the remaining hostages have been confirmed dead. it comes amid a visit by antony blinken, who says he continues to believe an agreement can be reached to fall an agreement can be reached to fall an agreement can be reached if all the fighting. a court in washington has ruled donald trump does not have immunity. the former president has claimed for several years that he's protected from multiple cases that he's facing. he's likely to peel. he is found a mother guilty after involuntary manchild after her son killed four students —— manslaughter —— likely to appeal. and king charles has been seen in public for the first time since his cancer diagnosis was revealed. he is photographed with the queen consort smiling and waving in london.

a very good evening. donald trump can be prosecuted for his attempt to overturn the 2020 election. it sets up overturn the 2020 election. it sets up a likely trial date sometime in late spring or early summer. trump's lawyers argued a president must have full immunity, without which they said it would be impossible for him or her to properly function. the court disagreed. they went on. on immunity, they rolled...

derivative liability, that even if you did not actually pull the trigger on some kind of crime, if you helped facilitate it for providing a weapon to someone who should not have had it — frankly, no child should have a weapon like that — then you have some culpability there. i think that going outdoors and parents should take this very seriously —— gun owners and parents. i think it forces people to be that much more responsible and i hope it's taken seriously. it’s it's taken seriously. it's interesting, _ it's taken seriously. it's interesting, leigh - it's taken seriously. it's interesting, leigh ann, because legislation is very difficult in congress. here you have a verdict that can have a real chilling effect across the country on the supply of weapons and how liable parents are. yeah, liability for some of these shootings. — yeah, liability for some of these shootings, especially mass shootings, especially mass shootings, has been a huge topic. there's— shootings, has been a huge topic. there's been efforts to make the gun manufacturers liable in these situations. most of those have largely— situations. most of those have largely failed, especially legislatively on capitol hill. i

he is hoping moves forward is this national securities supplemental taiwan aid in israel aid. essentially, we are in the exact same spot that the congress was in four months ago when they said that they would not accept — republicans, anyway — ukraine aid without border security funding and policy attached. they walked away because of politics, because of donald trump, and now ukraine aid is still injeopardy. trump, and now ukraine aid is still in jeopardy-— trump, and now ukraine aid is still in jeopardy. injeopardy. lord darr, let me redo this from the _ injeopardy. lord darr, let me redo this from the pentagon _ injeopardy. lord darr, let me redo this from the pentagon today. -- l this from the pentagon today. —— lord darroch. she was given a stark assessment. she said...

who was the first western journalist in a review of the russian president since the invasion. that was very brief. i have watched the preamble. i'm going to say, is nauseating, because he's immensely condescending to all the journalists out there as if we haven't tried to get an interview, and then he lists a whole series of events that have happened as if it were nothing to do with him. as if it were nothing to do with him, ., as if it were nothing to do with him. ., , ., , ., �* him. so, that explains. i haven't seen he had _ him. so, that explains. i haven't seen he had posted _ him. so, that explains. i haven't seen he had posted that. - him. so, that explains. i haven't seen he had posted that. that i seen he had posted that. that explains why he was spotted in moscow earlier this week. look, tucker carlson is almost single—handedly responsible for this progression movement in the far right faction of the united states.

—— pro—russian. he has persuaded public perception on the right on this issue. he has been defined as some sort of russian state media almost here in the united states. frankly, i'm not surprised. it's going to be fascinated to hear what this interview is, but i suspect it's going to probably one of putin's more friendly interview. j putin's more friendly interview. i wasjust curious to putin's more friendly interview. i was just curious to know how many people had watch this so far. 17.3 million views. it's only been up for a couple of hours. that's the sort of audience that he gets. people on the maga right will be listening to this. we'll talk about the labour leader's plan for spending £20 billion. is that a good investment? stay with us.

hello there, good evening. the mild spring—like temperatures now a 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 across the far north of scotland and some heavy rain pushing 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 six o'clock on thursday morning until six o'clock 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, temperatures across scotland are 3—5 celsius, but further south and that milder—feeling air again, double figures —10—12 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.
