between ireland and new zealand, as the home side look to avenge their world cup defeat. hello, welcome to the bbc news at six. more than 60 people have been arrested after israeli football fans were attacked by groups of young men in amsterdam last night. the mayor of amsterdam said men on scooters had roamed the city attacking the supporters. she described it as an "explosion" of anti—semitism. it happened after the israeli football club maccabi tel aviv played ajax in the europa league. the dutch king said a blind eye must not be turned to anti—semitic behaviour. dutch police said some israeli fans had attacked a taxi and pulled down a palestinian flag the night before. anna holligan reports

from amsterdam. international tensions reverberating on the streets of amsterdam. maccabi tel aviv supporters were hunted down by men on scooters, according to the mayor of amsterdam. translation: individuals on scooters criss-crossed the city searching - for for supporters of maccabi tel aviv. it was hit—and—run. she said it brought to mind historical persecution againstjewish people in dutch and european history. this clip was shared on social media the day before the match. amsterdam's police chief said maccabi supporters attacked a taxi and set fire to a palestinian flag. extra police were deployed in anticipation of trouble, but the violence happened away from the stadium as fans headed to their hotels.

that happened right there. the hotel. it came too late. they came when we were already hurt, injured. the dutch capital is no stranger to football—related violence, but this doesn't seem to have been hooliganism between rival supporters, but rather targeted attacks steeped not in sporting rivalry, but rather nationality. the dutch prime minister, dick schoof, said he was ashamed and will return to amsterdam early. he hopes, he said, israeli people will still feel safe in the netherlands. the violence here in the square in amsterdam has had an impact right across western europe. the mayor of amsterdam said it was a reminder of what had happened across the border in germany decades ago. extra police are out on the streets tonight and

it is peaceful, most of the fans have gone home. but the tensions it ignited after that game have not gone away. anna holligan, thank you. in the us, president elect trump's republican party is only seven seats short of a majority in the house of representatives, the lower house of congress. if the republicans are successful it would add to their victories in the upper house, the senate, and the white house, handing donald trump complete control of the levers of government. our north america editor sarah smith is in palm beach for us. when will we know? well, it will probably be a couple of days because there is quite slow counting coming in from california before we'll know the full maker of the house. it is important if donald trump has control of all three branches of government, the white house, the house of representatives and the senate, it makes it much easierfor him to get and the senate, it makes it much easier for him to get legislation passed. he needs to get it passed

through congress if he wants to institute huge tax cuts he has been promising. the other things like deporting millions of illegal immigrants living in america, he can do that by signing an executive order. we have also learnt in the last hour or so about an iranian plot to try to assassinate donald trump before he was elected. this has come from the justice trump before he was elected. this has come from thejustice department who have revealed charges against several people. the fbi have in custody a man who says, he is believed to be an iranian assets in america, he says he was directed by the revolutionary guards in september to put together a plot to kill donald trump. he was told to set aside everything else and concentrate on surveilling donald trump and keeping an eye on him and working out how to try to kill him. this is explosive stuff because he is saying it was the iranian government who was directing him to do this. there were two

assassination attempts against donald trump during the course of the election campaign. we have no reason to believe at the moment they are connected to iran in anyway, but it means donald trump is going to take this very, very seriously when he learns that iranians government officials were trying to plot to kill him at a time when the middle eastis kill him at a time when the middle east is greatly inflamed and the incoming new president will have a role to play in that. we will see how it plays out. but this is big news in the united states, that the justice department said there was this plot to try to kill donald trump. this plot to try to kill donald trum -. . ~ this plot to try to kill donald trum. . ~' ,, this plot to try to kill donald trum. ., ~ i. ., this plot to try to kill donald trum. . ~ ,, ., ., this plot to try to kill donald trum. ., ~ ., ., ., trump. thank you for now, sarah smith. prince william has described the last year as "brutal" and probably the hardest year of his life as he dealt with both his wife and his father having cancer. the heir to the throne said he's proud of the king and princess catherine who has said she will attend the traditional remembrance commemorations this weekend. here's our senior royal correspondent daniela relph. last year's remembrance sunday service at the cenotaph.

