try to defend themselves, i don't know about fireworks, i don't think fireworks are machine guns. but still, these are captive people who are worshiping in their own wholly sacred place. in the israeli military and so—called security forces stormed the place why should they storm that place? that's the real question. and put things in context. these are not asides, use both a side as... context. these are not asides, use both a side as. . ._ both a side as... no. i'm going to interruot- — both a side as... no. i'm going to interruot- we _ both a side as... no. i'm going to interrupt. we have _ both a side as... no. i'm going to interrupt. we have as _ both a side as... no. i'm going to interrupt. we have as you - both a side as... no. i'm going to interrupt. we have as you say - both a side as... no. i'm going to i interrupt. we have as you say seeing this movie played out over and over again. the otherfact is... that is reality. the palestinian authority essentially is crumbling. they have not been able to have some kind of united front to be able to speak to the other side. i had a commentator on earlier who said it was increasingly seeing the israeli government, a right—wing government.

[30 double standards of the world... do you think the arab states are doing a good enoughjob in intervening? not at all. i think they themselves feel beholden or dependent on western approval. and many of them, a few of the regimes try to

normalise israel for that we are seeing how it backfires. their own people are not interested in normalising the occupation and the oppression of the palestinian people. no. we need a lot of will, determination, political will and backbone in order to come to the rescue of the palestinian people who have been left totally vulnerable by israel, while israel is been allowed to act with you impunity. not only that it to act with you impunity. not only thatitis to act with you impunity. not only that it is rewarded for the ongoing violence to the occupation. it's a daily aggression. it's the most pervasive and inclusive form of violence. let's look at it this way, let's frame things the right way instead ofjust picking and choosing here and there the way israel tries to distort the situation.— to distort the situation. hanan ashrawi, always _ to distort the situation. hanan ashrawi, always good - to distort the situation. hanan ashrawi, always good to - to distort the situation. hanan ashrawi, always good to talk | to distort the situation. hanan l ashrawi, always good to talk to to distort the situation. hanan - ashrawi, always good to talk to you. thank you forjoining us.— thank you for “oining us. thank you, aood to thank you for “oining us. thank you, good to talk— thank you forjoining us. thank you, good to talk to _ thank you forjoining us. thank you,

good to talk to you. _ wall streetjournal reporter evan gershkovich, who was arrested and charged with espionage in russia last week, met his lawyers for the first time on tuesday according to the papers' editor in chief. last thursday a moscow court remanded gershkovich in pretrial detention until may 29. the charges he faces carry a prison term of up to 20 years. many western and some russian analysts suggest the arrest was a move by moscow to secure a bargaining chip with washington, four months after a high profile prisoner swap where it traded us basketball star brittney griner for convicted russian arms trafficker viktor bout. speaking earlier in brussels, the us secretary of state antony blinken said the us is working through a process to determine whether the detention is wrongful. there is no higher priority than the safety and security of american citizens around the world. that includes those who may be unlawfully detained, hostage or otherwise kept from coming home. and being with

that is correct. we've reported that they are preparing to issue this wrongful detention determination. so expect that in the coming days. we alsojust reported that he met with also just reported that he met with his lawyers on tuesday. are they his lawyers or are there lawyers assigned to him?— lawyers or are there lawyers assirned to him? , ., ., , , assigned to him? they are lawyers retained by — assigned to him? they are lawyers retained by the _ assigned to him? they are lawyers retained by the wall _ assigned to him? they are lawyers retained by the wall street - assigned to him? they are lawyers| retained by the wall street journal. retained by the wall streetjournal. that's good. when he was brought into court he was given a state appointed attorney and our lawyers were not allowed in to see him. they did get in on tuesday, they reported back that he seems to be in good health and good spirit. that's very encouraging. health and good spirit. that's very encouraging-— encouraging. hopefully, that will continue. what _ encouraging. hopefully, that will continue. what do _ encouraging. hopefully, that will continue. what do you _ encouraging. hopefully, that will continue. what do you think- encouraging. hopefully, that will continue. what do you think is i encouraging. hopefully, that will. continue. what do you think is going to happen now? hopefully, he's quickly released but we also see situations with others. obviously, we want him _ situations with others. obviously, we want him out _ situations with others. obviously, we want him out as _ situations with others. obviously, we want him out as soon - situations with others. obviously, we want him out as soon as - situations with others. obviously, i we want him out as soon as humanly possible and we are doing all we can to achieve that. there's a term for

