hello, welcome to bbc news now, three hours of fast—moving news, interviews and reaction. we start with a new row over fossils fuels and renewable energy. downing street has confirmed that hundreds of new licenses will be granted to drill for oil and gas in the north sea. the prime minister says the move is vital to bolster energy security. rishi sunak has also announced significant funding for two new carbon capture and storage projects, including the first in scotland. campaigners have sharply criticised the new drilling licenses — saying they demonstrate a "short—sighted and selfish" approach to climate change. let's take a look at what carbon capture and storage actually are. burning fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal to generate electricity emits carbon dioxide, which is the main driver of climate change. carbon capture plants are designed

to stop that co2 from being released into the atmosphere, either by re—using it, or storing it underground. take this gas—fired power station, for example. as the natural gas is burned to generate power, the carbon dioxide is separated out from it. it's then diverted via another pipeline and stored underground. if the acorn project it is given the go—ahead, waste c02 will be piped from central scotland here to st fergus using old pipelines. refineries at mossmoran and grangemouth, as well as a new power station at peterhead, have already signed up. and experts and policy makers say the technology is vital to meeting net zero climate targets. bbc scotland reporter ben philip is in aberdeenshire — where the "acorn" carbon capture and storage project is based. hejoins us now. just take us through exactly what has been announced today for that

area. ~ ~ , �* has been announced today for that area. ~ . , �* , ., area. well, lucy, we've been hearing from the premise _ area. well, lucy, we've been hearing from the premise of— area. well, lucy, we've been hearing from the premise of this _ area. well, lucy, we've been hearing from the premise of this morning - area. well, lucy, we've been hearing from the premise of this morning as| from the premise of this morning as he sets out his plans for the energy sector. as you say, he has announced the issuing of around 100 new north sea oil and gas drilling licences. as well as millions of pounds in funding for the acorn carbon capture and storage project at the saint fergus gas terminal here in aberdeenshire. it is a project that has long been discussed and been underdeveloped for many years now. it is designed to use existing infrastructure and pipelines to essentially pump carbon dioxide and other harmful greenhouse gas emissions from the source, and pump it from various sites around scotland out around one mile underneath the north sea. this will be scotland's first such sea cs facility, it missed out on uk government funding back in 2021 in

favour of two similar projects in northern england. but today, it has been given the green light with the expected timeframe to be operational by about 2030 and the prime minister says it is going to create thousands of newjobs says it is going to create thousands of new jobs as says it is going to create thousands of newjobs as well. says it is going to create thousands of new jobs as well.— says it is going to create thousands of new jobs as well. of new “obs as well. there has been a of new jobs as well. there has been a ranue of new jobs as well. there has been a ranae of of new jobs as well. there has been a range of responses _ of new jobs as well. there has been a range of responses to _ of new jobs as well. there has been a range of responses to these - a range of responses to these announcements from rishi sunak. just take us through the reaction locally. take us through the reaction locall . ~ .,, ,, take us through the reaction locall . ~ ., locally. well, as you can imagine, there has been _ locally. well, as you can imagine, there has been a _ locally. well, as you can imagine, there has been a very _ locally. well, as you can imagine, there has been a very mixed - locally. well, as you can imagine, - there has been a very mixed response due today's announcement. scotland's first minister has just put something out in the last hour or so, he said that the acorn project is critical to scotland's plans to achieving net to zero by 2045, head of the rest of the uk's 2050 ambition. so he said the funding is welcome in respect to that project are there. but he said for the prime minister to effectively signal unlimited oil and gas extraction

demonstrates the uk government isn't serious about tackling the climate emergency. 0f serious about tackling the climate emergency. of course, what we have been hearing so much about over the years. the scottish greens who are in coalition with the snp here in scotland say that new oil and gas licences is an utterly reckless decision, showing a disregard for the environment and future generations. we've been hearing from a climate and environmental groups as well, and the crime group friends of the earth scotland says that public money should not be invested in these types of projects, what it describes as unproven technology. and instead be spent on solutions for the climate that we already know works, such as public transport. it rishi sunak was asked about these new oil and gas licences today and he said that when the uk reaches net zero, we will still be needing oil and gas to meet our energy needs. and it is better to get it here than

