the familiar rallying cry heard too often after incidents of police brutality. memphis�*s worst fears never materialised, as protesters remained peaceful. a considered effort by city officials to deliver swiftjustice for tyre nichols seems to have worked. small—scale demonstrations took place across the country — from new york to detroit and los angeles — mostly calm, just as the family wanted. five black officers have been charged with murder in the death of tyre nichols, in no small part due to the existence of these extremely graphic videos. the officers aggressively approach his car after a traffic stop. taken aback, the 29—year—old black motorist is heard protesting his innocence. i didn't do anything! he seems to comply... i'm on the ground. ..but as this encounter continues, mr nichols breaks away and flees. when they find him, they repeatedly

kick him in the head, strike him with a baton and punch him. in distress, he calls out for his mother. tyre nichols was ultimately taken to the hospital in a critical condition and died three days later from his injuries. today in memphis, people again took to the streets, deeply affected by what they saw in the video. this is horrific. we are traumatised by it. but i applaud the city and the people here today who have gone about trying to correct this in an orderly way. this is an attack on human rights, this is an attack on the rights of black americans. and, you know, this shows the true nature of policing. the mood here today is sombre. additional rallies are planned for later, where grief counsellors will be on hand for residents. and accountability is still key. in fact, after the video's release, the shelby county sheriff announced two other deputies who responded to this scene have now

been relieved of duty. how can you look at that footage and not want to do something? at a press conference saturday, state lawmakers said they plan to introduce legislation aimed at police training. if a dog in this country was beaten like that, what the hell would happen? you all know what would happen. if the dog is beaten like that, somebody�*s going to jail. now you got a man that's dead. these disturbing videos have reignited concerns about the culture of policing in america. the need for police reform is once again at the forefront of people's minds. let's go live to memphis and to our north america correspondent barbara plett usher with more on this. ifi if i can pick up on that news we had true in the last hour about the scorpion unit, which had these officers which belongs to the scorpion unit, this has been disbanded. tell us a little bit more about that. , ., �* ,

disbanded. so that's quite welcome news for the people who had been attending rallies today. that is one of the things they have been demanding amongst other things on police reform. also the family has been calling for that and one of their lawyers, the civil rights lawyer benjamin crump, has welcomed the action, and he said they should also take place in other cities which have similar units. flan also take place in other cities which have similar units. can you tell us a bit _ which have similar units. can you tell us a bit more _ which have similar units. can you tell us a bit more about - which have similar units. can you tell us a bit more about what - which have similar units. can you tell us a bit more about what the j tell us a bit more about what the politicians have been talking about, in terms of what they want to see? you mentioned the police training, but in terms of what change they want to see?— but in terms of what change they want to see? , ., , ., ., want to see? yes, a number of local oliticians want to see? yes, a number of local politicians involved _ want to see? yes, a number of local politicians involved in _ want to see? yes, a number of local politicians involved in the _ want to see? yes, a number of local politicians involved in the state - politicians involved in the state legislature gave a press commerce this morning from the democratic party and they said that they were going to propose or introduce legislation on police reform in the state legislature. they were a bit vague on the details of exactly what it would entail, but they were looking at things like bias, training, and that sort of thing,

and they said that they felt they might be able to get support of the republicans who have the majority in the state legislature, because of the state legislature, because of the horrific images in the footage, so they want to push forward with some kind of legislation. they said that would legislate you minutes into the police force. and there is, as nada was reporting of a new attention on police reform. that was attention on police reform. that was a big topic after the killing of george floyd in 2020, and some steps were taken them to try and restrict the use of force of the are talking a lot more... they did that but are now about the whole culture of how police are trained, the bias there might be in the force, and looking at whether that can be addressed. 0k, thank you for now, barbara plett usherfor us 0k, thank you for now, barbara plett usher for us live 0k, thank you for now, barbara plett usherfor us live in memphis.

