in russia, the pro—war blogger killed by a bomb concealed in a statuette handed to him during a meeting in a st petersburg cafe. ladies and gentlemen, your artemis ii crew! and the four astronauts taking humankind on a mission around and coming upon the bbc news channel... what next for chelsea and their hunt for a new boss — as graham potter becomes the 13th premier league manager sacked this season. good evening. the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel in her own home in liverpool last year by a gunman who was chasing a fellow drug dealer shocked the entire country. today, her killer thomas cashman

was sentenced to a minimum of 42 years in prison, meaning he will be in his mid 70s before he can be considered for early release. cashman refused to appear in the dock for the sentencing but the judge told the court in manchester that olivia's future had been cruelly snatched away and that cashman�*s actions were chilling. our north of england correspondent judith moritz reports. the teddy bear that cheryl korbel has been clasping is made from her daughter's pyjamas. some small comfort as she arrived to see her daughter's murderer sentenced. but in a cruel insult, she was denied the opportunity to look into the eyes of thomas cashman. he had been brought to court amid tight security this morning, having last week being convicted of the little girl's murder. i was in court as olivia's family waited for cashman to be

brought up from the cells. they waited and waited some more, the police and prosecution waited, the jurors waited, and then cashman�*s barrister said he wouldn't be coming. the glass doc stayed empty and the hearing happened without him. it meant he wasn't there to hear cheryl korbel as she went into the witness box to speak about her daughter's murder. she cried and said the things she misses most is hearing olivia say ma'am. everything is so quiet now, she said, i can't cope with the silence. cheryl korbel was supported in court by her family as the sentence was passed. we can now draw a — as the sentence was passed. we can now draw a line _ as the sentence was passed. we can now draw a line under seven - as the sentence was passed. we can now draw a line under seven months of agonising torment that we have had to endure at the hands of cashman. my thanks go to the witnesses who bravely assisted the prosecution case and defied the usual stance of people do not grass. olivia was shot last august.

terrified, she had got out of bed after hearing gunfire in the street. cashman was chasing another drugs dealer, joseph nee. he fired at him but his gunjammed and nee ran to an open doorway, olivia's house. cashman shot as nee barged in, the bullet went through the door. the real gravity _ bullet went through the door. tia: real gravity of this bullet went through the door. ti9 real gravity of this case bullet went through the door. ti9: real gravity of this case is bullet went through the door. ti9 real gravity of this case is that a young child was shot and killed in her own home. as children do, olivia was coming downstairs to seek reassurance. cheryl korbel should have been able to give that reassurance and to tuck olivia back into bed. what happened instead was chilling and strikes fear not only into the immediate community but also into the minds of other children and their parents. cashman was cau~ht children and their parents. cashman was caught after a _ children and their parents. cashman was caught after a large-scale - was caught after a large—scale

manhunt. the two guns he used haven't been found. tonight he is beginning a 42 year stretch behind bars. the father of two himself, he has shown no remorse and taken no responsibility for murdering another parent's child. it's the dreadful human cost you can't get away from here, the senseless waste of a young life which had barely begun. olivia's auntie summed it up when she said her niece had died a scared nine—year—old and she hoped that fact alone would haunt cashman for the rest of his days, and she added she hopes his conviction will lead to more guns being handed in so no family has to go through the same tragedy as olivia's. judith, thank you. and there's a special panorama tonight called the drugs war that

killed olivia, that's on bbc one at eight o'clock and on the iplayer. members of england's largest teaching union are to strike for another two days after voting by an overwhelming majority to reject the latest pay offer from the government. the education secretary called it "extremely disappointing" and said it will result in more disruption for children. teachers were offered an additional £1,000 one—off payment this year and a pay rise of 4.3% from september, along with the introduction of a £30,000 starting salary. but that was turned down by the national education union as insulting, and walk—outs are now planned on the 27th of april and also on the 2nd of may. our education editor branwen jeffreys reports from harrogate, where the neu's annual conference is taking place.

