hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. you're watching the context on bbc news. donald trump is ordered to pay more than $350 million in penalties in a landmark civil fraud case in new york. we start with that news. a new york judge ordered the former president to pay more than $350 million in his civilfraud trial. it's to pay more than $350 million in his civil fraud trial. it's for overstating his net worth to fraud

lenders. barred from serving as director of any new york corporation for three years. the legal spokesperson for donald trump said in this statement... that is the statement from donald trumps legal representatives. moments after we got the news, a

decision from thejudge moments after we got the news, a decision from the judge i spoke to a former us attorney. this decision from the judge i spoke to a former us attorney.— former us attorney. this is a devastating _ former us attorney. this is a devastating judgment. - former us attorney. this is a devastating judgment. not l former us attorney. this is a i devastating judgment. not only former us attorney. this is a - devastating judgment. not only are the damages well in excess of what mr trump had imagined and very close to the full amount that the new york attorney general thought. but with the new york state interest rate i imagined the final damage assessment will be well over $4 million. donald trump predicted months ago that the judge would apply the corporate death penalty for him. that seems to be what he's doing not only with the significant damages amounts but also barring him from serving as a top barring him from serving as a top barring him from serving as a top barring him and his sons from running any new york business for three years. this really goes to the heart of the trump business empire in a way that we have not yet seen. interesting. just remind us of the original accusation. what donald

trump has been found to have done wrong here. trump has been found to have done wrong here-— wrong here. months ago the 'udge found that donald * wrong here. months ago the 'udge found that donald trump h wrong here. months ago the judge found that donald trump had - found that donald trump had committed fraud in overstating the value of his properties in an attempt to obtain more favourable loan terms. in what's called a summaryjudgment decision the judge summary judgment decision the judge determined summaryjudgment decision the judge determined that that fraud had been committed. and a trial was held simply to determine the amount of damages and other consequences, including the appointment of a monitor as you mentioned earlier to it oversee the trump business. thafie it oversee the trump business. those details coming _ it oversee the trump business. those details coming out _ it oversee the trump business. those details coming out in _ it oversee the trump business. those details coming out in the _ it oversee the trump business. those details coming out in the last - it oversee the trump business. those details coming out in the last 90 - details coming out in the last 90 minutes or so. let's bring in our panel. good to see you again. let's start in the us. we now know some of the details. a pretty big sum of money, what do you make of it? i think it's an open question as to

whether and how much of an impact this actually will have on the us election. part of the challenge is that most of trumps legal problems concur with the prior views of each party for that republicans will viewed as persecution, the democrats will view it as confirmatory of what they already believe about the man. it's a question then that becomes will this have a material impact on swing voters? i think it's way too early to tell. in reality this election is likely to be de—cited simply on the domestic economy. and it is perceived trajectory. there was this theory back in time that trump would have some new legal challenges in the run—up to the election that one of several things would happen, either the republican electorate would decide to opt out

and she was someone else, a better horse. that is not happen. instead it was a rally effect towards him, viewing him as a victim. 0r it was a rally effect towards him, viewing him as a victim. or it would create such a weight, his legal morass would sink him in the general election. right now the polling looks fairly good for him. he's ahead in seven of the last 11 surveys. 0n ahead in seven of the last 11 surveys. on average is up one to two points. the incumbent president biden, his numbers are being challenged in parts of perceptions of the economy. which is really i think where the election will be decided. ., ., ., ., , ., think where the election will be decided. ., ., ., ., .,~ decided. caroline, what do you make of all this? i — decided. caroline, what do you make of all this? i can't _ decided. caroline, what do you make of all this? i can't even _ decided. caroline, what do you make of all this? i can't even think - decided. caroline, what do you make of all this? i can't even think of - of all this? i can't even think of a situation that _ of all this? i can't even think of a situation that anything _ of all this? i can't even think of a situation that anything like - situation that anything like this happening to a prime minister candidate, minister cabinet would not candidate, minister cabinet would nol result— candidate, minister cabinet would not result in that person step away and not _ not result in that person step away and not be — not result in that person step away and not be a candidate. as robert

wwwiii. as you see her air was in munich. at the security conference, here she is embraced by the president of the european council ursula von der leyen. earlier on stage this is what she said. but if it is true, i want putin and all his allies, all his friends, his government, i want them all to know that they would be held responsible for what they have done with our country, with my family, with with my husband. they will be held responsible for that. and that day would come very soon. and i want to call all international community or everyone who is present here today, people all over the world to unite to to unite and to win that evil,

