keir starmer describes the by—election result as �*seismic�*. the united nations is sending investigators to the village of hroza, in north—east ukraine, where a missile strike killed more than 50 people. we are in a playground where most of the bodies were recovered and eerily, the swings and the slide are still standing. and the french government battles to contain nationwide panic over bedbugs in paris, just nine months before the capital hosts the olympic games. hello. welcome to verified live. a woman — jailed in iran — has won the nobel peace prize. narges mohammadi — the most prominent iranian women's rights advocate — was honoured for what the nobel committee said, was her "fight against the oppression of women in iran,

and her efforts for promoting human rights and freedom for all. narges mohammadi has been arrested 13 times, convicted five times and sentenced to a total of 31 years in prison. the committee said her brave struggle, has come with tremendous personal cost. caroline hawley reports. in iran last year, spearheaded by women, an extraordinary rebellion set off by the death in police custody of a young woman detained for allegedly not wearing her veil properly. the nobel committee said this award was for the hundreds of thousands of iranians who had stood up against a theocratic regime's policies of discrimination and oppression against women. narges mohammadi is iran's most prominent human rights activist. here she was seven years ago, criticising the regime for forcing women to wear the hijab while allowing corruption to run rampant. she is currently serving

a ten—year sentence. her brave struggle has come with tremendous personal cost. altogether, the regime has arrested her 13 times, convicted her five times and sentenced her to a total of 31 years in prison and 154 lashes. among the many iranians who see her as a hero is nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who was held in the same jail as her. they became friends. she told the bbc... it comes amid international concern for this 16—year—old girl. armita gravand.

cctv caught her on sunday walking purposefully unveiled into the metro in tehran. this is her a little later. iran hasn't released images of what happened inside the carriage, but activists say iran's morality police beat her and she's now in a coma. the awarding of the nobel peace prize to narges mohammadi sends a very strong message that the world is watching the iranian regime. shortly after the announcement, narges mohammadi's husband and son spoke to my colleague bahman kalbasi in paris. translation: how do you feel about narges having won - the nobel peace prize? what was your feeling when you heard the news? i was in a class and couldn't show much emotion. but what went through your mind? i was very happy and felt proud of my mum. it took a few moments for me to come to terms with it, so in the beginning, i wasjust happy and proud

of my mum, just like i'am always, like yesterday and the day before that. this award belongs to the iranian people. it is because of the protests. when did you last talk to your mum? about a year and six or eight months ago, but she's always in my heart. if you could talk to her now, what would you say? mum, i'm very proud of you. be brave, like always. i love you very much, take care of yourself. we are all proud of you here and always stand behind you. mr rahmani, what about you? when the announcer said woman, life, freedom in the beginning _ of her remarks, i knew that the award had - been given to narges. it may be glad. it made me glad. but i've gone through many ups and downs in my life. _ i knew that this prize, i

apart from bringing joy to its receiver, would carry a lot of responsibilities with it. - i narges is a representative of all| those who this prize has gone to. it belongs to women, life, freedom, lwhich was a huge movement in iranl and still continues to exist. it makes me very happy. it is the biggest prize one can- receive as a human rights activist. formally, ms ebadi, from iran, had received the prize. -

hamilton west by—election — in what's being seen as a key test of the party's ability to regain seats in scotland. with a larger—than—expected swing of 20.4%, labour's michael shanks secured just under 18,000 votes, more than double the total for the snp�*s katy loudon, who came second. the by—election was triggered by the removal of the snp�*s margaret ferrier, after she broke covid lockdown rules. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordon was at the count. welcome to scotland's newest mp, michael shanks! a striking victory in what was a marginal seat, with the victorious labour candidate notching up a majority of more than 9,000 votes, his party describing it as a "seismic and historic win". they said that we couldn't change the labour party, and we did it. they said that we couldn't win in the south of england and the north of england, and we did it.