and political correctness in dealing with perpetrators. under the plans, specialist officers would be sent to help local police forces with their investigations as part of a drive to crack down on child sexual exploitation. our home affairs correspondent tom symonds is here with me. what is the context is behind today's announcement? there is a local election coming, and politicians are often asked what they will do about grooming gangs, it's one of those things you often hear asked online. this task force will step in and help. it's not yet clear if they will be any new money and resources behind that, but i think the reason the government has been accused ofjumping into the culture wars today is that it has focused in on this type of sexual abuse and on race and on whether political correctness is making it worse. 50 political correctness is making it worse. ,, :, :, , : political correctness is making it worse. . , . ., worse. so what is the evidence that ethnici is worse. so what is the evidence that ethnicity is a _ worse. so what is the evidence that ethnicity is a factor _ worse. so what is the evidence that ethnicity is a factor here? _ worse. so what is the evidence that ethnicity is a factor here? the - worse. so what is the evidence that| ethnicity is a factor here? the home secretary said _ ethnicity is a factor here? the home secretary said that _ ethnicity is a factor here? the home

reporting there- _ and in russia, an anti—war campaigner has been detained by officials over the killing of a well—known pro—military blogger in st petersburg. it's been reported that vladlen tatarsky died in an explosion shortly after being presented with a statuette yesterday evening. the woman being held, darya trepova, was previously arrested for taking part in protests against russia's invasion of ukraine. this report from our security correspondent, frank gardner, contains some distressing images. an ordinary scene on an ordinary street in saint petersburg. a woman enters a cafe carrying a box containing a statuette. it is hard to verify this, but russia says she was delivering a bomb. inside the cafe there's a meeting of russian pro—war activists. the invited speaker is this man, vladen tatarsky, a prolific blogger with over half a million followers. and then this. the explosion killed him outright

and injured over 30 others. russian officials were quick to blame ukraine, which denied it. but the suspect now detained is not ukrainian, she's russian. police are naming her as darya trepova, an anti—war activist. they have released this footage of her being arrested at home. she is then seen being questioned, apparently under duress. russia says she has confessed to carrying the statuette which killed tatarsky in the cafe. he was a big figure amongst russian military bloggers. a former convict, he fought against ukraine in the donbas. he was highly critical of russian failures on the battlefield, leading some to suspect inter—russian rivalry. well, this is a really murky incident. despite all the claims and counter claims, it is not immediately clear exactly who was behind this explosion.

to help guide us through it is olga from the bbc russian service. olga, what is your take on this explosion? russian war supporters and many other experts believe it must be ukrainian intelligence behind this attack. the russian investigative committee thinks that russian opposition was also involved. we need to remember that last year another prominent vocal supporter of the war was targeted in moscow. on the other hand, many russian war commanders were killed in strange circumstances since 2014. as russian investigators piece together what happened yesterday in st petersburg, the propaganda war continues. russia says this was ukraine—linked terrorism. ukraine's presidential adviser says it was russian on russian. spiders, he tweeted, are eating each other in a jar. frank gardner, bbc news. the time is 6.15pm. our top story this evening... a man has been sentenced

to a minimum of 42 years in prison for murdering nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel in liverpool last summer. and residents in a block of london flats ask why it took authorities two years to discover their dead neighbour's body despite several attempts to raise the alarm. coming up on the bbc news channel... we'll be at goodison park on a big night at both ends of the premier league table as everton, fighting surival, take on champions league chasing tottenham. survivors of the manchester arena attack are taking legal action, thought to be the first of its kind, against a conspiracy theorist who claims the attack was faked. martin and eve hibbert, who were left with severe disabilities after the 2017 blast, are suing richard d hall for defamation and harassment. let's hear more on this from our correspondent marianna spring who's in a new hub above

the newsroom bringing together our experts on disinformation and fact—checking. this is martin hibbert. he survived the bombing at the manchester arena that happened in 2017, and killed 22 people. martin and his daughter eva were left severely disabled after the attack and since then they have been targeted with conspiracy theories and tight, denying what happened is suggesting the attack was stage and they were lying about their injuries. now they have launched legal action against this man, richard de hall. last year i revealed how this conspiracy theories targeted martin and other manchester arena survivors. he even posted online about how he tracked them down to their home and work places to see why they were lying about their injuries. it is similar to a case in the us. alexjones suggested the sandy hook school shooting was a hoax. but he was taken to court by families affected

