day. germany reaches 100,000 coronavirus deaths as europe struggles with a fourth covid wave. the british government will introduce an independent football regulator in england, following a fan—led review into the sport. # let it be, let it be...# and beatles fans rejoice. a new documentary featuring never before seen footage of the fab four, is released today. hello and welcome if you re watching in the uk or around the world. the prime minister and president macron of france have agreed to step up joint efforts to prevent illegal crossings of the channel. at least 27 people drowned yesterday when their boat capsized off the coast of northern france near calais trying to reach the uk. five suspected traffickers have been arrested on suspicion of being linked to the journey. britain's home secretary priti patel is to meet her french counterpart to discuss the crisis. it comes as the home office says that more than 25,000 people are estimated to have reached the uk in boats so far this year. that's compared with almost 8,500 last year. and in 2019, the home office says 1,800 people made their way to the uk in small boats. those arriving on dinghies are only part of the total and don't include the thousands of migrants who reach the uk each year by other means. my colleague ben boulos is in dover. reports coming in not deterred people from making that crossing less than 2a hours on. it may be the bright, dry, relatively calm as you look out and you think the sea looks calm, it looks like an ideal opportunity for those who may see that as their last chance before the weather turns. but i can tell you it is bitterly cold even where we are standing, let alone out in the middle of the channel itself. it is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world as well, which adds to the danger those migrants face of war live, risking everything in order to do so. but as we saw yesterday, it can end in tragedy. 27 people died trying to make that crossing. authorities in dover now have that grim task of trying to identify the people who died yesterday. that is incredibly difficult. the situation is chaotic. those migrants will have boarded those little bows without any records on them, no documents of identification. more details are starting to emerge, but many questions still remain. why did that boat sink? was it overloaded? did it collide with another vessel? many questions in people's mines. let's get the latest on what we do know. let's get the latest on what we do know. along the northern french coast, the search for the missing went on after dark. but with temperatures in single digits, the chance of finding anyone alive increasingly remote. at least 27 bodies have been recovered. the biggest loss of life in the channel since it became the preferred route of people traffickers. translation: the first people responsible for this despicable | situation are the smugglers. that is to say, criminals who, for a few thousand euros, organise the trafficking of human beings from iraq, afghanistan, africa and asia. it's thought around 25 boats like this set off from the beaches of northern france yesterday. where are you going now? the uk. this one, we know, made it across the channel, but it's a treacherous journey, across one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. this disaster underscores how dangerous it is to cross the channel in this way. and it also shows how vital it is that we now step up our efforts to break the business model of the gangsters who are sending people to sea in this way. last night, the government's cobra emergency committee met, and the prime minister held an urgent phone call with the french president emmanuel macron. downing street said the two men agreed to step up joint efforts to prevent the crossings. any decisions made? evening. and to stop the gangs putting people's lives at risk. but people the bbc spoke to at this calais migrant camp last night said they would keep trying to reach the uk. uday said he attempted to cross earlier this week but gave up because the waves were too high. we need to create safe and legal routes for people to get here, through planned resettlement programmes and family reunion. and we also need to have a safe and fair asylum system here so that people, when they've made theirjourneys, can claim asylum and be fairly assessed. in calais last night, people demanding refugees be better treated held a vigil for those who died. after a year of record numbers crossing the channel, people on all sides of the argument have warned this was a tragedy waiting to happen. jon donnison, bbc news. reset mac many questions remain urgently prevent the content of life and to deter people from making those risky jet black riskyjet black in line with the people smugglers who are making large sums from this. it seems a lot harder to have an agreement on what to do with it. fin harder to have an agreement on what to do with it— to do

one hand the | british government stop the french uk has take responsibility and absorb some of those people who they were police officer or french soldiers on every beach, it only takes a few minutes to launch these boats. their doubt these people are a menace, they are indifferent to the cause of human life and are looking to make money. but the question is about the potential culpability of the british and french governments. the french people are treating many of the people are treating many of the people in france really poorly. i don't think people appreciate the conditions of the camps, they are basically woods with a few settlements with no sanitation, no heating, no toilets, food being delivered by aid agencies. in terms of the british government, are there enough safe ways for people to take up enough safe ways for people to take up their legal right to claim asylum in the uk? we have got a refugee crisis around the world of some 80 million people. is it so surprising that a few thousand people inevitably are going to try to make it to the united kingdom. to better understand the psychology of those making the journey and why they are willing to risk so much myself and my colleagues at newsnight spent some time in the camps in calais and dunkirk. here is what we found. when you think of dunkirk, this almost certainly is not the escape you think of. but in 2021, this is what dunkirk is. thousands of people from around the world, men, women and children, living in the woods, wondering the motorway, waiting for the call to flee at dawn across the sea from france to britain. we have spent the last few days here talking to those in this political purgatory. first thing, the french police mounted a morning raid. so people are literallyjust wandering up and down this street because their camp has been broken up. the french police have destroyed their things, their sleeping bags, their equipment and so on. and now they've just got to wander up and down until they can find somewhere else to go. have you tried to cross to the uk already? of course. how, in boat? what happens, you got turned back? though most would not speak on camera, this was the refrain we heard again and again. when we asked why people were not claiming asylum in france, some said, family in britain, historic ties between their countries and britain, language. but many cited how they had been treated by the french government and their belief that britain would be more humane. the overwhelming feeling here is of futility. the endless cycle. the police take away their things, aid groups like mobile refugee support give them back, and on it goes. we have families here with children less than a year old. we have families with pregnant women. we have toddlers. we have got groups of young teenage boys, people who have been forced from their country. charlie, who has worked here for six years, say these camp dispersals happen as often as twice a week. if the police were here, maybe they would say, organisations like yours are undermining what we're trying to do because we are trying to deter gangs from bringing people here and trying to deter people from trying to settle here. and you are undermining that. what would you say to that? they could suggest that, however we know that that is not true because we are a humanitarian aid organisation. we are not interested in how or why people are crossing to the uk. that is not what is important, that's not what's shocking. what's shocking is the way people are being treated here on a daily basis. what's shocking are the amounts of human rights that are being abused on a daily basis. and the fact that all of this is being funded by the uk government. we should remember, too, that in terms of numbers at least, compared to other european countries, or indeed elsewhere, we are not talking about that many people. it's just more visible. i think it's different in terms of illegal immigration. i think if you look at the overall numbers of people coming in illegally, they're broadly the same as they were in my time. but what's changed is the method. when i was in the job, a lot of the illegal migration was coming through the port of calais. people were penetrating the port perimeter, climbing into the backs of lorries, and getting through that way. but we have invested quite a lot of time and effort with the french on tightening up the port of calais. it's much harder to break into the port now. and we have quite sophisticated search capabilities to detect people climbing into lorries. when you add that to the covid crisis, when less lorries are coming across anyway, the human smugglers have changed tactics and they've now taken to this relatively new phenomenon of putting people in small boats and bringing them across in that way. and there is that familiar futility again. later in the day, the camp simply reforms up the road and as night falls, they know they must wait by the phone lest the call comes to head to the beaches. for all we know, any one of these people could have been one of those who perished in the sea. conditions on land are only a bit better. this is my tent. so you are sharing this with your friend? yes, yes. now, we are three. three people in your tent? yes, it's really tough. there's much discussion in britain about whether these people are genuine asylum seekers. it's a fair question. but also fair to consider whether many or most would credibly take these sort of risks if they were not. this man we're not naming is only 20 years old and says he wants to get to britain because it's where his last family connections in the world remain. imagine if you got to the uk, what would you like your future to be like? live a life, yes, like other people, they live their life. yes, getajob, get married, get children. that report from lewis goodall, who is still with me here in dover. the thing that is striking from that film is the conditions that people are in, in calais. people may wonder, they are in france, they are in a safe, western country with a rule of law, protections, respect for human rights, and yet they don't feel safe there and that is presumably why they feel compelled to risk everything to make the crossing. to risk everything to make the crossinu. , ., ., crossing. there is an important conce -t crossing.

do seek asylum in france. france does and has accepted many more asylum applications than the uk has in recent years. that is true as well for countries like germany and other comparable european countries. it is not surprising perhaps there are lots of people from west africa or countries with historic relationships with france, where people from those countries might seek asylum in france. it is not surprising by contrast that perhaps people from places like iraq, afghanistan or kurdistan, many of whom we spoke to, might see a connection with britain because they have family and friends here, they speak the language, they feel some relationship with the uk. but there is another element that you alluded to and we discussed in the film, there are people there partly as a result of what we have just seen who do not feel safe in france. i have reported from refugee camps in lebanon near syria and those were considerably superior in terms of their conditions than those experienced by the people i interviewed for that piece. that gives you an indication of how little safety those people have. that is the policy of the french government, to disperse camps where they exist and make life difficult for those not claiming asylum in france and trying to get to the uk. that is the policy of the french government and when we look at the uk's government's approach they take one of two routes. 0ne uk's government's approach they take one of two routes. one is to make it harder for people to make that crossing and intercept boats, or alternatively make it easier to apply for asylum here through other routes that do not involve making such a risky crossing. is there any indication about which direction the government is minded to go? there is and it is clear — government is minded to go? there is and it is clear listening _ government is minded to go? there is and it is clear listening to _ government is minded to go? there is and it is clear listening to them - and it is clear listening to them overnight that they are going to continue with the policy of trying to make it less appealing and more difficult for people to make the crossing. they talk about the pull factors and the push factors. the pull factors are drawing people to the uk, and some of the push factors which are making them leave their countries of origin. the difficulty for the government is this. there is always a discussion about whether or not the people we are talking about are genuine refugees and asylum seekers or whether they are economic migrants. you can go around the houses on that. everyone would accept that at the very least a proportion of those people are genuine asylum seekers and refugees. that should not be surprising with the worldwide displacements of 80 million people. it is not surprising some of those people will end up on our shores. the question is whether the push factors that are putting them, where they come from, persecution, displacement, war, attempted murder, are greater than anything the uk can do to reduce the pull factors. almost by definition anything we try and do well always still seem more appealing than what is pushing them from their countries of origin because their countries of origin could not be much worse. lewis, thank you very much indeed. lewis, thank you very much indeed. lewis goodall, newsnight policy editor. there were talks between the uk prime minister borisjohnson and the french president emmanuel macron last night. they seem to have agreed that countries need to work more closely together to tackle the problem. let's get the latest from our europe correspondentjessica our europe correspondent jessica parker. it isa it is a wet, windy and blustery morning over here in calais and overnight in france we have been hearing as well expression of grief, condolences what more can be done. this issue has been long discussed and we have heard promises of action, but following yesterday's events there will be added pressure to act. yesterday said this was a european problem and is calling for an emergency meeting of european ministers, reinforcing the external borders of the eu act. let's hearfrom the uk immigration minister. the the eu act. let's hear from the uk immigration minister.— immigration minister. the home secretary will — immigration minister. the home secretary will be _