to win that horrible regime which is currently existing in russia. if vladimir putin, this regime and mr. putin personally should have responsibility for all horrific things which they have done to our country, to my country in the last years. thank you very much. applause. an emotional response. let's speak now, thank you for coming on the program. what do you think should happen now? bill coming on the program. what do you think should happen now?— coming on the program. what do you think should happen now? all eyes on russia. all eyes _ think should happen now? all eyes on russia. all eyes on _ think should happen now? all eyes on russia. all eyes on russia's _ russia. all eyes on russia's remaining prisoners. and in any

dealings with the country and its official human rights second to none, it's been an ongoing situation for too long. i think the world is not regretting not having responded strongly in the past. these things come to tragically and isaac as a reminder that everything has a price. we lost alexei navalny, let's not lose others you said it's a reminder of what could've been done. what can be done? i reminder of what could've been done. what can be done?— what can be done? i believe quite a lot can be done. _ what can be done? i believe quite a lot can be done. as _ what can be done? i believe quite a lot can be done. as i _ what can be done? i believe quite a lot can be done. as i said, - what can be done? i believe quite a lot can be done. as i said, human i lot can be done. as i said, human rights principles should be taking into economic or other sick situation. it is not the sanctions and levers have to be used to the maximum. we call on all international levers to address this. we date to know what happened. and those responsible for the deaths standing trial in trial proceedings.

separate block where you not allow to lie during the day. his house was deteriorated —— his health was deteriorating for the three years ago they said if he is not given the medical care he requires he would die. we're hoping he wouldn't but he did today. now we need to understand exactly how this happened. ultimately we know what happened. he was put in conditions with lead to this. . ~ was put in conditions with lead to this. ., ,, , ., was put in conditions with lead to this. . ~' , ., , was put in conditions with lead to this. ., ,, i. , . was put in conditions with lead to this. . ~ , . ., was put in conditions with lead to this. ., ,, , . ., this. thank you very much for coming on the program- _ let's get more from our correspondent in washington will vernon. talk us through your experiences. my talk us through your experiences. ij�*i colleagues talk us through your experiences. ij�*i1: colleagues and talk us through your experiences. m1 colleagues and i in talk us through your experiences. ij�*i1: colleagues and i in moscow talk us through your experiences. ii1: colleagues and i in moscow covered almost all of the momentous and extraordinary events in alexei navalny�*s sc career going right back to 2011, that was when they were a

antigovernment protest in moscow of 200,000 people. that's where alexei navalny really made his name. where he really rose to national prominence before he was in the anti—corruption blogger. he made a series of speeches on that square. that's where he coined the term of the party of crooks and thieves, that's what he called vladimir putin is a political party, united russia. after that my colleagues and i covered his court cases because he was first arrested for embezzlement in 2013. that was the first of many run—ins with the law. arrest, imprisonment, court cases, all of which widely believed to be politically motivated. we were also there during campaign events because alexei navalny launched a presidential bid in 2017 for the 2016 he announced to end 2017 he did a tour right across the country opening a network of campaign offices. kind of incredible when you

think about that now as his organisation is outlawed as extremist in russia. of course he was poisoned in siberia in 2020 bight nova chuck, the my colleagues in 2021 were in the moscow airport where his plant plane was due to land. we're in the freezing cold with many thousands of his supporters who had gathered at the airport to welcome him home because he had made this decision to return to russia even though he had been poisoned there. and was recovering in germany. they are with were at the airport and just before the plane was due to land the authorities diverted it to another airport. incredible step to take to avoid videos, social media pictures in the media of alexei navalny being greeted by crowds. 0r potential for those crowds to start protesting.

they diverted his plane which then landed at a different airport in moscow. that was where he was arrested. from then he never came out of custody. he was sentenced to very long prison sentences from the air. that has led to where we're today. air. that has led to where we're toda . . ~ air. that has led to where we're toda . ., ,, i. air. that has led to where we're toda. ., ,, much for that. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news — bringing you different stories from across the uk. - with wide open space and expansive views, this gleadless valley, in sheffield could be a popular place to live. but the estate, which was built about 60 years ago, is becoming dilapidated while it waits for a £97 million face—lift. the refurbishment was first planned in 2017. we're now present, at 2024, and nothing has happened, not a single spade has hit the ground. very frustrated — frustrated for people living on the estate.

