to go on and important if you want to go on and achieve some great things. and it starts from all of us. only from the player but coaches as well. and i sit in the indian cricket with the bed of talent there is we will always be in safe hands, there may be times we may not get the results and will have to be patient and more importantly, if you're only criticising young players, we must give them time to as well. well there's a much more optimistic atmosphere in the australian squad — as they go into the final test knowing they can't lose the series. all rounder beau webster will make his debut in place of mitch marsh. captain pat cummins says they're fully focused on one more victory to seal the series in style. it's always the preferred position that you go into every test match trying to win so it is no doubt, no different this week. again, really happy with the last three test matches, how the boys have played. we have shown for most, we have been the front runner and the goal this

week is to keep it up. that's about all we've go time for on sportsday this evening. more reaction from rangers 3—0 win over celtic available on the bbc sport website. still goal between and dundee united. —— goalless. you'll also find the latest on trent alexander arnold's future. that's bbc.co.uk/sport but from all of us here at the bbc sport centre, thanks forjoining us, hope to see you again soon. you are watching bbc news. people so mumbling suspects could face travel bands and social media blackouts and new laws into cracking down on organised immigration crime. it comes after new figures showed the number of migrants who crossed the english channel in small boats — was up by a quarter in 2024 compared

to the previous year. our home editor mark easton has more. 2024 was the deadliest year for those migrants trying to cross the channel in small boats. the french authorities say around a third of the 77 who lost their lives last year were children, including a i7—month—old baby. now, the refugee council is calling on the home office to make saving lives a priority for its border security command. alongside the measures to disrupt the smuggling gangs, the agency wants the uk to support improved search and rescue operations along the french coast. our message is very clear. there is a role for enforcement, but enforcement and disrupting the gangs and the people smugglers will not, in and of itself, stop people taking dangerous journeys and will stop people losing their lives. there also need to be far more legal routes for people from the likes of sudan, fleeing a brutal civil war or tyrannical rule in afghanistan, don't have to get into boats, don't have to dice with death crossing the channel.

the home office accepts that efforts to disrupt the smuggling gangs have resulted in flimsier and more overcrowded dinghies taking to the water, but insists the department is focused on saving lives, as well as protecting britain's borders. these interim orders are about being able to act much more quickly against potential people smugglers. these are criminal gangs that are undermining our border security and putting lives at risk, and they must be stopped. police. yes? this week, three members of an organised crime group involved in smuggling thousands of migrants into europe and across the channel were arrested in the uk, following a joint operation between the national crime agency and belgian authorities. they now face extradition to belgium, where they've already been convicted in their absence. just the kind of international cooperation and tough policing the government sees as key to defeating the criminal gangs. the home office has announced new court orders will be available in england and wales to limit

the activities of those suspected, but not convicted of serious criminality in the channel. but the desperation of those determined to seek asylum in the uk means stopping the boats is both difficult and dangerous. mark easton, bbc news. after a difficult 12 months, the royal family may well be looking forward to a fresh, new year. in 2024 both the king and the princess of wales were diagnosed with cancer, and there were more revelations about prince andrew. so what could 2025 have in store for them? our correspondent charlotte gallagher has been looking ahead. if 2024 was a year of unexpected and unsettling news, the royals are hoping 2025 will bring a return to normality. the king is still being treated for cancer, but it's clear he's enjoying public events, speaking to crowds and meeting people — notjust here in the uk, but across the world.

successful trips to australia and samoa were "a perfect tonic," according to buckingham palace, and the king and queen are expected to return to a normal schedule of overseas trips this year. the destinations of those trips haven't been confirmed yet. but there is speculation the king and queen will visit india, pakistan and bangladesh in 2025 because a previous tour of those countries was postponed following the death of the king's mother, queen elizabeth. and there's talk of a trip closer to home, somewhere here in europe. and we'll see state visits here at buckingham palace. could donald trump return to london after the inauguration? we know he enjoyed his last state visit, even proudly showing off photos. he met with prince william in paris in december, calling the heir to the throne "a good man". the government will know that the royal family will play a key role in wooing the incoming us president and strengthening the special relationship. in 2024, the king and the prince

of wales played key roles in commemorations to mark the 80th anniversary of d—day. both are expected to feature in the 80th anniversaries of ve and vj day this year. prince william will also continue his environmental work and campaigning with his annual earthshot prize. the princess of wales stepped back into the spotlight in june last year. trooping the colour was her first public appearance of the year, and the first since she announced that she was undergoing chemotherapy. we can expect to see more of her this year, but of course it all depends on how she's feeling. it won't be a full diary of events for the princess of wales yet, but it's likely she will want to continue her work with early years children. it's something she enjoys and obviously feels passionate about. it's likely that she will also play some part in world war ii anniversaries. but her return to public life is being led by her and what she feels ready

to commit to. she has finished her course of preventative chemotherapy, but has said that the path to healing and full recovery is long. and what does the year hold for the royals who chose to step away from public duties and the one who was forced to? prince harry and his wife meghan have made their home in california, living very different lives to the rest of the royals. they're keen to promote their charitable work and there's still a huge amount of public interest in them. it's likely prince harry will be back in the uk this year for court cases — his legal battle with the sun newspaper and the row over who pays for his security. and then there's prince andrew. 2024 ended with his relationship with an alleged chinese spy exposed, and the suggestion he may have endangered national security.