the situation in the mediterranean and eastern europe to see this is only an issue in the channel. we need to break these gangs, including the returns agreement, as well as increasing the please

dangerous _ lost their lives. these are dangerous waters, - lost their lives. these are - dangerous waters, particularly at this time of year. for me the solution is clear. it does require a joint agreement between ourselves and the french, or perhaps more widely with the eu on a couple of things. firstly, we need job under international law. regardless of where the vessel is, whether it is in french or british waters, the first priority should be to save lives, to bring them on—board and make sure people do drown. that could be donejointly make sure people do drown. that could be done jointly and we could have french people on our vessels and we could put border forces on their vessels. and we could put border forces on theirvessels. having and we could put border forces on their vessels. having done that, we need to ensure we break this business model and that means you will be returned instantly to the point from which you departed, in this case being calais, and if you want to stay in france, then you make an application to the french authorities to stay there. that is the only way we can beat smuggling gangs and stop further drownings. there is a much bigger debate to be had with many millions of people already displaced in refugee camps around the world and the western world not stepping up to take that through lawful routes. but we are conflating two different issues. the main issue here is we want to save lives, stop drownings and defeat the human smugglers. it should be within the gift of the uk and french governments at a political level to come together to agree a strategy which would enable us to do that. when you talk about the strategy, there has been talk ofjoint patrols along the northern french coast. but i wonder how much of an impact that will have. even if some boats get through, that will presumably be enough to encourage the people smugglers to keep charging vast sums, making vast profits, and it will also still give those who want to make that crossing, the migrants, hope they might be able to get through. presumably unless you stop all the boats, if some get through, that will still give people hope of making the risk. we that will still give people hope of making the risk.— that will still give people hope of making the risk. we have something of an agreement _ making the risk. we have something of an agreement on _ making

wanted to intervene, they anything we see it in our territorial waters where we do a search and rescue. we need the french to do it as well so we have a joint maritime capability. for those who do make it across we need to send them back again to calais so it is clear there is no point in making this journey because you will not be allowed into the uk. if you are fearing persecution you are already in a safe country, france, and you can make your application there. that is the only way to break that business model and i am not sure yet whether we will get that political agreement that we need with the french. ., , ,, ., ~ , ., agreement that we need with the french. ., , ,, . ~' , ., , french. tony smith, thank you very much for speaking _ french. tony smith, thank you very much for

we be sure, given the chaotic nature of the situation, given the fact we don't know how many people leave in how many boats each day, how do we not know that the numbers are higher? me each day, how do we not know that the numbers are higher? we don't. the reality is _ the numbers are higher? we don't. the reality is that _ the numbers are higher? we don't. the reality is that there _ the numbers are higher? we don't. the reality is that there are - the numbers are higher? we don't. the reality is that there are people| the reality is that there are people just across the channel in france who have made very dangerous journeys to try to find safety in europe and the uk. they come to the uk, and you have to be pretty tenacious because farm or seek asylum in germany, france and spain to come this far north in europe to get to the uk, because they have a connection, they have family, friends, people in their networks, and they want to come and stay and rebuild their lives and seek safety. we published last week our analysis and the top five countries that people are coming from on the boats across the channel and seven out of ten of those people will be allowed to stay as refugees are given protection. that tells us they are not just all protection. that tells us they are notjust all economic migrants. some will not have a legitimate case and they need to be supported to return. but those that do, we should do what we have always done in the uk and give them a fair hearing and allow them to stay for their protection. the government talks about its new immigration plan and it seems to suggest it may be made harder to apply for asylum, to seek refugee status, if someone has arrive through what the government says is an illegal route, for example by crossing the channel in a boat. do you think if that were the case it would deter people from making such perilous journeys and instead would deter people from making such perilousjourneys and instead opt would deter people from making such perilous journeys and instead opt to try and apply for asylum through official, orsignificant try and apply for asylum through official, or significant it it has picked by all colours decades have been trying to toughen up our asylum and immigration system with a so—called hostile environment. people with british citizenship have been told that they are no longer allowed to stay in the uk and that hostile environment does not act as a deterrent. toughening up will not stop people coming here because they are desperate. the government needs to recognise that and adopt a more realistic approach, a more intelligent approach, that looks at how you provide a safe route for people to come here, how you work with the french to allow people to apply for asylum and how we have managed an effective asylum system. it is the responsibility of government you have an asylum system that works, is fair, humane, efficient and effective.- that works, is fair, humane, efficient and effective. that said, eo - le efficient and effective. that said, people may _ efficient and effective. that said, people may wonder _ efficient and effective. that said, people may wonder why - efficient and effective. that said, | people may wonder why migrants seeking asylum, or say have reached france, a safe, western european country, why not seek asylum there? why not try and settle there? 0k, why not try and settle there? ok, the language issue you refer to, the family links, but if you are looking for refuge, fleeing war, persecution, poverty, presumably the first safe place you reach is better than where you were before? i understand that and that does happen. there are many more people who have come to europe seeking asylum in greece, italy, spain, germany, three times more in germany, three times more in germany, at least double the number more in france and in spain. what that tells us is that people are staying in other safe countries in europe. but the reality is, and we can't get away from this reality, we have to face up to it, is that people have a right under the un convention to seek safety in the uk. this country in 1951 signed that convention. conservative prime ministers since winston churchill have abided by it and have upheld the principle that if people choose to seek asylum in the uk, they should be allowed to do that. that is one of the principles under the convention that as global britain we should stick to.— should stick to. thank you very much, should stick to. thank you very much. enver — should stick to. thank you very

hearing, the numbers making the crossing by boat across the channel this year are triple what they were the year before and even in the conditions we have been talking about earlier this month there were more than 1000 people making the crossing in a single day. we will bring you the latest on the situation and the political discussions around what to do about it throughout the day here from dover. for now, back to you. planning anything outdoors or travelling this weekend. here in the uk the archbishop of canterbury has reacted to those 27 deaths, men, women and a child. justin welby tweeted, this was a devastating loss of human life. each person a child of god. praying for all those suffering agonising grief. we need a better system based on safety, compassion, justice and cooperation. this cannot go on, he said. that statement from the archbishop of canterbury, the most reverend justin welby. germany has now recorded more than 100,000 covid deaths. it weathered earlier waves of the virus better than many other european countries, but has seen a recent resurgence, with intensive care beds quickly filling up. the escalating crisis poses an immediate challenge to the new coalition government set to take over from angela merkel. the epicentre of the crisis. in the last few minutes, france has recommended that everyone aged over 18 gets a third covid vaccine shot. and croatia looks like becoming the latest country to consider a fresh lockdown. let's talk about that deepening situation in europe with sarahjones, a doctoral researcher at imperial college london. she has been tracking covid—related attitudes and behaviour in 30 countries since april 2020. thank you forjoining us to talk about this worsening situation. you've looked at attitudes among the vaccinated and unvaccinated and is there a typical mindset in each group? i there a typical mindset in each arou - ? ., �* there a typical mindset in each . rou . ? ., �* ,., , there a typical mindset

group? i wouldn't say typical but - there are differences between them. at imperial college london we've been tracking the differences between attitudes and behaviours among vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals since february. what we typically find is that the personal calculus, the personal calculation but those who are vaccinated make is different from those who are unvaccinated. what do we know from the science? we know that what important people around you believe about vaccinations is essential to that. if they don't think it's a good idea, you may be influenced by that. we also know the benefits you think of carrying out a behaviour like vaccination are very important. i feel better protected, for example, ifeel proud i feel better protected, for example, i feel proud to contribute towards stopping the spread. the risks are also important and crucially the unknown risks. we know that unvaccinated people have concerns about side effects as well as of the vaccines have been tested enough. according to our latest results and over time in our sample of unvaccinated people has gotten much smaller but the main hesitancy attitudes have been pretty constant. 0verwhelmingly, there are three attitudes that are common in people who have chosen not to vaccinate. they remain to be concerns there hasn't been enough testing, concerns about side effects, can sense it's actually not effective. hat actually not effective. not necessarily _ actually not effective. not necessarily driven - actually not effective. not necessarily driven by - actually not

side effects and the l about testing, side effects and the vaccine not being effective. there is a lower overall trust in the vaccine. what you typically find is that in vaccinated individuals versus unvaccinated individuals, the multiplier is two or three times. so, for the percentage of people who believe there has been enough testing among the vaccinated, it would be about a third of that among the unvaccinated. how common are those attitudes? for six in ten or eight in ten people who are not vaccinated will tell us they have concerns about it not being tested enough to side effects. but six in ten is found in germany, the netherlands, spain, the uk. it goes up netherlands, spain, the uk. it goes up to eight in ten for sweden, france and italy. however, for the group of people who remain unvaccinated, we don't see these measures becoming more positive over time. we see them becoming more negative. for example, it seems to be a related measure, people who are not vaccinated, their attitudes about government handling of the pandemic is down five points since february in spain but down 35 points in germany and at the italy. the; in germany and at the italy. as other countries across europe try to deal with rising cases, when you look at what your research is uncovering, what does that tell us about the type of public health messages that are working, what needs to change? 0r messages that are working, what needs to change? or do you think we're going to see pretty entrenched grapes, those who are in favour of vaccination have already got it, those who aren't won't to be moved on that point? i those who aren't won't to be moved on that point?— on that point? i think people will be moved when _ on that point? i think people will be moved when they _ on that point? i think people will be moved when they feel - on that point? i think people will be moved when they feel as - on that point? i think people will. be moved when they feel as though they have access to the information from the information messages that they feel they can trust. this has been overwhelmingly the case since the beginning of vaccinations, that people don't trust the vaccine and don't trust the messenger comic they have worries about confidence in health care system, they are likely to be unvaccinated. i think that means public health campaigns should seek to understand people's can sense respectfully. they should learn better how to communicate effectively with the smaller groups of people and find out, who are the trusted messages and try to get them on side to communicate the facts and scientific evidence about vaccinations as well as be transparent about risks for people with any particular health care concerns. ii with any particular health care concerns-— with any

