border, and last year almost 2.5 million people were apprehended. house republicans intend to make that the focus of the 2024 campaign. and today they moved closer to impeaching the secretary will of homeland security alejandro mayorkas. impeaching a cabinet official is rare but they accuse mr mayorkas of failing to enforce us laws at the border, and therefore a "dereliction of duty". brya n bryan la nza, bryan lanza, can you impeach someone for policies _ bryan lanza, can you impeach someone for policies you don't like? you can impeach _ for policies you don't like? you can impeach somebody for failing to uphold — impeach somebody for failing to uphold the constitution of the united — uphold the constitution of the united states? i thinkjoe biden

to rwanda, one ambitious tory mp had reservations. he agreed with labour — that it wouldn't work, it was a waste of money, it was the latest in a long line of gimmicks. does the prime minister know what happened to that mp? laughter. mr speaker, what that honourable gentleman refers to is a document that he hasn't seen, i haven't seen, and has been reported second—hand in media newspapers. but what i can tell him, what i can tell him is, i am absolutely clear that you do need to stop the boats and that's what this government — and that mp — is going to deliver. well, bronwen, the christmas day armistice is well and truly over.

the rebels probably won't be able to vote on the amendments of the committee stage next week, but when it comes back they can ditch the whole bill, and the x migration minister who resigned over the draught law that said he would do just that if he doesn't get the changes he wants. it doesn't look good for the new government as we go into the new year. it’s good for the new government as we go into the new year.— into the new year. it's not a predictable _ into the new year. it's not a predictable fight, _ into the new year. it's not a predictable fight, this - into the new year. it's not a predictable fight, this one | into the new year. it's not a| predictable fight, this one is into the new year. it's not a - predictable fight, this one is going to go really to the last stages in the way you beautifully described the way you beautifully described the prime minister is in a pickle. part of his party wants the bill to be tougher, others wanted to be looser, and the labour party doesn't want it at all. really going to be horse trading right up to the wire on these amendments that they want to see, butjust linking back to the american question, it shows many, many countries are facing this. i think this is the kind of thing that is probably thrashed out in elections, not in impeachment, because these are disagreements

about policy and about policies are incredibly hard to find an answer, there struggling to find an answer to this very difficult problem, but it's the kind of thing that voters really care intensely about and people are watching. i really care intensely about and people are watching.— people are watching. i love it, bronwen, _ people are watching. i love it, bronwen, when _ people are watching. i love it, bronwen, when you _ people are watching. i love it, bronwen, when you highlightl people are watching. i love it, - bronwen, when you highlight wire but the stories together. but strictly speaking, do you see a cross over here in the way that congress and the house of commons deals with the immigration issue, and how difficult it is to find reform? it is immigration issue, and how difficult it is to find reform?— it is to find reform? it is very difficult. _ it is to find reform? it is very difficult, because _ it is to find reform? it is very difficult, because if- it is to find reform? it is very difficult, because if you - it is to find reform? it is very difficult, because if you take | it is to find reform? it is very i difficult, because if you take the us, it's prided itself famously of being a country of immigrants, and yet given the numbers of people who want to move across the planet these days, very few democracies could take everyone who wants to come and still keep a government in power. at least that's what many politicians fear, using those pressures right through europe. so trying to control their borders more closely, control,

clamp down on illegal immigration, control legal migration more, get the kind of people they want and none of the kind of people they don't want, and so on, and it is very very difficult. and this is the kind of thing where passions are rising enormously among voters. and if not answered by politicians, they are dangerous, it produces much more extreme parties and measures. fik. extreme parties and measures. 0k. thank ou extreme parties and measures. 0k. thank you for— extreme parties and measures. 0k. thank you for that. because we've got bryan here, i want to focus again on donald trump. closing arguments begin tomorrow in the civil fraud trial, in which donald trump and his sons stand accused of inflating the worth of their business by billions of dollars, for tax and insurance purposes. there was a plan for donald trump to deliver his own closing arguments, which is extremely unusual. thejudge arthur engoron had initially approved that request, but this afternoon he rescinded the order. he said trump would have to limit his remarks to the boundaries that cover attorneys' closing arguments. and perhaps the judge had watched the former presidents comments the former president's comments

