2:03 am
very loud and raucous nikki haley watch party tonight there in charleston, thank you very much for all of your reporting tonight. we have a panel with us to break it all down. with me here is democratic strategist hyma moore and former policy director to republican senator mitt romney's presidential campaign in 2012, lanhee chen. thank you to you both for being here. okri three, i wanted to get your thoughts firstly ongetta haley's speech, what did you make of it and really very similar messaging to what we've heard from her throughout this campaign? —— lanhee. it didn't sound like a candidate who has lost her fourth state in a row. i who has lost her fourth state in a row— in a row. i think a message will be consistent - in a row. i think a message will be consistent which - in a row. i think a message| will be consistent which she in a row. i think a message i will be consistent which she is going to continue to express this point of view for republicans who do not believe donald trump should be the nominee of the republican party and some would say that's increasingly disassociative from reality but i think from her perspective, she is already made clear she is not interested in being his vice president. political calculus i
2:04 am
think is very different from a lot of other republicans who really feel they have to be in the good graces of donald trump now i don't think she feels that way and i think furthermore she doesn't believe she is hurting president trump, she is hurting president trump, she believes what she is doing is giving voice to a part of the party that probably wouldn't support trump—era anyway so the fact that she is surfacing that is not really particularly meaningful in the long run so it's the same message from her. i do think she continues. super tuesday will be an important milestone because delegates will be awarded and if she loses every single contest on that day i think it is going to be hard about point. mathematically even. mathematically but also from all of the murmurs going on around the party. hair? from all of the murmurs going on around the party. how about ou, on around the party. how about you. hyma? — on around the party. how about you. hyma? i — on around the party. how about you, hyma? ithought- on around the party. how about you, hyma? i thought you - on around the party. how about you, hyma? i thought you did l on around the party. how about you, hyma? i thought you did ai you, hyma? i thought you did a treat 'ob you, hyma? i thought you did a great job and — you, hyma? i thought you did a great job and she _ you, hyma? i thought you did a great job and she looked - you, hyma? i thought you did a great job and she looked very i greatjob and she looked very presidential and i think that's the problem. she continues to do the — the problem. she continues to do the things that you should do the things that you should do as— do the things that you should do as a — do the things that you should do as a candidate without getting _ do as a candidate without getting any delegates and it's going — getting any delegates and it's going to be a hard thing for her to— going to be a hard thing for her to contend with. she proved tonight— her to contend with. she proved tonight she is viable to a
2:05 am
certain— tonight she is viable to a certain percentage of the republican party which may not be enough to get to the nomination. it's starting to look— nomination. it's starting to took a _ nomination. it's starting to took a bit _ nomination. it's starting to look a bit like 2016, when bernie _ look a bit like 2016, when bernie sanders won against hillary— bernie sanders won against hillary clinton and he kept notching 35%, 35%, 40% here and there _ notching 35%, 35%, 40% here and there but— notching 35%, 35%, 40% here and there but we knew early on he would — there but we knew early on he would not _ there but we knew early on he would not be the nominee. he caused — would not be the nominee. he caused some pain to hillary clinton _ caused some pain to hillary clinton in the campaign and she ended _ clinton in the campaign and she ended up— clinton in the campaign and she ended up losing and so i think to this — ended up losing and so i think to this point, nikki haley is pointing _ to this point, nikki haley is pointing out some really, really _ pointing out some really, really important things about dohaid — really important things about donald trump but i believe the president, visit apartment and vice president harris will use against — vice president harris will use against him and so it could end ”p against him and so it could end up hurting _ against him and so it could end up hurting him in my opinion. | up hurting him in my opinion. want to turn up hurting him in my opinion. i want to turn to donald trump up hurting him in my opinion. i want to turn to donald trump in a second but sticking with haley, obviously we are still waiting for final result here but it has been shifting back and forth anywhere from maybe 10- 15- 20% and forth anywhere from maybe 10— 15— 20% difference between the two, if nikki haley does outperform both polling numbers which had donald trump ahead by as many as 30 points, is she
