hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. russia's forces had entered the steel plants and mariupol that has become the focus of its war against ukraine. ukrainian authorities say they are in contact with their soldiers inside the plant which has come underfierce soldiers inside the plant which has come under fierce bombardment since the evacuation of civilians. an investigation finds some of ukraine's most vulnerable children have been left behind after being displaced by war.— have been left behind after being displaced by war. because of their disabilities they _ displaced by war. because of their disabilities they are _ displaced by war. because of their disabilities they are not _ displaced by war. because of their disabilities they are not treated i displaced by war. because of their disabilities they are not treated as human beings. they are only kept alive here. ,, ., , alive here. the us federal reserve is announcing _ alive here. the us federal reserve is announcing its _ alive here. the us federal reserve is announcing its decision - alive here. the us federal reserve is announcing its decision on - is announcing its decision on interest rates anytime now. a rise

of half of 1% is expected to try and team inflation. and the actor amber heard is about to take to the stand in the definition trial that her ex—husband johnny depp. in a moment we'll bring you all the latest from the war in ukraine. but first — some breaking news from the united states. the us federal reserve has been meeting to set interest rates. the fed has a brief to keep price stable but its fighting soaring inflation driven by rising energy prices. we are expecting federal reserve to decide on interest rates and let me get that figure whatever the decision is of course we will bring it straight to you. michelle fleury is in washington.

the federal reserve has just raised rates by half a percentage point as expected bringing its key benchmark rate to the range of 0.75 and 1%. this was a big move designed to try and manage soaring information which is now currently at a a0 year high. it is a step up in efforts that began a month ago. but even when the federal reserve raised rates last month there has not been a cooling off in any shape or form month there has not been a cooling off in any shape orform in prices and sell it is trying to act more aggressively to address the cross —— cost—of—living crisis. there has been some criticism that they have been some criticism that they have been slow on this?— been some criticism that they have been slow on this? there have been len of been slow on this? there have been plenty of criticism _ been slow on this? there have been plenty of criticism that _ been slow on this? there have been plenty of criticism that they - been slow on this? there have been plenty of criticism that they were . plenty of criticism that they were too slow to react and aching part of that is being driven by the fact that is being driven by the fact that you are talking about inflation as a mention at a0 year high. you have to go back to 1981 the last time when inflation was this high. and so, they are being forced to

play catch up and that means we are expecting them to move aggressively throughout much of the rest of this year. there are five more meetings after this one where we expect more rate increases as it tries to manage this problem of inflation. now, if you want to give the benefit of the doubt 20 and you could say is they could not necessarily have anticipated the persistent nature of covid—19 or the war in ukraine all of which have helped to drive up prices even more.— of which have helped to drive up prices even more. what do you think the im act prices even more. what do you think the impact of — prices even more. what do you think the impact of this _ prices even more. what do you think the impact of this rise _ prices even more. what do you think the impact of this rise will _ prices even more. what do you think the impact of this rise will be? - prices even more. what do you think the impact of this rise will be? for. the impact of this rise will be? for ordina the impact of this rise will be? fr?" ordinary americans, they would have to pay more when it comes to borrowing sell credit cards, mortgages, and in fact they were talking to a mortgage realtor yesterday who said they are already seen the impact from some home buyers who are moving up their purchases to try and get ahead of these because they realise the longer they wait the more they are going to have to put towards mortgage costs. this is all designed

to try and slow down price rises and slow the economy but here is the danger if you listen to economists that they have to trade the narrow path and if they moved to aggressively there is a risk that the break something and the fear is can they tackle information without pushing the economy into recession. we are reading snp gained some ground after that that federal reserve statement. 0n just a few minutes ago. this is economics but it's always politics as well. us midterms coming up we are expecting to hearfrom presidentjoe biden. irate to hear from president joe biden. we have to hear from presidentjoe biden. - have heard already from president biden this morning he was talking about how his effort to try and bring down the deficit would help ease some of the pressure on inflation. there is no doubt that this is causing economic pain for many people but it's causing political pain ahead of the midterms

