before we look at the paper front pages, a warning — we have some upsetting images of the runaway horses that escaped today. four people were taken to hospital after five horses of the household cavalry threw off their riders and raced through london. they collided with vehicles, including a double—decker bus and taxi, but have now been recovered and returned to camp. an army spokesman said a number of people and horses are receiving the appropriate medical attention. those upsetting images are on some of the front pages.

then we have the times, england is the worst in the world or under age drinking. and pictures of the horse again. those horses in the daily telegraph, keir starmer refusing to match the pm was make defence budget, and horror and a playground as teacher is stark. that is all from us tonight. —— teacher is stabbed. kirsty�*s here tomorrow. till then, goodnight. breaking news from around the world 24 breaking news from around the world 2a hours a day, this is bbc news.

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. andrew harding has more. business as usual on the french coast this afternoon. people from vietnam, from afghanistan, setting off by bus towards the sand dunes and the beaches. the forecast ideal for more attempted channel crossings tonight. it was only yesterday morning that we witnessed how risky and violent those journeys can be. we watched migrants and smugglers fight off the police. you can see the smugglers here. some of them have sticks. they're trying to protect the migrants as they head towards the sea. then they try to cram more than 100

people into a small inflatable boat. five died, including a seven—year—old iraqi girl. this evening, there was a memorial service for the dead in calais. among those attending, a charity worker who saw what happened to the iraqi girl. translation: the girl's father was in tears, but at first, - she was still alive. she was being treated in an ambulance. later, when her death was announced, her father was shattered. this is the beach where it happened — all quiet again today. in the nearby town of wimereux, the sight of migrants, like these we filmed yesterday, has become routine. but the death toll is angering many. injanuary, we came here for another incident. five people had drowned just off the seafront in the middle of wimereux.

today, the mayor told us nothing had improved. translation: i can't take it any more. - i've reached a breaking point. we had five dead injanuary here and now the same thing. no—one is fixing things. it's getting worse. i'm so angry. in a makeshift camp along the coast, these migrants were looking for rwanda on a map of africa. most people are aware of britain's plans to deport people there. rwanda, yes? some are worried. rwanda no good. no good? no good. africa... but for many, the risk remains hypothetical and obscure. problem... problem, if you go to rwanda? mm. but you still try, you still try to go to england, yeah? yes. and what of the behaviour of the french police? yesterday, we watched them fail to halt the boat. today, we went back to the spot where so much had gone

so badly wrong, so fast. could, should the french police have done more to stop the boat and perhaps save lives? well, they insist that it was too risky to intervene in what was already a very violent, very dangerous situation — that if they had tried to stop the migrants from getting into that boat, they could easily have made matters even worse. clearly, it is a hard balance to strike, but five people died in this small boatjust yards from the shore, and many more are likely to die as summer approaches and the number of attempted small boat crossings surges. andrew harding, bbc news, in northern france. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

a teenage girl has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a stabbing at a school in south—west wales. two teachers and a teenage pupil were taken to hospital. police say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident. tomos morgan reports: this was the scene at ysgol dyffryn aman after what was a shocking incident. two teachers and a pupil stabbed and taken to hospital with non—life—threatening injuries. a raft of emergency service vehicles and personnel attended the scene, and worried parents rushed to the gates waiting for any news. radu in year ten was inside when the alarm was raised. i was in it room and i walked out as break ended, and i heard that there's been a stabbing from this pupil, but i didn't believe her until i heard the code red. parents have been waiting here for hours outside

ysgol dyffryn aman, waiting for their children to be released from their classrooms. those that have contacted their parents say they've been fed and they've been questioned by the police. the parents have also said that the emergency services and the school have been sporadic with information about what's happened. i've tried to ring the school several times. the phones are out of order. they're not answering the phones. as we can see, the school is on lockdown so we can't get into the school. very worrying and very concerning. and, you know, even though we know the person's been apprehended, still concerned about the well— being of, you know, their minds, their little minds. at around 3:15, the children were released. a bit shakyjust because, you know, it happened and this saying and, you know, that happened and we were there. relief, a little bit. yeah, because it's over. everything's finished. dyfed—powys police say they've recovered a knife and that a teenage girl has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and remains in custody.

