a few interesting developments in the us election. we will take a look at a few of them. firstly, head of the south carolina primary, new poll and of the south carolina primary, a new poll of republicans has given donald trump a large lead over competitor nikki haley. the cbs and yougov poll has trump on 65% — with respondents saying they more see trump as �*fighting' for them. whilst haley is on 30% — with her history as former governor and native of the state not seen as a factor. and figures suggest most voters are unlikely to change their minds in the coming weeks. almost 9 in 10 trump supporters and nearly 8 in 10 haley supporters saying they're firmly decided. let's bring back in our panel. professor ca rwyn let's bring back in our panel. professor carwyn jones let's bring back in our panel. professor carwynjones first minister of wales and leader of welsh leader of

anneke let's start with you let's hear what you make of this sizeable trump lead.— let's hear what you make of this sizeable trump lead. does not look aood for sizeable trump lead. does not look good for nikki _ sizeable trump lead. does not look good for nikki haley, _ sizeable trump lead. does not lookl good for nikki haley, unfortunately. we are coming to grips with the fact that we may have a trump by didn't rematch ahead of us this year which i don't think anyone is excited about. is i don't think anyone is excited about. , . , , , about. is there anything, is it 'ust now in the — about. is there anything, is it 'ust now in the hands i about. is there anything, is it 'ust now in the hands of, it is * about. is there anything, is itjust i now in the hands of, it is something extraordinary happening, some developments, some news stories, something, but barring any of that, there is, there is no real alternative than those two, is it? like you said. barring some unforeseen event, i've been hearing that has been a lot of speculation that has been a lot of speculation that the is possible there may be a change on the biden side, more likely than on a change of the trump side. trump is not issue when at any means by this point but there is

still a official chance that nikki haley could pull it out. the poll does not look optimistic for that. with biden but the recent report from the special counsel calling him an old man with memory problems, and him being put in front of the media for after that, there has been some speculation here in dc that perhaps there are some of the democratic side trying to get him off of the ticket by, it looks like a back fire way of making him look strong but highlighting the fact that he is 81 years old going into an election and his administration is not functioning well. is his administration is not functioning well.- his administration is not functioning well. his administration is not functionin: well. , , functioning well. is it your belief that it is trump _ functioning well. is it your belief that it is trump versus _ functioning well. is it your belief that it is trump versus biden - functioning well. is it your belief| that it is trump versus biden that donald trump will win? 1 that it is trump versus biden that donald trump will win?— that it is trump versus biden that donald trump will win? i think it is too soon to — donald trump will win? i think it is too soon to tell. _ donald trump will win? i think it is too soon to tell. looking _ donald trump will win? i think it is too soon to tell. looking at the - too soon to tell. looking at the people who support donald trump, they support trump. the support people for biden do not have an alternative, that is my oppression of things right now. so you are less likely to convince a donald trump

voter to vote for someone else. they see nikki haley and die—hard trump supporters just see nikki haley and die—hard trump supportersjust want see nikki haley and die—hard trump supporters just want that tends to put him in office. a lot of believe that the election was stolen from them so there is that passion. but many people were very uncomfortable with what politics under donald trump in the white house look like. now there is a role in the media that was playing there and i hope there is more accountability in the media on what is happening there having worked in the white house and seeing how the inaccuracies within the 100 days of donald trump, i'm not looking forward to that if donald trump does when the presidency. and looking pretty terrible if it is biden. i’m presidency. and looking pretty terrible if it is biden.— terrible if it is biden. i'm sure some of the _ terrible if it is biden. i'm sure some of the us _ terrible if it is biden. i'm sure some of the us media - terrible if it is biden. i'm sure some of the us media may i some of the us media may disagree with that, but what you make of this poll, and south carolina, donald trump convincingly ahead. it poll, and south carolina, donald trump convincingly ahead. it seems too soon for —

