donald america. i want to defeat donald trump _ america. i want to defeat donald trump fair— america. i want to defeat donald trump fairand square, america. i want to defeat donald trump fair and square, i want him on that ballot _ the us supreme court rules colorado cannot stop donald trump running for office. it has overturned today a decision to disqualify him from the ballot. that sets up a rematch of the 2020 election, biden v trump — a contest 70% of the country says it doesn't want. we'll look at the court's decision and the politics around it. also tonight... israel accuses the un agency responsible for distributing to palestinians of employing over a50 people who involved in the october the 7th attacks. we get reaction from new york, where the general assembly is discussing the humanitarian crisis. and some big votes tonight in the house of lords, where peers are debating the british government's rwanda bill. we'll bring you that live.

good evening. in fact, that is where we're going to start. the prime minister pledged the planes for rwanda would be leaving britain this spring. it's now almost two years since ministers first announced their plan to send some migrants to east africa. and the costs continue to mount. a recent report from the national audit office suggests the cost of the policy, whether or not anyone is ever sent there, stands at £370 million. mr sunak says it is the deterrent they need, and should be considered a cost saving, since the bill to house asylum seekers in britain will reach £11 billion a year by 2026. tonight the house of lords will have their say. we are watching live the debate in the chamber, where possible changes to the bill will be adopted. that is the scene from the floor of the house of lords as we speak. we are expecting a vote very shortly. our political correspondent harry farleyjoins me now from westminster. the government has already suffered a defeat today on its bill in

relation to whether the this applies to international law. yes. relation to whether the this applies to international law.— to international law. yes, five times the _ to international law. yes, five times the peers _ to international law. yes, five times the peers in _ to international law. yes, five times the peers in the - to international law. yes, five times the peers in the house | to international law. yes, five i times the peers in the house of lords has voted down the government already this evening, and yet on that amendment to include clause that amendment to include clause that the bill must adhere to international law, but also other amendments to delay the implementation of the plan until protections are in place, and there are a number of other things as well. this is the government's plan to send some asylum seekers arriving on small boats to rwanda for them to claim asylum there instead. rishi sunak argues that this bill is necessary to provide a deterrent to stop people getting on small boats to cross the channel. he is a concern that the way he wants to do thatis concern that the way he wants to do that is by blocking further legal challenges to it. if you remember last year the supreme court ruled that the scheme was unlawful because

it had concerns about whether rwanda was a safe country, and the bill says no, rewind is safe, and the courts can't hear claims to the contrary. if you remember earlier this year, rishi sunak urged the house of lords not to come in his words, frustrate the will of the people, and urge them to back the legislation. if it is in the house of lords heard that, they are certainly not listening, as by majorities of around 100 they had voted against the government five times already this evening. so voted against the government five times already this evening.- times already this evening. so are the lord's objecting _ times already this evening. so are the lord's objecting to _ times already this evening. so are the lord's objecting to the - the lord's objecting to the principle of off shoring migrant policy, or is there a constitutional issue that the court has already decided this issue in respect to rewind the question is that their biggest problem? the rewind the question is that their biggest problem? rewind the question is that their bi est roblem? . ,., biggest problem? the amendment so far this evening _ biggest problem? the amendment so far this evening have _ biggest problem? the amendment so far this evening have more _ biggest problem? the amendment so far this evening have more focus - biggest problem? the amendment so far this evening have more focus on l far this evening have more focus on the latter point, on the constitutional question and on whether the government can just overrule a decision of the supreme court. i can read you a quote to show you the strength of feeling in the house of lords. one lord said,

