today at one — good news for rail passengers as members of the rmt union end their long—running pay dispute, for now at least. they've voted to accept a backdated pay rise which will mean no more strike action until the spring at the earliest. but another rail union aslef is pressing ahead with more industrial action. also on the programme this lunchtime. the former labour chancellor alistair darling has died at the age of 70. matt hancock tells the covid inquiry that as health secretary he tried to wake up whitehall to the threat of the pandemic. this year was the hottest on record according to the united nations, as world leaders gather in dubai for talks on climate change. and a last chance to see the uk's only giant pandas before they go back to china after 12 years

at edinburgh zoo. and coming up on bbc news... manchester united's champions league hopes in the balance, with �*keeper onana in the spotlight after letting their lead slip at galatasaray. good afternoon. rail strikes by the rmt union are over for now. its members have voted to accept a pay deal, to end their year—long dispute over pay, jobs and working conditions. they will get a backdated pay rise of 5%. it means the end of the union's mandate for more strikes until at least next spring. but another rail union aslef is pressing ahead with more industrial action starting tomorrow. here's our transport correspondent katy austin.

it's been nearly a year—and—a—half since the long—running series of strikes on the railway began. commuters like these in west sussex have had to get used to it. if you want to go to work instead of being stuck at home, yeah, it disrupts normal everyday life 100%. i don't understand why there's so many. i haven't been able to go into work as frequently as i otherwise would do. i understand why the unions have been striking and i've supported them throughout. today's news means the end of rmt walk—outs, for now at least. in march, maintenance workers and signallers accepted a deal, but thousands of other union members who work for the companies which run the trains continued strikes. they have now accepted proposals involving a backdated pay rise for last year of 5%, more for the lowest paid, and job security guarantees, but a pay rise for the current

financial year will still depend on agreeing changes to ways of working that the government and industry say are needed. discussions on that will continue next year with individual operators. we will renegotiate in the new year in the spring time and we will see what the companies want to pursue, so it's a pause, a respite, but it's not, we're not celebrating this — it's another step forward in the progress. there hasn't been the same progress in the train drivers�* dispute. they are in a different union, aslef. ideas with me now. so i it is a mixed picture for passengers? yes. mixed picture for passengers? yes, and what peeple — mixed picture for passengers? yes, and what people need _ mixed picture for passengers? 13:3 and what people need to know now is that tomorrow is the start of a nine—day overtime ban by train drivers in the aslef union and also from this saturday until next friday there are rolling strikes on

different operators each day, so people will need to check before travelling. aslef previously rejected an offer which the industry says would take average driver wages to £65,000 a year. both sides say they want to get to an agreement, they want to get to an agreement, they want to get to an agreement, they want to get background the table but they still seem very far apart at the moment. kat? table but they still seem very far apart at the moment. katy austin, our transmrt _ apart at the moment. katy austin, our transport correspondent, - apart at the moment. katy austin, our transport correspondent, with | our transport correspondent, with the latest, thank you. the former health secretary matt hancock has told the covid inquiry that he tried to wake up whitehall in the early stages of the pandemic in 2020. he defended himself and his department against criticism from previous witnesses and blamed what he called a toxic culture within government at the time as seeing anything that went wrong

as intentionalfailure. 0ur correspondent ellie price is at the inquiry. ben, i think it gives you a sense of the strength of feeling against matt hancock, i can show you the protesters in the background, who have not been here every day but certainly today felt the need to come out and express their views, their criticism format and clock, something of which we heard plenty about in the inquiry today. matt hancock i think used this as an opportunity to defend his record, he was very defensive in his tone. he started out by expanding that he thought his department had risen to the challenge at the start of the pandemic, despite all that criticism we have already heard. and he said that it was actually up to his department to try and wake up whitehall to the dangers of the pandemic. he also talked about an unpleasant, toxic culture at the very centre of government, again, something we have heard an awful lot about, about how the personalities

were working with the prime minister, with senior civil servants, but he said that had the effect of really putting off departments like his from actually doing the right thing, he said often mistakes that were made were seen as intentional, rather than just simple mistakes. i think the other point to bring to he was this idea that he said his single biggest regret had been not pushing on this idea that asymptomatic people, people without covid symptoms, could spread the disease, and he said he should have overridden scientific advice at the time to try and formulate more policy on that. so i think, significant moments here at the inquiry, he is due to give more evidence this afternoon. ellie price, thank _ evidence this afternoon. ellie price, thank you _ evidence this afternoon. ellie price, thank you very - evidence this afternoon. ellie price, thank you very much, l evidence this afternoon. ellie price, thank you very much, at the covid inquiry. in the last few minutes it's been announced that the former labour chancellor alistair darling has died. he was aged 70.

