the man originally guilty. even when the man originally accused back in the 19905 and cleared at leeds crown court was found not guilty, northumbria police insisted at the time that there was nothing wrong with their investigation and it had been carried out properly. spring forward and you had sharon henderson, nikki's mum, overwhelmed with grief. she never gave up and kept campaigning. she kept pushing that case along and reminding everybody ca5e along and reminding everybody that the death of her daughter was still unsolved. the biggest advance 5till unsolved. the biggest advance of this whole ca5e 5till unsolved. the biggest advance of this whole case was developments in dna techniques which was around in dna techniques which was around in the �*905 and early century but has got better and better as time has got better and better as time has gone on. it was the dna evidence of david boyd on nikki allan's clothing that eventually approved the overwhelming evidence against

him in court. when that guilty verdict was said in court this afternoon after less than two hours of deliberation by the jury, there was uproar in the courtroom. back in 1993 the uproar was because the family hadn't got a guilty verdict. the uproar today was because the family finally got a guilty verdict and knew who killed her. the police came to the courts to calm things down and as for david boyd, he will be sentenced at a later date in a few weeks' time. he will undoubtedly go to prison for a long time because he thought he got away with it for three decades but when the police came knocking in 2018, they had the evidence against him and now he has been convicted. in terms of hearing from the in terms of hearing from the family, in terms of hearing from the family, in terms of hearing from the family, i assume we haven't had a statement. what have they said over the years? to be fair to sharon, she has never

given up, she visited the graveside. she couldn't go into the building where her daughter's body was found all those years ago. some years later, it was changed into a bar and restaurant and she went in and try to come to terms with it. it was an upsetting experience, she was overcome with grief to be in the building. to see sharon coming down the stairs in the last half an hour, herface the stairs in the last half an hour, her face was red, the stairs in the last half an hour, herface was red, she had been crying, she was overwhelmed, as you would expect. we may hearfrom her before the end of the day, she may give a statement. but you saw her in that piece we ran a few moments ago about her memories of that time, but i am sure today it is just the emotional wave of it all, and her sister, nikki's sister was talking about how relieved they are just as

sunak�*s official spokesperson said suna k�*s official spokesperson said the sunak�*s official spokesperson said the prime minister was disappointed at the decision, arguing the values and freedoms president zelensky and the people of ukraine were fighting for when not political but fundamental. it has rotted support across different parties, keir starmer also saying president zelensky should have the right to address the contest. borisjohnson has also agreed with that. there is growing pressure on them to change its decision. 0ne growing pressure on them to change its decision. one example that has been cited by the government in this case, is that last year the song contest decided not to allow russia to take part in the competition. that has been cited as an example where the contest has made a decision which number ten has described fundamental rather than

was nothing remarkable whatsoever. it was when we took a closer look and found out how far away it was that we could compute the absolute brightness of it, and then we were just blown away. we had no instant explanation as to what could have caused it, and so we had to get our thinking caps on. we caused it, and so we had to get our thinking caps on— thinking caps on. we are “ust showin: thinking caps on. we are “ust showing _ thinking caps on. we are “ust showing our viewers i thinking caps on. we are “ust showing our viewers thati thinking caps on. we are just i showing our viewers that black and white imagery. just explain in real terms what is happening, because it is hard to work out from the imagery, which you said was disappointing. what is happening? so, to put it into very simple terms, the larger something is, the more mass it has, the bigger the gravity. if you drop something in that gravitational field, energy

will be released, and what we think has happened here is all that this gas that is falling into the blackall is illuminating, it is going in a hot blue colour at about two times the temperature of the sun. it is illuminating a cloud of gas, and that is the illumination of this cloud of gas you are seeing in that image. that image is actually three years compressed down into a few seconds. fin three years compressed down into a few seconds-— few seconds. on that point, whilst we seak, few seconds. on that point, whilst we speak. i— few seconds. on that point, whilst we speak. i will— few seconds. on that point, whilst we speak, i will put _ few seconds. on that point, whilst we speak, i will put onto - few seconds. on that point, whilst we speak, i will put onto our i we speak, i will put onto our screens the images we normally use when we are talking about things like this. to illustrate what we are talking about. in terms of that explosion, the fires, twice the heat of the sun was how long to last for?

