big lawsuit against google last year and the ftc case ongoing against amazon. i don't think. it takes time for the government to build these cases, it takes years and years of research and gathering of evidence, and there also was an anti—trust case against apple that was working its way through the courts up until january from epic games, and the supreme court declined to hear that case in january. supreme court declined to hear that case injanuary. it stuck supreme court declined to hear that case in january. it stuck with the lower court ruling that essentially favoured apple, with some changes needing to be made for it in app purchases in the app store, but i think also there was this anti—trust case moving through the system meaning that it gave the government a lot of time to sort of observe that case and use that to conduct its own, but also if that case was going to end up in the supreme court, that they have done the work for them. ., ., ., ~ ,, , for them. vittoria, thank you very much indeed _ for them. vittoria, thank you very much indeed for _ for them. vittoria, thank you very much indeed forjoining _ for them. vittoria, thank you very much indeed forjoining us. - so let's take a look at some of the front pages.

breaking news from around the world, 24 breaking news from around the world, 2a hours a day. this is bbc news. thank you so much for that update. to haiti now. the head of the united nations children's agency, unicef, says it is unable to get enough aid into the country and that "many, many people" are suffering serious hunger and malnutrition. our correspondent will grant is one of the only international journalists on the ground.

to describe some of the living conditions in port—au—prince as precarious is an understatement. but sarah mullins, a particularly tough the 20—year—old student and her family had to flee their home because of gang violence and now live in a temporary camp inside an abandoned theatre. and on some days, she says, they don't eat at all. "i go to school with no food, spend the day hungry, and then go to bed with still nothing in my stomach", she says. now she sees no choice but to abandon her studies. but daily struggle to find enough food in haiti is nothing new. the difference now is the scale of the emergency and food insecurity. potentially millions of people are in danger of falling into malnutrition and already don't know when or where their next meal is coming from. there are some success stories. jesslynjoseph was dangerously malnourished a few weeks ago, but a local ngo, second mile, was able to hospitalise him and he's thankfully putting on weight. over the years, their residential malnutrition centre has pulled hundreds of children back from the brink. mothers typically spend four weeks at the centre receiving urgent care

for their malnourished children and instruction on providing high nutrition on a limited budget. the ngo says it's had huge success with just 1% of children being readmitted after they leave. with aid still barely making it into haiti, this work is crucial, but the ngo fears mistakes of the 2010 earthquake disaster response could be repeated in this crisis. a lot of these larger ngos fly in and fly out and they're handed all of these supplies and all of these aid. and suddenly all of these funds to now hire all these people, and suddenly all of these funds to now hire all these people. you're actually hiring from all of these local ngos when you could just help, you know, pay their staff members and help and give them the aid to distribute. tilling the land in haiti is dry, thankless work. climate change has meant crops

of maize and beans often yield poor harvests or fail altogether. as haiti unravels, it's clear malnutrition is no longer a temporary or passing crisis here, and aid alone won't solve it. rather, it's becoming the norm — another part of the country's dire new reality. will grant, bbc news, haiti. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

you're life from bbc news. a generation of women born in the uk are owed apologies and thousands of pounds in compensation — that's the finding of an independent investigation into pension changes. the campaign group, women against state pension inequality — or waspi — say many have suffered financially because of those changes. i got igota i got a letterfrom

i got a letter from the i got a letterfrom the department for work and pensions in march 2012 telling me that i would receive my state pension in march 2020. almost six years later than expected. in order to find out that something has changed, you have to have some idea of what you're looking for. they could have given me 15, 16 years�* notice to my pension age, but they chose not to, and i don�*t know why they made that choice. there�*s more women dying every 13 minutes, and that�*s why we�*ve always asked for fair and fast compensation. the government doesn�*t have to act on the findings and so far has not committed to paying compensation. here�*s the reaction from the home secretary james cleverly and shadow home secretary yvette cooper. that report has just that report hasjust come out. obviously. _ that report hasjust come out. obviously, the government will look at the _ obviously, the government will look at the findings and recommendations of that_ at the findings and recommendations of that report. i'm not in a position— of that report. i'm not in a position where i can comment on the

and they are now much more cautious, cautious, and so too are the conservatives. and here is the context, a catalogue of failures, think the post office scandal, the infected blood scandal and now, this. that is the context which means that campaigners have to show real stamina if — and it�*s a big if — they are ever to be compensated. ajapanese baseball sensation who plays for the major league in america has been caught up in a scandal, with his representatives alleging he�*d been the victim of a �*massive theft�* at the hands of his english interpreter. shohie ohtani�*s team said the interpreter, ippei mizuhara, had been fired by the los angeles dodgers after a theft reportedly involving millions of dollars. it�*s alleged mr mizuhara stole money from the player to place bets with an illegal bookmaker. adam yamaguchi from our partner station cbs has this report.

