Over safety concerns. Ministers want to move hundreds more onto the Bibby Stockholm, some, though, have refused, launching legal challenges. This comes as the home office announced a task force to crack down on Rogue Lawyers who may be helping migrants to remain in the uk, under false claims. Ellie price reports. The first Asylum Seekers move into their new temporary home off the coast of dorset. 15 arrived yesterday on day one, but not everyone who was supposed to come here did. Weve had a small group of about 20, i believe, whove refused to come on board. Accommodation is offered on a no choice basis and i cant go into the details of the specific Legal Proceedings for each individual, but we are continuing to bring people on board later this week and then over the coming weeks as well. Today will be the first full day the new residents of the barge have to get used to their new surroundings. Were told therell be hourly buses to take them to nearby areas. But how local people feel about their arrival well, opinions are mixed. Chanting refugees are welcome here. For some, the welcome was warm, but the opposition to the policy clear. Im quite upset by the level of hatred thats been shown by some people, by no means all, i dont think most, in the local area towards the. What are going to be the residents of the barge Asylum Seekers. Charity begins at home. And for others, concerns over the impact on local services. I know more than anyone through my work with the food bank and the community fridge. Theresjust too much poverty on portland and this isnt helping. The government first floated the idea of this barge in april. Now this floating idea is a reality. Ellie price, bbc news, portland. Lets go to portland our reporter, harry farley, is there for us now. This has been very controversial. Weve seen protesters there in recent days. Have things quietened down now where you are . Yes.

Yesterday we had a number of protesters. Its very quiet this morning so far, there are no signs of those protesters either welcoming the migrants and opposing them being housed on the barge or opposing them coming to the area, concerns about pressure on local services. We have this morning seen one coach go into the port. Its a working port so there are a number of lorries and buses coming in and out. We saw one coach go in and there is an Hourly Service offering the Asylum Seekers trips into town, offer to see local sites, so that bass might well have been to do that. As you mentioned, 15 came yesterday, 15 have just spent their first night on board the Bibby Stockholm. Another 20 were due to come but refused and launched legal challenges for a number of reasons, one was because they were disabled, another was because they had a fear of water. That gives you a sense of how controversial and how mired in difficulties this issue has become.

The Chief Executive said there were a number of reasons for those challenges, one was because one of the clients was disabled so didnt feel able to come and stay on the Bibby Stockholm. Another had a fear of water after seeing people die at sea. The Home Office Said it has no choice policy, no choice for accommodation policy, for Asylum Seekers so they arent given any sort of say in where they are housed. That has conflicted with the home offices legal duty to make sure Asylum Seekers are not destitute so what we are seeing is that sort of tension worked out in practice. Its not clear what will happen to those Asylum Seekers who refuse to come and its not clear whether they will be forced to or whether they will be forced to or whether they will be forced to or whether they will be given alternative accommodation. Thank you for brin. In alternative accommodation. Thank you for bringing us alternative accommodation. Thank you for bringing us uptodate alternative accommodation. Thank you for bringing us uptodate on alternative accommodation. Thank you for bringing us uptodate on the for bringing us up to date on the situation in portland. The home office has announced a task force to identify potential Rogue Lawyers who might be encouraging false claims by migrants to help them remain here in the uk. Last week, the Solicitors Regulation Authority closed down three firms accused by the daily mail of charging Asylum Seekers thousands of pounds in return for Inventing Stories of ill treatment.

