hello, i'm sarah campbell. you're watching the context on bbc news. russian state media says the american journalist evan gershkovich has been formally charged with espionage. two british—israeli citizens have been killed in an attack in the occupied west bank. earlier, israel launched air strikes on gaza and lebanon — calling it retaliation for several dozen hamas rockets fired at israel. 25 years ago, the good friday agreement was signed, marking an end to the sectarian violence. but police warn of potential attacks ahead of the anniversary.

we start tonight with reports on russian state media that an american journalist has been formally charged with spying. evan gershkovich, who works for the newspaper the wall streetjournal, was arrested last week, taken to court and detained. the kremlin said at the time he'd been caught "red—handed". gershkovich has denied he's done anything wrong. speaking a little earlier, the head of the global magnitskyjustice campaign, bill browder told us why he thinks gershkovich has really been charged. i think we should look beyond their legalistic explanations of this. this is — he's been taken as a hostage, the russian government. vladimir putin needs some high value western hostages. evan gershkovich is a high value hostage. he works for the wall streetjournal. he's a high profile person. and the reason putin wants to take these hostages is that he has a bunch of people who have been arrested, a bunch of spies and a bunch of money launderers who have been arrested

around the world. and he wants to have a currency to get those people traded back. and after brittney griner, the us basketball player, was so successfully swapped for viktor bout, the arms dealer, i think putin has developed a taste for this type of thing. let's speak now to brett bruen. he was director of global engagement in president obama's white house, and was a us diplomat for 12 years. he now runs the global situation room, a crisis management consultancy. thank you very much forjoining me this evening. this is a serious situation. what can you tell us about what will be happening behind the scenes? iretell about what will be happening behind the scenes? ~ , ., ., the scenes? well i can tell you that the scenes? well i can tell you that the american _ the scenes? well i can tell you that the american government - the scenes? well i can tell you that the american government is - the scenes? well i can tell you that the american government is very . the american government is very actively involved, both with their russian counterpart, but also trying to communicate through our allies. in terms of what putin needs to do in order both obviously to secure the release of this wall street

journal reporter but also perhaps even more importantly to end this practice of trying to use high—profile americans as pawns in an effort both obviously to secure the release of russians who have been arrested overseas as well as quite frankly additional concessions.— quite frankly additional concessions. ., ., ,., , concessions. you heard him saying this was a hostage _ concessions. you heard him saying this was a hostage situation. - concessions. you heard him saying | this was a hostage situation. russia say he's been arrested on espionage charges which he denies. is this a hostage situation�*s charges which he denies. is this a hostage situation'_ hostage situation's without a auestion hostage situation's without a question this _ hostage situation's without a question this is. _ hostage situation's without a question this is. and - hostage situation's without a question this is. and it - hostage situation's without a question this is. and it is - hostage situation's without a l question this is. and it is what hostage situation's without a - question this is. and it is what we saw is what with britney greiner, and quite frankly what we have seen in other cases where the russians engage in this kind of practice. it's one i think that biden and his team need to add additional posture. biden has to tell pluto knock this off, otherwise there will be additional sanctions. there will be additional sanctions. there will be additional constraints put on putin and the kremlin. because if not, it's going to be another american,

is going to limit what we are able to report on. but we have seen that the russian government is willing not only to intimidate, not only to threaten journalists, but to detain them, to trump up charges against them. obviously, to use other practices, including the murder of dissidents as well as opposition figures. i thinkjournalists, dissidents as well as opposition figures. ithinkjournalists, quite frankly, should avoid russia until further notice.

the american who was detained in the biden administration, it could be for quite some time. putin has a longer time limit. biden is obviously under a lot of political pressure here in washington, and i think he is going to move to try to get his release sooner rather than later. ., ~ get his release sooner rather than later. . ~ , ., get his release sooner rather than later. ., ~' , ., , get his release sooner rather than later. . ~ ,, , . get his release sooner rather than later. ., ~ ,, , . ., get his release sooner rather than later. ., ~ , . ., later. thank you very much for your insiaht later. thank you very much for your insight this — later. thank you very much for your insight this evening. _ later. thank you very much for your insight this evening. thank - later. thank you very much for your insight this evening. thank you - later. thank you very much for your insight this evening. thank you for| insight this evening. thank you for joining us. thank you forjoining us. police in northern ireland have warned that some dissident republicans could try to provoke street violence over the easter weekend. the country is marking the 25th anniversary since the signing of the good friday agreement, which largely ended 30 years of sectarian violence. hundreds of extra police have been brought in for events which culminate with a visit to belfast by us president biden on wednesday. a quarter of a century after that agreement was struck, political tensions remain in northern ireland. our correspondent mark simpson explains what's in the agreement. the agreement radically changed politics, and that's exactly

what it was designed to do. the very first line talked about the need for a new beginning, starting with a new northern ireland assembly. but power has to be shared. key decisions, according to the agreement, are taken on a cross—community basis. and built into the deal were cross—border links — a north—south ministerial council to bring politicians together on a regular basis and, at the same time, a british—irish council to try to improve relations across the two islands. the agreement was controversial. it allowed ira and loyalist prisoners out ofjail within two years. it also included a review of policing, which ultimately led to the ruc being replaced by the psni. and, as part of the agreement, the irish government agreed to change articles two and three of its constitution, removing its territorial claim to northern ireland. but what did the agreement say about the possibility

of a united ireland? it said it could happen, but only if a majority of people in northern ireland vote for it in a border poll, and there also needs to be approval in the republic. without that, it's the status quo — northern ireland remains part of the united kingdom. the agreement was drawn up by politicians back in 1998, but they made it clear the future will be decided by the people. ahead of the anniversary, police in belfast have warned of potential disorder by dissident republicans. police say they have �*very strong community intelligence' that attacks were being planned in the city of londonderry. and they've told officers to be prepared for all eventualities on monday. in order to respond to the threats, the chief constable of the psni says shifts have been altered to move

more officers onto front line duties and hundreds of other extra officers have been brought into belfast ahead of the visit of the us president next week. these warnings come weeks after mi5 raised the terror threat in northern ireland to �*severe', meaning an attack is likely. live now to fintan o'toole, journalist at the irish times. thank you so much forjoining us this evening, fenton. can i ask you to first of all take us back 25 years? at such a momentous anniversary this weekend. what are your memories, what you remember about how it played out's the about how it played out's ii�*ué overwhelming sense about how it played out's the overwhelming sense of tension. it's easyin overwhelming sense of tension. it's easy in retrospect to think a well of course the deal was always going to be done, but it did not feel like it at the time. the stars seem to be aligning. the engaged american administration with bill clinton. you have tony blair at his prime, not long in office. you have a very

skilled negotiator and the rubber cobbler than party. uncritically you had the ira seeming to be willing to do a deal. but that did not mean that a deal was going to be done, because as mark simpson was just saying, it is very complex. you have to balance so many different factors, so many different interests between britain and ireland, between the two parts of ireland, and then critically within northern ireland itself. and we really do need, i think, in spite of all the qualifications and difficulties with the agreement, to look back and recognise it was an astonishing political achievement. and one of which british, irish and american governments can be very proud of. i was struck by an article that you have written today. you are saying talking about the good friday agreement, you said that the irish question had to change from what are you willing to kill and die for two

