should be the ocean floor? what is your view? it should be the ocean floor? what is our view? . , ., , should be the ocean floor? what is our view? ., . , , ., , your view? it has many dimensions, onl one your view? it has many dimensions, only one of — your view? it has many dimensions, only one of which _ your view? it has many dimensions, only one of which is _ your view? it has many dimensions, only one of which is ecological- only one of which is ecological impact. as a marine biologist that is what i am researching. we are carrying out work to understand what that impact is going to be, but that isn't the answer to the question, should be mine the deep sea or not. in addition to ecological impacts there are social impacts, when you compare mining on sea, there are economic impacts of people chase these resources. what will happen to countries whose economies depend on their land countries whose economies depend on their [and mining resources and so on. there are cultural impacts. there are all these other dimensions to it. as a researcher i am focused on understanding ecological impacts but that is not the answer to the overall question. just but that is not the answer to the overall question.— but that is not the answer to the overall question. just touching on what you've _ overall question. just touching on what you've just _ overall question. just touching on what you've just said _ overall question. just touching on what you've just said that - overall question. just touching on what you've just said that we - overall question. just touching on | what you've just said that we have any sort of idea if this sort of mining happens, the likely impacts? to have any sort of assessment as we are speaking now? to have any sort of assessment as we are speaking now?— are speaking now? yes. we are talkin: are speaking now? yes. we are talking about _ are speaking now? yes. we are talking about an _ are speaking now? yes. we are talking about an area _ are speaking now? yes. we are talking about an area of - are speaking now? yes. we are talking about an area of the - are speaking now? yes. we are i talking about an area of the ocean that stretches from mexico out towards hawaii. there is about 1.5

million square kilometres of sea bed where these nodules occur that these miners are interested in operating. this is an area three times the size of france. we know there are at least 6000 species of animals that live on the sea bed in that area. what we need to do is assess, is a very basic thing, we don't want to drive any species to extinction with new industrial activity. we need to assess how vulnerable those species are going to be as a result of mining activity. it comes down to, i do like dandelions, or other like great crested newt? when we are mining or building on land great crested newt? when we are mining or building on [and we don't worry about what happens to dandelions, they are not at risk of extinction because we know their populations are more widespread than the areas being affected, they are good at dispersing, they can grow in any nook and cranny. some deep sea animals might be like that, like dandelions on land. also a land animals might be like that, like dandelions on land. also a [and we have things like great crested newt is the only live in certain conditions and they are much more

vulnerable and anything that affects their habitat could risk wiping out their habitat could risk wiping out their populations. some deep sea animals in this area might be like that. we have got more than 6000 species there. there are already big area set up where no mining will take place, the same size, about 1.5 million square kilometres, already set aside for many future mining. we need to know whether those reserve areas are in the right place. do they contain the same species? to be as effective as reserves so species are not going to be threatened with any kind of risk of extension? you are writing — any kind of risk of extension? you are writing your— any kind of risk of extension? you are writing your first answer. there are writing your first answer. there are so many questions this throws up. do we know the sorts of quantities we are talking about these metallic nodules? they potentially could be used in renewable technologies. again you see the conflicts here of cost benefit. ~ ., ., . ., benefit. we do, overall, need more of these critical _ benefit. we do, overall, need more of these critical minerals _ benefit. we do, overall, need more of these critical minerals for - benefit. we do, overall, need more of these critical minerals for these l of these critical minerals for these kinds of technologies. there are lots of different metals and lots of

different purposes and things are changing all the time. a few years ago there was a lot of interest for electric vehicle batteries. now manufacturers are moving away from those kinds of batteries and using different materials. we still need the same metals for lots of other purposes, for renewable technology. we need more metal overall for the transition. we also need to get a lot better at recycling the metals that we have got. even if we were really good at recycling now there is not enough metal out there to meet the demand. it has got to come from somewhere. ultimately the question is, whenever we mine anything, we have an impact on the environment. the question is, where do we want to have that impact because my is it on land, where it is also affecting human populations and so on. is it elsewhere? deep sea mining can be more closely monitored. there are big problems with child labour. there are pros and cons on both sides. that is what is at the heart of this debate. 0n the one hand they have the arguments