in all my years as a minister and a member of parliament, i never told a lie and i am being asked here to tell a lie. he goes on to say, for goodness' sake, let's tell the truth. and that is because the supreme court said was concerned that wanda wasn't safe to send asylum seekers too, and the government said it is because we have signed this treaty, and the courts can't say anything to the contrary. 50 courts can't say anything to the contra . ., . , ., contrary. so the government has not offered many — contrary. so the government has not offered many facts _ contrary. so the government has not offered many facts as _ contrary. so the government has not offered many facts as to _ contrary. so the government has not offered many facts as to how - contrary. so the government has not offered many facts as to how it - contrary. so the government has not offered many facts as to how it is - offered many facts as to how it is going to improve the situation in rwanda. we are told rewind is drafting an asylum law. we are told that people are being retrained in rwanda to the satisfaction of the british authorities. if that progress was put forward, the lords wouldn't have a problem with sending migrants to rwanda? thea:e wouldn't have a problem with sending migrants to rwanda?— migrants to rwanda? they will get to some of the — migrants to rwanda? they will get to some of the more _ migrants to rwanda? they will get to some of the more fundamental- some of the more fundamental objections to this bill on wednesday, but you're right, today the amendments that they are talking about are they say that the bill should not be implemented until those changes have been put in place. but they say they haven't

been put in place yet, and so that bill cannot go through. but been put in place yet, and so that bill cannot go through.— bill cannot go through. but for --eole bill cannot go through. but for peeple who — bill cannot go through. but for people who don't _ bill cannot go through. but for people who don't watch - bill cannot go through. but for people who don't watch this i bill cannot go through. but for. people who don't watch this very closely and don't know, the house of lords isn't elected in the uk, therefore we have rather curious bing bong —— ping—pong with this bill going backwards and forwards between the lords in the commons. yes, it puts the lords on a collision course with the government. they will send the bill back to the house of commons which is the elected chamber in the uk, and the house of commons are likely to simply overturn all the changes and send it back to the lords. ultimately the lords won't block the law as a whole, that they can delay it, and we are expecting a general election here in the uk at some point later this year. rishi sunak, the prime minister, wants to get flights off before then.— flights off before then. while i have not flights off before then. while i have got you. _ flights off before then. while i have got you, harry, - flights off before then. while i have got you, harry, george l flights off before then. while i - have got you, harry, george galloway took his seat in the house of commons today, pledging his

suddenly there is, potentially, if george galloway were to get his way. that is right, and i think george galloway will be looking to be a thorn in the side of sir keir starmer, the labour leader, particularly over this issue of the conflict in gaza. he said he wants to shake the walls of the house of commons for gaza, and i think there is concern, both among labour but also in the government, about the tone of public debate, particularly around the conflict in the middle east, and the effect that is having on the safety of mps, and i think the arrival of george galloway, he has been a passionate campaignerfor the palestinian cause for a long time, will do nothing to calm emotions around how this conflict is affecting politics in the uk.- affecting politics in the uk. harry, aood to affecting politics in the uk. harry, good to see _ affecting politics in the uk. harry, good to see you. _ affecting politics in the uk. harry, good to see you, thank— affecting politics in the uk. harry, good to see you, thank you - affecting politics in the uk. harry, good to see you, thank you very l affecting politics in the uk. harry, - good to see you, thank you very much for that. we will keep you up—to—date with that as and when

things wrap—up. tomorrow is a key date in the race for the white house. it is super tuesday, 15 us states will hold their primaries. and today the supreme court cleared the path for donald trump to run in colorado. the nine justices overruled the states decision that the republican frontrunner should be removed from the ballot, under clause three, the insurrection clause of the 14th amendment, because of his role in the january 6th riot. the supreme court concluded that states can "disqualify persons from holding or attempting to hold state office". but "states have no power under the constitution to enforce section three with respect to federal offices, especially the presidency". trump called the ruling a "win" for the country. i think it will go along i think it will go a long way toward bringing the country together, which our country needs. they work long and hard, and frankly they worked very quickly on something that will be spoken about a hundred years from