what can you live with? can you just expand upon that? it what can you live with? can you 'ust expand upon thawi expand upon that? if the question was is northern _ expand upon that? if the question was is northern ireland _ expand upon that? if the question was is northern ireland in - expand upon that? if the question was is northern ireland in the - was is northern ireland in the united kingdom or the, that's a zero—sum game. there was no middle way between those two questions. and there still isn't in a way. so you have to ask something else, and you have to ask something else, and you have to ask something else, and you have to ask what is ok for people to live with in the foreseeable future? maybe not forever the futures going to be decided at some point in northern ireland. but that might be 20, 30 years northern ireland. but that might be 20,30 years on northern ireland. but that might be 20, 30 years on from 1998. it could be even longer. we don't really know at the moment. the real question was, was it possible to first of all got the violence out of northern irish politics? because what we learned from so many previous attempts to form an administration or do a deal was that so long as

this atrocity continued, no deal was going to hold. violence could always break any political arrangements that might�*ve been made. so you have to bring them on board. that was not an easy thing to do. it's a difficult thing for a democracy to negotiate with people who have been using very violent methods. to overthrow that democracy. but that was the imagination that was involved, the courage that was involved, the courage that was involved, and it actually forced those people themselves as well to think about what are your grievances? are any of those grievances? are any of those grievances actually worth taking a single human life or? i think what the deal did rather brilliantly was it particular relation to the question that the ira was always asking, which was the self—determination of the irish people. the deal said ok, let the irish people have their self—determination. let's vote on this deal. remember it was voted on

both north and south on the same day. so 1998 gave us an expression of what the irish people actually wanted, which was not some kind of zero—sum game. it is compromised, negotiation, and some sort of peaceful future. bud negotiation, and some sort of peaceful future.— negotiation, and some sort of peaceful future. and of course, it didn't ut peaceful future. and of course, it didn't put an _ peaceful future. and of course, it didn't put an end _ peaceful future. and of course, it didn't put an end to _ peaceful future. and of course, it didn't put an end to the - peaceful future. and of course, it didn't put an end to the factions i didn't put an end to the factions between the political parties. would you describe it more as a chapter in northern ireland story still ongoing?— northern ireland story still onrroin ? :, ~' :,, ongoing? yeah, i think it was breathing _ ongoing? yeah, i think it was breathing space. _ ongoing? yeah, i think it was breathing space. it _ ongoing? yeah, i think it was breathing space. it created i breathing space. it created breathing space. it created breathing space. it created breathing space and 25 years ago maybe we hoped that more advantage would be taken of that breathing space politically for northern ireland politics to become less tribal. but it hasn't quite happened, for all the reasons that people know. but i think we are now at a stage where maybe with all of the brexit difficulties, hopefully they put behind us, the breathing

space that the agreement opened up is still there to be occupied. and i think there is still the possibility of using the agreement to remind ourselves that politics works, democracy works, that negotiation works, that trying to see the other�*s point of view actually works. that is the only future that northern ireland has, but the fact that it does have a future, i think is something that we can look back on 25 years and say, you know, we are grateful for it because this conflict still could have been going on. so we do still have a threat, we still have problems, but they are not the problems that we had in 1998. �* , , :, , , 1998. it's been really interesting to hear your _ 1998. it's been really interesting to hear your recollections. - 1998. it's been really interesting| to hear your recollections. thank you so much forjoining us this evening. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. so, i'm going to start here with you. a student—led well—being workshop at this secondary school in abergavenny.

here being open about mental health and supporting pupil well—being is a key focus, especially since the pandemic. a national school survey of 11—to—16—year—olds found girls were almost twice as likely as boys to experience high levels of mental health symptoms. spending too much time on my phone, but also it doesn't have to be on screens. i find that i am impacted when i spend lots of time just not doing anything. the survey, which is carried out every two years, found that between 2017 and 2021 fewer teenagers said they were exercising regularly. there was an increase in the amount who said they were looking at screens before going to bed. and when it comes to diet, fewer said they ate breakfast on weekdays before school. it's hoped the findings of the latest survey will continue to influence changes in communities across wales. you're live with bbc news.

let's turn now to the middle east. the uk government has confirmed that two women shot dead in the occupied west bank today had dual british—israeli nationality. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has visited the scene. a third person has been seriously wounded in the incident, near the settlement of hamra. it comes as israel says it's calling up more military reservists after rocket attacks from lebanon. israel carried out air strikes overnight across the lebanese border and in gaza. but an army spokesman said the retaliation was over for now. tension is high after israeli police stormed jerusalem's al—aqsa mosque this week. just to bring you some breaking news in the past few minutes, there have been reports of a shooting in tel aviv. so, reports of a shooting in tel aviv. clearly it is a situation thatis tel aviv. clearly it is a situation that is developing all the time,

delete. yolande knelljoins us live from jerusalem. we are getting reports of that from emergency services from the police, adding to it that the attacker has been shot. now this come just after news broke of a shooting in the occupied west bank in the north jordan valley, close to a jewish settlement. the two killed were israeli sisters. we now understand british it's really sisters. one in her 20s, one in her mid—teens. and we have been told that their mother was critically injured. the arts really prime minister went to visit the scene already. he said violence,

heartless terrorists murdered two young sisters. we haven't been able to get names of those who have been killed. we spoke actually to the mayor of another settlement where there's family was from. he confirmed that the family were from the uk, he thought from london, and said that they were actually on their way to the north of israel, using this road which i have used myself, saying that they were on their way to a passover holiday. end their way to a passover holiday. and their way to a passover holiday. and the latest there. _ their way to a passover holiday. and the latest there. we are saddened to hear about the death of two citizens and a serious injuries sustained by a third individual. this calls for all parties across the region to de—escalate tension. clearly, as you say, the situation is changing all the time. i know you have been following all the latest developments. let's take a look back at what has happened up until now.

most intercepted by israel's defence system. and this morning, after the bombardment, palestinians spoke of a frightening night. translation: my daughters| were crying, and one fainted. that's what happened. i looked around, and everything was destroyed. i checked my vehicle, and it was destroyed. in lebanon too, locals inspected the damage after three israeli strikes near a palestinian refugee camp. this was one of over 30 rockets fired from lebanon a day ago. israel brought down most of the barrage. in its response, it has been wary of drawing in powerful lebanese militants.

it's a multidimensional threat, and there is no one organisation or one enemy here. we are focused on our enemy and don't want to escalate at this point. we are focused on hamas, who are the predominant force here. this week, violent scenes inside jerusalem's al—aqsa mosque caused outrage across the middle east during the holy month of ramadan. israeli police said they raided the prayer hall after what they call the agitators barricaded themselves inside. palestinians threw fireworks, and distressing videos emerged on social media, showing officers beating people in the mosque. today, thousands of muslims headed to friday prayers at al—aqsa. it is often a flashpoint for troubles. the third holiest place in islam is also the holiest place forjewish people, who call it temple mount

and celebrate passover this week. as the three religions which hold this ancient city sacred marked their own holidays, tensions remain dangerously high, and once again, there has been proof that what happens here can quickly have an impact across the wider region. for now, all eyes remained fixed onjerusalem. your land, interesting to see you out and about there. i just want to know what there is, a feeling on the states. you said there are christians all around the world they are, how is everyone feeling? ilirui’eiiiii are, how is everyone feeling? well i was in the old _ are, how is everyone feeling? well i was in the old city _ are, how is everyone feeling? well i was in the old city for _ are, how is everyone feeling? well i was in the old city for quite - are, how is everyone feeling? well i was in the old city for quite some i was in the old city for quite some time earlier and it was really quite hectic because you had thousands of palestinian muslims coming in, some of them coming from the occupied west bank intojerusalem, some of