and he will hear a lot more from republicans in the months leading up to that basically hammering the biden administration for not doing more to bring it down but in truth there is very little that the white house can do. it a large need that kind of territory of the federal and that's why our eyes are here today and what policymakers have to say about how they are trained to deal with this, notjust on their top interest rates but also on their $9 trillion portfolio and that was the stimulus they built up to support the economy during the pandemic. which they try to shrink and remove. we begin our coverage of ukraine with news that thousands of disabled children are being abandoned in children's homes. some were found tied to their beds. this is according to an investigation by the human rights group disability rights international. children in the east of the county

have been moved to the relative safety of the west — and then left by their carers who fled to neighbouring countries. a quick warning — you may find this report by danjohnson distressing. it is the sound of the war you haven't heard yet. anna's teeth grinding anxiety hints at the hidden trauma of ukraine's disabled children. the conflict's most vulnerable and least visible victims. there are nervous, disorientated and distressed. they are not treated as human beings. they are only kept alive here. they've been dumped in a place they can barely cope. are you certain you can give these children the care they need? the director couldn't believe how their carers fled and left the children behind. translation: they run out as fast

as they could put up i thought they| were come here and tell us who had epilepsy, i was incontinent and so on, but then they left. - i don't like criticising l my colleagues but this is not the way it's done. victoria is one of 22 children moved here from an orphanage in donetsk, left behind when the less disabled children were taken to germany for she is put in restraints at night. victoria is 1a years old. these are all teenage girls. the nurse tells me she isn't used to dealing with this level of disability and she believes the children are not able to understand their situation. she asks what intellect can you see here? my heart breaks, as a mother of two children. disability rights experts are documenting the conditions.

although they are in a safe place their state will deteriorate because they are not getting any stimulation, any rehabilitation and, to me, this is further disabling them. these were confined lives of institutionalised dependents long before the war and there is no future beyond these. these homes are relics of an outdated system. the boss insists a resident sings for us. staff shortages mean all the residents help care for these children and those in from the east have much greater needs than this place can handle. the disability rights investigators build up three more nearby institutions, struggling with fragile young arrivals. they barely had time to give them individual attention before the war and now they are left lying in cribs, lying in beds, tied down,. it's very dangerous. these children with disabilities are paying the price for the war. this flies in the face of any kind

of international good practice in terms of the care these girls should be receiving but then, on the other hand, this is people trying to do their best in the toughest circumstances. we were told 0ksa na couldn't speak because of severe learning difficulties but helene makes a connection. she says, in a full sentence, that her toe hurts. and 0ksana spots our microphone. there is a flicker of the potential that could be unlocked. are you taking myjob? there is a call for these children to get more international support or the love and care of a family. when so many ukrainians are running from war, it looks like thousands will still face lives of loss and waste, unseen and unheard. we're going to talk about the situation on the ground in ukraine and then get the latest on new oil sanctions.

first let's turn to the situation in the southern port city of mariupol. 0fficials there are reporting russian troops are �*storming' the azovstal steel plant. mariupol has been besieged for weeks. it's mostly under russian control. the steel plant is the last place ukrainian troops are holding. as well as soldiers — many of them wounded — we know hundreds of civilians are still trapped there. to get the latest on what's happening — here's an adviser to president zelensky. what they intend to do to annihilate the rest of our troops and the civilian population we still have there had been waiting for some people to get out and now they probably calculated that the people at this moment could take the steel plant by storm. we don't know exactly what their plans are but we know how they treated our people and other places where they managed to establish their occupation so there

is nothing good that awaits our civilians and our troops in case they are successful in taking control of the steel plant. the azovstal steel works is so important because, as i said, it's the last part of the city under ukrainian control. this is what it looks like from above. underneath there's a sprawling network of tunnels and bunkers. civilians and ukrainian fighters have been using this network. because of this, a week ago president putin told his troops: "block off this industrial area so that not even a fly can pass through." the mayor of mariupol has given this update. unfortunately today the contact with the soldiers has been lost. there is no contact to understand what is going on. so we don't know whether they are safe or not. just yesterday i was still able to speak with them. we pray for our heroic boys. we thank them for the feat which they have already done for the whole of our country. they held back the enemy, gave us more time to prepare and they are real brave and very heroic, our defenders of mariupol.

