donald trump triumphs in iowa — is it his first step on the road back to the white house? an arctic blast brings snow and ice to the uk with scores of schools closed in scotland and the north west of england. and a better day for the brits down under — emma raducanu bounces back from injury at the australian open. and coming up on bbc news, sarina wiegman signs a new contract with england women until 2027, after being named women's coach of the year at the fifa best awards. good afternoon. victims of the post office scandal have been giving evidence to mps today.

hundreds of sub—postmasters were wrongly proscuted for theft and false accounting over a period of many years. mps cross examined a current boss of fujitsu, the company behind the failed horizon it system — he apologised for its part in the scandal, and said that the company had a "moral obligation" to contribute to compensation for the victims. here's our business correspondent, marc ashdown. no one ever says sorry, not in the way i would like to see sorry. former postmistress jo way i would like to see sorry. former postmistressjo hamilton centre stage today, giving evidence to mps about how she was wrongly convicted for stealing is £36,000 from her post office, her life ruined. it from her post office, her life ruined. , ., ~ , ,, from her post office, her life ruined. , .,~ , ., , ruined. it “ust makes you so angry that ruined. it 'ust makes you so angry that the ruined. itjust makes you so angry that they literally _ ruined. itjust makes you so angry that they literally gaz _ ruined. itjust makes you so angry that they literally gaz let - ruined. itjust makes you so angry that they literally gaz let me - ruined. itjust makes you so angry that they literally gaz let me for i that they literally gaz let me for about _ that they literally gaz let me for about three years and turned me not into a _ about three years and turned me not into a basket case but pretty much. i know _ into a basket case but pretty much. i know a _ into a basket case but pretty much. i know a lot — into a basket case but pretty much. i know a lot of the group and they are literally falling apart waiting

office subsequently, suspect denied. what we didn't find out is who told paula vennells that the horizon system was like fort knox. they say they will contribute to the compensation, it could run to hundreds of millions, but it was easy to come to the same conclusion when you heard from some of the victims. one said getting the compensation has been so torturous that filling out the forms and going back and forth has felt like being tried all over again.— back and forth has felt like being tried all over again. simon, thank ou. tried all over again. simon, thank you- simon _ tried all over again. simon, thank you. simon jack. _ the government's controversial rwanda bill is back before mps in the commons today — and among its critics are two deputy chairmen of the conservative party — lee anderson and brendan clarke—smith. they both say they'lljoin dozens of other tory mps who are ready to challenge the prime minister by backing amendments they say would toughen up the legislation and make it harderfor migrants to appeal against deportation. our political correspondent iain watson is at westminster. iain, how much of a challenge

is rishi sunakfacing from some of his own mps? quite a significant challenge, actually. the conservative divisions will be laid bare in the house of commons later today because it is expected two proposed changes, two amendments from tory rebels will be voted on in the early evening. one of those is designed to say the government can simply ignore international law and anything that comes out of the european court of human rights when it comes to deportations to rwanda. the other would severely limit individual legal challenges against deportation. around 60 conservative mps are backing each of these amendments, including the former prime minister, liz truss. that said, the opposition party will obviously not be backing these amendments so it's highly likely they will be defeated. there will be further attempts to change the bill tomorrow. the big question for the conservative rebels is, if are the changes are defeated, are they

prepared to vote down rishi sunak�*s flagship legislation? the word from downing street is they are confident he will get the bill through tomorrow but it is not politically helpful to have these political divisions played out in public. in the last hour we have had more details about how the government wants to speed up the asylum appeals process. wants to speed up the asylum appeals rocess. ., , wants to speed up the asylum appeals rocess. . , ' z: process. that is right. 150 new 'ud . es process. that is right. 150 new judges are _ process. that is right. 150 new judges are being _ process. that is right. 150 new judges are being appointed, i process. that is right. 150 new i judges are being appointed, they will start sitting from the summer. 25 more courtrooms have been made available to hear these asylum appeals and 100 more support staff. what the government is doing here is to try and address concerns by some of the conservative rebels that people will simply clog up the courts with legal challenges to rwanda, flights will either be delayed or never take off. but quite frankly i don't think this will be enough to win many of them over because they will also be backing proposed changes to this bill, that will say all individual appeal shouldn't be allowed at all. thank ou. our shouldn't be allowed at all. thank you. our political—