wholesale return to there might be a wholesale return to the lockdowns we saw earlier in the pandemic, is that going to be a big driver in terms of people's attitudes towards vaccination or willingness to adopt certain behaviours that might reduce spread? well, i think that would probably be referred to as coercion and policies that involve coercion tend to change behaviours but they are not going to change attitudes necessarily in the way you want them to win the long term. for example, if greater restrictions were to be put into place, those who have positive attitudes about the way the government is handling the pandemic and the confidence in public health bodies, they are more likely to respond positively. the exact opposite will happen for those with low trust or low confidence in the health care system or the way the governments have handled the pandemic. governments have handled the andemic. . , governments have handled the pandemic— governments have handled the

regulator in england, following a fan—led review into the sport. # let it be, let it be. # let it be... and beatles fans rejoice, a new documentary featuring never before seen footage of the fab four, is released today. the uk government has indicated it will accept the appointment of an independent regulator for english football to ensure the financial stability and good governance of the game. it's one of a number of recommendations made by a fan—led review. 0ur sports news editor dan roan has more. it's the most popular sport in the country, but with clubs going bust, and after the threat of a breakaway, scrutiny on football has intensified. the woman tasked with the landmark review of the english game told me it was time for a radical reform. we've seen football lurch from crisis to crisis over the last decade or so. and unfortunately, we haven't necessarily had the right levels of regulation in place to stop that crisis from happening. i think we've reached a point where people are saying, no more. crucially, crouch wants a powerful independent football regulator that would have stopped the attempt by the premier league's big six earlier this year tojoin the european super league. 0verseeing financial regulation, it could even block spending by owners deemed to be irresponsible. the regulator would enforce a beefed up owners' and directors' test for new buyers. 0ther proposals include a transfer levy to get more money from the premier league to the rest of the game, reform of parachute payments to relegated clubs, and fan empowerment through shadow boards and a so—called golden share. that would mean supporter consent needed over key decisions, such as a change of club name or stadium relocation, unlike in the past when wimbledon was infamously moved to milton keynes. and this season, a championship club that twice won the first division title in the 70s also fell into administration. derby county, for many, is sadly emblematic of a broken and unsustainable club system. one that encourages too many to overspend in the pursuit of promotion, and which shows why radical change is now needed to the way that clubs are both financed and run. criticised for allowing the controversial recent saudi takeover of newcastle united, the premier league said the reforms mustn't damage the game. but with the government likely to support crouch, football seems set for momentous change. dan roan, bbc news. joining me now is caroline mcroyall, director of strategy for fair game which campaigns to improve governance in football. she's the former ceo of surrey fa and used to be chair of tooting and mitcham united too. thank you for your time. i know that fair game you've been campaigning for independent regulation. now that this is the recommendation on the government says it's going to move to work with this plan, do you think there's going to be much pushback from clubs in the premier league or any watering down of the

tracy and the panel have spent a long time listening to fans and hearing all theissues listening to fans and hearing all the issues within football. football is broken and it needs fixing and she's presented a clear way forward which the government has endorsed. now it's about pushing that forward to make sure those recommendations are implemented, because it's needed within the organisation.—

and protect the game forfans a super league in future and protect the game for fans and communities across the country. let's begin with the second point, explain, obviously there is a football pyramid, the premier league, lots of money, some of that money is supposed to trickle down to the rest of the teams lower down to the rest of the teams lower down the pyramid. but obviously when the pyramid. but obviously when a breakaway european league was threatened earlier this year, there was the prospect of lots of money being taken out of the game. so, do you think this plan will protect the game for fans you think this plan will protect the game forfans and you think this plan will protect the game for fans and communities? definitely. from the recommendations there's a big look at the financial flow and making sure the independent regulator has that financial oversight. that's really important and also the recommendation around the levy which could be up to 10% on the levy which could be up to 10% on the transfer fees for premier league clubs, which will trickle down the pyramid and that money would make a huge difference to clubs lower down the level. sat; huge

whatever you want to call it?- whatever you want to call it? again, within the recommendations - whatever you want to call it? again, within the recommendations it's - within the recommendations it's about giving fans the option to have about giving fans the option to have a golden share which protects some of those key areas within football such as the club name, colours and also competitions. so, clubs would have to get the endorsement of fans and fans obviously as we saw when the european super league was announced, they won't support anything that's going to endanger the competition we've got, which is an amazing product and we need to make sure that is protected. i5 make sure that is protected. is there a danger the pendulum is swinging too far in the other direction in response to that attempt to form a european super league? the premier league is looking at these recommendations but obviously has concerns about the impact on the game.— obviously has concerns about the

the conviction of three white men who chased and killed a black jogger, ahmaud arbery, as he ran through their neighbourhood in the us state of georgia. mr biden said the killing last year was a reminder of how far america still had to go in the fight for racialjustice. the case, described by activists as a modern—day lynching, fuelled the black lives matter movement. 0ur north america correspondent aleem maqbool sent this report from georgia. 0433. there have been times when this moment seemed a very different distant prospect. we the jury, find the defendant, travis mcmichael, guilty. whoo! the shout of relief came from the father of ahmaud arbery, who was shot dead in february of last year. two others were also found guilty of murder. they had all seen 25—year—old ahmaud running through the neighbourhood and claimed he fitted the description of a crime suspect. they chased him and killed him. during the trial, the man who had fired the fatal shots, travis mcmichael, was the only one of the three to take to the witness stand. ishot him. why? he had my gun. he struck me, it looked obvious that he was a... it was obvious that he was attacking me, that if he would have got the shot gun from me, then it was a life or death situation. his justification was that he killed in self—defence. but of course, that was only after he, his father and a neighbour had chased ahmaud arbery in their pick—up trucks for five minutes. ahmaud's family waited more than ten weeks and had to rely on public pressure for the police to even make any arrests. i never thought this day would come. but god is good. yes, he is. and i just want to tell everybody, thank you, thank you for those who marched, those who prayed, most of all, the ones who prayed. yes, lord. thank you, god, thank you. well, there may still be questions about the way the police behaved after this killing, questions about the underlying issues surrounding race in this society, that contributed to the killing. but for now, at least, all of those that for months have been calling forjustice for ahmaud arbery, there isjust a huge sense of relief. aleem maqbool, bbc news, brunswick, georgia. a man has been charged with the murders of a couple who were attacked at their home in somerset in south west england. police found jennifer and stephen chapple with fatal stab wounds at a house in the village of norton fitzwarren on sunday evening. their two children were sleeping upstairs. 34—year—old collin reeves will appear at taunton magistrates' court. three people have been arrested in connection with the death of schoolgirl caroline glachan more than 25 years ago. the body of the 14—year—old was discovered on the banks of the river leven, west dunbartonshire, in 1996. police said two men, aged 42 and 43, and a 42—year—old woman had been charged in connection with the death. us and nato say russia is deploying troops near the border with ukraine. the country has been fighting russian—backed forces in its east since 2014. senior officials in kyiv fear russia plans to invade ukraine. abdujalil abdurasulov visited the front line and sent this report. the skeleton — that's what ukrainian soldiers call this former factory. this place used to be a bustling industrial zone, and now it is on the front line where ukrainian military fight russian—backed forces. the separatists' position is less than 100 metres away, and such proximity makes this part of the front line particularly tense. despite the ceasefire agreement, shooting here is a daily reality. gunshot. i've just heard a few gunshots and a couple of explosions. we are now taking cover behind this concrete wall and sandbags, and the soldiers are reassessing the situation. and then they will make a decision what to do next. we changed our position when it all went quiet. for now, the war here is regarded as a low intensity conflict. there are occasional skirmishes without any serious attempts to advance. but there is a growing concern that the situation will escalate soon. recent satellite images show what washington calls russia's unusual military activity near the border with ukraine. moscow claims that it is the west that is fuelling tensions by providing lethal weapons to the government in kyiv and conducting military drills in the region. ukrainian soldiers closely follow such reports. if they have an army on our border, up to 80,000 people, it will be really hard for us to stay here, to stay in our position. but nevertheless, we'lljust keep calm because we know that it's our territory, it's our country and we know what we have to do. gunfire. at night, shooting is more intense. it is too dangerous to get into the trenches and my infrared camera can reveal our positions. but it is not safe even inside this building. explosion. we have to leave to find a safer place to stay. but night—time flare—ups show how quickly the situation can escalate at the front line. abdujalil abdurasulov, bbc news, in eastern ukraine. the duke of cambridge has been discussing the mental health pressures of working on the frontline with two emergency workers ahead of a conference organised by his royal foundation. in footage released by kensington palace, prince william spoke to a paramedic and an emergency care assistant and reflected on his own experiences as an air ambulance pilot. when i was in the air ambulance, anyjob i went to with children, that really affected me, much more than i think if i hadn't had children. so for me, it was the relation of my personal life with effectively the family or the incident i was at. i found it very difficult. there were a number of times when i had to take myself away because i was just getting too involved in it, feeling it. for more than half a century, nearly 60 hours of footage — which shows the beatles making the let it be album — has remained in a vault. now it's been restored and made into a three—part documentary by peterjackson, who directed the lord of the rings trilogy. the first part comes out today on disney+ and peterjackson has given his only uk tv interview about it to our entertainment correspondent, colin paterson. # get back, get back... we have to do it sitting down. we get too excited. the sounds, the colours, thejoy of the beatles making music. unseen for more than half a century. ringo said that he thought we had to tell it like it is. i think we are. the man entrusted to restore almost 60 hours of footage from the let it be sessions injanuary 1969, the lord of the rings director peterjackson. what made you want to dedicate four years of your life to this project? well, i wouldn't have done it if it was the rolling stones or something, controversial, sorry, a musical documentary is not of huge appeal to me, but the beatles, yes, i'm old, 100%, four years, no problem. i loved every single second of it. once more then? yes, yes. we'll never get a chance to do it again. the project happened almost by mistake. peterjackson was meeting with the beatles' company apple to discuss the possibility of a virtual reality exhibition. so, cats and kittens, what do we have to do? as a beatles obsessive, he took the chance to ask something he always wanted to know, what happened to all the outtakes from the 1970 beatles documentary let it be? they said to me, we have got it all. as a fan i was there thinking, yes! they were thinking about using it for a documentary, a stand—alone documentary and they didn't have a film—maker attached. so the only time in my life i have done this, i put up my hand and said, "if you are looking for somebody please think of me." just say whatever comes into your head each time. attracts me like a cauliflower, until you get the word. peterjackson was offered the job the same day. his only concern, he was always told that the making of the let it be album was a gloomy time, when he sat down to watch the outtakes was surprised him was how much fun everyone was having. if the footage showed a truly miserable band not wanting to be doing what they were doing, i wouldn't have made the movie. that's not the movie i would've wanted to make. but i was amazed and surprised to see the footage showing a very different story to what i believed for a0 years. all we've got is us. what do you think? in the end, there was so much footage get back has been divided into three parts, and there is one other trilogy that links peterjackson to the beatles. 0ne real curiosity, in the 1960s the beatles actually wanted to make a lord of the rings movie directed by stanley kubrick. what did you know about that? i've been scraping together little pieces of information, i've been interrogating paul about it. and ultimately they couldn't get the rights from tolkien, because tolkien didn't like the idea of a pop group doing his story. that was an exclusive interview for uk television. you're