they said, you'll never beat the snp in scotland, and, rutherglen, you did it. from the party's leader to activists working the streets, labour poured resources into this constituency and their win was much, much bigger than many had expected. michael shanks, scottish labour party, 17,841... labour winning double the votes cast for the snp. the party of power at holyrood faced challenges going into the vote and had been managing expectations of a win, but even so, this was a bruising result for them. i do recognise that we have a big challenge on our hands and as a party, we need to come together collectively to right the wrongs that have happened in the last few months. turnout was low, but those crunching the numbers say if this result was repeated uniformly across scotland, labour

could win as many as 42 seats in a general election. by—elections will often exaggerate the swing against the government but, still, it's the direction of travel that you cannot ignore in this by—election. i suspect that if this kind of swing was replicated across scotland as a whole, labour would quite clearly be the dominant party north of the border once again. labour believe this win demonstrates they are back in business in scotland, and with a general election looming, hope this will give momentum to their push for more scottish seats and the keys to number ten. lorna gordon, bbc news. scotland's first minister and the snp leader gave his reaction, he said his — snp leader gave his reaction, he said his party had had a difficult night _ live now to our political correspondent nick eardley. as the dust settles, this was quite

a result. just take us through in your view, what does it tell you about the state of play where you are of labour, the snp and the conservatives?— conservatives? well, the big . uestion conservatives? well, the big question was _ conservatives? well, the big question was not _ conservatives? well, the big question was not whether i conservatives? well, the big - question was not whether labour would win, they were pretty confident about that, it was how much they would win by. and i've got to say the majority that labour have won here is much bigger than most people were expecting. and i think that does two things. firstly, it makes labour a lot more confident about picking up other seats in scotland. when you check to senior people in the labour party this morning, they are now eyeing a 20, maybe 30 seats in scotland at the general election. that is extraordinary when you think that yesterday, they had one, this by—election means they have two. labour were all but wiped out in scotland after the independence referendum, they are now eyeing 30 seats. the second thing that is

really significant about that is it makes the prospect of labour winning the general election uk—wide and taking power at westminster even greater. labour know that they need to win a number of seats in scotland if they are going to do well in a general election. when tony blair won in 2005, the last election labour won in the uk, he had 41 scottish seats. the fact that labour think they are back on to something in scotland means that the prospect of winning that general election is a little less daunting. the prospect of winning a majority in the house of winning a majority in the house of commons is less daunting, too. there are caveats to all of this. scottish politics is politics —— volatile, things could change before the general election, by—election and general election results are sometimes quite different. but having covered labourfor sometimes quite different. but having covered labour for years sometimes quite different. but having covered labourfor years now in scotland, i have never seen them less optimistic. i in scotland, i have never seen them less optimistic.— less optimistic. i mean, the swing was uuite

less optimistic. i mean, the swing was quite eye-catching. _ less optimistic. i mean, the swing was quite eye-catching. are - less optimistic. i mean, the swing was quite eye-catching. are there was quite eye—catching. are there any votes perhaps lent to labour by conservatives who want to oppose the snp and the push for independence that might fall back or continue to go forward in this sort of equation? there are definitely tactical votes, there is no doubt about that. there is a complex mix of things that go into the pot when the scottish electorate makes its decisions, one of them is the view on the westminster government, one of them is a view on the scottish government, the snp, one of them is independence in the constitution. and for years, there has been tactical voting in scotland where the biggest anti—independence party often gets lent votes from other, supporters of other anti—independence parties. the conservatives lost their deposit last night, that means they got less than 5% of the vote, which is pretty humiliating for them. but there is also now i think a big question about what the snp does next. the snp has had a new leaderfor a few

months now, humza yousaf, the first minister of scotland. he has been saying, look, ultimately, this is my responsibility. i am the party leader. but it wouldn't surprise me if there is a lot of soul—searching and may be questioning of his leadership, a bit of questioning of the party's strategy at this by—election and the snp really have to figure out how on earth they are going to get their core vote out and add to it if they are not going to lose more seats to labour at a general election. undoubtedly, this has been a tough day for both the snp and the conservatives. hick snp and the conservatives. nick eardle , snp and the conservatives. nick eardley, thanks _ snp and the conservatives. nick eardley, thanks very _ snp and the conservatives. nick eardley, thanks very much. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. the most vulnerable children will be living with the long shadow of covid for the next ten or 20 years, according to the former children's

commissioner for england. anne longfield said that on occasion, the government's decisions were "incoherent" and that they were "indifferent" to the impact on children. the royal college of nursing is urging the government to scrap an increase in the cost of a health and care visa, which they warn will make the uk a less attractive place to work. the college says the increase may make nursing unaffordable. politicians and privacy campaigners say the police and private campaign —— police should stop facial recognition surveillance, they say it raises issues around human rights and has the potentialfor discrimination. the cameras have already been outlawed in the eu. the international paralympics committee has announced the lighting point for all future paralympic torches. the flame will be lit at stoke mandeville in buckinghamshire to recognise its legacy. you are live with bbc news. the united nations is sending investigators to a village

