and making sure a tragedy like this cannot happen again. anna foster, bbc news. while a motive for the attack is still unclear, our security correspondent, frank gardner has been looking into the suspect — taleb al—abdulmohsen — and alleged warnings from the saudi government about him. they say that they passed four so—called "notes verbales". these are official diplomatic notifications that they sent from saudi arabia to germany. i don't have the dates of them, unfortunately, but they sent three of them to german intelligence agencies and one of them to the german foreign ministry, warning, they say, about taleb al—abdulmohsen�*s extreme views that he held. now, there are two sides to this. there is a view taken by at least one respected counterterrorism expert that i know of, who's saying that this is something of a bit of a disinformation campaign. he's even saying that this is the saudis trying to blacken his name — well, it's pretty black right now, obviously — but trying to say that here was somebody that was dangerous back then. why?

because he was allegedly trying to help a number of people who had left saudi arabia, were dissident, political dissidents, or people trying to turn their back on their islamic faith — saudi arabia being very much a monolithic one faith country, islam — and this man taleb al—abdulmohsen had left his religion of his birthplace. so, in islam, you are not supposed to leave your religion and he has turned into somebody that the german federal interior minister ms faeser as referred to as an islamophobe. and certainly, some of the text — some of the tweets that he posted and are being reported in german media are exactly that, islamophobic. so, there are two sides to this, but it does seem that the saudi authorities were concerned about this man's extreme views.

rebecca schonenbach is a counter extremism consultant based in berlin. she told us more about what the german authorities have uncovered so far about the suspect. he was an advocate for re— migration, he was a staunch critic, not only of islam but any sort of migration to germany but particularly, the migration of muslims, of muslim countries and he favoured people who were known as critics of islam, not only of islamist but of islam such as tommy robinson in great britain. he retreated some of elon musk takes. he didn't particularly retweet

all the right—wing extremism theories, so it does not seem that his whole world view was right—wing extremism. he also tweeted a lot about sexual abuse, he tweeted a lot about women's rights — some facts that are really to be criticised for anybody advocating for women's rights, but he mixed with theories, with conspiracy, but most outstanding where his own perception of the german state, of the treatment of refugees, of the german police, and he even accused his own lawyers to have betrayed him. the us military says it has shot down one of its own planes over the red sea, during operations against the houthis in yemen. it said the navyjet was hit by fire from a guided missile cruiser after taking off from an aircraft carrier. both pilots ejected and were rescued. an earlier statement said us forces carried out air strikes against houthi targets in the yemeni capital, sanaa, and shot down drones and an anti—ship missile. earlier on saturday, israel reported intercepting a drone that entered its airspace, hours after a missile fired by the houthis struck tel aviv, injuring 16 people. the houthis have been attacking israel — and shipping in the red sea — in support of the palestinians

in gaza. hamas and two other palestinian armed groups say that a ceasefire agreement with israel is closer than ever if israel does not impose new conditions. a hamas official has said talks in cairo on friday had made significant progress, with most terms related to a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreed upon. the announcement comes amid continued israeli assaults on gaza. airstrikes on two houses in the nuseirat refugee camp and deir al—balah city in central gaza killed at least 10 people, including two children. with me is said shehata from bbc arabic. first of october gaza, another attack, report on attack on a school? ,, ., ., ., .

school? several attacks in israeli striking _ school? several attacks in israeli striking several - israeli striking several school, not on in deir al—balah but in the kaiser north and someone was killed and injured. in these scores are used as left for these basic — displaced people, they were forced to leave the home because of the water soak the civil defence and the palestinian accusing israel —— because of the war. and targeting the terrorist, the school as solidity to launch an attack on the israeli army. so the result is, more people killed and no more than 16,000 people killed in gaza since october last year, more than 100,000 injured, most of people in gaza are displaced in gaza. the programme warne —— warning everyone in gaza so there is talks about pushing for the

about stopping aid. the cross points as well so excluded by some israeli so there is some progress on some points but it's taking time and other issues. so hopefully, it can help because the situation in gaza is grim and horrible. share gaza is grim and horrible. are us attack _ gaza is grim and horrible. are us attack on _ gaza is grim and horrible. are us attack on the _ gaza is grim and horrible. are us attack on the houthis as well, tell us about that? than well, tell us about that? an american/ _ well, tell us about that? in american/ missile drones, well, tell us about that? fifi american/ missile drones, it weakened the with the threat to israel because a few days ago, they strike a missile which it was not intercepted by the defence which was making israel thinking about the houthi thread and they talked about how can we stop them because according to the israeli media, there was more than 270 missile is launched at israel and more than 170 drones and some of

