live from washington. this is bbc news. a day after he was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation in a civil case, donald trump appears on television in a live question and answer session and hits back against the verdict and his accuser. the former president continually repeated his false claims of election interference and said he would consider pardoning some of those convicted for their actions in 6january. republican congressman george santos pleads not guilty to 13 federal charges and says he'll run for re—election. democrats and even some republicans have called on him to resign.

hello, i'm sumi somaskanda, thank you forjoining us. a day after he was found liable by a new yorkjury for sexual abuse and defamation, donald trump has faced questions in a live town hall in the us state of new hampshire. the frontrunner for the 2024 republican nomination for the presidency demeaned his accuser, ejean carroll, reiterated his position the 2020 election was rigged, and if he returned to the white house, mr trump said would he pardon many of his supporters who have been jailed for taking part in the six january attack on the us capitol. just after the town hall, i spoke to hannah muldavin, who was the spokesperson for the house six january committee, and bryan lanza, who served as director of communications for mr trump's presidential transition team. it is great to see you both. right off the back i want to hear what you thought of what you saw. i hear what you thought of what ou saw. . , hear what you thought of what ousaw. ,, you saw. i was the spokesperson from the 6 _

you saw. i was the spokesperson from the 6 january _ you saw. i was the spokesperson from the 6 january select - from the 6january select committee where over a year and a half we interviewed over 1000 witnesses, hundreds of thousands of pages of documents, and we came to the conclusion that we should refer donald trump on four counts to the doj, two of which were inciting an insurrection anything was conspiracy to make anything was conspiracy to make a false statement and i think what you saw tonight, which is one of the first times we have heard from the former president since our investigation where we showed our evidence to the american people, is that he is still lying. as you mentioned, he said, continuously, that the election was stolen and read and he repeated those claims. they had to take notes because there were a few things he said. he said 6january was an unbelievable and beautiful day, he said he would pardon 6 january rioters, he said he doesn't know mike pence an apology, that mike pence should have written some of the electoral votes to the states, this is only a few days after four proud boys were convinced that by a federal court for

seditious conspiracy, a charge thatis seditious conspiracy, a charge that is not lightly brought. so i think when we look at what has happened today i'm nervous about our democracy if donald trump is re—elected. so about our democracy if donald trump is re-elected._ trump is re-elected. so we're auoin to trump is re-elected. so we're going to talk _ trump is re-elected. so we're going to talk a _ trump is re-elected. so we're going to talk a little _ trump is re-elected. so we're going to talk a little bit - trump is re-elected. so we're going to talk a little bit more | going to talk a little bit more about 6january, i want to get the other take about this prior —— town hall, what did you think? i -- town hall, what did you think? ~' -- town hall, what did you think? ~ ., , ., ., think? i think it was a win for the former— think? i think it was a win for the former president, - think? i think it was a win for the former president, he - think? i think it was a win forl the former president, he went on a _ the former president, he went on a platform he had appeared from. — on a platform he had appeared from, don't think he had been on cnn — from, don't think he had been on cnn since 2016, thought he handled — on cnn since 2016, thought he handled the host, the moderator relatively— handled the host, the moderator relatively well, answer the questions, whether they are factual— questions, whether they are factual or un— factual, he showed _ factual or un— factual, he showed up and the lies dead, answer— showed up and the lies dead, answer questions and will walk away— answer questions and will walk away with the general view he continues to be his own individual man and he went into what _ individual man and he went into what was — individual man and he went into what was supposed to be a hostile _ what was supposed to be a hostile environment and he survived _ hostile environment and he survived. i suspect this town hnil— survived. i suspect this town hall will— survived. i suspect this town hall will only make him stronger going forward. the former president _ stronger going forward. tie: former president was asked about his role in the 6january

attack and this is what he said. "iwasn't involved in it very much, i was asked to come and widowmaker speech, and made and widowmaker speech, and made a speech, i said will peacefully, what patriotically, many different things, in fact i brought a list, we can go sentence after sentence after sentence after sentence after sentence and things like that.