in north—east ukraine where a missile strike killed more than 50 people yesterday. a un spokeswoman said initial indications were that russia had carried out the attack, which hit a cafe full of mourners holding a wake. she said there didn't appear to be any military targets nearby, but said that would need further examination. the kremlin has insisted it doesn't target civilians. the blast is the deadliest in the country in more than a year. 0ur correspondent james waterhouse travelled to hroza to see the scene of the attack. as you can see, a memorial has been set up in the middle of the blast zone where this missile hit yesterday. we are in a playground where most of the bodies were recovered and, eerily, the swings and the slide are still standing. and hroza is a tiny settlement. it feels very strange to be stood in such destruction in somewhere so small. you can see vehicles have been caved

in by the sheer force of the blast. and such is the power generated, it's not immediately obvious what was hit. a lot of the debris has been cleared away to the side. you can see a fridge, you can see air—conditioning units, twisted metal, all these signature signs of a missile strike. and then here, you have the building that was directly hit — a cafe/shop where a funeral wake was taking place yesterday for a ukrainian soldier. now, as far as the prosecutor for this area is concerned, it was a deliberate attack by moscow. the use of a ballistic missile — these iskander missiles, which are fairly accurate — reinforces that claim, but for now, you just have a scene like this in village of 300, where 51 people have been killed. and it impacts everyone here. it goes far beyond this scene of devastation where, once again, we see civilian areas, civilians themselves targeted by russian missiles.

and there's debris like this dotted around, and you can tell it's from a missile because it's heavy, it is dense metal. it's quite a sight for a village so small. earlier, i spoke with security analyst maria avdeeva and asked her what this most recent attack means for ukraine. everyone who i know is shocked, not only in kharkiv, but everywhere in ukraine about the brutality of this attack. about the fact that people gathered there for the funeral of the soldier who died, he was killed in the fighting before in the early days of the war. so all this is just shocking for everyone here in ukraine and people are morning for the villagers of hroza and for those

who were killed in today's attack on kharkiv. , , ., . , kharkiv. president zelensky touchers toda about kharkiv. president zelensky touchers today about the _ kharkiv. president zelensky touchers today about the brutality _ kharkiv. president zelensky touchers today about the brutality of - kharkiv. president zelensky touchers today about the brutality of the - today about the brutality of the strike, how crucial is it that the international community doesn't become numb to this sort of thing, given that we are into the second year of this?— year of this? well, the word for this is russian _ year of this? well, the word for this is russian impunity. - year of this? well, the word for this is russian impunity. the i this is russian impunity. the international community is always talking about not provoking a putin, but what is it if it is not russian provocation? another russian war crime which will go unpunished. and this is why ukraine want solidarity and unity from everyone in the world, to show russia that this is not going to happen for ukraine and that all the world is together, united in the fight against russian aggression. united in the fight against russian an uression. , ., , united in the fight against russian anression. , ., ., , aggression. does it worry you, does it worry people _ aggression. does it worry you, does it worry people around _ aggression. does it worry you, does it worry people around you, - aggression. does it worry you, does it worry people around you, they - it worry people around you, they watch events perhaps going on in washington? it is said that perhaps one of the theories is that the long game for putin is to hope that trump

gets incommode that there is division within the west, exactly the sort of thing that happened with syria —— gets in and that. people concerned about that sort of scenario?— concerned about that sort of scenario? , , ., . scenario? yes, people are concerned that ukraine — scenario? yes, people are concerned that ukraine will _ scenario? yes, people are concerned that ukraine will not _ scenario? yes, people are concerned that ukraine will not get _ scenario? yes, people are concerned that ukraine will not get enough - that ukraine will not get enough weapons to push russians out soon enough. because time is playing on russia's side and putin knows it perfectly well. a really interesting development today. sweden says it will formally investigate whether it can send fighter jets investigate whether it can send fighterjets to ukraine. the announcement was made as part of a new package of military systems unveiled by the defence ministry worth about $200 million. thejets are able to land on ordinary roads and are designed specifically to thwart russian military defences. well, this is fascinating. with more on this lets speak to the bbc�*s europe regional editor, paul moss, in the newsroom. how has sweden ended up making this

