and we believe ultimately it should be the people of scotland to decide who leads our country, not a handful of snp members. world numberfour elena rybakina this is an attempt by humza yousaf to shift the focus onto policy, is also into the third round after beating lucia bronzetti. to show competence in government, david gilbert is the first man through to the quarterfinals of but he is now fighting for his political life, the world snooker championship. after a 13—4 victory on multiple fronts, and it is not over robert milkins. it was a tough day for milkins at all clear that he will survive. who showed his frustrations by throwing his cue to the floor, after missing a red. in office for barely one year, he found himself 12—4 behind but for how much longer? going into the final session. the answer to that may come and gilbert wrapped up victory as early as next week. to book his spot in the last eight — lorna gordon, bbc news, dundee. where he will face either around the world and across shaun murphy or stephen maguire. the uk, this is bbc news. and that's all the sport for now. to the middle east now — and sabreen al sakani was a newborn baby who became a symbol of life and survival amid all the death and destruction in gaza. she was rescued from her dying mother's womb after in israeli airstrike on the family home. israel says it was targetting hamas. pictures were broadcast around the world of the chaotic scenes last sunday when doctors used a hand pump to push air into sabreen�*s lungs, and get her onto an incubator.
8:35 pm
today, news that the baby has died. she's been buried alongside her mother, father, and three—year—old sister. our special correspondent fergal keane reports. in this fragile form, a tiny pulse of hope. baby sabreen was the last survivor... ..of a family obliterated by an israeli airstrike. her pregnant mum was pulled from here. but minutes later, in hospital, two of the most valuable items ever doctors were able to rescue sabreen recovered from the titanic are coming up for auction tomorrow. from her dying mother's womb. they're a violin case belonging to the man who led the orchestra they tapped to stimulate on deck as the ship sank in 1912, her breathing. air was pumped into her lungs. and a gold watch worn by one of the richest men in the world. then to an incubator, duncan kennedy reports. it was supposed to be the defining fighting for life.
8:36 pm
standard of nautical opulence. notice the gentleness of the doctor, the titanic — totemic of a new era as he cradles her head. relatives watched over the newborn. of human achievement. but on the night of april 14th 1912, the ship hit an iceberg paternal grandmother ahalam planned in the north atlantic and sank. to take care of the orphaned baby. more than 1,500 people died. translation: iwill raise her in the best way. - 00:06:24,637 --> 4294966103:13:29,429 she's the memory of her dad. now, two of the most valuable personal items ever recovered from the disaster are coming to auction — a bag and a watch belonging to two people whose stories have become fables from that fateful night. the james cameron movie titanic... hey, astor! depicts both men. well, hello, molly. jothacob astor, the wealthiest man on board and one of the richest in the world, and wallace hartley, the violin player who bravely led the orchestra to calm passengers' nerves as the vessel floundered, each man central to the film's narrative of bravery and loss.
8:37 pm
in real life, both hartley and astor died that night, their bodies and their possessions recovered in the aftermath. you've got the bag and the watch? correct. andrew aldridge, a world expert on the titanic, says hartley possibly tried to use his violin case and its straps as a flotation device, but it came to nothing, whilst jj astor's 14—carat gold pocket watch was discovered amongst his personal effects in the days after the tragedy. why is there this continuing public obsession and interest in all things to do with the titanic? i honestly think it's to do with the people. she transcends so many different levels. we're fascinated in her because of who was on board. you could argue that titanic is the most famous ship that's ever sailed, apart from the ark. so what might they fetch at the auction? well, the estimated price on the bag is £120,000.
8:38 pm
and for the watch, it's £150,000, and just shows the continued interest areas in all things titanic. wallace hartley's violin itself was sold separately in 2013 for £1 million. it's now on display at the titanic museum in belfast. tomorrow's auction, streamed live, will attract bidders from around the world, ready to spend as they save these unique items from a ship enshrined in maritime folklore. duncan kennedy, bbc news. let's speak to karl bennett, managing director of bloomfield auctions. a deputy with us. —— good to have you. how important are these two items? , , ., , . .,

