twitter has a new chief executive. linda yaccarino is moving from nbc universal to the social media company. who is she..and why has elon musk hired her? we will be finding out. and the things people will do for their followers. this youtuber is facing up to 20 years in prison for crashing an aeroplane as part of an online stunt. but first, a controversial immigration policy in the us. title 42 has expired and officials are warning about a potential surge in migrants at the us—mexico border. here are some of the latest pictures from the us — mexico border — where large groups of people are waiting near the barbed wire. officials have said 10,000 people have made their way to the areas around the southern us border. president biden acknowledged earlier in the week that the situation, he said, may be chaotic in the coming days.

as for the policy itself — title 42 was the temporary law introduced by donald trump, which meant illegal migrants could be removed quickly. and it expired at midnight washington time. the policy made it easierfor the us to send people back to mexico, using the coronavirus pandemic as justification. live now to our correspondent sophie long who's in el paso in texas. sophie, good to see you there. i know you have been there for quite a while now. can you give us a description of what you are surrounded by, what the situation is there now? ~ , , ., there now? well, the streets of downtown _ there now? well, the streets of downtown el — there now? well, the streets of downtown el paso, _ there now? well, the streets of downtown el paso, which - there now? well, the streets of downtown el paso, which are i there now? well, the streets of i downtown el paso, which are just there now? well, the streets of. downtown el paso, which are just a stone's throw away from one of several border crossings, it is completely calm and very quiet. we certainly aren't seeing any of the chaotic seems that people had been fearing for anticipating. now we have heard from the mayor of el paso who has been speaking to reporters here this morning who said there has been a smooth transition from one

set of restrictions to the next. but, he also cautions that many of the people who have crossed the border in recent hours will still be in processing centres or in detention centres. so the situation could change. we will have to wait and see how it plays out. but even though the new set of instructions has only been in place for a matter of hours, there have already been court cases filed. one of them which may be relevant to what we are seeing on the streets here, there was a court in florida which issued a restraining order, preventing the biden administration from allowing people out of detention centres and onto the streets unless they have a court date first. my bet is difficult because the system, the whole immigration system in the united states is experiencing a massive backlog. so that may be one reason or one contribute her why the streets of el paso are so quiet at the moment. i should say that where i am standing here, at recent months, certainly the end of last year, most nights you would see hundreds of migrants who just crossed the border, sleeping on the

streets of el paso. there was a huge effort to prepare for the anticipated influx in the days leading up to this point before those people were clear. so are the moments at the streets of el paso is still very calm but as you will see from the pictures we have been showing our viewers, there are tens of thousands of people on the mexican side of the border who are waiting to come in. now there has been a lot of talk about the surge numbers there. if you speak to human rights activist they will say that those people are there as a result of title 42 having been deported or returned from the border, and they are forced to stay in mexico, not as are forced to stay in mexico, not as a result of 42 being lifted.- a result of 42 being lifted. sophie, we are a result of42 being lifted. sophie, we are going to — a result of42 being lifted. sophie, we are going to talk— a result of42 being lifted. sophie, we are going to talk to _ a result of42 being lifted. sophie, we are going to talk to our - we are going to talk to our correspondent on the other side of the border in a moment, but can you just stick us through the knots of boats, what is the difference between title 42 a with the situation is now? i between title 42 a with the situation is now?— between title 42 a with the situation is now? ~ ., situation is now? i think the main difference was _ situation is now? i think the main difference was title _ situation is now? i think the main difference was title 42 _ situation is now? i think the main difference was title 42 was - situation is now? i think the main difference was title 42 was a - situation is now? i think the main i difference was title 42 was a trump era policy that came into effect during the pandemic. it was a public health measure to keep coping out of

the country. it meant officials could immediately return people and say you're not coming on. now that has stopped. that will now have an interview at least, they will be turned away immediately. but along with the new restrictions or other rules which will make it harder, potentially, to seek asylum here. one of those is that they won't be able to seek asylum if they haven't already stopped that in a third country that they crashed through on the way to the us border. now that's another part of the restrictions. there's a huge amount of criticism. people like human rights activists are saying that it doesn't fit into with international law and people should be able to seek asylum in the united states no matter how they got there. that's the main difference, i think. officials now can'tjust turn people away immediately. they will not go through a processing system. they are expecting more and more people to do that, so they have got increased capacity at processing centres. they have shelters in towns like el paso and other border community. i think that's the main difference, that when you've got

republicans who say that lifting title 42 and the restrictions that went with it is like laying out a welcome mat for illegal immigrants, you've got people on the other side you've got people on the other side you are saying that the new restrictions are soaked off that they are even harder in terms of seeking asylum and being allowed to stay. {eek seeking asylum and being allowed to sta _ , seeking asylum and being allowed to sta . , ., ~ ,, , stay. 0k sophie, thank you. sophie loner el stay. 0k sophie, thank you. sophie longer el paso. _ sophie longer el paso. let's go now to our correspondent will grant who's in mexico city. will, is it fair to say that mexico is stuck in the middle of this a little bit because mark was a situation there? to little bit because mark was a situation there?— little bit because mark was a situation there? to an extent. i mean, situation there? to an extent. i mean. the _ situation there? to an extent. i mean, the mexican _ situation there? to an extent. i | mean, the mexican government situation there? to an extent. i i mean, the mexican government in particular— mean, the mexican government in particular doesn't really presents itself_ particular doesn't really presents itself as— particular doesn't really presents itself as a — particular doesn't really presents itself as a passive partner in all this _ itself as a passive partner in all this. rather, it has taken almost a very aggressive approach today by announcing a variety of measures. one is— announcing a variety of measures. one is something that the foreign minister— one is something that the foreign minister said has been going on for a white, _ minister said has been going on for a while, that they will only take a maximum — a while, that they will only take a maximum of 1000 deportees a day from the united _ maximum of 1000 deportees a day from the united states. and that even during _ the united states. and that even during the height of title 42, they

khan posted this video on social media, complaining that he was earlier being kept at the court by force, despite wanting to leave. let's have a listen. translation: tried not to let us go, saying it was very dangerous outside. but then i got out and forcefully warned him that i would tell the whole of the country that he was forcibly stopping us and condemning us. he let us go, only after that much pressure. but when we came out, we found all the roads deserted and nothing was to fear. i also think all the people who are welcoming me on the way and wishing me well. imran khan there. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some of the other