shouldn't be allowed at all. thank you. our political correspondent, | you. our political correspondent, iain watson. well, the rwanda policy will be a key part of the conservative party campaign for the next general election, which is almost certain to be later on this year. today, analysis of the new boundaries for parliamentary constituencies suggests that labour will need to achieve a record swing at the election to win a majority in the house of commons. on the redrawn electoral map, wales and scotland will have fewer seats, while some parts of england will have more. our bbc verify correspondent, nick eardley has more, nick. hello. let's start with the changes you were just talking about to the electoral map. you can see them here. scotland losing two seats, wales is losing eight, they are going to the south of england instead. this is because of population changes. the map is always controversial. today's analysis suggests this makes things harderfor analysis suggests this makes things harder for labour. analysis suggests this makes things harderfor labour. firstly, if this map had been in place at the last

election in 2019, the conservatives would have won seven more seats. what about the next election? it makes labour's job what about the next election? it makes labour'sjob harder, too. lets put in some historic context. this is 1979, margaret thatcher's first election win. as you can see, their swing from labour to the conservatives was 5.4%, pretty big. 1997, the famous labour landslide under tony blair. the swing then was 10.2%. so here is a sense ofjust how big keir starmer�*s challenge is. that is the swing he needs to win a majority, 12.7%. it is massive. that would be the biggest swing everfrom the conservatives to labour. even to become the biggest party, labour would need a swing of 8.3%, although thatis would need a swing of 8.3%, although that is far from ideal for sir would need a swing of 8.3%, although that is farfrom idealfor sir keir because he would need other parties to help him stay in power. the next question, is this possible? if you believe the polls, it might be. look

at this poll tracker. it shows labour miles ahead of the conservatives and all the recent polls. that is roughly a 15% swing. so it would be enough, if that happened, for a labour majority. a quick caveat, all these calculations are based on the same swing across great britain. in practice, things are more complicated. labour can make thejob easier are more complicated. labour can make the job easier by winning back parts of the central belt of scotland or the old red wall in the north—east of england. but the key thing to take away as this, labour has a huge task on its hands to win power and it would need a massive, probably historic swing to win a majority. ok, nick, thank you very much for all of that. and you can find out more about how labour would need a record swing to win the next general election by visiting bbc.co.uk/news — with information too about the boundary changes

in your constituency. now to politics in the united states. donald trump has won a landslide victory in the first electoral test that he's faced in his bid for a return to the white house. in the iowa caucuses, where republican voters choose who they want to be their presidential candidate. mr trump crushed his main rivals. as you can see, he got more votes than the florida governor ron desantis, and former un ambassador, nikki haley, combined. our correspondent nomia iqbal reports from iowa. # the usa! # for donald trump, winning iowa was important. this was the first official 2024 test of his popularity with republican voters. i really think this is time for everybody, our country, to come together. we want to come together — whether it's republican or democrat, or liberal or conservative — it would be so nice if we could come together and straighten out the world and straighten out the problems.

the big question was always, who would be second place? ron desantis, the florida governor, secured that. because of your support, in spite of all of that that they threw at us, everyone against us, we've got our ticket punched out of iowa. cheering. with nikki haley, the former un ambassador, finishing third. do you want more of the same? crowd: no! or do you want a new generation of conservative leadership? cheering. it gives them both much—needed momentum in a contest that has been dominated by trump. there were concerns the arctic weather conditions might have affected voter turnout. more than 1,600 precincts around the state were voting. it is so bitter cold, so i think some people will do what they can to get out, but we'll see.

