea of removing people to other safe countries, that they pass through to reach the uk, there is currently no deal in the place to do that between the uk and the eu. besides potentially those problems in practice, there is also criticism about how this is going to happen in terms of effects on people. it has been described by charities is vindictive and inhumane, it has been called unworkable, and there are questions about whether it will be compatible with the convention on human rights. some huge questions for the british government, but they are insisting that they need to do something. people here in the uk have had enough of promises but have not been delivered. the home secretary, suella braverman, the british interior minister, is a saying that she will sort this out once and for all. i think that is a bold challenge.— once and for all. i think that is a bold challenge. simon, thank you very much- _ bold challenge. simon, thank you very much. that _ bold challenge. simon, thank you very much. that was _

12:43 pm
from the university of sheffield shows online abuse targeted at me has tripled since the takeover of elon musk. another research from the institute shows over a 60% increase in the number of new accounts created then immediately follow misogynistic and abusive channels. i set out to find the answers, headed to san francisco in the us, and then here in the uk, to speak to the people who work there and the tangible features that were designed to improve user experience. 50 tangible features that were designed to improve user experience.- to improve user experience. so what is happening — to improve user experience. so what is happening at _ to improve user experience. so what is happening at twitter _ to improve user experience. so what is happening at twitter right - to improve user experience. so what is happening at twitter right now? i is happening at twitter right now? the changes that have taken place since the takeover?— the changes that have taken place since the takeover? there has been hue since the takeover? there has been huge lay-offs. _ since the takeover? there has been huge lay-offs. lots _ since the takeover? there has been huge lay-offs, lots of _ since the takeover? there has been huge lay-offs, lots of sackings, - since the takeover? there has been huge lay-offs, lots of sackings, it i huge lay—offs, lots of sackings, it used to have 7000, or more, employees. now there are about half that many people. people that no longer work there and that have less, they tell me that they are very worried about the loss of —— the loss of input expertise, if that impact, of child sexual expectation,
12:44 pm
for example, the message that came through clearly was many of these features, policies, it is not like they have been withdrawn, some of they have been withdrawn, some of the features that were designed to protect people from online abuse, something like the hard—fought nudge reply which would send people a message asking if they were sure to post something when it was detected as being abusive. it would encourage them to reconsider. that feature for example, still exists, but we tested it out and it is not applied consistently. i spoke to the leader of that team, that team has completely gone. the leader also decided to leave. when i spoke to a senior engineer on the inside at twitter, he told me it is like a building where all the pieces are on fire, and therejust building where all the pieces are on fire, and there just isn't anybody to look after the features any more. so how serious and how dangerous could this all become if it is not interest —— addressed? the could this all become if it is not interest -- addressed? the users, the people — interest -- addressed? the users, the people that — interest -- addressed? the users, the people that are _ interest -- addressed? the users, the people that are at _ interest -- addressed? the users, the people that are at the - interest -- addressed? the users, the people that are at the heart i interest -- addressed? the users, the people that are at the heart of| the people that are at the heart of this story, and there are some really shocking cases i've heard of through this investigation, one
12:45 pm
involves a young woman in glasgow, a rape survivor, she has been targeted by active accounts that have been a more active since the takeover. they were previously suspended accounts, investigated them, and that follows elon musk�*s own amnesty, he decided to bring back accounts that had been suspended. this has real—world implications all the harm that we spoken about. we got in touch with twitter, and elon musk, he uses these polls, these are surveys, he uses them to try to test new features for twitter. 89% of people voted said that they wanted to do —— they wanted him to do an interview with me. he has not responded. andrew based in the panorama response, elon musk has since responded to that, and he says, sorry for turning it into that nurturing place that now features

12:48 pm
of shooting dead a nine—year—old girl inside her own home in liverpool is due to begin today. olivia pratt—korbel was killed in august last year, when a gunman allegedly opened fire while chasing another man who had forced his way into the house. 34—year—old thomas cashman denies murder. not all pupil have been able to make it to school due to illness. so, some schools are bringing the classroom to them by using robots which can act like teachers or classmates. david lumb's been to see one in action. so alex, which of the following will always improve the net profit margin of a business? it is it reducing expenses? business studies from home. this robot allows alex to attend lessons remotely when attending in person is not practical. i've been able to go to all my science lessons, all my maths lessons, all my rs lessons and not have to worry about being held back and everything like that. so when i eventually can go back,
12:49 pm
when myjoints are better, i can just go straight from where i left off on the robot and just go from there and learn. alex developed juvenile idiopathic arthritis when he was three and it means the 15—year—old from rugby has joint pain, swelling and cannot walk as much as other children. i can't get out of bed some mornings at all, i need help off my mum. and even making breakfast and getting a drink like everyone else would be able to do can be a struggle for me. the robot is one of three owned by his school. since covid we've really utilised them to help implement inclusion of students that have medical needs, so if they are struggling to be in school due to shielding. pupils in the building will carry them around for students at home. they put a tie around them, name them, take them to lessons, they are part of the class now, part of the furniture. if you have a question, there is a hand icon, you press it and the robot's head
12:50 pm