the channel after 27 men, women and a child drowned when the boat they were in sank as they tried to reach dover. french authorities have arrested another suspected people smuggler, bringing the total up to five. the immigration minister says human trafficking gangs must be stopped. i'm live in dover. 27 migrants died yesterday making that very same journey. the british isle ofjersey approves the princple of legalising assisted dying. the government will introduce regulator in england, following a fan—led review into the sport. borisjohnson and president macron have agreed to step up efforts to prevent people from crossing the english channel after 27 men, women and a child, drowned when their boat sank near calais as they tried to reach the uk. five suspects, believed to be linked to the crossing, two boats have been brought to dover carrying around a0 people. my colleague ben boulos is in dover. dover is the place those migrants may think that crossing are trying to reach. the conditions today with the sun out, the weather relatively calm and mild is clearly encouraged others to try and make that crossing as we have been hearing, at least two boats carrying a0 people have been brought into dover today. this despite yesterday's number of migrants dying, 27. the single biggest loss of life in the channel since records began. the authorities in northern france now have that grim task of identifying the bodies in a situation where it is chaotic, where the people boarding those boats wouldn't necessarily have had any documentation or identification on them as we start to get more details, but many questions remain, how did that boat sink? was it overloaded? did it collide with another vessel? what we do know is the alarm was raised by a fishing vessel which saw a number of people in the water and then a huge search and rescue operation began, with a couple of people rescued but the vast majority as we have heard, at least 27 confirmed to have died. along the northern french coast, the search for the missing went on after dark. but with temperatures in single digits, the chance of finding anyone alive increasingly remote. at least 27 bodies have been recovered. the biggest loss of life in the channel since it became the preferred route of people traffickers. translation: the first people responsible for this despicable | situation are the smugglers. that is to say, criminals who, for a few thousand euros, organise the trafficking of human beings from iraq, afghanistan, africa and asia. it's thought around 25 boats like this set off from the beaches of northern france yesterday. where are you going now? the uk. this one, we know, made it across the channel, but it's a treacherous journey, across one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. this disaster underscores how dangerous it is to cross the channel in this way. and it also shows how vital it is that we now step up our efforts to break the business model of the gangsters who are sending people to sea in this way. last night, the government's cobra emergency committee met, and the prime minister held an urgent phone call with the french president emmanuel macron. downing street said the two men agreed to step up joint efforts to prevent the crossings. any decisions made? evening. and to stop the gangs putting people's lives at risk. but people the bbc spoke to at this calais migrant camp last night said they would keep trying to reach the uk. uday said he attempted to cross earlier this week but gave up because the waves were too high. we need to create safe and legal routes for people to get here, through planned resettlement programmes and family reunion. and we also need to have a safe and fair asylum system here so that people, when they've made theirjourneys, can claim asylum and be fairly assessed. in calais last night, people demanding refugees be better treated held a vigil for those who died. after a year of record numbers crossing the channel, people on all sides of the argument have warned this was a tragedy waiting to happen. jon donnison, bbc news. the uk government held an emergency meeting last night, it went on late into the evening. we understand at the end of that there was a call between boris johnson the end of that there was a call between borisjohnson the uk prime minister and the french president emmanuel macron. they both seem to agree that the people smugglers must be stopped, that tougher action must be stopped, that tougher action must be taken on those who put people's lives at risk in these crossings. what seems less clear is exactly what that action will look like. let's bring in hugh schofield who was in paris for us. what more are you hearing from the french government on this? flat you hearing from the french government on this?- you hearing from the french government on this? not a great deal government on this? not a great deal- they _ government on this? not a great deal. they have _ government on this? not a great deal. they have been _ government on this? not a great deal. they have been meeting, l government on this? not a great i deal. they have been meeting, the cabinet come up with emmanuel macron, but the prime minister, the interior minister, fisheries minister, several ministers have been getting together and we expect there will be some statement at the end of that under the general rubric of needing to have a tougher response and stepping up action. quite what that will entail i don't know. there was this conversation between macron and johnson earlier yesterday and while everyone is keen to keep the proprietary is in the wake of this tragedy, the language fairly respectful, one does detect still an element of bitterness and reproach between the two sides. macron's office in their release, press release concerning the meeting saying that macron urged johnson not to instrumental eyes this for political ends which is a constant refrain from the french of course, that the british are banging against the french were not doing enough simply to divert attention from their own problems. but of course is indeed the british position that the french aren't doing enough, and so one detects even in the midst of this tragedy there is a certain degree of tension between the two sides. everyone knows that more has to be done and can agree very easily that the criminal gangs need to be hit harder, but how to go about it is not obvious. 0ne hit harder, but how to go about it is not obvious. one suggestion that we have been hearing about isjoint proposals on french beaches but that has been turned down in the past and i don't see any particular sign the french position that this is a breach of sovereignty, that french police can do it themselves, that thatis police can do it themselves, that that is going to change.- police can do it themselves, that that is going to change. there are some people _ that is going to change. there are some people who _ that is going to change. there are some people who will— that is going to change. there are some people who will wonder - that is going to change. there are j some people who will wonder why migrants will risk their lives to make such a dangerous crossing. admittedly fleeing war, poverty, persecution, but their departure point is northern france, a western european country, a country which respects the rule of law, part of all the convictions on offering asylum to those who need it, what is asylum to those who need it, what is a situation so bad there that drives people to... i a situation so bad there that drives people to- - -— people to... i think you need to contextualise _ people to... i think you need to contextualise a _ people to... i think you need to contextualise a little. _ people to... i think you need to contextualise a little. many - people to... i think you need to contextualise a little. many dol people to... i think you need to - contextualise a little. many do stay in france and seek asylum in france, france does have a generous system and many do seek asylum here but the sheer numbers mean that in addition to the ones who seek asylum in france there are many, we want to go to britain for all the reasons but are well known, the english language, the very free economy, the ability to lose one puts microsoft among your community, the lack of identity cards, the fact that there is a reputation around that britain is a reputation around that britain is a reputation around that britain is a place where it is easier to settle in. and to start anew. but as the draw, that hasn't changed in 25 years since the problem began. quite clearly what has happened is in the last three years, the gangs who were truly there before have come into much more of a powerful position because of the closing off of the railways and lorries, that whole option, it has meant an organisation has been acquired. before people could individually smuggle themselves on the back of lorries and would be told how to do it by their friends and they would work out how to do it, but that is impossible now, so the organisation has come from these gangs, these organisations. when you consider that the french have arrested 1500 boat this year who they say are people smugglers, it gives you any idea of the scale of this. 1500 people must be only a fraction of the people that are out there working for these criminal organisations, there must be thousands of them. there is a whole economy out there stretching back across europe organising this, and it has burgeoned this year because it has burgeoned this year because it works. they have a system that is running well, it operates, but is why it is going on and why it has reached this vast scale.- why it is going on and why it has reached this vast scale. you are watching bbc news. we have heard a little bit about what the french political situation is at the start of the french government on all this. let's get the view at westminster. wejoin our all this. let's get the view at westminster. we join our political correspondent damian grammaticas. it seems the uk government's approach under its new immigration plan that it talks about is making this route less viable, less appealing and in some sense suggesting they may make it harder for people to claim asylum and refugee status if they have come ljy and refugee status if they have come by what the government describes as illegal rates. but there is some criticism of that approach as well. that is the practical effect of the policies the government is looking to put in place. it has a new nationality and borders spell that is working its way through parliament, but that will do is seek to create a two tier system for the first time for those arriving and seeking asylum here. the tears being if you come across one of these routes like across the channel through boats that will be criminalised, which is not the case at the minute, and you would then be only eligible for a lower tiered protection. the time you could stay in the uk, not have recourse to public money, during that time, and be held in detention centres. all of that designed to make it much less attractive. the opponents to that say that is potentially a breach of the uk's international obligations, the uk's international obligations, the convention is that it has signed up the convention is that it has signed up to, the refugee convention which stated that people should not be treated differently based on how they arrive somewhere and furthermore that people have a right to go and seek protection in any country they choose to if they feel under threat and are in need of protection. they don't have to stop somewhere en route, they can choose where they go and the claimant needs to be heard. that is one approach which is the toughening up and trying to make it less appealing. the other approach we are seeing todayis the other approach we are seeing today is this discussion of trying today is this discussion of trying to work more closely with the french side, but this has been talked about and tried for years. the last couple of years we have heard the home secretary priti patel talking recently as much as a year ago about breaking the business model of this and working closely with the french, £15 million has been promised to the french to step up efforts on their site. but the government is calling for again today which it has called for again today which it has called for in the past was a joint patrol is in the channel and joint work on the beaches of northern france. but again that is not being accepted by the french but this is what the immigration minister kevin foster were saying this morning. well, the home secretary will be speaking to her counterpart later this morning and again, we are prepared to offer support on the ground, we are prepared to offer resources. we are prepared to offer, literally, people to go there and help and assist the french authorities. we're clear we don'tjust see this as an issue france needs to deal with, but one that we want to work together with france and our wider european partners. because we only need to look at the situation in the mediterranean or eastern europe to see this isn't just an issue in the channel, to break the business model of these gangs. and that includes things like securing returns agreements as well as the policing and law enforcement presence that there is in that part of calais. he talks about return agreements, the uk had the ability to return people when it was part of the eu under the eu's on arrangements, so that would be to transfer them to eu countries, it doesn't have that now after brexit and has not been able to negotiate new return agreements with eu countries since then, so in the past, so this year only five people we understand have been returned back to eu countries. which leads you to the different sort of solution, which refugee groups and people are pushing, which is to say the government should look at the opening safe and legal rights, means where people could apply for asylum and apply for family reunification, often people coming to join families or community networks, and so people can do that from places abroad. we know this morning the immigration minister kevin foster said it was not something the uk would be mounted to do if they were located in the u because they viewed that as just another draw for people to cross the mediterranean into eu countries. thank you. many questions still remain about the circumstances surrounding the death yesterday of 27 migrants. we know among them men women and children. tim muffett is here with me in dover. what more details have we got and what is emerging about that. we details have we got and what is emerging about that.— details have we got and what is emerging about that. we are getting more

