bangladesh isa have rejected the demand.xporter of clothing but the industry is often criticised by human rights groups for low wages and unsafe conditions. we report from bangladesh. garment factory workers in bangladesh are now getting $71 per month as their minimum salary, which was fixed three years ago. now they're demanding $200 per month as their life expenditure has increased 50% in the last three years. thousands of garment workers have been prevented from working in the factory after the owners thought the situation could aggravate and the situation could aggravate and the situation could aggravate and the situation could get out of hand and factories have been shut down indefinitely. those factories employ more than 200,000 workers. it looks like the bangladeshi government and the factory owners have taken a very tough stance against the demand of garment workers and they say they are not in a position to increase the salary right now. the bangladesh government industry and is more than $25 billion every year. thi

look at the isobars here, that isa bit. screaming gale force wind coming out of the atlantic ocean, pushing the first weather front through during the course of tuesday, through northern ireland and western scotland. by the time we get to the middle part of the week, these weather fronts well and truly rushing through the uk. wind increasing everywhere, gailes around the north—western coast. perhaps further west and south, too. initially, the weather not too blustery, but it will still be cloudy and stamp at times. a lot of sunshine, too. not all bad, blustery, cold showers around, but by thursday and friday and through the weekend, through christmas, that is where things turn interesting. let's look at the scene across our pa rt let's look at the scene across our part of the world as we enter christmas eve. here is the nasty area of low pressure, strong winds. tonnes of isobars, you can't really count them, they go on and on forever. here are the gale force winds. the worst of the winds at this stage of a body on christmas

it isa very alex evans not receiving funding.t rope that saudi arabia is treading on —— public servants not receiving funding. the oil prices are really important. their difficult year, 2016, has perhaps forced their hand when it comes to that historic agreement on oil prices, trying to price out the fracking industry? absolutely. the subsidy question is an enormous one. there is a very special social contract within saudi arabia and the re st of contract within saudi arabia and the rest of the golf whereby the state is able to use its largess to fund the public. that is changing and thatis the public. that is changing and that is they fundamental shift. the enormity of that cannot be underestimated —— gulf. enormity of that cannot be underestimated -- gulf. you answered my questions before i ask them. i was going to ask if there was a sense that the saudi arabian budget was even more important than the uk budget, because is it true that the saudi arabian government involvement in keeping people employed and keeping people in the

yes, it isa trend we will see continuing? yes, it is a trend we have seen for sometime now.ow back then. so it maybe, but i think it depends on how high inflation ticks up and these things take sometime to get going and the other thing to bear in mind about inflation is, it is probably a one off adjustment from falling sterling and higher oil prices. it may not be sustained beyond 2017. 0ne sustained beyond 2017. one last story about the markets. they are not particularly going anywhere today, but we are seeing the banks taking a hit. is that to do with the bank can i sis that‘s going on in italy? yes, it was more problems in italy with the share package, the rescue package that they put together and that‘s really affecting the whole sector. now, of course, you know the banks are all intercon ked so there is a fear of contagion, the uk banks are in a better position than they were, you know, ten years ago. so much safer, but still risks there. now a look at how the markets. the london market managed to claw its way above 7,000 for the first time since october, but it is hard

there isa a lot of surprise and alarm. and expanding and it is the word x band which drew a lot of attention? that is right. —— the word expand. president obama has been all about reducing stockpiles. some have criticised this because of creating a new cruise missile and updating a nuclear bomb. there are some changes which people say could increase an arms race but it is not within president obama's policy to expand nuclear weapons in the world. he entered office talking about a planet without nuclear weapons. so when mrtrump planet without nuclear weapons. so when mr trump tweets he wants to strengthen and expand they question it. and if he tweets without any policy discussion or policy details or even a position he —— a position to make policies because he is not president yet, then this is what the clinton campaign were saying, that he is too erratic and this will feed those concerns. we are new territory with mr trump those concerns. we are new territory with mrtrump in those concerns. we are new territory with mr tru

there isa come in from the north—west. over how quickly that happens, but a cloudy prospect that we head towards the middle of the week. briefly, very mild. their area of yellow pushing in. not as cold as it will be at the start of the week. what happens after that is causing the computer models some issues. the boundary between the mild and the cold is marked by thejet stream. in the northern hammer ship, various ripples of the jet stream, troughs and ridges. the behaviour of these, perhaps as far field of the pacific will have a downstream effect on the behaviour of the jet stream closer to home. at this stage, despite the conflicting sting googles from the models, the best bet after the milder interlude, it starts to turn cold again towards the end of next week with a renewed chance of some frost and snow. we will update you again tomorrow. this is bbc news. the headlines at ten. us—israeli relations sour, as prime minister netanyahu accuses us secretary of statejohn kerry of bias against israel over the expansion ofjew

because of the speed it was going, it isa because of the speed it was going, it is a square, and yes,ain roads either side of the square, but the path that it was going, it wasn't as if it had just veered off the road. it wasn't, if you are veering off and going into the pavement, it wasn't that kind of accident. it was through the centre of the market. i am unsurprised at that. thoughts and players are with family, and with the people that have been injured, because we were very, very lucky, but there were lots of people tonight that word. indeed. you are clear in your mind that this vehicle was aiming to hit as many people as possible, there is absolutely no way that this could have been accidental in any way? i'm notan have been accidental in any way? i'm not an expert. i don't deal with traffic collisions every day, but in my mind, it didn't look like an accident. you at least make an attempt to stop, and there was no attempt to stop, and there was no attempt to stop in that vehicle. given that germany has sadly been the scene of several terror incidents in the last few months, an

named after lord dubs, who pushed for this isa after lord dubs, who pushed for this is a member to bedon't have family here. lord dubs came here decades ago fleeing nazi persecution, which is why it has been told the dubs agreement. the home office say it won't comment on ongoing legal inquiries, so it is not giving us any direct response. it points out that 900 child refugees have been brought to the uk this year and of those, around 750 have been child refugees from france. the current scheme to bring children from france has ended, there won't be any more under that scheme, but there may be others eligible from europe such as greece, if they are eligible over the next few months. thanks very much. rebel groups are expected to meet russian negotiators in turkey today as part of a fresh push for a ceasefire in syria. one key group says it's already been in talks with turkish officials about ways to end the fighting, but that it's too early to say whether there could be a truce. it's believed one key point of contention is the exclusion of a key rebel—held area on the outskirts of dam

it isa it is a small amount, 5%.ike save the children uk and the nspcc to smaller ones like the wildfowl and wetlands trust, battersea dogs home and the royal school of needlework. we will find that these will all be redistributed to other members of the royal family. for example, the rugby football union has already announced that harry is to become their patron. that is entirely expected. among the others that she is stepping back from wimbledon and the lawn tennis association, where she has been notably not terribly interested in tennis throughout her reign. i should think we will have announcements from them in the next few days. the duchess of cambridge will perhaps take on tennis. the welsh rugby union, william might get that. the holocaust day memorial trust, i think prince charles might well ta ke trust, i think prince charles might well take that on. and she is also stepping back from barnardo's. the duchess of cornwall is already president of that, so i would think that camilla might become patron as well.
