been tried and convicted for what happened here onjanuary 6th. now including five of the leaders of the proud boys. there is now an active criminal investigation into donald trump's role day, which will make it more contentious still. the place where the mob stormed the capital is now bristling with barriers and new fences, but the institution itself is perhaps weaker than ever. and david's documentary proud boys: the battle forjanuary 6th is available to watch right now on the bbc iplayer. that's all from us tonight. faisal is here tomorrow. until then, goodnight.

what goes to the heart of this case? it's a victory for songwriting. had they won, it would have been the thin end of the wedge. you can go back to the beginning of music, when the monks were chanting. the thing before makes the next thing. you can take the beatles and said that they copied ray charles. you could go back that far. so they would have been the thin end of the wedge, had this been a victory. that been the thin end of the wedge, had this been a victory.— this been a victory. that is a good oint, this been a victory. that is a good point. matt- _ this been a victory. that is a good point. matt- i— this been a victory. that is a good point, matt. iwonder_ this been a victory. that is a good point, matt. i wonder what - this been a victory. that is a good point, matt. i wonder what you i

people hoping to get the best in—person view on the day are already camping in central london as rehearsals and final preparations take place in and around westminster abbey. here's our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. i don't have too much experience at pulling pints. one day, the pints will be being pulled for his coronation, but for now, william is heading the family support for his father. dropping into the dog and duck, a pub in london soho, and with catherine, thanking all those in the hospitality sector who will be working hard this weekend. they'd travelled there on the elizabeth line, the capital's newest transport link, which with the wider transport system, will be dealing with the large numbers who are expected to travel to london to watch saturday's ceremony. at westminster abbey, the king was spotted. he'd been meeting some of the choirboys who will be performing on saturday. and inside the abbey, the construction work is complete, the seats have all been set out in the nave and the bbc�*s

cameras have been rigged. the dean of westminster says the service will be spectacular. what you will see, frankly, will be jaw—dropping. the interesting business is whether you can get slightly under the visual and see some of the strength of the tradition. and, says the dean, the king and queen consort understand the symbolism. i know, because i have been close by in a number of rehearsals, just how important this is to them, deeply felt, deeply understood. there's going to be... there's going to be, as i say, a lot of pageant. there's going to be a lot of deep feeling as well. this is a sound check. the flags are out on the mall. there and along the route of the processions, the huge security plan is in place. as are the most dedicated of the royal fans. celebrations like this may not be for everyone, but for some, it's a moment not to be missed.

because it's part of our history, it bringsjoy to the country, - it's what puts great in great britain. - we started yesterday, and we'll be here through saturday night. by then, by saturday night, all the months of planning and preparation will be over. the final countdown to the coronation of a british monarch and his queen consort is well under way. nicholas witchell, bbc news. still to come a bit later in the programme: we'll have more on the coronation, including why south africans are worried about a diamond which features in saturday's ceremony. but first... around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. yorkshire traditions, the hills, the ramblers and now apparently, the alpacas. we started off with just a load of rescue animals,

and then one day i saw a couple of alpacas for sale on facebook that had done trekking before and thought, "wow, we're in the best location for it, so why not have a go, see what happens? " making up the two—legged contingent of this caravan across baildon moore, students from bradford college. it's fun. it's nice exercise, and it's a good experience. yes, i was nervous because it was i i wasn't comfortable around alpacas, but now i've got used to him. he's lovely. the family firm who run the walks also take the animals into care homes. it's not hard to see why. the alpacas are instantly friendly company. it was only an hour's stroll, but that was plenty of time for these students, some of whom have their own challenges to face, making memories to last a lifetime. you're live with bbc news. police in serbia say a boy who shot dead eight pupils and a security guard at his school

in the capital, belgrade, had planned the attack in detailfor a month. the 13—year—old suspect has been detained, along with his parents. 0ur europe correspondent, nick beake, has been following the tributes to those who died. quietly, from far and wide, a human tide of solidarity descended on vladislav ribnikar elementary, so many so shaken by the country's worst ever school shooting. well, this is a reflection of the trauma that's been inflicted on serbia. hundreds of school pupils from across the capital belgrade have come to this point to pay tribute, and for lots of them, they are the very same age as the victims from yesterday. i feel crushed, depressed, really sad. alex has a younger friend who survived the gun attack, an attack perpetrated by a fellow pupil. this should not be happening to a 13—year—old kid. he should not be grabbing a gun

and going into a school and shooting his friends. the 13—year—old suspect has been undergoing a mental health assessment. under serbian law, he's too young to face prosecution. sanya is a mum of two kids at a nearby school and explained the impact the shootings already had on her ten—year—old son. he saw the parentsjust standing in front of the school, and he talked to my husband and he told him, "dad, just imagine you're waiting for me in front of the school, and i'm not coming out." and that was, like... the police have been questioning the mum of the suspect and his dad, who legally owned both the guns used, but there's still no apparent motive for the carnage that has crushed this community. nick beake, bbc news, belgrade.

