much was taking place. a passer—by was killed and three who detonated their suicide bests. shortly afterwards different gunmen from the same cell attacked bars and restaurant, killing dozens that the attack could face inside a concert hall where three gunmen opened fire on music fans, killing 90 people. the victims had come to see the american rock band eagles of death metal. they were the deadliest attacks seen in peacetime fans. the trail attracted huge media interest in france. madeline is a journalist based in paris. in france. madeline is a “ournalist based in parish based in paris. this is 'ust an absolutely* based in paris. this is 'ust an absolutely enormous _ based in paris. this isjust an absolutely enormous trial. i based in paris. this isjust an - absolutely enormous trial. there are more than 2000 plaintiffs. hundreds of lawyers. it has been watched by almost everyone in france. the mood is one of great anticipation as he waited to hear what the court will have to say. £1.

wants there to be people punished and there is and the defence is saying don't let these bit players and someone who did not actually kill anyone pay the price for the people who did kill who are all dead. we'll have to see whether the court hears that in the great expectation is there will be guilty verdicts all round. interesting question is whether he gets the right to parole other life sentence without parole. that is what the debate is hinging on. a guilty verdict is expected. to debate is hinging on. a guilty verdict is expected.— debate is hinging on. a guilty verdict is expected. to be getting the insiaht verdict is expected. to be getting the insight into _ verdict is expected. to be getting the insight into the reasons - verdict is expected. to be getting l the insight into the reasons behind the insight into the reasons behind the attack? how the cell was thinking when it organised the attack and what it wanted to do? well, up to a point, without delving into the psychology of those who took part we know what was happening. these were the main

people from high immigrant suburbs of brussels who had contacts in relatives and friends in syria and were fighting with islamic state in other groups out there. he decided under the influence of key figures in syria and iraq, some act of vengeance needed to be taken against the french people because of french participation in strikes against islamic state and this was conceiving him out of the trial. it was conceived out there and it was a question of extricating them back to brussels and to carry out these attacks and that was all explained. the psychological effects of how they came to fall islamism communicated most of them, they had pretty ordinary lives, often to pitch criminals living in fairly normal existence in paris, maybe

that never can be explained. it's a very personal story in every case. 0k, as always, thank you very much. from paris to madrid, here —— now let's go to madrid — where the leaders of countries in the nato military alliance have been gathering for a summit. the two key things today — nato has formally invited two new members — sweden and finland — tojoin the alliance. and they discussed ways to support ukraine. we'll look at both in a moment. first, let's hearfrom the head of nato speaking about how russia's invasion has changed the alliance. nato leaders have just taken decisions to transform and strengthen our lines at this pivotal time for our security. president putin's war against ukraine has shattered peace in europe and has created the biggest security crisis in europe since the second world war. nato has responded

with strength and unity. what's been clear at this summit is russia'sinvasion has given nato a renewed sense of purpose. a quick reminder as to what it is. nato stands for the north atlantic treaty organisation — a defensive military alliance. it was formed in 19119 to counter russian expansion in europe. and a key part of nato is what's called article five: that members agree to help one another if they come under armed attack. and we heard president biden emphasise that commitment today. he also announced that the us is sending more land, sea and air forces to europe. let's hearfrom him. we are going to approve a new nato strategic concept and reaffirm the unity and determination of our alliance to defend every inch of nato territory. and article five is sacrosanct, and we need it when we say an attack against one is an attack

against all, every inch. what's important here is that nato has grown — particularly into eastern europe, as former soviet union countries joined. russia says it views this expansion as a threat. and this is what it will look like with finland and sweden's membership. nato's border with russia will double after finland joins. russia has called the newest expansion "purely destabilising." whereas the british prime minister, borisjohnson, had this to say. vladimir putin was hoping that he would be getting less nato on his western friend as a result of his unprovoked illegal invasion of ukraine. he's been proved completely wrong, and he is getting more nato. this is a historic summit in many ways, but we've already got two new members coming in, finland and sweden. sweden and turkeyjoining nato is significant in other ways too. the bbc has described it as a "a monumental shift for two

nations with a long history of wartime neutrality and staying here is the finnish foreign minister. here is the finnish foreign minister-— here is the finnish foreign minister. . ., , ., , _ ., minister. we are very happy that we could do this — minister. we are very happy that we could do this together, _ minister. we are very happy that we could do this together, because - minister. we are very happy that we could do this together, because onej could do this together, because one of our promises to finland was if anyone crosses us, that it is weakening our security because we have a situation that finland and sweden has been cooperating on security and defence for a long time, and it would be very unnatural for us to be in different groups in the future. we for us to be in different groups in the future-— for us to be in different groups in the future. . ., ., ., ., the future. we are about to go live to madrid and speech are presented there, but first, let me pay you her interview with the plush president. here he is talking about why the senate has been important for eastern european states like poland. nato is taking crucial decisions on strengthening its eastern flank. taking decisions on changing its approach to russia, let me remind