them caused injuries. because in tel aviv as well so there is talk about how to contain the houthis and supporting the yemeni government to fight on the ground because it seems since october last year, it's very hard to stop them. thank ou ve very hard to stop them. thank you very much- _ president biden has signed a spending bill into law averting a partial shutdown of the us government. in a statement, mr biden said the deal represented a compromise in which neither side got everything each wanted. he welcomed funding in the bill for hurricane and other disaster relief. the bill makes no reference to lifting the limit on how much the government can borrow — a measure which donald trump wanted in place before he returns to the white house on january 20. catie edmondson is the new york times congressional correspondent and she told us there was some disatisfaction in washington over interference by president—elect trump. i think it's no secret that house republicans in particular have been very deferential over

the years to present electrons policy preferences but a number of them particularly the senior lawmakers were quite frustrated to see that president—elect trump, not only interfered in this process in a major way but did so so late in the game. speakerjohnson negotiated a speaker johnson negotiated a deal with speakerjohnson negotiated a deal with democrats, that seem to be the vehicle in which we were going to be able to avert a shutdown anyone musk and present electrons weighed in in the middle of the weekjust days before the shutdown deadline and change the entire thing. let's get some of the day's other news now. authorities in nigeria have warned charities distributing aid during the festive season to involve the police after two deadly crushes on saturday at such events. at least 20 people are reported to have died in anambra state, in the south east of the country where a charity was giving out rice. at a similar event, at a catholic church in the capital abuja, at least ten more people died. a bus crash in brazil has killed more than 30 people. it happened in the south—eastern state of minas gerais. officials say the driver lost

control of the vehicle after a tyre burst. according to witnesses, it crossed the carriageway into the oncoming lane, collided with a truck and caught fire. the bus had reportedly begun itsjourney in sao paulo. albania has announced its banning tiktok for at least a year. the government's been considering the move since a teenager was stabbed to death last month by a classmate. the dispute allegedly began on social media. tiktok says it's seeking urgent clarification of the proposed ban. the ukrainian boxer oleksandr usyk has won the biggest bout in boxing — the men's world heavyweight title, beating britain's tyson fury. the ukrainian won on points after a thrilling 12—round contest in saudi arabia, with all threejudges giving him victory. usyk set the pace for most of the fight, landing more punches than his british opponent. it's the second time he's beaten tyson fury. let's speak to someone who was at the fight — oleksandr chepilko — founder of lucky punch boxing media.

thank you for being with us, what did you make of the fight? thank you for having me me in this early morning. it was very good fight, very tough fight and it was a close one as the first one. just part of the fight that it was tyson fury, definitely, maybe three, four rounds, it was tyson fury but after, oleksandr usyk moving forward made pressure and definitely the end of the fight, from nine, eight rounds, maybe 12 rounds, it's all for oleksandr usyk an judges scorecards, oleksandr usyk anjudges scorecards, unanimous decision, it's the right decision so i agree with them. tyson fury decided to come in quite heavy, was that a disadvantage, do you think? i don't think that he was quite heavy because he was in boots, injackets, and everything so i believe it was

not 25 kg between them. i think it may be, maybe 17 or maybe something that. before the first fight, tyson was 180 kilograms an hour, he maybe was 127 but it was less so i think it's not so big advantage for him and i sentjust doing what he wants, what he plans to do but unfortunately, for him and for british brands, oleksandr usyk has more skills, has more power and he is really one of the legends now in the world of boxing. the legends now in the world of boxina. ~ ., ., the legends now in the world of boxina. ~ . ., i. the legends now in the world of boxina.~ ., ., boxing. what would you say the difference was _ boxing. what would you say the difference was between - boxing. what would you say the difference was between this - difference was between this fight in the 16 months ago? i think the fighters, before the second fight, they know each other very well. so, we can see during the fight, between the first fight and oleksandr usyk

an tyson fury make some cynics on how to box against each other, what to do in the first round but last night, they start boxing from the first round, from the first second of the first round so, they are going forward, they are pushing each other, they do will throw a lot of punches so i think because this fight, meaning them they have more experience about each other�*s as the first. about each other's as the first. ~ ., , about each other's as the first. ~ . , ., ., first. what is next to both of these fighters? _ first. what is next to both of these fighters? i _ first. what is next to both of these fighters? i think- first. what is next to both of these fighters? i think for i these fighters? i think for oleksandr— these fighters? i think for oleksandr usyk— these fighters? i think for oleksandr usyk next, - these fighters? i think for oleksandr usyk next, i i these fighters? i think for i oleksandr usyk next, i think it's sure to bring back his belt, and now, another has his belt, and now, another has his belt but he will fight against someone else. after it, we will see, if usyk we'll find him or if you will come back to the other division and collect all