now, 200 years from now, extremely important. the nomination for the republican party looks like a bit of a done deal, but nikki haley, his opponent, is not pulling out. in fact, in a campaign rally a short time ago in texas, she made reference to this decision. ,, , ., decision. the supreme court ruled toda that decision. the supreme court ruled today that donald _ decision. the supreme court ruled today that donald trump - decision. the supreme court ruled today that donald trump can - decision. the supreme court ruled today that donald trump can stayl decision. the supreme court ruled l today that donald trump can stay on the ballot _ today that donald trump can stay on the ballot i— today that donald trump can stay on the ballot. ithink today that donald trump can stay on the ballot. i think that was important. we don't ever want some elected _ important. we don't ever want some elected official or anybody else saying — elected official or anybody else saying who can and can't be on a ballot _ saying who can and can't be on a ballot this _ saying who can and can't be on a ballot. this is america. this is america _ ballot. this is america. this is americe ilt— ballot. this is america. this is america. i'll defeat donald trump a fair and _ america. i'll defeat donald trump a fairand square, but america. i'll defeat donald trump a fair and square, but i want him on that ballot — fair and square, but i want him on that ballot-— fair and square, but i want him on that ballot. �* . ., , , ., that ballot. adam “oins us from new york. thank _ that ballot. adam “oins us from new york. thank you — that ballot. adam joins us from new york. thank you for _ that ballot. adam joins us from new york. thank you for being _ that ballot. adam joins us from new york. thank you for being with - that ballot. adam joins us from new york. thank you for being with us i that ballot. adam joins us from newj york. thank you for being with us on the programme. the important thing to say is that the court didn't decide whether donald trump engaged in insurrection. they were silent on that. so on what basis have they

come to their decision? that that. so on what basis have they come to their decision?- come to their decision? that is exactly right. _ come to their decision? that is exactly right, and _ come to their decision? that is exactly right, and thank- come to their decision? that is exactly right, and thank you i come to their decision? that is | exactly right, and thank you for having me. they decided, as you said a little bit earlier, on the grounds of state does not have the power to enforce section three of the 14th amendment, now what does that mean? what brought us to this pass is at the colorado supreme court and the secretary of state in maine after that have decided that this amendment was self—executing, that trump threw their findings had engaged in an insurrection, and those parts of the ruling remain. what the supreme court decided is essentially restoring trump to the ballot, saying it is not up to the

states, and by a slim majority found that there is only one way that this disqualification clause can be enforced, and that is for an act of congress, severely limiting its scope and clearing that hurdle for trump in the 2024 election. 50 scope and clearing that hurdle for trump in the 2024 election. so 'ust to be ceanl — trump in the 2024 election. so 'ust to be ceanl «fl trump in the 2024 election. so 'ust to be clear, if he i trump in the 2024 election. so 'ust to be clear, if he was i trump in the 2024 election. so 'ust to be clear, if he was convicted h trump in the 2024 election. so just to be clear, if he was convicted of l to be clear, if he was convicted of insurrection, or interference in the election, there would still need to be a vote in congress to confirm that he is removed from the ballot? the courts alone cannot do that? that is a very interesting question, and i've heard legal debate raging, because the very statute of insurrection under some legal theory could be decided to be an act of congress, but to an extent, that is pretty academic, because remember, trump is in charge under the statute

of insurrection. the charges that he is facing with regard to the january six attack on the us capital are conspiracy to defraud the united states, to obstruct an official proceeding and other statutes, so for all practical purposes, the supreme court left this up to the us congress, which it seems quite clear is not going to come up with a statute that would lay out the rules by which this disqualification clause can be enforced. but your point a little bit earlier, the findings by originally a trial court after a trial on this issue and by a majority of the colorado supreme court, every court that engaged with the basic premise, the central

question, of did president trump engage in an insurrection, every court that grappled with that issue found that he did. and no court that grappled with that issue found the opposite. grappled with that issue found the o- osite. , . opposite. interesting. let me read out to our viewers _ opposite. interesting. let me read out to our viewers what _ opposite. interesting. let me read out to our viewers what amy - opposite. interesting. let me read| out to our viewers what amy coney barrett wrote, and reid tweeted today. the court has settled, she said, a politically charged issue in the volatile season of the presidential election, particularly in this circumstance, writings of the court should turn the temperature down not up. for present purposes our differences are far less important than our unanimity, and we are united on the outcome of this case. that is interesting in two directions. first of all, they are concerned how their rulings will be viewed at what is a particularly divisive moment, that is the first thing to say. divisive moment, that is the first thing to say-— thing to say. absolutely. that is absolutely _ thing to say. absolutely. that is absolutely correct, _ thing to say. absolutely. that is absolutely correct, and - thing to say. absolutely. that is absolutely correct, and you - thing to say. absolutely. that is|

