after a name king charles and catherine as the two people who were alleged to have made comments about the skin colour of their then unborn first baby. the english version doesn't name names. the book's author told newsnight he had no idea how it had happened. an investigation is under way. i'm looking forward to finding out more about it because the english version of the book, the only one i know, the version that i signed off on, that is the book that is out there today. that's the book that has no names in it. and i make it very clear, because ultimately it to write the names, it's a show and tell situation. there's no ability to show so there was never an attempt to name. he went on to insist the unsubstantiated allegations were not part of a publicity stunt. and many royal commentators say the monarchy is not facing its end game. i don't think this is the end of the monarchy. for me, this book is about two years out of date. we've had a very successful accession. charles has done a good job, i think most people would agree within the last year, 14,15 months. we've had visits abroad. and king charles is currently on one of those visits at the cop28 summit in dubai. no doubt keen for the focus to be on the environment rather than a book. though buckingham palace says it's exploring all options in response to the naming. simon jones, bbc news. before we go to the cop28 summit, these are live pictures over gaza. there has been some kind of huge explosion. we can see plumes of smoke billowing into the air. that is a shot of gaza from southern israel. we know israel has resumed fighting with hamas in the gaza strip after a temporary truce that lasted seven days. it was seven days of quiet and then today the fighting has resumed there. there had been hopes, of course, that the polls, which has seen a release of 110 hostages held by hamas and 240 palestinians held in israeli prisons, that that would have been extended, but of course, it appears those talks have failed. in a tweet the israeli defence force said hamas violated the operational clause and in addition, fired towards israeli territory. the israeli army has resumed combat against hamas. as you can see, there is significant action that we are seeing over israel. we will bring you the latest as soon as we get it. former uk health secretary matt hancock has denied lying to colleagues during the pandemic and criticised a toxic culture in government when he appeared at yesterday's covid inquiry. mr hancock said that a lockdown should have been enacted three weeks earlier than march 23rd 2020 — but stressed he was speaking with hindsight. he will continue giving evidence shortly. 0ur correspondent ellie price reports. a return to the tv screens for matt hancock. health secretary through the pandemic, he had to make decisions on everything from lockdowns to vaccine rollout, care homes to test and trace. there was a lot to get through and some important what—ifs. if we'd had the doctrine that i proposed, which is as soon as you know you've got to lockdown, you lockdown as soon as possible, then we would have got the lockdown done over that weekend in on the 2nd of march, three weeks earlier than before. there's a doubling rate at this point, estimated every three to four days. we would have been six doublings ahead of where we were, which means that fewer than a 10th of the number of people would have died in the first wave. he was defensive about his role in the earlier stages of the pandemic, too, arguing his department rose to the challenge when others were underplaying the significance of the virus. he also said a toxic culture at the centre made it difficult to get things done. from the middle ofjanuary, we were trying to effectively raise the alarm. we were trying to wake up whitehall to the scale of the problem. and this wasn't a problem that couldn't be addressed only from the health department. it should have been grasped and led from the centre of government earlier. right from the start we've tried to throw a protective ring around our care homes. he admitted for the first time that protective ring was not a circle with no breaks in it and measures to protect care homes were not totally effective. and to accusations the inquiry has previously heard from senior civil servants and aides that he had lied on several occasions, he had this to say. i was not. you will note that there is no evidence from anybody who i worked with in the department or the health system, who supported that — those false allegations. outside the inquiry, a small group of protesters were keen for matt hancock to hear their voices. with the whole group, we feel betrayed by him. he seems to think like borisjohnson, that he has the right to do what he wants to do. break every rule under the sun and expect us to accept that when we've had to go through what we've gone through and we had no say in it. if i could speak to him myself, iwould. matt hancock has given the bulk of his evidence, but he'll be back here later for a few more hours, and he'll face questions from lawyers representing bereaved families. that won't be an easy ride. ellie price, bbc news at the covid inquiry in london. let's get more now on the cop28 climate summit in dubai. world leaders have gathered in the gulf state to discuss limiting climate change. earlier today, the world leaders gathered and posed for a group photo — including the uk prime minister rishi sunak. mr sunak has announced £1.6—billion of uk funding for climate projects to support efforts to reach the paris agreement goal. he's been talking to the media upon his arrival in dubai. the prime minister, you said you were not in hock to ideological zealots when it came to

starting to kick off now. you can feel a different energy as well, just one of the biggest, if the not biggest gathering of world leaders this year. they all here for one purpose, and that is to try and ramp up purpose, and that is to try and ramp up ambition on cutting those carbon emissions country by country, by country. i wasjust emissions country by country, by country. i was just able to meet up with bill gates, the founder of microsoft. he is also somebody who is a true problem solver. his latest challenge has been tackling climate change. he has given billions of dollars looking for innovations in ways that we can start to decarbonise some really tough industries. he is here, though, ended by to talk about adaptation, to talk about agriculture and food. those are some of the big topics on the agenda for the first time in one of these for climate conferences. what bill gates is specifically concerned about and working to try to support are the small—scale farmers in rural communities, countries in africa where he has visited. in kenya, for example. dealing with the front—line effects of climate change and we have seen so many heatwaves and droughts. those have a big impact on farmers who are on the front lines. he also had a very interesting answer when i asked bill gates about the future of climate change, take a listen. what is the biggest thing that gives you