country, the fact that he is still talking about there being a rigged election is dangerous to our democracy and i think that we cannot let him get near that we cannot let him get near that white house again. the town hall— that white house again. the town hall comes _ that white house again. the town hall comes a _ that white house again. the town hall comes a day after the former president was found liable of sexual abuse and defamation in a case brought by writer ejean carroll in new york. he was asked about it and saidthis. —— and said this. this is what hannah and brian made of those comments. i’m this is what hannah and brian made of those comments. i'm not surprised- — made of those comments. i'm not surprised- thev — made of those comments. i'm not surprised. they don't _ made of those comments. i'm not surprised. they don't think - surprised. they don't think anyone would expect them to say anything different. fake news is something that he coined. i think the american people are tired of this. this is one of many ways he is tied up in the courts right now. i'm not surprised, because it is also consistent with the remarks he has made about women over the

course of many years. i'm tired of this. the american people are tired of it. and i don't think anyone is surprised at the remarks he makes tonight. bryan, what do you think, he got a lot of applause from the people in the crowd when he said you can't get a fair trial in washington, dc or new york? is not wrong. the reality is our — is not wrong. the reality is ourjudicial court system has our judicial court system has been — ourjudicial court system has been corrupted by politics for the last— been corrupted by politics for the last ten years. what you saw — the last ten years. what you saw in — the last ten years. what you saw in manhattan, first of all, the manhattan da stretching the law to _ the manhattan da stretching the law to a — the manhattan da stretching the law to a felony to try to charge _ law to a felony to try to charge trump is oestrogen people _ charge trump is oestrogen people saw through that, that is a symbol of a judicial system _ is a symbol of a judicial system that is more and more partisan _ system that is more and more partisan. in this case, you know, _ partisan. in this case, you know. the _ partisan. in this case, you know, the laws were changed to -ive know, the laws were changed to give ms — know, the laws were changed to give ms carroll the right to sue — give ms carroll the right to sue president trump about 30 years— sue president trump about 30 years ago. he said litigated, he will— years ago. he said litigated, he will have a better shot at it, he will have a better shot at it. the — he will have a better shot at it, the reality is new york is 90%—

here, which are a lot of the investigation that president trump is tied up in now. i think one of those is the doj has a special counsel for 6 january, we know mike pence did talk to them, so i think hopefully and hopefully yesterday was the first sign of justice and many of these investigations, we will continue to see that. fin continue to see that. on foreign _ continue to see that. on foreign policy, _ continue to see that. on foreign policy, mr trump was asked specifically whether he wants ukraine to win the war. this is what he said. this was the reaction. bryan, what you make of that, he said he would have this war ended in 24 he would have this war ended in 2a hours. i he would have this war ended in 24 hours. ~' ., 24 hours. i think he would, oddly enough. _ 24 hours. i think he would, oddly enough. he - 24 hours. i think he would, oddly enough. he has - 24 hours. i think he would, oddly enough. he has his l 24 hours. i think he would, - oddly enough. he has his flaws, very much— oddly enough. he has his flaws, very much so, but i think you would — very much so, but i think you would resolve this war relatively fast. ukraine, you have — relatively fast. ukraine, you have to _ relatively fast. ukraine, you have to realise, you have spent billions — have to realise, you have spent billions of — have to realise, you have spent billions of dollars propping up this military conflict in

it, when pressed, if donald trump thought ukraine should win the war, he couldn't answer that. that is frightening. i think that when we look at the difference between donald trump and summer likejoe biden is the difference between democracy and freedom and i think we should make it very clear that we support ukraine and we want ukraine to win the war. this is an issue that's going to trickle and has trickled down to other republicans as well. if this is going to be the leader, the nominee for the republicans and in its presidential race, he should be held accountable for that an ethical americans to be very concerned about not only democracy here but democracy abroad if donald trump is at the helm. mil abroad if donald trump is at the helm-— the helm. all right. that is all we have _ the helm. all right. that is all we have time _ the helm. all right. that is all we have time for. - the helm. all right. that is l all we have time for. hannah and bryan thank you for your insights in helping to break down this hour—long town hall session. i'm sure we will have you back in the programme soon. thank you and good evening to you. thank you.—

after that town hall with former president trump, president biden — who recently announced his campaign for reelection — sent out his response on twitter. the controversial congressman george santos has pleaded not guilty to a 13—count federal indictment. the charges against him include money laundering and the theft of public funds. santos turned himself into authorities in new york earlier in the day. before we get into the details of the case, let's step back and look at who is george santos is. the 34—year—old republican was elected in last year's mid—term elections to new york's third congressional district. that's usually a safely democratic seat. he billed himself as "the full embodiment of the american dream," citing that his parents are brazilian immigrants. investigations revealed that santos had lied about various aspects of his background and career. mr santos has since admitted that he embellished his biography to appeal to his constituents. this is what he said outside court earlier