under the plans, blocks of maisonettes like this one were to be knocked down and replaced, and other homes were to be completely transformed. sheffield city council says it took five years to consult on and draw up the master plan because of covid and administration change. however, work will start next month to demolish a former care home. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. - you're live with bbc news. we have an update from the us— donald trump is we been reporting for the last hour or so has been ordered to pay more than $350 million. this is after he was found to have inflated the value of his property assets to get more favourable loan rates. thejudge has released a written decision for that that headline figure of $350 million

fine is the real headline. we've heard for the first time from donald trump in response to that put up a couple of messages on social media using the phrase of witchhunt in his opinion. let's speak to the us journalists, fellow atjust security. thank you for coming on the program. security. thank you for coming on the program-— security. thank you for coming on the program. thank you for having me. what the program. thank you for having me- what do _ the program. thank you for having me. what do you _ the program. thank you for having me. what do you make _ the program. thank you for having me. what do you make of - the program. thank you for having me. what do you make of this - me. what do you make of this decision by thejudge? this is a scathing decision. he called it remorseless notice of trump and his code to spend it pathological. and towards the top end of the penalty requested by the attorney general we will find out whether trump will be able to pay it given the $88.3 million verdict in the eg carroll case. i should say the second case. and the first case being a 5 million verdict. as two experts estimated

total liquid assets below what the combined total of all these are. we will find out the remic occasions of that. there are other parts, he's band from getting any loans from a new york bank for a period of time. he's banned from ever serving for three years as a director or officer of the new york corporation. this of course will go on appeal. let’s of the new york corporation. this of course will go on appeal.— course will go on appeal. let's talk about that appeal. _ course will go on appeal. let's talk about that appeal. does _ course will go on appeal. let's talk about that appeal. does that - course will go on appeal. let's talk about that appeal. does that mean basically that everything kind of pauses so that he will still be able to carry on doing whatever he is doing in the business world in new york until there is that decision? 0r york until there is that decision? or does he have to pause before hand? he or does he have to pause before hand? ., ., ., ., ,

overturned. because that was in the view of a key investigation, they couldn't find much precedent for this particular kind of case for the corporate death penalty. it's the new ruling on top of delivering this heavy, heavy financial penalty. also it seems to insulate itself a little bit on that review.— bit on that review. fascinating. adam, bit on that review. fascinating. adam. thank — bit on that review. fascinating. adam, thank you _ bit on that review. fascinating. adam, thank you for _ bit on that review. fascinating. adam, thank you for coming i bit on that review. fascinating. | adam, thank you for coming on bit on that review. fascinating. i adam, thank you for coming on the programme and giving your perspective. we'rejust programme and giving your perspective. we're just about out of time. i want to say a quick thank you and goodbye to our panel robert and carolyn, thank you very much for giving us your analysis onto hugely significant stories over the last hour. thank you very much for the just before i go i want to bring you the very latest we have from new york. donald trump now liable to pay that fine of more than 350 million

us dollars. he says he will appeal. we will see what happens next. thank you very much for your company. i lewis vaughanjones, this is bbc news. hello from the bbc sport centre. six time olympic gold medallist, sir chris hoy, has revealed he's undergoing treatment for cancer. the scot — who now works as a tv pundit since retiring — says he was diagnosed last year and that he's been having chemotherapy which is going well. the 47—year—old — the second most decorated 0lympic cyclist of all time says... on social media that his diagnosis came as a 'huge shock,

having had no symptoms'. he adds. what an incredible innings, and it could get even better for ben duckett, his team—mate mark wood was certainly impressed by what he's seen so far. joe wilson has more. the best heroes are local heroes. he resumed his innings post 100 and lasted just 20 minutes. england were thrilled with that. still the young spectators stayed positive, there is the reward. involving the crowd with a stylish six of england needed a break. they didn't need to drop catches. a spill by all the pope by general disbelief. the captain soon dropped

to for that and the reaction, catch that if you can. he made 46. the indicative for hundred and 45. if they come to watch him bowl well, that came next. duckett began england's reply in style, rapidly. zak crawley also dared but fell far 50. in this book at the 500th for ravi ashwin. 0ne 50. in this book at the 500th for ravi ashwin. one of the great test match careers. but bowling tube and docket these days can frustrate anyone. —— then docket. take ages 88 balls to make is 100. england shoe hundred and seven for two already. no visitors to india has ever taken on the test quite like this. what an incredible innings, and it could get even better for ben duckett, his team—mate mark wood was certainly impressed

by what he's seen so far. he has an got the accolades that he would like the big scores. today was his day. it was amazing to sit back and watch on battlefield we thought it would be tough to contain. duckett really took it on and played in that aggressive passion and put the pressure back on indiana. manchester city to end the unbeaten in the ws l. in the top of the women super league table. took a quarter of now for city to open the score at kings meadow. the 14th league goal of the season. she can add to that tally. cheating to thank for the 3—pointer she denied in added time. it was her seventh clean sheet of the season. chelsea's first home defeat in three years.