we are grateful to them for that. russia denies it's storming the plant. this is what the russian defense minister had to say. in accordance with the order of the commander—in—chief, there are many militants in the industrial zone. 0ur proposals to the nationalists, to let civilians go and lay down their arms with guarantees of life and peace and treatment under international law were ignored. while many remain trapped inside the steel mill — some have managed to get out. a new group of civilians left the city earlier. and these are pictures of a convoy which arrived in the city of zaporizha on tuesday. but even the journey there was an ordeal. here's one evacuee. you enter a tent, take off your clothes, they check their documents. they kept saying all is well that they would rebuild and reconstruct mariupol. there is no more mariupol. next — to the city of lviv. it's been hit by a number of missiles. the first strikes in the west

of the country in more than a week. this is the aftermath. we know three electricity substations have been damaged. parts of the city are without power including some medical facilities. the mayor of lviv has been giving an update to the bbc. today all cities in ukraine have a very similar situation. i don't know where the next target for russian missiles. today lviv is a huge hub for refugees and everyday lviv houses new wounded but today in lviv hospital we have to gather more than 1000 wounded. we will now close to our correspondent. shall we start with mariupol? what is the latest we are hearing from there? you mariupol? what is the latest we are hearing from there?— hearing from there? you heard that re ort that hearing from there? you heard that report that day _ hearing from there? you heard that report that day ukrainians - hearing from there? you heard that report that day ukrainians had - hearing from there? you heard that report that day ukrainians had lostl report that day ukrainians had lost contact with their 2000 fighters

inside and the ukrainian authorities are saying they are in contact with those fighters but they are seeing the russians are trying to storm the steelworks. the russians as he reports that are denying that but it would not be the first time they had said one thing and done something else. it does seem that after the evacuation of about a hundred civilians from the steelworks that russian troops are now attacking it must racing it, it looks like a final assault and they're hoping it may be a final assault to deal with those 2000 or so ukrainian paid for making a last stand. it may be with them a ninth victory parade coming up them a ninth victory parade coming up in moscow to mark the soviet victory over nazi germany, president putin once a final victory in mariupol. he wants that steel plants cleared. he may have said before that as lay siege to it but it looks like they're mounting on assault on it. ~ ., like they're mounting on assault on it. . ., , , ., like they're mounting on assault on

"tt2 ukrainian defence ministry was saying today that russian forces are trying to speed up the tempo of their attacks although they've had assessments from british military intelligence and the united states that actually the russians are quite slow with that advance and that offensive and there is several days behind schedule and in some areas we know around suburbs ukrainians are pushing back. we also do get the picture that the russians are using a lot of long—range artillery. much longer artillery and ukrainians have and ukrainian troops in that dumb that dumb that area are suffering and taking some pretty horrendous casualties because the russians have so much aythami artileseye and when you talk to ukrainian politicians hear the one thing they keep saying

time and time again is a small weapons but specifically give us long—range artillery and long—range rockets so they can fire back at the russian forces so they can answer some of those artillery bombardments in the east. flan some of those artillery bombardments in the east. . , ., ., ,, , some of those artillery bombardments in the east. . i. ., ,, , ., in the east. can you take us to the west now? _ in the east. can you take us to the west now? i _ in the east. can you take us to the west now? i am _ in the east. can you take us to the west now? i am interested - in the east. can you take us to the west now? i am interested to - in the east. can you take us to the| west now? i am interested to know what impact these strikes have and of course we know that is traditionally up until now been a medic in of safety. —— been an area of safety. medic in of safety. -- been an area of safe . ~ ~' ., medic in of safety. -- been an area of safe . ~ ~ ., medic in of safety. -- been an area ofsafe .~ ~ ., ., of safety. we know those attacks on electricity substations _ of safety. we know those attacks on electricity substations is _ of safety. we know those attacks on electricity substations is to - of safety. we know those attacks on electricity substations is to hit - electricity substations is to hit some of the railway infrastructure, the transport infrastructure that is being used by ukraine to bring weapons in from poland and elsewhere be coming in through the last and the russians are desperate to destroy some of that infrastructure and stop weapons being transported in. it's notjust in livy else, it's