after the appeal in washington, on tuesday, and thought better of it. i think they feel this is the way they are going to try to win, and that's not the way it goes. there will be bedlam in the country and i think it's a very bad thing, a very bad precedent. as we said, it is the opening of a pandora's box and that's a very, very sad thing that's happened with this whole situation. when they talk about a threat to democracy, that's your real threat to democracy. there's two things about this, i want to come back to the threat to democracy and a second, its extruder and how he turned the tables onjoe biden. but gary o'donoghue had a interesting thing on the programme, i said he stepped away from the campaign into the courtroom because he raises money off these court appearances. he said, i'm not sure there isn't any separation nowadays, between the campaign and the court appearances? you think he's right, that the campaign want to put donald trump in this setting because it works for him, bryan? it’s trump in this setting because it works for him, bryan?— works for him, bryan? it's a message that works with _

vmcsovsn; bbc news, - bringing you different stories from across the uk. i'm very much a car person. i like the looks of cars, like the engines of cars. i just find them really fascinating. i don't want to stop them enjoying themselves, but this is not a racetrack. the a47 around barwell is one of four racing hot spots identified by leicestershire police. people living here say it's a fatality waiting to happen. i've been down here when those laybys have been full and then another ten, 20 cars up and down, racing at excessive speeds. never seen a speed camera, i've never seen police sat in the layby. i'm just asking the police — what is being done? we have issued a number of warnings and a number of antisocial behaviour notices have gone out to individuals. for more stories . from across the uk, head to the bbc news website.

you're live with bbc news. it is notjust the united states that is voting this year. more than 75 countries will hold national elections, among them the uk, south africa, mexico and india. and policy makers worldwide believe the biggest risk to those elections is artificial intelligence and the spread of misinformation. more than 1,400 experts and leaders, who will gather for the world economic forum in davos next week, say the widespread use of disinformation, and the tools to disseminate it, could well undermine the legitimacy of these newly—elected governments resulting in violent protest and civil confrontation. joining me from geneva is saadia zahidi. she is the managing director at the world economic forum. we've caught her just we've caught herjust before she gets busy next week, thank you so much for coming on the programme. and it's not an abstract threat, is it? there is an exponential rise in

misinformation and now we have better tools to disseminate it. i better tools to disseminate it. i think there's three things happening at the same time. there's of course this backdrop of geopolitical confrontation, then added to that, zero cost or low—cost tools that are it possible to generate content in very large volumes. and then of course we are in the midst of a time of economic hardship for many people and growing societal polarisation in multiple parts of the world, so both of those together creates this very potent mix and create some challenges for elections. this risk list that you _ challenges for elections. this risk list that you produced, _ challenges for elections. this risk list that you produced, the - challenges for elections. this risk list that you produced, the top i challenges for elections. this risk| list that you produced, the top ten global risks, how does this years list compared last year's?- global risks, how does this years list compared last year's? there is a uuite a list compared last year's? there is a quite a lot _ list compared last year's? there is a quite a lot of— list compared last year's? there is a quite a lot of change. _ a quite a lot of change. disinformation was at number 16 last year, and it shot up to number one in that two—year timeframe. in the next ten years, the biggest risks are all related to climate. so it's the possibility of the earth going

