the violence before aston villa's europa conference league win over legia warsaw, where the polish side's fans clashed with police, leaving four officers injured. good afternoon. the king has warned leaders at the cop28 climate summit in dubai that the world is far off track from meeting key climate targets. in his speech he said he prayed the summit would be a critical turning point for genuine transformational action. this year's cop will focus on speeding up the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy — but there is likely to be disagreement on how that is done, as our climate editor justin rowlatt reports. it was an autograph hunter's dream — 167 world leaders, including rishi sunak. .. ..prime minister modi of india... ..and president macron of france, as well as any number of other notables, including a cgi representation of the uae's first president, sheikh zayed bin nahyan. but top of the bill was king charles, rallying the world to action. i pray with all my heart that cop28 will be another critical turning point towards genuine transformational action. some important progress has been made but it worries me greatly that we remain so dreadfully far off track, as the global stock—take demonstrates so graphically. and he had a warning for us all. in 2050, our grandchildren won't be asking what we said, they will be living with the consequences of what we did or didn't do. it is a real honourfor the king to be asked to open this conference, something the palace has been emphasising. it is a reflection of his status in the world, but also of his lifelong commitment to environmental issues. the hope is he will rally leaders here to raise their carbon cutting game and dig a bit deeperfor cash for poor countries, to help them switch to clean energy, and also to cope with the impact of climate change. time is running out, the head of the un warned the conference. from landslides and floods, to rising seas. but this is just one symptom of the sickness bringing our climates to its knees, a sickness only you, global leaders, can cure. mr sunak today wanted to reassure the world the uk is still a leader in climate action. when i'm at these meetings, i'll be incredibly proud, first and foremost, of the uk's record. we've cut our emissions faster than any other major economy, i can't say it enough. our targets that we have put in place for the future, again, more ambitious than pretty much any other major economy, so our record on this is fantastic. the mood today is optimistic, but the real test will be if these leaders can turn fine words on climate change into meaningful action. justin rowlatt, bbc news, dubai. buckingham palace has said it is considering all options, after the king and princess of wales were identified as two members of the royal family who allegedly discussed the skin colour of prince harry and meghan�*s son. the names appeared in a dutch translation of a book by omid scobie. he insists the naming was an error by the publisher. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell�*s report contains flasing images from the start. journalists shout. carrying on, as a storm rages around them. the prince and princess of wales at the royal albert hall last night. the princess is now revealed, alongside the king, as the royal family members who supposedly some years ago made some comments about the skin colour of the sussexes�* first baby. it is the king and the princess who are identified in the dutch edition of the latest royal book. the book's author, omid scobie, says he cannot understand how the names came to appear in print. the book i wrote, the book i edited, the book i signed off on, did not have names in it. but how well—founded is all of this? let's go back to the moment that started it all, meghan�*s interview in 2021 with oprah winfrey, when she said this... and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born. what? moments after the line which captured all the headlines, it becomes clear that meghan didn't actually hear the alleged remarks herself. there's a conversation with you...? with harry. about how dark your baby is going to be? potentially, and what that would mean or look like. ooh. that was relayed to me from harry, those were conversations that family had with him. in other words, meghan relied on harry's account of the conversation, and harry has subsequently placed the whole matter in a broader context. you speak to any other couple, mixed—race couple around the world, and you will probably find that the white side of the family have either openly discussed it or secretly discussed, what are the kids going to look like? again, for me, the difference is, unconscious bias and racism, but if you are called out for unconscious bias, you need to make that right. none of which will come as much comfort to buckingham palace, which, according to sources, is considering all options, and hoping that the public�*s attention will be on the king's speech to the climate conference, rather than the latest family drama. nicholas witchell, bbc news. israel has resumed its military strikes on gaza after a temporary ceasefire came to an end this morning. the israeli military accused hamas, which governs gaza and is designated a terrorist organisation by the uk government, of breaching the terms of a truce — which saw the release of 110 hostages held by hamas and 240 palestinian prisoners held by israel in recent days. the hamas—run health ministry says around 30 people have been killed since hostilities began again this morning. there has also been rocket fire from gaza aimed at southern israel. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega has the latest. war has returned to gaza. a ceasefire expired this morning.

