prevail in this military face of this, experts say could take up to a year. the former minister made that pointjust in the last 2a hours. so the idea that they will get to a kind of stable occupation status where they can patrol and secure security without risk to themselves is probably a long way off and possibly a mirage entirely. so who are the leaders, _ possibly a mirage entirely. so who are the leaders, who _ possibly a mirage entirely. so who are the leaders, who are - possibly a mirage entirely. so who are the leaders, who are the - possibly a mirage entirely. so who l are the leaders, who are the players who can come in to try at some point whenever that may be, to broker some kind of framework for negotiations? at the moment all sides have got the leadership that they do not deserve. hamas are horrific but the trouble is that rivals the palestinian authority who rule in west bank are geriatric, out of touch, cynical and have done very little for their people. on the other side of the aisle you have a prime minister benjamin netanyahu who has become hugely controversial with his own people even before this, one of the things which distracted him was the massive internal demonstrations against his attempt to undermine the independence of the judiciary in israel and so you have got a whole bunch of very flawed leadership around the table for this. and i think this will go one of two ways, either these old men will sit some at the table together, i do not know how successful it will be all we will see on both sides moved towards younger political leadership, a new leadership both in israel and the occupied territories.— leadership both in israel and the occupied territories. thank you for bein: with occupied territories. thank you for being with us _ occupied territories. thank you for being with us this _ occupied territories. thank you for being with us this evening. - that's all from us tonight. a former director of engineering at the technology company meta, whosejob once involved maintaining user safety on instagram, has told us politicians he believes the platform has failed to tackle the levels of sexual harassment that teenagers are exposed to on the app. arturo bejar testified this afternoon in washington, saying he knew it meant he wouldn't work in the tech industry again. our technology editor zoe kleinman reports. the hours spent scrolling, posting stylish photos and messaging mates, the friendly face of one of the world's most popular social media apps, instagram. if you would stand, please? today, one of the developers behind the app, arturo bejar, told us lawmakers he had raised concerns with the firm's top bosses about the amount of harassment and unwanted explicit content sent to young teens. alarm bells rang when he saw first—hand the experiences will of his own daughter and her friends. it is unacceptable that a 13—year—old girl gets propositioned on social media. we don't tolerate unwanted sexual advances against children in any other public context. and they can similarly be prevented on facebook, instagram and other social media products. he claims that data about the amount of unwanted sexual and misogynistic content sent to is—is—year—olds has been ignored by the tech giant. he showed me e—mails to meta founder mark zuckerberg, flagging his concerns. you have to tap and hold a message to report it. arturo bejar thinks there should be a simpler way to flag anything you get that makes you feel uncomfortable. meta says, "working with parents and experts, we have also introduced over 30 tools to support teams and theirfamilies in having safe, positive experiences online." one thing you can do right now is check your privacy settings. i would suggest that people constantly check the privacy, check your settings there, because that is always where there will be some information about how the information is shared, what content you want to see. but don'tjust do it once. keep doing it because these settings change. in the uk, the new online safely act has tough penalties for firms which fail to protect children, and there are already lawsuits in the us about the impact of social media on teen mental health. meta says its work in this area is ongoing. zoe kleinman, bbc news. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. a murder investigation has been launched after a 15—year—old boy was stabbed near a school in leeds. emergency services were called to town street in horsfoth, near st margaret's primary school, just before three o'clock this afternoon. the boy, a former student at nearby horsfoth school, later died in hospital. police say two teenage boys have been arrested in connection with the incident. at the covid inquiry, lord udny—lister, a former chief of staff to boris johnson, confirmed that early in the pandemic, the then prime minister offered to be injected with covid—i9 on television to "demonstrate to the public that it did not pose a threat". the family of captain sir tom moore have lost their planning application appeal, meaning they have to demolish an unauthorised spa building in their garden. hundreds of people have attended a memorial service for bbc news presenter george alagiah, who died injuly. colleagues and family members paid tribute to one of british television's