1:02 pm
good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. donald trump has been accused of trying to mount a coup to stay in power, after he lost the us presidential election. a congressional inquiry into last year's riot at the capitol building says mr trump summoned the mob and lit the flame for the attack as part of a conspiracy to cling to office. the inquiry has been holding the first in a series of primetime televised hearings into the storming of the capitol. mr trump dismisses them as a hoax and a witch hunt. nomia iqbal reports from washington. they�* re marching eastbound. it's one of the most documented events in modern history. just want to advise, they're trying to breach and get into the capitol. and new footage shows just how close america came to losing its democracy on january the 6th. this was a highly—produced hearing
1:03 pm
made for prime time tv, in which the committee said it would reveal shocking details of what happened. and aware of the rioters�* chants to hang mike pence, the president responded with this sentiment. quote, maybe our supporters have the right idea. mike pence, quote, deserves it. we heard from the attorney general at the time, william barr, once close to donald trump. i made it clear i did not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen and putting out the stuff which i told the president, it was bleep. and, for the first time, we saw mr trump's daughter agree. i respect attorney general barr. so, i accepted what he said, was saying. do you swear and affirm, i under penalty of perjury... then came the live testimony, first from a police officer injured that day by the pro—trump mob. u-s-a, u-s-a, u-s-a!
1:04 pm
i was called a traitor to my country, my oath and my constitution. in actuality, i was none of those things. i was an american, standing face—to—face with other americans, asking myself how, many times... ..many, many times, how we had gotten here. and then a british film—maker, nick quested, who filmed with the proud boys, a far—right militia group accused of sparking the riot. i documented the crowd turn from protesters, to rioters, to insurrectionists. i was surprised by the size of the group, the anger and profanity. and for anyone who didn't understand how violent that event was, i saw it, i documented it and i experienced it. inside the hearing, those who lost loved ones wept. the word illegal was used many times in the hearing. the panel is ultimately trying to set out this case to prove that
1:05 pm
donald trump's attempt to overturn the election result led directly to the deadly riot. nomia iqbal, bbc news, washington. live now to our correspondent, barbara plett usher, who's at capitol hill. this is the first of six congressional hearings. what more do you think we can expect? the committee — you think we can expect? the committee framed _ you think we can expect? tie: committee framed their findings as having found a methodical conspiracy from mr trump having found a methodical conspiracy from mrtrump to having found a methodical conspiracy from mr trump to remain in power. the republican co—chair, liz cheney, called it a sophisticated seven part plan. that is what we are going to be hearing about. she told americans what to expect. she said the committee would show how mr trump tried to steal the election, that he knew he had lost, because members of his inner circle told him so. we heard from some of them last night. so it was a calculated campaign of lies. they are going to show, she said, how he tried to replace
1:06 pm
adjustment department officials with those that would do his bidding, although that ultimately failed. we will spend quite a bit of time and how he tried to pressure the vice president, mike pence, to overturn the election results, even though thatis the election results, even though that is unconstitutional. and they are going to try to link into the far right extremist groups, because they say that these groups were motivated by his tweets and statements, and came to the capital with a clear plan of attack. all through that, they will keep saying that the threat to democracy is still a real and present danger, hoping that breaks through to the american public. but of course this is a divided nation, and you have a clear counter narrative from the far right fox news channel, which did not dare to hearings and instead presented a different version of events, amplifying mr trump's lies in playing down the evidence. that is going to continue, you will have that sort of pushback from the republicans and mr trump's allies. 0k, thank you very much indeed. the foreign secretary liz truss has raised with her ukrainian counterpart the case of two britons, who've been sentenced to death for fighting against russian forces.