stories making headlines today. britain's economy grew by nought—point—one % in the first three months of the year. the latest figures from the office for national statistics show that the value of all goods and services produced in the uk remains smaller than levels seen before the covid pandemic. a man has been found guilty of murdering a seven—year—old girl more than 30 years ago. the body of nikki allen was found in sunderland in 1992. david boyd was 25 years old at the time, and lived in the same block of flats as the girl. he was convicted after a three—week trial and will be sentenced later this month. just days after presiding over the coronation, the archbishop of canterbury has been fined more than 500 pounds and given three penalty points after he was caught speeding in london. the most reverend justin welby admitted driving at 25mph in a 20mph zone last october. the 67—year—old had been going along the albert embankment towards his official residence

at lambeth palace. you're live with bbc news. this is the context. in the last couple of hours, moscow has reacted to the announcement that the uk will supply long range storm shadow missiles to ukraine. russia's foreign ministry has released this statement. it reads... our correspondent in kyiv,

hugo bachega, has the latest on the back of this announcement uk has become the first country to be sending longer—range missiles to ukraine. this is something the authorities in kyiv have been saying for a long time they need, because they say they need to strike russian positions away from the front line so ammunition dumps and other facilities have been used by the russian military away from the front lines. so now with these missiles the ukrainians will be able to hit those positions away from the front lines. as you said, there has been a promise by the ukrainian government that these missiles are going to be used to target only positions, russian positions inside ukrainian territories. so in other words,

ukrainians are saying that they are not going to use these missiles to strike positions inside russian territory. i think this announcement comes as ukrainians are preparing a counter offensive to take back territory. they have received weapons and military equipment from nato countries, and again, russian authorities have been describing this level of military support that has been provided by western nations as a sign of how nato is involved in the conflict here. i think that is something that the russian foreign ministry mentioned in this statement. so it was a significant announcement yesterday by the foreign secretary in the uk, because again the uk becomes the first country to provide ukraine with s longer—range cruise missiles that

the ukrainians say they need to strike those possessions away from the front lines. cormac smith is a former british special adviser to ukraine's foreign minister. thank you forjoining us this evening. thank you for “oining us this evenina. . ~ thank you for “oining us this evenina. ., ,, i. ., thank you for “oining us this evenina. . ~' ., ., ., evening. thank you for having me on. you are more — evening. thank you for having me on. you are more than _ evening. thank you for having me on. you are more than welcome. - evening. thank you for having me on. you are more than welcome. first - evening. thank you for having me on. you are more than welcome. first ofl you are more than welcome. first of all, the question i think first of all, the question i think first of all about the storm shadow missiles. in your opinion, does this change anything? what advantage, if you like, just to give ukraine? this anything? what advantage, if you like, just to give ukraine?- like, just to give ukraine? this is hu:el like, just to give ukraine? this is hugely significant. _ like, just to give ukraine? this is hugely significant. ukrainians - like, just to give ukraine? this is i hugely significant. ukrainians have been crying out for three major weapon systems for over a year now. there is a modern battle tanks, which britain has already unlocked the logjam with them, they are now getting because of the challenges we provided. there are modern battle jets which the f—16s, which the doctor working very hard on, with allies at the moment. at the other one has been long—range artillery.

they have been particularly looking for something called a tacos, and american launch rocket system, with a range of 300 km. currently, the longest range they have is about 80 km in a system called high marks, which i've got to say they have made incredible use of. the storm shadow has a range of up to, we believe, 250 km. and as your correspondent said before i came on, this is going to give ukrainians the crucial ability to attack russian positions and logistic chains far behind the front line on occupied territory, and that includes ukraine. it could even see the cursed bridge coming into play. even see the cursed bridge coming into -la. ,, ., , even see the cursed bridge coming into nla . ,, ., , ., into play. strategically, what difference — into play. strategically, what difference does _ into play. strategically, what difference does that - into play. strategically, what difference does that make? | into play. strategically, what - difference does that make? well strategically _ difference does that make? well strategically and _ difference does that make? -ii strategically and makes a very big difference. ukraine is obviously

preparing for an unexpected spring summer counteroffensive at the moment. now we don't know when that's going to happen. it will happen at the time of ukraine's choosing. we shouldn't know when it's going to happen. but vital for that will be, if you've heard general ben hodges is a retired american general, former supreme commander of american ground forces in europe. and ben has been saying for quite some time that the critical arena in this war is actually crimea. a lot of people don't think it's possible for crimea to be taken. ukrainians, i can tell you from spending two years out there, we'll never give up in crimea. as long as crimea is held by russia, ukraine will never be safe, will never be secure, and their economy will never be viable because holding crimea, russia controls the black sea and the vital black sea ports that ukraine must export from. so, these weapons, for the first

time, are going to allow ukraine to attack crucial supply and parts of the logistics chain, and deep inside russian held territory, including the crimean peninsula. so strategically, it's usually significant.— strategically, it's usually siunificant. , , ., �*, , significant. presumably, that's why the statement _ significant. presumably, that's why the statement released _ significant. presumably, that's why the statement released by - significant. presumably, that's why the statement released by the - the statement released by the kremlin this evening is quite so strongly worded. just to reiterate, that the russian side says it reserves the right to take all necessary measures to neutralise the threats. what you make of that statement? i threats. what you make of that statement?— threats. what you make of that statement? ~' �* ., ., ., ,, statement? i think we've got to take it with a pinch _ statement? i think we've got to take it with a pinch of _ statement? i think we've got to take it with a pinch of salt. _ statement? i think we've got to take it with a pinch of salt. we _ statement? i think we've got to take it with a pinch of salt. we have - it with a pinch of salt. we have heard statements like this from the russians from the very start of this further invasion in february 2022. they have rattled the nuclear sabre. i was told the other day over 100 times they began making nuclear threats at the very start of its.

