hello, i'm lucy hockings, welcome to bbc news now. three hours of fast—moving news, interviews and reaction. in what is supposed to be the final day of the cop28 climate conference, there's still no deal to tackle global warming. eleventh—hour talks are taking place after an earlier draft received a storm of criticism because it stopped short of calling for fossil fuels to be phased out. let's take a look at the initial draft. the draft omitted the "phase out" of fossil fuels many nations have demanded, drawing criticism from the united states, europe and climate—vulnerable countries. instead, the text lists various measures that countries could use to cut emissions to achieve net zero by or around 2050. lobbying by members of the oil producer group opec is thought to have influenced the negotiations.

in a measure of the challenge facing the talks, the us climate chief john kerry said, "i don't think anybody here wants to be associated with the failure to live up to this responsibility. "not a lot of people in public life are asked to make life and death choices historically. this is a war for survival." live now to carl nasman in dubai, where everyone is waiting on a new draft agreement. everyone is waiting and you get the feeling as if we are standing in the airport terminal and you look on the screens that list the different leavings and summits and press conferences that are supposed to be taking place, they are pretty much blank, all flights cancelled, everyone waiting for this next edition of potential draft documents to be released, since the mummy so last night which disappointed pretty much everybody involved. —— since the document was published last night. david, this is not yourfirst cop. you have seen plenty of these

go down. what you make of the situation going down that countries find themselves in right now? there is a sense of— find themselves in right now? there is a sense of profound _ find themselves in right now? there is a sense of profound shock- find themselves in right now? there is a sense of profound shock among many— is a sense of profound shock among many people here because there had been the _ many people here because there had been the expectation generated by the man— been the expectation generated by the man running this whole thing that this — the man running this whole thing that this would be historic and unprecedented. earlierversions that this would be historic and unprecedented. earlier versions of the final_ unprecedented. earlier versions of the final agreement seemed to suggest — the final agreement seemed to suggest that there would be something about phasing out fossil fuels, _ something about phasing out fossil fuels, which is what, in effect, the science _ fuels, which is what, in effect, the science catts — fuels, which is what, in effect, the science calls for if we want to avoid — science calls for if we want to avoid really dangerous rises in temperature. so when this latest draft _ temperature. so when this latest draft of— temperature. so when this latest draft of the final agreement dropped last night, it really sent reverberations through this place. in reverberations through this place. in fact, _ reverberations through this place. in fact, i_ reverberations through this place. in fact, i was at a panel discussion this morning — in fact, i was at a panel discussion this morning and people were openly in tears _ this morning and people were openly in tears i_ this morning and people were openly in tears. i note your last guest here _ in tears. i note your last guest here was— in tears. i note your last guest here was visibly moved. it is that sense _ here was visibly moved. it is that sense of— here was visibly moved. it is that sense of having been led up the garden — sense of having been led up the garden path in one direction, raised

trucks across into gaza. there have been explosions there overnight. that has killed at least 12 people in rafah, right on the border of egypt, tens of thousands of people there are seeking shelter and we understand from people on the ground that that strike, there are still people buried under the rubble led to. but khan yunis also a focus of the campaign and this is hospital there. a lot of people also in the grounds hoping that will keep them safe. israel reiterating its call for civilians to leave the centre of khan yunis while its ground operation then advances. i mentioned the fighting in rafah, near the egyptian border where we have thousands of place this —— displaced palestinians. we have flares there. supplies of food, water and medicine continue to be in extremely short

supply. israel say that more aid will enter gaza and have opened two additional crossing points. we have also heard from israel's defence minister, saying his country has no intention of staying permanently in the gaza strip. yoav gallant said israel is open to discussing who could control the palestinian territory as long as it was not a hostile group. our middle east correspondent yolande knell is injerusalem. she gives us the latest on what has been happening overnight. the main focus of khan yunis in the south of the gaza strip has told us the fighting is audible there and people have been killed in an israeli air strike and by sniper fire as well. there are reports too of raid in the north of gaza on hospital. so much talk of the un warning of mass starvation in the gaza strip, have the un general

assembly due to vote later on an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. that draft resolution going through just days after the un security council voted against such a resolution. the us they're using its power of veto to stop the resolution going through. the israelis are saying that they are opening their kerem shalom crossing with the gaza strip, an important move that will allow aid from egypt to be brought there. your checks. it is something that the un and egypt and us had been asking for an it should speed up been asking for an it should speed up aid deliveries going into gaza. against the background of this, we have no concerns about the conflict spreading. in the occupied west bank, we are hearing of several palestinians killed in an israeli joan strike on —— drone strike. i'm joined now by nibal farasakh, from the palestinian red crescent society. good to have viewers on bbc news. we

