police in prague release body cam video from the moment officers arrived at the scene of thursday's deadly mass shooting. these are the pictures from the capital where people are laying hundreds of flowers and candles. sudan's army chief vows to hold his commanders accountable after a rival paramilitary captures a strategic sudanese city. we will get the latest on the humanitarian crisis. and it's bin day on the international space station. is the way they get rid of waste way forward to get rid of space junk? first, a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. hello from the bbc sport centre. we're just a few hours away from the final of fifa's club world cup.

pep guardiola has really been building up the importance of this tournament as his european champions manchester city get ready to face the south american champions fluminense from brazil. both are playing in the final for the first time. city are looking to become the fourth english club to win the trophy after manchester united, liverpool and chelsea. it is so difficult to come here, so difficult. you have to win and champions league. both competitions are really tough. that's why it's a unique gift, all we have. when you're in this competition, you are in it forever. all six premier league sides that originally backed the breakaway european super league in 2021 have now re—affirmed their committment to playing in uefa's european competitions. this follows yesterday's ruling

by the european court ofjustice that the ban by uefa and fifa on clubs from joining the european superleague was "unlawful" and the two governing bodies "had abused a dominant position". liverpool were the last of the six to confirm their stance although the manager can see positives in the court ruling. just like it that we finally get a little bit of understanding that uefa and other associations cannot just do what they want. creating new rules, we have to talk about a lot of stuff and the things they do like putting in competitions, having a say in it, whatever is going on. i like that they get a bit of a shake. there's one game in the premier league this evening. aston villa are at home to bottom side sheffield united.

if villa win they willjump above arsenal and liverpool to the top of the table. you have to go back 25 years to the last time they led the way at this stage of the season. a win for sheffield united would see them move off the foot of the table but still three points off safety. we are not going to have all our players, it still is a young and inexperienced group in terms of premier league experience and age. but as i said, no excuses, we go there and whatever group we pick, we fully expect and demand a committed performance because if not, you can get pulled apart at places like villa park. india's women have built a sizeable first innings lead in the one—off test against australia in mumbai. they'd bowled the tourists out for 219 on day one and by the close of day 2 had reached 376—7. that's a 157—run lead. there were half centuries from mandhana, ghosh and rodrigues,

and a fantastic century partnership for the eighth wicket between deepti and vastrakar. it could be a pretty miserable christmas for detroit pistons and theirfans... defeat to utah jazz means they are one more loss away from equalling the record for the longest losing streak in an nba season. they were beaten 119—111, their 25th straight loss, and that prompted chants of "sell the team!" from home supporters in detroit. the pistons finished bottom of the eastern conference last season, and unsurprisingly they are bottom of it again. they have to win at the nets on christmas eve or they willjoin the cavs and the 76'ers on 26 defeats in a row in the same season and that's all the sport for now. let's turn to sudan now, where the paramilitary

the israeli military say they've destroyed a large area of gaza. the bbc verify has been looking at the video and others released by the israelis over recent days which they claim shows extensive tunnels in gaza. the israeli army shows a huge network in gaza city. from this video we worked out as around here, in the heart of the city. we know this because of two buildings and the stadium you can see just here in the stadium you can see just here in the background. here you can see on a map, the two buildings and the stadium. and just a day before this, the idf released several videos claiming to show hamas tunnels around this area. and this is the beginning of one of these videos, just next to the square. it is what

they say is a tunnel entrance. it is about to appear right here. and we know it's here because we can see building signs on the posts here. this is the one on the right and it's a sign for the society for the death which they also make reference to the video. the israeli army claimed this is the centre of a strategic tunnel network for hamas strongholds which they say connects to the underground network under hospitals. this is one of several videos they have released recent days and a lot is filmed indoors underground. this is a tunnel leading to the home of a right—hand man of a hamas official. some of the above ground footage is filmed at night, overall this above ground footage is filmed at night, over all this makes it hard to verify. the idf have offered many graphics and explanations about how the tunnels are connected but unable to link these cells to exteriors, we