prosecution, or evenjail time. this comes as more than 27,000 migrants are in border patrol custody, despite the agency only having capacity for several thousand. for ineligible migrants who crossed the border, they have to go through a more detailed interview to avoid deportation or even a five—year banishment. migrants who repeatedly cross the border after being deported could face criminal prosecution, or evenjail time. this comes as more than 27,000 migrants are in border patrol custody, despite the agency only having capacity for several thousand. earlier i spoke to our correspondent sophie long. she is in texas tracking the latest. sophie, it is good to see you. what does this latest set of policies mean for migrants who are trying to come to the us? as you point out, title 42 will be lifted midnight on thursday. there will be a new system in place. some people are saying it might be even harsher. i think here in border communities like el paso, there is a huge amount of confusion. people fearing there

would be a surge in numbers of people crossing. that is already happening. why? a lot of people deported under title 42 have been in mexico on the other side of the border for many months, some of them even years. they are desperate to start their new lives in the united states so i think in places like el paso and other border communities, there is a huge amount of confusion and there are rumours and many get their news by word—of—mouth, when there are rumoured changes to policy. i'm in downtown el paso at the moment where many migrants have congregated and have been sleeping on the streets for many months. you can see they are not many people on the ground at the moment. flyers being handed out to urge them to go to the nearest centre and hand themselves in. you know, there is still expected to be a big influx, surge in migrants, starting tomorrow after title 42 is expected to be lifted. how are the authorities preparing? we were given a tour of a centre, what they call

the welcome centre a bit earlier today in el paso. taking several measures. we spoke to the mayor of el paso who says he's been in touch with the white house and federal authorities two or three times a day and he says they are ready. what they don't know is what will happen. what they do know is that people will continue to come so several measures are in place, they have thousands of federal agents who are here to help support the efforts. they have better transportation systems, buses to airports, to help people to enter and they say they are doing everything they can to prepare for whatever happens next. as we approach the expiration of title 42, i was able to speak wit the democratic senator of colorado, senator michael bennett earlier today, let's have a look. senator, thank you forjoining us. title 42 is set to expire tomorrow. is it the right time to lift this policy? i don't think we should be lifting it now or for months and months.

i don't think the biden administration has had an adequate plan to assure the american people that our border is secure. and they have a right to make sure the border of the united states is secure. in fairness, there is a set of issues that predates this administration. i think it would be really useful for democrats and republicans to come together to support the administration in their efforts to try and secure the border but is not the right time to lift the policy because we don't have an adequate plan. what should the biden administration do, what plan should be in place? a plan in place should be one that meets the needs of this country when it comes to immigration. in 2013, i was part of the gang of eight that read the immigration bill that passed the senate with 68 votes. that will add a pathway to citizenship for the 11

million people undocumented and the most progressive dreamer act ever written, it dealt with the serious issue that we are facing right now i'm not having enough agricultural workers in the united states of america and also $40 billion on border security. the biden administration can't do all of that on their own. they need congress to help them do that. i hope, instead of trying to score political points, we are actually going to come together to try to develop something that looks a lot like the plan we passed. you hope they will come together. is there room right now with the current senate for a compromise on immigration? it's very difficult. there are people who would rather try to pound the bruise on immigration than solve the issue. we need to solve this. if you look at the history of the united states, the last 150 years or so, every year we have had 3% gdp growth on average. in some years, its higher, some years, lower. and two—thirds of that

has been organic. a third of that is immigration so unless we want to cut off the kind of economic growth with historically had, we need to fix our immigration problem. unless we want to have our farms and ranches move south of the border to mexico, we need to fix our immigration system. unless we are prepared to say the people who came here, the dreamers, that they will be forever in an abyss. we need to fix it we need to fix it when it comes to actually securing the border that we have with mexico. we had to do a betterjob. i want to move onto the debt limit negotiations which are important as well. you said speaker mccarthy is holding the economy hostage. there was no progress made in the meeting congressional leaders had with president biden. there is going to have to be a compromise. what concessions do you think democrats, the biden administration should make when it comes to spending? what i would ask

is for people, after this deal is cut, because there will be some deal cut. i think there will be. in the end, i think there will be. i hope people make a judgement about whether it was worth threatening the full faith and credt of the united states over this deal. i hope people will ask whether it was worth having people's interest rates, their car payment rates, what they are paying for their student loans, the risk of all that going up. and you asked the question, in a very important way which is what should the concession be to the republican party on debt. there is the question i had. why a guy like kevin mccarthy who has supported tax cuts for the rich, who supported, which he didn't pay for, who blew up the deficit with george bush, every president from george bush to donald trump. now has standing to say

