sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre. british boxer amir khan has been banned from all sport for two years, after it emerged he tested positive for a prohibitive substance following his fight against kell brook in february last year. uk anti—doping says the former light—welterweight world champion tested positive for the anabolic agent ostarine. khan retired from boxing in may and accepts he broke anti—doping rules but says it wasn't intentional. an independent tribunal has accepted that argument, ruling out "deliberate or reckless conduct" by the 36—year—old. more boxing news to bring you — oleksandr usyk has been

ordered to defend his unified heavyweight titles against british fighter daniel dubois. it follows the collapse of usyk�*s proposed fight with tyson fury. the pair were set to meet later this month but couldn't agree terms, so usyk�*s attention will now turn to dubois who'll face his first world heavyweight title challenge. chelsea play liverpool at stamford bridge later in their first match since the departure of graham potter with bruno saltor replacing him as interim head coach. both sides have struggled for form this season, with liverpool managerjurgen klopp saying he believes he's only in a job because of his past acheivements at the club. iam here i am here to deliver. i'm not here as a talisman or whatever. or for the murals on the houses walls. i'm here to deliver. i know that, ioo%. i have nothing else in my mind, but i have nothing else in my mind, but i know as well i am still here because of what happened in the last

few years. i don't like the fact that they pretty much have to rely on that, but whether it is right or not, we will see in the future. but i am fully in stop there is no doubt about it. there is no doubt about it. but we have to sort it. barcelona host real madrid in the copa del rey semi—final second leg at the camp nou on wednesday. barca hold a 1—0 agregate lead from the first leg but their head coach xavi isn't taking anything for granted against the reigning european champions real. i expect a very tough game, very difficult game. it's real madrid, a winning team, and always difficult to play against them. yes, with the top players in the squad, so a very tough game tomorrow, but we will try tough game tomorrow, but we will try to do our best to dominate the game, control the possession, but it will be really tough.

golf's first major of the year gets underway later this week at augusta with several players from the liv golf tour vying for the coveted greenjacket. a total of 18 players from the saudi—backed tour will compete at augusta national this week and include six former champions in their ranks. there has been tension between players from the pga and liv tours since the split took place but 2022 open champion cameron smith says the atmosphere at augusta has been good so far. we've been out there and seen lots of familiar faces, lots of smiles and hugs and it's been nice. i don't think there's been any kind of hatred going on between the players. we are happy where we are and i'm just as happy for the guys running out on the pga tour as well as the liv golfers. iii—time french open champion rafael nadal remains a doubt for the french open after withdrawing from the upcoming monte carlo masters. the spaniard, an ii—time winner of the event which begins on saturday, withdrew with an ongoing hip injury

and hasn't played since his second round defeat at the australian open. in a further blow for the tournament, world number two carlos alacraz will also be absent due to hand and back problems and that's all the sport for now. lets return to our top story and go straight to new york — where donald trump will be in court in the next few hours, to face criminal charges. we can go to the pictures outside the courthouse. heavy security, as they expect some other donald trump supporters to be there. find they expect some other donald trump supporters to be there.— supporters to be there. and others, but inside the _ supporters to be there. and others, but inside the building, _ supporters to be there. and others, but inside the building, that - supporters to be there. and others, but inside the building, that is - but inside the building, that is where all the action will be in the coming hours. we will take you to trump tower because the security there already for the movements of there already for the movements of the former president as he makes the shortjourney from the former president as he makes the short journey from fifth ave to

lower manhattan, so the scene very much set and it will be an extraordinary next few hours, and just a slightly different angle around trump tower, and of course we have heard from the mayor of new york overnight, just warning anybody who comes to protest to show their support, warning them about their behaviour, very, very clear in terms of the words are used and we will play the clip in a moment or two but it will be fascinating in the coming hours in terms of the detail that we learn from inside the courthouse itself in terms of what we see, and of course the detail of the indictment becomes unsealed, because the charges, the details, all of that will be made public, not on camera but made public, and then we get to seejust camera but made public, and then we get to see just the level of detail