but many people were determined to show up. this is how a caucus works. people have turned up at this local high school cafeteria, a precinct, to cast their votes. the votes are then added up and the results read out to them. donald trump has won this precinct. my family are on the other side of town, they're voting trump, everybody i work with is voting trump. yeah, it's... i'm surprised that there's other people that weren't voting for trump, to be honest, but that's my narrow—minded thinking, i guess. winning iowa is only the first step in securing the republican presidential nomination. the official winner won't be announced until the summer. it's a marathon, not a sprint. thank you very much, everybody. and with the starting gun fired, donald trump has pulled way ahead in the race. nomia iqbal, bbc news, iowa. the met office has issued yellow weather warnings for snow and ice all over the uk, as temperatures fell below freezing overnight.

it's because of a cold spell fuelled by wintry arctic air, which is set to continue throughout today and this week. travel disruption is likely, especially in north—west england and scotland. more than 100 schools have been closed. rowan bridge is in chorley. how is it there? the met office say we are gripped by an arctic plunge at the moment and you can see the consequences of that around me here in lancashire. in fact, much of the north west of england woke up to similar scenes this morning. it may well look picturesque but it has brought its fair share of disruption in its wake as well. across merseyside, more than 20 schools have been close this morning. there had been a handful of closures here and i'm sure as well, with others opening later in the day than normal. that has provided an

unexpected snow day for some schoolchildren who didn't expect a day off but more of a headache for their parents who have had to deal with the disruption. that disruption has also spread to the road as well. on the m61 motorway which runs between greater manchester and up through lancashire, it was down to two lanes in places for parts of this morning and police have warned of dangerous driving conditions in some places. as you were saying, the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for snow and ice which covers scotland, northern ireland, parts of northern wales as well for the rest of today. scotland is in fact expected to see some of the worst of the weather, up to ten centimetres of snow may fall on higher ground there. there have also been significant school closures across scotland. in shetland, all of the schools there have been shut, more than 50 closures across the highlands and aberdeenshire also effected as well. on the roads in scotland, transport scotland say

they had gritters out overnight to dry minimise the levels of disruption but it is worth noting that the temperature so far this week have been around 5—6 degrees below what we would expect for this time of year. but looking ahead, it will get even colder. there is expected to be a widespread frost tomorrow, the temperature is widely minus five celsius and could go as low as —10 degrees centigrade in some places. so definitely going to be a cold one for the next few days. try and get somewhere a bit warmer. thank you very much indeed. the time is 13:17. our top story this afternoon... victims of the post office scandal give evidence to mps and hear an apology from fujitsu, the company behind the fautly horizon computer system. —— the faulty horizon. and coming up... success for succession — one of the big winners at last night's emmys.

coming up on bbc news: cameron norrie is one of four british players who have made it through to the second round of the australian open, joining emma raducanu, jack draper and katie boulter. hospital staff in west yorkshire say they're seeing more injuries inflicted with machete style weapons. doctors at leeds general infirmary say the large blades cause complex wounds and result in significant trauma for both the victims and those who come to their aid. our correspondent emma glasbey has spent three weekends at the hospital's major trauma centre to see the reality facing their medical teams — just to warn you may find parts of her report distressing. siren wails. phone rings. you all right, love? the knife crime battle facing our doctors and nurses.

just sit forwards. let's make sure we're not missing any stab wounds at the back. this is the major trauma centre in leeds. they see knife wounds here every week, sometimes every day. am i dying? no, you're not. you sure? we just need to sort yourface out, love. the bbc has been spending time at leeds general infirmary, because medics want to show what it's like on the front line. i feel like it's something that needs to be dealt with and sorted out, and something really, really needs to change. saturday night. the trauma team's getting ready for a patient who's on the way. the man has several wounds across his face. you said you've had a fight with someone? you're guessing it was a knife? sliced my face. fine, ok. any injuries anywhere else? fortunately, there are no other stab wounds on his body, but he's clearly in pain and will need surgery. he's a chap that, hopefully,

