live from london. this is bbc news. israel's chief military spokesperson says 31 of the remaining hostages held by hamas in gaza are dead. qatar's prime minister says there's been a �*positive response�* a us appeals court rules that donald trump does not have immunity from charges that he plotted to overturn his 2020 election defeat. the bbc learns the government is preparing to offer dentists cash incentives to take on nhs patients in england. welcome to the daily global, where we'll bring you the top stories from around the world. a us federal court of appeal has ruled that donald trump does not have presidential immunity and can be prosecuted on charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election. the former president had argued that his executive immunity meant he should not face charges for criminal acts.

but the three judge panel rejected that claim. mr trump is expected to appeal against the ruling, so the case could ultimately be decided by the supreme court. in the last hour we've heard from the former us president. in a lengthy post on his truthsocial platform, mr trump said... "a nation destroying ruling like this cannot be allowed to stand." adding "if not overturned, as it shoudld be, this decision would not only injure the presidency but the life breath and success of our country." from outside the court where the ruling took place our north america correspondent gary o'donoghue explains what the ruling could mean for trump. donald trump's lawyers were arguing that as president and during his official duties, he conducted various investigations into the election and that anything related to that meant he should have immunity from prosecution. the court heard that case and the special counsel made their case, which said that he

wasn't immune from prosecution. and at the end, these three judges decided that former president trump had become "citizen trump", in their words, and that he could be tried. so this opens the way to a trial to go ahead on those four criminal charges involved with the disruption of the election last time around. now, donald trump has tried to delay these cases for as much as possible. that's the strategy he's pursuing. and he will get the chance to appeal this to the supreme court, and that could delay things even further. in the meantime, he's raising a significant amount of money off these cases with his supporters. and really, if he can delay this until after the election and he were to win that election, he could simply make this prosecution go away by directing his department ofjustice to drop it. let's get more analysis on this story. i spoke erlier to former federal prosecutor renato mariotti he gave me his reaction to this ruling.

i'm not surprised by the decision. trump's lawyers were essentially arguing that he could assassinate his political opponents and face no criminal prosecution for doing so. i think that was an extreme position that i did not expect the court to adopt. i do think it's notable that the decision is unanimous, and i think the real question is how long will it take to the supreme court to decide what it wants to do, and will they take the case at all? i mean there's a possibility that they decide not to do so. so how does that work? how do they make that decision? what do they have to take into consideration? so, first of all, they're going to decide whether or not they will stay this ruling, in other words, freeze it or pause it while they're considering whether to take the case. that's the first decision that would obviously have an impact because the currently the court case against trump is frozen, essentially, and the court is not moving forward.

and then let's just assume that it is frozen or it's called stayed. then the court is going to have to decide, is this something in which there is a lack of clarity or the potential for a split ruling among the lower courts, the courts of appeal in the united states. this is not the kind of case where there's a split in decisions. this is a case that has come on really a first of its kind case. i think there's a chance the supreme court won't take the case simply because it's a political hot potato. and they're almost certainly going to come out the same way that the court of appeals did. but if they did decide to do so, and you would just need fourjustices on the supreme court to decide that it would introduce very significant delay that could mean that this trial would not take place until after the 2024 election. so if they do or if they don't, where does that leave donald trump in times of timing for this case?

so right now, donald trump is trying to burn as much of the clock as possible, so to speak. and i think his hope is that the supreme court will take the case. if they do not do so, i think he's at least hoping that they're going to stay the case, pause it, while they consider, the supreme court considers whether to take the case. that might burn a month or two off of the clock and put this into the fall. but if they ultimately decide to take the case, that would be a win for trump, even if the supreme court doesn't rule in his favor, because that would push this until after the election. and as your correspondent mentioned a moment ago, that would mean that if he was elected, donald trump would simply instruct the attorney general to not pursue this case any further. to bring you some breaking news regarding a us conservative talk show host tucker carlson who has