you that according to the previous strategic concept of nato from 2010, russia was seen as a partner country to nato. i've praised him as a result of the invasion of ukraine, this has changed dramatically. russia has called directly as the biggest threat to nato and its eastern flank. the much poland is located. boosting nato in our part of the world come in our part of europe today is the which is being discussed at length here. here, decisions are being taken. decisions which are reflected both in the new strategic concept of nato, which is being adopted today, but also it is reflected in the joint declaration which says that the countries in special situations which are particularly involved in helping ukraine can also count on

certain special adequate treatment. now we cross live to madrid and speak to kasia. interesting words there. i guess what he was reflecting as a feeling across nato that since the russian invasion, the stands there, the camaraderie that the feeling between countries has really changed. you the feeling between countries has really changed-— the feeling between countries has really changed. you are absolutely sot on. really changed. you are absolutely spot on- at — really changed. you are absolutely spot on- at the — really changed. you are absolutely spot on. at the polish _ really changed. you are absolutely spot on. at the polish president i spot on. at the polish president wanted to be the stress, and he was speaking to me exclusively, just a few minutes and a corridor, it's all very orchestrated here within this summit, so we were able to get a few minutes with the polish presidents, and he absolutely stressed the change of tone, the change of heart when it comes to russia and the nato alliance. white he was talking about there specifically was that back in 2010, the last time that the strategic concept was drawn up, the strategic concept was drawn up, the strategic concept was drawn up, the strategic concept that you described

as the blueprint of what it is to be as the blueprint of what it is to be a part of nato, how it runs, its future direction, while, at that time back in lisbon in 2010, the russian president was invited. it wasn't vladimir putin, it was then president dmitry, but he was at the summit, unthinkable now! absolutely unthinkable. now he is talking about to russia as the greatest threats to the alliance. so this is a complete change of heart, and the president very much stressed back, echoing what we have been hearing throughout this summit. and echoing that, well, russia is now a threat, and the focus is on, of course, allies and the member states supporting ukraine in the war that is taking place, the war that started on the 24th of february, the word that the member states, the allies are trying to support ukraine with. the president

very much emphasising that change of heart that we have been seen across this summit. heart that we have been seen across this summit-— this summit. integrates sweden and finland very — this summit. integrates sweden and finland very much _ this summit. integrates sweden and finland very much in _ this summit. integrates sweden and finland very much in focus _ this summit. integrates sweden and finland very much in focus now, - finland very much in focus now, their membership is going to be happening. how quickly do you think things are going to move from here? even nato itself as said things have moved very quickly so far. weill. even nato itself as said things have moved very quickly so far. well, we wear, moved very quickly so far. well, we wear. when — moved very quickly so far. well, we wear. when you _ moved very quickly so far. well, we wear, when you speak _ moved very quickly so far. well, we wear, when you speak to _ moved very quickly so far. well, we wear, when you speak to analysts l wear, when you speak to analysts before the summit was taking place, they thought that there would be, that the president of poland would change his mind, that there would be of assistance —— consensus eventually that turkey would agree to defend them into sweden joining, but this was announced really, really early on at the start of the senate, so it was very quick. ratification process, of course, has to take place, but nato allies very, very keen to get there and then down to get sweden into the alliance because they've got the kind of military that is very modern,

already really aligned with the kind of structure is that nato has itself, and it's very much the number is as well, if you think about the numbers of reserves that finland can call back on, fall back on as well. think about the border as well, finland joining, on as well. think about the border as well, finlandjoining, buy on as well. think about the border as well, finland joining, buy for as well, finlandjoining, buy for joining nato, as well, finland joining, buy for joining nato, the nato border with russia doubles in size, so hugely significant that these two countries will be joining significant that these two countries will bejoining nato. {lita significant that these two countries will be joining nato._ will be “oining nato. 0k, stay right there. will be joining nato. 0k, stay right there. we will be joining nato. 0k, stay right there- we are _ will be joining nato. 0k, stay right there. we are going _ will be joining nato. 0k, stay right there. we are going to _ will be joining nato. 0k, stay right there. we are going to look- will be joining nato. 0k, stay right there. we are going to look at - there. we are going to look at another of there. we are going to look at anothe ., , , ., another of this summit, nato's resect another of this summit, nato's respect of _ this alliance. they rely in our continued support. and our message to him was equally clear. ukraine can count on us for as long as it takes. find us for as long as it takes. and ukraine's _ us for as long as it takes. and ukraine's president address the senate asking for money and weapons.