best—loved figures. you're live with bbc news. king charles has delivered his first king's speech to parliament, outlining the uk government's priorities. will among the announcements, there was a focus on crime — with tougher sentences for those who commit the worst crimes, and more rights for victims. new licences will be awarded for oil and gas projects in the north sea. there'll also be a law to allow driverless cars on britain's roads. but the king warned of difficult decisions ahead, as our political editor chris mason reports. hats and stockings, precedent and custom. a spectacle long before there were cameras to capture it, wherever they now hover. this, the fanciest fancy dress party you will ever see, illustrates something vital about how we're governed. the pageantry of monarchy, yes, but ultimately, the power of parliament. the commons speaker's outfit quite the assembly. are we ready? at every ritual, there are those performing their role for the first time. today, that was true of the prime minister and the king and the queen. the playlist at the state opening of parliament sounds and looks like this — fanfare and symbolism. the door to the commons slammed in the face of an official to underline its independence. close the door! and look closely if you're a good lip—reader. political adversaries share small talk as they walk to the house of lords to listen. the king began by reflecting on the loss of his mum, and then read out the government's plans, including inviting companies every year to apply to drill oil and gas under the north sea. this bill will support the future licensing of new oil and gas fields, helping the country to transition to net zero by 2050 without adding undue burdens on households. a central theme of today was crime. in england and wales, there'll be whole life sentences for the worst murders, rapists won't be released early, and reasonable force will be justified to try to make sure defendants turn up to hear their sentencing. my government will act to keep communities safe from crime, anti—social behaviour, terrorism and illegal migration. the government also wants to ban young people from smoking. the scottish and welsh governments agree, and there's support for it in northern ireland, too. my government will introduce legislation to create a smoke—free generation by restricting the sale of tobacco so that children currently aged 1a or younger can never be sold cigarettes. order! hours later, the roaring return of familiar politics, and a tussle over the rightful owner of a powerful word. and above all, this king's speech delivers change. change in our economy, change in our society, change in our communities. it takes long—term decisions for a brighterfuture. the labour leader claimed recent by—election wins show it is he who represents change. victories that have reduced the party opposite, now nearly 14 years in power, to the desperate spectacle of claiming it offers change away from itself. today's address shows just how ridiculous that posturing is. the debate over the king's speech isjust beginning, and will dominate the coming days here. what we so badly need to see is the powers over our economy, the powers over energy policy, the powers over employment law, transferred from this place to holyrood. when you speak to people on the street, you know what is worrying them. it is the cost of living crisis. it is the cost of inequality in the uk crisis but that wasn't what this government wanted to talk about. the arguments are on as the ornate outfits are taken off, the ceremonial sand swept, the king's horses and carriage now gone. for others, more modern transport home, and leaving those hats on for a few moments more. while king charles was opening parliament, his son the prince of wales was right here in singapore handing our awards in the earthsot prize. five environmental innovations have each won awards worth £1 million — that's about $1.2 million. speaking at the ceremony, the prince warned that the climate a warning, this report from our royal correspondent, daniela relph, from the ceremony, contains flashing images. when it's an environmental prize, the red carpet becomes a green one. nominees mixed with celebrity guests ahead of the awards ceremony. inside, the prince of wales warned that the climate crisis can't be ignored. our winners and all our finalists remind us that no matter where you are on our planet, the spirit of ingenuity and the ability to inspire change surrounds us all. five projects, each one £1,000,000, for their environmental solutions. they included a new way to build and recycle lithium batteries, a forest protection scheme in the andes and ocean conservation across the americas. it's just really hopeful. it's really... it can be really lonely to do this work. and it makes you feel supported and...lifted up. for the winners, the power of the earthshot prize is about much more than just the money. they also get access to the contacts and influence of prince william, and that can be invaluable squeezing. of prince william, and that can be invaluable. and that royal support begins straightaway for the million—pound winners who the prince says offer hope and optimism. daniela relph, bbc news, singapore. wine production around the world is expected