but first our europe correspondent nick beake in athens tonight. what do people in greece make of the way this long running row has been reignited? if rishi sunak thought that by cancelling coffee and cake in downing street would cause nothing more than a diplomatic storm in a teacup, that is not how it is being perceived in athens, and one cabinet minister has told me that he was offended by the prime minister's actions and that all greeks were offended, every greek, and is only the people we have spoken to in the city share the same opinion, that the marbles should be coming home to these very place as soon as possible, but to the acropolis but to the museum that has been open for 14 to the museum that has been open for 1h years now in anticipation of the 1a years now in anticipation of the marbles coming home. standing here tonightjust across from marbles coming home. standing here tonight just across from what is marbles coming home. standing here tonightjust across from what is the cradle of modern democracy, what are we to make of this row between two

10:16 pm
no, i thought devastated covered it. a court has been hearing how a plan to kill the transgender teenager brianna ghey was found in the bedroom of one of the 16—year—olds accused of her murder. a girl and boy, who can't be named because of their ages, are alleged to have murdered brianna, stabbing her to death in a park near warrrington in cheshire earlier this year. they deny murder. judith moritz reports. though she was happy to pose for the camera, brianna ghey was an anxious child, who didn't normally go out on her own. in february, when she went to meet another teenager by herself, she texted her mum to say she was scared of getting the bus alone. her mum texted back to encourage her. but brianna would never return home. she went to this park near warrington where, the court has heard, two 15—year—olds had planned to murder her. because of their age, we can't identify them. depicted here in grey, the girl is known as x and the boy as y.
10:17 pm
opening the prosecution, deanna heer kc detailed text messages which the pair had sent each other the night before. x asked y, "what knife you bringing?" y told her he was bringing his hunting knife, saying, "i showed you in person as well as on the phone." x said, "yeah, i remember. and that will definitely 100% kill her?" y replied, "yes, it cuts my skin easily." he said x should bring a knife, if she wanted to stab brianna as well. x told why she was "excited as expletive for tomorrow". police later found by a handwritten plan for the murder, headed "victim — brianna ghey". brianna was stabbed 28 times, in the head, neck, heart and lungs. there were cuts to her arms and hands, where she tried to defend herself. the jury was told that the number and nature of brianna's injuries mean it's impossible that she was killed accidentally. deanna heer kc told them that she'd been the victim of a brutal, unlawful and deliberate attack, and that's not in dispute. the issue, she said,
10:18 pm
is not whether or not brianna was murdered, but whether these defendants participated in that murder. she said each of them accepts that they were present, but they both deny inflicting any injury, and each blames the other. plainly, she said, they can't both be telling the truth. after her death, vigils were held for brianna around the world. the court has heard that her gender identity fascinated the teenagers charged with her murder. they deny killing her. judith moritz, bbc news, manchester. for two and a half weeks, 41 men have been trapped in this tunnel in northern india. they'd been building a road when a landslip blocked the entrance and there was no way out. rescuers have worked tirelessly to reach them. and today came the breakthrough. there were smiles and celebrations
10:19 pm
as they got the men out one by one. samira hussain reports from the scene. this moment, more than two weeks in the making. 41 trapped workers finally rescued. cheering. an eruption of cheers from workers and onlookers. people sharing sweets and hugs. these are the ambulances with the first workers that have come out from inside the tunnel. 17 days, they have spent inside that tunnel and now they are finally out and in those ambulances. rescuers spent the last several days pushing an 800—millimetre pipe through 60 metres of rubble and debris. once through, the men were pulled out on wheeled stretchers, one by one. it's been a harrowing experience
10:20 pm
for the men inside and those working to get them out. and how do you feel? oh, after 12 days... he sobs chaudhary has been waiting for 1h days, watching the mouth of the tunnel, and waiting for this moment where he could kiss his son. translation: i am very happy. i'm 55 and i've seen life, but my son is very young and he has a long life. i want him to fight every storm in his long life. the rescue operation that gripped the country finally has its happy ending. samira hussain, bbc news, uttarakhand. an inquiry has found that a maintenance worker who sexually abused dead bodies in nhs mortuaries
10:21 pm
was able to do so because of "serious failings" at the hospitals where he worked. david fuller abused the bodies of at least 101 women and girls over a period of 15 years. the abuse was only discovered when fuller was arrested for the murder of two women. sanchia berg reports. december 2020, kent police, searching the home of david fuller, made it a disturbing discovery. it looks like he's got some hard drives in there, i would say. on these they found many thousands of images of him with deceased women and children. two years ago, he was convicted of of the 1987 murders of wendy knell and caroline pierce, and of sexually abusing bodies more recently in hospital mortuaries where he worked. today's report investigated how that could happen, over 15 years, with no one even raising concerns. fuller used this swipe card to visit the mortuary over
10:22 pm
400 times in 12 months. failures of management, of governance, of regulation, failure to follow standard policies and procedures, together with a persistent lack of curiosity, all contributed to the creation of an environment where he was able to offend. the first phase of sirjonathan michael's inquiry looked at what went wrong in the nhs trust in kent. the second phase will look at the nhs as a whole. what are the lessons about how to better protect the deceased? the report made 16 recommendations for maidstone and tunbridge wells nhs trust, including placing cctv cameras in the hospital mortuary. the trust said it would implement them all. the inquiry chair said if the hospital had respected its dead as it did living patients, this abuse could have been prevented. sanchia berg, bbc news.