the truth is, russia has nowhere to go with escalation. they have been committing genocide in ukraine for the last 15 months, and i will qualify that. that is genocide that passes all five tests of the united nations charter. i was speaking to a senior ukrainian diplomat the other day. ukrainians, with the aid of the international community, are currently investigating over 75,000 war crimes and these are the most horrendous murders, rapes, tortures, etc. so in less they knew go nuclear, and i was listing this morning to former british ambassador speaking on another channel. and when he said was, well nobody can ever say for certain what russia will or will not to do. it is simply not in russia's interest to go

nuclear, because the consequences for russia, i think we can be certain, would be very extreme. so, yes, the words we have heard from the kremlin, i really think they need to be taken with a pinch of salt because it's nothing we haven't heard before-— heard before. very interesting talkin: to heard before. very interesting talking to you. _ heard before. very interesting talking to you. thank - heard before. very interesting talking to you. thank you - heard before. very interesting talking to you. thank you for. heard before. very interesting . talking to you. thank you for your thoughts this evening. thank you for your thoughts this evening. live now to security correspondent frank gardner. he has been to visit the quick reaction pilots at the amari airbase in estonia — where the uk's royal airforce has taken overfrom germany in leading nato's baltic air patrol. hello frank. thank you so much for joining us on the programme. just tell us what you been finding out today, what you've been seeing and hearing. today, what you've been seeing and hearinu. ,, ~ today, what you've been seeing and hearinu. ,, . ., , today, what you've been seeing and hearinu. ,, . .,, ., , ., hearing. sure. well i was able to net hearing. sure. well i was able to get access _ hearing. sure. well i was able to get access to _ hearing. sure. well i was able to get access to a _ hearing. sure. well i was able to get access to a marine _ hearing. sure. well i was able to get access to a marine air- hearing. sure. well i was able to get access to a marine air base, | get access to a marine air base, which is a former soviet base where they used to train russian allied pilots. it's now a very busy nato base. right at the fallen edge of

nato's baltic air policing operation, which is got a nato codename, and i spent time in what is known as the queue already, the quick reaction aircraft building, where pilots are sitting around, drinking cups of tea, looking at monitors, waiting for the call to scramble. there was an alert when i was there actually, but it turned out not to be an alert. it looked like it could have been where there was an aircraft coming out of the russian, heading north. they were tracking it with radar. turned out it was perfectly benign. but what does happen on a regular basis is that they have to scramble these typhoon jets. that they have to scramble these typhoonjets. the that they have to scramble these typhoon jets. the army has got a number of them there the pace, other aircraft. it the take off today was incredible. blue skies, as you can probably see. they take off to intersect russian aircraft, ones that are acting suspiciously. what are they mean by that? it's one that have not filed any flight plan. they are not responding to the air

traffic controllers. they are passing through or close to what is known as f irs, flight information regions, and simply not making any contact. so that makes nato suspicious. , it's a pretty calm, quiet area because russians attention right now, as you can imagine, is all in ukraine. so the houstonians, and i'm speaking to estonia, even when russia finishes with ukraine, when it is successful they are next. they are convinced, a number of estonian officials i've spoken to are convinced that russia is eyeing the baltic states, it used to be part of the soviet union. and would like to take them back. so nato's present here, both online and in the air. find nato's present here, both online and intheair.�* , , ,_ nato's present here, both online and intheair.�* , , .,_ ~ ., in the air. and presumably ukraine are alluding _ in the air. and presumably ukraine are alluding to _ in the air. and presumably ukraine are alluding to what _ in the air. and presumably ukraine are alluding to what everyone's - are alluding to what everyone's mind, i wonder what people there were making of the story coming out of the kremlin this evening about britain's decision to send those long—range cruise missiles? will

long-range cruise missiles? will they would _ long—range cruise missiles? ll they would agree with your previous guest about taking it with a pinch of salt. i would actually disagree on one point, though, with your previous guest when he says that russia has nowhere to go from this. there is actually some of that they could go to hurt us. us being the west, but practically britain. and thatis west, but practically britain. and that is what known as green zone or subthreshold warfare. it's things like sabotaging undersea cables, communications. there is a realfear in nato circles that russia may have already planted explosives and there is a nordic documentary, i very well researched one, on this at the moment that they may already have mined some of these crucial communication cables. there have been russian ships offshore, of britain shores, looking at wind farms, mapping them out. so there are things they can do without actually firing a shot or killing anybody that would really damage the economy. so there are places they

could go, short of warfare.- could go, short of warfare. thank ou. it's could go, short of warfare. thank you- it's always — could go, short of warfare. thank you. it's always fascinating - could go, short of warfare. thank you. it's always fascinating to - could go, short of warfare. thank| you. it's always fascinating to talk to you. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. not everybody got the sunshine on friday. in fact, it was fairly cold and gloomy in the east of the country. the best of the warmth was further west. how about the weekend? we can summarise it like this. sunny on saturday and showers expected on sunday, at least for some of us. now, the big picture shows an area of high pressure building on top of the uk around scotland and northern ireland. but to the south we're closer to low pressure and a weather front has brought some clouds, some light rain and drizzle in places that's now mostly faded. but it is going to be a fairly cloudy night. east of the pennines, central parts of england and further south too. many northern and western areas

should have a relatively clear night, and a nip in the airfirst thing on saturday morning, about six degrees in the lowlands of scotland. so this is what it looks like on saturday morning. sunshine from the word go across many western and northern parts of the country, but the cloud may be stubborn across england, especially eastern areas. and in fact, some areas may stay fairly cloudy all through the day, particularly closer to the north sea coast. it'll be chilly here, but elsewhere, widely, the high teens up to 20 degrees. a beautiful day for cardiff, for liverpool, for belfast and for glasgow. now, the uv levels are going to be high this weekend. of course, the sun is strong in may. so let's not forget that it's dependent on the temperature. it's dependent on the time of the year. now, the forecast for sunday shows a weather front approaching, so that high pressure over us isn't going to last for very long. here's the weather front as it makes its journey into north—western parts of the uk on sunday and then eventually crossing the irish sea, moving into the lake district, reaching liverpool and also the western fringes of wales as well as south—western england.

so here, cooler, cloudier with rain at times. the warmth and the sunshine will contract towards the east and the south. and in london we could see highs up to about 22 degrees celsius on sunday, but the warmth isn't going to last for very long. you can see the orange colours get replaced by yeah, these cooler conditions from the north and that blue. so, things are going to cool off as we head into next week. in fact, you can see that warm weekend there sunday in cardiff and london. and after that, it turns cooler with temperatures in the mid—teens. but generally speaking, we are expecting fairly dry weather.