is going to write the physical —— fiscal rules in this country. that's part of problem we have here. it's not about fiscal responsibility, it's about fiscal irresponsibility and the inability of kevin mccarthy and that wing of the republican party to understand the damage they are doing to working people. i was asking what concessions democrats might have to make. what do you think this deal will have? i'm not sure. we should not be threatening to destroy the full faith and credit of the united states. we shouldn't be doing it. and i don't think we should capitulate about. i don't think should give into that, especially when the people who are doing it are people who defict spend and deficit spend, just to give the richest people in america tax cuts. american people can use some help on what kevin mccarthy and his

crew are suggesting is just going to make lives more difficult. as an american citizen i would say we should not put in jeopardy the full faith and credit of the united states. this is idiotic, it's a sultan for that wound, the chinese are probably laughing all the way to the bank because of what we are doing in this place. let's get our act together, let's have an appropriate negotiation and i would like to have a fight over what the american people really care about which is that when we are borrowing money we are actually investing money we are actually investing money in them, not in the wealthiest people in the united states. artificial intelligence, you been talking about a lot. the capability of technologies like chatgpt has raised concerns among lawmakers and tax experts. — tech experts. what action should congress take? i don't think we should take an immediate action. i don't. one thing we shouldn't do is panic.

there's going to be good and bad with artificial intelligence. two things we could do would be to follow a recommendation that was made by eric schmidt to set up a task force so that the united states and the federal government can determine whether as we adopt ai, we are doing it consistent with our civil liberties, consistent with civil rights, consistent with commitment to privacy. as important or more important than that, we need to create a new federal agency in washington like the fda, like the fcc, to regulate the biggest tech companies in america which have gone completely unregulated to this point and ai is going to be a big part of the discussion. last question on this. we spoke to the godfather of ai, jeffrey hinton, who spoke about the dangers, especially of authoritarian leaders using ai in the runway china developing this style technology even if it's regulated here. what think of that?

i think we are in an competition with authoritarianism and there is, you know, we said, american politicians and the democratic party for many years said the internet is going to democratise china. the internet is going to create a liberal society in china and of course, the opposite has happened. they've used the internet to secure their totalitarian state in ways george orwell could never have imagined and the stuff they've already used which you couldn't have imagined, i telecommunications equipment, they put in place to be able to see whether people notjust in beijing but in africa are having a bad day. when you put al on top of that, totalitarian, in human history, has never seen the kind of capability that xi jinping and putin are going to have at their disposal. it should be a real worry. 0ur concern in addition to worrying about that should be making sure that we are using ai in a way that is consistent with our fundamental values. thank you so much for the conversation.

thanks for having me, i'd appreciate it. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. it's quite tricky trying to plan your day ahead with the weather at the moment. take, for example, wednesday morning, glorious start in st albans in hertfordshire. but by the middle of the afternoon there were plenty of shower clouds, and many skies overhead look like this, quite threatening at times. in fact, if we take a look at the radar from wednesday, there were quite a widespread bunch of showers that moved in from the west, and some of these turned quite heavy with rumbles of thunder mixed in there as well. in fact, we're not even halfway through the month of may and some counties across england have already seen above average rainfall. the exception, highland scotland, where there's not been that much rain so far this month. but low pressure still

dominates the story as we go through thursday. that means further showers to come. high pressure is trying to build in from the west and it will do so for the first half of the weekend at least. so, for thursday we'll start off with some low cloud around, but largely fine and dry. but it won't be long before the sunshine comes through and we start to see some warmth building and showers turn quite widespread into the afternoon once again. couple that with some low grey cloud temperatures in the far north and east of scotland, disappointing 10—13 degrees. highest values, perhaps around 17 or 18 degrees. dodge the showers. keep the sun. it'll feel relatively pleasant. now, high pressure is building in from the west. but to complicate the story, this little weather front here is going to produce more cloud coming in off the north sea with a cool northeasterly breeze. and we'll see some showers

running down through lincolnshire, east anglia, further south and west through the day. so west will be best for the sunshine and the warmth. on friday, we could see temperatures peaking at around 18, possibly 19 degrees. but where that low gray cloud continues to roll in off the north sea, only highs of around 14 celsius. the high pressure then moves in for the start of the weekend. not a bad start, but already frontal systems pushing in from the northwest will start to bring a change from sunday onwards. so saturday, not a bad day and feeling pleasantly warm. but as we go through into next week, the showers are set to return and it will be just a little bit cooler than it should be for this time of year.
