and as we head into the second half of the weekend, i think similar temperatures, high—teens, low—20s celsius. a fair amount of cloud at times, but still with some spells of sunshine.

hello, i'm rajini vaidyanathan. you're watching the context on bbc news. london's free newspaper, the evening standard, is to scrap its daily print edition and move to a weekly publication instead. let's return to that breaking news from new york and donald trump's hush money trial. we heard earlier that thejury we heard earlier that the jury had returned to ask further questions. they wanted to hear some of the evidence again as they continue their deliberations. our north america correspondent nada tawfikjoins us now. just bring us up—to—date on what's been happening where you are. yeah.

been happening where you are. yeah, well, the jury — been happening where you are. yeah, well. the jury has _ been happening where you are. yeah, well, the jury has been _ been happening where you are. yeah, well, the jury has been sent _ been happening where you are. ir—u well, the jury has been sent home now. they have not reached a verdict yet. they are still about nearly five hours into their deliberations, but the judge five hours into their deliberations, but thejudge had five hours into their deliberations, but the judge had said that today would end around now. and that further days in court would potentially go later, butjurors had twice rung the bell to say that they had two notes for the judge. twice rung the bell to say that they had two notes for thejudge. the latest note said they want the judge to reread parts of his instructions to reread parts of his instructions to them. he wants them to clarify what exactly, which parts of those they want reread, but the real meat of what they asked for earlier was to have testimony reread to them from two people. first, david pecker, former publisher of the national enquirer. he was the first witness of prosecutors put up, and prosecutors and their closing arguments said that his testimony was extremely destructive and devastating for donald trump and

that his testimony stood on its own. and what they want to hear from his testimony is a meeting he had in trump tower in august 2015 with donald trump and michael cohen. they want to reread that testimony about that meeting. they also want testimony from a phone call he had with donald trump ahead of an investor meeting went donald trump told him that he knew who karen mcdougall was. and finally they want to reread his testimony from when he decided not to sell donald trump, to get reimbursed from donald trump for paying hush money to the former playboy model. and then the second person they want testimony from his michael cohen, the prosecution's star witness. they also want to read what he said in that august 2015 trump tower meeting which prosecutors that is where the entire catch and kill scheme was hatched to kill negative stories about donald trump to help his campaign. find kill negative stories about donald trump to help his campaign. and this trial has lasted, _

trump to help his campaign. and this trial has lasted, what, _ trump to help his campaign. and this trial has lasted, what, some - trump to help his campaign. and this trial has lasted, what, some six - trial has lasted, what, some six weeks or so and it's heard from dozens of witnesses. just remind us what the main arguments were from the prosecution and the defence asked the jury now continues its deliberations.— asked the jury now continues its deliberations. yeah, well, closing arguments _ deliberations. yeah, well, closing arguments yesterday _ deliberations. yeah, well, closing arguments yesterday went - deliberations. yeah, well, closing arguments yesterday went well i deliberations. yeah, well, closing l arguments yesterday went well into the evening, so both sides can try to win over thejury. the evening, so both sides can try to win over the jury. from the prosecution, they say this is ultimately about donald trump trying to defraud the american voter in 2016 before the election. they say that he tried to hide damaging information from them come to prevent another sex scandal from coming out with the stormy daniels, the former adult film star, paying her $130,000 through his former lawyer michael cohen for her to keep quiet about an alleged sexual encounter. a sexual encounter that donald trump continues to deny. and they said that that was on the conspiracy, and then there was a

cover—up, that he falsified business records to disguise the reimbursement to come in for that hush money payment by putting it in business records as legal expenses. when you hear from the defence, they say this is all a lie. donald trump is innocent, michael cohen his former lawyer isjust out is innocent, michael cohen his former lawyer is just out for revenge and has lied about donald trump's intent and donald trump never intended to defraud anyone and genuinely thought he was paying michael cohen for legal services. 0k, michael cohen for legal services. ok, the very latest from the courtroom in manhattan, thank you very much. a reminder that we have live updates on the bbc news website will be continue to run a life page with all of the developments on the case and the trial in new york. let's get back to the uk general election. i'm stilljoined by the panel and we will discuss more issues in a moment. so the conservatives are promising 100,000 more apprenticeships per year by the end of the next parliament, funded by scrapping