we're starting with some news in tonight about tottenham hotspur and their new manager — because we understand it will not be julian nagelsmann. the former bayern munich boss has been heavily linked with spurs since antonio conte was sacked in march. but the london club haven't had talks with nagelsman and not considering him for the role. there are reports they are instead interested in the brighton manager roberto de zerbi or burnley�*s vincent kompany. ryan mason is still in catertaker charge of tottenham who are 6th in the premier league. meanwhile, it's a busy few weeks for manchester city and their manager pep guardiola says he doesn't understand the scheduling of their fixtures. city are chasing a possible treble — with the premier league, champions league and fa cup titles, all still in their grasp. they play everton on sunday before facing real madrid on wednesday. real have an extra day's rest, as they play in la liga on saturday. out of the, i don't think they

wanted to, make it uncomfortable, it's part of the schedule. and the competition, this is the problem and i think the kaplan set a date because in liverpool, we don't, we have so many things. onto tonight's action and there's one game in la liga. mallorca playing cadiz, mid table really for mallorca but cadiz aren't safe, just two points above the relegation zone. and lazio are hoping to secure a top 4finish in serie a —

they're against lecce. henrik stenson has resigned his membership of the dp world tour to avoid further sanctions including fines after he competed in liv golf events without permission. stenson, who's already lost his position as this year's ryder cup captain due to his liv involvement, faces fines of around 200,000 dollars and suspensions if he wanted to continue playing on the tour. here's our golf corespondent ian carter. that kind of encapsulates the turmoil that has gone on since the arrival of this golf and punishments are being administers and the green light was given by the arbitration hearing and the fact that the players lost their appeal to the initial fines and suspensions that were put in place for planning in liv and asian tour events without the consent of the dp world tour. stinson is gone last week end other

big names from european golf in westwood, ian poulter resigned the memberships and the veterans are gone as well expect other big names to follow suit in the light of these punishments being announced. world cup titles, he will coach the test team and they named the former captain as the t20 coach in ireland are playing bangladesh in a one—day match in essex, a total of 319 for six and hitting a huge hundred 40 before being bullied out in bangladesh are busy chasing and hitting a century and they are currently still a little ways off, georgia 93 for six and they still need around 20 runs.

mumbai indians defeated gujarat titans by 27 runs in the indian premier league. invited to bat, mumbai scored 218 for five — suryakumar yadav with a stunning 103 not out offjust 49 balls. in reply, gujarat could only manage 191 for 8 with rashid khan top—scoring with 79 not out. further air strikes and exchanges of artillery fire have taken part in the capital khartoum despite humanitarian agreements coming into place between the two warring factions. in the meeting of saudi arabia, and the sudanese military and the rss paramilitary group signed a deal to alleviate the suffering of the civilian population and promising to allow in aid and

let people leave. but made very little progress towards peace and no agreement being secured for a 10—day truce. timothy is a retired former us ambassador to sudan and they're joining us now from cambridge, massachusetts and thank you so much forjoining us this evening to give us your thoughts on the situation. delighted to be with you. someone who knows the country well, what if you made of the last four weeks under such rapid deterioration and the impact on civilians there? it's a catastrophe of course. these military figures simply had no concept of where they were going, they hope for knockout blows and it didn't work, it never has, least of all in sudan. and even with such a preponderance of force, the russians have been unable to do it in ukraine and as for the situation in

khartoum, it is not in agreement thatis khartoum, it is not in agreement that is inked, it is rather a declaration of commitment to protect civilians. the terms, the agreement and the declaration concepts are very good, but they require a truce in order to get the humanitarian supplies but the civilians need in and we do not yet have a truce between those two sides or at least very patchy or extremely fraught in the international humanitarian community is reluctant to trust themselves to that sort of unlikely safety. 50 themselves to that sort of unlikely safe . ,, ., themselves to that sort of unlikely safe _ ,, ., ., themselves to that sort of unlikely safe . ,, ., ., ., themselves to that sort of unlikely safe . ., ., ., , themselves to that sort of unlikely safe . ., ., , safety. so the deal that has been sinned safety. so the deal that has been signed specifically _ safety. so the deal that has been signed specifically to _ safety. so the deal that has been signed specifically to help - safety. so the deal that has been | signed specifically to help trapped civilians to allow them safe passage

at this point, it is not likely, at this point-— this point. thank you so much for our time this point. thank you so much for your time and _ this point. thank you so much for your time and your _ this point. thank you so much for your time and your insight - this point. thank you so much for your time and your insight this i your time and your insight this evening. it is much appreciated. pakistan hospitals former prime minister has left the high court after the had the release after bail. the dramatic arrest of corruption allegations on tuesday sparked outrage among his supporters leading to days of violent protests. the charges against him still stand but high courtjudges ruled what he could not be arrested again for at least two weeks. our pakistan correspondent is in islamabad. imran khan has left — correspondent is in islamabad. imran khan has left the _ correspondent is in islamabad. imran khan has left the high _ correspondent is in islamabad. imran khan has left the high court - correspondent is in islamabad. imran khan has left the high court and - correspondent is in islamabad. i�*n�*a�*i khan has left the high court and he has headed back to the park which is his home at about a four and a half hourjourney from islamabad to get there and is something he's been asking for after appearing in the

supreme court, different court and islamabad yesterday. and it is quite confusing there's been a lot of different developments and to stay, he was at a islamabad high court for he was at a islamabad high court for he was at a islamabad high court for he was arrested and he was under police investigation and news is not seen for several days until yesterday, thursday when he arrived in front of the supreme court called by the chiefjustice there who said that he wanted to see him to appear. he then told imran khan that the way she had been arrested was illegal at that high court, the other court and therefore, that meant the entire process would have to start all over again and in the meantime, imran khan stayed overnight at a police compound area. he was told that was for his own safety although he was allowed to have guests and visitors. and today he was appearing in front of islamabad high court and essentially restarted the whole procedure from scratch to see what would happen. there was a potential

