' the 'the cease-fire in for 3 end for the cease—fire in israel, and don't trump for a end for the cease—fire in israel, and don't trump says he will restore his conviction which has roots rocked the presidential race. you're very welcome. us president biden is urging leaders of israel and hamas to accept an israeli ceasefire proposal — saying it's time for this war to end. in a speech on friday, he set out a roadmap for peace — broken down into three phrases — that includes a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of israeli troops from gaza, the return of hostages held by hamas, and the the us is working with israel, qatar, and egypt to negotiate an end to the war, in which more than 36,000 people in gaza

have been killed. an attack by hamas and other palestinian armed groups in israel on october 7th killed more than 1,100 people. mr biden said the israeli proposal is now with hamas. he called on the group to accept it, while urging israeli leaders to stand behind the proposal in what the us president says is a �*decisive moment.�* i know there are those in israel who will not agree with this plan and will call for the war with this plan and will call for the war to continue indefinitely. some, some are even in the government coalition. and they've made it clear they want to occupy gaza. they want to keep fighting for years and the hostages are not a priority to them. well, i've urged the leadership in israel to stand behind this deal despite whatever pressure comes. after the speech, israeli prime minister benjamin

describes to go and phase two, permanent cessation of hostilities. there are difficulties here. the conditions under which all of this is to be achieved has to be outlined. understandings on how it is that an end state is to be created, for reconstruction, but not under hamas governments can take place. all that will have to be worked out. but it can be done. hamas, though, though has the responsibility to accept this is the premise for the sake of palestinians, for the broader sake of the region, for certainly that of israel, and immediately. donald trump is now the first—ever us president

to be convicted of a crime after thursday's historic verdict found him guilty on 3a felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to adult film star stormy daniels. his attorneys say — they'll appeal the verdict. and on friday, mr trump repeated his claim — that he's the victim of a political witchhunt. it was a rigged trial. we wanted a venue change, where we could have a fair trial. - we didn't get it. we wanted a judge change, i we wanted a judge that wasn't conflicted and obviously he didn't do that. - nobody's ever seen anything like it. - john sudworth spoke to me about what the president said. . so sudworth spoke to me about what the president said. ._ the president said. . so often with mr trump, _ the president said. . so often with mr trump, one - the president said. . so often with mr trump, one that - with mr trump, one that displayed a freewheeling facsimiles relationship with... mainly that those seismic

verdicts delivered in the current worm down there were nothing short of a white house orchestrated plot to undermine his campaign. the constant undermining of the integrity of the justice system. mr biden himself called that out himself. something was noticed that mr trump also �*s —— was sometimes more weary than angry. it could be assigned at the weeks and weeks in the courtroom had their toll. the verdicts were getting toll. the verdicts were getting to him. 0r might it be, as some will wonder, be a sign that there is political manager mr trump in portraying himself as something of a victim. he said himself in this speech today that in the few hours since a verdict, his campaign has

raised almost $40 million. the verdict marks an unprecedented moment in us history. so far, though, opinion polls show — it hasn't moved the needle too far for voters — with president biden leading 41% of registered voters say they'll vote for say they'll vote for biden. 39% are in favour of trump. i spoke with nick will make —— mick mulvaney with what you thought. my make -- mick mulvaney with what you thought-— you thought. my guess is he's extraordinarily _ you thought. my guess is he's extraordinarily angry. - you thought. my guess is he's extraordinarily angry. no-onej extraordinarily angry. no—one wants to be committed of the crime. it is bad for his brand,

as was being impeached a couple of times. that being said, i don't agree with the correspondent that he is weary by this. this is the kind of thing that interventions him. —— energises. i imagine he will be taking this message out on the road in a way that he was going to do anyway, but certainly more fired up about them. "i am rich, i'm famous and i'm white, and if they can do it to me, i measure what they would do to you".- do it to me, i measure what they would do to you". that has been his message _ they would do to you". that has been his message since - they would do to you". that has been his message since the - been his message since the first charges came down. my guess is you will say that amped up considerably. he's awaiting a sentence and has a to launch an appeal. is that going to impact how he carries on with his campaign notwithstanding what you're saying about the energy? i