in the house over some years including one involving a freezer of a democratic congressman being full of cash and even then they did not kick him out so whoever wins it will be better. then the liar, i will say that. it be better. then the liar, i will say that. ., , , be better. then the liar, i will say that. , ., .., ., , that. it has been an extraordinary amount of— that. it has been an extraordinary amount of media _ that. it has been an extraordinary amount of media coverage - that. it has been an extraordinary amount of media coverage for. that. it has been an extraordinary i amount of media coverage for pretty good reasons. thank you. i will be backin good reasons. thank you. i will be back in a moment. just heading to germany next. hundreds of thousands of people have come up across the country to protest against the far right. it follows a report last month by investigative outlet correctiv, which reported members of the far—right alternative for germany party discussed plans to deport millions of people with non—german ethnic backgrounds. the new measures fit three main categories: breaking up far—right networks and groups undermining the financing of right—wing extremists by targeting funding models, changing gun ownership laws to take away extremists weapons. the measures are all aimed at strengthening the country's response to far—right extremism and reinforcing institutions against attack.

here's the interior minister. translation: we want to smash these right wing extremist networks. - we want to deprive them of their income. we want to take away their weapons. in short, we want to use all the instruments of the rule of law to protect our democracy. let's bring back in our panel. carwyn jones, what you let's bring back in our panel. carwynjones, what you make let's bring back in our panel. carwyn jones, what you make of the potential threat of the response there? ., , potential threat of the response there? . , , ., ., there? clearly it is the threat that has been taken _ there? clearly it is the threat that has been taken seriously. - there? clearly it is the threat that has been taken seriously. not - there? clearly it is the threat that| has been taken seriously. not that lon- has been taken seriously. not that long ago— has been taken seriously. not that long ago it — has been taken seriously. not that long ago it was widely thought that germany— long ago it was widely thought that germany and spain and portugal had a experience _ germany and spain and portugal had a experience of fastest dictatorships were leaning from the far right and not so _ were leaning from the far right and not so as— were leaning from the far right and not so as we can see. germany was destroyed _ not so as we can see. germany was destroyed by— not so as we can see. germany was destroyed by the far right in the 40s _ destroyed by the far right in the 40s why— destroyed by the far right in the 40s. why it is now, it is difficult to imagine _ 40s. why it is now, it is difficult to imagine. there are reasons for it.

about extremist, i tried to think about extremist, i tried to think about what brings them to this place. is it isolation, lack of education, a sense of being persecuted, looking at the story it appeared that these proposals from the german government came after reports of a chat group where there were discussions in these discussions have been characterised as clans to deport people from other countries. —— plans. iwant to understand what those plans entail and where they actually feasible or are you talking about people talking. in the united states we place great value on free speech. that is not to say you do not monitor be concerned about extremist or a political strife but there is always the risk of causing extremist to become more extreme. of radicalising people further by giving them evidence of what may actually be paranoia as a some teeth to it. they will take away your money, they will take away your rights because of what you believe and that i fear you have a bigger problem. we and that i fear you have a bigger roblem. ~ , and that i fear you have a bigger roblem. . , .,

boosters starting at six months old despite the overall evidence that children receiving vaccinations are not really put at an advantage than those not. they are less likely to get severely ill with covid, less like you to transmit it and other countries around the world do not make those recommendations, but that does not affect the recommendations from the cdc. the reason this matters is the cdc by sticking to such an authoritarian stance and telling parents, who are not listening, many of whom are concerned about side effects such as in younger boys, myocarditis which is one reason my children are not in fact need to, two young boys. the parents are not adhering to the recommendation but the cdc continues to make it forcefully which i think is contributing to growing distrust across the political spectrum of institutions particularly in the united states. there is discussion about being concerned about the

