three women have appeared in court accused of terror offences after allegedly displaying images showing support for hamas at a pro—palestinian protest in london. the three women — all from south london — face trial for wearing images of paragliders in support of hamas, which is designated as a terror group by the uk government. live now to westminster magistrates�* court, and we can speak to the bbc�*s louisa pilbeam. tell me more about what has been heard in court.— tell me more about what has been heard in court. matthew, the three women are — heard in court. matthew, the three women are accused _ heard in court. matthew, the three women are accused of— heard in court. matthew, the three women are accused of attending i heard in court. matthew, the three women are accused of attending a| women are accused of attending a protest in london one month ago, where they displayed all wore images of paragliders in which the offence comes about because allegedly this shows they were supporting hamas. hamas in the uk are a band organisation, designated a terror organisation. where paragliders come in in terms of a terror offence is because they were used in the attack

by hamas on israel on the 7th of october. prosecuting at westminster 0ctober. prosecuting at westminster magistrates�* court today, they said there is a clear and unique association between a paraglider and hamas, especially at a palestinian protest and in the context of a unique and successful tactic. the women arejointly unique and successful tactic. the women are jointly charged with carrying or displaying an article, namely an image displaying a paraglider, in a way as to arouse reasonable suspicion that she is a supporter of a proscribed organisation. that is the official charge. thejudge granted organisation. that is the official charge. the judge granted the women unconditional bail, and he said they would be able to attend any protest in the future in the interim between now and the trial. he said it is because it is the human right in the uk to attend protests. he said it is incredibly important. but he did

warn the women that if they get arrested again at a protest, then they would be in peril because they would be able to be detained in custody by police. this investigation came about by the metropolitan police terrorism command. they say they would not hesitate to arrest and charge anyone suspected of committing offences that encourage hate and are harmful to communities. just to let you know, this kind of terror offence has a maximum sentence of six months in prison and a £5,000 fine.— in prison and a £5,000 fine. louisa, thank yom — in prison and a £5,000 fine. louisa, thank yom just _ in prison and a £5,000 fine. louisa, thank you. just staying _ in prison and a £5,000 fine. louisa, thank you. just staying with - in prison and a £5,000 fine. louisa, thank you. just staying with the - thank you. just staying with the events in the middle east. the idf releasing comments about what is happening on the ground. i was talking about the area around hospitals that has been the focus of the last day. let me tell you what

the last day. let me tell you what the idf have said, they do not fire on hospitals. if we see hamas firing on hospitals. if we see hamas firing on hospitals, we will do what we need to do. we are aware of the sensitivity if we see hamas terrorists, we will kill them. we are aware they are operating within the hospitals and i�*m looking at what he is considering in his operational decisions. we will do it with full awareness of the sensitivities of these hospitals. we aren�*t dropping bombs on the hospital yet. when asked what the plan was to deal with patients in the hospital with people who can�*t walk, with broken bones, he said their plan was, we are saying to hamas to move people south in the window. those are the latest comment specifically about what is happening around those hospitals within gaza, coming from the idf. more on that

situation in a little while. let�*s turn to what we�*ve heard in london. a high courtjudge in london has ruled that prince harry can continue his legal action against associated newspapers — that�*s the media organisation that includes titles such as the daily mail. the prince has accused the company of unlawful information gathering. lawyers for the newspapers had argued he and other high—profile people, including sir eltonjohn and baroness lawrence of clarendon, had run out of time to bring the privacy claims.prince harry has been involved in five other legal battles at the high court in recent months, including cases brought against mirror group newspapers, which publishes the mirror, and the murdoch—owned news group newspapers, publisher of the sun and the now—defunct news of the world. tom symonds reports. prince harry is leading this legal battle from the front. he was in court in february for pre—trial arguments, along with eltonjohn and his husband, david furnish,

