and getting by with a little help from al — paul mccartney reveals how technology is putting john lennon's voice onto a final beatles record. live from our studio in singapore... this is bbc news. it's newsday. welcome to bbc news — broadcasting to viewers in the uk and around the world. we begin in miami, florida, where the former president donald trump has appeared in court, pleading not guilty to 37 federal criminal charges. they relate to the mishandling of classified documents after leaving office. during the hearing, several hundred of mr trump's supporters gathered outside the courthouse, along with a number

of opposing demonstrators. mr trump is now on his way to newjersey to address his supporters. our reporter helena humphrey has more from outside the courthouse in miami. well, monica, if you take a look behind me outside the federal courthouse in miami, you'll see a quieter scene than those that you probably see all day where we had trump supporters outnumbering those who oppose him at times some kind of tense moments between them. but now a much quieter scene, just a few straggling protesters. one man who had a make america great again flag over his shoulder, shouting to tell me, and of course, this is florida. it's a red state. it's a state that has voted in favour of president trump on two occasions. but thankfully, no violent scenes, really — some chaos, but no violent scenes that some people have been concerned about based on some rhetoric

and corners of the internetm and nothing like the 50,000 people either that authorities had been bracing for. but despite that, still very much an historic day here in miami. and our north america editor, sarah smith, sent this report. the roads were cleared to make way for donald trump's way for donald trump's motorcade. with the outriders and the flashing lights, this is all becoming a familiar pattern. cheering as for the second time in as many months, he appears in court on criminal charges. this federal case, by far the more serious donald trump has just arrived. he's inside the courthouse now being fingerprinted, having a dna swab taken, although no mugshot photograph. the court hearing itself will be short and entirely routine, yet at the same time, unprecedented, historic and with lasting political significance. so far, complaining that he's being targeted unfairly seems to be boosting trump's ratings. the people in charge of this

country do not love america. they hate donald trump. what we are witnessing today is the blatant and unapologetic weaponization of the criminaljustice system. law enforcement was braced for thousands of trump supporters. more like 100 devoted fans turned up. and they're certain, like many republican voters nationwide, that the former president is being persecuted by political enemies. he unclassified his papers. they're his belonging. they belong to him. do you worry that he could end up being convicted? no. this sends a chilling political message to the rest of the world that we here in america will indict people running for president in order to make political moves. will he end up being president again in 202a? oh. — yeah, yeah, for sure. 100%. the lengthy, detailed indictment contains these photos published by prosecutors to show that they do have significant evidence. documents containing nuclear

secrets and sensitive military plans were stored on stage in a ballroom used for public events in a bathroom stacked up by the shower. a classified document among these papers spilled on the floor. there's also an audio recording of mr trump showing documents to several other people saying... why? that's the question. why is a country going to have to go through all this angst and tumult? unscheduled stop gave donald trump the chance to greet sympathetic supported.

to play the time, try to delay. this is something that he has donein this is something that he has done in legal cases in the past. he thinks perhaps that this could be his best defence. he knows the department of justice would not indict a sitting president. that is what we may inspect in terms of the next steps. he told political he's turned it —— he told politico he intends to run in 2024 even if indicted, even if committed. it's worth pointing out there is in the us constitution that would prevent him from doing so. we're expecting to hear from donald trump in about an hour. these charges are the most serious he faces, but they come in the midst of a series of other ongoing cases against him, as our analysis editor ros atkins can explain. today's court appearance is significant on several fronts. this is a federal prosecution. it's the us department ofjustice charging a former president with multiple crimes. that's never happened before. then there's the 37 charges over alleged mishandling

of classified documents. put together, they could come with a substantial prison term — all very serious. but as well as this, trump faces legal challenges in locations across the us. first of all, in new york, where in april he faced charges connected to alleged hush money payments to the former porn star stormy daniels. in may, a jury in a civil case ordered trump to pay a magazine columnist $5 million for sexually assaulting her in the �*90s. and there's an ongoing new york state civil case accusing trump of business fraud. in all three, donald trump denies any wrongdoing — but there's more. in washington, a federal investigation continues to scrutinize trump's role in the capitol riots. then in georgia, an investigation is considering if he sought to tamper with the 2020 election. or to put all of this another way — by next year, donald trump could be facing even more criminal cases. now, at the weekend,

