5:32 pm
about the plan to reimburse michael cohen by disguising it as legal retainer. he said donald trump asked him if he needed any more money at that meeting. but michael cohen says he continued to lie for the president in order to protect him, that everything he did was for the benefit of his campaign earlier, but that there was a point when he started to reconsider his loyalty. he outlined when that was. michael cohen pleaded guilty to federal campaignfinance cohen pleaded guilty to federal campaign finance violations in 2018 after federal investigators started looking into the stormy daniels payment. michael cohen said that after a raid on his home, he was angry, despondent and got a call from donald trump telling him to stay strong, that he would be fine because donald trump is the president of the united states. although michael cohen said he did feel reassured by that call, as pressured continued to build, he

discussed with his family what to do and ultimately, his wife and kids asked him why he was still being loyal to donald trump. michael cohen said it was his point that he decided to no longer live for his former boss. composed on the stand, continuing to give evidence that is incredibly helpful to the prosecution's case. of course, we are all waiting for when you will undergo cross—examination. find are all waiting for when you will undergo cross-examination. and we know, undergo cross-examination. and we know. nada. — undergo cross-examination. and we know. nada. it— undergo cross-examination. and we know, nada, it will— undergo cross-examination. and we know, nada, it will be _ undergo cross-examination. and we know, nada, it will be brutal- undergo cross-examination. and we know, nada, it will be brutalwhen l know, nada, it will be brutal when it comes. we know it's going to concentrate and focus on the fact that he has lied many times before. given all that, what is the prosecution, what is michael cohen doing in terms of addressing that? well, matthew, they asked him about lying to congress about trump tower projects in russia. michael cohen
5:34 pm
said he lied to protect donald trump, that he was trying to stay on message, that there was no russia comes to he was then asked about lying to members of the press —— no russia conspiracy. when they asked him about the stormy daniels payment. he said he put out a misleading statement to try to protect donald trump. what we're seeing prosecutors do is try to lay out that this was somebody who was extremely loyal to the president and that's why he lied, so that when he is on the stand, it'll perhaps take away some of the power of the defence's questioning when they try to paint him as somebody who cannot be trusted and just has a vengeance against donald trump. mada against donald trump. nada tawfik, in new york. — against donald trump. nada tawfik, in new york, thanks _ against donald trump. nada tawfik, in new york, thanks very _ against donald trump. nada tawfik, in new york, thanks very much. - against donald trump. nada tawfik, in new york, thanks very much. the j in new york, thanks very much. the all of man could take a step closer to becoming the first part of the british isles to legalise assisted

5:46 pm
future of their country as part of the european union. that's why they're standing here. we see the police have pushed the police here. this 1950s building that has been housing the georgian legislature for all these years. a short while ago as i parliament after a very tense debate and verbal and physical altercations between the pro—and opposition mps, mps from the georgian dream voted on this final reading. dubbed by protesters as the russian law. big crowd just being
5:47 pm
addressed there. head to the website, because a lot of background information there. the latest analysis in terms of what we're seeing. let's turn to a potential medical breakthrough. a new study found that anti—obesity injections could reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes or heart failure in obese people, regardless of the amount of weight they lose. researchers have spent five years studying more than 17 thousand people in more than a0 countries and say it could be a gamechanger similar to the introduction of statins in the 1990s. with more here's our correspondent chi chi izundu. obesity is considered a growing health problem in the uk, because alongside it can come other health complications. and one treatment — a weight—loss drug offered on the nhs only from last year — could help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
5:48 pm
a new study — in part paid for by the company which makes one of the drugs, ozempic — is suggesting that the medication could cut the risk of heart attacks and stroke. scientists followed more than 17,500 people from 41 countries with an average age of 62. that the medication could cut the risk of heart attacks and stroke. scientists followed more than 17,500 people from 41 countries with an average age of 62. all were either overweight or obese, didn't have type two diabetes, but did have a history of cardiovascular problems. half were given a dose of the drug, the other half a placebo. the report suggests that anti—obesity medications such as ozempic and wegovy appear to cut the risk of heart attacks and strokes, regardless of how much weight people lose. whilst the study still has to be fully reviewed, experts are describing its findings as a game—changer, and could potentially change clinical practice like other drugs taken to help cardiovascular conditions. i think it's a really important discovery, and it's an important change because it's the sort of thing we got with statins. when we — in the �*90s, when statins came in, we finally figured out that there was a drug class
5:49 pm
that would change the biology of this disease to benefit a lot of people. ozempic was originally used to help type two diabetes sufferers, but demand for it has seen shortages in recent months, leaving patients struggling to get their prescriptions. why these drugs are potentially helping fight things like heart disease is not yet fully known. scientists think it could be related to inflammation. and there are other chronic diseases they also think this drug could help. chi chi izundu, bbc news. michelle 0'neill has apologised for attending the funeral of... whilst coronavirus guidelines were in place. she has been given evidence, have a listen. . she has been given evidence, have a

