the home secretary,

and those companies have got a moral responsibility to take that content down and make it harderfor people to access it. the mistakes that meant police and others didn't stop rudakubana in time will be the subject of a public inquiry. he was born and raised in the uk. today, the conservative leader, kemi badenoch, repeated her view his crimes represent a failure of integration. he had materials about, you know, white genocide and so on. if you are being inculcated in hate, you are not integrating well. what's your evidence that a lack of integration was part of the reason that he went on to commit these absolutely heinous crimes? i have seen what has come out of the court case. i have made an observation. i think that these are things that need to be looked at. but every single time a politician wants to talk about these issues, there's often a pushback, "well, what's the evidence?" "well, we're not really sure."

"should we use this sort of language?" and the minute we start going down that track, i think we start to lose our way. police found rudakubana, aged 17, had bought knives online. today, the government said online retailers will have to see photo id, with proof of age, before selling. delivery companies will have to hand packages over in person and demand proof of age as well. damian grammaticas, bbc news. president trump has said he'll speak to sir keir starmer by phone in the next 24 hours. speaking on air force one, he insisted the pair get along very well — saying quote "i may not agree with his philosophy, but i have a very good relationship with him. trump's ally elon musk has criticised the starmer government over its response to child exploitation cases. here's more of what president trump said on board air force one. do you think you will get along

the area, as a 60—day ceasefire deal expired — it has not said how long its forces will stay in lebanon. both israeli troops and hezbollah fighters were supposed to have completed their respective withdrawals. meanwhile, our bbc world service correspondent in beirut carine torbey has been to one of the towns which people headed to from their villages in defiance of israeli occupation. here is her report from tyre, the historic lebanese port city. people gathered here are among those who tried to cross into their occupied villages further in the south. they are here to hear news about others who were injured after the israeli army opened fire to disperse them. they were brought to this hospital. translation: we were heading to our village and we found - the israelis there. we remained there. they started firing in the air, but they didn't scare us. then a drone threw sound bomb

on us and the soldiers started firing at us. a guy standing next to my brother got shot. people started panicking, not knowing in which direction to head. one of the villages where people tried to go to is just two minutes' away from where we are standing here — on top of this hill over there. basically, people who were trying to cross today knew that they were taking a big risk, but they told me this didn't stop them. translation: i was just standing there and the israelis fired at us. i wanted to stay, even if it meant we'd be martyred. it's our land we're going to. should we leave it to the israelis so they blow up our homes? how is that acceptable? it is so dead the scale of the destruction in the villages that are still

under israeli occupation and that are off limits, is massive. as the israeli army continues to detonate houses and to bulldoze homes. now the lebanese army is deploying in many areas in the south. it is here in bint jbeil and further. the idf says the lebanese army hasn't done a good job deploying all over the south. but the lebanese army says it is the stalling of the israelis and their delay in withdrawing that is preventing it from deploying all over the place. prosecutors in south korea have formally charged the suspended president — yoon suk yeol — with insurrection, over his brief implementation of martial law in december last year. on saturday a court in seoul rejected a request to extend mr yoon�*s detention — forcing prosecutors to indict him orfree him, ahead of the end of his custody period on monday. if convicted, mr yoon could face years in prison. at least 18 people have been killed in a fuel tanker

explosion in nigeria. the authorities in the south east of the country say 10 others have sustained burn injuries. the national road safety agency said the truck suffered a brake failure, which caused the driver to lose control and crash into vehicles on an expressway. it's the latest in a series of tanker blasts that have killed hundreds of people across the country. let's ta ke let's take you to an emergency meeting of the un security council. it follows clashes in the democratic republic of the congo. british nationals have been told to leave the city of goma in the central african country, as fighting intensifies there. observers have warned

that the conflict could spark a regional war — more than 400 thousand people have been displaced this year alone. congolese forces are clashing with fighters from the m23 group — which experts from the un say is backed by neighbouring rwanda. although rwanda has neither confirmed or denied that. we hear rwanda drones have hit the area. and m23 forces have pursued their offensive in the east of the country. the drc is a mineral—rich countries and there have been tensions for a while now. this escalation is being seen as deeply concerning. we will bring you more on that meeting when we get it.

on monday, the world will mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz—birkenau. the camp was opened by the nazis in occupied poland in 1940. it started as a concentration and labour camp but was transformed into a notorious extermination camp. more than one million people were murdered there, the majority were jews. the 27th january also marks holocaust memorial day to remember the 6 millionjews killed during the second world war. we have been talking to dov forman, the great—grandson of an auschwitz survivor, lily ebert, who died in october, aged 100. she lived an incredible life. she survived but not only survived, she thrived, she had ten grandchildren, 38 great grandchildren. and a great grandchild in her hundred and first year.

