tell you about the founder of the founder of the right—wing oath keepers the founder of the right—wing oath keepers militia group in the us has been convicted of seditious conspiracy, in relation to last year's attack on the capitol building in washington. he and four other people were accused of using force to block congress from certifying president biden's election victory. our north america editor sarah smith gave us this update. the far right extremist group, the far right extremist group, the oath keepers, two of them up the oath keepers, two of them up and found guilty of seditious conspiracy including the leader of the group. that is a very unusual charge the dates of way back to the civil war and it's a very serious charge because it comes up to 20 years injail. there were five oath keepers and they were all convicted of some charges including obstruction or conspiracy to obstruct. the group leader did not actually go into the capitol building on january the 6th, but the jury clearly were convinced that he applauded in advance to use

violence to stop the lawful transfer of power from donald trump to joe transfer of power from donald trump tojoe biden and they saw text messages that had the need to rise up. this would be very carefully watch not just what it means for the oath keepers and the proud boys but what it could mean for donald trump because the justice could mean for donald trump because thejustice department is still considering whether or not to prosecute him for his part in the january six riot and a special counsel is been appointed here in washington to see whether or not donald trump himself should be put on trial. reporting on that story for us. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. causing a man has been arrested in the uk on suspicion of causing the deaths of 27 people who drowned while trying

them out to maintain them, probably months. there may be practical reasons why the systems have yet to have been provided but we understand because of the pressure being put on by ukraine and because of the urgency of the situation with its electrical grid being targeted are ongoing and the pentagon is looking at that and also looking at other systems. but for ukraine, we just do not need help with rebuilding and repairing infrastructure and getting some that help, a pledge today from the us was that they give more than $50 million to help ukraine repair its electrical grid but they also need those air defence systems and those weapons if they are going to win this war against russia. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme.

this is newsday on the bbc. our headlines. england trying 3— 04 wells in the world cup the political rivals iran 1—0 taking both teams to the knockout stages. the founder of the us right wing oath keepers militia is convicted of seditious conspiracy over last years attack at the capital. five palestinian men have been killed by israeli forces in four separate incidents in the occupied west bank. the un has warned that the israeli—palestinian conflict is "again reaching a boiling point" after an escalation in violence in the west bank and israel. our middle east correspondent tom bateman has the latest from jerusalem. the two palestinian brothers shot dead, they were in the

palestinian village in the occupied west bank close to the city and palestinian sources tell us that there was the throwing of stones and some petrol bombs towards the israeli soldiers and the soldiers responded by opening fire at the palestinians. two men were killed and they were brothers, both students at a nearby university that happened during monday to tuesday and then, within a few hours of that, for the south and the city, and incident in similar circumstances and another palestinian man shot dead by the israeli troops and then in the israeli troops and then in the day on tuesday and another village, video shows what appeared to be young men, possibly teenagers again, throwing stones towards the israeli soldiers who again, open fire. the use of live ammunition and another palestinian was killed. the israeli army describes all of these offences for violent riots but they virtually never

explained why he resorted to lethal force rather than other means. so, we have this for palestinians killed, palestinians killed, palestinian officials described in their words as an execution. then on tuesday, palestinian man drove his car towards an israeli soldier, ran her over she was left seriously wounded in that car ramming attack and israeli police officer then pursued him and the palestinian man was shot dead. five palestinians killed in the space of 24 hours and all of it coming in the year of escalating violence. more than 130 palestinians killed in the occupied west bank this year and that includes civilians and militant gunmen in more than 30 israelis killed this year, most of them in the state of gun and knife attacks. it's about reminding people and the fears and memories of some of the worst years in the occupied palestinian territories in israel and all can get a year a

very volatile politics. the palestinian authorities have been losing control of some palestinian cities and west bank to a young militant gunmen were starting to fire at the israeli forces when they carry out arrest rates and likely the inauguration of the most nationalistic government in israel's history it will contain a very powerful for right element in israel's history it will contain a very powerful far history it will contain a very powerfulfar right history it will contain a very powerful far right element and they are calling for much tougher security operations. and so, you have a year when things have already been the worst in terms of the death toll in many years for greater fear now of escalating violence. china has launched a three—man crew on the latest mission to its space station. the giant rocket lifted off from a site in the gobi desert, aiming for the chinese space station which is circling the earth in low orbit. the expedition forms part of china's broader plan,

