today at 6: for the first time the un security council agrees to call for an immediate ceasefire in gaza. as israeli strikes continue, and with over 32,000 palestinians dead, the us shifts its position and does not block the resolution. this time the united states did not use its un veto, allowing the resolution to go through and further signalling its frustration with the way malawi is prosecuting the war in gaza. —— the way that israel is prosecuting the war in gaza. two men are found guilty of murdering cody fisher, stabbed to death on a dance floor over a petty incident in 2022. could the price of gas and electricity you use vary depending on the time of day?

this is all about election interference. this is all biden—run... and donald trump on his criminal trial — a date is set for april 15, on charges relating to alleged hush money paid to a porn star. and coming up on bbc news — the pressure is on, but the wales players are relaxed ahead of tomorrow's playoff final against poland. they need to win in cardiff to get to this summer's euros. good evening. the 15 countries which make up the un security council have for the first time adopted a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in gaza and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. the us abstained from the vote, rather than blocking the measure — a change in position from israel's main ally. let's go straight to the un in new york and our correspondentjohn sudworth.

well, reeta, after all of the geopolitical brinkmanship the squabbling over semantics and there is no doubt that for many observers this is a highly symbolic moment. it also, i think for many people, symbolises a major shift that is taking place. president biden under pressure from his democratic base and also under increasing diplomatic pressure over the stance taken so far has decided to signal very publicly in this move his growing frustration with israel, and it has been met, some would say predictably, with anger from the israeli government, not only in its words in response to today's resolution but in the cancellation of a visit by a high level delegation due here in washington in the next few days. after months of diplomatic wrangling and numerous failed attempts, the resolution calling for an immediate

there was a note of confusion injected after the vote when the us ambassador to the security council said it was not binding, some talk about the precise wording, but normally security council resolutions are considered binding. so what does that mean? it means that if israel does not follow it then either the un might want to take... the security council might want to pass another resolution or perhaps the united states might use one of the other large leavers it can pull. it really has basically two big ways of influencing israel. 0ne two big ways of influencing israel. one of them was removing diplomatic protection at the security council, which is what has just happened. the other one is stopping the supply of arms. there have been dozens of flights arriving in israel to sustain the military operation. it might decide to stop that. this is a long alliance, though, between the israelis and the americans, and at times it is dysfunctional but i would say this current crisis, this

rift, this loss of patients by the americans in what the israelis are doing is as serious as any of those crises in the history of that long relationship. crises in the history of that long relationship-— crises in the history of that long relationshi -., , �* ., ,., relationship. jeremy bowen reporting there, relationship. jeremy bowen reporting there. thank— relationship. jeremy bowen reporting there, thank you. _ two men have been found guilty of the murder of the footballer cody fisher, who was stabbed in a nightclub in birmingham on boxing day in 2022. the 23—year—old was targeted after he brushed past one of the men in a bar two days earlier. remy gordon and kami carpenter had blamed each other for the stabbing. cody fisher's mother said the men are "pure evil." 0ur midlands correspondent phil mackie was in court. commentator: right, we are ready to get back under way. _ cody fisher was a talented footballer who had spent time in the youth and academy set—up at birmingham city and walsall before settling into a career as a semi—pro for a number of midlands�* sides. his friends and family said he lived life to the full.

he was killed in the crane nightclub over a trivial incident two days earlier. we all kind of lived and did our best for cody, and now he is no longer here. it's hard to come to terms with what to do. his fate had been sealed when he brushed past remy gordon in a bar on christmas eve. you can just about see gordon's angry reaction just afterwards. cody thought nothing of it, but gordon spent the next two days messaging people to try to track him down. 0n boxing day, cody, his best friend dan and his girlfriend jess all went to the crane club. suddenly, gordon, carpenter and their friends attacked cody. so i was trying to wake him up.

and i thought, "right, i need to put him in the recovery position so he doesn't choke." that was when i put my hand down and felt the knife. jess was screaming and crying her eyes out, so i grabbed her to comfort her, and that's when she shouted, "why have they got knives in here?" that's when i realised he had been stabbed. when gordon and kami carpenter arrived in the crane nightclub earlier, security checks had been cursory at best. they'd smuggled in a large knife with a serrated blade. the crane lost its licence straight away. this is no longer a club, but what happened that night has raised questions. should they look again at introducing tougher rules for nightclubs? shouting this was gordon being arrested. in court, he blamed carpenter, and carpenter blamed him. today they were convicted of murder. a third defendant, reegan anderson, was found guilty of affray. the evilness and the cowardliness of those individuals that did that to him for nothing.

who even does that? who? so you can bump into somebody in a pub or a club or whatever, you know, accidentally, and that is the repercussion, to be that evil? cody fisher, a life lost over something so trivial. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. the government is setting out measures to combat the cyber threat posed by china. the deputy prime minister has told the commons that people "affiliated to the chinese state" were responsible for a cyber attack on parliamentary email accounts, and another attack in 2021 which targeted the electoral register and gained access to the personal details of millions of voters. beijing denies the attacks and has accused the government of malicious slanders. 0ur political editor chris mason reports. who is watching? who's listening?