correspondent anna foster is in southern israel now. anna — that temporary ceasefire allowd larger supplies of desperately needed humanitarian aid to reach civilians in gaza — what happens to aid trucks now? well, that is a really key question, katya, and it is one which i do not think we have a concrete answer to yet. i understand that no trucks of unitarian aid have today passed through the rafah crossing into gaza, and it is now after three o'clock in the afternoon. i also asked the israel defence forces earlier in the day what their interpretation of this was, whether they thought that it would also lead to another decrease in the amount of humanitarian aid and they said it was not clearjust humanitarian aid and they said it was not clear just yet, humanitarian aid and they said it was not clearjust yet, but what is for sure is that humanitarian organisations will be enormously concerned about this, they never wanted the humanitarian age to be wrapped into this deal for prisoner exchanges and a ceasefire, they always wanted it to be dealt with separately, but i think the concern is now that the ceasefire has broken down and the rest of the deal has broken down, that that will also mean that the larger amount of humanitarian aid which still did not meet the needs of the people in gaza will now drop to an even lower level again. will now drop to an even lower level aaain.

even at seven o'clock this morning, the time that the deal was supposed to come to an end, we didn't really know until the firing restarted whether or not they would manage to extend that deal, it really did go down to the wire, and we're told that there was intensive talks are still going on, we are told that they are still hoping that they can bring this back, but of course once the fighting resumes, as it has, and we have seen and heard it has, and we have seen and heard it here in southern israel this morning, it makes it more difficult to try and get back to a point of ceasefire. it destroys some of that, not necessarily goodwill, because there is no goodwill between these parties, but it destroys the trust which had been established over the last seven days or so. but we know that efforts are continuing, we know that efforts are continuing, we know that there are many people of course in israel who still have loved ones who are being held inside gaza, they will be putting pressure on the israeli government to try and get these restarted again, so that they can see further hostage releases, and in return, further exchanges of palestinian prisoners from israeli jails.

been speaking to the police this morning, who say that this was almost unprecedented in recent years the of violence that happened outside the game last night. this was a europa conference league game against legia warsaw and there had been a dispute in the run—up to the game about the allocation of tickets for the polish fans. they were unhappy, and they were even more unhappy, and they were even more unhappy when the authorities restricted that to just over 1000 tickets. but according to police, those were given to legia warsaw in the afternoon yesterday, fans were told to come here to pick them up, but for some reason they were not given to them, that is what sparked the violent disorder, and that is what led to running battles along this road here between the police and the fans of legia warsaw, which involved a lot of missiles being thrown, flares, and some missiles being thrown, as you can see, through the gap between the stands, into villa park, hitting some of the villa supporters. we know that four police officers were injured, the most seriously hurt was an officer who had a flair stuck in their uniform, they suffered from smoke inhalation, two police dogs, two police horses were also hurt in the violence last night, 46 people were arrested for various offences, including weapons offences, violent disorder and assault. and they are hoping to try and deal with those people over the next day or so. and it was a bad night for aston villa. the good news for them is that they are having a good season, they have now qualified for the knockout stages in the europa conference league, but the matter of those people who were arrested last night will have to be dealt with over the coming days. katya.— will have to be dealt with over the coming days. katya.