and deaths from the disease itself is particularly important for elderly populations and over 60 years of age, definitely above 80 years of age were really at greatest risk of getting hospitalised and dying from covid—19. so, prioritising them, expediting the elderly population along with other priority groups like this with underlying conditions of chronic disease with those who are at higher risk of exposure to the virus and health care workers, it is absolutely really important priority and protecting populations against infection or getting sick and dying from the disease. professor, what are china's options in terms of the vaccines they can use right now? �* , vaccines they can use right now? 3 ., vaccines they can use right now? �* , ., ., ., ., now? there's a huge amount of vaccines available _ now? there's a huge amount of vaccines available now. - now? there's a huge amount of

this complex epidemiology spreading really far and his lungs the vaccine is doing this and at scale very quickly, then i guess it gives them the advantage that you're going to see less hospitalisation from the virus and it is with the primary aim should be to minimise the impact on the health system and prevent death and hospitalisation to the greatest extent possible and also monitoring what will become really complex and then designing policies that are optimalfor designing policies that are optimal for the designing policies that are optimalfor the local designing policies that are optimal for the local context will be looking at finding ways to measure prevalence in the community and population and otherforms of community and population and other forms of surveillance to be able to triangulate the data and see what the population and community is like and what it has. ., ., ~ community is like and what it has. ., ., has. professor, thank you so much for _ has. professor, thank you so much forjoining _ has. professor, thank you so much forjoining us - has. professor, thank you so much forjoining us on - has. professor, thank you so much forjoining us on the i much forjoining us on the programme and with that, that

brings us to the end of newsday at this hour. thank you for joining me. yesterday that's a pretty big temperature contrast hello again. yesterday we had some pretty big temperature contrasts across the uk. western areas had the mildest weather, with temperatures reaching around 12 or 13 degrees celsius with some bright skies. meanwhile, across parts of england, we had low cloud and mist linger all day and that's kept the temperatures pegged back at three. however, i think we've got a much bigger change in our weather patterns taking place. over the next 7 to 10 days, we're going to lose the influence of the atlantic south westerly winds. and instead we've got a big area of high pressure that's going to build across greenland into next week.

and what that will do is it will drive these bitterly cold polar winds across the uk towards the end of next week. and with that comes the threat for some snow, particularly across the hills of northern scotland. so we'll be watching out for signs of a change. it is 7 to 10 days off, but it looks like it could get quite cold next week. before we get there, the immediate concern that we have right now is mist and fog. it's certainly quite murky. through the welsh marches across northeast england, visibility has dropped to 100 metres and it's very murky to parts of scotland, notably around the central belt. for many of you starting off the day on a frost free notice but cold for northern scotland where we start off with temperatures around five or six degrees celsius below freezing. now, bear in mind, with that mist and fog around, you might need to leave a little bit of extra time for your early morning journey. and just like yesterday, some of this low cloud and fog will just lift into mr. lloyd's across eastern areas where that happens, temperatures probably staying at around four or five degrees. still for many of you, the weather will brighten up as we head through the day. the mildest weather again across western areas. temperatures again reaching double figures here now we'll take a look at the weather picture into thursday.

we've still got high pressure dominating the scene across england and wales, but these weak weather fronts just bringing the threat of some rain into the far northwest, some damp weather for mainland scotland. the heaviest rain will be across orkney and shetland during thursday. otherwise it's a largely dry picture again with some mist and fog patches to start the day with poor visibility and things generally turning a bit brighter as we head into the afternoons temperatures england, wales about 7 to 10 degrees celsius. but the mildest weather for west scotland and for northern ireland, 11 or 12 degrees here. however, through friday and the weekend it starts to get cooler, but the really cold air starts to arrive towards the end of next week. we'll be keeping a close eye on developments here.

we will have the headlines and all of them main news stories at the top of the hour as with newsday continues a street after her talk. welcome to hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur. we humans know that one day we will die. but as long as our end has no specific timetable attached, many of us choose to shelve the thought, avoid it. covid, which took such a grim toll in so many countries, challenged us to confront the reality of our mortality. but still, health care professionals say, what they call, death
