it leaves donald trump and a tricky situation. 0ther other he could try to sell his properties to essentially raise the money to raise the cash to pay this fine, but that comes with problems in itself because if he is selling these properties with potential buyers knowing that he's in a tricky situation, they're not likely to achieve the kind of market value that he would hope. there's also another possibility that the attorney general in new york had simply tried to liquidate some of donald trump's properties to raise the cash in that way. either option not being preferable, but that is will likely to go on for many months probably be on the next election. thanks very much again, peter bowes

in los angeles. there seems little the world can do for the moment, but simply watch haiti slide further and further into anarchy. gangs control much of the capital, port au prince, where the bodies of at least a dozen people were discovered in a wealthy suburb today, amid fighting with machete wielding militias, trying the protect their own neighbourhoods. america is hopeful a transitional council might be able to restore order, along with the deployment of international troops, but for now the violence continues, as will grant reports from cap—haitien. the grisly aftermath of a gang rampage. following a morning killing spree, in which the home of a judge was also attacked, at least a dozen bodies were left on the streets of a neighbourhood in port—au—prince. and this is supposedly the safe part of town. the latest violence serves as a reminder, if any were needed, that haiti remains closer to anarchy than stability, and that makes it almost impossible for so many here to lead anything that resembles their normal
11:17 pm
lives amid the chaos. just a day old, baby woodley�*s first cries are the same as those of children born anywhere — for food and for comfort. but as they get older, the children born in cap—haitien's maternity wing will find such essentials are farfrom guaranteed in haiti. this woman tells me she would take her newborn boy out of the country altogether if she gets the chance, but she doesn't have the money to flee. as he shows us around dark and empty wards, dr clervil says the gangs' control of the roads is making it impossible to find enough fuel to keep the lights on, let alone to bring in the drugs and equipment they need. translation: as you can see, we have beds and staff, - but often the patients just can't reach us because of their economic situation —
11:18 pm
or, more often than not, their safety. for some, it has had terrible consequences. this woman was eight and half months pregnant when she came into hospital. by then, she had dangerously high blood pressure and lost the baby. pre—eclampsia is treatable had she been properly monitored or the baby been delivered early. she knows her loss was avoidable. the head of unicef has called the situation in haiti "horrific" and likened the lawlessness to the post—apocalyptic film mad max. the security situation aside, the humanitarian need here is critical and the aid response so far has been painfully slow. the essential things of life are increasingly hard to find. in port—au—prince, this woman and her nine children have been forced from their home by the violence and she's struggling to provide the food water they need. "only god can change this place", she says,
11:19 pm
"because from where i'm sitting, i can't see where any other change is coming from." the gangs have such a grip of haiti, they are, in essence, dictating what happens next in this country — who can govern it, who lives in it, and who dies. retrning to the middle east now and a senior us navy officer, at the heart of the joint operation with the uk to protect iranian—backed houthis from yemen, whose attacks on merchant vessels have seriously disrupted international trade. jonathan beale is the first british journalist allowed on board the aircraft carrier, leading the operation. a us carrier — a potent symbol of american military power... ..now being used against houthi rebels. the uss dwight eisenhower operating in the red sea, the uss dwight d eisenhower operating in the red sea, trying to protect merchant ships and themselves from houthi attacks.
11:20 pm
we're the first british media on board since it began this mission, flying scores of sorties round the clock. and it's been relentless. yes. yeah, this is probably the most flying i've done on a deployment. it's the most intense so far? oh, yes, absolutely, absolutely. it's... every day, we're flying a tonne, so... shuttle cat 3 is now a go. daylight tells the story of what they've been doing — the bombs and missiles fired at houthi targets on land and the drones they destroyed from the air. on this one carrier alone, they've already used hundreds of munitions. but the houthis, too, are developing more sophisticated attacks, posing the greatest threat to the us navy in recent history. this is deadly stuff. this is the most since
11:21 pm
world war ii, easily. what, the most intense? 0h, very much so. you know, ballistic missiles, anti—ship cruise missiles, uavs. now usvs, or underwater vessels, uuvs and the game that's all out there. that's all out there, and we've been doing this for almost four months now. houthi attacks on merchant shipping began soon after israel's assault on gaza. us and uk military intervention since has tried to stop them, to protect this key trade route. these us jets have been flying missions to target the houthis every single day for months now, and yet all this us firepower still still hasn't been able to deter them, let alone defeat them. and america believes the houthis are not acting alone. but there are political concerns about widening this conflict. we know iran is in some way backing the houthis. we know iran is in some way backing the houthis, and like i said, they're doing it via intelligence support, providing targeting.
