hello and welcome to bbc world news. at least 18 people are now known to have died as storms and tornadoes ripped through the united states, leaving a trail of devastation. hardest hit were tennessee, arkansas and indiana. in illinois, one person was killed when a theatre roof collapsed. the storms came a week after a tornado devastated a town in mississippi, killing 25. sancha berg reports. dozens of storms and tornadoes left a trail of destruction, two of the fiercest touch downed in the southern state of arkansas. tearing off roofs, bringing down power lines, sweeping through homes with incredible force. the rate of pace and the the volume of itjust seemed rather intense and it was extremely dangerous.

it came through a set of double doors and ploughed through my house, out of my front door which has steel bars in the front of it. several people have been killed, dozens injured, in this state alone. the governor declared a state of emergency. i think the real story here isn't the damage that happened but it's the heroes that were born out of the tragedy and the fact that we have firefighters who despite the fact that they had a tornado literally coming through their station were worried about the community. that tells you who they are and it tells you i think a lot about our state. 600 miles to the north in belvidere, illinois another storm hit. the roof of the apollo theatre collapsed. one person has been killed, dozens injured. this latest destructive weather arrived just as president biden was visiting mississippi

where he promised help to those were hit by another tornado last week. sancha berg, bbc news. russia has taken over the presidency of the un security council, in what ukraine says is a "slap in the face to the international community" because of the ongoing war. the presidency is rotated among the council's 15 members every month, and the last time russia had the role, in february 2022, vladimir putin launched a full—scale invasion of ukraine. 0ur ukraine correspondent, hugo bachega is in the capital, kyiv and sent this update. there have been angry reactions after russia assumed the rotating presidency of the un security council, which is the top security body of the united nations. the ukrainian foreign minister said, this was a slap in the face to the

international community. and the president was macritchie. said this was another blow to the rules —based system of international relations. since the beginning of the war, ukrainians have criticised the fact that russia has continued to be a permanent member of the security council, with veto power. russia has been using this power to block resolutions related to the conflict. the united states, which has been a key ally of the ukrainians in this war, said there is no legal pathway to expel a permanent member of the security council. in the last few days, the ukrainians have tried to block russia from taking over the presidency of the security council, but the us again said there was no means to block moscow from the post. the authorities in iran are vowing to enforce the wearing of a headscarf by women more rigorously, despite months of protests.

a growing number of women have been seen unveiled in public, and hardline politicians are giving judges ultimatums to punish those who ignore the rules. param ghobadi from the bbc persian service has the story. scenes like these were unimaginable seven months ago in iran. women refusing to wear the hijab in public. videos obtained by bbc persian show women flouting the islamic dress code at a sports complex in tehran on friday. it's not only women. he would also have been arrested for wearing shorts in public a few months ago. the young iranian generation is fearless. they don't want to dance to the tune of the clerical establishment. and it's not only in capital tehran. this was sent to us from hormuz island in southern iran, in the persian gulf.

and this is the central city of isfahan, and here in this western town these girls are barred from entering a tourist attraction because they have no hijab. such acts of defiance has infuriated the hardliners. here a man warns a girl who is not wearing a headscarf. he then hits both women in the head with a yoghurt bucket. the iranianjudiciary said all three were arrested. many critics say hardliners like him are emboldened due to a statement by the iranian interior ministry published on thursday. but enforcing the hijab is not that easy any more, after months of protests following the death of a kurdish girl, mahsa amini, in police custody in september.

iranian security forces killed over 500 protesters, according to rights groups. despite the deadly crackdown, it would seem there is no going back for iranian women. param ghobadi, bbc news. for the 13th week in a row, tens of thousands of israelis are holding protests against a radicaljudicial overhaul, despite the process having been put on hold by the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, earlier this week. i'm joined now by bbc monitoring'sjoel greenberg injerusalem. what are those protests like this weekend so far? i what are those protests like this weekend so far?— what are those protests like this weekend so far? i think there was some thought _ weekend so far? i think there was some thought originally _ weekend so far? i think there was some thought originally that, - weekend so far? i think there was. some thought originally that, when the prime minister put the plan on hold for about a month until parliament reconvenes that there might be a pause in the process, but