joining us now from st louis is seft hunter. he's the director of black—led organising at community change, a civil society organisation in the united states. hello to you, and you are just listening to what barbara was saying there. what is your reaction to the way things are being handled in memphis at the moment? yes. way things are being handled in memphis at the moment? yes, thank ou so memphis at the moment? yes, thank you so much — memphis at the moment? yes, thank you so much for— memphis at the moment? yes, thank you so much for having _ memphis at the moment? yes, thank you so much for having me, - memphis at the moment? yes, thank you so much for having me, and - you so much for having me, and certainly i think what we saw in this case is much more swift action then we have seen in other cases, right? and in part, in previous cases, often times what happened is a level of secrecy is maintained, sometimes for weeks or months, certainly the officers are rarely fired this quickly, and part of what we see in this case is that municipalities can act more quickly than often times we see in other cases, and soak in part, like, this actually should set a standard of accountability, it should not be dragged out as we have seen in other cases. some families are waiting for months and weeks without even seeing the footage, and certainly we are

waiting sometimes months or even years before accountability is ever introduced in these cases, and so definitely what we are seeing in this case is much more swift action, and i think in many ways it should set a standard for the level of accountability that we see when police stepped outside the lines the more they deny the amenity of citizens, red, and this is excellent welcome news —— when they deny the humanity. welcome news -- when they deny the humani . ., , ., welcome news -- when they deny the humani . . , ., ., , ., humanity. that is what the family of t re humanity. that is what the family of tyre nichols — humanity. that is what the family of tyre nichols were _ humanity. that is what the family of tyre nichols were saying _ humanity. that is what the family of tyre nichols were saying yesterday, | tyre nichols were saying yesterday, that he should act any blueprint for other cases, and was almost implied that it would be, they wanted to see the when these were cases with white officers involved with a black victim, they wanted to see such swift action as well. is there... how do you feel on that front? you think there is anything behind that sort of implication there?- think there is anything behind that sort of implication there? yeah, and i would have — sort of implication there? yeah, and i would have to _ sort of implication there? yeah, and i would have to take _ sort of implication there? yeah, and i would have to take a _ sort of implication there? yeah, and i would have to take a step - sort of implication there? yeah, and i would have to take a step back, . i would have to take a step back, because we know that there is a

culture of secrecy that exists around police. we saw in this video five officers denying the humanity of tyre nichols, and in many ways we have to assume they thought that there would be no account ability for them, they thought they could action take these actions with impunity, and i think that offers an interesting view into the culture of police, and in essence, when you look at what police believe that they are able to do and how they are able to act on the level of violence that they are able to impose on citizens for routine traffic stops, that has to be something that is aptly considered here. it is impossible, it is impossible to over overlooked the level of humanity denied tyre in this case. it was reported it was roughly around 80 yards from his home, part of his last words was him crying out for his mother, and that to me as a new father, that is just the most

haunting, the most horrifying example of what it means to be denied one's humanity. when you look at the video, you hear the officers checking on each other after beating tyre for three whole minutes. they are offering each other eyewash, they are asking each other, have you found your eyeglasses, so the level of humanity that they've extended themselves, did not seem to extend to tyre in what is described as a routine traffic stop. that to me has to be sending that is really in this conversation. what is impossible to overlook is that the culture of modern—day policing, certainly in the united states, is characterised by aggression and violence, and that is on incredible display for all to see in this case.— is on incredible display for all to see in this case. another thing that the family were _ see in this case. another thing that the family were asking _ see in this case. another thing that the family were asking for - see in this case. another thing that the family were asking for is - see in this case. another thing that the family were asking for is a - see in this case. another thing that the family were asking for is a kind| the family were asking for is a kind of tyre's law, to make police officers feel compelled to have a duty to intervene if they saw another officer acting in a way that

would be construed as officer misconduct. is that realistic? is that something that could be achieved? i that something that could be achieved?— that something that could be achieved? i don't know if you recall, achieved? i don't know if you recall. but — achieved? i don't know if you recall, but the _ achieved? i don't know if you recall, but the circumstancesj achieved? i don't know if you i recall, but the circumstances in most recent cases that involve multiple officers acting together to harm and ultimately kill, citizens, it was very similar circumstances. while i think it is... we certainly want to list to the family in this case and we understand they must be grieving in unmistakable ways at the loss of their loved one, but the death reflects the structure of policing itself must change. i am here in st louis where, just over a decade ago, michael brown was killed under similar circumstances. 0ne michael brown was killed under similar circumstances. one of the cases that actually thrusted the issue into the spotlight over the last decades. some of the same

reforms we were calling for, at that same time, we have seen, others, we have not. what this remind us of is the structure of policing itself must change. we know it is not the kind of bad apple and the bad cops, it is the structure itself. the structure itself must be disrupted and certainly calling for a kind ability for specific actions, treating a culture where police are prompted to nick about their actions are important, but i do think that reforms must be structural, because anything short of that would lead us to this moment yet again. of that would lead us to this moment et aaain. ., ~ of that would lead us to this moment etaaain. ., ~ , . yet again. 0k, thank you very much for talkin: yet again. 0k, thank you very much for talking to _ yet again. 0k, thank you very much for talking to us. _ yet again. 0k, thank you very much for talking to us. seft _ yet again. ok, thank you very much for talking to us. seft hunter- yet again. 0k, thank you very much for talking to us. seft hunter from i for talking to us. seft hunter from community change. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has promised a "strong, swift and precise" response to an attack by a palestinian gunman outside a synagogue that killed seven people and injured many others. it happened yesterday in a jewish settlement in occupied eastjerusalem and came amid rising tensions in the region.