outcome that we did not know whether or not it would be given bail for those arrest charges can be put back again and as it was for the particular charge, initially they said yes, that's fine, you been given bailfor a few said yes, that's fine, you been given bail for a few weeks it is series of otherjudges they came to the court and imran khan appeared in front of them and the summary of it was that those, he's been given bail on them until monday. monday is now the key new date and what is happening here in pakistan. quite a few series of events and he was told he was able to be given the bail and there would be held across pakistan, notjust in the remit of islamabad in the holding until monday and in court for a while, cipinko if you hours in the courtroom speaking to his team and initially, he was relatively calm and take itself is the people, she was conducting interviews with journalists as well

but as time went on, kept there for a few hours waiting for the go ahead, waiting for paperwork to come through, he started to get more agitated that resulted in him doing this announcement to the public seniors been given the excuses as to why she could leave and the police did manage to clear a path and he was able to leave and is now on his way back. went back across the world in the uk, this is bbc news. we didn't know and then we realised that there was a world going up between the paramilitary forces in the sudanese army.— the sudanese army. reliving their esca -e the sudanese army. reliving their escape from _ the sudanese army. reliving their escape from civil— the sudanese army. reliving their escape from civil war, _ the sudanese army. reliving their escape from civil war, the - the sudanese army. reliving their escape from civil war, the family. the sudanese army. reliving their. escape from civil war, the family of six from berkshire for in sudan to celebrate ramadan and the capital of khartoum when fighting broke out. our front khartoum when fighting broke out. ourfront door was khartoum when fighting broke out. our front door was struck by a

inherit growing domestic discontent, security pressures from neighbouring miramar and increasing revelry between the united states and china. in recent years, thailand is moved closer to china, but that could change under different leadership. but speak to gregory and he is the director of southeast asia programme centre for strategic and international studies in washington and thank you so much forjoining us and thank you so much forjoining us and now take us through unless you have the intricacies of the type system, it's quite a complicated political system and could you just take us through what we could expect was shallow it really is complicated in lot more complicated under the 2019 constitution so they could not lose power. the 250 seat senate, even though you have 500 seats up for election on sunday, the magic

number to appoint the prime minister is not 2051, is 376, which means any party would have to get an unbelievable 75% of the popular vote in order to overcome the stacking of that unelected senate. is that like that unelected senate. is that like that happen? no. run by this is been tarueted b that happen? no. run by this is been targeted by coops — that happen? no. run by this is been targeted by coups d'etat's _ that happen? no. run by this is been targeted by coups d'etat's twice - that happen? no. run by this is been targeted by coups d'etat's twice and l targeted by coups d'etat's twice and they will win as they've done every popular election for two tickets for the liquid when 75% of the vote. they're talking about the youth in thailand saying that the young are the most disaffected at the moment and they feel that something is got to change. and they feel that something is got to chance. , . �* and they feel that something is got tochanue. ,~ �* ,, , to change. they aren't especially cosmopolitan _ to change. they aren't especially cosmopolitan use _ to change. they aren't especially cosmopolitan use bangkok - to change. they aren't especially cosmopolitan use bangkok after| to change. they aren't especially - cosmopolitan use bangkok after under way from both the old realist and military parties and they are tired

new areas spent on social media. we also know that she joined so a different sector. she is leaving nbc universalfor she different sector. she is leaving nbc universal for she was head different sector. she is leaving nbc universalfor she was head of advertising and people have been weighing in on social media. some praising linda's business back ground. forthat, very praising linda's business back ground. for that, very pleased to talk to our correspondent. is this a surprise naming? as a brace candidate?— surprise naming? as a brace candidate? ., ~ ., candidate? elon musk and said he would step down _ candidate? elon musk and said he would step down by _ candidate? elon musk and said he would step down by the _ candidate? elon musk and said he would step down by the end - candidate? elon musk and said he would step down by the end of. would step down by the end of the year as chief executive and people were not sure really whether not he meant it or not and it's a very, the person she has made named, people are speculating that not enough a's

particular names but because of her experience that advertising, she has taken his long experience with nbc universal and seeing at revenue of about $13 billion and thousands of members of staff and so, that matters because if you look at what is happening to twitter since elon musk took over, it has seen the amount of dollars that advertisers are spending on the company plunged in part because they were nervous about what he might do with content moderation. they did not want the brands appearing around content but didn't match the messages and so, it is hoped that she will bring a steady hand and bolster twitter�*s finances. in steady hand and bolster twitter's finances. , , ., ., finances. in he is still going to very much _ finances. in he is still going to very much he _ finances. in he is still going to very much be in _ finances. in he is still going to very much be in charge - finances. in he is still going to very much be in charge so - finances. in he is still going to i very much be in charge so much finances. in he is still going to - very much be in charge so much but certainly involved. the way he described it is certainly involved. the way he described i—

mentally fit to make such a decision in the conservative president has voiced strong opposition to euthanasia and he vetoed previous bills, arguing that some of the text needed to be clarified. i am speaking to a member of the national council of ethics for life scientists and portugal and thank you so much forjoining us. it is quite a complicated story in terms of the legal situations because the laws of been there before but they have been vetoed, cutest bring us up exactly are we with this law? thank ou ve exactly are we with this law? thank you very much _ exactly are we with this law? thank you very much for _ exactly are we with this law? thank you very much for having _ exactly are we with this law? thank you very much for having me - exactly are we with this law? thank you very much for having me and i exactly are we with this law? thank| you very much for having me and it's a pleasure to be here. this law are the subject has had a long road since its first approval in parliament in february 2020 where a set of proposals were first approved by the portuguese parliament and

then, the parliament decree in january 2021 and those the first time the portuguese president centre to the constitutional court in order to the constitutional court in order to assess constitutional conformity of the law and considering the decision of the constitutional court, the president been vetoed it because they said it would be unconstitutional because it would not comply with the rule of law in terms of criminal law. so, after the parliament amended the law, it passedit parliament amended the law, it passed it again in november 2021 and after the president issued a veto based on a courts decision, it should be political battle because they had some doubts on some of the provisions of the law. this, again with the new government, did not

extend forward and with the 15 government, this issue came to parliament and more or less, the same life span been in the previous government session in namely, the first approval of parliament decree in december 2022 and then, the president asked the constitutional conformity and the court again talking about constitutional rule of law violation because of being determined in summer to determine for the constitutional court and tell us what this law is going to allow, it allows adults only, 18 only, correct? 18 allow, it allows adults only, 18 only. correct?— allow, it allows adults only, 18 onl , correct?

