welcome to bbc news — i'm monika plaha. our top stories: police video footage of the arrest that led to the death of tyre nichols has been released. i have never seen the video but what i have heard is very horrific. very horrific. israeli police say at least seven people have been killed in a mass shooting at a synagogue in east jerusalem. and a state of emergency is declared in new zealand — after two people are killed in severe flooding in auckland.

welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. police video showing five officers in memphis, tennessee viciously beating a black motorist has been released. tyre nichols died three days later amd the officers — who are all black — each face multiple charges including murder. his family say the video shows him being kicked like a football. the bbc is reviewing the footage — some of it is very graphic and too distressing for broadcast. this is what we will show you — the first few seconds of the initial dash cam footage. we won't show any more than this clip at this time, as we still continue to review it. president biden has appealed for calm in the city and beyond amid fears the video could spark protests. he said america's image around the world was on the line.

what the world was on the line. is at stake is, first of all, what is at stake is, first of all, the lives of innocent people, number one. number it known, that make number two it has a lot to say about america, a lot to do with whether or not we are the country we say we are, a country of law and order and means by which we can peacefully protest and let the courts make the judgement. some people have taken to the streets tonight in the us. this was the scene in the capital washington dc a short time ago as crowds march demanding justice for tyre. there are protests in memphis too, the city where tyre was killed, our correspondent barbara plett usher is there. i am standing at the intersection because i was walking with a number of protesters going down the street and stopping traffic. they have not seen the video

because they began before it was released but they clearly felt this case was part of a larger struggle against police brutality especially against black people. they were carrying signs demanding an end to police terror. the video is difficult to watch. you see the officers being very aggressive with tyre nichols they are using expletives and fire what appears to be a taser towards him. they pull out a baton and beat him with it. he is also calling out for them to stop, and calling out for his mother a number of times, at one point a piercing shriek. the camera turns towards him and you see his face is bloodied and he in great distress. there is a lot of footage,

about an hour of footage from a number of different cameras. it is quite distressing and i believe you have been speaking to the mother who has said that no mother should experience what she is going through. what more did the mother of tyre nichols say and what is the family response? i asked her why she had not watched the video. she said several times she could not bring herself to watch it. she said she knows what happens to her son. his neck was broken, she saw him in the hospital, his face was swollen, she did not need to see the video to know that he was dead although she urged parents to not let their children see the video. i asked about her response to the fact that the five officers who killed her son were also black and she said it is not about the colour whether they are black, purple, white or whatever, it is the fact that you have police behaving badly. this is about police

conduct not about race if it is about the race, it is about the race of the victim not the race of the police officer carrying out the excessive use of force. she also told me that president biden called her and gave her his condolences and said he would do whatever he could to try to make a change in issues like this. greg donaldson is an associate professor investment professor who teaches nypd officers at executive level and has written extensively on policing tactics. . , tactics. he gave me his reaction _ tactics. he gave me his reaction to _ tactics. he gave me his reaction to the - tactics. he gave me his reaction to the release | tactics. he gave me his. reaction to the release of tactics. he gave me his- reaction to the release of the footage. i watched the video and it was appalling. it was incomprehensible from beginning to end, from the car stop, the state of agitation of the police when they pulled the car over, to the pursuit, to the lack of training and lack of strategy in containing and subduing the person they had stopped and then

the anger that they received as their incompetence. even the fact that during the foot pursuit they were all completely out of breath and poorly trained from a to z, and it was awful to watch. now let's hear some reaction from the community in memphis. we can now speak to reverend jason lawrence turner of the mississippi boulevard christian church. thank you forjoining in place. what has been the community reaction to this?— reaction to this? there has been a sense _ reaction to this? there has been a sense of— reaction to this? there has been a sense of outrage i reaction to this? there has been a sense of outrage in| reaction to this? there has - been a sense of outrage in the community. we heard descriptions four days of what could possibly see on this video but what we just

that we would channel our rage and frustration into being constructive and seeking justice for tyre and his family and that we will participate in the democratic process and work towards dismantling the police culture that normalised this kind of brutality. i culture that normalised this kind of brutality.— kind of brutality. i believe that your _ kind of brutality. i believe that your church - kind of brutality. i believe that your church is - kind of brutality. i believe | that your church is carrying out the funeral for tyre nichols. how are you preparing for that? ., ., , for that? there are logistical concerns _ for that? there are logistical concerns but _ for that? there are logistical concerns but the _ for that? there are logistical concerns but the service - for that? there are logistical concerns but the service is i for that? there are logistical l concerns but the service is one that we hope will be a healing balm for his family and for the community and the nation who have to lolo —— who have too often witnessed heinous acts of violence by law officials. we want to make the service as much as possible a celebration of the life tyre of but also be

