this is the world today from bbc news, the headlines. a passenger bus plunge of a ravine in south africa killing at least 45 people. a court in new yorkjails the former billionaire crypto boss — sam bankman freed for 25 years. unions say there's been a significant rise in violence and abuse in schools towards teachers, since covid. and — why we're all being urged — to clean out our drawers and stop hoarding old tech. a teaching union in england says its members have reported a sharp rise in levels of violence and abuse from pupils since the pandemic. nearly one in five teachers who responded to a survey commissioned by the bbc said they had been hit by a student this year. the same number said they'd also experienced verbal or online abuse from a parent

or guardian since september. here's more from education correspondent, elaine dunkley. across the country, clips posted on social media give an insight into the chaos in classrooms. the room got absolutely ransacked. the boards were ripped off the wall, displays were snapped and broken. you're going to get people shouting at you. when it comes to teenagers and what they're saying, quite sexualised. teachers pushed to the brink because of bad behaviour. the behaviour stresses me out. all my fillings fall out because i clench my teeth at night when i'm sleeping. in dewsbury, this is stjohn fisher academy. it's a school with a bad reputation. rated inadequate and described by ofsted as unsafe for teachers and pupils. children were being suspended as early as 9:15 in the morning. there was a culture of bullying. there was frequent fighting — like,

multiple fights on a daily basis. head teacher mr mackeyjoined the school a year ago. and, with the support of staff, small changes have made a significant difference to behaviour. this year, you'll see them in lessons every single day. it's hanging out. oh, sorry. it's ok. how are you doing? are you having a nice day? yeah. good. sorry, sir. that's quite all right. corridors are locked down in lesson time to stop students wandering off. mobile phones are banned and the toilets can only be used at certain times. we had a lot of internal truancy. children were going into cubicles. i'm pretty sure they were vaping in there. we were spending, at times, thousands of pounds per week on damage. you'd be scared to walk into, like, certain corners or places in the back of a classroom or places in the playground. there's loads of staff in the playground now, making sure everyone's 0k. teaching unions say disruption and disobedience has got worse since the pandemic, and it's causing many teachers to leave the profession.

teachers here tell me an increasing number of children struggling to get support for special educational needs, difficult home lives and a lack of services for mental health are all part of the problem. i think it's really important that we identify what their needs are and look at how we can adapt what we do as a school to meet those needs to ultimately make them as successful as they possibly can be. attendance and behaviour are two of the biggest challenges for schools. in response, the government says it's invested £10 million into behaviour hubs, where schools offer mentoring support to those which are struggling. your shirt's hanging out. elaine dunkley, bbc news. let's speak to baz ramaiah who is head of policy at the centre for education. you've spent nearly all your professional career working in education. what do you make of these findings? it’s education. what do you make of these findinus? �*, . ., ., findings? it's clear from the survey

the war in a way that no film maker could. the resulting bbc documentary "ukraine: enemy in the woods" aired last week. but there were other stories gathered over the course of three months — and newsnight s international correspondent, joe inwood has been given access to that previously unreleased footage. this is his report. it is a dangerous journey to the eastern front. using the cover of darkness. ukrainian engineers of the 28th mechanized brigade are on a mission to clear mines and build roads. the russian positions, by the way. this summer it was russian position, so our guys had to assault like this on open field. all of that we recaptured. four kilometres of six kilometers. you must have lost a lot of guys. yes. but we gain the high ground.

the biggest danger here is the drones. the thing is that russians start to produce drones on the factories and we're doing it with the help of volunteers. this is different. it's like, you know, an amateur cooperative of people against the whole manufacturing. they're getting ready for a long war. they're rebuilding their economy for a long war. they're ready to fight to the last russian. and they know that they will never finish. you know, they can conscript everybody. they could. we cannot afford that. this is the problem. we need to fight with quality against the quantity. but right now, it's almost impossible to do. as you can hear, this is a firefight. we're not far from the law. these trenches are in the eastern donbas region where the fighting has been fiercest. keep your head down.

