hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. the second hearing begins into the january 6th capitol hill attacks — and former president trump's false claim that the election was stolen. we hear testimony from a donald trump as my own team. i did trump as my own team. i did not auree trump as my own team. i did not agree with _ trump as my own team. i did not agree with the — trump as my own team. i did not agree with the idea of— trump as my own team. i did not agree with the idea of seeing - agree with the idea of seeing the elections, putting the idea about them, i told elections, putting the idea about them, itold him it was... and you know, i did not want to be a part of it. the uk government publishes plans to get rid of parts of the eu—brexit deal it signed on northern ireland with the eu. the uk government has published plans to get rid of parts of the post—brexit deal it signed

with the eu in 2020. it wants to change the northern ireland protocol to make it easierfor some goods to flow from great britain to northern ireland. it is as disgraceful, it does nothing to serve the interests of people here, it flies in the face of international given that he himself negotiated. we'll have the latest on that from our correspondent in washington. russia has aged bridges in a avoidance, warning that it is now official —— impossible to leave the city. ukrainian troops must now surrender and or die. that is according to the russian forces. a us congressional hearing into the storming of the capitol last year has revealed new information mr trump's efforts to overturn the election result. on the second day of hearings, the panel focused on donald trump's unfounded accusations that the election was rigged — and claims that he knew these claims were false. let's hear from the committee chair.

we will tell how trump lost an election, he knew he lost an election and, as a result of his loss, decided to wage an attack on our democracy. an attack on american people, by trying to rob you of your voice in our democracy. and in doing so, lit the fuse that led to the horrific violence of 6th january, when a mob of his supporters stormed the capitol, sent by donald trump, to stop the transfer of power. the hearing was told that donald trump repeatedly ignored pleas from his own team to stop making claims of voter fraud. here's republican and trump critic, liz cheney. the president's campaign advisers urged him to await the counting of votes and not to declare victory on election night. donald trump knew before the election that the counting of those mail—in ballots in several states would not begin until late in the day and would not be complete for multiple days. mr trump's former campaign manager

was meant to be today's key witness, but he hasn't been able to attend because his wife went into labour. in a pre—recorded interview, bill stepien said he tried to convince mr trump not to declare victory prematurely. it was far too early to be making any calls like that. ballots. . . ballots were still being counted, ballots were still being counted for days and it was far too early to be making any proclamation like that. most republicans in congress refused to take part in the committee so the hearings were dominated by critics of the former president. representative zoe lofgren — a democrat — said the trump campaign used the false claims of election fraud to raise money from supporters. we will also show that the trump campaign used these false claims of election fraud to raise hundreds of millions of dollars from supporters who were told their donations were for the legal fight in the courts,

but the trump campaign it did not use the money for that, ——trump campaign, the big lie was also a big rip—off. the former attorney general, william barr, said he thought he'd be fired for telling the press there was no evidence of widespread election fraud. idid not i did not agree with the idea of it saying the election was installing and putting out this stuff which i told the president was bleep. i did not want to be a part of it. nominated by the slide from washington. what other comments they are saying now compared with at the time? , , ., ., , , ., time? yes is one of the big question is because at — time? yes is one of the big question is because at the _ time? yes is one of the big question is because at the time, _ time? yes is one of the big question is because at the time, they - time? yes is one of the big question is because at the time, they were i is because at the time, they were very... —— rectory. when he falsely claimed that the election was overturned, but we are now hearing

moving ireland as well. north—south, in the island of ireland as well. not everyone agrees that it is not a big deal. let's take a closer look at what the protocol entails. it allows lorries to cross the borderfrom northern ireland into the republic of ireland without having to stop to have their goods checked. before brexit, it was easy to operate an open border there because the uk was in the eu — and so in the eu's single market. as was the republic of ireland. post—brexit, a new arrangement was needed — because the uk would be outside the single market — and good moving in and out of it require checks. because of northern ireland's violent past — neither the uk nor the eu wanted checks on the land border between northern ireland and the irish republic in the eu. so the uk agreed to northern ireland staying aligned to the eu's single market on goods, and thus

