is communicated to the young people. it's how waiting lists are going to be handled and how that's communicated to the young people and to the families. you know, it's how much support is offered in terms of, like, emotional support, in terms of checking in with people who are on those waiting lists.

but what we do want to do is to push for and to advocate for these young people being looked after better. there are currently around 8,000 young people on that waiting list, some waiting years without any help at all. the health secretary, steve barclay, says he is clear that the new services providing that help must fully reflect the recommendations from the cass review and these, he says, differ significantly to the services provided at the tavistock. for the families waiting, the sooner they can access that care, the better. hannah barnes. in a statement, nhs england told us it was developing a new training framework for clinicians providing care in children's gender services and would not adopt old training materials previously used by gids. it added that all aspects of the new services would be guided by the ongoing cass review. tomorrow's front pages. the daily mail, fears of chaos of doctors and nurses�* strike together. the rcn told us they would consider coordinated strike action with the junior doctors. 0n the front page of the guardian, nursing strikes could go on until christmas. and also a photograph of a spanish athlete who spent 500 days in a cave underground as part of some kind of experiment, she was closely monitored by scientists. and the front of the ft, musk to launch an aia start—up to rival chatterjee pt. —— chatgpt.

breaking news from around the world 2a hours a day, this is bbc news. the group teixeira led reportedly had some two dozen members, including foreigners, who talked about war games and shared racist jokes. but us officials were not aware of the leak until material was posted outside the chat group on other platforms, like message board 4chan, messaging app telegram, and eventually twitter. but teixeira�*s friends said he wasn�*t trying to undermine the government. any claims that he is a russian operative or pro—russian is categorically false.

he is not interested in helping any foreign agencies with their attack on the us or other countries. he was a young charismatic man who loved nature, god, who loved shooting guns and racing cars. washington is facing a major diplomatic embarrassment and the pentagon is investigating how such a low ranking officer could cause such a high—profile intelligence leak. what makes this particular leak of classified information so unique and so damaging, in many other instances we've had in the past where there has been a leak of classified information, it is dated, it is old information, or it's about sort of broader programmes. that doesn't mean it's not sensitive or damaging, but the point is, it is not incident specific. what you have here is classified information that is about real—time national security foreign policy issues, military conflicts.

it is the third big leak in 13 years. the us needs to convince allies it can keep its secrets. barbara plett usher, bbc news, boston. let�*s bring you more on this story now. jack teixiera is being charged under the espionage act. he faces one count of "unauthorised retention and transmission of national defence information" as well as one count of "unauthorised removal and retention of classified documents or material". if found guilty of those charges, mr teixeira faces up to 15 years in prison. for more on this, i spoke earlier to congressmanjim himes, who serves as the top democrat on the house intelligence committee. congressman, thank you much for joining us. i think the first question on many peoples mind right now is how did a 21—year—old national guardsmen, relatively junior position, how did he have access to such highly ossified

material? . access to such highly ossified material?— access to such highly ossified material? . . ~ , ., ., . material? yeah, thank you for having me, and it material? yeah, thank you for having me. and it is — material? yeah, thank you for having me, and it is really _ material? yeah, thank you for having me, and it is really not _ material? yeah, thank you for having me, and it is really not a _ material? yeah, thank you for having me, and it is really not a function - me, and it is really not a function of the individual�*s age. we charge 21—year—olds with leading combat troops, we put a lot of faith in our young people. it is more a question of, did an obscure networkjourney man, i guess was his title, in massachusetts, did that individual need to have actual access to these documents to do the network maintenance or administration that was required? why in the world was he permitted to print these documents? so there are very serious questions about why this system is set up to permit what happened to happen, but is not so much his age, it is the permissions inside these symptoms don�*t make systems. presumably he would not be the only one of his rank or his age who have access to this kind of information, and just to remind everybody, this had to do with military

