really interesting story coming up on that. before we get to ecuador, let's go to the bbc sport centre. jurgen klopp has been explaining at length, the thinking behind his decision to leave liverpool at the end of the season. the german still has another two years left on his contract but he says he just doesn't have the energy levels he says he told the club last november that he would be leaving in the summer. two important things they had to do was to tell, of course have to tell them but our supporters and the players and to play was top. and really good and i don't say things like that and walk away but i am here and i am fully here and besides that, it's just the right thing to do

and i am convinced in the right moment because the club meets time to plan the future while we are solving the present. their first theirfirst game their first game following the announcement will be on sunday, continuing, five premier league teams are attempting to make the last 16. two of them are meeting in north london. spurs against manchester city, one of the blockbuster ties of the weekend. so far, goalless at the stadium. it has beenjust one goal far, goalless at the stadium. it has been just one goal in the game and the second tier, victor with the first goal of the night. aston villa thought they got ahead of chelsea but their goal was disallowed because of a handball. goal is between bristol city and nottingham forest. ——goaless between bristol city and nottingham forest.

klopp�*s unexpected announcement caught everyone by surprise. over at melbourne park there was another shock as 10—time champion novak djokovic was knocked out of the australian open. he lost in four sets to italian fourth seed jannik sinner — it's his first defeat there since 2018. sinner is through to his first grand slam final where he'll face daniil medvedev. when i play against him, before that, it is a tough match, but grand slam is different. it was a tough match, especially when i lost the third set with match points. ijust tried to stay as positive as possible and it went my way today so i'm really happy. fine possible and it went my way today so i'm really happy-— i'm really happy. one day it was auoin to i'm really happy. one day it was going to happen. _ i'm really happy. one day it was going to happen, you _ i'm really happy. one day it was going to happen, you know, - i'm really happy. one day it was going to happen, you know, at. i'm really happy. one day it was - going to happen, you know, at least i gave _ going to happen, you know, at least i gave everything i possibly can under— i gave everything i possibly can under the — i gave everything i possibly can under the circumstances where i didnl— under the circumstances where i didn't play— under the circumstances where i didn't play well and i lost to a player— didn't play well and i lost to a player that has a very good chance to win _ player that has a very good chance to win his— player that has a very good chance to win his first slam. daniil medvedev recovered from two sets down to beat alexander zverev in the early hours of the morning in melbourne.

the match lasted over four hours — he's through to the final for the third time. first final is, i think it is always different for everyone. i'm sure some guys went out on the first final and felt so good, theyjust managed to win it. there are probably these stories. some would go and it would be tough mentally and they would lose. so i have no idea how he's going to be, but me myself, i have this experience. i will try my best, i will fight for my life. we will see who wins. india are in control against indy after day two of the first test in the first test against india in hyderabad the hosts have a first innings lead of 175 runs at the end of day two. it started well for england. joe root took a wicket with his part time spin in the first over of the day, yashasvi jaiswal out for 80. after struggling in his first day of test cricket, he picked up two wickets himself. but almost all of india's batsmen made contributions,

and ravindra jadeja was still there — unbeaten on 81 at the end as india closed on a21 for seven. much more on that, and indeed, as you can imagine, christian, and the impending departure. but that is that for now. back to you. thank you very much for that. we've just been talking about the situation in the red sea and whether china might be able to influence iran to reign in the houthis. we have gotten reports that a fuel tanker is on fire, coming from one of the worlds biggest commodity companies. it says the fuel tanker which is flagged in the marshall islands as being struck by a missile as it transited the red sea. there is fire fighting equipment on board this tanker which has been deployed to control a fire, they say, that was caused in one of the cargo tanks on the starboard side of the ship. now, i say it is the a marshall

islands flagship, but in fact the houthis have put out a statement that you will see on social media claiming it to be a british ship, so it's clearly being targeted. and i also told you a little earlier today that the uss carney had brought down one of the ballistic missiles which had been fired in its direction, so clearly a very lively and dangerous situation for shipping that is using that part in the red sea. we will keep an eye on that and maybe get you some reaction to what is coming into us. let's focus on ecuador. ecuador used to be a peaceful, tourist destination, sandwiched between its bigger, more violent neighbours. not any more. it is a country "at war" with the drug—traffickers. earlier this week, the country's military said it seized about 20 tonnes of cocaine —— the biggest haul yet. our analysis editor ros atkins has been looking closer at ecuador�*s incredible descent into chaos. you could be forgiven for asking, what's happened to ecuador? translation: we live in constant|