right around the country we have been talking to ukraine's infrastructure minister who was telling us the russians are specifically targeting roads and railways and bridges and also petrol stations by the way an oil storage depose trying to crush and dismantle the entire infrastructure of this country in order to stop my weapons from coming in and to people this country and the ukrainians say they are suffering from that but they are equally trying to repair that infrastructure as soon as it is destroyed and they are still managing to bring those weapons in and keep the supply routes open. thank you. these are life pictures from the us. is it that defamation trial ongoing betweenjohnny depp and his ex—wife amber heard. we heard from johnny depp testifying now we get to hear

of this evidence being given and we will keep you across the important details. that's it for the moment. there's more to come on outside source. hello. we have warmer weather on the way for all parts of the uk in the days ahead as we tap into a south—westerly airstream bringing us airfrom quite a long way south in the atlantic. more on that in just a moment. for the here and now, we are still seeing some heavier showers clearing away from easternmost england, but overnight, england and wales will become fine with clear spells, perhaps a few patches of mist and fog developing after wednesday's rain. scotland and northern ireland pull in the some weather fronts. there will be some rain first thing across northern and western scotland, it will be very mild here under the cloud and rain. through thursday daytime, we will have high—pressure sitting to the south of the uk.

these are the fronts trying weave into the north. between the two, a south—westerly airstream, and we can follow the source of that air a long way south into the atlantic. yes, it cools somewhat as it journeys across the relatively cooler waters of the atlantic, but it still means for the entire of the uk, our temperature should be bolstered on thursday. for england and wales, one or two stray showers, but thanks to the area of high—pressure, a lot of fine weather, sunshine and up to 21 celsius. more cloud for scotland and northern ireland thanks to the fronts close by. some more persistent rain may keep glasgow back atjust 15 celsius in terms of a high. pollen levels across england and wales will be high on thursday once the sun comes out, it's tree pollen that we are contending with at this time of year. thursday into friday, we see this area of high—pressure just sliding a little further south allowing a more potent weather front to come in from the northwest. rain initially on friday for scotland and northern ireland, pushes down into northern england through the day, brighter skies follow. it will feel little fresher, perhaps, here behind the front,

but in the sunshine, temperature should push up to perhaps 17 celsius again in aberdeen. cooler for northern england with the cloud and rain, still warm to the south, possibly quite cloudy at times. potentially some heavier rain friday night into the early hours of saturday crossing wales and southern counties of england, but for the weekend, it's high—pressure yet again that comes to dominate. sunday, we mayjust see some fronts trying to tip into the northwest, but for the weekend, at the moment, we are talking about a lot of fine weather, and we will still be sitting in that relatively warm air, so temperatures quite widely in the high teens to the low 20s.

let's get more and ukraine. earlier in the programme, we covered the situation on the ground, let's look at the latest sanctions. the european union has proposed some of its toughest measures he had against russia moscow applies 25% of that use oil and a5% of its gas which hasn't been included in the sanctions can have a look at this map and you can see just how relying they eat is on russian gas. that makes it harder to replace it with alternative sources. back to this oil import ban, let's hearfrom the president of the european commission.— president of the european commission. ., , commission. today, we will propose to ban all russian _ commission. today, we will propose to ban all russian oil— commission. today, we will propose to ban all russian oil from _ commission. today, we will propose to ban all russian oilfrom europe. l to ban all russian oilfrom europe. this will be... �*s this will be a complete end point bands seaborne and pipeline, crude and refined. the package also suggests that there

there are certain problems are some countries which we will come unto in a moment, but if it does i got there, what impact do you think it will have? it there, what impact do you think it will have? ., ., ., , will have? it would have a big imact. will have? it would have a big impact. russia _ will have? it would have a big impact. russia is _ will have? it would have a big impact. russia is not - will have? it would have a big impact. russia is not your i will have? it would have a big i impact. russia is not your ordinary producer, its applies about 8% of global oil including products, as you mentioned, it provides more than a quarter of your�*s oil. so it will be a big challenge for the entire continent, it will be a particular chance for the countries that rely on pipeline imports from russia and take that directly from the pipeline system. it will be hard for them to adjust, i think what we are going to see is that this does pass countries will follow what germany has done, pipeline supports and other ways to. it is going to be tough, how do countries go about getting these alternative sources? it’s