he declared, "i will never be detained." but there's no doubt the federal charges being heard in florida raise the stakes. mr trump's former attorney general, bill barr, argues if even half of it's true, he's toast. maybe, but despite all of his legal problems, trump is still strong favourite to win the republican presidential nomination. and even if he were found guilty of one crime or more, even if he were jailed, he can still run for and become president. that we're considering such scenarios is a measure of the remarkable moment that american politics has reached. well, a little ealier, i spoke to jared mondschein, director of research at the universit of sydney united states studies centre. i started by asking him how this court appearance

could either harm or help the former president.. the former president. legally, it's been fantastically for him. he's running for president and a lot of republicans are afraid to say that this is bad for him. if anything, they are aligning behind him and supporting him. privately, they'll say the last thing they want to do, but politically, they have no choice. he has pretty solid support and now he's seen over the last couple weeks a number of his republican opponents also running for president saying, "we support president trump in these legal challenges." politically, he's doing well, but legally, that's another matter altogether. in another matter altogether. in order to win the presidency in the united states, you need to sway other people. you have the people who will always support him, like the people that we saw in miami that had the signs for him. but there's a lot of undecided voters in the united states, so how, afterfacing

legal challenges like this, does he do that?- legal challenges like this, does he do that? right. so, what you — does he do that? right. so, what you seen _ does he do that? right. so, what you seen since - does he do that? right. so, l what you seen since president trump was elected in 2016, you then have the midterms in 2018 and the presidential election in 2020. midterms again in 2022. three elections in a row, he has not done very well. after overcoming the odds and defeating all the... as you said, i think that indicates that he really has not done too well. as you said, this is all per unprecedented. does your average motor want to see the republican nominee running for president face jail time because of classified documents? a number of even conservative scholarships said if they did what president trump did with those documents, they would undoubtedly be facing serious jail time for many years. but because he's a former president, because no

former president, because no former us president has faced federal charges like this, we're in really uncharted territory. the issue i think it is for my own point of view, these documents and whether the not in obeying laws, is that something americans want to see a former president face jail time for? there are other legal matters that i think may have more significant consequences for president, including the other matter that jack smith, the prosecutor is looking into, including january the 6th as well as election interference in georgia. those get to the heart of democracy. i think far more so than classified document retention. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. more than 150 people have died in nigeria after a boat returning from a wedding sank in a river. the vessel was taking people in kwara state from neighbouring niger state. police say a search and rescue operation is taking place, but the number of dead may rise further.

the us inflation rate has fallen for the 11th month in a row to 4%. the figures have raised hopes that the federal reserve will not raise interest rates later this week. but the update by the us labor department also showed that prices in many parts of the economy are still rising steadily. malaysia is seeking interpol�*s helpin tracking down help in tracking down a new york—based comedian who made a joke about the missing malaysia airlines flight mh370. the comedianjocelyn chia, who was born in singapore, made what she intended to be humorous remarks about the airliner which disapeared in 2014. these were posted online and have led to a backlash in malaysia. the acclaimed american author cormac mccarthy has died at the age of 89. many of his dark and often violent novels focused on life on the frontier in the us south—west. his best known works include "all the pretty horses",

"no country for old men" and "the road" — all of which were made into films. (audio tag) a developing story in the uk — police in nottinghum say they're working to establish the motive for the attack which left three people dead and three others wounded. two 19—year—old students and a man in his 50s were stabbed to death. a 31—year—old man has been arrested. 0ur midlands correspondent navteonhal reports. police raids in a city reeling from the shock of a major incident that has left three people dead and three injured. this is where it all began. two 19—year—old students died here on ilkeston road in the early hours of the morning. an eyewitness saw a young man and a young woman being stabbed before the attacker walked off towards the city centre. police say they believe the suspect then stole a van from a man in his 50s,

who was also found dead from knife injuries. they say he drove the vehicle to the city centre, where he then drove at members of the public. an eyewitness says she saw a van which hit pedestrians. a woman went on the curb. the man went up in the air with such a bang. i wish i never saw it, cos it's really shaken me up. three people were injured in the city centre. one of them is in a critical condition in hospital. this is believed to be the van that was used. the emergency services responded by flooding into the area, closing roads and the city's entire tram network. police have arrested a 31—year—old man on suspicion of murder, and he remains in police custody. they say they aren't looking for anyone else at this time. a student in the city says he saw police just before the arrest. and i see a police van, a police car even, and a police

officer walking alongside the car as it was slowly approaching a white van which had been parked down the road. and then i heard the policeman shout to the guy in the van, "get out of the car", and then proceeded by the sound of a gunshot. the home secretary said police were still working out why this attack took place. we need to allow the police . the time and the space to carry out all of their- operational activity to determine the motive. it's right that nottinghamshire police are working with - counterterrorism policing. but it's also fair to say that - everybody and all professionals on the front line are keeping an open mind as to what the precise motive might have been. one of the victims has been named as barnaby webber from taunton in somerset. this evening, a vigil took place in their memory at a church in nottingham. one of those attending had a family connection with one of them.