on saturday morning, about six degrees in the lowlands of scotland. so this is what it looks like on saturday morning. sunshine from the word go across many western and northern parts of the country, but the cloud may be stubborn across england, especially eastern areas. and in fact, some areas may stay fairly cloudy all through the day, particularly closer to the north sea coast. it'll be chilly here, but elsewhere, widely, the high teens up to 20 degrees. a beautiful day for cardiff, for liverpool, for belfast and for glasgow. now the uv levels are going to be high this weekend. of course, the sun is strong in may. so let's not forget that it's not dependent on the temperature, it's dependent on the time of the year. now, the forecast for sunday shows a weather front approaching so that high pressure over us isn't going to last for very long. here's the weather front as it makes its journey into north—western parts of the uk on sunday and then eventually crossing the irish sea, moving into the lake district, reaching liverpool and also the western fringes of wales as well as south—western england. so here, cooler, cloudier with rain at times the warmth and the sunshine will contract towards the east and the south. and in london we could see

highs up to about 22 degrees celsius on sunday, but the warmth isn't going to last for very long. you can see the orange colours get replaced by yeah, these cooler conditions from the north and that blue. so things are going to cool off as we head into next week. in fact, you can see that warm weekend there sunday in cardiff and london. and after that it turns cooler with temperatures in the mid—teens. but generally speaking, we are expecting fairly dry weather.

good evening. russia has condemned the uk's decision to supply long—range storm shadow missiles to ukraine. russia's foreign ministry released this statement. dr patrick bury is a former infantry captain in the british army, now nato analyst and defence expert at the university of bath. hejoins us on

enable the ukrainians to do. so the actual missile itself is got about 550 lbs, designed to pierce through armour bunkers and explode. it will also be useful against the did deficiency of targets the russians have built —— defensive target is. one of the first countries to provide this level of weaponry? yes. provide this level of weaponry? yes, the ukrainians _ provide this level of weaponry? yes, the ukrainians have _ provide this level of weaponry? 1a: the ukrainians have been asking provide this level of weaponry? 123 the ukrainians have been asking for the ukrainians have been asking for the last year or so, as well as jets and tanks, they've asked for the longer—range heavy missiles from the us. that has a range of about 300 miles, and they been asking for about a year, but the us was reluctant because they were worried about it flying into russia. the

difference about the storm shadow missile is that it will have to be air launched. there's been some jerry rigging to make sure it can actually work, which is really quite phenomenal. so, that's been no mean feat. it's different, it's going to be the longest range missile the ukrainians have been given by the west. ~ ., , ., ukrainians have been given by the west. ~ ., i. , ., , west. when would you estimate this will be in place? _ west. when would you estimate this will be in place? what _ west. when would you estimate this will be in place? what would - west. when would you estimate this will be in place? what would you i will be in place? what would you expect this timescale to be? that's a very interesting _ expect this timescale to be? that's a very interesting one. _ expect this timescale to be? that's a very interesting one. are - expect this timescale to be? that's a very interesting one. are you i a very interesting one. are you would think on the one hand if you are going to announce that they have these missiles, obviously there's escalatory risks. maybe it's better to prepare the audiences at home.

nevertheless, usually what you would do is make sure the first deliveries are already under way when you announce it to make sure some of them get in. so, i think that's the back story in terms of some of the considerations, about when to announce that it's happened. i think he indicated they were already under way. i he indicated they were already under wa . ., he indicated they were already under wa . :, :, he indicated they were already under wa . ., ., , let's bring in our panel. tom peck is a columnist and political sketch writer with the independent and steve hanke is a professor of applied economics atjohns hopkins university. just talking about these missiles that britain has agreed to send to ukraine and this statement that has been released by the kremlin this evening, which has some fairly strong words in it. if i canjust

don't fancy being in that situation potentially. so, there is a clock ticking, and that clock favours action by ukraine this summer to try to get more favourable terms. my own take on this, i've been pessimistic about how ukraine's chances were, bearin about how ukraine's chances were, bear in mind all these new brigades, get a lot of new tanks, work out how to use them and bring it all together in a symphony, a combined arms manoeuvre. but what i think we're seeing coming out of bakhmut recently in the division between the russian staff and the conditions, i think there's a chance the russians haven't managed to fix their morale.

fairly crucial. it may not have changed. we'lljust have to wait and see. we don't know how good the ukrainians are or the russians, because they got newly mobilised troops and there defensively prepared. we'lljust have to wait and see. prepared. we'll 'ust have to wait and see. . .. prepared. we'll 'ust have to wait and see. ., ,, ,~. prepared. we'll 'ust have to wait and see. . ~' ,, , prepared. we'll 'ust have to wait and see. ., ,, ,~. , . and see. thank you very much, patrick. our _ and see. thank you very much, patrick. our panelists - and see. thank you very much, patrick. our panelists will stay | patrick. our panelists will stay with us. our borders are not open — the warning from america's immigration authorities as a change in migration rules came into force along the border with mexico. it's due to the expiry of a controversial trump—era immigration policy known as title 42, which allowed those who cross illicitly from mexico to be sent back swiftly. the us has deployed thousands of troops along its southern border as it prepares for a surge of arrivals. live now to our correspondent sophie long, who's in el paso in texas.

really giving us the situation on the ground there. an hour ago, you said it was quite quiet at the moment. said it was quite quiet at the moment-— said it was quite quiet at the moment. ., h , ..,, moment. that's still the case, sarah. moment. that's still the case, sarah- we _ moment. that's still the case, sarah. we don't _ moment. that's still the case, sarah. we don't have - moment. that's still the case, sarah. we don't have any i moment. that's still the case, i sarah. we don't have any numbers yet, but we've heard the department of homeland security, who said they haven't seen a substantial increase that was anticipated or expected. you can see on the streets behind me, it's very quiet, and that's not always the case. the months running up always the case. the months running up to this, there were hundreds of migrants sleeping rough on the streets here outside this church, and they congregate here because there is some shelter for more vulnerable people who come here from the scorching heat in the cold nights in the winter. we heard from the mayor of el paso this morning, who said the transition from one set of restrictions to the next set doesn't seem to have gone smoothly.

