earlier i spoke to william o'neill, the united nations designated expert on the human rights situation in haiti, and he gave us his assessment of the situation on the ground. it's continuing at a pace and with an intensity that i have never seen before. i've worked in and on haiti for over 30 years now, and it's by far the worst i've ever seen it. kidnappings, rapes, killings. people are living in terror. they can't leave their houses in many cases. they certainly can't get out of the city. it's like an open air prison, except they're not even open air any more because many people i know are in hiding in their houses, or they've even had to leave their houses because they're afraid they're going to be targeted. so they're in hiding and moving around. it really is a horrendous situation. what is the way out of this? where are we going to see these political negotiations coming from or being led from? well, i hope, you know, it's always difficult, as you see, as everyone has been watching, it's taken it's like it's such a slow, painful process to have the haitian political parties and leaders try to agree on anything. i think we're getting pretty close now. that will be very important. but i think even more important is to get the security situation under control. the haitian national police are doing actually quite well given the strength of the gangs, although i think sometimes that is overrated. i think gangs have not really faced another force that is well equipped, well led and trained and ready. the haitian national police have had some small victories lately, but they need help. they definitely need help. and that's where this international force that was authorised by the united nations in october, it's still not there and it has to get there as soon as possible. the uk's broadcasting regulator, 0fcom, has found that programmes on gb news presented by conservative politicians broke broadcasting impartiality rules. 0fcom rules say, a politician cannot be a newsreader, news interviewer or news reporter, unless there is editorialjustification. it found that two episodes ofjacob rees mogg's, state of the nation, two episodes of friday morning with esther and phil, and one episode of saturday morning with esther and phil, failed to comply with the broadcasting code. in response, gb news said — it was deeply concerned by the ruling and that it will raise it directly with the regulator "in the strongest possible terms". the media group called it a "chilling development" forfree speech saying viewers might disagree with 0fcom's findings. gb news says it will continue to feature serving politicians hosting programmes "just as other 0fcom regulated services do." earlier stewart purvis, broadcaster, and former content regulator for 0fcom, gave his reaction to the ruling. i have some sympathy with gb news because i think they've had trouble understanding 0fcom's interpretation of the rules as well. so i can understand why they are coming back with a very robust argument. but i do think, for a democracy, we really need to have a situation where going into a general election, we are not going to have ten minute rants from party cheerleaders at the start of every programme on a certain channel. that cannot be the right thing, either by british tradition or the right thing in terms of british democracy. i think they have to go back towards the traditional interpretation. politicians can't present programmes about big issues of the day. they can present party political broadcasts, but they can't present news or current affairs programmes. let's speak to jake kanter, investigations editor at the entertainment news site deadline and former media correspondent for the times. thank you forjoining us. what exactly is

two is a bit of a gray area, but in these rulings, 0fcom has basically said that the likes of jacob rees mogg acted as a news reader in presenting news to the audience and that was against its rules

