in a crush at a school in the yemeni capital sana'a, during distribution of charity for ramadan. video footage on social media shows chaotic scenes after the incident, in the bab—al—yemen area of the city. a warning, some of you might find this distressing. this visit this _ find this distressing. this visit this -- _ find this distressing. this visit this -- this - find this distressing. this visit this -- this vision i find this distressing. this - visit this -- this vision comes visit this —— this vision comes from a tv station affiliated with the houthi rebel group. as you can see here, this is distressing video, apparently a crush of people, many of whom looked to be in distress. it's the middle of the night right now in yemen. we are working to reach journalists now in yemen. we are working to reachjournalists and now in yemen. we are working to reach journalists and aid organisations on the ground. we'll bring you an update on this story as soon as we get further details. ukraine says it's received the first of the us—made patriot air defence systems it's been promised. a spokesman said they would help to deter russian aircraft. it comes ahead of an expected urkrainian spring offensive. bbc correspondentjames

waterhouse from kyiv. there was a time in ukraine when ministers were deeply frustrated over the speed germany was providing military aid. well, this is a sizeable 2.2 billion euros package which has been announced. crucially for kyiv, it includes patriot air defence systems made in the us. they are seen as one of the best of its kind. they can launch missiles for up to 150 kilometres, missiles as well as enemy aircraft on what kyiv is saying is that it will allow them to repel russian aircraft and keep them out of ukrainian our space because up to this point in this war, neither side has secured our dominance but this as i say as part of a real big announcement from berlin. 18 leopard tanks have been announced, 500 pistols, 3000 anti—tank weapons, a military
2:03 am
hospital alongside estonia and 100000 and grenades. itjust shows how expensive this conflict is in just about every way. but i think right now, kyiv has been asking for air defence systems to be improved which includes ammunition. there were doubts over crucial stocks running out. this will go some way to relax those worries but russia is sewing no signs of letting up in terms of firing drones and missiles right across ukrainian airspace. here in the us, gun violence continues to plague several states this week. let's look at the latest. in missouri, the 84—year—old man charged with shooting 16—year—old ralph yarl on his doorstep pleaded not guilty to felony charges in his first court appearance in the case. yarl, a black teenager is still recovering after he was attacked when he went to the wrong house
2:04 am
to pick up his brothers. further south in texas, two high school cheerleaders were shot after apparently approaching the wrong car in a parking lot outside of austin. one of the atheletes remains in critical condition. and in alabama, a third person, a 20 year old man, has been arrested and charged with 4 counts of murder after a shooting at a birthday party on saturday in a dance studio. the other two charged were teenager brothers. here's the district attorney earlier today: the message that i want to send is i know some of these victims personally, some of these kids are kids of friends of mine, people i went to school with, people i played ball with and in the community back in high school, and these are my kids. these are our kids. don't mess with our kids. do not mess with our kids. with me is our north america correspondentjessica parker. tell us what you found out about this case. as we know,
2:05 am
this shooting occurred on saturday evening at a sweet 16 birthday party in dadeville, alabama, a small town and as a result of that shooting, or people very sadly died, all young and the of 17 and 23. many others were injured, many of them teenagers, it was a teenager �*s birthday party. investigation followed, it's been described as quite a complicated investigation and as you were just saying, we had these over the course of the day, three arrests now in relation to the case. authorities are continuing to say they are still investigating, urging people to come forward with information if they haven't already. it seems quite unusual that we have so little information on the shooting.— have so little information on the shooting. more information has emerged — the shooting. more information has emerged but _ the shooting. more information has emerged but you're - has emerged but you're absolutely right, sunday morning, as news started to come out, media and other media we've spoken to because i was
2:06 am
in dadeville reporting on the story were finding it quite hard to find out information to a degree that did see quite unusual. something the police were saying today is they wanted to make sure any information they do release is right and accurate survey been resistant to any pressure to come forward with information before they say they are ready. i imagine that it's frustrating to friends and family on the ground have spoken to. it’s to friends and family on the ground have spoken to. it's a mix, actually. _ ground have spoken to. it's a mix, actually. when - ground have spoken to. it's a mix, actually. when i - ground have spoken to. it's a mix, actually. when i was . mix, actually. when i was speaking to people in the community and this is a tightknit community, a lot of people said to me everyone knows everyone, and that made it particularly difficult as well because many people knew the victims. some people were frustrated and surprised about lack of information that was coming out. others i spoke to, though, had to say —— i have to say, are prepared to let the authorities get on with the investigation and they sympathised to some degree with the idea that they didn't want to see the information released
