new orleans on new year's day. jack bech has told the bbc about the hurt of losing "his best friend". many of those who died on bourbon street on new year's eve were in new orleans to celebrate the promise of the year to come. martin "tiger" bech was a former football player at princeton university. 0ur colleague sumi somaskanda has been speaking to his brotherjack, who is himself a football player at texas christian university. jack, thank you forjoining us. i am so sorry for your loss. how are you and your family doing today? we're doing all right. obviously it's pretty tough, you know, losing somebody like my brother. he was such a great person. he had so many friends. if i were to put an announcer, "stand up if you were tiger's best friend," hundreds of people would stand up. it hurts, you know? that was my best friend. looked at him, looked at him, looked up to him for everything. he was my role model,

my inspiration. all i ever wanted to do wasjust make him proud. he was so selfless and kind, resilient. and my parents and my sisters are just have been pretty emotional, as you could think. and, you know, i'vejust tried to been there to be that rock for them. it's definitely been pretty tough, though. i can't imagine how devastating this moment is for you and your family, jack. your family is from louisiana. i understand that tiger was living in new york. so tell us more about what he was doing over the holidays, why he was in new orleans. yeah, he came home for the christmas holidays and new year's from new york for a couple of weeks. and he was working from home. you know, me and him, we were hunting. he was with my family every day. you know, we hunted. we fished. he ate more gumbo than one could ever possibly eat.

he was cooking for us, taking naps with all of us, just hanging out. he was seeing all his friends, people he hadn't seen in so long. and it'sjust, i think god was preparing us for this moment. the way he was just going about it, it was just different, you know? it was the best christmas me and my family have ever had. so very little arguing and disagreeing. we have six people in my family. so, you know, obviously it's a good bit of people to bicker at and stuff, but, you know, this christmas, it just felt different. you know, he saw all these people he hadn't seen in years. it's kind of like he was going on a goodbye tour without even knowing it. and his best friend, whenever i left to go back up to dallas, his best friend ryan, who works with him up in new york, came down for the new year's whenever i left so he would be with him.

and he just wanted to show ryan new orleans, what it was all about, you know, show ryan how much fun the people in louisiana are and, you know, the smiles that they all give off. and, you know, just he wanted to show off how great new orleans was and how great of a place it was — the food, the atmosphere, the people. so him and his friend, his best friend, and my parents went to dinner tuesday night and my parents drove home back to lafayette and my brother and ryan, they went out, and then obviously everything unfolded. jack, you've been talking a little bit about the fact that you spoke to your brother on the phone just hours before new year's eve. can you tell us a bit about that conversation? yeah. you know, it wasjust another phone call. like i said, that's my best friend.

my inspiration, my role model. we talked every day. he was the first person i told about, you know, whatever it was — good, bad, in different. whatever it was — good, bad, indifferent. you know, i talked to him so much. and he... we thought it was going to be another regular conversation. i wasjust showing him... i was at my uncle's house in dallas, and he was in new orleans with my parents eating, and i was showing him what we were eating, and he was showing us what he was eating. but the last words that we ever told each other was, i told him to be safe and that i loved him and he told me how much he loved me. i hung up the phone, and that was the last time i ever spoke with him. tell us a bit more about your brother. you said he's your role model, your best friend, quite the football player — as you are as well. oh, yeah. he was a beast in every way in life. you know, his name was tiger, and it was very, very fitting. you know, he was a go—getter. he was a smaller guy —

5'8, 5'9 — and from a young age, he just fought. he was always a fighter. whatever it was, whether it was in sports, whether it was at... just wherever it may be, in every facet, he was a fighter and his name was tiger. and like i said, it just fit him so much. like i said, he loved louisiana. he loved his family so much, his friends so much. like i said, if i were to ask people to stand up if they thought that they were his best friend, hundreds and hundreds of people would stand up because that's just the type of guy he was. he's touched so many lives and impacted so many lives. and, you know, me and my family, this is something that we're going to have to deal with. you know, every time we wake up and every time we go to sleep, it's going to be something. you know, every holiday, there's going to be an empty seat at the table. but he wouldn't want us to grieve and mourn. you know, he'd want us to keep attacking life. to go

and do what he did — be resilient, charismatic, loving, kind. he'd want us to go be there for each other im all our different endeavours. and he wasjust, like i said, my role model. my family's role model. my family's going to miss him so much. my mom and my dad have done such an awesome job just raising me and my three siblings. you know, we're so close, us three. so many people always tell us they've never seen siblings so close like this ever before. and the first thing i told my parents and my family was... because, like i said, he lives up in new york, and we're just all scattered across the country, and i told them, instead of... instead of only seeing him

