we start with the daily mail. they are referencing dominic raab�*s stinging attack as he left government today in his resignation letter and interviews since. this is the front page of the guardian. on cbi exodus from the firm after new rape allegations. at the front page of the times. and the daily telegraph... that's all from us tonight. you can tell us what you are thinking at our e—mail address, kirsty is back on monday, have a good night.

they wouldn't be able to get the drug by mail. there are a number of options at the table at the moment. time is ticking by, presumably we're getting here pretty soon. time is ticking. there have been a flurry of different moves in recent weeks. i wonder, people you've been speaking to doctors, women for example, are they confused?—

they confused? yes, very confused. not only was _ they confused? yes, very confused. not only was this _ they confused? yes, very confused. not only was this ruling _ they confused? yes, very confused. not only was this ruling out - they confused? yes, very confused. not only was this ruling out of - not only was this ruling out of texas halting potentially of matawan, there was a ruling in washington state which sought to do the opposite and preserving for the clinics i spoke to talk about how sometimes women were ringing out, maybe they were travelling for states where abortion is currently illegal saying he should i come to my appointment, will i be able to access this drug? because the legal situation is been quite complicated, i have spoken to lawyers who are still trying to figure out what's going on. so it tonight will have to keep the focus on lawyers again to keep the focus on lawyers again to keep sense of this ruling. no doubt you probably will be speaking to legal advisers in this.— legal advisers in this. we're exoeeting — legal advisers in this. we're exoeeting to _ legal advisers in this. we're expecting to get _ legal advisers in this. we're expecting to get some - legal advisers in this. we're | expecting to get some news potentially from supreme court tonight. do we expect we could see further legal challenges here as well? ., , ., , , well? two parts to make their yes, because this _ well? two parts to make their yes, because this is _ well? two parts to make their yes, because this is about _ well? two parts to make their yes, because this is about the _ well? two parts to make their yes, because this is about the kind - well? two parts to make their yes, because this is about the kind of i because this is about the kind of emergency staving off the actual

merits of the original case. also, what we've seen since roe v wade, the overturning last year is it didn't sort of stop abortion being a debated issue, farfrom it. it is played out in the courts, state legislators as well. i think further legal discussions very likely. just parker legal discussions very likely. just parker putting it all into perspective for us in following the very closely. just, good to talk to you. turning now to sudan. its army has announced a new ceasefire — it says so people can celebrate the muslim holiday of eid—al fitr. over the past week, previous ceasefires haven't held, with more fighting between sudan's army led by abdel fattah al—burhan — and the paramilitary rapid support forces led by mohamed hamdan dagalo. this was the capital khartoum, earlier — fighting took place across the city. the un says more than 400 people have now been killed in the fighting.

we go live now to kalkidan yibetal who is monitoring the situation from the ethiopian capital, addis ababa. good to have you with us. we heard earlier from the general for the first time since the fighting began. what was his message? he statements came amid the — what was his message? he statements came amid the hope _ what was his message? he statements came amid the hope that _ what was his message? he statements came amid the hope that this _ what was his message? he statements came amid the hope that this is - came amid the hope that this is cease—fire could hold. as you say, that didn't happen because we've been hearing reports of continued fighting and airstrikes. he had been in his message adamant in his statement that he doesn't want to negotiate with what he called rebels, referring to the rapid support for us. he said they are allowing the 72 hour window of cease—fire or a truce. to alter or

mark the holiday and also to allow humanitarian aid and possibly the evacuation of civilians that are trapped in conflict zones. it seems that both parties have agreed and announced that they are observing this three—day day truce. but in reality, what we're seeing is a continuation of the fighting. talking about contradictory reports on the ground, we've also heard reports of our sf fighters essentially embedding in civilian homes. just paint a picture for us of what is going on on the ground. on friday, on the holiday which would have been a day for festivities and families to gather and celebrate, what happened in the capital of khartoum was the fighting is still going on and reports indicate there had been done and

also air strikes but also attempts or efforts by the army to go on the ground looking for the rss fighters and the fighters were aware so looks like they were embedded in residential areas with them all this indicates that it's likely to be a traumatic experience for the civilians they are because this fighting is happening in crowded urban areas. so many millions of people are now facing uncertainties and also this very rapidly escalating an ever present violence. we know that other countries in the region are closely watching on and fearful of a ripple effect. but more broadly, what could the global impact of this escalating conflict be? , . ., . impact of this escalating conflict

