United nations investigators are on their way to the Ukrainian Village where a Missile Strike killed more than 50 people on thursday, in one of the deadliest single attacks on civilians since russias invasion began. They will gather evidence and testimony, which could be used in any future war crimes trial. Ukraine has accused russia of deliberately targeting a funeral wake in hroza in the North Eastern kharkiv region. Every family there was affected when a missile hit a cafe where mourners had gathered after a funeral. Footage released by kharkiv officials reveals extensive damage after a missile attack. The local prosecutor insists the attack was deliberate. The kremlin says it doesnt target civilians. What is certain is the level of Human Suffering involved. Listen to this witness. A warning, you might find his testimony distressing. Translation i wish i were dead. All my dearest people will be laid here. Our village was very united. What am i going to do now . Close friends, cousins, all were killed. My dearest people will be put to rest here. For more on this, heres our correspondent James Waterhouse, who is on the ground in hroza. As you can see, a memorial has been set up in the middle of the blast zone where this missile hit yesterday. We are in a playground where most of the bodies were recovered. And eerily, the swings and the slide are still standing. And hroza is a tiny settlement. It feels very strange to be stood in such destruction in somewhere so small. You can see vehicles have been caved in by the sheer force of the blast, and such is the power generated, its not immediately obvious what was hit. A lot of the debris has been cleared away to the side. You can see a fridge. You can see air conditioning units, twisted metal, all these Signature Signs of a Missile Strike. And then here you have the building that was directly hit, a cafe shop where a funeral wake was taking place yesterday for a ukrainian soldier. Now, as far as the prosecutor for this area is concerned, it was a deliberate attack by moscow. The use of a ballistic missile, these iskander missiles, which are fairly accurate, reinforces that claim. But for now, you just have a scene like this in a village of 300, and it impacts everyone here. It goes far beyond this scene of devastation where, once again, we see civilian areas, civilians themselves, targeted by russian missiles. And theres debris like this dotted around. And you can tell its from a missile because its heavy. It is dense metal. Its quite a sight for a village so small. That was James Waterhouse their reporting. Almost unimaginable scenes there. Almost unimaginable scenes there. Approximately 400 miles to the south, in the russian controlled port of sevastopol, there are signs that russian grip on occupied crimea, and the black sea itself, may be slipping, following a number of successful attacks on russian ships and naval facilities. Its been reported that russia has moved nearly all of its Black Sea Fleet from sevastopol in crimea. The bbc hasnt independently verified that. Lets explore that idea a little.

I think its of particular significance, would that hold . I think its of| particular significance, because what it shows is that the russians no longer have confidence that they can go ahead and defend the fleet while it is in sevastopol. That is important, because by moving them around the corner of crimea, and off to russia, and potentially off to a port, get to be designated port, to that it takes that fleet and breaks it up, and that is for the benefit of the ukrainians. Itjust shows the russians are having a lack of confidence in their ability to defend both of the fleet and crimea. Interesting. What role has the ukrainian strikes played on that .

The other aspect is that the ukrainians have mixed up the use, or mixed in, the use of commandos. They are using armed drones. They really are using armed drones. They really are attacking the russians at places and at times of their choosing. That just really, from a defensive perspective, is giving the russians one heck of a headache.

I what it is is a continuation of what has been a war on the ukrainian people. It is a war of terror. It is a war on the unarmed and innocent, targeting of civilian targets. And as your reporter says, it appears they were purposely targeting this week for the ukrainian soldier in the small village. It is a crime against humanity. It goes against the law of war. There is no Military Value to be had by this. It is pure terror. The russians seemingly are convinced they can go ahead and terrorise the ukrainian people into some type of subjugation. It has been just the opposite. It increases the will of the ukrainian people to resist and it also supports those western people who are going ahead and saying, this is another. Russias actions are just absolutely abysmal and cannot be supported, so therefore we are going to support ukraine.

They are innovative, they are doing all the right things, ostensibly. I would hope that the United States, along with the rest of the world, would continue to support these ukrainian efforts. They are fighting on our behalf. Russia clearly has gone off the deep end in terms of what putin wanted to accomplish in ukraine, and potentially in other portions of eastern europe.

A group of politicians and Privacy Campaigners in the uk has called for an immediate stop to the use of live facial recognition for public surveillance. The group has warned that there is little evidence that the technology is effective, and that it raises concerns around human rights and the potential for discrimination. Live facial recognition cameras scan faces of the public in specific locations and compare these with people on watch lists who may be wanted by police or the courts in association with crimes. All this concern has prompted a response from the home office. They said the government was committed to making sure the police have the tools and technology they need to solve and prevent crimes, bring offenders tojustice, and keep people safe. Facial recognition, including live facial recognition, has a sound legal basis that has been confirmed by the courts. In the United States ai has been linked to some troubling errors, suggesting that facial Recognition Technology could worsen racial inequities in policing. Studies there have found that Law Enforcement agencies that use automated facial recognition disproportionately arrest black people. This is believed to be because of a lack of black faces in the algorithms Training Data sets.

This is a little problematic as being practised now. It doesnt mean that, as the technology improves, it cant be used to that same effect. It does raise a lot of Privacy Questions that we are all grappling within the west. It does raise issues about implicit bias in the algorithms. The fact of the matter is al has proven time and time again that it has a harder time distinguishing in facial recognition between faces of Colour Thanit recognition between faces of colour than it does amongst people against white individuals. That is a very real problem and creates notjust issues around privacy, but issues around equal application of the law.