rely on other countries.— and it is better to get it here than rely on other countries. thank you so much for— rely on other countries. thank you so much forjoining _ rely on other countries. thank you so much forjoining us. _ rely on other countries. thank you so much forjoining us. lots- rely on other countries. thank you so much forjoining us. lots of- so much forjoining us. lots of people have got questions about what has been announced today, including those questions around the net zero and the targets of getting internet zero. but also about the process of how carbon capture actually works. coming a p on bbc news in about 25 minutes's time we are going to be putting some of your questions to some experts and hopefully we will get you some answers on all of those many questions you have around the announcements today. and your various questions on carbon capture, carbon emissions, renewable energy, lots are coming in and we will be answering them for you. a british man who killed his seriously ill wife at their home in cyprus has been released from custody. a court in paphos sentenced david hunter to two years in prison, but took into account time he had already spent in custody. the 76—year—old was previously cleared of murder after suffocating 74—year—old janice hunter in december 2021. mr hunter and his lawyer have been speaking outside court.

just to say thank you to all the people who have donated to me, especially my workmates. i don't know where i would be without them. how are you feeling? i hope i am feeling the same as my family, when i'm talking about that, i'm talking about all my family, when you work with your colleagues, they are a family. thank you very much. i am happy to take questions if you have any questions about the proceedings. in comparison to the uk, if david had been on trial in the uk, - this would have been very different, what are your thoughts on that? - the law in the uk is different to the law here in cyprus. of course, there is a defence when there is a suicide pact to murder, but we think the decision the court has come to, both in finding him not guilty of murder, which is very important because he would have spent the rest of his life in prison here in cyprus, was the right decision. we think the decision on sentence was the right decision today. which of course allows david to walk out of court. so, we are very pleased with the decision the court has made in this case and it follows everything we have been

saying all along about the circumstances behind this case. it is obviously a very tragic case and not an easy case for anyone involved to deal with. but we think the right decision has been made. david hunter and his lawyer speaking on the steps of the courthouse. now, many times we've reported on the plight of uyghur muslims in china — with hundreds of thousands subjected to mass incarceration — in the north west of the country. now researchers say the chinese authorities are pressuring uyghurs living abroad to spy on human rights campaigners by threatening their families back home. refugees and activisits say the tactic is tearing communities apart. 0ne refugee living in the uk has been speaking to bbc newsnight�*s sam judah — about his experience. a demonstration outside the foreign office with a dark twist. these uyghurs want the government to speak up about human rights abuses in china.

but someone has been asked to infiltrate their ranks, gather intelligence and send details to the chinese authorities. we're calling him alim and concealing his identity. he's a refugee living in the uk. it was an audio call through wechat. when they called me, i recorded it with my other phone. alim has shared recordings of those calls. we've adapted a few to mask key details. we paid a visit to your family in xinjiang. my colleague collected their details. if you want to see them, i can set up a video call. yes, please arrange that. i just want to talk to them and find out how they are. i won't ask about anything else. 0k. no problem. i'll arrange that for you. alim was granted a very unusual video call with his mother. the officer connected them by holding two mobile phones facing each other. he used one phone to connect with my mother, and then he used another phone to contact me, allowing me to see my mother

through his screen. when i saw my mother, i couldn't contain my emotions. it had been six to 7 years since i last saw her, and it was an incredibly heart—wrenching moment. there was a price to pay. the officer wanted something in return. we've heard that the uyghur activists are planning to meet next month. we want you to attend and find out what they say, especially the leaders. we know who they are. they took my family hostage, putting me through this ordeal. even though i may appear fine on the outside. 0n the inside, i'm suffering. a report published this year says two thirds of the 400 uyghurs living in the uk have been approached directly by chinese police and asked to inform on their peers, cease advocacy work, or stop speaking to the media. this is about the way the chinese government harasses and threatens uyghur people abroad and tries