a bbc investigation suggests that toxic pollutants released during gas flaring in the middle east are endangering millions more people than previously feared. flaring is the burning of waste gas during oil extraction. it is also being carried out by the united arab emirates, which is hosting the cop28 climate change summit that starts this week. the uae�*s national oil company is run by sultan al—jaber, president of the cop talks. it says it's committed to ending "routine flaring" but our analysis suggests it's still taking place on a daily basis. here's heba bitar. dubai, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world but the air quality here is one of the worst. this is often blamed on dust storms, but the bbc has found air pollution here is being made even worse by gas flaring.
10:24 pm
this is what gas flaring looks like in some other parts of the middle east. but in the uae, its hidden from the public, hundreds of kilometres away on rigs out at sea. exclusive scientific research for bbc arabic indicates that toxic pollutants from these oil and gas sites are being carried by winds, potentially impacting the health of millions of people in dubai and abu dhabi. this type of pollution can cause or worsen respiratory and heart diseases, cancer and a range of other illnesses. we spoke to a patient with severe asthma who lives in abu dhabi. she spoke to us anonymously because here any criticism can result in a heavyjail sentence. translation: shortness of breath is the most i uncomfortable symptom for me. you feel that the air is not pure, the air is heavy.
10:25 pm
the uae is gas flaring every day and bbc analysis of satellite data shows it hasn't reduced flaring over the past decade. but that's not the message the ceo of uae�*s biggest oil company, adnoc, who is also the cop28 president, wants the world to hear. i am very pleased to say that over 20 oil and gas companies have positively answered the call to step up and eliminate routine flaring by 2030. abu dhabi national oil company has a zero routine flaring policy. but the bbc has discovered it has actually increased flaring in at least three offshore oil and gas sites. adnoc says that across all their operations, they are focused on their goal of eliminating routine flaring by 2030. meanwhile, high levels of air pollution in the uae is still affecting people's health.
10:26 pm
i've never seen a cough and asthma as much as i've seen in the uae. i i was shocked that i all through the year, the pollution is very, very high. for the first time ever, this year's climate conference will have a day focusing on health. but will it address how the uae�*s own pollution is impacting its population? heba bitar, bbc news. and you can watch bbc arabic�*s investigation "breathless" on the bbc iplayer. a passenger plane has completed the first transatlantic flight powered entirely by sustainable aviation fuel. the fuel is made from a variety of sources, including crops, household waste and cooking oil. the plane has landed in new york after leaving heathrow earlier today. nasa managed to land a spacecraft on this asteroid and then brought rock and dust specimens
10:27 pm
back to earth. well, now some of those samples from the 11.5 billion—year—old asteroid have arrived here in the uk. and they could shed light on the origins of life on our own planet. here's our science editor, rebecca morelle. a piece of asteroid from deep space has finally arrived at london's natural history museum. we've separated out these little biggerfragments in our stones of interest. scientists here have been waiting years for the chance of a close—up look, and to get their gloved hands on this precious 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 a 500—metre—wide space rock called bennu. it was collected by a nasa
10:28 pm
spacecraft in a smash—and—grab manoeuvre, packed into a capsule and brought back to earth, landing in the utah desert. 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. within this sort of polished section, we have a tiny little particle that, when we look under this microscope, we can start to see all the information. the ultra close—up view provides a map of the minerals and elements within the rock. 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
10:29 pm
the water in bennu, 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 11.5 billion years ago. the uk has a teaspoon of material, but there might be more to come, because some of the space rock is stuck in the sample container at nasa ho. its screws are proving tricky to undo, so new tools are being developed to retrieve every last bit of bennu. the material that's here is being shared with uk universities, so expect a slew of discoveries and some out—of—this—world surprises along the way. rebecca morelle, bbc news. in the champions league, three british sides were in action tonight. our sport correspondent katie gornall was watching. last time out against psg, newcastle delivered a performance for the ages, but since october's a—1win, much has changed. newcastle have been decimated by injuries and early on their resistance was tested, and yet, as psg discovered,
