News of these expulsions . Mat news of these expulsions . Not surprised. News of these expulsions . Not surprised, not news of these expulsions . Iirrt surprised, not really shocked. Sad on the bed. My understanding is from Whitehall Sources is that the expulsions actually took place last month and had more to do with a tit for Tat Retaliation between the uk and russia that has been going on for quite a long time. However, the timing of the announcement has everything to do with sir Keir Starmer s meetings in Washington Today and the apparently looming decision about allowing ukrainians to use british Storm Shadow missiles against actual russian territory as opposed to territory that russia has seized. So it is part of a coordinated russian Media Effort to discourage the uk from taking this step, but i think more importantly to try to discourage other allies from following the us lead or supporting it. And it is part of a very long running Action And Reaction cycle between russia and western countries ever since russia stepped up its invasion of ukraine in february 2022. It works some of the time. Russian threats have clearly been deterring for nato countries to a certain degree. The west has proceeded cautiously as has russia towards nato. But the russians have a real problem, they dont know how to stop greater western support for ukraine. Obviously you served as a Uk Ambassador to nato and we have heard from Vladimir Putin saying that if that approval goes ahead and that ukraine can use western missiles inside russia that that would effectively mean that nato is fighting directly with russia. His actual words were nato countries would be fighting with russia and he is quite careful in his statement to say exactly how he will respond. He will respond according to the level of threat. In a sense, yes, russias red lines have repeatedly been trust and i am pretty confident that this one will be as well. But at the same time, russia has been casting around for ways to respond that make it painful for the west without being to escalate three. Richard moore, the head of mi6, was talking very recently about rising russian Sabotage Operations across europe for example or they might be more russian cyber attacks, certainly more disinformation and attempts of political influencing. There is quite a long list of what you might call horizontal escalation into whether domains that russia is pursuing and could step up. Its Notjust Military Vertical escalation that we might see.

Germany and kenya have agreed on a Migration Treaty that is set to be signed later today during president William Rutos Visit to berlin. The treaty aims to provide jobs for skilled workers from kenya in germany, particularly in the health sector. Itll also contain measures to make it easier to send kenyans who are in germany illegally, back home. This comes weeks after the german government said it could process some Asylum Seekers Applications in rwanda a measure similar to what was proposed by the former british government. For more on that, lets speak now to hans von der burchard, germany senior Politics Reporter at politico. I would like to ask you about the treaty that is going to be signed and the idea that canyons could be placed in Health Care jobs for example in germany. Tell us how this has come about . Germany. Tell us how this has come about . This deal comes of course i made come about . This deal comes of course i made a come about . This deal comes of course i made a very come about . This deal comes of course i made a very peculiar. Course i made a very peculiar situation in germany. You mentioned that germany is tightening its checks on this island seekers because numbers have been very high and we had two weeks ago this horrific Terrorist Attack in the Western German city of solingen. The political atmosphere is quite tense at the moment and we have elections in about a week and made all of this the government is keen to show it is acting on migration, especially regular migration, especially regular migration because germany needs migration because germany needs migration and what this particular deal is for, you mentioned health workers, they are much needed with an ageing population in germany as in other european countries. And there is this aspect of returning irregular migrants or Asylum Seekers that have no right to stay in germany. However, that is a small portion, that is about 200 and 8800 Asylum Seekers that might be returned. So this deal is a first step to act but it puts pressure on the government to do more to curb regular migration. Do more to curb regular miaration. ~. ,. Migration. What is the public mood when migration. What is the public mood when it migration. What is the public mood when it comes migration. What is the public mood when it comes to migration. What is the public mood when it comes to the L Mood when it comes to the german Government Policy around immigration . Immigration . There is a broad sense that immigration . There is a broad sense that the immigration . There is a broad sense that the government. Immigration . There is a broad | sense that the government has not done enough in recent years and we are seeing this with the strong rise of the far right party, that has one recent elections in the east of germany and has come second in another state. Germany and has come second in anotherstate. It germany and has come second in another state. It is complicating the building of government coalitions in those two states. It is also very strong in this election in about one week right next to berlin, the state where all of schultz is. So this is