Turbulence itself is turbulence. Yes, a very sad incident. Turbulence itself is not particular unusual, but yes, we dont often hear of somebody actually dying as a result. So this was something that has affected a flight from London Heathrow to singapore that departed, we think, at about 10 30pm last night. Singapore airlines has confirmed it did hit severe turbulence and diverted to bangkok, landing there at about 3115 local time. As you say, more than 200 passengers were on board, 18 crew. We dont have details at the moment of who exactly it was that has sadly died, or their nationality. Not even whether it was a passenger or a member of crew. We are lacking in detail at the moment of the exact circumstances, the exact nature of how they sadly came to die. Singapore airlines has offered its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased, and experts have been saying to us today that turbulence is something that planes are built to try to withstand. The crew are trained to deal with it but sometimes it can be difficult to deal with and it is not always easy to predict. People try to predict as best they can, but sometimes, you know, you are the first plane to fly through turbulence and it can be hard to deal with. � turbulence and it can be hard to deal with turbulence and it can be hard to dealwith. � ,. ,. , deal with.

The point of that is safety and to make sure that people dont get hurt but in this case a number of people have been hurt and somebody has sadly lost their life. A lot more detail to emerge, but for the moment, thank you. Ihe middle east, medical workers in israel have told the bbc graphic allegations about the treatment of palestinian detainees. Staff at the Sde Teiman Military hospital say detainees are routinely kept shackled to hospital beds, blindfolded, sometimes naked, and forced to wear nappies a practice one medic said amounted to torture. In response, the israeli army said that handcuffing of detainees in the Sde Teiman Military hospital was carried out in cases where the Security Risk requires it and that nappies were used only for those who have undergone medical procedures. Lets speak to our middle east correspondent, Lucy Williamson who carried out the bbc� s investigation lucy take us through yourfindings. Well, we spoke to three doctors who worked at the Sde Teiman Military hospital, two of them who worked in the early weeks after the hamas attacks in october and one, a senior doctor, was still working there. We also spoke to many other people with good knowledge of the issues. A palestinian man who was to detained by israel and human rights groups. Many of the people who spoke to us directly about what they sought within the facility wanted to remain anonymous because this is such a sensitive issue. But they made a range of allegations, that pain relief on occasion was denied, that patients in the Hospital Unit were routinely shackled to their beds, and that request for medical treatment sometimes went ignored. Sufian abu saleh survived months of war unscathed. He left military detention in israel permanently disabled. A taxi driver from khan younis, released without charge after weeks of interrogation. His return soured by sadness. Translation my leg got infected and turned blue l and soft as a sponge. After seven days they took me to the Military Hospital. They operated twice to clean the wound but it didnt work. Afterwards they took me to a Public Hospital where the doctor gave me two options my leg or my life. Neither israels army nor Health Ministry has responded to these allegations. There is growing concern over the medical care of gazan detainees in israel. Classed as unlawful combatants even before interrogation, doctors say they are kept shackled and blindfolded, including during hospital treatment. Allegations have centred on a new Field Hospital at the Sde Teiman Military base. One senior medic there says patients are kept blindfolded and in nappies, with all four limbs handcuffed to the bed. The army, not me, they create the patient to be depending 100 on you like a baby. You are cuffed, you are with diaper, you need the water, you need everything. It is the dehumanisation of them. The army told us that the need to handcuff detainees in the medical facility was examined individually and daily and that cuffing was done when the Security Risk required it. Diapers or nappies it said, were only for those patients with limited movement. The doctor told us these measures were applied to all patients without assessment, even those who couldnt walk. If they cant stand on their legs why are they shackled . I cant answer this, this is stupid. The hamas attacks on the 7th Of October left israels hospital staff treating captured fighters alongside their israeli victims. Many current detainees are released without charge but the complex feelings of some medics remain. Two medics told us painkillers had been withheld, causing what one described as an unacceptable amount of pain. This man, who we are calling yoni, described a case he said took place in a public, civilian hospital. His words have been voiced by an actor. I have knowledge of one case where the painkillers were used selectively during the procedure. If you put together that someone is undergoing an invasive procedure which involves even incisions and the patient doesnt know about that and is blindfolded, then the line between treatment and assault thins out. Treating Gazan Captives on military sites was meant to resolve doctors ethical dilemmas, but those dilemmas remain. The moment our hospital at sde teiman closes, one told me, we will celebrate. Lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. Lucy, telling me about any other impressions you have of that Military Hospital facility . Military hospitalfacility . Well, i think it is important Military Hospitalfacility . Well, i think it is important to Military Hospitalfacility . Well, i think it is important to say Military Hospitalfacility . Well, i think it is important to say that l think it is important to say that the doctors we spoke to said they had been some small improvements, and the doctor we heard from in our report there said that he had encouraged the guards to loosen the handcuffs and to use different kinds of handcuffs, and that when he was in the Operating Theatre he made sure that the shackles were removed during operations, during those serious procedures. But the ethical complexity around this issue remains. The sde teiman Field Hospital was set up after the hamas attacks to take the pressure off, the dilemmas away from the Public Health system. We have heard from several doctors hear about how complicated that was in the days after the attack, when doctors and nurses in the Public Hospitals here found themselves treating suspected hamas fighters who had been captured in israeli territory, sometimes in the same Emergency Departments as they were treating their victims. That has left a really complex legacy. This Sde Teiman Hospital was an attempt by the government to take that burden away, but again, speaking to the doctor who was talking in our report there, he says he is under enormous pressure now from both sides. There are some of his colleagues, he says, who tell him that he should not be operating in this environment, where people are shackled, patients are shackled to their bed. Other colleagues tell him he should not be there at all to treat these gals and detainees. Luca; treat these gals and detainees. Lucy williamson. Treat these gals and detainees. Lucy williamson, thank treat these gals and detainees. Lucy williamson, thank you. Gaza. Funeral processions for iranian president Ebrahim Raisi have begun after his body was recovered on monday from the wreckage of a helicopter crash. Other ceremonies will take place across the country before hes buried on thursday with irans supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei, will preside over the main ceremony. Rescue teams found no survivors from the crash, which happened on sunday as mr raisi was flying back from a trip to irans northern neighbour, azerbaijan. The Iranian Foreign minister was also killed. The cause of the crash hasnt yet been established. With me is bbc persian� s baran abbasi. Huge crowds out on the street for this first ceremony.