0ne game in the championship tonight with promotion chasing west bromwich the hawthorns with an early flashpoint with westbound manager being shown a red card for touching the ball whilst it was still in play. also taking the lead through ryan frazier for substitute david brooks out of the 2nd. they are into injury time now. states up to second if they hold on. another three super league matches tonight. at tight, to point separated them and the standings as saying for the currently rhinos leading byjust six points for the broncos beat to the top flight. giants are leading giants and finally heavy snow can bring many sports to a standstill, but not rallying. they're positively embracing all the white stuff at the second round of the world rally championship in sweden. britain's elvin evans has some work to do to get back on course though. this was quite a moment

for him on stage seven. he'll start tomorrow fifth overall and almost two minutes off the lead. treacherous conditions. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. it looks like things will be turning even milder as we head into this weekend. and where we get some sunshine, it really will feel quite spring—like. but there will be some rain in the forecast this weekend, particularly late on saturday during saturday night, and for england and wales, perhaps for sunday morning as well. so we're all into that milder air mass. as you can see, these darker orange colours introducing something a little bit warmer still as we move into saturday and sunday. but it does look like tonight, maybe a little bit cooler than it's been the last few nights. mostly dry and in any thicker cloud in the north and the west, there will be some spots of rain. and temperatures will dip close to 1—2 degrees across the far north—east of scotland. for most, though, 6—8 celsius.

so saturday starts off largely fine. this weak weather front will bring a band of clouds, some spots of rain, but it's these weatherfronts moving in behind later on which will bring the more substantial rain, with stronger winds here. so quite a lot of cloud, scotland, northern england, some splashes of rain with that weak weather front there. there will be some holes in the clouds to allow for some sunny spells again, but then the rain, stronger winds push into northern ireland. that spreads across the irish sea into western britain as we head into the afternoon. the temperatures could be up to 14, maybe 15 degrees in the warmest spots, but all areas will be in double figures. then through saturday evening, saturday night, that rain, wind spreads across the country. it will tend to clear from scotland and northern ireland, bar the odd shower, but it will take its time to clear away from england and wales. so it could stay quite wet by the end of saturday night across the south—east. temperatures coming down a little bit in the north, double figures in the south. sunday, then, these weatherfronts will take their time to clear england and wales. bit of a question mark on the speed

they do clear, but at the moment, it looks like it could be quite cloudy and wet to start sunday across much of england and wales. slowly, skies will brighten from the west, but there could be a hangback of that rain across parts of eastern england, east anglia and the south—east. but elsewhere, not a bad—looking day, i think, to come for sunday with some sunshine around. temperatures maybe a degree or so down in the north, but again, at 14—15 degrees across the south, so well above where we should be for the time of year. into the new week, it does stay on the mild side. increasing chance of rain and stronger winds towards the end of the week, where we'll also start to see temperatures coming down a little bit.

putin is responsible for navalny�*s death. putin is responsible. president biden directly accuses russia's president over the death in prison of his most prominent critic, alexei navalny. he'd been injail since 2021— and his death was announced by the prison service. floral tributes in russia and elsewhere to a man celebrated for his courage. his widow had this to say to president putin and his circle. translation: they will be held | responsible for everything they've done to our country, to my family and to my husband. we'll be asking what, if anything, the international community

can do in response — and what this now means for opposition in russia. also on the programme... donald trump is ordered to pay nearly £300 million by a new yorkjudge, in a landmark fraud case. it's in a landmark fraud case. an enormous fine and he been it's an enormous fine and he's also been banned from running a business in new york for the next three years. labour celebrates two decisive by—election wins, overturning big conservative majorities in kingswood and wellingborough. and could the royal family be brought closer by the king's cancer diagnosis? prince harry thinks it might. 0n newsnight at 10.30 — the man some said vladimir putin wouldn't dare to kill is reported dead. does alexei navalny�*s death show the russian president's total power or does it give him a political headache?