preparedness, america�*s allies and enemies, as well as very specific information about russia and ukraine and the war there. sol information about russia and ukraine and the war there. so i was someone like him in his position able to access, print out and then share these documents? == access, print out and then share these documents?— access, print out and then share these documents? , . , ,., ., these documents? -- why was someone like him? this— these documents? -- why was someone like him? this is— these documents? -- why was someone like him? this is the _ these documents? -- why was someone like him? this is the question, - these documents? -- why was someone like him? this is the question, as- these documents? -- why was someone like him? this is the question, as a - like him? this is the question, as a member of congress charged with oversight of these things, i can tell you that is the question that we will be asking. and by the way it is not a new question. edward snowden, who in excess of ten years ago apparently had a similar story, as far as he was a network administrator. and edward starting�*s is, he had been fired or moved on from differentjobs for underperformance, so that you had behavioural issues, but similar issue. how is it possible that more was not done to plug a leak that we had already catastrophically witnessed? in had already catastrophically witnessed?— had already catastrophically witnessed? ., ., witnessed? in your opinion, how damauuin witnessed? in your opinion, how damaging is— witnessed? in your opinion, how damaging is this _ witnessed? in your opinion, how

defence material or leaks coming defence material or lea ks coming from defence material or leaks coming from intelligence agencies? this appears to be a broader problem across multiple different areas of us government.— across multiple different areas of us government. yeah, it is, it is. this is not— us government. yeah, it is, it is. this is not a— us government. yeah, it is, it is. this is not a problem _ us government. yeah, it is, it is. this is not a problem you - us government. yeah, it is, it is. this is not a problem you will - us government. yeah, it is, it is. | this is not a problem you will ever fix in its entirety for the edward snowden, mrteixeira, reality winter, this is an underlying tension, that intelligence is most stable when it is widely shared, and one of the lessons of 9/11 was that our intelligence community was not sharing enough information, in that case cia and fbi were not talking to each other. that can lead to tragic outcomes, but the more you share information, the more the possibility one is individual can blow that information. there were these two things we need to do. number one, look at the culture. i want to understand why the culture was a lackadaisical at this base in

massachusetts. i want to know what the culture was in the provincial —— presidential transition, various boxes mining the way to mar—a—lago. it is a technological issue and a leadership issue for computers versus —— are very sophisticated today... is the us now, because we know this was not a traditional leak, this was not the way that edward snowden did things, sneaking things out on a thumb drive, this involved a platform called a discord, is the us prepared for what could be a new era of digital leaking that may not involve whistle—blowers, it may not involve whistle—blowers, it may not involve spies even, this could come as we think we know now, just may be as we think we know now, just may be a 21—year—old individual who may not have had an agenda instantly wanted to share some documents online with somebody�*s? to share some documents online with somebody's?— somebody's? yeah, we will never run out of motives _ somebody's? yeah, we will never run out of motives for _ somebody's? yeah, we will never run out of motives for why _ somebody's? yeah, we will never run out of motives for why an _ somebody's? yeah, we will never run out of motives for why an individual. out of motives for why an individual will make a bad decision and betray

his country, ultimately. the traditional motives have been a logical, they have been money, david sex, this time it is apparently impressing other people, and what is ironic about this is it was the lowest of low tech things, printing things out and then caring about in your pocket, there is nothing 21st—century high—tech about that, and it reminds us again, we spent a lot of time and energy defending against very sophisticated cyber attacks and network exclusion by our enemies, but we need to remember and not lose sight of the fact people can stick the stuff in their pocket and walking out the door. jim himes, rankin: and walking out the door. jim himes, ranking member— and walking out the door. jim himes, ranking member of _ and walking out the door. jim himes, ranking member of the _ and walking out the door. jim himes, ranking member of the house - ranking member of the house intelligence committee, thank you for your time. here in washington, there�*s been a new development concerning access to abortion. us supreme courtjustice samuel alito has temporarily extended access to the highly—contested abortion drug mifepristone while the court considers the case. you may remember last week when two courts, one in washington state and one in texas, issued conflicting rulings

on access to the abortion pill, leading to the supreme court weighing in. the interim stay will expire at midnight on wednesday here in washington, dc. 0ur correspondent jessica parker has more. this was an 11th—hour ruling by the supreme courtjustice alito, basically preventing changes that were on the verge of coming into force from doing so, at least for now. now, what had been about to happen across the us, in states where abortion remains legal, is that women were not going to be able to take mifepristone, which is typically used as part of a two—drug regimen beyond seven weeks of pregnancy — it�*s a very widely used method of abortion, actually used in the majority of cases — nor were they going to be able to order the drug by mail, have it delivered by mail. those changes, though, those restrictions are not coming into force for now.