nicaragua we speak to human rights activists about her calls to unite the opposition parties in the country. and banksy is back, the elusive street artist confirms this mural in north london is indeed his work. mural in north london is indeed his work. around the world and across the uk. this is the world today on bbc news. the human rights activist bianca jagger is calling for all opposition parties in her home country nicaragua to come together and challenge president daniel 0rtega the americas' longest serving leader. nicaragua is located in central america, boardering costa rica and honduras. a history of dictatorship, civil war and natural disasters has left it one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere. the president is daniel 0rtega a left wing revolutionary who first served as president from 1985 toi990, with the sandinista national liberation front. in 2007, he made his political comback, getting re elected as president and he's still in power. his leadership has marked a return to authoritarian methods, including changing the consitution in 2014 to allow him to run for a third consecutive presidential term, and violent suppression of mass anti—government protests in 2018. bianca jagger founder and president of the bianca jagger human rights foundation, who explained to me what's happening in nicaragua. i found the report of the independent human rights expert, where they say that the international community should hold daniel ortega and rosario murillo accountable for grave human rights violation and as well for crimes against humanity. but another thing that they point out is that the state of nicaragua could be held accountable because they have violated the 1961 convention, especially article number nine, which is a prohibit that a regime or a government will take the state of a citizens for political religious reason, which is what daniel ortega and rosario murillo have done. but if they are held accountable, what is it you want to see? what realistically do you think is going to happen? well, there's very little that can happen in nicaragua today because the people of nicaragua and myself included, we don't want another revolution. we saw what happened. when you have a revolution, you have another dictator, which is worse than the one you had before. what could happen? well, it will be possible that if they build up a case that daniel ortega and rosario murillo could be brought to an international court of justice. would they recognise the court ofjustice? well, you know what is happening at this moment? they are suing germany and other countries, they are joined on the case against israel. and therefore, they are recognising the validity of the court. they themselves have done something that is really very questionable. one wonders what they're thinking about it, what you were saying previously, that i am calling for all the members of the opposition in nicaragua tojoin forces. we need to act together. we need to be able to form a coalition regardless of where they come, whether they are former sandinistas or former somasistas from the left and from the right. but where is the you know, where is the democratic space in nicaragua? is there any democratic space left and who is going to fill it? there is no democratic space in nicaragua. i mean, daniel ortega and rosario murillo really have abolish and destroy any legal institutions that we have in the country. i mean, it's very difficult. but if you think that way, we will have we will never have a change of regime. i mean, daniel 0rtega has been in powerfor so many years. nicaragua today is a an open jail with the people of nicaragua cannot really even come out in the street with the flag because that would be considered to be a crime and they will be put in jail. there is a persecution of anyone of the church, of poor farmers, campesinos, as we said in nicaragua, all political opponents have been expelled out of the country and stripped of their nationality. there is no one who can really stand up. the few that had been doing that, the last voices in nicaragua have been the church, and they've been put in jail or they have been expelled or they are not allowed inside the country. and now as well, he's going after, the only other religious denomination. no one is safe in nicaragua. the number of watches recorded as lost or stolen has more than tripled over the last 12 months, according to the world's largest watch database. the watch register says a recent surge in criminal activity has driven a more than 230 percent increase in the number of watches registered across its platform. the new figures show that the value of registered stolen and lost luxury watches has risen to 1.9 billion dollars. with me isjulian radcliffe, chairman of the watch register. when i read this, i thought, that is a huge rise, what is going on and why are these watches so hot? the? why are these watches so hot? they are so hot because _ why are these watches so hot? ti31 are so hot because there why are these watches so hot? ti31: are so hot because there has been why are these watches so hot? ti31 are so hot because there has been a waiting list for people buying new watches and therefore the second—hand market grows and people have started buying second—hand watches and that have been going on for about five years. it is about peek now, but second—hand watches are also extremely easy for criminals to move from one country to another. you have it on your wrist and you will never be challenged by customs. what does this tell you _ challenged by customs. what does this tell you about _ challenged by customs. what does this tell you about the _ challenged by customs. what

second—hand stolen watch market is huge, but we are making some real inroads into reducing it as we have done for art and antiques for the last 30 years where it is difficult to sell a good picture that has been stolen, we will be difficult to sell a good watch and we do that by making the whole of the second—hand industry check what they are buying and selling before they do the deal. and so they can do that? they can do that with us and they will be doing it internationally as much as they do in the uk soon. we it internationally as much as they do in the uk soon.— it internationally as

after much speculation, the elusive street artist banksy has confirmed that this mural, which suddenly appeared on the side of a building in finsbury park in north london, is his latest creation. ellie price has the story. it's not that impressive close—up, but it all makes sense when you see it with the tree. when banksy comes to town so does everyone else. a treat for the locals who just happened to be passing. i think it's amazing, honestly. i've always known about banksy�*s artwork and i didn't actually know there was going to be one so close to home so, yeah, really nice to see. i think it's incredible. we were just out on a little morning walk and just happened to stumble across it and i think it's wonderful. i came inside the house and i started calling - the children, "wake up, - something is going on out there." even by this morning the artwork had already attracted international interest. they had heard about it watching telly in the hotel. so we just took the bus, we are living two hours, but we just came here to see it. locals told us that the wall got its makeover in the early hours of yesterday morning and here is another thing they noticed. the green of the leaves is the same colour as islington council's signage. experts reckon banksy�*s message is an obvious environmental one. this is a particularly big thing because of its scale and because of the clarity of the message and the fact that it exists in this built environment in a really clever and smart way. also pleased it exists here is the local mp who came to see it as soon as he heard. already it has put us on the map. finsbury park has got a banksy. the wall clearly needed repainting anyway so banksy is just helping out. banksy kept fans waiting for more than a day before claiming this work. confirmation it is the real deal will only attract more visitors to finsbury park's greenest tree. it has to be said, if you go onto the bbc website a lovely story there from the online team the reaction locally to the banksy mural. a lot of people coming out of their homes there, very happy at the site. earlier i spoke to a banksy expert to give me this assessment on why he thinks

