this is bbc news. the former us president, donald trump, says he expects to be arrested on tuesday. in a post on his own social media platform, he claimed to have seen leaks from the manhattan district attorney's office, which is yet to comment. mr trump is accused of paying hush money to an alleged mistress, and called on his supporters to protest if he is detained. our north america correspondent david willis has the latest. donald david willis has the latest. trump is saying that lee m essa 9 es

donald trump is saying that leaked messages to the media indicate that the manhattan district attorney is likely to lay charges against him this coming tuesday. he has called on his supporters to protest. in the last few days, there have indeed been suggestions in the media that charges could be imminent. that is reference, presumably, donald trump made it to the leaks. the grand jury in manhattan, which has been considering these charges against donald trump in connections with alleged hodge money to two women —— hush money. they have still to consider testimony from another witness, it has been revealed. it is unlikely the jury have voted one way or another as to whether charges should be brought against donald trump. more disconcerting than anything else for a lot of people here in the us, however, will be the part of this message in which donald

trump calls on his supporters to protest. it brings back, of course, very raw memories of that insurrection at the us capitol building two years ago onjanuary the 6th when considerable damage was caused and lives were lost. indeed, the manhattan district attorneys office is making no comment on any office is making no comment on any of this. that is the real concern, as i say, that there is this call from mr trump for his supporters to protest. none of his lawyers have actually confirmed that they believe or have any indication that charges are imminent. there have been violent clashes outside the court in islamabad hearing a case against the former pakistan prime minister imran khan who's charged with not correctly declaring funds he received for selling state gifts. his home was raided by police.

he says all cases against him are politically motivated, after he was ousted from office last year. our pakistan correspondent caroline davies sent this report. pelting police with stones, tear gas canisters exploding, filling the air, and in the middle, supporters clinging to his car, this was the arrival of imran khan at court today. tensions between mr khan's supporters and the authorities have been rising all week, an attempt to arrest him led to clashes in lahore. when his convoy left for court this morning, he did so with armed guards. at the entry to islamabad, the convoy stopped. police said mr khan's group would need to disarm. the crowd and traffic built, amongst them we found mr khan, adamant that the authorities�* only intention is to jail him.

putting in prison means that they will keep me out of the election race right until the end of the elections, so i won't be able to campaign — that is the whole thing. opponents say this has nothing to do with politics, but is mr khan whipping up his supporters, making them into a human shield for him to avoid the law. the authorities blocked roads into the capital and the court with shipping containers and banned rallies, but supporters still came. this is the aftermath. imran khan may well have left this courtroom but the police are still here and you can still see the sticks and stones on the ground and you can smell the tear gas that has been used, and the real concern after today is that this is not the end of tensions between the authorities and imran khan's supporters. the months of battles in the courts are now spilling into pakistan's streets, with neither side conceding ground. caroline davies, bbc news, islamabad. there have been further clashes in paris today — as protests continue

against president macron�*s reforms to pensions. french police and protests but thousands threw firecrackers at police who then responded with tear they are voting on no—confidence after plans to raise retirement to 64 without a vote in parliament. you are watching bbc news. let's take things back to the uk now. the home secretary, suela braverman, has arrived in rwanda to discuss the controversial plan to send migrants there, if they've entered the uk illegally. the deal was first agreed 11 months ago but so far no one has been sent to the central african country, with the plan facing criticism from both home and abroad. the uk government has described the plan as ground—breaking and says it hopes that ms braverman�*s visit will reinforce the government's commitment to the partnership. earlier, our news correspondent simonjones told us more

about this official visit. it is very much designed to send out a message. this is the british home secretary saying she and the british government are absolutely committed to this partnership, as they call it, with rwanda. she is absolutely determined to start seeing some migrants who have arrived here in the uk illegally on small boats or on the back of lorries sent some thousands of kilometres from the uk to africa and told they can't claim asylum in the uk. today, so well above and, as part of her visit, told some accommodation that could be used in future to house migrants who get sent from the uk to rwanda. she also met construction workers, people trying to build this accommodation in the future. —— people training to build this accommodation in the future. she is making it clear there is no cap on the number of people who could be