the rich countries have to lead by example and get their— have to lead by example and get their emissions down quickly. and with innovation, that becomes possible _ that magic number, the 1.5 celsius warming from preindustrial levels, that's become something of a sacred number. that is what was agreed in the paris agreement in cop21, to delimit to 2 degrees, preferably 1.5. because i'm to say that is the level at which we start to see very extreme changes in our planet and frankly, some of the effects we may not be able to adapt to so well. it was interesting to hear somebody like bill gates, who has studied this issue and worked on the issue of climate change for a long time, many, many years, to say that he doesn't then 1.5 celsius is within reach. just to say, he followed that “p reach. just to say, he followed that up and this is exactly what scientists say, is that every fraction of a degree matters. it is not a magic threshold, it is a sliding scale. every ounce of carbon we put into the atmosphere matters and every bit of emissions we prevent matters, every bit of warming matters. it is not a magic number per se, but this has become a rallying cry and some think many people are still fighting for, there is still a big movement to try to keep global warming to 1.5 celsius. it was interesting to hear bill gates' thoughts on that. we've had the big hitters. _ gates' thoughts on that. we've had the big hitters, king _ gates' thoughts on that. we've had the big hitters, king charles- the big hitters, king charles already speaking, who else are we expecting to hear

developing nations will be making their addresses. we will be hearing from some of the leaders of european nations, 0laf scholz from germany, pedro sanchez from spain and then i believe, the very last item on the agenda will be the uk prime minister, rishi sunak. ithink agenda will be the uk prime minister, rishi sunak. i think of lots of people will be watching that address and listen closely. because the uk is under renewed scrutiny now, bringing their agenda here and honestly wejust now, bringing their agenda here and honestly we just heard some of those announcements in terms of climate funding, but the uk had for a long time, been very much seen as a leading climate change and a collection of action that was unparalleled, doing so well reducing emissions and doing well in cutting back on the use of coal. now, of course, prime minister sunak announcing some decisions to maybe dilute some of the programmes and green initiatives that have been in the works. we will see what that speech entails and we will see how the uk is received here. it is a big delegation and we had that opening address from king charles. those will be the heavy hitters coming up later today and we will have more speeches even on day three. there are more than 150 global leaders gathered here at cop28 and each one will want to deliver their message. absolutely, thank you for now. the ukrainian military shot down 18 russian attack drones overnight, authorities say. kyiv�*s air force also reported destroying one out of two cruise missiles that had been launched. there have been no reports of

mansour bin zayed al nahyan, best known in the uk for his ownership of manchester city football club. it has raised concerns about the future of the influential conservative newspaper — as the bbc�*s media editor katie razzall explains. lucy fraser has been under pressure to make this intervention, not least from several conservative mps who are worried about foreign state investment. so just a reminder of this story and how we got here. injune, lloyds bank took over the daily and sunday telegraph because their owners, the barclay family, owed the bank nearly £1.2 billion. an auction process had got under way. it was dramatically halted last week because of this bid coming in on behalf of the barclay family, backed by investment from a member of the ruling family of abu dhabi. now, lloyds clearlyjust wants to take the money and move on. but lucy frazer referred the deal to two regulators, the competition and markets authority and the media regulator 0fcom. and in a letter she referenced her concerns that free expression of opinion and accurate news presentation could be impacted by this sale. now the company involved has previously offered its guarantee that if a deal did go ahead, the editorial of the independence of the titles would be protected. this year the bbc 100 women is highlighting climate pioneers who are leading the battle against the climate crisis. among