up up asingly popular. lots more on the bbc website on that story, but i want to turn to another story, but i want to turn to another story for you now. 3d printers are becoming increasingly popular. they are able to create all sorts of things, but one of the newest innovations is 3d—printed food. now a team of scientists backed by a company in singapore say they've come up with another 3d culinary first, as tim allman explains. printer buzzes. how do you like your fish? fried, poached, grilled? how about printed ? well, that's what's on offer at this laboratory in israel — what's claimed to be the first ever ready—to—cook 3d—printed fish fillet. the fish, the density is much lower. the flakiness is something that is much more easier to mimic. and with our patent—protected printing capabilities, we know how to 3d print exactly the same texture and 0k flakiness of a real fish. that is something that we already have the capability to date of printing.

they use animal cells cultivated and grown in a laboratory, which are then mixed with plant—based ingredients. then the printer does its work. the manufacturers say the process is clean and transparent and they don't use antibiotics. but there is one obvious question — what does it taste like? it's really tasty! i can feel almost the same experiment, experience, of the fish structure in my mouth. and also, i'm really amazed by the juiciness and also the kind of buttery feel in my mouth. for now, this business is pretty small, no more than a tiddler, you might say. but the team are ambitious and hope the 3d printed version may help preserve global fish stocks. potentially, it could make for quite a catch.

more now on the coronation. king charles will hold the biggest diamond in the world as part of the ceremony. but some south africans are calling for the star of africa, which is set in the royal sceptre, to be returned. emily brown has the story. the sceptre is the oldest symbol of royalty and is carried - in the sovereign's right hand. the largest diamond in the world, known as the star of africa, it is set in the royal sceptre, to be held by king charles at his coronation. the diamond weighs 530 carats. that's about 620g, roughly the same weight as a basketball. it was discovered in south africa in 1905 and presented to the british monarchy by the colonial government in the country, which was then under british rule. but as the diamond is in the limelight again, it's become part of a bigger conversation about returning artefacts that were gathered or taken during colonial times. some south africans are calling

for the diamond to be brought back. if he wants to be a recognised monarchy, a respected monarchy by the african people, it would be wise of him to return what was taken from us without our consent. others say they didn't feel that strongly about it. don't think it matters any more. things have changed, we are evolving. what mattered for them in the olden about being superior above all, based on being britain and whatnot, it doesn't matter any more. it was cut from the cullinan diamond, a 3,100—carat stone mind near pretoria. the sceptre lives with the crown jewels at the tower of london. it represents the sovereign's power and is associated with good governance. as is tradition, it will feature during the king's coronation and will be seen by millions across the globe.

lots more on the coronation across the weekend from the bbc, but for now, thanks for watching. hello there. high pressure has brought a lot of fine and settled weather over the last few days, but towards the end of this we and certainly the next few days on the weekend look more unsettled as low pressure takes over again. it will not rein all the time, but there will be some pretty heavy showers at times. friday is certainly one of those days of sunshine and showers. this feature has saturday's name on it. we will start friday off rather cloudy, scotland and northern ireland rather cloudy here. 0utbreaks ireland rather cloudy here. outbreaks of rain. england and wales will see sunshine break through, but i will set up a scattering of showers. some will be heavy and thundery. some areas might escape them altogether. 0ther thundery. some areas might escape them altogether. other areas might see plenty of showers throughout the whole day. temperature wise, not too bad, round 17—18. feeling quite pleasant in the sunshine, still

quite chilly along the north sea coasts of eastern scotland, where we continue with the low cloud. those showers ease down quite quickly during friday evening. friday night promises to be dry for many with clear spells, promises to be dry for many with clearspells, if promises to be dry for many with clear spells, if few mist and fog patches where we have some shelter, but across the south, signs of the next batch of rain moving in, and it was mild in the south. this rain will move northwards during the day on saturday, so the rain will be heavy towards the west country come into wales and the midlands. as the rain pushes north, it will be followed by showers. sunshine will be quite limited, unfortunately. further north, it looks like it will be bright. again, day of sunshine and showers. temperature wise, a degree or so down on what will happen friday afternoon, 15—17. and then for sunday, we could see this brief pump of high pressure, settling things down for england and we are. scotland and northern ireland will continue to see sunshine and showers, but it could be the sunday that might be the best

day of the weekend. there will still be the odd shower around, but with the odd spell of sunshine, the most of the showers will be across the northern half of the country for some temperatures respond, up to 19 degrees again in the warmest spot. mid—teens further north. that doesn't last as we head into the bank holiday monday. rain sweeps from west to east, followed by sunshine and showers once again. some of these will be on the heavy side. quite a mixed bag through the coronation weekend. saturday will see some rain for a time, sunday could be the best day of the weekend, but now it's a return to sunshine and showers on monday.
