bnng and ensure fairness. let's just bring you an update on a situation in cumbria where a child has reportedly died after being hit by a car tonight on a sports pitch there, emergency crews reportedly rushed to kendal rugby club just before 5:00 around two hours ago, where two children were sadly struck by a bmw. one child, we understand, did not survive, another being treated by paramedics. we're also hearing that a man in his 40s has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, police say, though at this stage they believe that it is an isolated incident with no links to terrorism. any more developments we will bring to you. in other news tonight, the us has suspended intelligence sharing with ukraine, adding to an existing pause in military support in a move supported by trump's national security advisor and the head of the cia. but the freeze could end. mike waltz says president trump may restore military aid if ukraine and russia agree to peace talks. speaking to fox news, waltz said trump would take a hard look at

lifting the pause if negotiations move forward, and donald trump himself says he has received an important letter from zelenskyy suggesting ukraine is ready to negotiate as soon as possible. while addressing congress last night, he claimed there are now strong signals russia is also ready for peace. a woman has told a court she could have been abused by more than 200 men in rochdale, but says there was that many. it was hard to keep count. the complainant, known as girl a, says she was targeted from the age of 13 with her number passed between abusers, eight men, former market traders and taxi drivers are accused of preying on her and another girl allegedly plying them with drugs and alcohol, jurors heard. girl a first spoke to police in 2015, blaming herself for the time but now realising she says she was just a kid who knew no different. the men deny all charges, including rape and indecent assault and the trial continues this week. police are

launching an international appeal to trace more potential victims of serial rapist zhenghao zhao, one of the uk's most prolific predators. the chinese phd student has been convicted of attacking ten women, but officers fear he may have drugged and assaulted more than 50 others in both the uk and in china. he targeted young chinese women, luring them to his flat for drinks or study before drugging them. zhao filmed the attacks and kept footage and sometimes his victim's belongings. there you can see that that is the suspect there on your screen. well, billions in spending cuts, including to welfare, are expected in the chancellor's spnng expected in the chancellor's spring statement later this month. the treasury is submitting plans to the government's official forecaster today as concerns grow that rachel reeves financial buffer has disappeared. sources say the world has changed since october's budget, when the obr suggested she has nearly £10 billion to spend. those are the latest headlines for now.

another roundup from me in around an hour's time now, though, let's get straight back to nigel. >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code or go to gbnews.com/alerts. >> a big speech by donald trump to congress last night, not the official state of the union speech, but kind of pretty much the same thing. it all took place in the early hours of this morning, uk time. and boy, he's won. but he can't help but tease the democrats. have a look at this. >> look at the democrats in front of me. and i realise there is absolutely nothing i can say to make them happy. i could find a cure to the most devastating disease, or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history, or the stoppage of

crime to the lowest levels ever recorded. and these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements. >> well, that was donald trump very modestly talking about some of his achievements in the first 43 days. they didn't stay silent. and in fact, it was very noisy. throughout a speech that lasted just over 90 minutes, the longest speech in modern times to congress. in fact, one of the democrats actually got kicked out of the chamber. but what was really interesting, the thing that surprised me more than anything, was the network cbs, not known to be trump lovers in any way at all, and they published this poll shortly after the debate. 76% of people in the cbs poll approved of what the president said, with 23% disapproval. and i don't know exactly what sample cbs used,

but the fact is they put it up there, a mainstream broadcaster. and that is a pretty remarkable result. the single most popular part of what trump had to say in that speech was when he talked about what elon musk was uncovering in terms of where pubuc uncovering in terms of where public money is being spent. and that went down an absolute storm with the republicans and i think with the republicans and i think with the republicans and i think with the viewers as well. and perhaps that's why that poll was just as strong as it was. now, not everything is a bed of roses. tariffs have meant some big falls in the stock markets. the ukraine deal isn't yet finally done. but let me ask you at home, is trump off to a great start? let me know. tweet hashtag farage on gb news or email farage gb news dot com. i'm joined in the studio by spokeswoman for republicans overseas, jennifer ewing. i'm also joined here in the studio by kwasi kwarteng, former conservative chancellor, and lloyd russell—moyle, a regular on this show and former labour mp. now, jennifer, i think you're one of those people that

did stay up through the night. can you tell? well, i mean, given that you're republicans overseas, you probably had to. well, yeah. what did you make of it all? >> i thought it was full of everything and it was actually full. it was basically a carbon copy of what his presidency has been so far. i mean, it was a lot of activity. it was a mix of humour. it was a mix of content. it was a mix of sort of pointing out a lot of wonderful things about our country. it was incredibly hopeful. i think one of the most disappointing things was just the lack of, you know, a lot of the issues he talked about were domestic, for sure. it was primarily a domestic speech, and it was these 80 over 20 issues. right. immigration now, even for democrats is an 80 over 20 issue, right. and some of these other issues, the same thing. and yet when it came time for applause for, you know, whether it be the teenage boy who survived brain cancer and was going to get a shot at the secret service, or a young woman

who had been killed in a park is named after her. i mean, people were not standing up on the democrat side, and that was strange. i think it was very bad. it just wasn't pragmatic. i mean, i. >> i went to a state of the union. i think the last one he gave as president and he turned it into a tv show. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> he said up in the gallery, the so and so. you haven't seen your husband for two years, but hey, here he is. and the door opens at the back and he turns it all into an incredible tv spectacle. on the serious points, i mean, greenland, we're going to get it one way or the other. some of this stuff is quite aggressive, jennifer. >> i mean, look, i think we've discussed so many times before, there's what trump says and there's what trump says and there's what trump says and there's what he does. and we can look at even in the last 40 days or however long it's been, it seems like it's been a lot longer. he puts things out there and then if longer.
