than 60 people, but says it is too early to talk to come forward with new leads about whether to try and proposals, sparking hopes to impeach mrtrump. from relatives that one we are starting this investigation. of the world's biggest aviation mysteries can finally be solved. scientists in australia have made a discovery which could have major implications for combatting we will — tomorrow, we will be climate change. a team at rmit university issuing document requests to over 60 in melbourne has successfully turned different people and individuals, the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from the white house back into solid flakes of carbon, similar to coal, which may be to the department ofjustice, easier to store safely. a little earlier i spoke donald trumer, allen weisselberg, to the lead researcher, dr torben daeneke, in melbourne. he explained the importance to begin investigations to present the case to the american people about obstruction ofjustice, corruption and abuse of power. of their breakthrough. so that would includejohn kelly, the former chief of staff, don mcgahn, the former white house counsel? i would imagine. i mean, i don't have the list the significance here is, because we can do it at room in front of me, but we will be temperature, we will... releasing the list tomorrow of over the process requires a lot less 60 entities, people. energy, so in the past, 0ur correspondent in washington, chris buckler, has more on the grounds for mr nadler‘s inquiry. well, he says he's basing it

on things that have already come people have used processes to convert c02 into solid into the public domain, materials at very high temperatures. even things that donald trump this was done at 600—700 himself has said. degrees celsius. so we can now do it at room temperature, which might actually however, you're right to point out finally lead to a viable technology that he says that they are not that can be used to actively take pursuing impeachment at this stage. c02 out of the air and however, when you listen to that remove it permanently. full interview on abc tv, it was very clear that mr nadler and so, when we're talking is thinking about impeachment about turning this c02 into a coal—like substance, in the longer term. then, does this mean that you could effectively get rid of it, in fact, he said, before you impeach somebody, you have to persuade the american bury it, treat it safely? public that it ought to happen. and what we're seeing here are democrats really trying exactly, so what our new discovery to gather as much information basically offers is a new chemical and evidence as they can against president trump. pathway to convert c02 so he is talking about making into a solid product. requests for documents from a whole range of different people. he mentioned the white house, he mentioned the department in the past, people or scientists ofjustice, but he also mentioned have investigated methods to take specifically a man called allen c02 and store it as a gas, weisselberg. and what they usually do now, he's not somebody that may be known to a lot of people, is they try to pump it underground, and they basically cross but he is the chief financial their fingers and hope that it stays down there for eternity. officer of the trump organisation. and, in recent years, and allen weisselberg there are concerns that are being raised around that. was specifically mentioned by michael cohen during the evidence he gave last week to congress,

suggesting he had information about some of president trump's so what our technology offers is a pathway to turn it to a solid business dealings, that he had some information that might be relevant product, which essentially stores to some of the inquiries the c02 permanently, forever. so what does this mean they are having. so it gives you a sense in terms of climate change? is this the miracle answer that of what democrats are doing here, we're all waiting for? as they try to investigate that is really to be president trump beyond just seen, obviously. we — i'm not a climate expert, this robert mueller report, that we're waiting to hear but what we have developed the details of, but more specifically what they're trying here is a new technology that can to do in congress. let's take a look at some of the day's other news: convert c02 into solid carbon. president trump says the reason he wanted to end joint military exercises with south korea is to save hundreds of millions regardless, i think there's of dollars in costs, still a consensus that it's very though he also suggested it could reduce tensions important to reduce c02 with north korea. emissions in the future, the pentagon and the south korean and this is probably not to be military confirmed on saturday they were ending large—scale seen as a silver bullet. joint exercises. they will now be replaced and when it comes to the scale at which you can do this, with smaller—scale drills. at the moment, of course, this is a first, this is a test. also making news today: is this something that can be as the british government introduced on a large scale? continues its efforts to win round conservative brexiteers can it really have an impact? and the ten democratic unionist mps, we believe so, so we are currently the dup's leader at westminster, nigel dodds, has said his party must see treaty—level change working towards that. to the withdrawal agreement

i have to take responsibility for what i did, serve my sentence. you married her when she was 15 years old... correct. ..how in any way is that acceptable, you were, what, 23? ithink so, yeah, i remember. and you thought that was ok? to be honest, when my friend came in and said there was a girl, she was interested in marriage, i wasn't really interested because of her age but i accepted the offer anyways. so it was acceptable for you to marry a 15—year—old girl? it was her own choice. she was the one who asked to look for a partnerfor her. when i spoke to her last week, she had just given birth. their marriage was arranged by is. they had three children, but only the newborn, jarrah, survives.

you know she has been stripped of her british citizenship, she's viewed as a danger and someone who's undesirable to britain. so why do you think holland would welcome her? she is...i don't understand how she would in any form be a danger, when all she did was she sat in a house with three years, took care of me, took care of my children. she never had anything to do. can you give me a sense of what daily life was like inside raqqa? you must have witnessed beheadings? actually i never witnesses a beheading, no. i've actually witnessed a stoning once. and i have seen people who have been executed, not the execution itself, and that's about it.

quentin has written up his interview on our website. for many in the international community, the reputation of myanmar‘s aung san suu kyi was damaged beyond repair by her refusal to condemn the alleged genocide of rohingya muslims by the burmese military. within the country itself, the nobel peace prize winner remains hugely popular, and few challenge her publicly. but a new generation of democracy activists is beginning to speak out. as part of the bbc‘s crossing divides season, our myanmar correspondent, nick beake, brought one such young activist together with a staunch aung san suu kyi supporter. for me, i think she's not my hero any more. when i hear her name, i think about love, respect and resilience.

