about their reporter evan gershkovich, who has now been detained in russia for over 300 days. a very good evening. for the first time in nearly two years, it looks like northern ireland will have a devolved government and an assembly up and running by the end of next week. last night, there was a long meeting of the dup executive, the unionist party that collapsed power sharing in february 2022 in protest at the post brexit trading rules and checks which they said undermined northern ireland s place within the united kingdom. they now believe they have the assurances they need from westminster to return to government with the nationalists, sinn fein. our ireland correspondent sara girvin has this report. across northern ireland today, people woke up to news of a political breakthrough that s been nearly two years in the making. the lack of a functioning executive for so long has caused many issues for the lives of people here. public sector workers were out on strike earlier
to a withdrawal of israeli forces and an end to the war in gaza. that is the framework of talks ongoing. but right now it bears no reality to the situation on the ground. palestinians in gaza have been sheltering from intense bombing and shooting today in the city of khan younis. 190 people have been killed in the last 2a hours. that s according to the hamas run health ministry. in the last hour, we have been hearing from one of the families of those still held hostage in gaza, who are urging prime minister neta nyahu to negotiate. i asked for his reaction to this report of a proposed two month pause in the fighting. hopefully. it s news to me although i ve heard of the few offers or deals today, but i ve heard at the last few weeks also. so all this ongoing, all the feet dragging, it s horrible for us. it s just every single day is another day that my father and his friend are nearing their end, and we feel like we don t have this time to check exactly what the negotiation w
we ve now got to realise that this is a problem that requires grip. the two men are also expected to discuss the situation in afghanistan after the two countries withdrew troops. and what about a trade deal? borisjohnson has been pretty downbeat about the chances of that happening quickly. he told reporters that american negotiators were pretty ruthless and that he would rather get a deal that works for the uk than get a quick deal. borisjohnson is meeting several world leaders this week, but this meeting will certainly be the most closely watched. helen catt, bbc news. the ministry of defence has apologised for a data breach which may have compromised the safety of dozens of afghan interpreters who worked for british forces. more than 250 people seeking relocation to the uk many of whom are in hiding were mistakenly copied into an emailfrom the mod, in which their names and some profile pictures were visible.

how will the government help them? the government is relying on the existing process whereby customers, as you rightly said, from struggling suppliers are transferred to more stable suppliers, known as a supplier of last resort, but the problem is that process is less appealing for the bigger energy companies because, of the energy price cap, they have to spend more to supply those customers that they will get in their bills, so the government is looking at ways to make up that gap. this morning business secretary kwasi kwarteng was adamant that the gap will not be made up with grants, hand outs or bailouts. the option that seems to be the government s preferred option is those companies go for commercial loans from their banks but the government might help with a guarantee.