To ukraine now, where at least seven people have been killed in a Russian Missile attack on residential buildings in the eastern in the eastern ukrainian town of pokrovsk. 67 others were injured in the attacks, which came around a0 minutes apart. The head of the Donetsk Region said the strikes damaged a hotel as well as shops and administrative buildings. 0ur correspondent, james waterhouse, is in kyiv. He sent this update a little earlier. Pokrovsk is a town in the part of the Donetsk Region which ukraine still controls, but it is close to the front line and we were there in may, reporting on the thousands of people returning home to live there despite authorities urging them to stay away because of the very real risks. And these images, these pictures of two Missile Strikes in the centre are a reminder of how enduring those hazards are. We have stayed in the Hotel Druzhba and eaten in the mafia themed corleone restaurant. These are two major hubs in the middle which are widely used by civilians, theyre used by soldiers, theyre used by other journalists just like us. Its a real sort of unique hub in a part of the country which has seen so much fighting over the past nine years. Its possibly why we are told almost a0 Police Officers are among the injured. Seven people are known to have been killed so far, but rescue efforts have been made all the more difficult by the risk of shelling overnight. This is the reality for locations like pokrovsk, because of how close they are to the front line, because of how close they are to russian forces, it is a place comfortable comfortably within range of Artillery Fire and shorter range grad missiles which can cause so much devastation because of the shrapnel cores. So, as i say, we were there, we met staff on both the hotel and restaurant, they were both incredibly helpful. We hope they are ok, but when you look at what we are hearing overnight, there is a good chance that they probably are not. Antony blinken has warned of the danger of the Russian Military group wagner taking hold in kneejerk. The group is active in neighbouring countries and its leader welcomed the Military Takeover Indonesia in niger. She had conversations with thejunta in nigers capital. They said they are ready to defend themselves from the threat of outside Military Intervention after the expiry of a sunday deadline from the expiry of a sunday deadline from the western African Regional bloc ecowas. The group now plans to hold an Emergency Summit on thursday. Meanwhile, the us is suspending aid payments to niger but officials insist there is still time to resolve this crisis. The window of opportunity is definitely still open. We believe that the junta should step aside and allow president bazoum to resume his duties tomorrow, today, tomorrow, any time in the near future. I dont want to put an assessment on when that window would be closed, other than to say that using diplomacy to achieve this objective is our top priority in respect to niger. Bisa williams is a former Us Ambassador to niger. She told us more about the meeting between the Us State Department official, Victoria Nuland and the coup leaders. My understanding was that the Acting Deputy Secretary left the door open for continued discussions and that basically the united states, in what i considered a rare move, offered its good offices to try to help move towards a diplomatic solution. That would be my interpretation of that experience. Why do i think this First Encounter with the acting head of this junta was not more compliant or didnt seem to be all embracing . I think it is because it is the First Encounter. I also got the impression from reports ive heard that may be the Deputy Secretary really did not see the whole junta, so im not sure if there is still unity within that group right now. 0ur africa correspondent, catherine bieru hanga, has more. What weve had from the crew leaders and the new regime in niger is that they blame western interference, particularly from france, for hampering the countrys security situation. They said its been one of the reasons why niger has not been particularly affected in their assessment and fighting the Islamist Insurgency in the country. But when you look at the facts on the ground, niger has been doing better compared to neighbours like burkina faso and mali, and that in large part is due to the french president , american the french and American Military presence in the country. Both countries have thousands of troops in the country. They really rely on american and french funding. The military in niger, to be able to counter Islamist Insurgency in the country. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making news. Three hill walkers have been found dead after failing to return from a trek in glen coe. The bodies of two men and a woman were discovered during a search of a ridge, in an area popular with climbers. A Police Spokeswoman said there do not appear to be any suspicious circumstances.

A vehicle that has been dressed in lgbtq flags. She was a big campaign in the area. She lived in the area for 15 years. We are expecting thousands of people to line the streets ahead of that private funeral due to take place in ireland and we will be following that live here on bbc news so do stay with us. Since the pandemic, millions of people have been using zoom to communicate remotely. Now the company has ordered its staff to get back to the office for at least two days a week if they live within 50 miles of any of them within 15 miles. It believes the structured hybrid approach was most effective but what does this mean and how could it impact the employees . Live now to drjane parry, Associate Professor of work and employment at the university of southampton. We are looking at this hybrid approach and we are seeing zoom, the company itself that allows these working and meetings from home, do you think were going to see this and other companies, this hybrid working .

We are seeing it in all companies that used to be office based. Weve seen this big transition so obviously during the pandemic we all had to work from home all the time, there was no option otherwise. Then after the pandemic, organisations have the opportunity to hold onto what had been good about working remotely and to mix it with the way we used to work so technology has given us the opportunity to do that and for the past 18 months or so, organisations have been going through an experimentation period. What works best for their organisation. Now they are getting to the point where they are getting to the point where the deciding that Operating Models deciding what Operating Models work and how to formalise that. In 2021 if they had said that you can work from home three days a week, we would have thought it was amazing, but now because there are so many possibilities, its been kind of refrain something quite surprising but its just the kind of natural progression of a new way of Working Thatis Progression of a new way of working that is going to be so different for different parts of your work forces depending on thejob different parts of your work forces depending on the job you do, depending on the job you do, depending on the job you do, depending on your personal circumstances. Organisations are trying to put some kind of number on it in reality they will probably be more flexible than that if they are going to get the best out of their workforces. For going to get the best out of their workforces going to get the best out of their workforces. ,. ,. , workforces. For some people, Working From Home Can workforces.

