whatever you want to colour, they went on to lose in the primaries because they were so extreme. this republican out there that really wants anyone trump because that faction is quite small. it is the after trump is that hold people that may be voted for trump in 2016 is a list 2020 but once somebody else now, they're frustrated with the biden administration and ron desantis is a real opportunity to snag their votes as time goes on, it is very early out and i don't think there's any good reliable pulling about where he stands with the republican electorate overall. . . , with the republican electorate overall. ., , , ., overall. that was presidential candidate _ overall. that was presidential candidate and _ overall. that was presidential candidate and political- overall. that was presidential| candidate and political adviser and i mentioned earlier that presentjoe biden and his team wasted no time making a comment on the technical issues that ron desantis had and said essentially that we are not having technical issues here.

elements, we had the rise of the me to and so many people came together collectively and said we cannot allow this to continue. it's going to take that level of unity across these different groups again to ensure that his collective voices are seen and heard because what we are seeing is a pushback to the problems that we have seen in this country and the fact that in his own state, they don't want to mention the race of rosa parks or amanda gorman's poem. these are realities and realities that should be and are protected by our first amendment rights which protected by ourfirst amendment rights which are seeing many of these cases being overturned in the supreme court. but that is the fight we're up against and as long as that fight exists, you will see
12:10 am
us begin to coalesce and unite and continue to fight this battle. but we have seen in georgia for the republicans are trying to push nationwide is, you saw governor tim and his team dial it back because they know that as long as this rhetoric was being pushed, people are going to fight back and anything was going to be interesting about this is to see what donald trump does and what ron desantis does in terms of the rhetoric they are pointing out because a lot of that rhetoric, not only does it inspire their voters, but it incites and mobilises people who have not voted and that is going to be a very interesting part. this is bbc news. ruth perry took her own life pile waiting for an off state report, the primary was being rated inadequate. inspectors raise concerns about how children

two teenagers died. the security camera footage shows kyrees sullivan and harvey evans just before the crash that killed them. and watch, behind at some distance, a police van which started following them at least two minutes earlier. police have reiterated they weren't pursuing the boys at the time they crashed. but we have had some further details. at the time of the collision, the police vehicle is in grand avenue, half a mile away from snowden road. 18:06:59, the police vehicle is on cowbridge road west when it receives information about a road traffic collision. offices illuminate blue lights and make their way to the collision scene. there was no police vehicle in snowden road at the time of the collision, and we believe there were no other vehicles involved in the incident. we have based this on witness accounts, tracking data and cctv. at one minute to 6pm, the boys were seen on frank road. we got these new images today showing them being followed by a police van.
12:20 am
at 6:01pm, they rode down stanway road. here's another new angle. if we zoom in, watch how the police van turns off to the left. the crash happened at two minutes past 6pm on snowden road. police were called a minute later. here at the end of stanway road, there are bollards and there's fencing, which boys could've ridden through on the bike but would've blocked the police. and it's only yards away to where they crashed on snowden road just over there. kyrees sullivan was 16, harvey evans 15. they'd known each other since they were young boys. their deaths hit everyone here, and the response sparked some of the worst rioting in recent memory. the south wales police commissioner this morning again reiterated what he'd been told. i was assured and i'm still assured they were not being chased by the police at the time of the road

moving to russia now, the defence minister has promised a harsh response to ukraine for border incursions. porter in eastern ukraine. 0ut border incursions. porter in eastern ukraine. out of the russian paramilitary group has said it carried out the red from ukraine in coordination with ukrainian military. however, the government in kyiv has consistently denied having anything to do with the incursion. 0ur russian editor for the russian military, it's been a nervous couple of days, but army chiefs were given the news the cross—border incursion had been crushed. and this warning from defence minister shoigu. translation: we will continue to respond to such actions - by ukrainian militants promptly and with extreme harshness. to make the point, the russians released this video.
12:23 am
allegedly it shows air strikes on the attackers who'd crossed over. but who were the militants? they weren't camera shy, that's for sure. as they drove through belgorod region, they filmed the incursion. they claim to be anti—putin paramilitaries — russians fighting on the side of ukraine. moscow says they're terrorists. ukraine says, "we didn't send them." really? they are entirely under the control of ukrainian military intelligence. there's no way they can operate. i mean, they rely on the ukrainians for their weapons, for their vehicles but, more to the point, for the fire support and the freedom to operate across the border. the kremlin will be relieved that the incursion has been repelled. moscow claims it killed dozens of militants. the groups that attacked deny that. president putin said this week, "these are difficult times for russia." that is an understatement. this month alone, we've seen
12:24 am
explosions over the kremlin, an apparent drone attack, there have been drone attacks on several russian regions close to the ukrainian border, bombs on the railways. and now, embarrassingly for the kremlin, this large—scale military incursion into russian territory from ukraine. but if you think that will give vladimir putin pause for thought, think again. the kremlin has already made it clear that what it calls the special military operation, its war on ukraine, will continue. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. let's ta ke let's take some time to remember the legend tina turner and some of her hits.— and some of her hits. when you were a young — and some of her hits. when you were a young boy _ and some of her hits. when you were a young boy that - and some of her hits. when you were a young boy that you - and some of her hits. when you were a young boy that you have | were a young boy that you have a puppy were a young boy that you have a puppy that always followed you around

12:27 am
in the south of wales. this is how the weather looks for the day ahead. quite a lot of cloud at times across parts of england and wales, but not all the time. northern ireland, i think, will tend to see a fair amount of cloud feeding in as well, but there'll be some spells of sunshine. i think the best of the sunshine will be found across the northern half of scotland, but in the far north, it will be windy and on the chilly side at 11 in lerwick. as i've already shown you, the highest temperatures will be in shelter across south wales, maybe south—west england, up to around 22 degrees. now during thursday night, we'll keep some areas of cloud here and there. there could be a few mist patches and a more generally cloudy weather will spill into the far west of scotland, particularly the western isles, with the odd spot of rain. it mayjust turn a little bit chilly in places, temperatures typically between 5 and 9 degrees, but our area of high pressure still with us as we head on into friday. around the southern flank of that high, particularly across parts of south—east england, we are going to have a noticeable
12:28 am
northeasterly breeze which will make it feel actually really quite chilly if you're spending your day on the east coast. but england, wales, northern ireland, southern scotland seeing some spells of sunshine. northern scotland likely to have a bit more in the way of cloud, maybe just the odd spot of rain or drizzle. 14 degrees for stornoway, but 20 for glasgow, for liverpool, for birmingham, and 21 degrees in cardiff. and then for the weekend, well, again, around some of the coasts, if you're exposed to that onshore breeze, it will at times feel rather cool. but where you have some shelter, inland and down towards the south—west of the uk, temperatures climbing to 22 degrees.
