regular stop. that's something that the family has been responding to. more broadly, there is an issue of police reform and excessive use of force in regular police stop. there's new attention in terms of how that can be addressed more broadly. the focus today was the hearing on the file that will be followinu. . ~ hearing on the file that will be followinu. ., ~ , ., hearing on the file that will be followinu. . ~' , ., , . we'll even cross that process in tennessee. we're going to relay few

time to come. if you want out, we will let you know. our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds, reports. david smith, a fan of war memorabilia, a security guard at the british embassy in berlin, and a spy for russia. motivated by a hatred of britain and sympathy for vladimir putin. secret cameras installed by police and mi5 helped convict him. here he's filming pictures captured by the embassy�*s cctv system. sentencing him, thejudge, mrjustice wall, said he'd betrayed the trust placed in him,

betrayed his country and his colleagues. you put all of those staff at increased risk of harm. they had to be told that their security had been compromised in this way and the level of danger caused by your actions then had to be managed. it has caused some of the people involved and their families understandable anxiety and distress. the investigation started with a letter he sent to a general here at the russian embassy. highly sensitive information, including details of british highly sensitive information, including details of british officials in berlin, security passes and documents. and then, mi5 set up a sting operation. smith was told that a mysterious russian called dmitry was coming to the embassy for a meeting. he was asked to photocopy some documents. it seemed as though a russian defector was about to spill his country's secrets to the uk. but dmitry was working for the met and mi5 and smith fell for it.

those supposedly secret documents — they were nothing of the sort — were later found in smith's locker. and the covert camera captured smith taking pictures of dmitry from the cctv system. if he works at the embassy, they must recognise him. then another hidden capture camera captured smith meeting a second fake russian sent by mi5. irina pretended to want his help in identifying defectors. smith met her the next day. he was arrested, his locker at the embassy searched, along with his home. police found documents and videos filmed inside the building, and money. smith spied for cash and a hatred of his country. he wasjust a he was just a security guard with no

access to high—level you might regard him as a b list five. the embassy had to review the safety of every single member of staff. the russians learn what effect that might have. the prime minister rishi sunak has been holding talks near belfast with representatives of all the main political parties in northern ireland — amid speculation that the government is close to agreeing a new deal with the eu on post—brexit trading arrangements. the northern ireland protocol allows goods to be transported over the border into the republic of ireland, without checks on the northern side. that means goods are inspected before reaching northern ireland, creating a border here, with the rest of the uk. but the deal has angered unionists, who say they've been cut off from the rest of the uk — and until the protocol is changed,

they've refused to enter into a power—sharing agreement at stormont. in the last few minutes, the dup has said some has been made today, but there is still work to be done. 0ur ireland correspondent, chris page, reports. the prime minister made a trip across the irish sea border, which he's trying to negotiate away. he wants a deal with the eu to help to restore the devolved government in northern ireland. governments in northern ireland. the democratic unionist party says it'll continue to veto power—sharing unless what it views as an economic barrier with the rest of the uk is removed. after meeting rishi sunak, the dup made clear it wasn't softening its position. i have indicated to the prime minister that it is important, fundamentally important, that he agrees the right deal. i want to hear that brussels will stretch itself to recognise the concerns that we have as unionists

and that this process will correct the wrongs of the last negotiations. london and brussels have been negotiating over brexit trading arrangements since 2021. under the current system, goods arriving from great britain are inspected when they arrive at ports in northern ireland to confirm they comply with eu rules. that means they can then be moved on into the republic of ireland, which is in the european union, without any more checks on the land border. it's understood the new plan would bring in what would be known as a green lane for goods arriving in northern ireland and staying there. those products wouldn't be checked. goods which are headed for the republic of ireland would go into a red lane and would be inspected. the non—unionist parties who met the prime minister said they had the sense a deal was close. he was very much in listening mode and came to hear our views. it seems apparent that whilst

he was not in a position to brief us about the detail, that things are gradually moving in the direction of a potential deal. but we are not over the line yet. that doesn't mean that we won't be very soon, but there's clearly some heavy lifting still to be done. we're very, very conscious that a deal can be done, . should now be concluded speedily. we hope that will be the case. and then it's a matter for everyone, for each of the political parties - to step up, get back to work and deliver for people - here in the north of ireland. but one of the most significant