that�*s despite a week of headlines and uncertainty. and to some extent, the uncertainty does continue because this is just a temporary halt to changes or restrictions on mifepristone — in fact, actually only in place, as things stand, for the next five days. let�*s bring you some breaking news. montana lawmakers on friday approved a first—of—its—kind bill to ban tiktok across the state, setting the stage for future court battles that could determine the fate in the us of the popular, chinese—owned social media app. tiktok have responded... we will continue...

that statement coming from tiktok mac. we will bring you more, of course, as we get it —— tiktok. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. inside mitchells auction house in cockermouth is an astonishing collection that�*s taken weeks to itemize and catalogue, ready for sale. this is one of the largest private collections of railway — model railway — stuff i�*ve ever seen. it�*s really of national importance because collections like this do not come up very often. for the north of england, this is almost unique. and this all came out of a small terraced house. so extensive is it that many engines and accessories have never been out of their original boxes, making them more valuable. but there�*s more to it than that. this isn�*tjust one man�*s astonishing collection, there is real attention to detail here, the way that he has physically aged some of these models to make it even more authentic on the track.

enthusiasts have travelled from across the country, hoping to add to their own collection. anything here that you�*ve seen that you will be interested in having yourself? one or two things, yes! yes, definitely. you�*re live with bbc news. there have been at least 149 mass shootings in the us since the start of the year. and now experts are sounding the alarm over so—called "ghost guns". as big—name republicans like former president donald trump, florida governor ron desantis and former ambassador to the un nikki haley make appearances at the annual nra convention, the gun debate rages on. at the heart of that debate is ghost guns, which are untraceable firearms that can be built with parts acquired online. despite new federal rules regulating them and a dozen states banning them, anyone, without a background check, can still create a ghost gun. for more on this, i�*m joined now

by the bbc�*s nada tawfik. nada, you will be looking at this issue closely. what more can you tell us? . , ,., tell us? yet, there are still so many americans _ tell us? yet, there are still so many americans who - tell us? yet, there are still so many americans who are - tell us? yet, there are still so - many americans who are unaware of what a ghost gun is, and it is such a divisive issue for those who are passionate about it. for law enforcement and gun—control advocates, they say that this is the fastest growing gun safety problem that the united states faces right now and that it will soon become an international problem wassup if you look here in new york, it wasjust international problem wassup if you look here in new york, it was just a few years ago, back in 2018, when they recovered only about 17 ghost guns. fast—forward to 2021 and they had more than 250 ghost guns recovered from crime scenes. if you go speak to gun rights groups, they say that this whole issue is being exaggerated so i wanted to speak to all sides for myself. take a look. targeting gun violence just got harder for law enforcement.

at this centre, run by the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives, ballistic evidence is evaluated and matched to crime scenes — a central part of cracking down on the illegal use of and trafficking of firearms. well, they don�*t have serial numbers on them. but a growing phenomenon, so—called ghost guns that are unregistered and untraceable, has added a new layer of complexity. in my hand is a ghost gun and it looks, feels, shoots like a regular traceable weapon. the problem is these are now flooding the streets and on crime scenes, it is increasingly ghost guns that are recovered. the number of ghost guns recovered has risen more than 1,000% since 2017. but because they do not have serial numbers, there is no way to knowjust how many are in circulation, making them the fastest growing gun safety problem according to experts. they are kind of hard to trace. because the firearms are ultimately identified by the frame itself.

0nline, anyone can buy parts without a background check. tutorials explain how to assemble the pieces into a fully functioning firearm in less than one hour. it was a 17—year—old who had this gun. yeah. manuel yambo had never heard of a ghost gun until his daughter was killed by one according to prosecutors. angellyh was one block from her school in the bronx in new york when she and two other teens got caught in the crossfire of a gunfight. angellyh wasn�*t the target, it was somebody else. he didn�*t even hit none of them. you would think that things like that, you know, you can�*tjust, you know, order it online, like if it was a toy. who do you think holds the blame? where is the problem here? i�*m going to say the manufacturers. lauren kelly is a ghost gun manufacturer. he feels for angellyh�*s family, but despite data showing firearms are the leading cause of death for american children, he is against government regulation.