a full show of the most senior members of the royal family, including the princess of wales. just a few weeks after this, she was admitted to hospital and subsequently began treatment for cancer. but buckingham palace has now confirmed that she will attend remembrance events this weekend, one ofjust a handful of public appearances she's made this year. on his visit to south africa this week, the prince of wales has reflected on his wife's diagnosis. he told reporters, "it's been dreadful. it's probably been the hardest year in my life, so trying to keep everything on track has been really difficult." i thought it was a very significant intervention, not least because it's not normally the sort of thing we hear from the prince of wales, from prince william. i mean, his, you know, his brother obviously has been very vocal about his sort of personal feelings in recent years. prince of wales usuallyjust

is, you know, prefers to keep these things to himself. the prince has focussed on his earthshot prize award ceremony while in cape town, but it's been a disruptive year for the entire royalfamily, with both the princess and the king dealing with a cancer diagnosis. prince william said, "i'm so proud of my wife. i'm proud of my father for handling the things that they've done. but from a personal family point of view, it's been brutal." ahead of the earthshot ceremony earlier this week, the prince also spoke on camera with an update about the princess. she's doing really well, thanks, and hopefully she's watching tonight and cheering me on. but, no, she's been she's been amazing this whole year. they are candid words from prince william in a year where the royal family has faced the challenges shared by so many. it's hoped that next year the prince will be solo less often as his wife returns to more public duties. daniela ralph, bbc news.

a man accused of murdering his 10—year—old daughter has been giving evidence in court about the evening she died. urfan sharif denies killing sara sharif, whose body was discovered at the family home in woking in august last year. her stepmother and uncle also deny murder. daniel sandford reports from the old bailey. police! on the 10th of august last year, police arrived at the sharif family home in woking just before 3am in the morning. upstairs, on the bottom bunk in one of the bedrooms, they found ten—year—old sara sharif. next to her was a note in her father's handwriting saying, "love you, sara. whoever see this note, it's me, urfan sharif, who killed my daughter by beating." you are suspected of her murder. this was urfan sharif when he was arrested. today, thejury in his trial heard his account of how sara died. he said he got home from work to find his wife, beinash batool, sitting on the floor upstairs with sara, who was limp.

urfan sharif told the jury that he took sara from his beinash batool�*s lap, that his daughter whispered and opened her mouth a little, saying she was thirsty and needed some water. but when somebody fetched the water, his daughter didn't wake up. "she had stopped breathing," he said. "i shouted for ambulance because i couldn't hear breathing," he told the jury. "i checked the pulse, and there was none. i started giving her cpr. i was numb like i am now. i was shock. beinash shouted at me, "wake her up, wake her up! she cannot die!" an ambulance was never called. he told the jury the family fled to pakistan instead of calling the police and he'd taken blame for sara's death because his wife had told him a child had been responsible and he was worried about his children being taken into care. it was only when he returned to the uk and police told him the extent of sara's injuries that he started to suspect his wife.

urfan sharif, beinash batool, and urfan's brother, faisal malik, all deny murder. the trial continues on monday. daniel sandford, bbc news, at the old bailey. there's been more flooding in spain, this time in the north—eastern region of girona. cars were washed away by a torrent of water gushing down a street in the town of cadaques, causing them to pile up and block a bridge. it comes just over a week since more than 200 people died, mostly in the valencia region, in the worst floods in decades. charlotte gallagher has the latest. a road becomes a river as dozens of cars are swept away in surging floodwater. there left crumpled and twisted, their path blocked by a bridge. luckily no—one was injured. now the clean—up begins. forecasters had warned of heavy rain

in the town and say the area is facing more extreme weather tonight and tomorrow. more than 300 miles away in the valencia area, another community in spain counts the cost of flooding. mud and debris still lies in the streets here. last week, more than 200 people were killed. in the country's worst natural disaster in living memory. many are now homeless and relying on help from the government and charities. others are trying to clear out their homes. translation: we do not have gas to cook. - we do not have hot water either. we are happy that nobody�*s dead in ourfamily. the rest can be fixed. all the volunteers here come from all around spain. they help us, asking for nothing in return. experts say the heavy rain has been intensified by climate change. residents want to know how

authorities will ensure scenes like these are never repeated. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. the time is 6:13pm. our top story this evening. more than 60 arrests in amsterdam after a night of violence. the city's mayor has called it an explosion of anti—semitism. and still to come — have the makers of powdered baby milk got the wrong pricing formula? coming up on bbc news, pep guardiola insists he knows what's up with manchester city as he attempts to avoid a fourth straight defeat for the first time in his managerial career and with none of his injured players available either to face brighton tomorrow. a senior official overseeing this year's united nations global conference on tackling climate change, has been filmed offering to arrange business meetings

about potential fossil fuel deals. elnur soltanov, from the host nation azerbaijan, was secretly recorded by an activist who was pretending to be an investor interested in sponsoring the cop29 meeting, which starts on monday. 0ur climate editor justin rowlatt reports. cop 29 is definitely the most important event of this year. it's the world's biggest climate summit. everyone needs to come together. and here is why. the apocalyptic floods that hit spain two weeks ago are a terrifying reminder of the kind of extreme weather climate change will bring. but the chief executive of the cop 29 team has other things on his mind. we have a lot of pipeline infrastructure. we have a lot of gas fields that are to be developed. mr soltanov thinks he's talking