and baroness lawrence, mother of stephen, murdered. a group, along with the former mp sir simon hughes, who claim associated newspapers commissioned bugging of cars and homes, listening to phone calls, paying police officials and obtaining medical and financial records. but there is a six—year time limit for privacy claims. these allegations go back decades. the newspapers wanted the judge to throw them out, but the law also says if the defendant, associated newspapers, conceals relevant facts the limit doesn�*t apply. 12 years ago at the leveson public inquiry, the daily mail editor, paul dacre, was asked repeatedly about unlawful activities, including phone—hacking. i can be as confident as any editor, having made extensive inquiries into his newspaper�*s practices and held an inquiry that phone—hacking was not practised by the mail on sunday or the daily mail. prince harry and the others say these statements were not true. thejudge, mrjustice nicklin,

said that the seven claimants have a real prospect of proving that associated newspapers concealed its activities in the past, preventing them from taking legal action. the seven do still have to prove that, but they will now get the chance to do so in a trial at court, probably next year. associated newspapers�* response... when the leveson inquiry questioned the daily mail�*s editor, it had also been given confidential newspaper receipts for payments to private investigators — crucial evidence now for prince harry and the others. but the judgment today says those receipts should remain confidential. it is really ironic that the daily mail, which is a newspaper which has often called for transparency from organisations and people

in all other walks of life, have gone so far to try and restrict the information that is accessible to the claimants in this case. no direct response yet from the duke of sussex to the judgment today. it is now likely he will be back in front of the judge next year. tom symonds, bbc news. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. some have only got a little bit. i learned that you have to make all sides of your teeth, make sure they're clean. callum�*s one of the children here at whitleigh community primary school who�*s been campaigning for better access to an nhs dentist. it all started after a school—wide survey found nearly 50% of pupils here weren�*t registered with a dentist. so i thought we should try to make that happen. and it's worked. i'm really happy that it's worked. so everyone in our school

is having a dentist now. and it has worked. the students are now celebrating the news the university of plymouth�*s peninsula dental school has stepped in to offer appointments. the children, to take the decision to campaign about something like oral health, which normally is something that they wouldn�*t think about, i think, is amazing. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you�*re live with bbc news. negotiations over the fate of hostages in gaza have been going on for weeks. area i spoke to a man who sister was killed and brother—in—law and their children had been abducted. he told me how he had been coping. it is abducted. he told me how he had been coinu. , . , .,~ abducted. he told me how he had been co-uin. , ., , , , coping. it is heartbreaking, because i lost m coping. it is heartbreaking, because i lost my sister— coping. it is heartbreaking, because i lost my sister and _

said, there are shooting, i can�*t talk, she hung up on me. then i lost contact with herfor the talk, she hung up on me. then i lost contact with her for the rest of the day, and in the evening i spoke to her. i spoke to him and he said someone saw them dragged out of the burning house. we had the assumption they were kidnapped. the wednesday, ten days after, they pulled out of 120 bodies, some were burnt, beheaded, serious atrocities. babies that cannot be identified because they don�*t have teeth and are burnt to the bone. 0n the friday i got a phone call that my sister�*s body was identified as part of these bodies. made arrangement to travel to israel for the funeral. we decided not to

bury her immediately because we weren�*t sure about the fate of the rest of the family, her husband and two other children. so we waited and then we got confirmation they are probably held captive or hostages in gaza, we decided to conduct a funeralfor my sister. gaza, we decided to conduct a funeral for my sister. so, gaza, we decided to conduct a funeralfor my sister. so, you know, really very sad. she had one son who was 18 he was not with them and is left alone in the world, until maybe his father and two siblings are returned safely to israel. it is returned safely to israel. it is excruciating _ returned safely to israel. it is excruciating listening - returned safely to israel. it is excruciating listening to that story. my commiserations to you and the wider family. you story. my commiserations to you and the widerfamily. you obviously story. my commiserations to you and the wider family. you obviously have to maintain hope for your brother—in—law and the two children, but you also have to grieve for your sister. i mean, can you do both

