and i will not stop now. it's clear to me that a majority of republican primary voters want to give donald trump another chance. nikki haley, nikki haley, nikki haley... do you know they destroyed all the information, all the evidence, everything, they deleted and destroyed all of it. when you're 80, that's - what happens, you're just not as sharp as you used to be. this is not personal. you all know i voted for him twice. the first in the nation primary in new hampshire. our panel tonight ron christie, former senior advisor to president george w. bush and tim allan, former downing street press secretary under tony blair. also sumi somaskanda. first though, the latest bbc news. a us media outlet is reporting israel has given hamas a proposal via mediators that includes an up

to two month pause in fighting. axios news says the multi—phase deal would include the release of all remaining hostages held in gaza. its report cites two unnamed israeli officials. injerusalem, family members of some of the hostages still being held broke through security at the knesset to disrupt a finance meeting. the house of lords has dealt a blow to rishi sunak�*s plan to send some illegal migrants to rwanda. the move was backed by 43 votes to deliver treat with the african nation which paves the way for the scheme to go ahead. legislation was passed in the commons last week, despite threats from some conservative mps to oppose it. two people have died in the high winds brought by storm isha. an 84—year—old man was killed when a car in which he was a passenger was hit by a fallen tree in grangemouth. police in northern ireland say a man in his 60s died in similar circumstances in limavady. the us military says two navy seals

who went missing during a special forces operation to seize iranian weapons from houthi rebels in yemen have been declared dead. they were boarding a vessel when one fell into the water in eight—foot swells and the otherjumped in after him. but we start tonight in new hampshire. just under eight hours until polls open for the republican primary, in what is now officially a head—to—head. here's the weekend polling, which suggests donald trump has stretched his lead over nikki haley to 19 points in the suffolk university poll. ron desantis of course pulling out last night. it's a little bit tighter in the cnn poll, but a seven point gap that we were looking at in this poll last week, is now 11. let's go straight to concorde, new hampshire where our colleague sumi somaskanda has been watching final campaiging. and it really feels like do or die for nikki haley?

it absolutely does, kris jenner. that is the message we have seen from many of his supporters who we met on the campaign trail. she has been holding several events across the state. her campaign says that she has actually planned more than 30 events in just she has actually planned more than 30 events injust this past she has actually planned more than 30 events in just this past week ahead of the primary that is held tomorrow. this is the state where nikki haley has to make a big splash after donald trump had that mammoth victory in iowa. it is interesting that you mention a few polls there, christian. there was a washington poll that said that 52% of potential primary voter support donald trump with 34% backing nikki haley. you can see that why her campaign is really barnstorming for this past week and through today as well. she is holding several events today. another big rally in just a few hours. donald trump will also be holding another rally tonight. a lot is on the line here for nikki haley. she needs to perform well here in order to then move on to south
9:04 pm
carolina after this. and have any chance of to korean republican nomination. what is really interesting is the feeling we are getting here from voters we are speaking to is a feeling of inevitability that donald trump will be the nominee, and in fact i asked the question to converters and supporters of nikki haley, that if donald trump is on the ticket after all this is said and done would you vote for him? and was either no are definitely not. vote for him? and was either no are definitely not-— definitely not. that enthusiasm gap is something _ definitely not. that enthusiasm gap is something we _ definitely not. that enthusiasm gap is something we need _ definitely not. that enthusiasm gap is something we need to _ definitely not. that enthusiasm gap is something we need to look - definitely not. that enthusiasm gap is something we need to look at. i is something we need to look at. let's have a quick look at the number of registered voters in new hampshire and how that splits down. around 40% of them are declared independence. so if nikki haley wants to do well tomorrow night, then she needs to probably win an overwhelming share of that independent ballot and a decent slice of the base. it seems to be that she is struggling with the base. that is where her problem lies. ., , base. that is where her problem lies. . , ., , , ., lies. that is absolutely right. that