this previously unseen footage was gathered on helmet mounted cameras as part of a major bbc documentary project. the true number of dead in this war is not known, but the team witnessed the cost. russians are shooting us. two weeks ago, constantine here on the left was killed by a grenade in this exact spot. the footage shows us the war in the east from the perspective of soldiers who are fighting and dying every day. joe inwood, bbc news. still to come on the world today — are you guilty of hoarding your unused tech at home?

it appears that many of us are holding onto unused cables and vehicles eight videos. holding onto unused cables and vehicles eight videos. on the off chance that we might need him again. and we look at based on the real life homeless football world cup — which aims to tackle homelessness through football. around the world and across the uk. this is the world today on bbc news.

are you guilty of hoarding your unused tech at home? it appears that many of us are holding onto unused cables and electrical items like old phones and tv remotes, on the off—chance we might need them again. a report from the united nations warns that we're generating electronic waste almost five times faster than we're recycling it. let's speak to mark stuckey, the bbc repair shop programme's electronics specialist. good to speak to you, mark. talk to

me about electronics. the problem i have, i look at something that i may have, i look at something that i may have been hoarding and i think, it's probably going to take me more to repair them to buy a cheap replacement.— repair them to buy a cheap replacement. repair them to buy a cheap relacement. ., �* ., , replacement. you're actually right. that's one of _ replacement. you're actually right. that's one of the _ replacement. you're actually right. that's one of the biggest _ replacement. you're actually right. that's one of the biggest problemsj that's one of the biggest problems we suffer in the moment at the world, notjust this country. in the past items cost more against what your wage was. because of that items were looked at the better, they were repaired because the cost was low. today because we're in a throwaway society, purely the fact that we can buy cheaper than repair is causing this big issue. something that has got to be addressed because we cannot keep going this way. putting things into landfill, one thing we can bring a lot of these things back into use. it is better for the environment, the planet because we're recycling. the government is

trying to press that people have got to do but they've not really been successful to get that concept over properly. 0bviously, successful to get that concept over properly. obviously, the repair shops i've seen a variation of that. they've got older types of equipment but still nonetheless the concept is the same. if things had not failed and put away safely the result would have been they would've ended up being totally destroyed. partially it sounds ridiculous at the moment, things which of being thrown away today to some degree will be our social history for tomorrow. we need to preserve some things. what social history for tomorrow. we need to preserve some things. what items would ou to preserve some things. what items would you keep _ to preserve some things. what items would you keep in — to preserve some things. what items would you keep in repair— to preserve some things. what items would you keep in repair and - to preserve some things. what items would you keep in repair and what. would you keep in repair and what would you keep in repair and what would you keep in repair and what would you more likely throwaway? we saw a minute ago pictures of old mobile phones from the early 90s, the very late 90s. would you repair in old mobile phone like that and if not what would you do with the? iunlith not what would you do with the? with the mobile not what would you do with the? tn the mobile phones are is a bit more difficult because the technology constantly has been updated. in old mobile phone probably will not work

on a later network for that what it can do, rather than destroying it you can actually which is been done successfully is strip out all the raw materials which are still in it from gold, platinum and etc. you are recycling math. the plastic can be melted. in reality you probably say 65-70% melted. in reality you probably say 65—70% could be reused for later technology. cables, cable can be stripped again for use again because the copper and the metal contained in it. but other technologies like telephones, not telephones, radios and televisions can be recycled. evenif and televisions can be recycled. even if it's not in this country there could be made to work again. sent over to somewhere, maybe a third world country where they could not perhaps afford that to give them the benefit of a hand—me—down. what we used to do in own country, even given to our relatives.— given to our relatives. really good to talk to you. _

and in eight—year—old survived the crash. in eight—year—old girl. we also understand that somebody was airlifted to a nearby hospital but unfortunately, she did not survive the accident. we're not sure what caused the accident. we note the bus was travelling from botswana to an area where it is a church gathering that happens every single year for easter where thousands gather. the bus had a trailer. it seems as though it was struggling to turn with the bend of the road and then hit the bay area and subsequently drove over the bay area down a 50 metre bridge. we note the bus caught fire and most of the people inside the bus are believed to have perished. the bus are believed to have perished-— the bus are believed to have erished. ~ �* , ., , . ., perished. we're seeing a picture now ofthe