amongst the indictment. i mentioned the mayor of new york in a moment all so ago about the clear warning where he held a news conference yesterday evening, so let me play with a clip from the mayor of new york. �* ., ., ., , , . . york. although we have no specific threats, york. although we have no specific threats. peeple — york. although we have no specific threats, people like _ york. although we have no specific threats, people like marjorie - york. although we have no specific| threats, people like marjorie taylor green, who is known to spread misinformation and hate speech, she has stated she is coming to town and while you are in town be on your best behaviour. as always, we will not allow violence or vandalism of any kind, and if one is caught participating in any act of violence, they will be arrested and held accountable. that was the mayor, eric adams, and he could not be clear in terms of the warning he issued out to any trump supporters, but a very clearly

worded comment to marjorie taylor green, the representative republican, a staunch donald trump backer who has said she will be there in terms of having a demonstration offering her support, so a clear warning which brought an instant riposte from the representative, saying now he is threatening me, unbelievable, she said in a tweet. just some of the anxiety that the authorities have about what may or may not happen through the course of the day. what we don't know, and there are so many things we don't know, we don't know what is in the indictment in terms of the charges and we don't know if donald trump himself will speak to the various cameras that are there and any of the supporters that are there. we know he heads back to

trump tower first of all and mar lago eventually, because at the end of the day he is planning a news conference back in florida, but so much to happen between that and now. let me bring in gary o'donoghue who is there. we lost your line for a moment or two and we got you back. just take us through. in moment or two and we got you back. just take us through.— just take us through. in terms of what we heard _ just take us through. in terms of what we heard today, _ just take us through. in terms of i what we heard today, extraordinary drama, politics, the pr, and right at the core, criminal charges against a former president of the us. i against a former president of the us. ~' against a former president of the us. ~ , ., ., , , ., against a former president of the us. i think unquestionably a moment in time for this _ us. i think unquestionably a moment in time for this country _ us. i think unquestionably a moment in time for this country in _ in time for this country in particular, and i think the anticipation is beginning to rise here. just across the street where my cameraman is standing, in the direction i'm looking now, there is a little park and there's a few dozen protesters on each side who are making a lot of noise and we are

expecting the firebrand marjorie taylor greene to speak to the project trump supporters shortly and she has promised to do that, and the mayor of new york warned her by name, saying, don't come here, and if you do come here, behave yourself. we will see what she has to say in a few moments time, but the anticipation is rising because it's probably a couple of hours, may be slightly less before the former president will arrive across the road at the courthouse to see the charges against him and enter his plea and have his fingerprints taken. . ~ , ., ., plea and have his fingerprints taken. . ~ , ., . ~ taken. take us through what we think we know about _ taken. take us through what we think we know about the _ taken. take us through what we think we know about the optics _ taken. take us through what we think we know about the optics today. - taken. take us through what we think| we know about the optics today. what we know about the optics today. what we will see is — we know about the optics today. what we will see is the _ we know about the optics today. w�*ué�*ii we will see is the former we know about the optics today. liv"isgt we will see is the former president departing trump tower, sort of midtown manhattan and i'm sure he will be in a motorcade like

yesterday and there will probably be blue lights that have cleared the roads and he will be driven to the lower part of manhattan and will be taken into the courthouse. we don't know if we will see him on the way in or not what the plans are for that. and then he will be processed inside the court building and we know other cases will probably be suspended for that period of time, so his will be the only one being dealt with inside that building and once they have done that process, they will put him under arrest when he goes into the building, taking his fingerprints, doing the other bits and pieces of paper work and then he will move from the office into the hallway. this is interesting because there are cameras allowed in the hallway, television cameras will be allowed in the hallway and there is some suggestion from donald trump's lawyers to some of our american colleagues that he might choose to stop and say something to reporters at that point, either on his way