saying about the energy? i don't think so, other than the time and energy in the money will take. we all knew those things were hanging over donald trump. 0ne things were hanging over donald trump. one in new york that was just completed. we knew those were hanging over donald trump. this is not going to change. my guess is that he did lose some voters last night. but he may also have picked up some boats as indicated by the huge fundraising overnight results of those —— if those are accurate. i don't think you'll see a dramatic change because one way or another, there's really not much difference other than conviction versus what we had 2a hours ago. if other than conviction versus what we had 24 hours ago. if we take a step _ what we had 24 hours ago. if we take a step back— what we had 24 hours ago. if we take a step back from _ what we had 24 hours ago. if we take a step back from donald . take a step back from donald trump himself, you're a proud republican and american. do you want your party to have a convicted felon at the top of the ticket and pengelly as president. i the ticket and pengelly as president-— the ticket and pengelly as president. i prefer not that

——jean —— jean mackenzie. has this report. this is what ukraine has been so desperate to stop — an onslaught along its north—eastern border. russia has been able to bombard the city of vovchans'k with impunity, launching attacks from russian soil then seizing ground. 0vernight, it struck an apartment block in the region's capital, kharkiv, 20 miles from the border. at least six people were killed. elena's husband and mother were inside and are still missing. president zelensky has pleaded to be allowed to properly defend his country by using nato weapons to strike russia. washington has finally agreed, but with strict limits. ukraine can only target russian positions along the kharkiv border. this is some step forward to that goal which we discussed before, to make the possibility to defend our people who live in the villages through the borderline. but russia is pushing on multiple fronts.

earlier, the united states hinted that having changed his mind once, president biden could do it again. we will continue to do what we have been doing, which is, as necessary, adapt and adjust. since the start of the war, president biden has been weighing up on one hand his support for ukraine and on the other, the need to stop this escalating into an even bigger conflict between russia and the west. he has been nervous about how moscow, with its nuclear weapons, would respond to this move. but as the situation on the battlefield has changed, so too have mr biden�*s calculations. the us has changed the rules of this grinding war. russia, despite its many threats, has yet to make its next move. jean mackenzie, bbc news, kyiv. as the us ramps up its policy

the beginning ofjune marks the start of summer, and the weather is going to feel fairly summer—like this weekend. it will be dry for most of us, warm in the sunshine, but the nights will still be quite chilly. and saturday getting off to a rather chilly start. these are the temperatures in the towns and cities. out in the countryside, some spots a little bit colder than that. but after that chilly start, most places will see some spells of sunshine. any early mist will clear. this area of cloud, across east anglia and the south—east, that should tend to break up to give some spells of sunshine. but then we've got this zone of cloud pushing out of southern scotland, into northern england, affecting parts of northern ireland, north wales, the north midlands. may be producing the odd shower. temperatures for some northern and eastern coasts, around 14, 15, 16 degrees. in shelter, southern and western parts, highs of 20 or 21 degrees. now, through saturday night into sunday, a few mist patches, but largely clear skies overhead. that will allow temperatures to drop down into single digits for many. high pressure in charge of the weather this weekend, centred to the west of us. but as we get into sunday, the orientation of that high will allow this clump of clouds to roll its way into the northern half of the uk.

so, clouding over, i think, across parts of northern ireland, certainly northern and western parts of scotland. a little bit of patchy rain, perhaps some more persistent rain, into the north—west later. eastern scotland should see some brightness, and for england and wales, we'll hold on to some spells of sunshine and it is going to feel warm out there — highs of 22 or maybe 23 degrees. always a bit cooler towards the north and the west of the uk, where this frontal system will be bringing some outbreaks of mostly light and patchy rain. that front sinking a little bit further southwards into monday. not much rain left on it by this stage, but certainly a band of cloud pushing southwards. that cloud likely to affect parts of wales, southern england by monday afternoon, with the odd shower. further north, some spells of sunshine, temperatures down a little bit but still getting to 20 or 21 degrees. but those temperatures do have further to fall. the summer—like warmth not lasting all that long for some of us, with this cooler air sinking its way southwards. so temperatures will be dropping, actually, towards the middle and the end of the week, and particularly in the northern half of the uk,

we will see some showers.