secretary, david cameron, was swinging a pint with the chinese president in 0xfordshire. there is much more scepticism now but there was one key question i wanted to ask you when i spoke to this former secret service official. i wonder how worried we should be as individuals, may be scared even, about china? the individuals, may be scared even, about china?— about china? the overwhelming ma'ori about china? the overwhelming majority of _ about china? the overwhelming majority of the _ about china? the overwhelming majority of the british _ about china? the overwhelming majority of the british people i majority of the british people probably have nothing to be worried about _ probably have nothing to be worried about but _ probably have nothing to be worried about but if you are engaged in politics— about but if you are engaged in politics or— about but if you are engaged in politics or in areas such as human rights _ politics or in areas such as human rights promotion, then you can sately— rights promotion, then you can safely assume that china is going to want to— safely assume that china is going to want to be _ safely assume that china is going to want to be on your case. cybercrime in the shadows, _ want to be on your case. cybercrime in the shadows, the _ want to be on your case. cybercrime in the shadows, the world's newest | in the shadows, the world's newest superpower. dealing with china is one of the challenges of our age. and earlier this afternoon former conservative scott benton resigned as the mp for blackpool south, triggering a by—election in the seat he won in 2019. let'sjoin

let's join chris mason again. chris, what more can you tell us? from beijing to blackpool, it has all been happening this afternoon. what has happened with mr benton, he had appointment with some reporters from the times but he didn't realise they were from the times because they were from the times because they said they were from a gambling company which was fictitious, they were offering to pay him, he suggested he could ask parliamentary questions and even leaked confidential papers and nothing happened beyond that point other than the video from the times was published and he found himself on a one—way ticket out of the parliamentary conservative party. since then there have been various reports into what went on and his constituents in lancashire were deciding whether or not to trigger a by—election under what is known as a recall petition. that has all been fast forwarded because mr benton has packedit fast forwarded because mr benton has packed it in. why does that matter? it means there could be a by—election as soon as the same day as the local elections, the police

and crime commissioner elections, the many oral elections, at the beginning of may. that matters from a conservative point of view because by—elections recently have been a beacon of the bleak. if the by—election happens on the same day as the local elections, which looks likely, it will all get washed up in that same series of polls, and from the perspective of the conservative thatis the perspective of the conservative that is better than the alternative. thank you very much. chris mason reporting from westminster. a review of the fatal stabbing of three people in nottingham last summer has found that prosecutors were right to accept the killer's manslaughter pleas, but said the case could have been better handled. ian coates, barnaby webber and grace 0'malley—kumar were killed by valdo calocane in june last year. he received a hospital order after admitting manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. a russian court has remanded in custody three more suspects in connection to friday's deadly attack on a moscow concert venue — killing at least 137 people. four men have been charged and prosecutors say three them have pleaded guilty to terrorism offences. the islamic state group has claimed responsibility for the attack,

but the kremlin has blamed ukraine — an accusation kyiv describes as "absurd." steve rosenberg has this report from moscow. in court, the men russia says committed mass murder. four suspects. battered. blooded. and in one case, barely conscious. all four were charged with terrorism. just days after this. islamic state says it was behind the attack on the crocus city concert hall. america's confirmed that, but russia hasn't. instead, the authorities here have been sending a very different message, that in some way, somehow,

ukraine is to blame. so this paper says it believes that ukraine carried out the attack, without providing any evidence for that. it writes, "there are some basic truths, fire burns, the wind blows and the key of regime are murderers and terrorists", and in this paper, a russian mp says, "russia needs to take kyiv and crush the terrorist beast", which raises the question will russia try to use the devastating attack on the concert hall to try to justify a future escalation on its war on ukraine? concerned too, that moscow may use this moment to increase repression at home. that's what happens with the kgb state. the kbb state uses any opportunity, when there is some crisis or a threat, to make sure that it hammers all the nails into the coffin of freedom. so in other words a further crackdown coming? i actually would even bet on that. and as russians reflect on the horror that unfolded here, what is the mood in moscow?

there is no sense of panic, but people are worried. "things don't feel right," alexandra says. "i don't feel safe." ifelt fear, going outside, and i had to go to the store, and when i left my home, ijust thought that i should hurry and come back to my flat, because it is the only place where i can be safe. and that is what the gunmen wanted. notjust to kill, but to leave a nation in fear. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. the time is 18.17. our top story this evening. for the first time, the un security council agrees to call for an immediate ceasefire in gaza. and what happened next to the man in the 0rkney islands who ended up with way too many easter eggs.