all bringing the government to a very difficult situation. Germans feel that not enough has been done and the Centre Right Opposition and the former chancellor is really pushing the government but demanding stronger action. Now the government is acting with this Migration Deal which is one part of it and there is going to be another one signed with uzbekistan on sunday, but thatis with uzbekistan on sunday, but that is not a country where the migrants are coming from. So now they are talking about stronger measures on Border Controls have already been prevented but stronger measures to send Asylum Seekers back. Tell me about the tightening of the border is because we had some reaction including from the polish prime minister, seen Germanys Decision to tighten control On Land Borders was unacceptable. Control On Land Borders was unacceptable. There is a lot of confusion unacceptable. There is a lot of confusion in unacceptable. There is a lot of confusion in europe unacceptable. There is a lot of confusion in europe now unacceptable. There is a lot of confusion in europe now with L Confusion in europe now with germanys neighbours. Some of them are very concerned, like poland, but these measures. Others which are not neighbours but are in the south for Example Bulgaria and Greece And Italy are not particularly amused about the new german governments town, saying we need to send Asylum Seekers back to the country where they first applied for asylum. In many cases its those first rival countries like bulgaria and italy. They are saying we cannot cope with the strong influx of migrants of germany wants to send them back and its problematic for them. The mood in germany is really that too many of the Asylum Seekers are coming to germany so now he has to be some high level negotiations going on between the chancellor and other European Leaders about where those Asylum Seekers are going to the bottom line of course is that the European Union are shutting down on migration and they want to do more on its external borders to stem the influx of migrants. External borders to stem the influx of migrants. Thank you very much influx of migrants. Thank you very much for influx of migrants. Thank you very much for Taking Influx of migrants. Thank you very much for taking us influx of migrants. Thank you i very much for taking us through all the angles on that story. The first so called Citizens Jury on assisted dying in england has backed a change in the law to allow people who are terminally ill to end their life. The jury of 30 people spent eight weeks listening to Expert Evidence and campaigners and concluded it should only be an option for those who are terminally ill and have the capacity to make their own decisions. Fergus walsh has the details. Away from the placards and the protests, the Citizens Jury was intended to produce a measured response to this highly sensitive issue. Jury members were selected to be representative of the makeup and the views of the population, which meant most were already in favour of assisted dying at the start. By three to one, the jury voted in favour of the law being changed to allow assisted dying for those with a terminal condition who have the capacity to make their own decisions. The lethal drug could be self administered or given by a health professional. Ashok was part of the jury and says they were given time to explore the issue in depth. It was an amazing experience and it was nerve racking. It was sensitive. It was like a mixed emotion to be part of this actually, because it is a very sensitive topic to be deliberated. Ourjury members wanted terminally ill people not to suffer and prolong the agony, and to have the option to choose to die in their own country rather than going abroad to die. A minority ofjurors were concerned that assisted dying could be misused without adequate safeguards. There was near universal support for more funding for palliative care. We know that policymakers want to have more evidence about what the public think. They want to understand the richness, the detail of peoples views and understand where, for example, people want to see safeguards and other considerations around, for example, palliative care. Opinion polls have consistently shown overwhelming public support for assisted dying in the uk. The prime minister, sir Keir Starmer, has said hes committed to giving mps a free vote on the issue at some point. Private members bills have already been introduced at westminster and at the scottish parliament, holyrood. The Isle Of Man and jersey, which pass their own laws, are already on track to introduce assisted dying. But throughout the british isles, the impassioned debate on this key issue will continue. Fergus walsh, Bbc News. Around the world and across the uk, this is Bbc News. Now, the term time has started for many children Around The World, but in gaza, getting education has become a much difficult, if not impossible, mission for many because of the ongoing war. The United Nations estimate that more than 600,000 students are being deprived of access to formal education for another year. The Un Relief And Works Agency says no official schooling is available in any of its 200 schools, with many serving as shelters for displaced palestinians. With me now is somaya ouazzani, Co Chair of the charity children not numbers. We talk about the challenges of children face in gaza on some different fronts but one of the things we dont explore perhaps in enough detail is the impact on education. What does your organisation do when it comes to trying to support children who dont have a classroom to go to . Pat who dont have a classroom to no to . . , go to . At the moment its been virtually impossible go to . At the moment its been virtually impossible to go to . At the moment its been virtually impossible to feed virtually impossible to feed them and make sure they are hydrated unsafe and getting medical treatment. So actually education has had to take a back seat. That is something thatis back seat. That is something that is not desirable. There are 625,000 children that are not starting school this year. 45,000 of not starting school this year. 16,000 of those starting first grade. There is no way of being able to give them safely to an educational setting. Able to give them safely to an educationalsetting. No able to give them safely to an educational setting. No way of setting up an educational setting. 