2:07 am
before it was absolutely certain that it was accurate. so it's a bit mixed in that regard but certainly there was this general discussion going on about how little detail was initially coming out from the case. , ~ initially coming out from the case. , . ., case. yes, indeed. we mentioned three other shootings _ case. yes, indeed. we mentioned three other shootings that - three other shootings that occurred this week as a result of a mistake essentially. how is that impacted the debate around gun control in the us? this is a debate that has happened many times. because, there have been other devastating very tragic shootings in the united states. certainly in terms of the alabama shooting, discussions i've seen so far, it doesn't seem to necessarily have moved the debate forward. everyone seems to agree that they want to reduce gun violence. but the question then goes on as to how and there are still divisions on that. g ,, and there are still divisions onthat. ,, ., ~ and there are still divisions on that. ,, ., ~ ., ~ on that. jessica parker, thank ou for on that. jessica parker, thank you forjoining us. _ staying in the us there's been another delay in the battle over access to a widely used abortion medication. the us supreme court is allowing the pill to remain on the market through friday, extending an earlier deadline. mifepristone was first
2:08 am
approved by the us food and drug administration two decades ago, and is used in more than half of all abortions in the us. it's a complex story — let's take a look at how we got here. earlier this month a judge in texas invalidated the fda's approval of the drug, which would have seen it taken off shelves. but shortly after, a judge in washington state issued an opposing ruling. the federal government then stepped in. it appealed the texas court's decision and asked for the drug to be kept on shelves until the case was resolved. that was agreed to but with additional restirctions. (ani)there were disagreements about those addtional —— there were disagreements out those addtional restrictions — escalating the case to the supreme court. and last fridayjustice samuel alito ordered at temporary block on those restrictions. the drug was kept on the market without limits. which brings us to today — when a decision was due from the supreme court. that's now been delayed until friday. there's been no explanation offered by the court. joining me live to
2:09 am
discuss is mary ziegler, a professor at florida state university college of law, and lawrence gostin who is the chair in global health at georgetown university law school. it's good to see you both and thank you forjoining us. mary, i want to start with you. why do we see this delay to this decision again? i do we see this delay to this decision again?— do we see this delay to this decision again? i don't think we know — decision again? i don't think we know i— decision again? i don't think we know. i mean _ decision again? i don't think we know. i mean it's- decision again? i don't think. we know. i mean it's possible that the court simply was doing something administrative. justice alito is usually the onlyjustice inputs deadlines onlyjustice inputs deadlines on things. it could mean a progressive or conservative justice is unhappy about what the court is doing and is writing something, it's possible the court is postponing this because it needs more time to deal with a complex issue and it's also possible the court may be doing something unpopular and scheduling it for friday when people will be paying less attention. i should clarify, people will be paying less attention. ishould clarify, i don't work at florida state anymore. i work at uc davis. thank you for that update, we are happy to that that known.

2:11 am
frightened that they are going to lose access to an essential medication for their reproductive health. we have seen some states with more liherai— seen some states with more liberal abortion laws stopping —— stocking up on supplies of this— —— stocking up on supplies of this medication. is -- stocking up on supplies of this medication.— this medication. is there a threat of _ this medication. is there a threat of a _ this medication. is there a threat of a possible - this medication. is there a threat of a possible ban i this medication. is there a | threat of a possible ban on this medication. is there a - threat of a possible ban on the horizon that some states could run out of these medications? absolutely, and it's even worse than that — absolutely, and it's even worse than that. for some reason which — than that. for some reason which i'm _ than that. for some reason which i'm not expecting, but it's possible, the texasjudge has upheld all the way to the supreme _ has upheld all the way to the supreme court, it would mean that this — supreme court, it would mean that this essential drug no longer— that this essential drug no longer has fda approval. there would _ longer has fda approval. there would he — longer has fda approval. there would be a legal cloud over prescribing and dispensing it. as i _ prescribing and dispensing it. as i say, _ prescribing and dispensing it. as i say, that would be a game—changer. it's never happened in the entire history of the — happened in the entire history of the fda. it believes that this— of the fda. it believes that this drug is safe and effective, it safer and more effective than a lot of drugs

2:13 am
