former olympic athlete oscar pistorius seeks early release from jail. the parents of his murdered girlfriend say they don't believe he's been rehabilitated. hopes are dashed for the imminent rescue of men trapped in an indian tunnel. a drilling equipment problem further delays efforts. good morning to you. lots of reaction in dublin this morning to events last night. ireland's police chief has said 3a people were arrested after hours of rioting in the irish capital on thursday night. the unrest came after a knife attack near a school in the city early on thursday, in which four people were injured. a five—year—old girl is in emergency care — detectives say they believe the attack was the work of one man, and was not terror—related. an arrest has been made. in the hours after news of that attack became known, groups gathered in the centre

of dublin, and began attacking buildings, and clashing with police. these pictures appear to show a store being looted. at least one bus was set on fire and other vehicles were burned and public transport services were damaged. riot police were deployed. speaking at a press conferrence this morning, police chief drew harris highlighted the unexpected nature of these riots which he blamed on a �*complete lunatic faction driven by far right ideology.�* we could not have anticipated that in response to a terrible crime, the stabbing of school children and their teacher, that this would be the response. in effect, those filled with hate and the hate directed towards members of an garda siochana, that they would attempt to storm through our cordon and disrupt the crime scene and then engage in violence, looting and disorder, including very significant

criminal damage. nobody could have anticipated that when these events started at 1:30, these awful events, and obviously we were concentrated upon the investigation, we couldn't have anticipated that this would be the reaction. live now to our correspondent in dublin sara girvin. we are waiting to hear from the irish prime minister, the taoiseach, leo varadkar. there has been a lot of reaction to this so far. take us through the reaction from the garda, this is an extremely complex and unexpected event last night. absolutely. the clean—up operation is still well under way. in fact, in some parts of the city the only evidence as to what happened last night... evidence as to what happened last niuht... . , evidence as to what happened last niuht... ., , night... sara girvin, can i interw— night... sara girvin, can i interrupt you _ night... sara girvin, can i interrupt you because - night... sara girvin, can ii interrupt you because the night... sara girvin, can i - interrupt you because the irish taoiseach is just about to start speaking? let's take a listen. each

attack brought _ speaking? let's take a listen. each attack brought shame _ speaking? let's take a listen. eacn attack brought shame to our speaking? let's take a listen. eam attack brought shame to our society and disgrace to those involved, and incredible pain to those caught up incredible pain to those caught up in the violence. as taoiseach i want to say to a nation that is unsettled and frayed, this is not who we are, this is not who we want to be and this is not who we want to be and this is not who we will ever be. yesterday afternoon innocent children were attacked in dublin city centre. it was a horrifying active guy violence and our thoughts are with the injured children, their heroic care assistant who threw himself in harm's way to protect them, and all those who risked their lives to save lives. they are real irish heroes, whatever their nationality, irish, british and italian. ourthoughts nationality, irish, british and italian. our thoughts also with the doctors and nurses in our city who are trying to save the lives of those who were injured. many of them come from abroad. and our and prayers are with a nation united

with shock. yesterday evening some people decided that the best way to respond to this terrible attack was to take to the streets of dublin and tried to terrify, intimidate, loot and destroy. the first reaction to a five—year—old child being stabbed was to burn our city, attack its businesses and assault our garden. as a result of their actions, buses and trams were set on fire, innocent passers—by were intimidated and pregnant women were made to feel unsafe and in danger. these people claim to be defending irish citizens, yet they put in danger of the newest and most vulnerable and innocent people. those involved brought shame on dublin, brought shame on ireland and brought shame on theirfamilies and shame on ireland and brought shame on their families and themselves. these criminals did not do what they did because they love ireland. they did because they love ireland. they did not do what they did because they wanted to protect irish people, they wanted to protect irish people,

they did not do it out of any sense of patriotism, however warped. they did so because they are filled with hate. they love violence, they love chaos and they love causing pain to others. looting a shop was more important to them than protecting the lives of our children and they disrupted a garda investigation that was under way. the gardai gained control of our streets last night within a few hours and they want to thank them for that and for the risks that they tuck. i want to pay tribute to our gardai, particularly those who answered the cool from all over the country who came to dublin within a few hours. —— the risks that they took. we need to take ireland away from the cowards who hide behind masks and tried terrify us with their violence. we need to reclaim ireland from the unscrupulous who play on the fears of those easily led into darkness and we need to reclaim ireland from the criminals who seek any excuse to