sent to the you —— rwanda from the uk. the government is pushing through legislation that would see anyone who is arriving illegally in the uk told they would be detained, denied and deported. they would be held in secure accommodation, told they could never claim asylum in the uk and then sent to either a safe country like rwanda, as the government sees it, back to their home country or another country they have passed through on the way to reach the uk. this is a hugely controversial scheme. as yet, not a single migrant has been sent from the uk to rwanda under this scheme because it is facing ongoing legal challenges. in fact, today there were protests in a number of cities in the uk, including here in london, with people saying the scheme simply won't work. they described it as inhumane. that is our correspondent simonjones there.

staying here in the uk, the scottish national party's chief executive peter murrell, who's married to first minister nicola sturgeon, has resigned with immediate effect. the move comes after a week of chaos in the snp, with the party forced to confirm a massive drop in membership numbers, and two of the candidates in the leadership race questioning the election process. behind the scenes, peter murrell has been a key figure in the snp. for the last 20 years he has run the party as its chief executive and he married party leader and first minister nicola sturgeon in 2010, but the campaign to succeed his wife has put his role under the spotlight. last month, the snp denied its membership had fallen sharply. this week, it admitted that was wrong, with more than 30,000 fewer members than in december 2021. and now peter murrell has accepted responsibility for the confusion although he insisted there was no intention to mislead. he says speculation about his future has been a distraction from the leadership campaign.

ash regan, who is running in that campaign, had been especially critical of peter murrell. her rival kate forbes had also raised concerns about the election process. this is a contest about change and ultimately about reforming the party and government to make sure that there is honesty and integrity and trust at the very heart of our decision—making. hamza yusuf is seen as the favoured candidate of party headquarters, offering continuity. reform of headquarters is very much needed and, certainly, i will be looking to see what i can do to shake up that operation headquarters from day one. in recent years, peter murrell and nicola sturgeon were the powerhouse behind the scottish national party, but nicola sturgeon�*s resignation has exposed bitter splits in the party and a changing of the guard at the top of the scottish politics, with a host of figures following her out of senior positions in the party, the scottish government or both.

other issues hang over mr murrell�*s time in charge with questions about why he lent the snp more than £100,000, which the party said was a personal donation, and there's a police investigation into party finances. the snp has suffered another blow, while the leadership campaign continues. catrina renton, bbc news. president putin has flown to crimea in ukraine to mark nine years since the region was illegally annexed by russia. he's been accused of war crimes by the international criminal court — specifically the forced deportation of children from ukraine to russia. efforts are continuing in ukraine to bring home children who've gone missing since the invasion, as our diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. vladimir putin today in sevastopol. there to open an arts centre and mark the anniversary of russia's illegal annexation of crimea. 0ne place he can still visit without risk of arrest

after international prosecutors accused him of war crimes. the united states may not accept the jurisdiction of the international criminal court, but president biden welcomed its decision nonetheless. well, i think it's justified, but the question is, it's not recognised internationally by us either but i think it makes a very strong point. he has clearly committed war crimes. thank you. the allegations are that mr putin has personal criminal responsibility for deporting children from occupied parts of ukraine to russia. according to this lawyer, potentially as many as 700,000 children — yes, 700,000 — were taken, and only a fraction have been brought home. she welcomed the court decision, but... it's only the first step. our next step should be returning back all ukrainian children from the russian federation to ukraine. not only because of the reason to reunite them with their families, but in order to receive as much

as possible evidence and testimony from them directly. in kyiv today, people told me the court's decision meant the world now knew about russia's alleged war crimes. what is your reaction? i'm very happy about it because justice will come. extremely happy. why? because we expected this for more than one year and because, definitely, vladimir putin has committed crimes. at home, vladimir putin is honoured as a head of state. abroad, he is now wanted as an alleged war criminal. the kremlin has rejected the accusations against him, but on the global stage his isolation has deepened. james landale, bbc news, kyiv. meanwhile, a deal allowing the export of ukrainian grain from the black sea has been renewed hours before it was due to expire.