1:07 pm
aiden aslin and shaun pinner were captured while fighting with the ukrainian army and have been tried as merceneries by a court in russian held territory. both men had been living in ukraine at the time of the invasion. the foreign secretary says the death sentences are an egregious breach of the geneva convention. james landale, our diplomatic correspondent, reports. aiden aslin and shaun pinner had served in ukraine's armed forces for several years. they had made the country their home. but now these two britons have been sentenced to death for being mercenaries. if you are watching this, it means that we have surrendered... both men had been defending the city of mariupol. this was mr aslin�*s last video message before they ran out of ammunition and were forced to surrender. the two britons were convicted by a court in russian—held eastern ukraine, a court not recognised internationally. russian state television said the man had a month to appeal. mr aslin�*s former mp said he hoped
1:08 pm
both men could be swapped for russian prisoners. there are prisoner exchanges happening between ukrainian and the russian army. and the ukrainian ambassador told me last night that would give priority to aiden and shaun, in those exchanges. but this, of course, relies on russia playing ball. the foreign secretary, liz truss, discussed the situation on the phone this morning with her ukrainian counterpart, dmytro kuleba. in a tweet afterwards, she said the men were prisoners of war, and the judgment against them was an egregious breach of the geneva conventions. but the foreign office appears reluctant to escalate this into a bilateral dispute with moscow, to avoid fuelling the false claims the men were british mercinaries. what officials both
1:09 pm
here and in ukraine believe is that russia is using the case of mr aslin and mr pinner to put pressure on the uk. these people, they have been accused, they have been prosecuted illegally, without any guarantees of the rule of law. the russians are trying to intimidate the whole world with a different means. ukraine's prosecutor general, iryna venediktova, said the sentencing was phony, a violation of international law. and she has already begun an investigation into what she called this illegal action. for now, the fate of aidan azlan and shaun pinner, and saadoun brahim, from morocco, who was convicted too, remains uncertain. their families are said to be very anxious, and keen to ensure they have access to health services and legal advice. james lansdale, bbc news. the high court has begun hearing an attempt to stop the removal of migrants to rwanda. more than 100 people are due to be removed on a home office flight on tuesday.
1:10 pm
so far, three asylum seekers will not now be put on that flight to rwanda. a bed with a roof over it, but is it safety and sanctuary? this is one of the reception hotels waiting in rwanda's capital kigali for asylum seekers from the uk due to arrive on the flight leaving next tuesday. legally controversial, but a political priority for home secretary priti patel who struck the deal with the country's government to receive asylum seekers that the home office does not want to consider for refuge at home. people like these. migrants crossing the english channel this year. 10,000 since january, double the rate of last year. targeted for removal from the uk because the home office has claimed they have no legal right to seek asylum here. the home office says its rwanda policy targets migrants taking dangerous, unnecessary and illegal journeys to the uk. the rules apply to some but not all reaching the uk through a safe country. rwanda will take responsibility for their asylum claims, although the uk will foot the bills.
1:11 pm
but charities say the entire plan is illegal, and that's why they are today asking judges to stop it. we don't believe that anyone should be being punished for claiming asylum. the uk is a signatory to the refugee convention, the right to claim asylum is a human right. it's a one—way ticket. there is no route back to the uk even if they are then recognised theoretically in rwanda as a refugee. it's a stepping back entirely of our obligation to protect people in need from persecution. the government recognises that the plan is so controversial it was always going to end up before the courts. but the home office says it is lawful, to send people to rwanda, because they should have gained asylum in the eu first. today, a judge heard that the un has such concerns about standards of asylum in the country, it is irrational to send anyone there at all. lawyers for the charities say that the home office is misleading the court, warning that migrants will face
1:12 pm
legal chaos and arbitrary treatment. that is why they want to kill the policy dead. a policy that ministers say is vital for deterring dangerous journeys across the channel. and we canjoin dominic now. let me pick up on this point with the native nations refugee barrister in court. a pretty unusual situation, the un has a barrister in court in london over this policy. that lawyer has told the judge that they have had two meetings with the home office since priti patel announced this policy. in both of those meetings, they said as far as they are concerned, as, effectively, they are concerned, as, effectively, the guardians of international refugee law, the plan is entirely illegal, and they say that is why they cannot endorse what the uk home office is doing. they have two principal concerns within that. one is rwanda's capacity to effectively deal with anybody who is coming from the uk, and a second is that they say there is evidence that some
1:13 pm