them citizens of israel orjerusalem residence, all making their way at this time of dawn to dusk fasting into the centre ofjerusalem. at the same time, there were palestinian christians, but i have to say many more international christians who were joining the good friday walk along the via de la rosa, the stations of the cross as it is known, and they were actually quite a lot ofjewish israelis in town too, having celebrations. there was a band playing as part of the passover holiday. so it is quite strange, because on the one hand as a journalist you are very conscious of everything that is going on across israel, what happened in the last 2a hours. but of course there were people who were trying just to enjoy the holidays in the way that you would expect, to go to prayers, mark their holidays in the way you would expect. it is mark their holidays in the way you would exoeet-_ mark their holidays in the way you would exoeet-— would expect. it is worth pointing out that this _ would expect. it is worth pointing out that this is _ would expect. it is worth pointing out that this is an _ would expect. it is worth pointing out that this is an incredibly - out that this is an incredibly important weekend. it's obviously the easter weekend but it is also

ramadan, it is passover. so it's busy there is it really ever will be. :, �* , busy there is it really ever will be. ., �* , �* , ., busy there is it really ever will be. that's right, it's a second time in three decades _ be. that's right, it's a second time in three decades that _ be. that's right, it's a second time in three decades that we _ be. that's right, it's a second time in three decades that we have - be. that's right, it's a second time in three decades that we have had | in three decades that we have had the overlapping of these two important holidays for muslims and dues, ramadan and passover. now that is significant because of the site injerusalem, the airlock some mosque compound, the third holiest site in islam, the site of a mosque thatis site in islam, the site of a mosque that is been there more than a letting him, but forjewish people this is the holiest place in judaism. they know the hilltop siders temple mount, revered as the site of two biblical temples, long—ago destroyed, and because of the holidays you have the muslim visitors but also jewish the holidays you have the muslim visitors but alsojewish people who want to go there, and because it's really policing very present today and the old city, they control access to that site. that is one of the real points of contention, when

they escortjewish visitors in the morning to go and visit. and before that, demands that there should be a clearing of courtyards that palestinian muslim worshipers should be moved away. and we have seen two nights this week in which it became very violent inside the alaska mosque compound where it israeli police actually rated the mosque. they say that they were acting against agitators barricading themselves inside. he threw fireworks, as we can see in that report. but for the palestinians, there is just been widespread outrage about the pictures that have emerged that we saw in that report there. i emerged that we saw in that report there. ., emerged that we saw in that report there. :, :, emerged that we saw in that report there. ., ., ., _ , ., there. i wonder how easy it is for ou to there. i wonder how easy it is for you to travel _ there. i wonder how easy it is for you to travel around, _ there. i wonder how easy it is for you to travel around, because . you to travel around, because obviously there is lots of things happening in various different parts of the country in the city. how easy is it for you to really get a handle on what's happening and we are? fine on what's happening and we are? one ofthe on what's happening and we are? (he of the otherjournalists in jerusalem i am friends with a was

commenting today that you don't know where to go with the moment. should you have north? sitter head south? wait injerusalem? and as we have seen there have been these incidents now in the occupied west bank and in tel aviv as well. so things are happening all over the place. we rely, as you can imagine, on all different kinds of sources, whether it is social media reports, often initially flagging things up. we also have to use social media footage because you are relying on people who find themselves i guess in the wrong place at the wrong time for pictures of rocket launchers or air strikes. for pictures of rocket launchers or airstrikes. some for pictures of rocket launchers or air strikes. some of those pictures from gaza, from northern israel, lebanese footage. we managed to get that authenticated by one of the news agencies. we've got our own colleagues and also in the bbc beirut office who are helping to verify things. beirut office who are helping to verify things-— beirut office who are helping to veri thins. :, ~' ,, ., verify things. thank you for giving us that update — verify things. thank you for giving us that update from _ verify things. thank you for giving us that update from jerusalem. i verify things. thank you for giving l us that update from jerusalem. and once again, there has been a

shooting in tel aviv. at least two people have been wounded. this evening. we will be back in a moment. thank you. hello there. sunny skies have been the story of this good friday for most parts of the uk, including here for our weather watcher in monmouth. now, i can't promise it's going to stay this sunny through the rest of the weekend. there will still be some sunny spells, but generally a bit more in the way of cloud and some rain arriving later in the weekend. now, on the earlier satellite picture, you can see a lot of cloud that's been lurking in the north sea. some of that now is rolling inland and out towards the west, frontal systems waiting in the atlantic, which will eventually bring some outbreaks of rain. so as we go through tonight, we will see more of this cloud rolling in across eastern scotland and eastern england. and at the same time, some fog patches could develop through parts of the midlands and down into southeast england. elsewhere, some clear spells which will allow

temperatures to drop. we're going to get quite close to freezing in places, so some of us will see a touch of frost to start saturday morning. but on balance, saturday, still a fine looking day. some spells of sunshine, but more cloud across parts of eastern scotland and eastern england. i think that cloud will tend to retreat towards the north sea coast, but where the cloud does linger, it'll make it feel really rather cool. temperatures there in aberdeen maybe only getting to around eight degrees celsius. further west, sunny skies and highs of 15 or 16, but we will see more cloud into northern ireland, a very weak frontal system that could bring the odd spot of rain here during saturday night. and then into sunday, here comes another weather front and this one will have a bit more energy about it. so we will certainly see the cloud thickening up across northern ireland. some rain here by the afternoon, perhaps eventually into western scotland, west wales, the far south west of england. but ahead of that, some spells of sunshine, some areas of cloud, but with a strengthening southerly breeze, it is going to feel warm. temperatures could get as high as 16 or 17 degrees.

but through sunday night, this frontal system pushes eastwards, taking outbreaks of rain with it. i think the most persistent rain will mainly be confined to the overnight hours, but some will linger in eastern england for a time on monday morning. could be quite a wet day across the northern isles. elsewhere, sunny spells, yes, but also some showers, some of which could be heavy, possibly with some hail and some thunder and slightly lower temperatures, typically between ten and 15 degrees. and then as we head deeper into next week, quite a change, actually. some spells of rain and the chance of gales.

for the moment... let's turn to china now — the french president, emmanuel macron, has been taking part in some final engagements — including a tea ceremony — on the last day of his state visit to the country. throughout the three—day trip, mr macron has urged president xi to use his influence with vladimir putin to stop russia's war in ukraine. our asia pacific editor, celia hatton has more on what the two leaders have discussed in a recently published statement. when it was announced that the french president emmanuel macron would be visiting china for three days, and spending a lot of time with the chinese leader xi jinping, president macron faced much criticism. many thought he should not be going to china, citing china's power human rights record and xijinping's close relationship with russian leader vladimir putin.

