in ukraine — kyiv authorities say a night time russian strike has killed three people. it is the second deadly attack on the capital this month, and follows a strike on the city on new year's day. tiktok says it will "go dark" in america on sunday unless the government acts to stop a legal ban coming into effect. on friday, the supreme court upheld legislation banning the video—sharing app unless its chinese owners sell it to an american company. donald trump has indicated he wants to find a way to keep it available. hello, i'm samantha simmonds let's get more from the middle east, where the ceasefire in gaza is due to begin within 2a hours. mediators in qatar have announced it will take effect from 8.30am sunday israel/gaza time - that's 0630 gmt. after hours of discussion, the israeli cabinet gave final

approval to the ceasefire and hostage release deal with hamas. the first hostages are due to be released on sunday, correspondent has more. the stru: . le correspondent has more. the struggle to — correspondent has more. the struggle to get _ correspondent has more. tie: struggle to get this deal done went late into the night and the israeli government broke with protocol and worked into the jewish sabbath with protocol and worked into thejewish sabbath to get this deal finally approved. thejewish sabbath to get this dealfinally approved. it deal finally approved. it wasn't dealfinally approved. it wasn't without controversy. two ministers, one has said that they will resign in protest to they will resign in protest to the deal because he says it lets her mass off the hook. another has said he will resign in six weeks' time if the war does not resume. the deal is going to go ahead. there is some confusion about when it is going to start. the qataris say it will start at 830 local time. we have not had that

confirmed from either the israelis or the palestinian side, but it will happen on sunday and we will see the first of three israeli hostages freed in exchange for palestinian prisoners. we understand the israeli hostages, theirfirst understand the israeli hostages, their first three will be handed over to the red cross and then brought out of gaza and taken to hospital for checkups. we have had the list of palestinian names of the prisoners who are going to be freed and some of them are pretty high—profile. 0ne freed and some of them are pretty high—profile. one man is a former leader of a militant group in the west bank. he was jailed for murder, attempted murder and planting explosives that killed six israelis back in 2002. there is probably going to be some wrangling about how it will proceed but we are waiting until it goes

ahead. the first six—week phase will deal with 33 hostages, including women, children and elderly people exchanged for palestinian prisoners in israeli jails. with the first of those hostages set to be released on sunday, a list of names has been published in a number of israeli media sites. they include the bibas family. there is one—year—old kfir and his five—year—old brother ariel. they are the youngest of those held. they were taken in a kibbutz with their mother. their father was also captured separately. kfir was just nine—months old at the time. now, hamas has said that the children were killed in an israeli air strike. this is emily damari, a british—israeli

citizen, a tottenham hotspur fan who was taken from her home by hamas gunmen. they shot in the hand and killed her dog. the 28—year—old is one of the civilian women named on the list. this 19—year—old had just started her military training as an army look out when hamas attacked. she was taken along with six other conscript soldiers. five of them remain in captivity. she appeared in a video posted by hamas at the weekend in which he was seen urging her government to make a deal. also on the list is 52—year—old ellie. seen here with his wife and two daughters. they were all murdered. his brother was also killed. one of the oldest hostages due to be freed

is this 8a—year—old. you remember that his wife was amongst one of the first hostages to be released back in october 2023. his daughter has told the bbc that her family do not know if her father was still alive. we should say that we don't know the condition of any of the hostages who are still being held. israel believes that most of the 33 on this first list or alive. once the hostages have been handed over and their families have been updated, their names will be released to the public. tributes are being paid to the former scotland, manchester united and manchester city footballer denis law, who has died at the age of 8a. he spent more than a decade at old trafford, where he scored 237 goals — and remains the only scottish player to have won the prestigious ballon d'0r. andy swiss looks back at his career. to manchester united fans, he was known simply as �*the king'. commentator: law! yes! denis law's arm in the air celebration became one