have yet to verify the images. this isn't the first time israeli army have made claims about the tunnels. in october, they produced this animation which they said showed a network of tunnels under the hospital. they called it the main headquarters for hamas terrorist activities. then the israeli forces got control of a site and were able to investigate what lay underneath it. now in november, they released a video of what they say was a 55 metre tunnel under the hospital site. we were able to confirm the location of this as the far north eastern edge of the complex and one part of the tunnel apparently ran underneath a hospital building. the idf footage showed two rooms, toilets and a sink area. there was also electric wiring visible. but the idf didn't explain how this constituted the command and control centre they had earlier alleged. we

asked for further details and evidence of what they found at the region since and they have not provided this. india's top wrestler has quit the sport — in protest over her federation�*s new president. sanjay singh was elected the chief of the wrestling federation of india on thursday. but he is reportedly a close ally of the former chief, who has been accused of sexually harassing female wrestlers. the former head denies the allegations. this was the moment the country's top wrestler resigned in protest. translation: i fought this fight with all my heart. - but if brij bhushan or someone associated with him is the president of the wrestling federation of india, then i quit wrestling. you won't see me there after today. from delhi, our correspondent raghvendra rao send this update on the story.

she is india's first woman wrestlers who have won a medal at the olympics. but on thursday, she announced a tearful exit from the sport. earlierthis announced a tearful exit from the sport. earlier this year, she along with several wrestlers accused the wrestling federation of india former chief of sexual harassment, saying he is a member of parliament from the ruling of the party and following these allegations, he is currently facing criminal charges. he however denies any wrongdoing. on thursday, the wrestling federation of india held polls to choose its next chief and the person who got elected, sanjay singh, is believed to be a close associate of him. an exasperated wrestler said she was quitting the sport because of this. the real control will continue to be in the hands of this predecessor.

these wrestlers had asked the government not to allow any close associates of him to contest these polls. they had also been pressing the government for female representation in the wrestling body. when both of these demands didn't yield results, these wrestlers expressed their frustration. and sakshi malik put her shoes on the tables and called it quits. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. the football shirts, hair dryers and watches are all on our christmas lists. but to take a closer look and these items are not what they seem. what have we got here? this these items are not what they seem. what have we got here?— what have we got here? this looks like the real— what have we got here? this looks like the real deal. _ what have we got here? this looks like the real deal. it _ what have we got here? this looks like the real deal. it does - what have we got here? this looks like the real deal. it does but - what have we got here? this looks like the real deal. it does but what| like the real deal. it does but what we see here for example on a genuine

the capital of gezira, on monday. war between the two sides, erupted in april, following disagreement over an internationally backed political transition plan. the conflict has displaced more than seven million people, it has left the capital khartoum in ruins, and has unleashed a devastating humanitarian crisis. live now to alain ouattara — he's the deputy head of the sudan office with the united nations office for the co—ordination of humanitarian affairs. we are grateful for your time here on bbc news. how alarmed are you at the current situation in sudan? thank you for having me. what comes to mind now is when is all this going to stop? when is the worrying party going to abide by the commitment to protect civilians by

international military law? the situation now in the state is worrisome. the current situation as we are hearing coming through is that it's happening despite the fact we have been able to communicate some of our assets of humanitarian locations, civilians have been forced to flee for the second time in wad madani, half a million people. forced to suspend our assistance in those areas and relocate a neighbouring state so we could resume when the situation allows. 50 could resume when the situation allows. �* , could resume when the situation allows, �* , could resume when the situation allows. �*, ., ., , ., allows. so it's so dangerous that ou can't allows. so it's so dangerous that you can't operate _ allows. so it's so dangerous that you can't operate on _ allows. so it's so dangerous that you can't operate on the - allows. so it's so dangerous thatj you can't operate on the ground. tell me more about that and the