three were children. they are also treating some to survivors who have been have severe hypothermia, one of whom is somali and one of whom is iraqi. the boats they were travelling in has been sent to lille for investigation, along a fatal vessel. a lot of entry investigation to be done. a fifth person has been arrested according to the regional prosecutor in france. also this morning the migration figures have been released and it shows migration to the uk fell sharply last year according to the official figures. this fell sharply last year according to the officialfigures. this is a net migration, the number of people arriving minus the number leaving. however migrant crossings are not counted in these tallies. it is extraordinary to look at the number of people who have crossed over the channel this year, more than 23,000 have made the crossing. in this month alone more than 6000 people. despite the dreadful dangers and terrible news we have had yesterday, people are still prepared to make this journey and we also note two boats arrived this morning with around a0 people on board. the; boats arrived this morning with around 40 people on board. as we stand here — around

safety, compassion, justice and cooperation. there are calls for cooperation. there are calls for cooperation from a number of people and politicians on both sides of the channel so i think there will

accept the appointment of an independent regulator for english football to ensure the financial stability and good governance of the game. it's one of a number of recommendations made by a fan—led review, which was carried out by the former sports minister, tracey crouch. how do fans feel about the review�*s recommendations? well, let's find out — i'm joined now by the chair of the football

end of the story but it is a significant step forward and for the government this morning to announce that in principle it is prepared to accept the major recommendations to make that announcement so quickly is very encouraging. maybe at last after numerous reports over the last quarter of a century this time we might be making some real progress. we are pretty pleased this morning. you are displaying your enthusiasm for the game, i don't know what club thatis, for the game, i don't know what club that is, i probably should, but in terms of what you're wearing today, i don't know if you

seen a succession of clubs and bury being a high—profile one in the last couple of years that have suffered and in some cases gone out of existence because of the action of existence because of the action of owners who are either incompetent or in some cases even corrupt. we do believe that future burys will be stopped or certainly made far less likely if the recommendations of the report are implemented. there are other things as well which we think it will help to distribute money down the pyramid and it will help to give fans at each club a veto over certain types of decisions which is exactly what should happen. hopefully there won't be any more burys if that comes in. itruihat hopefully there won't be any more burys if that comes in. what about the ownership _ burys if that comes

welcomed the conviction of three white men who chased and killed a black jogger, ahmaud arbery, as he ran through their neighbourhood in the us state of georgia. mr biden said the killing last year was a reminder of how far america still had to go in the fight for racialjustice. the case, described by activists as a modern—day lynching, fuelled the black lives matter movement. 0ur north america correspondent aleem maqbool sent this report from georgia. 0a33. there have been times when this verdict seemed a very distant prospect. we the jury, find the defendant, travis mcmichael, guilty. whoo! the shout of relief came from the father of ahmaud arbery, who was shot dead in february of last year. two others were also found guilty of murder. they had all seen 25—year—old ahmaud running through the neighbourhood and claimed he'd fitted the description of a crime suspect. they chased him and killed him. during the trial, the man who had fired the fatal shots, travis mcmichael, was the only one of the three to take to the witness stand. ishot him. why? he had my gun. he struck me, it looked obvious that he was a... it was obvious that he was attacking me, that if he would have got the shot gun from me, then it was a life or death situation. his justification was that he killed in self—defence. but of course, that was only after he, his father and a neighbour had chased ahmaud arbery in their pick—up trucks for five minutes. ahmaud's family waited more than ten weeks and had to rely on public pressure for the police to even make any arrests. i never thought this day would come. but god is good. yes, he is. and i just want to tell everybody, thank you, thank you for those who marched, those who prayed, most of all, the ones who prayed. yes, lord. thank you, god, thank you. well, there may still be questions about the way the police behaved after this killing, questions about the underlying issues surrounding race in this society, that contributed to the killing. but for now, at least, all of those that for months have been calling forjustice for ahmaud arbery, there isjust a huge sense of relief. aleem maqbool, bbc news, brunswick, georgia. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. hello again. the met office has just recently named the area of low pressure coming our way tomorrow as storm arwen. now storm arwen is going to bring us gales in severe gales in places, spells of rain, sleet and snow. and it's going to turn much colder. today, it's cold, but a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine around. strong winds across the irish sea and also the north sea blowing in some showers on windward coasts. and some of those showers across the north of scotland will be wintry on the hills. top temperatures four to about ten degrees. through this evening and overnight, all this rain moves southwards. it won't get into the far south east where there will be some frost tonight. and behind it, increasingly, we'll see wintry showers to lower levels across scotland, and windy across scotland, northern ireland and also the irish sea. but the wind will strengthen tomorrow. we've even got the risk of gales, severe gales across the northern half of the country in places, snow again down to lower levels. and in some of the further south, we could also see a wintry mix. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: the uk and france agree to step up efforts to stop people crossing the channel after 27 men, women and a child drowned when the boat they were in, sank as they tried to reach dover. french authorities have arrested another suspected people smuggler, bringing the total up to five. the immigration minister says human trafficking gangs must be stopped. the british isle ofjersey approves the princple of legalising assisted dying. the government will introduce an independent football regulator in england, following a fan—led review into the sport. sport and a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. pep guardiola says he's "more than satisfied" after guiding his manchester city team to the knockout stages of the champions league as group winners last night. city beat paris saint—germain 2—1 at the etihad, which means they're now seeded for the last—16 stage, guaranteeing a home—tie in the second leg. gabrieljesus scored the winner, to complete an impressive comeback against mauricio pochettino's side. "a turning point for football". that's how a fan—led government review is being described by the country's culture secretary this morning. the highly anticipated review was set up in response to the ongoing crises of governance. among its recommendations is a proposed independent regulator to oversee the english game which was endorsed by mp nadine dorries this morning. the government will make a statement on the report in parliament later, with the possibility of legislation being announced next spring. people say, no more. this is ensuring that vested interests are removed from football. that football can actually start to become something sustainable for the long—term future of the english game. and that's why we are setting out today, you know, the structures, these recommendations that will actually completely change the landscape for football regulation. elsewhere in football, we've had a couple of managerial departures this morning. in the women's super league, leicester have sacked manager, jonathan morgan, with the club bottom of the table. and sheffield united have parted company with slavisa jokanovic just six months after his appointment, with the club 16th in the championship following their relegation from the premier league last season. tennis' davis cup finals begin today across three different countries, italy, austria and spain, but the competition is set to move to the uae on a five year dealfrom 2022. abu dhabi would host across multiple venues and the tournament could stretch to 12 days. it wouldn't finish until early december and there are concerns it would clash with football's world cup in nearby qatar. the decision is to be rubber stamped next week. ronnie 0'sullivan says he prefers watching snooker to playing it, but even so, he's through to the second round of the uk championship. the seven time former champion will have to play again after surviving a challenging match with michael white, eventually winning by 6—3 in york. 0'sullivan refused to be drawn on this, but some of snooker�*s big names have backed shaun murphy, over his claim that amateurs should not be allowed to play in professional tournaments. murphy was knocked out by the 19—year—old chinese amateur, si jiahui on tuesday and said afterwards, "that young man shouldn't be in the tournament." the world snooker tour said it "strongly disagrees with his comments" but defending champion neil robertson, world number one mark selby and three—time world champion mark williams, have said they agreed with murphy, who isn't backing down. i have seen today how this story has blown up and it's still trending and all the rest of it. it's madness, really, from my point of view. but for me there has to be a line. you know, if there is no distinction between the pro tours and amateur tours, let's just have one big tour then. and i think amateurs, very good amateurs, by the way, standing in front of them potentially being banana skins for professional players who earn their living this way is a problem. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. just want to bring you the latest on our top story today. president macron, the french president has been speaking about the deaths of 27 migrants. he said when migrants arrive on the shores of the english channel, it is already too late. he said security forces are mobilized day and night to tackle the problem of illegal migrants. also, apparently he said we need to strengthen cooperation with britain, the netherlands, belgium and the european commission to tackle the problem. you can see those live pictures of president macron, who is speaking, as you can see, ins a grab. but of course, a lot of pressure on both sides for some action to be taken to stop this crossing. but the problem is incredibly complex and it has been going on for decades. but the fact 27 people have died in that latest number of casualties has refocused attention on this. we know that many people keep coming and the question for many is why? why do people make that incredible dangerous journey. the bb spoke to one man, sultan, who travelled to calais, but is still determined to make the crossing to the uk. you know it is too late, you know you can die, it is dangerous? just one person's story, sultan, who travelled from the sedan to calais, trying to get to the uk. jersey's independent parliament has voted overwhelmingly in favour of the principle of legalising assisted dying, paving the way for the biggest channel island to become the first place in the british isles to change its law. detailed work will now begin to determine how a system of assisted dying could work and further political votes will then be required, in a process expected to take at least 18 months. i'm joined now by chief executive of dignity in dying, sarah wootton. thanks very much forjoining us. your reaction to this? i thanks very much for “oining us. your reaction to this?-

anxieties. at the end he became too ill and died in hospice. but the critical point was the anxiety and concern, it could have been relieved byjust knowing he had the option. i spoke to him and he was

of these laws have residency stipulation. you would have to be a resident ofjersey to do it. i think this is a very important vote because it shows this in principle support from parliamentarians. they need to work out the details of the legislation, but there are places in the british isles that are having these discussions. there is a built in scotland, a consultation on a bill and that is open until december and a bill will be draughted in holyrood. molly meacher, the chair of dignity in dying, her bill passed second reading unopposed in the house of lords last month. the republic of ireland are also having this discussion. there has been a special committee set up there that will start in january special committee set up there that will start injanuary on a bill for them. that will take nine months. all of these places will have processes and take some time but it is important that the dial has shifted on this. and what british citizens are calling for is they want choice

