Coming up on bbc news, england Quarterfinal Opponents will be columbia who got the better of jamaica and the womens world cup of a i jamaica and the womens world cup of a i 01 jamaica and the womens world cup of a i 01 victory. Hello. Thousands of people, including politicians and pop stars have turned out, to pay tribute to the singer, Sinead Oconnor. The private Funeral Service took place in her hometown of bray in County Wicklow, with well wishers lining the streets, as the cortege passed by. She died in london last month, at the age of 56. Colin paterson has the story. They had come in their thousands to pay tribute to that woman they loved. My mother is 93 and she wanted to come out here. It was your mums idea . Yes. She was a woman that spoke what she wanted, you know . Yeah. For the people. She was a warrior and a weapon standing up to the powers that be before anyone else was. I Sinead Oconnor lived on the Sea Front In Bray County Wicklow for 15 years. She loved the town. We love you and the town loved her back. Even the hills were honouring her. The Funeral Cortege included a vw van with a sound system on the roof, which pulled up right outside her old house and tellingly blasted out bob marley, the very singer whose song Sinead Oconnor sang on Saturday Night Live before ripping up a picture of the pope. Fans had flown in from all over europe, including the netherlands. I have been a fan now for 33 years. And i think her songs saved my life. Now the cortege has gone, many in the crowd are making their way to Sinead Oconnors house to spend their own moment of contemplation in front of it, many writing a note, or leaving flowers. Good night and joy. Shes like a patron saint, isnt she . I think everybody come to pay their respects to sinead and honour her, the trail blazer that she was, she spoke the truth, the irish people loved her and well miss her, shell be very, very sadly missed. Earlier a private Funeral Service had included prayers led by an iman to reflect her islamic faith. Bob geldof was amongst those invited, while Hothouse Flowers lead singer, liam maonla , was in the crowd. She went in there to crazy territories for us. For the nation. And for the world. Nothing compares to you. In the video for nothing compares to you, Sinead Oconnor shed two of the most famous tears in music history, today the crying was all for her. Thousands of students across scotland, have been getting their exam results for their nationals, highers, and advanced highers, and the pass rate has fallen. The figures however remain above pre pandemic levels, as the Scottish Qualifications Authority continues to make allowances for the disruption caused by covid. If we take a look at the numbers in detail, 140,000 pupils received their results, with a pass rate for the higher exam at 77. 1 , slightly down on last year. The advanced higher pass rate is 79. 8 , again slightly down. While the national 5 pass rate was 78. 8 . Well have analysis from our education editor, branwenjeffreys, but heres our scotland correspondent, james shaw. Holly . And chloe . The moment of truth for thousands of pupils across scotland. Absolutely over the moon, so happy, its unbelievable and for some the last chapter of an educational experience defined by covid. Their teachers say these pupils at Hamilton Grammar School have shown extraordinary resilience in the face of difficulties that previous generations could not even have imagined. It was a lot of hard worki during the exams, it was definitely the most stressful period of my life, but its all paid off. Im very happy as well actually. Some things i was a bit unsure coming towards like what actually could happen, but yeah, im very happy. Feeling great, into uni regardless, got an unconditional offer, exams have been quite. They have been all right, crashed a few subjects, so its been a new experience for me. Relief for some, anxiety for others who dont dont have the results that they need. The Scottish Education Secretaryjenny Gilruth visited a helpline line centre which opened today offering support to students who might be wondering what happens next. The Scottish Government will face questions about its aspiration to close the Attainment Gap between young people in the most affluent and least affluent areas. They insist that the situation has improved since 2019. But Education Experts say it is much more complicated than that. So the Attainment Gap, the poverty related Attainment Gap, has increased year on year from this year to last. And also the Attainment Gap is slightly lower than year than it was in 2019 immediately before the pandemic. It is at that same stagnant level of unacceptably high levels of inequality in the years that we saw that led up to 2019. Ministers are Making Millions of pounds available to try to improve the life chances of disadvantaged pupils, but teachers know it is a long, slow process. Its for individuals who possibly havent had the best start in life and we are looking to level that Playing Field and make the difference for them. So every school is taking forward that agenda, thats early years, primary schools, a well primary schools, as well as secondaries and we get to the sharp end of it, we are, it needs to come out the other side in terms of better outcomes. The Scottish Education system has taken some hard knocks in the last few years. The question now, what shape is it in as it emerges from the covid crisis . James shaw, bbc news, hamilton. 0ur education editor, branwenjeffreys, is here. What do you take from these results . We are seeing patterns that we will see in the other nations in the next couple of weeks as we get a level results. The first is a return to the kind of grades we had in 2019 when exams were fully in place. Small adjustments have been made, but it is more a return to normal. But that gap between the children from the least advantaged back grounds, scotland is not unique in being worried about that. Children have such different home circumstances, different support from families and in england and wales last year, gcse results had that gap at a ten year high. We will be looking at that kind of gap and whether progress is being made in the coming weeks. 15 men have spent their first night on the governments new Accommodation Barge for Asylum Seekers in dorset, with more expected aboard the vessel, the Bibby Stockholm later in the week. 20 people have so far refused move in beginning legal challenges. Danjohnson sent this report from portland, where the barge is moored.

