into bangkok airport and rushing to meet it on the tarmac, as i mentioned, with ambulances coming around, we have lines of them treating people at a makeshift field hospital that was set up on the tarmac. the airline has released a statement... that's a brief overview of what we know so far but there are a lot of live updates on the bbc website. we have heard from passengers and crew members who said this was the worst turbulence they have seen in their 30 year career. you can find all of that here on the bbc live page. courtney bembridge there. now we can return to the uk blood scandal because the government and ministers have confirmed the first full compensation to victims, interim payments of £210,000, will be paid within 90 days for the most urgent

cases. early on i spoke to a man who represents 1500 victims and their families to get his reaction to the details laid out. the families to get his reaction to the details laid out.— details laid out. the immediate reaction is _ details laid out. the immediate reaction is i'm _ details laid out. the immediate reaction is i'm more _ details laid out. the immediate reaction is i'm more confused l details laid out. the immediate i reaction is i'm more confused than details laid out. the immediate - reaction is i'm more confused than i was before the announcement was made. this announcement and this paperwork that it has produced today, has resulted from a three—year process which began when a penny more than asked sir robert francis to outline a possible compensation scheme. —— penny mordaunt. he outlined the possible compensation scheme and gave it to the government two years ago, and the government two years ago, and the purpose of that was that we were all going to know what we were going to do and how it would be achieved two years ago but the government did nothing with it and put that on a she” nothing with it and put that on a shelf and left it there. the inquiry process got hold of it and they

looked at the robert francis report and effectively he rubber—stamped it, and this time last year he produced an interim report dealing with a compensation in which he pretty much adopted the robert great francis report. —— robert francis. his direction was that the report should be the subject of a working compensation scheme by the autumn of last year. we know that did not happen, and he did not happen by christmas or the spring and it still hasn't happened yet. what we have todayis hasn't happened yet. what we have today is basically a lot of paperwork, doing not much more than reprinting the robert francis proposals. a little bit of detail in there but unfortunately the little bit of detail which is in there now only serves to confuse further because whoever has prepared it,

whichever civil servant was sufficiently troubled by the government to actually produce this effort, did not really understand what was happening and how it was going to happen, so... let what was happening and how it was going to happen, so...— going to happen, so... let me ask ou a going to happen, so... let me ask you a simple _ going to happen, so... let me ask you a simple question. _ going to happen, so... let me ask you a simple question. is - going to happen, so... let me ask you a simple question. is it - going to happen, so... let me ask you a simple question. is it clear l you a simple question. is it clear to you as a lawyer, is it clear to the families you have spoken to, and they will actually receive a payment?— they will actually receive a -a ment? ., , ., . ., they will actually receive a -a ment? ., , ., ., payment? no, it is not clear from an of payment? no, it is not clear from any of the — payment? no, it is not clear from any of the paperwork _ payment? no, it is not clear from any of the paperwork when - payment? no, it is not clear from any of the paperwork when we - payment? no, it is not clear from | any of the paperwork when we will receive the payment and how it will be calculated. those are the issues they wanted resolution on and we don't have that this afternoon. let me ask you about accountability because we have heard some people call for criminal prosecutions. do you think after all these years that thatis you think after all these years that that is still a possibility? how do you see there being real accountability?- you see there being real accountabili ? . , accountability? real accountability in the sense _

dependency, the isle of man. the campaign group dignity in dying says, that more than 200 million people around the world — have legal access to some form of assisted dying. switzerland has allowed assisted dying since 1942. the practice is lawful irrespective of the condition of the person who requests it. in the us, medically assisted dying for adults is legal in 11 of the 50 states — — including california, newjersey and washington. the benelux countries — belgium, the netherlands and luxembourg — — all have laws that allow people who are not terminally ill to receive assistance to die. but in many countries, like japan, the practice of assisted dying is illegal. our medical editor, fergus walsh, reports. a storm is coming tojersey�*s calm and prosperous waters. assisted dying was approved in principle here in 2021, but now the island's parliament will vote on whether proposals should be turned into law.