have been focusing on the situation in khan yunis. what are you hearing on the ground from there. good mornin: , on the ground from there. good morning, thank— on the ground from there. good morning, thank you _ on the ground from there. good morning, thank you for - on the ground from there. (limp. morning, thank you for having me. the situation in gaza is just unimaginable. there is bombardments everywhere in gaza, in khan yunis and the centre of gaza, in rafah and evenin and the centre of gaza, in rafah and even in gaza, and in the north, one of my colleagues was there and told me that the only thing left in gaza and the north is death. people are fleeing from one place to another. after they flee, because of bombardments, they are forced again to flee to another place. there is no safer place in gaza. people are left with great concern and fear, and on top of that, without regular access to food, water, as well as electricity. the situation on the ground isjust dire. over 85% of

electricity. the situation on the ground is just dire. over 85% of the palestinians are internally displaced in the south of gaza, and they are sheltering either in schools, hospitals, or evenjust in relatives multi mccombes. on top of that, we seeing people are overcrowded —— in relatives' homes. does that also mean they are putting your teams under pressure as well, using your facilities as a place to shelter? exactly. we have in our palestinian crescent headquarters hospital in khan yunis, over 15,000 civilians are taking shelter inside our facility. civilians are taking shelter inside ourfacility. you can find civilians are taking shelter inside our facility. you can find them lying on the ground of the hospital as well as all of our facilities, many of them are intense, outside.

past few days, many of them have already left our facilities and went towards rafah. but at the same time, thousands of others came into take their places because they simply do not have any other place to go to. can i ask you about the work of the red crescent at the moment? i heard interview with the who this morning describing the danger their teams are in trying to get aid and medical supplies into gaza. what is happening with your teams, how are you managing to get any kind of supplies in? the you managing to get any kind of supplies in?— you managing to get any kind of supplies in? the palestinian red crescent are _ supplies in? the palestinian red crescent are leading _ supplies in? the palestinian red crescent are leading the - supplies in? the palestinian red crescent are leading the processj supplies in? the palestinian red i crescent are leading the process of receiving the aid at the border in partnership with the egyptian red crescent. what we have until this moment is it only needs —— meets 10% of the needs on the ground. we are also trying to distribute the aid as much as we can to those people who are in need, in coordination with

our partners working on the ground, we were able through the palestinian red crescent to distribute aid to around 70,000 families in gaza, at least for one time, including relief items, food rations for children and food parcels as well, as well as... this doesn't even scratch the surface. . ~ this doesn't even scratch the surface. ., ,, , ., this doesn't even scratch the surface. ., ,, i. this doesn't even scratch the surface. ., ,, . ., surface. thank you so much for “oininu surface. thank you so much for joining us- _ thank you so much. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. three teenagers have died and two others have suffered life—threatening injuries after a collision between a bus and a car in in coedely, in south wales. police say the crash happened on monday evening. the men were between 18 and 19—years—old.

the road has remained closed while investigations continue. mental health campaigners have written to the chief constables of norfolk and suffolk to request an investigation into thousands of deaths there. an independent report found that as many as 8,440 people who were being treated at the mental health trust had died unexpectedly over three years. the norfolk and suffolk trust has apologised and says it is working to improve the situation. campaigners are making a final bid in the high court today to stop a road tunnel being built near stonehenge. they say the work could cause "irreversible damage" to the archaeological site. the plans would involve improving the a303 road which runs past the world heritage site, which is frequently heavily congested. you're live with bbc news. it's only tuesday — and already it's turning out to be quite a high stakes week for rishi sunak.

yesterday he spent most of the day in front of the cameras at the covid inquiry, defending his record as chancellor during the pandemic. today he has perhaps an even trickier task — winning over mps from his own party to support his plans to send some asylum seekers to rwanda. to give you an idea of how seriously he's having to take it, just look at this parade of conservative mps heading in to downing street at daybreak. they were invited for breakfast and the chance to hear mr sunak make his case for his policy. the bill toughens previous legislation where lawyers for migrants have used human rights legislation to block their removal. the new legislation does not go as far as overriding the european convention on human rights. right—wing conservatives are not happy about this and say mr sunak�*s plan is too weak, and could end up with asylum seekers lodging multiple legal challenges. there's a vote in the house of commons later. opposition parties say they will vote against the policy. that means it won't take much of a revolt in his own ranks for mr sunak to lose — a worrying prospect for any prime minister.

