you're watching the context on bbc news. could dark chocolate be good for you? a new study suggests it could help prevent type two diabetes. we will explain the significance of that research a little later, but we will look at some other main stories. britain is broken but not beyond repair — that's what the prime minister has been saying as he set out what he's calling his plan for change with a focus on improving living standards, notjust boosting growth. five months after winning the election, he set out six targets — including
9:33 pm
building affordable homes, reducing nhs waiting times and making streets safer and explained how he intends to achieve them. the conservatives have called it a �*desperate attempted relaunch. let's hear some of what sir keir described as the "milestones for this parliament": one — higher living standardsl in every region of the country. as we target the highest sustained growth in- the g7 so working people have more money in their pocket. l the burden of the cost of living crisis no- longer intruding on the joy of theirfamily life. - two — britain rebuilt with 1.5 million new homes. l so the security i enjoyed when i was growing up. i the base camp aspiration of home ownership - doesn't move further- and further away from working
9:34 pm
class families like mine. three — safer streets. more police on the beat. stamping out anti—social- behaviour in every community. because nobody should feel insecure in the streets - that they call home. let's speak to our panel. i was interested in this because five months and we have a prime minister laying out plans for what he wants to do and you may have expected these would either be in a manifesto or things he would've announced on day one, why has it taken so long? i day one, why has it taken so [am ? ~ day one, why has it taken so lona ? ~ . , day one, why has it taken so lon. ? ~ . , ., long? i think it reflects on the general _ long? i think it reflects on the general election - long? i think it reflects on - the general election campaign that labour ran which was minimal_ that labour ran which was minimal on policy and a case of letting — minimal on policy and a case of letting the conservatives mess up letting the conservatives mess up and — letting the conservatives mess up and we will swoop in on their— up and we will swoop in on their coat—tails and that worked _ their coat—tails and that worked for them, but it did leave — worked for them, but it did leave a _ worked for them, but it did leave a void in the public understanding of what the government were going to do now this is_ government were going to do now this is keir— government were going to do now this is keir starmer trying to set his— this is keir starmer trying to set his vision and agenda for the country. admirable the
9:35 pm
things— the country. admirable the things he has to —— proposed, the question will be do they have — the question will be do they have the _ the question will be do they have the bandwidth and capacity to actually deliver it and i think— to actually deliver it and i think keir starmer has had a rough — think keir starmer has had a rough five months is because we heard _ rough five months is because we heard a — rough five months is because we heard a lot — rough five months is because we heard a lot of talk and we had these — heard a lot of talk and we had these six _ heard a lot of talk and we had these six milestones and we have — these six milestones and we have had _ these six milestones and we have had first steps and foundations and missions i think— foundations and missions i think people of had enough of the framing of what they want to achieve and actually went to see some _ to achieve and actually went to see some progress being made atter— see some progress being made after five — see some progress being made after five months and i think ultimately voters will start asking _ ultimately voters will start asking that question. it all sounds _ asking that question. it all sounds great, prime minister but how— sounds great, prime minister but how much progress are be actually — but how much progress are be actually making on this and i think— actually making on this and i think that is what you will be judged — think that is what you will be judged on. think that is what you will be judged on-— judged on. some of this language _ judged on. some of this language is _ judged on. some of this language is used - judged on. some of this language is used by - judged on. some of this - language is used by politicians which is not talking about targets which is by definition quantifiable he will talk about milestone something is ambition or a thing to aim for but there is no way of measuring one actually if they deliver these. here the same topics in the united states and it sounds
9:36 pm
familiar, milestones to quantify things unless you assign a number or target or something to it. but i agree. what matters here in the end is it if you can deliver this. that is what you will be judged on making a promise and a commitment, here are the things you will work armed but delivering those outcomes to the people is all that matters in any election, any government, anything at all and thatis government, anything at all and that is how you either build trust or lose trust. so he will have to continually repeat all of these projects, all of these topics and then show, here's what we said we would do and here's what we're doing and here's what we're doing and here's what we did, i told you i would do this and now you can trust me to the next thing. so that's the process and we'll see if they can deliver. we will watch _ see if they can deliver. we will watch closely. - for now, thank you both. just an update on one story we were bringing you will earlier and concede on the screen there a strong 7.0 magnitude earthquake striking off of the coast of northern california. in itself
9:37 pm
off the coast therefore triggering a tsunami warning in place for a significant period of time, but nonetheless now cancelled. the authorities there are happy that there is no risk along the coastline there. it would've affected about 4.7 million people along the coast of northern california and parts of oregon as well. that was issued and has been cancelled. we have images of some of the impact of it and thankfully, there's not very much. all you have is a bit of a pool and some light swaying in a shop and that is because even though it was a strong earthquake and it was at a relatively shallow depth, there are no reports of any significant damage. the centre of his earthquake was near the northern californian state and there around ten and a half thousand people do not have power but this is the most significant damage we've had so far, a bit of flooding on the side of a pool. but there will
9:38 pm
be a lot of relief, the state governor speaking with emergency responders with no deaths or injuries reported as a result, but nonetheless a significant earthquake at a relatively shallow depth off of the coast of california. there's been evidence for some time that dark chocolate may be good for you. now a new study suggests that consuming dark — but not milk — chocolate may help prevent type 2 diabetes. the study involved data from more than 200,000 adults in the us. it found that among people who ate one serving of dark chocolate — that's around 28 grams — five times a week, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes was 21% lower. however, an increased intake of milk chocolate, rather than dark, was associated with long—term weight gain. according to the world health organisation, around 830 million people globally had diabetes in 2022. i'm joined by the study�*s author, dr qi sun, from the nutrition department at harvard's th chan school of public health.