we are working together with the school and all other agencies in the area to ensure appropriate support is available to all people involved. this was a very distressing incident. as the students were reunited into the comforting arms of their parents, dyffryn aman will remain closed tomorrow as the police investigation continues. tomos morgan, bbc news, ammanford. there were some extraordinary scenes in london this morning a number of horses from the household cavalry which were on exercise threw their riders and bolted through the streets leaving four people including a cyclist in hospital. our correspondent ellie price has the story. 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 been in charge of two horses. 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. when i saw these horses galloping along, it's a very surreal thing to see, as you can imagine. then they came running down here. some went off that way, some went straight on, and one of the horses decided to go through a van and made a mess of the van. they were going really, really fast, really galloping down the road. other people around me were really shocked, lots of people were upset. i thought i was watching a film at first. pictures on social media showed members of the public catching

and calming one of the horses. eventually all five were caught and were checked over by a vet. the chaos started to unfold near buckingham palace this morning. the black and the grey made it here to the strand before ending up five miles away at limehouse in east london. we understand it was noise from a nearby building site that causes the horses to spook and then bolt. they unseated their riders coming down here, and one of the loose horses crashed into a taxi just about here. household cavalry horses are used to loud noises and loud events. every morning around 150 are exercised on the roads and parks of the capital, to get them used to city sounds. the commanding officer insisted this sort of event was rare, but asked the public to avoid making loud noises around the animals. tonight all five horses are back at their barracks. ellie price, bbc news. a growing number of young people in russia are being influenced

by the asian music and film culture — as sanctions have made it harder to access western culture products. emily brown reports. k—pop�*s global popularity has grown over the past few years, with bands like bts achieving worldwide success, and it's particularly on the rise in russia. russia and china share a lengthy border, and russia has a long cultural ties with east asia. but sanctions have made it harder to access western cultural products. and that means russians are turning to countries like south korea, japan and china for entertainment. and k—pop has been gaining a lot of momentum in russia. k—pop dance schools like these have now got thousands of students practising in russian cities. and group performances in russian society are becoming more frequent. translation: people started getting interested in k-pop covers. _ i think it became so widespread because a lot of k—pop has started to go out on the streets to film themselves.

it used to be done in studios, renting studios or other indoor locations. then it became popular to perform k—pop in public. but it's notjust k—pop. many russians have been heading to anime festivals, too, with inspiration from japan. what's clear is that east asia's cultural influence continues to rise in russia. now — the us military are trained to deal with the unexpected, but take a look at what turned up on the runway at macdill air force base in tampa in florida. a three metre — or ten foot — alligator. it was spotted next to the landing gear of a refuelling aircraft. as you can see the gator was wrangled and captured by wildlife experts. officials say it may have wandered into the base searching for a mate. the alligator was released into a nearby river and the air force posted — "our newest toothy airman has been relocated to a more suitable

environment off base." hello. it has been another rather cold—feeling day for many parts of the uk. any sign of the temperatures lifting over the next few days? well, certainly notjust yet — staying chilly through thursday and friday. there will be some sunshine, but also some showers — some of those showers wintry over high ground in the north of the uk. a cold air mass enveloping the country right now, that cold air being drawn down from the north. also coming down from the north overnight, some areas of cloud, some bits and pieces of showery rain — i say rain, cold enough for some of the showers over high ground in scotland to be falling as snow. some snow mixing in above, say, 2—300 metres' elevation. it'll be cold enough for a frost as well, temperatures dropping perilously close to freezing, below freezing in some locations. so for thursday morning, quite a cold start. areas of cloud bringing some showery rain across parts of england and wales, brightening up through the day across northern england.

northern ireland and scotland, seeing sunny spells and showers — still some wintriness in those showers over high ground in scotland, and temperatures in a range between 8—13 celsius, so below par for this time of year. through thursday night and into friday, it looks like we'll see this weather system here just grazing the south of england and the channel islands, so that will bring some cloud, perhaps some showery rain here through the day. elsewhere, it is another sunny—spells—and—showers day. still some wintry showers in those showers over the hills and mountains of scotland, and those temperatures for most between 8—12 celsius. now, as we head into the start of the weekend, for most, it'll be a cold morning on saturday, it's another sunshine—and—showers day. but turn your eyes to the south — an area of thicker cloud and some outbreaks of rain pushing across the channel islands, into southern counties of england through saturday afternoon. with that, temperatures will start to lift a little — 1a celsius in london. and that is the story

of the weekend weather, some slightly less cold air beginning to spill its way up from the south. certainly not going to be a heat wave, and it's certainly not going to be completely dry, because that slightly—less—cold air is being brought our way by this area of low pressure. looks like we will see some outbreaks of rain continuing on into sunday, particularly across england and wales. the chance of seeing something drier and brighter for northern ireland and scotland.

this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines at the top of the hour, as newsday continues straight after hardtalk. welcome to hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur. the debate about sex, gender and identity has become perhaps the most hotly contested front in the culture wars. at its heart are deep disagreements about what makes us who we are, the limits of self—determination, and the relationship between the individual and wider society. my guest is the philosopher and gender theoristjudith butler, whose ideas on gender fluidity and transgender rights have put them at odds with conservative politicians, authoritarian rulers, religious leaders and some feminists too.