one of the students that was sadly killed was one of the best friends of my brother's girlfriend, so i've just been on the phone to him and her to offer my my condolences, and they're devastated. the centre of nottingham is much quieter tonight. the police cordons have been lifted around here. details about this incident have unfolded slowly, but on a tragic day for the city, people here are left asking the question — why did this happen? navteonhal, bbc news, nottingham. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. today is notjust another day on the farm at the dairy in godminster. that's thanks to chirrup, a system that picks up the sounds of birds and logs them by species to build a picture of who's flying in and who's flying out. pretty much like having a real

human sitting here 24/7, listening when we tell it to listen. so, if you can hear a skylark or yellowhammer from the trees over there, so can that. the artificial intelligence part of chirrup is that it learns which birds make which sounds and build an increasingly detailed database. it means the system becomes more and more capable of assessing what it picks up. a healthy wild bird population is key to a healthy farm, and it isn'tjust monitoring for the sake of it. ai is having a growing impact on how we farm and can be found everywhere from tracking trends in data collected from the movements of dairy cattle, to keeping a tractor moving in a straight line. you're live with bbc news. now to the war in ukraine, where russian president vladimir putin made a rare admission that his military is short of some high—precision weaponry. mr putin also claimed that ukraine's counter—offensive

has not made progress and that the ukrainians have suffered heavy losses. the head of nato, jens stoltenberg, has given a very different appraisal, saying ukraine is making advances. we have our own reporter that is going to the site. james waterhouse, our ukraine correspondent, has been given access to one of the areas ukrainian forces have just re—ta ken. a journey to a new front line. only the military can take us this far. anatoly is leading the way. he's fought against russian aggression in these parts for nine years — a battle—hardened soldier who knows this patch. he speeds along scarred roads. it's soon clear russian forces are far from gone. "rockets," he says, "and they're going to hit us soon." so now, anatoly is putting his foot down.

we are speeding through, because over the hill are russian forces, but they've just retreated, too. we've heard outgoing mortar fire, and what goes out typically comes back. we've just seen incoming fire a few hundred metres away. the russians are on higher positions in three directions. this is the village of neskuchne, and it's exposed. its name means "not boring" in ukrainian — an obvious irony for a place part of the russian front line until three days ago. one of seven settlements recaptured with the start of ukraine's counteroffensive. the battalion involved lost six men in the process, they say. it's not known how many russians have been killed. "we chased them out," says artem. "this village was under occupation for one and a half years. these are ukrainian lands."

it's not known how many russians have been killed. this is what we are talking about with these liberations — villages where there isn't anyone left, where buildings have either been destroyed or riddled with bullet holes, suggesting close—quarter fighting. and it's obvious the russians are trying to take back what was lost. there's heavy artillery overhead, and this is territory still being closely contested. all chanting ukraine is hoping to replicate scenes like this elsewhere. but they can be reversed. in this neighbouring town. the russians pushed back before being repelled again last night. but they're going to have to do it on a much greater scale to achieve their goal, their dream of complete liberation. if neskuchne is anything to go by, it may well be complicated and costly. james waterhouse, bbc news, neskuchne, in eastern ukraine. let's take a look at some of the stories in the headlines in the uk.

the investigation into the uk government's handling of the covid—19 pandemic has ended its first day. the first public hearings focused on how prepared britain was for a viral outbreak. the lead lawyer said that "very little thought" was given about what the impact of a national lockdown could be. the uk's police watchdog is investigating two officers for possible gross misconduct over an e—bike crash that killed two teenagers in cardiff. the officers drove a van which was seen following the bike shortly before it crashed. the deaths of 16—year—old kyrees sullivan and 15—year—old harvey evans sparked a riot in the ely area. a mother and her partner have been convicted of killing her nine—year—old son, who died after being submerged in a cold bath at their house in worcestershire. carla scott was found guilty of the manslaughter of alfie steele, while dirk howell was convicted of murder. mps have launched an investigation into school inspections in