a couple of times a year, now he'll be with us in every moment, you know, in every part of our lives. he'll be with us whenever we're waking up, when we're going to sleep, when we're walking, when we're at work, doing whatever. he'll be with us in every single moment now. jack, thank you so much for sharing your story with us. and our condolences go out to you and your family. thank you. yeah, thank you so much. and you can watch the rest of that interview in full from in an hour's time at 11pm gmt, here on bbc news. meanwhile, the fbi say they have a much clearer picture of the events leading up to the attack in new orleans on new year's day. that information leads them to believe that the driver of the truck, military veteran shamsud—dinjabbar, was acting alone. the investigators say jabbar rented the utility truck he used in the attack in houston, texas, on december 30. he then drove it from houston to new orleans, arriving late on new year's eve.

new images released of the incident show the truck driving at high speed down bourbon street, directly at the people standing in his way. just a few hours before the attack, jabbar had posted five videos on his facebook account in which he announced his support for the so—called islamic state. an isis flag was recovered from the back of the vehicle. there were five videos posted on jabbar�*s facebook account which are time—stamped, beginning at 1:29am and the last at 3:02am. in the first video, jabbar explains he originally planned to harm his family and friends but was concerned the news headlines would not focus on the "war between the believers and the disbelievers". the fbi also said they recovered two improvised explosive devices that were left in ice boxes, one on the cross section of bourbon and 0rleans street and the second at an intersection two blocks away. officials now have surveillance footage that shows jabbar placing the devices where they were found.

an address in mandeville, a city near new orleans, is still being searched for potential evidence. we know that he specifically picked out bourbon street. not quite sure why. i mean, i think one can assume that it was lots of people, new year's eve, with a target for an attack. that's the stuff in the coming days, as far as that path to radicalisation, that we're really going to be digging into and making a priority of. so, what i can tell you right now is that he was 100% inspired by isis. us authorities in las vegas say there is no apparent connection linking the attack in new orleans with the explosion of a tesla cybertruck outside the trump international hotel in the city also on new year's day, even though there are some curious similarities. the dead man recovered from the vehicle has been named as matthew alan livelsberger, a 37—year—old green beret who was

with the tenth special forces. he had served in afghanistan and was on leave at the time. he too had crossed state lines, driving the electric tesla cybertruck from colorado to nevada, recharging at various points along the way. the fbi says the vehicle was first spotted on the strip early on new year's day, pulling into the hotel for the first time just after 7am in the morning, and then returning to park in the valet area just an hour later. it exploded 17 seconds after coming to a standstill. the agents said the man inside the tesla had shot himself before it went up in flames. there are a number of things in this case that are similar to the attack in new orleans. we do know that our subject here served in the military. in fact, he's a current member of the military. both of the subjects served at fort bragg, north carolina. what we do know about that is, it's a very large military base

and we have no record that they served in the same unit or even at the same years at fort bragg, something that continues to remain under investigation. 0ur correspondent lilyjamali has this update from the scene. both on new year's day and both people, as you heard there, that served in the military. in fact, the perpetrator, the person believed to have perpetrated the attack here, was an active member. you mentioned he was in the green berets. that's an elite branch of the us military. and then that crossover at fort bragg, and then in afghanistan as well, reportedly in the year 2009. but law enforcement officials being very careful about drawing any conclusions, and i would say really treating both of these incidents as separate. we do not have a motive from law enforcement officials at this point, and i think that is really something that so many people have questions about. 0ne official did say something that i found very striking

during the press conference here in las vegas about an hour ago, they said that it's not lost on them that this incident here in las vegas took place in front of the trump hotel, a trump building, and that it involves a tesla vehicle. the ceo of tesla, of course, is elon musk, who has forged a very close relationship with the president—elect of late. he's been very visible. he's heading up, along with vivek ramaswamy, the department of government efficiency, aimed at cutting back federal spending. and he has not... his presence in this future administration has not been welcomed necessarily by all. lily jamali in las lilyjamali in las vegas lily jamali in las vegas there. 2025 is beginning with a sharp cold snap in the weather, triggering alerts for much of the uk. snow and ice is forecast in parts of the country this weekend, making the clear—up after recent flood damage all the more frustrating, as danny savage explains.

most of the water has drained away, so today was about starting the clear—up. carolyn is a volunteer at this church and cafe in warrington. she's seen it flood before. this happened a few years ago and it almost ruined the building. everything was wrecked. the plaster had to be taken off, replastered and repainted, and it does affect the business and it affects the church, the congregation. and it is disheartening when it keeps happening. a few doors away, this was the scene yesterday. today, the insurers are on site. have you been flooded before? once, in 2021. rosina is thoroughly fed up. i don't want to come back to here. you've had enough. yeah, i've had enough. so it's really stressful, so i thought, oh... that's it, time to move. ..time to move. so yet again, the furniture is raised off the ground and belongings are dumped in gardens. they still can't get their cars out from the cul de sacs beyond this flood. karina was moving out of her sodden semi, resigned to another rebuild.