you are watching the context on now it's time for the panel... this is the part of the show we handle for the control to our panel to control but they discuss so let's head over to mary anne marsh and leon
9:44 pm
emirali. you have been looking at south korea and the response from the people about how that has managed to change things politically, explain what you saw when you were looking at it? i saw when you were looking at it? ., ., , ,., it? i find all of this so insniring _ it? i find all of this so inspiring and - it? i find all of this so inspiring and uplifting it? i find all of this so - inspiring and uplifting that in the middle of the night when martial law was declared in south korea, south koreans across the country left from their beds and went to the capital and helped the legislators get inside so that they could vote against martial law. many of them, as he could tell from the footage, young students, 19, 18, 20 years old and went and lead and it is a reminder at a time when democracies around the world including here in the united states are threatened, that in the and the people have the power. in the end i thought this was a symbolic and important point to make during the holiday season, but for the good of all democracies around the world that the power rests with the people and if you can turn out in a crowd like this
9:45 pm
and take action, take down martial law and six hours, likely be the end of the prime minister who called for it, thatis minister who called for it, that is everything. and i find that is everything. and i find that really helpful.— that is everything. and i find that really helpful. what does it tell us about _ that really helpful. what does it tell us about the _ that really helpful. what does l it tell us about the engagement of young people? you are correct that there are so much criticism that young people are not engaged in politics and don't see the purpose of voting, this is democracy in action. people out on the streets doing this and as you touch on, young people in particular. touch on, young people in particular-— particular. young people especially _ particular. young people especially in _ particular. young people especially in the - particular. young people especially in the recent i especially in the recent election in the united states and elsewhere in the world you have seen the crowds in tel aviv and many other people and places protesting, young people are attuned to all of the challenges we are facing, economically, health care, the cost of living, climate, the environment all of it and they will live with the longer the any of us well so they had decided that they need to take action and take things into their own hands and control their own hands and control their destiny. i'm so encouraged by that. i think
9:46 pm
thatis encouraged by that. i think that is one of the great signs that is one of the great signs that we see around the world is the common denominators of young people taking action to approve not only their lives but the lives of everyone. so interesting i wonder particularly in south korea young people are very aware of the security issues, but also the security issues, but also the engagement in politics because it could be in some cases life or death as well. you are looking at something entirely different, on successfully completing tests delivering things with drones. it is the stuff of science fiction, but coming closer and closer to reality. i fiction, but coming closer and closer to reality.— closer to reality. i have business _ closer to reality. i have business interest - closer to reality. i have business interest in - closer to reality. i have - business interest in drones and i business interest in drones and i find _ business interest in drones and i find it— business interest in drones and i find it a — business interest in drones and i find it a fascinating space and — i find it a fascinating space and i— i find it a fascinating space and i think in particular this is interesting because it is the — is interesting because it is the first— is interesting because it is the first test of its kind in europe _ the first test of its kind in europe and amazon stated that they want trial delivery drones where — they want trial delivery drones where this is happened, but also — where this is happened, but also in — where this is happened, but also in the uk at the end of this— also in the uk at the end of this year _ also in the uk at the end of this year. that does not look likely— this year. that does not look likely the _ this year. that does not look likely the uk is going to get that— likely the uk is going to get that happening on that timeframe, but i think this is something that has the

9:50 pm
that have you on the programme. just a reminder of the main story that we have been following for you, that earthquake that struck off of the coast of california. it was strong, 7.0 on the richter scale a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. it did lead to a snobby warning being issued right along the coastline of oregon and large parts of california and it has since been cancelled and the authorities there reassured that there is no major risk of a huge wave as a result of the earthquake off of the shore in northern california. the authorities keen to make sure there is no significant damage. no reports of injuries or deaths, but we know that one state in northern california has about ten and half thousand residents there still without power some reports as well that some homes may have come off of their foundations some homes may have come off of theirfoundations in one some homes may have come off of their foundations in one of those areas. unfortunately, despite the significant earthquake and the relatively low depth of that, there are no reports of deaths of injuries
9:51 pm