isa is a long—time interpreter and friend always right by his side and the dugout, but now no longer. he was fired after that game after the la times reported his attorneys accused him of method theft. —— massive theft. at in an interview with the outlet on tuesday, . .. on wednesday, he has been reported of spokesmen who made mizuhara mizu ha ra available had mizuhara available had not transferred money to the associate. ohtani had no knowledge about this. according to his own sources, even they had no idea about this until they had no idea about this until the la times contacted him. i didn't

think it was — the la times contacted him. i didn't think it was going _ the la times contacted him. i didn't think it was going to _ the la times contacted him. i didn't think it was going to be _ the la times contacted him. i didn't think it was going to be this - the la times contacted him. i didn't think it was going to be this good. l think it was going to be this good. mizuhara — think it was going to be this good. mizuhara has known ohtani for more than a decade. and has been his personal translator since ohtani first came to the mlb in 2017. first of all, i first came to the mlb in 2017. first of all. i would _ first came to the mlb in 2017. first of all, i would like _ first came to the mlb in 2017. first of all, i would like to _ first came to the mlb in 2017. first of all, i would like to thank the los angeles— of all, i would like to thank the los angeles dodgers... - they were almost inseparable from the moment that ohtani entered major league baseball. he was more than just interpreter. he would go out and buy groceries for ohtani when he was on the injured list. they would drive together to the ballpark. the idea that such a close confidant of the biggest player in baseball could allegedly betray him in that manner involving his money, this is what�*s

shocking. turning to botswana now, the country�*s president has criticised a proposed bill in the uk to ban the imports from the trophy hunting of endangered species. the british government says the ban will play an important role in protecting threatened wildlife. but the government of botswana says hunting is necessary as it has too many elephants. they also say the industry is an important source of income, and createsjobs for local communities. the president of botswana, mokgweetsi masisi, gave us his view mokgweetsi masisi, gave us his view on the proposed ban. i think it is a really sad tragedy that the british leadership would bring this upon us without even so much as a courteous call to us, nor even attempt to understand what our

circumstances are. it�*s also hypocritical in our view, deeply so, that you allow your species to be hunted and trophies to be exported from the united kingdom. and not the same for us to do. speaking of endangered species... let�*s turn to some happy news out of greece now, where an endangered pygmy hippo has been born at athens�* zoo. here�*s the newborn enjoying bath time with its carers. pygmy hippos are native to swamps and rainforests in western africa, but are listed as an endangered species and it is estimated that fewer than 2,500 are living in the wild. here�*s the vet at athen�*s zoo, on how important this birth is for the conservation of the species. we're absolutely thrilled, not only because it's very endangered species but also because it's a boy. every captive birth of pygmy

hippos is important. and we're very happy to see this baby grow into a healthy adult hippo, and hopefully one day reproduce and produce more pygmy hippos. the newborn�*s parents, lizzie and jamal, and are the only other pygmy hippos at athens zoo, and it�*s not yet been decided what their son will be called. the calf weighed in at 7 kilograms — that�*s just a little over 15 pounds — and staff at the zoo are happy with his progress so far. i think it's been one of the most exciting parts of myjob because pygmy hippos are quite shy animals. there's not a lot of information about their births in the wild. so, to be able to be part of this journey and to see the trust between the keepers in the animal and to be allowed to perform between the keepers and the animal and to be allowed to perform

ultrasounds on her voluntarily is a huge deal for us. it's very, very important for us to be able to have this trust with the animals. hgppy happy news to end this edition of newsday. thank you so much watching, stay with bbc news. hello there. it�*s going to be ten and colder right across the uk as we head it�*s going to be turning colder right across the uk as we head through the rest of the week. sunny spells and showers through the day on thursday. lots of rainbow spotted by our weather watchers towards the north. that theme at least is set to continue, so more blustery showers, a brisk northwesterly wind and just some chillier feeling air with a possibility of some nighttime frosts in the more rural sheltered spots. why? well, because this cold front will be sinking southwards and eastwards as we head through the day on friday, introducing that colder feeling air.

already a chilly start to the day from north wales, across northern england, scotland and northern ireland — some showers blowing in here. a cold front pushes more clouds towards the far southeast of england and some outbreaks of rain. and the hang—back of that rain is still across parts of kent sussex is still across parts of kent, sussex into perhaps eastern areas of hampshire. as we head through the afternoon on friday, it will eventually clear. temperatures now round about the seasonal average, a few showers, particularly out towards the west, most frequent across northern and western scotland, a brisk westerly wind blowing, and some of those showers are likely to be wintry over the high ground. gales across the northern isles and the far northwest of scotland. now, low pressure continues to push eastwards just to the north of scotland as we head through friday and into saturday. saturday, a particularly cold start to the day. temperatures for many will drop back to low single figures, and in the shelter of that brisk westerly—to—north—westerly wind, we�*re likely to see a touch

of frost, though gardeners beware. also some icy stretches out there as well. saturday, a day of sunshine and showers again, the showers most frequent in the north and the west. some of the showers could be wintry over the tops of the hills just about anywhere across the uk. there will be some sunny spells in between, but a lot of added wind chill. these temperatures are below the seasonal average. it will actually feel colder than that because of the strength of the wind, too. but there will be some sunshine here and there as well, and it does look like it�*s going to turn a bit sunny up through the day on sunday. brief ridge of high pressure should keep us largely dry, but clouding over towards the west by the end of the day. low pressure always close by as we head through into the start of next week, so it�*s going to be feeling colder. we�*ll see the drop in temperature and it will be quite showery. some longer spells of rain at times too as we head through next week, so unsettled and feeling cooler. bye— bye.

this is bbc news. we�*ll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, as newsday continues straight after hardtalk. welcome to hardtalk. i�*m stephen sackur. trust underpins the unwritten contract between the citizen and the state in a democratic society. the citizen trusts the state to ensure that the enormous powers vested in key institutions like the police and the courts are exercised fairly and responsibly.

well, that�*s the theory. in practice, things go wrong. 50 years ago, six men were wrongly convicted and imprisoned for terrible ira bombings in birmingham. my guest writer and former politician, chris mullin, was instrumental in exposing this grave injustice. much trust was lost then. has it been restored? chris mullin, welcome to hardtalk. thank you for having me. it�*s great to have you in the studio. this year marks the 50th anniversary of those terrible bombings

in birmingham in the english midlands.