however, mr macron made a point of speaking with yes presentjoe biden before leaving france. the two men issued a statement calling on china to work to accelerate a negotiated end to the war in ukraine. so even before emmanuel macron left for china, he was trying to underline his close ties with the united states and his desire to find an end to the war in ukraine, to figure out some way to negotiate an end to that conflict. however, we have seen after three days of a lot of grand gestures on the part of china, lots of statements of friendship between mr xi and macron, we have seen the joint statement that has come out of that the visit and there is not a lot to show for it when it comes to ukraine. the language is incredibly watery. nothing that surprising. both sides say they want to find a

quick end. they expressed concern that there might be armed attacks on the nuclear plant in ukraine in zaporizhzhia. so, really, no surprises there. mr macron will point to some successes to his chinese visit, mostly on trade, beijing has agreed to place a bulk orderfor aeroplanes. they are order for aeroplanes. they are buying orderfor aeroplanes. they are buying 160 airbus aircraft. there are a host of other agreements on climate and culture, so in some ways, emmanuel macron will say that it was worth it to go to beijing, but those who really care about the war in ukraine will be looking for other, tangible outcomes from this trip. i think the one thing that will really save emmanuel macron is if xijinping places will really save emmanuel macron is if xi jinping places a call to the ukrainian leader volodymyr zelensky in the next few days. xi jinping has said he would make that call to

ukraine. he has not done so yet. he hasn't spoken to the ukrainian leader since ukraine was invaded by russia. if that call is placed fairly soon emmanuel macron really can claim some kind of diplomatic victory. if it does not then it really comes down to a trade victory for this trip. here in the uk, the labour party is facing criticism, including from within the party, for posting a message on twitter suggesting the prime minister doesn't think child sex abusers should be jailed. the tweet highlights figures since 2010, on the number of adults convicted of child sexual assault, who've served no prison time. the conservatives described the tweet as "vile and desperate". live now to our political correspondent david wallace lockhart. good evening to you. this is supposed to get people talking and it has certainly done that. it has seen labour _

it has certainly done that. it has seen labour facing _ it has certainly done that. it has seen labour facing criticism - it has certainly done that. it hasl seen labour facing criticism from seen labourfacing criticism from its own site. in this poster, they say that there are a500 adults convicted of child sexual abuse since 2010 he didn't face jail time and they rather explosively say that rishi sunak doesn't want them to face jail time. rishi sunak doesn't want them to face jailtime. quite rishi sunak doesn't want them to face jail time. quite the claim to be making and one that the prime minister would push back against. the figures they are using are broadly correct. they go back to 2010. in 2010 rishi sunak was working in finance. he didn't become a member of parliament until 2015 and didn't start setting at the top levels of government until 2019 when he got a seat around the cabinet table. that is what many people find uncomfortable about this particular advert, taking such a sensitive issue and putting it so closely, personally, to rishi sunak. joe mcdonell, the former shadow chancellor for labour, mcdonell, the former shadow chancellorfor labour, has mcdonell, the former shadow chancellor for labour, has called on a party to withdraw the ad out. he

says that we, the labour party, are better than this. the labour spokesperson on the airwaves this morning lucy powell sounded a bit uncomfortable trying to defend it stressing that it might not be everyone's cup of tea and she didn't personally come up with a graphic itself. in the last hour, the shadow attorney general emily thornberry has been on radio saying she does not believe that there are any racist undertones to this poster but there has been criticism from the conservatives, sajid javid, the former home secretary says it is a champion, and lee anderson the vice—chairman of the party has called it gutter politics. and the timescale that we are talking about does include some of the time when sir keir starmer, the labour leader, was not working in politics parts was not working in politics parts was the director of public prosecutions, so they are trying to question his record when it comes to justice. a controversial advert but at this point labour sticking by it, not taking it down and further

adverts seem to be following a similar pattern of trying to attach certain policy issues to rishi sunak personally. certain policy issues to rishi sunak ersonall . : ~ certain policy issues to rishi sunak ersonall. ., ,, certain policy issues to rishi sunak ersonall . ., ,, �* personally. thank you, david, i'm sure that you _ personally. thank you, david, i'm sure that you will— personally. thank you, david, i'm sure that you will bring _ personally. thank you, david, i'm sure that you will bring is - personally. thank you, david, i'm sure that you will bring is the - sure that you will bring is the latest on any more of those adverts that do emerge. escaping from north korea has always been perilous. but the country's leader — kimjong—un — made it harder during the covid outbreak by practically sealing the country's borders. the number of people making it to south korea has plunged as a result — from around a thousand a year, to just 67 last year. our correspondentjean mackenzie spoke to one of the last known people to escape before the border was closed. i first met the daughter, songmi park, at the demilitarised zone, that is the strip of land that divides north and south korea. and now, all north koreans that have escaped have these remarkable stories, but when songmi told me the details of hers, i was just blown away,

the details, as we are about to hear, of how she was left in north korea as a child by her mother and she had to escape on her own, and be reunited with her mother years later, ijust thought, we have to tell this story. but i was desperate, obviously, to meet her mother as well, and i really wanted to bring the pair of them together to hear her mother's side of things and what she had gone through. but that was a lot harder, because the pair were kind of rebuilding their relationship, and it was very delicate, but we were able to convince them to meet together, and to bring them together, and so the piece that you're about to see shows the conversation that we were able to have with them. there are days that songmi still doesn't believe she is living with her mother. what she has endured to be here made it seem like this they would never come. songmi was four years old when her mother tried to escape

north korea, with her strapped to her chest. her mother was caught and sent to prison. when she was released, she decided to escape again. this time, alone. songmi was left with her grandparents. but, shortly after, they died, leaving songmi to fend for herself. translation: | made - a living by foraging for herbs in the mountains and selling them. i was just trying to survive for - the day without starving to death. it would take years before songmi's mother was able to arrange her daughter's own treacherous escape across the river to china. translation: before you cross the river, i you are supposed to be scared. the river is deep and| the current is strong. i could have died. but, the thought of getting to my . mother felt like i was throwing away a heavy burden and flying away.

after 1a years apart, the pair have reunited in south korea. but songmi has never asked her mother why she left. until now. translation: l was nine - when you came back from prison. why did you escape then? translation: i wanted to bring you with me at first. but the broker said no children. if we got caught, both of us would have suffered again, so i asked your grandparents to watch you for a year, but much more time has passed. translation: i see. i knew the morning she walked. - irememberjust lying in bed crying. what would you like to say to your daughter, what would you like her to learn? translation:

i want to say that i didn't abandon you. i made a choice to leave first, to give you a better life. this choice might seem unthinkable, but these are the lengths people must go to, to escape north korea, and it is only getting tougher. jean mackenzie, bbc news, in seoul. so, one of the big reasons that i wanted to tell this story is because of how it has become now to leave north korea. of course, it has always been difficult, but, since the pandemic, kim jong—un has sealed the border, so you can now be shot and killed for even trying to escape so in fact, songmi was one of the last people to be able to make it out in 2019 before those borders closed so, the information, her memories, that she can give us,

is such valuable information about what is happening in north korea, as recently as 2019. now we go into a lot of detail in that, on our online article, because north korean escapees are one of our best sources of information when it comes to finding out what is happening in north korea, and as you said, the numbers have absolutely dwindled, so, we used to have about 1000 of them arriving here in seoul in south korea, every single year, but we only now have a handful that have managed to make it here since the beginning of the pandemic so it has made it so much more difficult for us to know what is happening in north korea at the moment. people that study north korea, analysts, now refer to this as an information black hole, and we think people in north korea at the moment are really suffering because of these border closures but, unless you have people like songmi who manage to escape, it is really hard to confirm what is happening. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. the bells at nottingham's

oldest church have rang for the last 600 years but, since may last year, all 12 bells have been largely silent due to a structural issue with the south gable and wall which need to be restored and strengthened. we were sent a very alarming video by the bell—ringers, and they had noticed a very ominous crack appearing when the bells were ringing. then the fundraising effort started. the church needs to raise £185,000 to stabilise it. there have been some amazingly generous gifts from some individuals, both members of the church and people in the city. whilst £10,000 still needs to be raised to meet the fundraising target, the church bells will ring for the king's coronation, but the wall needs a bit of extra support. people really, really want these bells to ring, and i have been really delighted with the kind of enthusiasm and how much it obviously means the people.

