4:36 pm
downing street confirmed the prime minister is still looking into these complaints and so, i am not sure we're going to be expecting anything imminently. if you go to our live page, as always, we have the very latest fair, on bbc.co.uk/news. and we have a little bit of information from nick eardley, our political correspondent, who says that rishi sunak is, as had the report for several hours, he says the investigations on dominic raab took five months, which suggest it hasn't been straightforward and is proving a difficult call for the pm. number ten wouldn't say this afternoon in a briefing at downing street. all they would say is that the pm continues to consider the report and it is all the information we have had. but of course, that is all there on the live page, but do stay with us for more on bbc news as it happens. but for now, let's move on and talk about scientists who have been working with satellite data and they now say the acceleration in the melting of
4:37 pm
the acceleration in the melting of the earth's ice sheets is now unmistakable. the international group of experts say the planet was much principles lost 7000 560 billion tonnes in mass over the past 50 years. mass lost from greenland —— might be a mass loss from greenland and other polar areas is now a quarter of the ice sheets. let's now talk to a scientist who is part of this modelling. thank you forjoining us, how worrying it is this? . ., ., a this? thanks for having me. as you said, this? thanks for having me. as you said. doing — this? thanks for having me. as you said, doing satellite _ this? thanks for having me. as you said, doing satellite observations i said, doing satellite observations we found that the antarctic and arctic have lost a very huge amount of ice and to put this very large number into perspective, this is enough ice to fill cubes that would be 20 kilometres in height. this is really important because we found that there has been acceleration in ice loss and in the early 1990s, the ice loss and in the early 1990s, the ice sheets accounted for a very small fraction of the sea level
4:38 pm
rise. they now account for a quarter of the sea level rise totally. so this is really important because now we are able to track ice sheet mass loss from year to year and sometimes from months to months, as it gives us a very good insight into the state of and their health and it is very interesting, but also very worrying that we have seen that we have had seven highest melt years in the recent years, so this acceleration is a thing we need to worry about definitely. and acceleration is a thing we need to worry about definitely.— acceleration is a thing we need to worry about definitely. and what is the im act worry about definitely. and what is the impact of _ worry about definitely. and what is the impact of this _ worry about definitely. and what is the impact of this acceleration? i worry about definitely. and what is l the impact of this acceleration? the im act is the impact of this acceleration? tie: impact is that greenland the impact of this acceleration? ti9 impact is that greenland and antarctica are major contributors to sea—level rise, especially the acceleration in greenland mass ice loss has led to an acceleration in sea level rise. this has obvious impact because it will have consequences for coastal communities around the world. when antarctica and greenland lose mass, then they contribute to rising sea levels and
4:39 pm
at present there are around 40% of the world's population living in coastal areas, so these communities in future, if the ice continues to lose mass at this accelerated pace, we face a higher risk of coastal flooding, for instance, with more frequent storm surges. so flooding, for instance, with more frequent storm surges.— flooding, for instance, with more frequent storm surges. so what needs to be done to — frequent storm surges. so what needs to be done to avoid _ frequent storm surges. so what needs to be done to avoid even _ frequent storm surges. so what needs to be done to avoid even more - frequent storm surges. so what needs to be done to avoid even more of - to be done to avoid even more of this melting and the consequences that come with it?— this melting and the consequences that come with it? well, to prevent further ice losses, _ that come with it? well, to prevent further ice losses, we _ that come with it? well, to prevent further ice losses, we will- that come with it? well, to prevent further ice losses, we will need - that come with it? well, to prevent further ice losses, we will need to l further ice losses, we will need to limit the rise in ocean temperatures by limiting our greenhouse gas concentrations, releasing into the atmosphere, and to achieve that we need strong governmental policies to limit future warming because we know that if we exceed certain warming thresholds, some important and possibly irrepressible chemical feedback thresholds will be triggered which will lead to higher sea levels, so we need to limit this now that lead to scenarios that we call low probability, but high risk scenarios, which are quite worrying,
4:40 pm
especially in antarctica. we are currently on track for global warming of 2.7 degrees above preindustrial levels, so we need to keep that level of warming below, well, below this, ideally1.5, this is still achievable, so we need to act better to control the scenario where ice sheet melt becomes irreversible. where ice sheet melt becomes irreversible-— where ice sheet melt becomes irreversible. , , :, , :, irreversible. 0k, dr ines otosaka, thanks very _ irreversible. 0k, dr ines otosaka, thanks very much _ irreversible. 0k, dr ines otosaka, thanks very much indeed. - irreversible. 0k, dr ines otosaka, thanks very much indeed. the - irreversible. 0k, dr ines otosaka, i thanks very much indeed. the south korean pop k—pop star moonbin has died at the age of 25. police are investigating his cause of death, but say it appears he has taken his own life. this comes after a series of korean celebrities who have died youngin of korean celebrities who have died young in recent years. our bbc south korea reporter is in solar and tells us about his death.— korea reporter is in solar and tells us about his death. these k-pop fans and stars are — us about his death. these k-pop fans and stars are showing _ us about his death. these k-pop fans and stars are showing their— us about his death. these k-pop fans and stars are showing their grief- and stars are showing their grief over his death. many people are showing their sorrow in his social media. some co—stars —— some k—pop stars are even cancelling cancelling