belts there as he told before this fight. for tyson fury, i'm not sure, he has to rest a little bit and as i know, all british fans want to know tyson fury against anthonyjoshua, why not? let's see it. fury against anthony joshua, why not? let's see it.- why not? let's see it. thank ou why not? let's see it. thank you very _ why not? let's see it. thank you very much _ why not? let's see it. thank you very much indeed. - why not? let's see it. thank| you very much indeed. thank why not? let's see it. thank - you very much indeed. thank you forjoining us. blake lively has filed a legal complaint against her �*it ends with us' co—star justin baldoni alleging sexual harassment and a campaign to "destroy" her reputation. according to the legal filing, she accused mr baldoni and his team of attacking her public image after a meeting to address what she described as "repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behavior" by mr baldoni and a producer on the movie. mr baldoni's legal team told the bbc the allegations are "categorically false" and said they hired a crisis manager because ms lively had threatened to derail the film unless her demands were met. let's speak to the entertainmentjournalist kj matthews who's in los angeles.

she accuses him of sexual harassment too, doesn't she? what stands out to you in this case because there's a lot in there, a lot of allegations in this conduct?— this conduct? there is absolutely _ this conduct? there is absolutely a _ this conduct? there is absolutely a lot - this conduct? there is absolutely a lot to - this conduct? there is| absolutely a lot to one this conduct? there is - absolutely a lot to one pack in this little complained that blake lively has filed stop the main things are — is basically saying her co—star, and director, justin baldoni, and one of the coproducers, sexually harassed her and made inappropriate comments on said to her. she is saying in the complaint that after complaining to them and holding a meeting in which her husband ryan reynolds who has nothing to do with the film was in that meeting, they retaliated against her and that she said that they hired a crisis pr team, basically to plant misinformation about her out there and to ruin her reputation that they really launch a specific and orchestrated campaign to basically take her down. and

the evidence that she submits in this legal filing is that basically, she was able to get her hands on text messages between the publicists and a crisis pr member and one of the text, they basically said, i'm having reckless thoughts about want to plan pieces about how horrible blake lively is to work with and one of the other crisis pr people responded to her, i've already spoken of the wreck of the daily mail so, she is using these text messages in her legal complain to basically illustrate that they really sought to ruin her right around the time that the movie was being released and around the time that they were doing this worldwide pr blitz to promote the film and he was the evidence that it was happening behind her back is what she is ulogie. behind her back is what she is ulouie. , , ., ., ulogie. this is a legal filing, what you — ulogie. this is a legal filing, what you expect _ ulogie. this is a legal filing, what you expect to - ulogie. this is a legal filing, what you expect to happen l ulogie. this is a legal filing, - what you expect to happen next? a lot of this will be settled

and will not go to a full—blown lawsuit and that neither side wants that but i think already, there has been fallout, we are seeing justin baldoni's talent agency drop him immediately after this article came out about her filing this legal complain and now they are represented, blake lively and just in are represented by the same talent agency here in hollywood however, that talent agency still representing blake lively but they drop just in so, be choosing to what happens next but especially with his career, he has already bought the rights to the first book and the sequel to this film so it'll be very interesting to see if the sequel gets made and if so, whether or not he is still a part of that.- still a part of that. you mention _ still a part of that. you mention the _ still a part of that. you mention the impact . still a part of that. you - mention the impact already still a part of that. you mention the impact already on justin baldoni's career, what about blake lively? how will it affect her work? i about blake lively? how will it affect her work?— affect her work? i think you miaht affect her work? i think you might have _ affect her work? i think you might have her, _ affect her work? i think you might have her, looking - affect her work? i think you - might have her, looking better, to be honest, because during

the time that they were out promoting this film, there was a lot of negative comments being made on social media and in certain articles about her behaviour or about how she was acting towards journalists and it just wasn't positive acting towards journalists and itjust wasn't positive and a positive light on her. i think once people read this entire legal complain, page to page and read the entire article that's been put out on the new york times, it gives a little bit more of an understanding of why she may have been responding that way or what was happening behind—the—scenes because i think a lot of people do not understand that she felt that there was this really orchestrated campaign being lodged against and i think if anything, it might make her look better.— look better. thank you very much indeed _ look better. thank you very much indeed for _ look better. thank you very much indeed for talking - look better. thank you very much indeed for talking to l look better. thank you very i much indeed for talking to us through that. the world renowned opera singer maria callas is the subject of a new film, maria, starring hollywood actress angelina jolie. it focuses on her final years, in the 19705, when she was living in paris. with angelina jolie taking