this is baby that led to the death of tyre nicholls has been released. this is the scene live from new york. 7 clinic seven people have been shot dead at a synagogue in east jerusalem. a 14—year—old boy is among the dead and a number of other people were wounded. police said the attacker was killed by the security forces as he fled the scene. tensions have been high since nine palestinians — both militants and civilians — were killed during an israeli military raid injenin in the occupied west bank on thursday. it was one of the deadliest raids in years. the us and uk have condemned the synagogue shooting. our middle east correspondent tom bateman reports from east jerusalem. they came to pray as thejewish sabbath had just got under way. tonight, police are counting their bodies in the street. security forces say the gunman arrived at the synagogue

and opened fire. some people were hit in the panic to get out, say witnesses, before the attacker managed to escape and drove off. and then, the security forces shot him. this is just a few metres from where the shooting took place, close to the synagogue. forensics teams and police now looking at this car. you can clearly see the bullet holes on the driver's side. witnesses told the bbc the driver then managed to get out and run before being shot dead. translation: i heard shots, there were flashes and then, | i saw a car here open, body of the terrorist down. he yelled, "allahu akbar". there's no security in the streets. we need to go down and find these terrorists, ruin their houses, take them out of israel. at the scene, the head of the jerusalem police said the attack was one of the worst israel has seen in years. translation: the attacker

is a resident of east - jerusalem. we are completing operations at the scene. right now, unfortunately, we are talking about seven people killed and another three seriously wounded. as the wounded are taken to hospital, police have closed off nearby areas, searching to see if anyone else is involved. a deadly attack on a jerusalem synagogue as the world marks international holocaust memorial day. siren wails. it comes as tensions flare in the region. yesterday, nine palestinians were killed by israeli forces during a raid intojenin refugee camp in the occupied west bank. the dead included militants and at least two civilians, according to health officials. israel said it had acted on intelligence of imminent attacks by islamichhad, a palestinian militant group, calling it a counterterror operation. in the aftermath, the group vowed to respond. several rockets were fired

overnight from the gaza strip, shot down by israel, which then launched air strikes on a base operated by hamas. the escalating violence follows the most deadly period in years in israel and the west bank as security forces start to piece together who was behind tonight's deadly attack. tom bateman, bbc news, jerusalem. i asked dr sara yael hirschhorn, a political analyst and historian, how worrying the increasing tensions between israel and the palestinians are. i am very worried because we are seeing a deterioration of the security climate and the cycle of violence continuing in israel proper, as well as in the occupied palestinian territories. they could certainly devolve into a new intifada or some other kind of massive escalation of intracommunal

violence that we saw only two years ago in may 2020, so i think we are in a very precipitous and possibly dangerous moment. we know tensions have been high over the past day or so. nine palestinians were killed in the israeli raid onjenin. why are tensions escalating so much now? well, i think that these most recent attacks come after a long several months of increasing tensions in the west bank, particularly in the city ofjenin that has seen many, many incursions by the israeli defense forces, the idf, in what they call "counterterror attacks". you might remember several months ago the death of shireen abu aqla, the palestinian journalist, who was caught in crossfire in one of these raids. so, these tensions in the west bank have been simmering for many months and the new elections in israel brought in the most far—right government in israeli history which has also seen a deterioration in relationship between palestinian authority and the state of israel, so i think it's no surprise that these attacks are coming now after so many months of tension and concern.

and many world leaders have condemned the attacks, including the us and uk. just tell us more about the international reaction to all of this. well, i think it is a very poignant moment that this attack came on the tail end of international holocaust remembrance day, which is being commemorated around the world. i think the international community is extremely concerned about the rising tide of violence that could possibly , as we just spoke about, escalate further into a more widespread event. jake sullivan, the national security adviser from the united states, was on the ground last week in israel and palestine to try and resolve some concerns, bothjordan and egypt have been involved in quite intensive, if quiet, diplomacy behind the scenes, and i think the international community would really like to see some form of de—escalation, if it seems very unlikely that the leaders in israel and palestine will return to any kind of negotiating table any time soon. and the israeli government are saying there will be a proper security assessment now and benjamin netanyahu

will visit the site himself. —— he visited the site himself. what happens now? i think benjamin netanyahu himself is in quite a quandary. he appeared at the scene, calling for calm and for tensions to be resolved. meanwhile, some of his other coalition members from the far—right parties, and particularly the new national security minister, have called openly in the wake of these attacks for arming israeli citizens. and other members of his party made what are considered very racist and xenophobic comments about the attacks injenin and about the killing of militants in the occupied territories, so, i think netanyahu is going to find himself in a difficult situation in trying to restrain some members of his own coalition who would like to capitalise on these events to spread their political message and to advance their political agenda, and hopefully it will not lead to a further escalation of tensions.

