trains may now terminate in west london, at old oak common — but the chancellor played down those reports. i don't see any conceivable circumstance in which that would not end up at euston and indeed, i prioritised hs2 in the autumn statement. we have not got a good record in this country of delivering complex, expensive infrastructure quickly but i am incredibly proud that, for the first time in this last decade under a conservative government, we have shovels in the ground, we are building hs2 and we are going to make it happen. dying 23 minutes after being born, the hospital has pleaded guilty in winter entries and her mother in 2019. poland will deliver 60

with more than 2,000 people stranded inside the flooded building at its peak. meteorologists in new zealand say approximately an entire summer's worth of rain fell in just a few hours, and the deluge will continue for another five days. prime minister chris hipkins says the situation in auckland is �*unprecedented'. ricardo menendez march is a new zealand green mp, who was forced to evacuate his home in auckland. he says floodwaters were rising rapidly. this is not something we are you stupid climate change is inevitably making these events more frequent in the city and in the country. when it started raining, many of us did not expect her neighbourhood schizo flooded but in the matter of an hour, my localarea flooded but in the matter of an hour, my local area was already flooded in the water was coming all the way almost to her shoulders and so, we had to make a prompt evacuation and i was privileged

enough to have given shelter by a mate who lived nearby but there are people who unfortunately were not as lucky, disabled people, migrant communities as well in this are really being a casualty reported in the city, we know that the rain is going to continue overnight and even though there's been a state of emergency declared, it's only recently that shutters have been open to the general population and so, for many people, they have some time ahead when there will be someone with —— some uncertainty and we need to have a conversation about how climate change is making these events more frequent and has cities like auckland are unprepared to deal with the events that are going to become more frequent. survivors of the holocaust have been lighting candles for international holocaust memorial day — to honour the six millionjewish

people and members of minority groups murdered by the nazis during the second world war. today the director of the auschwitz museum condemned russia's invasion of ukraine as being driven by the same �*lust for power�* as nazi germany. our religion editor aleem maqbool reports. witnesses to the horrors of the holocaust were among those who gathered today. to light candles in remembrance. the piccadilly lights reflected the moment through the faces of those touched by the devastating impact of genocide. often, of course, the atrocities were perpetrated by ordinary people. the ability to turn people against each other is unbelievable, and through mass hysteria and dehumanising people, and blaming people for all of the problems that were going on, the hyperinflation, it led to the camps.

it was 78 years ago today at the auschwitz nazi death camp in southern poland soviet red army troops liberated the thousands of surviving prisoners. this anniversary became the day when the 6 millionjewish men, women and children murdered in the holocaust are commemorated. but it's also meant to be a moment to remember notjust the other groups killed by the nazis, but those murdered in genocides elsewhere, too. unusually, at auschwitz itself today, no russians were invited to the commemoration. far away, vladimir putin was using the day to repeat claims ethnic russians are being cleansed from ukraine by neo—nazis. but the director of the auschwitz museum likened russia's aggression in ukraine to the horrors of the holocaust.

that was my number, given in auschwitz. lily ebert still bears her prisoner number, and she worries about the possibility that dark days could return. i hope, for the sake of humanity, that humanity can survive where nothing like that happens again, to anybody. aleem maqbool, bbc news. sport now and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's gavin. the premier league's top two go head to head in the next hour — in the fourth round of the fa cup. manchester city host league leaders arsenal. gunners boss mikel arteta up against his mentor pep guardiola, at the etihad. arteta was guardiola's assistant at city before taking the arsenaljob in 2019... and is excited about his team's chances of competing, given their fine run of form so far.

i always hoped that was going to be the case one day. and it's happening this season. obviously, that's not going to change any friendships, the moments that we have, how important he is in my life, how important he is in my profession. we are both willing to win and defend our clubs in the best possible way. and that's always been the case since day one. sean dyche looks set to be named as everton's new manager — after frank lampard was sacked this week. he's a familiarface to the premier league. in a decade at burnley, dyche guided them to two promotions from the championship — and two top—half premier league finishes... and faces the task of saving everton's season. they're second from bottom — after picking up just 15 points from 20 games. nine time champion novak djokovic is on course for his tenth australian open title. after beating american tommy paul in straight sets. djokovic had raced through the previous rounds without any major incident. and with the exception of a slight wobble in the opening set.