today, two israelis were shot and injured close to the old city by a 13—year—old boy. here's our middle east correspondent, yolande knell. another victim of a jerusalem shooting being treated by medics. an israeli father and son were injured in a new attack this morning. the suspect is just 13. he's said to be the relative of another teenager shot dead by israeli forces this week. meanwhile, this was the scene of yesterday's shooting attack — the deadliest israelis have seen in years. here, a palestinian gunman opened fire after prayers in a packed synagogue at the start of the jewish sabbath. as people rushed over to those injured, one witness said they were shot too. translation: a guy stopped here to help them. _ he went out of his car and was hit by a bullet in his head. he died here, next to me, and his son was hit by a bullet in his back. after police shot dead the attacker,

israeli politicians were quick to visit the scene. the veteran prime minister benjamin netanyahu has since promised to take immediate action. translation: iwill submit to the security council - additional steps in the fight against terrorism. this includes significantly hastening and expediting the licensing of weapons for authorised civilians. as we have seen time and again, this saves lives. 0n the streets ofjerusalem tonight, emotions are running high. the israelis stopped cars in palestinian neighbourhoods, here shouting "arabs, beware, hebrew blood isn't cheap." tensions had risen sharply after the deadliest israeli military raid in the occupied west bank in years. on thursday, nine palestinians, including two civilians, were killed. the israeli armed forces say they were acting on intelligence

to prevent islamichhad fighters carrying out major attacks. in response, palestinian militants fired rockets from the gaza strip. in recent months, amid rising violence, there have been repeated international calls for calm here. but they've had little impact. and now, once again, fears are growing of wider unrest. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. a 15—year—old girl has died after being stabbed in northumberland. the attack happened late yesterday afternoon on a street in hexham. a 16—year—old boy was also taken to hospital, but his injuries aren't thought to be life threatening. northumbria police say another 16—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder. 0ur reporter peter harris gave us this update from hexham. flowers and tributes have been building here through the day at the spot where the police were called yesterday to those reports of a 15—year—old girl and a 16—year—old boy having been stabbed. now, sadly, we now know the girl has subsequently died in hospital.

her family, as you might expect, are said to be devastated beyond words, and earlier, we heard this from northumbria police. this is a devastating time for the families of these young people, and what is really important is that we continue to provide that specialist support and advice by our specially trained officers to make sure they get through the coming days, weeks and months. that this could happen here in this normally quiet northumberland market town, perhaps an illustration that this could happen anywhere. the mayor of the town here said that this has shocked the whole community — a loving community, he said — and knocked everybody here for six. now, tonight, to reiterate — a 16—year—old boy is still in custody, held on suspicion of murder. peter harris there. the former prime minister borisjohnson was reportedly told to stop asking richard sharp

chairman, but as far as richard sharp was concerned, he had said at the time, when this story first broke a week ago, that his role has dimly been to introduce a wealthy canadian businessman to the country's most senior civil servant to discuss how he could assist the prime minister financially. to discuss how he could assist the prime ministerfinancially. he had no knowledge, he said, of the financial arrangements, and in a letter to bbc staff, he said he did not guarantee any loans himself and he did not get involved in any financing, although mr blythe did guaranteeing although mr blythe did guaranteeing a loan of £800,000. following the leaking of this memo, mr sharp's position has not changed. he is saying he was not a financial adviser divorced johnson in any way, adviser divorced johnson in any way, a former banker. borisjohnson's spokesperson also saying he never sought nor received any financial advice from mr sharp. as for the cabinet office themselves, where

i went on to an alternative airline and they still had fights for tomorrow, so i was able to book straight onto an alternative flight back to newcastle for tomorrow. in the back of my mind, it's kind of like, what if i hadn't been able to get a flight back? it's my mum's funeral next week and it's, like, how would i have got back? it would have been a lot of extra stress if i had to fly to a different location and then make my way back up to newcastle to get home. in total, around 75,000 people will have flights cancelled. some say they didn't even find out until they turned up at the airport. we don't even know... we didn't receive any notification, so, yeah. we checked in already, so it's really sad. this is the second time flybe has gone into administration. it first collapsed in march 2020. air travel has rebounded since the height of the pandemic, but the airline faced specific problems, including the late delivery of 17 aircraft which it needed for its schedule. the civil aviation authority said it would provide advice to those affected.