countries go about getting these alternative sources?— alternative sources? it's really a country by _ alternative sources? it's really a country by country _ alternative sources? it's really a country by country situation, i alternative sources? it's really a country by country situation, so | alternative sources? it's really a l country by country situation, so if you look at germany, for example, we have the refinery in the northeast part of the country along the polish border that's really dependent on russian crude, their plan is to try to source alternatives surprise —— supplies to poland. it could be sent by pipeline to that refinery, they think that other countries like slovakia, hungary, that are really dependent on russian imports will have to do the same, but you know, if you are a country dependent on the pipeline system, it's obviously much more difficult to do that. we will see what happens with that, because it is a huge potential stumbling block, of course. iwant to dig down into some of the detail here into these proposals. this idea of transportation, could you quickly explain that to us and the impact that could have? i understand the proposal would make it impossible for european countries to carry

russian products, so if you are, you know, a european tech company can we have to put up business for russia. that will be challenging tonight will be a big challenge, russia is trying to find an alternative buyer for its products wherever it can, but if there is a huge tanker fleet, they cannot lift those limits obviously going to create a huge headache for them, and i'm not sure that we have the kind of slack and the transportation system for russia to be able to find alternatives very easily. to be able to find alternatives very easil . , , easily. 0k, we will see if these proposals _ easily. 0k, we will see if these proposals come _ easily. 0k, we will see if these proposals come a _ easily. 0k, we will see if these proposals come a reality. i easily. 0k, we will see if these | proposals come a reality. thank easily. 0k, we will see if these i proposals come a reality. thank you for coming onto the programme. pleasure, thank you. staying in the us let's move to the issue of abortion. the fallout and protests continue after a leaked supreme court document suggested millions of women could lose the legal right to abortion. the supreme court says it's genuine — and they're investigating how the leak happened. first, let me bring you the latest reaction from president biden. he suggested republicans may undermine other rights next.

what are the next things that are going to be attacked? because this maga cloud is really the most extreme political organisation that's existed in american history. in recent american history. in a moment we'll look at what happens next but first a quick reminder. the document is this — it's a draft supreme court decision — or opinion, as they call it. it shows the majority of supreme courtjudges have voted to overturn abortion rights. abortion rights refer to roe v wade — a 1973 supreme court decision which said the us constition protected a women's right to have an abortion. but this is what the supreme court says now. conservative justice samuel alito says "roe must be overturned". and calls it "egregiously wrong from the start". the case at the centre of this is in mississipi — which passed a law making abortions illegal after 15 weeks. this draft suggests the supreme court will rule in favour of that law. support for abortion has become a largely partisan issue — support and opposition split along party lines. many conservative republicans — who tend to be anti—abortion —

have welcomed it. i am pro—life. i had made that very clearfrom the moment i announced my candidacy. i believe that what we found during the campaign and even through today is that there is a lot of common ground on this topic. we went to fewer abortions in virginia, not more. democrats tend to support a woman's right to choose. let's listen now to the reaction from democratic vice president, kamala harris. those republican leaders who are trying to weapon eyes the use of the law against when and, well, we say how dare they! how dare they tell a woman what she can do and cannot do with her own body.

how dare they. how dare they try to stop her from determining her own future? how dare they try to deny women their rights and their freedoms. democrats like kamala harris have been warning this might happen, because of who is in the supreme court. it's made up of 9judges — orjustices — who serve a lifetime appointment. they're nominated by presidents when a vacancy comes up. then confirmed by the senate. that in practice means the party of the president needs to have a senate majority. republican donald trump appointed three when he was president. democratic presidents — barack obama, nowjoe biden — have only got to approve one in the last 10 years. and that was this year — ketanji brown jackson. which means there's now a conservative majority of 6 to 3. and that majority appears to be in favour of rolling back abortion rights. although — as this law professor explains — this document is a draft — the final opinion comes injune.

