>> live from london this is bbc news many azerbaijan airs says external experience brought down one of its planes that crashed in kazakhstan. new analysis shows fossil fuels super charging heat wavers. the climate crisis with six more weeks of extreme heat in 2024. one of the last functions hops in northern gaza is forbesably evacuated by the israel military and a spacecraft made history with the closest approach to the sun. welcome. azerbaijan airlines says the preliminary results of the investigation into the plane crash in kazakhstan found there was external physical and technical interference. but the report stops short of

accusing any group or countries of being responsible. it originally tried to land at tkproz any airport ahead of russia's authority said it was unable to do so because of the ukrainian drone attack. pro government media in ari azerbaijan said they believed a russia air defense missile caused the crash. this is the moment the plane went down. it is remarkable anyone survived. but emerging from wreckage some did. >> the flight had been diverted to kazakhstan after passengers heard bangs when it tried to land at the original destination grozny in czechia. they said there were two bangs but i heard one. it was quite substantial.

i honestly didn't hear the second. at first only some of the oxygen masks fell out. not all of them. >> investigators are examining the damage to the outside of the plane. the owner azerbaijan airlines said only it suffered external physical and technical interference. the kremlin has refused to comment on speculation that it was mistakenly brought down by a russian air defense system. >> i would like to point out the situation on that day and during those hours in the area around grozny airport was very difficult. ukrainian military drones were carrying out terrorist attacks on civilian infrastructure in grozny and others nearby. in azerbaijan today the first funerals for some of the 38 people killed. why they died will take time to

find out. and will likely be disputed. skwra>> a former air accident investigator gave me his assessment of what happened. >> these days, there is so much imagery and social media in the news occasionally it is possible to draw clear conclusions early on. on the photographs we have seen and video footage which are many in the public domann clearly showed damage to the aircraft which is consistent with an explosion of some kind almost certainly external but very close to the aircraft. and those images with the other evidence indicate strongly that some kind of air defense missile has exploded close to the aircraft. that has not only caused the disruption of the aircraft skin which is easily apparent, but

more importantly other suggests that it disrupted the aircraft flying control systems which are hydraulic and if they lose the high call like fluid the pilots effectively lose the normal means of controlling the aircraft and that is an extraordinarily difficult situation from which disaster is almost certainly the outcome. but occasionally we see cases and this appears to be another of them, very similar to the sioux city crash many years ago in which the pilots managed to maintain some degree of control of the aircraft. the video hose it in a series of what we would call call fugoid of pitching up and down over a period of many seconds and fortunately the final maneuver which results in the aircraft contact with the ground i don't

think we can call it a landing but i have no doubt whatsoever that the manner in which that was achieved by the flight crew is the reason there are 39 survivors. >> let's turn to the middle east. one of the last functioning hospitals in northern gaza has been forcibly evacuated by the israeli military. the kamal adwan has been under siege by the i.d.f. for weeks. staff say air strikes overnight killed 50. the head of the nursing department the army gave tell a 15 minute warning to evacuate before the army entered the hospital and removed any patients that remained. israel has not commented. our leagues at bbc arabic have been talking to those that witnessed the operation. >> we are talking from inside the hospital. the army is inside.

we hope everyone will be safe. if we are lucky we will get back to you a talk to you again. god willing for the best. forgive us if we have wronged anyone and pray for always. i'm the paramedic here. the occupation army is bee seasonaling kamal adwan and dr. a doctor to bring patients down to the hospital courtyard. if 15 minutes from now the army will enter. that is the message verbatim which dr. has sam just received. >> some witnesses speaking to our colleagues at b.b.c. arabic. we have it report from juvenile. >> we heard from medical staff who say that as you mentioned they were given very short time to evacuate the hospital both the patients and medical staff and that israeli soldiers wept into the hospital and evacuated the rest. we are unsure where the patients

and medical staff have gone. we also heard reports from the medical staff inside the hospital and that some of the, some people were taken in the courtyard and told it strip to take off their clothes in very cold conditions. we haven't heard a comment from the israeli military about that. one concerning poison is we are not sure where the patients and medical staff are being taken after the evacuation of the hospital. there has been a statement by israeli military official ear earlier, a couple days earlier there is intention to take some of the patients and evacuate them to another hospital the indonesia hospital but that hospital has been evacuateded a it has been the site of shelling and bombardment. so it is essentially hollowed out as a medical facility. medical staff tell us you have people in i.c.u. people in a coma who need acute

tphaepblgs. they need oxygen for example, they need medication. and the indonesia hospital is not equipped. this comes after hours from what we have heard from dr. hassam overnight there was shelling in the vicinity of the hospital and building opposite and resulted in the death of dozens of people around 50 or so but major destruction around the hospital. the israeli military said they are unaware of that and looking into it. >> that is our correspondent. new analysis shows fossil fuels are super charging heat wave the leaving millions prone to deadly khefrps and climate crisis caused on additional six weeks of dangerously hot days in 2004 and nearly half the world countries endured at least two months of high risk temperatures. we talk to christina dowell.