4:44 pm
supplying huawei with more than 7 million hard drives. doing so violates us sanctions. since these actions were put in place in 2020, many millions were pounds worth of goods have been sold. these sections relate to security concerns. sajid javid calls for more transparent economic ties with china, despite apparent tensions between the two. samira hussain is standing by in new york. let's start with those comments from sajid javid because interesting timing, given what is going on, saying there must be stronger trade ties. but the two countries don't always see eye to eye, do they? countries don't always see eye to eye. do they?— countries don't always see eye to ee,dothe? :, , , eye, do they? know, they don't, but reall we eye, do they? know, they don't, but really we are — eye, do they? know, they don't, but really we are talking _ eye, do they? know, they don't, but really we are talking about _ eye, do they? know, they don't, but really we are talking about the - really we are talking about the world's two largest economies and so, there needs to be more communication between the two of them and that is certainly something that was highlighted when i was in washington last week during the imf and world bank meetings. so janet
4:45 pm
yellen in this speech made earlier today was definitely striking a much more conciliatory tone, saying that look, the sort of restrictions on trade that they have made really have to do with security and not in any way trying to damage the chinese economy, which is something that china had been saying for a long time, but a lot of these traders are really damaging to the economy. but the concern really is is just how do you manage that economic relationship, when of course there are still concerns about climate change and concerns about how human rights violations, which is also something that janet yellen raised in the speech. something that janet yellen raised in the speech-— in the speech. yes, and so interesting, _ in the speech. yes, and so interesting, the _ in the speech. yes, and so interesting, the timing, i in the speech. yes, and so i interesting, the timing, janet yellen saying there should be closer trade ties and yet the us authorities have slapped a big fine on a firm for trading with a chinese firm. :,: , on a firm for trading with a chinese firm. :, : , :, on a firm for trading with a chinese

4:47 pm
very much, ben. i want to bring you back to that top story today and thatis back to that top story today and that is that report into bullying allegations being considered by the deputy, concerning the deputy minister, dominic raab. the prime ministers received that a d hours ago and we have been waiting for him to come out with his reaction to the report. we haven't had that so far, but we have had an update from downing street and i would like to bring in nick eardley, a political correspondent, who can give us the very latest. what are we hearing? nothing today. we are not going to hear the prime minister verdict on that report, today, thursday. we are not sure why, we have had not had an expiration on that yet. as you have said, the prime minister has had that report. i was already, we were always told, we were told in the past hour he wanted to act swiftly. but whatever is going on, it not proving to be an easy decision for rishi sunak. we understand within the past few minutes that we are not
4:48 pm
going to get the prime minister's verdict on his deputy today. it is interesting because if you think about rishi sunak�*s decision to sack ministers, the last example we can point to was nadhim zahawi, the conservative party chairman. the prime minister got a report which said that nadhim zahawi had broken the ministerial code and he was gone within the hour. this one is clearly proving more agonising for the prime minister. he has had it for several hours. i think it is worth highlighting a couple of things. firstly, this report has been going on for a long time. the senior lawyer who was looking into bullying allegations against mr robb, adam tolly, started his probe in november. he has taken evidence from a lot of people, many of them complain saying there was a problem with dominic raab's behaviour, but some of them were people who didn't think that, who thought dominic raab wasn't a bully, so we don't know what is in that report, but it
4:49 pm
suggests to me that is proving quite complicated, that it is not a slam dunk, it is not black and white, there are shades of grey in this. the other thing to be reminded of it is dominic raab is extremely close to the prime minister. he was by his side throughout the leadership campaign. last summer, when rishi sunak was trying to become prime minister, dominic raab is one of his loyal loo tenants. i remember him being at events when it was pretty clear that rishi sunak was going to lose that leadership campaign to liz truss, dominic raab was still there backing him. so it will be a difficult decision to take in that respect as well. but whatever is going on, we are not going to find out today about dominic raab's future. : ~ :, :, out today about dominic raab's future. w :, :, , :. out today about dominic raab's future. w :, :, i. :, ~ out today about dominic raab's future. :, :, .~ :, future. nick, what do you make of the fact that _ future. nick, what do you make of the fact that it — future. nick, what do you make of the fact that it is _ future. nick, what do you make of the fact that it is taking _ future. nick, what do you make of the fact that it is taking longer, i the fact that it is taking longer, let's say, than previous times? what do you make of the fact we are not going to hear anything today and it is probably going to be pushed into tomorrow, if then? i is probably going to be pushed into tomorrow, if then?— tomorrow, if then? i think the obvious conclusion _ tomorrow, if then? i think the obvious conclusion to - tomorrow, if then? i think the obvious conclusion to draw- tomorrow, if then? i think the obvious conclusion to draw is| tomorrow, if then? i think the | obvious conclusion to draw is it tomorrow, if then? i think the i obvious conclusion to draw is it is a complicated case. it is not
4:50 pm