he was missing from the royal family's christmas celebrations at sandringham, and there will be an overwhelming desire from buckingham palace for him to stay out of the headlines. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. the oscar winning, british film—maker asif kapadia, is bringing cinema audiences an unsettling look at what the future may bring. tom brook reports. it isa it is a docudrama about relay figures with the imagined dystopian world with the so—called new san francisco of the future. for the film maker it is an attempt to get audiences to confirm what he sees as an impending crisis in the world. something seems to be going on there seems to be this push towards

authoritarianism to the destruction of the climate and the planet, technology, surveillance, all of these different things which were happening which i was feeling uncomfortable and nervous about, scared. and somehow all i wanted to do was put it all together in a film where it is not a central character were about one place or one theme or by the actor, i went to to deal with it on a global level.— it on a global level. there is a narrative _ it on a global level. there is a narrative thread _ it on a global level. there is a narrative thread where - it on a global level. there is a narrative thread where active | it on a global level. there is a l narrative thread where active or plays a mournful survivor of the near future global catastrophe. inspired partly by a french film—maker set in a post—apocalyptic paris, the documentary is intended as a cautionary tale for contemporary audiences of a warning or popular disastrous event of a global magnitude he wants to rattle people. global magnitude he wants to rattle --eole. ., , global magnitude he wants to rattle --eole. .,, ~' global magnitude he wants to rattle --eole. .,, ~ ., global magnitude he wants to rattle --eole. ~ ., , people. people like war films, the

be true but you certainly addressing unsettling reality hello. well, we didn't have to wait very long in the new year to see a sharp, cold snap of weather. and for many of us, that will bring plenty of blue skies and sunshine today. others will see a bit of snow, like here in aberdeenshire. either way, we've got these bitterly cold arctic winds spreading their way across the uk, bringing temperatures that are barely getting above freezing, most of us having dry weather and sunshine with a few showers draped around coastal areas. there will be a few more snow showers coming in across northern areas of scotland, and temperatures barely getting above freezing. factor in that brisk north westerly wind it feels bitter outside. overnight tonight, probably some showers merging to give some longer spells of snow in inland parts of scotland. so a few more centimetres here around coastal areas of scotland. probably a bit more of a wintry mix. there'll probably be a bit of rain and sleet

mixed in there as well. a widespread frost — lowest temperatures down to about minus six. and tomorrow expect another day of blue skies and sunshine after a cold and frosty start for many. there will be further showers, though, again around coastal districts, some of these coming in as rain and sleet in towards some of our irish sea coasts. now heading into this weekend, we've got a cold and frosty start to the day on saturday. then a shield of cloud is going to spread across england and wales, so it will feel very cold, with very little in the way of sunshine through the afternoon, just two or 3c. a bit of brighter weather further north, but again some showers around and temperatures not getting much above freezing. it's heading through saturday night, sunday and into monday that some areas of the uk are looking at big trouble from this area of low pressure. the low pressure, though, will have a sharp dividing line in air mass. to the north, it's cold enough to see snow down to sea level. to the south, any snow turns back to rain. you'd have to be up a mountain 2,500m high to see snowfall through the afternoon on sunday. we don't have any of those, so expect the weather to turn pretty wet.

could be a bit of freezing rain bringing icy conditions across north wales for a time, but it's this zone where the snow becomes really slow moving and persistent that we need to really pay attention to because through sunday and into monday, some areas could see around 20 to 40cm of snow over the hills, drifting around in the strong winds and that would likely cut off communities and bring some severe disruption. this boundary could change a little over the next few days. it's 7pm in london. this is the world today with maryam moshiri. the fbi says it now believes the driver behind the new orleans terror attack was acting alone. he'd also posted videos online proclaiming allegiance to the islamic state group. let me be very clear about this point. this was an act of terrorism. it was premeditated and an evil act. and— and an evil act. i'm carl and and an evil act. i'm carl nasman, live in new and i'm carl nasman, live in new orleans, where this city is

conference. let's take you there live.