this has been authenticated as a true draught, but that is just exactly what it means, a draught means they can still try to lobby orjockey within the nine justices to see if perhaps chiefjustice roberts could get someone to compromise and come to the middle, then we may not have this as the majority, then the fear of some is that this will be the majority and the hope of some is that this will be the majority, because of course the country is somewhat torn about this issue. the supreme court had judge says the draught doesn't reflect that final decision, but it is unlikely to change. in a moment we'll hear from gloria allred. she defended norma mccorvey — whose case led to roe v wade. first here's a reminder of that case. in 1969, norma mccorvey, under the pseudonym "jane roe", challenged criminal abortion laws in texas. here's gloria allred and norma mccorvey after abortion became a constituional right. there are five of the nine sipping justices on the sipping justices on the supreme court to clearly oppose

roe v wade, and even though some of the language of the draught opinion may be changed somewhat, i think in the ends, they will strike down roe v wade, which has been the law of the land for almost 50 years, and this is not on the precedents, it's called a super precedent, roe v wade, and it'sjust catastrophic called a super precedent, roe v wade, and it's just catastrophic for women and in the united states that roe v wade may finally be reversed, because that means it's going to be turned back to the states to decide if they wish to make abortion a crime, to ban it or not. they want to codify the right to abortion. president biden set on to say that if the draught is the supreme court's final

decision, his administration will be ready when any ruling is issued to codify roe versus wade. but like the confirmation of supreme court judges, they need to send it to agree, some democratic senators have said they would oppose this, which means the next elections are critical. our correspondent is in washington. let's cross there now. a huge issue, this, and those next steps look complicated from the democrats plaintiff via absolutely. you see quite a sense of urgency, this idea of codifying rover away —— roe versus wade in the statute that emerged after texas enacted its anti—abortion lot back in 2021. but given that this leaked version has cannot given that this leaked version has cannoi . given that this leaked version has cannoi ., , , . ., , , cannot and it seems increasingly likel that cannot and it seems increasingly likely that the _ cannot and it seems increasingly likely that the supreme - cannot and it seems increasingly likely that the supreme court i cannot and it seems increasingly | likely that the supreme court will strike it down, we are seeing that us lawmakers are feeling a lot more urgency to try to get something on

paperas urgency to try to get something on paper as soon as possible. now, of course, as albert, and washington to may need to do a lot of politicking in order to get something passed. so there is of course that worry about whether or not this will pass, or will this end upjust whether or not this will pass, or will this end up just following along party lines? what is important to notice is that i think democrats are barely hoping that some of the more moderate republicans and some of the winning will fall in favour of the winning will fall in favour of trying to protect this under a women's health protection act. it is difficult to overstate the political significance of this issue, isn't it? and other countries, it's perhaps more private moral issue, this is front and centre in politics and split down party lines, making it so significant when elections come up. t it so significant when elections come u -. ~' it so significant when elections comeu. ,, ., , come up. i think what's really happening — come up. i think what's really happening in _ come up. i think what's really happening in america - come up. i think what's really happening in america is, i come up. i think what's really| happening in america is, look, come up. i think what's really i happening in america is, look, that leaked document has come out, so now people are waking up to a new reality in which it is possible that

something that has been in effect for, you know, almost 50 years could no longer be something that will be available to women, that a medical procedure, and i think what a lot of people are trying to do now is to really reframe this discussion, you know, that this is about women's health, and this is not a political issue. but it does make a lot of people worry, is this just the first step into a more polarised supreme court's? this really had quite a chilling effect, even for those that didn't believe that roe v wade should have even been enacted or plugged into the constitution, and i think that is really some of the conversations that are happening now, just really about the supreme court. . ., now, just really about the supreme court. ., ,, , ., now, just really about the supreme court. ., ,, i. ,., now, just really about the supreme court. ., ,, i. . now, just really about the supreme court. ., ,, . ., court. 0k, thank you so much for that. court. 0k, thank you so much for that- right. _ court. 0k, thank you so much for that- right. i— court. 0k, thank you so much for that. right, i want _ court. 0k, thank you so much for that. right, i want to _ court. 0k, thank you so much for that. right, i want to get - court. 0k, thank you so much for that. right, i want to get back i that. right, i want to get back to those life pictures from the us that we have been covering over the last half hour or so, this is the defamation trial between hollywood actorjohnny depp and his ex—wife,