to control their daily activities and their friendships. most face threats and harassment from police and government officials, but all experience family separation. uyghurs outside china offer a line to the international community. they can speak for those still in xinjiang, telling the world about its internment camps, where the un says more than a million people have been detained in the last few years. alim refused to cooperate. and we understand that the vast majority of requests made by chinese police are rejected by those in the uyghur community. we approached the chinese government for their comments, but they did not reply. and we can talk

to sam judah shortly. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. theresa may's former chief of staff has been elected as the conservative candidate for the former health secretary mount hancock's seating west suffolk. mr hancock is currently an independent mp for the constituency, after being thrown out of the conservatives for appearing on i'm a celebrity. he's stepping down at the election. rail passengers are facing more disruption this week because of a ban on overtime by train drivers. aslef union members at 15 train companies in england are refusing to work extra hours from today until saturday. they're involved in a long—running dispute over their pay offer, which train companies say is fair and reasonable. 0nline marketplace etsy has come under fire from sellers for putting 75% of their takings on hold for 45 days. hundreds of small businesses recently got an email from etsy notifying them

it was actioning its reserve system. etsy said payment reserves were used to "keep the marketplace safe" and cover any potential refunds. you're live with bbc news. security officials in north—west pakistan say they believe islamic state militants were responsible for sunday's suicide bombing which killed at least 45 people at a political rally. more than 100 people were injured in the explosion in the north—west bajaur district, near the border with afghanistan. it happened at an event organised by one of the country's largest islamic political groups, jui—f — which is part of the government coalition. no group has acknowledged carrying out the attack and authorities have warned the death toll may rise further. live now to islamabad with our reporter farhat javed. firstly, on the matter of who is responsible for this, what is

leading the authorities to say it is the islamicjihad? figs leading the authorities to say it is the islamicjihad?— leading the authorities to say it is the islamicjihad? the islamic 'ihad? as you mentioned earlier, the islamicjihad? as you mentioned earlier. none — the islamicjihad? as you mentioned earlier, none of— the islamicjihad? as you mentioned earlier, none of the _ the islamicjihad? as you mentioned earlier, none of the groups, - the islamicjihad? as you mentioned earlier, none of the groups, usually| earlier, none of the groups, usually the groups that are active in pakistan, including the pakistani taliban group and several other groups, none of them have claimed the responsibility for this attack as they usually do for other attacks. so this is also one reason that the pakistani authorities are claiming that there is a chance that an affiliate of the so—called ies in this region might be involved in this region might be involved in this attack and planning this attack and executing this attack. so far, even they have not claimed response ability for this one. the other reason that authorities do claim this is that the political party which has been attacked is an islamist party which has very close ties with the taliban group, the

pakistani taliban. they are very well connected. these are the two main reasons that the ttp might not be involved in this attack and it might be ies kp. also recently, there was a report by the united nations as well in which it was mentioned that this group is strengthening itself and this is what pakistan has also been conveying. this group is also gaining more strength after the taliban took control of the government and that is of the reason they have increased their attacks inside pakistan. these are all different reasons that the authorities here believe that this was probably carried out by ies kp. still, there is no confirmation on these claims, even if these authorities are making peace. at authorities are making peace. at least 45 people killed. we are hearing better that number may rise. what is the latest on those that have been injured and what could potentially happen with that death toll? , ., ., , ., .,

toll? yes. there are many among those who — toll? yes. there are many among those who are — toll? yes. there are many among those who are injured. _ toll? yes. there are many among those who are injured. they - toll? yes. there are many among those who are injured. they are l toll? yes. there are many among| those who are injured. they are in critical conditions. some of them were shifted from helicopters to peshawar city where there are better health facilities. they are being treated but we have been speaking to security officials and the health officials in the health ministry who say that their condition is quite critical. initially the number was 39, but six other people were added to this number. these were the ones that were critically injured and admitted into hospitals. so the authorities do fear that this number may rise. 0n the other hand, information report has been registered with the police and they have completed their forensic analysis as well. if we can speak of the basra district where this incident took place, the business community there have announced that they are shutting down and they are protesting demanding that the government do not only complete

