his rival nikki haley vows to stay in the race, despite a fourth loss, this time in her home state. alexei navalny�*s body is finally returned to his mother more than a week after the russian opposition leader died under unexplained circumstances in an arctic penal colony. and the us and uk strike 18 locations in yemen: the fourth wave of coalition strikes on houthi targets. hello, i'm carl nasman. donald trump is the projected winner of south carolina's republican primary, easily defeating his only remaining rival for the republican presidential nomination, nikki haley. here's how the count is looking at this hour with just over 83% of votes counted. trump has 60% of the vote with haley trailing at 39%. but despite that projected loss

home state, the former south carolina governor has vowed to fight on, painting herself as an alternative to what she calls the chaos surrounding mr trump. ms haley faces an uphill battle. trump has dominated all five contests thus far — in iowa, new hampshire, nevada, the us virgin islands and now haley's home state — leaving her with virtually no path to the republican nomination. exit polls show more than four in 10 south carolina gop primary voters identified themselves as part of the maga movement and about nine in 10 of them backed trump. trump did particularly well with the parts of the republican base, including conservatives and white evangelicals. take a listen. now, we're a laughing stock all over the world. our country is going to be respected again — respected like never before. cheering and applause

so, this is a fantastic evening. it's an early evening and a fantastic, so you can all go down and you can celebrate for about 15 minutes and we have to get back to work. i said earlier this week that no matter what happens in south carolina, i would continue to run for president. cheering and applause i'm a woman of my word. cheering and applause that was nikki haley addressing her supporters in south carolina a few moments ago. helena humphrey has been following campaign and she in that ballroom where we saw nikki haley vowing to fight on and what did you make of the speech and the atmosphere there among her supporters? hikki among her supporters? nikki haley took — among her supporters? nikki haley took to _ among her supporters? nikki haley took to the _ among her supporters? nikki haley took to the stage - among her supporters? ii haley took to the stage trying to explain her rationale for carrying on in the race,

despite now coming off the back of her fourth straight loss, it appears, to donald trump. this time in her home state of south carolina. she says she believes this country wants change and she believes she is the person to take on president biden in a general election. the problem is that is nine months away and she has just lost four straight statewide votes to donald trump and, of course, she's got over 40% at one stage when she took to the stage but it's not going to the stage but it's not going to be enough to win her delegates, essentially, and delegates, essentially, and delegates are needed to secure the nomination. nevertheless, she has vowed to continue on, saying i am a woman of my word. headed to michigan tomorrow and then super tuesday, to rapturous applause as you would expect from supporters here in this ballroom. i've been speaking to those nikki haley backers. take a listen. she speaking to those nikki haley backers. take a listen.- backers. take a listen. she is an accomplished _ backers. take a listen. she is| an accomplished professional. she has— an accomplished professional. she has a _ an accomplished professional. she has a good sense of

her potentially a sense of momentum as she heads into the next very crucial of voting? i next very crucial of voting? i think it would be a talking point for nikki haley. that's what we saw on the stage tonight. she came onstage shortly after breaking the a0 percentage point mark and i think it was probably deliberate, to say we are outperforming when it comes to the polls. it has since dipped and we are waiting to see the final tally and we know in new hampshire she was at a3% and that was taking in independent voters as well but if you dig into the data what you will find is donald trump has been taking a majority when it comes to key demographics, men, women voters across all age groups. i think it is points to the fact that south carolina is still trump country.— that south carolina is still trump country. donald trump toniuht trump country. donald trump tonight also — trump country. donald trump tonight also addressing - trump country. donald trump tonight also addressing his i tonight also addressing his supporters, another victory speech for him. what's the atmosphere like around him and is this sense of inevitability just increasing for donald trump and maybe even potentially pivoting to some general election campaigning

and moving away from the primary is, even though this is still going on? —— primaries. i think it is and if you look at the basic maths, we know after super tuesday we have over 800 delegates up for grabs. there is no clear pathway at the moment for nikki haley to secure those and the total number of delegates needed to secure the nomination is 1215 and you could see potentially he is on track to wrap up the nomination and he says that it was up to him he would like to see the general election wrapped up before these future, these coming nine months and, of course, he very likely would because we know come the 25th of march, we will hear the first hearing in his criminal trial into hush money payments made to the adult film actress stormy daniels and i think nikki haley is banking on any kind of legal perils catching up kind of legal perils catching up with donald trump is perhaps being her outside shot at securing the white house. hat securing the white house. not “ust a securing the white house. not just a busy _ securing the white house. not just a busy election schedule but a busy legal one as well

for donald trump. eleanor humphrey reporting for us in south carolina. thank you very much —— helena humphrey. last hour, i spoke with hyma moore — he's a democratic strategist — and lanhee chen, a republican who served as an advisor with the mitt romney presidential campaign. thank you to you both for being here. lanhee, i wanted to get your thoughts firstly on nikki haley's speech — what did you make of it and really very similar messaging to what we've heard from her throughout this campaign? it didn't sound like a candidate who now lost her fourth state in a row. i think her message 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. now, some would say that's increasingly disassociative from reality but i think from her perspective, she's already made clear she is not interested in being his vice president.