century antivirus law which suggests amounts to a ban on abortion. we can't rule that out but on the other hand, even a court as conservative as this one has lots of procedural off ramps, if it doesn't want to deal with this case. the plaintiffs almost certainly don't have standing, the case almost certainly isn't timely. there are of defects with this is a case regardless of this, what you think generally the court wants, an opportunity to undermine access and even further, they may see this as a way to do that. i further, they may see this as a way to do that.— way to do that. i want to ask about what _ way to do that. i want to ask about what precedent - way to do that. i want to ask about what precedent here | way to do that. i want to ask. about what precedent here is, if there is to be a ban of mifepristone, some reproductive rights activist by saying this could impact down the road access to birth control for example. you see that as a possibility? it example. you see that as a possibility?— example. you see that as a possibility? it would certainly su: est possibility? it would certainly suggest the _ possibility? it would certainly suggest the courthouse - possibility? it would certainly| suggest the courthouse doors are open to challenges, to drugs that people don't like, and those challenges can be brought when there is no new evidence. a lot of the science here, to use the term lightly,
2:14 am
that the plaintiffs are relying on, isn't new. it's claims that have been around and reviewed by fda and projected in the past, so if that's the standard for getting the approval of a drug, this won't be the last time we see anyone tried. that could certainly extend to other drugs that people have, political controversy about including the birth control pill but not limited to drugs in the reproductive help domain either. i think also drugs that are controversial in other areas, like covid drugs, for example so this would set a pretty serious precedent across the board. pretty serious precedent across the board-— the board. lawrence, iwant our the board. lawrence, iwant your take — the board. lawrence, iwant your take on _ the board. lawrence, iwant your take on this _ the board. lawrence, iwant your take on this as - the board. lawrence, iwant your take on this as well. i the board. lawrence, i want. your take on this as well. does this set a precedent for other medications? i this set a precedent for other medications?— medications? i think it's very worrying. — medications? i think it's very worrying. once _ medications? i think it's very worrying, once we _ medications? i think it's very worrying, once we the - medications? i think it's very l worrying, once we the science of the — worrying, once we the science of the fda stop yes, i think that— of the fda stop yes, i think that if— of the fda stop yes, i think that if we see the supreme court — that if we see the supreme court allow this to go forward in a _ court allow this to go forward in a warm, _ court allow this to go forward in a warm, it could be open hunting _ in a warm, it could be open hunting season on other drugs,

2:26 am
download our app later stories and headlines around the hour. i am sumi somaskanda from washington. thank you for watching. hello there. high pressure is continuing to bring a lot of dry, settled, sunny weather throughout the day for most areas on thursday, but like the last few days, we've got a keen easterly wind out there. that's taking the edge off. the temperatures will be noticeably chilly along north sea coasts and there will be some rain at times and more cloud across south—east england courtesy of this weather front, which will move in off the near continent. you'll notice there's a slight blue hue to the air mass, indicating that the air is quite chilly as well. so when you factor in the strong wind and slightly cooler air, then it will be a little bit fresher across the board. however, most places starting off dry, widespread sunshine and much of the country will stay dry and sunny all day. but then we'll see that area of cloud and some splashes of rain pushing into east anglia in the south—east during the afternoon. it's here where
2:27 am
the winds will be quite gusty as well. so with a lack of sunshine here and the gusty winds, it'll actually feel on the cool side now. now certainly cool along north sea coast, nine or 10 degrees at best, but head further inland — it's the low to mid—teens or the warmest spots again, western scotland, the high teens, maybe even more than that. and like the last few days with the dry and sunny weather, tree pollen will be high or very high for many of us. so as we head through thursday evening and overnight that area, clouds, splashes of rain in the south—east starts to migrate westwards across much of england and also wales. whereas the northern half of the country will see clearer skies, slightly lighter winds. so another chilly one here. less cold, though, where we have the cloud, the rain and also the stronger breeze. so for friday, some changes for england and wales. we've got a number of weather fronts bringing more cloud outbreaks of rain, whereas scotland, northern ireland poking out into the high pressure. we'll have yet another dry and sunny day. pretty decent temperatures for western scotland, but england and wales will see outbreaks of rain. longer spells of rain, northern england, showery in nature, i think
2:28 am
parts of wales, central and southern england, a little bit of sunshine in between. but with more cloud and showers around, that'll impact the temperatures ten to 13 degrees here, whereas again, anotherfairly warm one for parts of scotland. but it is all change as we head into the weekend. lower pressure starts to bring more unsettled weather for a time. and as that low clears into the north sea, it opens the floodgates to a cold arctic northerly. so a much colder spell expected, particularly towards the end of the weekend and into next week. but you can see those temperatures beginning to fall across the north of the uk.