term, we will help ukraine transition from soviet era commitments to modern nato equipments. but there are questions of disagreements on how this war should end within nato. the bbc�*s frank gardner is there. the big buzzword at this summit is unity~ _ the big buzzword at this summit is unity~ all_ the big buzzword at this summit is unity. all 30 nato member as i came to present _ unity. all 30 nato member as i came to present a — unity. all 30 nato member as i came to present a united front to show their_ to present a united front to show their support for ukraine and their condemnation of russia's invasion. but privately, there are differences of opinion — but privately, there are differences of opinion. not every country is prepared — of opinion. not every country is prepared to stay the course and see all russian — prepared to stay the course and see all russian forces expelled from all of ukraine — all russian forces expelled from all of ukraine will stop there are others — of ukraine will stop there are others who will be prepared to settle — others who will be prepared to settle for a compromise that sees an inconclusive — settle for a compromise that sees an inconclusive and to this war. let�*s inconclusive and to this war. let's cross back — inconclusive and to this war. let's cross back to _ inconclusive and to this war. let's cross back to kasia _ inconclusive and to this war. let's cross back to kasia who _ inconclusive and to this war. let's cross back to kasia who is - inconclusive and to this war. let's cross back to kasia who is in - cross back to kasia who is in madrid. ukraine pacing nato's clear eyed stance on russia, but how far do you think nato would be willing to go? what is the feeling you get

stealth jets will be going to britain to for the first time, a permanent army headquarters in poland. that something that the polish president was touching upon saying that this is historic and this will make poland to feel far more secure.— this will make poland to feel far more secure. . , . ., ~ , ., , more secure. kasia, thank you very much indeed- _ bringing you some breaking news now from paris. in the last couple of minutes or so, thejudge in that trial, that back clan terrorist attack has handed down a guilty verdict to all of the defendants involved in that trial. the judge read his verdict a few minutes ago, and the latest that we have is that all defendants are found guilty, charges linked to those terrorist

attacks in paris. now, of course, this is the attack in paris that we were talking about a bit earlier in the programme in which 130 people died. the only surviving actual attacker from that, seen as a key suspect and the only suspected attack to survive has also been found guilty of all the charges against them. the trial, of course, as we heard earlierfrom our correspondent there has been the biggest in peacetime history. it took nine months to hear evidence from witnesses, journalists and also hear from some of those accused sitting on the dock. to reiterate that we have a guilty verdict for all of the defendants and the judges sentencing of them, buyer one, have been found guilty. the attacks across these bars and restaurants killed 130 people back in november 2015, such as to reiterate, the

latest we have is that all bar one have been found guilty of this attack and the only surviving member of the group was found guilty of terrorism and murder charges on friday. so all the defendants bar one, we are not sure who that is, have been found guilty of all the charges against them. of course, we will bring you a bit more on this as and when we get it, including sentencing, which we haven't got yet. but that is the latest on that trial which took nine months to complete. it's the biggest trial france has really ever seen and took place in paris. it's day three at wimbledon, where number one seed novak djokovic and british number one emma radacanu have both been out on court. our sports presenter chetan pathakjoins me now from the all england lawn tennis club.

first of all, let's talk about novak, he was in court today and he was victorious. it novak, he was in court today and he was victorious.— was victorious. it feels like a long time auo was victorious. it feels like a long time ago now. — was victorious. it feels like a long time ago now, he _ was victorious. it feels like a long time ago now, he opened - was victorious. it feels like a long time ago now, he opened the - time ago now, he opened the proceedings on centre court earlier against australia playing different strands of singles here at wimbledon for the first time, and novak reminding us again why he is a six time champion here at the all england club, why he is going for wimbledon number seven, why he's going for his 21st grand slam title. on monday, he started slowly against the south korean and admitted afterwards that he dropped a set did not match as well, that he couldn't quite find his feet on that surface of grass, making that transition from the clay—court season, he hadn't played any pre—grass court tournaments. that's classic novak djokovic. very rarely does. so get at making the adjustments. it took him a while on monday, but boy did he find that earlier on wednesday