said according to the afp news agency, he is going to interview putin, the russian president. apparently he is in russia at the moment and the bbc has been reporting that he his visit has been getting blanket coverage in russia. social media has been awash with images of him visiting sites around moscow. his move is being carefully followed there. he is a conservative journalist, an outspoken defender of putin. sojust journalist, an outspoken defender of putin. so just getting journalist, an outspoken defender of putin. sojust getting reports journalist, an outspoken defender of putin. so just getting reports from the afp news agency that he is going to interview putin. so we will bring you more on that as we get it. at another piece of breaking news in the past few minutes. use from the united states a jury in michigan has found a mother guilty of involuntary manslaughter for failing to stop kherson from carrying out a deadly school shooting. jennifer is the first us parent convicted of a manslaughter over a mass shooting carried out by their own child.

prosecutors accused her of being negligent and allowing kherson to have a gun and ignoring warning signs. let's be sure correspondent john said worth on the story now in the united states. john, welcome. tell us more on the story and the court's findings.— tell us more on the story and the court's findings. this is a landmark rulin: and court's findings. this is a landmark ruling and is _ court's findings. this is a landmark ruling and is being _ court's findings. this is a landmark ruling and is being seen _ court's findings. this is a landmark ruling and is being seen as - court's findings. this is a landmark ruling and is being seen as such. i ruling and is being seen as such. the us networks have all begun covering the verdict as it came in from the court. and there is no doubt this will be seen as a very significant moment as you say this is the first time in us history in which the parents have faced a criminal charges of this kind following the actions of one of their children involved in a mass shooting. this case dates back to november 2021 where ethan crumbly a 15—year—old schoolboy at the time

with a somewhat troubled history —— crumbley. carried out a shooting leaving for fellow students that in several other injured in his michigan high school. basically, the substance of the prosecution was to say, that his parents had ignored the warning signs. the history of mental health issues as well as what they suggested were much more clearer warnings. the disturbing pictures the school discovered on kherson. 0n the day of the shooting they had not told the school they had bought their son a handgun as an early christmas gift. the prosecution said they could have done much more. they were essentially saying this was a case of gross negligence and therefore, discharge, thejury of gross negligence and therefore, discharge, the jury should find in favour of this charge of involuntary

manslaughter. the defence say this but set a dangerous precedent, that the parents have done all think they could and it is unreasonable that they should be responsive for the actions of their child in this way, but clearly thejury actions of their child in this way, but clearly the jury did not accept it. we don't yet know what the sentence is. but we understand that it could carry, for each of the four counts, for each four students killed in the shooting, 15 year sentence to run concurrently. thank ou for sentence to run concurrently. thank you for that — sentence to run concurrently. thank you for that update _ sentence to run concurrently. thank you for that update on _ sentence to run concurrently. thank you for that update on that - sentence to run concurrently. thank you for that update on that breaking story. let's turn to the middle east now. and in the past few minutes, israel's military spokesperson, daniel hagari, has said 31 of the remaining hostages held in gaza had been pronounced dead. he said theirfamilies had been informed. israel says 136 hostages are still being held by hamas which is considered a terror organisation by the us and uk governments. the us secretary of state, antony blinken is on his way to tel aviv after holding talks in doha, as part of his latest efforts to bring about a gaza ceasefire deal. on his fifth visit to

the middle east since october 7th blinken has already discussed regional tensions and the humanitarian situation with egyptian and saudi leaders in cairo and riyadh. meanwhile, israel is warning to expand its offensive to rafah in the gaza strip. the defence minister, yoav gallant, has warned hamas fighters who he says are hiding in rafah, that they would meet their end there. more now on antony blinken�*s talks in doha, which came after the qatari prime minister confirmed hamas has today replied to a ceasefire proposal. together, with qatar and egypt, we put forward, as you know, a serious proposal that was aimed at not simply repeating the previous agreement, but expanding it. as the prime ministerjust said, hamas responded tonight. we're reviewing that response now and i'll be discussing

it with the government of israel tomorrow. there's still a lot of work to be done, but we continue to believe that an agreement is possible and indeed essential, and we will continue to work relentlessly to achieve it. i spoke earlier with our correspondent barbara plett usher for her assessment on what progress antony blinken�*s latest trip to the middle east has achieved. well, the fact that he and the qatari prime minister announced that they had now received a response from hamas for this truce proposal is a development because this general framework has been put together for a cessation of hostilities. put together by the egyptians, the qataris, the americans, with some input from the israelis. and it was handed to hamas about a week ago and they hadn't responded. and so that was quite key. now, mr blinken didn't give any details about what that response was. he said they were reviewing it and that they would talk about it with the israelis.

