sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's chetan. we start with the english premier league. four matches to come later. chelsea's first game after sacking manager graham potter is against liverpool. both sides have struggled this season and are desperate for a win. interim chelsea boss bruno saltor says it'll be the first time he's picking a team — but he's hopeful the players will respond. seeing it as an opportunity for the players. we are representing chelsea, a club with an amazing history and it's about winning and dominating and what we need to do and preparation helps a lot to the

performance and that is what the players need to focus on. luke shaw has signed a new four—year contract with manchester united that will keep him at the club until 2027. the 27—year—old moved to old trafford from southampton in 2014 and has played 249 times for the club, winning both the league cup and europa league. he's made 36 appearances this season under erik ten hag, scoring once and making six assists. championship side reading have been deducted six points for breaching financial rules, making it the second time that's happened in 18 months. the efl first imposed a six—point deduction on the club in november 2021 — and they were automatically placed under a transfer embargo. following that they agreed to a business plan — but failed to stick to the terms of it, which led to today's points deduction. it leaves reading fourth from bottom in the championship, just one point outside the relegation zone. in the netherlands, amateur side sv spakenberg of the third tier take on the mighty psv in the semi—finals of the dutch cup.

the giantkillers have already seen off eredivisie sides gronigen and utrecht but coach chris de graaf admits the former european cup winners are a class above. if you believe, everything is possible. we have shown it. so that's the first thing, but this is from another level for us and also another level of us growing, so it will be a hard game, we know, but we have to prepare with a plan and make a chance. 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. 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 including six former champions. there has been tension between players from the pga and liv tours since the split but 2022 open champion cameron smith says the atmosphere at augusta has been good. 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 roland garros after withdrawing from the upcoming monte carlo masters.

the spaniard, an ii—time winner in monte carlo, 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 through injury. and some breaking news to bring you in the last hour that switzerland have been named hosts of the 2025 women's european championship. they beat a four—country nordic bid plus france and poland. straight back to new york, a huge day there and donald trump will be in court in the next few hours to face those criminal charges and these are the live pictures. just of trump tower. that is where the former president is holed up at the moment on fifth ave in the short

journey he will make in a while to the courthouse and the courthouse in lower manhattan and there is a high level of security around the courthouse itself and just across the road in the park nearby some of the road in the park nearby some of the people there, some of the supporters for donald trump there are protesters there as well and they are being kept well apart and we were playing you the clip of the new york mayor warning anyone coming to new york to behave and saying they would not put up with proceedings being interrupted the security is clearly on high alert there and new york has 35,000 police on alert on readiness today butjust small crowds that are kept opposite in the park, but in the next little while and we will see the former president go from trump tower and

then in the courthouse, it will be arrested and there fingerprints processed and then to the proceedings themselves in the courthouse with the indictment being unsealed and we get to see the charges for the first time. it was last thursday the news of the indictment broke and it elicited an instant response from the former president on twitter, raging against thejudge and the president on twitter, raging against the judge and the attorney general, but it's unclear if donald trump will talk to the cameras but all of that will play out in the next couple of hours. i want to play you a little of george santos the courthouse in new york. hold on. this isn't about _ courthouse in new york. hold on. this isn't about me. _ courthouse in new york. hold on. this isn't about me. you - courthouse in new york. hold on. this isn't about me. you should i this isn't about me. you should focus on the story, not trying to

up his own crafting company, he started the boyssewtoo movement, inspired by his friend and fellow sewing enthusiast, rob dawson, who died suddenly last year. and when rob passed away it was tough. we had a shared experience when we were younger being told no, we are not allowed to sew because we were a boy. now things have changed slightly, however the stigma is still there. it doesn't matter who you are, you should be able to do anything you want to do. you're live with bbc news. now time for business with ben tompson. richard branson�*s virgin 0rbit has filed for bankruptcy. the satellite launch company failed to secure the long—term funding needed to help it recover from a january rocket failure. last thursday, the company — which is based in california — sacked 85 percent of its staff, leaving just a hundred employees to run what was left of the company.