against him, sailing through in straight sets. he admitted afterwards that he is feeling very good already and with some type players already out of these championships can it's really opening up for him. you can see why he has the clear favourite to defend his title. he has not lost here since 2017. his title. he has not lost here since 2011— his title. he has not lost here since 2017. ., , . , ., since 2017. not such good news for emma. since 2017. not such good news for emma- what _ since 2017. not such good news for emma. what happened _ since 2017. not such good news for emma. what happened there - since 2017. not such good news for emma. what happened there so i since 2017. not such good news for i emma. what happened there so much since 2017. not such good news for - emma. what happened there so much to be said about emma after that incredible success at the us open last year, which her to superstardom. since then, for the british teenager, there have been injury challenges, she's gone out at the second round of the australian open and the french open and for british friends, i'm afraid to say, the exact same thing happened at wimbledon earlier. emma's wimbledon is over this year. she was beaten by carolina garcia in straight sets. credit to her, a good player, she went grass court title going into these championships. just frankly

paid a lot more tennis recently that emma has. she's only played seven games on grass going into these championships. she was injured quite early on in her campaign in nottingham. it was always going to be a battle for her to be fit in time for these championships. actually, she was moving well, but just not match ready, and garcia was aggressive on the front foot. it's normal, 19 years old, no need to throw a crisis around emma commits a natural part of her development, three years between novak djokovic's first grand slam in the second, three years for pete sampras, won a grand slam at19 three years for pete sampras, won a grand slam at 19 years old three years after that, when his second coming for serena williams, it was two years, just because she won the us open that instant success is going to continue to follow. let's be patient with her. absolutely. let's talk about andy murray. i'm quite right now, am i right? he is. we can be — quite right now, am i right? he is. we can be that — quite right now, am i right? he is. we can be that patient _ quite right now, am i right? he is. we can be that patient with - quite right now, am i right? he is. we can be that patient with andy i we can be that patient with andy murray because time is not on his second 35 years old most of the

two—time champion at the all england club, he has had his injury challenges come over my shoulder, the british fans are desperate for something to cheer, although we have seen british players progress today. mary is up against the hard—hitting american who took the first set six games to four. and mary, i can see is 65 up in the second, so can you level this when up? it could be an epic late—night finish for andy murray in the british fans yet again here at wimbledon. {lila yet again here at wimbledon. 0k, thank ou yet again here at wimbledon. 0k, thank you very — yet again here at wimbledon. 0k, thank you very much indeed. now, before we go, let's bring you back that's breaking news from paris, a court in paris has found all defendants in the attack child guilty of all the charges against them. believed to be the only surviving member of the group that carried out the most deadly attack ever seen in peacetime france. he

has been found guilty of terrorism and to murder charges by the come to court on wednesday. now, the trial has seen witnesses, thousands of plaintiffs and more than 300 lawyers involved. it is, as i mentioned, the biggest trial ever seen in peacetime france most of the trial is all about the attacks which were not centred just on the concert hall, but where around the city of paris. they killed 130 people and injured many hundreds more. just to reiterate, salah abdeslam and 18 of his fellow defendants in that trial had been found guilty of the terrorism charges brought against and in france, and we will be hearing, i'm sure, about sentencing very shortly. more from paris later on in the programme. you are watching outside source. stay with us here on bbc news. plenty more on this and all the other strays that you've been watching here in a moment. stay with us.

hello again. low pressure stays with us this week, so the weather is unsettled. today has been a day of sunshine and showers. some places taking a direct hit with some heavy downpours, just down the road, perhaps staying entirely dry with blue skies and sunshine. that's the way showers go. they are random in nature often, as we can see, as they have been today across many parts of the uk. however, we have seen a line from across parts of southwest england, and that line has been caused by the sonar convergence — the winds bashing together — and underneath this line, there will be some areas that will have had a pretty wet day, whereas brampton on the coast, not so many showers. now, looking at the satellite

picture at the moment, we are watching this developing area of cloud come up across france. that overnight is going to be bringing this zone of heavy rain northwards across england, perhaps reaching parts of wales, and certainly later in the night, we will see the rain move across northern england, reaching eastern areas of scotland as well. there will be a few showers out west, meanwhile. temperatures overnight staying into double figures, very similar to recent nights, really. and looking at the weather charts into thursday morning, where we start off with rain, across eastern areas of scotland, that will tend to push its way northwards and a bit more northwestwards through the day. after a bright start for many of you, shower clouds will bubble up. this time, the showers particularly slow—moving in nature, a much greater chance of seeing hail and thunder, and again, they will be pretty randomly scattered, although there will be another of those convergence zones, this time running across parts of southwest england into central southern england, so a place like redding, you could be in for a shower as we head through thursday afternoon. by friday, we've still got a showery looking weather picture, low pressure still with us, but this time, the winds starting to pick up, strength coming in from a west

or south westerly direction. where the showers do for them, at least they will be blown across the sky fairly quickly, but still some heavy downpours around, still the risk of some thunder, and temperatures really changing very much day by day. high teens in the west, low 20s in the east. on into the weekend, well, we start off on an unsettled note, but through sunday and then into monday, we start to get this area of high pressure starting to influence our weather a little bit more very gradually. so we will start to lose the showers during the second half of the weekend, and into next week, should become largely dry with it some sunshine. temperatures eventually, for some, climbing at least into the mid—20s.

