happened. samira hussain. thank you. the prime minister rishi sunak has provoked a diplomatic row with greece. after cancelling a meeting today. and it all centres on the parthenon sculptures, also known as the elgin marbles, which are currently on display in the british museum — but greece wants back. 0ur political editor chris masonjoins me now. how serious is this? it is quite serious because when you see a prime minister on a visit to a country and their meeting with the host prime minister is cancelled, that is going to create waves. all this about the marbles, losing them, keeping them, moving them, it might not seem like the future of these old stones would be at the top of your list of political priorities necessarily, but this is a real dilemma for museums. where is the rightful home for artefacts? and the british museum in london is weighing up potentially lending the marbles to athens. and it is that that is provoking this argument. made almost 500 years before the birth of christ, they've been here in the uk since the 19th century. pretty much ever since, greece has wanted them back. well, they're absolutely stunning. and what's your hunch? i kind of think they maybe do belong back there, yeah. i would prefer that the artefacts stay here, rather than go back to their home country. perhaps they should share them. that would be the fairest thing, i think. _ i suppose the risk is... when somebody's got them, they won't give them back. l yeah, exactly. enter the greek prime minister, over here and on the telly the other day, setting out rather colourfully his government's long—standing view that the sculptures in london should be united with the ones in greece. if i told you that you would cut the mona lisa in half and you would have half of it at the louvre and half of it in the british museum, do you think your viewers would appreciate the beauty of the painting in such a way? well, this is exactly what happened with the parthenon sculptures. those remarks irritated rishi sunak. downing street claims that's why he stood up his greek opposite number today. it was left to one of his cabinet colleagues to try to smooth things over. the deputy prime minister offered to meet the greek prime minister today and it proved not possible to make that happen. you know, that's a matter of regret. that offer was made, but the government set out its position about the elgin marbles very clearly, which is they should stay as part of the permanent collection of the british museum. here's a meeting with the greek prime minister that did go ahead. he saw the labour leader, keir starmer. labour reckon rishi sunak was petty to cancel his meeting and have an opposing view on the future of the marbles. we want to concentrate on what really matters to people, and on this specific issue, i trust that the british museum and the greek authorities will continue to negotiate and come to a good agreement, and that's what i back them to do. in other words, if the british museum does a deal to lend the sculptures to athens, labour wouldn't stand in their way. this is a row about heritage and about culture. what is british and is displayed in britain, what isn't and shouldn't be. but primarily, this is a row about politics, because the conservatives and labour have a different instinct on it. a modern dispute about ancient history still unresolved. chris mason, bbc news, at the british museum. a man has admitted killing two students and a school caretaker in nottingham last summer in separate attacks, but has denied murder. barnaby

temporary ceasefire continues into a fifth day. around 170 israeli hostages are still being held in gaza. hamas, which is designated as a terrorist group by the uk government, says that it is not holding all the captives — other groups are also involved. among those still being held is the youngest hostage — who's just ten months old — and his four—year—old brother. they were taken with their parents from a kibbutz on october 7th. 0rla guerin reports from tel aviv. it's a nerve—wracking wait for hostages to come home. especially the very young. and the fear is time may run out. tomorrow is due to be the last day. will baby kfir bibas be freed? he is the youngest hostage, just ten months old. israel has taken him to its heart. kidnapped with him, his brother, ariel, who is four and loves batman. their mother, shiri, held them in her arms, trying to protect them as hamas led them all away. theirfather, yarden, also a hostage. israel says hamas has passed them on to another palestinian militant group. their relatives are tormented by worry and by waiting. how difficult have the last few days been when each day has come and gone and each list has come and gone and they have not come home? it's dreadful. it's the worst scenario. having to wait for that list every night. seeing all those beautiful moments of reunion and hoping it will be the next day. and it's not. relatives and supporters are gathered here once again. they want to keep the pressure on the government. for all those released in recent days, many more remain trapped in gaza. their families are hoping against hope that the deal between israel and hamas will be extended once again. that deal has brought palestinian prisoners back into the arms of their families. like this 18—year—old, accused of rioting. about 150 have been freed so far from israeli jails and have returned to eastjerusalem and the west bank. in gaza, while the truce holds, a chance to survey the wreckage. the un says there is despair,