their inquiry but also make sure that the people are safe, especially at a time when at the election is approaching and i will be more political activity across the country. it political activity across the count . , , ., ., ., ., country. it must be a huge amount of concern now— country. it must be a huge amount of concern now as _ country. it must be a huge amount of concern now as the _ country. it must be a huge amount of concern now as the elections - concern now as the elections approach. thank you very much for joining us from islamabad. let's bring you more now on our top story. its bait to be in scotland. this will speed is on our way to net zero with carbon capture and storage. when it comes to our energy security, we are still going to need oil and gas. 25% of our energy will come from oil and gas even in 2050. far better that we get that from here at home, better for the economy, for our security, better for jobs and economy, for our security, better forjobs and better for climate

emissions rather than shipping it here from halfway around the country. that is why we have got more north sea oil and gas licences being announced. but we are also speeding on our security, betterfor jobs and better for climate emissions rather than shipping it here from halfway around the country. that is why we have got more north sea oil and gas licences being announced. but we are also speeding and i would have to net zero with carbon capture and storage. two new clusters announced today here the jobs and opportunities that it will create. how do you square those two things that? in announcing these new licences, and you just extending the fossil fuel industry and backing your net zero budget of the same time? it your net zero budget of the same time? , . , your net zero budget of the same time? , ., , ., your net zero budget of the same time? , . , ,., . ., time? it is really important for eve one time? it is really important for everyone to — time? it is really important for everyone to recognise - time? it is really important for everyone to recognise that - time? it is really important for. everyone to recognise that even time? it is really important for - everyone to recognise that even in 2050 when we are at net zero, it is forecast that around a quarter of our energy needs will still come from oil and gas. that is why technology like carbon capture and storage is important. but what is important is that we get that oil and gas in the best possible way. that means getting it from here at home, betterfor our that means getting it from here at home, better for our energy security, not reliant on foreign dictators, betterforjobs, for

example 100,000 supported here in scotland, but also betterfor the climate, because if we are going to need it, far better to have it here at home rather than shipping it here from halfway around the world with two or three to four times the amount of carbon emissions versus the oil and gas that we have here at home. it is entirely consistent with our plans to get to net zero. carbon ca ture our plans to get to net zero. carbon capture plans _ our plans to get to net zero. carbon capture plans like _ our plans to get to net zero. carbon capture plans like these _ our plans to get to net zero. carbon capture plans like these they - our plans to get to net zero. carbon capture plans like these they will. capture plans like these they will be doing no more near enough to offset the scale of emissions if you appraise or approve of rosebank. can you approve set confined to be to be going ahead with it? licences decisions are made in the normal way that i would say that it is entirely consistent in transferring to net zero. we are auoin to transferring to net zero. we are going to need — transferring to net zero. we are going to need it _ transferring to net zero. we are going to need it for— transferring to net zero. we are going to need it for decades, i transferring to net zero. we are j going to need it for decades, so transferring to net zero. we are l going to need it for decades, so it is far betterfor our going to need it for decades, so it is far better for our economy, for jobs, far better that we get it from here than shipping it from halfway around the world. carbon capture and storage is a fantastic new technology that will help us transition to net zero. it means we can take carbon from industrial processes and then sequestrated