removing the ned for checks on some good moving into northern ireland from the rest of the uk. this was deeply unpopular with unionist politicians who want northern ireland to be part of the uk — and so don't want any barriers between northern ireland and the rest of the uk. in fact, the biggest unionist party, the dup, is now blocking the formation of a new northern irish government in protest over it. here's one of its mps. the protocol is the kind of poison in the system. we have a forced coalition in northern ireland and that enforced coalition only works if, on major issues, there is a consent from both the unionist population and the nationalist population. there is no consent for the protocol from the unionist population, so therefore, in effect, we have a dysfunctional assembly anyway and the message we have been getting to the government is look before the assembly can ever be set up, the poison needs to be withdrawn from the system. the government says that the amendments it's proposing

will make it easier to move goods between great britain and northern ireland. this is called a green lane. good heading into the eu across the irish border, they would face red lane checks. this is foreign secretary liz truss. there are very real problems that we are facing in northern ireland, first of all, on trade, we are seeing a trade diverted from east—west and north—south, the people of northern ireland are not able to benefit from the same tax benefits as people in great britain, and that is causing a feeling of inequality between the different communities of northern ireland and what is so important is we restore the belfast good friday agreement, we restore power—sharing in northern ireland, and that is the priority of the uk government. you heard liz truss mention the good friday agreement — its central to all this. northern ireland was created in 1921. it remained part of the uk.

that was when the republic of ireland became an independent state. that created a split between the unionists and the nationalists. it led to scenes like this. armed groups from both sides carried out bombings and shootings. that period is known as the troubles, it started in 1968 and lasted 30 years. over 3,000 people died. and then, after decades of violence — we had this moment in 1998. the signing of the good friday agreement. it brought peace, created a devolved administration of northern ireland, where the largest parties which might largest parties would govern together. as we have been hearing, the power—sharing approach is under pressure, in part, the unionist side because of the protocol. from the eu side, changing the protocol is not the answer here. there is no bow sides on this. i'm a solicitor, and the legal position is clear, and in relation to the legal position, it stands and it maintains, the protocol refers and sits on the good friday agreement, so idea that one side is on the critical, that the good friday

agreement can take it upon itself to make changes or suggest there is a problem, is wrong and that is not sustainable. 50 problem, is wrong and that is not sustainable.— sustainable. so good as ever to seak sustainable. so good as ever to speak t0- _ sustainable. so good as ever to speak t0- the _ sustainable. so good as ever to speak to. the ball _ sustainable. so good as ever to speak to. the ball is _ sustainable. so good as ever to speak to. the ball is in - sustainable. so good as ever to speak to. the ball is in the - speak to. the ball is in the european union's court. i wonder how it will play the latest proposed legislation? we it will play the latest proposed legislation?— it will play the latest proposed leaislation? ~ . . ., , ., legislation? we have already heard from the eu's _ legislation? we have already heard from the eu's chief— legislation? we have already heard from the eu's chief negotiator, - legislation? we have already heard from the eu's chief negotiator, and it was a double pronged message, maros sefcovic first of all wanted to remind everybody that the northern ireland protocol as it stands, this text, was actually a result of years of painstaking work between eu and uk negotiators, in an attempt to safeguard peace and stability on the island of ireland, after brexit, no small thing, while safeguarding northern ireland's role inside the united kingdom and safeguarding the european single market, so in no small feat at all. he said this was the best compromise

solution, he said there is no room here for unilateral action. he also pointed out that the european union and this goes against what we have been hearing from the uk government, is flexible, and he says, that he is open to trying to find creative solutions for practical problems that have arisen from the protocol for the people in northern ireland. for example, that sort of burdensome customs paperwork, it is notjust lots of it, it is also expensive for small and medium businesses. there are more proposals were more flexible it is for the eu, and once the uk says it will come back to the negotiating table and listen but in the meantime, it says it is no small thing that the government is proposing here to unilaterally override large parts of the northern ireland protocol. the eu wants to send a clear message to the uk and it is looking at, later this week, restarting legal proceedings against the uk for infringement, in the eu's eyes, of