he served in the cabinet for 13 years and helped steer the uk through the financial crisis in 2008. 0ur political correspondent leila nathoo is in westminster. leila, how will he be remembered? someone identified very closely with the labour, he had been a cabinet ministerfor many years in the labour, he had been a cabinet minister for many years in the labour government, but he will be before his role between 2007 and 2010, as chancellor under gordon brown, when the uk economy, he had to steer the economy through the global financial crisis, of course, the bailout of rbs, the collapse of northern rock, a hugely turbulent time for the northern rock, a hugely turbulent time forthe uk, northern rock, a hugely turbulent time for the uk, and northern rock, a hugely turbulent time forthe uk, and he northern rock, a hugely turbulent time for the uk, and he was at the helm in the treasury during that time. but his family this morning released, well, in the last few minutes, released a statement announcing his death, saying that he had died after a short spell at the western general hospital, under the wonderful care of the cancer team,

so, his family confirming in the last few minutes that alistair darling had been suffering from cancer and died at the age of 70 after a short illness. we have also had a trip from sir keir starmer, the labour leader, who has described the labour leader, who has described the loss to the labour party as immeasurable, paying tribute to his family and describing alistair darling as having a life devoted to public service, and mentioning his time at the helm and guiding britain through, in the words of keir starmer, the tumult of the global financial crisis. he also of course became a leading voice in the campaign to keep scotland as part of the uk during the independence referendum, that was after his time in government, he left the commons in government, he left the commons in 2015 beforejoining in government, he left the commons in 2015 before joining the house of lords, so, a huge figure within new labour, an experienced cabinet minister and of course the chancellor under gordon brown during the financial crisis, the very sad

news that alistair darling has died at the age of 70.— at the age of 70. leila, thank you very much- _ israeli police say palestinian gunmen have shot dead three people injerusalem. they say the two attackers opened fire at a bus stop during the morning rush hour and were then killed by off—duty israeli soldiers and an armed civilian. it comes as the ceasefire in gaza between israel and hamas has been extended into a seventh day. hamas is designated as a terror group by the uk government. hugo bachega reports. half past seven in the morning in jerusalem. as people head to work, two gunmen get out of this white car and open fire. an off duty soldier in a red card response, shooting at the attackers. this was found inside their car. the attack happened in their car. the attack happened in the morning rush—hour of this busy road, one of the entrances to

germany put in $100 million, the uk put in £6 million, the us searched around the back of the sofa and found £17.5 million, so, joking apart, there is real money being put into a fund that developing countries have argued for, for years, so, already here in dubai, there are significant developments on tackling climate change. justin brown for us in dubai, thank you very much. the time is 13.15. our top story this afternoon. members of the rmt union end their long—running pay dispute — meaning no more strike action until the spring at the earliest. but until the spring at the earliest. the aslef rail union tech but the aslef rail union is still tech to take industrial action in the coming days. and coming up... the author of a controversial book on the royal family speaks out after copies are taken out of book shops in the netherlands. coming up on bbc news — ronnie 0'sullivan is in second round action at the uk snooker championship.

the world number one is up against robert milkins for a place the cost of living crisis seems to be pushing more people to borrow from loan sharks. the organisation which prosecutes loan sharks says that this year it's supported more than twice the number of victims compared to last year. england's illegal money lending team says more people are borrowing small amounts from loan sharks. 0ur cost of living correspondent colletta smith has been hearing from one father from the west midlands, who got caught in the debt trap. like so many people, anthony grew up in a home where it was normal to borrow cash from a doorstep lender. did it feel like he was a friend? yeah. it felt like he was a family friend. i've always had pretty decent credit. like, i've had cars and stuff. it was just a convenient thing at the time that helped us out. you'd never think of anthony