from the mining companies about the need here. on the other hand you have organisations such as greenpeace who are opposed to deep sea mining and i think need to clarify if they are opposed to it on principle. there are plenty of reasons to be opposed to it that are based on understanding environmental impact. if it will increase the gap between rich and poor it there is a reason to oppose it, but not necessarily interested in outcomes from further research, so it is worth stating that position and making it clear in the debate. really briefly, if you would, who regulates the sea bed? this really briefly, if you would, who regulates the sea bed?- regulates the sea bed? this is takin: regulates the sea bed? this is taking place — regulates the sea bed? this is taking place beyond _ regulates the sea bed? this is taking place beyond the - regulates the sea bed? this is - taking place beyond the boundaries of nationaljurisdiction, out in the middle of the ocean. it is regulated by a body called the international sea bed authority, which has a mandate from the united nations. these metals don't belong to any nation and in fact the united nations defines them as being common heritage of humanity. the idea is, if anyone does exploit them,

benefits should be shared with everybody in some form. but at the same time how do we go about doing thatis same time how do we go about doing that is a big question.— that is a big question. thanks so much, a fascinating _ that is a big question. thanks so much, a fascinating area - that is a big question. thanks so much, a fascinating area and - much, a fascinating area and subject. thank you so much for joining us alive. many children are still missing. here in london a british mp has convened a meeting to discuss the fate of ukrainian children who have been taken to russia. my colleague 0lga malchevska —— who has reported on the topic ——

from the kherson regional children's home in ukraine while it was occupied by russians. later on, as the team found out, there was a bus set up for the children taken out from this kherson regional children's home to russia. that is where the trace was last and it took the efforts of over five months of multiple journeys, the efforts of over five months of multiplejourneys, a huge team led by the director, to find out what happened to them. with the head of the ukrainian ngo he is one of those who conducted the huge efforts, collaborating with ukrainian government and the government of other countries, trying to return those children who got deported to russia. thank you for finding time for us. speaking about the numbers, we have heard about at least 20,000 ukrainian children who were taken to

a human assets, that was the quote he used. are you suggesting there is a mole high up in hamas? what he used. are you suggesting there is a mole high up in hamas?— a mole high up in hamas? what i'm sa in: is, a mole high up in hamas? what i'm saying is. the _ a mole high up in hamas? what i'm saying is, the more _ a mole high up in hamas? what i'm saying is, the more there _ a mole high up in hamas? what i'm saying is, the more there is - saying is, the more there is friction between israeli defence forces as israeli intelligence agencies who are operating, there is agencies who are operating, there is a growing capacity and ability of israel to gather intelligence and so israel to gather intelligence and so i would say that the more israelis on the ground, the more intelligent streaming in, the more israel has the ability to reach hamas leaders hiding underground. in the ability to reach hamas leaders hiding underground.— hiding underground. in terms of hamas hiding underground. in terms of hamas going — hiding underground. in terms of hamas going forward, - hiding underground. in terms of hamas going forward, we - hiding underground. in terms of hamas going forward, we heardj hiding underground. in terms of- hamas going forward, we heard again today from benjamin netanyahu, his objectives, but us intelligence suggests that they think hamas will be able to continue lingering armed resistance for years to come. do you anticipate that that is probably the reality in the years ahead? i anticipate that that is probably the reality in the years ahead?- reality in the years ahead? i don't think that we _ reality in the years ahead? i don't

significant number of palestinians that are in prison but in that regards we have to remember and be aware of the fact that there is a lot of criticism on hamas in the arab world. who says, even if you release palestinian prisoners as it really worth the price that gaza pays and was it worth the fact that you, hamas, are going to end your role in gaza strip? it is a different aspect of this equation. we have to leave it there but thank you so much for talking live to us at bbc news. rishi sunak says he is not interested in westminster politics. it comes after the business secretary admitted a small minority of conservative mps are keen on ousting him. how bad is it for rishi sunak? this is the bbc poll tracker

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 editorial justification. 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 failed to comply with the broadcasting code. in reponse, gb news said that 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 — it says 0fcom deemed the programme to be impartial, but viewers might think otherwise. gb news says it will continue to feature serving politicians hosting programmes — as other 0fcom—regulated services do. stewart purvis, former content regulator for 0fcom, gave us his thoughts on the ruling itself. a bit of a muddle, and i think the reason is that basically

