it was really hard, i felt like a failure as a parent. and why this nuthatch in south wales has found itself a growing global following. and coming up in sport on bbc news — at opposite ends of the table, liverpool go to everton in the merseyside derby tonight, with both sides in desperate need of a win. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. a teenage girl has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after three people were stabbed at a school in south—west wales this morning. two teachers and a pupil were taken to hospital. emergency services, including two air ambulance helicopters, were called to the school in ammanford which was put in to lockdown to try to protect

the children inside. from there tomos morgan reports. this happened at 11:15am today at the school behind me, ysgol dyffryn aman. what we know is a girl stabbed two teachers and aman. what we know is a girl stabbed two teachers and a aman. what we know is a girl stabbed two teachers and a pupil aman. what we know is a girl stabbed two teachers and a pupil and aman. what we know is a girl stabbed two teachers and a pupil and those three were taken to hospital. we still don't have an update on the severity of those injuries. we understand an arrest has been made and a girl has been arrested on attempted murder charges. for quite some time parents were here at the main entrance of the school waiting for information because the school went straight down into lockdown will stop there was a significant police presence here. we havejust had a please update by superintendent ross evans, where he called for restraint on social media

after what has happened. he asks people not to speculate or circulate any media as the investigation is ongoing and people could be in contempt of court if they did so. but it has been a truly shocking and worrying day for many family members here as they all wait outside for about four hours as the pupils remained in the classroom and the police continue their investigation to make sure everything was settled. when they were released at quarter past three the sense of relief from everybody involved was palpable as they came out, parents comforting their pupils and going home after such a shocking and worrying day here in south—west wales. we such a shocking and worrying day here in south-west wales. we can see the olice here in south-west wales. we can see the police investigation _ here in south-west wales. we can see the police investigation continues - the police investigation continues tonight. give us a sense of the mood after what has happened. just shocked i think, _ after what has happened. just shocked i think, you don't expect anything like this to happen in this quiet mining town here in south—west wales. when i spoke to people when i first arrived here at the scene i

think the biggest thing for them was the lack of information. there was some angerfrom some the lack of information. there was some anger from some parents, the lack of information. there was some angerfrom some parents, anger at the lack of information not only from the school, but from the emergency services. several were unhappy that the police were questioning their children without them being present at the questioning. there was so much unknown after what happened here, but someone has been arrested and the investigation is ongoing and everyone that has been involved in this incident or affected by this incident, the family members, have been contacted. there were extraordinary scenes in london this morning when a group of military horses threw their riders and bolted through the streets leaving four people including a cyclist in hospital. our correspondent ellie price reports. if it wasn't so dangerous, it would be strangely beautiful. two military horses on the run in central london during the morning rush hour. one

hits a taxi. and they carry on down fleet street. in total, five household cavalry horses ran loose after unseating four riders. one had beenin after unseating four riders. one had been in charge of two courses. the damage unmistakable as they crashed into several vehicles, including this bus. three soldiers were hospitalised, their injuries not deemed to be life—threatening. the bbc understands a fourth person injured was a cyclist. at such a busy time in the day there were of course plenty of witnesses. figs busy time in the day there were of course plenty of witnesses. $5 i course plenty of witnesses. as i looked to the _ course plenty of witnesses. as i looked to the left _ course plenty of witnesses. as i looked to the left i _ course plenty of witnesses. is i looked to the left i saw two horses coming towards me and i ran to get across the road. they are big horses and the grey or white one had blood from its weathers, its shoulders. it was coming at such a speed, i thought i need to stop the sources. two horses went past me and i saw them _ two horses went past me and i saw them gallop without riders, which was quite — them gallop without riders, which was quite extraordinary. i checked

sirjeffrey donaldson, has appeared in court in newry charged with rape and a number of other historical sex offences including gross indecency towards a child between 1985 and 2006. his wife, lady eleanor donaldson, also appeared charged with aiding and abetting offences. and just to explain — the identities of the police officers you'll see in this report have been protected because of the security situation in northern ireland. sara girvin reports. a media frenzy greeted sirjeffrey donaldson outside newry court. this was the first time he had been seen since the historical sex offences alleged against him were made public last month. over easter, he stepped down as the leader of the dup, northern ireland's largest unionist party. today, a police officer connected him to 11 charges, one of gross indecency towards a child, nine counts of indecent assault and one of rape. joining him in the dock