as vulnerable, he can more than stand up for himself. but those loans from a friend soon became a trap. always something comes up, especially when you have kids. christmas was the biggest one. like, you want your kids to have a good life, go on holidays and things like that, and make memories with kids. if someone's standing there, "here's a big wad of cash," then you're going to do it. how much do you reckon you paid back over the years then? 0ver ten grand, easily. and anthony isn't the only one. the team prosecuting loan sharks in england have had a very busy year and it's notjust people with poor credit ratings that need the money. over 30% of the victims last year hadn't been refused credit from somewhere, it was just this was what they did, this is how it was done in their estate, or it was someone at the school gates who was lending money, so that's what they did. it was just handy. yeah, absolutely, no paperwork, instant cash. but fast money soon becomes a trap.

no, you can't shut the door and if you've got 150 whatsapp messages coming through a day and they are threatening to name and shame you on social media as a bad debtor, which means your parents will see that and your employer will see that and your neighbours will see that, that has a massive impact on people. it's bullying, basically, by another name. itjust happens to be attached to money. if i borrowed £100, i had to pay back £160 or £170. he knew when i got paid, he knew the date because it was always a fixed date and he turned up like clockwork at my house when my wife was home alone saying sleazy stuff to her, like, there are other ways you can pay it off. having borrowed so much, anthony felt there was no way out but to keep paying. it's not illegal to lend money to a friend, but it is illegal to lend lots of people money, to charge interest, often with no paperwork. if you've borrowed from someone the important thing to remember is that you're a victim. it's the loan shark who's committed the crime. anthony's lender has now been convicted and this christmas

is going to be very different. how are you going to manage as a family this year, do you think? we've saved throughout the year. we're a lot happier now we are skint. so it's just you live within your means, that's the best advice i can give anyone. if you haven't got the money to do it, don't do it. colletta smith, bbc news. he was a towering yet deeply controversial figure, one of the best known statesmen of the 20th century. henry kissinger, the former us secretary of state, has died at the age of 100. he advised a dozen presidents and pioneered the concept of shuttle diplomacy. in the 1970s he reached out to china and won the nobel peace prize for helping to negotiate an end to the vietnam war. but critics have also claimed he propped up friendly dictatorships and have accused him of war crimes. james landale reports.

thank you for being here. to some, henry kissinger was one of the cold war�*s most influential statesmen. the former us president george bush said america had lost one of its most dependable and distinctive voices on foreign affairs. ..henry kissinger for war crimes... to others he was a war criminal whose ruthless defence of american interests cost thousands of lives. he was born heinz kissinger in germany. his jewish family fled the nazis for america in 1938, but the young henry, as he became, returned to europe fighting with the us army. in peace time the soldier became a scholar at harvard university. today, i'm pleased to announce the first appointment of the white house staff... it was president nixon who brought him into government, first as national security advisor, then secretary of state. kissinger drove america's re—engagement with communist china, paying secret visits to its leaders, paving the way for an historic first visit by a us president in 1972.

today, china's foreign affairs spokesman said kissinger had been a good old friend of the chinese people. he sought to improve relations with the soviet union through negotiations about trade and arms control, and in the middle east he coined a new phrase, "shuttle diplomacy", as he flew between capitals to try to constrain arab—israeli conflict. his belief was in real politic — the idea that national self—interest trumped human rights or shared values. no nation can make its survival dependent on the goodwill of another state. all this brought him some global celebrity. i don't stand on protocol, if you'lljust call me excellency. but kissinger�*s fame became notoriety as he struggled to end america's involvement in the vietnam war by bombing cambodia at a cost of many thousands of lives. his critics accused him of war

crimes, his supporters welcomed a nobel peace prize. he was criticised too for supporting authoritarian anti—communist leaders such as general pinochet in chile. i shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. kissinger was considered so indispensable he survived the watergate crisis and was kept on by gerald ford. thus henry kissinger, a scholar and a statesman, and to some a ruthless a cynic. above all, a diplomat, always ready to talk. henry kissinger, who's died at the age of 100. the author of a controversial new book on the royal family, 0mid scobie, has denied naming in his manuscript two members of the royal family who allegedly talked about the skin colour of the duke and duchess of sussex's first child. the dutch edition of the book has been withdrawn by the publishers after apparently containing the names.