within the ground. we are very lucky in britain that we are poised to lead the world in this new technology and industry because of our expertise. the skills of the incredible people working here. the infrastructure that you see behind me, the pipelines going out and then the north sea, whether geology is perfect for sequestering and storing this cabin. everyone should be a excited about the prospect of is leading the world in transitioning to net zero and strengthening our energy security. that is the right balance and that is what i'm delivering a spry minister. many --eole delivering a spry minister. many people see _ delivering a spry minister. many people see in — delivering a spry minister. many people see in this _ delivering a spry minister. many people see in this area - delivering a spry minister. many people see in this area that - delivering a spry minister. many people see in this area that we i delivering a spry minister. many people see in this area that we have beenin people see in this area that we have been in this area before? can you confirm with this announcement today that the scheme he had sent fergus will actually be operational and will actually be operational and will go ahead? it is will actually be operational and will go ahead?— will go ahead? it is incredibly excitina will go ahead? it is incredibly exciting news _ will go ahead? it is incredibly exciting news for _ will go ahead? it is incredibly exciting news for the - will go ahead? it is incredibly exciting news for the aircon l will go ahead? it is incredibly - exciting news for the aircon cluster here in aberdeenshire. as well as the clusters we have around the uk. this is businesses and industry coming together and are now being able to talk to government formally about how they plan to deliver carbon capture and storage. so that collectively, we can strengthen our energy security but also transition to net zero, but importantly, lead

to net zero, but importantly, lead to the world in this new technology. and then scotland is well placed to do that. that is why i am excited to be here making this announcement. i have been talking to people here who are involved and they are incredibly optimistic about what the future holds. i'm delighted to be backing them. mr; holds. i'm delighted to be backing them. y ., , holds. i'm delighted to be backing them. g ., , ., holds. i'm delighted to be backing them. g , ., , ., ., them. my last question. is it all of this softening _ them. my last question. is it all of this softening on _ them. my last question. is it all of this softening on green _ them. my last question. is it all of this softening on green policy - them. my last question. is it all of this softening on green policy is i this softening on green policy is not a bit of a kneejerk reaction to keeping uxbridge because of the ultra low emission zone? aren't you worried about alienating the many voters who want you to take strong action on climate change, especially in the blue wall?— in the blue wall? when i was prime minister, i — in the blue wall? when i was prime minister, i became _ in the blue wall? when i was prime minister, i became prime _ in the blue wall? when i was prime minister, i became prime minister, j in the blue wall? when i was prime l minister, i became prime minister, i set up a brand—new department for energy security and a net zero. i think both of those things are important. of course i am committed to net zero, but i am also committed to net zero, but i am also committed to our energy security and we will get to 80 in a proportionate and pragmatic way that doesn't unnecessarily burden families with cost or hassle that they don't really need in their lives right now. i am really proud of the uk's track record. we have decarbonise faster than any country in the g7

good to see you, in your mind, what is the most effective measure to protect people from smoke? what is the most effective measure to protect people from smoke? what we have learned. — protect people from smoke? what we have learned, and _ protect people from smoke? what we have learned, and what _ protect people from smoke? what we have learned, and what i _ protect people from smoke? what we have learned, and what i think - protect people from smoke? what we have learned, and what i think the - have learned, and what i think the who report shows is that it is never about one measure, it is about doing things collectively. the thing is that of the who recommended include taxing tobacco, which we know is a very effective way of reducing consumption, controlling the promotion of tobacco, something we have done very effectively here in the uk, and then also measures to protect people from second—hand smoke and reduce the availability of tobacco through things like age of sail and other restrictions. so bringing these things together gives you the best chance of reducing smoking in your country. haifa smoking in your country. how concerned — smoking in your country. how concerned are _ smoking in your country. how concerned are you _ smoking in your country. how concerned are you and - smoking in your country. how concerned are you and the charity on the amount of young people who are vaping? i the amount of young people who are vain ? ., , the amount of young people who are vain? ., , ., , vaping? i think it is really important _ vaping? i think it is really important to _ vaping? i think it is really important to distinguish i vaping? i think it is really - important to distinguish between vaping and smoking. vaping is much less harmful than smoking and it has been a really valuable aid to