i'm joined now by dr s chelvan, an immigration barrister at the firm 33 bedford row in london. can you take us through the differences of this new legislation rishi sunak has been posing? can i start off by — rishi sunak has been posing? can i start off by saying. _ rishi sunak has been posing? can i start off by saying, we _ rishi sunak has been posing? can i start off by saying, we all- rishi sunak has been posing? cari i start off by saying, we all need to pass on thoughts and condolences to the refugee found on the bibby stockholm, and that is a few weeks after the death of another refugee. this environment is being made for refugees in the uk by this government. rishi sunak will be tightening the legislation, that is what people are saying, in relation to this bill. we know the supreme court only a matter of weeks ago ruled out rwanda being a safe country. there are substantial grounds for believing that when refugees are sent to rwanda, there

is a risk they will be sent back to countries where they are fleeing persecution. reportedly rwanda cannot be trusted in relation to any of the agreements because of how they have reneged on the plan and even after april 2022, the 19th of april 2022, a syrian refugee was sent back to syria via turkey. looking at now, have any of those human rights concerns been addressed?— human rights concerns been addressed? ., , ., , ., , addressed? no, but what is really interestin: addressed? no, but what is really interesting about _ addressed? no, but what is really interesting about the _ addressed? no, but what is really interesting about the legislation l interesting about the legislation rishi sunak is tightening up, rwanda has made clear that withdrawing from the treaty if it fails to comply with international law. it is a hollow promise, the rwandan government says that if you —— it will withdraw from the treaty if it does not comply with international law. it is notjust about whether one descends back refugees to countries of origin and the treaty provides provision to say the only

country refugees can be sent back to is the united kingdom, but it is obvious to refugees in one death by the rwandan government. this is a state that in may 2019, one congolese refugees demonstrated against a 25% cut in food rations, —— when congolese refugees. 66 were arrested and detained. we know that if you are dissident in orlando, there is a risk. remember the president had a 99% vote in the last election in 2017. —— dissident in rwanda. election in 2017. -- dissident in rwanda. , ., ., election in 2017. -- dissident in rwanda. ., ., ., election in 2017. -- dissident in rwanda. , ., ., ., ., rwanda. does that mean no matter what happens _ rwanda. does that mean no matter what happens in — rwanda. does that mean no matter what happens in that _ rwanda. does that mean no matter what happens in that country, - rwanda. does that mean no matter. what happens in that country, rwanda would have to be deemed safe? that is what the would have to be deemed safe? trust is what the legislation says. so what is black is now white. it goes beyond the evidence seen by our national courts, and what is important is the united nation's high commissioner on refugees

provided evidence to the courts which they accepted, the supreme court says there... on the fifth december, a government spokesman fort rwanda has said that they have been honest on this evidence. this creates a very big gap and environment in terms of how is the uk supposed to determine whether one is safe when the courts have made it clear that it is not safe, that the bill provides provisions which actually puts on a collision course with the european court of human rights regarding interim measures, that the only protection mechanism is by these irreversible harm judicial views on individuals' circumstances? and within the bill, it accepts that rwanda is not a safe country? so we are saying that rwanda is a safe country for us to

remove refugees, but we accept that rwandan refugees claiming asylum in the uk would not be caught by this legislation. it is a masterpiece of legislation. it is a masterpiece of legislation-— legislation. thank you for “oining us. -- it legislation. thank you for “oining -- it is i legislation. thank you for “oining -- it is an* legislation. thank you for “oining us. -- it is an mess h legislation. thank you for “oining us. -- it is an mess of _ legislation. thank you forjoining us. -- it is an mess of peace - legislation. thank you forjoining us. -- it is an mess of peace of. us. -- it is an mess of peace of legislation- _ —— it is an mess of peace of legislation. doesn't rishi sunak has the numbers? louis pasta des? i doesn't rishi sunak has the numbers? louis pasta des?_ louis pasta des? i don't know. and i don't think— louis pasta des? i don't know. and i don't think rishi _ louis pasta des? i don't know. and i don't think rishi sunak _ louis pasta des? i don't know. and i don't think rishi sunak nurse. -- . don't think rishi sunak nurse. -- does he don't think rishi sunak nurse. —— does he have the numbers? don't think rishi sunak nurse. -- does he have the numbers? i - don't think rishi sunak nurse. -- l does he have the numbers? i don't think rishi sunak— does he have the numbers? i don't think rishi sunak knows. _ does he have the numbers? i don't think rishi sunak knows. you - does he have the numbers? i don't think rishi sunak knows. you know things are pretty tight, lucy, because one minister who is away at the cop climate summit in the gulf, he is being flown back for the vote.