into the courtroom or after he comes out of the courtroom, so we will see, if we can. we often cannot resist a television camera, so we will see what happens this type and in the court room itself there will be a brief moment where some photographers are allowed to take still photographs, five of them will be allowed in their to stand in the jury be allowed in their to stand in the jury box and take some photographs and then the proceedings will begin and then the proceedings will begin and then the proceedings will begin and the indictment will be unsealed on the charges read and donald trump will enter his not guilty plea, i assume and that is the end of formal proceedings and there is no question of him being held injailand he will make his way straight back to laguardia airport to his private plane of plane we have all come to know with trump on the side and then head back to florida with address his supporters later this evening.

we will talk regularly through the course of the programme, but for now in new york, thanks very much for the latest. do head to the bbc website. we have a live page with all the developments and live pictures coming to us at the various locations i was taking you through. and constant updates, and that will be especially relevant when we have proceedings start and gary talking about the fingerprinting and processing and then the ceiling of the indictment so we get to learn the indictment so we get to learn the first time the nature and number of the charges, so all of that information will be on the live page, so see what is on there. so much detail to follow in the next few hours. the british government has confirmed that half of the funding funding promised to develop the social care workforce in england

has been held back. ministers unveiled £2 billion of grants for the next two years, but a total of £600 million has been held back by the department of health and social care. some 250 million of it came from the £500 million originally promised last year to support the workforce through measures such as extra training places. social care minister helen whately said the revised plan "focuses on recognising care with the status it deserves". currently about one in 10 posts are vacant with staffing shortages, and there are currently more than 500,000 people waiting for care. jackie o'sullivan is co—chair of the care and support alliance — which represents more than 70 charities. she's also director of communication, advocacy and activism at the charity mencap, which works with people with learning disabilities. we are grateful for your time on the programme. your immediate reaction to this funding being halved? iquite

to this funding being halved? quite frankl , it to this funding being halved? quite frankly, it feels _ to this funding being halved? quite frankly, it feels really _ to this funding being halved? cm vie: frankly, it feels really insulting. if you think borisjohnson when he was prime minister stood on the steps of downing street and said he was going to fix social care and then in 2021 we have a white paper which set out a really positive vision for what social care could look like in the future and since then we've been dealing with covid on the aftermath and the cost of living crisis and extreme workforce pressures and nothing else has, through and care which feels like a slap in the face, because if you think we have a vacancies, 10% of the workforce and the costs of that are the impact on quality for the people who get care and the impact on people who cannot get care and again, as you've identified, there's again, as you've identified, there's a lot of people in that situation and the stress that places on their families who are struggling to cope and battle with the system and the stress it puts on the other care workers as well who are left to pick

up workers as well who are left to pick up the pieces. i workers as well who are left to pick up the pieces-_ up the pieces. i will come back to the real world _ up the pieces. i will come back to the real world consequences - up the pieces. i will come back to the real world consequences in i up the pieces. i will come back to the real world consequences in a | the real world consequences in a moment, but you heard me read out the quote from the minister saying that it focuses the money and is also true that the grants from the department of health and social care representjust department of health and social care represent just one department of health and social care representjust one of the department of health and social care represent just one of the funding streams for councils, so is it clear to you where you have lost money from? �* , , to you where you have lost money from? �*, , ., ,, ., . from? it's been the workforce development _ from? it's been the workforce development fund, _ from? it's been the workforce development fund, but - from? it's been the workforce development fund, but what l from? it's been the workforce - development fund, but what really needs to develop is that more money needs to develop is that more money needs to develop is that more money needs to go into the total social care budget so there's been report after report including by the house of commons select committee saying that what the system need is about £8 billion per annum to stabilise it, and until we do that, we cannot pay support workers any more and until we get a decent workforce into the system, we can't make any reforms at all because it's too precarious as it is so in order to innovate and make the changes the government wants, they need to