5:51 pm
people who could be at funerals and at public gatherings, but for bobby story�*s funeral, many lied the street. there was a lot of criticism aimed at senior members of sinn fein accused of breaking coronavirus guidelines, something that sinn fein said they didn't do. they said they always acted within the guidelines. there is actually an investigation into the incident that was taken so seriously, but at the time, there was a decision not to prosecute anyone about the funeral. a few months after it happened, michelle o'neill months after it happened, michelle 0'neill said she would never apologise for attending the funeral of a friend, but today, she has done that. she did say sorry as you just heard, and she was asked by baroness hallett, that chair of the covid inquiry, could she not have foreseen that her actions would cause a lot of hurt upset. michelle 0'neill said
5:52 pm
she didn't, but she ought to have, and she very much directed the apology to family members of those who died with covid during the pandemic who were sat in the same room as her during her evidence and hearing to the inquiry. i've actually spoken to some of them after her apology to get their reaction. i spoke to one woman whose mother was the first person —— fourth person to die of covid and northern ireland. she said she was glad michelle 0'neill apologise, but it was a step in the right direction, but that she was really disappointed it had taken over four years to get that apology. she wasn't able to have a funeral for her mother and she said the time, it reinforced the thoughts amongst the public that there is one set of rules for normal people and another for politicians. a woman who saved her twin sister from a crocodile attack by punching it is to be awarded the king's gallantry medal.
5:53 pm
melissa and georgia laurie were on a holiday in mexico in 2021 when their trip of a lifetime became the stuff of nightmares. judith moritz�*s report starts with some pictures of the bite marks. a crocodile's calling card. this is how melissa laurie's legs worked after she was attacked. her injuries were extensive, but could have been so much worse if it wasn't for her sister georgia. the twins were travelling in mexico. keen adventurers, they went for a swim in this lagoon, having been told it was safe — but then they saw a terrifying sight. his little head booking up with the two eyes looking at me — "it's a crocodile". i thought one of us was going to die. ijust didn't know who it would be. it is going to get one of us, right? you don't want it to be anyone, but you definitely don't want it to be your sister, you know.
5:54 pm
the crocodile reached melissa first and grabbed her, but george wasn't going to let it win. what did you do? ijust...punched it a lot. i had heard that you should punch a shark in the nose if it attacks you, and so ijust tried that. the crocodile attacked three times. georgia managed to fight it off and get her sister onto a boat, determined to keep her conscious. i sang to melissa stand by me and i kept singing the chorus on repeat, "i won't be afraid as long as you stand by me". and that song just means so much to us, as well as bob marley, three little birds — "don't worry about a thing because every little

5:56 pm
it was a mild start to this morning, but it was also a rather wet one, too, particularly for parts of the midlands, into yorkshire, south—east england as well, with a weather front gradually pushing more rain northwards and eastwards and then largely stalling. but some of the best sunshine today will be across northern scotland. this is where we could also see the day's highest temperatures. low pressure very much dominant not just today, but as we head through much of the rest of the week as well, just pushing this weather front slowly northwards and eastwards. but the rain is starting to weaken on this. always a lot of cloud, particularly for these north sea—facing coasts where it is quite cool. there will be sunny spells emerging further west but also the chance of a few showers for wales, northern ireland and down towards the south—west of england. quite windy here for a time but the best of the sunshine for parts of caithness and sutherland here. across the moray firth, we could see 21—22 celsius perhaps. 0vernight tonight, ourfront is practically stationary. the rain is gradually dying away, but there could be a second pulse just pushing into south—east england and east anglia up through
5:57 pm
the midlands in time for tomorrow morning. 0ut towards the west there will be some clear spells. watch out for mist and fog perhaps developing early on, but it is a mild start to the day. temperatures in double figures across the board. then into tomorrow, for most of us, it is looking a bit drier than today, but still some outbreaks of rain still for these north sea —facing coasts. here again, it is cool and breezy. but some sunshine across much of scotland, sunny spells for northern ireland, always the chance of a few showers here and out towards the west as well. there will be some brighter spells here and there. top temperatures again for caithness and sutherland, 23, even 2a celsius. on thursday, there'll still be some showers around and some of these showers could be heavy showers could be heavy and thundery in nature. but again there will be some brightness and spells of sunshine to the north and also towards the south as well — temperatures once more slightly above the seasonal average
5:58 pm
for the vast majority. it's another mild night to follow as well. the low pressure will gradually pull away to the near continent as we head through friday and into the weekend. still some showers in the south, but a ridge of high pressure will start to influence our weather further north, so here, it should be largely dry and it will feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine. bye— bye.