fear because on a day to day basis, when we go out to work, we don't know if we'll return or if we'll come back home in one piece. this is a story of how one country in south america has been transformed by the trade in cocaine. ecuador sits between colombia and peru with a population of 17 million. it had been stable and safe. not any more. this week, 68 gang members were arrested after they stormed a hospital, where a member of their gang was being treated. also, this was the moment ecuador arrested a top colombian drug trafficker. the situation�*s been escalating for weeks. on the 7th of january, a powerful drug lord known as "fito" vanished from his jail cell. prison riots across the country followed with the military trying to contain them. but dozens of prisoners escaped, hundreds of prison staff were taken hostage. there were bombs in the capital, quito, too. and then there was this — a local tv station was attacked

by armed men live on air. days later, the man leading the investigation into that was shot dead. and in the aftermath of the tv attack, this was the assessment of ecuador�*s president. translation: we are practically living in a state of— war against terrorism. these are not organised crime groups. they are terrorists. ecuador has gone from one of the safest countries in latin america to one of the deadliest. according to a leading think tank, the nation's murder rate for last year is the highest in its history. and ecuador�*s police say 80% of those murders connect to cocaine. but the drug trade in latin america is nothing new. so why is it having such an impact on ecuador now? well, first we need to look at neighbouring colombia. it's long been one of the largest cocaine producers in the world. and for years, the colombian rebel group, fark, controlled

the drug trade there. but in 2016, farc demobilised as part of a peace deal with the colombian government. most of its members stopped their armed resistance and stepped back from the drugs trade. this created a vacuum, which mexican cartels and other organised crime would fill, as well as that with the support of the us, colombia has continued to clamp down on the drug cartels. that meant the cocaine trade was looking for somewhere that was easier to do business. it looked next door, and ecuador wasn't equipped to deal with this. ecuador has been a relatively, sort, of island of peace, relative ireland of peace, to compare it to colombia and peru. ——relative island of peace, to compare it to colombia and peru. so that's meant that it's never really developed the infrastructure, the training and the material to be able to take on these sorts of existential security threats that it now faces. and ecuador�*s lack of preparation connects to its relationship with the us. back in 2007, ecuador elected rafael correa as president. he vowed to free ecuador from what he called "us imperialism". and as part of that,

president correa closed a us military base in the port city of manta. that meant a sharp reduction in the monitoring of ecuador�*s waters. also, in 2013, rafael correa suspended cooperation with the us drugs enforcement administration. that meant a sharp reduction in us support. and also relevant here is one of ecuador�*s main exports, bananas. they're shipped in containers with many bound for the us and europe. cocaine could go in those containers too. put all of that together, farc�*s demobilisation, the clampdown in colombia, ecuador�*s disengagement with the us, a lack of security infrastructure and the established export routes for bananas, and ecuador was vulnerable when the cartels decided to make their move. over the last few years, where we've seen this escalation of violence, this sort of gradual descent or not so gradual, sometimes quite, you know,

surges and outbreaks of violence. there's been numerous states of emergency, you know, 60 days, 30 days. and none of them have really sort of got to the root of the problem. president correa left office in 2017. two more presidents would follow him. and then in october last year, daniel noboa was elected president on a promise to crack down on violent crime. to do that, he'd need to deal with the criminal networks operating within ecuador�*s notorious prisons, which are central to the cocaine trade. not only have they been able to operate with impunity in the prisons, they've actually expanded their activities, an indication also of a certain amount of complicity within the security forces. in other words, many prisons in ecuador are the base from which gangs co—ordinate drug trafficking, and that brings violence. hundreds of inmates are being killed. in 2021 alone, over 300 died. but so far, efforts to break that connection between the prisons and the drug trade haven't worked. there's one final factor too,

the people buying the cocaine, because one estimate values ecuador�*s annual cocaine exports at close to $1 billion. others put it higher still. and 70% of ecuador�*s cocaine exports goes to europe. the busiest cocaine route in the world starts in ecuador�*s main port and ends in belgium, from where the cocaine is distributed across the continent. as one organised crime expert puts it, "the unending demand for cocaine and the eu accepts that europe is part of the equation. drug trafficking and organised crime linked to it are a threat to all societies, their prosperity, security and democracy. europe needs to reinforce its cooperation with partners in fight against drug trafficking in ecuador and elsewhere. all of this is having devastating consequences for ecuador, and for some, the situation is untenable.