issues for unionists will be whether eu law will still take priority in northern ireland. they say they'll be examining what role the eu's highest court will have in any new agreements. 0ur correspondentjessica parker is in brussel. let's first head to chris. it's a question that everyone answered, how close are the prospects about what point we're at your? prospects about what point we're at our? . , , , , your? there was his visits -- incidences — your? there was his visits -- incidences that _ your? there was his visits -- incidences that a _ your? there was his visits -- incidences that a deal- your? there was his visits -- incidences that a deal is - your? there was his visits -- - incidences that a deal is coming. it isn't quite there yet. for example, there was no draught agreement. all

there was no draught agreement. all the parties so they weren't being given a lot of detail about the prime minister. this was a wider question for ireland. even when the deal is done, how quickly that paved the way for a return to the default governments? the credit party has been vetoing the for more than a year now. sirjeffrey dalton certainly struck a fairly positive stone. if you look at the substance of what he was saying, he was saying that you can't works will still needed to be on to satisfy the party's concern. the details could come in legislation, needed to be brought forward in both london and brussels. that suggests that the

chance of a deal, the publication of video might not be enough to consider going straight back into government. they would need to wait to see what legislation will be needed as well. i think there is little expectation that if there is a deal in the coming days, big moment i would be, is not a sincerely going to be an immediate return to the vault government. we will talk to a different guest about the lack of government there at stormont. significantly, the longest meeting today was with dup? yes. meeting today was with dup? yes, basement the _ meeting today was with dup? yes, basement the longest _ meeting today was with dup? ye: basement the longest length of meeting today was with dup? 123 basement the longest length of time with the prime minister. about 15 minutes each. that does give you an

bit more about the real... as we've mentioned, northern ireland has been without a functioning government for over a year. the dup are boycotting stormont, by blocking the election of a speaker in the assembly — as part of their protest against the protocol arrangements. without a speaker, legislation cannot be passed in northern ireland — including a law that would introduce a new new opt—out organ donation system — known as daithi's law. the law is named after six—year—old daithi, who has been on the list to get a heart transplant for five years. his family have been campaigning for a change in organ donation laws since 2018. i'm joined now by daithi's father, mairtin mac gabhann. so good you could join us. thank you very much. legislation was passed about a year ago. it should be

coming in the next month or two, but we spent all day talking about the stalemate. what goes through your mind when you hear this wrangling? thanks for having us on. last year, daithi's law was passed. it was known as a day where stormont, politics here could actually work. it was just a fantastic... fast forward a year down the road. daithi's law should be coming in as planned. the secondary legislation, which is nothing out of the ordinary, cannot pass now because there's no election of the speaker. we were at stormont last week... sorry, if you'd —— a few days ago.

the feeling compared to last year was incredibly different. it was horrible, to be honest. we should be celebrating the introduction of daithi's law. but now there's just this big question mark over everything and it's a hard decision, because at the same time, we still have our son who is fighting creator his life. ~ .,, �* :, have our son who is fighting creator his life. : �* ., , his life. wasn't a little boy is he? daithi his life. wasn't a little boy is he? dnithi isn't _ his life. wasn't a little boy is he? daithi isn't an _ his life. wasn't a little boy is he? daithi isn't an unbelievable i his life. wasn't a little boy is he? daithi isn't an unbelievable little | daithi isn't an unbelievable little boy. anybody who meets him will tell you the same thing —— daithi is a. he was given a one point... just under 10% chance of survival. he pulled through. every day now that we spend with daithi, we fall in

love with him a wee bit more. the thought of even contemplating losing daithi just breaks my heart. that is why we throw herself into this campaign. it wasn'tjust why we throw herself into this campaign. it wasn't just for daithi's law, it was donation awareness. we realised how powerful he was an individual how powerful his story was. and we jump into the role of politics to change the law. we thought we had achieved that. but we're still fighting a year on. i’m we're still fighting a year on. i'm sor to we're still fighting a year on. i'm sorry to interrupt. are you talk about him and see those gorgeous photos for a long time. do your doctors and nurses, do you still... your son could get this treatment he needs? ~ ,

see the benefits of this law. we need the law in effect as soon as possible so we can start seeing the benefits quicker. {iii possible so we can start seeing the benefits quicker.— benefits quicker. of course. there are any politicians _ benefits quicker. of course. there are any politicians of _ benefits quicker. of course. there are any politicians of any - benefits quicker. of course. there are any politicians of any colour. are any politicians of any colour listening to you say to them? i’zre listening to you say to them? i've made it clear. — listening to you say to them? i've made it clear, it _ listening to you say to them? i�*2 made it clear, it doesn't look listening to you say to them? i"2 made it clear, it doesn't look like they will get this through stormont. i called on our mps and secretary of state. it basically said it time for action. we deserve it, daithi deserve it and our community all deserve it and our community all deserve it. deserve it and our community all deserve it— deserve it. martin, it's a real privilege _ deserve it. martin, it's a real privilege to _ deserve it. martin, it's a real privilege to talk _ deserve it. martin, it's a real privilege to talk to _ deserve it. martin, it's a real privilege to talk to you. i deserve it. martin, it's a real| privilege to talk to you. thank deserve it. martin, it's a real- privilege to talk to you. thank you so much and we wish you and your family all the very best. we hope you get that call and thanks for. thank you. you get that call and thanks for. thank yon-— you get that call and thanks for. thank ou. ., , ., ,