of the most familiar in football with his flair, flamboyance and ruthless finishing. denis law...and he's scored! brilliant! absolutely brilliant! all the more remarkable considering that as a boy growing up in aberdeen, he struggled with his eyesight. i had a squint and i used to play — i used to play football with, like, one eye was closed because i felt — i had to take off my glasses, obviously — and i always felt self—conscious, so i really — i played football with one eye. but after surgery, his career soon blossomed. when denis law signs - for manchester city on march 15th, he becomes the mostj expensive player in britain, valued at £53,000. he joined manchester city, then torino in italy before the move that would define his career. in 1962, he signed for manchester united with an immediate impact. law. . .and a beautiful goal! what a goal! it set the tone for a glorious few years.

in 1963, he scored at wembley as united won the fa cup. law... he can do it. he's done it! alongside bobby charlton and george best, he formed united's so—called holy trinity and after two league titles, he was the toast of the fans. law also shone for scotland, too. with 30 goals, he still shares the national record. but after a serious knee injury, he eventually left united and rejoined manchester city. and in 1974, against his beloved united, who were facing relegation, he did this. pulled across for law! denis has done it! the distraught law asked to be immediately substituted. he never played league football again. instead, he went to work in the media, where his charisma won him yet more fans. while at old trafford, of course, he was always the king.

the one and only king of- the stretford end, denis law. cheering and applause. one of the most one of most regal talents that football has ever seen. 0ur reporter yunus mulla was outside old trafford in manchester for us. he was the king of the stretford end, that's out there remember here at old trafford and those 404 appearances for manchester united over 11 years. 237 goals. he also played for huddersfield town, torino and of course manchester city. he was a red and a blue here in manchester. it is here at united where he made his name and where he is a legend, an icon. such a fantastic footballer with real star quality. that is why manchester united in a tribute today described him as the king

of the stretford end. they say he will be celebrated for his achievements and will always be one of their beloved players. there is a statue of him, two in fact, one in the stretford end and this one over my shoulder as part of the trinity, bobby charlton, george best, that unforgettable partnership. today what we have seen are a number of fans and people coming here laying flowers and placing their scarves here and leaving tributes. 0ne fan said, "thank you for making my life so brilliant". somebody else wrote, "goodnight, dennis, king of the stretford end". we have had tributes from across the city. manchester city say the whole city will be mourning his passing. former players such as gary neville describing him as "

a great man" we have had joejordan describing denis law as "a pro per icon" we have had that family statement from denis law's family on his passing. we know that denis law was diagnosed with alzheimer's back in 2021, as well as vascular dementia. what they have said is he fought a tough battle, but finally he is now at peace. they go on to say "we would like to thank everyone who contributed to his well—being and care". they also say, "we know how much people supported and loved him and that love was always appreciated and has made a difference". as companies look for ways to cut their carbon emissions — shipping is one of the industries in focus. global shipping is responsible

for around 2 to 3 % of emissions, around the same as flying. now one norwegian company has modified one of its vessels to install what they've described as the "world's first" onboard carbon capture and storage system. according to the ship owner, solvang a.s.a, it should see greenhouse gas emissions reduced by up to 70%. earlier i spoke to edvin endresen, ceo of solvang asa who spearheaded this project. i asked him how this new full—scale carbon capture facility works. this is really the last piece in a total emission control system where most of our vessels already have the technology to remove all harmful emissions really without the biggest one, c02. we teamed up with a developer and manufacturer of this kind of technology to take that last piece of the puzzle. it is fairly known technology, but it has never been put together in a vessel like this before. without getting too technical, we will basically take the partially—cleaned exhaust and run it through with a special

liquid that attracts the c02 molecules. it is then heated and the c02 molecules get released from the liquid soap then we have basically pure c02 that we can then turn into a liquid state. we end up with pure liquid c02 in the tank that can be discharged either as a waste product in storage or reused in various industries. how confident are you up to 70% that it can reduce gas emissions by? we are confident about the technical capabilities of it. vascular has a test facility that has been running for more than three years. we can go beyond 70%, as well. it is about finding that sweet spot of carbon capture rates and the energy that is consumed in doing so.

