0ur north america correspondent sophie long reports from mississippi. this is rolling fork, a small, close community in mississippi. there is little left. they've lost loved ones, their homes, everything. we get storms like bad rain or, you know, probably high winds or something. but we never experience nothing like this where it can wipe out a whole town. you know, schools, children, you know, parents, loved ones. it wiped out everything. these girls said they came back to look for their belongings. they didn't find much. this is what remains of people's homes here in rolling fork. you can see washing machines, signs of a life that took place

here before the tornado struck in the middle of the night. many people were sleeping. you can imagine just how terrifying that must have been. ran in the bathroom, closed the door and jumped in the tub. _ francisco said the only warning he had was the noise of the wind, a sound that will haunt him forever. it was terrifying. and it was like something that i i never want to go through again. i never want to experience that again in my life, - but i made it through it. but it was scary. he survived by sheltering in his bathroom, the only bit of the house that's still partially standing. there is some long term resentment here. mississippi is the poorest state in america, and some feel forgotten by leaders in the nation's capital. excuse my language. damn, you forgot about us? just because we already last in everything? you forgot about us. that's not right. that is very heart wrenching. other than we lost everything and we feel that we don't have support from the superior people also.

president biden described what happened here as heartbreaking and said he and the first lady are praying for those who had lost loved ones. but people here are asking for more than prayers and emergency relief. they want long term support. sophie long, bbc news, rolling fork, mississippi. well sophie has been continuing to get the latest from on the ground in rolling fork, and gave us this update it and gave us this update is difficult to comprehend �* you it is difficult to comprehend when you drive and to this area from the stuff you see the clear line of the tornado tube. the been stripped of their branches and some that are completely untouched and this is where it came through and into peoples homes just two days ago on friday evening and people were gathering in these buildings and we look at the devastation here, it is remarkable that any of them got out of here alive. you heard in my report earlier, he had his bathtub and be asked how did he know that it was safe to get out because all the walls in the roof had been ripped off and he could see that the

tornado passed. yesterday, when he came here, they were looking visibly dazed and confused trying to comprehend what it happened to their town. today, it's more of a hive of activity you cannot see much of what's going on behind me but their crews working to get trees that are pending down power lines and thousands of people are without power still in there working to restore that an emphasis on making sure people have drinking water and summer to stay in their three shelters that been set up in the area where people can go in stations or people who have bottles of water and sandwiches. i think the authorities are saying the switch operation is still under way by the operation is still under way by the operation is still under way by the operation is much more on recovery and they have a huge task ahead. resident present biden is going to give federal aid and they are coming in later and as the secretary of state

from the security and i think the message from washington and president and people there is that we should you enter here to support you. —— we hear you and are here to support you. nato has condemned russia for what it called its "dangerous and irresponsible" rhetoric — a day after president putin said moscow would deploy tactical nuclear weapons in belarus. ukraine said the move would make belarus a nuclear hostage, destabilise it and strip it of its sovereignty. kyiv is also calling for an urgent meeting of the united nations security council. the secretary of the ukranian national defence council said on twitter that the move was a step towards the �*internal destabilisation�* of belarus. and he said the kremlin had taken the country as a nuclear hostage. ukraine says the deployment violates non—proliferation commitments, something mr putin has denied. we have already transferred belarus

are very translation: we have already transferred - to belarus our well—known, very effective complex iskander. it can be a delivery vehicle as well. on april 3rd, we will start training the crews. 0njuly ist, we will finish the construction of the special repository to store the tactical nuclear weapon in belarus. hugo bachega sent us this update from kyiv. we've seen the president putin and others have talked about nuclear weapons and raise the possibility of nuclear weapons being used in this conflict. so, every time they talk about nuclear weapons, those remarks spark reaction and concerns some countries. we've seen reaction from nato with the nato alliance described the rhetoric as irresponsible and also said following the situation closely but he had not seen any change in