what is at stake here for rishi sunak? , ,., .., sunak? his entire political authority _ sunak? his entire political authority and _ sunak? his entire political authority and the - sunak? his entire political| authority and the potential sunak? his entire political- authority and the potential future viability of his government is at stake, because in a nutshell, he said this is one of his five pledges at the start of the year, to stop the boats, and a key part of stopping boats with migrants crossing from france to the uk was what he would see as a deterrent effect, being able to send asylum seekers to be processed in rwanda. if that is not some way to fall down... he has notjust double down on this, but he has recently tripled down on it. it would really look bad in terms of his promise to voters, but would also suggest his authority in the governing conservative party were seriously under threat. —— was seriously under threat. take were seriously under threat. -- was seriously under threat.— seriously under threat. take us

throu~h seriously under threat. take us through the — seriously under threat. take us through the different _ seriously under threat. take us| through the different objections that they are within the conservative party to this bill. broadly, let's take the rights of the governing conservative party, they are the ones costing rishi sunak the most trouble at the moment. essentially, even though the bill is already incredibly radical by british standards, those on the right essentially want to entirely deprive an asylum seeker who might be sent to rwanda from challenging that in the courts either in the uk or in the european court of human rights in strasbourg. that is what they would want to do. on the other wing of the governing conservative party, they are already feeling incredibly squeamish about this, because many of them see what is happening here as a constitutional challenge, the government essentially trying to keep the courts out of an issue like this.

that is the sort of problem that rishi sunak finds. that is the sort of problem that rishi sunakfinds. a lot that is the sort of problem that rishi sunak finds. a lot of his critics would say, what on earth is he doing, what sort ofjudgment was he doing, what sort ofjudgment was he showing to end up in this position?— he showing to end up in this osition? ., ,, i. . as was just as wasjust mentioned, as was just mentioned, an asylum seeking has died on a barge housing migrants off the south coast of england. it is moored in dorset. the home office says it is aware of reports of an incident involving an asylum seeker on board. details of what happened, including the age and nationality of the person who died, have not yet emerged. we know bibby stockholm and has around 500 people, it was commissioned to ease pressure on housing services to migrants from

so any showers in the centre will also be slow—moving. the first front clearing away, but the second one lingering across parts of scotland. so here, the rain will be on and off through the day. but showers packing in across northern ireland, england and also wales could be heavy and thundery. north—west scotland seeing the lion's share of the sunshine today, but brisk winds across the south—western approaches, the english channel and north—east england and eastern scotland coastlines. now, through this evening and overnight, low pressure continues to slowly move eastwards. eventually, a lot of the showers and the rain will be confined to the east, although we could see a few showers developing in wales and also south—west england. but under clearer skies in scotland and northern ireland, it's going to be a cold night, with some patchy frost in the highlands. but wherever you are, it's going to be a colder night than last night. so tomorrow, our low pressure continues to move off towards the low countries, taking its cloud and its patchy light rain and drizzle with it. brightening up behind it. a fair bit of dry weather and sunshine tomorrow, especially across central and western areas. but you can already see

the next weather front just waiting in the wings. that's going to bring in some more rain. mostly overnight on wednesday, these two fronts sink southwards. we could see some temporary snow in the hills in scotland and northern england. and that will contin—ue to journey down into the south—east during the course of thursday morning. eventually, a lot of this cloud will push into the south—east. it will be late in clearing here, though. out towards the west, drier and brighter. again, a lot of sunshine around. just a few showers here and there, with temperatures eight to about 12 degrees. then as we head towards the end of the week and into the weekend, well, high pressure establishes itself in the south, so things more settled here, but cloudy. whereas in the north, there will be fronts, so some rain at times.

you're watching bbc news. this is live coverage ahead of the start of a vote on rishi sunak�*s emergency legislation on his rwanda asylum policy. there are live pictures from the house of commons and we are waiting for that debate to begin. he has spent the day, rishi sunak, trying to persuade tory mps to vote for his flagship rwanda bill ahead of the vote. the prime minister met 15 conservative mps at downing street this morning, with more meetings planned during the

day. we will go over to the common shortly as the government debates the bill, before mps debate to vote on it later this evening. the labour leader sir keir starmer criticised the government's bill ahead of a crucial vote that is happening today. we can talk no to the chair of the conservative party, thank you forjoining us on the programme. a lot of negotiations happening today. tell us a bit about what the party and the prime minister is trying to do to make sure this legislation passes today. do to make sure this legislation passes today-— do to make sure this legislation asses toda . ~ , , ., ., passes today. well, this legislation is absolutely _ passes today. well, this legislation is absolutely crucial _ passes today. well, this legislation is absolutely crucial for _ passes today. well, this legislation is absolutely crucial for us - passes today. well, this legislation is absolutely crucial for us to - passes today. well, this legislation is absolutely crucial for us to get i is absolutely crucial for us to get control of illegal migration into this country and get the rwanda bill moving and get those planes taking off. we have already seen big action from the government to tackle illegal migration over the last few years. we have intelligence sharing