they're trying to leave. for example, in 2022, nearly 18,000 ecuadorians sought asylum in the us, five times more than the year before. thousands of personal decisions with roots that reach back. in truth, the storm, which has turned ecuadorfrom one of the safest nations in latin america to one of the most violent, has been brewing for years. ecuador�*s predicament was a long time coming. it will take a long time to resolve too, because this is about supply and demand, about an inability to stop the exports, about the us and europe's voracious appetite for cocaine, and about a country ill equipped to be caught in the middle. fascinating. our thanks to our correspondent for that. he will have seenin correspondent for that. he will have seen in his report, doctor christopher. we were just chatting as we were watching that, the

geography of ecuador and the fact that it sits as a sort of transshipment hub, notjust for transshipment hub, not just for drugs. transshipment hub, not 'ust for dru:s. ., �* , �* drugs. that's right. between colombia — drugs. that's right. between colombia and _ drugs. that's right. between colombia and peru _ drugs. that's right. between colombia and peru will - drugs. that's right. between colombia and peru will stop| drugs. that's right. between - colombia and peru will stop first of all, but the battles in those countries taking over of territory, a lot of the drug shipment moved across the border. but it's also human trafficking. you noted the ecuadorian immigrants that are leaving but it's also chinese, bangladeshis and so on. ecuador has become a major landing point for those emigrants to make their way through the dangerous passage through the dangerous passage through panama and the darien gap. the drugs go out. through panama and the darien gap. the drugs go out-— the drugs go out. exactly, exactly. the drugs go out. exactly, exactly. the remnants, _ the drugs go out. exactly, exactly. the remnants, farc— the drugs go out. exactly, exactly. the remnants, farc have - the drugs go out. exactly, exactly. the remnants, farc have been - the remnants, farc have been removed, are they involved in this? there is the peace plan that didn't sell us peace with farc, a number of

paramilitaries and other current president is trying to negotiate a peace deal with a dozen or so criminal groups. once their operations have been integrated, they take their business across the border, but it is not in terms of the growing our production of cocaine, and this is important. most of it is in the transport. that makes it much more difficult to root out. you're talking about people taking these drugs across the border and making their way to the port where they can be shipped either through submersible up of the pacific or, as your report mentioned... pacific or, as your report mentioned. . ._ pacific or, as your report mentioned... ., ., ., ., mentioned... you have got to get the transort mentioned... you have got to get the transport route- _ mentioned... you have got to get the transport route. it's _ mentioned... you have got to get the transport route. it's not _ mentioned... you have got to get the transport route. it's not going - mentioned... you have got to get the transport route. it's not going into . transport route. it's not going into colombia and spraying of field and taking out what they are producing. it's logistics you've got to demolish.— it's logistics you've got to demolish. ., , , ., . ., demolish. the groups are much more mobile. demolish. the groups are much more mobile- you — demolish. the groups are much more mobile. you also _ demolish. the groups are much more mobile. you also have _ demolish. the groups are much more mobile. you also have here _ demolish. the groups are much more mobile. you also have here what - demolish. the groups are much more mobile. you also have here what has| mobile. you also have here what has happened as the drugs begin to be transferred out of the deep water ports in ecuador, the mexican cartels which had been chipping and moving a lot of the cooking to

central america saw this as an opportunity and they feel the vacuum. so you have albanian, european organised crime as well as mexican organised crime, and what they're doing isjust mexican organised crime, and what they're doing is just moving the cocaine. the reports mentioned earlier that under a previous president, they removed a usda base that was monitoring a lot of this area by radar. that has been eliminated. that has to be re—established because a lot of the cocaine crossing these borders is coming by primarily small plants. what about the americans, because a lot of focus at the moment on these caravans that are approaching the us border. there are already unstable latin american countries. and now we have another. latin american countries. and now we have another-— have another. right next to presumably _ have another. right next to presumably although - have another. right next to presumably although the i have another. right next to l presumably although the dea have another. right next to - presumably although the dea had have another. right next to _ presumably although the dea had left ecuador, presumably there is an american response to this. are they backin american response to this. are they back in the country? there is a delegation that just went, back in the country? there is a delegation thatjust went, they back in the country? there is a delegation that just went, they are looking for a security package.