11:22 pm
they're also providing a resupply of weapons and they're providing them expertise as well. well, you're going after the wrong people. you should be going after iran. well, that's a policy decision. but the root of this does start with iran. the question is, how long can the us maintain this military presence? jonathan beale, bbc news, on board the uss dwight d eisenhower. shifting gears now. after much speculation, the elusive street artist banksy has confirmed that this mural, which suddenly appeared (pres)now, after much speculation, the elusive street artist banksy has 0ur reporter ellie prince went to have a look. it's not that impressive close—up, but it all makes sense when you see it with the tree. when banksy comes to town, so does everyone else. so does everyone else — a treat for the locals who just happened to be passing. i think it's amazing, honestly. i've always known
11:23 pm
about banksy�*s artwork. when banksy comes to town so does everyone else. a treat for the locals who just happened to be passing. i think it's amazing, honestly. i've always known about banksy�*s artwork. i didn't actually know there was going to be one so close to home so, yeah, really nice to see. i think it's incredible. we were just out on a little morning walk and just happened to stumble across it and i think it's wonderful. i came inside the house and i started calling - the children, "wake up, - something is going on out there." they'd heard about it watching telly in the hotel. so, we just took the bus, we are leaving two hours, but we just came here to see it. locals told us that the wall got its makeover in the early hours of yesterday morning and here is another thing they noticed. the green of the leaves is the same colour as islington council's signage. experts reckon banksy�*s message
11:24 pm
is an obvious environmental one. this is a particularly big thing because of its scale and because of the clarity of the message and the fact that it it exists in this built environment in a really clever and smart way. the last time banksy was found it lasted less than an hour before somebody took it down — in broad daylight. also in broad daylight, in fact, in front of a packed auction house, there was this iconic painting that shredded itself in its own frame just after it was sold. and don't forget ten years ago we had slave labour and the owners of the building chipped it off and tried to sell it at an auction — not a terribly popular decision locally. the local mp here is pretty confident this one will stay put. already, it's put us on the map. finsbury park has got a banksy. the wall clearly needed repainting anyway, - so banksy'sjust helping out. confirmation this work is the real deal will only attract more visitors, and that 30 foot high with a big tree in front, finsbury park's newest artwork is hopefully not going anywhere soon. ellie price, bbc news, in north london. a new photograph that appears to show the princess of wales has been published just over a week after she admitted editing
11:25 pm
an official portrait of her and her children. the sun newspaper has published the picture and in it appears the princess is smiling and walking alongside prince william. the paper says the photo was taken at a farmer's market in windsor. the princess has not been seen in public since attending a christmas day church service and underwent abdominal surgery injanuary. —— printed the picture. i'll be back again soon right here on bbc news. bye for now. hello. where the sun has put in an appearance over the last couple of days, we have felt some spring warmth. certainly, it has been a mild start to the week, but there is a change on the way. it will turn colder later in the week, and between now and then we have some spells of wind and rain to contend with, the wettest and windiest weather towards the north and the west of the uk. this chart shows the rainfall we are expecting to accumulate through the course of this week.
11:26 pm
you can see the green colours just showing up there in western scotland indicating more than 50 millimetres of rain, and there is a bit of rain to take us through the first part of tuesday along the line of this weather front. notice this front wriggles back out into the atlantic — another pulse of rain to come through tuesday night and into wednesday. but in the short term, the first piece of that weather front, if you like, lingering across parts of southeast england, some clouds, some spots of rain, and then that next pulse of wet weather pushes in across the southwest of england later on. but elsewhere, early cloud will break up to give some spells of sunshine, just the odd rogue shower and feeling very mild, even warm with highs of 17 celsius. but through tuesday night, here comes the rain pushing its way northwards and eastwards. we might hold on to something a little bit drier and clearer towards the south east corner and certainly up towards the northwest of scotland, where it will be cold to start wednesday morning. where it will be cold could even be some fog patches here, but mild further south and east. and for many, quite a soggy starts to wednesday.
11:27 pm
these outbreaks of rain just moving northwards and eastwards as the day wears on. i think the skies will tend to brighten in many places. we will see some spells of sunshine developing, particularly towards the southeast of england, where it will feel very warm indeed at 17 celsius, but also for northern ireland and western scotland. here, though, a somewhat chillier feel to the weather. briefly, a ridge of high pressure will build, but that won't last long. we see this next weather system bringing wet and windy weather, particularly across the north of the uk during thursday. and as that clears for friday and into the weekend, well, the winds change direction and start to come down from the north, and that will make it feel significantly colder. temperatures on the thermometer lower than they have been, could even see some wintry showers over higher ground in the north. but factor in the strength of the wind, the wind chill is going to make it feel really very cold indeed. and those chillier conditions extend all the way south across the uk for the weekend.
