today showers are following a band of rain that�*s moving across the country and it�*s breezy too, butn will be turning wintry by the time we get to sunday. we�*ve got this area of cloud. everything is rattling in from the atlantic. this area of cloud will be arriving overnight. this is the cloud that�*s been bringing the rain today and keeping temperatures around about nine or ten degrees after what was quite a cold start across some eastern parts of the uk. it�*s across eastern parts of england that we�*ll see that rain to end the day. that moves away. skies will clearfor just a short while. then that area of cloud comes in from the atlantic fairly quickly. it�*ll bring some more rain in from the west and the winds starting to pick up, as well. so probably not quite as cold as it was last night for the eastern side of the uk. temperatures will be down to around six or seven degrees. the windy weather on saturday is going to be more across the northern half of the uk. widely gusts 50 to 60mph, it could be getting close to 80mph in the far north of scotland. very windy conditions, thou

now it�*s time for a look at today�*s sport.ome defeat to fellow strugglers ipswich, it�*s all overfor gary 0�*neil at wolves. they lost the game in injury time on saturday with 0�*neill accusing his players of bad decision—making. frustrations came to the fore at full—time with wolves players rayan ait—nouri sent off for an altercation, and matheus cunha also had to be restrained after a set—to with one of the ipswich staff. 0�*neill was actually given a four year deal this summer after guiding them to safety last season, and they seemed to have turned things around last month with back to back wins, theirfirst in the league, but they have now lost four in a row and are down in 19th. four matches in the premier league today. crystal palace made a brillaint start against brighton, trevor chalobah and ismailla saar putting them 2—0 up at halftime. southampton host spurs and brentford travel to chelsea in the late kick offs. the game of the day is at the etihad, ruben amorim�*s first taste of the manchester derby as he takes his u

let�*s have a quick look at some of the day�*s other sports stories.oulder blade and hand fractures in a bike crash during a training ride. reports in belgium said evenepoel hit the door of a post van that was opened as he passed it, with pictures on social media showing his bike snapped in two. the denver broncos strengthened their position in the nfl playoff picture with a win over the cleveland browns that came despite browns quarterback jameis winston throwing for four touchdowns and a franchise record 497 yards. it was his two interceptions returned for scores that scuppered his historic performance, and one of the "baggy green caps" worn by australian cricket legend don bradman has sold for almost a quarter of £1 million at an auction in sydney. bradman wore the cap in the 1947—48 home test series against india during which he scored his 100th first class century. now, he�*s scored more than 40,000 points over a career of more than 20 years, but lebronjames may have to deal with a bit of time out of the la lakers team after his coach poured a bit

the man who�*s organised this says he�*s based in cardiff. france by plane to the uk on a false passport. our undercover reporter didn�*t go through with the deal. but what�*s obvious to me is just how straightforward it is to find and do business with people smugglers and others involved in their criminality. hawala banking has many legitimate uses, but it�*s also key to enabling the trade in people smuggling — and it doesn�*t only happen overseas. there are a number of known hawalas in the uk, currently some of which are regulated, but there�*s an awful lot of people that aren�*t regulated and are working within a criminal network within the uk. and it�*s this system that shamo and khdir were exploiting — from the middle east, across europe and in south wales. concerns about the hawala banking system have reached the united nations, but it does acknowledge the system works well for millions. basically, you have a hawala broker based in one country, somebody goes to this broker, pays some cash that they want to transfer to somebody in a diff

it�*s thursday. it�*s question time — here�*s fiona with what�*s coming up. tonight.ormer spin doctor, alastair campbell, joined by the government and the conservatives, all along with an expectant audience here in lincoln in the east midlands. we are on iplayerfrom 9pm and bbc one after the ten 0�*clock news. fiona, thank you. a medicine known as the "king kong" of weight loss jabs is to be prescribed on the nhs in england. but it could take 12 years for everyone to receive it. the healthcare watchdog, nice, says that length of time is necessary so health services aren�*t overwhelmed by demand for the drug. our health correspondent, sophie hutchinson reports. maya winter was turned down for nhs weight loss treatment, despite having severe obesity with a bmi ofjust over 53. she bought the weight loss drug mounjaro privately from an online pharmacy and has since lost five stone. it feels amazing. ifeel so, so, so much better, and my body, just had my six—monthly bloods done, and my body is coping a lot better, and all my bloods are looking very good. around 60% of adul

i�*m so grateful for melinda�*s commitment to women�*s health.ck maternal health, and really on organisations who are doing important work within their own communities and really touching women who are most at risk and who are, you know, doing urgent work to come out with better outcomes. it�*s really been very interesting to learn the landscape better, to hear what�*s happening in different parts of the world and to try to support those organisations. so would that work be centred in the united states or in different countries, maybe the continent of africa or other developing nations? yeah, it�*s open globally. and so, obviously, i have my most experience in the states and in my own communities, but i am actively speaking to organisations all over the world. and so, this is an issue all over the world as well so i�*m excited to learn more. you also co—founded a sports management firm recently, adding to the list of your achievements as an entrepreneur now. how much are you hoping to change in the way women athletes are represented through this

