hello, i'm rajini vaidyanathan. you're watching the context on bbc news. british gymnastics bans coaches from weighing gymnasts — part of new safeguarding rules for young athletes. to new york now, where a federal court has formally —— welcome to the programme. these the bbc that talks are still under way to extend that truce between israel and hamas. we are waiting to hear more about that and get more official confirmation about any terms around that, but at the moment, we can see the pictures there now. those two russians who were part of the group released today. russian israelis, motherand daughter, 73 years old and her 50—year—old daughter. they are russian immigrants living in israel. we will stay across that developing story and when we get it. to new york now, where a federal court has formally announced charges against an indian government employee, alleging he conspired to assassinate a sikh separatist in the us. the unnamed official is accused of working with another man, 52—year—old indian nikhil gupta, who has also been charged and is awaiting extradition from the czech republic. india has announced a high—level investigation to examine the allegations. and in the last few minutes, breaking news from reuters joe biden has asked cia director william burns to india to meet with officials. that is according to a senior us official. our north america correspondent nada tawfikjoins me now from new york. nada, that news that's just come in that william burns is going to travel to india shows how seriously the white house is now taking all of this. �* , ,., , the white house is now taking all of this. �* , , ., ., ., ., this. absolutely, and the national security centre _ this. absolutely, and the national security centre basically - this. absolutely, and the national security centre basically made - this. absolutely, and the national security centre basically made a l security centre basically made a point to say that they took this plot extremely seriously when they first heard about it and raised it immediately with the indian government. president biden spoke with the indian prime minister narendra modi at the 620 about this. as you say, they dispatch the cia director to go to india directly, and also the director of national intelligence to travel to india to share the information that they have on this internal investigation. but if you look at this indictment, which has been unsealed and made public today, the allegations are quite serious. the indictment alleges that nikhil 6upta took direction from an indian government employee to set this murder for hire plot going. and as he tried to hire a hit man for $100,000 to kill allegedly this sikh activist in the us, he was in fact speaking with a confidential source with the us government. the us drug and important as the agency. the us outlined how the employee is given the phone number at, address, comings and going of the activist —— drug and enforcement agency. about two months ago, we had in canada, the prime ministerjustin trudeau saying they had credible evidence to allege india was involved in the killing of another sikh activist in british columbia injune. in this indictment, they say the activist here was an associate of hardeep and in fact, nikhil 6upta sent a video of his death to the source and said there was no need to wait any more to carry out that murder plot. all of this outlined in this indictment in new york, and as you say, the united states urging india to take this investigation seriously. fascinating story. nada tawfik, thank you very much. british 6ymnastics has announced new safeguarding rules for young athletes, which will mean coaches can no longer weigh gymnasts, deny them drink breaks or take them out of primary school to train. last year, the whyte review found "systemic" physical and emotional abuse in the sport "borne of inadequate practice". this included athletes having their bags searched for food in the "tyranny" of weight management. former england gymnast nicole pavier provided testimony to the review into the mistreatment of athletes within the sport which led to today's recommendations. she says the mistreatment was unacceptable. we've had a lot of reports - from lots of gymnasts for change members and people who have been in contact with us - to anne whyte in the lead—up to the — whyte review and gave - the testimony of everything that i experienced. and some of those were programmes . that meant i wasn't allowed to go . to the toilet if i needed to go| and take drinks in the corner, which is just unacceptable - for people training such long hours. so far, british gymnastics has not done anything with any of the - complaints that have been submitted through the white review. _ that's over 400 gymnasts, parents and coaches who came forward - and no significant removal of any | of the coaches that were abusive j over those four decades. we need to be thinking about. the welfare of children globally. this is such a young sport, and it's important that - athletes throughout all levels of sport, gymnastics - and every other sport that people engage with are safe _ and every other sport that people engage with are safe and doing it| in a fun way that allows them to succeed. - let's bring the panel in. welcome back, kezia, i'm glad your internet is working. what's your reaction to today's news? it’s is working. what's your reaction to today's news?— today's news? it's astonishing. all credit to the _ today's news? it's astonishing. all credit to the incredibly _ today's news? it's astonishing. all credit to the incredibly brave - today's news? it's astonishing. all| credit to the incredibly brave young women who have campaigned for this review. i say astonishing because i find the recommendations quite weak, really. what we're discovering now is that after this report was implemented, coaches won't be allowed to weigh children under the age of ten. it seems amazing that they could before now. also, the new rule will be girls age 10—18 can only be weighed with their own consent and the consent of a parent or guardian. 6ood consent and the consent of a parent or guardian. good as me, why wasn't that happening already? it shows a gap between the change to be an athlete and what goes on behind the scenes. it's not the first time we've had to worry about the 6tf care of young athletes —— duty of care. we're actually, when you retire in your early 20s, these are often really young women and girls who look like they've been treated symptomatically and appallingly for a long time. i’m symptomatically and appallingly for a lona time. �* ., ., , a long time. i'm going to bring brian in. there _ a long