asylum seekers in rwanda have then been transferred to countries where they have been subject to persecution, and perhaps torture and other awful circumstances. that is why this case matter so much. what we think it's going to happen is possibly a decision today on whether or not to injunctive and stop the flights, but that there will be a fundamentally longer hearing over 6-8 fundamentally longer hearing over 6—8 weeks, if that happens, over whether or not the policy can survive. so there is a lot to fight for here at court.— for here at court. thank you very much indeed. _ covid—i9 infections in the uk have risen for the first time in two months, with the jump likely to have been caused by increases in cases compatible with the original 0micron variant ba.i and the newer variants baa and ba.5. according to the office for national statistics, nearly 950,000 people in private households are estimated to have had the virus last week — that's roughly one in 65 people, compared to one in 70 the week before. a 14—year—old boy has died
1:14 pm
and his mother injured in what's been described as a ferocious stabbing at a manchester home. police warned the public not to approach the suspect following the domestic incident in miles platting. live now to manchester and our reporter there, yunus mulla. yunus, what more can you tell us? what has happened here, greater manchester police say, is nothing short of devastating, with a teenager killed and his mother seriously injured in what is a truly shocking incident. it was around 9.30 last night when emergency services were called here, to an estate in miles platting, in north manchester. they found the boy with stab wounds. he was treated for those stab wounds at his home, his mother was also taken to hospital, but he later died about an hour later. as you can see behind me, there is a lot of police activity, a
1:15 pm
huge police presence. i have seen officers searching nearby fields, knocking on doors, even picking up a drain covers to see what is inside, as a murder investigation has been launched. but what they are stressing at this stage is that this is a domestic incident, they believe the attacker, the suspect, was known to the victims. but they are, of course, appealing for information from the wider public and residents as well. they say the suspect is asian, in his mid—40s, was seen wearing dark clothing, of a medium build. i spoke to a number of residents and they say this is truly heartbreaking and upsetting, what has happened here. the police say they are working at what they called a tremendous pace to trace the suspect and to bring him into custody, so they can piece together what has happened here. tqm. custody, so they can piece together what has happened here. 0k, thank ou ve what has happened here. 0k, thank you very much- _ the time is 1:15. our top story this lunchtime...
1:16 pm
the storming of the heart of the us government last year — a congressional inquiry accuses donald trump of trying to mount a coup after losing the election. coming up... doctors warn that women who buy home testing kits for the menopause could be wasting their money. coming up on the bbc news channel... the fallout continues from the breakaway saudi—backed golf series threatening to tear apart men's golf, as the pga suspends 17 players from competing on its tour. a 17th century shipwreck has been uncovered off the norfolk coast, and it's being described as the most important maritime discovery since the raising of the mary rose. the gloucester sank in 1682 while carrying the future king of england, james stuart. he survived, but hundreds of crew and passengers died. but the ships whereabouts were unknown until a team of divers unearthed it following a four—year search. jo black is in great yarmouth.
1:17 pm
ben, yes, good afternoon from great yarmouth where the sun is shining is and families are out here on the beach. it is amazing to think that 30 miles out there this shipwreck lies, underthe 30 miles out there this shipwreck lies, under the sea. 30 miles out there this shipwreck lies, underthe sea. it 30 miles out there this shipwreck lies, under the sea. it is amazing to think about the two brothers who discovered it. they are printers by trade but also they are licensed divers and they were inspired by the racing of the mary rose. they wanted to look for the gloucester and just when they thought they wouldn't find her, they did. when they thought they wouldn't find her, they did. beneath the surface, 30 miles off the yarmouth coast lies the gloucester. a 17th century warship which came to a tragic end. it sank 340 years ago, after hitting the sand bank. 0nboard was the future king of england, james stuart, duke of york. he survived, but others did not. it is estimated between 130 and 250 people died that morning in may.
1:18 pm
since 1683, the vessel remained half buried on the sea bed, and its exact location was unknown. now we know that it's been discovered, it has caused much excitement, with some saying that this is the most important maritime find since the mary rose. and these are the two brothers who located the royal ship. julian and lincoln barnwell are norfolk based printers, but they're also professional divers, and after years of looking for second world war wrecks, they wanted a new challenge. would you believe there's 40,000 wrecks around the whole of the uk, and there's a lot off norfolk. we've done lots of those, great adventure, but there was always what's next, what's next? a peek through lincoln's encyclopedia of shipwrecks set them on the trail for the gloucester.
1:19 pm
and after a four year search, over 5,000 nautical miles, they finally found her. i could see a dark shadow on the sea bed, so you know, you're on some wreck, which is really fantastic, obviously, and before you knew it, another five metres or so, i was kneeling on the sea bed and surrounded byjust fantastically huge canon, and there was more than one, a group of them, and i knelt there, took the moment in, probably five minutes — just, just unbelievable. just one i will never forget. you popped up, and normally you take all your kit off, because it is really heavy. he was so pumped with adrenaline, he just climbed up our stainless steel ladders, hand extended, and he said "we've found her." i fell over, didn't i? you did. then he fell over. and they have recovered many fascinating artefacts — pipes still full of tobacco, spectacles with spare lenses and bottles, some of them with wine still inside. and there is also the ship's bell.
