hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. lionel messi continues to face anger from chinese fans for missing a game in hong kong. in social media video, messi says an injury led him to sit out the match. the labour party, if we believe the polls, is cruising to an election victory. but the party had to row back yesterday afternoon, insisting that it has no plans to introduce citizens�* assemblies. it is not an official party policy said sir keir�*s office and there are currently no plans related to their potential use. that briefing on their possible introduction had come from sue gray. the times reported that she believes the assemblies
9:32 pm
was "transformational" in ireland, building consensus for important constitutional changes, including ending the ban on abortion and allowing gay marriage. perhaps of more interest, in spite of the climb—down, is the emergence of starmer�*s chief of staff into the policymaking limelight. is she another dominic cummings? maybe we will come back to that. but what about citizens assemblies, how do they work? could they be the answer to some of our thorniest issues? jane suiter, who is a research lead of ireland's constitutional convention and has worked on all the irish citizens�* assemblies for the past decade. how did they work? basically, in ireland, how did they work? basically, in ireland. what— how did they work? basically, in ireland, what we _ how did they work? basically, in ireland, what we do _ how did they work? basically, in ireland, what we do is _ how did they work? basically, in ireland, what we do is recruit. how did they work? basically, in i ireland, what we do is recruit about 100 people randomly, like a jury or whatever from 100 people randomly, like a jury or whateverfrom different 100 people randomly, like a jury or whatever from different areas around the country, men and women,
9:33 pm
unemployed people, professional people and so on. give them an issue to discuss, they come together for a weekend once a month over several months and hear from all sides of different issues of different arguments, listen to people who've been affected by it and so on, and basically deliberate among themselves and come to some recommendation that can then be considered further by the politicians and policymakers. we elect our politicians locally to sit in the house of commons and debate these things and also to sit on committees. it's in committees where a lot of these things are thrashed out. why do we need 90 so people at citizens to sit on a counsel to decide these things for us? well, the don't decide these things for us? well, they don't decide. _ decide these things for us? well, they don't decide. what - decide these things for us? well, they don't decide. what they - decide these things for us? -ii they don't decide. what they do is they don't decide. what they do is they think about it, so if you think about the way policy works, business, unions, all sorts of people had to go in and lobby the
9:34 pm
politicians and lobby the policymakers about what it is they want to see. but nobody ever really knows what it is that the average citizen thinks or what they would think if they were given the time in the space and access to information from all sides of an argument. it's another inpatient to the policymaking, allows the voices of the citizens to be properly heard in the citizens to be properly heard in the process because the way it's set “p the process because the way it's set up now in most western democracies, it doesn't work so well for getting the citizens voices into it. it's much more vested interest than those who can afford to pay lobbyists. i listen to perhaps the more contentious issues, abortion, the ban on abortion and the lifting of the rules on gay marriage. do you think those two issues could have been resolved without a citizens assembly? been resolved without a citizens assembl ? , been resolved without a citizens assembly?— been resolved without a citizens assembl ? , , , ., assembly? they probably could over sometime. — assembly? they probably could over some time. but _ assembly? they probably could over some time, but abortion _ assembly? they probably could over some time, but abortion had - assembly? they probably could over some time, but abortion had been l assembly? they probably could over some time, but abortion had been aj some time, but abortion had been a really thorny issue since 1983, so
9:35 pm
the politicians hadn't managed to grasp it in decades. and whenever they tried to debate it in parliament, and it became very toxic. there was a lot of very unpleasant messaging and protests in the media debates were really heated. so there was a lot more heat than light in an awful lot of the debates. some the citizens assembly allowed the opportunity to take some of the heat out of that, allowed people to sit back and think more calmly and rationally about what they wanted under different circumstances. the media were really surprised at the end of it that the citizens turned around and said, well, actually, they would like a relaxation of the van, and in fact, when the report went into the parliament into a special elementary committee, they also changed their minds, some of the politicians who had been very sure of their
9:36 pm