2:06 am
able then, lanhee, to make a case going forward that she does have some amendment list? the critical number is really 40%. the critical number is really ito%. regardless of... she the critical number is really 4096. regardless of... she has to net 4096. regardless of... she has to get 4096 _ 4096. regardless of... she has to get 4096 of _ 4096. regardless of... she has to get 4096 of the _ 4096. regardless of... she has to get 4096 of the vote - 4096. regardless of... she has to get 4096 of the vote in - 4096. regardless of... she has| to get 4096 of the vote in south to get 40% of the vote in south carolina? to get 4096 of the vote in south carolina? ,, to get 4096 of the vote in south carolina? 7, . ~' to get 4096 of the vote in south carolina? ,, ., ,, ., ,., carolina? she talked about improving _ carolina? she talked about improving upon _ carolina? she talked about improving upon previous . improving upon previous performance and so iowa, new hampshire was an improvement on that and 33 out for a minute, south carolina would be an improvement on new hampshire. for her to do that she needed to be closer to 45 and if she had got there i think people would have said that the good number. a number below 40 is probably not great. somewhere in the slot between 40— 4051 think is where she needs to be to make the momentum argument you've talked about.— you've talked about. turning to donald trump, _ you've talked about. turning to donald trump, hyma, - you've talked about. turning to donald trump, hyma, what - you've talked about. turning to i donald trump, hyma, what does you've talked about. turning to . donald trump, hyma, what does a victory tonight which has already been projected do for him and what does it say about his hold on republican party? its, his hold on republican party? a couple of things, firstly he is winning _ couple of things, firstly he is winning the delegates and that's— winning the delegates and that's important. this is a delegate fight. as you all know

2:11 am
and this regarding the funeral: alexei navalny was vladimir putin's most vocal critic and he became russia's most famous prisoner. in this penal colony beyond the arctic circle, he was serving a 19—year prison sentence on charges widely seen as politically motivated. this is where he died. in a video message earlier today, his widow, yulia, had accused president putin of killing her husband and of holding his body hostage. the kremlin has previously described claims that it was behind mr navalny�*s death "obnoxious and unacceptable". at moscow's main cathedral, people queued to pay their respects to alexei navalny for, in the orthodox faith, the ninth day after death is a significant moment. outside, there were police
2:12 am
checks, officers demanding id from some of those who'd come here. and across town, more flowers. there are no details yet of when or where mr navalny will be laid to rest. the last thing the authorities will want is for his funeral to become a very public display of support for the man who had challenged the kremlin. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. turning now to ukraine, and world leaders gathered in kyiv today to show solidarity with the people of ukraine on the second anniversary of russia's full—scale invasion. this is what the country's territory looked like two years ago. you can see the crimean peninsula, annexed by russia in 2014, and areas in the east of the country controlled by russian—backed separatists.
2:13 am
this is the lay of the land now. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky today urged his people to keep fighting, insisting russia can't destroy their dreams. james waterhouse has this report from kyiv. it was a stage with significance, where a high—profile castjoined ukraine on this now solemn day. the ruins of the hostomel airbase near kyiv, where the tone of this war was set. russian forces descended here on the first day of their invasion. the objective was to use it as a landing base to take kyiv but the ukrainians stood firm and the capital held. this place is the symbol of moscow failure. this place is a symbol of ukrainian pride. but the cost of their defence is mounting. around the country, scenes of loss are constantly replicated. in nearby bucha, 0lha
2:14 am
visits her son's resting place. translation: my niece's husband and another niece's husband - are buried here, and the son of a friend from work. there are a lot of our guys here, school friends of my daughter, too. so many people. this is a different war from 2022. ukraine is hanging on instead of liberating and, unlike russia, it can't keep its economy on a total war footing and is, as ever, reliant on western help. under the chandeliers of the mariinsky palace, president zelensky signed security agreements with canada and italy. translation: we must do everything possible l and within our power to make 2024 a decisive year for restoring real and long—term security for ukraine, europe and the world.