offer, first? ~ ,, ., , offer, first? well, sweden has already been _ offer, first? well, sweden has already been very _ offer, first? well, sweden has already been very generous i offer, first? well, sweden has. already been very generous with offer, first? well, sweden has- already been very generous with its military assistance to ukraine, the package of measures unveiled today i think is the 11th or the 12 package of aid they have offered to ukraine. by of aid they have offered to ukraine. by the way, it doesn'tjust include the offer perhaps of these gripen planes, the offer today included lots of new ammunition for ukraine's artillery. but despite this generosity, president zelensky clearly had one thing in mind. he went to stockholm in august and made a speech at a press conference where almost directly to the swedish people, he said, please give us your gripen fighterjets. if people, he said, please give us your gripen fighter jets. if you people, he said, please give us your gripen fighterjets. if you do, he said, they will make our country's security much, much stronger. a very explicit mention of a very particular piece of military kit. unusual for particular piece of military kit. unusualfor president particular piece of military kit. unusual for president zelensky in that respect. 50 unusual for president zelensky in that reaped-— unusual for president zelensky in that resect. , ., ., that respect. so tell us more about these jets- — that respect. so tell us more about these jets- l _ that respect. so tell us more about these jets. i mentioned _ that respect. so tell us more about these jets. i mentioned where - that respect. so tell us more about these jets. i mentioned where they can land and take off. is that part of the reason why ukraine is so keen

on actually having this particular piece of military hardware? it is piece of military hardware? it is very important- _ piece of military hardware? it is very important. as _ piece of military hardware? it 3 very important. as you said, the gripen can take of a land far more easily than the more famous f—16. the gripen can take off and land on an ordinary road. this is why it's important for ukraine, what it means you don't have to have all your fighter planes parked, exposed at a particular airfield. there have been other conflicts, notably the 1960 76 war between israel and arab countries where they managed to destroy entire air force fleets because those planes were on the ground in one airfield. and the fear has a ways been or someone could send a dozen f—16s to ukraine, there they are sitting on an airstrip, one big attack by russia and they are destroyed. if you're planes can land and take off on ordinary roads, you can disperse them around the country, very easily disguise them ready for them to emerge unexpected and attack russia or defend ukraine where necessary. the other thing is

that the gripen was designed specifically with russian defences in mind and specifically with learning how to evade them. in particular, they are very good at evading russian surface—to—air missiles, if you can imagine an aircraft designed with that very bespoke purpose and now obviously extremely useful to ukraine as russia has invaded it. it is extremely useful to ukraine as russia has invaded it. it is really interesting. _ russia has invaded it. it is really interesting, what _ russia has invaded it. it is really interesting, what is _ russia has invaded it. it is really interesting, what is the - russia has invaded it. it is really interesting, what is the sort - russia has invaded it. it is really interesting, what is the sort of l interesting, what is the sort of timeline we are talking about? because of course, when aircraft and jets have been talked about previously, the frustration for ukrainians, it is still a way away from happening. find ukrainians, it is still a way away from happening-— ukrainians, it is still a way away from happening. and i think they will have to _ from happening. and i think they will have to be _ from happening. and i think they will have to be patient _ from happening. and i think they will have to be patient on - from happening. and i think they will have to be patient on this - will have to be patient on this occasion as well. first, what has happened today is that the defence minister of sweden has formally announced he will ask the armed forces about the practicality of offering these gripen jets to ukraine. what that means i think it's partlyjust ukraine. what that means i think it's partly just assessing ukraine. what that means i think it's partlyjust assessing whether sweden has enough of those fighter jets to spare at a time when global tensions are high. it is thought that will take about a month and the

armed forces will then come back to the defence minister and pap segment yes, we can spare the aircraft. but this is a crucial issue, sweden has said it would only offer those aircraft as part of being a member of nato. sweden oh, as people may know, has been formally accepted by nato, but it has that decision still to be ratified by turkey which has been to say the least dragging its feet over it. at times, recep tayyip erdogan has said, we will approve swedish membership, but it has not happened yet. sweden is still hoping that will happen this autumn, but that will happen this autumn, but thatis that will happen this autumn, but that is far from certain. that will happen this autumn, but that is farfrom certain. at that will happen this autumn, but that is far from certain. at that point, sweden can put the action on to get started with the process of preparing these aircraft to export to ukraine. then making sure the ukrainian pilots are trained to use them as efficiently as possible. so yes, i think sweden can put the action on to get started with the process of preparing these aircraft to export ukraine. then process of preparing these aircraft to export ukraine.— process of preparing these aircraft to export ukraine. then making sure the ukrainian — to export ukraine. then making sure the ukrainian pilots _ to export ukraine. then making sure the ukrainian pilots are _ to export ukraine. then making sure the ukrainian pilots are trained - to export ukraine. then making sure the ukrainian pilots are trained to i the ukrainian pilots are trained to use them as efficiently as possible.