what does this mean for the route to zero emissions? this shipping industry has been set really ambitious targets and this can really be a fast—track solution for global shipowners like us that transit the big oceans, there are really only two ways to achieve these targets, you have to switch to zero emission fuel or use the fuel that we have today and clean the exhaust. the zero—emission fuels are not available today, at least not in the quantities we need. we need excess amounts of renewable energy and it will take years for that to happen. this technology is available today, we can clean the exhaust and the carbon and it can't be a huge fast—track to the future. this is one of these things that what you do today

matters a lot more than what you do in ten or 15 years. it is the same principle of compound interest. but it means that other shipping companies have to be on board and pay the do you see this happening in the near future? in the nearfuture, i'm not quite sure but we really need that to happen and we need others tojoin in. we will share all the information that we have because we need other shipowners to get on board. we need a global set of rules and regulations that allow companies like us to invest in new technology like this, or using alternative fuels and get a decent return. using alternative fuels and get when we have that is, this will happen for sure. some breaking news saying the israeli military are saying

they attacked on friday. the latest pictures show there is smoke rising from ruins in gaza. this was the scene earlier from the israel — gaza border. this comes hours of course, before the ceasefire is due to come into effect at 0830 local time tomorrow. thousands of homes in north wales are still without water, three days after a pipe burst at a treatment works. welsh water said last night that the pipe had been repaired, but it could take up to 48—hours to fully restore supplies. here's our wales correspondent, tomos morgan. queues of cars almost half a mile long at a water bottle station in north wales. for the past two days, residents in conwy have been without one of life's basic needs and forced to go and wait for water. very difficult to cook anything. itjust — you know, we haven't actually — we can't even flush the toilet. you know, it's really hard. around 40,000 homes are still without water, homes of those such as 85—year—old charles garrett.

so, i've just been around the corner, which seems like a few hundred yards when you're walking the dog, to eirias park, where there's a centre from welsh water which is distributing emergency supplies. i was going to go in the car, but when i looked at the end of the road and i saw the queue of traffic, i realised that was pretty hopeless and it's all been down to this — a burst mains due to a rock pressing on the pipe at the bryn cowlyd water treatment works in dolgarrog. we concluded that it| looks like movement within the riverbed. we've had big, large rocks i pressed against the pipeline which has consequently caused a pinhole leak initially, - which has then resulted i in a large leak and then, catastrophic failure of one - of the couplings which connect the pipework together. the damage has caused havoc for those living around conwy, not only affecting residents but closing schools and businesses. clwb yr efail, a community

club for the elderly and vulnerable in north wales, was also forced to shut its doors. the average age here is 91 years of age, so you can imagine elderly, vulnerable people living alone would find this quite difficult. hospitals in the area are unaffected, but after being told residents would be without supply for 24 hours, welsh water now say it may take up until tomorrow afternoon before the flow restarts. tomas morgan, bbc news. new build homeowners on two estates in the east of england say they have endured years of damp and black mould caused by defective, leaking roofs. about a dozen residentsin brentwood have complained to the house—builder, bellway, as time runs out on their ten—year structural warranties. bellway says it will put right any legitimate build defects as quickly as possible. here'sjon ironmonger. last summer we reported on a new—build bellway estate in cambridgeshire, with thousands of defects or snags.