something where rishi sunak has received a report that says that dominic raab has clearly bullied a lot of people on a lot of occasions. we didn't really expect that because the report was actually commissioned to be a fact—finding mission. mr sunak was always going to be the ultimate arbiter of whatever he was told, the man who made the decision about mr dominic raab's future. but there are a lot of people in westminster over the past few weeks who thought that dominic raab was toast. that the number of people who had complained, the fact that there are eight formal complaints involved in this process meant it was going to be very hard for him to survive. 0thers to be very hard for him to survive. others thought it was more complicated and this afternoon we just don't know what side mr sunak is going to use come down on. stat; is going to use come down on. stay riiht is going to use come down on. stay ri . ht there is going to use come down on. stay right there because i want to take this opportunity to say goodbye to our international viewers here on bbc news. before you go, ijust want to show the live page of our website, international viewers and uk viewers can take a look at this. there is our political editor, chris
4:51 pm
mason, who has broken the news, as we heard from the early a few that the premise will not announce his decision today. the bbc understands that the prime minister to announce his decision on the future of dominic raab. so we'll be waiting for that decision, who knows when it will come? but for now, goodbye to our international viewers on the bbc. now let's go back to nick and we were talking there about what we are gleaning for the fact that this is taking longer than expected and you were talking about how complicated the issue is and i guess theissue complicated the issue is and i guess the issue here is that there will be people, as you mentioned, who spoke to the inquiry who gave both positive and negative accounts of dominic raab's behaviour, if you like? , ~ :, , like? yes, i think that is absolutely _ like? yes, i think that is absolutely it. _ like? yes, i think that is absolutely it. when - like? yes, i think that is absolutely it. when you| like? yes, i think that is - absolutely it. when you speak to people who have worked with dominic raab, his political allies, a lot of them will say to you, look, he is a difficult boss. he is pretty demanding and he can be pretty curt.
4:52 pm
but i don't think he is a bully. that is one argument. the other argument we have heard in reports from the bbc and reports in newspapers and some anonymous briefings as well is that is to dominic raab's behaviour was really problematic in some people thought that it was bullying, so i suppose in some senses that is a judgment call, different people can come to different conclusions, but what the prime minister always said after we got those formal complaints was that he wanted to see the facts, he wanted to see what this report came up wanted to see what this report came up with. we don't know how long it is, we have asked, we are not being told. we don't know what mr sunak is looking at. we have asked. we have not been told. this whole process is going on within a bit of a tunnel at the moment. i think there is a real frustration in the unions who have represented some of those involved in this process, but this is taking so long, that the fda who represents some civil servants are saying, imagine being one of those working
4:53 pm
in a department, frustrated at the fact that this is taking so long, wondering what is going to happen to someone you don't think is a good boss, basically watching it play out over hours and hours. number ten told us this morning that the report had been received. i suppose they didn't have to do that, although we were asking them a lot about when it was going to happen. but they told us that mr sunak had it and i think a lot of people at that point would have expected a pretty swift outcome, not least because number ten said they wanted a swift outcome. but here we are five and a half hours after we were told that that report had been received. it must�*ve happened before that, so several hours after the prime minister got this report, he has not been able to decide whether it means dominic raab should or shouldn't stay in hisjob. i suppose it is worth pointing out as well that rishi sunak is the prime minister. he does have stuff on. he is a pretty busy man. he is probably doing other things this afternoon as well. i think it was that a reception some point this afternoon
4:54 pm
in street. but the problem for him is that people who expected him to take a quick decision were basing that on the day he became prime minister. he stood at number ten outside and said, integrity, professionalism, accountability are going to be bywords for my government, and he has been held to a high standard on that. some might question why this is taking so long. but as we stand here, 5pm on thursday, rishi sunak has not been able to make up his mind about dominic raab's future. we are not going to find out tonight after five months of an inquiry the decision on what that inquiry should lead to is going to take a bit longer. hick. going to take a bit longer. nick, thank ou going to take a bit longer. nick, thank you very _ going to take a bit longer. nick, thank you very much _ going to take a bit longer. nick, thank you very much indeed. . going to take a bit longer. nick, thank you very much indeed. nick early there. one more story for you before we go. hundreds of rare pictures of king charles have been rescued in los angeles. the photographs, which have spent a decade leading dust, are now up for
4:55 pm
sale with dealers hoping to fetch a royal mint as the coronation approaches. my colleaguejane hill has been taking a look. many of these remarkable photos have never been seen before. they tell the story of a young royal who became prince of wales... and is now king. but they also give an insight into the man behind the crown will stop with a keen love of sport... carrying out his duties as a royal... and perhaps the most intriguing shots... the candid ones of him just having fun with proof that we can all have a bad hair day. these photos lay discarded in a warehouse for ten years after they were sent to the us to be digitised.. when the company went bust, they were destined to be lost to history. they were discovered almost by accident by an la —based art dealer. with interests now at an all—time high in the run—up to the coronation, these snapshots give a remarkable insight into the man who