people need to separate in their minds violence and guns, they have to separate them. they are often times in certain situations related because it's an implement used, but violence is a thing unto itself. it�*s a distinction this family does not make. angellyh died just a few months after her 16th birthday. they are now hoping to turn their personal tragedy into something positive, with a foundation in her name to prevent the loss of another child. nada, we heard there in the piece about some of the dangers of ghost guns. how are us states addressing that? ., 4' guns. how are us states addressing that? ., ~ ., that? here in new york, where i am, they actually — that? here in new york, where i am, they actually issued _ that? here in new york, where i am, they actually issued a _ that? here in new york, where i am, they actually issued a ban _ that? here in new york, where i am, they actually issued a ban against - they actually issued a ban against ghost guns a long with about a dozen

other states, and what they�*ve done is worked with task forces to try to really target some of these rings. so if you lookjust back in the last few months, from december to march, they already dismantled two different drug trafficking and ghost gun and regular gun rings. in march they recovered 12 ghost guns. in december they removed 51 ghost guns, so you new york says that they are making sure to go after this as best they can, because, remember, they�*re unsure exactly how many ghost guns are out there and anyone who cannot get a gun legally, this is a very attractive option for them. so law enforcement has to stay on top of this, they say, to make sure that committees remain safe. new york also want to stop ghost gun manufacturers, ten of them, from selling receivers. here in new york they have a lawsuit against those manufacturers, but what experts are

saying despite bands in states, despite the biden administration putting several regular in—place, you see often times that a lot of these traffickers are just going to other states then bringing the guns into you new york —— regulations in place. that is what we saw happen in those instances.— place. that is what we saw happen in those instances. meanwhile, the nra conference taking _ those instances. meanwhile, the nra conference taking place. _ those instances. meanwhile, the nra conference taking place. former- conference taking place. former president donald trump spoke earlier. let�*s hear what he had to say earlier at the conference. the politically incorrect truth that no one on the left wants to admit is that violent crime is really committed by legal gun owners, it is committed by a brutal class of hardened repeat criminals. that's who's doing it. nada, we heard there from the president talking about illegal versus legal guns. what do the statistics say on the issue? when ou look statistics say on the issue? when you look at _ statistics say on the issue? when you look at gun — statistics say on the issue? when you look at gun violence - statistics say on the issue? when you look at gun violence as - statistics say on the issue? when you look at gun violence as a - statistics say on the issue? when i you look at gun violence as a whole, in this country, it is a very intricate picture. we have more than

half of deaths by suicide for example, but when you look at homicides in this country by guns, in proportion to other countries, the united states still ranks very high, so what you have, conservatives, republicans, saying and what you heard the former president donald trump saying is that america does not have a gun problem. if you look at mass shootings, they say that this is more of a mental health issue, there are societal and cultural issues here, it is not about guns. 0n the other side of the aisle, those who want tighter restrictions to access guns say that america is not necessarily a more violent society than any other, it always points back to the number of guns that are in this country. there are more guns than people in america and we now know that guns are the leading cause of american teens and children. so what they�*re saying is that, yes, all there are other issues, in inner cities, when you talk about poverty

for example, those are all issues as well, but what they want to do is make sure that guns are out of the hands of those who should not have them whether it be those who could be harmful to themselves with mental health issues, whether it be the criminal element, but again we just see that guns remain such a divisive issue in this country that reaching a middle point to solve a lot of the crime we have really gets bogged down in more of these psychological debates about the right of gun owners and the fear that those who want to place more restrictions just want to place more restrictions just want to place more restrictions just want to take away their rights —— these ideological debates. than these ideological debates. an emotional time as well, coming two days after two separate mass shootings. going back to that nra convention, donald trump not the only big—name there, a full roster of 2024 presidential hopefuls. what have they been saying? it of 2024 presidential hopefuls. what have they been saying?— have they been saying? it was quite strikin: to have they been saying? it was quite striking to see _ have they been saying? it was quite striking to see the _ have they been saying? it was quite striking to see the full— have they been saying? it was quite striking to see the full line-up. - have they been saying? it was quite striking to see the full line-up. we | striking to see the full line—up. we had the former vice president mike pence. he was there on stage.

