welcome to newsday. reporting from singapore. the governor of florida announces his 2024 presidential bid on twitter but it is marred by technical issues. you are simply the best! tributes paid to tina turner who has died at the age of 83. south wales police give more details about events leading to the deaths of two boys in cardiff, but their accounts lead to new questions.

welcome to the programme. florida governor ron desantis has officially announced that he will be running for us president in 202a. but his much—anticipated campaign launch on twitter was hit with a series of technical issues. to individuals who have done more to loosen... might have surprised many but not those who have worked with elon musk for nearly a quarter century. his freedom as putting money is were, elite institutions and corporate media and it's an incredible honour... ..to have governor ron desantis to make this announcement.

and after 25 minutes, the stream was reconnected for an official announcement prompted by moderator and tech entrepreneur david sachs. i think we have a record i audience assembled here and the biggest room - those probably have been assembled online and what would you like to tell them? _ i am running for president of the united states to lead our great american comeback. the live announcement may have been hit by technical glitches, but the video announcing his candidacy was released on twitter, let's have a listen. our border�*s a disaster, prime investor cities in the federal government makes it harderforfamilies to make ends meet and the president flounders.

but the client is a choice and success is obtainable and freedom is worth fighting for. righting the ship requires restoring sanity toward society. normalcy to our communities and integrity tour institutions. truth must be our foundation and common sense can no longer be an uncommon virtue. in florida, we proved that it can be done. we chose facts over fear, education over indoctrination, law and order over rioting and disorder. he held the line, freedom on the balance. we showed that we can and must revitalise america. we need the courage to lead and the strength to win. i am ron desantis and i am running for president to lead our great american comeback.

david willis, this was not the smooth launch we were expecting from ron desantis, what has been the reaction in the united states? it been the reaction in the united states? . . , �* states? it certainly wasn't. it was fraught _ states? it certainly wasn't. it was fraught with _ states? it certainly wasn't. it was fraught with glitches, . states? it certainly wasn't. it | was fraught with glitches, and only got under way after a 20 minute delay. ron desantis probablyjust minute delay. ron desantis probably just as embarrassed minute delay. ron desantis probablyjust as embarrassed as elon musk must have been about all that, those glitches, keeping ron desantis from his long promised announcement. when it came, we heard him rallying against such thing as law and order, the collapse there of, and immigrants flooding across the us mexico border. he also took aim at at what he called the woke mob and the teaching of gender identification in schools, something he has launched laws

aimed at deterring. this was ron desantis on the back foot, i think, particularly given his team has sought to portray him as an example of executive competence perhaps in stark contrast to his main rival in this contrast, donald trump. we heard from _ this contrast, donald trump. we heard from donald trump. usually incidents like this, he is raring to go on e—mail or some form of social media. absolutely. donald trump took to his own social media platform cruise social to condemn ron desantis for launching this presidential bid. he regards it as disloyal after he, donald trump, backed mrfor the governorship after he, donald trump, backed mr for the governorship of florida and took a lot of credit for seeing that mr desantis was elected. donald

trump has recently gone on the offensive. he said amongst other things that ron desantis needed, as he put it, a personality overhaul. you can expect that the trading barbs from one direction to the other is going to only intensify in the months leading up to the republican primaries.- republican primaries. david, thank you — republican primaries. david, thank you very _ republican primaries. david, thank you very much - republican primaries. david, thank you very much for - republican primaries. david, thank you very much for thati thank you very much for that update. he is 33 years younger than president trump. that's really tracking to me, it represents a whole new generation of republican leadership. he was in the us house of representatives before he went on to become governor of florida. during the pandemic

when we had the harshest restrictions in the us, there were many republican moderates praising governor desantis and he has had warm receptions in florida, south california, so there will be a lot of talks about his personality, his track record even, but we have to see the position he is in right now. it is that of an underdog, and i like that position for him because there is only up to go from here. in terms of the poles, and we are quite a way away from the us presidential election, but donald trump is a hard man to beat, so what will it take full ron desantis to edge in and try to break into that field and be competitive against a donald trump? competitive against a donald trum - ? ,, competitive against a donald trum? ,, ., , trump? sure, donald trump has been called _ trump? sure, donald trump has been called teflon _ trump? sure, donald trump has been called teflon don - trump? sure, donald trump has been called teflon don for- trump? sure, donald trump has been called teflon don for many| been called teflon don for many years, because it seems he

still enjoys great support from today's republican party writ large. but that's not entirely true. looking at the mid—terms in the past year, we have the evidence that trump is essentially the kiss of death for candidates in congressional races. so many candidates that he endorsed in trump world, they went on to lose in the primaries because they are so extreme. there are people who want anyone but trump, because it is the after trumpers that hold the power, people who voted for trump in 2016, 2020, but want somebody else now. desantis has a real opportunity to take their votes as time goes on. i don't think there's any reliable polling about where he stands, with the

republican electorate overall. now an american icon. # when you were a young boy that you have a puppy that always followed you around #. in america, the song was a

0fficers officers have confirmed they were following two teenagers whose deaths sparked a riot in cardiff. piece by piece, we're building a picture of what happened in the minutes before these 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. 0ffices 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. 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 traffic accident. assured by the police? yes, and there wasn't a police vehicle in the street where the accident took place. it's been proved they've been lying because lots of people have seen it... but there are witnesses here challenging that account. they came up the street, and there were being followed... would you call it a chase, a pursuit? i would. yes, it was fast. there are questions

for the police to answer. we know they have referred themselves to the independent investigation service. we must allow that to do itsjob. independent investigators from the police watchdog are here working out exactly what happened. and local detectives have their own investigations, too, into the disorder and the actions of their own officers leading up to it. danjohnson, bbc news, cardiff. you thought it was impossible to travel to every country in the world without taking a plane, but you might want to think again because someone has claim to dojust think again because someone has claim to do just that. a think again because someone has claim to dojust that. a danish adventurer has travelled the world by bus, train, car, boat, and by foot, and he told me about the biggest challenges he has spaced along the decade—long journey. has spaced along the decade—longjourney. it has spaced along the decade-long journey. decade-long “ourney. it has taken decade-long journey. it has

i am monica miller. with the rest of the news, visit our website. hello. the weather looks set to stay mostly fine and settled over the next few days, but there will be subtle differences in the feel of the weather from place to place. on wednesday, parts of south—east wales saw highs of 23 degrees. but on the east coast of england, yes, the sun was shining, but the breeze was coming in off a chilly sea and so it felt a little bit cooler. and over the next few days that will continue to be the case. high pressure will be in charge, but the winds around the high pressure flow in this clockwise direction. and that means that for some of us, at times, that wind will be coming in off the chilly waters of the sea. for thursday, temperatures around some northern and eastern coasts just 11 to 14 degrees. compare that with 22 again with some shelter

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 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.