1:20 pm
many will want to see the gloucester raised, but whether that is possible is still to be determined, with much more historical scientific and archaeological work to do. jo black, bbc news. of course that is the question everybody is asking, whether that ship can actually come above the surface, there is going to be an exhibition about this story in the sprij next year, it is hoped there will be a permanent exhibition here in great yarmouth but whether or not that will include the ship itself, of course, we stilt don't know and we may not know for many years. 0k, jo, thank you very much. a government report in france has blamed what it called a chain of "failures" by french authorities for the chaotic scenes at the champions league final almost two weeks ago. it said events at the stade de france in paris — where riot police fired tear gas at waiting liverpool fans — had raised questions from outside france about the country's ability to host major sporting events.
1:21 pm
live now to paris and our correspondent, hugh schofield, it sound like quite a damning report this it it sound like quite a damning report thi , , �* , this it is, it is indeed. it's a serious _ this it is, it is indeed. it's a serious report _ this it is, it is indeed. it's a serious report reflecting i serious report reflecting the seriousness with which the government knows this has to be tackled, we have big vents coming up neck year, the yore after the olympics and unless the failings which were clearly highlighted at the champions league are addressed, then there are indeed question mark, then there are indeed question mark, theissue then there are indeed question mark, the issue of ticket sales and false ticket sales is at the heart of this but it is not highlighted by this report. it says the mass arrival of ticketless fans was the root cause, the triger of the problem but it identified many other problems on the french side, particularly in crowd manage ment, which, aggravated the situation and made it such that in the end the police had no choice but to let that barrier down, letting the crowds, which included
1:22 pm
so many of the delinquents which caused problems later on, a complete lack of co—ordination between the underground managers, the train system, and the command system in the stade de france, which, the ratp, the train managers knew all the liverpool fans were being pushed on to one of train lines and off the other one but they weren't prepared for that at the stade de france. as a result they had a huge arrival of tens of thousands of people, 15,000 at one point at this tunnel, leading up at one point at this tunnel, leading up to the stadium and the officials there completely unable to cope with this mass arrival. so a lot of thingses to be looked at here. thank ou. police in brazil are examining blood found in the search for british journalist dom phillips and local indigenous expert bruno pereira. traces of blood found on a boat belonging to a fisherman, who has been arrested, will be tested to see whether it is human or animal.
1:23 pm
the pair went missing while travelling by boat on a reporting trip in the amazon rainforest on sunday. doctors are warning that women who buy home testing kits for the menopause could be wasting their money. the british menopause society says that results from the tests — which cost about £10 — can cause anxiety and confusion. manufacturers say the kits should never replace medical advice. michelle roberts has this report. lots of high street chemists now sell menopause self—testing kits like these. you can buy them without a prescription for around £10. the tests look for a hormone called fsh in urine, and give a result within minutes. but top uk doctors are advising women not to use them. while the tests are good at measuring fsh, which helps manage the menstrual cycle, they cannot reliably predict
1:24 pm
whether a woman will soon stop ovulating and having periods. that's because fsh levels can vary greatly day—to—day or month—to—month. high fsh can also mean a woman is fertile and about to release an egg. and a negative test does not rule out menopause. the tests could cause anxiety and confusion and might even contribute to unplanned pregnancies. the testing is not a useful diagnostic test, because in perimenopause, hormones fluctuate very significantly, like a roller—coaster. so a woman might be having irregular periods, she might have a high fsh one day when she does a test, she may then flip back into a fertile phase, and actually release an egg and ovulate. she could potentially get pregnant in the perimenopause thinking she can't. this happens to 0livia. i was 47 and i started getting really bad hot flushes, insomnia, terrible anxiety. i never believed i would be able to fall pregnant, but i did. the british menopause society
1:25 pm
and the royal college of obstetricians and gynaecologists says women should not use the tests. nhs guidelines also discourage fsh testing for women who are 45 and older and experiencing menopausal symptoms. manufacturers of tests like these contacted by the bbc say they were an indicator, but not diagnostic, or meant to replace medical advice. users should still speak with their doctor. experts advise that if you are concerned about the menopause and are experiencing troubling symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats and low mood, see your gp. treatments can help. michelle roberts, bbc news. it is finally the end of the road for neighbours it's been one of australia's most popular exports. but it's the end of the road for neighbours — the iconic tv soap telling