one of the world's biggest online criminal marketplaces has been taken down in a global sting operation. genesis market sold stolen login details that allowed fraudsters to access bank and shopping accounts. around a 120 people were arrested in australia, the united states, canada, the eu and uk. here in the uk, 24 people have been arrested. daniel sandford has more. come to the door! police! come to the door! an early morning raid in grimsby yesterday. the beginning of the uk contribution to an international operation against online fraud. officers from the national crime agency and the police arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of fraud and computer misuse. one of 24 people arrested in the uk. the target of the raids was the genesis market website, a one—stop shop for hackers who could log in and buy stolen passwords for bank accounts, paypal accounts and accounts for services like amazon,

uber and netflix. what was particularly dangerous about the data being sold on the genesis market website was that it wasn't just log in details. the hackers could purchase all of what is known as your digital fingerprints, your browser information, your ip address and your physical location. so that when the hackers logged in to a bank account or shopping website, it really did look as if they were the original user. hackers trying to use genesis market today did not get the usual login page. rather, they got this message from the fbi saying the website had been seized as part of operation cookie monster, a reference to the fact that one of the things that genesis market was selling was computer cookies to help hackers impersonate genuine users. for too long criminals have stolen credentials from innocent members of the public. we now want criminals to be afraid that we have their credentials, and they should be. members of the public are being reminded that to avoid fraud they should use two factor

authentication where possible. that is when a text message with a one use password is sent as part of the login process. daniel sandford, bbc news, at the national crime agency. you are watching bbc news. to scotland now. peter murrell the husband of scotland's former first minister nicola sturgeon has been arrested as part of a police investigation into the finances of the scottish national party. the snp which campaigns for scottish independence is the party in control of scotland's devolved government. mr murrell was the snp's chief executive until he quit last month. a number of properties are also being searched, including the couple's home in glasgow. this is what ms sturgeon's successor, humza yousaf who only took over one week ago had to say about the investigation. i obviously i can't comment on a live police investigation. you would know that, but what i will say is that the snp has fully cooperated

with the investigation and it will continue to do so and of course on the weekend just past my first nec meeting as party leader, we agreed to carry out a review on governance, on transparency, and of course with some external input too. and the details of that will come forth in the next few days. when did you first hear the news about the arrest and what was your reaction? i was told this morning after the event and, of course, my reaction, as you'd imagine, much like anybody involved in the snp is that this is a difficult day for the party, but again, ijust reiterate and emphasise, it's so important for me not to comment on a live police investigation and be seen to prejudice that in any way, shape or form. is this the real reason why nicola sturgeon resigned? no, i believe nicola sturgeon absolutely, you know, she had taken the party as further forward as she possibly could. i think anybody who has particularly seen nicola through the covid pandemic could really sympathise with just how exhausted she absolutely was.

a new bbc investigation accuses a life coaching organisation of being occult. the group says it offers self development but people?who have?left say it's taken over their lives. people say they've? been encouraged to hand over tens of thousands of pounds, separate from their families and have suffered extreme? harassment. 0ne charity which helps people break free from abusive groups says it receives more calls about the organisation than any other in the uk. catrin nye reports. it's been 18 months since jeffrey leigh—jones left lighthouse international group, a life coaching company accused of being a cult. the 34—year—old sailor from portsmouth initially got involved with the organisation for business mentoring, but soon he was on the phone to his mentor at all hours of the day. at first i was motivated, i was inspired and i started working hard. these calls then became more frequent, longer, more intense,

more about deeper parts of your life. in time, i began to share traumatic things, things i found deeply painful. jeff was encouraged to become part of lighthouse full time. that meant being on group phone calls every day, often led by paul waugh, their charismatic leader. many people who don't know me very well think i'm a mystic because i'm able to sort of feel things no—one else can. all these calls were recorded, then painstakingly transcribed. they began to take overjeff�*s life. it got longer and longer as we went. so within six months, they're five to six hours. so i would listen in at times. the topics were getting more sinister — narcissists, toxic parents. and then that's when i started worrying because i thought he's literally being brainwashed all day, every day. what did they say about your family? my what did they say about your family? my partner don, and was flat. people