the whole repair project will take three months, but the bells will ring again for the king. you're live with bbc news. ijust want i just want to ijust want to bring you up—to—date with the _ ijust want to bring you up—to—date with the situation in israel. it with the situation in israel. seems to with the situation in israel. it seems to be escalating somewhat further. there are lots of different wires and numbers coming in at the moment. i want to tell you exactly what we are getting. this is from the reuters news agency. he says one person was killed and several wounded in a tel aviv attack and they are quoting israel's foreign ministry. the ambulance service has treated at least one person with a gunshot wound. israeli police said there may have been a car that rammed into people in the same area. ijust want to rammed into people in the same area. i just want to give you another update. this is from the israeli ambulance service. again, coming in on the wires, and it is saying that

the victims in a tel aviv attack were foreign tourists. once again thatis were foreign tourists. once again that is the israeli ambulance service. we were talking to our correspondent injerusalem. she was saying there are lots of tourists there at the moment because it is such an important religious ceremony for the christian calendar, for passover and for the muslim calendar, so there will be lots of tourists in tel aviv at the moment. from the israeli ambulance service, the victims were foreign tourists. swa bs swabs that tested positive for covid—19 also contained genetic material from wild animals being sold in wuhan. the scientists acknowledged the virus could have been brought into the market by an

infected person. live now to professor peter openshaw from imperial college london. thank you so much forjoining us on bbc news. covid, it is an issue that still keeps coming around three years later. one of the questions people don't seem to have got to the bottom of yet is how did it start? does this report tell us any more? the two main theories are that it grows spontaneously as an animal to human transmission, probably in this market, where there were wild animals being sold for food. market, where there were wild animals being sold forfood. the other is of course that it was perhaps from the virological institute where they were growing viruses, and it could have been a laboratory leak, almost certainly not a deliberate leak back might have come out of the lab. this new study does significantly shift the

pointer in favour of this being spontaneous release from the animal market because of contact with animals, most likely these raccoon dogs, the genetic material that has been found in the samples. end dogs, the genetic material that has been found in the samples. and give us wh ou been found in the samples. and give us why you are _ been found in the samples. and give us why you are taking _ been found in the samples. and give us why you are taking this _ been found in the samples. and give us why you are taking this report - us why you are taking this report quite so seriously.— us why you are taking this report quite so seriously. there has been some confusion _ quite so seriously. there has been some confusion about _ quite so seriously. there has been some confusion about whether - quite so seriously. there has been i some confusion about whether there is any data available from the market. there were some hints in some analysis of some information that had come out on websites then had been taken down by the chinese, but it is not really clear why they were so reluctant to release this information. it may be that there were sections within china where they did not want to acknowledge that this wild animal market existed or that wild animals were being

traded, but it is clear, now, that that was happening. there is abundant evidence that that is what was happening. it does seem very likely that this was a natural origin from the markets, and that's how this virus first spread to humans. : , ., how this virus first spread to humans. ., , ., , how this virus first spread to humans. : ,. , ,. . humans. can you give us the science bit how they — humans. can you give us the science bit how they can _ humans. can you give us the science bit how they can work— humans. can you give us the science bit how they can work out _ humans. can you give us the science bit how they can work out how - humans. can you give us the science bit how they can work out how this i bit how they can work out how this dna has spread, how do they actually do it? e, dna has spread, how do they actually do it? : ., ., dna has spread, how do they actually doit?: ., ., , , dna has spread, how do they actually doit? ., ., , , do it? a lot of samples were taken from the market _ do it? a lot of samples were taken from the market before _ do it? a lot of samples were taken from the market before it was - from the market before it was closed. it seems from the report that they were able to secrete some of the mitochondrial dna which identifies the species quite accurately. there are some concerns over the analysis. and there seems to be some possibility of some errors in the data, but it does seem that this is the most likely origin, and it is in the particular part of

the market where these animals were being sold which is on the west side of the market. that is exactly where the virus first appeared, and where it first infected humans. so, it all stacks up, really, that this was the most likely origin, that it was from these raccoon dogs that had been in contact with bats. that's where the original source of the virus, passed through the raccoon dogs and then into traders in the market. and it seems that there was more than one introduction which is not unusual with a virus like this when it is transitioning between one species and another. and itjust needed a few successful mutations in order to become sufficiently human adapted to create the initial spread of infection and all of the variants. briefly, why has it taken three years for these samples to come to light? years for these samples to come to li . ht?

bringing you more updates as we get them. forthe bringing you more updates as we get them. for the moment, thank you for watching. hello there. sunny skies have been the story of this good friday for most parts of the uk, including here for our weather watcher in monmouth. now, i can't promise it's going to stay this sunny through the rest of the weekend. there will still be some sunny spells, but generally a bit more in the way of cloud and some rain arriving later in the weekend. now, on the earlier satellite picture, you can see a lot of cloud that's been lurking in the north sea. some of that now is rolling inland and out towards the west, frontal systems waiting in the atlantic, which will eventually bring some outbreaks of rain. so as we go through tonight, we will see more of this cloud rolling in across eastern scotland and eastern england. and at the same time, some fog patches could develop through parts of the midlands and down into southeast england. elsewhere, some clear spells which will allow

temperatures to drop. we're going to get quite close to freezing in places, so some of us will see a touch of frost to start saturday morning. but on balance, saturday, still a fine looking day. some spells of sunshine, but more cloud across parts of eastern scotland and eastern england. i think that cloud will tend to retreat towards the north sea coast, but where the cloud does linger, it'll make it feel really rather cool. temperatures there in aberdeen maybe only getting to around eight degrees celsius. further west, sunny skies and highs of 15 or 16, but we will see more cloud into northern ireland, a very weak frontal system that could bring the odd spot of rain here during saturday night. and then into sunday, here comes another weather front and this one will have a bit more energy about it. so we will certainly see the cloud thickening up across northern ireland. some rain here by the afternoon, perhaps eventually into western scotland, west wales, the far south west of england. but ahead of that, some spells of sunshine, some areas of cloud, but with a strengthening southerly breeze, it is going to feel warm. temperatures could get as high as 16 or 17 degrees.

but through sunday night, this frontal system pushes eastwards, taking outbreaks of rain with it. i think the most persistent rain will mainly be confined to the overnight hours, but some will linger in eastern england for a time on monday morning. could be quite a wet day across the northern isles, elsewhere, sunny spells, yes, but also some showers, some of which could be heavy, possibly with some hail and some thunder and slightly lower temperatures, typically between ten and 15 degrees. and then as we head deeper into next week, quite a change, actually. some spells of rain and the chance of gales.