to fall this year to its lowest level in more than six decades. so what's behind the decline? meghan owen has been finding out. it's been a pretty bad year for the grape harvest. now, although there's been 244.1 million hectolitres of wine produced, which may seem like a lot, according to the world wine body, this is actually a 7% drop on last year's production and actually the lowest it's been in 60 years. now, certain countries have been suffering more than others, including spain, italy and greece. now, italy's even lost out on the top spot for wine production to france. now, other countries, which have also been impacted and have seen a 10—30% drop in production include australia, south africa, brazil, argentina and chile, all in the southern hemisphere. but why is this? well, quite simply, we're seeing more extreme weather patterns, including heavier rain and frost and droughts. let's just take a look at these pictures, which are from a vineyard in spain. now, these grape pickers had to work throughout the nightjust to make sure that they avoided the heat and were working in more comfortable conditions. translation: we have already been i suffering a decline not only this i year but over the last five or six years, basically for two reasons. first, due to the change we have had in temperatures in the climate, due to the change we have had in humidity, that is due to the climate change issues and it is affecting the development of wine production a lot. drinking wine is in decline around the world and stocks remain quite high. so actually these production issues might help to solve the market's imbalance. but that said, it's a pretty "glass half empty" situation for many wine lovers. that's all for now — stay with bbc news. hello there. some scattered showers around on tuesday, particularly for the north and the west. but for the vast majority of us, it was a largely dry day across the uk with some decent sunshine out there, but wednesday looking very different. there's a deep area of low pressure out in the atlantic that's going to push heavy rain eastwards. there'll be spells of rain on and off throughout the day and some strong, gusty winds as that front clears through as well. so this is how we're starting off wednesday morning. it's a chilly, possibly frosty start for eastern scotland, rain for western scotland down through north west england, much of wales and the south west of england. but starting to clear away from northern ireland and as the cold front on that very well defined back edge clears through, there'll be some strong gusty winds on this rain, particularly towards the south coast. the rain lingering on for parts of south east england and east anglia until possibly after dark and also turning very wet across shetland towards the end of the day as well. some sunshine behind our weather fronts and also some blustery showers possibly turning a little wintry over at the tops of the hills. so that area of low pressure, the weather fronts clear away to be followed by another one that's again, pushing in from the west. it will be moving further eastwards throughout the day. again, giving rise to some blustery showers through the day on thursday. it won't be raining all the time. there will be a brisk southwesterly wind pushing some of those showers across england and wales. also for scotland, some blustery showers, but lots of dry weather here, too. temperatures starting to feel a little cooler, 8 to 11 degrees celsius. now that low clears away and behind it will draw in more of a northerly to northwesterly wind. so by the time we get to friday, it's going to be feeling significantly colder for most of us. again, some showers, but fewer of them mostly concentrated again out towards the north and the west. so parts of north west scotland down through west and wales, the further south and east you are generally the drier your day is going to be. temperatures again only peaking between eight and 12 degrees celsius. now, as we head into the weekend, fog and frost could become little more of a problem. the winds will be lighter, the air masses colder as well. but there'll also be some sunshine, particularly on saturday. so for armistice day on saturday, then it does look largely dry across the uk. it will be feeling really quite cool. there'll be some sunshine and light winds, but there could be some rain arriving in the south and the west for remembrance sunday. bye— bye. this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines at the top of the hour as newsday continue straight after hardtalk. welcome to hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur. day after day, israel's military assault on gaza degrades hamas's military capacity and kills more palestinian civilians. the operation won't end, says prime minister netanyahu, until hamas is eliminated. but as the humanitarian catastrophe deepens in gaza, so too does pressure on israel to pause, if not halt, the offensive. my guest is mustafa barghouti, a palestinian doctor and co—founder of the palestinian national initiative. when this terrible round of violence does eventually end, what then for the palestinian people? mustafa barghouti in ramallah, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. good to be with you again, stephen.