2:15 am
but alongside all of this attention, there was an elephant in the room. press conferences like this for president zelensky are now about injecting urgency, but there is a notable absentee — the us. last year, there was a white house visit with president biden. this year, there hasn't been. but what will be more concerning to kyiv is a $60 billion military package still blocked by the us congress. so was today ukraine looking towards other allies to fill the gap? and are they even able to? shows of unity aren't enough to stop russian advances on the frontline. they're making their size count while kyiv is trying to buy time, but it's expensive. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. turning to the middle east now. the us and uk together have launched "more than a dozen" air strikes against houthi targets. in a statement, the uk defence secretary grant shapps said royal air force typhoons were involved in the precision
2:16 am
strikes — the fourth wave of strikes in response to the iran—backed fighters' attacks on commercial shipping in the red sea. it comes israel as continues its operation against hamas in gaza, carrying out air raids in the southern city of rafah. israeli leaders met on saturday night after the latest round of negotiations with the us, egypt and qatar on a new ceasefire in gaza in exchange for the release of hostages held by hamas. in israel, clashes broke out at protests demanding the release of those hostages. police in tel aviv used water cannon to disperse the demonstrators. who are also calling for the resignation of the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. now to the growing fight over reproductive rights in the us. the alabama attorney general says his office won't prosecute fertility clinics, despite a new ruling by the state's highest court that frozen embryos be considered children. last week's ruling by
2:17 am
the alabama supreme court prompted chaos for in vitro fertilization providers and patients with local lawmakers scrambling for answers to protect the procedure that helps women with fertility problems have a baby. ivf is opposed by some conservatives and christians. the bbc�*s nomia iqbal has been speaking to a leading lawmaker in alabama working to protect the procedure. there has been huge reaction by politicians across the country to this ruling but it's actually local lawmakers here who are under pressure by constituents to come up with a solution. republicans say will introduce a proposal that protects ivf treatments whereas democrats have put forward a bill which effectively pauses the ruling and allows treatments to continue as before. i've been speaking to alabama house minority leader anthony daniels. i alabama house minority leader anthony daniels.— anthony daniels. i think that it's important _ anthony daniels. i think that it's important that _ anthony daniels. i think that it's important that people i it's important that people across the world weigh in on this issue. that alabama has an
2:18 am
opportunity to write this wrong. by putting the pressure on alabama so other states don't follow suit because other supreme courts may want to — other lawsuits will be filed to address this issue and we want to make certain that we are able to get the train back on track and if we are unable to do that, it will have a very wide domestic approach that is not going to be good for families and future families in america. ., ~' families and future families in america. ., ,, ., ., , america. you think that what is happening _ america. you think that what is happening here _ america. you think that what is happening here in _ america. you think that what is happening here in alabama - america. you think that what is i happening here in alabama could go beyond the state's borders? i do. i do. it depends on the reason we are talking about and where we are talking about but i think it could have those implications. those other countries and other places that consider themselves to be extremely conservative could follow suit.— extremely conservative could follow suit. have republicans been saving _ follow suit. have republicans
2:19 am
been saying anything - follow suit. have republicans been saying anything to - follow suit. have republicans been saying anything to you | been saying anything to you behind closed doors that they are not saying publicly? absolutely, that's been the case. i've heard from at least three individuals that are in very prominent positions that have voiced their concern and they have heard from their constituents. in fact, they have heard from their constituents. infact, many they have heard from their constituents. in fact, many of the calls are coming from areas where, as you know, this process is not an affordable process is not an affordable process and so, in many instances, many of the individuals who are making calls are from their districts, districts that have more resources than others with a higher income class and so, therefore, they are receiving these calls from their constituents and so, they are being pressured to really address the issue fairly quickly. extreme weather events are on the rise worldwide as climate change fuels stronger hurricanes and more frequent wildfires. now, a new study shows millions are being driven from their homes by natural disasters. the us census bureau estimates that 2.5 million people
2:20 am
in the us were displaced in 2023 due to 28 weather—related disasters that year. the most commonly cited cause of displacement by respondents to the survey was hurricanes, followed by floods and fires. the states most impacted were florida, texas and california, where hundreds of thousands had no choice but to move. it's a further reminder that that extreme weather driven by climate change is affecting our lives already — something jake bittle has covered in his book the great displacement. i spoke with him a short while ago. jake, thank you very much forjoining us to speak about these really impactful numbers. according to this latest study, an estimated 2.5 million people just in the united states have been displaced by extreme weather. what's your reaction to that number? how surprising is that to you? yeah, so, it's not very surprising. i think what's interesting about the data is that for a long time, there really was almost no good quality data
2:21 am
about how many people were getting displaced in the united states by natural disasters every year. and i think that few experts would be surprised to hear this topline numberjust because the reach and scope of most of these disasters has gotten so large. i think the important thing to note is that we don't quite know is how long most of them have been displaced whether this is displacement for a day, 0ra or a month or what. there are breakdowns of data but the sample sizes and large enough to give us complete confidence. i think we can have some trust in the top line number, about 3 million last year about 2,500,000 this year, which makes sense because it was a slightly less severe year for disasters and it underlines that permanent toll of these disasters in the us has gotten quite large and in any given year, in the thousands and thousands of people can be expected to be operated —— uprooted because of floods and fires etc. in your book, the great displacement, you covered some of these communities that have been forced to leave their homes.