things at once? we sister. i mean, can you do both things at once?— sister. i mean, can you do both things at once? we have no choice. it is not things at once? we have no choice. it is not an — things at once? we have no choice. it is not an easy _ things at once? we have no choice. it is not an easy thing _ things at once? we have no choice. it is not an easy thing to _ things at once? we have no choice. it is not an easy thing to do, - things at once? we have no choice. it is not an easy thing to do, but i l it is not an easy thing to do, but i cannot bring my sister back. you know, god rest her soul. so, you know, god rest her soul. so, you know, this is something that is done, it is painful when you think about it. i try to stay positive and hopeful for the rest of the family, for my brother—in—law and one nephew and niece. and hopefully they will be released by hamas, something which i really don�*t expect, but maybe through this military option they will be able to rescue them. i they will be able to rescue them. i will come back to what is happening in terms of tactics on the ground, but there were media reports this week benjamin netanyahu had rejected a deal early on in this war for the

release of children, women, the sick and elderly in exchange for a five—day ceasefire. there were these rumours swirling around, many from qatar, about a larger group being released. how difficult is it to hear all of that but see actual no real progress in real terms? i am real progress in realterms? i am not really — real progress in realterms? i am not really expecting _ real progress in realterms? i am not really expecting for _ real progress in real terms? i:n not really expecting for any of these rumours to become true. i don�*t really listen to them. i think it is all part of some psychological war that hamas is conducting against us in this battle for the destruction of israel. and so i don�*t pay too much attention to it. when there is a deal, something is not a rumour but something serious is happening, then i will comment. at the moment it is just generation and we have to be careful not to be

fooled by these tactics and psychological warfare that hamas is conducting. it is... it is totally and utterly statistic to create this hopein and utterly statistic to create this hope in us, people who want their love ones to be returned. they�*ve done nothing wrong. you know, these rumours that spread and full hope. i just try not to listen to them too much and not be fooled by them. the excruciating wait for those family members of the hostages, over 240 is still being held. let me give you an update on what we�*ve seen in the hospitals. we talked of the idf, the red cross saying overstretch,

running out of supplies and unsaved, the health system has reached a point of no return. they talk about the horrendous images which have got worse, the destruction facing hospitals is becoming unbearable and needs to stop. thatjust released from the red cross. you were watching bbc news. it was thought to be extinct, but a creature named after sir david attenborough has been captured on film, for the first time. the species, named attenborough�*s long—beaked echidna, is thought to have emerged 200 million years ago — and lived among the dinosaurs. now it�*s been re—discovered in indonesia. sir david himself is said to be "absolutely delighted". our environment correspondent jonah fisher reports. that is the first ever image, that one, of attenborough�*s long—beaked echidna. that anyone has ever recorded in the entirety of history? correct. proof of life from a species that was feared lost forever. i was euphoric and the whole team was euphoric. 12 seconds of camera trap footage,

a reminder that there are still places on earth that humans have not disturbed. it�*s absolutely astonishing. it's an echidna, and you can tell that it's a mammal because it's got hair. a favourite of sir david, the rediscovered species is called attenborough�*s long—beaked echidna. it's weirdly different from a hedgehog, a porcupine, or almost any other kind of mammal. here�*s sir david with its much easier—to—find cousin the short—bea ked echidna. thought to have lived alongside dinosaurs, echidnas are one of only two mammals to lay eggs. just one specimen of the attenborough echidna has been gathered by a dutch botanist way back in 1961. it may look a little bit like a run—over

hedgehog, but until now, this unique specimen was the only proof that the attenborough long—beaked echidna actually existed. and that�*s because these echidna live in one of the most remote places on earth, the cyclops mountains in indonesia. previous attempts to find the echidna failed due to a combination of opposition from local villagers and the challenging conditions. have you got it? yeah _ and it wasn�*t all about the echidna. my colleagues and i were chuckling all the time. oh, this is, you know, nobody has seen this. other scientists in the team found new discoveries such as beetles, frogs and shrimps at every turn. wow. it was truly a monumental expedition. and you think you found lots of new species? several dozens, for sure.