unleash horror on our streets. this morning as taoiseach, i promise we will use the full resources of the law, the full machinery of the state, to punish those involved in yesterday's grotesque events. and we will put in place measures to ensure that any repeated attempts will meet the full measure of the law. i spoke with the minister forjustice and the garda commissioner last night and met the garda commissioner this morning. we have sufficient gardai and there are more in training. we have sufficient equipment and there is more on the way. we have strong laws and the garda commissioner is free to use the public order act over the weekend as is required. we will pass new laws in the coming weeks to enable the gardai to make use of the cctv evidence they collected yesterday and also modernise our laws against incitement to hatred and hatred in general. and that is more required than ever was the case before and we

will do that in weeks as well. to all of those cowardly champions of ireland who took to the streets of dublin last night, let me say one thing, ask your sisters, ask your friends, ask everyone you know what they fear most on our streets. they are afraid of you, they are afraid of your anger and your rage, afraid of your anger and your rage, afraid of your anger and your rage, afraid of your violence, your hate and how you blame others for your problems. as a government we will be relentless in protecting our citizens as defending our people. the gardai will be on the streets in large numbers and will do whatever it takes to fight back waves of ignorance and commonality. the ministerforjustice ignorance and commonality. the minister forjustice will coordinate with the commissioner to ensure we never witnessed such terrible scenes

as the 23rd of november 2023 ever again. being irish means more than saluting the tricolour. beating our chests and pointing to where you were born. it means living up to the ideals represented by ourflag, it means being true to our own history and acting with compassion to others. and today i cool on us all who we really are, because we're better than this and it time we came together and reminded others who claim to speak for us about what our country really stands for. thank you. country really stands for. thank ou. y ., country really stands for. thank ou. , ., ., country really stands for. thank ou. ., . you. do you have confidence in the garda commissioner _ you. do you have confidence in the garda commissioner following - you. do you have confidence in the i garda commissioner following events last night— garda commissioner following events last night regarding _ garda commissioner following events last night regarding whether- garda commissioner following events last night regarding whether we - garda commissioner following events last night regarding whether we were| last night regarding whether we were adequately— last night regarding whether we were adequately prepared _ last night regarding whether we were adequately prepared and _ last night regarding whether we were adequately prepared and can - last night regarding whether we were adequately prepared and can you - last night regarding whether we were| adequately prepared and can you give us an update — adequately prepared and can you give us an update on— adequately prepared and can you give us an update on the _ adequately prepared and can you give us an update on the children - adequately prepared and can you give us an update on the children injured i us an update on the children injured in the _ us an update on the children injured in the stabbing _ us an update on the children injured in the stabbing attack _ us an update on the children injured in the stabbing attack yesterday, i in the stabbing attack yesterday, and separately— in the stabbing attack yesterday, and separately in— in the stabbing attack yesterday, and separately in relation- in the stabbing attack yesterday, and separately in relation to - and separately in relation to today's _ and separately in relation to today's conference, - and separately in relation to today's conference, what i and separately in relation to today's conference, what isl and separately in relation to i today's conference, what is the focus _ today's conference, what is the focus for — today's conference, what is the focus for you? _ today's conference, what is the focus for you? i— today's conference, what is the focus for you?— focus for you? i have total confidence _ focus for you? i have total confidence in _ focus for you? i have total i confidence in commissioner focus for you? i have total - confidence in commissioner harris and total confidence in the gardai, they have an extremely difficultjob to do last night and they did it.

they contained the riot, they brought the city back under control within a matter of hours and gardai travel from all over the country may call was put out to gardai who have the right training to come from all over the country, is gardai fighting back these folks got tired or got injured, they had other guards behind them to replace them and fill their shoes. behind them to replace them and fill theirshoes. i behind them to replace them and fill their shoes. i think obviously we'll have to a review as to what happened yesterday and all of the events leading up to it but over the next couple of days and weeks we need to be 100% behind the gardai. there has been no criticism of the gardai, only total support for the gardai and commissioner. in relation to the injuries, we have some details. as you know, five are injured in the

two in a critical condition still. both the five—year—old girl who was stabbed in the chest and also a care assistant who shielded, who used her body as a shield to prevent other children from being injured. they are both in a critical condition. the person who carried out this attack was intent on murder. that is clear. we don't know his motivations. the gardai have identified his dwelling, have his computer and have his phone. we will be able to assess that in the coming days so i don't want to speculate on motivations at this stage. it absolutely nothing is ruled out in that regard. i really want to thank the people on the street who intervened. it is hard to believe that this could have been worse but it could have been worse had they not done so. let's not forget that those who intervened were notjust