stabilise it by putting more money in so people can pay support workers the wage to which they should be entitled and deserve. you reflected on it and boris _ entitled and deserve. you reflected on it and boris johnson _ entitled and deserve. you reflected on it and boris johnson did, - entitled and deserve. you reflected on it and boris johnson did, can - entitled and deserve. you reflected| on it and boris johnson did, can you on it and borisjohnson did, can you understand why social care has always remained the poor relation? it will cost money and people will feel its not a political issue, but it is. there are millions of people in the uk impacted by this, whether they are waiting to receive care in receipt of care or working in the sector or whether they are the families of loved ones that people should be getting care, so actually impacts far more of us than people realise, but because of the scale of the funding required, it's quite often put into the long grass. we have to leave it there, but thanks for giving us for your reaction. thank you for your time.

come to tech so it's really interesting to sit down with her, gauge the temperature of the many issues facing the technology sector and especially ai which is such a hot topic. it and especially ai which is such a hot toic. ., , , ., .,, hot topic. it really is and last week we _ hot topic. it really is and last week we were _ hot topic. it really is and last week we were reporting i hot topic. it really is and lastl week we were reporting some hot topic. it really is and last i week we were reporting some tech giants had been calling for a pause in the development of ai, such was the concern. what was her position on all of that? it the concern. what was her position on all of that?— on all of that? it was refreshing to hear from martha _ on all of that? it was refreshing to hear from martha lane _ on all of that? it was refreshing to hear from martha lane fox - on all of that? it was refreshing to hear from martha lane fox that i on all of that? it was refreshing to | hear from martha lane fox that we shouldn't get too caught up in the hype and hysteria surrounding ai because as you know, we reported on chat gpt, and it's grown in popularity may be ai chat gpt, and it's grown in popularity may be al was something we were discussing much on programmes, but then it seems like it is infiltrating every aspect of our lives but it has been allowed a long time and it's things like alexa, things people across the world will be using every day, but because of chat and gpt in the arms

race between google and big tech companies try to come up with technology there had been some concern about the wait was developed, but she was pretty candid about taking stock and taking a more rational approach, shall we say? i am of the view that you need to think about things carefully, but you can't stop them, right? there is no point all of the setting and going, "0h, ai is going to destroy the world." well, it's happening, right? technology isn't slowing down, it's speeding up, we are digitising. so we have to decide whether we are going to digitise in a way that is ethical, that is inclusive, that is sustainable, or whether we are going tojust let it take over and we're going to sit there being grumpy, you know? i'm not that person, i want to try and keep suggesting that we should put frameworks around the stuff, that companies should think carefully about the use of it, they should think about the unintended consequences, they should bring people into the room to have a decision on how these

technologies are deployed that perhaps weren't in the room before. just picking up on that final point at the end, because did she have a clear idea of how you regulate all of this? there are clearly enormous potential benefits but also a lot of real bear traps out there. i potential benefits but also a lot of real bear traps out there.- real bear traps out there. i think that is the _ real bear traps out there. i think that is the difficulty _ real bear traps out there. i think that is the difficulty for - real bear traps out there. i think i that is the difficulty for lawmakers and there are calls from the us and eu, and the uk to regulate artificial intelligence but the difficulty is that technology is moving at such a pace that it's difficult to understand how exactly will be done. we saw last week in italy that chat gpt was banned and the regulator were saying there were concerns over privacy but there were other concerns when it comes to ai. can it take ourjobs? well it promoted misinformation, will it promoted misinformation, will it promote bias, and those are the real issues that this technology presents and it's a difficulty and a problem for lawmakers to really understand