looking at providing perhaps scanning x—ray equipment for the boats as well as reestablishing radar presence as well as training the militaries can be your report mentioned ecuador and in our previous discussion just now we are talking but ecuador has always been an island of peace. so it really doesn't have the military, the human resources prepared to be able to handle this level of threat against the state. it's going to require training. it's also going to require work on the demand side as you are at report pointed out. this is driven by cocaine consumption in europe and in the united states. if it's transnational it's not just the it's transnational it's notjust the americans involved, them up assumedly the whole region has to come up with a response.— come up with a response. that's exactly right- — come up with a response. that's exactly right. argentina - come up with a response. that's exactly right. argentina just - exactly right. argentina just extradited a family of the prisoner who escaped, you know, they are scattered throughout the region, there are transnational networks and they are engaged in more than just cocaine, they are engaged in human trafficking, illegal mining, illegal timber. so this will require neighbours as he was even distant

neighbours, argentina, brazil, to step up. it shouldn't be just the us arming and working with the military. it is going to require a number of, if you will come networks throughout the region. we number of, if you will come networks throughout the region.— number of, if you will come networks throughout the region. we sought the euro ean throughout the region. we sought the european parliament _ throughout the region. we sought the european parliament responding - throughout the region. we sought the european parliament responding to i european parliament responding to it, but about the pull factor, the appetite for cocaine here in europe thatis appetite for cocaine here in europe that is principally driving it. if he were to get on top of the drug trade in ecuador, the what would that do to cocaine supply here in europe. that do to cocaine supply here in euro e. that do to cocaine supply here in euroe. . , ., europe. there will always be demand. for decades — europe. there will always be demand. for decades we _ europe. there will always be demand. for decades we fight _ europe. there will always be demand. for decades we fight the _ europe. there will always be demand. for decades we fight the war - europe. there will always be demand. for decades we fight the war on - for decades we fight the war on drugs, mostly on the supply side, and the thinking was always that if you reduced the production it would increase cost and it would drive away consumers, that has not happened. there's more cocaine on the streets and it's cheaper now thanit the streets and it's cheaper now than it was before. so you also address the demand side. it's very curious we all worry about free range eggs, where we get our needs, but the truth is the idea is we are doing good if we are buying naturally or transparently produced goods, the truth is that cocaine is

a really some he business. the people who produce cocaine, when the users, they're supporting some of most brutal humans imaginable and there also has to be that campaign when we live in a world of much more demand focused supplies that we get and how we eat and how we consume i think we need to also understand what the consequences of the actions of some are in terms of the lives of people in south america. that of some are in terms of the lives of people in south america.— people in south america. that is a really important _ people in south america. that is a really important point. _ people in south america. that is a really important point. just - people in south america. that is a really important point. just a - people in south america. that is a really important point. just a final| really important point. just a final word because we cannot really touched on it, the president, he is a young man. i think his father was a young man. i think his father was a banana exporter. he a young man. i think his father was a banana exporter.— a young man. i think his father was a banana exporter.- here i a young man. i think his father was | a banana exporter.- here he a banana exporter. he was. here he is, new a banana exporter. he was. here he is. new to — a banana exporter. he was. here he is, new to power. _ a banana exporter. he was. here he is, new to power. one _ a banana exporter. he was. here he is, new to power. one of _ a banana exporter. he was. here he is, new to power. one of his - a banana exporter. he was. here he is, new to power. one of his chief. is, new to power. one of his chief prosecutors has been taken up by the drug cartels commence a battle of wealth and power now. does he have the resources and support of the public to reign in what is happening? he public to reign in what is happening? public to reign in what is haueninu? happening? he responded in part because a candidate _ happening? he responded in part because a candidate in _ happening? he responded in part because a candidate in 2023 - happening? he responded in part i because a candidate in 2023 during the presidential campaign was shot

gauge, and that's more or less one millimetre. the rainfall measurements tom takes are passed on to natural resources wales. it helps us with forecasting, with modelling and with water resources. the weather station he uses was built by his grandfather at the end of the 19th century. tom took over the responsibility of measuring the rainfall in 19118. how long do you think you'll keep going? as long as i can. as long as i can walk, hopefully. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. - nass adept at the little helicopter that could, but the space engine —— the head of nasa labelled it , �*the little helicopter that could'. but the space agency's ingenuity drone has now suffered damage ending its mission on the red planet. it made history by achieving the first powered flight but after it had to

perform an emergency landing, it was damaged. nasa released this image showing the shadow of the damaged rotor. to prove flight was possible in the planet's ultra—thin atmosphere. here's nasa administrator bill nelson. it is bittersweet that i must announce that ingenuity, the little helicopter that could, and it kept saying, i think i can, i think i can, well, it has now taken its last flight on morris.— can, well, it has now taken its last| flight on morris._ -- flight on morris. what a shame. -- on mars. let's speak to nicky fox. she's the associate administrator for science at nasa. what enabled it to fly? amazing technology- _ what enabled it to fly? amazing technology- it — what enabled it to fly? amazing technology. it had _ what enabled it to fly? amazing technology. it had a _ what enabled it to fly? amazing technology. it had a very - what enabled it to fly? amazing l technology. it had a very specially designed rotor, the actual blades were especially designed. they had a very special kind to her in than the end, of course, they were designed with ultralightweight material. that