85 of the schools in gaza have been rendered completely unusable. They will need significant amount of rebuilding if not complete rebuilding if not complete rebuilding from scratch. It is a problem we are looking at for years to come. A problem we are looking at for years to come a problem we are looking at for years to come. What shortterm solutions can years to come. What shortterm solutions can organisations solutions can organisations like yours try to offer . Everybody is scrambling around. All of the Aid Agencies on the ground are scrambling around. We are trying to strategise ways of being able to get some sort of Education Provision but its incredibly hard. When you think about the fact you cant even get formula to dying babies, you cant get basic medical aid to children that have been severely injured as a result of a bomb blast. Where do you even begin with education . The Education Staff have been targeted and i am not even talking about universities, i am talking about basic educational standards. But it critically needed because apart from anything else its one way to help meet their emotional and mental needs. Its notjust about actually basic learning, it so much more than that in gaza. I it so much more than that in gaza.. it so much more than that in gaza... gaza. I was reading about the organisation gaza. I was reading about the organisation you gaza. I was reading about the organisation you run gaza. I was reading about the organisation you run the gaza. I was reading about the organisation you run the work your colleagues out in gaza do and a hugely difficult circumstances and one thing that struck me as you also say you provide support for orphans. There must be thousands of children in gaza who have lost their parents since the conflict began. At since the conflict began. At the since the conflict began. Git the moment the figures are around 18,000 but that is completely at this stage expected to be a conservative estimate. As part of our Orphan Support Programme one of the things we want to do is to be able to offer an education because of the questions we are asked by children and their caregivers is when can we go Back To School. Its not even when will i get my next meal. Its when can i go Back To School because as with every child the world over it is such an important provision. If you compare the international outrage during the pandemic when children were not able to go to school, people were horrified of that. This is something that has happened for over a year and its likely to happen for many years to come. Thank you very much for sharing your teams work with us. Researchers say theyve solved the mystery of the origins of the seismic signal that shook the earth for nine days last september. They have pinned it down to a massive landslide which caused a tsunami in a remote fjord in greenland. The risk of these arctic landslides is increasing because of Climate Change, according to scientists as Victoria Gill reports. A land continuously carved and moulded by vast glaciers. But in one fjord in the east of greenland, a seismic event has transformed the landscape here forever. Were seeing here a simulation of how this seismic signal travelled Around The World. When we run this, well start to see this wave. This animation shows the signal that baffled scientists for nine days in september of last year. The dots are seismic monitors Around The World, picking up vibrations from something happening in greenland. At the same time that scientists were puzzling over that, a Team Working in greenland received a report of a large tsunami in the east of the country. These photographs show what caused it a huge landslide into this fjord. Look at the Mountain Top in this image. Taken before the event. And look at it afterwards the top of The Mountain is gone, collapsed into the fjord, taking part of the glacier with it. The scientists analysed the Depth And Shape of this narrow, 200km long fjord, and that revealed why the tsunami the landslide caused reverberated Around The World for so long. The wave was essentially trapped. The energy of that wave just cant escape, so that wave has tojust keep bouncing back and forth, sloshing back and forth in the fjord. Itjust cant go anywhere. Never before has such a long duration large Scale Movement of water over nine days, in this case been observed. Remote as it is, this is a location that Cruise Ships do visit fortunately, no vessels were in the area when the landslide happened but scientists say the risk of these events is increasing with Climate Change. This glacier was holding up The Mountain. Over decades, it melted and thinned, and eventually millions of cubic metres of rock simply collapsed. Its a destructive Side Effect of Climate Change that was felt Around The World. Victoria gill, Bbc News.