the atrocities left 130 people dead and plunged france into national mourning. the main defendant in the trial was salah abdeslam. the 32—year—old is the only surviving member of the 10 men jihadi cell that went on the rampage. we will be live in paris with the very latest. ukrainian soldiers are taking part in a prisoner swap with russia. the us singer r kelly could face decades

in prison as his verdict for sex trafficking is handed down in new york. let's be new more and that breaking news. the verdict in the trial. the verdict in the trial. all defendants but one have been found guilty of all charges. that includes the main suspect who is believed to be the only surviving member of the group are carried out the attack. we understand the sentencing is still to be announced. let's head to paris. not particularly surprising that these verdicts have been handed down? ., ., . �* down? you are correct. but the 'udge started reading i down? you are correct. but the 'udge started reading out i down? you are correct. but the 'udge started reading out the i down? you are correct. but the 'udge started reading out the verdict _ down? you are correct. but the judge started reading out the verdict are i started reading out the verdict are very short time ago. among his first words were that although in the case of one of the defence there is

questions over whether this person had participated in a terrorist activity, in the case of all other 19, all the charges against them were upheld. he has not gone into the detail yet but that does mean that the charges against the key accused, are all upheld. he is accused, are all upheld. he is accused of murder and attempted murder of police. among other things. that means that he has been found guilty and all the others have been found guilty, too. not a surprise but interesting that what the judge has said already is that one key piece of evidence in the case was considered very important. this was the fact that his suicide vest was defective. if you remember, in his pleading, in his testimony, he had said he had changed his mind and the reason he had not blown

himself up was because he saw his victims in a bar in paris and decided that he could not go through with it. so he renounced the act of terrorism when she was supposed to carry out. the court has decided they don't believe him. the reason they don't believe him. the reason they think you did not carry out the was because his suicide vest did not work. so that is not a surprise but an interesting detail. it goes to show that i think we can expect very severe sentences when they are announced in the next couple of hours. not entirely sure how long this is going to last.— this is going to last. what are we exectin: this is going to last. what are we expecting about _ this is going to last. what are we expecting about sentencing? - this is going to last. what are we i expecting about sentencing? well, this is going to last. what are we - expecting about sentencing? well, of the 14 ou expecting about sentencing? well, of the 14 you are — expecting about sentencing? well, of the 14 you are here, _ expecting about sentencing? well, of the 14 you are here, six _ expecting about sentencing? well, of the 14 you are here, six are _ the 14 you are here, six are probably dead in syria. of the 14 q2 probably dead in syria. of the 14 02 here, five face terms of life imprisonment. his life imprisonment has an added twist because the prosecution has asked for life imprisonment with no possibility of parole which is a very, very rare sentence in france. and that is handed down extremely rarely and only against people regarded as

being permanently a threat to society child killers, mainly. in the three or four people who are serving that sentence right now. that was what the prosecution asked for. the defence to all of this, have all said, don't turn this trial into a symbolic one. it may be a momentous and terrible thing that happened but these were not the main perpetrators. there needs to be taken into account. we shall have to see when the sentences are read out in the coming moments.— in the coming moments. thank you very much- — ukraine says it has carried out the biggest prisoner swap with moscow since the russian invasion. among the troops being returned are ukrainians who were captured defending the azovstal steelworks during the siege of mariupol. ukraine's defence ministry said on twitter that 144 of what it

called "ukrainian warriors have been liberated from russian prisons via an exchange mechanism. 95 of them participated in the defence of mariupol. ukraine will fight for every single one of our service members." this is all happened very much in secret as these prison swaps always do. in general they don't tell us in advance. both sides don't say anything until it has happened is being how it has always happened so far but what is interesting is both sides have now confirmed this as well as the ukrainian saying it has happened, the russian backed militias have as well so 144 prisoners have gone each way. 144 ukrainians released by the russians and 144 russian fighters released by the ukrainians but what has got peoples attention here is that many of these other fighters who were captured during the siege of mariupol. people will remember this was a crucial battle at the start of this conflict for more than days,

thousands of fighters, ukrainians, held off the russian advance and alter the course of this work according to many ukrainian so these are seen as national heroes. in the steelworks eventually fell, two and a half thousand of them were captured by the russians and taken to an uncertain fate. it was not known what had happened to them but it has been revealed that of 144 ukrainians who were released, about two thirds of them were those who were defending and about one third of them were members of the battalion. that is the unit of the ukrainian national guard. very much hated and feared by the russians but real national heroes. one thing it is worth saying is that we understand most of those that have been released have very serious injuries. explosive injuries, burns, gunshot wounds and shrapnel wounds. our understanding from the national guard here is that these people are