and i was in contact those involved throughout the evening and it was about bringing the situation under control, containing the violence to a number of streets and bringing the city under control and it was under control by midnight. this morning is different, it is about the clean—up and the response going forward. there were over 30 arrests and many of them will be in court this morning. but obviously more work will need to be done over the next couple of days, both in relation to the original attack and then also the original attack and then also the follow—on violence that occurred. the follow-on violence that occurred-— the follow-on violence that occurred. ,, , . ., occurred. studio: we will leave the ress occurred. studio: we will leave the press conference _ occurred. studio: we will leave the press conference there. _ occurred. studio: we will leave the press conference there. the - occurred. studio: we will leave the press conference there. the irish i press conference there. the irish prime minister leo varadkar. let's go straight to our correspondent sara girvin in dublin for us. take us through the main points from the prime minister and a reminder of what happened yesterday, really extraordinary events to which started with a horrific attack outside a school.— started with a horrific attack

outside a school. yes, they did. just outside a school. yes, they did. just listening — outside a school. yes, they did. just listening to _ outside a school. yes, they did. just listening to leo _ outside a school. yes, they did. just listening to leo varadkar'sl just listening to leo varadkar�*s words, very strong words, he talked about this is not who we are. i was struck by that because it kind of echo something the deputy prime minister micheal martin said within the last hour, he said he also echoed that phrase, what happened last night is not who we are, he said ireland has built a modern and inclusive society, something that he said is precious and leo varadkar also said that people who carried out the violence and the rioting last night love hate. that echoes what we heard from the garda commissioner drew harris this morning. ijust want commissioner drew harris this morning. i just want to take you through a bit of what he had to say. he gave us a lot of detail about the events of last night. what he described as a riotous mob he said tried to break in and disrupt the crime scenejust behind tried to break in and disrupt the crime scene just behind me after the stabbing. we know that three children were stabbed and the woman who believe i'd guess it was a care

assistant used her body as a human shield to try and protect the five—year—old girl. drew harris also said the people who carried out that violence last night were driven by a right—wing ideology. yesterday he called them a lunatic, hooligan function, so he was not mincing his words. he said they were filled with hate and he called them thugs, looters, arsonists, and said that last night's scenes were terrible. there were huge disruptions from the mob, he said. in terms of arrests there have been 3a arrests we know of so far and 32 people are due in court this morning because of what happened last night. more figures for you, 13 shops were damaged sitnikov different movie or a looted, drew harris said. we were here last night and we saw so many shop windows smashed in my glass everywhere, people running past us with trainer boxes from items they had stolen from the stores, we imagine. ii garda vehicles were destroyed in the three buses were destroyed in the three buses were destroyed and a tramp. i thought

what was he said there was a planned assumption within the garda that they will see further protests. and as we heard from leo varadkar the in terms of how everyone is doing, we know that the five—year—old girl and the woman in her 30s are still in a serious condition. so everyone's thoughts are very much with them. dublin city centre this morning trying its best to get back to normal. but the clean—up operation, the massive clean—up operation, is still under way. the massive clean-up operation, is still under way.— still under way. sara girvin in dublin, thank— still under way. sara girvin in dublin, thank you. _ still under way. sara girvin in dublin, thank you. the - still under way. sara girvin in dublin, thank you. the press| dublin, thank you. the press conference with the irish taoiseach is continuing and you can watch it live on the bbc news life page. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making the news today. the immigration minister robert jenrick is putting pressure on

downing street by putting forward his own plan to cut immigration to the uk. the ideas are not yet government policy but are believed to be being discussed. among the suggestions is a requirement of minimum annual salary of £35,000 to receive a work visa. former scottish first minister alex salmond has launched a fresh legal case against the scottish government. he took the government to court in 2019 over its handling of harassment complaints against him. he has already been awarded more than £500,000 from the case but there are new reports that he is seeking damages of £3 million. hundreds of amazon workers are on strike today on one of the busiest shopping days of the year, black friday. the gmb union says about 1000 workers havejoined friday. the gmb union says about 1000 workers have joined the strike in coventry. walk—outs are also planned across europe and the us over a pay dispute. unions say this is the biggest day of action in the