about it with the israelis when he comes to israel after his stop in qatar. the qatari prime minister gave a little bit more detail. he said that the the that hamas had made some comments in its reply, but generally it was a positive response. we do have a statement from hamas as well that touched on, frankly, what is the main sticking point in this issue, which is that the israelis say there's no way a temporary truce would lead to a permanent cease fire, whereas hamas is saying it must lead to a cessation, a permanent cessation of the war. and in its statement, it said that they had treated the framework positively in a way that would ensure a full cessation of aggression, as they called it. so it sounds like there's negotiating still to be done, as mr blinken suggested there. but at least i think what the hamas has conveyed there is that the door is open to this proposal and is, as mr blinken was saying, it's important because they want to get the release of the remaining israeli hostages, more than 100 israeli hostages, also,

because this will give, if they get this ceasefire, that it will give time to do a significant ramp up of humanitarian aid into gaza, which is desperately needed. and the americans and the qataris and egyptians are also hoping to build on any truce that is agreed eventually to be able to make plans for a longer—term response to to the war that would that would eventually lead to to a more peaceful outcome. so a lot is riding on this, and it's the first response from hamas. and that is something that mr blinken will be discussing with the israelis when he comes here. in the past few minutes a senior hamas official has told the bbc in response to the news from qatar that hamas had provided, privately provided a partially positive response to current truce proposals. this hamas official said, we did what we had to do and provided a response and hope that things would move forward. they said, we presented a positive vision but we

asked for amendments related to returning residents to their homes, transferring the wounded for treatment in hospitals abroad, providing shelter to the displaced and returning the wounded to their homes. the reconstruction of gaza within clear and specific time frames. those comments from a senior hamas official to the bbc with regards to the latest efforts to secure some kind of cease—fire in return for a hostage release. let's cross live not to boston where i am joined by glenjohnson, former adviser tojohn kerry, us state department and barack 0bama. thank you for being with us. i'm sure you are following all of the developments in the middle east closely. what you make of recent efforts in the past few hours, the shuttle diplomacy, the fifth visit by the us secretary of state to the region since october the 7th. are they bearing fruit? it’s region since october the 7th. are they bearing fruit?— they bearing fruit? it's his fifth time back there _ they bearing fruit? it's his fifth time back there in _ they bearing fruit? it's his fifth time back there in his - they bearing fruit? it's his fifth time back there in his fifth - they bearing fruit? it's his fifth | time back there in his fifth time they bearing fruit? it's his fifth - time back there in his fifth time on this carousel but he is trying to keep everyone spinning off in their own direction. the fruits of his labour will be clear after he leaves

israel. it is very difficult to manage all of these priorities with all of the different equities at one time so he starts in saudi arabia, tries to get buy—in for a cease—fire, perhaps a reconstruction of the gaza strip, he heads into egypt. he tries to calm tensions there, the egyptians are very concerned about an influx of refugees, if the israelis put the hammer down in the rafah, southern gaza area. and he goes on to qatar to try and find out where the cease—fire stands, what hamas's response is. and clearly there were some conditions that respond to the did not allow the secretary of state to come out tonight, even, and say it was a positive response. people have to go to tel aviv and jerusalem and try to convince the netanyahu government that there is something, a framework there that is workable. still a lot of diplomacy to be done. he is spending so many diplomatic plates and if 1's falls and crashes