what they call "rip—off" university courses. how would it work? 0ur education editor branwen jeffreys reports from birmingham. universities in england already have to meet minimum standards, and the regulator can fine them if they don't. the conservatives want to go further and close down courses that are deemed to be of "low value". for the first time, that could include taking graduate earnings into account, and that might squeeze some creative subjects. it's also not clear exactly how much money it would save. there's no limit on the number of university places available in england, so it's up to students what they decide. i know a lot of people that i know would rather do an apprenticeship than a uni degree. i believe every single degree has value. the conservative skills promise involves creating 100,000 extra apprenticeships a year by the end of the next parliament.

the party says by then it would cost £885 million. large employers already have to put cash into supporting apprenticeships. but each year, around £550 million of that is handed back to the government unspent, raising questions about employers' willingness to get involved in creating new apprenticeships. so for these changes to happen, it requires both students and employers to make different decisions, and that's beyond the control of any government. branwenjeffreys, bbc news, birmingham. i'm joined now by martin shipton — the nation.cymru associate editor in wales — lucy fisher — the financial times whitehall editor — nadine batchelor—hunt — the political reporter for politicshome in birmingham — and chris morris, the ceo of full fact, a british charity which checks and corrects facts reported in the news and on social media. i promise there from the

conservative party for 100,000 more apprenticeships per year. also mr sunak say many university courses are rip off. chris, what do you make of all that?— of all that? interesting that after da s or it of all that? interesting that after days or it seemed _ of all that? interesting that after days or it seemed the _ days or it seemed the conservatives would go after issues that would attract elderly voters or voters over the age of 65, things of the protectable lot plus pension promise, things like national service though aimed at old people, appealing to an older generation, this is aimed at potentially trying to attract younger voters. i think there is a bit of a sting in the tail. they won't say what they think rip off the grief they want to replace art, and i think for a lot of students to repay more than £9,000 a year in tuition fees probably would not like to be told by the government that the degrees they are doing for which they are accumulating quite a large amount of debt are a ripoff. i think it's clear we do need more apprenticeships, and so that makes sense. but i think the object of

calling a lot of university degrees ripoffs are perhaps not quite so wise. ., �* , ripoffs are perhaps not quite so wise. . �* , ., wise. nadine, i'm bringing un on this and what _ wise. nadine, i'm bringing un on this and what do _ wise. nadine, i'm bringing un on this and what do you _ wise. nadine, i'm bringing un on this and what do you make - wise. nadine, i'm bringing un on this and what do you make of- this and what do you make of this with chris think this is clearly an appeal to younger voters, is this an appeal to younger voters, is this an appeal likely to work? that appeal to younger voters, is this an appeal likely to work?— appeal likely to work? that is a turowin appeal likely to work? that is a growing sentiment _ appeal likely to work? that is a growing sentiment among - appeal likely to work? that is a growing sentiment among a - appeal likely to work? that is a growing sentiment among a lot appeal likely to work? that is a i growing sentiment among a lot of good _ growing sentiment among a lot of good people about going to universityjust does not leave you well off — universityjust does not leave you well off. what i will say is when i soak _ well off. what i will say is when i soak into — well off. what i will say is when i soak into stakeholders about the current _ soak into stakeholders about the current situation in apprenticeships, there is a lot of unhappiness with a lack of flexibility of them and i think what you reporter pointed out about how £32 million of apprenticeships are going _ £32 million of apprenticeships are going unclaimed each year is part of the problem. and i think what they are calling — the problem. and i think what they are calling for is greater reform. so apprenticeships have to have the ability— so apprenticeships have to have the ability to— so apprenticeships have to have the ability to be shorter and therefore they can _ ability to be shorter and therefore they can get more people through rather_ they can get more people through rather than having fixed terms on them _ rather than having fixed terms on them that — rather than having fixed terms on them. that sort of thing. they can have _ them. that sort of thing. they can have a _ them. that sort of thing. they can have a real— them. that sort of thing. they can have a real impact on the number of finishes but — have a real impact on the number of finishes but instead we are seeing this big _ finishes but instead we are seeing this big number and obviously big

there to be an expansion of opportunities for people to be working in industries which are expanding and where we've got export opportunities. and frankly brexit has done an enormous amount of damage to the economy of the uk where there is of the flexibility that there once was, where we were have people coming in to a country and people bringing opportunities to travel around to get work elsewhere. now you've got a sense that in many cases people are landed with huge debts, but they end up working on supermarket tales. this is a very major problem this is something which i think young people are very concerned about. and probably are quite disillusioned about in terms of the lack of offer it to them which is coming from political parties.