the tradition and interpretation of british media law was that in terms of broadcasting partiality, mps could not present programmes where there were current issues, where there were controversial political issues. then came along gb news, and said, "we are going to push the boundaries and one thing we are going to do is to have mps present programmes." the regulator 0fcom suddenly came up with a new rule which none of us had over heard of before — politicians can't present news, but they can present current affairs — which we all said, well, what exactly is the difference? so, gb news has pushed ahead with these programmes, always presented, i should stress, from the right side of politics, from either a conservative mp or a reform supporter. and now we have come to the crunch of 0fcom looking at some of these broadcasts and saying that looks like news, and gb news saying no, no, that is not news, that is current affairs. as a former content sort of advisorfor 0fcom, do you understand the difference? when they see the difference, do you understand any sort

of difference between politics and discussing current affairs which are often political? i think if it is a discussion on a programme about the political issues of the day, it doesn't matter whether you call that news or current affairs. that falls within the rules. now, basically, 0fcom is trying to define news and trying to define current affairs. honestly, as we sit here, i'm not sure whether this is a news programme or a current affairs programme under their definition. i think they have to go back towards a 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. in terms of coming to any sort ofjudgment, what you make ofjust how long it has taken them? well, i think what is going on at 0fcom is kind of rethink of how did we get here? because it was never clear in the law, a number of places has reported today, including the bbc, that there is a law saying the difference between news and current affairs. not true, it doesn't say that in the law. it's an interpretation,

a very recent interpretation. now, after much speculation, the elusive street artist banksy has confirmed a mural which suddenly appeared on the side of a building in finsbury park in north london, is his latest creation. ellie price went there for us. so to be completely honest, it doesn't look that impressive close up. you've got obviously the green paint and you've got the kind of quintessential banksy stencil. but the whole point about this artwork is it needs to be seen within the context of the tree, and we think it's probably a comment on the environment. now, banksy had us all waiting for over 24 hours. we understand that this went up on the early hours of sunday morning. he didn't confirm it till about lunchtime on monday, that it was indeed a banksy. and it's certainly drawn in the crowds here. we've been here for several hours and seen hundreds of people coming by, people passing by and stopping to have a look. but people are also hearing about it. and coming up here to have a look. now, the big question whenever there is a banksy is what happens to it next? and the most recent banksy

there was here in london featured a sign which was a comment about war. now, that was up for about a couple of hours before it was taken down by possibly an overexuberant fan. i suspect the same won't happen here because it is a 30 foot wall and indeed a large tree. but certainly, as i say, it's drawing in the crowds here today. coming up here at five o'clock we will have the latest on the russian elections. the white housejust saying in the last little while they were incredibly undemocratic. the latest on that story. the latest in terms of uk politics, pressure on rishi sunak. he has dismissed any sort of speculation about a new plot to oust him. we will get the latest on that story and we will also have the latest on that oceans story, mining the sea bed. all of that is coming up in the next little while. that is after the weather. it is felt quite warm out there for many others, particularly where we have

had the blue skies and sunshine. the weather is changing again and changes are happening out to the west. this cloud is coming in from the atlantic. the winds are picking up. we are going to see rain arriving as well. ahead of that we have 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, that rain coming in, together with strongerwinds, into that rain coming in, together with stronger winds, into northern ireland. then we will see one band of rain pushing eastwards over night, followed by a second hand of rain that is developing and that one could be quite heavy rain with gusty winds, gail is likely in the far north of scotland. it will be a pretty mild night out there, milder than last night. temperatures no lower than nine or 10 degrees. those two bands of rain that we start with in england and wales willjust tend to fade away. it will brighten up in many places, leaving just a few showers. a few showers will continue in northern ireland. the earlier heavy showers in scotland will move away. sunshine will come out and the winds will ease as well. temperature still reaching 12 or 13 degrees and

in scotland and northern ireland, but 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 north was 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, but most of the rain more likely from the south west into wales, into 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 calling off a little bit. we are going to see some rain over this week ahead but it may not be too much across the north—east of scotland, and we will probably miss most of the rain in the south—east of england. it will 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 picking up across northern areas and these weatherfronts bringing more rain into scotland and northern

ireland in particular. as we move into the end of the week and into the weekend, it is staying windy. the wind direction is changing, eventually coming to the north—west or north, and that will bring colder weather and lots of showers. live from london, this is bbc news. celebrations in moscow as vladimir putin is reelected in a poll the americans havejust putin is reelected in a poll the americans have just called incredibly undemocratic. israel raids gaza's al shifa hospital, saying hamas is hiding there. hamas says the raid violates international law. meanwhile, the un says gaza is on the brink of famine — its chief says there is still time
