now a run—off again this time. he will be the first—ever black person elected to a full six year turn from georgia as a benneteau. a historic moment for this date and a historic moment for black people in america as well. and it will givejoe biden a bit more of a margin in the senate and bear in mind their democrats have already lost control of the house of representatives in the midterms but they will consolidate their senate hold 251 consolidate their senate hold 25! seats as opposed to a9, giving the president a bit more leeway to do what he wants, legislative speaking and in terms of all that important stuff like confirming judges to the federal bench. h0 stuff like confirming “udges to the federal bench._ the federal bench. no doubt this is a big _ the federal bench. no doubt this is a big blow— the federal bench. no doubt this is a big blow for- the federal bench. no doubt this is a big blow for the - this is a big blow for the republicans. what does this with their party and also donald trump?- with their party and also donald trump? with their party and also donald trum - ? . , , donald trump? -- what is this?

after christmas and donald trump already has his hat in the ring. many others are contemplating the races well and in particular that big beast from florida, ron desantis who really crushed it in the mid—term elections in terms of his own return as governor of the sunshine state, and he believes, well his supporters believe that he can give donald trump a real run for his money.— for his money. thank you so much for — for his money. thank you so much for your _ for his money. thank you so much for your insights. - to haiti now and yesterday we brought you the first of orla gerin�*s reports about criminal gangs bringing terror and chaos to the country. the united nations is warning that a humanitarian crisis is unfolding in what is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. almost half the population are facing acute hunger. armed groups and gangs are complicating efforts to get help to those in need. from the capital, port—au—prince, orla guerin has the second of her special reports.

and a warning — you may find parts distressing. a little boy lost — being put out on the street. police evicting families from a public square in port—au—prince. consigning them to this: many sought refuge here injuly when gang warfare killed at least 300 people in ten days. they have had little help from their failing state. what is happening here now is that people who have already been displaced once are being displaced again. women have been leaving, clutching small children by the hand, carrying whatever they can manage. there is a real sense of despair now, they are wondering where can they go to be safe. here's where they fled from.

cite soleil, a place where most fear to tread. it's the poorest part of the capital, and a bastion of the gangs. the un's world food programme has to negotiate its way in, to give out life—saving aid. it says 19,000 people here are facing famine—like conditions. a two—hour flight from miami. all this is watched carefully by gang members, who remain out of sight. they are also watching us as we film. we can't step outside the gate. how hard is it to try to feed your child? "i can't," sarah tells me, "so my little one is now at my mother's." here, there's shooting every day.

and now, there is another threat. cholera has returned. five—year—old jocelyn has been hit hard. she is already weakened by malnutrition, like so many children here. with her godmother by her side, she gets help in time. but much of the suffering here goes unnoticed, unseen by the world. and the greatest plague is the gangs, who own most of the streets. haiti's government has pleaded for foreign troops. so far, the international community is in no rush. there is anger at the idea of more foreign intervention. it has a bad history here. many haitians want their government out, not foreigners in.

"the state is collecting taxes," says abner, "but it can't collect the rubbish. "it can't feed the people. "we will fight until we overthrow it." this man has been been fighting for a better haiti, as a lawyer and human rights activist, but no—one is immune here, no—one is safe. he lost his entire family, his wife and daughters. here they were, in life, sharing a happy moment. they were gunned down by a gang in august. three women, no mercy. translation: you are always waiting for a -

call from your child. telling you, dad this, or dad that. and in the blink of an eye, the criminals take away the connection to your child. this was the family carjust hours after the attack. translation: they take the country hostage, - they make the law here. they kill, they rape, they destroy. and they rob children of what little they have. this boy is 12. he and his mother are now homeless for the second time. first, they fled cite soleil, now the authorities have moved them on. they told us they had no idea where they would go.

0rla guerin, bbc news, port—au—prince. donald trump's property business, the trump organization, has been convicted of 17 counts of tax fraud, as well as other financial crimes. the company now faces a fine of $1.6 million. the conviction is a blow to the former us president who has announced he will run again for the white house. in terms of financial liability, the impact of this is pretty minimal. his organisation is looking at a fine of $1.6 million,

but of wider concern i suppose is what this means for the trump 0rganization going forward as far as business dealings are concerned. the due diligence that the banks will undertake getting loans, for example, and securing future government contracts. this will put a cloud over all those sorts of things. as far as donald trump himself is concerned — and he wasn't named in this lawsuit, it was just taken against his companies — it is potentially of course all part of the cumulative effect that could come into play on voters' minds as we get closer to the 202a presidential election. mr trump of course announced recently that he is going to mount a third run for the white house. and with other legal battles yet to come — the new york attorney general letitia james, for example, is preparing a fraud case against mr trump —