do but visiting for a few days, so i would cut and kind of stay at home and paint or whatever and wait for him to come home and have dinner ready. we would have these little bubbles, kind of scattered throughout the southwest, as he was filming, and at the time, johnny, when i first arrived at one of these locations, it was the first time thatjohnny told me that had a health issue, something with his liver, that he wasn't... that's why he was not drinking. he was drinking a lot of tea. like a lot of tea. 50 a lot of tea. like a lot of tea. so we have heard a little testimony about boots, what if anything did you do to helpjohnny with his boots? you do to help johnny with his boots? ~ ., , , boots? well, i mean, i... i suppose that i boots? well, i mean, i... i suppose that i took— boots? well, i mean, i... i suppose that i took off— boots? well, i mean, i... i suppose that i took off his _ boots? well, i mean, i... i suppose that i took off his boots _ boots? well, i mean, i... i suppose that i took off his boots and - boots? well, i mean, i... i suppose that i took off his boots and it i that i took off his boots and it made an impression on him, i was

picture of that's why santa said he had my dads help on it, and i grew up had my dads help on it, and i grew up on my dad's races, grab writing my dad, so i had resisted, i think, for about a month and a half or something of him kind of bringing up the idea and me saying that's a crazy gift, no thank you, no, that's incredible generous, but i couldn't accept it, all of a sudden had called. —— i had a call to. accept it, all of a sudden had called. -- i had a call to. let's take either— called. -- i had a call to. let's take either 2012 _ called. -- i had a call to. let's take either 2012 and _ called. -- i had a call to. let's take either 2012 and your- take either 2012 and your relationship, could you just described for the jury a little bit about how that relationship evolved through 2012. . it about how that relationship evolved through 2012- -_ through 2012. . it was always intense. _

i remember at first, when he first started drinking i didn't really think much of it, but all of a sudden the behaviour kind of started to go in line with the disappearing and he'd come back and just be different. and i'd say something and he accuse me of saying something else are saying it in a different way and mostly i found myself trying to talk about auditions because it would change the mood so dramatically. he would make these comments about, you know, boring myself out, but do so in the context of me acting, you know, and he would talk about other actresses who do my role in this way where they wear worthless forest, they wear, you know, fame hungry

relationship was always an intense one. we will keep monitoring debts and plenty of other stories, for now, i am louis vonjones, this is outside source. hello. we have warmer weather on the way for all parts of the uk in the days ahead as we tap into a south—westerly airstream bringing us airfrom quite a long way south in the atlantic. more on that in just a moment. for the here and now, we are still seeing some heavier showers clearing away from easternmost england, but overnight, england and wales will become fine with clear spells, perhaps a few patches of mist and fog developing after wednesday's rain. scotland and northern ireland pull in the some weather fronts. there will be some rain first thing across northern and western scotland, it will be very mild here under the cloud and rain. through thursday daytime, we will have high—pressure sitting to the south of the uk. these are the fronts trying weave into the north. between the two, a south—westerly airstream, and we can follow

the source of that air a long way south into the atlantic. yes, it cools somewhat as it journeys across the relatively cooler waters of the atlantic, but it still means for the entire of the uk, our temperature should be bolstered on thursday. for england and wales, one or two stray showers, but thanks to the area of high—pressure, a lot of fine weather, sunshine and up to 21 celsius. more cloud for scotland and northern ireland thanks to the fronts close by. some more persistent rain may keep glasgow back atjust 15 celsius in terms of a high. pollen levels across england and wales will be high on thursday once the sun comes out, it's tree pollen that we are contending with at this time of year. thursday into friday, we see this area of high—pressure just sliding a little further south allowing a more potent weather front to come in from the northwest. rain initially on friday for scotland and northern ireland, pushes down into northern england through the day, brighter skies follow. it will feel little fresher, perhaps, here behind the front, but in the sunshine,

temperature should push up to perhaps 17 celsius again in aberdeen. cooler for northern england with the cloud and rain, still warm to the south, possibly quite cloudy at times. potentially some heavier rain friday night into the early hours of saturday crossing wales and southern counties of england, but for the weekend, it's high—pressure yet again that comes to dominate. sunday, we mayjust see some fronts trying to tip into the northwest, but for the weekend, at the moment, we are talking about a lot of fine weather, and we will still be sitting in that relatively warm air, so temperatures quite widely in the high teens to the low 20s.
