and just a little note to nikki. she's not going to win. royal mail could reduce the number of days it delivers letters from six per week to five or even three, under proposals to reform the service. and a former cabinet minister calls on rishi sunak to stand down, or face a "massacre" at the next general election. hello, i'm nicky schiller. we start in the us, where donald trump has won a key victory in the race to be the republican party's presidential nominee. the former president won the new hampshire primary. the result puts him in a commanding position. presidentjoe biden — who's standing for re—election for the democrats — says it's clear mr trump will be the candidate.

mr trump's last remaining rival nikki haley conceded defeat but has vowed to fight on. we start with this report from our north america correspondent, nomia iqbal. it was an election result donald trump accepted. well, i want to thank everybody. this is a fantastic state. this is a great, great state. new hampshire gave him a big win, but not a blowout, leaving his rival, nikki haley, still on for the fight to secure the republican party's presidential nomination. well, i'm a fighter... cheering. and i'm scrappy. and now we're the last ones standing next to donald trump. that was a comment that trump really didn't like. and she was up and i said, "wow, she's doing like a speech like she won." she didn't win, she lost.

the race to win new hampshire was seen as a real test for donald trump's strength. nearly 40% of people here are independent voters. at this polling station, voters were greeted by others, making their points loud and clear. amongst them, glenn, who arrived early. nikki haley, who i support, is a good person, who, while i don't agree with all of her — her conservative views — i'm sort of half liberal, half conservative. she's a strong person. but sue is no fan of nikki haley. she thinks she'd be nowhere without trump, who once appointed her un ambassador. there is something to be said for loyalty. you don't see nikki haley as loyal. i don't. give him a shot. give him the the second term that he deserved, frankly. it's interesting you're both here and getting on very well. very well. i even made him hot chocolate. two different opinions,

two very different votes, but friendly neighbours in the snow. voters in new hampshire here play an outsized role in deciding presidential nominees. that's despite it being one of the smallest states in the country. mark is a registered republican, who is voting for nikki haley. if trump were to win, i would be worried for the future of the nation. we'll see you on the trail. donald trump's path to the republican presidential nomination may be clearer, but to return to the white house, he'll likely face joe biden, the man who beat him at the ballot box four years ago. nomir iqbal, bbc news, new hampshire. so, what happens next? well there is a line—up of republican primary elections and caucuses across the country stretching into june. the contest for the republican presidential campaign will now move on to nevada on february 8th. before moving on to haley's home state of south carolina for the next major showdown on february 24th.

from there the race broadens across the nation — with super tuesday on march 5th when the largest number of states hold their primaries and caucuses. live now to natasha lindstaedt, professor at the department of government at the university of essex. thank you forjoining us. mr trump won in iowa and has won a game, he will be the republican candidate, isn't he? he will be the republican candidate, isn't he? , ., ., , ., isn't he? he is going to be, for sure. isn't he? he is going to be, for sure- this _ isn't he? he is going to be, for sure. this was _ isn't he? he is going to be, for sure. this was a _ isn't he? he is going to be, for sure. this was a closer - isn't he? he is going to be, for sure. this was a closer win - isn't he? he is going to be, for sure. this was a closer win byl isn't he? he is going to be, for- sure. this was a closer win by only 11 points in new hampshire. he won by over 30 points in iowa and there has never been any republican candidate that has lost both iowa and new hampshire and then went on to get the nomination. he has an overwhelming support from evangelical voters, some 74% or something like that, and his base

just always shows up to vote which is important in the primary is because it is usually lower voter turnout in the primaries and more extreme and passionate voters that come out of it, so with this victory in new hampshire it was probably closer than he would have liked, but he is the nominee and he has been acting like it and he seems almost annoyed that nikki haley is still the rice. in annoyed that nikki haley is still the rice. , , , . . , the rice. in his speech he really seemed annoyed _ the rice. in his speech he really seemed annoyed that - the rice. in his speech he really seemed annoyed that nikki - the rice. in his speech he really l seemed annoyed that nikki haley the rice. in his speech he really - seemed annoyed that nikki haley had vowed to fight on.— vowed to fight on. definitely. that has to do with _ vowed to fight on. definitely. that has to do with the _ vowed to fight on. definitely. that has to do with the fact _ vowed to fight on. definitely. that has to do with the fact that - vowed to fight on. definitely. that has to do with the fact that he - has to do with the fact that he really demands personal loyalty to him. traditionally in some sort of speech after you win a primary you would think the voters of new hampshire but instead he went on to attack her, to call her delusional, he said she was an impostor and he seemed really irritated by this and this is also something nikki haley is relishing and she is hoping she can get under his nerves and under his skin and maybe he will make some sort of gaffe and maybe she will