how they will go about regulating it in future but it's a challenge they are all facing.— are all facing. yes, lawmakers ara- linu are all facing. yes, lawmakers grappling with _ are all facing. yes, lawmakers grappling with that. _ are all facing. yes, lawmakers grappling with that. i - are all facing. yes, lawmakers l grappling with that. i mentioned are all facing. yes, lawmakers i grappling with that. i mentioned in the production that she was there during the whole saga of the elon musk takeover and i will get your thoughts in a moment but i wanted to play for viewers what she actually told you. exhausting, it was... you know, i feel very much as though i'm still kind of winding up from that experience and i feel on one level unbelievably lucky to have had a front row seat to one of the most extraordinary corporate events over the last decade, you know? iwas... over a period of time i chaired a couple of the committees, i sat on the transaction committee, i really did get to see what was happening right in the thick of it which, when you are seeing the headlines over here on one level and you are dealing with stuff on a daily basis on a level, that was quite an extraordinary experience. i feel as though i had a corporate career in a year—and—a—half that most people have in 25 years.

extraordinary experience. she could work as a diplomat because since all of that we have had controversy around twitter and elon musk. remember, this was a $41; billion deal and i can't imagine what it would have been like to navigate the company through that. she schedules had personal dealings with mr musk and wanted to find out what it was like and said he was very clear and businesslike and she did not give too much away but twitter has been in the headlines since the deal and continues to do so, even today there has been concern about the subscription model and the verification and some people have noticed that the bluebird icon had changed to a little dog icon, a favourite meme of elon musk and something he was playing around with, so twitter still in the headlines and i'm sure there are

many cost—cutting decisions to be made in the future and we will see changes in the platform to come. . thank you for taking us through all of that. now we've been in new york a lot already with donald trump but i want to show you pictures from their entirely different but quite something. have a look at this. lightening — striking just once — but with incredible results in the big apple. they were taken by earthcam— a network of live streaming cameras — on saturday night. the bolt hits the tallest building in new york city, the one world trade center — lots of diferent angles — all though staggering. that's a lighting strike with a difference. we can take you back to the live pictures in new york, again quite different, but that is where so many

of the world's media have their cameras focused on that is the courthouse, because we expect in the coming hours donald trump to face those criminal charges. back with more hear in a moment or two. hello. well, let's see how the weather is looking for the rest of the day. for most of us, actually, not bad at all. bright, if not sunny weather, particularly across england and wales. not necessarily the case in scotland and northern ireland. we're closer to a weather front here and, in fact, rain is expected in some areas if it hasn't reached you already. but england and wales is under the influence of high pressure. you can see it here close to denmark and this sort of nose shape stretching towards the southwest. talking about noses, also high pollen levels across parts of england and wales through the course of today. and these levels will vary as we go through the rest of the week.

now here are the temperatures, end of the afternoon typically 11 to ia degrees. here's that thicker cloud and the outbreaks of rain reaching northern ireland, western and northern scotland, perhaps a few spits and spots of rain through the early hours reaching wales too. but the bulk of england should be dry and clear into the evening and overnight. and once again a touch of frost on the way, particularly across east anglia and the south east. elsewhere it is going to be mild because we are close to weather fronts. in fact, the weather fronts are right over us. when you're in between weather fronts like this, that means there's a fair amount of mild air stuck. so tomorrow, wednesday, we're calling ita mild, damp, cloudy day for many areas across northern and western parts of the country. you can see that weather front makes more progress northwards, not so much eastwards. so it does look as though in norwich and in london it should be dry for the bulk of the day on wednesday. let's have a look at thursday. the weather front will have swept through the country. behind it, more of a northwesterly breeze. so things are going to feel a little bit cooler on thursday,

a bit more sunny spells around and notice a few showers dotted around in the wake of that weather front, which will be sweeping through wednesday night into thursday. and then friday, the weekend and into next week, it does look as though we pick up these south—westerlies — that is going to draw in much milder air from the south. the weather will settle down as well. so if we look at the outlook, it does look as though things are going to turn quite a bit milder —14,15,i6 degrees. possibly the high teens across the south of the country. a little bit more changeable further north. bye— bye.