tonight there are tens of thousands of israelis demonstrating in different cities, and the biggest protest was in tel aviv, where there were reports of over 150,000 demonstrators, several thousand in jerusalem outside the president's residence, where compromise talks are going to resume tomorrow. it seems that the protesters want to keep the pressure on the government despite the pores announced by the prime minister. i despite the pores announced by the prime minister.— prime minister. i am keen to know who actually _ prime minister. i am keen to know who actually is _ prime minister. i am keen to know who actually is protesting? - prime minister. i am keen to know who actually is protesting? it - prime minister. i am keen to know who actually is protesting? it is . who actually is protesting? it is reall a who actually is protesting? it is really a mix- — who actually is protesting? it is really a mix. i _ who actually is protesting? it is really a mix. i went _ who actually is protesting? it 3 really a mix. i went out to have a look at the jerusalem protest and there were people of all ages. there were high school students, university students, elderly folks, middle—aged people. it's much wider than the usual process. this seems to be attracting people from various walks of life and various age groups. that's been noted very much here in the local media as well. there are, of course, people who

support the government plan and there have been pro—government protests, but the anti—government protests, but the anti—government protests have now been going on for 15 weeks and seem to have captured a large slice of the population. i5 large slice of the population. is this a real risk to benjamin netanyahu? i this a real risk to ben'amin netanyahuafi this a real risk to ben'amin netan ahu? ~ 3 , netanyahu? i think he's definitely feelin: netanyahu? i think he's definitely feeling under _ netanyahu? i think he's definitely feeling under pressure. _ netanyahu? i think he's definitely feeling under pressure. he - netanyahu? i think he's definitely feeling under pressure. he is - netanyahu? i think he's definitely| feeling under pressure. he is used to setting the agenda and in this case the protesters seem have grabbed the agenda from him. he tried again this evening to seize the initiative by putting the plan on hold but this was also seen as giving in to the protesters, having to bow to their demands that this process be halted. so talks can begin or perhaps scrapped altogether. he was planning to push ahead before the recess of parliament but decided to put on hold because of the huge protests. how likely is it that he willjust drop those reforms? i

highway traffic. so there has been use of water cannon by police but, in general, yes, the protests have been peaceful. there were some injuries after a right—wing protest that favoured the government, and some activists there went after some of the pro—government, sorry, some of the pro—government, sorry, some of the pro—government, sorry, some of the anti—government protesters, but in general the level of violence has not been high. certainly the anti—government protests have been contained by the police without serious confrontations.- contained by the police without serious confrontations. thank you very much- _ donald trump will appear in a new york court early next week. the former president is to face criminal charges over the hush money payments to adult film star stormy daniels in the days before the 2016 presidential election. court officials have confirmed that the former president is expected to appear for his arraignment on tuesday.

0ur north america reporter nada tawfik has been giving us the latest from in new york. in new york, security has been ramped up to prepare for when donald trump will surrender. he is expected to arrive in manhattan on monday night, where he will stay at his trump tower residence, escorted throughout by his secret service detail, before turning himself into authorities here at the district attorney's office on tuesday. tuesday afternoon, he will hear the charges formally against him and be able to enter a plea in front of a judge. it will be a moment captured ljy judge. it will be a moment captured by the world's media and is something that donald trump is trying to capitalise on. we have seen him turn this narrative, trying to rally his base and republicans around him, that this is a witch hunt against him, that it is political persecution and an attempt to with the upcoming presidential election in 202a. at the moment, he

is the frontrunner for the republicans, as they look towards their primary to he has been sending out campaign e—mails, looking for donations, and the trump campaign says, in the 2a hours since his indictment, he has raised $4 million. certainly, in the short term, he is seeing a boost. the manhattan district attorney has hit back at attacks against him, saying this was a new york grand jury of citizens who did their civic duty and decided there was evidence to proceed, and he hit back against what he calls unlawful interference in a local prosecution. the pope has said he will take part in the mass celebrating palm sunday in the vatican. the 86 year old was discharged from a hospital in rome in the last few hours where he was receiving treatment for bronchitis. smiling and leaning on a cane as he left rome's gemelli hospital, the pontiff greeted well—wishers and joked he was still alive.

