package for ukraine, the first american tranche of support for kyiv in months. migrants to go to rwanda, the story under the return scheme that is currently in place, the migrants can currently in place, the migrants can currently receive financial assistance of the £3000 to return to their country of origin but the new rwanda deal is being proposed to be the first of its kind because of marks the first time that migrants will be paid to leave the uk without going back to their country of origin and that is the distinction. and already, quite a bit of money being paid to the rwanda government

to receive migrants who will be flown at of the country as a deterrent and this is very different way to eat into the numbers that are still waiting to be processed and we will get to that a little later. let us focus because the head of the cia, william the head of the cia william burns told the senate intel committee last night that more losses are likely in ukraine unless congress can pass joe biden�*s ukraine aid package, which has been opposed by republicans. it is our assessment that with supplemental assistance, ukraine can hold its own on the front lines through 2024 and into 2025 and down another road without supplemental assistance, it seems to me that there's a much grimmer future. ukraine is likely to lose ground and probably significant ground in 2024. there is a bi partisan majority in the house that would vote for the 60bn dollars in military aid which the senate approved six weeks ago.

but house speaker mikejohnson is standing in the way. this afternoon the senate minority leader mitch mcconnel again appealed for the speaker to put it to a vote. he told reporters at his weekly press briefing: the speaker is getting some flak from his own side. republican brian fitzpatrick from pennsylvania, a former fbi agent who was was stationed in kyiv before he came to congress, is pushing a discharge petition among colleagues. if 218 members were to sign on, most democrats and a handful of republicans, then it would bypass the rules committee and come to the floor within a few weeks. and while that large aid package remains stalled in congress, the white house announced a new tranche of support

which should keep ukrainians guns firing for a short period. $300 million with the weapons and equipment to address some of ukraine's pressing needs. this is possible because unanticipated cost savings in contrast, the new negotiations to replace equipment erasing ukraine to previous deals. how long is going to take to get this to the floor? it is how long is going to take to get this to the floor?— this to the floor? it is unclear. seaker this to the floor? it is unclear. speaker of _ this to the floor? it is unclear. speaker of the _ this to the floor? it is unclear. speaker of the house - this to the floor? it is unclear. speaker of the house is - this to the floor? it is unclear. i speaker of the house is basically doing what president trump wants them to do which is the wing of the republican party that is isolationist and have already shown that we've done, the other thing is balancing ukraine and israel in two different political factions on both sides and interfering in the situations and getting more controversial than would be in a normal year. if

were moved on after the council obtained an injunction following a glut of complaints with the cost of living crisis showing little sign of easing. it's unlikely bristol's van dwellers will be hitting the road any time soon. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. the prime minister of haiti, ariel henry says he will step down as prime minister, and hand power to a transitional council. mr henry was unable to return to the country because the gangs that control much of the capital port au prince have also beseiged the airport. the us secretary of state antony blinken who was injamaica for regional meetings yesterday says he expects members of the transitional council to be appointed within the next 24 to 48 hours. theirjob will be to appoint an interim prime minister. mr blinken gave a further 100m dollars to a fund that would pay for kenyan riot police

hello from the bbc sport centre, we're into the closing stages of the night's champions league ties — with tense times at the emirates. arsenal looking to make the quarter finals for the first time in 14 years. it's currently 1—0 against porto, in the second leg of their last 16 tie. arsenal were a goal down from the first leg... but calmed the nerves somewhat by taking the lead in the first half — leandro trossard finishing off a neat move — to pull the gunners level on aggregate... a neat move — to pull the gunners level on aggregate. arsenal also had a goal disallowed in the second half. as they pushed for the winner, into injury time. not long left in barcelona's second leg with napoli. it began one all, before fermin lopez and joao cancelo gave barca a two nil lead on the night. napoli struck back through amir rrahmani but robert lewandowski then made it 3—1 barcelona. they're 4—2 up on aggegate

with a few minutes left meanwhile, spanish club celta vigo have sacked their head coach rafa benitez. the former liverpool boss was appointed lastjune, but has only won five games in la liga this season. their 4—0 defeat at one of his other former clubs, real madrid, on sunday, left them only two points outside of the relegation places. at indian wells — carlos alcaraz is into the quarter finals of the tournament. after a straight—forward win against the unseeded fabian marozsan, the spaniard won 6—3, 6—3. and barely looked troubled throughout the tie his hungarian opponent. alcaraz, who's the defending champion, avenging that shock defeat then to maroszan, in rome on the clay last year. the cheltenham festival — the pinnacle event injumps racing got underway today — and �*state man' took full advantage of last year's winner — constitution hill — being absent in the champion hurdle. the willie mullins—trained seven—year—old, ridden by irish jockey paul townend, turned on the power over the final few fences to finish ahead of irish point and luccia. mullins closing in on 100 festival winners this year.

