this is bbc news. the bbc understands that the first group of asylum seekers to be housed on board a barge are expected to arrive later today. england's lionesses are currently facing off against nigeria at the women's world cup and later today, denmark take on australia. a secret military base in the uk is best known for conducting research into chemical warfare — but scientists are taking on a new and, as yet, unidentified disease. and the barbie movie has passed over $1 billion at the global box office, making greta gerwig the first woman to reach the milestone as a solo director. hello.

we start in the uk where the first asylum seekers to be housed on board a barge in dorset are expected to arrive later today. the use of the bibby stockholm to house up to 500 people had been delayed by safety concerns. ministers insist the vessel will help reduce the cost of placing migrants in hotels. dan johnson reports. three weeks after reaching portland, the bibby stockholm looks like it's about to take up its role, as a home for asylum seekers and a display of a tougher approach to immigration. this is part of the government's insistence on reducing hotel bills, currently around £6 million a day, and deterring migrants from crossing the channel. it's controversial. concerns about fire safety saw it labelled a death trap, but it seems everything may now be in place. we have seen a letter sent to asylum seekers, saying they'll be moved here later today. now, that did happen twice last week

and then there were delays, but this is the first time a specific date�*s been mentioned. and the home office is under pressure now to make this work. when i was shown around, officials emphasised it was safe and clean, but basic and functional. in the past, offshore workers have stayed here and other countries have used it for asylum seekers. but fitting bunk beds has doubled its capacity and heightened concerns about inhumane, unsafe conditions. no hate, no fear. all: refugees are welcome here! broader opposition has followed local protests about the impact on this community and its public services. many still feel this is the wrong thing in the wrong place. but it's become a test of whether the government can turn its ideas, its plans and rhetoric over immigration into real, workable solutions. danjohnson, bbc news, portland.

so far this morning we have not seen any activity around the barge which is just behind any activity around the barge which isjust behind me here in portland harbour, rapidly become part of the harbour scene very quickly. we are expecting the first tranche of asylum seekers to go on board. as dan mentioned in his film, the bbc has seen the letter from the home office to asylum seekers telling them they will be moved onto the barge. it does say they will be free to come and go from the barge but they are requested to sign in and out. it also lists the facilities on board, things like a nurse recreational space and english classes. the barge has been massively controversial. even before it arrived there was no consultation for local people and even for the local council, dorset council. we saw a whole series of protests and demonstrations, i was at some of those, knew they had to be there to fully experience the

passion and the emotion of people who thought that here in portland, port was entirely the wrong place to house over 500 male asylum seekers, and people worried about the impact on local services and the local tourist industry. the barge has been here sincejuly tourist industry. the barge has been here since july the 18th, tourist industry. the barge has been here sincejuly the 18th, we were expecting asylum seekers to go on board quite rapidly after that but there have been a whole series of delays caused by concerns about fire safety and other issues. the fire brigades union described the barge is a potential death trap, the government's immigration minister robertjenrick has said i can absolutely assure you this is a safe facility, the government of course wants to get to move on because it wants to get to move on because it wants to get to move on because it wants to reduce the cost of housing asylum seekers and hotels, the moment over 50,000 asylum seekers and hotels, costing the taxpayer over £6 million a year, so the scene set today here in the sunshine on the dorset coast for the first time

seekers to arrive and then we are expecting more to follow in the coming and weeks. from portland harbour back to you. i coming and weeks. from portland harbour back to you.— coming and weeks. from portland harbour back to you. i want to show ou a live harbour back to you. i want to show you a live shot _ harbour back to you. i want to show you a live shot of— harbour back to you. i want to show you a live shot of the _ harbour back to you. i want to show you a live shot of the bibby - you a live shot of the bibby stockholm, which is murdered up they are just off the dorset coast —— which is moored. it is three stories high, more than 93 metres long and as we heard it had originally been used to house around 222 people. since refurbishments it will now house around 506 people. again, only male asylum seekers will stay there. we believe for a 3—6 months while their asylum claims are processed. the british government repeatedly saying it will be better value for

british taxpayers and also more manageable for local communities. local communities there of the south coast of dorset are up in arms, mainly, saying that they are not happy with this arrangement and campaigners though say this is inhumane for men to be held in the bibby stockholm. so we are keeping a close eye as to when those 50 men initially are expected to board the barge later today, just a mangy human rights groups are expressing concern, calling it inhumane. ministers say the boat is and cheaper than using hotels. more on this as and when we get it. let's move on to sport and specifically the women's football world cup where