to a potential sponsor. in fact, the man is from the human rights organisation global witness, and is posing as the head of a hong kong company which wants to make fossil fuel investments. mr soltanov, who is also the deputy energy minister of azerbaijan, does talk about tackling climate change. so the purpose is solving climate crisis. so as long as anybody, including oil and gas companies, could come up with solutions, our doors are open. mr soltanov is also on the board of socar, the azeri state oil and gas company. and he wasn'tjust open to climate solutions, he was open to discussions about oil and gas deals too. there are a lot ofjoint ventures that could be established. potential joint ventures. 0ur socar trading is trading oil and gas all over the world, including in asia.

he's eager to help get discussions going. this is something that you need to be talking to socar, and i would be happy to create a contact between yourself and them, your team and their team, so that they can start discussions. a couple of weeks later, the hong kong investment company received an email. one of socar�*s most senior executives wants to meet in baku and says mr soltanov said to get in touch. setting up meetings to discuss potential fossil fuel deals appears to be a serious breach of the standards of conduct expected of a cop official. these un climate conferences are supposed to be about getting rid of oil and gas, not selling more of the stuff. the un's code of conduct says officials should remain impartial and should try to avoid conflicts of interest. the costa rican diplomat christiana figueres was in charge of the un climate process during the landmark cop conference

in paris in 2015. it's completely unacceptable. the expectation that anyone would go to the cop to cut new deals _ on fossil fuels is not only contrary and egregious to what a - conference of the parties on climate change is. - it is, frankly, a betrayal of that very process. i neither the azeri cop 29 team or socar offered any response to our request for comment. the un did not comment directly, but stressed its requirement for impartiality from all officials. last year, the bbc obtained leaked documents which revealed plans by the uae to use its role as host of cop 28 to strike oil and gas deals. yet, for the first time, the world agreed the need to transition away from fossil fuels.

it shows progress could still be made at cop 29. justin rowlatt, bbc news. an iranian national who bragged that he was the best people—smuggler has been jailed for 17 years, after arranging small—boat crossings from his home in lancashire. 34—year—old amanj hasan zada organised three separate crossings from france to the uk late last year, but investigators believe he was involved in many more. here's our north of england correspondent danny savage. he was feted as being the best smuggler, but it wasn't drugs or goods he was moving, amanj hasan zada was sending a different commodity, humans, from the middle east across europe to the uk. this social media video was believed to have been filmed in iraq in 2021. the song was about him being

a master of his illegal trade, with the obligatory guns and glamour. it all ended in a street in preston in may this year when a major operation by the national crime agency saw the 34—year—old iranian national arrested. today he was convicted and jailed. it demonstrates how we can work internationally, our reach is global in its scope, we have a number of officers embedded with law enforcement organisations around the world, through those conduits we are able to work in collaboration with our partners. he drummed up trade by posting positive reviews on social media from clients. these trafficked people talk of the individual who helped them, an alias for the man convicted today who himself came here illegally and was granted asylum in 2019. today he was sentenced

to 17 years in prison. a case the government will point to as a success story against people smugglers. danny savage, bbc news. a father and daughter who survived the manchester arena bombing have been awarded £45,000 in damages from a man who claimed the attack was staged. martin hibbert was paralysed from the waist down by the attack; his daughter eve who was 1a at the time suffered brain damage. they sued richard hall for harassment after he published videos and a book claiming the attack was a government hoax and that the pair were what he called "crisis actors". parents are paying over the odds for baby milk formula because of a lack of competition in the market, according to the competition and markets authority. baby formula manufacturing is dominated by just three firms, nestle, danone and kendamil, who account for 90% of sales. our business correspondent marc

ashdown has the story. not everyone can or wants to breastfeed. so infant formula is used by millions of new parents, like here in glasgow. even if people are still breastfeeding and formula feeding, it's still something that people are talking about. because it does — it adds up. it's often security tagged which must mean that people are having to steal it to to use it, which is a bit sad. i think itjust needs to be made simple because essentially- it's all the same stuff, just being marketed . or priced differently. the competition and markets authority agrees with that. its interim report into the baby formula market found too many people are unwittingly paying too much. it said there's a lack of clear and impartial information available for parents and carers. there's limited competition on prices. tight regulations mean promotions like loyalty points or discounts are banned and over a two—year period, pricesjumped between 18% and 36%, depending on the brand. the report found parents

could save up to £500 a year by buying cheaper. the prices of most infant formula are so high that they're unaffordable for many families, and that leads some families to resorting to really harmful practices which could harm their baby's health, like watering down formula, for example. so action is needed to try and bring down the price of infant formula across the board and in the long term. the watchdog also wants to see stricter rules around marketing and branding, with an end to potentially confusing words on packaging like "premium" or "advanced". that's because, by law, all infant formula has to meet a child's nutritional needs, so paying extra for a product doesn't mean it will be any better. the current regulations help to ensure breastfeeding isn't discouraged, which the nhs says is healthier. but the unintended consequences has seen consumers often paying over the odds. after a year, i think only 0.5% of mothers are still breastfeeding in this country, compared to 23% in germany and 27% in the us.