positions before hand. so itjust allows people a bit of space to kind of step back from some of the heat of step back from some of the heat of the way that we otherwise conduct our debates in westminster parliamentary systems. thank you ve much parliamentary systems. thank you very much for— parliamentary systems. thank you very much for that. _ parliamentary systems. thank you very much for that. before - parliamentary systems. thank you very much for that. before i - parliamentary systems. thank you very much for that. before i talk i very much for that. before i talk about why labour disowned this so quickly, is there a similar thing in america, because it's very derriere at the moment for people to talk about taking politics are local. a lot of people think they're politicians are too remote. washington is too far away. is there something similar to this in the united states? i something similar to this in the united states?— something similar to this in the united states? ., _ ., ., united states? i would say that our federalist system _ united states? i would say that our federalist system of _ united states? i would say that our federalist system of government . federalist system of government emphasises state and local governments anyway. that's something that for— governments anyway. that's something that for republicans in particular have _ that for republicans in particular have always felt as though states rights _ have always felt as though states rights and state and local governments were really where all the magic— governments were really where all the magic happens in politics. it's only really— the magic happens in politics. it's only really been the last couple of decades_ only really been the last couple of

9:38 pm
well in labour ranks. i policy, which went down not very well in labour ranks.— well in labour ranks. i think this was a leak— well in labour ranks. i think this was a leak that _ well in labour ranks. i think this was a leak that wasn't _ well in labour ranks. i think this i was a leak that wasn't necessarily intended to leak. i think one of those ideas were basically the main parties very rarely come up with new ideas, and is often tend to come with this, from the greens, the other ones who have been talking about it for quite some time. and policies that come from the more fringe parties like the greens tend to be left at and there is a moral panic about them and they are often adopted in ten or 15 years' time. i think the idea of citizens assemblies are very interesting because this idea that if anyone has ever done jury service, because this idea that if anyone has ever donejury service, it because this idea that if anyone has ever done jury service, it is very impressive and humbling, these people who have no stake in the decision being made during their very best. it's interesting to take people who are not political players because people are getting into politics to become and peace at the best... they've been doing it for years and years, it's all they've ever wanted to do. i always think maybe the parallel with the uk been
9:39 pm
in 2016 when there was a brakes at the boat, the uk voted for briggs at, but no one quite knew what that was. if there had been some sort of... —— brexit. was. if there had been some sort of... -- brexit.— of... -- brexit. and we are advised and given — of... -- brexit. and we are advised and given policy — of... -- brexit. and we are advised and given policy information - of... -- brexit. and we are advised and given policy information to - of... -- brexit. and we are advised i and given policy information to make and given policy information to make a decision. that's interesting. we will have to quickly move on because there is lots coming up move on because there is lots coming up in the programme. the two major political parties in pakistan say they have reached an agreement to form a coalition government after days of negotiations. it was all announced in a late night press conference a short while ago. our pakistan correspondent, caroline davies is in islamabad and has been watching. tell us what you know. we know the rime tell us what you know. we know the prime ministerial— tell us what you know. we know the prime ministerial candidate - tell us what you know. we know the prime ministerial candidate for - prime ministerial candidate for pakistan's ppp party made this announcement this evening. now, we knew that the ppp and the second and third largest groups to get seats in this election were having discussions about forming a
9:40 pm
government, about forming a coalition, but we didn't know they'd actually come to an agreement. that is what is new this evening. we now know they are planning to nominate a prime ministerial candidate. he has been prime minister before here in pakistan, and nominated in the role to be president. now, of course, he will not hear one crucial name, and thatis will not hear one crucial name, and that is imran khan.— that is imran khan. what does independent _ that is imran khan. what does independent make _ that is imran khan. what does independent make of- that is imran khan. what does independent make of it, - that is imran khan. what does - independent make of it, caroline? they are essentially kept out of government by this coalition. they were the group that got the largest number of seats. they have been referring to the particular parties as mandate thieves because they allege that there was raking in the seats that they didn't win and they are currently challenging that in court, court that is denied by the election commission here that there was any rigging involved. based on this great system, these court cases are still going it seems likely that
9:41 pm
this coalition government will be formed before those court cases get resolved. irate formed before those court cases get resolved. ~ , ., resolved. we will see what the reaction is _ resolved. we will see what the reaction is tomorrow. - resolved. we will see what the reaction is tomorrow. thank. resolved. we will see what the i reaction is tomorrow. thank you. more than two weeks after lionel messi sat out a much—hyped friendly im hong kong friendly, for which fans had paid substantial sums to watch the footballer in action, the argentine star has taken to weibo to apologise to "mainland chinese and hong kong football fans." the star said an injury that led him to sit out the match on four february. which you might think would put an end to it. but the organiser tatler asia, has pointed out that right after the hong kong debacle, in fact three days later, messi was on the field in tokyo. which tatler sai "feels like another slap in the face," before i speak to you, let's play this message from a messi and see what he had to say.