and two members of his family and there are investigations under way into the alleged role he played in the uprising at the us capitol in january of last year — the cumulative effect of all this could have an impact on voters as we get closer to that presidential election. and we're going back to america now and rafael warnock has just appeared on stage. i now and rafael warnock has 'ust appeared on stagei appeared on stage. i want to say thank — appeared on stage. i want to say thank you. _ appeared on stage. i want to say thank you, thank - appeared on stage. i want to say thank you, thank you - appeared on stage. i want to i say thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. and to god be the glory. —— raphael

voter suppression in georgia. let me be clear... just because people endured long lines that wrapped around buildings, some blocks long, just because they endured the rain and the cold and all kinds of tricks in order to vote, doesn't mean that voter suppression does not exist. it simply means that you, the people, have decided that your voices will not be silenced. applause that is a victory speech there from raphael warnock who has taken centre stage to say his thank youse and also to pay tribute to his family and his late father. he says, we won, and he also talks about his deep roots with georgia. we

will bring you more on that story. it was a nail—biting watch as no team score any goals after extra time, meaning it was decided by the dreaded penalties. it was morocco who sealed victory after defender scored the winning penalty, knocking the former champions out of the tournament. wendy urquhart reports. football fa ns football fans jumped in this cars is a sinister match was over and headed for the city centre. the moroccan flag was flying high and all of the drivers were leaning out of their cars. in london the celebrations brought piccadilly circus to a complete standstill as thousands cram to the streets. and in paris, fans swarmed onto the champs—elysees waving flags and making sure their voices were heard,

and all arabs. but will they be the first african nation and the first african nation and the first african nation and the first arab nation to make it to the world cup semifinals? we will find out when they play portugal on saturday. wendy urquhart, bbc news. hello there. it's been cold enough alreadyjust recently, but i'm afraid to say it's going to get colder still over the coming few days. with some clear skies overnight, we're looking at widespread, quite sharp frosts. there is the threat of some icy conditions as well, particularly where we see some wintry showers. now, this colder air is coming our way because the wind is a northerly, and that northerly wind sweeping down across the whole of the country now. and because it's a northerly, northern scotland's really in the firing line. this is where we're going to see most of snow. could be 10cm over the hills in the next few days. there is a risk of ice and snow elsewhere. but for many inland parts of england in particular, it's a very low chance of snow. it's going to be cold everywhere with a widespread frost, maybe not quite so cold early on wednesday in east anglia

in the south—east, because we've got a bit more cloud here that'll take a while to break up. 0therwise many places will be dry and see some sunshine. it's areas exposed to that northerly wind that will see some wintry showers. parts of northern ireland, down some of these irish sea coasts, down the north sea coast and more especially northern scotland. seeing that snow, those are the temperatures in the afternoon, 3 to 5 degrees, a little bit colder than it was on tuesday, windy in northern scotland and down those north sea coasts. so it's these areas in particular that will feel quite a lot colder in that wind. and the snow continues. as we head overnight it could get a bit heavier across northern scotland, we may see some mixture of rain, sleet and snow coming in to northern ireland as well. and that's coming into cold air, of course, another widespread frost with clear skies across many parts of the country. and we've got this cold air, this northerly air right the way across the country. now, the winds are not particularly strong. so where you have those clearer skies, that's why we're seeing such low temperatures at night.

it could be icy for a while across northern ireland, may turn a bit icy across western parts of wales with some wetter weather beginning to move in here. still some showers grazing those north sea coasts, more snow to come across northern scotland, although the snow may ease off later in the day. if anything, it may well be a bit colder on thursday. typical temperatures only around 2 or 3 degrees. it doesn't get an awful lot better than that on friday either. another widespread, quite sharp frost. you can see we've got a few wintry showers mainly around coastal areas. so in many, actually, the winds will be light. there'll be some sunshine around, but temperatures may be no better than around 2 to only 5 celsius. goodbye.

this is bbc news, the headlines: in the us state of georgia, the democratic incumbent, rafael warnock, has beaten the republican former football star herschel walker to win the last senate seat up for grabs in the midterm elections. the democrats now have a 51—a9 seat moroccan football fans have been celebrating their country's world cup win over spain. the victory has taken them into the quarterfinals for the first time. they will next face portugal, who beat switzerland despite dropping ronaldo from the team. the quarter finals start on friday.
