a former post office investigator has been giving evidence to the post office public inquiry in the uk, dening he and colleagues behaved like "mafia gangsters" towards wrongly accused sub postmasters. closing arguments in the civil fraud trial against donald trump yhavew been taking place in new york. the former president and two of his sons deny hugely exaggerating the value of their properties to secure better loans. to the united states. this is the the scene in new york. we could potentially see donald trump come through those doors and presumably say a few words. if you haven't been

following it today it's the final day in court. this court case is the civil fraud trial of course he's facing a number of court cases at the moment. this is the civilfraud trial in new york. he's accused of inflating the of his assets, actually, the court has already proved that has happened. this is about the size of any potential damages paid for that we're aware that the attorney general in new york is asking to find donald trump $370 million for what she calls the outrages schemes. now donald trump to lyse any wrongdoing in this case and was given a few words to speak in court. —— denies any wrongdoing. we're now waiting to see if he says any more. microphones there as he comes out. just so you know, we will

be keeping across these live images. we will come away from new york right now. as and when donald trump gets to the microphone we will see his reaction to what's been happening we didn't have to wait too long, did wade? let’s happening we didn't have to wait too long. did wade?— long, did wade? let's remember before i walked _ long, did wade? let's remember before i walked into _ long, did wade? let's remember before i walked into court - long, did wade? let's remember before i walked into court we - long, did wade? let's rememberi before i walked into court we had already lost. that was clear in the motion for summaryjudgment. the motion for summary judgment. the four witnesses, motion for summaryjudgment. the fourwitnesses, before motion for summaryjudgment. the four witnesses, before experts and do i think any of it matters? i certainly hope so. for anybody in the courtroom for the last 11 weeks you heard that there was not one fact against president trump. there is not one piece of paper that showed anyone committed fraud for the don't forget that section 6312, the don't forget that section 6312, the consumer fraud statute has been wrongfully used against my client, innocent defendants, the organisation and every employee of

the trump organisation, which is single—handedly changed the new york skyline, including the building we're in today. these are special properties. real estate is an art, not a science. you know what else is an art? do you know what else is not an art? do you know what else is not a science? political motivated individuals. she is using this to paint a individuals. she is using this to painta campus individuals. she is using this to paint a campus that donald trump is a fraudster because they can't beat him in the polls. they can't beat them in the polls so she ran on trump. that was the only way she could win. now today after 11 weeks, after three years we have concluded that he indeed committed no wrong. the trump organisation committed no wrong. the kids have been dragged in just like the other defendants. it is wrong. america needs to step up. there's only one person who can do that, my client, donald trump. president trump, everybody. this

ukraine's war effort. thank you for coming onto the program. we will come back to that issue of russian assets at the moment. there's been a couple of developments in the last few minutes whilst we've been on air we've heard from a spokesperson from the white housein from a spokesperson from the white house in the us talking about effectively grinding to a halt of the finances, the aide and the budget for ukraine. we know that for a while. but no confirmation. just tell us how disappointing that is for you and how much ukraine needs it. . , ., ., it. recently under one of the attacks that _ it. recently under one of the attacks that he _ it. recently under one of the attacks that he faced - it. recently under one of the attacks that he faced my - it. recently under one of the l attacks that he faced my home it. recently under one of the - attacks that he faced my home was damaged and ifelt attacks that he faced my home was damaged and i felt but many people in ukraine feel when there is a huge pile of metal coming from the sky to kill you and everything that you love and work for. it's incredibly hard to continue fighting knowing

that the support is coming. from the other side we're doing everything possible and impossible. you see all the military commanders from the world of plotting to the bravery and technology advance that ukrainian army has. however, we're not able to fight without the support from the west. russia right now has a very strong alliance with iran and north korea. they are supplying drones and missiles and they are coming our way. what is the response from the west? we need air defence systems, west? we need air defence systems, we need weapons and we need the supplies. they are being delayed as well is the support both from you and the united states for the i am here to say the war is not over for them in our chances to win it do not only depend on us but also depend on our ability to persuade politicians in the western democratic countries that it in the western democratic countries thatitis in the western democratic countries that it is a matter of president, a

editor chris mason. uk prime minister rishi sunak preparing to brief senior colleagues in a conference call shortly to cabinet. he understands it relates to the likelihood of the uk and the us military strikes against our country in yemen. this all relates back to the red sea attacks by the houthi rebels in yemen on ships, shipping lanes which is called huge disruption to the global shipping economy but also threats to life and threats to their ships in the people on board in the region. there has been a warning by the uk, us and plenty others against the who these to stop the present action. —— i can't sleep houthi. there will be consequences if they didn't. that was 24 hours ago, specific warnings saying the world should watch this space. we also heard in the last 48