i don't think so. we will see about that. she is the leader of the country, and she also has full legitimacy. she doesn't have to, like, how can i say, explain herself? she is not a racist. because she does not have power over the military, everybody knows that. this is so clear, a crime against humanity. genocide is happening, but we can't stand up, future generations will blame us. what were you doing? when the rohingya people, 1 when the rohingya people, i million people, were fleeing out of the country. were you defending the government oi’ were you defending the government or standing were you defending the government orstanding upfor were you defending the government or standing up for oppressed people? that will be history. so, i don't believe irma mac violated the human rights of the rohingya people. i don't believe it. of course, she didn't

go and kill them... she didn't order, i know. she didn't order, i know. she didn't order, i know. she didn't do anything. there is something wrong. let me finish, let me finish. because this problem is cumulative. if you talk about this, black and white, good and evil, and us versus them, all of this discourse masks the real complexity. i think ithink in i think in the transition towards democracy, there are some times you move forward, there are times you move a little bit backwards, some times there are setbacks. this kind of situation is quite usual, notjust in burma, in any kind

of transition to democracy. i feel like we have very limited freedom of expression in burma. we have rights that are so limited, you have to be direct. you can only protest in this way, oi’ you can only protest in this way, or that way, only this issue oi’ or that way, only this issue or that way, only this issue or that issue. we cannot freely think. it is already gone, the bright future. she is already old, i feel the generations will change it. without making sure your present is ok, there is not going to bea is ok, there is not going to be a future. and i think aung san suu kyi is making the future exist. we are quite similar, actually, regarding the military. 0ur opinions against the military. we have some common points. at the end of the day, we are both from myanmar. so though even when we have very opposing opinions we have to work sometimes hand—in—hand, and sometimes hand—in—hand, and sometimes quite oppositely, but at

the end, it should be for the betterment of burma. the spacex dragon capsule has successfully docked with the international space station. nasa is hoping that it could be used to take people into space from us soil for the first time since the shuttle was decommissioned, eight years ago. karen allen has more. two metres away... 248 miles above earth, and this was the moment the spacex dragon capsule successfully docked onto the international space station. capture confirmed. applause and cheering. the applause signalled a sense of relief. ignition, lift—off. it was just over 2a hours earlier, here in florida, that a clear night sky offered a spectacular view of the falcon—9 rocket blasting the capsule into space, ahead of a scheduled manned flight later this year. for now, though, the mannequin on the left — nicknamed ‘ripley,’ inspired by the film alien — was the only passenger on board. here, the first pictures of the scientists from the international space station entering the capsule. there he is, david inside...

the spacex dragon is expected to re—enter the earth's atmosphere on friday, bringing the possibility of commercial space travel one giant leap closer to becoming a reality. karen allen, bbc news. let's head to the streets of brazil's capital, rio dejaneiro, where thousands of dancers from the city's elite samba schools are about to show off their skills at the so—called sambadrome. it's considered the highlight of the city's carnival celebrations and an estimated seven million people are expected to be joining in the celebrations. while the processions are famous for their festive atmosphere, the competition between samba schools is fierce. we need to start dressing up a bit

more for new state! it is true. let's start dance thing the some bat on newsday. jean-paul gaultier was invited and made some of the costu mes invited and made some of the costumes but these are the elite dances and they are having a fantastic time. this will end by ash wednesday when christians begin the lent season. the party is on newsday and in rio dejaneiro. hello again. we had a stormy end to the weekend. in fact, storm freya is still across our shores, there's still the potential for the next few hours of hazardous conditions of travelling, because we've got the heavy rain, some snow, especially over the hills, but even to lower levels. and those gales, really packing a punch. severe gales in places.

this is that tell—tale area of cloud. storm freya, which is going to move out quite quickly through the early hours of monday into the north sea. it does clear out the way, we've got the remnants of the rain in the south, strong and gusty winds, very lively winds, even inland, and we have seen that fell trees. then we've got that heavy rain and gale force winds driving down the north sea coast again. pretty chilly behind it, with frost in northern and western areas. i suppose the potential is there for a bit of ice first thing. otherwise, a much brighter start than we had on sunday. that sunshine continues, but with it comes the increased risk of showers developing in the afternoon. that will obviously temper the way that things feel. plenty of showers for the northern and western isles, coming into mainland scotland eventually, into northern ireland and across england and wales. the potential for wintry weather over the hills, certainly hail and thunder. if you shelter from the breeze in the sunshine you will start to feel the effect of that strengthening march sunshine. lots of showers continuing through the coming night. we could see lengthy

spells of rain and hill snow as well. quite chilly, we will see a touch of frost. fairly localised. low pressure dominates the weather as we go into tuesday. storm freya well and truly off into scandinavia, but with low pressure still keeping things unsettled, there will be showers or longer spells of rain, centred across northern parts of the uk. hill snow as well. that will tend to ease in the south ahead of this next area of rain which is our next area of low pressure. midweek looks set to turn very much more unsettled once again with more widespread rain or heavy showers. strong winds for a time, and yes, a more lengthy spell of snow, potentially, as that weather system comes into that cold air across the northern half of the country. that is something we will keep our eyes on. heavy showers, hail and thunder and gusty winds as well. a tale of two halves on wednesday.

so it does look much more unsettled than last week. they will be chilly weather towards the end of the week when that quietens down. in the meantime, the warnings are on the website.