he regained his focus and composure — breaking twice in each of the next two sets to secure victory after two hours and 20 minutes. he'll face stefanos tsitsipas in sunday's final. djokovic's father was missing from the crowds, after attracting headlines for posing with supporters of russian president vladimir putin. after his victory, djokovic was quick to defend him. he was passing through, he made a photo, it is escalated, he was misused in this situation. by this group of people and that is what happened. i cannot be angry with him or upset because it was not his fault. he went out to celebrate with my fans and that's it, that's all that happened. and the reply to south africa's 298

son always wanted to be famous and she did not know this is what he meant which is not what he meant but he is now famous for a very bad reason and through the lawyers, the family wants to make changes as a result, to be its legacy and they want a law passed which will require police officers to intervene if they see their colleagues doing something they believe is a crime and they also want the police force to disband the special crimes unit of which these five officers were part. there has been a rise in crime in the city of recent years, the special crime units will deal with that but they said that the family thing that this this is the result that has to be stopped and focused on community policing. another of the lawyers starts with the swift justice that we're seeing that the five officers have been fired

quickly and levelled fairly quickly which this i was a good thing but this should be the blueprint for to treat other cases that also involves why police officers that they should also be held accountable as quickly. we are expecting the body can footage to be released in the next few hours and officials are concerned by what the reaction will be, aren't they? is. concerned by what the reaction will be. aren't they?— be, aren't they? is, they are the been talking _ be, aren't they? is, they are the been talking about _ be, aren't they? is, they are the been talking about for _ be, aren't they? is, they are the been talking about for several i be, aren't they? is, they are the i been talking about for several days and that is effective that it think it's right they're putting so quickly to get things sorted and onto interviews many people as possible and pursue the the investigation and get the indictments levelled in the charges through and before the video was seen because there would be protests of people calling for things to be done. people will be quite upset enough already. we are from the family and those who have seen the video that it is quite shocking and

that the five police officers are shown beating tyre nichols quite brutally and is calling for his mother and that it's really quite difficult to watch. and so, people say they are to be transparent to release them but they want people to respond in a peaceful manner releasing it later in the evening and so they want to do it after school is out and people are home from work and kiss their protests in the streets. from work and kiss their protests in the streets-— from work and kiss their protests in the streets. , ., . ., the streets. remember the reaction to the murder— the streets. remember the reaction to the murder of _ the streets. remember the reaction to the murder of george _ the streets. remember the reaction to the murder of george floyd - the streets. remember the reaction to the murder of george floyd and l to the murder of george floyd and the protests that followed that, the difference is that the police officers are black but a lot of the family members and the spokespeople for them are talking about a culture of police brutality and a common denominator is that the victim is black and they're saying that the treatment of white people when it comes to something like a traffic stop is different to the way they

killed and several other people have been wounded, some of them seriously. we'll bring you more information on that will be have it. thank you very much for watching. hello. lots of settled weather to see out the week. that's how we'll start the weekend. settled conditions not as widespread by sunday, as we'll see in a moment. it's not wall to wall blue sky, even though most places are dry. just a few spots getting to see some occasional sunshine today. that will be the story as well for saturday, depending, really, on where you are in relation to this weatherfront, which is now bringing some outbreaks of rain through scotland and into the night into northern ireland, reaching the far north of england later in the night, though it is tending to weaken all the while. now, skies behind that clear in scotland. you may get a few pockets of frost, but it's not as cold or as frosty as it was last night. ahead of the weather front, although there are some areas of cloud, there'll be clear spells,

too, and any prolonged clear weather will allow frost to form, which will be more widespread across england. and some rural spots in southern england could get down to “4, maybe —5. a few fog patches to begin the day. now, for much of wales and england, it's a story of a lot of cloud again, a few sunny spells here and there, but we've still got that weather front moving out of northern england, into more of wales and the midlands, delivering a bit of patchy drizzle here and there, whereas northern counties of northern england brighten up. and for northern ireland and scotland, here, it's the case of quite a bit of sunny spells around, just the odd shower in northern scotland, and not much difference in that temperature from north to south across the uk. now, as we go into sunday, that weather front clears away. southern areas, again,

hardly any rain left on that. another area of low pressure approaches close to scotland, and this one is more vigorous in nature and the winds will pick up as well. now, breezier across the board. northern scotland, though, with gales, and we may well see some gusts in the northern isles in excess of 60 miles an hour, with an area of rain moving south through scotland, northern ireland. increasing cloud, northern and western england and wales. may produce some drizzle. brighter skies, east anglia and the southeast, and temperatures up on sunday by a couple of degrees, more places just getting into double figures. this weather front, another one that weakens, moving south overnight sunday night. following on in scotland overnight, sunday night, there will be wintry showers, more snow to come in the hills. and then by tuesday, there's another low pressure system moving in, and this one may well produce even stronger winds in northern scotland with a risk of disruption out of those. that's one to watch. it is northern areas most likely to have the windiest and occasionally wet weather in the weekend. the further south you are, though not completely dry, it'll stay reasonably settled and mild.

this is bbc news. the headlines: lawyers for the family of tyre nichols — the black man who died after he was stopped for an alleged traffic violation in the state of tennessee — say the police culture in the us killed him. five officers each face multiple charges, including murder. seven people are reported to have been killed at a synagogue injerusalem. israel's ambulance service says that ten more people have been wounded. israeli police have described the shooting as a terror attack. people in auckland, new zealand's largest city, have had to evacuate their homes as heavy rains caused major flooding in some parts of the city. auckland's mayor declared a state of emergency on friday, as rising floodwaters left streets and homes swamped. events are taking place to mark international holocaust memorial day. held on the anniversary