hours from us secretary of state entity blinking saying they wouldn't be drawn on any details but they would be consequences for the actions of these houthi rebels firing at ships in the region put going into details of what those consequences could be, that has been a matter of speculation for the last 48 hours or so. we also understand there is a briefing under way at the pentagon in washington. that is getting under way right now. let's take a quick listen end.— getting under way right now. let's take a quick listen end. putting out a release on _ take a quick listen end. putting out a release on this _ take a quick listen end. putting out a release on this statement i - take a quick listen end. putting outj a release on this statement i would refer you to that. thanks. the pentagon _ refer you to that. thanks. the pentagon asked _ refer you to that. thanks. the pentagon asked spectre general put out a report on shortfalls in tracking _ out a report on shortfalls in tracking some of the age ukraine. how significant of an issue does the pentagon— how significant of an issue does the pentagon view the shortfall and is there _ pentagon view the shortfall and is there any— pentagon view the shortfall and is there any indication of a list of diversions— there any indication of a list of diversions provided so far? we very

conference call by rishi sunak, the prime minister shortly. we understand he is going to talk about theissue understand he is going to talk about the issue of us and uk response to the issue of us and uk response to the houthi rebels actions in the red sea. they have been attacking ships in the area. they have claimed that they are only targeting ships with connections to israel. that hasn't always materialised in that sense. there has of course been a military response primarily from the us but also other naval ships in the area. the top diplomat from the us the secretary of state anthony blinking in the last 24—48 hours promising they would be consequences for the houthi rebels —— anthony blinking. failing to outline exactly what they would be. speculation has been that there be certain military strikes on

through the archive. george was the first meteorologist to step in front of the camera along with tom clifton who brought a more formal approach to the forecast. we've been briefed to be a bit human and i mentioned that tomorrow is going to be a good day for hanging out the washing. this was something that had never been said before. the press really took the stop. and i thought that was a jolly good thing. back then the forecast came courtesy of two charts in a lot of charcoal. it wasn't until 1970 for before the first female weather forecaster barbara edwards graced the air. if you look at the chart you see outbreaks of rain... you look at the chart you see outbreaks of rain. . ._ outbreaks of rain... instantly recognisable _ outbreaks of rain... instantly recognisable symbols - outbreaks of rain... instantly recognisable symbols were l outbreaks of rain... instantly - recognisable symbols were introduced but they didn't always behave themselves. be mad. but then like many presenters they became iconic.

is bbc news. this is bbc news. hello. it has been a cold day again up and down the uk. mostly dry though, thanks to the high pressure and that area of high pressure will be with us again for friday to bring another cold and dry day with variable amounts of cloud, a little bit of sunshine, but there will be quite a bit of cloud around i think through friday across england and wales. best of the clearer spells across scotland and northern ireland with the best of the sunshine. but through tonight, under those clear skies, light wind scotland, northern ireland could see some fog developing and it really will turn quite cold. a sharp frost developing in places particularly central scotland, down to minus eight celsius. but where we have more cloud for england, wales, then it should remain frost free. but it does mean friday will be a rather gray, gloomy morning for england and wales. cold, frosty stuff, crisp start for scotland, northern ireland, best of the sunshine here. stubborn mist and fog could linger all day in places and we could see a few breaks in the cloud further south till off some sunny spells here and there. temperatures again struggling

to get much of a two or three across scotland, seven or eight for england and wales. as we move through friday night, we'll see this weather front bring some patchy rain, maybe some hill snow to northern scotland for a while. elsewhere, it's patchy cloud and clear spells. and where we have clear skies and it'll be frosty where we hold on to the cloud, then frost free. this weather front seen south was weakening into a band of cloud. as we head on into saturday, another one will push into northern scotland to bring further showers here. and then by sunday, much colder air pushes in across northern scotland to bring frequent snow showers. here, it'll turn cold and windy. saturday, then a chilly day to come, variable cloud, the odd spot of rain with those weak weather fronts, some sunny spells here and there temperature wise, generally range between five and eight celsius. as we head into sunday, though, we'll see this weather front sink southwards and weaken. there'll be some patchy rain on it, some sunshine to the south. it turns windy, cold and snowy across northern scotland. these snow showers becoming quite frequent, even down to lower levels.

and there'll be significant accumulations by the end of the day, but less cold in the south. into next week it stays cold across the northern half of the country. further snow showers, maybe even an area of more prolonged snow for a while. then we need to keep an eye on this area of low pressure which could approach the south. if it pushes northwards into the cold air, it's likely that we could see a spell of sleet and snow across the south of the country. but it's quite a lot to play for here, so stay tuned to the forecast.