coming up on bbc news — a bbc study found more than a third of elite female athletes who responded have considered giving up sport because of the cost—of—living crisis, with some saying they earn less than the minimum wage. while russia blames ukraine for the attack on moscow, ukraine's capital, kyiv, has come under renewed russian attack. the air force said it shot down two ballistic missiles, but that falling debris injured at least five people. a new bbc documentary brings home the stark reality of the bitter fighting taking place on the front line. it follows a single ukrainian infantry batallion whose troops, led by commander vovan, wore body cameras, capturing in detail their efforts to defend a railway line in the kupyansk forest in the east of the country. if the russians were to seize the line, they could use it to launch an attack on the major

city of kharkiv. you may find some of this report distressing:

the ukrainian medic, natalia, ending that report. that's a unique insight into what is happening in ukraine, and you can watch the full documentary, ukraine:

enemy in the woods, tonight at nine o'clock, on bbc two. donald trump is set to become the first former us president to go on criminal trial. a judge has set april 15th for hearing the case in which he's alleged to have paid "hush" money to a porn star, stormy daniels, over a sexual relationship. mr trump denies it ever took place, and has pleaded not guilty to 3a counts of falisfying business records to hide the payment, made before the 2016 us election. we're going through this weaponisation of our government to try and knock out somebody�*s political opponent, and so far, based on the polls, it's not working at all, the people understand it. we have a man who just ruled he'd like the trial to start in 21 days or something, and i don't know how you can have a trial that's going on right in the middle of an election. not fair, not fair. and our north america editor sarah smith is in new york and can tell us more. sarah. yes, mr throuple be back here

trump said he had enough cash to cover that, so he has avoided what could have been an embarrassing seizure there today.— could have been an embarrassing seizure there today. sarah smith, thank boeing's chief executive is to step down by the end of this year. dave calhoun has been under pressure ever since a door on a boeing 737 max plane blew off shortly after take off. our business correspondent theo leggett reports. a terrifying moment for passengers, as a door flew off a brand—new alaska airlines boeing 737 max in january. the incident plunged boeing into a crisis, raising questions about its attitude to safety. now the boss, dave calhoun, says he's stepping down. he was appointed at a desperate time for the company. bad design and corporate failures had been blamed for two tragic accidents involved in the 737 max, in ethiopia and indonesia, in which 346 people died. mr calhoun promised change, but critic says that hasn't happened.

he had opportunities to make changes as a member of the board. certainly in a ceo position it has been one failure after the other so i can't say there's been really any successes under mr calhoun. humanitarian worker sam pegram died when the ethiopian plane crashed. not only does poor safety kill people, but it is pretty damming for the share price and the careers of ceos as well, so let's get somebody who can put focus on where it matters and make planes safer for everybody. in a letter to workers, mr calhoun said... "the alaska airlines accident was a watershed moment for boeing. we must continue to respond to this accident with humility and complete transparency. " his successor will need both qualities if they are to pilot the aerospace giant back in to less turbulent skies. theo leggett, bbc news. the cost of the gas and electricity we use at home could be determined

by what time of day we use the most energy, that's according to the watchdog 0fgem. it says it's in early discussions about changing the way we're billed for energy, which could see lower rates offered to more flexible users in england, scotland and wales. 0ur cost of living correspondent, colletta smith, has more. this is a moment of course that the regulator is trying to work out how the way we use electricity has changed over the last couple of years, five years indeed since it has been introduced. that price cap is due to fall on 1st april. 29 million household also be affected. the way we use energy has changed during that time so the regulator are working out whether the price cap needs to change to reflect that. the first suggestion is to have that flexible cap that you were talking about, maybe to make better use of some of the solar panels you can see, and so many houses have retrofitted solar panels and the battery packs on to older building too. the second suggestion is to have a fairer cap, a social tariff, so a much lower level for people on

lower incomes, or those with disability, a third option is to have a linked cap so when there are lower options in the market to lower offers in the market, the default tariff would matt hancockically fall too, but of course this is a regulator, we can't expect any changes to happen quickly and analysts are predicting both gas and electricity prices will stay in or round that current level for the the rest of year. now — pun alert — the egg—stravagant mistake that led to a small grocery store owner in 0rkney ordering far too many chocolate easter eggs has turned sunny—side up. when dan ap dafydd accidentally ordered hundreds more eggs than the actual population of the tiny island of sanday, he decided to use his error to raise money for charity. he gained widespread media attention, and is now having to order egg—stra supplies to cope with demand. we've had people from all over the world buying eggs, wanting to donate them

to food banks. we have had people wanting to have eggs posted to them in mainland scotland, england, and further afield as well, and yeah, in the space of four days, 720 eggs has turned into 100 that are left with competition. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. thank you. someone ordered too much rain, certainly we had grey leaden skies and outbreaks of rain, that is how it looked off the coast of devon, we had this slow moving band of rain across the south—west, wales as well, also this lump 06 wet weather moving northwards, bumping into cold air, so that is giving some snow on high ground, although the heaviest rain will be sliding out into the north sea so the snow fall should ease. wet weatherfor a few of us, clear spells as well. mild in the south at six or seven but a gold and frosty night for the northern half of scotland, forward

tomorrow, low pressure dominates