what the uk has not yet carried out, until the protocol, such as carrying out certain checks. of course, the eu cannot take legal action on what we have read in this proposed legislation because it is not yet in law, so it wants to send this message legally with this legal proceeding which will take a very long time, and while at the same time saying to the uk that we cannot negotiate, we cannot find a solution together for the people of northern ireland and in fact, when you do look at proposals, like the cast of proposals, to have a faster green lane and a red line, or whatever, there is convergence, very clearly, with the european commission on certain key issues, it is just the mood music is not good at all. and mood music is not good at all. and as ou mood music is not good at all. and as you will — mood music is not good at all. and as you will know, _ mood music is not good at all. and as you will know, there was an important political moment in the northern islands recently where sinn fein, the nationalist party, became the single biggest party. to what degree has that influenced the eu's thinking? as to what degree has the eu talks to sinn fein? it thinking? as to what degree has the eu talks to sinn fein?_

eu talks to sinn fein? it has not chanced eu talks to sinn fein? it has not changed the _ eu talks to sinn fein? it has not changed the eu's _ eu talks to sinn fein? it has not changed the eu's thinking - eu talks to sinn fein? it has not changed the eu's thinking on . eu talks to sinn fein? it has not changed the eu's thinking on as| eu talks to sinn fein? it has not - changed the eu's thinking on as much as the eu says it is sticking to the protocol and that is agrees, with the united kingdom, with boris johnson, back in 2020, so that has not changed, but what it can say now, after those elections, it can say, to the uk government, ok, there are teething problems with the protocol, but if you have a look at the elections, to the northern ireland assembly, the majority of seats are now held by parties that want to keep the protocol, so that is something that the eu can say. that is what it does repeatedly and fully speak to eu diplomats, they say, that broadly speaking what they hear from say, that broadly speaking what they hearfrom northern ireland businesses is that yes, they need some changes but they do not want to get rid of the protocol altogether. they do think in the large, that is not everybody, then it can work for them on a day—to—day basis, and there is a suspicion inside the eu from diplomats, they speak to, from different eu countries, that boris johnson is using this row in order to try and shore up support in his

own party around his own leadership, don't forget, he stood for a no—confidence vote, just one week ago. that was in his own party. there is a frustration inside the eu that once again, uk domestic politics isn't coming into play here, in an international agreement and again, no appetite at all amongst eu leaders however to have a full—blown trade war with the uk, they have their hands more than a full with their own cost of living crises at the moment as well as the war in ukraine and the eu said this evening that it is a war that demands and where the eu wants to work together with the uk on command not be divided over this protocol issue. . ~' , ., not be divided over this protocol issue. ., ~ i. ., not be divided over this protocol issue. ., ~' i., ., i. not be divided over this protocol issue. ., ~ ., ., ~ issue. thank you for your time. talk to ou issue. thank you for your time. talk to you soon- — issue. thank you for your time. talk to you soon. straight _ issue. thank you for your time. talk to you soon. straight from - issue. thank you for your time. talk to you soon. straight from cassio, l to you soon. straight from cassio, we have nomia iqbal. we are talking at these hearings around january to six, the storming of the capitol, it

william barr, and that he was demoralised by saying that trump had said the election was stolen, and that that was one of the reasons that that was one of the reasons that barr resigned. we also had from the campaign manager, mr steffi and was supposed to give a live testimony, but he could not because his wife is giving birth. —— mr stepien. we had pre—recorded evidence in which he refers to how he was happy to be part of team normal, which gives you an idea as to how there was a split, in the trump side, that there were those constantly saying to him that the election was not stolen from him. —— was stolen from him. one mentioned that trump was massively influenced ijy that trump was massively influenced by rudy giuliani, who mentioned that he was intoxicated, when he was told to say that the election was stolen from him. the committee is trying to show that... that the rights that happened on the —— riots happened on