she was born in a small suburban orthodox town to a jewish family. she described her childhood as an idyllic one, one that was similar to what i grew up in but she says that all changed in march 1944, towards the end of the war when the nazis invaded hungary. they were forced to sew a yellow star on their clothes. they were only allowed out at certain times and then a few weeks later, forced into the poorest part of the town with thousands of others from surrounding areas into what we know as ghettos. a few weeks later, in gruelling heat of the summer, they were forced onto a cattle truck, and transported to what would be auschwitz. her mother and siblings were sent left, and

she was sent right. so they can get the maximum amount of work from her. just for people who don't know about auschwitz, describe what happened there. my great—grandmother describes arriving there to this purpose—built factory of death and she describes the moment of realisation that is what it was when she saw a few hours after arriving, when they had shaved her hair and given her the striped clothing we associate with auschwitz, and she said to a person who had been there for a lot longer than she had, what factory is this? what is coming out of that chimney? that person said, that is not a factory. that is where they have just burned your family who arrive with you. that was the moment when my great—grandmother realised that is what this place was, in a systematic state sponsored place of death, purposely built

so that the nazis could efficiently as quickly is possible gas, great, murderas cremate, murder as many people is possible and for my great—grandmother, more than 400,000 hungarians were murdered there in three months. this was a place where the most were murdered. that is where my great—grandmother was for four months during the holocaust and she went on not to live a life of anger but instead when she was in auschwitz she promised herself, if i survive, for all those who did not, all those who were murdered, i will my story. and that is what she did and in her last months she became increasingly worried that the world had not learnt and the echoes of the past are again prevalent in society and she always wanted the world to learn that words can have consequences and basic hatred can lead to neighbours hating neighbours, to ordinary people to become part of this system which murdered ordinary regular innocent civilians, jewish people, in auschwitz.

and you talk about how she wanted to let the rest of the world know what had happened and you want what had happened and you and herjoinned forces to make use of social media and ijust want to show our audience just one of the tiktok videos that you why did you want her decide to set up a tiktok account? when she was in auschwitz during the holocaust she promised herself she would tell her story and she did just that.

she dedicated her life for decades, going to schools and universities and work places, places of faith, on news channels like this, in probably this very studio, to share her harrowing testimony. i cannot imagine how difficult that was with her. when she was no longer able to go out on share her story during the pandemic, i began asking her questions, wanting to know more. and eventually, i started posting these videos which i was doing with herjust for my own knowledge on social media. i started on twitter and they started to go viral. i showed her what was going on on tiktok and she said i will do it but i am not dancing. and so we did not dance, we posted incredibly important videos, notjust about her testimony and what happened to her there, but also about how no matter how dark life can seem and how challenging times are because we all go through challenging times, not like the holocaust,

but we have our own difficulties, there is light at the end of the tunnel and we can get through with a smile on ourface. that is why she attracted so many people to our page. we had over a billion views sharing to the world how you can not only surviving life through any challenge you can also build again and rebuild and have a life of resilience and hope. i suppose the thing about tiktok is that it is very and there will be a lot of young people who really do not understand what happened in the second world war. it is impossible to understand and comprehend and i think there are only really two ways to do that. one is by hearing the survivor testimony, eyewitness testimony, and tomorrow we will commemorate the 80th anniversary. unfortunately, we are facing a new reality, survivors are dwindling, this may be the last time they will be able to meet and go to places like the

former concentration camps and share their stories. we need to hear their testimony and preserve it and record that testimony and post it online. so children and anyone can watch it. the second is by going to these sites, as the king and prime minister will do and have done, to go and see yourself the vastness of the operation and to see that this was a purpose—built factory of death not to produce anything, ratherjust to kill over a million people. over 6 million ordinary innocent jewish men, women and children were murdered for no reason other than the fact they were born jewish. on social media today in the world today we see so much anti—semitism and hatred and it is for that reason it was so important for me to go on tiktok where there

is so much disinformation to go on their so young children would be presented with the truth and be able to ask my great—grandmother questions. they won't understand, it is impossible to comprehend but the way they can do that is by hearing the eyewitness testimony and saying i know what happened. and i know that this is what she went through, i saw the number on her arm,. in the uk, drones are now being used to help get a better view of tailbacks from the sky, and send alerts to drivers to help them avoid queues. transport for west midlands hope they'll keep us moving on the roads by relaying live footage to a control centre. our reporter kevin reide has more. you only have to look around our major roads and you'll see plenty of cameras. but there are coverage black spots, and they're often not high enough to get an overall picture. and that's why transport

for west midlands, part of the combined authority, has started using drones to fill in the gaps. what we're finding is that drones just allow us that flexibility to deploy an eye in the sky where we don't have fixed camera coverage on the ground, and it's giving us real good depth of view and allowing us to make better decisions in terms of minimising traffic congestion. the live pictures from the drone are monitored here at the regional transport coordination centre in birmingham, and information from here can be sent out to motorists in the form of traffic alerts. they did a piece over m5junction one, where they were showing the island as it all clogged up. this allowed the traffic signal team put in a new set of signals there, and since then the island has flowed like it should. we can use fixed cameras, but the drone gives us angles that we wouldn't usually have, so we can see from all approaches. other regions, such as manchester, are showing an interest in the work

going on in the west midlands, and the team here have won industry awards for their innovation. kevin reide, bbc news. an ambulance trust has apologised unreservedly for the distress caused to the family of a man who died after suffering breathing difficulties. andrew watson died at his home in county durham, after waiting for more than an hour for paramedics in 2019. an internal report by the north east ambulance service found the 32 year old could have survived if he'd been treated sooner, but full details of his care were not originally shared with his family or the coroner. a warning this report by megan paterson is distressing from the start. in october 2019, andrew watson developed complications after suffering severe tonsillitis. struggling to breathe, he called the north east ambulance service twice from his home in langley moor after he started choking.