fire to be down. for them to start retrieving the bodies. it's also believed to be more mothers and children that are on this bus. we're seeinu children that are on this bus. we're seeing pictures. — children that are on this bus. we're seeing pictures, the _ children that are on this bus. we're seeing pictures, the bridge, - children that are on this bus. we're seeing pictures, the bridge, that i seeing pictures, the bridge, that ravine looks really, really high. we're hearing not only from you but also authorities that an eight—year—old child survive. do we know how this child survived? preliminary reports suggest that she did not fall when the bus hit the barrier and then crashed into this very bushy, rocky area. it's believed that she actually was outside of the bus on the actual bridge and that's how she survived. how she got out, when she got out, was the bus hanging over the bay area before it plunged it caught fire, we're not exactly sure.

paramedics found her on the actual bridge. she was engaging with somebody else who was on the bridge for that we do believe that that individual unfortunately passed away. we understand she is very calm most of all she wanted, she kept asking for her aunt, which has also been on that particular bus. we will t and been on that particular bus. we will try and bring _ been on that particular bus. we will try and bring you — been on that particular bus. we will try and bring you as _ been on that particular bus. we will try and bring you as much _ been on that particular bus. we will try and bring you as much on - been on that particular bus. we will try and bring you as much on that i try and bring you as much on that story as we can hear on bbc news throughout the evening. something a bit different... something a bit different... for any footballer, playing for your country can be life changing. and that's especially true for those involved in the homeless world cup. the tournament, in south korea this september, involves 70 countries, with players who've all at one time or another, had to sleep on the streets. a film inspired by the tournament, starring the actor bill nighy, has just been released, as yasmin rufo reports. that's him. he's the one i told you about. the beautiful game, a film

about the homeless world cup — a global tournament for players who've all experienced living rough, starring bill nighy. come on bleep! ..and here he is with the real england team, offering a few words of gentle encouragement. the film is about something i didn't know anything about, which is called the homeless world cup and i. you're allowed to laugh. i play the england coach. you're about to represent your country, so. ..officially supplied by the fa itself, so when you put on this shirt, you're putting on the history of the beautiful game. the thing that makes the homeless world cup so effective is that you can. you know, young men, for instance, and young women will be attracted because it's about football. people like courtney. well done, courtney! let's go. ..who's had more than his fair share of ups and downs. playing football, coming here, i forget about everything in life. i just want to have fun.

don't really think about stuff, so what i could say is it's helped and it's helped to try to avoid all the homelessness because i'm out here keeping fit. so, if i'm out here doing something, i'm not at home doing stuff that i'm not meant to be doing. if you enjoy football, come have a kickabout and they'll put a smile on your face, that's all i can really say about that. and courtney is just one of the 500 people that is hoping to go to south korea in september to participate in the homeless world cup. and this was also a moment for bill to meet the real england manager, frankie, whose job as coach is about more than just tactics and training. it's not just always about football. we deliver, like, 30% of football. we do, like, 70% of off—pitch support because some of them, they need to access education, access to different services. we represent england and we would like to bring the trophy, bring it home. the beautiful game, a celebration of how football really can change lives.

look at that, boys. look at all these cameras. yasmin rufo, bbc news. a major new museum is opening in scotland this weekend. its centrepiece will be the historic stone of destiny that is still used in every coronation — including king charles. it's been returned to perth for the first time in more than 700 years. our culture editor, katie razzall reports from the new perth museum. perth, scotland's ancient capital. in the former city wall, which at one point faced demolition, a new museum is putting this region at the centre of scotland's story. the lead curator took me into see the star attraction. this is to give people an understanding of what they are about to see. it is an immersive way into the stone of destiny, still a potent symbol of scottish nationhood. and what is the relevance

of the block of stone today? this is a live ceremonial objects. for future coronations, it will be transported down to westminster and placed back in edward the first�*s coronation chair, it is still a relevant cultural symbol. it is part of the regalia, part of the crown jewels of scotland. this is where it all happened, where scottish monarchs were crowned on the stone of scorn. this is a replica, but it is one of the most important historical sites in scotland. macbeth was made king here in 1040. too centuries later, edward the first seized the stone of scone and to it to england. westminster abbey lost one of its most precious relics. i contested over the centuries, in 1950, former students took the ancient symbol back to scotland in an audacious raid. the stone went back