Overall, do you think people are better off with hybrid working . I think people are better off with hybrid working . Think people are better off with hybrid working . I think there are lots of different hybrid working . I think there are lots of different groups. Hybrid working . I think there are lots of different groups. People | hybrid working . I think there are. Lots of different groups. People who are able to work who might not have been able to five days a week in the office like parents or carers, people with long term conditions, not people sitting at home in their pyjamas, they are people who are able to balance it with their lives better, but there are also people who want to be in the office more for him working from home all the time is not conducive to their careers. Young people who want to get on and make networks, their homes want to be as suitable for homes want to be as suitable for home working as people who have had houses for 20, 30 years. So the challenge for employers is configuring workplaces where people can come in different amounts of time according to their needs but most importantly, getting people in work at the right time so they can do the meaningful collaboration together. Its no good if you say, you must be in the two days but you dont know which two days teams are going to be in. That needs to happen in meaningful ways. You going to be in. That needs to happen in meaningfulways. Going to be in. That needs to happen in meaningfulways. In meaningful ways. You are saying a lot of it is about in meaningful ways. You are saying a lot of it is about structure in meaningful ways. You are saying a lot of it is about structure and lot of it is about structure and knowing where you are, which of course can help, and it could help Mental Health as well. How much does this impact Mental Health and that commute, so many of us were commuting one hour into the office, that was quite normal whereas now they are not. Talk me through the impacts on Mental Health that you might be seeing. Impacts on Mental Health that you might be seeing. There were some im acts might be seeing. There were some impacts on might be seeing. There were some impacts on mental might be seeing. There were some impacts on Mental Health might be seeing. There were some impacts on Mental Health during i might be seeing. There were some. Impacts on Mental Health during the pandemic. It was a huge number of things feeding into that. Obviously the pandemic is going to be something that drives anxiety anyway but people who lived alone, who didnt have that kind of Support Network on a day to day basis but also uncertainty can play into Mental Health difficulties, not knowing what your employer is doing, so that can be when it is helpful for your manager to sit down and talk to you about what their expectations are and how they can make that work for you. The huge amount of work and i was going on to managers to make a success out of this, we are perhaps going to be valuing different kinds of managers, people who are good at communicating, very open about whats going on in the organisation. It creates an environment where people are comfortable to talk about their circumstances and how they can work in the most productive way and make that work for the organisation.

Leaders from South America that share the amazon are meeting in the Northern City of belem to discuss regional measures to save the rainforest, this as the latest figures show deforestation has fallen a whopping 66 since lula came to power. Lula has promised zero deforestation by 2030, but is that a realistic goal . Our South America correspondent katy watson now reports from par , the most deforested state in brazil. Virgin forest still exists here in the amazon but every day the illegal loggers get closer. For those living under the rain forest� s canape, its been a difficult few years.

Its become so popular in this part of the amazon that authorities have accused carbon Credit Companies of harassment, Pressuring Community to sign contracts. Bianca and herfamily, like many in the region, want Better Services like schools and Health Centres that they are suspicious of these newcomers offering to help. Its not that transparent.

Just to get to this part of the amazon, it took 13 hours overnight on a riverboat. Now this smaller boat to get to the communities here. If you look on a map, it all looked so close together and itjust goes to show how vast the amazon is but also how difficult it is to navigate and ultimately how difficult it will be for lula to achieve his zero deforestation by 2030. This is hernandez� s plantation, the tools and training funded by a carbon credit company. Last year, the community had to drive out five illegal Sawmills Felling Trees from the land. But defending their territory from loggers is an Impossible Task on their own. Partnering with those who have the funds is the only option. For the company, empowering the community is key. So too is empowering the region as a whole. When global north comes to global south and says, i have a solution, we are like, really . Have you been to the amazon . How do you know whats good for them . Have your boots on the ground. So its very easy to say i have the solution. People here want South Americas voice heard before its too late.