post, there slow but relentless push to trying to take this city. but it seems they're trying to do is not just pin down the ukrainian forces there, using street fighting techniques, but also heavy artillery to pin them in place, but then also to pin them in place, but then also to try and cut them off because this pocket of ukrainian forces, a couple of thousands of soldiers, also, we understand, are the other side of this river, that runs through the donbas, and so if the russians can encircle them there, we could see another siege of ukrainian forces may be... from the russian point of view, the russians hope they can force them to surrender, just as they did in mariupol. also today — we've heard more about russian attacks in ukraine's second biggest city, kharkiv — in the north east. it's been a front line throughout this war. a new amnesty international report says "hundreds of civilians have been killed there by indiscriminate russian shelling". amnesty has more evidence of russia using widely banned weapons. one of the report's

authors told the bbc more. we visited and investigated the sites of 41 different strikes, seven of those work with the scat upon minds and they are banned internationally. the rest are with different types of rockets and guided artillery. which should never be used in residential areas, areas where there are civilians. —— scatterbomb. they are battlefield weapons, they cannot be pinpointed at a specific building and they are notoriously and inherently inaccurate. and to give you an example of the damage these weapons cause take a look at these pictures from a nothern suburb of kharkiv, and to give you an example of the damage these weapons cause take a look at these pictures from a nothern suburb of kharkiv, a residential area. this area was one of the focuses of amnesty�*s report. the bbc has also seen evidence of cluster bombs being used. our correspondent

wyre davies is in kharkiv. this demonstrates the indiscriminate destruction that cluster munitions can bring. a large shell explodes, casting off dozens of smaller bomblets, as they then explodes, —— is the explode over a certain area, they shower people and buildings with thousands of pieces of shrapnel. in this case, kharkiv�*s children's hospital. some of those struck down by cluster munitions and russian shells are now recovering in city hospitals. there was a hole in my leg the size of a fist, says rehman, who tells me how he fell to the ground, convinced he was going to die, as several other cluster bombs exploded around him. wyre also spoke to a resident of kharkiv about what those attacks are like. translation: it was horrible, horrible. when _ translation: it was horrible, horrible. when the _ translation: it was horrible, horrible. when the russians i translation: it was horrible, i horrible. when the russians were firing, you would get thrown into the air from your chair. firing, you would get thrown into the airfrom your chair. it is hard

to describe but that is what it was like. (sting) now to an investigation from bbc africa eye — in malawi, the exportation of children for chinese social media. this comes after an investigation for bbc africa i which reveals how children in africa are being used to make personalised videos which sometimes include racist content. bbc africa eye tracked down one prolific chinese video producer who has used very young children from rural malawi to make and sell thousands of videos. runako celina has this report and just a warning, you may find parts of it offensive. "happy birthday." "good luck in your exams." "congrats on your wedding." in china, over the past few years, it's become a thing to send personalised greeting videos via social media and messaging apps. videos featuring africans, including children, have become especially popular.

these videos sell for up to usd$70 each. the content can be innocent enough, but some of them are controversial, and in early 2020, one video shared on chinese social media was particularly shocking. the word the children are using could be translated as �*black monster�* or �*black devil�* but really, it's the chinese equivalent of the n—word. the video sparked worldwide debate about anti—black racism in china. today, what i found on the internet was so disgusting. but no—one was held accountable. with africa eye, i set out to find out where it was filmed and who made it. my colleagues and i examined hundreds of videos, cross—referencing them against satellite imagery from google earth. eventually, we managed

to pinpoint the exact location where many of them were filmed — a village in malawi. i teamed up with henry mhango, an investigative reporter there, and he managed to find some children who recognised themselves in the low io video. that's you? we met their families and told them how much money people had made from filming their children. translation: profiting from the poor. - it's very painful because if somebody is poor, you should just leave them alone. translation: we struggle - to raise our children and somebody comes and uses them as a business. it's hurtful. the children, and several other people we spoke to, all mentioned one film—maker called susu, which sounds like the chinese word for �*uncle'. we found out his real name — lu ke. after gathering more evidence, we sent an undercover

