one of the big games is paris st. germain one of those is paris saint—germain who host newcastle united in the french capital. only two points separate the two sides in group f. newcastle manager eddie howe says, the game will be a defining moment for them. we need to play on the edge and every team is at their best when they have that different emotion running through them are going to need every ounce of motivation, energy to get a result and this is the defining moment of a champions league campaign and were going to give it everything. newcastle will be well represented in paris, with many

and for having one victory and travelling to support in paris. newcastle will be well represented in paris, with many fans already in the french capital. when both sides met at the start of the competition at stjames park, newcastle had a comfortable 41win. their fans will be hoping that they can repeat the same success. if we can get this, they will be laughing, be a good result and seeing what happens there's top yellow seeing what happens there's top ello ., , , yellow them to remember why we did it at st james — yellow them to remember why we did it at st james and _ yellow them to remember why we did it at st james and definitely _ yellow them to remember why we did it at st james and definitely can - it at st james and definitely can score _ it at st james and definitely can score calls against them and we will see. :: psg no doubt will be looking to turn their fortunes around when anything other than a victory all in their ambitions and for the european ambitions. barcelona will be taking

beaten tiger woods to the pga tour's prize for generating the most media interest in 2023. mciiroy was awarded 12 million pounds for winning the top spot on the tour's player impact programme. woods won it in the two previous years, despite his injury hit playing schedule. the award was introduced to reward players who generate the most interest in the pga tour, via a variety of different online platforms. seven time champion ronnie o'sullivan had to come from behind to reach the second round of the uk snooker championship. anthony mcgill made a brilliant start with a century break to take the opening frame and then going two clear. but that's as good as it got for the scot as ronnie roared back. it's 30 years to the day that he first won this title and he won six frames in a row to take the match. and three time championjohn higgins hit a break of 122 on his way to beating england'sjoe

o'connor by six frames to three. a big day is under way at the uk snooker championship, with 3 time and that's all the sport for now. now let's get back to our top story this hour. india is celebrating the rescue of all 41 construction workers, who'd been trapped inside a collapsed himalayan tunnel for seventeen days. this was the first worker to be brought out on a wheeled stretcher through an evacuation pipe pushed through the rubble. the men were greeted by officials overseeing the operation in the north of india. the workers who're mostly in their 20s are said to be in good health. they've been taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital for a full medical assessment. it follows a rescue operation lasting 400 hours, which has been plagued by setbacks including the repeated breakdown of drills. our reporter was watching as the workers emerged from the tunnel. slogans ofjoy

workers emerged from the tunnel. slogans of joy and workers emerged from the tunnel. slogans ofjoy and jubilation and a nation breathing a sigh of relief, these are what they saw when these construction workers, all 41 of them walked out safe and sound after 17 days of being trapped inside there. a huge moment for a country that has been holding its breath for the longest time, waiting for the good news of these people emerging safely from the sternal, there are unanswered questions and why did this happen in the first place in many investigations to look into the causes of this collapse, is caving in of the tunnel and that is something that the government will be questioned on in the days ahead but everyone here in this village which is been the ground zero for this risky operation that is been on day and night is breathing a sigh of

relief as long and arduous and painful wait for workers to safely emerge from here have not been taken to their homes is finally over and the predictive facilities where they're on, theirjourneys can begin for their homes, and all parts of the country. they will wait for them to come back. does raise serious questions about the safety of the indian construction industry. i the safety of the indian construction industry. i am glad this incident _ construction industry. i am glad this incident has _ construction industry. i am glad this incident has a _ construction industry. i am glad this incident has a happy - construction industry. i am glad | this incident has a happy ending, construction industry. i am glad i this incident has a happy ending, i wish i _ this incident has a happy ending, i wish i could — this incident has a happy ending, i wish i could say the same for other construction— wish i could say the same for other construction related incidents happening in india. the fatality

the impact of this flaring on air quality not only for people who live nearby, but also for people who live hundreds of kilometres away. the scientists gathered public available data provided by world bank on flaring volumes, and they used peer reviewed studies on the concentration of pollutants in the flares. and they have also looked into weather conditions, including wind patterns, so we could reveal the hidden impact of these flares on the health of millions of people. these flares and these pollutants can lead to can lead or worsen respiratory diseases, including asthma, heart and lung diseases and even cancer. now, we're only a couple of days away from cop 28. this man will be a central figure. he is the head of the abu dhabi national oil company. now, what has he been saying about all of this? while his company, adnoc abu dhabi national oil company, said that they are committed to eliminating routine gas flaring by 2030, and they said that they are