9:42 pm
i don't speak spanish as good as that, maybe he can explain what he was saying and how remorseful he is a. ., " , ., was saying and how remorseful he is a. . a. he makes a very convincing case. let's remember _ a. he makes a very convincing case. let's remember that _ a. he makes a very convincing case. let's remember that china - a. he makes a very convincing case. let's remember that china took - a. he makes a very convincing case. let's remember that china took hisl let's remember that china took his absence from this game very, very badly indeed. the argentine national team were due to play two games in china next month. china has now cancelled them and the press and that part of the world has been saying that messi didn't play in this game against a hong kong combined 11 for inter—miami because of political forces and external reasons. messi has come up with a very good defence, three parts to it. number one, he always wants to play. and that is certainly true looking at his career. he mrs very few games. number two, looking at his career. he mrs very few games. numbertwo, had looking at his career. he mrs very few games. number two, had he not wanted to play, he wouldn't have travelled all the way over there in
9:43 pm
the first place. number three, he has quite a long consolidated relationship with china and chinese football. remember, he won the olympic gold medal in beijing back in 2008. he is a 36—year—old footballer. he has been struggling with fitness recently. he says that his problem here was a growing problem. he couldn't move freely. he wasn't fit enough to play. he wanted to stop all of the silly talk about external political factors and say it was purely a footballing reason. it does remind me a little bit, christian, that when one player get so big that bigger than the event, the great brazilian pele who left us not that long ago and he was playing a friendly in columbia, and the crowd have obviously paid to see pele more than his club site, santos, the referee sent off pele,
9:44 pm
and the crowd responded by strumming the field, sending off the referee and bringing pele back. that perhaps shows that this story of one man being bigger than the event didn't start with lionel messi. hat being bigger than the event didn't start with lionel messi.— start with lionel messi. not the first sportsman _ start with lionel messi. not the first sportsman randy - start with lionel messi. not the first sportsman randy different| first sportsman randy different sporting outfit to make a profuse apology to the chinese when you consider all the merchandising that is available in such a huge economy. this, i suppose, is available in such a huge economy. this, isuppose, one is available in such a huge economy. this, i suppose, one of the ironies here is the emphasis being placed on one man rather than the collective and a communist country. i suppose football has been digging this little hole for itself with the way that markets the stars sometimes over the teams that they play for. there is a kind of young kind of supporter who will rather than having an allegiance to a particular team, will have an allegiance to a player and will swap between us when that player moves, they will become
9:45 pm
a supporter of the team that the player has been moved to a. that does put a lot of pressure on the presence of said player, especially in today's absurdly over cluttered calendar for the elite footballers. this is all very difficult for a burn the fan to understand. i don't really get it. i could sort of question the reaction of some of the hong kong chinese fans, but then look at the reaction that there was when he went to play in the united states. he is back to bake. it's like watching clean without freddie mercury, right? like watching clean without freddie mercury. right?— mercury, right? well, sure. part of the reason — mercury, right? well, sure. part of the reason why— mercury, right? well, sure. part of the reason why messi _ mercury, right? well, sure. part of the reason why messi has - mercury, right? well, sure. part of the reason why messi has paid - the reason why messi has paid so much money by the current club that he's at this because they were hoping to expand their opportunities in china. the market is huge, as we just discussed. i don't think he meant for it to become a diplomatic row. that is not what anyone anticipated. if he's injured, he is injured, but because of china's human rights records and other
9:46 pm

9:52 pm
and atletico madrid. it's currently 1—0 with minutes to spare. and this was the deciding moment so far — a terrible mix—up in the atletico defence, lautaro martinez with the shot before former west ham striker marko arnautovic, finally taking his goal having missed a whole series of chances. the italians leading as we head into injury time it's delicately poised in the other tie of the night, though — with full time approaching. a penalty from luuk dejong means psv eindhoven are on course to draw 1—1 with german side borussia dortmund — that match is into stoppage time. we're not in a transfer window, but one of most anticipated deals in football has been agreed. barring any hitches, kylian mbappe will be a real madrid player next season. real have offered a five—year deal and the spanish football writer
9:53 pm