so it hasn't worked as a policy, and all it's done is raise the cost of formula for parents. three companies — danone, nestle and kendamil — account for 90% of the market. all say they will engage with the upcoming consultation. the regulator hasn't ruled out the possibility of price controls in future to prevent parents being exploited by ever—increasing prices. marc ashdown, bbc news. the former england cricketer lord botham has survived a fall into a crocodile infested river during a fishing trip in australia's northern territory. lord botham, wearing the white t—shirt, was rescued by merv hughes, his ashes rival, who's been a friend since they played against each other in the 1980s. ian botham, who's 68, said he'd only suffered bruising in the incident. he said he fell into the moyle river because his flip—flops got tangled in a rope as he tried to board a boat.

of archers fans, the familiar voice of peggy. let's be fair, he's a bit of a plodder, isn't he? when she first took on the role, clement attlee was prime minister and she thought it might tide her over for a few weeks. we were given a three—month contract and we thought, oh, well, it's only a sort of small thing. we can do lots of other work. it was an interesting, interesting little job. yes. i'm sure you think it's easy to fool me. this little job turned into something rather bigger. june spencer spent the next 72 years playing peggy. june's character was originally married to jack archer. his explanations of rural ways to his london—born wife was a way of introducing pressing agricultural issues into the plot. over the years, june saw her character gradually develop from left—wing new arrival

to wealthy matriarch. # happy birthday to you...# and in 2019, june celebrated her 100th birthday, still a member of the archers' cast. i hope you don't mind me saying this, but you don't seem quite yourself. over 72 years and more than 19,000 episodes, june spencer, a part of ambridge life from the very beginning. the archers theme song june spencer, who's died at the age of 105. to mark remembrance sunday this weekend, an exhibition of silhouettes representing the 1,475 service personnel killed on d—day is on display in buckinghamshire. the handmade figures have recently been returned to the uk from normandy. john maguire has been speaking to one world war two veteran — 99—year—old bert courtney.

i wonder what she looks like from the front." so we went past her and i looked in the mirror, the brakes. the brekes went on? yeah, the brakes went on, i stopped and she came up said, "where are you going?" and partly in german, partly in english i said, "i will meet you tonight," and she said, "ok." so i met her and from then on we were a couple. never stopped again. melita had left her hometown, fleeing the occupying russian troops. among bert�*s treasure trove, photos and documents, is the telegram telling him his wife—to—be would arrive from germany the next day. and a bill. oh, so you had to pay for her...?

yeah. for her transport. and if i didn't marry her i would have had to pay for her to go back! so i married her. i thought that was a better deal. bert in his demob suit and melita in a borrowed wedding dress were married for 65 years until her death in 2013. they had found love in the chaos of war, an all—too—precious thing, the memories of which are cherished to this day. john maguire, bbc news, 0xfordshire. an initiative to save one of scotland's most endangered species of tree has been launched in the cairngorms national park. aspen provide a vital habitat for rare wildlife, plants and fungi, and is one of scotland's most important native trees. it was once common, but deforestation and overgrazing has caused it to largely disappear from the landscape. time for a look at the weather. here's sarah keith—lucas

thanks, i sound like a broken record but it has been yet another day of dry, settled weather out there but a lot of cloud, so fairly gloomy, grey conditions for many of us, not everywhere, this was the picture in dorset, there has been a bit of sunshine around and best of any sunshine around and best of any sunshine has been across parts of northern scotland like recent days in a beautiful view over ben nevis here. if we think about how much sunshine there's been so far this november, for some of us, in hampshire, not a single minute of sunshine but fife has had 816 minutes of sunshine so far this november, so huge contrasts. where you are sat under the cloud at the moment you are probably going to keep it for much of the weekend so the rest of this evening and overnight, a blanket of cloud, clearer spells across parts of scotland and in the north and west in particular it will allow some fairly dense fog patches, so a murky start to saturday because parts of scotland with the mist and fog. fairly chilly start underneath all the cloud. it will brighten up in

places.
