they made mistakes and they are prepared to stand on that —— by saying. situation like this is where we need to look at this and say, how do we hold accountability and also allow there to be a reframing and relearning. allow there to be a reframing and relearninu. . ~ allow there to be a reframing and relearning— relearning. thank you very much indeed. and to play us out we have film of last night's performance and the song "berlin". goodnight. # sorry love i'm running home # i'm a child of sun and the stars i love # ooooh ooooh.#

applause i think this is a great example of how tactical mistakes can have strategic consequences. what we're talking about here is negligent, highly dangerous russian activity, very poorly

controlled, running the risk of a major escalation. the ministry of defence immediately requested an explanation from the russians. the then defence secretary described it as potentially dangerous, but accepted moscow's explanation. the reply by the russian ministry of defense on the 10th of october stated that they have conducted an investigation into the circumstances of the incident and say stated it was a technical malfunction of the su 27 fighter. but the pentagon later described the incident in starker terms. leaked us intelligence documents called it a near shoot down. one official said the incident was very, very scary. it's not the only time russian pilots have displayed unprofessional, reckless behavior. earlier this year, a russian fighter jet forced a remotely piloted us drone to ditch. it was also flying a surveillance mission over the black sea.

despite the sneer shoot down an raf surveillance aircraft continued despite the sneer shoot down an raf surveillance aircraft continued to fly missions up the black sea. though now they are works —— escorted byjets armed with missiles. this mission was a narrow escape but could have easily escalated. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. the united kingdom's health secretary is backing the introduction of what's known as "martha's rule", to ensure hospital patients know they have the right to a second opinion. the name comes from martha mills who died from sepsis after a biking injury, her mother had raised concerns about her treatment. nhs england will now work to action the rule. three officers from london's met police will face a misconduct hearing over the 2020 strip—search of a 15—year—old schoolgirl, known as child o. the incident sparked protests. the trio face allegations that it was inappropriate

to carry out the search, while the girl was on her period. the uk government has refused to guarantee that the hs2 rail line will run to manchester as planned after reports that the prime minister and chancellor are in talks about scrapping it. downing street suggested the government would need to balance the interests of "passengers and taxpayers", when asked whether the scheme could be shelved in the face of spiralling costs and delays. you're live with bbc news. the family of a colombian man who's believed to have taken his own life at a heathrow immigration removal centre earlier this year says he had begged for help and was willing to leave the uk. the 39—year—old died within a month of being locked up, even though, according to his family, he had no existing mental health problems. here's our home affairs correspondent tom symonds. 5,000 miles from london, a family is in mourning. translation: he wanted to return | to colombia to continue his work. | he was a civil engineer, a professional.

the sister and brother—in—law of frank ospina are bewildered by his death in a british immigration detention centre, but they are sure he wasn't an asylum seeker. translation: he said i he could pay his ticket out but they said he would stay there for months. he was in the uk to visit his mother before studying in spain, but he was caught working illegally and sent to the detention centres at heathrow. the family believe his mental health was fine when he went in but it went rapidly downhill. translation: he didn't ask for help, he begged for help. _ and he was begging for help not only to us but also to the people there, like the guards. on the 26th of march, he was found dead. family have been told he took his own life. they believe a critical factor was being detained. immigration removal centres are like prisons,

with one difference, no set release date. although detainees can get bail. home office says detention should be as short as possible, but then it has also promised to stop the boats. the government has toughened the law, one change, it will be removing more migrants who use deception to come to the uk. small boats for example. it says these centres are essential to that policy, so they will be filling up. but pressure is already starting to tell. in one of the heathrow removal centres two days after the death of frank ospina there was a protest involving what appeared to be a coordinated suicide attempt according to reports by custody officers obtained by human rights journalists at liberty investigates and the charity medical injustice. officers said it was... staff prevented injuries. a detainee representing those involved told us they were

angry that... this doctor has overseen assessments of 66 detainees. 13 had attempted suicide. throughout clients, that kind of sudden nature of detention and the indefinite nature of detention can really be a crisis in their mental health and really can cause a great deal of stress and exacerbation of any current mental health problems. the home office, but incidents of self—harm are treated very seriously and every step is taken to try and prevent incidents of this nature. our staff are rigorously trained to ensure the safety of residents. but the family of frank ospina believe that if the government is locking up someone who wants to leave britain, something may have gone wrong. tom symonds, bbc news, harmondsworth.

the uk prime minister has admitted it'll be difficult to keep his promise to cut hospital waiting lists in england. rishi sunak says strikes by national health service, or nhs, staff has made the situation worse. more than 7.5 million people are now waiting for an appointment, the highest number since records began. here's our health editor, hugh pym. no time to say hi, so i'll say thanks, thanks, thanks. you guys do a smashing job. in a hurry to tell staff about new money for the nhs. someone else is going to have to do this. the prime minister was at north devon district hospital announcing plans to cope with winter pressures. in the south—west of england, services last winter were under severe strain with long ambulance delays. so what sort of, well, reception would rishi sunak get? local people have to wait years to get treatment. i've been waiting nearly three years. well, that's what, actually, that's the benefit of units like this, which kind of separate... one of mr sunak�*s key aims is speeding up treatment for patients.

you go home today? that's fantastic. and are you going home home? are you still on course to hit your target of reducing waiting lists before the election? well, obviously that is challenging with industrial action. there's no two ways about it. we were making very good progress before industrial action. so is it possible that you'll miss that target? well, with industrial action, it's very hard to continue to meet these targets. but what i would say is we are making very good progress despite industrial action. last year, we virtually eliminated the number of people waiting two years. are you saying that without industrial action you would've met your target? yes, i'm confident that we would have, and that's what all our plans showed. but what's he doing about resolving the dispute? it's not my view on what pay should be... but why, as prime minister, can you not... this is independent. ..get round the table with the doctors to try and find a way through this? why can't you initiate some talks? we have tried in the past, and actually, i'm really grateful to the over a million nhs workers, including all our nurses, who did do exactly as you describe — got round the table, worked it out with the government, came to a sensible resolution.