her political calculus, i think, is very different from a lot of other republicans who really feel they have to be in the good graces of trump. now, i don't think she feels that way and i think furthermore, she doesn't believe 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 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. now, super tuesday will be an important milestone because a lot of delegates will be awarded and if she loses every single contest on that day, i think it is going to be hard at that point. mathematically even. mathematically but also from all of the murmurs going on around the party. how about you, hyma? what did you make of the speech? i thought she did a great job and she looked very presidential and i think that's the problem. she continues to do the things that you should do as a candidate but not getting any delegates and it's going to be a hard thing for her to contend with. she proved tonight that she is viable to a certain percentage

of the republican party, but it may not be enough to get over to the nomination. it's starting to look a bit like 2016, when bernie sanders ran against hillary clinton. he kept notching 35%, 35%, ao% here and there, but we knew early on that he would not be the nominee. and he caused some pain for hillary clinton campaign and clinton ended up losing and so, i think to this point, nikki haley is pointing out some really, really important things about donald trump that i believe the president — president biden and vice president harris will use against him and so, it could end — 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 results here but it has been shifting back 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 able then, lanhee, to make a case going forward that she does have some..? the critical number is really a0%. regardless of... she has to get a0% of the vote in south carolina? she talked about improving upon previous performances, so iowa, new hampshire was an improvement on that — and we'll throw nevade out for a minute — south carolina would be an improvement on new hampshire. for her to do that she needed to be closer to a5 and if she had got there, i think people would have said that's a good number. a number below a0 is probably not great. somewhere in the slot between a0— a5, i think is where she needs to be to make the momentum argument 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? a couple of things. firstly, he is winning the delegates and that's important — this is a delegate fight.

as you all know, the nominee will be decided based on the number of delegates. secondly, if you look at the number, while you can say that 40 or a bit less of the republican party may not be with donald trump, the vast majority are with him — both elected officials and those voting in the states — and it's been proven in iowa and new hampshire and nevada, to a certain extent, and maybe in michigan next week. so, donald trump is the clear leader of the republican party as it stands and he is going to continue to make that known. he didn't mention nikki haley in his speech today. when he wakes up tomorrow morning, he will go after her, i believe. he will be annoyed that she is still in the race because he believes all republicans, elected, voters, whatever the coalition is, should be behind him so he can go and beatjoe biden. lanhee, that support for donald trump reaches into the republican national committee. we heard he's starting to consolidate some leadership there — his own daughter—in—law becoming the co—chair?

yeah, and the republican national committee traditionally has worked closely with the nominee's campaign. i think this level of co—ordination and control at this point of the campaign would be unprecedented but it is clear that he's going to use that apparatus to raise money, to provide political support, to provide messaging support — all of the things that you need in a large general election campaign. so that level of control he is exerting is actually very important, both to the strategic goals of the trump campaign but also to the tactical things he is going need to run a successful campaign as we move towards the fall. hyma, you mentioned this dogfight of a race between bernie sanders and hillary clinton which eventually clinton won. but as we look at the race between haley and trump, we've seen some contentious issues coming up. we've seen the issue of foreign policy when it comes to nato and ukraine and support all lack of condonation for vladimir putin and we've seen now the issue of reproductive rights. which one of those issues do

you think will be key going forward when we eye a potential rematch now of biden and trump? i think all of the above. i believe the two issues that i think will emerge as the top issues will be abortion, immigration and the reform on that and then sort of a sub issue will be what's happening in israel and gaza and ukraine and the potential for china to take over taiwan. that's going to be a really important issue. i think abortion will be — and has been for years now, and it's something that in american culture we've debated for a very long time — but donald trump and joe biden both have a clear opinion on where they stand when it comes to women's rights to choose. donald trump has said he will enforce a national ban if he can and joe biden has says he and kamala harris will protect a woman's right to choose and freedom. and so, these issues will all emerge to be very important but i do believe that immigration and abortion will be the top issues for the next few weeks and months, and may be into to the general election.

in the meantime, the republican nominating process still not over. we will see how the final vote tally ends up and where those delegates are awarded tonight in south carolina. for now, hyma moore, lanchee chen — you just got in from london so we thank you. idid! thank you so much to you both for your thoughts. turning to russia now, because the body of opposition leader alexei navalny has been handed over to his mother, according to a family spokesperson. mr navalny died suddenly in prison last week. his mother had previously said she has been forced to sign a death certificate saying he died of natural causes. here's our russia editor steve rosenberg. alexei navalny�*s mother had spent a week trying to persuade the authorities to release her son's body so that she can lay him to rest. she's finally succeeded.