the green initiative was first broken lastjuly during fears of a globalfood crisis broken lastjuly during fears of a global food crisis after russia blockaded imports and exports. imogen foulkes has the latest from geneva. the negotiations to extend this rain deal really went down to the wire and the agreement was due to expire today but now we have had a statement from the united nations saying, yes, the deal can be extended but immediately after statement came out, there was then more confusion. ukraine said, great, it has been extended for 120 days, that is what we asked for, kind of hinting we got what we wanted. russia then hit back saying, no, we told all our partners in the black sea grain deal that it

has been extended for the 60 days that we said almost a week ago we were prepared to accept. i think we can safely say grain can still be exported from the black sea but we don't know for how long. let's not forget this is a very, very important deal for food insecure countries in the horn of africa, somalia, for example. successive drought is said to be on the verge of famine. it relies on grain which the world food programme often buys in ukraine. then we have, for example, yemen, afghanistan in the midst of humanitarian crises, they too are food insecure of course, we have seen a rise in globalfood prices and any disruption to the global grain supply will push those prices up again. there will be some relief within the united nations that there is an extension but some concern about how long it is going to last.

russia, as we know, has its own concerns. it says that the parallel agreement which allowed it to export its food and fertilisers, which theoretically are not subject to sanctions, isn't being honoured. it wants that address. we didn't see any real detail about that in the un statement so i think in the days and weeks to come, that will be looked at very closely and moscow will be looking very closely to see if its goods are getting out more easily. but at the end of the day, some analysts are saying, well, russia is saying we got what we want, it is only 60 days, but some of this was maybe only posturing because, back in october, russia briefly walked away

from the grain deal then in fact, grainjust kept on being exported via the black sea and moscow didn't do anything. people are wondering, you know, everybody knows it is in moscow's interests and kyiv�*s interests to have their goods exported, whether this was more diplomatic games and, at the end of the day, hopefully, everybody will settle down and honour this agreement. time for the latest sport. ireland have won the six nations grand slam and this one is sweet for so many reasons. theirfifth and this one is sweet for so many reasons. their fifth win out of five was against england by 29 — 16. for the first time at the grand slams it was achieved in dublin. england were in the lead for long time but player of the match dan sheehan touching down. then a crucial momentjust before the break. england down to 14 men after a dangerous tackle. they got it down to one point but ireland had three more tries and sealed the

cup. his sixth hat—trick of the season helped his team to a 6—0 win over burnley. a warm welcome on his return to the club. that was about as good as it got. haaland wreaked havoc. a goal fest at the etihad following a 7—0 win over leipzig. 0ver following a 7—0 win over leipzig. over 40 goals for the season for the norwegian striker. tottenham missed the chance to go third in the premier league letting a two—goal lead slip against southampton. extraordinary action from the spurs boss. it might be a crucial moment for southampton. southampton are two points from safety and only four

0verworked and underpaid! ..a frustrated workforce... today, we're doing skills and simulation. ..and even for some trying to enter the profession, like these in worcester, a daily struggle. i'm 28 years old. i'm a second year nursing student. i faced a lot of challenges, even though i get support from my family back home in nigeria. one of them would be the rising cost in the electricity bills and also the bus fares and having to go to placement and having to buy groceries. everything has just spiked. i'm 21 and i'm a third year nursing student. some of my friends have had to drop out because they can't afford it. i don't think i could have managed to do the course if i wasn't living at home because, you know, i have the luxury of my parents being able to support me. obviously everything's going up, you know, petrol to placement, parking, all these things that you don't think about when actually when everything's going up, you know, then you do start to think about it and it does start to get

more difficult as you go on. at newman university in birmingham, new £3 million nursing facilities, human simulators, an immersive reality suite for scenario training, a digital table for learning anatomy. it allows us to cross—section the patient, take away layer by layer so we can see underlying structures. and then we can see things like muscles, bones. just 85 places for the new course due to start in september, already more than 600 applicants. we know the demand is out there, both in terms of the employers needing trained professionals, but also there are a lot of people out there who want to go into these professions. i'm phoebe. i'm 22 and i'm a thirdj year nursing student. it's like a bug, nursing, it gets under your skin. j and once you get it in, i it's like you are a nurse. it becomes you. it becomes part of you. the problem is retention. record numbers of nurses are leaving the nhs and nearly cancelling out the rise in newjoiners. i asked a health thinktank why.