This years Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to the iranian human rights activist, Narges Mohammadi. She has been a tireless campaignerfor womens rights, and for political openness. As a result, she has spent much of her life in prison. Shes currently serving a ten year sentence for crimes which include propaganda against the state. For more than a year now, the fight against the oppression of women in iran has gained particular prominence, with the protests that followed the death of mahsa amini while in police custody. And it was for that reason that the head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, began her announcement of todays prize with the slogan from those protests. Women, life, freedom. The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2023 to Narges Mohammadi for herfight against the oppression of women in iran and herfight to promote Human Rights And Freedom for all. Shortly after the announcement, Narges Mohammadis husband gave the bbc his reaction to the news. Translation when the announcer said women, life, freedom In The Beginning of her remarks, i knew that the award would be given to Narges Mohammadi. It may be glad, but i have gone through many ups and downs it made me glad, but i have gone through many ups and downs in my life and i know that this prize, apart from bringing joy to its receiver, would carry a lot of responsibilities with it. Narges is a representative of all of those this prize has gone to. It belongs to women, life, freedom, which was a Huge Movement and iran and still continues to exist. It makes me very happy, it is the biggest prize one could receive as human rights activists. Obviously we cant speak with Narges Mohammadi. Shes still in evin prison. But three years ago she was interviewed by bbc persian as part of the hardtalk programme. They asked her how winning awards for her work with human rights made her feel. This was her response. Translation in my opinion, i supporting Human Rights Efforts and actions aimed at achieving freedom and justice anywhere in the world, whether in iran or any of the country, is very important and very heart warming. The fact is, there are two different approaches towards human rights in the world. One is observing and supporting and the other one, which im focused on, is creating a body that will guarantee human rights. Lets bring our panel back in on this, mo elleithee, can we start with you. Whoever wins this award, it always rightly garners a lot of attention, and especially this year. I think that is right. And the Attention Span of the world is often very short.

We need to keep shining a light on these issues, on these places, rather than allow our Attention Span to be distracted by whatever the new thing is. This is an ongoing struggle and she is still in prison, fighting that struggle. It is heart warming to see her get this sort of recognition and refocus the attention of the world.

Thank you both for that, and just to say, there has been plenty of reaction right around the world, obviously, to the announcement. In iran that has been criticism from authorities there.

President biden asked about this and urging iran to immediately release her. That is it. I will be back injust a immediately release her. That is it. I will be back in just a couple of minutes time. This is bbc news. Hello. Friday brought us a bit of a mixed Day Weather Wise across the uk. Some rain in the north and north west, some sunshine towards the south. The next few days, a big contrast in temperature. Warmer than average by quite a bit across much of england, wales and Northern Ireland. Colder than average for scotland, particularly during the weekend, were going to see some really heavy rain moving in. Up to about 150, perhaps even 180 millimetres of rain accumulating over the next few days. Thats enough to cause some problems, so the met office have issued an Amber Weather Warning for the risk of some flooding and disruption to perhaps travel, Power Networks as well across this zone. Now, all that wet weather is due to this frontal system here, which is going to be really slow moving into the weekend, especially so on saturday. Weve got High Pressure further south. So as we head through the rest of this evening and overnight, weve already got that front with us. Its going to be pushing a bit further north. So drying up for parts of Northern Ireland and northern england, but the rain becoming particularly persistent and heavy across central parts of Scotland First thing tomorrow morning. Reasonably mild for most of us, especially towards the south, with those overnight temperatures in the mid teens. Could be a bit of low cloud, mist and murk particularly around some of these irish sea coasts to start your saturday morning. But long spells of sunshine, really, for much of england, wales and Northern Ireland. A bit of high cloud drifting around, a bit hazy. Heavy rain, though, across central parts of scotland. Those Rainfall Totals really mounting up. Now, in the sunshine in the south, we could see temperatures as high as 2a 25 degrees in one or two spots. Whereas further north, contrast that to aberdeen, just nine degrees sitting under the cloud with the rain as well. So very big contrasts, really, all round in the weather through the weekend. For sunday, weve still got the rain across scotland. Itll slowly lift northwards, so gradually drying out for some central and western areas. Best of the sunshine again will be further south, and temperatures perhaps a degree down compared to saturday. 23 or so for the warmest spots, and not quite as chilly across parts of scotland. Into monday, that rain will have cleared away. A bit of a cool northerly breeze across the north of scotland, but a dry day for most of us, i think. There will be areas of cloud drifting around, some hazy sunshine and temperatures generally in the mid to high teens in the north. But again, the mid 20s possible towards the south. That warm weather then holds on into tuesday for some southern areas, but well start to see more showers from wednesday onwards as temperatures return to more typical for the time of year. Bye bye. Hello, im lewis vaughanjones. Youre watching the context on bbc news. In scotland, the labour party score a major byelection win by taking a seat from the scottish nationalist party. With a General Election expected next year, The Labour Leader describes the result as � seismic�. By election in scotland, good result for labour. The victory in the rutherglen and Hamilton West by election doubled the number of labours mps in scotland. With a larger than expected swing of 20. 4 labours Michael Shanks secured just under 18,000 votes, more than double the totalfor the snp. But the huge swing to labour enables sir keir and his supporters to dream of a wider victory; its weakness in scotland since the 2015 wipeout has been one of the reasons it has remained so far from power in westminster; without Scotland The Road to no 10 is so much steeper for labour to travel. Lets take a listen to what sir keir starmer had to say. They said that we couldnt change the labour party and we did it. They said that we couldnt win in the south of england and the north of england and we did it. They said you will never beat the snp in scotland and rutherglen, you did it applause