so yes, i think sweden, ukraine, surrey, will have to be patient. it really is an interesting development. —— i think ukraine. the french government is battling to contain a bout of nationwide panic over bedbugs in paris, just nine months before the capital hosts next summer's olympic games. government officials have been holding an emergency meeting to work out how to tackle the bugs — whose infestations have gone viral on social media and fill the airtime of television talkshows. live now to paris and our correspondent hugh schofield. notjust not just social media notjust social media and talk shows, i am notjust social media and talk shows, iam reading notjust social media and talk shows, i am reading that one politician took a vial of these bedbugs into parliament, there is real concern, isn't there? yes. real concern, isn't there? yes, there is, _ real concern, isn't there? yes, there is. but— real concern, isn't there? yes, there is, but we _ real concern, isn't there? yes, there is, but we have - real concern, isn't there? yes, there is, but we have to i real concern, isn't there? yes, there is, but we have to all- real concern, isn't there? yes, j there is, but we have to all the time make sure we don't exaggerate the reporting of this story. there is a phenomenon, there is a wave, as there is every year, and it is this time a bigger wave this year than last year and last year's was bigger than the year before because all around the world, the phenomenon of

bedbugs is on the rise. but i think thatis bedbugs is on the rise. but i think that is combined here with something which is different and you and that is the social media phenomenon, everyone taking photographs of things they fear may be bedbugs, sometimes they are and sometimes they are not, and it has become a viral thing. and that has moved into new dimensions and all sorts of things have been said and feared today which are pretty groundless. but one says that anyone adds that there is still a phenomenon of increasing bedbugs presence and sightings and people are right to be concerned. pail sightings and people are right to be concerned. �* , ., , ., concerned. all sorts of unpleasant -ictures concerned. all sorts of unpleasant pictures on _ concerned. all sorts of unpleasant pictures on the — concerned. all sorts of unpleasant pictures on the screen _ concerned. all sorts of unpleasant pictures on the screen as - concerned. all sorts of unpleasant pictures on the screen as you i concerned. all sorts of unpleasant pictures on the screen as you are l pictures on the screen as you are talking. but in terms of the official response and what they are actually doing about it, take me through that. actually doing about it, take me through that-— actually doing about it, take me throu:hthat. �* ., , ., through that. again, they are caught in this trying — through that. again, they are caught in this trying to _ through that. again, they are caught in this trying to tread _ through that. again, they are caught in this trying to tread a _ through that. again, they are caught in this trying to tread a very - through that. again, they are caught in this trying to tread a very fine i in this trying to tread a very fine line between reassuring people and saying, look, a lot of this isjust hype and hysteria and really, there is nothing to be overly scared about. and on the other hand, a

that is enough to cause some problems so the met office have issued and the weather warning for the risk of some flooding and disruption to travel, power networks as well across this zone. all that wet weather is due to this frontal system which is going to be really slow moving into the weekend, especially so on saturday. we have high pressure further south. through the rest of this evening and overnight, we already have that front with us, it will be pushing further north so drying up for parts of northern ireland and northern england, but the rain becoming particularly persistent and heavy across central parts of scotland first thing tomorrow morning. reasonably mild for most of us especially towards the south with those overnight temperatures in the mid—teens. could be low cloud, mr murk around these irish sea coasts to start your saturday morning. but long spells of sunshine across england, wales and northern ireland. a bit of high cloud drifting around, hazy, but heavy rain across central parts of scotland, there is totals really mounting up. in the sunshine in the south, temperatures as high as 2425 degrees in one or two spots.

further north, conscious that aberdeen, just 9 degrees sitting under the cloud with the rain as well. so a very big contest or round in the weather through the weekend. for sunday, we still have the rain across scotland, it will slowly lift northwards, so gradually drying out for some central and western areas. best of the sunshine again will be further south and temperatures perhaps a degree down compared to saturday, 23 also for the woman spots, not quite as chilly across parts of scotland. into monday, that rain will clear away, cool northerly breeze across the north of scotland, but a dry day for most of us. areas of cloud drifting around, some hazy sunshine and temperatures generally in the mid—to—high teens in the north, but again, the mid 20s possible towards the south. that warm weather then holds on tuesday for someone than —— southern areas, but we see more showers from wednesday onwards as temperatures return to more typical for the time of year. goodbye.