people is like weeds. it must be removed like herbs, but you could also do very beautiful with it. that is something coming back into the work of banksy again and again. there is something terrible and something awful and if you throw colour on it, then it becomes beautiful. that is but a graffiti artist should do. let's bring you some breaking news now on the israel gaza conflict. in the last few minutes the white house has said that it is confirming reports that we brought to you previously that israel has successfully killed the hammers number three. all we know is he is the deputy commander of the military wing in the third topmost official and gaza and reports suggested and have been confirmed by the us that he was killed when he was targeted specifically by an idf strike earlier this week. we know that the idf had said that he was targeted and the strike was successful. we have from the white house in the last few minutes that marwan issa has been killed by israel. we will bring you more on that as and when we get it on bbc news. let's talk a bit about something com pletely completely different. as the world looks to move away from using fossil fuels, deep—sea mining demand is increasing. tens of billions of pounds worth of metals and minerals lying on the ocean sea bed which could be used in renewable technologies. but what impact could mining have on marine life and indeed on coastal communities. here is our claimant editor. november last year — a research vessel chartered by a mining company is assessing the impact of mining on the abyssal plain, the sea bed of the deep ocean. protesters from greenpeace board the vessel, hampering the research, according to the mining company. you might think this is the usual conflict between industry and activists, except that in this case the miners, like the greens, claim to be acting in the best interests of the planet. why? they claim the potato—sized metallic nodules they are after are crucial to the green transition, and that hoovering them up from the sea floor is far less damaging than mining on land. this is what the miners are after. this is a polymetallic nodule. they take millions of years to form and they contain cobalt, nickel, copper, manganese, all metals used in renewable technologies. the problem is getting hold of these destroys the creatures that live among them. for years, it was assumed there was little life in the cold, dark depths of the ocean. it's true — there aren't many animals per square metre, but what scientists are learning is that what is there is far more diverse than was expected. but the abyssal plain is vast. it covers 40% of the entire surface of the earth. land makes up just 29%. mining companies say the area they plan to work is a tiny proportion of the total. i understand why the greens are cautious, but on this occasion, they've got it wrong. and let's go back to first principles. we should be carrying out extractive industries in parts of the planet where there is the least life, not the most life. mr barron says greenpeace's approach is anti—science. time for a look at the weather. hello there. it's felt quite warm out there for many of us today, particularly where we've had the blue skies and the sunshine, but the weather is changing again and changes are happening out to the west because this cloud is coming in from the atlantic. the winds are picking up. we're going to see some rain arriving as well. ahead of that, we've got some mild air. it could make 15 degrees around the moray firth and 16 is quite likely in the south—east of england. we do see that rain coming in, together with stronger winds into northern ireland and we'll see one band of rain pushing eastwards overnight, followed by a second band of rain that's developing. that one could be quite heavy rain with gusty winds, gales likely in the far north of scotland. it will be a pretty mild night out there, milder than it was last night. temperatures no lower than 9 or 10 degrees. those two bands of rain that we start with in england and wales willjust tend to fade away and it will brighten up in many places, leaving just a few showers. a few showers will continue in northern ireland, but the earlier, heavier showers in scotland will move away, sunshine will come out and the winds will ease as well. temperatures still reaching 12 or 13 degrees in scotland and northern ireland, but again peaking at 16 in the south—east of england. we could see a bit of rain developing in the south—west of england by the end of the day. that weather front is going to move back northwards again overnight and into wednesday, taking rain northwards too. some of that rain for a while affecting northern ireland, perhaps some southern and eastern parts of scotland. most of the rain more likely from the south—west into wales, through the midlands and across northern england. scotland and northern ireland turning drier and brighter through the day. across the south—east of england it may stay dry, as well. here it is still quite mild — 16 or 17 degrees — but behind the rain, to the north, things are cooling off a little bit now. we're all going to see some rain over this week ahead, but there may not be too much rain across the north—east of scotland and we're probably going to miss most of the rain in the south—east of england. it's going to be wetter in the west, particularly across western parts of scotland. as we head into thursday, we will see the winds picking up across northern areas and these weather fronts bringing more rain into scotland and northern ireland in particular. as we move into the end of the week and into the weekend, it's staying windy, but the wind direction is changing, eventually coming to the north—west or the north. that will bring colder weather and lots of showers. hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. you're watching the context on bbc news. translation: this is happening | thanks to you, citizens of