let's get the thought of a principal adviser at a consultancy in paris. thanks for being with us. what went wrong? we know there was the difficult launch, a catastrophic launch, but in this sort of industry you need to factor in failure, don't you? you need to factor in failure, don't ou? , , ., ., ., you need to factor in failure, don't ou? , i. ., ., .,, you? yes, you do. the failure was not really — you? yes, you do. the failure was not really instrumental _ you? yes, you do. the failure was not really instrumental in - you? yes, you do. the failure was not really instrumental in the - not really instrumental in the bankruptcy, i would rather not really instrumental in the bankruptcy, iwould rather align not really instrumental in the bankruptcy, i would rather align a series of errors and mistakes which led to the company reaching the end of its financial runway. virgin 0rbit is not the first and largest launch company to fail and there are more comic and this is why you see many players like virgin 0rbit diversifying from the launch business. diversifying from the launch business-— diversifying from the launch business. . ~ ., ., , business. talk to me a little bit about what _ business. talk to me a little bit about what the _ business. talk to me a little bit about what the company - business. talk to me a little bit about what the company does i business. talk to me a little bit - about what the company does because we should be clear there is a distinction between virgin galactic, travelling to space on the virgin

0rbit which was designed to put satellites into space which we know our use of so many devices now. yes indeed. our use of so many devices now. yes indeed- virgin _ our use of so many devices now. yes indeed. virgin 0rbit as our use of so many devices now. 123 indeed. virgin 0rbit as we knew it was created in 2017 as a spin off of virgin galactic and while it is focusing on space tourism, they focused on small satellites and the company initially was supposed to be our business under the same umbrella, using the same hardware and they gradually diversify and when separately and that's why they use margin aircraft to launch satellites. is use margin aircraft to launch satellites.— use margin aircraft to launch satellites. , , ., satellites. is this the end of the road are we _ satellites. is this the end of the road are we expecting - satellites. is this the end of the road are we expecting that - satellites. is this the end of the road are we expecting that a i satellites. is this the end of the i road are we expecting that a buyer with deep pockets will step in and snap up some of the technology and the work done in this field so far? the bankruptcy is happening at an interesting time and as an example of a launch company failure, virgin 0rbit failed after it demonstrated its capability and six launches

meaning that for any investor there is a flight proven asset which can be monetised and variable should the investor being able to support the company mitigate what the company has not been able to achieve to date which was mainly ramping up the launching and high—speed cruise. really interesting to hear your thoughts. us and eu officials are meeting today to discuss energy cooperation. the focus? according to the us: joint efforts to "blunt russia's attempts to weaponize energy and bolstering energy supplies for the coming winters." this comes as eu member states consider extending restrictions, or even outright banning, russian natural gas imports. samir is standing by, and there's been a lot of talk and it's always

at the centre of the dispute about what is happening in russia and ukraine versus the rest of the world dependence on some of the energy exporting from there.— exporting from there. absolutely. remember— exporting from there. absolutely. remember the _ exporting from there. absolutely. remember the united _ exporting from there. absolutely. remember the united states - exporting from there. absolutely. remember the united states has| exporting from there. absolutely. - remember the united states has been at the forefront in terms of mobilising support to rally around ukraine's push against the russian offensive and this has always been a big part of it, of course, with russia being such a massive player when it comes to energy, especially in terms of how much energy it provides to the european union, so since the war began, over the last year we've seen europe's energy dependence on russia has significantly declined for a few reasons and that might be the increase investments into the green subsidy but from the american perspective they have ramped up natural gas deliveries to europe by more than double see what we are seeing now is the two sides are