when you rediscover a species like attenborough�*s long—beaked echidna, it demonstrates what this intact rainforest has been protecting. and given that so much of that rainforest also hasn�*t been explored, what else is out there that we haven�*t yet discovered? what extraordinary new species are there to be discovered by science? having notified him by letter, sir david is said to be absolutely delighted that his echidna has been found. jonah fisher, bbc news. 0ne one more story to squeeze in because you may remember the story of the loneliest sheep. she was stranded at the bottom of the cliff in the scottish highlands and rescued last weekend. she�*s been settled into her new home, as i was scotland correspondent reports. fiona in her new home, unfazed by the worldwide publicity. we�*re just letting her settle into her surroundings.

and then after that, we�*re going to start socialising with her. hopefully she�*ll start eating out of our hand and she�*ll start just getting used to people as well. after two years isolated at the bottom of a cliff on the cromarty firth, fiona was rescued at the weekend by five farmers, including cammy wilson. i'm very glad my mum is going to watch this after she knows i'm home safe, or she'd be terrified. they admitted it was dangerous... i'll give it a wee lift. ..but after two hours they were safely at the top. then it was time for her first—ever shearing. a whopping nine kilograms of wool was removed. this sheep is special. there is no other way to describe it. the way she�*s just came into this new environment, totally relaxed. i think she knows what�*s happening, though, because whenever there�*s a film crew here or someone filming, she stands like this, posing for the camera. i think she�*s enjoying it. well, she's certainly very content. there was a visit from the sspca to check how fiona was doing. how do you know what

a sheep is thinking? you can see she's content. if she was stressed, i she wouldn't be eating, she'd be standing in a corner. she's not doing any of that. the reason she�*s called fiona is because there was another sheep in new zealand who also sheltered in a cave who was called shrek. so we�*ve got shrek and fiona. the other residents of dalscone farm seem rather intrigued by fiona while she has been playing it cool. alexandra mackenzie, bbc news, dumfries. now it�*s time for a look at the weather. hello. some of are set to start their weekend with frost and fog patches, and where does develop it could be slow to clear. saturday should be a mostly dry day with sunshine. things change on remembrance sunday with outbreaks of rain in places. through the rest of this evening and

tonight, we will see some showers here and there but most fading. clear spells, the winds falling lighter, allowing some fog patches to develop. it will allow temperatures to drop to —1 in the centre of glasgow, some places getting colder and quite close to freezing widely. saturday morning we will find ourselves in this gap between weather systems, meaning quite a lot of dry weather. with those fog patches, some which could be slow to clear, particular across northern england, ireland and scotland, a few showers peppering eastern coast but a fine —looking day, and that should be quite a lot of sunshine. temperatures 7 degrees in glasgow, 12 in cardiff, maybe 13 in glasgow, 12 in cardiff, maybe 13 in the channel islands. through the late afternoon and evening, heavy rain across the channel islands and into the far south—west of england. in association with a frontal system, a few different frontal

systems pushing in from the atlantic, but still with uncertainty of the timing. the further north you are, sunday is likely to start with are, sunday is likely to start with a lot of mist and murk and fog patches, some slow to clear. if you are off to any commemorations, scotland could be murky and cold. into this mix, we will bring some outbreaks of rain. showery rained for wales and southern england, unlikely to be raining all the time but i chanced it could affect northern ireland and further north—east. if it stays dry, it is likely to stay murky and decidedly chilly. milder towards the south—west of england. things will turn milder into the start of the new week as the frontal system pushes them from the atlantic, perhaps some rain and wind, pretend ridges of 14 or 15 degrees. it may turn drier towards the end of the week.
