court in manhattan. i spoke to her a little earlier. what has the scene been like in manhattan? so much interest in this case. absolutely, and carl, there was such a dramatic parade of luigi mangione in front of the cameras as he was handed back to new york — it's something i've frankly not seen in the past. of course, he is a special kind of defendant, given the circumstances of the alleged crime. but he was flown to new york, taken off the helicopter, and flanked by heavily—armed law enforcement from several agencies, followed by new york mayor eric adams, then brought straight to that federal courthouse. i can tell you that, outside the federal courthouse, there were several people who supported him holding up signs, one of them that said "health over wealth." so, he remains a folk hero to some, but for prosecutors in new york, they have branded him a terrorist.

nada, four new federal charges now. just walk us through what happens next. well, certainly investigators are building up their case, and in the federal complaint, there were complaints about the notebook he carried, made a month—and—a—half before he allegedly killed brian thompson, talking about how he wanted to whack a ceo from one of the big insurance companies, that it would be a perfect target to send a message. what happens now is he did not enter a plea in this arraignment, so he'll have to come back into court in mid january, we will then get further details about how and what a trial would look like and if he would try to seek bail. earlier i spoke to sarah krissoff, former us federal prosecutor and former assistant us attorney in the southern district of new york.

i believe you are pretty familiar with the courthouse. walk us through some of the details. he is facing federal charges now as well.- details. he is facing federal charges now as well. that was a surprising _ charges now as well. that was a surprising turn. _ charges now as well. that was a surprising turn. i— charges now as well. that was a surprising turn. i have _ charges now as well. that was a surprising turn. i have handed i surprising turn. i have handed a lot of violent crime court cases, in the crime unit prosecuting not quite this high—profile of the case but many murderers and fairy interesting turn of events here to see the federal charges come down and a tug—of—war between the state and the feds about how this will play out. if the state and the feds about how this will play out.- how this will play out. if you were a prosecutor— how this will play out. if you were a prosecutor in - how this will play out. if you were a prosecutor in this - how this will play out. if you i were a prosecutor in this case, how would you handle something with so much attention? this is such a high—profile case now and so much attention being paid to the defendant as well with people on social media even calling him a hero? the first thing — even calling him a hero? the first thing the _ even calling him a hero? ““iia: first thing the federal prosecutors did hear was a speaking indictment. instead of

just bears —— barebones indictment laying other charges, they laid out background information because they know the public is wanting to understand what is behind this and they know there has been so much attention on this act, so that is the first thing they did, but they know, and frankly, they are used to this, that every action they will take every step of the way, they will be scrutinised by the public, the press and everyone will be following the actions of the prosecutors and they will need to do everything correctly and very carefully. when you look at the evidence itself and the trial that will be proceeding now in new york, where does it stand? is there a pretty strong case against luigi mangione? key this is a case critically with the death penalty is on the table, a

series of events that centre around whether or not the death penalty will be sought. == penalty will be sought. -- particularly- _ penalty will be sought. » particularly. takes many months and the district attorney decides on whether the death penalty will be taken or not, strong case for the prosecution and the defence team is thinking about mitigation here, mitigation in connection with the possible application of the death penalty, mitigation in terms of is there a resolution short of a trial? that everybody can live with? around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. a 26—year—old man accused of murdering three members of the family of the bbc racing commentatorjohn hunt has been further charged with rape. kyle clifford pleaded not guilty to stabbing to death mr hunt's wife, carol, at their home in bushey in hertfordshire in july. he also denied killing

the couple's daughters. four teenagers have beenjailed for life for the murders of two friends, max dixon and mason rist, who were killed in a case of mistaken identity. riley tolliver, who is 18, and kodi—shai westcott, who is 17, will serve minimum terms of 23 years for the stabbing. the other two teenagers, who cannot be named for legal reasons, will serve at least 15 and 18 years behind bars. eight people have been hurt after a double—decker bus crashed into a railway bridge tearing its roof off in kilmarnock. emergency services were called to the collision. it comes just days after another double—decker bus crashed into a railway bridge in glasgow, leaving one man in critical condition in hospital in that incident. you're live with bbc news. a court in france found 51 men guilty in a mass rape trial that sent shock waves around the world. all but two of the men are now

injailfor what they did to one woman — 72—year—old gisele pelicot. her ex—husband got the longest sentence, 20 years, for drugging his wife and allowing dozens of strangers to rape her repeatedly over a 10—year period. gisele pelicot said she waived her right to anonymity during the 3—month trial so that society could see what was happening. our correspondent andrew harding sent this report from outside the court in avignon. the accused arrived early at court, faces masked as usual. some with their prison bags already packed. but the crowd here in avignon and the forest of cameras were not here for the men. this trial has in so many ways now become all about this woman — gisele pelicot. herface at least seemed serene this morning. the rape victim who refused to feel shame. inside the crowded courtroom,

the judge quickly got on with the business of the day — verdicts first, then sentencing for all 51 men. dominique pelicot sat quietly in his glass cage as thejudge turned to address him. translation: the defendants will stand up in turn _ to hear the verdicts. mr pelicot first. the court finds him guilty of aggravated rape. inside the courtroom here, the verdicts have been coming at a furious pace. guilty, guilty, guilty. dominique pelicot has just stood up to be told that he will be sentenced to 20 years in prison, the maximum here in france for rape. he showed no emotion, nor did his former wife, gisele, sitting quietly on the other side of the courtroom. outside the courthouse, some people celebrated the news. crowd chants but others were angry that many of the men got lighter sentences than anticipated. "shame," they shouted.