pull out some kind of victory in her home state of carolina but she is 30 points down. home state of carolina but she is 30 points down-— points down. how realistic is it for her to no points down. how realistic is it for her to go on. _ points down. how realistic is it for her to go on, what _ points down. how realistic is it for her to go on, what is _ points down. how realistic is it for her to go on, what is her- points down. how realistic is it for| her to go on, what is her strategy? good question. she did well with moderate voters in new hampshire, 73% of moderate republicans there, she does well with independents, some states people can register to vote on the primary even if they may not be republican. she will have to hope that moderates and the more affluent educated republicans and people who don't like donald trump will come to vote in these families. thus far she made a good showing in new hampshire but it was the perfect state for her. it had the most independent and libertarian and well educated republicans there and she didn't win there, so she will have to pull out a miracle if she is able to pull out a miracle if she is able to somehow change the momentum here. it would be embarrassing for her if she didn't do well in south carolina because that is her home state. it

would be but it is a very conservative state, a lot of evangelical voters, she doesn't tend to do well with the more religious voters. she doesn't have the endorsement of senator tim scott who decided to put his support behind donald trump. i would think that would really enter campaign but she seems to be incredibly optimistic. she pointed out the fact that in august in new hampshire she was pulling at 4% and she ended up winning 43%, so maybe she feels like she has to go on, that she might yield to track more moderates as the campaign goes on but i really think her campaign would have to end after carolina if she doesn't pull out a victory. carolina if she doesn't pull out a victo . �* , . , , carolina if she doesn't pull out a victo . �* , ., , , , , victory. let's assume it is trump versus biden. — victory. let's assume it is trump versus biden, would _ victory. let's assume it is trump versus biden, would president i victory. let's assume it is trump i versus biden, would president but i don't relish that, does he want to face trump? i don't relish that, does he want to face trump?— don't relish that, does he want to face trump? i think he knows he is auoin to face trump? i think he knows he is going to face _ face trump? i think he knows he is going to face trump, _ face trump? i think he knows he is going to face trump, this - face trump? i think he knows he is going to face trump, this is - face trump? i think he knows he is going to face trump, this isjust i face trump? i think he knows he is going to face trump, this isjust a l going to face trump, this is just a foregone conclusion here. the bigger problem is that us citizens are not

excited about this line up at all. there is very low levels of enthusiasm for a rematch of 2020. a majority of voters view both candidates as too old, particularly joe biden. cracker we got a really crazy ten months ahead of us as we just don't know what will happen with all donald trump's legal battles, will the economy improved, what will happen in terms of foreign policy, but i think biden knows he will have to face trump and he believes even though he is not building particularly well, especially in swing states, believes he has the best chance of beating trump. he has the best chance of beating trum -. . ., he has the best chance of beating trum. . ~' ,, he has the best chance of beating trum. . ~ i. ., ., he has the best chance of beating trum. . ,, ., ., , he has the best chance of beating trum. . ,, ,, ., ., , . trump. thank you for “oining us and we will follow h trump. thank you for “oining us and we will follow those — trump. thank you forjoining us and we will follow those crazy _ trump. thank you forjoining us and we will follow those crazy ten - we will follow those crazy ten months here on bbc news. here in the uk, royal mail could reduce the number of days it delivers letters from six per week to five or even three, under proposals to reform the service. the regulator, 0fcom, has set out the options. at the moment royal mail is legally obliged to deliver letters six days a week,

something its owners say is unaffordable and unsustainable. dame melanie dawes, chief executive of 0fcom, says that their report starts a conversation around royal mail deliveries. we have done a lot of consumer research and what people have said, and we're publishing this today, that what they prize above all is affordability and reliability. they want to know that when they buy a stamp and post a letter it's going to arrive on time. and for that, and businesses increasingly are prepared to trade how long it takes, at the same time we are always going to need that first class overnight service for emergencies, or for things that really matter like medical appointments that have to get to you the next day. so it's going to be a balance of things we need. and that's why we are opening up a conversation today. we have set out a lot of research, as you would expect from 0fcom, but we are also asking a lot of questions and some decisions, like the number of days a week, going from six to five, saturday deliveries, which has been much discussed