was upheld and has now resigned but thinks the inquiry that finished him off was flawed. is this a stitch up? look, i wouldn't describe it that way. i resigned from cabinet today because i said i would if there was any adverse finding from this inquiry. and i'm true to my word, politicians should be. but i do think it sets a very dangerous precedent. if you look at the tolley report, it dismissed almost all of the claims against me. it found i'd never once in four and a half years lost my temper, swore and shouted anything of that nature. but it also highlighted maybe two or three instances where i'd been, what they described as unintentionally abrasive. so what is in adam tolley casey's reports? the senior lawyer says dominic raab acted in a way which was intimidating in the sense of unreasonably and persistently aggressive conduct. it also involved an abuse or misuse of power in a way that undermines

or humiliates, adding... mr tolley also says... around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. the first glimpse it's a typical training session for the academy kicks under eights. but these bromsgrove boys are wearing kit made completely from recycled materials. right at the start, there weren't any great solutions out there. but yes, actually now to get to the day where we can see these these [ads running around, it's just fantastic. and it's notjust the clothing. take the average kit bag and there's plastic everywhere.

the water bottles, shin pads, the bibs are made of polyester, the cones. this wooden handle is because the plastic original one broke. even the bags themselves, they're made of plastic. birmingham county, fa have already won awards for their green initiatives on plastic. with 5200 clubs and 80,000 players, they can make a big difference over time that the message is starting to get through and people see the benefits now in obviously making the game more sustainable. long journeys start with small steps. you're live with bbc news. to germany now — where representatives from 50 countries have been meeting to discuss how they can give ukraine more support. the us defence secretary, lloyd austin, says more tanks will arrive ahead of schedule, to help train ukrainian forces. the latest package includes ammunition for himars rocket systems, long—range artillery, and anti—armour weapons. our sumi somaskanda dives

more into the latest. john kirby, is the communications coordinatorfor the wh national security council. good to see you. i want to start with and announcements we saw from the defence department saying the abrams tanks that the us has promised to deliver to ukraine, they will get to the battlefield by this fall. that is earlier than expected. do you think these tanks are going to be enough to counter offensives from russia? we're also providing hundreds of other armoured vehicles and we're providing what we call combined arms training for ukrainian battalions outside the country to get them ready for the fighting that we expect and that they expect they will be doing in the weeks and months ahead. it is notjust abrams tanks, they will get there too the year year but we're also already taking possession, ukrainians are of leopard tags that are produced by germany and other nations, provider

they are leopard tags. many different types of armoured vehicles, notjust from the united states but around the world —— tanks. it's a concerted effort to get into ukrainian hands the full scope of capabilities we think they will need in months for the armoured tanks and vehicles or urges one and air defence, artillery and of course ammunition is a key need for ukrainian forces. secretary of defense lloyd austin met with international defense chiefs in germany and discussed the leaked pentagon documents that exposed some important information about ukraine. let's listen. as i've discussed this issue with our allies— as i've discussed this issue with our allies and partners i've been struck_ our allies and partners i've been struck by— our allies and partners i've been struck by your solidarity and your commitment to reject efforts to divide _ commitment to reject efforts to divide us — commitment to reject efforts to divide us. and we will not let anything _ divide us. and we will not let anything fracture our learning. doesn't — anything fracture our learning. doesn't sound like it is has divided our allies—

nuclear capabilities will be top of the agenda. and russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov will head to new york to discuss the ukraine black sea grain export deal with un secretary—general. there are questions around whether that deal will continue. live now to ishaan tharoor from the washington post. thank you for taking the time in joining us. thank you for taking the time injoining us. ishaan — south korea's president heads to the us, in light of recent leaks, how do we expect that visit to unfold ? the good to be with you. those leaks have been deeply embarrassing for the president. they created a bit of a domestic incident in seoul and his opposition on the left are hammering him for playing into a construct

where the us called so many shots and also has his regime of surveillance within the country. at the same time, president is desperate for new security assurances from the us over north korea for that north korea is going to figure quite significantly into discussions and the messaging that comes out in the submit ofjoe biden. we would expect certain statements to surround also the us reinforcing, updating perhaps its commitment to north korea to maintain a specifically nuclear deterrent in south korea as it faces a constant sabre rattling by north korea. fin a constant sabre rattling by north korea. ., ,., a constant sabre rattling by north korea. ., ., , ., korea. on that point with regards to north korea — korea. on that point with regards to north korea upping _ korea. on that point with regards to north korea upping its— korea. on that point with regards to north korea upping its nuclear - north korea upping its nuclear arsenal, how far do you think the us might go on that in terms of statements, accords, reassurances to south korea and the global