has been quite lucky. so his injuries are all facial injuries without any sort of significant injury to his chest, his abdomen, his pelvis. so while there might be some cosmetic damage, we're hoping that the maxillofacial surgeons can suture all that back together. for emergency staff in west yorkshire, dealing with stabbings is not unusual. seeing children with knife wounds is not as rare as it once was. tonight, a 14—year—old has come in with injuries possibly inflicted with a machete. the wounds are not too deep, but he does have a fracture on his leg. he's told staff he doesn't know who is responsible. we're seeing increasingly now that young people are advising us that they don't know the assailants. and although it's not that we don't believe them, but sometimes we wonder whether actually they do, but they're scared to tell us who these people actually are. these medics are probably the ones

getting the clearest picture on what's really happening with knife crime and how it may be changing over time. most of them are machete crimes. it's a large single blade knife, which is quite heavy on its own, is what people seem to be using now. medical trauma? it's now friday night and there's an alert about a stabbing, this time in pontefract. ricky was stabbed in the stomach on a night out. after an operation to close the wound, the next day, he's recovering on a hospital ward. i weren't in pain, but the adrenaline kept me going until i actually realised how much pain i were in. as soon as the adrenaline had gone out, i were in a lot of pain then. when you see it on telly and you think "that'll never happen "on our street," or "that'll never happen in ourtown," just being a quiet town, small town, not like a city.

it can happen anywhere. if people need to carry knives, i just think they're cowards. the bbc spent three weekends at the lgi and saw knife injuries on each of those weekends. the impact on all those affected is impossible to measure. emma glasby, bbc news, leeds. there's a bbc documentary about this issue. it's called on the front line, the knife crime emergency — and you can watch it now on the iplayer. the uk covid public inquiry has begun its first hearings in edinburgh, where it will scrutinise how the scottish government reacted to the pandemic. among those due to be called is the former first minister nicola sturgeon. lorna gordon reports. they are the stories of the loss and grief of those who lost loved ones to covid, the personal impact of a

scotland. could anything have been done differently to lessen this impact? the big question this inquiry will be trying to answer. some of the themes which might fit into that were explored in the edinburgh hearings. he posed the question of whether scotland could or should have had better outcomes if it diverged earlier from the uk government approach to logjam restrictions and he also questioned whether uk government policy such as eat out to help out was helpful to scotland. it came in across the uk at a time when covid cases were rising in parts of scotland. he hinted at another theme that might emerge over the next three weeks, pointing out that minutes were not captive key meetings involving the first minister and senior advisers ahead of cabinet meetings in scotland during the covid pandemic. lorna gordon, thank you very much.

in los angeles, sir eltonjohn has won the first emmy award of his career. succession, the hit tv show about the dysfunctional family of a media mogul, took six awards — including best drama for the third time — and the comedy—drama the bear also picked up six awards. the awards ceremony was taking place after a four month delay, because of recent strikes by hollywood actors and writers. emma vardy reports. # temporary lay—offs (good times...)# the good times were back as the biggest names in hollywood gathered to celebrate the best of the small screen. the bear! the bear, a story about a high—end chef in a rundown sandwich shop, won six awards — including outstanding comedy. i just want to thank restaurants as a whole, hospitality as a whole. the big prize sealed with a kiss. succession.

the wind might have been playing havoc with her outfit, but raducanu was breezing into a second set lead, breaking rogers�* serve immediately. this opponent might have been evading capture, but rogers couldn't put up as much of a fight. a double breakdown meant the end was nigh. well, it's a perfect start to life down underfor emma raducanu. signatures, selfies, but most importantly, a smile. raducanu is wearing her battle scars with pride. earlier, there was good news, too, for her compatriots katie boulter and cameron norrie. they beat the heat to book their place in round two, with jack draper winning his first ever five—set match. the tough conditions clearly took a toll as he sprinted straight for the nearest bin. dan evans is unfortunately out, but for raducanu, though there are tougher tests ahead, for now, it's just a joy to be back. natalie pirks, bbc news.