helping people stop smoking, particularly here in the uk. we are worried that there has been an increase in the number of people under 18 who are vaping and we want to see the government introduce further regulations to limit that, but to the same time, it is really important that these products stay on the market and are every bit as available, if not more available, then tobacco. because they are a really effective way of helping adults to stop smoking. we must remember that smoking is incredibly damaging to health, at least one into lifetime smokers will die from smoking related instances. they scrap vaping provides a way out for many. scrap vaping provides a way out for man . ., y ., , scrap vaping provides a way out for man. . , ._ many. have you seen any significant chances in many. have you seen any significant changes in the _ many. have you seen any significant changes in the industry _ many. have you seen any significant changes in the industry itself? - changes in the industry itself? because they say they want to be part of cutting down and ending people smoking, but they are also part of promoting smoking with massive campaigns are still under way? it massive campaigns are still under wa ? ., , massive campaigns are still under wa ? . , , , , ., massive campaigns are still under wa ? . , , , ., way? it really depends where you are in the world- — way? it really depends where you are in the world. here _ way? it really depends where you are in the world. here in _ way? it really depends where you are in the world. here in the _ way? it really depends where you are in the world. here in the uk, - way? it really depends where you are in the world. here in the uk, they - in the world. here in the uk, they talk the big talk about wanting to be part of the smoke—free future but if you are in many of the lower and

on bbc news, plenty more to come, particularly ourfocus on bbc news, plenty more to come, particularly our focus today on rishi sunak who has unveiled these new plans to expand the oil and gas drilling of the north sea. it has been a hugely controversial measure. we are going to be talking more about that coming up. do stay with us. hello again. for many of us, today is going to be cloudy, breezy, with some showery outbreaks of rain. we had some heavy rain pushing northwards and eastwards through the course of this morning and actually, this week we are looking at spells of wind and rain and it will be rather cool. particularly from thursday when the wind changes to a northerly. what is happening today is we have this area of low pressure with its weather fronts wrapped around it. this one is going northwards and eastwards and the other one across the english channel will pep up through the course of the afternoon, bringing some heavier rain. in between these two areas,

there will be some showers around, but equally, there will be some dry weather and we should see some glimpses of sunshine. temperatures will be from 16 to 21 degrees north to south. for the cricket this afternoon, it is looking like we will get a fair bit of play around. there will be variable amounts of cloud with a little bit of sunshine, but we can't totally rule out a shower. as we head into the evening and overnight the rain continues to advance across scotland, there will be showers across northern ireland and england and wales. but a lot of dry weather and some clear skies. and the breezy conditions from earlier in the day will be tending to lighten. temperatures 11 to about 14 as we sweep down towards the south. so that leads us into tuesday daytime. we are in between these two areas of low pressure, so it is essentially going to be a day of sunshine and showers. areas of cloud before this next area of low pressure comes in a bit later in the day.

we start with some cloud around, still a few showers, lighter winds, drier conditions than today and some sunshine. you can see through the afternoon the clouds gathering ahead of the rain coming in across the isles of scilly and cornwall. temperatures will be 15 in the north to about 22 celsius in the south, depending on the amount of sunshine that we do see. so then, as we move from wednesday into thursday, that area of low pressure pulls away. the wind changes direction behind it to more of a northerly, which is a cooler direction for us, and that will certainly have an impact on the temperatures. so on wednesday, we have the heavy rain, particularly across england and wales. it will be windy and temperatures will be nothing to write home about. sunshine and showers on thursday.

this is bbc news. the headlines. the uk government confirms hundreds of new licences will be granted to drill for oil and gas — in the north sea. new research says china is pressuring uyghurs living abroad to spy on human rights campaigners — by threatening their families back home. more now on new allegations that china is pressuring uyghurs living abroad to spy on human rights campaigners — by threatening their families back home.

refugees and activists say it's a tactic that's tearing communities apart. and we can talk to sam judah now. very serious allegations, what have the chinese embassy had to say? we have heard from them and they say these allegations are totally groundless and they protect communication between uyghurs overseas and in china in full accordance with the law. that is the response from them, tell us about your investigation and how you went about it? sadly this is a familiar story. we don't have to dig too deep to find people in similar situations. we spoke to uyghurs in the uk, norway and turkey, they detailed identical experiences. what is less usual in

the case of the gentleman we heard