russia's nuclear posture. some strong reactions during tf. they said russia was using nuclear weapons as a tool of threats and the government here called for an emergency succession of united nations security council. we got reaction from washington, the us being the main ally of ukrainians in the war and being the main ally of ukrainians in the warand in being the main ally of ukrainians in the war and in an attempt to downplay attends of russia could be planning to use tactical nuclear weapons, senior us official said there were no signs that russia was preparing to do so. president putin said there was nothing unusual about his announcement and assisted the us is long deployed its own nuclear weapons in european countries and epics and experts and observers say this could be part of the russian strategy here to play with western views of a nuclear escalation of this conflict. coastguards in tunisia say 29 people

are now known to have drowned when two boats carrying migrants sank within hours of each other. the vessels were heading to italy — as part of an increase in crossings that's seen several other boats sink, and dozens more reach the italian island of lampedusa. four other boats have gone down in the region in the last three days amid an unprecedented series of departures from north africa. here in the uk, the possession of laughing gas is to be banned, as part of a wider government crackdown on anti—social behaviour. the gas, nitrous oxide, has legitimate uses in medicine as an anaesthetic, but when taken as a psychoactive drug, the government says it can lead to anti—social behaviour. here's our political correspondent, iain watson. a symbol of anti—social behaviour, the gas they contain can lead to feelings of euphoria when he would put ministers say it can also harm the health of young people in

particular and the communities is no laughing matter. is are public spaces that should be safe and orderly and once you begin to retreat from these public spaces what you see anything goes, as we know, what appears to be small infringements turns to be a degree of lawlessness. the infringements turns to be a degree of lawlessness.— of lawlessness. the supply of nitrous oxide _ of lawlessness. the supply of nitrous oxide also _ of lawlessness. the supply of nitrous oxide also known - of lawlessness. the supply of nitrous oxide also known as l of lawlessness. the supply of - nitrous oxide also known as laughing gas, but the government will overrule its own expert adviser on trust by banning its possession stop littering is already an illegal and we do not need to criminalise to tackle these problems. we just need to use the controls and laws that are in place. if it need to use the controls and laws that are in place.— that are in place. if it is a political _ that are in place. if it is a political theatre. - that are in place. if it is a political theatre. labour l that are in place. if it is al political theatre. labour is that are in place. if it is a - political theatre. labour is in favour of _ political theatre. labour is in favour of taking _ political theatre. labour is in favour of taking a _ political theatre. labour is in favour of taking a stronger . political theatre. labour is in - favour of taking a stronger stance. we want to see a band as well because — we want to see a band as well because it _ we want to see a band as well because it does _ we want to see a band as well because it does cause - we want to see a band as well because it does cause huge i

the police have been accused of failing children, following a highly critical report, into their use of strip searches. new figures show almost three thousand children were strip—searched by police forces in england and wales, between 2018 and mid 2022. the youngest, was just eight years old. more than half didn't involve an appropriate adult being present, as required by law, except when there's a serious risk to life, and black children were up to six times more likely to be strip—searched, compared to the rest of the population. the children's commissioner for england, says she's deeply concerned about the findings, as celestina 0lu—loday reports. a year ayearago, a year ago, thousands marched in solidarity with a black schoolgirl strip—searched by police in 2020. wrongly accused of carrying cannabis, the 15—year—old words on her period at the time. her ordeal is encouraged others to come forward. when teenager recounted his experience being strip—searched at the age of 13 to the children's commissioner. now19 the age of 13 to the children's commissioner. now 19 years old, his