but he did caution the people who come over and the hours since the restrictions have changed. they will currently be in detention and processing centres, so we don't yet see the impact on the streets here in el paso. they were cleared as part of the effort to prepare for that influx of people coming in, but we haven't yet seen happen yet. haste we haven't yet seen happen yet. have ou had a we haven't yet seen happen yet. have you had a chance _ we haven't yet seen happen yet. have you had a chance to _ we haven't yet seen happen yet. have you had a chance to speak to anyone? i appreciate the fact that people are dissipated and moving around. we are dissipated and moving around. 2 have. over the past few days, we've spoken to a lot of people. a couple of young men from venezuela yesterday, all of them talk about the journey, yesterday, all of them talk about thejourney, how long it was, how difficult it was to get here and how they got across the border, but interestingly, i asked each and every person i spoke to, do you realise the extractions are changing? not one of them had any idea at all. when you think about

the idea that republican politicians here are saying this is going to cause a huge rush on the border or this will impact that, i think whenever you have a policy change at the us southern border or even a rumour of one, what you get is a huge amount of confusion among the tens of thousands of people who are gathered waiting on the other side. many of them have tried to cross once or twice, but the big change now, if they were deported or expelled, they could try again. that's different now, so i think what we're seeing from people we've spoken to is that some people are now considering very carefully whether now is the time to do it. if they are found to have entered the country illegally, they will be deported and banned from reentry for five years minimum. so, the stakes are higher, if you like. they won't

just be turned away, but they will not be processed, and that they cannot demonstrate credible needs to seek asylum in the united states, they won't be allowed to stay. sophie, thank you. let's go now to our correspondent will grant, who's in mexico city. interesting hearing sophie explaining the situation. do you think that message is being heard in mexico with all the migrants coming into the country there? i mexico with all the migrants coming into the country there?— into the country there? i think it will take quite _ into the country there? i think it will take quite a _ into the country there? i think it will take quite a while _ into the country there? i think it will take quite a while for- into the country there? i think it will take quite a while for a i will take quite a while for a change in rules— will take quite a while for a change in rules to — will take quite a while for a change in rules to filter through to people across— in rules to filter through to people across the region. bear in mind that people _ across the region. bear in mind that people are — across the region. bear in mind that people are coming to or attempting to reach— people are coming to or attempting to reach the mexico us border from afar field _ to reach the mexico us border from afar field as ecuador and chile, certainly— afar field as ecuador and chile, certainly in the caribbean places like cuba — certainly in the caribbean places like cuba and haiti. the information that reaches them is very patchy, partly _ that reaches them is very patchy, partly because it is very hard for them _ partly because it is very hard for them to— partly because it is very hard for them to read between the lines. but

sunak are trying to do, it does not make the problem go away in any way shape orform. there has to be a politician —— politicians have to be brave enough to take that problem on and not play the cheap and easy politics of blaming other people. biden is in a unique opportunity because he's beaten trump once already, i think you will beaten him again. he has to be brave to go for the answers, not easy politics. brute the answers, not easy politics. we remember donald trump in the wall being the big issue. is this going to be another big issue in the forthcoming election? steve? h to be another big issue in the forthcoming election? steve? ithink it will be a big _ forthcoming election? steve? ithink it will be a big issue, _ forthcoming election? steve? ithink it will be a big issue, and _ forthcoming election? steve? ithink it will be a big issue, and it's i it will be a big issue, and it's just— it will be a big issue, and it's just not— it will be a big issue, and it's just not going _ it will be a big issue, and it's just not going away. - it will be a big issue, and it's just not going away. the i it will be a big issue, and it's i just not going away. the reason it will be a big issue, and it's - just not going away. the reason it's not going _ just not going away. the reason it's not going away— just not going away. the reason it's not going away - _ just not going away. the reason it's not going away — don't _ just not going away. the reason it's not going away — don't forget the i not going away — don't forget the president— not going away — don't forget the president doesn't— not going away — don't forget the president doesn't decide - not going away — don't forget the president doesn't decide all i not going away — don't forget the | president doesn't decide all these

point of twitter, it's where the news breaks. that's where people go first when something happens. it's not where people want to do and order their food not where people want to do and order theirfood into not where people want to do and order their food into everything, but i strongly suspect that he's going to kill off the reason. what going to kill off the reason. what ou going to kill off the reason. what you make? _ going to kill off the reason. what you make? is _ going to kill off the reason. what you make? is this _ going to kill off the reason. what you make? is this a _ going to kill off the reason. what you make? is this a skill - going to kill off the reason. what you make? is this a skill you - going to kill off the reason. what you make? is this a skill you think twitter needs?— twitter needs? advertising never hurts if you're — twitter needs? advertising never hurts if you're trying _ twitter needs? advertising never hurts if you're trying to _ twitter needs? advertising never hurts if you're trying to drum - twitter needs? advertising never hurts if you're trying to drum up| hurts if you're trying to drum up business. — hurts if you're trying to drum up business, but my concern about twitter— business, but my concern about twitter is — business, but my concern about twitter is the fact that the government said it's meddling little fingers _ government said it's meddling little fingers involved heavily in twitter, and that _ fingers involved heavily in twitter, and that is — fingers involved heavily in twitter, and that is something that i oppose and that is something that i oppose and i_ and that is something that i oppose and i hope — and that is something that i oppose and i hope that linda takes a hard line and _ and i hope that linda takes a hard line and keeps the government out of twitter~ _ line and keeps the government out of twitter~ do _ line and keeps the government out of twitter. ~' line and keeps the government out of twitter. ~ ._ , line and keeps the government out of twitter. ~ , ., twitter. do we think maybe that shareholders _ twitter. do we think maybe that shareholders in _ twitter. do we think maybe that shareholders in these _ twitter. do we think maybe that| shareholders in these companies might be happy that somebody else is going to take over a bit of control?

elon musk seems to spend a lot of time dealing with twitter. it’s time dealing with twitter. it's fascinating — time dealing with twitter. it�*s fascinating about the tesla share price in every part of the stock market. stockbrokers have been wanting a reason to sell off their tesla stock. i think as elon advised twitter, was a great opportunity for tesla's price to return to a more normal level. it has gone up slightly, but i think the need for the tesla price to stabilise dramatically come down... long time coming. dramatically come down... long time cominr. �* ,, , , , dramatically come down... long time cominu.�* ,, , , , , coming. and steve, briefly, is this aood or coming. and steve, briefly, is this good or bad _ coming. and steve, briefly, is this good or bad news _ coming. and steve, briefly, is this good or bad news for— coming. and steve, briefly, is this good or bad news for twitter? - coming. and steve, briefly, is this good or bad news for twitter? it's| good or bad news for twitter? it's aood good or bad news for twitter? it's good news. we'll see how it works.