talking visits, the fact we've got the russian —— survey led off next week. what do you insist paid, at the security council. it can be quite feisty. you've already had us officials of dues referred to roger as the rotating security council as an april fools joke. there are many members of the security council who view russia as a nation that is currently waging a war of aggression. and carrying out war crimes and potentially a whole number of violations of the un charter. at the same time this is how the un security council works. it is a rotating system and lavrov is coming for that the bulk of his allegations we receive visits from the us, no matter other sections

that are in place on russia. we can expect some quite testy exchanges, the russians will apparently hold a session in the security council, supposedly dispelling what they believe is misinformation about ukraine. you can imagine with some of the responses may be. potentially testy exchanges _ of the responses may be. potentially testy exchanges there _ of the responses may be. potentially testy exchanges there for _ of the responses may be. potentially testy exchanges there for the - of the responses may be. potentially testy exchanges there for the at - of the responses may be. potentially testy exchanges there for the at the | testy exchanges there for the at the same time we've got this conversation about the ukraine grain deal which is set to expire, it's been important for so many people around the world. do you think we could see any movement on that? this will be the could see any movement on that? try 3 will be the subject of a meeting between lavrov and us secretary general antonio guterres. the russians have theoretically, because this deal has to be renewed periodically the russians keep using this moment of renewal to try to extract further concessions. we expect them to raise the fact that they are own experts, their fertiliser and shipments are being stifled by sanctions and they will

want to leverage their control over the un process to get some concessions. it's unclear whether that will happen but it be another source of friction next week. ishaan tharoor on — source of friction next week. ishaan tharoor on the _ source of friction next week. ishaan tharoor on the washington - source of friction next week. ishaan tharoor on the washington post. i tharoor on the washington post. great to talk to you. live pictures from outside the supreme court. the supreme court in washington, where we're expecting a decision by the us supreme court on whether a widely used abortion pill can keep being sold at any minute. bbc will continue to follow the developments out of the court and keep you posted as a decision is made. thanks for watching. i'm helena humphrey in washingtonstay with us here on bbc news.

hello. a beautiful day on friday across scotland and northern ireland — quite warm, too. the coming days, however, are going to be pretty chilly in the north. a cold wind will set in even some wintry showers to come across the scottish hills, maybe even the pennines. here's the forecast for the short term — outbreaks of rain across parts of northern england and eventually reaching northern ireland by the early hours of saturday morning. some clear spells overnight, too, in scotland and the south of the country. that does mean a touch of frost, especially outside of town. but for most of us, around 5—6 degrees tonight. let's pick up on that rain in the north — you can see showers in northern england. that weather front reaching the southern uplands by lunchtime

or so and certainly looking quite wet there in northern ireland, but also showers clustered in the south—west of the country. so these areas will be pretty chilly, 10—12 degrees, the south—west, northern ireland, the south of scotland, but where the sun does pop out briefly, i think on saturday, maybe 13—15 degrees. now, talking about colder weather, there's that chilly atmosphere spreading in from the north on a east, north—easterly, so that change really starts to happen on sunday. in the north, frequent showers, really strong winds up to gale force, increasingly falling as wintry across the hills, and then elsewhere it's a real mixed bag, even a crack of thunder here and there. the temperatures on sunday will struggle again in the north — 7—8 degrees, 12 degrees expected in liverpool in the south, maybe a couple of degrees high. but the winds will be strong everywhere, so we really will start to feel that chill. and then, sunday into monday, we'll see even stronger winds and colder air spreading into parts of scotland. notice the wintry showers there across the hills spreading further southwards and really chilly along that north sea coast.

and then elsewhere, i think a mixture of sunny spells and showers. so the temperatures really disappointing on monday — six in aberdeen, eight in birmingham, maybejust about double figures there for cardiff and for london where showers are expected. and that chilly atmosphere spreads right across the uk and into the continent, into scandinavia as well on tuesday. warmer weather will reach us, but not until later next week. so, here's the outlook for this weekend. chilly mixed bag on the way, that chilly air relatively for the time of the year is with us until wednesday, then from thursday, should warm up. bye— bye.