from across the uk. we're helping about 150 to 200 families week on week now. that is a huge average. at the bottom of this poverty, there's a small child and that and that child needs help, so that's what we do. emily only thought her baby bank would last a couple of weeks and finish once the donations dried up, but almost five years on, many struggling families rely on it. they're not coming because they're flash. because they've got lots of things. they're coming because they're desperate, cos they need a winter coat for their child, a pair of sturdy shoes. they're coming because they're facing incredibly difficult, challenging and circumstances and theyjust need that little bit of help. sarah knows how many of these families feel. she came here after her baby was born. my baby was six weeks - old and i needed a sling for her. i didn't have £40, £50 for a sling. i but now she volunteers for the charity, helping families who are in the same situation. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news iama i am a rajini vaidyanathan. let's take you back to the main story, developments in the middle east as we are on day six of that temporary truce. let's take you live to the prison, we can bring you shots there. that is where we are told we are waiting to see the release of 30 palestinians. they have been held in israeli jails. i believe in 0fer itself. i'm getting confirmation on that. of course, as well as that, we have had a statement from qatar's ministry of foreign affairs, thing in accordance of the terms of the sixth day of the humanitarian pause agreement, 30 palestinians will be released today in exchange for the released today in exchange for the release of ten hostages in gaza in addition to the ten israelis released, two russian citizens and four thai citizens outside of the framework. they were handed over to the icrc. that 16 hostages headed over to the red cross. we had images of the two russians who were boarding a bus. i think we can bring you those images again. though they are, getting onto a bus. that is two of the 16 hostages who have been released this evening. as i was saying earlier, under the terms of that deal which was struck between israel and hamas, brokered by qatar, 30 palestinians have been held in israeli jails including teenagers and women will also soon be released. 0f and women will also soon be released. of course, we now know that this is night number six, when the deal has been upheld by both sides. at the big question now, of course, is whether it will continue beyond this evening. that temporary truce is due to run out in a matter of hours. we are now waiting to hear what comes next. as we watch and wait, let's go back to our panel. kezia and brian. brian,

palestinians and people in gaza and the west bank. 0xfam have reported for several months before what happened on october the 7th of that they were having difficult he getting vital supplies in. that was enough time free from the degree of war we are witnessing now. it's clearly the case that there are immense shortages of water, of food and of critical medical supplies. a big debate has been had about getting aid in. i don't really think those arguments apply when you're talking about food and water. i can give more time to arguments about what we do with fuel. but we're talking about some of the most basic human rights here. the idea that you have access to food and water is surely something everyone can get behind. it wasn't so long ago that there were those astonishing pictures of hospitals in gaza where premature babies were literally on life support machines with hours left of fuel. we've got to hope those days are on now and there's resolution that that cannot continue. and that israel is clear that cannot be allowed under any definition of its right to defend itself. . . �* ., ., , itself. kezia and brian, do stay with us. now— itself. kezia and brian, do stay with us.

champions league football. we will start with champions league football. it's now out of manchester united's hands if they are to qualify for the knockout stage of the champions league. they're still bottom of their group after a pulsating 3—3 draw in istanbul against 6alatasaray. united made a quick start, with two goals from allejandro 6arnacho and this beauty from captain bruno fernandes. it was 2—1 at half—time, scott mctominay restored their two two—goal lead with over half an hour to play /// former chelsea winger two—goal lead with over half an hour to play. former chelsea winger hakim ziyech had scored 6alatasaray�*s first from a free kick, and andre 0nana should have saved that effortthat gave the turkish side hope and substitute kerem akturkoglu scored a stunning equaliser inside the last 20 minutes. as it stands, united have to beat bayern munich at old trafford in their final group game and hope that the match between copenhagen and 6alatasaray goes their way. i take many positives off the game. i take many positives off the game. i wanted my team to play, it was enjoyable to watch them. they scored great goals. even after we had some setbacks, we kept going until the end, because we should have won as well. arsenal needed just a draw at home to lens to ensure a place in the last 16, they did much more than that. they were 5—0 up by half—time at the emirates stadium. five different goal—scorers, 6abriel martinelli made it four. 6abriel martinelli made it four, before this volley from skipper martin 0degaard. they are the first english team to lead by five goals at half—time jorghino scored a secnd half penalty. it's 6—nil. an injury time at the emirates. jude bellingham's incredible start to life at real madrid continues, the england midfielder scored at the bernebeu against napoli. that put them 2—1 up. they lead 3—2. that's five out of five for real