past its tipping point in earth's systems, there's a possibility of nature loss, concerns about extreme weather that even in the two—year timeframe comes up as number two on the risk list. and of course that's the risk list. and of course that's the economic crisis, inflation and economic downturn, all of that is still very much part of the top ten this year and the two—year timeframe, but it does appear to be ebbing away in that ten year timeframe.— ebbing away in that ten year timeframe. ~ , ., , ., . ., , timeframe. why do you produce a list like this? what's — timeframe. why do you produce a list like this? what's the _ timeframe. why do you produce a list like this? what's the benefit - like this? what's the benefit of identifying risk in a political socioeconomic setting like devil's? it certainly marked... —— davos. the severity of those risks will be and what will be the likeliness of those

also in developing economies. and that his implications long term for what kind of growth and development pathways were looking at. they're certainly quite a lot of this around the economics.— the economics. 0k, we'll have to leave it there, _ the economics. 0k, we'll have to leave it there, saadia, _ the economics. 0k, we'll have to leave it there, saadia, best - the economics. 0k, we'll have to leave it there, saadia, best of. the economics. 0k, we'll have to i leave it there, saadia, best of luck with the summit next week, i note that 10 three is going to that. bronwen, bryan, thank you for being here. we'll be back the same time next week, i hope you willjoin me. have a good night. hello from the bbc sport centre, i'm gavin ramjaun. just a few moments left in the league cup cup semifinal first leg between liverpool and fulham at anfield. fulham had lost four of their last five away games but went ahead

through willian after 20 minutes. // they managed to keep the hosts at bay until first curtisjones they managed to keep the hosts at bay until first curtisjones and then cody gakpo made it 2—1 to liverpool .they�*re in injury time, liverpool looking good for their advantage, going into the second leg in two weeks' time... as they chase a record extending tenth league cup. both sides made five changes from thir weekend games )> liverpool's rivals everton have paid tribute to their former chairman peterjohnson who's family have announced his passing. he bought a controlling stake in the club in 1994 before selling it to bill kenwright five years later, and was also chairman of tranmere rovers. peterjohnson who has died aged 8a. in the women's game, gemma grainger has stepped down as manager of wales to become head coach of norway. grainger leaves the post after nearly three years, while she joins a team that have previously won both the world cup and the euros. she said she'd had �*no intention to leave, but had been offered an opportunity she couldn't turn down'. mark selby has just beaten and robert milkens in the last

of the first round matches at snooker�*s masters. selby was in total control from the outset. he was four frames to zero up before milkens pulled one back. he closed out the next two, to seal his place in the last eight with no problems. selby looking win his first masters in 11 years. mark allen got the better of two—time champion john higgins from scotland. it went all the way to a deciding frame. the northern irishman allen came through 6—5 — the first time he's made it to the quarter finals, since winning the tournament back in 2018. it was just so nice to try and get over the line, both had a lot of chances, it's not the normal match that me and john have come over both edgy i think because i've lost so many first frames in a row, it meant so much more to me. and i'vejust tried to try and stay clear mentally but i just and tried to try and stay clear mentally but ijust and performed today i'll all. that chance came along, i could've made of it but that's not the way i want to be playing, i want to be scoring, but itjust didn't

come and you have to find a way to win and that's a match i would've lost a couple years ago. just a few days until the first tennis major of the year, the australian open, gets underway. there's plenty of tennis happening on the run up, with qualfiying at melbourne, for the tournament's first round starting on sunday. also action in auckland and adelaide, with high hopes for britain's cam norrie this year, as he won in new zealand. ben croucher reports. back where it all began. cameron norrie grew up in auckland but if he wanted to feel at home against a teenager the frenchman wasn't feeling too hospitable. it took a while for norrie to get going in a 16 game match get going he did taking the first at 6—3. he said the match was exactly what he needed as he stepped up his preparations for the australian open although he might have preferred an earlier night. squandering a match on tiebreak. the second seed beat in the final here last year persevered. next up — a court of final meeting with chile's world number 82.