seen a recent resurgence, with intensive care beds quickly filling up. the escalating crisis poses an immediate challenge to the new coalition government set to take over from angela merkel. across europe, tough new restrictions are being introduced, and the world health organization says europe is once again the epicentre of the crisis. mark lobel reports. hospitals are under strain as a highly infectious covid variant sweeps across europe alongside vaccine hesitancy and waning vaccine immunity. eliciting a new wave of restrictions like policing the pandemic in paris. incentivising injections in italy and guarding the trains in germany. the incoming coalition government in germany has reportedly resisted another national lockdown for now despite one in place in neighbouring austria and soon, slovakia. but it will form a new task force to tackle the crisis and germany's comparatively low vaccination rate. translation: vaccination is the way i out of this pandemic and facilities l where particularly vulnerable groups are cared for we should make vaccination mandatory. an expansion of this provision remains to be explored. 2g here means entry only for the vaccinated or recently recovered. no longer allowing a negative test to count. keeping the unvaccinated out. in just over one week, 2g will feature across italy, stopping the unvaccinated entering cinemas, indoor bars and stadiums. and vaccines, already mandatory for health workers, will be compulsory for the police, military and teachers. as restrictions persist, signs of unrest emerge. like in france's martinique. but despite the visible anger, new measures to combat rising cases across france are expected to be unveiled on thursday. and even though rioting erupted during a partial lockdown in the netherlands at the weekend, measures there are likely to get stricter on friday. mark lobel, bbc news. for many people, it's a staple part of the classic british weekend — the sunday afternoon

be" album — has remained in a vault. now it's been restored and made into a three—part documentary by peterjackson, who directed the lord of the rings trilogy. the first part comes out today on disney—plus — and peterjackson has given his only uk tv interview about it to our entertainment correspondent, colin paterson. # get back, get back... we have to do it sitting down. we get too excited. # get back, get back... the sounds, the colours, thejoy of the beatles making music. unseen for more than half a century. ringo said that he thought we had to tell it like it is. i think we are. the man entrusted to restore over 60 hours of footage from the let it be sessions injanuary1969, the lord of the rings director peterjackson. what made you want to dedicate four years of your life to this project? well, i wouldn't have done it if it was the rolling stones or something, controversial, sorry, a musical documentary is not of huge appeal to me, but the beatles, yes, i'm old, 100%, four years, no problem. i loved every single second of it. once more then? yes, yes. we will never get a chance to do it again. the project happened almost by mistake. peterjackson was meeting with the beatles' company apple to discuss the possibility of a virtual reality exhibition. so, cats and kittens, what do we have to do? as a beatles obsessive, he took the chance to ask something he always wanted to know, what happened to all the outtakes from the 1970 beatles documentary let it be? they said to me, we have got it all. as a fan i was there thinking, yes! they were thinking about using it for a documentary, a stand—alone documentary and they didn't have a film—maker attached. so the only time in my life i have done this, i put up my hand and said, "if you are looking for somebody please think of me." just say whatever comes into your head each time. attracts me like a cauliflower until you get the word. peterjackson was offered the job the same day. his only concern, he was always told that the making of the let it be album was a gloomy time, when he sat down to watch the outtakes what surprised him was how much fun everyone is having. if the footage showed a truly miserable band not wanting to be doing what they were doing i would not have made the movie. that's not the movie i wanted to make. i was amazed and surprised to see the footage showing a very different story to what i believed for a0 years. mccartney has said watching this documentary has changed his perception of it. when i talk to ringo or paul, in 1969, he said you remember the movie, because he obviously saw it. you were very unhappy in 1970, there was lawyers, it was a stressful time. they weren't a band intending to break up when this was being shot. that is what you see on the screen. and the secret nature of much of the filming allows a unique insight in what it was really like to be in the studio with the beatles. the cameraman would hit the button, ten minutes of film, they would walk away and have a cup of tea. the beatles would feel, they would loosen up and feel they weren't being filmed and they could be honest with each other. it's when they don't know they're being filmed that you get amazing insight into the individuals in this band. what did you learn about the beatles from those moments? i learnt that they were unbelievably normal people. they were liverpool guys. there a psychic connection between them all, they don't have to talk to each other to know what they're thinking and what to do. the strong depth of that friendship really struck me. the best bit of us always has been and always will be is when backs are against the wall. all we've got is us. what you think? in the end, there was so much footage get back has been divided into three parts and there is one other trilogy that links peterjackson to the beatles. 0ne real curiosity, in the 1960s the beatles actually wanted to make a lord of the rings movie directed by stanley kubrick. what did you know about that? i have been scraping together little pieces of information, i've been interrogating paul about it and, ultimately, when i went india at the beginning of 1968, john, paul and george each got one lord of the rings book to read in india and they got excited about it and ultimately they couldn't get the rights from tolkin because he didn't like the idea of a pop group telling his story. how different your life might have been if they had made that movie. when i spoke to paul, he said i'm glad we didn't do it because you got to do yours and i like your film. i don't know. i said to him, it's a shame you didn't because what with the soundtrack to be like? that would have been 1a or 15 beatles songs that would have been pretty incredible to listen to. one, two, three, four. peterjackson, thank you very much for speaking to us. you're very welcome. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. hello again. the met office has named the area of low pressure coming our way tomorrow as storm arwen. storm arwen is going to have strong winds, severe gales and spells of rain, sleet and snow and it will turn colder as well. it's a cold day today. a lot of dry weather, sunshine, good visibility but windy in the west, the east and the north. that wind driving in showers, most of which will be rain, some of them still wintry across the highlands. you might see wintriness in the hills in northern ireland and the north york moors. 0vernight, rain gathering across the north west will continue to push steadily southwards. the wind is going to pick up across scotland, northern ireland and the irish sea and increasingly will see wintry showers of low levels in scotland as well. clear skies in the southeast with some frost. this area of low pressure is storm arwen and it's going to be moving slowly southwards. the isobars tell you it's going to be fairly windy. on friday, starting with rain living southwards, behind it some sunshine but still showers and increasingly those will be down to lower levels across scotland. the met office has an amber weather warning for the eastern half of scotland and the north—east of england. strong wind, 65 to 75 mph and possibly more along the coast. here is the low pressure and you can see all the cloud, rain, sleet and snow pushing steadily southwards through friday night. this see some accumulations across the pennines for example and still windy, again especially across scotland, northern ireland and northern england. as we head into saturday, the met office has a weather warning out for almost the whole uk at this stage for wind and you can see how the system moves down into the south—east taking its rain, sleet and snow with it. a cold feel to the day with a—9. add on the strength of the wind and chill and it will feel below freezing for many. on saturday, it will feel raw. as we head into sunday, still some wintry showers to clear away from the south—east but the wind will start to ease. this is bbc news. the headlines... the uk and france agree to step up efforts to stop people crossing the channel after 27 men, women and a child drowned when the boat they were in, sank as they tried to reach dover. french authorities have arrested another suspected people smuggler, bringing the total up to five. the immigration minister says human trafficking gangs must be stopped. the british isle ofjersey approves the princple of legalising assisted dying. the government will introduce an independent football regulator in england, following a fan—led review into the sport. borisjohnson and president macron have agreed to step up efforts to prevent people from crossing the english channel after 27 men, women and a child, drowned when their boat sank near calais as they tried to reach the uk. in the last hour, president macron said that by the time migrants have arrived on the shores of the channel in northern france — it's already too late to be dealing with the problem. five suspects, believed to be linked to the fatal crossing, two boats have been brought to dover carrying around a0 people. my colleague ben boulos is in dover. dover is the destination of those migrants were trying to reach. 27 of them didn't make it. the french authorities now have that grim task of identifying those migrants who died trying to reach the shores of the uk. of course it is a difficult task by the very nature of the crossing, it is chaotic, they more likely than not had no documentation or id and there are many questions that remain surrounding the circumstances that led to the boat capsizing or going down and leaving them in the water. did it sink because it was overloaded? did it hit another vessel? this is one of the worlds busiest shipping lanes and although conditions today seem clear and calm you don't have to go too far before the waters become incredibly choppy at times and the freezing conditions no doubt added to the risks they faced. let's get the latest on that situation now from john donaldson. along the northern french coast, the search for the missing went on after dark. but with temperatures in single digits, the chance of finding anyone alive increasingly remote. at least 27 bodies have been recovered. the biggest loss of life in the channel since it became the preferred route of people traffickers. translation: the first people responsible for this despicable | situation are the smugglers. that is to say, criminals who, for a few thousand euros, organise the trafficking of human beings from iraq, afghanistan, africa and asia. it's thought around 25 boats like this set off from the beaches of northern france yesterday. where are you going now? the uk. this one, we know, made it across the channel, but it's a treacherous journey, across one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. this disaster underscores how dangerous it is to cross the channel in this way. and it also shows how vital it is that we now step up our efforts to break the business model of the gangsters who are sending people to sea in this way. last night, the government's cobra emergency committee met, and the prime minister held an urgent phone call with the french president emmanuel macron. downing street said the two men agreed to step up joint efforts to prevent the crossings. any decisions made? evening. and to stop the gangs putting people's lives at risk. but people the bbc spoke to at this calais migrant camp last night said they would keep trying to reach the uk. uday said he attempted to cross earlier this week but gave up because the waves were too high. we need to create safe and legal routes for people to get here, through planned resettlement programmes and family reunion. and we also need to have a safe and fair asylum system here so that people, when they've made their journeys, can claim asylum and be fairly assessed. in calais last night, people demanding refugees be better treated held a vigil for those who died. after a year of record numbers crossing the channel, people on all sides of the argument have warned this was a tragedy waiting to happen. jon donnison, bbc news. in london late into the evening there was an emergency meeting of there was an emergency meeting of the uk government's cobra committee, the uk government's cobra committee, the high—level committee that deals with urgent situations. we are told at the end of that there was a goal between the uk prime minister boris johnson and french president emmanuel macron. president macron has been speaking today and has been calling for greater cooperation among eu countries to deal with the problem of human trafficking. let's listen to a bit of what he said. translation:— listen to a bit of what he said. translation: ~ , ., translation: when these men and women arrive _ translation: when these men and women arrive on _ translation: when these men and women arrive on the _ translation: when these men and women arrive on the channel- translation: when these men and women arrive on the channel coast l translation: when these men and| women arrive on the channel coast it is already too late. this morning the prime minister had a meeting and we considered all our conclusions. we got maximum presence on the border using drones and mobilising our reserves. we need more cooperation from the british because we are guarding the border for the british. these people don't want to live in france. those who want to live in france. those who want to live here will take care of them. we have centres in calais and dunkirk. this get a bit more on the french side of things. we can speak to hugh schofield our correspondent in paris. it is one thing to call for greater cooperation. is there any more detail on what that might actually look like in practice? hat actually look like in practice? not at all. frankly _ actually look like in practice? iirrt at all. frankly that clip of macron is the first we have heard today from anybody in authority about what they might be considering. it is all still very much in the realm of generality. i dare say there are areas in which they can creep up their presence may be, but it is difficult to know. the problem has been around for so long, it is not as if there could be any sudden discoverable avenues of possibility to pursue. he mentioned drones there, there have been problems with drones here in france because of civil rights issues and the law i think it's going to be changed to make it easier to fly drones and patrol the coast with them. that would be a course pressure to do more and maybe allow british police to join with the french, i going to be a goer, it certainly hasn't been up until now. the tragic and dramatic development, i don't think it would change french views on sovereignty when it comes to patrolling the beaches. then there is the question of greater european cooperation because that is another area which they are clearly going to have to pursue because the lesson of all this is the network is deep into the heart of europe.— all this is the network is deep into the heart of europe. thank you for the heart of europe. thank you for the moment- _ so far this year we know something like 25,000 people have made the crossing over the channel by boat. that is already more than tripled the number... some of the most unstable and dangerous parts of the world, the house majority coming from eritrea, yemen, chad, egypt, sudan and iraq. the so—called push factor is the fact they are fleeing war, poverty, persecution and that is what drives them to take to those perilous small, unsafe boats to make the crossing. our correspondent dan johnson is in dover — and has been investigating the boats people trying to cross the channel use. some of the boats had actually arrived on the south coast here, we think yesterday. there are eight of these inflatables left here. presumably these are people who actually made the crossing successfully but you get an idea of the sort of thing they are coming in. these are pretty flimsy inflatables that are really just held together you can see in the bottom, banks of wood that give them some degree of rigidity. you can see a bit of stuff migrants have carried with them. it is not very sturdy at all, not offering a great deal of protection, even when fully inflated. there is not much protection they are against what could be really choppy waters in the channel. there is even a hat left in there, an attempt presumably to try and keep warm as it gets even colder on these crossings and as the weather gets worse, it will be getting choppy and more dangerous. these gentlemen are breaking up these birds and taking away the remains. you can see here there are fuel cans, some bits of equipment there that people will have carried with them, or is to try and get them across and give them some degree of steering and in the truck you can see there are the motors from the boats that were used to propel them across the channel. then you have got life jackets. there is a small mountain of them growing here, signs that people only have the very basics in terms of trying to keep them safe on these crossings and thatis them safe on these crossings and that is why people have been saying it was only a matter of time until something like this happened and that people lost their lives on a big scale. what we don't know is presumably the people who were on these birds made a tear safer yesterday, what has happened to them now, where are they? we have been turning from boris johnson's spokesperson. he said, we do need to address illegal migration upstream and before people actually reach the french coast we also need to continue to offer more resources and personnel to be french asjoint patrols. the french question of sovereignty there. discussions are ongoing on that front apparently. also both saying we need to address the whole problem and earlier before people actually get to the calais border. in the last hour, the labour leader sir keir starmer has been speaking about the tragedy. to be honest i am sick of the home secretary laying to the headlines on this with grand statements about what she is going to do, turning boats back, but actually not achieving anything in relation to this issue. we need to be working with the french in the camps, working upstream on law enforcement, because in the camps, one of the problems is full for the power of the people smugglers is far greater than those of the authorities because we are not doing enough work to break that link and if the people smugglers say it is your turn, year on the boat this here it is, then desperate people who have got as far as the coast of france are more likely to do what the smugglers are telling them to do than the authorities giving them support they need. a man has appeared in court charged with the murders of a couple who were