you're moving out now with your suitcases? yeah, yeah, i'm just going to. we're at our friend's house and kind ofjust need to sort some _ more accommodation now. how long do you reckon you'll be out for? about six months we was, last time. and that's pretty typical. on average, people are out of their homes for about nine months, for it to dry out and to be repaired. so for those affected, it's really onlyjust beginning. the people who had to move out of this building in stockport yesterday are slowly returning to assess the damage. the bridgewater canal in cheshire collapsed, with inevitable consequences — a lack of water now being the problem. three, two, one, go! it might have stopped raining, but snow is now in the forecast. it's already covered parts of northern scotland and is expected much more widely over the weekend. an amber cold weather health alert has also been issued for england until next wednesday.

this signals that people vulnerable to the cold, usually aged over 65, may need specific checks and visits over the coming days. danny savage, bbc news, cheshire. the israeli military says it's killed the head of hamas's internal security forces, in an air strike on a camp for displaced people in gaza. hassam shahwan, who was the territory's deputy chief of police, was among 11 people, including children, who died. hamas has condemned the attack, which it called an "assassination". the strike was on the tented camp at al—mawasi, near the southern city of khan younis. shaimaa khalil has more from jerusalem. walid woke up to the sound of a huge explosion. he called to his sons, but no—one answered. three of his four boys killed by shrapnel in their sleep. ahmed was 13, mohammed,11,

and abdul rahman, seven. they'd wrapped up for some warmth in the cold family tent. now their family says theirfinal goodbye. three young brothers killed in al—mawasi. translation: this is the safe place the army is talking about. _ there's no safe place in gaza. what the occupation claims is blatant lies. this is what gaza's displaced families woke up to — carnage in the place they fled to for safety. woman screams the israeli military says it killed the commander of hamas's internal security service, hussam shahwan, saying he'd helped the group's military wing plan attacks on israeli forces in gaza. the hamas—run interior ministry says the head of police, mahmoud saleh, was also among the dead and accused israel of spreading chaos by killing police officers.

israel has repeatedly attacked this camp at al—mawasi, accusing hamas operatives of hiding among civilians. translation: since the beginning of 2025, there's been a significantl escalation of israeli air strikes across the gaza strip, especially in areas with large civilian gatherings. there was hope that the end of last year would bring a ceasefire agreement and a desperately needed respite for the people of gaza, but this new year begins with yet more bloodshed. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, jerusalem. the duchess of sussex is hosting new lifestyle show on the streaming service netflix. it's the latest commerical venture involving the sussexes, after stepping away from royal duties five years ago, asjoe inwood reports. i've always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it. last year was a difficult one for harry and meghan�*s fledgling media empire. this, it seems, is how they hope to turn their fortunes around. i'm going to share some

little tips and tricks. this trailer, released by the streaming giant netflix, is for her new series with love, meghan. she will, we're promised, reveal how even the most minute details can help add beauty to our lives. but not every project harry and meghan have embarked on has lived up to the hype. hey, it's me. i'm just excited to be myself and talk and be unfiltered. the couple's $20 million podcast deal with spotify ended afterjust 12 episodes, with an executive from the company reportedly calling them "grifters". their documentary about the world of polo received a lukewarm reception. while harry's eye—opening memoir, spare, was a bestseller, it also further damaged already frayed relations with his family. questions about how harry and meghan will fund their lifestyle have been raised ever since they stopped being working royals and lost access to the public purse.

round of applause for... their us lifestyle is not cheap, especially the private security they feel they need. how they choose to fund it, while still maintaining their royal titles, remains of interest to buckingham palace. joe inwood, bbc news. fossilised bones aren't the only way of studying dinosaurs. preserved footprints can also offer an insight into their lives. now, some of the biggest tracks everfound in the uk have been discovered. rebecca morelle reports. footsteps thump following in the footsteps of a jurassic giant. this is where a dinosaur walked 166 million years ago. but it wasn't alone. different trackways crisscross this entire site. they were discovered on the floor of a limestone quarry in oxfordshire by one of the workers. so, i was basically clearing

