as part of a ceasefire deal has been delayed for unspecified reasons. president trump delivered a speech at the conservative political action conference, highlighting the achievements he also expressed hope for ending the war for europe to have a seat at the negotiating table to help end the war with russia. hello, i'm karin giannone. we begin with that breaking news from the vatican,

the 88—year—old is being treated for pneumonia at a hospital in rome. the vatican says he remains "alert" but is also in a "critical condition". the latest from the vatican. the pope himself has asked for openness and transparency about the state of his health, and so we've been getting condition and he's still, as the statement says, not out of danger. respiratory crisis this morning, which required extra oxygen. because tests showed that he had anaemia. so those are two quite significant developments, i think. they say, though, that the pope is still alert. they say he is suffering,

he's in more pain than he was so stressing, i think, the fact that he is still alert, extremely serious. and they were quite upbeat. you know, the words were serious, but their tone was was jovial almost. they said that the pope was joking, that he was in good spirits, and they also said for the very first time that, in fact, he was responding to medication. they said at that point, though, that the situation was a delicate balance and that anything additional so tonight, stressing that the pope is in a critical

the day in his armchair. he is not bedridden. the release of 602 palestinian prisoners and detainees from israeli facilities under last year's ceasefire of the release as a "blatant violation" of the truce. eliya cohen, omer shem tov and omer wenkert were also handed over. these are pictures of two of the hostages, reuniting the first was omer wenkert

who was taken hostage mengistu, who had been held in gaza since 2014. the final hostage to be released today was hisham al—sayed who was handed over privately in gaza city. this is a photojust released by hamas. the idf says he went to hospital by helicopter, accompanied by his family. earlier this week was not that of shiri bibas, as they had claimed. herfamily has since said a new body handed paul adams has the latest.

six more hostages home alive. in gaza, more choreographed displays of defiance and firepower as the hostages emerged for the first time. two others held for a decade. from the same house — tal the last to return. at kibbutz be�*eri, close to gaza, the house and they were all hamas gunmen killed over 100 kibbutz members here,

but in a place famously full of peaceniks, ayelet dares to hope for a betterfuture. stay and live in gaza. so you can imagine a situation in which you live yes, i'm going to come back here. i think we should really start talking about it and not fighting about it. today should have the today should have seen the largest release of palestinian prisoners, of buses was largest release of palestinian prisor to ;, of buses was largest release of palestinian prisor to collect of buses was largest release of palestinian prisor to collect over buses was largest release of palestinian prisor to collect over 150, s was largest release of palestinian prisor to collect over 150, but|s ready to collect over 150, but it has not happened. 0n the

i want them to give us something for of the something for all of the money we put up of the money that we put up. and i'm going to try and get all that death ended. it's not fair. and we better be close to a deal. was at the conference. this was really a victory lap for president trump, and he was at his most comfortable speaking in front of a room full

of his supporters. a blizzard of executive actions, reforming the federal government, cracking down on the border. and of course, one of them was talking about the war in ukraine and what he was doing about that. he said that he had spoken to president putin and president zelensky. and crucially, he said that he was trying to get his money back. military aid that they supplied, in the biden administration, to ukraine. now, president trump has said that he wants to get natural and he also called the ukrainian president a dictator.

so this is really his reaction to it. but it wasn't the main focus of his speech, his address. it was almost a shopping list of everything that he's done. challenges and roadblocks that he's facing. but that's exactly what got this crowd so excited. yes. and, merlyn, exactly as you say, he went through achievement after achievement, in his and then he went into that, "we've done this, we've done that". there was a lot about what he was doing to yes. so he gave an actual shout—out to elon musk, his unelected adviser and leader of the department of government efficiency. and he called him a patriot.

you need to know about him is that he is a patriot. and again about the federal government, about cutting down and reshaping the federal government. and in recent days, we've heard outcry about such a thing. elon musk appeared at this very conference just and the crowd here really reacted to that. to hear about everything that president trump was saying government and reshaping it. going on at cpac? i know this was the keynote address and this is the last

day of that conference. tsar, tom homan as well. we also heard from giorgia meloni, the leader of italy as well. and the theme really has just been a victory lap for this new administration, just a month in to the new on the border and putting america first, and also talking about tariffs. about some tax cuts as well. and that will be interesting for people here to hear about, people were thinking about when they went to the polling booths to vote and, so far, that is probably one of the things that he's talked about the least. marilyn thomas at cpac.

must be at the negotiating table to end the war and ensure from europe's security". downing street says sir keir told mr zelensky his country mr trump has been urging mr zelensky to strike a mineral deal with the us but media in the uk are reporting melinda haring — nonresident seniorfellow the mineral deal is next. mineral deal that he considered earlier in the week and he rejected, and it doesn't have security guarantees in the deal.

basically the us makes out like a bandit, ukraine doesn't get very much out of it. to sign this. to ukraine since the war started three years ago, the deal is still under wraps. so i'm not going to go into all the details, very transactional. here in the uk, police are searching for a driver after a three—year—old girl was killed in a crash the driver of the van fled the scene in mosley street and officers say they are following several lines

of inquiry to locate him. 0ur reporter meghan 0wen has more. this happened at a busy junction, particularly on a saturday morning, in the centre of the city on a narrow street. in fact, it is pretty close to the manchester art gallery. are ongoing and as of yet there are no arrests that have been made. to public transport, with many roads being closed and systems delayed or cancelled. now, we have heard from a number of according to manchester

city council, shocking crash. who say, "our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the little girl as well". but in the meantime, the police investigation continues. been seriously injured in a knife attack, according the bare facts seem pretty clear that there was and it seems that this man

launched his knife attack in the demonstration. and then another person, it seems, tried to intervene, the man is under arrest and in detention, and it's been so this has been classified as a terrorist attack. that the man was subject to a deportation order. he was on a kind of watch list for radicalisation and was subject to a deportation order to algeria. the german car giant bmw says it's delaying a multi—million minis at its plant in oxford. facing the uk car industry.

even the future king was impressed. to china and plans to bring it back have now been they aren't cancelled. bmw says it's reviewing the timeline, but it won't take a £60 million government grant to support the switch. it's clearly a blow for the uk car industry, and it reflects the fact that demand for electric vehicles so car companies are slowing down their investments and their shift over, and that's not what the government wants. the government wants to see rapid take—up of electric vehicles and investment in the uk, and at the moment that isn't happening. drivers worry that there aren't

enough charging points, that the cars themselves are too expensive, and they don't go far enough before you have to charge them up again. and all those things mean manufacturers are saying that they can't sell as many electric cars as the government says they have to. its van plant in luton last year, it said electric vehicle sales targets were a factor. the industry says that's too tough. the government says it recognises the challenge manufacturers face. a fast—track consultation on those rules finished this be easy to achieve. ben king, bbc news. i to give you an on the health of the pope. he