the reality is though is that this is information that is not privyjust to me. journalists across fleet street know, have known those names for a long time. i had never submitted a book that had their names in it, so i can only talk about my version. yeah. i'm obviously frustrated. eoghan woods go be talking today. let's speak to our royal correspondentjonny dymond who is merely —— with me. all rather confusing. any response from buckingham palace?- confusing. any response from buckingham palace? silence from buckingham _ buckingham palace? silence from buckingham palace. _ buckingham palace? silence from buckingham palace. no _ buckingham palace? silence from buckingham palace. no surprise. | buckingham palace? silence from - buckingham palace. no surprise. this was an explosive allegation when meghan made in 2021 in an interview with 0prah meghan made in 2021 in an interview with oprah winfrey. the late queen said, recollections may vary, politely casting doubt on meghan�*s version. it's been a private family matter until this book. 0mits kobe,

who has pretty good contacts with harry and meghan, says he didn't put the name into the english version of a book but somehow half a paragraph with the names turned up in the dutch version naming members of the royal family. dutch version naming members of the royalfamily. why dutch version naming members of the royal family. why hasn't the palace responded to it? partly because despite the fact its swelling around social media most broadcasters and newspapers are not publishing the names, partly because palace thinks it will add fuel to the fire if it gets involved and it insists this remains a private and family matter. jonny dymond, our royal correspondent. let's go back to the war between israel and hamas. the mother of two of the final child hostages still in gaza has spoken of her ordeal. 16 year old aisha and 18 year old bilal, both muslims from southern israel s bedouin community, remain in captivity after being taken with their father and older brother. 0ur correspondent anna foster reports from rahat, in the negev desert.

which makes her great fun to work with because she's always keeping us on our toes. for the past 12 years scotland has been the two giant pandas' home. visitors fascinated by these rock star bears, watching as they sleep and eat — bamboo, lots of it — 100 kilos between them every day. you have driven six hours to get here today. yeah. for your birthday? yeah. specially to see the pandas? yeah. they're lovely, aren't they? i've grown to love them because he loves them. i want to run in and grab one and just hug it. - panda hat. panda hat, yeah. panda fan? a little bit. every time we come to edinburgh, you know, it's, like, we've got to go to the zoo and see the pandas. and there's a huge number of panda fans online too. the panda cams soon to be switched off — a hit notjust here, but around the world. how serious are people who watch the pandas? 0h, people watch it 2a hours a day. we get phone calls to say, you know, yang guang

has not moved today, is he all right? i've not seen the keepers going in and feeding them at that time, and as i say, that's great, we have never ever minded that. we know that pandas are special. do you think some of the visitors might get a bit tearful? i absolutely think there will be lots of tears from people when they last see them and i can't guarantee that there won't be tears from some of my keepers when they wave them goodbye at the airport as well. the first panda crate. the pandas hit the headlines when they first arrived. but despite high hopes the edinburgh pairing never had a cub. the solitary animals only come into heat once a year. experts think tian tian might have conceived but never went full—term. it would be lovely to have had a panda cub, of course it would have been, but that isn't the be all and end all. these two individuals are wonderful characters and wonderful ambassadors for the species and so i think it's about engagement, it's about collaboration internationally, it's about conservation. and sadly our time with our giant pandas is very shortly drawing to a close.

the zoo says the pandas' welfare has always been their top priority and a keeper and a vet will be with them as they travel back to china. these box office bears were only ever on loan to scotland. this, a farewell we always knew was coming. lorna gordon, bbc news, edinburgh zoo. lorna joins us live from edinburgh zoo. as you say, they've been box office bears, so popular, people are really going to miss them. i office bears, so popular, people are really going to miss them.— really going to miss them. i think the are really going to miss them. i think they are step _ really going to miss them. i think they are stop it's _ really going to miss them. i think they are stop it's quite _ really going to miss them. i think they are stop it's quite a - really going to miss them. i think they are stop it's quite a subdued atmosphere at the zoo here today. 0fficials think thousands of people could well come up to the enclosure here to get one last glimpse of these two giant pandas. they are quite solitary creatures, they have separate enclosures, the one behind me as yang guang's enclosure, the male panda, they've put out fresh bamboo for him and he's been out a

couple of times today. we've also seen chan tien,