there�*s a video. that�*s one of the killers.eld near here, and the people had come to watch him being hanged. imagine if someone knocked on your door and brought you by force, and didn�*t tell you anything, the reason of why you are getting killed. throughout the afternoon, more and more people arrived until thousands blocked the streets. when rumours flew around that the execution was starting, the crowd surged back and forth, jostling for the best position, not wanting to miss a thing. the man they wanted hanged had been the local boss, a thief as well as a killer. "he stole my house and money," said muna. translation: of course i want him dead. - i would have done it myself with my own hands, but i couldn�*t find a way. i wanted to kill him! somehow, they decided the execution was happening down the street, and stampeded. if syria�*s new rulers do not want change to be measured in blood, they will need to control the desire for revenge. there�*s a real strong sense of excitement, expectation, anger, as well. they want to see

here s our north amnerica correspondent, rowan bridge. another drone.ery that is gripping america. all the drones in the sky. they are not scary per se, they are not looking through your window or crashing into your house, but it is still concerning because there are these mystery ufos — unidentified flying objects — flying around that nobody is giving any answers to and nobody seems to know what they are. but who is behind the drones being spotted over the northeast of the united states? i've seen them over my house just about every single night for the last 2.5 weeks. at first, they were more sporadic and i would see one or two or perhaps three of them and now, we seeing anywhere between six to eight in a single sighting. they first appeared in mid—november over newjersey. since then, the fbi says it has had more than 3000 reports across six states. basically, what i've seen regarding the drones is also just when you are driving around at night and you see the blinking lights in the sky. and when i was driving home from a friend's house, i saw one tha

let�*s show you some of the numbers.e has has slowed a bit this year. but compare that though to average earnings— they�*ve only risen 19 per cent over the same period — making renting ever more unaffordable for many. earlier i spoke to jae vail — a campaigner at the london renters union — he says these problems have been building for a long time. this is in a crunch moment right now, but this has been decades in the making. it began with the sell off of our council housing back in the 1980s, and the dismantling of basic tenancy protections, things like rent control, also protection from evictions. so we have this system now where the government is overly reliant on unregulated private landlords to meet the nation�*s housing needs. and, um, tenants have got no choice but to rent privately and pay extortionate rents. and when they�*re not able to pay those rents, the government is subsidising the private sector in the form of housing benefit to the tune of billions a year, or when people are, you know, when people end up

here�*s dan roan.fa delivered the prize it craved most. the host of the fifa world cup 2034 will be... saudi arabia! with the inevitable victory confirmed, these the scenes in riyadh. with fifa cosying up to the saudis in recent years and a fast—tracked process appearing to pave the way for them, this had seemed a formality since last year, when it emerged that their bid would be unopposed. earlier, in a highly controlled virtual meeting at its zurich headquarters, members of fifa�*s congress encouraged to vote by acclamation in favour. this is such a historic moment, not only for the saudi arabian football federation, not only for these children behind me, but for the growth of our sport in asia and across the world. saudi arabia�*s ambitious plans involve 11 new stadia, including one 350 metres above the ground in the futuristic and still to be built desert city of neom. but with the world cup, like neighbouring qatar�*s two years ago, set to be staged in winter to avoid the extreme summer heat, ther

there�*s a 0% chance."peration to find those victims and clear the shipping channel, and it�*s seen new footage of the dali the day before it struck the key bridge. investigators say a power outage caused the dali to lose control and hit the bridge. their report found that it experienced two other blackouts the day before. this exclusive footage appears to show dense smoke from one of those blackouts. and this previously unseen angle shows the full extent of the bridge�*s progressive collapse. as well as the recovery, the salvage team would need to map the debris, free the ship and lift 16,000 tonnes of steel and concrete before they could fully reopen the port, with danger at every turn. the other side of that pendant, is it disconnected? yeah, it looks still connected to a beam, like a truss. you turn left and you went underneath something, you have to remember that that�*s where you have to come back out otherwise you could become trapped. everything that could make diving more difficult, it was on this

he�*s said.ghbours confronted the family. the police visited on a number of occasions, but there was no intervention and abiyah died and was buried in the garden without anyone knowing. do you have a child? none of your business. my child is none of your business. in 2021, the police did try to find abiyah. by then, he was already dead. but they left without finding his makeshift grave. that�*s not your business. there was a mix up later when they checked records, and so the case wasn�*t followed up. it�*s an incredibly sad case. it�*s incredibly harrowing to think of the medical evidence that we�*ve heard at court, to think about how much pain abiyah would have been in. and my heart goes out to abiyah. and the fact that there was opportunities to save him, um, and he wasn�*t saved. by the time they were stopped, their second child was also severely ill. a safeguarding review is being carried out to see whether procedures can be improved. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. film awards season is u