absolutely correct, and you were saying, another interesting thing about it is the acknowledgement of the controversy surrounding it. on a very basic sense, this was a potentially extremely divisive issue. it doesn't get more polarising than whether or not to disqualify the front runner of a major party. but disqualify the front runner of a major party-— disqualify the front runner of a major party. disqualify the front runner of a ma'or -a . �* . major party. but you could read it another way. _ major party. but you could read it another way, because _ major party. but you could read it another way, because she - major party. but you could read it another way, because she says i major party. but you could read it| another way, because she says for present purposes we are agreed, and of course there is a bigger decision on their plate, and that is the immunity case, which they weren't bound to take, they have taken it, but they won't hear it until april and they will give a decision in june, and many people thought that was the court helping donald trump to delay the process. so do we sense from her phrasing that they are more divided on that issue than they were on this? i

divided on that issue than they were on this? ., ,._ . , divided on that issue than they were on this? ., _ . , . on this? i would say that there is a sharp division _ on this? i would say that there is a sharp division on _ on this? i would say that there is a sharp division on both, _ on this? i would say that there is a sharp division on both, and - on this? i would say that there is a sharp division on both, and let - on this? i would say that there is a sharp division on both, and let me | sharp division on both, and let me explain why. one, i think amy coney barrett, the context of that separate statement in regard to this concurrence of the opinion is that she agreed with the courts' liberals, justice jackson and so on, on the issue of fundamentally, did the court go too far. they all agreed, and where this is unanimous, and not only unanimous, but the court speaking in one voice on the question of, is the ruling of the colorado supreme court, can it stand? no it cannot. aware they agree on that is that it would be chaos, in the court's phrasing, to have any state administrator or judiciary make a binding decision on the presidency itself, and that is

where the court agrees. now, and a 5-4 where the court agrees. now, and a 5—4 decision with amy coney barrett joining the liberals in all but in word, she didn'tjoin them, but she shared the view of them, that the court went too far. they could have just said the states can't wade in. but they affirmatively said here is how congress can wade in, and it is on so limiting, it all but clears transfer loss, and it also might be a significance to come with the immunity case. —— it all but clears trump a's hurdles. and where does the courts stand on this broad scope of presidential immunity? he might have a tough time with one of his appointees, amy coney barrett. really good to get your thoughts on that, thank you. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

let's look at some other stories making news. charities and campaigners are urging ministers to set up an inquiry into the treatment of unaccompanied children seeking asylum in the uk. the call comes after an official report said basic checks to keep children safe in asylum hotels were not carried out. the home office said the welfare of the children was an utmost priority. there will be no option of a life on benefits for young people under labour according to its shadow work and pensions secretary, liz kendall. new figures show more than 850,000 people between the age of 18 and 24 were not in work, education or training in the last three months of last year. a rare ferrari stolen 28 years ago from an ex—formula one driver in london has been recovered by police. the vehicle was shipped to japan after it was taken from gerhard berger in 1995. the car, worth £350,000, was one of

two ferraris were stolen. the other remains missing. no arrests have been made. you're life with bbc news. the us vice president kamala harris is meeting with israeli opposition leader benny gantz today as the white house. the us administration is getting increasingly fed up with benjamin netenyahu and his wartime government. there was no invitation today for the israeli pm, who instructed his ambassadorn not to attend the meetings. yesterday the vice president used her speech in alabama to ramp up the administrations calls for a cease—fire. the threat hamas poses to the people of israel must be eliminated, and given the immense scale of suffering in gaza, there must be an immediate cease—fire. last week president biden said a ceasefire would come as early as today. but hopes are fading for any imminent agreement. the talks did continue

