now, mr stark was also critical of the lib dems and of labour. described as a collective fear of talking about climate change. he was also, he said, very disappointed by the decision by the snp, the government in edinburgh, the scottish government, to drop a key climate carbon—cutting target this week. and this all comes as marine experts have declared a mass coral bleaching event, the fourth ever such event caused, say these marine experts, by the record high sea surface temperatures, so at a time when we're really seeing profound evidence of the impacts of climate change around the world. police in new york say a man who set himself on fire outside the manhattan court where former president donald trump's hush—money trial is being held has died. the man doused himself in a liquid before throwing conspiracy theory pamphlets into the air. he was taken to hospital but later died. as our north america correspondent nada tawfik reports, it happened as the jury selection for mr trump's trial was completed. journalists here had just learned that jury

chris stark also critical of the opposition.otland. he said the government in scotland had been unrealistic as it had tried to set even more unrealistic targets than in london. the labour party, the question he said was that labour had been rowing back some of its big plans, like 28 billion a year spent. but equally just as much, was the leader keir starmer has been quiet on this and wasn't really talking very openly. so this is what was put to the shadow secretary of state for justice. so she was asked about, as labour weakening its ambition? there is no doubt that this is going to be a challenging mission that we have set ourselves. but we are not prepared to just sit back and think we are in a doom loop here and it seems like it's all pretty hopeless and we can do nothing. government can achieve huge things here if it has the political will to do so and if it makes some money available, but also, if it takes the steps to unlock private sector investment and that is so necessary if we are going to have clean energy by 2030 and

i think it stands in stark contrast to the lack of fundraising you see out of the trump campaign. as important as how they are raising it. he is down to mar-a-lago tonight with a bunch of billionaires, people like john paulson who not only wants to cut social security, but he is famous for, as a hedge fund or, rooting against the american economy, betting against the american economy, so i'm not surprised he is reading in donald trump, who wants the economy to customer but a bunch of billionaire scammers, extremist, and racists, that understand if the fund trump's legal fees, he will cut taxes as well as social security so that is to define the medical trust you have between the fundraising operation that we are building up and how it is allowing us to communicate with the voters and the money trump is raising from a bunch of billionaires that is doing nothing more than paying off his legal fees right now. >> let's talk about the economy. fresh numbers released yesterday show 303,000 jobs were added in march, with unemployment dropping to 3.8%. the u.s. economy saw its 39th consec

when asked what the climate change committee does, chris stark has always said itsjob is to mark therking rishi sunak down in dramatic fashion. chris stark said rishi sunak�*s predecessors theresa may and boris johnson had done a good job cutting emissions. but when asked about a decision last autumn by rishi sunak to water down targets to stop the sale of petrol and diesel cars and also to phase out gas boilers, this is what he told laura kuenssberg. i think it's set us back. so i think we have moved from a position where we were really at the forefront, pushing ahead as quickly as we could on something that i believe to be fundamental to the uk economy, fundamentally beneficial to the people living in this country — whether you care about the climate or not — and we are now in a position now where we're actually trying to recover ground. now, he was also critical of the lib dems and of labour. he said politicians across the spectrum in the uk do, he said what they have is a collective fear of talking about climate change. he said he was also very disappointed by the decision by the

but the statement i think today are particularly stark, particular strong.— today are particularly starker talent was indisputable. now, the life and music of amy winehouse is the subject of a new film, back to black. it follows herjourney to becoming a star, as well as her later struggles with addiction. before this evening's premiere, our culture correspondent, charlotte gallagher, sat down with the film's director and its star. # tried to make me go to rehab, isaid no, no, no.# amy winehouse, a music legend. # no, no... # yeah, baby, and the rest. # tried to make me go to rehab. # i said, no, no, no.# now, a new film is telling her story. i was so excited by the idea of, you know, playing and getting in touch with amy — the girl, and then amy the singer — as well as, like, you know, the woman before the icon. i don't write songs to be famous. i write songs because i don't know what i would do if i didn't. and you, physically, transform in the film. and for you, sam, how hard was it to find your amy — someone that can physically resemble amy, but then can also sing like her? well, real

our stark summit that i hosted at camp david marked the start of an entirely new era infused with hopeed relentlessly forward because these leaders know that the division that defined us in the past do not define us in the future. that has also been the story of japan and the united states. just a few generations ago our two nations were locked in a devastating conflict. would have been easy to say we remain adversaries, instead we made a far better choice. we became the closest of friends. today our economic relationship is one of the strongest and deepest in the world. our democracies, are beacons of freedom, shining across the globe. and the ties of friendship, family connect the japanese and american people as a source of joy, meaning, and meaning for millions, millions of our people. japanese americans have made historic contributions across american life for generations. and that includes my mentor and one of my closest friends ever in the united states senate, senator daniel inouye, a decorated war hero, u.s. senator for nearly 50 years, and a recipient of the medal of honor. ye

obviously the white house is issuing a stark warning. do you think the u.s. is not doing enough to show support for israel? or are you going to go? president trump: biden has totally lost control of the israel situation. he has abandoned israel. he's totally abandoned israel. frankly, he's a low i.q. individual. he has no idea where he is and who he's supporting. he doesn't know if he's supporting the palestinians, but he knows one thing. he is not supporting israel. he has abandoned israel. and any jewish person that votes for a democrat or votes for biden should have their head examined. i think they are very happy witt was. it was all about state's rights. we brought it there. everybody's very happy. with the exception of a few people, individual people that have their own agenda. people are very happy with -- you'll see it work out. everything about abortion, it was all about bringing it back to the states. every legal scholar, everybody from the democrats and republicans, they wanted to bring it back for 53 years, bring it back to the states i did that.