school closures could have been avoided in january 2021. he's been giving evidence for a second day as peter saull reports. all of this might feel like a distant memory. but the covid inquiry is bring it back in to the present. more than three years on we are hearing revelation after revelation from the man who was health secretary at the time. he has already said that the first lockdown could and should have come three weeks earlier, potentially saving tens of thousands of lives. today, another set of questions for matt hancock, this time about the debate raging in autumn 2020 about a second lockdown. again, he felt the government moved too slowly. fin government moved too slowly. on reflection and with hindsight, i think that if we had taken action sooner, in september of 2020 then we might for instance have avoided the need to close schools. previous witnesses have stressed how the then chancellor now prime minister of course, argued strongly against a second lockdown. and today, the inquiry was shown messages that highlighted matt hancock's frustration with rishi sunak at the time. the then health secretary writes about a meeting where rishi is in the room, contrary to the stupid rules so the prime minister would be under enormous pressure to not do enough once again. 50 pressure to not do enough once aiain. ., , ., ., again. so from the start we have tried to throw _

smells of the code of inquiry room smells of lowses though. matt hancock finished giving evidence 20 minutes ago, he failed a series of questions from lawyers representing different groups an organisation, he was asked for the first time at inquiry this morning about the transgression that led to him resigning as health secretary when he was caught on camera doing the opposite of social distancing, he said he had taken accountability for his actions but the fact that matt hancock broke the rules he himself was played a big part in setting is still something of an open wound for those who lost loved one, some who have gathered to see him off. it has not been an easy day—and—a—half for the former health secretary although he has given a robust defence at times of his action, he attempted to portray himself as someone who noticed the is seriousness of the situation, pushed for tough action through the pandemic and often felt the concerns when he raised them were ignored by others in government. but matt hancock also making that point today, that school closures could have been avoided in the early part of 2021. i think that will go on a fair amount of 2021. i think that will go on a fairamount of of 2021. i think that will go on a fair amount of attention, given the impact on children's education is still ongoing. the time is 13.18. our top story this afternoon. king

homeware chain the range. there are plans for hundreds of wilko stores to reopen over the next two years, starting with plymouth and exeter today. our south west england correspondent jenny kumah is in plymouth. lots of happy faces, jenny. yes, this is my local store and todayit yes, this is my local store and today it feels so different to how it felt a few weeks ago in the days when it was closing down, now i have been speaking to staff today, and they tell me it has been an emotional roller—coaster and they say they feel excited and proud to be the first team in the country, to bring wilko back to the high street. wilko is now open! a new era for an old household name. plymouth's shoppers were the first in the country to witness the rebirth of wilko. we'd better get them in, hadn't we? dozens queued an hour and a half before the doors opened, eager to be part of this moment. it's good to have the shop back open again. you can buy a bit of everything in here. and when you're in town, you canjust pop in. a few days after it shut and walking through here, i thought, _ "oh, that's really sad". it's a ghost town. yeah, it's nice to have wilko's back in town. it was kind of sad to see this entire store completely empty. the company collapsed back in august. 12,000 staff lost theirjob across 400 stores. workers said goodbye in style, posting on social media. many of the staff in this video, filmed in plymouth on their last day, are now back working here. it feels like a dream. i'm not going to lie. i never thought we would open the doors again. once we did actually a tiktok to close the doors and i thought that would be it once we left. and it's amazing. 30 of the 42 original team were rehired. some had secured newjobs after the closure but decided to come back. i knew everybody was coming back, so i wanted to come back with them to a place that was familiar to me. the business first started back in 1930. it grew quickly across the country, but over the years it lost its way, eventually running out of money. earlier this week, the former chair of the company apologised to staff and customers, saying she was devastated. genuinely, i don't know what you want me to say, but i have always... "sorry" was the one word i was looking for. you can have the word sorry, of course. i'm sorry, if you wish me to say the word "sorry". facing questions over a £50 million pension shortfall and the millions paid out to shareholders, miss wilkinson denied any financial mismanagement and said that covid, high rents and long leases were some of the reasons behind the company's failure. the brand is now in new hands with huge expansion plans. you're talking about hundreds of stores at a time when the high street is struggling. why do you think you can make it work? there's another set of overheads. that was then. this is now. we got no intentions of paying the overheads that all the people were paying. if we don't get the right rent, they don't get wilko. but the new owner of wilko thinks he's got the right plan in place to make it work this time. jenny kumah, bbc news, plymouth. the home office has told the bbc it has no plans to use two pontins holiday parks as accomodation for asylum seekers. pontins has said it is closing two sites — in camber sands and prestatyn in north wales — with immediate effect. the company apologised for any inconvenience caused and said all affected customers would be refunded. train drivers in the aslef union have begun fresh industrial action, bringing more disruption to rail passengers. the ban on overtime — expected to last for nine days — will also affect some services in scotland and wales. our business correspondent theo leggett is at london waterloo station. how bad is the disruption going to be? well, it is certainly going to be very widespread and at times depending on where you are it will be very bad, so that