passengers have been told to check that travel insurance policies and to see if they can get their money back from their credit card providers. iyou will ultimately be able to claim | back the money from the card issuer with which you bought the ticket. 0r indeed, you could talk to your travel agent, - if you booked through them. but right now, you have a problem. the caa says you're going to have l to find an alternative flight or, l indeed, a train or a coach that will be able to get you - to your destination. british airways, easyjet and ryanair have offered special fares for flybe customers. the train company lner is also allowing them to travel free on their services this weekend. flybe employed 321 people at belfast airport, birmingham airport and other sites. 277 have now been made redundant. the government says its immediate priority is to support those flybe staff who've lost their jobs, as well as anyone trying to get home. noor nanji, bbc news. new zealand's largest city has

declared a state of emergency after torrential rain prompted widespread flooding and evacuations. at least three people have died and more than 100 have been rescued from flooded cars and homes in auckland. friday's downpour damaged houses, stalled traffic and cut power to homes and businesses. naomi choi smith reports. roads turned to rivers and homes submerged as rising floodwaters left entire communities in auckland under water. the water was up to my neck when i went out of the house. i've been in this community my whole life, 45 years. i've never seen it like this. new zealand's prime minister viewed the damage from above. plunged straight into his first major crisis just a few days into his new role, chris hipkins called the flooding unprecedented. the met service has confirmed that yesterday was auckland's wettest day on record, and having just surveyed some of the extensive damage both on the ground and in the air, it's clear it's going to be

a big clean—up job. meteorologists say roughly an entire summer's worth of rain fell in just a few hours. cutting off power and forcing big events like an eltonjohn concert to be cancelled last minute. nearly 2,000 passengers were stranded at auckland's airport after ankle—deep water flooded the international terminal. the chaos prompted questions about the country's response and whether it's prepared for the challenges posed by new climate patterns. it goes without saying that we need to have a conversation about how climate change is making these events more frequent and how cities like auckland are massively underprepared to deal with flooding events which are going to become more frequent. hundreds of people have been rescued from flooded cars and homes as the rain shows no sign of slowing down.

and if you want to get in touch with me and the team, we are on twitter. thanks for watching, bye—bye. hello. after an uneventful first half of the weekend weather—wise, sunday does look set to bring something a little livelier, with some stronger winds and some outbreaks of rain for some, particularly across the northern half of the uk. the reason — an area of low pressure pushing to the north of scotland, this frontal system which will eventually bring some outbreaks of rain. and plenty of isobars on the chart. that always shows that we will have some brisk winds. so a breezier day, really, across the board. a lot of cloud to start off in the south of england and south wales. some of that will break up, and actually for england and wales, we will see some spells of sunshine through the day. but winds really picking up across parts of northern england, particularly gusty conditions over the pennines and just to the east of the pennines as well. rather windy for this north coast of northern ireland and more

broadly across scotland. strongest winds of all in the far north of scotland, gusting to 65 miles per hour. and this band of rain here pushing its way southwards and eastwards. but just ahead of that, a particularly mild feel, 12 or 13 degrees in parts of eastern scotland, and actually a fairly mild day generally. now, as we go through sunday night, we'll push this band of cloud and rain southwards. much of the rain will fizzle. behind it, a mix of clear spells and showers with some slightly colder air tucking in. some of the showers could be wintry over high ground in scotland. it probably will be too windy for us to see anything much, though, in the way of frost. and then into monday, we see this little bump in the isobars here, this little ridge of high pressure building its way in. so that means, actually, plenty of dry weather, some spells of sunshine. those early showers in the north—east should tend to ease off, but we will bring more cloud in from the west as the day wears on. a little bit of rain with that, temperatures of 8, 9 or 10 degrees. now, as we look ahead to tuesday, we will see some spells of sunshine. but particularly through northern england, northern ireland

and scotland, there will be some showers, these falling as sleet or snow over high ground, but perhaps even to low levels in parts of scotland, where the winds will once again be strengthening. very gusty conditions the further north you are through tuesday afternoon. temperatures north to south, 7 to 12 degrees. and then as we head into tuesday night, well, there's uncertainty about the detail of this, but we could well see a really deep area of low pressure pushing close to the north of scotland. and that could bring some very windy, even stormy, conditions for some, particularly in the far north.