to westminster abbey a year later, and officially returned to edinburgh in 1996. but it hasn't been seen in perth for more than 700 years. given its disputed history, it is held securely under these local sixth formers got a preview. i think it brings us all together as a nation and it makes me feel happy that it is close to home. i think it is where it should be. history itself needs to be reinforced in our generation, to understand where their culture comes from. other highlights in perth museum include a bronze age log boat, a coronation cake from 1953, the biggest ever british rod caught salmon. a lot of people will tell you that the city centre is not what it is like to be, but £27 million has been spent on a building in the centre of our city, and if this is one more thing that brings people into perth, that would be brilliant. advanced tickets to see the stone

of scone booked out in 20 minutes, which bodes well for the city. italy's prime in lebanon to meet her counterpart for that he was waiting on the counter during that but there was a bit of a faux pas. mr mccarty taught, he was meeting george maloney. instead he was greeting her personal assistant with the kids on each cheek. he apparently thought the italian pm was her. he was quickly told that that wasn't georgia maloney. take a look at this with that this is the real georgia maloney. looks like he was second time lucky and the faux pas was glossed over as it often is in these diplomatic situations. if you're celebrating easter you might be giving yourfamily or friends and easter egg. there was much easter chair on offer at the zoo in chile as some of the animals enjoyed easter eggs of their own the

lemurs even had an easter egg hunt for before tucking into the specially prepared egg for the no chocolate and volunteer, don't worry for the meat, cereal and peanuts, a lemurs dream for the other animals also enjoyed their easter treats too. and because we can't get enough of chocolate a french chocolatier has released a special chocolate collection celebrating the 2024 olympic games for that which this year are being held in paris. the easter collection is hotly awaited by parisians every year. this years collection features a time trial running race egg for the rabbit edgar, the hurdler and a chocolate carrot. and of course a chocolate podium. first, second, last, gold, silverand podium. first, second, last, gold, silver and bronze. that is it. thank you so much for watching. the context is next. stay here with us on bbc news.

hello there. good evening. plenty of wet and very windy weather around today with some squally showers pushing northwards, longer spells of rain, some of the rain falling as snow to low levels and settling for a while in northern ireland. all of the showers just swirling around this deep area of low pressure out towards the west and it'll stay windy, really rather showery overnight tonight. so still some wet weather to come, but we'll see the skies clear for a while across parts of wales and the midlands, maybe through the small hours and some clear skies developing across northern ireland as well. the ground pretty saturated here. expect to see some mist and fog develop and we'll see some icy stretches, perhaps with temperatures dipping really quite close to freezing. it's mildest underneath the cloud in the south east of england. as we head through a good friday then there will be some rain, i think to start the day off in northwest scotland and the western isles, that will clear away and plenty of sunshine to start the day, but not too long before we see the showers get going again. some of the showers

heavy and thundery. there could be some hail in the mix, but generally fewer showers, more sunshine than we've seen today. still windy for england and wales, but it's warmer 11 to 14 degrees celsius with the south—westerly wind pushing us that milder feeling air. now the low pushes further westwards as we head through saturday. so the winds will lighten. there's another low, though, just spinning off the near continent that could bring increased amounts of cloud across parts of east anglia and south—east england. there's a lot of dry weather around on saturday, plenty of sunshine, too. but again, watch out for some showers there. most likely to develop further north and west you are temperatures will be above the seasonal average, 11 to 15 degrees celsius and it's more of the same again on sunday. i think we should see a largely dry start to the day with plenty of sunshine around not too long before there'll be some showers and again, the most likely out towards the west, perhaps pushing into northern england, but perhaps largely dry across scotland and towards the south and the east. again, temperatures above the seasonal average. now, as we go into bank holiday monday, low pressure remains out towards the west of the uk, but there's another low just spinning off the near continent once

again that could bring some more significant rainfall and then that is likely to track further northward. so some more reliable rainfall i think for bank holiday monday. and as we head into next week, it turns a bit cooler again and stays unsettled. bye— bye.