well, since then, many other homeowners have been in touch, complaining of long—standing structural issues. and on two estates in particular, residents are feeling exposed. the rainwater soaks down the side of the house here. there's all the staining from the red roof tiles and it happens on all four corners. since buying this bellway property a year ago, dean carpenter says he is worried about his damp walls, discoloured tiles, patches of moss and in the loft space. all the black mould on the insulation. in the months since, two roofing companies have come to the same conclusion. the roof has been tiled in it wrong from the start. simply put, they say there are too few rows of tiles. the roof needs replacing, it needs refitting repatterning and retiling correctly. but bellway, and its insurers, the nhbc, have rejected dean's claims, blaming poor quality work by another builder, and said no evidence was found of a of a leak or any defect with the original

construction of the property. hello, robert. you all right? come to see about this roof. oh, this is after nine years and it's constantly getting wet. what's it going to be like in anotherfive, ten, 20 years? they are a lovely designed houses, ijust think it's poor building practice. robert's complained, too, about damp walls and mould, but bellway said the property was built to the appropriate standard. staining after nine years was not unusual and there was no sign of water ingress. in total, eight people on the estate have shared concerns with us about stained walls, mould or crumbling mortar in the eaves. most have put in claims with bellway and the nhbc. so far only one has been approved. bellway carried out remedial work on the roof of a property in november. as you can see, the roofs are flat. on this ten home bellway development in brentwood in essex, bobby and his neighbours are in a similar situation. they claim to be the guinea pigs of a new roof design,

which has resulted in years of damp and mould. what's happened is unfolded into a catalogue of misery. we felt left in the cold. and if we want to sell our houses, we're not going to be able to. eventually, in 2023, bellway agreed to add ventilation and insulation. but the work left roofs exposed under scaffolding for months and the problem, it seems, hasn't gone away. so there is some patches. i actually put my towels there, i'm not going to lie, to cover it. when the extractor fans were taken down, water just flew out. ok, so what am i looking at? oh, it looks kind of bad over there still, right? oh, yeah. nice. mould specialists say the moisture readings are still too high. it gives me ptsd. the whole thing, it's horrific. and i think sometimes even when bellway respond and it's so unhelpful, it does make me feel really crap. bellway has apologised but insisted the roofs had now been refitted to prevent future concerns, and said a mould treatment expert would revisit

the site in the spring. however, residents are now are now considering legal action, with houses on both estates nearing the end of their ten—year structural warranties. so the structural warranty, it can be quite limited in scope. so that's when it becomes very difficult for people to get these things resolved. is that fair, that not everything is covered? it's deeply not fair because these are people's, you know, their biggest financial asset. you know, a home is so important for people's security, their safety, their health. and when things go wrong, they can go badly wrong and it's not theirfault. in a statement, bellway said it strived to resolve the nhbc assured homeowners of its dedication to fairness, it's been a challenging year for uk house—builders,

but bellway has fared better than most and is projected to complete more than 8,000 new homes by april. john ironmonger, bbc news. he was one of the most influential rock guitarists of all time, playing with everyone from eric clapton, to david bowie — jeff beck helped redefine guitar music in the 1960s. he died at his east sussex home in 2023, leaving behind a massive collection of guitars — which are now due to be auctioned. 0ur reporter ian palmer has been to take a look. born in 1944, beck died two years ago at his home in sussex. inside, a treasure trove of musical instruments. if you've ever wondered how many guitars a rock legend needs, it is 90. and they are all up for sale at christies in london. tell me about the ox— blood guitar. it is a guitar that originally

was not an ox blood, it was a gold top. fans will know it from the cover of his debut solo instrumental album blow by blow released in 1975 recorded with george martin. he used it for the encore at the end of david bowie's final performance as ziggy stardust injuly of 1973. jeff beck came to prominence with the yardbirds. he stayed with the blues—based band for less than two years. after that, he worked with everybody in 20th—century music. beck played on tina turner's album private dancer. album private dancer. she said, "how much should i pay you?" beck said, "don't pay me, just sign my guitar". british rock and roll guitar and rock �*n�* roll music has always been associated with blues, african—american blues music, and that's very important aspect of it but an aspect that should never be overlooked