was his wife and co—accused lady eleanor donaldson. she's facing four charges that amount to aiding and abetting the offences her husband is charged with. the pair's charges involve two alleged victims and span from 1985 to 2006. neither of the donaldsons entered a plea today, that will come at a later date. they were both released on bail of £350 and a condition stopping them from having contact with each other was lifted. all in all, the hearing lasted for about seven minutes. there was chaos and confusion as northern ireland's longest serving member of parliament, who remains the mp for lagan valley, attempted to leave court before his car had arrived. police held back a crowd made up of members of the public and the press, to get him into the building before he left on the second attempt. jeffrey donaldson did not answer any questions, but has previously said he would strenuously contest the

charges against him. the case will be heard again next month. sarah girvin, bbc news in newry. three men from sudan and south sudan have been arrested in kent after five people died trying to cross the channel in a small boat yesterday including a seven—year—old girl. the men were detained on suspicion of facilitating illegal immigration and entering the uk illegally. more than 400 people landed on the english coast yesterday alone. tom symonds reports from france. a desperate journey right from the start. more than 110 people clinging to a flimsy inflatable. other migrants say they were mainly iraqi kurds. laterthree migrants say they were mainly iraqi kurds. later three men, women and a seven—year—old girl died in the water. we have been told herfather survived. one man was arrested on the beach, inquiries continue on both sides the channel. the national

crime agency in the uk is investigating illegal immigration offences. it has already questioned 55 people who were on the boat and made it across. three men have been arrested, two from sudan and one from south sudan. it happened on a beach close to the seaside town where we saw more migrants openly heading for the beach with life jackets and a folded boat in the middle of the day among people taking their lunch break. translation: i am taking their lunch break. translation: iam reaching taking their lunch break. translation: i am reaching a breaking point. injanuaryi translation: i am reaching a breaking point. injanuary i alerted the authorities and we had five deaths. three months later, the same thing. five deaths including a seven—year—old girl. i can't take it any more. so at some point we will have to find lasting solutions and stop pretending that everyone is trying to fix things. but stop pretending that everyone is trying to fix things.— trying to fix things. but why are these personal— trying to fix things. but why are these personal stop? _ trying to fix things. but why are these personal stop? on - trying to fix things. but why are these personal stop? on the i trying to fix things. but why are . these personal stop? on the beach please try to deflate them, but as

yesterday's incident showed, the migrants are increasingly fighting back. once in the water, police are told not to follow for safety reasons. we witnessed the separate launch where police hung back, falsely accusing our team or cooperating with the migrants. you know they are _ cooperating with the migrants. wm. know they are there. yes! cooperating with the migrants. you | know they are there. yes! once the boats reach — know they are there. yes! once the boats reach deeper _ know they are there. yes! once the boats reach deeper french - know they are there. yes! once the boats reach deeper french water. know they are there. yes! once the | boats reach deeper french water the navy has a duty to rescue those who want to be rescued, but regards it as too dangerous to stop those who refuse. most only accept help in british waters because they will not be taken back to france. behind them, thousands more are waiting for their chance, living in camps or french hotels, aware that the government in the uk now has a law aimed at deterring them stop if you come on the boats, that is why you could be sent to rwanda. will you still come on the boats?—

slightly. it looks like it will be another favourable night for crossings and we have already seen some buses are starting to take migrants, particularly vietnamese, heading out towards the coast. they looked like they are not being deterred at all by the deaths or by the threat they might be sent to rwanda once they get to the uk. at the moment there rwanda issue is seen very much as a hypothetical one, not a real threat. the police here are still saying we are doing the best we can under very trying circumstances. the un's human rights chief says he is "horrified" by the destruction of two of gaza's main hospitals amid reports of mass graves being found at the sites. palestinian officials say they have exhumed the bodies of almost 300 people at nasser and al—shifa hospitals. the israel defence forces described reports that they buried bodies as "baseless and unfounded" and said existing graves had been opened while searching for the remains of hostages. a warning, some viewers might find images in fergal keane's

fighting in the area. today the un human rights director for the palestinian territories told me there had to be an independent investigation to get to the truth. we still don't have evidence, we have information. that information needs to be corroborated from different sources. that is why we do need an independent international investigation. what we cannot allow investigation. what we cannot allow in this current situation where we have seen in gaza numerous grave human rights violations, many of them potentially war crimes, and where we have raised alarm of potential atrocity crimes, that this becomes another blip, the intensity of violations have been massive. this woman retrieved her husband's body at nasser hospital and was able to bury him. his daughter is struggling to understand his

absence. he loved me, she says, and used to buy things for me he used to take me out. they were be searching and burying here for days. and all over gaza, the dying continues. our top story this evening: a teenage girl has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a stabbing at a school in camarthenshire. and why a haze of orange dust has descended over athens. and coming up in sport on bbc news — after a good recent run, disappointment for emma raducanu as she's beaten in straight sets in the opening round of the madrid open.