anal se my partner don, and was flat. people analyse how — my partner don, and was flat. people analyse how to _ my partner don, and was flat. people analyse how to look _ my partner don, and was flat. people analyse how to look at _ my partner don, and was flat. people analyse how to look at my _ my partner don, and was flat. people analyse how to look at my house - analyse how to look at my house became isolated so moving to shared houses. there is a financial cost to. in total, just paid £131,000 to the organisation. i consider lighthouse a very classic sample of occult. first it started by a charismatic and authoritarian leader. but there are also bullies. the structure is steeply hierarchical. that you have this process of what i call brainwashing, we could call coercive control. if you do this to people you cannot exploit them. you do this to people you cannot exoloit them-— you do this to people you cannot exloit them. , .,, ., ., exploit them. some people who have soken out exploit them. some people who have spoken out against _ exploit them. some people who have spoken out against the _ exploit them. some people who have spoken out against the group - exploit them. some people who have spoken out against the group have i spoken out against the group have been reported to the police. 0thers been reported to the police. others have had letters sent to their employers. 0ne have had letters sent to their employers. one week ago lighthouse international group was shut down as

a business by a court over a lack of financial transparency. we put our obligations to their leader. how do you feel about the fact that so many people think you're running occult? because they don't know what occult is they— because they don't know what occult is they don't know for them if you asked _ is they don't know for them if you asked people the difference between occult and a community that supports people, they wouldn't be able to tell you — people, they wouldn't be able to tell you. why do you think so many pebble say— tell you. why do you think so many people say a? because they are smearing — people say a? because they are smearing us. that's exactly what they do — smearing us. that's exactly what they do. are you get on? yes, we are carrying _ they do. are you get on? yes, we are carrying on _ they do. are you get on? yes, we are carrying on. that's it. no comment. that's it from me and team now here's the weather. hello there. not quite as much sunshine around today. for many, it's been quite a cloudy day, and there's been some outbreaks of rain, some of it quite drizzly at times, a bit of a nuisance, really. and all that cloud and rain is spilling its way steadily eastwards. there's several weather fronts that have been invading from the far northwest, that's where the strongest of the winds have been as well today. the best of the sunshine across southeast england, but it's not lasting because the cloud arrives and the rain will push its way in. you can see a slightly darker blue.

there's more intensity to the rain in the back edge of that wet weather. so there will be some heavier bursts from time to time slowly clearing its way eastwards. so, through the night, quite a lot of cloud around, yes, some outbreaks of rain, slowly improving across western scotland and northern ireland, here, a few scattered showers, but we keep that cloud and rain first thing in the morning. so temperatures are going to hold up above freezing, generally around 6—9 celsius. so a mild start to thursday, but it could be a cloudy and a rather wet one out to the east, as that frontal system's still yet to clear. a little ridge of high pressure starts to build in behind, and that means that the start of the easter weekend is looking quite promising. but for thursday morning, then, grey, dull and damp along the east for a time, slowly brightening up from the west. but there will be a rash of showers developing with that northwesterly wind feeding them in on the exposed coast, some of them heavy, maybe the odd rumble of thunder as well from time to time, with top temperatures ranging from 9—14 celsius. now, as we move out of thursday

into friday, that ridge of high pressure is set to build. it is going to last for the beginning of the easter weekend, but weather fronts starting to push in from the west, threatening certainly by easter monday. so for easter weekend, i suspect we could be chasing some cloud amounts around. let's take a look in a little more detail. along the east coast on friday, an easterly feed mightjust produce a little more cloud on those exposed east coasts. sheltered west perhaps seeing the best of the sunshine, but a good deal of dry weather generally across the country, and, again, 10—14 celsius. as we move out of good friday into the start of the weekend, saturday looks dry and settled, and the same too, really for easter sunday, maybe a little bit of rain from time to time, but the rain certainly is expected to arrive as we move into easter monday. that's it. take care.