in the last few days, those are questions for ministers and parliament and we do very much set that out in our report. the government minister responsible for the post office, kevin hollinrake, rejected the idea of a reduction in the six—day service. i do understand that volumes have decreased significantly. but nevertheless, a six day service is really important for our citizens, but also for businesses that rely on saturday deliveries, not least the magazine sector and the greeting card sector. so we should have a debate about this and that's what 0fcom has suggested we do, but there are no clear plans in how reform might take place. a national conversation about the kind of service people want to see is welcomed, but the saturday deliveries are sacrosanct in our view. live now to nick pendleton, a former director of strategy and innovation at royal mail. thank you forjoining us. good i start by asking you for your reactions to the proposals 0fcom

more addresses. that doesn't subtly cover the cost. the more addresses. that doesn't subtly cover the cost.— cover the cost. the minister says he would reject — cover the cost. the minister says he would reject the _ cover the cost. the minister says he would reject the idea _ cover the cost. the minister says he would reject the idea of _ cover the cost. the minister says he would reject the idea of reducing - would reject the idea of reducing from six days a week but viewers have been saying to us they are not even getting a six day service at the moment. even getting a six day service at the moment-— even getting a six day service at the moment. ~ . , . . the moment. what is important and i think 0fcom — the moment. what is important and i think 0fcom have _ the moment. what is important and i think 0fcom have published - the moment. what is important and i think 0fcom have published research| think 0fcom have published research on this, it is consistent throughout the year, people want quality of service, something guaranteed and affordable. they don't necessarily always needed next day, so the challenge for everyone to work together where there it is the government, royal mail, 0fcom, the unions, how you have a sustainable quality service people can rely on that we can afford. every country in the world is going through these debates. it the world is going through these debates. , ., ., debates. it is not unique to the uk. i have a friend _ debates. it is not unique to the uk. i have a friend in _ debates. it is not unique to the uk. i have a friend in the _ debates. it is not unique to the uk. i have a friend in the us _ debates. it is not unique to the uk. i have a friend in the us who - debates. it is not unique to the uk. i have a friend in the us who says l i have a friend in the us who says prices keep going up there and in europe, germany, france, they have different ways of dealing with this, don't like? we

life are none of those opportunities will necessarily deliver the revenue that fills that gap of half of the parcels volume disappearing so we need to be realistic. it needs to be a combination of lots of things to keep this company sustainable. thank ou. a former cabinet minister has called on rishi sunak to be replaced as prime minister. sir simon clarke — a close ally of the former prime minister liz truss — wrote in the telegraph newspaper that unless the conservatives found a new leader they will be "massacred" at the general election. live now to our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. so you are a political geek, for people who aren't aware, who is simon clarke? simon clarke is a conservative mp and a former cabinet minister. there has been so much churn in the conservative ranks over the last few years but quite a lot of people have

beenin years but quite a lot of people have been in the cabinet but simon clarke was levelling up secretary for the seven weeks liz truss was prime minister, but also he was chief secretary to the treasury, also a cabinet level position, under boris johnson. when he was chief secretary to the treasury he was essentially number two to the chancellor. the chancer at that point was rishi sunak. the pair of them never got on especially well, they see things very different politically, simon clarke then backed liz truss against rishi sunak the leadership, all of which is to say simon clarke not be a big fan of rishi sunak, we all knew that in westminster, a long—standing thing. what is new todayis long—standing thing. what is new today is him saying publicly in very colourful language that rishi sunak should be replaced as conservative party leader. that is new and very dramatic, just a second conservative mp publicly to call for a change of leadership and the big question todayis leadership and the big question today is are there more who agree with him? i today is are there more who agree with him? . , today is are there more who agree with him? ., ., today is are there more who agree with him? . , ., ., today is are there more who agree with him? ., ., ., . .