and further south, too. many northern and western areas should have a relatively clear night, and a nip in the airfirst thing on saturday morning, about 6 degrees in the lowlands of scotland. so this is what it looks like on saturday morning — sunshine from the word go across many western and northern parts of the country, but the cloud may be stubborn across england, especially eastern areas. and in fact, some areas may stay fairly cloudy all through the day, particularly closer to the north sea coast. it'll be chilly here, but elsewhere, widely, the high teens up to 20 degrees. a beautiful day for cardiff, for liverpool, for belfast and for glasgow. now, the uv levels are going to be high this weekend. of course, the sun is strong in may, so let's not forget that it's dependent on the temperature. dependent on the temperature, it's dependent on the time of the year. now, the forecast for sunday shows a weather front approaching, so that high pressure over us isn't going to last for very long. here's the weather front as it makes its journey into north—western parts of the uk on sunday and then eventually crossing the irish sea, moving into the lake district, reaching liverpool and also the western fringes of wales as well as south—western england.

so, here, cooler, cloudier with rain at times. the warmth and the sunshine will contract towards the east and the south. and in london, we could see highs up to about 22 degrees celsius on sunday, but the warmth isn't going to last for very long. you can see the orange colours get replaced by yeah, get replaced by, yeah, these cooler conditions from the north and that blue. from the north and that blue, so things are going to cool off as we head into next week. in fact, you can see that warm weekend there sunday in cardiff and london. and after that, it turns cooler with temperatures in the mid—teens, but generally speaking, we are expecting fairly dry weather.

hello, i'm sarah campbell. you're watching the context on bbc news. a youtuber in california who intentionally crashed an aeroplane for views is facing up to twenty years in prison. we are going to be talking about the story now, which is rooted there. a youtuber in california who intentionally crashed an aeroplane for views is facing up

to 20 years in prison. trevorjacob posted the video of the plane crash to youtube in december 2021, implying it was an accident. he has since said the video, which now has over 3 million views, was part of a product sponsorship deal. he is expected to plead guilty to obstructing a federal investigation by cleaning up the site of the crash, despite later claiming he did not know the location. dr sarah hodge is a cyberpsychology expert from the university of bournemouth. and you so much forjoining us this evening. i don't know where to begin with this but he does tell us something about social media and the need for views, likes that we've lived with every day now in society. thank you for having me on. i think it really does show this kind of

drive to get the likes and the subscribers in the comments and the views and the lengths that people might go to to get these things and i think it's really being demonstrated here in this example. really extremely demonstrated in this example and it's almost incredible and i can imagine a story like this ten years ago. there is a financial aspects of this and that a psychological need for likes and you also get money. find psychological need for likes and you also get money-— also get money. and from what the influence say _ also get money. and from what the influence say they _ also get money. and from what the influence say they do _ also get money. and from what the influence say they do get _ also get money. and from what the influence say they do get this - influence say they do get this money, it does seem like other drivers for them is the sponsorships and so yeah, but is come out about the sponsorships in this and may be the sponsorships in this and may be the idea that there needs to be more extreme in order to get her sponsorship into what the sponsorship into what the sponsorship might want as well. is sponsorship might want as well. is that the real problem quiz maker you send it as a real problem from a

psychological, psychology perspective, this need for likes, this need for approval online. should we be worried about it? yeah, i think it's should we be worried about it? yeah, i think it's a — should we be worried about it? yeah, i think it's a really _ should we be worried about it? yeah, i think it's a really good _ should we be worried about it? yeah, i think it's a really good question - i think it's a really good question because this extends to most users because this extends to most users because whether you're an influencer of content creator, millions of followers are just a few, there does seem to be a lot of focus around the lakes and how much attention the content is receiving and lots of research to suggest that it may have negative effects on the people that are using it as well as the concern for the content that is created, it is very difficult to distinguish reality from something that may be constructed. this was something that was real. and who was the viewers that are looking at this? and thinking of the content you are making and the consequences of the

in the airfirst thing on saturday morning, about six degrees in the lowlands of scotland. so this is what it looks like on saturday morning. sunshine from the word go across many western and northern parts of the country, but the cloud may be stubborn across england, especially eastern areas. and in fact, some areas may stay fairly cloudy all through the day, particularly closer to the north sea coast. it'll be chilly here, but elsewhere, widely, the high teens up to 20 degrees. a beautiful day for cardiff, for liverpool, for belfast and for glasgow. now, the uv levels are going to be high this weekend. of course, the sun is strong in may. so let's not forget that it's dependent on the temperature. so, let's not forget that it's dependent on the temperature. it's dependent on the time of the year. now, the forecast for sunday shows a weather front approaching, so, that high pressure over us isn't going to last for very long. here's the weather front as it makes its journey into north—western parts of the uk on sunday and then eventually crossing the irish sea, moving into the lake district, reaching liverpool and also the western fringes of wales as well fringes of wales, as well

as south—western england. so here, cooler, cloudier with rain at times. the warmth and the sunshine will contract towards the east and the south. and in london, we could see highs up to about 22 degrees celsius on sunday, but the warmth isn't going to last for very long. you can see the orange colours get replaced by, yeah, these cooler conditions from the north and that blue. 50, things are going to cool off as we head into next week. in fact, you can see that warm weekend there sunday in cardiff and london. and after that, it turns cooler with temperatures in the mid—teens, but generally speaking, we are expecting fairly dry weather.

tonight at ten, we're live in liverpool — controversy as president zelensky is not allowed to address the eurovision contest. the prime minister says he's disapointesd. as people come here from across europe and around the world, locals say it's a big moment for the city. we are born and bred here, so it makes us so proud of the city. i think it's just - done the city proud, liverpool proud, eurovision proud and ukraine proud! l # instead i wrote a song about how you've done me wrong... # flying the flag for the uk —