the vatican said he'd resumed some work duties while in hospital, baptising a new born baby as well as sharing a dinner with some of the doctors and nurses. a court in romania has agreed to allow the controversial social media influencer andrew tate to leave prison and move into house arrest. the british—american former kickboxer has millions of online followers. he's being investigated for a number of crimes, all of which he denies. lucy williamson is at the compound in romania where he's under house arrest. the police have been here to the compound a couple of times already today. it's day one of house arrest for the brothers and the police have come to check they're on the premises as they're supposed to be. the judge has said they have to stay in this building for 30 days until the end of april. the tate spokeswoman said the brothers are nevertheless ecstatic to be out of police custody and that there aren't that many restrictions on them while they're under house arrest. they can have visitors into the compound, they can post

material online and they can also talk to the media. although, as you can see today, the media is being kept out here in the rain for the moment. these gates have remained largely shut today, apart from a few comings and goings. but if you look through the gaps, you can see that life is continuing pretty much as it did before. inside the lobby here looks a little bit like the set of a tv show. there's a swimming pool and a small gym. there used to be a fleet of luxury cars, but they've now all gone. they've been impounded by the romanian authorities here at the end of the street, there are large areas that are undeveloped, really just wasteland. and we also now know that some of those luxury cars inside this compound didn't belong to the brothers themselves. they were leased from a car rental company. all of that gives a slightly different impression to the one they gave in the videos online. here in the uk, operators at the port of dover are putting on extra night ferries, to try to clear the backlog of travellers caught up in long delays, heading to the continent over easter.

the port authority has apologised and says it's "deeply frustrated" that bad weather and french border checks have caused problems. some people travelling by coach say they've faced up to 14—hour delays. simonjones has more from dover. it is not such a great start to the great easter getaway. forced to spend hours on a coach with no idea when you're going to be able to get across the channel. guys, should we just carry on with the karaoke? the driver from nottingham is trying to keep the spirits of his passengers up as they face missing a day on the slopes of the french alps. we've been here 4.5 hours waiting. we've had other coaches in front of us have been waiting for more than 12 hours. i don't know how long we're going to be here. could be for another 12 hours, i don't know. the police have been doing what they can to stop dover from snarling up, but lorries and cars have been getting caught in the chaos, too. we were meant to go to italy, ultimately, but we booked into a hotel in france this evening. but i don't know if we are going to make it now. it's going to be a long one, i think. we're going to be here for a while. but it's ok, it's a holiday.

so, what's causing this? it has been blamed on a perfect storm of huge numbers of people wanting to travel, bad weather yesterday causing delays to the ferries and, according to the port, new checks introduced after brexit, meaning all coach passengers have to get out of the vehicle to have their passports checked and stamped by the french authorities. lorries were forced to queue on the outskirts of dover last night. questions are being asked about why this is happening again just like last easter. every single holiday getaway we see this gridlock. we need to invest, that means investing in the roads, putting in lorry parks, coach parks, making sure there are facilities for people to wait and notjust queue in our roads all around the town. that is not fair for the people here. the port says it is deeply frustrated, saying that it had planned ahead, but the additional coach bookings taken by ferry firms for easter have added to the challenge. it will look to learn lessons. first of all, i want to say how sorry i am that everyone who wanted to get away this easter break has

been so disrupted, and particularly the schoolkids. being a father myself, i know how anxious i'd feel. what we have been doing is we've been working really hard with the ferry operators and partners throughout kent to try and make certain that all the traffic that has been backlogged can get through as quickly as possible. but spare a thought for those who have not even got as far as the port. these students heading to croatia have been stranded at a nearby service station when their coach driver reached his daily driving limit. there's no toilet roll. they're running low on food. there's coaches constantly arriving. young children here from scouts, cubs. there's no one here to help you. there's no security. there's nothing. there are people on the floor sleeping, people sat everywhere. it's chaotic. tonight, the backlog is finally clearing, but it has been another bruising day for passengers and the port. bosses say as soon as they get to this weekend, the inquest into what went wrong can begin.