2:22 am
tell us who exactly is being displaced in the united states by these extreme events and by climate change? right, yeah, so the people who are most vulnerable to this displacement are people who live in areas that are of high perennial risk from hurricanes and wildfires most significantly. so, this is people in the gulf coast, the east coast of the united states and much of the intermittent west of california. the question of who doesn't get to return to their homes after they've been displaced is really interesting. i think we don't quite have enough data yet to see what the full scale of permanent displacement is or whether most people are going back to their homes after a short period of time. but in my admittedly anecdotal experience working on the book, it was people who are under—resourced who didn't have savings, who are underinsured, didn't have insurance at all. those people who rented, those people tended to have a much harder time staying and rebuilding the dwelling that had been
2:23 am
destroyed or even staying in the same town or general area. so, in general, the more tenuous your hold on ownership and the less insurance you have, the more likely you are to not ever really make it back to that original home that gets damaged or destroyed in a disaster. i know in your book, you were covering these coastal communities in louisiana. we have also seen wildfires hitting several parts of the united states recently. how vulnerable is the country to this kind of displacement going forward? it's extremely vulnerable. i think that over the course of the 20th century, we saw developers build a lot of really, really vulnerable places. they threw up millions of homes on coastlines that are eroding. they built subdivisions in areas that were bound to burn. and in the case of cities like phoenix, they built thousands of homes in areas with really tenuous water supply. so, it's been a kind of two trains running on the same track toward each other affect, where the climate is getting more severe and disasters are getting worse and more frequent and also, we have been
2:24 am
building in places that were always very risky, so the united states among developed countries is probably among the most vulnerable, just because we pushed so far into the areas of really high risk. jake, when it comes to adaptation, what should countries like the united states but, really, around the world be doing to prepare for what scientists say will be more extreme weather to come? yeah, so there is a serious economic benefit to making large upfront investments in climate adaptation or what some people call resilience. the united states, after quite a while of not really doing this, has pushed a couple billion dollars as a result of the bipartisan infrastructure law that was signed in 2021. so right now, we arejust experimenting, basically, try to figure out what works. is it buying houses and moving people back from the shore? is it nature—based solutions to soak up water to deal with flooding? we don't quite know what is the most cost effective and what yields the most long—lasting protection but we have to figure out fast
2:25 am
and i think the number one thing that countries and the us have to do — and other countries are doing this already — is put as much money as they can afford in the near term and to get people out of harm's way and to sort of retrofit existing homes and infrastructure to make them more durable as these disasters get worse. many people say it will only get more expensive the longer we wait. jake biddle, staff writer covering climate change and also author of the book the great displacement on climate migration, thank you so much forjoining us. donald trump predicted to win the south carolina republican primary, defeating the state's former governor eddie haley, trump holding about a 20 point lead in early returns and we will continue to keep you updated on this story right here on bbc news. —— nikki haley. hello there. we had fewer showers around
2:26 am
on saturday and with clearer skies and light winds, it is turning pretty chilly out there. but we've got some more rain to come, i think, on sunday. it's going to come from this area of low pressure. now, that's going to tend to slide across towards france and that's where we'll get any mild air heading. we're still going to be in the chillier conditions and we've got a more widespread slight frost by early morning. again, the lowest temperatures, like the previous night, are going to be in north east scotland — minus five or minus six. and mist and fog patches, too, which will be a little slow to clear in the morning. but we'll see rain developing across south west england and south wales during sunday morning, and that rain develops more widely across the southeast of england during the afternoon. away from here, though, we are going to find the odd shower cropping up but many places will be dry with some sunshine after the early mist and fog and again, temperatures around eight or nine degrees. it's getting windy with that rain in the south and more rain is not good news at all — 15—25 centimetres quite widely could lead to some further flooding. and the rain should clear away from south wales and south west england on sunday night but continue in the southeast, where it's
2:27 am
going to be very windy — strong to gale force winds here. a few showers will get blown in further north from off the north sea but with more of a stronger northeasterly wind for england and wales, it won't be as cold. frosts early monday in scotland where we've got the clearer skies. a few showers in scotland and northern ireland shouldn't last too long. the rain slowly creeps away from the far southeast of england and then, with that northeasterly wind, there'll be some sunny spells for england and wales and maybe the odd shower around as well. quite windy, actually, towards the southeast, particularly in the morning — strong to gale force winds here. the winds ease a bit in the afternoon and again, we'll see typical temperatures on monday around nine celsius. so, as one area of low pressure brings some rain in the south of england then moves away, we'll see this brief ridge of high pressure overnight into tuesday morning, so turning chilly in the south ahead of a weather front that will bring some rain down from the northwest this time. so, we'll see some rain on tuesday across scotland and northern ireland, followed by sunshine and showers. that rain heading into england and wales. east anglia and the southeast still look like being fine and dry here but turning more cloudy. the rain will tend to peter out as it runs southwards. and, for many parts of the country, wednesday
2:28 am
will be a dry day with some sunshine for a while.