the women's football world cup where the lioness is, england's lionesses will be facing nigeria's falcons in the last 16. a short time ago, the score was goalless. they nigerians are 11 time african champions, but have never gone further than the quarterfinal stage at the world cup, meanwhile england won euro 2022 last summer, we all remember that, and are among the favourites to win this tournament, especially with big names like the usa and germany, as well as brazil, out of the tournament. latertoday well as brazil, out of the tournament. later today they host australia will be taking on denmark and it's all to play for with many big nations out of the tournament. joining me live is ruth ormerod, girls football coach at ilkleyjuniors in bradford. alsojoining me is louise marriott and her daughter edie marriott.

today? and in terms of nigeria, because i'm sure you follow the sport so closely, how much of a threat do you think nigeria are? have you done a bit of research into them and decided england are going to have to play like this and that too when?— too when? well, first of all, i think that _ too when? well, first of all, i think that they _ too when? well, first of all, i think that they score - too when? well, first of all, i think that they score might . too when? well, first of all, i - think that they score might probably be 1—0 to england because i have watched nigeria play, iforgot the team they played against, but they are good, and england need to play strongly, they need to just win it. i can see a future sports football commentator there. you know your stuff. wejust commentator there. you know your stuff. we just need commentator there. you know your stuff. wejust need england commentator there. you know your stuff. we just need england to win it, don't we? i'm sure the nigerians will be saying exactly the same

thing. enjoy the rest of the game, which is entering half—time shortly. thank you. the uk government has said it will triple fines against employers and landlords who allow illegal migrants to work for them, or rent their properties, in the hope of deterring channel crossings. firms who are found to have repeatedly employed illegal migrants could face fines of up to £60,000 per breach. the home office says opportunities for illegal working and renting are significant pull factors for illegal migration. immigration minister robertjenrick said the move would help to deter the dangerous channel crossings. live now to westminster and our chief political correspondent, nick eardley.

how big a problem is the spice looks, the government's argument is that it's a significant part of the business models that help bring people to the uk on small boats. they are making a pretty big thing today of saying we think that cracking down on people working illegally or living in accommodation illegally or living in accommodation illegally will have an impact. so the two things the government are seeing today is one, yes, we will increase those fine significantly, to say to employers and landlords if you have someone illegally working for you are living in your accommodation then you could face financial ruin. the government also saying it is going to increase enforcement of these fines and make sure it is cracking down as much as possible on people who are breaking the law. so i think it's part of a wider messaging, we were talking earlier about the bibby stockholm and the government's plans to house some asylum seekers on barges. dom

actually booed at this issue and everything we can to reduce the amount of people coming into the uk and the big question is what impact will it have and will it fulfil rishi sunak�*s promised to stop the small boats? taste rishi sunak's promised to stop the small boats?— small boats? we have to leave it there butjust — small boats? we have to leave it there but just to _ small boats? we have to leave it there butjust to remind - small boats? we have to leave itj there butjust to remind viewers, they shot they have on screen right now is just another of those immigration policies being employed by the uk government, and we are expecting around 50 men to board that part for the first time later today. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. italian coastguards have recovered the bodies of an african woman and her child after two boats carrying ninety migrants sunk off the island of lampedusa. more than 30 others

are still missing. survivors told italian media that the boats had set off from the tunisian port of sfax. more than two— thousand migrants have arrived in lampedusa in the past few days. israeli security forces say they have killed three alleged palestinian militants in the north of the occupied west bank, near the juh—neen refugee camp. the camp was the focus of a major military operation last month. it marks a further escalation in a wave of violence over the weekend. and 2a people have died in morocco after the minibus they were travelling in plunged down a ravine in a mountainous area. authorities have said the bus was taking people to market in central morocco. you're live with bbc news. an inquest is due to begin today into the death of a 27—year—old man,

which his family believe was linked to mould in their privately rented home. luke brooks died from respiratory problems last year. the case will be heard by the same coroner who investigated the death of two—year—old awaab ishak, who died due to mould exposure in 2020. our north of england correspondent, fiona trott, reports. he had plans. he's never going to experience love. he's never going to have children. i've got a great grandchild on the way and he's not going to see it. we've shouted from the top of the mountain, haven't we? nothing. nobody�*s helped us — no—one. what is life like for you at the moment? oh, god. nightmare. absolute nightmare. afraid of the house they were living in. shouldn't be doing that. it's all wet. we first visited jimmy and patsy about three months ago.