a new scheme to cut the cost of hormone replacement therapy has come into force in england on saturday. it reduces the price of menopause treatments to less than £20 a year. the change is expected to save 400,000 women up to £205 each year via a prescription prepayment certificate. things have got off to a rocky start though, with reports of the nhs website responsible for issuing certificates being down at various points today. i had horrendousjoint pain, tiredness. the fatigue is overwhelming. its tiredness. the fatigue is overwhelming.— tiredness. the fatigue is overwhelming. tiredness. the fatigue is overwhelmina. , ~ ., overwhelming. its like brain fog. i'm knackered _ overwhelming. its like brain fog. i'm knackered all— overwhelming. its like brain fog. i'm knackered all the _ overwhelming. its like brain fog. i'm knackered all the time. - overwhelming. its like brain fog. | i'm knackered all the time. mood swinus i'm knackered all the time. mood swings can _ i'm knackered all the time. mood swings can be _ i'm knackered all the time. mood swings can be quite _ i'm knackered all the time. mood swings can be quite bad. - i'm knackered all the time. mood swings can be quite bad. i - i'm knackered all the time. mood swings can be quite bad. i didn'tl swings can be quite bad. i didn't feel myself— swings can be quite bad. i didn't feel myself any _ swings can be quite bad. i didn't feel myself any more. _ swings can be quite bad. i didn't feel myself any more. not - swings can be quite bad. i didn't. feel myself any more. not enough information _ feel myself any more. not enough information out _ feel myself any more. not enough information out there _ feel myself any more. not enough information out there about - information out there about menopause. a information out there about menopause-— information out there about menopause. information out there about menoause. �* . . . menopause. a natural time in a woman's life — menopause. a natural time in a woman's life but _ menopause. a natural time in a woman's life but going - menopause. a natural time in a woman's life but going through | menopause. a natural time in a . woman's life but going through the menopause can be challenging. for some, hormone replacement therapy is the only solution. from today, a new

hello there. the met office confirmed that last month of march was indeed a very wet month pretty much across the country, but especially across england and wales. and we ended the month on a damp, windy, wet note with a deep area of low pressure which has been pulling away gradually. so the next few days, certainly for the first week of april, it's looking quieter, as high pressure starts to build in to bring you some sunshine as well. but the legacy left behind by that area of low pressure means it will hold on to quite a lot of cloud. further spots of rain this evening across western scotland, northern ireland. but through the night it will turn drierfor many. we'll see the clouds tending to break up with clear spells developing where skies clear. it will turn quite chilly under the cloud with more of a breeze in the south—east as well. then no lower than five to seven degrees.

you can see this area of high pressure starting to build in across the uk. we lose the low pressure system which will pull away from the south—east, taking the fresh north—easterly breeze with it through the day on sunday. so we'll see the clouds melting away across many areas. it could hold on, though, across central northern scotland, maybe the odd shower here. but most places will be dry, increasing sunshine, so feeling a bit warmer away from north sea coast, which will still feel quite chilly with an onshore breeze there. but the winds become even lighter across all areas through sunday night. and with clear skies, it's going to be a recipe for quite a cold night. by the end of the night, it will turn chilly enough for a touch of frost in places, some sub—zero values, particularly out of towns and cities. but it means as we head into monday, the start of the first working week of april, with high pressure overhead, it's going to be fine and dry. it's going to be a cold start, some frost around, early mist and fog, which will tend to lift and clear.

and then most places will be dry with plenty of sunshine, including much of the north of scotland and also northern ireland. winds coming in from the south—east. so again, cooler around some southern and eastern coast, but further west with the sunshine around after that cold start, it could be up to around 13 degrees. a bit of a blip in the weather around the middle part of the week. we see high pressure retreat, allowing these weather fronts to bring some wind, cloud and rain to northern and western areas for a time. but then it looks like high pressure wants to build back in towards the end of the week and indeed for the run up to the easter weekend. so all in all, i think for many, particularly southern and eastern areas, it should stay fine, dry, unsettled. —— and settled.