hello, i'm sarah campbell. you're watching the context on bbc news. russian state media says the american journalist evan gershkovich has been formally charged with espionage. the adult film actress stormy daniels says donald trump does not deserve to be jailed over a payment to her, which landed him in court. israeli emergency services say one person has been killed in an attack in tel aviv. us vice president kamala harris will travel to tennessee to meet lawmakers, the day after the state's house of representatives expelled two black democrats.

we start tonight with reports on russian state media that an american journalist has been formally charged with spying. evan gershkovich, who works for the newspaper the wall streetjournal, was arrested last week, taken to court and detained. the kremlin said at the time he'd been caught "red—handed". gershkovich has denied he's done anything wrong. tonight with the context, seb payne, the director of the centre right think tank onward, and democratic strategist ameshia cross. thank you forjoining us this evening. we will be talking to about all the top stories we are talking about this evening. speaking a little earlier, the head of the global magnitskyjustice campaign, bill browder told us why he thinks gershkovich has really been charged. i think we should look beyond their legalistic explanations of this. this is — he's been taken as a hostage,

the russian government. vladimir putin needs some high value western hostages. evan gershkovich is a high value hostage. he works for the wall streetjournal. he's a high profile person. and the reason putin wants to take these hostages is that he has a bunch of people who have been arrested, a bunch of spies and a bunch of money launderers who have been arrested around the world. and he wants to have a currency to get those people traded back. and after brittney griner, the us basketball player, was so successfully swapped for viktor bout, the arms dealer, i think putin has developed a taste for this type of thing. for more on this, let's speak to the director of the press freedom group justice forjournalists, maria ordzhonikidze. thank you forjoining us on the programme this evening. just give me your reaction to this what can only be seen as a worrying development.

it is indeed a very welling development as already has been reported. here's the first foreman journalists arrested in russia since the cold war, since 1986. so this is really something of a paradigm shift for the regime. bud really something of a paradigm shift for the regime-— for the regime. and what would you exect to for the regime. and what would you expeet to happen? _ for the regime. and what would you expect to happen? not _ for the regime. and what would you expect to happen? not much - for the regime. and what would you expect to happen? not much newsl expect to happen? not much news coming out of russia, but what would you expect to be happening sort of behind—the—scenes? iltrui’eiiii behind-the-scenes? well unfortunately, _ behind-the-scenes? well unfortunately, as - behind-the-scenes? well unfortunately, as far - behind-the-scenes? well unfortunately, as far as i | behind-the-scenes? well- unfortunately, as far as i know behind—the—scenes? -ii unfortunately, as far as i know the lawyers have not managed to have access to evan. neither have the american embassy. so yes, we don't know what is going on but we know that he is captain high security prison which is the former kgb

domain. is this just means that the communication is very limited. and i do agree with bill that it is most likely that the negotiations about evans future fate would be held in the terms of exchange, because this is basically, he is indeed a very high level currency for a halston for an exact exchange for some hackers, some money launders, or other criminals who have been arrested in germany, in the united states, and other countries that russia would be interested to exchange to get him back. and this indeed has been the practice for the whole duration of the regime so that is been happening with the famous exchange of person there in 2010 when a prisoner exchange was held in

moscow. not too long ago. so yeah, this is something that is happening in this is something that is very, very worrying for media freedom and for freedom of human very worrying for media freedom and forfreedom of human rights in russia in general.

according to israel's foreign ministry. now the ambulance service, and this hasn't been verified by the bbc, but the ambulance service is saying about the people involved in this shooting were foreign tourists. 0f this shooting were foreign tourists. of course, it is a very holiday period they are. there will be foreign tourists around. as i say, bbc not able to confirm that news coming through for me as really ambulance service, that the people involved in this incident were foreign tourists. now, onto a story that you may have heard about. stormy daniels says donald trump does not deserve to be jailed over the payment to her, which landed him in court this week. the adult film actress has been speaking to piers morgan in her first interview since that court hearing,

saying she doesn't think what happened is worthy of incarceration. mr trump pleaded not guilty to 3a counts of falsifying business records. the case comes back to his lawyer paying $130,000 to stormy daniels before the 2016 election to buy her silence over an alleged affair. prosecutors say the way donald trump reimbursed the lawyer amounted to tax deception. if he were to be found guilty, some of those charges against him carry a maximum four—year jail sentence. ms daniels has also said she would �*absolutely�* testify in the trial, saying... we are joined by adam klasfeld,

who is the managing editor of law&crime news website, who was present in the courtroom at president trump's arraignment. i would just like to ask you first of all adam, what was it like? we watched it on television, the cavalcade going there and outside, but what was it like in the room? inside the room it was definitely an error of tension. it is a 60 capacity court room. every part of the pews was covered with security. there were court officers on both side of every pew, every seat in the house, as former president trump entered the room. they are everyone of course turned to watch a mentor. and this was a very different trump than anyone had been familiar with. he was looking very downcast, very sour, repeatedly described as glowering as he sort of took plotting steps over to the defence branch. and he said very little

during the proceedings. he was basically flanked by lawyers on either side, joe and suzanne, and they did the talking for him, as did they did the talking for him, as did the lead attorney, todd blanche. and unlike many arraignments that i have seen, and i have seen many arraignments, they are usually short formal proceedings. this one was a nearly one hour proceeding to speak to the historic occasion, the lead prosecutor christopher conroy started by defending the integrity of the grand jury that charged former president trump and saying that they work it diligently. it's not the sort of speech that traditionally greets this sort of occasion. but this was obviously, a lot was set outside of core that was being responded to by the das office. at the end of his speech, former president trumps attorney, todd blanche, stood up and said i

didn't realise we were making opening statements. it was speaking to the extraordinary nature of the proceedings, the unprecedented charging of former president of the united states with notjust one, but 3a felonies. i would like to bring in sarah kristof as well. she is an attorney. and sarah, your view. kristof as well. she is an attorney. and sarah, yourview. did kristof as well. she is an attorney. and sarah, your view. did you ever us think that you would see a former president and a court of law in the us? ., , president and a court of law in the us? . , ., ., us? certainly never thought i would see this happening. _ us? certainly never thought i would see this happening. although - us? certainly never thought i would see this happening. although we . us? certainly never thought i would i see this happening. although we have had hints _ see this happening. although we have had hints of what is to come with regard _ had hints of what is to come with regard to — had hints of what is to come with regard to mrtrump had hints of what is to come with regard to mr trump for several years — regard to mr trump for several years but _ regard to mr trump for several years. but in fact, the circumstances surrounding this payment — circumstances surrounding this payment have been known to many of us in the _ payment have been known to many of us in the public for many years. and charges _ us in the public for many years. and charges were not brought previously but the _ charges were not brought previously but the district attorney decided it was appropriate to do so now. and

argue if this goes to trial and ends in conviction that the sheer number of falsified records and the gravity of falsified records and the gravity of the charges should spell a different outcome than would normally apply in the situation. misha if i could bring you in and just get your thoughts on this week and the happenings at manhattan court? ~ ., and the happenings at manhattan court? ~ :, :, and the happenings at manhattan court? ~ ., ., ., court? world tour point that we heard earlier _ court? world tour point that we heard earlier probably -