journalist to meet him. he showed him the low io video. he said, "this was mine". he said, "this was mine."! this racist video? hold on, hold on. he says — and then he says, "no, no, no. "this is not me — this was my friend." it looks as though he let a secret slip. he says it so excitedly and then suddenly, he reverses and says, "no, no, no — this was a friend who took it." it was time to speak to lu ke ourselves. ni hao, ni hao. i asked him, in chinese, why he had made the video. translation: because i want just want to spread _ the chinese culture — music, dance, and chinese words, chinese language, you know? the words and singing chinese songs. i pushed him further,

saying this was exploitation. have you finished? i did not exploit them. ok, basically he's admitted some things — he's admitted to having opinions that were not very kind about black people and about malawian people. yes. but he says this was five years ago and he's denied everything that we have seen in the video. he also denies making the video that we believe he made, so itjust feels like this isn't productive any more. our investigation found this isn'tjust one video — it's part of a massive industry, and there are many other children across the continent being exploited for the profit and entertainment of people far, far away. runako celina, bbc news. the malawi police service has responded to that report — saying it has launched an investigation into the claims. you can find all the coverage of the stories that we are bringing you

are more persistent rain into western coasts and across the hills, and they will peg back as daytime temperatures to stop overnight, a mixture of clay spells and patchy cloud away from the north—west of scotland, and lows of 9—12 . this is how we like in terms of a pressure chart, high pressure to the south of the uk for tuesday, with fronts trying to sneak in to the north—west, and for much of the uk, tuesday promises to be a dry day. if anything, more sunshine to come across england and wales, and we will still see some clouds drifting across northern ireland and from a western songs, some further outbreaks of rain. gales to the far north of scotland, just ia in stornoway, but temperatures already starting to creep up as we look further south, at 2a in london on tuesday afternoon. very high pollen levels across england and wales, thanks to the light sunshine, and the cloud and rain for scotland, but much lower to come to us. as she

suffers. once the's picture, not much changes, some cloud across england and wales, is still some rain for western scholars, still only ia in stornoway but the temperatures are beginning to creep up temperatures are beginning to creep up further south. now 27 in london on wednesday. into thursday, and friday, this is the change that eventually brings in at that really warm air, however, low pressure gets close to the north—west of the uk, we pick up a more direct and southerly airstream. that surge for those temperatures, at the end of the week, 31, maybe even 32. the thunderstorms that make the thunderstorms that make the thunderstorms should clear away the heat for those not a big fan of it.

they went missing in the amazon rainforest a week ago. and today there are conflicting reports as to whether the bodies have been found. our south america correspondent, katy watson, is in the region. a well—known journalist said he had spoken to his wife who confirmed they had found the bodies of the two main and the police said that wasn't true, that what had been found with organic material that could be human and that is being analysed here in the capital of the state. then the indigenous community in the region said the bodies had not been found and we spoke to the federal police a short time ago. they said there had been a misunderstanding but what a misunderstanding. tam been a misunderstanding but what a misunderstanding.— been a misunderstanding but what a misunderstanding. tom phillips bruno went missing — misunderstanding. tom phillips bruno went missing in _ misunderstanding. tom phillips bruno went missing in the _ misunderstanding. tom phillips bruno went missing in the amazon. - misunderstanding. tom phillips bruno went missing in the amazon. it i misunderstanding. tom phillips bruno went missing in the amazon. it is i misunderstanding. tom phillips bruno went missing in the amazon. it is a i went missing in the amazon. it is a large area near the border with peru, which means that search for

both men had been difficult. indigenous rights group said they had been travelling by boat for an interview. we also know both of them received threats. dom's sister told the bbc what she thinks may have happened. i think it is likely they have been ambushed by some legal criminal activity there, possibly to do with illegal fishing, or it could be... obviously, we have to wait and see what the criminal investigation brings up. do you fear the worst? this i am afraid i do, yeah. i am afraid, every day the news is... more and more is revealed. we also heard from brazil's presidentjair bolsonaro. translation: because of that - timeframe, it has been eight days, going towards the ninth day since all this happened, it will be very difficult to find them alive.