four years ago, covid brought the uk to a standstill as lockdown was imposed. we have been looking at the legacy of those lockdowns and how it affected all of us in work, health and education. tonight we report on the impact on school children who found themselves cut off from teachers and friends. since the pandemic, the proportion of children in england who are persistenty absent has doubled — from 10% to 20% — and that number is a lot higher, among secondary school children who are disadvantaged. lucy watkinson has been following one school in oldham in greater manchester, where some children found themselves even more isolated because of local lockdowns. she reports on the lockdown legacy. you got everything? bye. it affected

to describe the killings saying it was "callous, degrading and desensitised." nottinghamshire police has declined to comment. 19—year—old barnaby webber�*s mother — emma — spoke to the bbc earlier today. it's abhorrent language, it's abhorrent to refer to these beautiful human beings who had the most horrific experience. greece is famous for its crystal clear skies, but now a huge dust cloud from the sahara desert has engulfed large parts of the country. in athens, many of the world famous ancient siites like the acropolis are barely visible. anyone with a respiratory condition has been advised to stay indoors, wear protective masks and avoid exercising until the air clears. they are unlikely global stars — but two nuthatches in a garden in south wales have a growing international following after

taking up in a bird box built for blue tits. tens of thousands of people are tuning in every day to the live stream as the nut hatches settle in. kate macrae has six nesting boxes with cameras but this is the first time nuthatches have been to stay and they're not the easiest tenants. it's a rather unique nest box, to be honest, because it's actually set up to look like a little sitting room. so it's been created with 1/12th sized doll's house furniture. and i set it up believing that blue tits would move in, because that's usually the species that most takes to this sort of size box. but i was delighted when nuthatches started looking in and, yeah, they've taken up residence. nuthatches like to make the space their own and this pair have really gone to town. they've tried to take out the ornaments and the picture that's on the walls. so when they decided they couldn't get them out, instead they plastered

everything with mud. i would imagine next we'll hopefully see her laying and then be able to follow the whole story as she raises herfamily in the little sitting room nest box. for the last seven years i've been filming a pair of tawny owls and aluko is at least seven years old now — that's the female — and she has three owlets at the moment that are coming up to a month old and they are absolutely beautiful. so as soon as they get to about a month old, they're strong enough and inquisitive enough to start clambering up to that entrance. and it must be incredible, having lived in that tiny box for a month, to then realise there's a huge world right outside. kate macrae and her bird boxes. time for a look at the weather, here's elizabeth rizzini. not too cold for the nuthatches. if you were hoping for something warmer, i'm going to dash those hopes. still some spectacular

sunshine there, particularly in the north and west, such as in edinburgh. a lot of sunshine for scotland, helping to lift the temperature and the spirits. 13 here. but compare that to seven that we got in scarborough and down these north sea—facing coasts. some areas of cloud too. for the next few days it is chilly. some sunny spells and some showers. less cold into the weekend. tonight, a messy picture, a mixture of cloud and some showers, some wintry over the hills of scotland. blustery for north sea—facing coasts. some icy stretches too. it is hard to believe it is late april. into tomorrow, the cloud, the showers, will track further south across england and wales and sunnier in northern england and scotland and northern

ireland with some more isolated showers, possibly wintry in scotland. still blustery for the north sea coasts. temperatures eight or nine here. on friday this low pressure approaches the far south—west of england, giving some showers here and across the channel islands. elsewhere a scattering of showers and some sunshine. less wind chill, because the winds will be lighter the temperatures are low for this time of year. as we go into the weekend, we start to draw in some less cold airfrom weekend, we start to draw in some less cold air from the south. temperatures rising a little. thanks, elizabeth. and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website. now, it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday this wednesday night with me chetan pathak, coming up on the programme: at opposite ends of the table, liverpool go to everton