the clay and i was hitting a hump. so, like, this here? yeah, yeah. as it turned out, it was this front bit i was hitting. and when i got out and examined it, it looked like footprints. and the weird thing about it was, when you sit there, it was like, "i'm the first person to see them." yeah, it was a bit... yeah, a bit of a tingling moment, really. the summer dig revealed 200 footprints, stretching for 150 metres, making it the largest track site ever found in the uk and one of the biggest in the world. the trackways were made by two types of dinosaurs, large plant—eating sauropods and a smaller two—legged dinosaur called a megalosaurus. they lived in a tropical lagoon, but the footprints were covered with sediment, perfectly preserving them. so, the really lovely thing about a dinosaur footprint, particularly if you have a trackway, is that it is a snapshot in the life of the animal. you can learn things about how that animal moved. you can learn exactly what the environment

that it was living in was like. so, tracks give us a whole different set of information that you can't get from the bone fossil record. we're coming up to a dinosaur crossroads. what you have here are footprints from a sauropod, and you can actually see, as it pressed down into the mud, how it created this ridge here. there is also a footprint from a smaller, two—legged, meat—eating dinosaur called a megalosaur. and it was moving in this direction. the question is, which one walked through here first? and scientists think it was the sauropod, because you can see how the smaller megalosaur footprints slightly crushed down this ridge as it was walking through. at the oxford university museum of natural history, a megalosaurus jawbone is one of the world's most precious specimens. the whole animal would have been between six and nine metres in length. and in life, this animal would have had these impressive serrated teeth. these were agile, carnivorous predators. they were the largest predatory dinosaurs in thejurassic period in britain.

the future fate of the trackways hasn't yet been decided. the quarrying will go on here for several years. but palaeontologists think there are more footprints, echoes of our prehistoric past, just waiting to be discovered. rebecca morelle, bbc news, oxfordshire. stay with us on bbc news. hello there. as the wet and windy weather cleared south on new year's day, it opened the door for cold arctic air to spill right across the country and it's going to stay bitterly cold as we head into the weekend. overnight frost and ice could be a risk for some, and there's a potential for some disruptive snow. so we're under this, clearer skies at the moment, showers feeding in across the far north and west, that cold air descending right across the country. so ice could be an issue first thing, particularly along those exposed coasts where we've seen

a rash of showers falling. elsewhere, a frosty start, a cold start, but lots of sunshine to look out for — just like we had this thursday. there will continue to be a feed of showers, particularly down through the irish sea, and some showers of snow in scotland again. temperatures struggling to climb above freezing in some places — generally around 2—4 degrees. now, as we move through the evening once again, those showers will continue to tuck in along those exposed north and west coasts, so icy stretches again at risk. another cold night to come, with temperatures falling below freezing. so a frosty start to saturday. but it's saturday, or the beginning of the weekend, that we really start to see the first signs of this change, and we could see some significant snow developing late on saturday, into the early hours of sunday morning. so a cold, crisp, frosty start, some sunshine around, a few scattered showers into the far north—west. during the afternoon, though, this veil of cloud is spilling across the south—west,

the first signs of this weather front, and that is going to trap that cold air, really making it feel quite bitter. just a couple of degrees above freezing for some of us through saturday afternoon. and so as this weather front through the evening on saturday pushes into that cold air, on the leading edge, we'll see snow. it should turn readily back to rain across central and southern england. but areas like the peak district, the pennines, northern ireland, southern uplands of scotland could see some significant snow and with strong winds, blizzard—like drifting conditions from time to time as well. look at the difference with the temperatures on sunday — double digits down to the south—east, single figures remain in force across scotland. so it's these areas, particularly to higher ground, where there is the potential for some disruptive snow as we move through the weekend. keep watching the forecast.

this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour which is straight after this programme. screams. nadia murad is a nobel peace prize winner, a campaigner, and a survivor of the yazidi genocide. it's been ten years since she was taken captive by the islamic state in iraq and thousands of her people were massacred. but since she's escaped, she's been campaigning relentlessly for victims of war, lobbying governments, top politicians and even hollywood celebrities.

so, we've come to norway, home of the nobel institute, to speak to nadia about her work, fighting forjustice for the yazidi people, and trying to eliminate sexual violence in war. hi. nice to meet you. so nice to meet you. thank you so much. nadia murad, thank you for speaking to 100 women. we're sitting here in the nobel institute in oslo because you are a nobel peace prize winner. you won the award in 2018 jointly for your work advocating for survivors of sexual abuse during conflict. what did that award mean to you? before 2014, i was not

aware of this award. i didn't know that there was something like this that even existed. you know, it was an important recognition but i didn't start telling my story for an award orfor being, you know, recognised by, you know, powerful committees like this one. i started to share my story with the world because of what happened to me and my community and my neighbours and family and my country. in your nobel peace prize acceptance speech, you said you hoped that it would mark "the beginning of a new era "when peace is the priority and the world can collectively "begin to define a new road map to protect women, "children, and minorities from persecution". how do you feel about those words now, six years on? ifeel the same. i say the same words

over and over again. and i know a lot is going on in the world and i know