it could have catastrophic consequences. do you believe that he is the right person, the right country for thejob, is the right person, the right country for the job, talking to all of these arab countries? it is alwa s of these arab countries? it is always difficult, _ of these arab countries? it is always difficult, but - of these arab countries? it 3 always difficult, but there are few countries and few leaders that have the throw weight of the us. 0bviously the throw weight of the us. obviously the uk, germany and others, so there has to be some party that engages here in the united states for a variety of reasons has some clout in the in the area to bring some sort of solution. the initiation initially benefit itself to embracing israel strongly. within israel in the diaspora within the united states but that quickly disintegrated where the palestinian and the arab world felt that israel was overreaching so

now the administration is trying to temper its support and condition its support for israel with movement towards a cease—fire and an influx of humanitarian aid desperately needed for the gaza strip. ianthem of humanitarian aid desperately needed for the gaza strip. when it comes to heading _ needed for the gaza strip. when it comes to heading to _ needed for the gaza strip. when it comes to heading to israel, - needed for the gaza strip. when it comes to heading to israel, how . needed for the gaza strip. when it comes to heading to israel, how is he going to deal with netanyahu, there is clear divisions between the two countries even though the us continues to support it and is closest ally. at hearing in the past day or so that right wing minister, ben, saying instead of giving his full support, bite and is refusing humanitarian aid in sending fuel to gaza to hamas. clearly critical. just one voice and that government but how much to do you think there is now between netanyahu and the us administration? i is now between netanyahu and the us administration?— administration? i saw it when i was there with john _ administration? i saw it when i was there with john kerry _ administration? i saw it when i was there with john kerry numerous - there withjohn kerry numerous times. netanyahu is worried about his own agenda and at the top of his agenda is his own personal political

survival. so he will hear the secretary of state, he will entertain what he says to him, but ultimately he will pursue that which keeps him in power. right now, part of that is avenging the attack on israel from october the 7th, part of it is, when the country is on a wartime footing, there is no real reconsideration of his own political peril and legal troubles. so the administration is nearing the end of its rope with the netanyahu administration and the netanyahu administration, internally, is facing a period where the israeli populace is going to stop the free past it has given him in the aftermath of the october the 7th attacks and refocus on the domestic concerns about his leadership and the rightward movement of the government and all that it has cost the country. it has cost a lot of political support around the world, so very difficult times.— so very difficult times. really interesting — so very difficult times. really interesting to _

eligible, before the 22nd of february, without the need to claim. it has emerged that the government is preparing to offer dentists cash incentives to take on nhs patients in england amid a shortage of dental practices. it comes as hundreds of people have been queuing for the second day in a row to try to register at a new nhs dental practice in bristol. yesterday the police were called in to manage the crowds. tonight bbc news has seen details of government plans to make nhs dentistry in england more widely available. from bristol, danjohnson sent this report. this is the queue that symbolises the struggle to see the dentist right across england. i don't know how long it's going to be. and many, like adima, are back here for a second day. we can't even get seen. my children haven't been

to the dentist since before covid. it's ridiculous. and then i go to sign up to other ones in bristol, there's no dentists. this is kind of broken britain personified, isn't it, really? desperate people queueing. it's like soviet britain. he was here yesterday as well. they needed bouncers because this area has been so short of dentists since this practice closed last summer. shirley and mary were braced for a long wait. i've only got seven! the rest are in my pocket! there they are. it is notjust dentists. it is hospitals, schools, education. lack of investment in the national health, basically. but there's a lot of people who worked very hard to get this open, so that is the positive. the problem is that dentists have been leaving the profession or switching to more lucrative private work because their nhs contracts don't seem to pay them enough to meet the rising demand. they have been lining up,

queueing up since az30am. the new dentist here registered 800 patients yesterday and they have got 5,000 much—needed places. simply put, they are desperate. i feel sad. my heart goes out to them. but there is only so much we can do and only so much we can offer. it is at breaking point, now, i think, or it's already broken. we are trying to fix it. after a few hours queueing, there is a smile on adima's face. yes! we have definitely got an appointment now! but many more are still waiting. a government plan to improve dentistry is on the way. danjohnson, bbc news, bristol. following the announcement of king charles s cancer diagnosis, his estranged younger son prince harry, has arrived in london from the united states. his visit has raised speculation about the possibility of a family reconciliation. although prince harry is not expected to meet with his brother,