back inside, dominique pelicot�*s lawyer told me her client was considering an appeal. i asked what his mood was like. "fatalistic," she replied. "the way he's always been throughout the trial." and then, after a pause, gisele pelicot emerged to give her reaction. translation: it is with deep emotion that i speak - to you today. i want to express my deep gratitude for all who have supported me. i drew from it the strength to come back every day to face these long days of hearings. i wanted to open the doors of this trial last september so society would see what is happening. i have never regretted this decision. i have

confidence now in our capacity collectively to find a better future in which men and women alike can live harmoniously together with respect and mutual understanding. thank you. it's half a century now since the pelicots met and fell in love. she described him as a perfect husband. but at a supermarket in 2020, dominique pelicot was caught in this footage filming up women's skirts. police soon discovered computer files, with other videos, proving he'd been inviting dozens of strangers to rape his wife after he drugged her. translation: mr pelicot desired total control over his wife. - he wanted to reduce her to an object, a possession to be used for his satisfaction. then he could lend this object to other people. and to do all of that,

he needed to drug her. and this was not his first crime. dna evidence soon proved pelicot had begun attacking women years earlier. he also took indecent images of his daughter caroline, who was in court today, along with her two brothers. she's convinced her father also raped her. this afternoon, pelicot and most of the other rapists were taken away to begin their sentences. there was a moment of tension outside when one of the defence lawyers taunted the crowd, calling them hysterical, then swearing at them. here comes gisele pelicot now, leaving the courthouse for the last time. she has achieved something quite extraordinary here. this courageous public stance — the impact of that will surely ripple through society here, perhaps for decades. she could,

like most rape victims, have chosen to remain anonymous at the trial. instead, listen to the reaction she now receives. cheering she wanted to change attitudes, and perhaps she has. singing "rise up," they sing. and with that, madame pelicot, engulfed by gratitude, walks on. andrew harding, bbc news. president putin delivered a carefully honed, positive message at his marathon end—of—year press conference on russia's role in syria, in ukraine and on his own contribution, in his words, to pulling russia back from the abyss. that last answer was in response to a question by the bbc�*s steve rosenberg, who brings you this report. it would have been hard not to notice vladimir putin today. his marathon, end—of—year event was live on all the main

tv channels in russia. it was half phone—in, half press conference. he used it to make his first public comments on events in syria, with a message for those calling the fall of assad a blow to russia. translation: whoever would like to portray russia as weakened, i would like to recall the words of a famous person and writer, who once said, "the reports "of my death are greatly exaggerated." a message too for donald trump — putin was ready for talks, any time. after more than four hours, it was my turn to ask a question. "exactly 25 years ago," i said, "when boris yeltsin resigned "and handed you power, he told you, take care of russia. "but what of the significant losses suffered in your "so—called special military operation in ukraine "and the ukrainian troops now in russia's kursk region,

"and sanctions and high inflation? "do you think you've taken care of russia?" translation: yes, i haven't just taken care of it. - i think we've pulled back from the edge of the abyss. with everything that was happening to russia before that, we were heading towards a complete, total loss of our sovereignty, and without sovereignty, russia cannot exist as an independent state. from the public, there were video messages asking putin to fix their everyday problems. from the president, there was praise for russian soldiers fighting against ukraine. so, what did we learn from four hours of live televised putin? that in his mind, he can't put a foot wrong. events in syria are not a defeat. the war in ukraine is going russia's way. yes, putin admits there are problems, but the whole point

of this event was to convince russians that he has the solutions. and when it was over, well, it wasn't over for me. i was mobbed by russian media wanting my reaction, and in this case, and in this case, accusing me of a provocation. accusing me of a provocation. this is what happens this is what happens if you've managed if you've managed to ask the kremlin leader to ask the kremlin leader a question. steve rosenberg, a question. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. bbc news, moscow. thousands of amazon workers are on strike today, thousands of amazon workers are on strike today, just days before the busy just days before the busy holiday shopping season. holiday shopping season. workers across seven workers across seven us warehouses walked out us warehouses walked out of their shifts early of their shifts early after amazon ignored a sunday after amazon ignored a sunday deadline set by the union for unions in the united states, deadline set by the union for fresh contract negotiations. fresh contract negotiations. workers say the online workers say the online retail giant has refused retail giant has refused to recognise the union. to recognise the union. earlier this week, earlier this week, a congressional investigation a congressional investigation found that amazon pushes its found that amazon pushes its us warehouse workers to fulfil us warehouse workers to fulfil orders at speeds that could orders at speeds that could cause high rates of injury. cause high rates of injury. the e—commerce giant responded, the e—commerce giant responded, saying the report was "wrong saying the report was "wrong

"on the facts" and featured "on the facts" and featured outdated information. one of the most powerful labour outdated information.

they are out on strike claiming they're not getting enough wages and their working conditions are harsh. many years, just talked about those conditions. we've heard the report by the government. there's an element of this about working conditions too within amazon? absolutely, amazon made huge profits during the pandemic when many people were not going out shopping. they were relying on the amazon warehouse workers and drivers to deliver their goods. although they were at that point celebrated as essential workers, indeed, amazon workers have not been well treated in the warehouses and in the trucks. so we see this national wave of organising and strikes is quite unprecedented.

amazon hasn't exactly been viewed as union friendly. how do you think the involvement of the teamsters could shift the tide in terms of unionising more workers at amazon? the teamsters represent one of the largest unions in the country and also one of the most aggressive unions when it comes to organising. historically, they have represented truck drivers coast to coast and they have lifted substantially the wages and benefits over the years. amazon is a fiercely anti—union corporation and has refused to recognise the unions even when there have been union election victories. this is now a national campaign to pressure amazon to recognise the teamsters as the union representing workers in this warehouse. before we go, another live look at capitol hill