a blow for england ahead of the six nations finale this weekend. after playing a big part in their dramatic win over favourites ireland on saturday, immanuel feyi—waboso has been ruled out of their game with france due to concussion. the 21—year—old winger was superb in the victory, which saw england score a late drop goal to win it, he reported concussion symptoms to the team on monday. attack coach richard wigglesworth confirmed feyi—waboso will be unavailable for the trip to lyon — saying he did the right thing. england veteran fast bowler james anderson says he has no plans to retire in the immediate future. the 41 year old says he feels like he's in the best shape he's ever been, but admits he'll have to work hard to make the england squad for the summer season. anderson became the first pace bowler to reach 700 test wickets during england's ill—fated series in india earlier this month. he's been speaking on the bbc podcast tailenders.

i feel like ifeel like i'm i feel like i'm definitely ifeel like i'm definitely the best shape they've ever been, is weird. i just feel like i've got the fitness side of it, sort of, and a good place of the minute. recovery is good and the fact that i can come back at five o'clock and still bull of the minute. recovery is good and the fact that i can come back at five o'clock still bullet the same speed, that is something that i think is very important and helps confidence in terms of skills, the last months and probably not delivered as much as i would want in terms of wickets but this, for the like i was doing really well ijust didn't quite get the wickets. i think i like this from adam where my game is at and enjoyment of trying to get better in the net and stuff like that. scottie scheffler says it was strange to seejon rahm

choose to leave the pga tour for liv golf. the men's world number one was speaking ahead of defending his title at the players championship — which starts on thursday. scheffler said he'll miss competing against him, but that the pga tour must move on. john is someone that i love competing against and is we talked about after the ryder cup. we had some good battles over the years and there's definitely strange for me to see him leave and is a bit surprised at how competitive he is and he made his decision and we have seenjohn the bit less and a lot of great guys and love competing against and s. barcelona have gone against napoli and their into the quarterfinals but is still 1—0 with arsenal and that is still 1—0 with arsenal and that is looking for extra time and potentially penalties no dissolve the sports for now. we will see you

soon. hello there, good evening. it's been another really quite wet day for many of us, particularly across england and wales. in fact, parts of south—east england have already seen their average march rainfall. we're not yet halfway through the month. a lot of saturated ground out there. and although the air is milder as we head through the rest of the week, there will be further spells of rain at times, especially in the north and the west. and if we just take a look at the rainfall accumulation chart for the rest of the week, most spots are in for another 20 to 30 millimetres, but parts of north—west england and north—west wales could see as much as 70 to 80 millimetres of rainfall, so it willjust add to the risk of localised flooding, and there are already plenty of flood warnings in place. that's also partly due to the spring tides yesterday and today. this was the situation earlier on,

then, so this low pressure out towards the north—west of scotland just pushing these weather fronts further eastwards. but the rain has now cleared across parts of east anglia and kent. there will be another set of weather fronts just pushing down from north—west scotland, through into north—west england and western wales, so turning really quite wet here. but ahead of the front, some very mild—feeling conditions, a lot of mist and nurk, but temperatures here may not drop out of double figures. it will be a mild start to the day across the board. and then on wednesday, our weather front is stalled across wales and into north—west england. to the north of the front, some sunshine, but some showers move in across north—west scotland later. gales across the north of scotland, with the low pressure centred here. further towards the south and the east, ahead of the front, there will be a lot of cloud. but given any brighter spells, temperatures could rise here in the milder—feeling air to 15, 16 degrees. now, as we head through wednesday night and into thursday, our weather fronts start to retreat further northwards again, bringing some further spells