It was the first day of the ceremony that will last until thursday, and the bodies will be transferred through a number of cities before Ebrahim Raisi is buried in his home town. But the crowds dont represent the entire iranian population and it does not mean that hamas was a popular person amongst iranians. He was a very divisive figure Ebrahim Raisi. When he took power it was largely uncontested and many of his rivals, including reformers, and also in 2022 his presidency was overshadowed by protests and he was believed to have had a hand in the killing of hundreds of protesters.

I was reading that senior prosecutors are saying that they will try to arrest anyone behind online accounts who are criticising Ebrahim Raisi and saying they are cloud that this has happened. Exactly. We already have reports that some people have been arrested because they indirectly expressed some kind of happiness or satisfaction over his death. We had a lot of posts yesterday of people who had lost loved ones during the protest, people who had suffered life changing injuries during protests, and they were posting pictures of themselves dancing and being happy and celebrating.

Well, as your| colleague was also saying, iran in your opinion . Well, as your i colleague was also saying, iran is coming out of two years of massive Anti Government protests, and a Freedom Movement but also a deadly crackdown of this. So the government is dealing with a series legitimacy crisis. A young generation particularly opposed with their radical political slogans that they have chanted during the protest. So i would call it a very Polarised Society situation. You have mourners, of course, on the street. You will also have Funeral Processions, but to the other extreme people are actually celebrating and expressing joy at the death of the president. So it is legitimacy crisis that has been building up because of the grievances that have not been addressed by the state, by the Central Government over the years, and it has manifested itself in the form of Street Protests again again.

Yes, so the i discontent, the opposition and the protests, really the spark of it was the death in custody, the killing of the death in custody, the killing of the young woman who was a feminist, there was an uprising of youngsters. But also allies, intersectional communities of the society who have their own political, social and economic grievances against the country. But particularly women. This Freedom Movement because they are at the centre of this policy, the government � s the policing of their lifestyle, of their attire, what they wear every day that they go out in public, in the form of the morality police, this force that has really become a force of harassment. Public harassment and violence against women. That was the core, the start of the Freedom Movement. Ebrahim raisi was an ultraconservative religious clergy and he came from that background where he promised actually that form of crackdown, and we see that culminating in the formation of this women life freedom of movement. Thank you forjoining us. As you can see, pictures coming life to us from tehran. The Funeral Processions for Ebrahim Raisi, but also for other victims of this helicopter crash.

Here in the uk, the covenant is expected to outline plans for a Compensation Scheme for victims of the nhs a contaminated Blood Scandal. It comes after a report, released on monday, outlined how there were years of deceptions and cover ups by doctors and successive governments preventing people who were infected, and theirfamilies, from knowing what had happened. More than 30,000 people were infected with diseases like hiv and hepatitis c between the 19705 and 1990s. 3,000 have already died. Rishi sunak said the episode brought shame upon the british state.