the number of staff leaving their role due to work—life balance has quadrupled over the last decade and is nearly exceeding the number of staff leaving due to retirement. i think separately to that, there's been a survey of leavers from the nursing register in the uk which found that negative workplace culture was also a key reason. i would imagine that the pandemic and the kind of burn—out from the pandemic has had some has had some impact. the government says there are 38,000 more nurses now than in 2019 and says it's on track to deliver on a promise to recruit 50,000 by 2024. it says it will publish a plan this year to recruit and retain staff. meanwhile, these students in worcester have no doubt it is the career for them. i knew the salary when i started the course and that didn't put me off. ithink, you know, i don't do it for the money. i don't think any nurse should do it for the money. i think they should do it because they love patient care

and they love delivering high, safe patient care. giving care and being compassionate and feeling what people feel, - trying to make people feel better. a dedicated father who took a photo of his son every day for the first 21 years of his life, says it's been "a joy" to capture his child growing up. ian mcleod, from harrogate, wanted to make sure he didn't forget a moment of cory�*s childhood, so picked up his camera and started snapping. now cory, who's aged 30, has taken over photo duties and is continuing the project. you know, what if i took his photo every day? and it'd be pretty cool to see birth til death. so i'm just going to keep going until the end, i think. come the day cory is born and ijust had to make a decision. start taking photos. didn't know how long it would last. maybe a couple of years, something like that. but it's hard when you get to the end of that couple

of years to just say, "right, this is the day i stop." and so itjust went on and on and on. obviously, as a child, i didn't really understand what was going on. it was just part of my daily routine, having my photo taken. i'd be going to friend's house and sleepovers and things after school, and my dad would have to drive around and disturb us, ask the parents if he can come inside and take my photo, and then he'd honestly drive an hour each way sometimes just to take a photo, and then he'd be pestering teachers to take photos on school trips and all that stuff. but, yeah, after i got through that and then youtube came, it kind of all made sense to make a time lapse film out of it, and then seeing the whole world watching it is pretty amazing. my guidelines were i had to take it between 12:00 and 12:00 at night, you know, 24—hour gap. i had to take it. and if i if it was after midnight,

where if i was in the wrong place, that was it, it was lost. i feel like i would be letting my dad down if i stopped, he's gone through the whole pre—digital age doing it and managed to cope. so if i've got an iphone, i've got no excuses, really. the whole world should see this idea that my dad had and i hope he gets the recognition it deserves, as this art project, really, cos to have this vision in 1991 of this time lapse thing, pre—digital, pre—internet, now to see all come together as this viral film, it's incredible. ijust think it would be a shame if i stopped. absolutely amazing. the bible of the priest who smuggled king charles ii during the civil war is set to fetch thousands at auction later this month in liverpool. father huddleston arranged safety in france during the english civil war unattended them on a's deathbed to

mist and fog patches by dawn. temperatures are about four to seven celsius. cold enough for patches of rust in the countryside. tomorrow, the best weather we will see all weekend. during the morning, sunshine once we have lost the early morning mist and fog patches. through the day, clown thickens with outbreaks of rain. late in the day, rain arriving for west scotland, parts of wales and western areas of england. mild again, temperatures ten to 13 celsius. next week, low pressure will stay in charge of our weather, firing outbreaks of rain across the uk often, so it will be pretty wet in the week ahead. it will also be windy at times as well. wet weather to come on monday, the heaviest most persistent heading into areas of scotland. there could be a few brighter spells but overall, cloudy with rain at times

commonly statement probably best sums up. the rest of the week stays unsettled with further outbreaks of rain around at times so it will stay pretty wet. quite a few areas have already seen more rainfall so far than we have if we cut up the rain we are expecting, it will be wet across western and northern areas of the uk. we will be looking at a particularly wet march by the end of the month. that is the latest.