was an amazing technology leap for us to enable our incredible ingenuity helicopter to take the very first flight on another planet. over 70 flights. what happened on this one? why did it go wrong? {lin this one? why did it go wrong? on the this one? why did it go wrong? q? the previous flights, and a 71st flight, we know that it lost contact with it during the flight. we believe it actually had a hard landing. it didn't land as we wanted it to. we actually lost contact with it, and it was a big range for us. we lost contact with it at the end of last week, and i think a lot of us started to fear the worst at that point, but the plucky little helicopter turned back on on saturday and we got back and everyone scanners went back up.

still sending images. for those who perhaps have not followed its progress and what it has been sending back, what do marbles have you seen as a result of this helicopter flying over the planet? the fact that it flew away further and way higher than we actually thought it would be able to do but it gave us just a different view. obviously we've got the incredible mars rovers that are driving around the planet, you know, i like to, like a daily postcard that we get whenever perseverance sends us back in a meeting in edge. ingenuity gave us a very different perspective and it's literally like imagining taking a helicopter ride of your house it looks completely different if you drive past it from the street. it just gave us a very, very different view, and as the administrator notes, if you watch all of his incredible video, it actually was scouting out for the perseverance rover, so ingenuity can fly out and look at the area that we were then

the winds are a bit lighter, but further north, where we still got these strong and gusty winds, gales likely in the northwest of scotland through the rest of the night. and it's going to be across northern scotland that we see most of the showers, one or two for a while, maybe for northern ireland, perhaps the far north of england. clearer skies and lighter winds further south means it's going to be quite chilly. and across the southeast of england, we could start early saturday with a touch of frost. but on the whole, the prospects for this weekend are looking pretty good. for many places, it is going to be dry. there'll be some sunshine. the winds will pick up through the weekend, but that in turn will lift the temperatures. now, on saturday, most of the rain is here from that band of cloud across northern scotland. maybe seeing a few spots of rain later for northern ireland and western scotland. otherwise, it should be dry with some sunshine. now, the sunshine could be a bit hazy, there could be quite a bit of high cloud around,

but temperatures are going to be a bit higher than today — around 9—10 degrees. now, there is a weather frontjust sort of waiting in the wings in the atlantic that will eventually slide towards the northwest of the uk. but ahead of that, we're going to pick up a stronger southerly wind on sunday. it'll bring up some of the warmth, actually, that we've seen across iberia of late. but we may well see a lot of cloud to begin with, especially around western hills and coasts. the best of the sunshine will be across eastern areas of the uk, and then there's that weather front bringing rain towards northern ireland and particularly into northwest scotland during the afternoon. it will be a windy day, but temperatures continuing to climb. could reach 1a degrees around the murray firth, even along the north coast of northern ireland, ahead of that rain on that weather front there. and that willjust push its way into scotland and northern ireland overnight, making slow progress into england and wales. now, some of this rain could be quite heavy for a while, and with colder air coming in to scotland and northern ireland, there may be some snow over the scottish hills for a while. not much progress of that rain beyond northern england and wales, so the midlands, east anglia and the south is still dry on monday and quite warm as well — highs of 1a or even 15 celsius.

hello, i'm christian fraser. this is the context. the court further considers that israel must ensure, with immediate effect, that its military forces do not commit any of the aforementioned acts. israel's commitment to international law is unwavering. equally unwavering is our secret commitment

—— equally unwavering is our sacred commitment to continue to defend our country and defend our people. this has been widely interpreted as a victory for south africa - because the icj judges decided. that there is a plausible reason, they believe, that they need to intervene in this case. - joining me on the panel tonight isjournalist and author matthew syed and mick mulvaney, former chief of staff to president trump. first, though, the latest bbc news. the un's highest court says the situation in gaza is catastrophic and "at serious risk of deteriorating further". the 17—judge panel ordered israel to take all measures to prevent genocide, but stopped short of demanding a ceasefire. vladimir putin says ukraine knew a russian plane was carrying dozens of ukrainian prisoners of war when it shot it down, killing everyone on board. kyiv has denied that claim
