near the us capitol building in washington after a man drove his car into two officers before getting out of the vehicle and lunging at them with a knife. the man was then shot by police. he later died. a minneapolis homicide investigator has said police officer derek chauvin used "totally unnecessary" deadly force when kneeling on george floyd's neck during an arrest last may. mr chauvin denies the charges against him. police have been questioning the manager of the construction site, whose truck is suspected of causing a train accident in which at least fifty people died. the train hit the lorry that slid onto the tracks from the building site causing hundreds of people to be trapped for hours. during the pandemic, video games have been a growing

source of entertainment and a way for many people to socialise online. the last year has seen increased investment in the uk games sector, so much so that developers are hiring new staff in large numbers. marc cieslak reports the uk games industry has experienced massive success in the last 12 months. one example of this is developer sports interactive. based in east london's olympic park, it's grown as a business so much, it's moving to new, bigger offices. so this area here is where programmers and artists will be. it's very much been set up for a new way of working. as a studio, we've been going forjust under 30 years. originally started in two kids�* bedrooms in shropshire. since then, we've grown to 200. in london's brick lane, the games might be on a smaller scale, like this mobile title mochi from indie developer love shark, but expansion is occurring here too. so we've been around

for about three years now, and we make games for teenage girls. so these days 84% of teenage girls play video games. it's actually more popular of a hobby than shopping. so we've doubled the size of our team in the last year. during covid, gaming has seen a huge boom. this has led to massive financial success. last year, the uk games market generated £7 billion — up nearly 30% on the ear before. as the jobs market is left reeling from the effects of the covid—19 pandemic, could a career in video games beckon for many? and are people equipped with the right skills for a career in the industry? the unfortunate reality is that there is a skills gap. there are lots ofjobs that people could retrain to be looking to do. if you've worked in sales, with the kind of mind that you've got that's constantly looking at numbers and targets, and analysing those to find out who you need to be calling to sell to, retrain to be a data analyst, because it's not just games that need more data analysts, it's every company in the uk needs more people

looking at data. as big as the video games industry is, can it really have a significant impact on the uk jobs market? it's a relatively small portion of overalljobs. if you supportjobs across a number of sectors, obviously that builds up to a bigger number. i think it's legitimate to have a strategy that focuses on specific industries. a source of entertainment and employment, video games are a truly successful 21st—century combination of art, commerce and technology. marc cieslak, bbc news. now on bbc news it's time for this week's edition of our world. hadicha is fighting forjustice.

her husband, azimjan, has been in prison for ten years for crime he says he didn't commit. now he has one last chance of freedom. but as the court case approaches, coronavirus is spreading. this is the story of hadicha and azimjan and their fight forjustice.

kyrgyzstan, a central asian country which borders china. most of the 6 million population are kyrgyz. but there arejust under1 million uzbeks. one of them is hadicha. for ten years she has campaigned for her husband, azimjan askarov, a human rights activist who is in prison.

hadicha and azimjan have been married for over a0 years,

but in 2010 he became caught up in violent clashes between kyrgyz and uzbeks. azimjan set out to find out.

while azimjan was documenting the violence, police visited hadicha. now azimjan found himself being interrogated by the same

local police he had been investigating. he says he was mistreated. shortly after his arrest, he told a localjournalist what happened. azimjan was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering a policeman and inciting ethnic hatred. he has always strongly denied the charges and says he was not given a fair trial.

hadicha has spent the last ten years campaigning for azimjan�*s release. but despite international pressure and a un human rights committee calling for him to be freed, he remains in prison. hadicha and azimjan are both artists.

hadicha and azimjan have four children and ten grandchildren.

today, hadicha is making the 14—hour journey to the capital, bishkek, where the supreme court will make a final ruling on azimjan�*s case.

but right from the start, they find justice is hard to come by.

the court postpones the verdict and rules that hadicha has to pay $1,600 to the family of the policeman who was killed. if she doesn't, half of her house will be confiscated. hadicha's monthly pension is $60.

every few weeks, hadicha makes the long journey to prison 19, where azimjan is being held. but this time,

they hit a problem. the coronavirus is now spreading across kyrgyzstan, which puts an end to prison visits. once a month, hadicha and azimjan talk on the phone.

despite the pandemic, the court pushes ahead with the final hearing in may. the court upholds azimjan�*s life sentence. it's the end of hadicha's hopes for justice.

hadicha continues to wait and work on new parcels for azimjan.

today she's baking traditional uzbek food for azimjan. with coronavirus spreading rapidly through kyrgyzstan, amnesty international and human rights watch step up their calls for azimjan to be released on health grounds. he is 69 and considered to be at risk.

the kyrgyz government told the bbc:

azimjan was buried in uzbekistan on the muslim festival of eid al—fitr. his family believed holding the ceremony on a holy day was a good sign for his spirit.

hello there. it's likely to be a dry day for most of the united kingdom today but there will be contrasts.

where we keep the cloud as we had yesterday, temperatures will be held into high single figures, but in the sunshine, potentially 14—15. now, under the starry skies, that's where we see the frost as we start this saturday morning, but you can see the thicker cloud across northern scotland, central and eastern england, perhaps east wales. and there could also be a little bit of mist and fog where we've kept the clear skies as well. but the day is likely to give us quite a bit of cloud across central and eastern areas. it's likely to lift a little as we go through the day and the skies brighten. similarly so across northern scotland, we keep quite a bit. for the likes of lincolnshire, east anglia and the south east, though, it could remain overcast all day. and with that keen breeze still quite gusty through the channel, only eights and nines, but 13—15 in the sunnier spells. now, as we go through the evening and overnight, we tend to thicken our cloud in the north, but under the starry skies elsewhere, again we can expect a touch of frost. but you may have noticed the approach of some rain for the north of scotland, and that's the start of the transition to much colder air. it's this particular weather front here, as you can see, and behind it, there's arctic air following. so, we are going to have

another blast of cold air as we head through in towards easter monday, but for sunday, easter day, a little bit of mist and fog around. actually, we should see a bit more sunshine for england and wales, but cloudier skies with rain for scotland followed by snow and cloudier skies for northern ireland. eventually, we'll see some of that wet weather coming in through the afternoon. but notice the temperatures. we've lost that keen north—easterly. they're a little bit higher temporarily. but overnight sunday into monday, that weather front introduces that colder air right the way across the uk, an arctic blast for all of us. and notjust the cold air, but a strong to gale—force north wind, as well, which will accentuate the chill. clearly, the showers are quite prevalent for northern scotland, but they may well work their way down through the irish sea, down the east coast of both england and scotland as well. but there should be some sunshine between, but itjust will feel much colder, more like winter. these are the temperatures on the thermometer, but you add on that wind—chill, and it will feel significantly colder. so, big changes afoot, and that may well last into the start of the new week into tuesday, as well, as you can see. as ever, you can keep up

to date on the weather on the website. that's where all the warnings are. bye— bye.