of representatives expelled two democrats for breaking decorum during a gun control debate. republican legislators in the us state of tennessee on thursday voted to expel two democrat members from the regional house of representatives. it came after they took part in a protest for stricter gun laws. justin pearson and justin jones exited the state house of representatives to loud cheers from the gallery. a third democrat, gloria johnson, narrowly survived the vote. expelled tennessee lawmaker justinjones says he will seek re—election for his nashville seat, calling his removal an attack on democracy. i have to leave. they've shut off my id badge already, so they shut off my access to the building. i had to get another former colleague to let me in. they shut off my e—mail access, and so i am no longer a legislator. that means that the 78,000 people from district 52 have no representation in the state of tennessee. 78,000 voters, i represent

the most diverse district in the state of tennessee. i'm here in nashville, district 52, and now they are left without a voice because of the decision of extreme republicans, supermajority, which is almost completely a white caucus, expelling the two youngest black lawmakers because we stood demanding action on gun violence. i think the nation and the world are surprised and should be shocked because what they said is that democracy does not matter in tennessee. they took a very extreme step. there's only been three expulsions in the house in tennessee history — all of them involving crimes or unethical behaviour. this is the first expulsion for first amendment activity for a breach of decorum, they said, violating decorum rules. interesting story here. misha, if you could tell me what you know about what went down, and also how rare this is? 50. about what went down, and also how rare this is?— rare this is? so, america is a mechanism _ rare this is? so, america is a mechanism in _ rare this is? so, america is a mechanism in the _ rare this is? so, america is a mechanism in the tennessee constitution _ mechanism in the tennessee constitution that— mechanism in the tennessee constitution that allows i mechanism in the tennessee constitution that allows for i mechanism in the tennessee i constitution that allows for the stripping — constitution that allows for the stripping of— constitution that allows for the stripping of or— constitution that allows for the stripping of or the _ constitution that allows for the stripping of or the removal- constitution that allows for the stripping of or the removal of. stripping of or the removal of legislators _ stripping of or the removal of legislators based _ stripping of or the removal of legislators based on - stripping of or the removal of

brings home the fact that despite all the dreadful, awful shootings, just how polarised this debate remains. and as you would just hearing before that, it looks completely ridiculous, that this is what is happening. and itjust shows that there is nowhere near anywhere some kind of consensus on this. and every time you see from afar a dreadful mass shooting, something like that, you think 0k, finally, heads are going to be bound together. something is going to happen. and you look at using these antiquated laws of trying to shut people out of democratically representatives, i think it's just almost disgusting in a way, looking at it, that this is how you act with this. of course democratic debate depends on having polite discourse, but i think what you're seeing here is both sides are so entrenched there's no way either of them will come together.— come together. misha, it might backfire on _ come together. misha, it might backfire on me, _ come together. misha, it might backfire on me, come - come together. misha, it might backfire on me, come our- come together. misha, it might - backfire on me, come our harassers travelling there. if

hello there. sunny skies have been the story of this good friday for most parts of the uk, including here for our weather watcher in monmouth. now, i can't promise it's going to stay this sunny through the rest of the weekend. there will still be some sunny spells, but generally a bit more in the way of cloud and some rain arriving later in the weekend. now, on the earlier satellite picture, you can see a lot of cloud that's been lurking in the north sea. some of that now is rolling inland and out towards the west, frontal systems waiting in the atlantic, which will eventually bring some outbreaks of rain. so as we go through tonight, we will see more of this cloud rolling in across eastern scotland and eastern england. and at the same time, some fog patches could develop through parts of the midlands and down into southeast england. elsewhere, some clear spells which will allow

temperatures to drop. we're going to get quite close to freezing in places, so some of us will see a touch of frost to start saturday morning. but on balance, saturday, still a fine looking day. some spells of sunshine, but more cloud across parts of eastern scotland and eastern england. i think that cloud will tend to retreat towards the north sea coast, but where the cloud does linger, it'll make it feel really rather cool. temperatures there in aberdeen maybe only getting to around eight degrees celsius. further west, sunny skies and highs of 15 or 16, but we will see more cloud into northern ireland, a very weak frontal system that could bring the odd spot of rain here during saturday night. and then into sunday, here comes another weather front and this one will have a bit more energy about it. so we will certainly see the cloud thickening up across northern ireland. some rain here by the afternoon, perhaps eventually into western scotland, west wales, the far south west of england. but ahead of that, some spells of sunshine, some areas of cloud, but with a strengthening southerly breeze, it is going to feel warm. temperatures could get as high

as 16 or 17 degrees. but through sunday night, this frontal system pushes eastwards, taking outbreaks of rain with it. i think the most persistent rain will mainly be confined to the overnight hours, but some will linger in eastern england for a time on monday morning. could be quite a wet day across the northern isles. elsewhere, sunny spells, yes, but also some showers, some of which could be heavy, possibly with some hail and some thunder and slightly lower temperatures, typically between ten and 15 degrees. and then as we head deeper into next week, quite a change, actually. some spells of rain and the chance of gales.

sport, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's hugh. american brooks koepka has taken control of the masters after a second round 67 put him on 12 under par at augusta. koepka is a four—time major winner and was the masters runner—up behind tiger woods in 2019. but he's since become one of the golfers to defect to the liv series, which would make him a controversial winner at augusta. his lead is three shots over world number 2jon rahm, and four over us amateur champion sam bennett, who shot a second consecutive 68. the cut is looming for rory mcilroy. his round of 77 has him on 5 over par overall, and he's projected to miss the weekend. scotland failed to qualify for this year's women's world cup but they have claimed a morale—boosting victory over co—hosts australia.

still 0—0 in that match. under—pressure west ham boss david moyes says football is "like a drug" despite the precarious nature of the job. a 5—1 home defeat by newcastle on wednesday has left his club out of the premier league relegation zone only on goal difference ahead of their trip to fulham on saturday. moyes isn't even 60 yet but cited the recent returns to the dugout of 75—year—old roy hodgson to crystal palace and 74—year—old neil warnock to second tier huddersfield. this is like a drug stop this is why you see why it wasn't coming back age 75 and neil warnock coming back. so many good people in the game, and the journey they are all they continue to stay on it because they have a great love of the game and they want to stay in it. but part of being a football manager is that you don't always win all the time. sometimes you lose, you have to learn how to deal with it and bounce back so we are looking forward to

trying to bounce back in our next game. christian eriksen is back in the manchester united squad for saturday's premier league game against everton at old trafford the dane was expected to miss the rest of the season but has recovered from an ankle injury ahead of schedule. united manger erik ten hag says he's still annoyed about the foul that caused the damage injanuary. i was so angry about that tackle. yeah, when he was away, at first we feared we had lost him for the whole season but the medical department did really well, and he is already returning to the squad and so available for the final stages of this season so we are very pleased with that. bangladesh beat ireland by seven wickets in a one—off test in mirpur. the tourists resumed their second innings on 286—8 but could only add 6 runs on the morning of day 4. that left bangladesh

needing 138 for victory which they reached with ease. more on those stories on the website. particular eyes on tiger woods at agusta.— woods at agusta. playing is 25th masters he _ woods at agusta. playing is 25th masters he is — woods at agusta. playing is 25th masters he is on _ woods at agusta. playing is 25th masters he is on the _ woods at agusta. playing is 25th masters he is on the cusp - woods at agusta. playing is 25th masters he is on the cusp of- masters he is on the cusp of potentially making the weekend are missing the cut. head to the website for that. that is all of your support for now. i'm sure that all those eyes will be on tiger woods for his 25th masters. that is amazing. there have been incidents in israel over the last couple of days. and in this latest incident one person has been killed and several injured according to the israeli security services. the israeli ambulance service is reporting that those