prince william. meanwhile, the king and queen have now left london via helicopter. it's thought they are heading to the palace at sandringham in norfolk, where charles is likely to remain while he receives a schedule of treatment, and winds down his work to just constituional duties and paperwork. we can now speak to the historian and royal commentator gareth russell. just over 2a hours since this news broke, what is your assessment of what impact the kingdom's health is going to have on the monarchy in the short and long—term? going to have on the monarchy in the short and long-term?— short and long-term? great question because they — short and long-term? great question because they are _ short and long-term? great question because they are two _ short and long-term? great question because they are two very _ short and long-term? great question because they are two very different l because they are two very different set of consequences. in the short term, i think we are going to see on the positive side, a massive uptick in the number of people accessing cancer charity and cancer trust services. prostate cancer uk have reported something like a 1000% uptick in men accessing services after the announcement from the king. in terms of the monarchy itself, it is putting them under quite a considerable amount of pressure. this was not expected, it is already a slimmed—down monarchy.

you could say it is now cracking in trying to find enough 0rioles to cover functions we have the king and princess of wales out of action at the same time that leads into longer—term difficulties which is, i think this highlights that the monarchy does have too few working senior royals. as they progress through the reign of charles iii, thatis through the reign of charles iii, that is something that they are going to have to work on. i suppose the are going to have to work on. i suppose they are in — going to have to work on. i suppose they are in a — going to have to work on. i suppose they are in a difficult _ going to have to work on. i suppose they are in a difficult position, - they are in a difficult position, they are in a difficult position, they did not when a bloated monarchy, not too many people on that balcony because they did not want to be seen taking too much of the public purse. now, you are saying they are in difficulties, prince harry is back momentarily, of course no longer a working boil. he is given that up and moved to california. tell us about his return, a speedy return, we don't know when they spoke in when king charles revealed this diagnosis to his son, but there has been very strained relations over the past few

hello there. good evening. the mild spring—like temperatures now thing of the past with much colder air sinking southwards across the uk. we saw some heavy snow today across parts of shetland, blizzard like conditions here, coastal gales too, across the far north of scotland and some heavy rain pushing southwards on this cold front along with colder air towards the north. that milder air still hanging on towards the far south coast of england where we'll still see some heavy downpours of rain just gradually pushing southwards as we head through this evening. the rain eventually clearing away into the channel by tomorrow morning. and some more snow showers just pushing southwards and eastwards across western scotland, maybe across parts of northern ireland. here, an ice risk into the start of the day. tomorrow temperatures dipping below freezing, otherwise low single figures. it's a chilly start to the day, but still a legacy of cloud

across the south coast as we head through much of wednesday morning, maybe one or two light showers, but it's a much quieter looking day of weather on wednesday. there will be lots of brightness around some sunshine towards the north, some snow showers wintry across the hills once again for parts of western scotland and maybe one or two wintry showers for northern ireland as well. temperatures lower 4—8 degrees celsius for most. still mild across the far south—west. the rain returns, it's pushing northwards as a warm front as we head throughout wednesday night and into thursday. and as that bumps into the colder feeling air, it could possibly tend to snow, especially across northern ireland, north wales and northern england as we head through thursday morning. we're most likely to see some accumulations over the hills, but even to lower levels, there could be a couple of centimetres of snowfall perhaps, but it could turn quite quickly back to sleet and then to rain. there's a met office, a yellow weather warning in force valid from 6:00 on thursday morning until 6:00 on friday. so do be aware that there could be some snowfall, particularly in those areas. it's all driven by this area of low pressure, mild air still towards the south. all this will be falling as rain, but some strong gusty winds, too, particularly towards eastern coastal areas. that snow risk transfers further northwards into much of central northern scotland as we head through friday.

temperatures across scotland are 3—5 degrees celsius, but further south and that milder feeling air again, double figures — 10—12 degrees celsius. it remains unsettled as we head through the weekend. so the showers never too far away, but for most, the temperatures will be rising. bye— bye.
