good evening from edinburgh.e're at the scottish parliament on the day a new leader was elected by the scottish national party. he's humza yousaf, he's 37 years old, and he's now set to become first minister of scotland and to be one of the most powerful and prominent politicians in the united kingdom. the leadership contest was triggered last month by nicola sturgeon�*s unexpected resignation. she has dominated scottish politics for almost a decade, and everyone here seems to agree that she'll be a hard act to follow. this is what happened in today's result. more than 50,000 members of the snp voted, with mr yousaf taking 52% of the vote on the second round. it's a result that makes history. mr yousaf is the first muslim leader of the snp, the first muslim to lead a major uk party. tomorrow, members of the scottish parliament will vote on whether to appoint him as the nation's new first minister. mr yousaf knows that his list of challenges would be rather daunting as first minister. we'll be looking at those cha

duncan kennedy, bbc news, in edinburgh. what news, in edinburgh. ajourney.t's been an anxious time for residents of the town of menindee, who are worried about possible contamination of their water supply. earlier our correspondent in sydney, phil mercer gave me more details. we've heard from the senior police officer who's leading this emergency clean—up in menindee, and he believes that up to 20 million fish could have died in this mass die—off. it's believed that the native fish suffocated in what is called hypoxic blackwater. this is a naturally occurring phenomenon that causes oxygen levels in the river to be drastically reduced, so essentially it's believed that these fish died because they didn't have enough oxygen. and the clean—up will be absolutely exhaustive. the police say it will be a logistical nightmare, so what we're seeing in menindee — this is a small community about 1,000 km to the west of sydney — is contractors using giant booms to scoop up the fish on the surface and also try to reach those that are floating to the bottom of the darling

there's a new duke of edinburgh.duke of edinburgh, the prince philip, the late husband of the late queen, died two years ago. i think it was then felt it should be left to charles as new king to take the final decision on this, but i think it is undoubtedly the wishes of prince philip and the late queen that edward, their youngest son, should inherit this title. though the title will not be hereditary so, when edward passes on, it will revert back to the crown. but it makes sense from the palace's point of view because prince edward has closely been involved with the duke of edinburgh's award, the award scheme for young people. and i think it recognises the fact that the prince edward, duke of edinburgh, as we must now call him, and his wife, have an enhanced role within the royal family given the fact that the duke of york in disgrace no longer participating, the sussexes likewise. so i think it is a recognition of that. it's the oscars this weekend in los angeles — the 95th academy awards. and it's set to be a nigh

and then, as you say edinburgh, say, edinburgh, duke of edinburgh's scheme as well?te is that edward would be proud to continue prince philip's legacy of promoting and opportunities for young people of all backgrounds . so clearly that is going to be job now but we remember that the duke of edinburgh or the late duke of edinburgh or the late duke of edinburgh was active in all sorts of areas, wildlife world wildlife fund . and the world wildlife fund. and the whole issue of britain and technological innovation and so on. he was he was quite busy , on. he was he was quite busy, wasn't he . that is the wasn't he. that is the understatement of the in fact when he died i turned nearly two years ago, he was still . to 750 years ago, he was still. to 750 institution. so i add to that what he was doing supporting the queen before his retirement and to that his activities in the sporting fields . to that his activities in the sporting fields. i mean, it's almost superhuman was indeed the iron duke there's no doubt in the carriage driving. he was from time to time duke of haz

king charles gave the title of duke of edinburgh to edward on his 59th birthday.i-monarchy campaigners said the views of the people of edinburgh should have been considered before the title was given as a birthday present. a countdown to the oscars is on, but can the academy awards for best movies and actors generate buzz anymore? tv audiences have been declining for years, and with streaming, the audience is fragmenting further. for a helping hand with sunday's extravaganza, t academy has turned to the organizers of the met gala. >> as we enter the final furlong, it is looking good for michelle yeoh. her nod for best actress is one of 11 nominations that this eccentric movie has bagged. a win for her would be historic. >> it is beyond me being recognized as an actress. it is a whole community of asians coming forward to say, you are going to do this for us. >> while it is well-positioned to take best picture, it left some traditional oscars of voters a bit baffled. so it is still possible they could give the top prize to "top gun: maverick." they might feel more

james, many thanks for the latest in edinburgh. - following the abnormally dry winter, parts of englandthe weeks ahead according to the uk centre for ecology and hydrology. they say the south west of england and east anglia could be worst hit, after studies showed rivers in some parts of england and wales at their lowest ever levels in the month of february. 0ur correspondentjonah fisher has more details. the soil is dry on andrew's farm in suffolk. last month, just 2 mm of rain fell. he normally expects 50. with water levels low and the outlook for spring uncertain, his plans to plant vegetables have had to be scaled back. the lack of water through this last winter has meant that our reservoirs haven't been able to be filled as full as we would like them at this time of year. so as a consequence of that, the people that we work with here with irrigated root crops, we've reduced the cropping area by 25%. east anglia's water problems have been mirrored in southwest england. the water levels this year, already, i've noticed that they are lower than they should be. and it's complicated the