madrid. bellingham is up to 15 in all competitions for real, and has scored in all four of the champions league matches in which he's played. that's a real record. these are the rest of the results. psv eindhoven have joined arsenal in the last 16 from group b, beating sevilla 3—2. pepi with an injury time winner. sevilla are out. real sociedad and inter milan were already through from group d, neck—and—neck on ten points. all about who finishes top. inter came from 3—0 down against benfica 3—3. sociedad and salzburg 0—0. that's as it was in group d. the england captain 0wen farrell is taking a break from international rugby to "prioritise his and his family's mental well—being". he'll miss next year's six nations championship but will continue to play for his club side saracens, for his club side saracens. england's all—time leading points scorer has been capped 112 times since making his debut 11 years ago. he led them to the final of the 2019 world cup and to the semi—finals this year. he missed the first two games of the tournament through suspension after a dangerous tackle in a warm—up game. he was booed by some sections of england supporters on his return and his father andy, the ireland head coach, described his son's treatment as "disgusting" and a "circus". england say they fully support farrell's decision. luke donald will stay on as team europe's captain for the next ryder cup in 2025. the former world number one led europe to victory in rome earlier this year and has represented europe four times as a player. he'll be the first europe captain in 30 years to serve consecutive terms. bernard 6allacher was captain three times from 1991—95. british 6ymnastics have brought in new safeguarding policies after a review found "harmful practices" in the sport, which it said were "on the fringe of abuse". under the new rules, no gymnasts aged ten or under can be weighed. those from 10—18 can only be weighed with the consent of both the gymnast and their parent or guardian. the policy has been introduced with the aim of preventing psychological distress, and risks of mental health problems such as eating disorders, anxiety and depression. world number twojudd trump is through to the quarterfinals of the uk championship for the first time in three years. the 2011 winner is this season's form player, winning three ranking tournaments last month. he made the perfect start to his match against welshmanjamiejones, taking the first frame with a century break, and he completed a six—frame whitewash. trump could meet world number five mark selby next. jester from leicester had a break of 142, the highest of the tournament so far, as he took a 4—3 lead over fellow englishman barry hawkins. it's the first of six. china's three—time champion ding junhui hit three century breaks as he beat england's tom ford by six frames to three. it looks as though he'll be facing mark williams in the quarterfinals — he leads jamie clarke 5—2. all of the very latest on all this champions league matches in this new girl on the bbc sport website, but that's all for now. hello. a cold evening with temperatures around freezing in many parts of the country, and that's how it's going to stay for the rest of the week, the weekend, probably into early next week. and then, after that, it does look as though things gradually could turn a little less cold. the satellite picture shows where we had the clearer skies earlier on. but out towards the southwest, a weather front is looming, and that may spell some wintry weather in the high ground of southwestern parts of england through the night and into tomorrow. but by 9 o'clock, you can see temperatures there around freezing across many parts of the uk, a little bit milder in cornwall and devon, and that's because we have that weather front here. but through the night, the northeasterly winds continue to bring wintry showers to northern and eastern scotland. some on that north sea coast as well, north york moors, possibly into east anglia. temperatures —5 there in the morning in glasgow, below freezing in the south, too. now, that weather front that's hugging the south and the southwest will be bumping into that cold that's to the north. so, across dartmoor and exmoor, we could see a spell of rain, sleet and snow — could be a covering in places. don't be surprised, but it's not a widespread area of snow here. i think, more than anything, it's going to be really cloudy in the south with outbreaks of rain feeling cold, quite strong winds, too. really unpleasant weather conditions with temperatures hovering around five degrees. now, to the north of that, a totally different picture. lots of sunshine around, about four degrees in liverpool with that crisp sunshine. and again, through the day and into the evening hours, if you squint, you canjust about see these blobs of white blobs of white there, wintry showers generally across the hills. wintry showers generally ok, the forecast, then, for the end of the week — i think will be entering the peak of the cold. freezing cold weather across scandinavia, that east northeasterly wind blowing over us. again, a lot of dry, bright, sunny weather, a few showers, some of them wintry. and after a frosty start, the temperatures really will struggle on friday. look at that — barely above freezing in glasgow and aberdeen. around three or four degrees in the south, so more like january or february. so, here's the outlook for the rest of the week, the weekend and into next week, staying cold. the weather, however, from time to time will change from sunshine to showers back to sunshine. bye— bye. but it's unclear if the temporary ceasefire will be extended. israel is trying to confirm hamas claims that a ten—month—old baby — the youngest hostage — has been killed with his mother and brother. tonight we report from the occupied west bank where tension and violence is rising — the authorities there say two children were shot dead during a raid by israeli forces. the trace is due to expire tomorrow morning at five .00 uk time unless there is a deal to extend it, israel's war cabinet is meeting tonight. an inquest hears that the four teenagers who were found dead in a car in north wales after disappearing on a camping trip — had drowned.