will just pause to take a look at the letter from louise. hello there. some rain to come through this evening and overnight. starting off in northern ireland, and pushing its way steadily eastwards. and as it bumps into that colder air, we could see some snow across the highlands for a time. that will move off into the north sea, but this trailing weather front here will bring a lot of cloud and outbreaks of drizzly rain across central and southern england first thing in the morning. an incredibly mild start to the weekend here — grey, dulland damp, but slowly improving as we go into the afternoon, some sunshine coming through. but we keep this feed of showery rain from northern ireland into southern scotland and northern england. the far north will be bright and breezy. strong, gusty winds for most of us as we go through the afternoon. but top temperatures are still likely to be incredibly mild for the time of year, particularly across central and southern england, with highs of 15 degrees. a ridge of high pressure will keep things quiet for england and wales on sunday, a little more in the way of cloud and outbreaks of rain to the far north.

this is bbc news, i'mjane hill, the headlines. five former memphis police officers charged with murder over the death of black motorist tyre nichols, plead not guilty in their first court appearance. a man who spied for russia while working as a security guard at the british embassy in berlin is sentenced to 13 years in prison. the prime minister has held talks with northern ireland's main political parties to discuss post—brexit trading, amid speculation that a deal could be reached with the eu. around 30 thousand homes are without power and dozens of schools closed, after storm 0tto causes disruption across scotland and northern england. the family of the hollywood actor bruce willis say the �*die hard' and �*pulp fiction' star is now

he's understood to have employed banking giantsjp morgan and goldman sachs to help him. we have seen interest from the atari exports investment authority. they already own paris and german but that wouldn't stop them. there is a lot of interest from the us themselves, investors will feel that football is undervalued and present owners of most clubs have struggled to unlock its potential in terms of commercial objectives. i think we could see quite a few offers come in. the football association have announced they'll trial the use of referee bodycams in what is a world—first for the sport. the trial begins at grass roots level in middlesbrough this weekend and is being introduced as a measure to try to reduce abuse at officials. bodycams have been used in rugby union for over a decade.

the trial follows a bbc survey which revealed almost 98% of the referees who responded had experienced verbal abuse from spectators, players, coaches or managers. new zealand proved to be stubborn opponents on the second day of the opening test against england, but ben stokes' side did eventually find a way through and lead by 98 runs heading into day three... the lead could have been bigger, but for the batting of tom blundell. try as they might, england's bowlers had no answers to his brilliance as he powered past the century mark. he was running short of partners but continued to inflict damage on england, eventually hitting, 138 before james anderson, finally removed him, to end new zealand's innings.. england led by 19 runs at that point, but suffered the losses of openers ben duckett and then zac crawley here, before the close of play. �*nightwachman' stuart broad, rode his luck at times, but survived until the close of play. england will resume on 79 for 2

"at my age you have to be careful,"

to protect her identity, has been talking to our sports correspondent natalie pirks. this report contains some distressing details. archive: supreme in the tower diving events, brian phelps... _ he was a british sporting superstar. at 16, already has a brilliant past and undoubtedly has i an even greater future. in 1960, brian phelps won 0lympic diving bronze at the age ofjust 16. commonwealth games golds followed, and in 1979 he was a finalist in the bbc�*s hit show superstars. but while millions watched they had no idea of the horrors happening to emma. phelps was abusing her in the basement at the gym he'd set up with his wife. we went through horrific things. every element of the worst that can happen to a little girl when they are in the hands of a paedophile. i think a little part of your soul,

when something that brutal happens, breaks off, and that stays there. emma was five when she says phelps began raping her. she was 12 when she finally found the strength to leave the 0lga gym, a british gymnastics club in poole. a garden now covers where the basement once was. when you grow up with it, you don't know initially that it's not normal. i didn't know anyone else was receiving the same treatment that i was there. i didn't discover until an evening in 2008 when his face appeared on the evening news. newsreader: the medalwinning diver turned paedophile, - but why did it take so long to catch him? _ survivors are asking the same question. revered as an 0lympian, phelps escaped a charge of exposing himself to a child in the north—east just weeks before winning commonwealth gold in 1966. more accusations were made