conservative mps, 15% of conservative mps, 15% of conservative mps, 15% of conservative mps, submit letters of no confidence in rishi sunak�*s leadership, they would be a ballot of all conservative mps about whether rishi sunak should continue as conservative party leader and crucially those 53 letters can be private. we will never know unless the mps choose to publicly disclose that they have submit those letters, how many have submitted the letters until 53 has hit if it ever is and we will never know who submitted them, so both theresa may and boris johnson ended up having that threshold hit, confidence votes in their leadership, but we never knew who had submitted the letters. so that can happen in private even if publicly it looks like simon clarke is relatively out on a limb going for a change of leadership. i know ou will for a change of leadership. i know you will keep _ for a change of leadership. i know you will keep your _ for a change of leadership. i know you will keep your ear _ for a change of leadership. i know you will keep your ear to - for a change of leadership. i know you will keep your ear to the - you will keep your ear to the ground. thank you forjoining us. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. the body that looks into potential wrongful convictions

was warned it could have missed important dna evidence in rape cases a year after first rejecting andy malkinson's appeal. mr malkinson's conviction wasn't overturned until a decade later and his lawyers say the criminal cases review commission report means he could have been exonerated earlier. police have shot a dog dead after reports of it attacking a man in hamilton in scotland. officers were called to the tinto view area of the town on tuesday to deal with the "dangerously out—of—control" animal. the man was taken to hospital with "serious injuries" following the incident, which involved a "large bulldog—type dog". almost 10 million people in england now can't access free earwax removal services on the nhs. the hearing loss charity rnid warned that some people are resorting to "dangerous self—removal methods" if they can't afford to go private. the government says patients can still be referred by their gp if the problem is linked to hearing loss.

you're live with bbc news. some breaking news coming in on the israel, gaza war, and a senior palestinian official familiar with the ceasefire negotiations has told the ceasefire negotiations has told the bbc that caro has offered hamas delegation a new proposal to stop the war and we have those pictures we just showed you. they are in madrid, which is in spain of course, and you canjust madrid, which is in spain of course, and you can just see, above our bbc news there, you can see a yellow banner that actually says ceasefire now, not very clear on our picture at the moment but it is on a building which is a museum in the centre of madrid and we understand it is greenpeace activists that are hanging that banner. you can see it there. the two activists hanging off

there. the two activists hanging off the art museum in the centre of madrid. they have ceasefire now and that poster which says can you hear us? those two people which have received by the looks of managed to attach themselves to wires or cables on the madrid museum and have managed to unfurl that yellow banner that says ceasefire now, and can you hear us? we will keep an eye on that in terms of what goes on in madrid. a senior palestinian official familiar with the ceasefire negotiations has told the bbc that cairo has offered a hamas delegation a new proposal to stop the world. it is understood it consists of five stages starting with the humanitarian truce during which hamas would release the remaining civilian hostages including women, children and the elderly in exchange for israel increasing aid and releasing some palestinian detainees of the same category.

live now tojerusalem, we can speak to middle east correspondent yolande knell. what more can you tell us about this breaking news? we what more can you tell us about this breaking news?— what more can you tell us about this breaking news? we knew there were serious talks — breaking news? we knew there were serious talks going _ breaking news? we knew there were serious talks going on _ breaking news? we knew there were serious talks going on via _ breaking news? we knew there were serious talks going on via cattery, i serious talks going on via cattery, and egyptian mediators with us involvement as well to try to bring about a new hostage release deal, and you ceasefire deal. what we have heard from a senior palestinian source knowing there is a hamas delegation in cairo talking to egyptian intelligence is i have had a proposalfor these egyptian intelligence is i have had a proposal for these five stages that you started laying out there, the first one sounds quite like what we saw back in november when we had a renewable ceasefire in exchange for the release of many of the hostages being held by hamas in gaza and palestinian prisoners being released from israeli jails in batches. this would work towards we understand a fifth stage which would be a long—term cessation of

hostilities. what we understand all palestinian source who has been speaking to us is the big difference remains at the moment between the two sides when israeli forces would withdraw from the gaza strip, because the suggestion onto what the egyptians have laid out as they would stay in until the final stages and hamas has been rejecting that and hamas has been rejecting that and wants them to come out early at. on the diplomatic front the british 0n the diplomatic front the british foreign secretary lord david cameron is in the region today, isn't he? iie is in the region today, isn't he? he is, is in the region today, isn't he? he: is, back for the third time in two months. lord cameron will be meeting israeli leaders, and palestinian leaders in the occupied west bank and travelling to qatar and turkey as well. we are told he will be pushing while he is here to have an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, a sustainable ceasefire in the longer term and that he will be asking for a lot more to be done to get aid into gaza. he says that is something thatis into gaza. he says that is something that is desperately needed and the