serious failings in the care of 51 young autistic people before they died — the minister for mental health in england says she's "acutely aware" of the challenges facing autism services. nearly half of the deaths were identified by coroners as relating to mental health or suicide. 0ur reporter ruth clegg has been to meet some of those, campaigning for change. skaters fly. we literally fly. we defy gravity. not only has skateboarding taught rose to fly, she says it's saved her life. the feeling you get when you do... when you go really fast and everything, the adrenaline rush. it certainly helps with mental health. after waiting nearly a year, rose has just recently been diagnosed with autism and adhd. and what do you think of this one? it's all right because i skate vert. it literally goes up. yeah. so you can't go very high on it. for many years, she feels she's been misunderstood by her school, by her local mental health services, which could have proved fatal. i know what it's like to be on the verge of suicide. l like, it's a horrible feeling. you don't want to die, but you have no other options. i know that, rose said to me, "if i'd been listened to by mental health services sooner, i wouldn't have got this bad." she was willing to speak up early on, and she did speak up, but she wasn't given the help and support that she needed. just a few weeks ago, our investigation exposed the serious and repeated failings in the care of young autistic people, and that's despite top—level warnings from coroners. of the 51 deaths we identified, nearly half were mental health—related. one of those was stefan. # happy birthday to you. the 15—year—old died after being unable to access the therapy he so desperately needed. it sparked calls for his local health authority to take action to prevent further deaths. and following our investigation, the minister for mental health said she was acutely aware of the problems facing autism services on a national level and said it was a government priority. autistic children are 28 times more likely to think about or attempt suicide than the general population. to protect other young people, stefan's dad is working with nhs england and is training the very services that failed his son. and when you put these figures in your slides and you show them to the people — the mental health professionals you're training — what's their reaction? i think they're horrified. genuinely, they're horrified. they don't want children to die, but theyjust perhaps haven't had the right training. tristan, a former detective chief inspector, is also autistic. he says it's important to change how people perceive autism. if you think people like rose, people like my son stefan, from an early, early age have had this deficit narrative aimed at them. "you can't do this. don't do that. sit still. look at me when i'm talking to you. you need this help. you need that help. you're not human. you're broken." and years and years of that accumulating results in trauma. and how worried have you been about rose's mental health over the past few years? it got really bad at the beginning of this year. basically, she had autistic burnout from sensory overload. being in school, not being understood. she didn't understand herself. we didn't understand, teachers didn't understand what was wrong with her. and yeah, basically, because of undiagnosed autism, and adhd. it's for the middle of that bit. oh, yeah. that's it there. that is for this section. and then that's for that section. rose is designing her skateboard her way. her outlook of the world is nurtured here at this skateboarding academy in kent, where autistic children still sit exams but in a completely different environment. what colour were you thinking of your base colour for this? did you have an idea? red, blue and yellow. cool school was just so much more difficult. like, when i went to school because i don't really go any more. i would always want to go to my skate lessons because i'd know that the community and everything, it would make me feel better after a hard day at school. this was his skateboard. tristan said stefan also found solace in skateboarding — one of the few times he could be himself. tristan is now trying to change a system, so all young autistic people can be themselves, wherever they are, whatever they need. and that gives me a bit of a warm glow, knowing that i'm doing something and perhaps leaving a bit of a legacy for stefan. he'd be very proud of his dad. phew! need a minute. yeah, i hope so. i hope he's sitting up there, looking down on us and saying, "go on, dad, make a difference to those other children, so they don't have to go through what i went through." let's get the weather. hello. it was a bitterly cold start to the day. last night was the coldest night since the middle of march, with temperatures down to —9.4 degrees at shap in cumbria. now through today and into the weekend it's looking cold both by day and night. a chance of some ice, some fog as well. few wintry showers, but some sunshine on offer. any of those at wintry showers for the rest of today will be close to the east coast of england, perhaps one or two for essex, northumberland, northern and eastern scotland, and one or two perhaps for northern ireland, the isle of man as well. but most places looking dry. mist and fog gradually lifting, so it'll brighten up. but any sunshine will be quite hazy. and it's not going to do too much to lift the temperature, between about freezing to plus five degrees for most of us at the highest today. now through the evening, we'll see some of these showers in the westjust popping up. in the westjust pepping up. we've got this frontal system. so it's going to bring some more wintry showers, snow showers into the likes of dumfries and galloway, perhaps anglesey. pembrokeshire could see a few of those wintry showers. but for central and south east england, it's here that we're going to see some really extensive freezing fog forming overnight. so it could be some really poor visibility first thing saturday and a really cold start, i think, wherever you are. now, saturday's weather starts on that chilly note. we have got lower pressure sitting out towards the west here, pepping up the showers again across the likes of south west scotland, north west england, few for wales and perhaps the south west of england. there'll be a mix of rain, sleet and hill snow. meanwhile, for the rest of the uk, early freezing fog only very slow to clear, quite stubborn, lingering in one of two places in the south east, but some sunshine breaking through eventually. i think perhaps temperatures only between around about freezing to four degrees for most of us. and then it's saturday evening and overnight that will start to see this snow becoming perhaps a bit more extensive as it works eastwards across england and wales. could be a few centimetres of snow for the midlands, say down towards the far south i think it'll be mainly falling as rain at low levels, perhaps some snow over the higher ground. but again, a bitterly cold start to your sunday morning. so sunday sees the first frontal system just edging away towards the east, next area of low pressure lining up there in the atlantic. so there could be some early snow for parts of eastern england first thing sunday, mainly rain that's going to be pushing in around the english channel. much of the uk having a largely dry day with mist and fog clearing away again. it's not going to feel particularly warm between about freezing to three degrees in the north, but as high as ten in the far southwest. bye— bye. you are watching bbc news. we are breaking away from our international coverage to bring you detailed coverage to bring you detailed coverage of the covid inquiry. matt hancock is set to begin his second day of evidence, we are keeping an eye on proceedings and we will bring them to live. we expect them to run until 1pm this afternoon. yesterday matt hancock defended his handling of the pandemic but he admitted many lives could have been saved if the first national lockdown had been introduced three weeks earlier. he told the inquiry that he had not lied or been overconfident, he had been forceful he said because he wanted to wake up whitehall.