not going to be returning to the front line at any point but will be taken for medical, physical and psychological treatments. the death toll has risen to 18. more than 30 people are still missing. russia claims the target was an ammunition warehouse. the brute force of russia's strike. a cruise missile fired from a plane hundreds of miles away, plunging towards ukrainian families doing their shopping. 18—year—old daria has been looking for her mum ever since. larissa, a cleaner, was at work in an electronics shop. translation: i am so composed, not because i don't feel _ anything, but because i need to support my relatives.

that's how it is easier for me, but what i feel is emptiness. many more families have been searching in desperation. four days before the strike, shopping centre management told staff it would no longer be evacuated during air raid alerts. there is now a criminal investigation into that decision. it's obvious that many people simply didn't stand a chance. the operation here is now moving to dismantling the remainder of the building. the impact on families here in kremenchuk will be felt for months and years to come. you've got to remember that russia continues to kill civilians across this country. at least five people were killed this morning in this strike on a residential block in mykolaiv. but from elsewhere in the same

southern city, russia was releasing this footage, claiming it had destroyed a training base for foreign fighters. russia says that it doesn't hit civilian targets. russia says it doesn't kill civilians. what do you say to that? translation: i know what the truth is, but i think it won't matter- because this won't return my mother to me, it won't return children to hundreds of other parents. the uk's ministry of defence says it's possible russia's missile was intended to hit another target nearby, but it didn't. and moscow is prepared to live with the consequences. nick beake, bbc news, kremenchuk. there's been a lot of talk about

president's motivations. the uk defence secretary ben wallace said... he was what the uk prime minister said about the russian leader. heed said about the russian leader. need more women _ said about the russian leader. need more women in _ said about the russian leader. need more women in positions _ said about the russian leader. iii» more women in positions of power. it putin was a woman, which obviously isn't, but if you were, overly don't think he would have embarked on a crazy match oh more of this invasion and violence in the way that he has. if you want a perfect example of toxic masculinity, it is what he is doing in ukraine. drjackson katz is an academic and campaigner on gender and violence issues. good to talk to you. let me ask you first of all, do you agree with the british by minister?— first of all, do you agree with the british by minister? well, i would sa that british by minister? well, i would say that he _ british by minister? well, i would say that he is _ british by minister? well, i would say that he is onto _ british by minister? well, i would say that he is onto something. i l say that he is onto something. i would not use the language that he has used in coming from a subject position, who he is and how he has

operated committed by the rich that he would be criticising another man for his quote and quote performance of a certain kind of masculinity but i think it is clear that vladimir putin, part of the reason why he is popular, where he is popular and is popular, where he is popular and is popular on the right in the united states, until the invasion of ukraine, part of the reason for his popularity is this projection of a certain kind of white christian masculinity and that is part of who uses a persona and it helped him mobilise the political energy immobilisers to do things like invade ukraine. [30 immobilisers to do things like invade ukraine.— immobilisers to do things like invade ukraine. do you think that kind of masculinity _ invade ukraine. do you think that kind of masculinity and _ invade ukraine. do you think that kind of masculinity and that - kind of masculinity and that projection of masculinity works better in some cultures rather than others? ,, , ,, , ., ,,

that backs it up. it is inevitable if we are going to talk about presidential politics in the us that we have to talk about masculinity and it is true. it is clearly true of that year putin's persona and he has cultivated that for some time, notjust recently.— notjust recently. what would you think about _ notjust recently. what would you think about women _ notjust recently. what would you think about women leaders? - not just recently. what would you | think about women leaders? boris johnson saying a female putin would not be the same kind of leader? did he have a point there?— he have a point there? well, there is a point- — he have a point there? well, there is a point- i— he have a point there? well, there is a point. i mean, _ he have a point there? well, there is a point. i mean, gets _ he have a point there? well, there. is a point. i mean, gets complicated because there are women leaders who are not progressives, who are not feminist, they are just embodied as women but they are playing a role that certainly fits into the traditionalist patriarchal narrative structure. but i think i mean, i think there is something to it. borisjohnson stumbled upon boris johnson stumbled upon something borisjohnson stumbled upon something that is for the important and interesting and well people ridicule and i understand the ridicule, it is actually important. we should not be talking about this, when i took but the arise of authoritarian politics in the united states and europe and elsewhere we have to talk about the gender subtext and so much it is about men trying to reclaim power and dominance over women and to rollback both feminist gains and lgb do gains