the 49 members of the state's assembly will have two options to vote on this week — whether to restrict assisted dying to the terminally ill or whether also to extend to those who are not dying but are facing unbearable physical suffering. just to show you rachel's room. when she passed away, this was her bedroom. rob kelly says assisted dying would put the disabled and vulnerable in even greater danger. he says his daughter rachel was repeatedly written off by doctors because of her severe physical and learning disabilities. rachel was perceived by some of the medical profession as having no quality of life, purely because she was in a wheelchair. and when we were in hospital, we were pressured time after time to have do not resuscitate put on her notes. going forward, i think doctors will see this as an easy way out.

some people's lives will be put at risk purely because they have a disability and seen as having no value. when you don't have to worry about what your death is going to be like, you can actuallyjust live that little bit more. but for lorna pirozzolo, who is terminally ill with advanced breast cancer, it would be a comfort to know that an assisted death was an option injersey. she's hoping the law will come in time for her, as she fears dying in pain. there's no purpose to forcing somebody to endure torture towards the end of their life. you know, i do have to consider, do i save up for dignitas or if scotland enacts a similar law before jersey, do i make sure i'm back home in time that i would be eligible there? so you are having to think about your death when really

you should be living. nigel minihane, a jersey gp for 35 years, backs assisted dying for the terminally ill but is opposed to extending it to those facing unbearable suffering from an incurable physical condition. the safeguarding risks are too high. they're not in the dying process. and even though i have sympathy, obviously, with people with unbearable suffering, the problem is that how do we know there is no coercion there? a beacon of hope or an erosion of vital safeguards? assisted dying remains one of the most contentious issues facing society. fergus walsh, bbc news, jersey. we will have the weather shortly. we will have all the latest in the next hour after the fight that hit severe turbulence. these are some of the still pictures. one man died and

seven are critically injured. we will talk to our reporter in singapore where the fight was supposed to actually land. we will also have the latest on the uk blood scandal, that is coming up in the next 60 minutes, developments here after the government outlined the compensation scheme. we have the latest from new york where donald trump's defence in the hush money trial, they have rested their defence, and the next stage of this, it will be for the jury to decide, so we will get the latest from our correspondent, and also the latest from iran where we have seen the start of three days of funeral ceremonies after the death of the president. these are the live pictures from the holy city in iran. this is all coming up in the next hour but this is after the weather

forecast. hello. rain clouds are looming and we are in for a wet day tomorrow. as far as today's concerned, showers and thunderstorms are possible across some parts of the country, but for many of us, it's actually going to be a relatively dry day, albeit on the cloudy side. certainly more cloud around today compared to yesterday. now, this is the forecast for the second half of the afternoon. some rain there across east anglia and the south—east. where you see the lightning bolts, that's where the thunderstorms are more likely to develop. is there any sunshine today? yes, there is, across the western isles and the north of scotland and it feels warmest here too. now through this evening and overnight, the rain's going to come become more extensive across central and eastern areas of the uk. the winds will freshen, too, and by the morning really quite soggy across this part of the world, but not everywhere — dry across the bulk of scotland, northern ireland and some of these western areas as well — mild, around 12 or 13. now, this low will hang around through wednesday,

thursday and into friday, and it will deliver a substantial amount of rainfall, particularly to more northern parts of the country. so here it is — a thoroughly wet grey day across many parts of england, wales. eventually the rain will reach southern scotland too, and later in the day should just about nudge into northern ireland. now, the south coast will probably have some sunny spells, but showers are possible, too, and even downpours much cooler tomorrow. and also a noticeable wind blowing in from the north. now, by thursday, the rain won't be quite so heavy, but it will transfer northwards. look at the winds again, coming in from the north. so, in scotland it really will feel very cool indeed. temperatures in some areas could be no higher than around 11 or 12 degrees. more like 16—17 in the south with a bit of sunshine, but again, a fair amount of cloud. so, how much rainfall are we going to get? well, there is a possibility of widely 30 to a0 millimetres of rain. and in some spots, the met office warns there could be as much as 100 millimetres of rain or more. so there could be some impacts through the week from that heavy rain.

now, this is the outlook into the weekend. there are indications that, as we head into the bank holiday weekend, high pressure will start to build. so, the weather will settle down. but overall, it does look like it's going to be a mixed bag. now, here's that high pressure — from monday. it could be a very decent day, reliably dry, i think. but come tuesday, i think just one or two showers.