nation's institutions that is a concern i would see both sides share for different reasons and our nations institutions have a responsibility to be more in line with the data and to be aware of their responsibility and not spreading further mistrusts and institutions, that if it grows, can lead to violence on both sides of the political spectrum. just lead to violence on both sides of the political spectrum.— lead to violence on both sides of the political spectrum. just a point on the science _ the political spectrum. just a point on the science of— the political spectrum. just a point on the science of what _ the political spectrum. just a point on the science of what you've - on the science of what you've mentioned there, the nhs, on myocarditis, rare pieces of information in the heart reported after covid effective summations, most who have had this recovered following frost & treatments. thank you for that. carwynjones, the floor is yours. in you for that. carwyn jones, the floor is yours.— you for that. carwyn jones, the floor is yours. in a world of dismal new something — floor is yours. in a world of dismal new something light. _ floor is yours. in a world of dismal new something light. bbc - floor is yours. in a world of dismal new something light. bbc wales l floor is yours. in a world of dismal. new something light. bbc wales and we have _ new something light. bbc wales and we have had a mistranslation of the welsh _

a 100th test for england. teammate 0llie pope says it's testament to stokes' talent and commitment. for anyone to play 100 tests is an unbelievable achievement, and i think he has of had his highs and lows in his career but what he has done since he has been captain has been amazing and there have been so many special moments you can look back on in his career, and think, jesus, this guy has change the game in a lot of respects, he has just got a way of bringing out the very best of him when it means the most to the team. there've been a couple of second round upsets at the qatar 0pen — where the fourth seed 0ns jabeur has lost to ukraine's lesia tsurenko, and the number two seed coco gauff has been knocked out by katerina siniakova. it was gauff�*s first match since losing in the semi—finals of the australian open last month. the 19—year—old lost the first set 6—2 and though she went 4—1 up in the second, siniakova won five games in a row to get her first win over a top ten player since 2022 — when she also beat gauff. the unseeded czech player will now face another

american danielle collins for a place in the quarterfinals. naomi 0saka's also through to the last 16. manchester city have one 3—1 thanks to the third goal from phil foden. real madrid, rb leipzig still 0—0. that's all the sport for now. hello there. good evening. gone now are those sunny skies across england and wales. instead, today, we've been seeing thickening cloud, showery outbreaks of rain on and off, milder—feeling conditions too, along with a brisk south—westerly wind. but the colder air hung on for much of scotland, also to the far north of northern ireland. some hazy sunshine on and off. but even here, it will be turning milder and more unsettled now as we head through the rest of the week, as that warm front continues to drag the mild air in from the south—west, displacing the colder air to the far north of scotland, where even here,

it'll disappear by the time we get to the end of the day tomorrow. but overnight tonight, still some showery outbreaks of rain on and off for much of the night across england and wales, more cloud being thrown across northern ireland. eventually, a wet start to the day here tomorrow. cloud, too, into the borders of scotland. but for many across scotland, clear skies, temperatures set to drop perhaps as low as —5 or —6 celsius in those sheltered glens. compare those temperatures to the double figures further south, where it's a very mild start to the day indeed. on wednesday, those weather fronts continue to push further northwards and eastwards. it's a wet start to the day across northern ireland, but the heavy rain will eventually clear, pushing into southern, central areas of scotland, where, as it bumps into the cold air, it will turn to snow, i think, across the cairngorms and the northwest highlands. some showers, too, further south across wales and the south coast of england, but in the middle, across northern ireland and perhaps to the far north—west of england, we could possibly see some brighter spells develop to the east of high ground later on through the afternoon. very mild, 1a or 15 degrees celsius for many in the south.

now, as we head through wednesday and into thursday, again, that deep area of low pressure will continue to push these fronts towards us. this is a cold front. by the time that sweeps through, temperatures will dip a little, but some particularly mild air on thursday across the south—east of england and east anglia. also some wet weather mostly towards the north and the west, a line of showers pushing into central, southern england by the time we get to the afternoon. but given any brightness out towards the east, temperatures could possibly rise as high as 16 or maybe 17 degrees celsius. by the time we get to friday, temperatures will drop just a little. there should be some brighter spells around on friday and a lot of dry weather, too. but the heavy rain returns perhaps on saturday night into sunday. bye— bye.