and that is one of the reasons why that may putin has been so popular on the american right because he represents something that they aspire to and i think a lot of people in the right in the united states had to backtrack from their almost slavish devotion to putin when the invasion of ukraine were so unpopular with the american public that people had to backtrack a little bit. but it is important that borisjohnson has opened up this conversation. boris johnson has opened up this conversation.— boris johnson has opened up this conversation. thank you very much indeed. stay with as an outside source because still to come the us singer r kelly has his verdict handed down in new york. that is coming up. the

our lead story, the only surviving gunman from the 2015 terror attacks, has been found guilty of terrorism and murder. guilty verdicts have been returned for 18 other men. internet services have been cut and a curfew imposed in parts of a northern indian state, where the murder of a hindu man has inflamed religious tensions. the victim is a tailor named kanhaiya lal. he was killed in udaipur district in the state of rajasthan on tuesday. two muslim men have been arrested in connection with his murder. the alleged killers allegedly filmed the act and posted it online — claiming it was in retaliation for lal�*s support on facebook of controversial comments regarding the prophet muhammad. they were made by this woman, a former spokesperson for the building

political party. in another video, kanhaiya lal�*s alleged killers are said to have boasted about the murder and also issued threats to prime minister narendra modi while brandishing cleavers. hundreds of people have taken to the streets of udaipur on wednesday as lal�*s body was taken to the funeral site. the sentience express reported that three weeks before his death, he had been arrested for hurting religious feelings and had asked for police protection after his release, saying he'd had threats made against his life. this is what one of his relatives had to say. where did the police go? where were the police? they stabbed my uncle when he was just itching clothes. we want to stab and kill them in the same way. want to stab and kill them in the same way-— want to stab and kill them in the same wa . ~ . , ., same way. the killing which is not 'ust same way. the killing which is not just stunned _ same way. the killing which is not just stunned and _ same way. the killing which is not just stunned and shaken - same way. the killing which is not just stunned and shaken this - same way. the killing which is not| just stunned and shaken this state but the whole country happened in this very lame almost ten shots down the line. this is the centre of the city where both hindus and muslims

have been living together for centuries. but never ever has such an incident happened before. now the area is completely fortified. heavy police presence can be seen everywhere and authorities are not with you willing to give details of how the people who have been accused of this crime of being questioned, what is coming out of the investigation. one thing is very clear, the society out here is completely divided along religious lines after this gruesome killing. before we move on that spring is more details on the breaking story of the terror attacks. that nine—month trial in france ended and to bring a lot of extra detail the french court has sentenced the only surviving attacker from that day to life in jail surviving attacker from that day to life injailfor surviving attacker from that day to life in jail for involvement surviving attacker from that day to life injailfor involvement in those attacks so he has got life in jail as our correspondence add, that

is very unusualfor jail as our correspondence add, that is very unusual for french courts to give that kind of sentence are a reflection of the seriousness of the crime. let's move from paris to a court in new york where a sentence is expected to be handed down to our carry shortly. it is nine months since the american r&b singer was found guilty of running a scheme to sexually abuse women and children. in september a new yorkjury convicted the 55—year—old pop star of racketeering and eight counts of trafficking. you'll spend at least ten years in prison with a maximal sentence being life. our correspondence outside the court in new york with a sentencing is taking place and what more can you tell others about this trial?— others about this trial? yes. i should mention, _ others about this trial? yes. i should mention, this - others about this trial? yes. i should mention, this trial - others about this trial? yes. i | should mention, this trial took place last year in which he was convicted of recruiting black women and underage girls and boys into illegal sex and was found guilty on nine counts after a six week trial.

the sentencing hearing are still under way and earlier we heard from seven of his victims. they confronted him directly in court and i will give you just a few lines of what they said. one woman said she said to r kelly you are an abuser, you are shameless, you are disgusting and another victim said, behind closed doors he took their voice and that today they are taking it back. at the moment, both legal counsels from both sides are giving their statements to the judge. he does have an opportunity to address the court. we don't know if he will. the prosecution wants him to serve 25 years in jail. the prosecution wants him to serve 25 years injail. they the prosecution wants him to serve 25 years in jail. they say he showed callous disregard for the victim and no remorse whatsoever. his defence team say that the reason why he became who we did was because he had a traumatic childhood and they said he grew up in a household where he