so, it actually took over one year to rise to the brightest point, and ever since then, it has been slowly decaying. but it is still visible to our telescopes, and to relatively moderate sized telescopes, and should be visible in more sensitive and larger telescopes for years to come. unless something happens, these are unpredictable, so potentially it could fade away much faster, or it could get brighter again. we don't know. can faster, or it could get brighter again. we don't know.- faster, or it could get brighter again. we don't know. can we learn from this, from _ again. we don't know. can we learn from this, from capturing _ again. we don't know. can we learn from this, from capturing what i again. we don't know. can we learn from this, from capturing what you | from this, from capturing what you did? what can we learn you didn't know? it did? what can we learn you didn't know? , , did? what can we learn you didn't know? , ., ._ did? what can we learn you didn't know? , ., ., , , ., . ~' did? what can we learn you didn't know? ,., , ., , know? it is a new way black holes crow. we know? it is a new way black holes grow. we thought _ know? it is a new way black holes grow. we thought we _ know? it is a new way black holes grow. we thought we knew i know? it is a new way black holes grow. we thought we knew black| know? it is a new way black holes i grow. we thought we knew black holes grew mostly by a steady swallowing of gas from their surroundings, or

by merging with other black holes, or occasionally by swallowing stars. but we had never seen them swallowing gas in an explosive way. and the explosive part of it actually might impact the galaxy around the black hole, and so this could be one of the ways black holes could be one of the ways black holes could sculpt the inner parts of their galaxies, the very central part of their galaxies. did their galaxies, the very central part of their galaxies.- their galaxies, the very central part of their galaxies. did you “ust siml part of their galaxies. did you “ust simply stumble i part of their galaxies. did you “ust simply stumble across i part of their galaxies. did you “ust simply stumble across this i part of their galaxies. did you 'ust simply stumble across this orb part of their galaxies. did you just simply stumble across this or did | simply stumble across this or did you have some sort of prior knowledge that this was an area you should be exploring? it knowledge that this was an area you should be exploring?— should be exploring? it was actually searched for — should be exploring? it was actually searched for by, _ should be exploring? it was actually searched for by, twice, _ should be exploring? it was actually searched for by, twice, by _ should be exploring? it was actually searched for by, twice, by my - searched for by, twice, by my colleagues, who separately will looking for different types of

streets in so many different parts. we will keep an eye on it and across—the—board a story in the us. all coming up on bbc news. the recount is hours away. i think for most of those it is not looking for bad at all. i think saturday will particularly be a nice day. some warm sunshine across the uk. but today is a bit hit and miss, with a weather front crossing the southeast, central and southern parts of england, for cloud and a bit of rain, and many eastern parts of the country shrouded with cloud today. it is cool on the north sea coast in some spots, only 10 degrees. the best of the weather will be in the sunnier west, in northern ireland, wales, western parts of scotland, in some spots temperatures could nudge up to 20 celsius. this evening, and overnight, it will be dry for most of us,

clear skies across many northern and western areas of the uk, and this is where the sunshine will greeters early on saturday morning. some beautiful weather here out towards the west, the coast of wales, lancashire and the lake district. scotland, but many central and eastern starts will start cloudy and the sunshine will develop through the morning into the afternoon. by the time we get to the middle of the afternoon, for most of us, it is a case of sunny skies. temperatures of 20 in cardiff, 20 in london, cardiff and glasgow. beautiful day. the uv index is high, the sun is very strong this time of the year. so take it easy outdoors. the forecast for saturday night into sunday shows a change in our weather, with a cold front approaching the west of the uk that introduces thicker cloud and some old breaks of rain. so that sun we will have had

on saturday will be replaced by cooler, cloudier more showery conditions in many western and north—western areas. that sunny warm weather will contract was the south—east. it could be as high as 22 degrees in london on sunday, and 20 degrees into parts of yorkshire also. next week, guess what, it looks as though cooler weather will return, so that brief dose of summer like, almost a summer like weather won't last. if we look at the temperatures as we head into monday, tuesday, wednesday, back into the teens. but at least, it looks as though it will be generally dry.

live from london. this is bbc news. pakistan's former prime minister imran khan is released from custody — what next for the country, after days of violent unrest? a man in the uk who evaded justice for 30 years has been found guilty of murdering seven—year—old schoolgirl nikki allen. thousands of migrants gather near the us border after new rules are brought in. hello and welcome to bbc news. we start in pakistan, where the former prime minister imran khan has been freed from custody, a day after the supreme court ruled his dramatic arrest on corruption charges was illegal. imran khan was released on protected

bail, meaning he can not be