a british teenager has been sentenced to 11.5 years in prison for producing far—right extremist videos that influenced two mass killings in the us. daniel harris, who's 19 and from derbyshire, posted racist and homophobic content online. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports. in the rural setting of the derbyshire market town of glossop, a teenage boy was producing what the judge called today "a stream of right—wing terrorist bile". the judge said daniel harris was highly dangerous as he sentenced him to 11.5 years in a young offenders institution. harris had been out of school since the age of seven and, from his grandparents' home, he produced a video describing brenton tarrant, who murdered 51 people in two mosques in new zealand, as an "australian saint". when a racist attack on the tops supermarket

in buffalo in new york state last may left ten people dead, it emerged that the 18—year—old killer payton gendron had been watching and sharing videos produced by harris in derbyshire. the judge said today that harris had been encouraging people to commit mass murder. we have watched through this video, but we won't show it. in it, daniel harris has edited together people firing home—made 3d—printed weapons. he describes non—white people as "invaders" and says protest is pointless. instead, he calls for acts of terror and endless unadulterated, ceaseless violence. harris even tried to produce his own 3d—printed semi—automatic gun. he failed, but detectives have no doubt about the damage his videos did. his provocative and inflammatory films were potentially radicalising other people. i hope this story and the lengthy sentence acts as a deterrent to anyone else considering treading a similar path.

the chief suspect in the killings at an lgbt nightclub in colorado springs in november had also watched one of harris's videos glorifying extreme right—wing mass murderers. daniel sandford, bbc news. in new zealand, two people have died as flooding has caused widespread damage and landslips. a week—long state of emergency has been declared in auckland. many international flights have been cancelled. meteorologists say around an entire summer's worth of rain fell in just a few hours and the deluge will continue for the next few days. it is one of the world's oldest and most famous roads, the appian way. built in the fourth century bc, it stretches more than 500km between rome and the port city of brindisi. now, the italian government want it to be declared a world heritage site. the bbc�*s tim allman explains.

you can say this for the romans, they certainly knew how to build in a straight line. this is the via appian all the appian way, sometimes called the queen of roads. one of the most important thoroughfares to what was once the capital of an empire. so there are plenty around here who believe it deserves some official recognition. translation: the - ro osal recognition. translation: the proposal to _ recognition. translation: tie; proposal to add recognition. translation: tia: proposal to add it recognition. translation: tue: proposal to add it to the unesco world heritage list has already been signed by the minister of culture and i believe that due to the body of documentation produced, it will be accepted. the documentation produced, it will be accepted-— be accepted. the appian way rovided be accepted. the appian way provided a — be accepted. the appian way provided a gateway _ be accepted. the appian way provided a gateway to - be accepted. the appian way provided a gateway to the - provided a gateway to the eastern mediterranean. merchants, soldiers, politicians, all would have passed along these cobbled stones. parts of the road are

later and the officers who are all black, each face multiple charges, including murder. we will bring you more on that when we have it. hello. the weekend is getting off to a relatively tranquil, sedate start in most places. it won't stay that way for all of us. something livelier heading to the north of the uk by sunday but for saturday, largely dry with some sunshine, some quite large areas of cloud around as well. in fact, we've got this stripe of cloud pushing its way southwards out of northern ireland and southern scotland, down across northern england into the north midlands and parts of wales through the afternoon. and with that, there mayjust be the odd spot of drizzle. to the south of that, some early fog giving way to limited sunny spells, some quite large areas of cloud. best of the sunshine for northern ireland and for scotland, albeit with some showers in the west of scotland and temperatures of seven or eight degrees. now, during saturday night, we will see this area of cloud

sinking further south across wales, central and southern parts of england, again with the odd spot of drizzle. further north, there'll be some patchy clouds, some clear spells, most places probably avoiding a frost. we mayjust see a touch of frost in one or two locations. into sunday, high pressure keeps things relatively calm in the south but this frontal system is going to change things in the north of the uk. a lot of low clouds and mistiness around southern parts to start sunday morning, then we'll see some spells of sunshine. but from northern england northwards through the afternoon, it is going to turn really very windy, particularly gusty conditions to the eastern side of the pennines, around the coasts of northern ireland and in some exposed parts of the north of scotland, we will see gusts of 65 mph or more with this band of rain pushing its way southwards. but just ahead of that rain band, it's going to be very mild indeed — 12 degrees for a time there in aberdeen and a mild day generally for most of us. now, into monday, we will have a brisk north or north—westerly wind blowing into these north—eastern parts of the country, so feeling a little bit chilly here.

but behind that, we see a ridge of high pressure building, some dry weather, some spells of sunshine, temperatures between 7—10 degrees. but let me show you what might happen with our weather as we move out of monday into tuesday because this deep area of low pressure is expected to move close to the north of scotland. and depending onjust how deep this low ends up being, well, we could see some very strong winds indeed. so, it could be that through the first half of next week, things turn livelier still in the north of the uk, staying calmer further south.