thank you for joining us. tell us which of the areas that were worst affect the by these weeks of extreme temperature. >> we looked at all countries around the world and calculated just how many additional days of dangerous heat climate changed caused this year. on average people experienced about 40 days additionally of extreme heat because of climate change this year but that really masks the different trends geographically. so we found that the places most affected by climate driven extreme heat tend to be in tropical areas like bar pwaeud cost does -- bar pwaeutd dodd and trinidad but less in places like eastern. >> how easy is it to accurately obtain this data and get a real

sense of how many deaths these heat wavers are causing? >> that is a great question. this is a branch of science called attribution science. it has just developed in the past 20 years so it is only in the last few years we have been able to say with confidence whether a particular heat wave or particular stretch of hot days or extreme rainfall can be attributed to climate change. to do this work we have to basically use a climate model to compare the temperatures we actually experienced with what we would have experienced in a world without any human caused climb change. so it is definitely intense psychic work but it is -- scientific work but it is more possible year by year. >> is there anything to help save lives given we have there knowledge? >> there is a lot. heat is often called the silent

killer because it doesn't attract the same attention assay a big wildfire or major hurricane that is incredibly destructive and dangerous to human life in the moment. but extreme heat actually kills many people every year, more than any other type of extreme weather in places like the u.s. at least. and there's a lot we can do to prevent those deaths. things like making sure that people have access to a cooling shelter that they can get to safely. making sure people understand that extreme heat can be fatal. making sure professionals are on the lookout for increase in emergency room visits in a heat wave. those can help us adapt. >> briefly, christina, we heard a lot of the impact of hurricanes recently. how much are they being impacted by there? >> they are also being affected by climate change.

our organization found that every hurricane in the atlantic this year was made stronger because of climate change. some of those hurricanes wouldn't have reached the highest categories four and five without be effect of climate change warming the waters and making them stronger. >> that is rather stark. thank you for year analysis. >> around the world and across the u.k. this is bbc news.

>> thanks for being with usment it is time to look at your sports news. hello, jane. >> hello. we start with football because there are two games in the english premiere league. one is approaching halftime. after 43 minutes it is 0-to 0

-- 0-0. brighton will most of the chances. it is about to kick off between arsenal and in swswitch. we will keep you up to date about both of those. the manchester head coach said he won't be protected if he fails to produce a winning team because it was expensive to bring him. he was booed at the final whistle of the loss on boxing day leaving them 14th in the league but sources say there is support for him despite his poor start. five defeats in the first 10 games is the worst report of any new united manager since the 1930's. >> the manager of manchester united cannot be never, no matter what, comfortable. i know the reason that i mean. so if we don't win, regardless

if they pay the buyout or not, i know that every manager is in danger and i like that because that is the, our job so i understand the question. being say that i'm here a month and four trainings but we are not winning. so that is a reality. and i'm quite comfortable with that. >> the crisis at tottenham has worsened they could be without a fit center back on sunday. spurs finished the also yesterday with midfielders. and the heart of defense after an injury. ben davies has reported had a setback. this is the worst situation they have faced in his managerial career. skwra>> we are supposed to win s and have success and have impact and that doesn't really change

doing what i'm doing and doesn't add any pressure or feel any extra anxiety. i believe we will get through and be stronger and create the team we want to be. >> kick kept and has given australia control of the match in melbourne with indiana more than 300 runs behind after day two. the first inning score was 474 built on the back of the 30. indiana started well but a chaotic right hand out and a wicket started a mini collapse in which they lost three batters for just six runs. it left them in trouble for 164 for five. it was celebrated by a australian teenager who was barged into by cawley when he was batting yesterday leading it a fine for the indian player. at the close of play day two

with south africa an pakistan an attacking 81 knot set africa to a 90 run. pakistan finished on 80 for 3 three-point lining about i two with certain wickets raping. tennis iga swiatek said she would fears she would lose her fans after the positive doping case. she failed an out of competition drug test in august. but integrity units accepted it and caused by the contamination of a different substance she was taking to help with jet lag and sleeping. she accepted a one month suspension in november. >> for all the reaction because this is mostly what i read has been pretty supportive and i really appreciate that because