killed or injured are foreign tourists. that is all we know at the moment. those pictures being sent from the scene. just to tell you again, one person killed in tel aviv, we are being told by the israeli security services, and several injured. northern ireland is marking the 25th anniversary of the signing of the good friday agreement which largely ended 30 years of sectarian violence. hundreds of extra police have been brought in for events which will culminate in a visit to belfast by the us president on wednesday. a quarter of a century after that agreement was struck, political tensions remain in northern ireland. wejust want political tensions remain in northern ireland. we just want to bring in the panel for this. it is

such a momentous anniversary. 25 years. said, we will start with you, when we think about how relations have changed and how much it has changed all of our lives in the uk and in ireland and in northern ireland. n and in ireland and in northern ireland. . ., , , . , ireland. i am not sure if this dates me and a bad _ ireland. i am not sure if this dates me and a bad way _ ireland. i am not sure if this dates me and a bad way but _ ireland. i am not sure if this dates me and a bad way but i _ ireland. i am not sure if this dates me and a bad way but i remember being at primary school and good friday all of those years ago, and the head teacher of the school coming in and telling us that this great thing had happened, and he described the war in northern ireland coming to an end, one of my earliest political memories. it was quite some time ago. it is very good that this anniversary is happening at a time when things are stabling in terms of northern ireland's position within the united kingdom that rishi sunak has agreed the windsor framework with the eu seeking to solve some of the issues created by brexit in terms of trade

between great britain and the island of ireland. it comes at a sad moment as well that the institutions created by the good friday agreement, particularly stormont are still not up and running. the democratic unionist party, which represents the predominantly protestant unionist community within northern ireland are refusing to go back into stormont because they are not happy with the windsor framework and by the brexit settlement is and it comes at a moment when you say do we need to re—examine the institutions, do they need to be reformed because the politics of northern ireland have changed immeasurably since the good friday agreement was signed. us president joe biden is going to the island of ireland in the coming days, after his personal history. i hope that we look at this and remember that those institutions that stormont are important, they are essential to the peace process and hopefully he will be good at bashing heads together to get agreement to get a government in

and an hour and a half at border controls at dover. a month from king charles' coronation, new banknotes featuring the king's image are being printed in their millions. however, to give time to allow self—service cash registers to recognise the new face, the notes won't enter into circulation until the middle of next year. a sneak preview of what we will be buying your groceries with but not for a year. has your invitation for the coronation arrived yet, seb? that is completely my fault for asking you both at the same time, one at a time, seb, have you got an invitation? ., ., �* , . one at a time, seb, have you got an invitation?— invitation? no, i don't expect one and a post — invitation? no, i don't expect one and a post service _ invitation? no, i don't expect one and a post service is _ invitation? no, i don't expect one and a post service is so _ invitation? no, i don't expect one and a post service is so rubbish i invitation? no, i don't expect one and a post service is so rubbish in

of all of the last coronation, i mean how long queen elizabeth was only throwing for, so this will be a huge moment, and obviously the king has been in situ for six months before the coronation, he has done well, following queen elizabeth ii was always going to be difficult but he has done well, he has done it with grace and sensitivity and it is gradually starting to modernise the institutions and look towards a slimmed down monarchy, and when you compare this coronation ceremony to the one that you saw the queen elizabeth second, it will be a very different affair, much slimmer, and everything you have seen about it symbolises that, and much of the outpouring around the passing of the queen so the best of modern britain and hopefully we will see the best of modern britain.—

some of the most interesting stories, i can look back at the beginning of my career as a junior reporter during 9/11. that was a huge story and it wasn't so difficult to tell because i had to interview people who had lost colleagues and loved ones in those towers in new york. moving on, the economic crisis of 2008 was a huge story both in the uk and globally. i spoke to so many people whose lives had been turned upside down by the banking crisis and subsequent economic format. i was the chief presenter during the covid pandemic and coming into work trying to convey the story to viewers stuck at home during lockdown not only in the uk but across the world. more recently i was sent to windsor to cover the funeral of prince philip the duke of edinburgh sol cover the funeral of prince philip the duke of edinburgh so i was there getting a real sense of loss and sadness. it was a great honour for me to be sent out by the bbc to cover a story like that. live with

what we're going to put in the set list for the show. the tour was to include nostalgic favourites like reach, bring it all back, and never had a dream come true. 46—year—old paul cattermole died at his home in dorset yesterday. the cause of his death is unknown. police say there are no suspicious circumstances. it's a huge shock. when news like that comes through and you sort of have to check it twice because it's a part of so many people's childhoods as well. itjust seems... well, it is incredibly untimely. in a statement, his s club 7 bandmates said they were "truly devastated" and that there were "no words to describe the deep sadness". "we are all so lucky to have had him in our lives and thankful for the amazing memories," they said. paul cattermole had previously spoken about difficulties he faced in the years after the peak of the band's fame. i went bankrupt and i had to give all that money back.

you had tax problems. tax problems, paid it off, owed about 30... the lawyer fees on that were 46. all the money on that tour went to pay that bill off and i had to do the nextjob that came in because it's showbiz. s club 7's fan base stretched as far as australia. worldwide, they sold more than 10 million albums. it's the start of the easter weekend, which means you may be stocking up on chocolate eggs ready for sunday — and for one 9—year—old girl, it's a matter taken very seriously. for the last four years, clarissa has been making an extra special delivery to the queen elizabeth hospital in birmingham. amy cole has been to meet her. loading 377 easter eggs requires help so some of the nurses have

and out towards the west, frontal systems waiting in the atlantic, which will eventually bring some outbreaks of rain. so as we go through tonight, we will see more of this cloud rolling in across eastern scotland and eastern england. and at the same time, some fog patches could develop through parts of the midlands and down into southeast england. elsewhere, some clear spells which will allow temperatures to drop. we're going to get quite close to freezing in places, so some of us will see a touch of frost to start saturday morning. but on balance, saturday, still a fine looking day. some spells of sunshine, but more cloud across parts of eastern scotland and eastern england. i think that cloud will tend to retreat towards the north sea coast, but where the cloud does linger, it'll make it feel really rather cool. temperatures there in aberdeen maybe only getting to around eight celsius. further west, sunny skies and highs of 15 or 16, but we will see more cloud into northern ireland, a very weak frontal system that could bring the odd spot of rain here during saturday night. and then into sunday, here comes another weather front and this one will have a bit more energy about it. so we will certainly see the cloud thickening up

across northern ireland. some rain here by the afternoon, perhaps eventually into western scotland, west wales, the far south west of england. but ahead of that, some spells of sunshine, some areas of cloud, but with a strengthening southerly breeze, it is going to feel warm. temperatures could get as high as 16 or 17 degrees. but through sunday night, this frontal system pushes eastwards, taking outbreaks of rain with it. i think the most persistent rain will mainly be confined to the overnight hours, but some will linger in eastern england for a time on monday morning. could be quite a wet day across the northern isles, elsewhere, sunny spells, yes, but also some showers, some of which could be heavy, possibly with some hail and some thunder and slightly lower temperatures, typically between ten and 15 degrees. and then as we head deeper into next week, quite a change, actually. some spells of rain and the chance of gales.