the london newspaper the evening standard has announced it's set to scrap its daily editions in favour of a weekly publication. the newspaper is currently circulated free of charge at the capital's underground stations from monday to friday, but the paper is blaming home—working and the availability of wi—fi on the tube for falling circulation. still got the panel with me and i've actually got a copy, a physical copy

of the evening standard. there you go. it's a rare antique root will be a rare antique soon, i'm sure. lucy, i will bring un first. you work for a paper which is also of course online now. do you think this is just a sad state of affairs or the direction of travel now and a growing digital world?- direction of travel now and a growing digital world? growing digitalworld? well, look, i think the scale _ growing digitalworld? well, look, i think the scale of _ growing digitalworld? well, look, i think the scale of the _ growing digitalworld? well, look, i think the scale of the evening - think the scale of the evening standard's losses, £84.5 million in the past six years, it's just obviously not sustainable and as of the publisher has said today. in and nostalgic sense, i feel sad and of the paper won't be publishing, you know, daily but i was with a data strategy in place to move to a weekly publication and i them well on that front was a buddy think this is the direction of travel. the pandemic accelerated a trend we were already seeing which of people wanting to consume news more online, on apps or mobile devices while they are on a computer going about their business during the day rather than having a physical and more unwieldy

copy to sort of hold under their arm. so i think this is probably the direction of travel, but it is a sad day for like me you are inky fingered and like to read it in its physical edition. brute fingered and like to read it in its physical edition.— fingered and like to read it in its physical edition. we will get ink on our fitures physical edition. we will get ink on our figures any _ physical edition. we will get ink on our figures any more _ physical edition. we will get ink on our figures any more either, will i our figures any more either, will we? martin, what do you make of all of this equipment i found it impossible to do a crossword online so i'm going to miss the evening standard for that alone.- so i'm going to miss the evening standard for that alone. well, and to 'ust standard for that alone. well, and to just over _ standard for that alone. well, and to just over a _ standard for that alone. well, and to just over a year— standard for that alone. well, and to just over a year ago, _ standard for that alone. well, and to just over a year ago, i - standard for that alone. well, and to just over a year ago, i worked l tojust over a year ago, i worked for the _ tojust over a year ago, i worked for the western male, a paper in wales, _ for the western male, a paper in wales, and — for the western male, a paper in wales, and unfortunately the circulation has declined considerably since the advent of the website _ considerably since the advent of the website in — considerably since the advent of the website. in the last 15—20 years, the super— website. in the last 15—20 years, the super circulations have really gone _ the super circulations have really gone down, but the difficulty facing the industry is getting revenue from digital _ the industry is getting revenue from digital an— the industry is getting revenue from digital. an reach has gone down the

hello from the bbc sport centre. i'm marc edwards. we start with gold, and all charges against world—number—one scottie scheffler have been dropped following his arrest at the us pga championship earlier this month. the american was arrested outside valhalla golf club while trying navigate heavy traffic hours before his second round at the tournament. the charges included reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer. it's obvious he didn't do anything wrong, and as i said repeatedly, the more evidence that comes out, the more it shows that scottie was the victim here. and, you know, i think everybody sees something like this happen and realises they're one wrong turn or running into the wrong person away from going to jail themselves. defending french open women's champion iga swiatek survived a bruising encounter with naomi 0saka, eventually winning the second—round contest in three sets. world—number—one swiatek took

the first set on a tie—break before the four—time grand slam champion stormed back to claim the second 6—1. swiatek eventually prevailed after saving a matchpoint in a thrilling third set, which she took 7—5. she's now won 16 consecutive singles matches at roland—garros. the dream of achieving three in a row is alive and well but for 0saka, who only returned to the sport four months ago after having her daughter, a value into her tournament. honestly h o nestly if honestly if the worst. i have felt worse for sure. i cried when i got off the court, but then for me i kind of realise i was watching her win the tournament last year and i was pregnant and it was just my dream to be able to play here. so