also flaring at a lower rate than the global average. but in fact, from analysing satellite data, we found out that, first of all, adnoc hasn't reduced flaring, but at actually increased flaring in at least three sites in the sea. and these satellite images are taking taken to one of these adnoc sites. and the uae in general hasn't also reduced its flaring over the past decade. and these flares are travelling all the way to dubai and abu dhabi, potentially putting at risk the health of millions of people who live there, as well as millions of tourists who visit this country. heba, thanks for taking me through all of that. now, that investigation, it's already available on the bbc iplayer. it's also available on the bbc youtube channels. do head and have a look at that. a lot of fascinating

extraterrestrial material. i think it's beyond our wildest dreams. it's an incredibly beautiful rock. it's very, very black, but with some tiny, little white bits in as well. and we found that each little grain looks a bit different to the other grains. so it's going to keep us busy for years trying to figure it all out. the sample comes from this, a 500—metre wide space rock called bennu. it was collected by a nasa spacecraft in a smash and grab manoeuvere and packed into a capsule to bring it back home. after landing in the utah desert, it was quickly secured. now the dust inside is being distributed to scientists around the world. it's incredible to see this material up close, grabbed from an asteroid hundreds of millions of miles away. now, there isn't much in here, just a few milligrams. but for scientists this is a treasure trove. every single tiny grain will be analysed and the hope is they could answer some of the biggest questions we have

about our solar system. the ultra close—up view of this single speck provides a map of the minerals and elements within the rock. and this is vital because bennu is a relic from the early solar system and scientists are finding its rich in carbon and water. we know that we have water here on the earth. how did it get here? and so we think things like bennu could have potentially brought that water. and so we're going to study the water in bennu to see if it's similar to the water we have on the earth. and if we find similarities, that gives us a really good idea that asteroids like bennu were helping to deliver at least some of the water to the earth when it was just starting out four—and—a—half—billion years ago. the material that's here is being shared with some universities around the uk. so expect a slew of discoveries and some out—of—this—world surprises along the way. rebecca morelle, bbc news. christmas has arrived at the white house. the first ladyjill biden unveiled

this year's decorations on monday. the theme for 2023 is "magic, wonder and joy. "it's inspired by how children experience the holiday season. the decorations include 98 trees throughout the white house, over 33,000 ornaments, and 72 wreaths. it took more than 300 volunteers from across the country a week to decorate the rooms and corridors. stay with us here on bbc news. hello again. we had more sunshine around today, but it's getting cold very quickly now where we have those clear skies. it feels cold enough already, but the next few days are going to get even colder, more frost around, few wintry showers. but for many places, the next few days are going to be dry. colder air, though, is coming down from scandinavia and it follows this weatherfront here, which is moving its way southward, bringing some showers. but it's across northern scotland and also across some north—eastern parts of england, away from the coast that we're going to see some snow and icy conditions. maybe up to five centimeters over higher routes in northern scotland, a centimetre or two in the far north—east of england.

a few showers moving southwards across other parts of england and wales, these are of rain. those keep it cloudy across the far south and south—west. so here temperatures mayjust remain above freezing by the end of the night, but elsewhere it looks like it's going to be frosty and temperatures could be as low as minus seven or so in some parts of scotland. those showers in the south—west will tend to fade away, the cloud slowly tending to break up. but the showers, i think, will continue in northern scotland running down these north sea coast. and again, there will be of a wintry flavour. snow mainly over the hills i thinkover northern scotland. but away from here a lot of dry weather, more in the way of sunshine, again. it's going to be colder than it was today too in glasgow, only four degrees maximum in birmingham. into that cold air there is this area of low pressure here. now, again, it looks like it isjust steering to the south of the uk, but it's getting close and we will see some rain through the english channel. there is a risk of some snow perhaps over dartmoor, but it looks like it is mostly rain. essentially, we're still

in that colder air. a few more wintry showers there coming in to the north—east on that breeze, but the winds are quite light. for many after a frosty start, it will be dry once again. and again, it's going to be cold temperatures three or four, maybe five degrees. and that's a bit colder than we'd expect at this time of the year. this is the temperature anomaly chart full of blue there across the uk. colder than average, colder than average across much of europe. and that's where we're going to see most of the snow. there won't be too much of that here in the uk, but for the first few days of december we're still in colder air, frosty by night, mostly sunny by day. just a few wintry showers here and there.