something we have 'ust started to think about now.— think about now. what you 'ust described. fl think about now. what you 'ust described, isn't i think about now. what you 'ust described, isn't that i think about now. what you just described, isn't that happening think about now. what you just i described, isn't that happening so high up that it wouldn't impact in terms of consequences for us? ultimately, it will. we don't know exactly but the presumption is it could have some sort of effect. the atmosphere is all connected and we already see things in the atmosphere from launch vehicles, we already see traces of small elements of satellites that have burned up in the past. there's a suggestion it's there and, ultimately, these particles might be small and high up in the atmosphere but they will make their way down through the atmosphere and again, we don't really know yet what effect it will have, whether it will enter the food chain or anything like that. it's all up for debate. but it's something we need to be thinking about. ., . ~' something we need to be thinking about. ., ., ~ ., ., about. you talk about the large chunks even — about. you talk about the large chunks even the _ about. you talk about the large chunks even the small- about. you talk about the large l chunks even the small fragments about. you talk about the large - chunks even the small fragments of spacejunk, it is chunks even the small fragments of space junk, it is worth discovering 12 viewers the dangers because even tiny tiny pieces going at the

seeing exponential growth in satellites with an increased risk of something going wrong because we are not taken the time to think about it without regulations in place. technology is running ahead of that. all sorts of political things going on as well, holding back regulations. the whole world needs to come together to understand what we do. we need a sustainable environment. abs, we do. we need a sustainable environment.— we do. we need a sustainable environment. a final thought on regulation. _ environment. a final thought on regulation. so — environment. a final thought on regulation, so many _ environment. a final thought on regulation, so many countries i environment. a final thought on i regulation, so many countries are gate—crashing the satellite market, the proliferation as you described is pretty much without regulation. that's part of the problem here, a variety of ideas but no one is regulating what everybody does. the sim - le regulating what everybody does. tue: simple answer, regulating what everybody does. t'ta: simple answer, there's regulating what everybody does. tta: simple answer, there's nothing regulating what everybody does. t'ta: simple answer, there's nothing for how we operate space in my lifetime. that puts the point of the problem with space. we have a situation in the uk, conflict around the world.

we need all countries to agree on what we are going to do and that's an incredibly difficult thing to do. we need a concerted effort to create a sustainable space environment. absolutely fascinating, this whole area. thank you for your time talking us through some of the problems some of the potential solutions. thank you for being here. hollywood starjason has swapped his gear for silk pyjamas and a cardigan. all part of his contribution to cbeebies bedtime stories on the bbc. he's the latest in a long line of celebrities reading stories for young audiences, which even includes one of the spice girls. we can watch a sneak preview of his narrating a popular children's story about "a little fish with a big imagination".

in a northwestward direction over the high ground in the republic of ireland. we're getting mountain waves, these ripples, you can see, and that is helping to break the cloud across parts of wales, the midlands, southern counties of england. so you could see a few breaks in the cloud, bit of sunshine. the north and west, you're much more likely to see thicker cloud with outbreaks of rain at times. bright weather conditions in the northern isles, but still with the risk of those wintry showers coming and going. overnight tonight, for most, it stays on the mild side. but we do have this feed of cold air across the north east of scotland. and into that, a weather front moves. now, this front could bring some flooding concerns across western scotland, but as it bumps into the cold air across the north of scotland, the mainland will probably start to see some snow, initially over hills but the snow levels dropping as we go through the night. so cold across northern scotland and it's here where into saturday we could see some accumulations of snow, between two and ten centimetres. those larger amounts likely over the high ground. eventually milder air

will push in and so any snow will turn back to rain. so if you're planning a christmas commute, if you like, across this part of the world, might be worth waiting to the afternoon until the risk of snow has passed. risk of flooding across western scotland with that persistent rain, otherwise still quite a lot of cloud around. some damp weather across western coast and hills, but some breaks in a cloud across the midlands and eastern england. christmas eve could pose one or two issues as well. strong winds affecting western scotland, but also gusts 50 to 70mph over into the east of the pennines. that could bring some transport disruption. there's a risk that high—sided vehicles, perhaps using the mm, for example, could get blown over by winds that strong. you might see some trees being knocked down as well. christmas day, the vast majority of the uk are in this mild air mass, so forget about it being a white christmas. it's more likely to be grey with outbreaks of rain at times. however, we do have that cold air still loitering across northern scotland and with weather fronts around, well, there could be a few of you that see a bit of snowfall over the hills

of northern scotland for christmas day itself. bye for now.

live from london — this is bbc news. as the warnings grow about the catastrophic conditions in gaza and fears of famine, the un security council looks set to vote on increasing humanitarian aid. we'll be live in new york, after days of wrangling about