But it is not a prison and some are exploring their surroundings. Have spoken to one asylum seeker, he didnt want to say asylum seeker, he didnt want to say a lot or be filmed, but he said he flew here he didnt come on a boat, his wife is back in the country he came from, perhaps he is nervous of endangering her if he says too much orjeopardising his asylum claim.

For the first time in nearly half a century, South American leaders are meeting to discuss the future of the amazon rainforest, and how best to protect it from deforestation, Climate Change and environmental crime. 60 of the amazon is located in brazil where the summit is taking place, but the rainforest crosses eight countries. The brazilian president , Lula Da Silva called the meeting, and says hes committed to zero deforestation by 2030. Since coming to power injanuary, hes transformed the amazons fortunes. Under the former leader, jair bolsonaro, 1500 sq km of rainforest had been cut down in the year to august 2022. That figures dropped by 66 so far this year, with 500 sq km of Land Deforested the lowest rate in six years. The meeting of South American leaders is taking place in the city of belem, in brazils most deforested state, para, from where katie watson reports. Virgin forest still exists here in the amazon, but every day the illegal loggers get closer. From up high you can see the damage done, the large patches of land totally cleared. This part of brazil has the highest rate of deforestation in the country. President lula has promised to fix the problem, telling the bbc that this summit would be a Game Changers.

For those living under the rainforest difference. For those living under the rainforest canopy, difference. For those living under the rainforest canopy, like difference. For those living under l the rainforest canopy, like hobson, its been a difficult few years. Translation you have no idea how much pressure i there was in our community under the bolsonaro government. Landowners circling planes, soya farmers wanting to buy the land to deforest it. But hobson and his trees stood firm. He is growing sustainable crops instead. Hes buying into a booming carbon credit industry, taking part in Sustainable Farming projects that sell Carbon Credits to companies wanting to offset their emissions. But not everyone is convinced. Bianca and herfamily, like many in the region, want Better Services like schools and health centers. But they are suspicious of carbon Credit Card Companies offering to help them. Translation it is not that transparent. I we cannot see how it would give us a secure life. We are always on the back foot and fear the consequences. Because of the stories we heard, we decided not to sign a contract. How to ensure the future of the amazon improve the lives of the more than 30,000 people is the biggest challenge facing the group of leaders in belem. Just to get to this part of the amazon, it took 13 hours overnight on a riverboat and now this smaller boat to get to the communities here. But if you look on a map, it all looks so close together and itjust goes to show how vast the amazon is, but also how difficult it is to navigate and ultimately, also how difficult it will be for lula to achieve his zero deforestation by 2030. Which is why he needs the backing of all of the countries that share the amazon. Leaders are expected to offer solutions to illegal logging and mining, moving away from big Infrastructure Projects and trying to provide basic services to those most in need. Money talks, and without offering a better life for those who live in the forest, any discussion of conservation is pointless. Katie watson, bbc news in para.