michael gove, has admitted the uk is now a poorer country, citing the covid pandemic and the war in ukraine as causes, but he refused to accept brexit was also part of the problem. it comes as the independent body that provides economic forecasts for the government, the office for budget responsibility, says economic output would be around 4 percent higher, had the uk, stayed in the eu. our business correspondent noor nanji is here. so, does mr gove accept the government has any responsibility at all for this situation? when asked whether the government is aiming to do with this, he refused to acknowledge brexit but paid what other issues by saying one can always do better. insisting the government was doing everything they could to attack the cost of living crisis and the windfall tax and firms looking to pay households with their energy bills but his view was their energy bills but his view was the reason we're in the situation is because of those twin shocks, the pandemic in the war in ukraine which have pushed up prices and i because of brexit. it's of a to what he said. , ., of brexit. it's of a to what he said. , , ., said. everyone accepts that if he

core productivity growth. and in the long run, brexit is reduced or output by around 4% compared to where we would've been if we had not left the eu. polling stations have closed in berlin and counting has begun in a referendum to make the german capital climate—neutral by 2030. the results of the binding referendum will be a test of whether germans want their country's climate policy to be more ambitious. germany aims to be europe's biggest carbon—neutral economy by 2045. critics say the campaign's goal is unrealistic, because it would not be possible to reach zero net emissions within seven years. our correspondent in berlin damian mcguiness explains why this is a divisive issue. a lot of young people, green voters, left—wing voters, thousands of activists all year have been

campaigning for this issue which is supported by the youth movement in the green party come the centreleft parties as well as other nongovernmental organisations. very active people pushing this issue and on one hand, it's got a lot of opposition because of this were to go into law, we would then have been noted to make berlin climate neutral, you would have to put forward some pretty drastic measures including renovating all public buildings, private building are developing severe limitations on car travel within the city and really upping the amount of public transport. all of that will be expensive which is what critics say it is just not affordable and environmental activists say this is a climate emergency and so, it has to be done, come what may. it is a divisive issue dividing the city and controversial issue because of the measures to go through, it could really hit the budget hard and that's why a lot of people do not think it's the right thing and

certainly, it's because support among the voters here. went back let's have a listen. i wa nt to want to personally thank president biden and his team to very quickly signing the emergency declaration that he sent yesterday and obviously, the resources for the people here throughout mississippi, the help is on the way. i think it is critically important and i would take the opportunity to personally thank all the volunteers that are here. progress in over the past 36 hours, on one hand, it is been heartbreaking to see the loss and devastation of these communities and on the other hand, it's been inspiring and gives me great reason

for optimism and quite frankly, makes me proud to be in mississippi and because mississippians have done what mississippians do in times of tragedy and in times of crisis, they stand up and they show up. and they're there to help themselves, help their neighbours and as we talked individuals throughout the devastation behind us, yesterday morning and again today, what you are seeing is that we have a lot of good people to live in this great state and i'm proud of them and i'm proud to represent and i'm proud to take this opportunity to give as many resources here as he possibly can. and the secretary of mallorca will mention this as well, but in our emergency declaration, we start with the four counties that are hardest hit clearly, the president approved by the public assistance and individual assistance for the individuals in these communities and they appreciate that. in addition to

that, it will continue working and we have joint teams on the ground here but alsojoint we have joint teams on the ground here but also joint teams that are doing their thing from the emergency operations centre in every region of our state and we appreciate them. and what we have these natural disasters we have more than we care to think about. , we appreciate them showing up. for turned over to the secretary is on the person we think player walker kicked in the town of rolling fork in the town of rolling fork and just walk us through and let the delegation through and have the opportunity and a new large number of individuals are hurting right now and where they are, where they are staying in who they are staying with and i hope everyone else behind me has heard that the people who have been displaced, whether they're staying with her sons, in greenville or someone in

clinton, everyone of the mess that, mother or dad or me, we've lived in this community and we want to continue to live in this community will do everything we can through housing and other means to give these people back in these communities as quickly as we possibly can. i want to reiterate my thanks to secretary and working with the president to expedite our emergency requests. thank him for being here on the ground in mississippi and it matters to these people in it matters when these federal partners are here and it matters my local representatives here and thank you for being with us. s thank you very much governor. want to echo the sentiments of the governor and what he expressed. heartbreaking inspiration. we walked