firm's history. you're live with bbc news. ambulances have been placed on standby in northern india as the operation to rescue 41 workers trapped by a tunnel collapse moves closer to what officials hope will be its final stage. the teams trying to reach the trapped group with a pipe wide enough for them to be say that about ten metres of rock are still separating them from safety. structure is fitted with wheels will be used to roll them out via the pipe once the rescuers break through. it was hoped the drilling would be finished on thursday the problems with the machinery have again delayed the rescue. our south asian correspondence samira hussain is at the scene of the rescue in uttarkashi in northern india. rescue operations have again hit a snag. it is the same issue they have faced before. when the machine is drilling through the debris inside

the mouth of the tunneljust behind me, they sometimes hit pieces of metal and mesh wires, and that is not something that the machines and get through. it requires people to go in by hand and take those pieces of metal down. so once that is done the drilling machine will then get up the drilling machine will then get up and running. when it does, officials here feel confident they will be able to reach the trapped men very soon, as long as they don't hit any more obstacles. but remember this is the third time a machine is broken down, and has resulted in several hours and days of delays. i think a lot of people here are taking that information with just a little grain of salt. it's also important to talk about the condition of the men inside the tunnel. they are still to be

reported in healthy condition, they are being provided with food, water and medicines and oxygen. officials continue to speak with them, making sure that not only are they physically healthy but their mental health is also important, too. they need to stay positive and be reassured that they are going to be rescued sometime soon. that reassured that they are going to be rescued sometime soon.— reassured that they are going to be rescued sometime soon. that was our south asia correspondent _ rescued sometime soon. that was our south asia correspondent samira - south asia correspondent samira hussain. the mother of reeva steenkamp, the woman murdered ten years ago by the former olympic runner oscar pistorius says she is not convinced he has been debilitated. pistorius is attending a parole hearing in the prison where he is serving 13 years for murder —— my it is considering his early release. in an impact statement which will be read to the parole board, june steenkamp said rehabilitation required a person to engage with the full truth of their

crime. at his trial the sprinter said he shot her through a toilet door at his home, mistaking herfor a robber. the car manufacturer nissan has confirmed it will invest up to £1.12 billion to produce new electric cars in the uk. the money, that's equivalent to $1.1; billion, will be invested at the company does make existing plant in sunderland. nissan says the deal should safeguard the future of the factory. the uk government is expected to provide substantial additional support. the project will include the construction of a gigafactory to supply batteries. the show of faith in the uk comes despite a recent u—turn from the prime minister pushing back the ban on selling new petrol and diesel cars by five years to 2035. you're watching bbc news. 20 years ago concorde took off for the last time from heathrow, arriving in bristol where it remains today.

john maguire has been looking back at the history of this famous droopy nosed airliner. swooping down like a giant white eagle, concorde 216 was home — touching down at filton for the very last time. the fleet was born here, and the last supersonic airliner to fly was now grounded. what other plane could stop traffic and draw thousands just to say they witnessed her final flight? it's fantastic. absolutely fantastic. so many people here, we just think it's brilliant — really, really... i'mjust shaking. it's like, oooh, this is... i'm just ecstatic! laughter. ohhh! that was the most magnificent sight! ohh! just absolutely glorious sight. oh, the nation's losing a treasure, i tell you — an absolute treasure! i'm going to pull back on the control column, pitching our nose up to around 18 degrees, nose up. we're airborne, so up comes the undercarriage... mike bannister is doing something he's done thousands of times before — piloting concorde from john f kennedy airport in new york, bound for heathrow. he captained the last transatlantic service. this is him addressing the passengers. the acceleration on the runway

is quite something to remember, as i'm sure will be the rest of the flight. no champagne today, though — we're taking off without leaving the ground, in the originalflight simulator, now based here at the brooklands museum in weybridge. this is rather like a sports car rather than a truck, or a thoroughbred racehorse rather than a riding school. i can fly her with my fingertips, which is what i'm doing now. the designers were absolute geniuses. they were able to make an aeroplane that could fly low enough and slow enough to go into any airport that a 7a7 can — and some that it can't — but twice the speed of sound — 1,350 miles an hour. upstairs is the original office of the aviation engineer sir barnes wallis, inventor of the dambusters bouncing bomb — another british engineering icon. and here to share their memories of working with the world's most famous aircraft are a former pilot, a flight attendant, and an air traffic controller.