i pray to god that this happens and that we can find them alive, but the indications lead to the contrary at the moment. and jair bolsonaro's government has been criticised for not acting fast enough to try to find both men. this is in brazil's capital rio dejaneiro — where the family and friends of dom phillips and bruno pereira have been demanding the authorities do more to find them. let's hear from some of them. we are here to pay a tribute to dom and bruno. they were passionate about the amazon and we want them to be found, dead or alive. they disappeared, and they should be protected by the government. that is why i believe it was not an accident. more on that a story on the bbc news website and after.— website and after. bitcoin has crashed again. _ website and after. bitcoin has crashed again. we will talk i

in bridesmaids and pitch perfect, announced to her instagram followers that she had found her "disney princess". this did not impress the columnist for the sydney morning herald, who complained that rebel had gazumped the story. he went on to say that her choice to ignore their inquiries and in the process spoiled the herald's scoop was underwhelming. the papers reporting sparked a fierce online backlash and a heated response from lgbtq+ campaigners, who say it's unacceptable to put pressure on people to come out. and then there was this reaction from the star, describing it as a very hard situation and thanking followers for their comments. a stonewall spokesperson said coming out is a deeply personal decision — whether, when and how to come out should be decided by the individual, entirely on their terms.

residents will be tested over the next few days and the two tower blocks are under strict lockdown. this latest outbreak is just another challenge to the zero covid policy and for the moment the authority to very much sticking with that policy. if we chose to lay down now our efforts will come to nothing. we unswervingly insist on zero covid. the policy aims to stop the virus spreading it is detected. in china, that includes mass test and trace, strict isolation rules, people who catch it can face hospital and there are repeated extended lockdown is. for examle, people who catch covid face quarantine or hospital, and extended lockdowns. shanghai lifted a two—month lockdown onjune 1, but briefly shut down most of the city again on saturday

for mass testing. china is one of the only countries with a zero covid policy. virologist chris smith explains why. unfortunately, though, with their own chiefly home—grown vaccines, sinopharm and sinovac, which studies have shown are not as effective as their counterparts used in a more western countries. as a result of that, they have a weaker immune response in the population and they have had a poor uptake. the evidence we have seen is that maybe a0% of the elderly people in many countries, in many cities in china are not vaccinated. a chinese study claims that lifting zero—covid policies would cause ed a "tsunami" of up to 112 million cases, five million hospitalisations, and nearly 1.6 million deaths. our china correspondent stephen mcdonell has more. the system is really straining at the edges and yet the government is pushing ahead. there are little indications of it tweaking. for

example, i am indications of it tweaking. for example, iam now indications of it tweaking. for example, i am now doing two weeks in the quarantine. a a few weeks ago, it was three weeks. that is a very small reduction. the hope is that next year if vaccines had been rolled out to many more people, especially booster shots to the elderly, and that the party congress is out of the way, there might be some sort of shift taking place. but some sort of shift taking place. but some people here are up their view that the party won't give up on this. that they have nailed their colours to the mast. it is really hard to roll it back right now. they need an explanation as to why up until now they have stuck with this zero covid approach. how do you get out of it? i think the chinese government is finding itself in an increasingly difficult situation because omicron is so easy to spread and everybody here is living in a sort of constant concern. if they go

to the shops to do your groceries, someone has been there the day before, they have tested positive, you have to spend the next seven days at home or worse at eight centralised isolation facility. and many people are wondering how much longer china can sustain this, really. longer china can sustain this, reall . ~ longer china can sustain this, reall . 9 , , :, , really. we bring you the bigger stories from _ really. we bring you the bigger stories from around _ really. we bring you the bigger stories from around the - really. we bring you the bigger stories from around the world. | demonstrations across the country began after a spokesperson for the ruling party made offensive comments about the prophet muhammad. politicians and lawyers in india have raised concerns about the legality of the demolitions. a warning, this report contains distressing images.