even though i missed china swing and nobody knew why it was not so easy so after my case, the information about my case was released, it was -- i was scared that most of the people will turn their back on me but i felt the support. >> it is still 0-0 in both premier league matches that are under way on friday. that is all the sport for now. >> let's turn to mexico where the government has announced an emergency strategy to protect migrants in the united states ahead of the inauguration of the president-elect trump next month. he has threatened to deport millions of illegal migrants. among the measures of the foreign minister is a mobile phone panic button which can be activated by anyone facing imminent arrest. >> if you are in a situation it

is imminent you push the button and sends a signal to the nearest consul. >> he said the mobile phone app was connected to 24-hour a day call center for mexicans abroad back the by a team of more than 300 u.s. based lawyers. more than four million mexicans work in u.s. without a license. u.s. media reports recent tensions were sparked by a a.i. advisor. recently made comments supporting the removal of some caps for high skilled workers. that prompted some who back a strict er approach. i spoke to ask the mcfarland. >> this felt inevitable that this would be some fracture at some point among the sphere of

influencers aligned with donald trump because you have outside nongovernmental unelected forceful voices in donald trump's ear. elon musk the billionaire. swami, the longtime trump ally. one-time republican primary candidate who are saying things that counter the beliefs of trump's elected allies and what really caused this first profound fracture was a set of social media posts by ram companies may be better positioned and acclimated to attract foreign workers through the immigration process instead of using u.s. workers. he made a series of cultural arguments why he thinks people from other nations would be better situations for u.s. companies than those who live in the u.s. because of the cultural

dynamics at play. that runs so counter to what donald trump's political allies in elected people american workers should be championed and prioritized. you already have a butting of hetsdz with more likely to come because there's this frustration if not resevenment among some elected officials that the nonelected outside billionaire influencers have the ear of the president-elect trump. >> and it shows how potentially contradictory the position respect among some trump supporters. do you know how he plans to manage that broad support terror base in the second-term? >> the same way he has eight years. he has a whole set of seemingly contradictory positions that his political base accepts. he's talked about trying to lower prices in the u.s. for

things like food and houses an consumer goods yet championing tariffs on foreign goods which there seems to be a consensus would lead to higher prices so he has a contradiction it. but his supporters seem to be not swayed by that. he talks about law and order a tougher criminal justice but poised to pardon a whole set of u.s. capitol riot insurrectionists but he has a version of political teflon that allows his base to be seemingly impenetrable no matter what contradictions he brings. >> we have less than an month to the inauguration. what will you be keeping an eye on in washington? >> there is this particularly narrow u.s. house majority in the lower chamber of the u.s. congress that president-elect trump's party has where they can lose one vote on anything of

consequence, which men's the minorities will have outside influence in the first two years. trump will have to don't deals with democrats appear keep the government open, raise the debt ceiling pass major legislation that requires spending. that will come to a head almost immediately. how he navigates how democrats navigate will tell how this first year will go. he will not get everything he wants because of that narrow majority in the lower chamber. >> scott mcfarland from u.s. news. a nasa space placebo has flown closer to the sun than any other. without the communication with nasa for three days after coming within 6 million kilometers of the sun surface facing temperatures up to 1,000 celsius. >> it seems like science fiction, sending an uncrewed

spacecraft to the sun. it was designed to withstand sco scottishing heat but could it? nasa has now confirmed that it has. the spacecraft sent back a beacon signal indicating that it survived the close he is approach to the sun. >> we have never will a human made object so close to the sun. we will to not melt. that is why it had the heat shield that holds instruments as room temperature and keeps the sun away. they are amazing feats so it is so amazing we are close to getting to measure in detail this material up chose. >> liftoff of the mighty delta 4. >> there were many missions to study the sun but there's so much more especially its atmosphere that we can see from earth during a total eclipse. >> there new data from this

incredibly close approach to the sun just touching the surface of the corona will hopefully give us a lattimore information about exactly what is going on in our beautiful sun that heats up and gives us hit. >> the magnetic field twists and lifts its explosive surface. it is hope that is will shed light on the processes that make this hatch and you how this turbulence affects us on earth but we have two wait until the 1st of january to see the initial data. >> amazing bit of space history there. >> you can fine out more by going to the bbc news site. stay with us on b pwfrpblgt announcer: funding for presentation of this program is provided by...