when i kind of think of it like that, others began doing pretty well. over on the men's side, carlos alcaraz needed to dig deep to beat inspired qualifierjesper de jong and reach the french 0pen third round. spain's alcaraz looked subdued at times in a 6—3,6—1l,2—6, 6—2 victory over a player ranked 173 places below him, a rusty performance from two—time grand slam—winner. who twice had to come from a break down in the fourth set. in the end, though, doing what he had to do. he dominated most of the points in the first set, and i was struggling to get to my good tennis, or the tennis i was playing in the first and second set. then in the fourth set, i had to fight. i had to overcome the problems that i had much of the time with myself, but really happy that i could get the win in a good way at the end.

it's the final of the europa conference league in athens. 0lympiakos are trying to become the first greek football side to win a european club competition. they are up against fiorentina, the runners—up in the competition last year. i'd love to be able to dress this up for you or even create a bit of tension, but no, it is 0—0. fiorentina coming closest taking the lead nikola milenkovic scuffs a shot past the keeperfrom a corner, but var but var ruled it out for offside. it's that time of year the off—season, managerial merry—go—round. this one from burnley to bavaria,

vincent kompany has been appointed bayern munich head coach on a three—year deal. the former manchester city captain retired from playing in 2020. he moved from anderlecht to manage burnley in 2022 and guided them to promotion to the premier league last year in his first season in charge. the clarets, though, suffered relegation from the top flight in may after finishing 19th. the rematch between the undisputed heavyweight champion 0leksander usyk and tyson fury will take place on december the 21st, according to officials in saudi arabia. usyk became the first man to beat fury when he won on a split decision just under two weeks ago, but it's unlikely that all four heavyweight belts will be on the line in the rematch, with the ibf planning to strip usyk as he will not be facing its mandatory challenger next. england's women are in charge of the final 0di against pakistan in chelmsford. a fabulous batting display courtesy of nat sciver—brunt�*s incredible 124 off 117 balls laying the platform. this one her ninth century in 106 0di matches, which saw england to 302—5

and won by 178 runs. ultimately a very simple match for the england side. and that's all the sport for now. hello. it's been another day of heavy downpours for some parts of the uk. i think they will become fewer and further between as we head towards the weekend. and even today, some of us got to see some sunshine. gorgeous scenes there for a weather watcher in whitstable in kent. but this area of low pressure still close by, so there is a bit more rain to come. in fact, this little weather feature bringing some really heavy downpours southwards across scotland and then getting down into parts of northern england as we head on through the night. we will also see some showers for northern ireland, pushing down into wales and the south—west of england, but many other areas starting tomorrow morning on a dry note. temperatures surrounds nine, ten or 11 degrees. so into tomorrow morning, this band of cloud and rain, quite heavy bursts of rain still, pushing southwards across northern england, down into wales, into the midlands, east anglia, and then getting down towards the south coast, where it'll break up into some sharp

and perhaps thundery showers. more cloud and rain for this east coast of england. that will make it feel quite disappointing, particularly when combined with the strength of the wind. further west, not as many showers, more dry weather, some spells of sunshine and temperatures perhaps getting up to around 19 or possibly 20 degrees in sheltered spots. now, as we move out of thursday into friday, the focus shifts from this area of low pressure, which starts to roll away eastwards. the focus shifting to this area of high pressure just starting to build in from the west. now, still cloud and some showery rain across some eastern counties of england, but further north and west, it should be largely dry, spells of sunshine. a bit more cloud here, as well, into the north—west of scotland. maybe only 1a degrees for stornoway, but given some sunshine, glasgow could get to 19. 19 in cardiff as well. some spots likely to get to 20 degrees. and this area of high pressure still with us as we head into the weekend, but with some fairly large areas of cloud circulating around it. so it won't always be sunny.

on saturday, it does look like we'll see quite a lot of cloud across parts of england, maybe into wales. and another bank of cloud trying to roll into northern ireland and the north—west of scotland. but where we do see some sunshine, temperatures doing quite nicely, 20, perhaps up to 21 degrees. and as we head into the second half of the weekend, i think similar temperatures, high—teens, low—20s celsius. a fair amount of cloud at times, but still with some spells of sunshine.