"what good is that?" back in israel, balloons are released for kfir and ariel, in the hopes that these children will soon see the sky again after more than 50 days in darkness. i , accounts are emerging of the conditions in which some of the hostages were held. a 78—year—old woman said she had to sleep on plastic chairs and cover herself with a sheet. she said food like chicken and rice was provided at the beginning but there was less food as the time went on. the family of another elderly hostage said she was not given medicine that she needed and the uncle of a 12—year—old girl has told us she was forced to speak in a whisper for many weeks. we have not yet had of accounts of physical ill treatment but many of those released have yet to speak publicly about their experiences. 0r released have yet to speak publicly about their experiences. or in thank you. —— 0rla guerin. an inquiry has found that a man who worked as a maintenance worker at hospitals in kent was able to sexually abuse dead bodies for more than a decade because of "serious failings" at the nhs hospital mortuaries. david fuller abused the bodies of at least 101 women and girls between 2005 and 2020. he was able to access the mortuary more than 400 times in one year — something that went unnoticed and unchecked. the inquiry�*s findings have been called "astonishing" and said victims�* families were repeatedly let down at all levels. he's currently serving a life sentence in prison. a plan to kill transgender teenager brianna ghey was found in the bedroom of one of the 16—year—olds accused of her murder, a court has heard. a girl and boy, who can't be named because of their ages, are alleged to have murdered 16—year—old brianna when she was stabbed in a park near warrrington in cheshire earlier this year. they deny murder. judith moritz reports. although she was happy to pose for the camera, brianna ghey was an anxious child who did not normally go out on her own. in february, when she went to meet another teenager by herself, she texted her mother to say she was scared of getting the bus alone. her mum texted back to encourage her. but she would never return home. she went to this park near warrington, were, the court heard, 215—year—olds planned to murder her. because of their age we cannot identify them, depicted in grey, the girl is known as girl x and the boy as boy y, opening the prosecution, detailed text messages about what the pair sent each other before. asked what life he was bringing, he said his hunting knife, saying i showed you in person as well as on the phone. girl x said that we'll definitely 100% kill her? boy y said yes, it cuts my skin easily. he said girl x should bring a knife if she wanted to stab breanna as well. police later found by a handwritten plan for the murder headed victim. brianna ghey. she was stabbed 28 times in the head, neck heart and lungs with cuts to her arms and hands were she tried to defend herself. thejury was arms and hands were she tried to defend herself. the jury was told the number and nature of her injuries mean it is impossible that she was killed accidentally. deanna heer casey told them she had been the victim of a brutal, unlawful and brutal attack and that is not in dispute. the issue is not whether breanna was murdered but whether these defendants participated in the murder. she said each accepts that there were present but they both deny reflecting any injury, and each blames the other. plainly, she said, they cannot both be telling the truth. after her death, vigils were held for brianna ghey around the world. the court heard that her gender identity fascinated the teenagers charged with her murder. they deny killing her. the cabinet minister michael gove has been giving evidence to the covid inquiry — the first of the government's key decision—makers in 2020 to appear. he apologised to victims and bereaved families for mistakes made by the government during the pandemic. mr gove said he had to take his share of responsibility for the errors made. hugh pym joins us. how significant is the apology?— is the apology?

it's called bennu — and nasa managed to land a spacecraft on it and brought rock and dust specimens from it back to earth. well, some of the samples they took from the four—and—a—half—billion—year—old asteroid have arrived in the uk. it's hoped that studying the samples could shed light on the origins of our own planet. here's our science editor, rebecca morelle. a piece of asteroid from deep space has finally arrived at london's natural history museum. we've separated out these little biggerfragments in our stones of interest. scientists here have been waiting years for the chance of a close—up look and to get their gloved hands on this precious extraterrestrial material. i think it's beyond our wildest dreams. it's an incredibly beautiful rock. it's very, very black, but with some tiny, little white bits in as well. and we found that each little grain looks a bit different to the other grains. so it's going to keep us busy for years trying to figure it all out. the sample comes from a 500—metre wide space rock called bennu. it was collected by a nasa spacecraft in a smash—and—grab manoeuvere, packed into a capsule and brought back to earth, landing in the utah desert. it's incredible to see this material up close, grabbed from an asteroid hundreds of millions of miles away. now, there isn't much in here, just a few milligrams. but for scientists, this is a treasure trove. every single tiny grain will be analysed and the hope is they could answer some of the biggest questions we have about our solar system. in this polished section we have a tiny little particle. but when we look under this microscope, we can start to see all the information. the ultra close—up view provides a map of the minerals and elements within the rock. bennu is a relic from the early solar system and scientists are finding it's rich in carbon and water. we know that we have water here on the earth. how did it get here? and so we think things like bennu could have potentially brought that water. and so we're going to study the water in bennu to see if it's similar to the water we have on the earth. and if we find similarities, that gives us a really good idea that asteroids like bennu were helping to deliver at least some of the water to the earth when it was just starting out four—and—a—half—billion years ago. the uk has a teaspoon of material, but there might be more to come because some of the space rock is stuck in the sample container at nasa hq. its screws are proving tricky to undo, so new tools are being developed to retrieve every last bit of bennu. the material that's here is being shared with uk universities, so expect a slew of discoveries and some out—of—this—world surprises along the way. rebecca morelle, bbc news. weather in a moment — but first have look at this. the full moon rising tonight over london taken from wimbledon park by bbc photographerjeff 0vers — pretty spectacular, isn't it? time for a look at the weather — here's elizabeth rizzini. that was gorgeous. clear and frosted tonight and you will notice how the temperatures drop over the next few days. there is some snow to come, not in unusual places. this is aviemore in the highlands and there is more snow to come for here but for most it is set to stay dry, so this is the real headline as we head through the rest of the week. just how low the temperatures are going to be, with widespread airfrost how low the temperatures are going to be, with widespread air frost by night. 0vernight we are expecting wintry showers feeding in across northern areas of scotland, through the north sea facing coasts, quite windy for the time with icy stretches. clearing skies further south and west and anything that