on acting roles relatively rarely in recent years, the film has provided something of a comeback narrative for her. here's our culture reporter noor nanji. one of the world's greatest opera singers, maria callas. now the subject of a new film as she lived out her final days in paris. it stars angelina jolie, who learned to sing opera for the role. one of the greatest privileges to being an actor is you often are supported by a crew to try something and explore something you've never done and you can learn. so — but this one certainly was the most challenging. one of maria's most famous performances was as tosca in covent garden in 1964. but she also courted

controversy. after an affair with the greek shipping magnate aristotle onassis, the paparazzi hounded her. have you talked to mr onassis? i talk to all my friends. i am answering no more questions. she was characteristically defiant. i don't read the criticisms because, you see, i know exactly what i do before anybody tells me. but the best critic is the public. angelina jolie's two eldest sons, pax and maddox, worked as production assistants on the film. it was good to to have your children watch your mum not do something easily but they've seen me go through many things but they — but they hadn't experienced me expressing a lot of the pain that usually a parent hides from a child. your voice will not return. vocal decline, possibly caused by dramatic weight loss, led to the premature end of maria's career. maria callas spent her last years living largely in isolation.

she died of a heart attack at the age of 53 on september 16th, 1977. crowds lined the streets to pay their respects. we've all been through joy, love, pain. we've all been through the most quite deep human experiences and often, there isn't a sound that we've been able to let come out that matches what we feel. opera does. noor nanji, bbc news. book me a table at a cafe where the waiters know who i am. i'm in the mood for adulation. millions of spaniards have queued to buy tickets as spain's christmas lottery draw begins later this morning. it's known as "el gordo", which translates to "the fat one" in english, and it has a total prize pot of 2.7 billion euros. thousands of lucky ticket holders will win a share — with the biggest individual prize reaching 400,000 euros.

stay with us here in bbc news. bye for now. hello. saturday was a very showery and very windy winter solstice. let's take a look at some of the gusts of wind that we saw during the day on saturday — between around 60 to 80 mph, particularly around exposed coasts and hills in the north and the west, too. south uist at 82 miles an hour was the windiest spot in the hebrides. now, for sunday, we've got more of the same — gusty winds and wintry showers for some of us, and there could be some travel disruption on the cards. low pressure sits to the northeast of the uk. we've got these winds funnelling in from the northwest, bringing us plenty of showers. gusts of wind of 60 to 70 mph across parts of scotland, especially in the northwest, but elsewhere, we could see 50 to 60 mph gusts for western parts of england and wales, 40—50 mph towards the east. so, plenty of showers, as you can see, blown in on that breeze. they will be a little bit wintry for the likes

of the pennines, the peak district, the hills of wales and the north of scotland in particular. most of the showers turning back to rain later in the day blown in with those very strong winds. further the south and east, a lot of dry weather on the cards but it is not going to feel warm — around 6—8 degrees but feeling colder when you add on that northwesterly wind and those showers with a bit of a wintry flavour to them. now, later on sunday into monday, the next front approaches from the west but we've also got higher pressure trying to ridge in. still windy at first on monday towards the east but the winds will ease through the day. some sunshine holding on for central, southern and eastern parts but clouding over from the west with some patchy rain later on. eight or nine degrees, the warmest spots down towards the southwest but for most of us, another fairly chilly feeling day — around 4—7 degrees. but as we head towards christmas eve on tuesday and christmas day on wednesday, that much milder air spills its way in from the southwest, so temperatures are going to be on the up. christmas eve, we're looking at now — tuesday. quite a lot of cloud —

low cloud, perhaps some hill fog, a little bit of drizzle, especially towards the west. but temperatures back up at around 12 or 13 degrees for most of us. we could see 1a anywhere to the east of higher ground. and a similar picture for christmas day as well. it's not going to be a white christmas, if you were crossing your fingers for one of those. rather grey, actually. quite a lot of cloud. some holes in the cloud. i think, not a bad day. most of us dry, perhaps a little rain in the far northwest. temperatures 11 or 12, so probably not quite as warm on christmas day as it will be on christmas eve. looks dry into boxing day, too, and then perhaps just a little cooler towards the new year.

this is bbc news. the headlines: german police are trying to establish the motive of a saudi man arrested on suspicion of carrying out friday's deadly attack on a christmas market in magdeburg. five people were killed and more than 200 injured when a car was driven into a crowd. a memorial service was held at magdeburg cathedral on saturday evening for the victims. the service was attended by families, emergency workers and government officials, including german chancellor olaf scholz. a senior palestinian official tells the bbc a ceasefire deal between israel and hamas in gaza is 90% complete. hamas and two other palestinian armed groups have said that a gaza ceasefire deal is "closer than ever", if israel does not impose new conditions. the ukrainian boxer oleksandr usyk has won the biggest bout in boxing —

the men's world heavyweight title, beating tyson fury.