appointment of an independent regulator for english football to ensure the financial stability and good governance of the game. it's one of a number of recommendations made by a fan—led review. malcolm clarke is chair of the football supporters' association and welcomes the measures set out in today's review. we are very pleased on the whole with the report. it includes many of the recommendations we would have liked to have seen. of course it is not the end of the story but it is a significant step forward and for the government this morning to announce that in principle it is prepared to accept the major recommendations to make that announcement so quickly is very encouraging. maybe at last after numerous reports over the last quarter of a century this time we might be making some real progress. the digital, culture, media and sport secretary, nadine dorries, has given her response to the review but says she can't put dates on when any changes might be introduced. in terms of recommendations, obviously the independent regulator, we support that in principle, we will take that away and start looking at how we can make that work stop it is a very detailed review so we are needing to look at other recommendations and see how we can make those work as well, but i am very excited about the prospect of an independent regulator. just very excited about the

now recorded more than 100,000 covid deaths. it weathered earlier waves of the virus better than many other european countries, but has seen a recent resurgence, with intensive care beds quickly filling up. across europe, tough new restrictions are being introduced, and the world health organization says europe is once again the epicentre of the crisis. in the last few minutes, france has recommended that everyone aged over 18 gets a third covid vaccine shot — and that third shot will be compulsory if you want a valid vaccine passport. meanwhile croatia looks like becoming the latest country to consider a fresh lockdown. mark lobel reports. hospitals are under strain as a highly infectious covid variant sweeps across europe alongside vaccine hesitancy and waning vaccine immunity. eliciting a new wave of restrictions like policing the pandemic in paris. incentivising injections in italy and guarding the trains in germany. translation: she has only had the first vaccination and has i not yet been tested. she is a foreigner and does not understand german. next station i can get out and look for where i could do a test. the incoming coalition government in germany has reportedly resisted another national lockdown for now despite one in place in neighbouring austria and soon, slovakia. but it will form a new task force to tackle the crisis and germany's comparatively low vaccination rate. translation: vaccination is the way i out of this pandemic and facilities i where particularly vulnerable groups are cared for we should make vaccination mandatory. an expansion of this provision remains to be explored. in some parts the writing is already on the wall for the unvaccinated. 2g here means entry only for the vaccinated or recently recovered. no longer allowing a negative test to count. keeping the unvaccinated out. in just over one week, 2g will feature across italy, stopping the unvaccinated entering cinemas, indoor bars and stadiums. and vaccines, already mandatory for health workers, will be compulsory for the police, military and teachers. as restrictions persist, signs of unrest emerge. like in france's martinique. but despite the visible anger, new measures to combat rising cases across france are expected to be unveiled on thursday. and even though rioting erupted during a partial lockdown in the netherlands at the weekend, measures there are likely to get stricter on friday. it all comes as the world health organization warns that covid is unlikely to be beaten by vaccines alone, despite jabs saving large numbers of people across europe as it fears what it calls the continent's top cause of death could still claim hundreds of thousands more lives. mark lobel, bbc news. joining me now is pim cuijpers, who's a

when the boat they were in, sank as they tried to reach dover. french authorities have arrested another suspected people smuggler, bringing the total up to five. the immigration minister says human trafficking gangs must be stopped. the british isle ofjersey approves the princple of legalising assisted dying. the government will introduce an independent football regulator in england, following a fan—led review into the sport. the home secretary, priti patel is talking to her french opposite number around now over the migration problem we are seeing with 27 people losing their lives just yesterday. we are being told there will be a readout of that government consultation later. the home secretary will be addressing the house of commons and will be talking about potential ideas in terms of how to go forward. the prime minister's reaction to more small boats crossing the channel this morning, what was the reaction to that? the spokesman says it is why we need to step up our work with our french counterparts to stamp on this horrific trade which preys on vulnerable people. they go on to say they offer more personnel and resources and there is an offer of joint patrols. the prime minister repeated the british offer of personnel on french beaches. that so far has been resisted by the french on the grounds of sovereignty but they hope they reconsider in the light of yesterday. and sources in the uk are pointing to french officials here already exist on the eurostar. that is the latest briefing from downing street and what the british and french governments are trying to do on the whole migration crisis. jersey's independent parliament has voted overwhelmingly in favour of the principle of legalising assisted dying, paving the way for the biggest channel island to become the first place in the british isles to change its law. detailed work will now begin to determine how a system of assisted dying could work and further political votes will then be required, in a process expected to take at least 18 months. i'm joined now by freddy miller, political reporterfor bbcjersey. this is quite a moot moment for this, so what happens next? its, this is

will become the first place in the british isles if it were to go down this route and eventually decide to legalise assisted dying. a lot has to happen between now and the potential point which we are expecting wouldn't be until at least early 2023. this decision paves the way. basically it sets out a road map. it sees jersey�*s way. basically it sets out a road map. it seesjersey�*s politician saying yes, we want to look further at assisted dying. plenty of work will take place to consider how well it worked, it would be eligible, what safeguards will be in place? when will they start? how can we ensure that vulnerable people are protected and safe? a lot of work has to happen. as a result of this decision, which was overwhelming, 39 politicians in jersey, decision, which was overwhelming, 39 politicians injersey, 36 of them voted in favour of this. as a result of this decision, it now appears the government is being tasked with finding out exactly how to make this work. while there are no guarantees the law will be changed, it sets is on the path and campaigners will see this as a major step in the right direction as far as they are concerned.— direction as far as

would be able to avail of the service if it does become law? yes, the idea is it would bejust forjersey residents. the exact details still haven't been set out. what politicians have agreed is an overarching framework, the considerations that might take place. but what has been said is this would only be forjersey residents and they would have to fit into certain eligibility criteria. they would have to be over the age of 18, have the capacity to make the decision that they wish to end their lives. they would have to be suffering from a terminal illness of which they are expected to die in the next six months or have a physical, incurable condition that leaves them in an and insufferable pain. the exact details are still to be determined, but what we have seen is more is going to be done to look into all of these things. we have seen concern about this, particularly as i mentioned, it is notjust going to be for people with terminal illnesses. so some people opposed to this have suggested that could be see a slippery slope where the eligibility criteria continues to widen? all of that will come down to widen? all of that will come down to the safeguards and all of these decisions are still to be made. lots of detail to be discussed but what we have got today is an independent parliament ofjersey saying yes, they think assisted dying in principle, is a good idea. now