as homes of muslim families are razed to the ground, they ask if their basic rights are also being bulldozed. this student activist lived here with her family. now in hiding, she recorded this eight day before the demolition. police presence is increasing around my house. and there is the presence of bulldozers and jcbs across the town. and this is notjust about my house and my family, it is happening to a lot of houses, a lot of muslim houses, a lot of muslim activists, such as my father, are being harassed, intimidated. authorities in the north indian state of uttar pradesh accuse her father of masterminding violent during recent protests, something he denies. thousands have taken to the streets in largely peaceful demonstrations

after a spokesperson for the ruling party made inflammatory remarks about islam. they tried to evict us from our house. herfamily, including hersister, were rounded up by police. the demolition of our house was being broadcast live on television. our destroyed belongings were being displayed in front of the world. i can't describe how it felt. in this town, more destruction. the homes of muslim men accused of throwing stones at a protest also bulldozed. officials say they are targeting illegally constructed properties. lawyers say, without proper process, it is illegal. how concerned are you that this is happening right now? this is not at all legal.

ultimately, we are living where the rule of law prevails. nowjust by having the assistance of bulldozers, just giving a notice of 2a—hours, it is highly unjust. it is totally against our system. the price of bitcoin has crashed again. it is notoriously volatile so it won't come as a huge surprise, but even by those standards the last few weeks have been sobering. cryptocurrencies are notoriously volatile so investors have come to expect big rises and big falls but recent weeks have pushed its value sharply lower. the cryptocurrency fell 12 % over the course of monday. bitcoin started the year not far off $50,000. it took a big dip in may

when another cryptocurrency terra luna collapsed. after today's falls, its value has now halved, since the start of the year. the latest falls were driven by a cryptocurrency platform — celsius network — announcing it was pausing all withdrawals and transfers between accounts — blaming what it called "extreme market conditions". 1.7 million customers are having that problem today. gina pieters is a lecturer at the department of economics, university of chicago. thank you for your time. let's start with celsius. what are these extreme market conditions that have caused it to temporarily shut down? celsius is one of the — it to temporarily shut down? celsius is one of the lending _ it to temporarily shut down? celsius is one of the lending networks i it to temporarily shut down? celsius is one of the lending networks so i it to temporarily shut down? celsius is one of the lending networks so it| is one of the lending networks so it is one of the lending networks so it is probably referring to the fall in the price of bitcoin that we have seen continue. its price tends to go down as well which leads to problems in the lending market which tends to

produce girls overnight tonight and more persistent rain into western coast and across the hills and they will peg back those daytime temperatures. overnight, a mixture of clear spells and patchy cloud away from the north west of scotland and low of nine to 12 degrees. the pressure chart, on tuesday weather fronts are trying to sneak into the north—west. how much of the uk, a dry day. more sunshine to come. still some cloud drifting across northern ireland and western scotland some outbreaks of rain. nailed to the far north of scotland. just 1a, but temperatures already creeping up, 2a in london on tuesday afternoon. very high pollen levels across england and wales thanks to the light winds and sunshine with cloud and rain for scotland much lower and more comfortable for

allergy sufferers. wednesday, not much changes. more cloud across england and wales, rain in western scotland, 1a in stornoway but temperatures are creeping up for the south. 27 in london on wednesday. wednesday into thursday and friday, this is the change that brings in that really warm air. low pressure get close to that north—west of the uk. we pick up a more direct southerly air stream in that urges those temperatures for the end of the week. perhaps 3132 in some spot so if you are not a fan of the heat that thunderstorm should clear it for on saturday.

this is bbc news. i'm james reynolds. the headlines at 8pm — the government publishes plans to override part of the brexit agreement involving trade rules for northern ireland, insisting it's not breaking international law. we're completely serious about this legislation. it does fix the problems in the northern ireland protocol. it also protects the eu single market. ministers want to make it easierfor some goods to move between britain and northern ireland, but the changes will be without the eu's agreement. no workable alternative solution has been found to this delicate, long—negotiated balance. the court of appeal rules the first flight to take the first flight to take asylum—seekers to rwanda can take off tomorrow. the un's refugee chief condemns the move.