will go blue and the teacher then knows you've got a question. it is not the only company to develop remote—learning robots. here's one at a school in oxfordshire from a few years ago. this one has notjust helped alex keep up—to—date with school work. i get to interact with everyone, notjust in a kind of a school way, it's more of a mates way. hanging out and being able to just socialise and chat about our favourite things like animes, doctor who and things like that. it is amazing. we can take you back to helena who has had a glass of water. she is at the old bailey for us. you were taking us through what happened in court today, in the sentencing of wayne couzens.— court today, in the sentencing of wa ne couzens. , ., , , . wayne couzens. yes, he was sentenced for three indecent _ wayne couzens. yes, he was sentenced for three indecent exposure _ for three indecent exposure offences, and the third one happens just days before he murdered sarah everard. in thejudge's just days before he murdered sarah everard. in the judge's sentencing remarks, we had a bit more about those indecent exposure incidents,
12:51 pm
one of them took place in woodland in it cant come in at 2020, where a cyclist was cycling along a rural path, and wayne couzens, fully naked, came out and expose himself to that woman. he also admitted last month to two further counts of exposure incidents, those were at a drive—through mcdonald's at swanley. we heard more about the impact on the victims of those three indecent exposure offences, about how one of the complainants said that she just simply could not do simple basic things like go out for a cycle, or go out for a walk. we also know that after that third incident, at the mcdonald's ad swanley, the registration number plate of the cart that wayne couzens was driving that was handed over to the police, there was no action taken, and the judge in her sentencing remarks in
12:52 pm
the last hour or so, said that the fact that no police came to find him, wayne couzens, or his black car, orto him, wayne couzens, or his black car, or to question him about these incidents, can only have served to confirm and strengthen in the defendant's mind, a dangerous belief in his invincibility, in his power, sexually, to dominate and abuse women without being stopped. of course, a sentence of 19 months will make no difference to wayne couzens himself, he is already serving a whole lifetime, which means he is not going to be eligible for parole at any stage. he is an frankland prison at the moment, but it is hugely significant, it is highlighted missed opportunities to catch him, and also hugely important for the victims of his offences. $5 for the victims of his offences. as children here are heading back to school, one group of friends in greater manchester has a new look. they have all shaved their heads. it is not a fashion statement, it is a gesture of support for their friend,
12:53 pm
oliver, who lost his hair when it being treated for a brain tumour. this is oliver's army arriving on stage for a school assembly with a difference. the difference being that a group of heads are about to be shaved by oliver and a team of local hairdressers. how are you feeling ahead of all this they're doing for you this morning? it's nice to know that my friends at school are supporting me. what's weird is before i had my hairfall out, my hair was longer than any of these. now that these guys are getting theirs shaved, i'm going to be the only one with hair! the boys themselves came up with the plan, including oliver's twin brother, george. i was, of course, devastated when i heard the news that he had cancer, and instantly ijust knew that i had to do something to help. and now we're here. what do you think of your brother doing this for you? i think he has just helped me through this so much. and so before an enthusiastic audience, it was haircut time. cheering
12:54 pm
zach, reuben, you've gone bold here, straight down the middle, how does that feel? it's crazy. yeah. i want to know what i look like. you look so weird, you do! it's gone. you look almost unrecognisable right now. i know. are you the same child that was here a few minutes ago? yeah, but i feel like i went a bit too far. it's been a devastating time for all of us, but events like this really do make a difference. they describe themselves as a wall of friends around oliver. theyjust want to protect him. they want to look after him. and they want to do everything they can to just help us get through this. is it really that bad? yes, it is! the children have just really thought about how it must feel
12:55 pm
for oliver at the moment. we've got such amazing examples of youngsters today and what they're able to achieve. no head shaving for you, but a lovely pink do. thank you very much. i got up very early to do this. after ten minutes or so, the cuts were complete. i honestlyjust don't know what to say. they've supported me through all of this and i think they were just brave to do it. so you all feeling good now, boys? yep, yep. bit cold on my head, but...! and how do you think they look now? like me. and that's good, isn't it? yeah! unless, of course, parents take the wrong children home after school! with that, it was time to reveal the latest oliver's army fundraising total, which is now past £17,000. ian haslam, bbc news. what an uplifting way to end that,
12:56 pm
with that will support around oliver. well done to them, quite a gesture from oliver's army. hello. this picture behind me was taken last night in shetland where we saw quite a bit of snow. snow in the forecast as we go through this week, potentially as far south as southern england. today and tomorrow, snow and ice risk is in north into scotland and north—east england and there is a risk of some travel disruption. we could have up to 20 centimetres in higher ground across the highlands, 5—10 centimetres across north—east england, but we will see some snow getting down to lower levels as well. today, a weather front sinking southwards, taking its cloud, patchy light rain and drizzle with it. behind it, because their digs in and we continue with frequent wintry showers across the north of scotland, interspersed with some sunny spells.
12:57 pm
temperatures today, one in lerwick, but milder airfurther south under the cloud. there are this evening and overnight, the weather from continues to sink southwards, call there continues to dig in behind it and the wintry showers will fall in areas exposed to the northerly wind. we could see some inland this well. temperatures may fall to —8 in some sheltered glens. widespread frost and the risk of ice to start the day, our weather front pulling away, dry weather tomorrow, for a bit of sunshine, areas exposed to the northerly wind will see wintry nights. it will feel cold when you are out on the strength of the wind, despite the temperature on the thermometer. it will feel more like —5 in aberdeen. tuesday night will be even colder, —10 in some sheltered clients, —— glens, once again with widespread frost and the risk of ice and retreated services. we run into a complication on the forecast. the atlantic air is trying to come in across the uk but the arctic air is also embedded across our shores,
12:58 pm
so the positioning of these weather fronts is crucial, as is the area of low pressure coming in when it lies, as to where we get the snow. at the moment, this is what we think, it will come in across southern areas of england for a time and then it will revert back to cloud and rain, but later we will see more rain and snow coming in across the south—west, push further north, it is drier and there will be some sunshine. as we head towards the end of the week, later in the week, there still is the risk of some disruptive snowfall edging north. although it will turn out in the south. —— malls are in the south.