—— deaths or injuries. hello from the bbc sport centre. some more on the row overshadowing the last formula 1 race of the season on the way, but we'lljust update you on the last of the midweek premier league games first. and a huge win for fulham tonight, who climb the table with victory over brighton. marco silva's side took the lead thanks to alex iwobi, who finished the game off late in the second half after brighton had pulled level and an own goal put fulham ahead again. iwobi's second made it 3—1 to the home side, a result which sees fulham up to sixth in the table, just a point behind brighton in fifth. bournemouth are taking on spurs in the night's other game, and it's currently the cherries who lead 1—0 thanks to this goalfrom defender dean huijsen. bournemouth will move into the top half if they hold on. there's around ten minutes
9:52 pm
left to play there. and we've had the draw for the club world cup in miami, with the new—look tournament taking place in united states next summer. champions manchester city and chelsea represent the premier league. eight groups consisting of four teams, with city drawn againstjuventus, morocco's wydad ac and al ain of the uae — the abu dhabi club's president being sheikh mohammed, the brother of city owner sheikh mansour. chelsea face brazilian side flamengo, mexico's club leon and tunisian champions esperance sportive de tunis. all the other groups featuring teams like bayern, psg and real madrid are on the bbc sport website. to formula 1, and the feud that's brewing between britain's george russell and the now four—time champion max verstappen. russell accused verstappen of blocking him dangerously during qualifying at the qatar grand prix last week, a claim that resulted in a stewards�* investigation and verstappen losing pole position to russell. verstappen allegedly saying he would go out of his way to crash into him on purpose. the red bull driver said ahead
9:53 pm
of this weekend's season—ending abu dhabi grand prix that russell had lied and that he had "no regrets" over his comments in doha. i haven't got him disqualified. it almost feels like he expects a double standard, you know, and if it's not going his way then there's no way — and that's not how the sport works. so, i was...as i said, i've known max for 12 years, i've respected him all of this time, but now i've lost respect for him, because we are all fighting on track, and it's never personal. now he's made it personal, and someone needs to stand up to a bully like this, and so far people have let him get away with murder. from my side to max, was not personal. it's part of racing. but the words he said is totally unnecessary. he's crossed a line, and i'm not going to accept it. so, you know, somebody has to stand up to someone
9:54 pm
who thinks he's above the law. three—time 0lympic dressage gold medallist charlotte dujardin has been suspended from all competition for one year following a horse—whipping controversy that saw her withdraw from the paris games. a video was released injuly showing what she described as "an error ofjudgment" during a coaching session. laura scott has more. the fei, which is a cross—sports world governing the fei, which is a equine sports world governing body, received a video representing an anonymous whistle—blower showing dujardin whipping a horse more than 20 times during a coaching session at her private stables. at the time dujardin said she was deeply ashamed of the incident, which had been filmed some years earlier, and she withdrew from the olympics and has since lost sponsors, funding and some of her horses. in the statement, dujardin apologised again, saying, "i understand the responsibility that comes with my position in the sport, and i will forever aim to do better." should she wish to return
9:55 pm
to the sport, there will be challenges to ahead to rebuilding her reputation but the fall from grace for the golden girl of british dressage has had broader ramifications for not just her future because there are fears to what damage it has caused to public trust in the sport. cricket, and new zealand have won the toss and will bowl in the second test against england just about to get under way in wellington. after victory in the first test in christchurch by eight wickets, england have opted not to change a winning formula, with 0llie pope to remain stand—in wicketkeeper and jacob bethell batting at number three. new zealand are also unchanged. you can follow the game with updates on the bbc sport website. just to update you on the football, bournemouth still leaving tottenham 1—0 inside the last ten minutes of that match there. follow it all on the website but that's all of the sport for now. hello there. today, we've had another dose of rain and gusty winds, too, sweeping in from the atlantic.
9:56 pm
things will get worse, though, for the start of the weekend. this is where we see storm darragh arriving, named by the met office. the biggest impacts will come from the strength of the wind, though there's still the risk of flooding with more rain, and there'll be some snow over the scottish hills for a while. this is where darragh is developing in the middle atlantic from this area of cloud here. now, ahead of that, we've had this cloud bringing the rain across the uk, moving quite quickly thanks to gusty winds. so it's heading out of the way overnight. skies will clear. there'll be a few showers for a while, but generally skies are going to be clearing and it will be a cooler night tonight. shouldn't be too cold because there's still a bit of a breeze through the night. greatest risk of a touch of frost will be across some eastern parts of scotland. things will be a little bit quieter for the start of tomorrow with some early sunshine, but it's not going to stay that way because very quickly, actually, it's going to cloud over from the west. and as storm darragh