it was the one cos you normally cleared an aircraft to a level, but with it, you just said climb and acceleration approved because you didn't know how high it was going to go. and there was nothing else up — you know, once you got above 40,000 feet. it was great fun. i think you would agree with that, paul. it was absolutely — it was a pleasure to go to work. sometimes things went wrong, the adrenalin went, and that made it even more fun. i don't know, we must have been crazy. i think every day was a good day, getting to fly concorde. - certainly for me, i would actually be very excited the night before i i was due to go to work — i didn't sleep that well i because it was such an exciting job. paul's wife tanya was also cabin crew. concorde was always romantic. if you were in the staff car park at the time that it took off or landed — which was two take—offs, two landings every day — everyone would stop and watch it. they'd just pause and it would just be... every single day, without fail. it just captured everyone's imagination right to the end.

this footage of the last flight caught both concorde and brunel suspension bridge in one awe—inspiring image. among the huge crowds doing all they could to secure a vantage point that day was rob bailey. "1990, happy 30th birthday." that's a nice touch. he'd flown on her for his wife's birthday, landed near her in his hot air balloon, but also had an encounter with her famous sonic boom while flying across the atlantic. bang! and, of course, it's the sonic boom — over the atlantic, _ concorde just puts its foot down and goes across. _ and in a balloon — _ a balloon's a very frail thing, it's a sort of gas like this. and the sonic wave hit it, - the impact, and it squashed it. it's like being in an - earthquake or something. all the pots and pans fell. on the floor and we jumped. one two, three, four, five... we heard you. hi, concorde. i think we just got a little bit of a bang from you! . we were scared. we were very scared. laughter after more than a quarter of a century of silver service,

concorde was grounded — first after a crash in paris, then ultimately by the reality of economics. whether it was her shape — like a child's paper aeroplane — her glamorous passengers, or the fact that she represented the very best in british innovation, concorde remains — even with her wheels grounded forever — still so beloved by so many. john maguire, bbc news, south gloucestershire. hard to believe it is 20 years, isn't it, since that last flight? now time for the weather with matt taylor. hello. some of us may have started on the mildish side this morning, but things are already changing out there. arctic air, the blue colours in here spreading to all parts of the uk during the rest of today. but notjust here, surging right the way through the heart of europe, down towards the mediterranean with some significant snow over the alps. and once that cold air is in place,

we're going to stay on the colder side of things through much of this week ahead. temperatures generally below normal and more regular night frosts to be expected as well. now the turn to colder weather today is because we've got a massive air is because we've got a massive area of low pressure to the east of us. high pressure to the west. and so northerly winds developing right across the country. early light rain or drizzle becoming confined towards the far southwest. still a bit more cloudier, still on the milder side of things to the end of the day. but for the rest of the country, more sunshine developing through this afternoon. showers quite frequent down the eastern coast where the winds will be strongest, 40, 50, maybe 60 mile an hour gusts. and that will have an impact on the way things feel. it is going to be a chilly afternoon. temperatures, in fact, for some in the south actually drop through the day rather than rise, many in mid single figures. add on the effects of the wind feeling closer to freezing across some parts of eastern scotland and northeast england. it will be a chilly afternoon. winds reamin brisk and a cold feel here as we go tonight, here as we go through tonight,

but temperatures actually not dropping away as much as it will do through central and western areas. ridge of high pressure building in winds for later tonight, one or two mist orfog patches. but the biggest story is just the widespread frost. these are city centre temperatures. in rural areas, particularly north west england and southern scotland, minus five or minus six to start saturday. but what a cracking day it will be for many of you. crisp, fresh start, lots of sunshine overhead. down the eastern coast of england, north and east scotland will still have some showers around, maybe a little bit wintry over the higher ground and still a brisk wind towards those north sea coasts. but away from that light, winds, sunshine, it'll feel pleasant, but it will be colder. temperatures for most in mid single figures. then another cold night as we go into saturday night. greater chance of mist and fog patches too and frost for a while. but temperatures rise in the west later as an air of low pressure, later as an area of low pressure, fairly small area of low pressure starts to push its way in. but it'll be enough to spread in cloud more widely. and after a chilly start, temperatures could struggle to rise for some best.

the sunshine in the north and east and the winds lighter here compared with saturday. but in the west, we'll start to see outbreaks of rain develop and further rain to come on sunday night.