is rockabilly music. he was also a pioneer of electronica. this guitar will be the last to be sold, the hammer price of this instrument will be given to folly wildlife rescue near tunbridge wells. beck and his wife, sandra, were patrons of the charity. it's a guitar that was signed by all of the performers at the may 2023 jeff beck tribute concert organised by eric clapton at the royal albert hall and so, this is a moment in time of that tribute and it's a really special. it's a special stratocaster as well and we've got everyone from rod stewart, ronnie wood, from thejeff beck group to eric clapton, billy gibbons, kirk hammett and johnny depp. you can see the guitars for yourself at the auction house in london. ian palmer, bbc news,

christies in london. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith—lucas. hello. it's been a bit of a misty, murky start to your saturday for many areas, particularly towards central and eastern england, but generally through the weekend, a quiet picture. dry for most of us. feeling colder than it did through the week and still some mist and some fog patches. more particularly, i think, by tomorrow morning. we've got high pressure that's dominating our weather, that's sitting across continental europe here. weather front trying to move in from the west. and ahead of that, we're just drawing in this milderflow of air that's pushing in across northern ireland, parts of north west scotland too. many of us are still sitting with that colder air mass, particularly across parts of england and wales, where you're going to keep quite a lot of low cloud through the day. some mist and murk, a few holes in that cloud, some brighter spells developing, especially so for northern england, parts of north wales, southwest england and also northern ireland and scotland will brighten up too, especially anywhere to the north of the central belt.

that's where it will have the lion's share of the sunshine. ten or 11 in the north west, four or five in the southeast. 0vernight tonight, then, we've got more extensive low cloud and fog developing across central and southern parts of england and wales too, scotland and northern ireland keeping the clearer spells. but mostly frost—free in the northwest. a cold, frosty start for some of us across england and wales, though. into sunday, and this weather front just pushes a little bit further in. later in the day, that could bring some patchy light rain to northern ireland. but to start things off, we've got some mist, we've got some fog around, that should slowly lift into low cloud across many central and eastern areas. further north and west, generally more sunshine again, but for northern ireland it will cloud over with a few spots of light rain later on. still looking at ten degrees for the likes of belfast, but only three or four under those cloudier skies for central and eastern areas. into monday, and as that weather front sinks south, it will tend to dissipate. but it could bring some light rain to parts of north wales, northern england too. sunny spells either side of that band and temperatures perhaps up a degree or so, particularly where you've had the chilly few days for central and eastern areas.

six or seven degrees possible, nine or ten further north. it's relatively quiet as we head through the first part of next week, because we'll be between weather systems for a time, but lurking to the south and the west areas of low pressure, and towards the end of the week, they are likely to move in, bringing us some more unsettled weather. so the next few days, still fairly chilly, some clouds and mist and some fog around. more unsettled towards the end of the week, but temperatures should just about be on the rise too. bye— bye.

live from london, this is bbc news. israel prepares to receive the first three hostages due to be released on sunday under a ceasefire deal agreed with hamas. this is the scene live at the israel—gaza border, where we've seen smoke once again rising on the horizon in gaza. in ukraine — the authorities in kyiv say a night—time russian strike has killed three people. and a court in india delivers a guilty verdict in the case of a man accused of the rape and murder of a female trainee doctor at a

hospital in kolkata. hello, i'm samantha simmonds. welcome to the programme. cautious hope is rising across the middle east ahead of the gaza ceasefire, which is due to begin in less than 24 hours. mediators in qatar say it will take effect from 8.30am sunday israel/gaza time — that's 6.30am gmt. after hours of discussion, the israeli cabinet gave final approval to the ceasefire and hostage release deal with hamas. the cabinet meeting lasted more than six hours, with some ministers who had threatened to resign arguing that the agreement rewards hamas. the first hostages are due to be released on sunday, under the first phase of the agreement. in broad terms, we understand the deal between israel and hamas will be implemented in three stages — the first stage beginning on sunday. three of the hostages taken

by hamas during the attack