england and their impact on staff and pupils. the schools watchdog 0fsted announced some changes, but has faced criticism since the suicide of a head teacher whose primary school was being downgraded from outstanding to inadequate. in a bbc interview, sir paul mccartney has revealed that artificial intelligence has helped takejohn lennon's voice from a demo tape and put it into a song that he said will be the final beatles record. the song is yet to be released, and even its name is not yet known, but the news comes five decades after the beatles break—up. our music correspondent, mark savage, reports. cheering it's 60 years since beatlemania swept the uk. john lennon and george harrison are no longer with us, but paul mccartney says the band will release a new song this year

with a little help from artificial intelligence. the song started out in the 1970s withjohn lennon sat at a piano like this in his apartment in new york, singing into a tape recorder. 0n the cassette, his voice is mixed with the sound of the piano chords and the buzz of the electricity. but new software, trained on original recordings of his voice, means we can take those sounds away and be left with the pure audio of lennon's voice. they tell the machine, "this is a voice, this is a guitar, lose the guitar". so, when we came to make what would be the last beatles record, we were able to take john's voice and get it pure through this ai so we could mix the record as we normally would do. paul mccartney didn't name the song, but it's thought to be a mournful ballad that the beatles made a failed attempt to record.

since then, the technology for extracting audio has become much more sophisticated and it isn'tjust the beatles who have access to it. i have a feeling this is the first we'll see of many beatles tracks we will see created by fans, perhaps even more created by paul mccartney himself. it alljust depends on the public's appetite for this kind of music and what it is they want to hear, but really, the possibilities of this technology are endless. and that's a prospect that could keep the beatles' lawyers in business for years to come. mark savage, bbc news. i want to take you to some live pictures now a of newjersey. the former president has pleaded not guilty to 37 federal criminal charges. this is the scene where he'll be speaking in under an hour. the charges he faces relate to the mishandling of classified documents after leaving office.

that is all we have for you now on newsday. they would bbc news. i'm monica miller, thank you for watching. hello there. a number of places saw the temperature reach 30 celsius on tuesday. we saw 31 celsius in porthmadog in northwest wales, making it the warmest day there so far for wales. next few days, high pressure will continue to bring a lot of dry, sunny, warm weather, but we are losing the humidity, so we'll be a little bit fresher, more comfortable and certainly cool and fresher during the overnight periods. now, high pressure sitting towards scandinavia will bring a fine day for wednesday. light onshore breezes affecting eastern england — that will bring temperatures down somewhat. could just see an isolated shower, western scotland, perhaps northern ireland. but most places will be

dry and we'll see those temperatures reaching the mid to upper 20 celsius. but always cooler along north sea coast — 20—22 or 23 degrees there. as we head through wednesday night, see a little bit of mist and fog develop once again. most places will be dry, any showers fading away and temperatures ranging from around 19—14 degrees. again, humidity will be lower, so a more comfortable night for sleeping. so, for thursday, then, we start off a little bit of mist and fog here and there. otherwise, it's another dry, sunny day with a little bit of fairweather cloud into the afternoon. again, just a chance of an isolated shower developing across some western areas. most places, though, will remain dry. and again, with that onshore breeze, it's much cooler along north sea coasts — along north sea coasts — 21 degrees there. 21 degrees there. it's the mid to high 20s. it's the mid to high 20s. elsewhere now, we start to see elsewhere now, we start to see some changes as we push some changes as we push towards the end of the week, this area of low pressure starts to move into western areas. that could bring a few showers, but high pressure continues to bring fine and dry weather for most of the country for friday. we've lost the onshore

breeze, so will be warmer along north sea coasts. winds will be light across the board. lots of sunshine into the afternoon, but a chance of some showers or thunderstorms pushing into the far west later in the day. but again, those temperatures mid to high 20s for most of us — very pleasantly warm and less humid. as we head into the weekend, though, it does look like this area of low pressure becomes a bit more established across the western side of the country. a few showers could get towards the east as well, but it's always bumping up against that area of high pressure, so it could take its while to reach more southern and eastern areas. but you can see it's an unsettled theme for the weekend and indeed even into next week, but for the best part, it should stay on the warm side.

for an 11th straight month.

the us federal reserve kicks off its two—day policy meeting and hopes are high that authorities will pause their latest hiking cycle. plus, a deadline looms for businesses targeted by hackers reportedly based in russia. they have until today to begin negotiations. hello and welcome to asia business report. i'm monica miller. our top story this morning — wall street again closed in the green on tuesday after the latest data out of the us showed inflation cooled