but there have been no talks with the doctors for months, nothing at all. as i said, over a million nhs workers and half a dozen nhs unions did do exactly as you described. the doctors' union hit back after hearing those comments. well, that's a cheap shot, isn't it? blaming doctors for ten years of rising waiting lists. - if we go back to 2013, 2.6 million people - on a waiting list, no strikes. if we go to the beginning, prior to the pandemic, - 4 million on waiting lists, no strikes. i the end of the pandemic, | 6 million on a waiting list. elsewhere in the south—west, tony is among those on a list for treatment. he's been waiting a year for a knee operation with no word when it'll happen. everything i do takes dramatically longer because i can only move relatively few inches at a time using crutches. ijust can't walk down the street. i can't walk across the room. i have to use them whenever

i move anywhere at all. the scottish government has agreed a deal with junior doctors and there is a ballot in wales. there's no government, so no talks in northern ireland, but in england continued strike action leads to increased winter pressures on the nhs. hugh pym, bbc news, north devon. it's described by organisers as the uk's answer to the met gala , it's anna wintor�*s �*vogue world' and the stars have descended on london's west end for it. a warning there's some flash photography. the gala is billed as a celebration of britain's rich cultural scene, with proceeds going to a wide range of performing arts organisations. wintour — vogue's editor in chief — says she hopes it serves as a reminder of how important the arts are, and how much they need to be supported. our reporter annabel rackham was on the red carpet.

this event is all about celebrating the arts in the uk. i spoke to dame ana wintour to her who is the editor of the us edition of vogue before the event, but more importantly, was involved in setting this appeared today. she said that she wanted to give back to some of the organisations that had been affected during the pandemic. so this event is all about celebrating uk culture and art. some of the money being raised tonight from ticket sales and also from donations is going towards bigger organisations like the national theatre and the royal opera house, but also two smaller ones too, more grassroots organisations. so tonight has been a frenetic couple of hours on the red carpet. we have had everyone from the world of fashion, people like sienna miller, georgia jagger and cara delvine, acting royalty as well like damien lewis and kate winslet. and also some people from the musical world as well, we have had andrew lloyd webber, who famously owns this theatre and has given up the space this evening.

and also stormzy, who is currently on stage performing right now. so this has been a very busy event, but of course fashion is the most important thing. it's at the heart of everything that has gone on tonight. and that is because this is going to be seen as a flagship event for london fashion week, which starts tomorrow, so it was reflecting some of the crazy outfits we saw this evening and we will probably see a lot more over the weekend. that's all for now. much more on all of our stories on the bbc news website. stay with us, there'll be more news at the top of the hour. you're watching bbc news. thanks very much for watching. hello. the weather is looking a little mixed over the next few days. certainly some sunshine on offer and really quite warm weather in the south of the country, but the further north you are, you're more likely to run into the cloud with some outbreaks of rain. and that's exactly what's happening right now. if we look at the satellite picture,

you can see a weather front there spreading across ireland into more central parts of the uk. so here it's the case of thicker cloud and some outbreaks of rain. to the south of the weather front we've got that warmer, more humid air spreading in from spain and also france and that will be in place across most of england and wales through friday. so here's the forecast then through the early hours, you can see where the rain is and the cloudier conditions for the north. in the south, it's warmer and clearer temperatures of around 12—14 degrees celsius, fresher there in the glens of scotland, around 5—7 degrees celsius. so in the morning it's cloudy and rainy across the far north of england, parts of northern ireland, the south of scotland, though the north of scotland is fine in the morning. and then further south across england and wales, i think through the course of the morning, into the afternoon, we'll just see fair weather, cloud building. it will be a really warm day. temperatures in the low to mid 20s, 22 for birmingham, 20 for norwich and london could get up to about 26. for the north, only

around ia degrees. now on saturday the weather front still with us. it's kind of stuck in this area of high pressure, very little wind to move things around. so it'll be here until it really just rains itself out. so thick of cloud and spots of rain through this part of the country. notice the blobs of blue here, the potential for one or two showers and thunderstorms later in the day. but on the whole, it's a dry day for most of us, at least. really warm in the south—east, again, 26 or seven degrees with that continental influence as the fraction higher, i think in the north. now on the showers and thunderstorms, they really get going i think on sunday spreading in initially to south—western and western areas and they'll probably move further north and east. frequent lightning, gusty winds, maybe hail, that sort of thing. so it could be quite lively for some of us, at least later on sunday. lower temperatures in the south on sunday, slightly higher in the north. now, here's the outlook then — we've got a couple of really warm days then across more southern parts of the uk. but after that, the temperatures are closer to the seasonal norm. and the weather, well, of course, a little more unsettled with rain and showers at times. bye— bye.

again, slower and driven murderously over extra cover for four. one bounce and crashes into the netting in front of the bar. perfectly timed and this is exceptional batting. wonderful to watch. ranaweera

for those who want to see vladimir putin defeated in ukraine, this was supposed to be a decisive phase of the war, a counter—offensive to break through russia's defensive lines alongside a chokehold on the russian economy. is it working? well, at first glance, no. the fighting on the front lines is attritional and hugely costly to both sides. putin's home front has shown cracks, but it hasn't crumbled. my guest is vladimir milov, once a russian minister, now an anti—putin activist in exile. can putin outlast his enemies?