overtime ban that you mentioned has already begun, that continues until saturday 9th and the effect of that will vary depending on where you are in the country. some companies are better geared up to dealing with a lack of drivers than others so the advice is check before you travel. then on top of that there will be a series of one day rolling strikes affecting different companies on different days starting tomorrow and the companies tomorrow are east midland and lner, on sunday it is aa vanity west coast, chiltern and thameslink. that will have a severe impact because if you don't have enough drivers you can't run trains, that means on some line there's will be a skeleton service and on on others no service at all. and the unfortunate news is there doesn't seem to be an end to the this. aslef drivers have voted to continue with strike action for another six months if they need to. the union and the train companies are bandying accusation and counter accusation but there isn't a lot in meaningful negotiation.— isn't a lot in meaningful neiotiation. . ., ~ , , thanks for keeping us up—to—date three. after a bbc investigation found serious failings in the care of 51 young autistic people before they died, the minister for mental health says she's "acutely aware" of the challenges facing autism services. nearly half of the deaths were identified by coroners as relating to mental health or suicide. our reporter ruth clegg has been to meet some of those, campaigning for change. skaters fly. we literally fly. we defy gravity. not only has skateboarding taught rose to fly, she says it saved her life. the feeling you get when you go really fast and everything, the adrenaline rush — it certainly helps with mental health. after waiting nearly a year, rose has just recently been diagnosed with autism and adhd. and what do you think of this one? it's all right. because i skate there, it literally goes up, so you can't go very high on it. for many years she feels she has been misunderstood — by her school, by her local mental health services, which could have proved fatal. i know what it's like to be on the verge of suicide. it's like a horrible feeling. you don't want to die but you have no other options. just a few weeks ago, our investigation exposed serious and repeated failings in the care of young autistic people, and that is despite top level warnings from coroners. of the 51 deaths we identified, nearly half were mental health related. one of those was stefan. happy birthday to you... the 15—year—old died after being unable to access the therapy he so desperately needed. it sparked calls for his local health authority to take action, to prevent further deaths. and following our investigation, the minister for mental health said she was acutely aware of the problems facing autism services on a national level, and said it was a government priority. autistic children are 28 timeses more likely to think about or attempt suicide than the general population. to protect other young people, stefan's dad is working with nhs england, and is training the very services that failed his son if you think people like rose, people like my son stefan, from an early, early age have had this deficit narrative aimed at them. you can't do this, don't do that, sit still, look at me when i'm talking to you, you need this help, you need that help, you're not human, you're broken. and years and years of that, accumulating, results in trauma. it's for the middle of that bit. oh, yeah, that's it there. that is for this section and that's for that section. rose is designing her skateboard her way. her outlook of the world is nurtured here at this skateboarding academy in kent, where autistic children still sit exams, but in a completely different environment. what colour was you thinking of your base colour for this? did you have an idea? red, blue and yellow. red, blue and yellow? yeah. cool school was so much more difficult. when i went to school, because i don't really go any more, i always want to go to my skate lessons, because i'd know that the community and everything would make me feel better after a hard day at school. this was his skateboard. tristan's son stefans also found solace in skateboarding. one of the few times he could be himself. tristan is now trying to change the system, so all young autistic people can be themselves, where ever they are, whatever they need. that gives me a bit of a warm glow, knowing that i am doing something and perhaps leaving a bit of a legacy for stefan. he would be very proud of his dad. i know. hang on a minute... yeah, i hope so, i hope he's sitting up there, looking down on us, and saying, "go on dad, make a difference to those other children, so they don't have to go through what i went through." ruth clegg, bbc news. details of support around autism, or mental health are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline. birds of prey normally seen in scandinavia at this time of year have come here to us in the uk instead. large numbers of short eared owls have been flocking to the banks of the humber in east yorkshire. amanda white joined some wildlife enthusiasts to track them down. that's another one up, two up there. there's two from a distance. they're just everywhere! they're just everywhere. and that's their noise. really busy, aren't they? yes. these birds are so special. for them to have this habitat, and to be so close to where we live, and they're feeding, they're squabbling, aren't they? they are fighting for their own feeding territory, it has been amazing. these short eared owls have come across from the continent, from northern europe, scandinavia, western russia, due to the...must be the shortage of food in those areas. they are coming across to the east coast of england, all the way from northumberland down to north norfolk, to feed on the voles that we have here. we are getting people from birmingham, staffordshire, derbyshire, and down from newcastle, to see this fantastic habitat on the banks of the humber. it's been great. we've had five up at any one time. with two hen harriers at the same time. i think they are a very enigmatic species, aren't they, really? - forward facing eyes. everyone seems to like owls. you don't need the binoculars, you don't need a telescope. you just need your eyes, and to look. to absolutely look, and you will see short—eared owls, hen harriers, buzzard, barn owl. we've seen it all, haven't we? a cold snap that has hit the uk has brought snow to several parts of the country. some commuters braved snowfall and fog on the way into work, but these yorkshire residents took full advantage