uk along with un agencies has been pushing for things like the opening up pushing for things like the opening up of the ashdod port in israel for aid, to be able to go through the crossing, before the war, the main crossing, before the war, the main crossing point for goods going into gaza through israel. at the moment there is only aid from egypt going in there. these are the kinds of small details mr cameron will be talking about that could have a big difference in the longer term. part of the ongoing ceasefire negotiations as well involve the idea of getting more aid into the gaza strip. we are told that particularly in the north right now the situation is really desperate. the world food programme says it is getting worse by the date, that when it comes to starvation it really is looking catastrophic for some people and we are hearing reports from the north of gaza that people have resorted to eating animal feed because they can't find proper food for the children.—

for the children. thank you for “oininr for the children. thank you for joining us _ for the children. thank you for joining us from _ for the children. thank you for joining us from jerusalem. - for the children. thank you for joining us from jerusalem. i i for the children. thank you for i joining us from jerusalem. i will take you back to those live pictures from spain, madrid, where there has been a protest to do with the israel, gaza war and there is a big banner that has been unfurled called ceasefire now. what looks like happening is the authorities are now in a cherry picker and have gone up. those two people either side are we believe greenpeace activists who have unfurled that ceasefire now banner on a museum in a centre of madrid. we will keep an eye on that and bring you more on that as we get it here on bbc news, but there you can see there is definitely a cherry picker there going up, past those protesters, the activists hanging that ceasefire now poster on the side of the madrid museum. this is the reina sofia art museum, if you have ever visited it is you will

know one of the biggest tourist attractions in the country, there is also a can you help us now banner on there as well. we can now see there are four protesters, activists, hanging there with that banner that you can see. we believe there are probably officials in the cherry picker going up to probe we talk to them or try and find out, whether they will try and get them to come down but they will need to do that safely, of course. we have got the live picture from madrid. these are activists, greenpeace activists, that have hung a ceasefire now banner on a museum in the centre of madrid. we will of course keep you updated with that here on bbc news. hello again. storm jocelyn fairly packed a punch as it moved across our shores through the course of last night and this morning. to give you an idea of the some

of gusts of wind that we had, in capel curig, a gust of 97 miles an hour was recorded, south uist, 7a miles an hour, and northolt in southern england, 5a mile an hour gusts. now, this is storm jocelyn here. this area of low pressure is pulling away. and as it does so, look at the isobars, they are still squeezed across the north and the east, but they open out across the south and the west. so basically that means the wind will ease from the south and the west. and it's still going to be pretty windy through the course of the day across the north and the east in particular. a lot of dry weather around today as well, some hazy sunshine. but later on, what you'll find is a new weather front will bring in some cloud and some patchy rain and drizzle and temperatures down a touch on yesterday. as we head on through the evening and overnight period, under clear skies in the north, we'll have a touch of frost, the risk of ice, some mist and fog for a time. but a weather front pushing steadily northwards is going to introduce more cloud and also this rain and drizzle and murky conditions following behind in the south—west.

but here we're importing milder air and that milder air is coming in on the south—westerly wind behind this warm front, which is pushing northwards. so the south—westerly wind's a mild direction. and you can see how the milder conditions push across the whole of the british isles as we go through the course of tomorrow as represented by the yellows. as well as that, it's going to be a fairly cloudy day tomorrow for most, with the rain continuing to advance northwards. still hanging on to the murky low cloud, hill fog, for example, coastal fog in the south—west with some showers around as well, but much milder than we're looking at today. we've got temperatures ranging largely from 10 to 13 degrees. then as we head on into friday, the wintry showers to start with in the west peter out as a ridge of high pressure starts to build in. but for many of us, it's going to be a sunny day, a fine day and settled, and it will also feel fresher, the temperatures slipping down once again. then as we move on into the weekend, a slight change in the forecast in that it's looking drier and a bit

more settled now. however, we are expecting further wet and windy weather at times across the north and the west.

this is bbc news, the headlines: donald trump wins the republican presidential primary in new hampshire, beating his last remaining rival nikki haley.

royal mail's regulator suggests reducing letter deliveries from six days to either five or three — a move that could save the service up to £650 million. and a former cabinet minister calls on rishi sunak to stand down, or face a "massacre" at the next general election. i want to bring you some breaking news from russia. it is the defence ministry being quoted by the ria news agency that an military transport plane has crashed in the belogrod region and 65 prisoners of war, six crew members and three other people were on board. we don't know whether anybody has survived that or if they have, as i say it is