norrie is assured a spot in the main draw but emma raducanu is first grand slam for a year is uncertain. missed charity match yesterday with soreness, she skipping another exhibition tomorrow. but her participation in the australian open is unlikely to be affected. some brits already in the draw five more hoping to keep alive their hopes ofjoining them on wednesday. 0liver crawford who only last week switched allegiance from the united states saw off belarus is in the first round of qualifying for them was beaten, mixed fortunes on the women's side after 11 straight appearances in the main draw heather watson failed to make the last two as she lost. francesca jones are still in the heart following straight set victories. what did you make of that, fran? haas team principal guenther steiner has left his role with the formula one team. the italian has been one of the most

charismatic bosses in the sport and has been with the team since its inception in 2016. he will be replaced by former director of engineering ayao komatsu. steve smith will replace david warner as australia's test opener, despite having never batted in the position during his career. the former captain will open alongside usman khawaja in the first test against west indies later this month. liverpool and fulham isjust finishing at anfield. it's the first leg of the league cup semi—final. the bbc sport website and app has the latest and will have all the reaction. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. it's been another very cold day wherever you are, whether you've had sunshine or whether you've had cloud, and it looks pretty similar for the next few days, could see a bit more cloud around generally. it will stay dry thanks to high pressure. and there will be some sunshine around, particularly towards southern and western areas. this area of high pressure has been

feeding in quite a bit of cloud to eastern scotland, also eastern parts of england, the odd patch of drizzle at times too. the breeze is still a feature along north sea coasts, but not as strong across southern areas as we head through this evening and overnight. where we have the clear skies it's going to be a cold one. central, northern, western scotland, southern england could be down to —3 to —5 celsius here, but a little less cold where we have the cloud. so tomorrow, then, we start off with some cloud across some eastern areas. again, eastern england seeing most of that cloud, it could run a little bit further southwards into south—east england into the afternoon. so the best of the sunshine towards this south—west corner, maybe northern ireland and plenty of sunshine across scotland after a cold start there with some early mist and fog. temperatures maybe up a degree, eight degrees, but it certainly won't feel like that. then as we move through thursday nights, we see plenty of cloud night, we see plenty of cloud feeding into england and wales, clearer spells across scotland, northern ireland.

so it's here where we'll see the lowest of the temperatures — could be down to —7 celsius. and there's also a threat of some dense fog patches developing as the winds will be lighter here, but less cold further south where we have the cloud. 0ur area of high pressure shifts a little bit, a bit further westwards. it does allow a lot of cloud around for central, southern and eastern parts of the country. certainly rather cloudy for england and wales, could be quite gloomy all day in places. best of the sunshine in scotland, maybe northern ireland, far north of england later in the day, maybe parts of wales too. but cold here after the very cold start, a little less cold further south and east because of more cloud cover. then as we head into the weekend, although southern areas will see quite a bit of sunshine, we'll start to open the floodgate to an arctic northerly and that will start to feed in plenty of snow showers to the northern half of scotland. accumulations really mounting up by the end of the weekend here, but it'll be largely dry, i think, cold with some sunshine across most central and southern parts of the country. we hold onto the cold weather into next week as well. further snow showers in the north and there's just the chance of some more widespread snow developing across central and southern areas around the middle part of the week.

so stay tuned to the forecast — some uncertainty on this.

at ten — a giant step towards justice for hundreds of innocent people caught up in the post office scandal. their convictions for theft and false accounting will be overturned. there's to be an emergency law by the end of the year, allowing victims to receive compensation and rebuild their lives. it would give us pension security.

we are old and decrepit now. we'll be hearing from others whose reputations were destroyed, and analyse how the new law might work. also tonight... after yesterday's dramatic storming of ecuador�*s tv station, we're on the ground as the president says the country is at war with ruthless drug gangs. this storm, which has turned ecuador from one of the safest nations in latin america to one of the most violent, has been brewing for years. the house cut off by last week's floods. we speak to the owner, to see how his homemade flood defences held up. and the sperm whales that organise themselves into clans — with distinctive cultures, and even dialects. and on newsnight at 7.30, we'll

speak life to