uk households are on track for cheaper energy bills in april — according to a new report by a leading forecaster. cornwall insight say the annual bill for the average household is expected to fall by around 16 percent — or three hundred pounds. energy prices have been a centralfactor in the uk's high inflation rate. you're live with bbc news. president donald trump told a rally in new hampshire on friday night that voting for him would "stop an invasion of millions of people from parts unknown. " it forms a key part of the re—election campaign, the need to "preserve the american culture and way of life." that political battle over certain kinds of cultural issues, be it abortion, sexuality, church—state issues, and so on is the "culture war". and really it is about politics. it is about the mobilisation of political resources, of people, of voters, around certain positions on cultural issues. and we have it here in the uk.
9:23 pm
it's a theme that was picked up today by the labour leader sir keir starmer. the tories seem set on sabotaging civil society to save their own skins. they've got themselves so tangled up in culture wars of their own making that instead of working with royal national lifeboat institution — an organisation the late queen was patron of for 70 years — to find real solutions to stop the small boats, their rhetoric has helped demonise them. instead of working with the national trust so more people can learn about and celebrate the culture and our history, they've managed to demean their work in its desperation to cling onto power at all costs. lets keep it swift. if you were to

staying with us. i want to talk about the storms. isha is behind us, jocelyn is on its way. live now to matt taylor, our weather presenter. have we not suffered enough? what is coming now?— coming now? another storm, incredibly _ coming now? another storm, incredibly lively _ coming now? another storm, incredibly lively winter - coming now? another storm, incredibly lively winter here i coming now? another storm, | incredibly lively winter here in coming now? another storm, - incredibly lively winter here in the uk. lots of storms over the christmas period because of high pressure across scandinavia diverting low pressure away from us. the next name storm is coming as well. this was storm isha early run which has now pushed off into scandinavia and is not as much of feature as it was in the uk. but stepping back out we have got that next one brewing. storm jocelyn. on the face of it it looks like it is a bigger storm, the face of it it looks like it is a biggerstorm, but the face of it it looks like it is a bigger storm, but it is a more mature storm. it is past its peak so it won't have the same impact as storm isha. that is the good news of it, but it still will bring some destruction. if ijust run the chart through we will show how the low pressure system centred will push to the north of scotland. we still have widespread gale set to develop
9:27 pm
across the country. it is going to be fit two feature storm. rain across many parts of the uk which could cause flooding across parts of scotland and north and west england and north—west wales. and then the strengthening of winds which will hit widespread gale force. a met office and the warning issue in place. not to the extent that we saw with stormy shadow. that place. not to the extent that we saw with stormy shadow.— with stormy shadow. that is good news that storm _ with stormy shadow. that is good news that storm jocelyn - with stormy shadow. that is good news that storm jocelyn is - with stormy shadow. that is good news that storm jocelyn is past i with stormy shadow. that is good | news that storm jocelyn is past its peak. i have some sympathy with that. what about the storms though? are they stronger than they were is the question a lot of people are asking. the question a lot of people are askint. , . , asking. they are indeed, it is difficult to — asking. they are indeed, it is difficult to quantify. - asking. they are indeed, it is difficult to quantify. last - asking. they are indeed, it is| difficult to quantify. last year asking. they are indeed, it is - difficult to quantify. last year we had no storms at all during the entirety of autumn, winter, spring. this year a little bit of an anomaly in that we have seen a lot more. there is no real evidence to show the storms are getting stronger but with the climate warming up it does show that they have more in the way of rainfall and that is going to have a greater impact for flooding in the years ahead.— have a greater impact for flooding in the years ahead. obviously when eo - le talk in the years ahead. obviously when people talk about _ in the years ahead. obviously when people talk about this, _ in the years ahead. obviously when people talk about this, we - in the years ahead. obviously when people talk about this, we always i people talk about this, we always characterise it in the debate about

9:29 pm
the winds would be quite a strong with storm jocelyn and we don't expect the same impact, it could still have more of an impact than it perhaps would have done if we had notjust in such a vicious storm work its way through. anything that is loose around the house or garden, make sure that is put away and of course anything that looks a little bit unsafe at the moment, ensure thatis bit unsafe at the moment, ensure that is hold—up ready for the approaching of the storm which is going to come in stages through tuesday. rain first of all and then of course we have to mention the rain because we saw so much flooding over the christmas period. the rain is focused on a different area this time. here we could see those river levels rise. the wins again are probably enough for most of us and there is further wet and windy river through the rest of the week but not quite as bad as we started. matt through the rest of the week but not quite as bad as we started.— quite as bad as we started. matt at the weather _ quite as bad as we started. matt at the weather centre. _ quite as bad as we started. matt at the weather centre. thank - quite as bad as we started. matt at the weather centre. thank you - quite as bad as we started. matt at| the weather centre. thank you very much for that. we will keep our eye on the weather. hello, i'm christian fraser.