it's where luke died. they believe all this killed him. it started, he said, "mum, my chest feels a bit bit sore." i said, "right," i said, "we'll keep an eye on it." and he progressively got worse, to the point where he could hardly breathe. two days after, dead, gone. mould was everywhere, it was even on their clothes. caused by nine years of disrepair, they believe, and constant leaks. second leak. you can see it's going down the walls. i was stood here, i was doing sandwiches for my son. next minute, i felt the drip and the next minute i got a shower. every time they go in the shower, that leaks. that's dangerous, that. i'm frightened of one of them getting electrocuted up there. there's wires there. what has the landlord done about it? nothing. "i'll get it sorted." everything's knackered in here. waste of space, man. this is luke's room.

where was the mould? all around the windows. it's ridiculous. it's freezing cold. when mould forms across here, my mind starts racing and then i start thinking about him and ijust can't stop crying. he was my rock, my best mate. beautiful lad. why couldn't they just sort it out? why couldn't they just fix it? i'd have looked after it. nine years of hell we've had, nine years of hell. surviving the cold. surviving this, surviving that. it shouldn't be about surviving. i've not had a life, me and my husband, or my family. it's just been this house. "what are we going to do? what can... how can we do...? get out of here. what can we do?" you know what i mean? i've tried.

this all feels quite familiar because the hearing into luke's death is being held by the same coroner and in the same court as the awaab ishak inquest, the little toddler who died from mould exposure in his home. and at that inquest, we heard there was concern about this automatic assumption that in houses like these across the uk, it's tenants and their lifestyles that are to blame. and patsy and jimmy have told us they did everything. they said they even used mould treatment themselves. they played their part, they say, and they want this inquest to find out if their landlords and other authorities played their part, too. we've approached the landlord for comment but haven't yet had a response. meanwhile, both the department for levelling up housing and communities and oldham council expressed their deepest condolences and said they were unable to discuss the case until the inquest was over. jimmy and patsy have now moved. hi, patsy, how are you doing? all right.

oh, wow. it's very different, isn't it? it's warm and it even smells different. clea n. no mould. you all right? you look well. hi,jimmy. you all right? yeah. how do you feel? better. the last time you said, "living." you're not living, you're surviving. yeah, i were surviving, we weren't living lives. we were surviving, that was it. do you feel you've got your life back? definitely, yeah. patsy and jimmy say their grief is compounded by their need for answers. they hope the inquest will help them heal. i'm just moving on. i'm moving on. i'm going to try. it's not going to be easy. fiona trott, bbc news oldham. the alaskan capital registers

a record flooding after a glacial dam outburst last saturday, prompting evacuations for some of its residents. and this is the moment a house collapsed into the mendenhall river injuneau during the floods. one of the world s longest ruling leaders, hun sen of cambodia has handed over power to his son, hun manet who has been appointed prime minister by the king. days after a landslide victory injuly�*s election, hun sen, announced he was stepping down as prime minister and handing power to his eldest son. the move ends his decades long reign during which he established stability after years of war but stifled democracy in the process. our south east asia

correspondentjonathan head has the latest. his eldest son is now the new prime minister although he has to go before parliament to have his new government confirmed in the next couple of weeks but that is in your formality as well because the ruling party, which is very much his own vehicle, completely dominates parliament after an election in which the main opposition was actually banned from contesting it. so the new prime minister is a much youngerface, a different younger face, a different generation, youngerface, a different generation, little—known relay, has been very prominent in the cambodian army and western educated, unlike his father, who came up through the crucible of a revolution, a very different background, but not tested in politics. as really only been active in politics in the last year also nobody knows what kind of prime minister he is going to be but i think the hope is that this a gradual transition and does not

create any dramatic changes and that his son gets a chance to bed down. it is a difficult thing to do, hun sen has so dominated the country in these last 38 years, come to almost personalise politics, sits at the centre of a web of complex alliances with other powerful figures, all of whom are ambitious, and his marriage very skilfully to play one off against the other, but the map as well. cambodia has lots of challenges, and economy very dependent on international demand, there is quality, environmental destruction, massive corruption, all things that will challenge this new untested man in charge of the country. let's go live to the south coast of england and the coastal town of dorset, the bibby stockholm barge. later we expect to see the first 50 asylum seekers for that barge is part of the uk government's policy