by that shooting because of the hate and harassment they suffered after the conspiracy. he was ordered to pay almost $1.5 billion in damages. there is not much money involved here, but let me tell you about the tactics hall was using to get to the manchester survivors. in merthyr tydfil he sold dvds and conspiracies, including about the attack on manchester arena. he tracked the manchester arena survivors to wales near portmeirion and also to the areas around manchester. they told me how they were left feeling unsafe and frightened by his tactics. since the investigation, hall has continued to quote online about the manchester arena attack. at the time i confronted him about the store he ran and he told me i was wrong about how he operated. he since confirmed his position, suggesting again the manchester arena attack was staged or fabricated. manchester arena attack was staged orfabricated. i have been in touch with him about the legal action, but he hasn't responded. his youtube

channel, which had over 80,000 survivors, was taken down at his door was closed. the manchester mayor andy burnham also said he wants to campaign for new laws that could better protect people like martin and eve. but that would not be easy. we know there are lots of questions about how to balance protecting users from harmful content online, but also protecting the right to freedom of expression. it is an issue that policymakers and social media sites have been grappling with for some time. martin thinks the solution for him is to go through the course and see whether the legal system can afford him some justice. if you want to hear more about martin's story and the legal case, you can listen to a podcast on

bbc sound and radio four. marianna spring donald trump is on his way to new york to face arrest in a case involving the payment of $130,000 to an adult film star. it's the first time ever that a former president has faced criminal prosecution. the charges are due to be made public tomorrow when mr trump appears before a judge. his legal team say he will plead innocent and vigorously contest the case. our north america editor, sarah smith, is outside the court in new york. what can we expect in the coming days? as you said, donald trump is currently making his way from florida to new york and when he gets here he will spend the night in his penthouse in trump tower before tomorrow making his way to the manhattan criminal court to surrender himself. that means we will not see pictures of him being led into the courthouse in handcuffs. but once he is in sight he will be fingerprinted and have a dna sample taken like any other defendant. don't expect to see him looking embarrassed or shamefaced in any way. he has obviously decided to

embrace the worldwide attention that is going with this imminent arrest, relishing being back in the spotlight once again. he seems convinced that what he claims is a politically motivated case against him isjust going to galvanise his supporters and actually boost his campaign to get back into the white house. he thinks he can spin this is good news for the donald trump cam-rain. ., good news for the donald trump camuain. :, :, ~' the brother of tv presenter guilty of sexually abusing a teenage boy over a period of three years. timothy schofield was convicted of 11 sexual offences involving a child between october 2016 and october 2019, including two of sexual activity with a child, following a trial at exeter crown court. our south—west england correspondent jenny kumah is there for us. jenny. timothy schofield worked in it for avon and somerset police during the time the abuse happened. he denies 11 sexual offences, including two sexual activity acts with a child. he told the jury he watched pornography with a 16—year—old. he said the teenager had consented and there was no physical contact between them. he also told the jury about his mental health struggles,

saying he had been gay all his life, this had been really difficult because he had told nobody. but the prosecution argued that the child had been under 16 and there was sexual activity. after five hours, the jury delivered their verdict, guilty of all sexual offences. today his brother, the tv presenter phillip schofield, gave a statement. he said that he welcomed the guilty verdict and he said that as far as he was concerned, he no longer had a brother. :, ~ he was concerned, he no longer had a brother. . ~ , :, residents in a block of flats in south london are considering legal action against the housing association peabody after their neighbour lay dead for two—and—a—half years before her body was found. sheila seleoane's neighbours say it had been obvious for a long time that something was wrong, but their concerns were ignored. harry farley reports. sheila seleoane died in this flat alone in august 2019. she was deeply isolated.

she had no family she was in touch with, no friends turned up to herfuneral. when police broke down her door two and a half years after she died, they found a tidy, clean apartment and a body that could only be identified by dental records. neighbours like audrey peroule say that for months they had been trying to raise the alarm with the housing association, peabody. for the first i'd say year—and—a—half you couldn't stand in this hallway because the smell was just like nauseous, itjust made you sick. 1a months after sheila died police did come and do a welfare check here. on the first visit they didn't enter the flat and a mistake by a police operator meant peabody was told that sheila had been seen alive and well. the metropolitan police apologised. it would be more than a year later that sheila's body was eventually found.

but her neighbours blame peabody, who they say failed to listen when they raised concerns and missed multiple opportunities to find sheila in the first year after she died. there was always this gut feeling that something had happened to her, so it was just devastating to know that she was there all along. um... i do want to get it out because i don't think peabody actually realise how much it has affected us. and we are still living in that sort of devastation and trauma. i literally face sheila's flat every day i leave my house. i am reminded of what happened and it could have been avoided. peabody said they are trying to move sheila's neighbours but there is a desperate shortage of social housing in london.