8:44 pm
with us. thank you. we've talked a lot about the uk government's bid to cut illegal migration by deporting illegal arrivals to rwanda. but today, a new warning from ireland's deputy prime minister that it's sparked an influx of migrant arrivals into ireland. micheal martin says the policy is already "impacting on ireland" because people were "fearful" of staying in the uk. more than 140,000 immigrants arrived in ireland in the year up to april last year — that's a 16—year high. for more on this i'm joined by steve smith — ceo at the refugee charity care for calais. thank you for being with us. did you get a sense of the people that you worked there that they know anything about ireland or want to make the journey there? i about ireland or want to make the journey there?— about ireland or want to make the journey there? i don't think people know too much _ journey there? i don't think people know too much about _ journey there? i don't think people know too much about the - journey there? i don't think people | know too much about the deterrent effect until they come to the united kingdom. the people that i speak to,
8:45 pm
the asylum—seekers really do not know much about this policy at all, if anything so when they get here, i think the deterrent effect is are we going to go to rwanda, if so, let us do something else but haven't seen for some time as this is going to drive people underground and the other way of doing this is for them to head across the coast of ireland and i am sure that is what is happening. although the evidence right now is pretty weak, i'm sure. that big influx and jumped at arrivals of 40,000 immigrants arriving in ireland, 16 year high and deputy prime minister who said what they're probably doing is catching the land border with the republic but if the windsor framework brexit treaty, desired open borders there and getting to this morning. as you've touched on, none of this truly addresses the

8:48 pm
deterred by 0.7% chance of being sent rwanda? i don't think so it's sent rwanda? i don't think so its popular the answer is quite obvious. talking about the people smugglers in the games, we do not support this is a charity in any way, shape or form but whenever something becomes illegal in people really want to do it, and it entices the gangsters to come out. in the 19205, everyone wanted to drink alcohol and what happened to al capone and his buddies and he started making money out of it. that is exactly what is happening now. what we need a safe, legal regulated groups that can come into a regulated system with an offshore visa that allows some of their claim processed efficiently. and let's visa, 75% of those claims are approved in any case and countries, the numbers are in the late 905 and if you're coming from there it's 99% acceptance. and what

8:50 pm
now, during this evening and overnight, we got outbreaks of rain moving into southern england, perhaps reaching the far south of wales. a few showers for northern scotland, but otherwise the day showers will melt away. clear skies for scotland, northern ireland and northern england will allow another widespread and sharp frost. in the south, it's frost free because we've got that cloud and rain moving in. and this weekend we are going to see this area of low pressure move up from spain, bringing with it some quite heavy rain for a time. now, on saturday, we'll get some rain pushing into southern england early in the morning, reaching across parts of wales into the midlands and east anglia. as that moves in, there'll be a chilly northeasterly wind, perhaps a few heavy showers into southern england into the afternoon. for northern ireland, northern england and scotland, after a cold and frosty start, there'll be some sunshine, but showers will be around into the afternoon and it's going to be another chilly day — temperatures 10—13 degrees. for sunday, our area of low pressure moves in from spain, bringing rain across quite large areas of england, working into east and scotland. west is best.
8:51 pm
that's where we'll see the driest weather. not completely dry, though. it will be a day of sunshine and showers out west — temperatures 10—13 degrees. so it's another chilly day. but this is the last of the chilly day5. as we head into next week, we're going to see temperatures ri5e as much milder air get5 pulled in from europe. but with low pressures around about the uk, it's not exactly going to be a dry forecast. on monday, we start to see some of that milder air arrive on these southerly wind5. outbreaks of rain, though, pretty extensive, probably the wettest weather for northern ireland, probably south western parts of england and wales seeing rain, eastern areas this time seeing the driest weather. but these temperatures are rising and climbing back to average for this time of the year, and that warming trend continues into next week. in the warmest spot5, we could see temperatures reach the high teen5 or even low 205, but there will be some showers or outbreaks of rain around as well. bye for now.

hello, i'm ben thompson. you're watching the context on bbc news. for china, if it wants to have better relations, not only with us but with countries in europe, it can't do that while at the same time helping to fuel the biggest threat to european security since the end of the cold war. beijing has not supplied moscow with any arms since the start of russia's invasion in ukraine, however, the us believes that china is supplying moscow with components