The american vegan food firm, beyond meat, says its sales in the Second Quarter of the year have plummeted by almost a third, compared to the same period last year. The manufacturer of plant based burgers, nuggets and sausages, says its due high inflation. Our new York Business correspondent, Michelle Fleuryjoins us. So are these products just too expensive for the weekly shop . Yes, i mean, it did seem for a while that beyond meat was making its way onto every dinner plate to put the meteoric growth in this kind of plant based Meat Alternative is over, far cry from 2019 when the company had the hottest Stock Market Debut of any firm since the 2008 financial crisis, and inflation is a major reason. People arent willing to pay the premium any more. I was walking here and stopped by a supermarket and looked at the and ground beef was a pack of 500 grams was around 55 , 55p i should say, more expensive than the fresh Meat Alternative and while it might not sound like a great deal, when the cost of everything is going up, especially food prices, every penny counts. The other thing is, one analyst said the plant based food industry, the brands are perceived by some consumers as being too woke which is also hurting sales. And then there is a sense that the number of people who consider it healthier or betterfor number of people who consider it healthier or better for the environment, that number has gone down, so beyond meat is in this area where they say, look, the prospects for us still look good and the even hired Kim Kardashian last year as they chief taste consultant, but even the Mega Influence has not been able to change peoples taste. Thank you, michelle. While many western economies are struggling with high levels of debt after the covid years, made worse by punishing interest rates, and sluggish productivity, ireland is bucking the trend. It has a massive Budget Surplus, plenty of money once the bills are paid, worth tens of billions of pounds. Its down to the republics economic model, based on attracting big globalfirms. 0ur ireland correspondent chris page has that story from dublin. Ireland is traditionally known as the land of saints and scholars, but its become the land of software and science. This part of dublin is home to so many global tech firms that its nicknamed silicon docks. The presence of some of the Richest Companies on earth means the public purse is bulging. Corporation taxes have grown quite significantly in the last number of years. Theyve essentially doubled. So i think sometimes, internationally, people looking into this think its all an Accounting Bubble and its all about International Tax treaties and stuff like that, and theres nothing real. But i think if you look around and if you look at the data, the Irish Economy is in a very, very strong position at the moment. Irelands Budget Surplus for this year is set to be almost £9 billion, and its thought the annual figure will rise. By 2026, its forecast to be £18 billion. All in all, if these trends are being predicted correctly, over the next four years, the tax bounty will generate a total Budget Surplus of about £56 billion. Butjust a mile across the river liffey, those riches can feel a world away. The north inner city is one of the most deprived areas in one of europes wealthiest capitals. An acute shortage of Affordable Housing is biting hard. Were seeing a lot of this community being left behind, being left behind of policy making, being left behind ofjob opportunities, of education opportunities. For people here, does it feel to them that they are living in a country that is that wealthy . Were not seeing it when were talking about Cost Of Living, when were talking about high energy bills. There really is a massive gap between rich and poor, and its just getting wider and wider, chris. Homelessness in ireland is at a record high, but the Housing Crisis has wider effects too. Many Young Professionals have all but given up on buying a home because their rent is so expensive. Theres more than disappointment. Theres anger about it. And i cant remember the last time i met up with a group of friends and we werent all going, oh, god, so stressful, state of housing. So what do you think the government should be doing with tens of billions of a Budget Surplus . Id really like to see, while they have the budget to do something about it, that theyre investing in the future. 0nlyjust over a decade ago, there was an economic meltdown. The government says the surplus and stability shouldnt be taken for granted. Its really important that as a country that we dont engage in any hubris here. I dont want any future government to face the kind of decisions we had to make 12 years ago around reducing pay and cutting back on Infrastructure Spending and cutting back on services. Ireland is now billions in the black rather than the red. But as the cash pile rises, peoples expectations are increasing too. Chris page, bbc news, dublin.

With a Deep Midwinter weather forecast. Heres stav da naos. Its looking a little bit better for the next few days, and i dont blame clive for feeling like that the way its been across Southern Britain but it will be turning dry and warm for most of us but its going to be a short lived spell of warm weather. And a bit of an atrocious day across southern areas, drizzle, longer spells of rain, cloud, mist and merck but not a bad day across Northern England and Northern Ireland and scotland with good sunny spells. Through the evening and overnight the rain peters out across the south and we hold onto some drizzle and missed across the far south west but most places will be clear and it will be clear and a chilly night across the north and tomorrow better day for wednesday across england and wales and we should see more sunshine but there will be some variable cloud as well in the best of the Sunshine Paps across scotland and temperatures creeping up between 19 and 2a degrees and that is the theme for things to come on thursday as we import warm and humid airfor the near continent so it will be a warm, muqqy near continent so it will be a warm, muggy start across the board and there will be variable cloud but a lot of sunshine particularly through central and southern areas so temperatures will respond and we could be in the mid to high 205 from north to south across the country, so feeling a lot warmer than what we have been used to. But it is short lived because the area of low pressure throws a Weather Front across the country during friday and that means temperatures will come down and we will see showers or longer spells of rain and some of the rain might be quite sundry across central and northern parts. Fewer showers in the south and east but it will bring the temperatures down somewhat and sell in the north and west we are down to what we had been used to and still up to the mid 205 across the south east