this is the patient breathing. uh, hello. i'm trying to breathe. okay, i'm going to ask you some questions so we can get you some help. a third call for an ambulance was made after andrew watson collapsed and was unresponsive. an ambulance arrived 62 minutes after the first call, but andrew didn't survive. he was very outgoing. he loved to do jokes,

play hide and seek. when we were younger,| remember doing a lot of games. and then obviously with helping with me, with my maths and my english. he was a very, uh, it was a very loving and caring brother. an internal neas report found andrew's condition could have been treatable if an ambulance had attended sooner. but the full details of his care were not originally shared with the coroner. an inquest into his death was discontinued in 2020. last year, the coroner reopened andrew's case, although the reasons why are unclear. in a statement, a spokesperson said: details of the internal report have now been

shared with andrew's family, but his case isn't isolated. in 2019, former neas employee paul calvert began raising concerns the trust was not reporting full details of some patient deaths to the coroner's office. since then, he has been engaged in a long running dispute with the trust. the bottom line is here that people in need have called the ambulance service and, quite rightly, expect a certain level of care in those instances and in instances where failings have occurred, then those entities, including the nhs, have a responsibility to tell the families where those failings were. an independent review into failings at neas took place in 2022. it found inaccuracies in information provided to the coroner and poor behaviour by senior staff. the service apologised and said changes were made at pace. but andrew's death wasn't considered in the government ordered review. his family say the lack of scrutiny continues to cause pain.

basically, we're a family that's broken, because we know that he should still be here with us and we're all grieving differently, but we have no other way of trying to get the truth unless it goes to a public inquiry, so that people are therefore accountable and have to give us the answers that we all want as a family. the inquest into andrew watson's death will continue next month. his family hopefulfor a greater understanding of his final hours. megan patterson, bbc news. in a statement the department of health and social care told us: our sympathies are with andrew s family and friends, who have suffered unimaginable distress because of the shocking failings in this case. we will never turn a blind eye to failure and will work to root out poor performance". now it's time for a look at the weather. hello. this turbulent spell of weather continues.

we have another deep area of low pressure in charge of the scene today. this is another named storm, but this one named by the spanish weather service, for the impact it is going to have in spain, storm herminia. but here in the uk, the met office has issued a range of yellow warnings for wind and rain. the satellite picture very clearly shows the centre of our storm, the centre of our area of low pressure. but i also want to draw your attention to what is happening down here along the line of this weather front. we can see this hook of cloud developing, and it may be that we see another very small scale area of low pressure forming, and that could bring a swathe of very strong winds for some of us overnight tonight. but it is windy out there through the afternoon, a band of rain pushing its way northwards, some very heavy thundery showers following on behind, this as we get into the evening, there is still, even at this short range, some uncertainty in our forecast. the centre of the area of low pressure will be out to the west of us, but some computer weather models allow this separate

very small scale area of low pressure to develop, bringing a big lump of heavy rain and maybe some flooding. butjust on the southern flank of that, there is the chance that we could see a swathe of very, very strong winds. short lived gusts of 60, 70, 80mph. but there's uncertainty about exactly where that feature may track its way northwards across england and wales. in fact, it may even be that we see some wet and blustery weather into eastern scotland tomorrow morning. and if that feature comes a little bit further west, that could give some significant snow over high ground. tomorrow, we will see this band of heavy rain driving northwards that could have some snow mixed in over higher ground. lots of showers further south and another very windy day. those strong winds continue. gusts of 50, 60, 70mph for exposed coasts in the south and the west of the uk. temperatures probably the least of our worries at 6 to 9 degrees. now that area of low pressure will track its way eastwards as we move on into tuesday.

that low weakening and filling somewhat, so tuesday won't be as windy, but there will still be some showers or some longer spells of rain. could see some very wet weather for a time in the south on wednesday. it does turn a little bit calmer for the end of the week. live from london, this is bbc news.

president trump says he'd like arab nations to take in a million and a half gazans, calling the strip "a demolition site" where "something needs to happen". i would like egypt and jordan to take people, you are talking about probably 1.5 million people and we just clean up that whole thing. this is the scene in gaza — where israel continues to stop tens of thousands of palestinians returning to the north, after accusing hamas of a ceasefire violation. chancellor rachel reeves hints a third runway at london's heathrow airport could get government support, as part of plans to grow the economy. a senior world health organization official tells the bbc it needs to be more nimble and reinvent itself — after trump orders the us to pull out of the agency. an election slammed as a "sham" and a farce —