trying to strengthen some of the commitments in order to further isolate russia.— isolate russia. there might be a olitical isolate russia. there might be a political will _ isolate russia. there might be a political will to _ isolate russia. there might be a political will to do _ isolate russia. there might be a political will to do this _ isolate russia. there might be a political will to do this but - isolate russia. there might be a political will to do this but the i political will to do this but the economic reality is many industries are energy intensive and we know the price has risen for gas and oil around the world. and in some respects some countries have a few choices and we know countries like china are continuing to trade with russia. ., . ., , ., ., russia. there are countries that are not auoin russia. there are countries that are rrot going to — russia. there are countries that are not going to bend — russia. there are countries that are not going to bend to _ russia. there are countries that are not going to bend to the _ russia. there are countries that are not going to bend to the will- russia. there are countries that are not going to bend to the will of- russia. there are countries that are not going to bend to the will of the | not going to bend to the will of the us so to speak and to see they will not take any energy from russia. that said, the united states is in a position where they want to make those efforts and we managed to get through one winter season but they are always looking forward to try and get as much energy and fuel together to try and avoid any kind of price hikes, especially come the winter. ,., ., of price hikes, especially come the winter. ., ., ~

of price hikes, especially come the winter. ., ., ,, ., tiktok has been fined £12.7 million by the uk data watchdog for failing to protect the privacy of children. an investigation conducted by the information commissioner's 0ffice found the video sharing app breached data protection law on a number of occaisions. in a statement the uk information commissioner said "there are laws in place to make sure our children are as safe in the digital world as they are in the physical world. tiktok did not abide by those laws." there's a rule that you can't be on these apps if you are under the age of 13. you'd to get parental consent. tiktok didn't make sure that was happening in the case of an estimated 1.4 children for a 26 month period from 2018 to 2020. so it's quite a big deal, because you can get quite a lot from that data. what you can do is you can track and profile children, but you can also target them with inappropriate content, of which there is plenty on tiktok. you alluded there to what that data

perhaps would be used for. just give us a sense, because we know that all of these tech firms, they offer a service for free. where they make their money is our data? that's right. they they are only really happy to pay the fines that they routinely get from regulators, because as long as their business model is not interrupted, as long as they can keep taking data and occasionally get their knuckles rapped and take a small fine, they keep making profits that in the billions of dollars. these fines are derisory. it's interesting, i'm just looking at what tiktok has been saying in response to that. of course, this is one of the largest fines the information commissioner's office has issued. does this really dent what tiktok can do? as you said, it is a portion of their revenue but they are making a lot of money. they were originally going to be fined £27 million and they made representations to the regulator and whoever did that has earned their

salary because the fine is £12.5 million which is less than half of the original amount. it works out to about £9 per child. to put that into perspective. the view on the fine imposed by the information commissioner, 12.7 million, the largest fine it has ever issued to date. in other business news, the former uk conservative chancellor nigel lawson has died at the age of 91. holding several cabinet posts under margaret thatcher in the 1980s, he was seen as one of the most consequential of all post—war uk chancellors. he is credited with creating powerful entrepreneurial forces in a decade also remembered around the uk as a time of widening inequality. a federaljury in san francisco has ordered tesla to pay about $3.2 million to a black former employee. the electric—vehicle maker was found to have failed to prevent severe racial harassment at its flagship assembly plant in california.

amsterdam's schiphol airport plans to cut late—night flights as part of attempts to reduce noise pollution, according to reports in a dutch newspaper. citing the airport's chief executive, the newspaper — het parool — reports that plans for the airport will include closing almost completely between midnight and 5 am don't forget you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter. a bad day for the thai companies. truth be told, i left mine two floors up and it was too late to go back and get it. thanks for taking us to that. let's return to those pictures, because the countdown continues to donald trump appearing the at the courthouse. we've been watching those pictures, monitoring some of donald trump's supporters that are being kept across the way a

little in terms of numbers we saw some crowds, but not huge numbers and there were flags and banners to support the former president but the clear warning last night from the mayor of new york and i will take you from there to work donald trump currently is and that is trump tower with his legal team and interestingly he added a new lawyer to the team early last night, the former prosecutor, so all of those last—minute tactics being considered, and of course they will head to the courthouse and he will be formally arrested, fingerprints and processing and then they are camped in the corridors inside of the court room and still pictures done for the court room before they get going but there are cameras in the corridors to see if the former president talks to them and he