interestingly, he got a few boos from the crowd. it was clearly a pro—trump crowd there at the nra. they gave the former president a standing ovation. we also heard from the 40 governor ron desantis, who has not announced he is running but many expect that he will, along with the former un ambassador nikki haley, the senatorfrom south carolina tim scott. all of them really reaffirmed that they are staunch gun rights advocates, and promised to the crowd that if they made it to the white house, they would fight against what they call the liberal agenda to take away people�*s lawful gun rights. so, really, interesting to see the campaign speech tone. itjust really underscores how much these republicans covet the endorsement of this influential base of the party. the bbc�*s nada tawfik, thank you very much for your reporting. in other news...

after a one—day delay because of bad weather, the european space agency has successfully launched its mission to see if the moons ofjupiter can support alien life. thejupiter icy moons explorer took off from the european spaceport in french guiana. it will take eight years to reach its destination where it will examine three ofjupiter�*s moons to see if their hidden oceans of water could contain living organisms. germany is to take its three remaining nuclear power stations off grid today, ending more than 60 years of nuclear energy production. the shutdown was postponed by several months as the german government sought to secure alternative energy supplies to russian gas. it will take years — perhaps decades — to fully decommission the nuclear plants. even as the highly specialised work begins, germany�*s politicians are still bickering over whether they�*ve made the right decision. the united states has charged 0vidio guzman—lopez and other key members of mexico�*s sinaloa cartel with running a huge operation that supplies fentanyl to the us.

among those accused are sons of the cartel leader, joaquin "el chapo" guzman, who is imprisoned in the us. also charged are owners of chinese companies that allegedly provided chemicals to the sinaloa gang, and middlemen in guatemala. before we go, a reminder of some breaking news this hour. montana lawmakers on friday approved a first—of—its—kind bill to ban tiktok across the state, setting the stage for future court battles that could determine the fate in the us of the popular, chinese—owned social media app. the proposed law was passed by 54 votes for and 43 against and is the first by a us state. afp is reporting that under this proposed law, apple and google would have to remove tiktok from their app stores and companies will face daily fines of $10,000 if found in violation. we�*ll have more on this story as it develops. thanks for watching.

hello. this weekend will bring a change in the weather. we�*re not talking about a heat wave, we�*re not talking about wall—to—wall sunshine, but something a little warmer and brighter than we�*ve been used to over the last few days. the reason is high pressure, which will be building its way in. this frontal system across eastern counties of england and south—east scotland will provide some cloud and some splashes of rain to start the morning. this cloud will tend to break up through the day, although there is still the chance of one or two showers across eastern england and into eastern scotland. further west, a slice of sunshine. but then we will see cloud rolling into northern ireland and maybe some rain into western counties later on in the day. temperatures, well, a little higher than they have been of late, 10 degrees in lerwick, 15 perhaps as the high in glasgow.

and then as we head through saturday night, we will see this zone of cloud with some areas of rainfall moving across northern ireland. and then turning cloudy for many other western parts as well, where we keep some clear skies towards the south—east corner, where there could be a touch of frost in one or two locations milder out towards the west, where we will have more cloud thanks to this frontal system. but broadly speaking, high pressure is stilljust about in charge. there�*s not going to be a huge amount of rain. and while some eastern coasts will struggle temperature—wise, further west, a feed of southerly winds will bring something a little bit warmer. but we will have a fair amount of cloud to contend with, i think, on sunday. best of the sunshine, quite likely to be across northeast scotland, some brighter skies for northern ireland and maybe some brightness clinging on across the south—east corner as well, which could lift temperatures to 16, maybe 17 degrees across the coast of northeast scotland. as we head into monday, perhaps some early fog patches and some cloud lingering for parts of scotland and northern ireland,

at least for a time. and with a feed of easterly winds, temperatures on some of the north sea coasts will struggle a little. 14 degrees for aberdeen and for hull, but further west, highs of 17 or 18 degrees. high pressure stays with us as we head through the coming week. but the alignment, the orientation of this high will tends to bring us an easterly wind, which means these eastern coasts will always be on the chilly side. the highest temperatures further west. but for the most part, it is looking largely dry with some spells of sunshine. bye for now.

hello and welcome to a new spots. the bbc got a big scoop with its elon musk interview, but who was actually calling the shots on this broadcast quest mark and in a documentary nearly half an hour long on the good friday agreement, why did mo mullins will not get a mention because mark. elon musk has not been a source of fascination for the worlds media because of his extreme wealth, his interest in space travel, his controversial

tweets, and has occasional highly