was physically and sexually abused and he grew up in poverty and they have asked thejudge and he grew up in poverty and they have asked the judge to give him ten years. it is only the judge who can decide what that sentence will be so we are expecting to get that sentence and perhaps the next hour or so. . ~' sentence and perhaps the next hour or so. . ~ ,., sentence and perhaps the next hour or so. . ~ ,. y sentence and perhaps the next hour orso. . ~ , . or so. thank you very much indeed. let's or so. thank you very much indeed. let's speak— or so. thank you very much indeed. let's speak to _ or so. thank you very much indeed. let's speak to the _ or so. thank you very much indeed. let's speak to the ceo _ or so. thank you very much indeed. let's speak to the ceo and - or so. thank you very much indeed. let's speak to the ceo and founder| let's speak to the ceo and founder of the organisation child usa and first of all let me ask you for your reaction to this trial and what has happened so far. the guilty verdict and potential sentencing. the happened so far. the guilty verdict and potential sentencing.- and potential sentencing. the first erson and potential sentencing. the first person that _ and potential sentencing. the first person that came _ and potential sentencing. the first person that came forward - and potential sentencing. the first person that came forward was - and potential sentencing. the first person that came forward was in l person that came forward was in 1996. this is a long time coming for the survivors. it is a day for them to get closure but r kelly was essentially conducting a cult of sex with young people and this is a great day for justice. with young people and this is a great day forjustice. mit? with young people and this is a great day forjustice.— with young people and this is a great day forjustice. great day for 'ustice. why do you think it was — great day forjustice. why do you think it was so _ great day forjustice. why do you think it was so difficult _ great day forjustice. why do you think it was so difficult for - think it was so difficult for victims when they did come forward to get the message across? why has it taken this long to find him

before we go are breaking story the sour, the sentencing of the surviving attacker from the 2015 attack in paris. we know that, in the trial of the attackers in a french court, the only surviving attacker from that night has been sentenced to life without prospect of early release for his role in the paris attacks and of the 20 man accused of involvement in those attacks 18 of them, so 19 altogether, had been found guilty of terrorism and murder and the death of 130 people who were killed in that attack. of course, you can find all the information you need on this story and all the stories you have been watching here on our website. you been watching outside source.

thank you forjoining us. hello again. low pressure stays with us this week, so the weather is unsettled. today has been a day of sunshine and showers. some places taking a direct hit with some heavy downpours, just down the road, perhaps staying entirely dry with blue skies and sunshine. that's the way showers go. they are random in nature often, as we can see, as they have been today across many parts of the uk. however, we have seen a line from across parts of southwest england, and that line has been caused by the sonar convergence — the winds bashing together — and underneath this line, there will be some areas that will have had a pretty wet day, whereas brampton on the coast, not so many showers. now, looking at the satellite picture at the moment, we are watching this developing area of cloud come up across france.

that overnight is going to be bringing this zone of heavy rain northwards across england, perhaps reaching parts of wales, and certainly later in the night, we will see the rain move across northern england, reaching eastern areas of scotland as well. there will be a few showers out west, meanwhile. temperatures overnight staying into double figures, very similar to recent nights, really. and looking at the weather charts into thursday morning, where we start off with rain, across eastern areas of scotland, that will tend to push its way northwards and a bit more northwestwards through the day. after a bright start for many of you, shower clouds will bubble up. this time, the showers particularly slow—moving in nature, a much greater chance of seeing hail and thunder, and again, they will be pretty randomly scattered, although there will be another of those convergence zones, this time running across parts of southwest england into central southern england, so a place like redding, you could be in for a shower as we head through thursday afternoon. by friday, we've still got a showery looking weather picture, low pressure still with us, but this time, the winds starting to pick up, strength coming in from a west or south westerly direction. where the showers do for them,

at least they will be blown across the sky fairly quickly, but still some heavy downpours around, still the risk of some thunder, and temperatures really changing very much day by day. high teens in the west, low 20s in the east. on into the weekend, well, we start off on an unsettled note, but through sunday and then into monday, we start to get this area of high pressure starting to influence our weather a little bit more very gradually. so we will start to lose the showers during the second half of the weekend, and into next week, should become largely dry with it some sunshine. temperatures eventually, for some, climbing at least into the mid—20s.

this is bbc news. i'm tim willcox. the headlines at 8pm — all but one of the 20 men accused of involvement in the 2015 paris attacks are found guilty. salah abdeslam is believed to be the only remaining survivor of the group of attackers. 130 people were killed in a combination of gun and bomb attacks in bars, restaurants, the national football stadium and bataclan music venue. nato leaders agree to significantly strengthen the alliance's own deterrence and defence capabilities while pledging unwavering support for ukraine against russia's invasion. it follows ukraine's release of a video of the moment a russian anti—ship missile struck a packed shopping centre in kremenchuk on monday, killing at least 18 people. a royal source says the prince of wales will never again handle