normally doesn't resist, but we will be there, live in new york over the coming minutes to see all of those developments. they are live pictures here, and you are watching bbc news. we will return to that in the coming minutes. the british government has confirmed that half — of the funding promised to develop the social care workforce in england has been held back. ministers unveiled 2 billion pounds of grants for the next two years, but a total of 600 million pounds has been held back by the department of health and social care. some 250 million of it came from the 500 million pounds 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. quite 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 oand the aftermath and the cost of living crisis and extreme workforce pressures and nothing else has, come through and care which feels like a slap in the face, because if you think we have 165,000 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 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 the pieces. 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 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.

back to the trump trial in new york — and in the blizzerd of coverage — it's interesting to look at some of the top searches online. a lot around some of the terminology flying around. indictment, arrangement, and perp walk in one of my relatives was ask me last night what is the difference between an indictment and arrangement and courtney is going through some of those bbc searches. a lot of interest in the story as you can imagine on google trends, quite heavy traffic in the last 2a hours and only likely to increase. a lot of the questions have been about the process itself, so let's go through it. first we have indictment, the part that has already happened, the formal charges and next we have the arrest and we are not likely to see him be led in

handcuffs as we saw with harvey weinstein because we are told he will go through a private entrance and he will not be coughed and another thing we are not likely to see is justin another thing we are not likely to see isjustin bieber, with his mugshot, we also have a lindsay lohan and hugh grant. donald trump's lawyers have argued this part of the process, the mugshot is not necessary, because he has the most recognised face in the world and there is no need to identify him. if we go back to the process, one of the key terms people are searching his arraignment, number one and number three and that basically means that charges will be read to him in court and he will have to enter a plea. and you can see which plea he enters decides what happens next. we are told he will plead not guilty and if that happens it will go to trial but we don't have a timeline of when that is likely and as you can see as part of the arraignment process, thejudge might set bail which allows donald trump to go home to florida and not be taken into custody. that's a bit about the process and plenty more on our website and lots of analysis as

well. , , , ., ., well. very interesting some of the searches and _ well. very interesting some of the searches and questions _ well. very interesting some of the searches and questions people - well. very interesting some of the| searches and questions people are asking in terms of everything we have reported. now here's the weather with tomasz shaffernaker. rain is expected in some areas if it hasn't reached yet, but england and wales is under the influence of high pressure and you can see here, close to denmark and the nose shape stretching towards the south—west and talking about noses, a high pollen level across parts of england and wales through the course of the day and these levels will vary as we go through the rest of the week. the temperatures ending the afternoon

between 11 and 1a degrees. here is the cloud and outbreaks of rain in western and northern scotland and some spits and spots of rain reaching wales but the bulk of england should be drying clay into the evening and overnight and once again a touch of frost on the way across east anglia and the south—east and elsewhere it will be mild, because we are close to a weather front and the weather fronts are right over us and when you are in between them, that means there's a fair amount of mild air stuck, so tomorrow, wednesday, we are calling it a mild, tomorrow, wednesday, we are calling ita mild, damp, cloudy day tomorrow, wednesday, we are calling it a mild, damp, cloudy day for many areas across northern and western parts of the country and you can see the weather front makes more progress northwards but not so much east, so it looks as though in norwich and london it should be dry for the bulk of the day on wednesday. let's have a look at thursday as the weather front will have swept through the country and behind it more of a north—westerly breeze so things will feel cooler on thursday but more sunny spells

around and notice a few showers dotted around in the wake of that weather front which will be sweeping through wednesday into thursday. into next week on the weekend we pick up the south—westerly is and that will draw in much milder air from the south and the weather will settle down as well, so if we look at the outlook it looks as though things are going to turn a bit milder, 1a, 15, 16 degrees may be the high teens across the south of the high teens across the south of the country, and a bit more changeable further north. goodbye.
