understood the protective order that this hearing was meant to ensure donald trump understood the protective order that has been issued. and that essentially says that mr trump cannot publish any evidence published with his defence he unless it is already out there in the public domain. donald trump appeared virtually for this hearing. that is why there is not as much security, as many news cameras outside of the manhattan criminal courthouse today. he appeared on a feed with his lawyer next to him, todd blanche, with an american flag in the backdrop. he spoke briefly, the judge had asked if he had received the protective order and he said, yes i have — then he went on to what else concerned either party. donald trump's lawyer saying they still maintained objection that this was a concern for them because of donald trump's right to free speech. and he said that he had explained to his client that that was not

the judge's intention with this protective order and that it was not a gag order. the judge agreed there reiterating that this was not a gag order and was still free to speak about this case as he wished except for the very limited scope of this protective order. now, the judge did also say that if donald trump violates that order, he will be found in contempt of court and that could subject them of court and that could subject him to jail time or fines. at the end of the hearing we also heard more about the schedule for this trial. it is now set for march 25 and the judge was very clear that he has left enough cushion in time for a discovery that he does not want that date to slip one bit. now, we're going to portugal for the latest on the search for madeleine mccann. police are searching a reservoir — looking for evidence to link a german sex offender — christian brueckner — to her disappearance. he was made a formal suspect by portuguese prosecutors last year. daniel sandford reports.

on the arid banks of an algarve reservoir, german and portuguese police officers working methodically through the undergrowth, probing for anything that could finally provide a clue to what happened to madeleine mccann. because of the sensitivity of the case, british police officers have been invited to observe the operation that also involved dogs and a rigid hull inflatable boat. the work is expected to resume tomorrow. that promontory, which has been the focus of the search, has a car park and impromptu campsite on it, and what the police have been doing is searching down from the car park to the edge of the water. madeleine mccann vanished from a holiday apartment 30 miles away in may 2007, and this has become one of the most infamous missing persons cases. her parents, kate and gerry mccann, have never given up hope

of finding her alive. earlier this month they released a simple statement. "the police investigation continues and we await a breakthrough." that investigation has led to the arade reservoir because the main suspect was a regular at the unofficial campsite. he is christian brueckner, a german man currently serving a prison sentence for rape. it is german prosecutors who are leading this investigation. brueckner, who used this camper van while living in the algarve, has not been charged and has denied any involvement. prosecutors said today's search was based on intelligence. translation: you can imagine - we don't start searching somewhere in portugal on the off chance. there's a good reason for it. madeleine mccann vanished from a holiday apartment in praia da luz in may 2007. from there to the arade reservoir where the search is taking place is a journey of about 45 minutes. the peninsular that's been the focus

of today's operation is on the west side of the lake. one former british police officer involved in the original madeleine mccann investigation is optimistic about the search. i think its reasonable to be hopeful twofold. one is that the german police are continuing at pace and they are not taking off the pressure and they are continuing to invest resource. and number two, at some stage, there has got to be a breakthrough. but madeleine mccann vanished 16 years ago, so the chances of proving what happened to her must now be limited. daniel sandford, bbc news at the arade dam. the death has been confirmed of the disgraced entertainer, and convicted sex offender rolf harris. it's emerged that he passed away almost two weeks ago, from cancer. that came six years after he was released from prison — he'd been jailed for a series of sexual assaults,

dating back to the 19605. before those crimes came to light, he'd been one of britain's best known tv personalities — and an artist who was commissioned to paint a portrait of queen elizabeth. barbara miller is a correspondent with the abc news australia — who covered rolf harris' case extensively in 2014 and told us more about it: that was almost absurd, here's this guy who had been on our television screens for decades who seem to be reinventing himself as a painter, a singer, a host and animal programmes and he, is the and court was quite disturbing. he was sketching people as he sat in the box and when he took the stand, he did take the stand in his on defence actually performed a little, he's saying of his songs and its side effects from his songs and its side effects from

his famous board. to me, there was this disconnect between the man who presented in court and the allegations he was facing and several women appeared behind the screens and talking about the years they had suffered since they suffered abuse by rolf harris and one woman said she felt emotionally dead another time the court that her childhood had been taken from her and rob harris —— rolf harris had a very lengthy walking into court and out of court as he accompanied his wife who survives him and she has been over some time and unsteady on herfeetin been over some time and unsteady on herfeet in the been over some time and unsteady on her feet in the reporters to throwing questions at rolf harris as he walked in and out of court and he never publicly commented on those obligations as you said, he never showed any remorse and he said these

women were gold—diggers and fantasists and pointing out one of the things he was cleared, it was considered to be unsafe in the witness was not credible and that particular time but it was very surreal to see rolf harris in court and disturbing to share these allegations of abuse of very young girls and women, the youngest was age seven or eight when she said that rolf harris molested her. before we go, a reminder of a developing story this hour: borisjohnson has been referred to the police by the cabinet office, over new claims he may have broken lockdown rules during the pandemic. the allegations have come to light during preparations for the covid public investigation. mrjohnson has replied to the allegations in a statement. you have been watching newsday.

stay with us. hello. temperatures on tuesday reached 21 degrees celsius in yorkshire and i think wednesday is going to be every bit as warm, maybe even a tad warmer. and the next few days, very little change on the weather front. large area of high pressure is dominating the weather across our part of the world. but the air is riding around the area of high pressure and the air actually originates from the central north atlantic. so we're not seeing the push of warm air that we sometimes get from the southern climes. and that means that so far this may, depending how you look at it, has been a little disappointing

in terms of the temperatures. so we've only managed to reach 23 degrees so far in most years. those values reached the mid or the high 20s, at least at some point in may. so yes, it has been a little on the cool side, which is not necessarily a bad thing. not all of us like hot weather. so the forecast then early on wednesday shows a bit of cloud across western scotland and northern ireland, maybe a few spits some spots of rain. but elsewhere we're waking up to mostly sunny skies. a bit of a nip in the air, though, particularly in the north. now this weather front will continue to bring splits and spots of rain and thicker cloud for a time through the morning, into the afternoon towards these north western areas. but to the south of that, it is going to be a gloriously sunny day. so this is where the temperatures will be at their highest, typically in the high teens to perhaps the low 20s in one or two areas, 22, for example, in cardiff. also worth mentioning that the sun is of course very strong this time of the year. and look at that high uv levels pretty much across the board. the high pressure is still with us on thursday, but it means also

that the wind directions will be changing around the uk as this high pressure changes this sort of shape. and that does mean that cloud will be pushed across the country into different areas. so it does look as though parts of england will be a little on the cloudy side at times on thursday. so just because we've got high pressure doesn't necessarily mean it will stay sunny all through the week. and here's friday, you can see the temperatures again, fairly similar, high teens possibly up to about 22 degrees celsius. the high pressure system over us is going to last through the weekend and quite possibly into next week as well. and look at the values in cardiff. it's pretty much the same every single day. certainly not looking bad at all. bye— bye.