in the 90s but it wasn't until 2008 when he was finallyjailed for nine years, serving six, for his crimes. brian phelps told this court that he was "a bit of a sex addict," but that none of his victims, aged between just six and 15, had ever said no or told him to stop. he admitted 42 counts of indecent assault and gross indecency on three girls, but even though he was charged with rape he has always denied it. brian phelps, who lives with his wife in france, has also denied all allegations in this piece and told the bbc he never even entered the basement. he added that in 2008, when he "dived from fame as a sportsman to infamy," the child protection team looked for "victims who had slipped through the net, with zero response." emma says she knows of 15 survivors of phelps's abuse but believes there could be more. now with the help of lawyers she's demanding british gymnastics pay her back for therapy and fund

a centre to help abuse survivors. it's about redirecting the shame, the deep, deep shame that exists in ourselves. and redirecting that back to where it belongs, which is everyone who was complicit in all of the things that happened to us. british gymnastics told the bbc it is "truly sorry for any abuse that has taken place" in the sport. and said emma has received "extensive one—to—one support" from its safeguarding team. it added... "0ur reform 25 action plan clearly sets out how we've learned from the past, including working with survivors to develop restorative support." there's nothing historic about 0lga for us. there were catastrophic failures across multiple institutions that contributed to what happened to us. the way we were just taught to ignore pain and suffering, that completely alters the trajectory of our lives.

the king has hosted a reception at buckingham palace as part of a drive to raise billions of pounds to protect nature. the event is being attended by politicians from around the world, business leaders and philantropists — as our environment correspondent jonah fisher reports. and they've come from the high arctic... for the last a0 years, dave paynter has been watching bewick swans winter at slimbridge. smaller than the mute swans that live here full—time, each of them has a unique bill design. it's a fingerprint. we know every swan as an individual, and that's an incredibly valuable conservation tool. this year, 137 came to slimbridge. dave says in the 80s there were more than three times as many. the results of the destruction of wetland habitats, he says, and global warming, shifting their migration routes. some studies suggest that wildlife populations may have fallen by as much as two thirds in the last 50 years. in some areas we've won a few battles but when we look at the war, we really are losing.

at a summit in canada last year, the world came together and agreed to protect 30% of our land and sea for nature, just like the wetlands here at slimbridge. there were also big promises about money, billions of pounds to help nature and vulnerable species recover. it was seen as a possible turning point. but, as always with big promises, there are questions about whether they are going to be followed through. we have momentum... and that's why the government this morning brought together environment ministers and business leaders from around the world to push for action and to put the systems in place to get things moving. a really ambitious global biodiversity framework. a key element of that was about how we finance, particularly developing countries, and that's why i'm really pleased that we've been able to convene people from around the world, whether that be about ministers, about business, about people from finance, because we now need to get into delivery mode. this afternoon, the talks will get

we saw gusts of winds 75 miles an hour. but as the storm pulled away, the story changed a blustery afternoon, but nevertheless with lovely spells of sunshine. as you can see from edinburgh just a little earlier on. there's some rain to come though through the evening and overnight and that will bump into some cold air. so snow for the highlands, maybe some icy stretches first thing in the morning. these weather fronts are lingering by dawn on saturday. and with that cloud and outbreaks of light, drizzly rain, it'll be a mild start, but a murky one. slowly improving through the afternoon, sunny spells coming through a feed of showers across northern ireland could linger across southern scotland, maybe north west england into the afternoon as well. seven to nine degrees in the north, but milder further south, 15 degrees way above the average for the time of year. now a brief ridge of high pressure will continue to keep things relatively quiet on sunday, while the fronts toppling across the high will introduce some showers and some outbreaks of rain at times a little more cloud generally through northern ireland and northern england.

but for the bulk of england and wales, dry, settled and sunny and lighter winds, it'll feel pleasantly warm. top temperatures of around 13 degrees as a high moving out of sunday into the start of the new working week. it's all going to be about the mild story, really high pressure still influencing the story. we can track that airflow from the southwest all the way from the azores, dragging that milder airfor the time of year across the country. a south—westerly flow at this time of year could bring a lot of cloud and maybe some misty, murky conditions. drizzle on exposed coast showers potentially continuing into scotland, but sheltered eastern areas will keep some sunshine. and look at this, highs of 16 celsius, 61 fahrenheit. now it looks likely that we will continue to see some drier weather. but through the middle part of the week, it turns just that little bit fresher

and more unsettled. cctv of the moment the first eartquake struck southern turkey —