for a second day in cairo, but without any israeli involvement. the israeli have refused to send a delegation until hamas delivers a detailed list of which hostages are still alive and would be released as part of a deal. right now the general assembly in new york is meeting to address the humanitarian situation in gaza. the hearing has been told there are reasonable grounds to believe that sexual violence occurred during and after the hamas attacks on israel on october the 7th. he is what a top un expert said in the last hour. tote october the 7th. he is what a top un expert said in the last hour.- expert said in the last hour. we -- with regard — expert said in the last hour. we -- with regard to _ expert said in the last hour. we -- with regard to the _ expert said in the last hour. we -- with regard to the hostages, - expert said in the last hour. we -- with regard to the hostages, we i expert said in the last hour. we -- i with regard to the hostages, we have evidence that there was rape, sexualised torture and cruel and dehumanising treatment committed on the captives, and we have grounds to believe such violence still may be ongoing against those still held in captivity. i must add that i am of the strong

opinion that this finding does not in anyway legitimise further violence, but actually reinforces the need for an urgent ceasefire. nada tawfik is watching this for us. for those watching southern israel knocked october the 7th, and also those taken into gaza, also this line from daniel hagari that 450 military operatives for hamas were working for unraa. what is made of that? , ., , ., .,

they found that story was unfounded. they also weren't able to established that there was any overall pattern of mutilation, and they also said in their visits to they also said in their visits to the west bank that they met with civil society, the west bank that they met with civilsociety, had the west bank that they met with civil society, had direct interviews with people there, and had received information about sexual violence committed against those in detention settings, during house raids and at checkpoints, and said that that would also be given to those un bodies investigating sexual violence in gaza and the west bank, so that was a briefing. there is also this un general assembly meeting about unrra, and that is there to really defend the agency. we are going to hear that the agency is at breaking point and really hitting back against these allegations by israel that it staff was involved in october the 7th, saying there is no evidence yet, and that he sees this

maybe some showers pushing into northern ireland. now where we have the cloud and the rain, then temperatures won't be as low as where they'll be, where skies clear, and, again, a touch of frost, maybe the odd mist or fog patches, winds fall light. then into tuesday, we've got that overnight weather front pushing off in towards the north sea, another front pushing into northern ireland, western scotland, that'll enhance the shower activity here. could take a while for that front to clear the east coast of both scotland and england. eventually it will do, and it brightens up with plenty of sunshine. could still see a few showers towards the south and the south east of england, the odd heavier one. but most places, i think, away from these fronts, should be dry with some sunshine. top temperatures, 11 or 12 celsius once again, pretty much where we should be this time of year. into wednesday, we see this blocking area of high pressure over scandinavia begin to exert its force across the country. it will start to push the weather fronts out back into the atlantic. so i think many places should be dry on wednesday, variable cloud across scotland and eastern england. perhaps the odd shower, the odd shower perhaps for cornwall up towards northern ireland.

otherwise most places should have a dry day with lots of sunshine around, and the breeze will be picking up from the south east. top temperatures again, 12 or 13 celsius. similar story on thursday, if anything, that area of high pressure just edges a bit further westwards, pushing those fronts out into the atlantic. could be a bit more cloud around generally on thursday, central, northern, eastern areas, maybe the odd shower mixed into it. but there will be some sunshine around, probably the best of it in western scotland in towards northern ireland, west wales, south west england. temperatures maybe down a touch, the breeze will be picking up, 11 celsius will be the high. friday looks like we could see more sunshine around, again a brisk southeasterly breeze. there's just signs of it starting to turn a bit more unsettled and a bit milder as we head into the weekend.

here's srah mulkerrins. let's start the title race in the english premier league, as it's the turn of arsenal this evening to keep the pressure on leaders liverpool. the gunners are at bramall lane taking on bottom club sheffield united, and a win would see them go two points behind the leaders and just one behind manchester city in second. they are scoring for fun. martin odegaard opened things up just five minutes in. a second came through with an own goal and that was in the 13th minute and then moments later gabriel martinelli got in on the action, making it three, and kai havertz added a fourth. 4—0 to arsenal at sheppard in that it and you can follow that on the bbc sport website and app. staying with football, and the republic of ireland interim bossjohn o'shea has been speaking for the first time this monday. the former manchester united defender played 118 times for the republic and was an assistant coach under previous manager stephen kenny. he's taking charge for the friendlies against belgium and switzerland later this month, but what about the permanent role?