in a post on social media, a spokesperson for the late opposition leader announced that mr navalny�*s body had been handed over to his mother, 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 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. meanwhile in ukraine, world leaders gathered in kyiv on saturday to mark 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 201a, and areas in the east of the country controlled by russian—backed separatists. 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, olha

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 202a a decisive year for restoring real and long—term security for ukraine,

europe and the world. 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. the bbc�*s chief international correspondent lyse doucet has the view from kyiv.

the mood is very grim. ukrainians have to believe the promises of western leaders because they know they can't win this war without the support of western allies. and they are very grateful for all the help they've received but there is no hiding the fact that as this war enters its third year, ukrainian forces are now outgunned and outnumbered on frontlines. and ukrainians are realising that in addition to fighting military battles, they've also got to fight a political one, to keep urging their allies to keep sending arms and ammunition, and to send them more quickly. and there's certainty now when this war will end, no certainty over whether europe, britain, ukraine itself can fill the gaps now being left by the united states, which is delaying this critical aid. and every day of delay means deaths on the battlefield and more doubts, and those doubts are only playing into president putin's hands.

let's turn to the middle east. 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 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 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. meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis inside gaza is deepening. the un agency for palestinian refugees, unrwa, has paused aid deliveries to northern gaza, saying hungry and exhausted people have at times tried to capture aid from passing trucks. a british member of parliament has been suspended from the conservative party. lee anderson had refused to apologise for saying that islamists had gained control of the mayor of london, sadiq khan. the mp was deputy chairman of the conservatives until his resignation last month. pressure had been mounting on prime minister rishi sunak to take action over mr anderson's comments. mr khan criticised what he called a "deafening silence" from the prime minister and his cabinet. this man isn'tjust the mp for ashfield in the east midlands, he has a second job as a gb news presenter, and that's where he made his

controversial comments. i don't actually believe that these islamists have got control of our country, but what i do believe is they've got control of khan and they've got control of london. and, for good measure, he also accused london's mayor of giving the capital city away to his mates. sadiq khan is the first muslim mayor of london. he said lee anderson's remarks could raise tensions in the city. these comments from a senior conservative are islamophobic, are anti—muslim and are racist. we've seen over the last two days confirmation that over the last few months, there's been an increase in anti—muslim cases by more than 330%. these comments pour fuel on the fire. supporters of lee anderson will say he was simply making a point about pro—palestinian demonstrations, which take place regularly here in london. he believed the london mayor wasn't getting a grip on them. but that explanation clearly wasn't enough to satisfy the man in charge of conservative party discipline,

the chief whip. he had asked lee anderson to apologise for those comments and when he didn't, he was then suspended from the parliamentary party here at westminster. in a statement on social media tonight, lee anderson didn't say sorry, but did say: when david cameron was prime minister, baroness warsi became the first muslim woman to serve in the cabinet. she said the party had become too tolerant now of divisive language. the majority of british society rejects this kind of populist, post—truth, divisive politics and tragically, what it's doing is it's poisoning political debate and it's poisoning our political party, the conservative party. until last month, lee anderson was a deputy chairman of his party. but if his suspension lasts until the general election, he won't even be a conservative candidate. iain watson, bbc news.

let's turn to some other important news around the world. junior doctors in england have begun a five—day strike over a long—running dispute about pay and conditions. they say their pay has been cut by more than a quarter since 2008. this is their tenth round of strike action in less than a year. another body has been recovered from two burnt—out residential buildings in valencia, spain, bringing the death toll from the fire to 10. police are investigating what caused the blaze, though experts believe flammable cladding may have stoked the fire. the city is observing three days of mourning. you can catch up on all the latest results from the south carolina primary on our website. bbc.com/news. we have a live date —— page being updated from our correspondents on the ground. in the meantime, stay tuned for more right here on bbc news. hello there. we had fewer showers around

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 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 will be a dry day with some sunshine for a while.

voice-over: this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme. social media has crept into our lives. it connects us to our friends and helps us make new ones — but it has a hidden, dark side. i didn't want to be the one that would land in trouble for something that i'd been forced to do. i could have ended up dead.

gangs are taking advantage of social media to manipulate and control children. they were just scared kids. they'd been sold down the river on a promise of something that isn't real. as the police try to crack down on these gangs on the ground, we investigate how they target and entrap children online. i've gone undercover on snapchat as this 15—year—old girl. i can't believe they're already trying to sell me drugs. i had a pretty average childhood. but... ..i had very severe anxiety, low mood, depression. ifell out with people in my own year within the school. it was probably,

like, the loneliest i'd everfelt in my life.