president biden has welcomed the conviction of three white men who chased and killed a black jogger, ahmaud arbery, as hejogged through their neighbourhood in the state of georgia. mr biden said the killing last year was a reminder of how far america still had to go in the fight for racialjustice. the case was described by activists as a modern—day lynching. our north america correspondent aleem maqbool sent this report from georgia. 0433. there have been times when this verdict seemed a very distant prospect. we the jury, find the defendant, travis mcmichael, guilty. whoo! the shout of relief came from the father of ahmaud arbery, who was shot dead in february of last year. two others were also found guilty of murder. they had all seen 25—year—old ahmaud running through the neighbourhood and claimed he'd fitted the description of a crime suspect. they chased him and killed him. during the trial, the man who had fired the fatal shots, travis mcmichael, was the only one of the three to take to the witness stand. ishot him. why? he had my gun. he struck me, it looked obvious that he was a... it was obvious that he was attacking me, that if he would have got the shot gun from me, then it was a life or death situation. his justification was that he killed in self—defence. but of course, that was only after he, his father and a neighbour had chased ahmaud arbery in their pick—up trucks for five minutes. ahmaud's family waited more than ten weeks and had to rely on public pressure for the police to even make any arrests. i never thought this day would come. but god is good. yes, he is. and i just want to tell everybody, thank you, thank you for those who marched, those who prayed, most of all, the ones who prayed. yes, lord. thank you, god, thank you. well, there may still be questions about the way the police behaved after this killing, questions about the underlying issues surrounding race in this society, that contributed to the killing. but for now, at least, all of those that for months have been calling forjustice for ahmaud arbery, there isjust a huge sense of relief. aleem maqbool, bbc news, brunswick, georgia. a new report has found that water companies in england and wales issued more than 5,500 alerts of sewage being discharged into coastal waters in the last year. the surfers against sewage campaign group say that's 88% higher than last year's figure. southern water scored worst for the total number of sewage overflow discharges, and for the average number per location. today is the launch of a book by the photographer rankin, called performance. now for more than 700 episodes, fans have been hooked on the simpsons, with its cast of hundreds becoming a part of many of our lives. the show has experienced some historic firsts, the first same sex kiss on tv being a notable example, and now it crosses a new frontier years in the making. simpsons stalwart waylon smithers, long known as the mr burns right hand man, found love on sunday, in a landmark episode for the series, for the first time the show centred its storyline around a gay love story. it's an amazing moment for fans of the show, and for lgbtq+ visibility, johnny lazebnik wrote the episode. my my dad is a writer on the show and he read the episode where withers came out formally. when he talked about the next subject to want to tackle, he wanted to explore smithers as a three—dimensional character, go into what his life is like and what his love life might be like. five years ago when he wrote the episode in which smithers came out, he consulted me. but that this episode he decided to write it with me to get a more gay perspective on it. ., , , .,. ., it. there has been huge reaction, talk us through _ it. there has been huge

mother red riding boots in december 1944. the royals acted alongside children from the windsor castle community. our royal correspondent daniela relph went to have a look. windsor castle is christmas ready. its trees are decorated, its grand state rooms dressed. and this year the castle is taking visitors back in 80 years, to the days when a pair of teenage girls who lived here tried to lift spirits during the christmases of the second world war. princess elizabeth, as she was then, and her sister, princess margaret, created an annual royal pantomime. for the first time, some of their costumes have come out of the archive and are on display. the two princesses were always the star performers. the shows were staged in this room, the waterloo chamber. the audience was castle staff, the local school, troops and the king and queen. money from tickets sold was used to make blankets for soldiers on the front line. i know we are in the grand surroundings of windsor castle, but there is something quite ordinary about putting on a show for your family and friends? yes, ordinary up to a point. they were supported by sound technicians that came specially from the bbc. you know, special set designers. but that was very much blended with that kind of home—made element, too. so whilst the performances looked very grand and very beautiful there was very much a home—grown spirit to it all. the pantos also showed the strong sibling bond. on stage, in costume, elizabeth and margaret were a formidable partnership. and privately, these royal sisters where vital support for one another. they were often away from their parents, having moved out of london during the war. and the evacuee experience is part of this christmas display. the paintings of fairy tale characters that provided a backdrop to the pantos were designed by an art student evacuated to windsor. his story will be brought to life for younger visitors to the castle. "many, many years ago when the bullets had hit london, i was in evacuee and i came here to windsor castle." i think pantomimes are very relatable to children and families, this time of year. and it's also a story about finding the best in hard times, which i think we can all relate to in the past couple of years. as the queen heads into his 70th year on the throne, the panto display is a reminder of christmases here at the castle during a unique time in her life — before she had taken on the responsibilities of monarch. it is a snapshot of a royal childhood, of how christmas at the castle tried to bring some festive cheer to the dark days of war. daniela relph, bbc news, windsor. for more than half a century, nearly 60 hours of footage, which shows the beatles making the "let it be" album, has remained in a vault. now it's been restored and made into a three—part documentary by peterjackson, who directed the lord of the rings trilogy. the first part comes out today on disney—plus and peterjackson has given his only uk tv interview about it to our entertainment correspondent, colin paterson. # get back, get back... we have to do it sitting down. we get too excited. # get back, get back... the sounds, the colours, thejoy of the beatles making music. unseen for more than half a century. ringo said that he thought we had to tell it like it is. i think we are. the man entrusted to restore almost 60 hours of footage from the let it be sessions injanuary 1969, the lord of the rings director peterjackson. what made you want to dedicate four years of your life to this project? well, i wouldn't have done it if it was the rolling stones or something, controversial, sorry, a musical documentary is not of huge appeal to me, but the beatles, yes, i'm old, 100%, four years, no problem. i loved every single second of it. once more then? yes, yes. we will never get a chance to do it again. the project happened almost by mistake. peterjackson was meeting with the beatles' company apple to discuss the possibility of a virtual reality exhibition. so, cats and kittens, what do we have to do? as a beatles obsessive, he took the chance to ask something he always wanted to know, what happened to all the outtakes from the 1970 beatles documentary let it be? they said to me, we have got it all. as a fan i was there thinking, yes! they were thinking about using it for a documentary, a stand—alone documentary and they didn't have a film—maker attached. so the only time in my life i have done this, i put up my hand and said, "if you are looking for somebody please think of me." just say whatever comes into your head each time. attracts me like a cauliflower until you get the word. peterjackson was offered the job the same day. his only concern, he was always told that the making of the let it be album was a gloomy time, when he sat down to watch the outtakes what surprised him was how much fun everyone is having. if the footage showed a truly miserable band not wanting to be doing what they were doing i would not have made the movie. that's not the movie i wanted to make. i was amazed and surprised to see the footage showing a very different story to what i believed for a0 years. it's going to be a comical thing in 50 years — it's going to be a comical thing in 50 years time. paul mccartney has said watching this documentary has changed his perception of the break—up. when i talk to ringo or paul, about 1969, he said you remember the movie, because he obviously saw it. you were very unhappy in 1970, there was lawyers, it was a stressful time. they weren't a band intending to break up when this was being shot. that is what you see on the screen. and the secret nature of much of the filming allows a unique insight in what it was really like to be in the studio with the beatles. the cameraman would hit the button, ten minutes of film, they would walk away and have a cup of tea. the beatles would think, the camera was just sitting there, they would loosen up and feel they weren't being filmed and they could be honest with each other. it's when they don't know they're being filmed that you get amazing insight into the individuals in this band. what did you learn about the beatles from those moments? i learnt that they were unbelievably normal people. they were liverpool guys. there's a psychic connection between them all, they don't have to talk to each other to know what they're thinking and what to do. the strong depth of that friendship really struck me. the best bit of us always has been and always will be is when backs are against the wall. all we've got is us. what you think? in the end, there was so much footage get back has been divided into three parts and there is one other trilogy that links peterjackson to the beatles. one real curiosity, in the 1960s the beatles actually wanted to make a lord of the rings movie directed by stanley kubrick. what did you know about that? i have been scraping together little pieces of information, i've been interrogating paul about it and, ultimately, when they went india at the beginning of 1968, john, paul and george each got one lord of the rings book to read in india and they got excited about it and ultimately they couldn't get the rights from tolkin because he didn't like the idea of a pop group telling his story. paul is frodo? i believe. how different your life might have been if they had made that movie. when i spoke to paul, he said i'm glad we didn't do it because you got to do yours and i like your film. i don't know. i said to him, it's a shame you didn't because what with the soundtrack to be like? that would have been 1a or 15 beatles songs that would have been pretty incredible to listen to. one, two, three, four. peterjackson, thank you very much for speaking to us. you're very welcome. just to let you know we are waiting for the home secretary, priti patel, to address the house of commons on the whole migration problem. we know she has been speaking to her french counterparts and we are waiting for a government update, given the tragic events of yesterday. many, many political questions being asked both sides of the channel. the one o'clock news is coming up, but here is the weather. it has been a cold but it's sunny day today, and the first named storm, sweeping gales across areas into saturday, and that is storm arwen, disruption is expected. ahead of that we have clear skies this evening, temperatures will be tumbling very quickly but there is more cloud and rain arriving in scotland, pushing into northern ireland and back cloudy, wet weather. coming overnight. to be replaced by clear spells and showers with the wind is picking up. ahead of the rain, even in the south—east of the rain, even in the south—east of england it is chilly first thing in the morning. temperaturesjust above freezing. the patchy rain and cloud drive south across england and wales tomorrow morning and we get brighter skies with sunshine following and showers may turn wintry in northern ireland. snow beginning to arrive in northern parts of scotland as the winds pick up. these are the temperatures, seven, eight, 9 degrees. but the winds are picking up all the while and this is where we have a number of wind warning from the met office heading into saturday morning. gusts of 75 miles an hour or more near the coastal areas. storm arwen will be tracking into the north sea, it has some rain and snow wrapped around it. it is on the back edge of that storm that we have those really strong winds. those will drive southwards overnight to many parts of the country, leaving us with a very windy day on saturday. these are the gusts we are expecting, not just windy across north—eastern areas but across western coasts and through the irish sea we will have gales, may be severe gales. we have cloud, outbreaks of rain and may be sleet and snow over the hills. but mailing all day cross is the part of england are many areas brightening up england are many areas brightening up as the showers become fewer. these are the temperatures we are looking at but when you add on the strength of the wind, it is going to feel significantly colder on saturday. as we had from saturday into sunday, the weather starts to calm down, storm arwen heading into continental europe and weakening. i'll be quite the front arriving into northern ireland and threatening a bit of rain here. windy across eastern part of england, wintry showers continuing on the coastal areas and northern scotland. at many places will be dry with some sunshine, still cold, but not as windy. today at one, urgent talks between london and paris over people—smuggling after the deaths of 27 drown in the english channel. a pregnant woman and three children were among the dead. despite yesterday's tragedy, more make the journey to britain today. the government says cooperation across the channel is desperately needed to save lives. we are prepared to offer support on the ground, we are prepared to offer resources, we are prepared to offer literally people to go there and help and assist the french authorities. france says the whole of europe must unite to end the deaths at sea. translation: these people. are exploited to promise them el dorado in england, and unfortunately this has been repeated every day for over 20 years.