that�*s where he was laid to rest. standing was chockablock with dignitaries, cutting across party lines, right from prime minister narendra modi to members of several political parties across the spectrum, really. and that is testament to the kind of politician that dr manmohan singh really was, someone who really was a man who was known to have built consensus during his political career. but of course, he was india�*s prime minister from 2004 to 2014, but prior to that, as finance minister, is when the man really made a name for himself, because he was credited to being the architect of india�*s economic reforms in 1991, as finance minister, when he opened up india�*s economy, bringing in liberalising economic reforms, opening it up to foreign investment, and that�*s where many people say that india�*s start of becoming an economic superpower really began. so the former prime minister being laid to rest, and the current prime minister narendra modi saying india, in fact, is mourning one of its most distinguished lea

"how much do they talk to each other?" but we figure it out by breaking it. i mean, it�*s extraordinary that a human has about 20,000 genes... yes. ..and a worm has 20,000 genes. yes. that�*s why we really are too self—important. we�*re just not... laughter you know, humans are just not that great, you know? we�*re fine. i�*m happy to be a human. i don�*t want to be a worm. but, you know, a bacteria has 4,000 genes. that�*s not very different from 20,000, i�*m sorry. you know, people say, "oh, geez, if you look for life on other planets, "it�*s bacteria, how boring." you got it all wrong, folks! bacteria are totally awesome! yeah, so what you�*re saying, essentially, is that

now it�*s time for a look at today�*s sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. strugglers ipswich at home on saturday, it�*s all over for gary 0�*neil at wolves, they conceded in injury time, with 0�*neil accusing his players of bad decision—making. frustrations came to the fore at full—time at molyneux, with rayan ait—nouri sent off for an altercation, and matheus cunha also had to be restrained after a set—to with one of the ipswich staff. wolves seemed to have turned things around last month with back to back wins, their first in the league but they have now lost four in a row and are down in 19th, 0�*neill was given a four year deal this summer after guiding them to safety last season, the club are yet to the club have confirmed that they have ended his tenure. there are four more games in the premier league in sunday, chelsea will move two points behind liverpool if they beat brentford, manchester city will be looking to pull themselves out of an uncharacteristic slump, one win in ten in all competitions, and in the next few hours it�*s the small matter of

well, now it�*s ghana�*s turn. when neighbouring countries have overturned their governments. so here�*s what�*s at stake. first, ghana�*s once booming economy is struggling. young people face high unemployment, inflation is up and debt keeps growing. but ghana is not alone. in kenya, similar debt issues led to protests and higher taxes, part of a larger debt crisis facing many developing nations. this economic frustration has young ghanaians often choosing between staying or migrating, but they say this election gives them a chance to insist on policies which could make it easierfor them at home. then there�*s the environment. illegal mining, known as galamsey, is devastating ghana�*s forests and rivers. these forests also don�*t just matter to ghana. these are rivers often used by the local community as sources of drinking water. they help absorb carbon emissions, making them critical in the fight against climate change. for ghana, climate change is real and immediate. young ghanaians arejoining a global movement

the big shock and the big scare of last week 's few i big scare of last week �*s few hours, six hourspretty much passed now. i think that was the peak uncertainty for investors, was something really that we hadn't seen since the 1970s and 1980s going to happen in south korea. that is passed now and we're not going get another martial law declaration despite speculation about the end of last week so the —— the worst of it has passed. south korea �*s reputation to that extent is intact now and it is more of a question of will we now get weeks or months of this uncertainty where government is not really functioning so there isn't going to be any real shock to investors or markets, it is just how long will this last. with protests in the meantime, will it extend to strikes. not too bad at the moment but that can have a knock—on effect if we get labour and industrial action. they were calling for strikes until the president goes. is that a real concern for business?— that a real concern for business? ., business? for the most part that is going _ business? for the most part that is going t

but let�*s leave that to one side and let�*s just think about your dad�*s own situation.dela. i think you�*ve even used that phrase yourself. but isn�*t the truth that there are powerfulforces inside the palestinian authority, led by mahmoud abbas, who see your dad as a threat, as a potential rival, and who, actually, at various times in the last few years, have actually worked against the idea that he should be released from jail? well, i always say that i don�*t think any palestinian in their right mind would oppose the idea of my father being released. i think if anyone, if any palestinian, opposes the idea of my father or any other palestinian political prisoner to be released, they need to go and test their dna. i think that our direction should always be against the illegal occupation. of course we have internal problems. an internal division that is shameful for every palestinian. we want it to end. we want unity for the palestinian people. and this is why palestinians have shown their support for my father, because he is a unifying figure. he is someone who is wil