in a statement the organisation said they were devastated by what happened. they accepted that in the first year after sheila died they didn't do enough and said they had put in new ways of working since sheila was found. they added the case raises important questions for wider society. audrey and her neighbours say it has deeply impacted their lives. it's degrading what happened to sheila and it's inhumane. it should have never happened and never got to the point where it did. it's made me look at my neighbours and my community differently, that we should really look out for other people. harry farley, bbc news. in the waters south of japan scientists have caught and filmed fish at the greatest ever depth on record. this is a snailfish and it was found over eight kilometres below the sea. at that depth, it would experience

800 times the pressure than at the ocean surface. but scientists say the gelatinous make—up of their bodies help them to survive. from dc to deep space. the us space agency nasa has revealed the four astronauts who will orbit the moon aboard its orion spacecraft next year. the artemis ii mission is the first crewed flight aimed at eventually returning astronauts to the moon's surface. our science editor rebecca morelle has this report. it's a new era of pioneers and adventures. vying for seats on the most sought after mission in 50 years on a spacecraft that is heading back to the moon. four astronauts ready to make history. and now they have been revealed. nasa's christina koch, who holds the record for the longest continuous stay in space by a woman. jeremy hanson, from the canadian space agency, a fighter pilot and physicist. and nasa's former chief

astronaut reid weisman, the artemis ii commander. and making up the four, piloting the spacecraft will be victor glover. artemis ii is more than a mission to the moon and back, it's more than a mission that has to happen before we send people to the surface of the moon. it is the next step on the journey that gets humanity to mars. the one thing i'm most excited about is that we are going to carry your excitement, your aspirations, your dreams with us on this mission. artemis ii, your mission. three, two, one... and this is the rocket they'll be riding on. it made a test flight to the moon last year with no crew on board, passing with flying colours. now it's ready for the next step. the artemis ii mission will lift off from cape canaveral in florida. the spacecraft will spend the first 42 hours orbiting the earth,

testing the life support systems. it's the first time they'll have been used. the astronauts will then spend four days travelling to the moon, flying far beyond it, before heading back for a splashdown in the pacific ocean. the whole trip will take about ten days. from the crew of apollo 8, a merry christmas. l and god bless all of i you on the good earth. the apollo 8 crew were the first people to see an earthrise as it appeared above the barren lunar surface. now, this next generation will get to take in these views again. their mission is scheduled to take off at the end of next year. rebecca morelle, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's sarah keith—lucas. blue skies at last, sarah. blue skies at last, sarah. blue skies at last, sarah. blue skies and some strength to the sunshine. it has been a dry day across many parts of the uk today

and the blue sky and the sunshine has arrived. this was east lothian earlier on. more of the same to come tomorrow. much of the uk stays dry tomorrow, again with long spells of spring sunshine. but there will be some more cloud and rain moving in towards the north—west and that is down to the fact we have a weather front pushing its way in from the atlantic and that will bring increasing cloud and outbreaks of rain through tonight and into tomorrow. high pressure sits to the east and that will be a dominant feature of our weather, at least for the next 2a hours or so. the rest of the next 2a hours or so. the rest of the evening, once the sun sets, the temperatures will drop off quite quickly, so we are likely to see temperatures perhaps as low as “4 or -5. temperatures perhaps as low as “4 or —5. across the north west things stay a bit milder where you have more clout and outbreaks of rain. in the morning that cloud will filter into parts of northern ireland and the western isles, with light, patchy rain in the morning. eastern

scotland and england and wales stay dry and sunny. temperatures a bit warmer than today, particularly on the east coast. highs of 1a or 15, but that weather front in the north west continues its progress towards the south—east as we look towards the south—east as we look towards the middle part of the week and that will bring rain on wednesday, initially in scotland and northern ireland, pushing eastwards into england and wales. the far south could stay dry and clear for much of the day. temperatures 213 or 1a degrees. something clearer moving into the north—west later on. it looks like we will have that unsettled weather, so reina lasted through into wednesday and thursday. at the moment it is fairly optimistic for good friday and into the easter weekend. it is looking largely and settled. thanks, sarah. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. from the six team it's goodbye. the news continues here on bbc one as now it's time