and broadcaster guillem ballague explains why the time is right for mbappe to make the move. he's 25. he's given a lot of years, seven years to psg. and i think he feels it is time to, sporting eyes, make a step forward, i think going to be on the dread, competes —— competitor and absolutely everything. unique club. one that is close to his heart. he actually admires christian ronaldo and admires christian ronaldo and admires that white shirt. he's always said that. certainly it is something that he feels he's got to do to be closer to when that bell as well i think he was quite upset that in the last two or three years has not been closer to winning it with real madrid, certainly can make you
9:54 pm
will have the opportunity to do so. also a contract that finished with psg, he had to decide, do i get a longer contract? to more years until i'm 27. what do i go now? this real madrid is one that is a fast train right now with rodrigo... young but competitive. he feels he could adapt to it very well, when more things when more trophies. they have been prepared for him. also would say that real madrid have paid it very cleverly and have sent a message to mbappe can if you are not coming now, we will go for irving haaland next and we want to have the money for you. so the stars have aligned. it has been a tough start to 2024 for andy murray but he has finally got the monkey off his back — having lost his last six singles matches stretching back to the start of october last year in the last few
9:55 pm
moments he's beaten frrance's alexandre muller in the first round of the qatar open muller is the player he beat on the way to reaching the final here last year and sits 25 places below the triple grand slam winner in the world rankings. but despite form not being on murray�* side he was out of the traps the fastest taking the opening set 6—1. the second set was much closer. muller leading in the tie break but the former world number one coming back to take the match and his first win of 2024. world athletics is planning to introduce a new trial for measuring long jump. a "take—off zone" will be used instead of the traditional wooden board where a no—jump is called if the athlete�*s foot crosses the line. the jump will be measured from where the athlete�*s front foot takes off to where they land in the pit. the aim is to reduce the amount of no—jumps. a third of all attempts at the 2023 world championships in budapest did not count as athletes overstepped. and that�*s all the sport for now. from me and the rest of the team, we will see you soon. goodbye.
9:56 pm
hello there. the next couple of days look pretty unsettled. we�*ll see two areas of low pressure moving in, bringing wet and windy weather to our shores. could see some issues with localised flooding in places as the ground is already so saturated. but one thing noticeable for the next few days, despite the wind and the rain, it will stay very mild before things turn colder from thursday onwards. now, through tonight, that wet, windy, milderweather spreads its way northwards. but initially, ahead of that rain, it will turn quite cold across some northern and eastern areas. a touch frost perhaps for northeast scotland, but temperatures recovering — nine or ten degrees across southern and western areas by the end of the night. and here it is, this area of low pressure, a fairly deep feature with quite a few isobars on the chart indicating windy weather with gales certainly around coasts of irish sea coasts, northern and eastern parts of scotland could see the strongest gusts. the rain splashing its way eastward through the morning. into the afternoon, starts to push out into the north sea. skies brighten up behind it, but it
9:57 pm
does remain blustery for all areas. some showers running into northern and western scotland, but it will hang back, i think, across eastern england with regards to the cloud and the rain. but these temperatures again above the seasonal norm —11—13 celsius. as we head through wednesday night, it�*s dry for a time. then we see another area of low pressure gathering force out west that will bring a band of showery rain into northern and western areas. that rain starts to pep up, begins to cross england and wales. again, a fairly mild night to come across the south, something a bit cooler working its way into northern and western areas. that�*s a sign of things to come as we head through thursday. as this low pressure system, with its heavy rain and strong winds across the south, spreads across the country and pushes on in towards the north sea, it starts to open the floodgates to a much colder west—northwestly. that�*s when you can see that�*s evident here with the blue colours, not particularly very cold, but certainly colder than what we�*ve had over the last week or so. so, a rather unsettled, wet day to come, i think, for much of the country, certainly england and wales
9:58 pm
on thursday, windy in the south. as the rain pulls away, the colder air starts to move in, so those showers begin to turn wintry over the higher ground of northern and western hills. and notice the temperatures as well — it will be noticeable — 5—9 degrees. factor in the wind, it�*ll feel colder than that. it stays fairly unsettled into the weekend. sunshine and showers again, these wintry over northern and western hills and nights will be turning colder with some frost.
10:00 pm
