lorna, for the moment, thank you.as absolutely will be coming back, despite the development yesterday. that is a point i have been making for many, many weeks now, but it is a point that i will continue to make. we always knew that secretary pompeo had the political decision in his hands. he has made it now but he will not be around forever and he is simply following orders from president trump who will be gone one day, whereas that extradition request will be there forever. the construction of the controversial hs2 railway line is billions of pounds over budget and years behind schedule. the national audit office says the department for transport failed to understand how complex and risky the project would be. the government says it's already acting on the watchdog's recommendations. our transport correspondent tom burridge reports. as work to build a new high—speed line goes on in birmingham, criticism from the government's spending watchdog over management of the budget for hs2, which has ballooned. today's report

i'm joined now by our scotland correspondent lorna gordon and david shukman, our science editor.l have the authorities in glasgow actually given about how they hope to achieve this carbon neutral target by 2030? lots of ideas and an acknowledgement that the ideas have to be translated into action and fast, so of course we have the obvious stuff like more pedestrian areas, more cycleways, more ambitious ideas like perhaps a council owned bus company where tickets could be free to encourage people out of their cars, big challenges, now, 70% of people in glasgow live in flats, how do you encourage them to use electric cars? might they use streetlights to charge cars overnight? and then of course the other big is heating, we saw one of those ideas in action in david's report, and another is whether they could put ground—based heat pumps into the parks, there are a lot of parks in glasgow, it can be done. there is a big district heating system in copenhagen, where almost all of the houses run on district heating. but these are ambitious ideas, the council cannot do it on its own, ther

first to lorna gordon at holyrood. yes, lots of symbolic gestures here in scotland.the parliament here this evening and a plan to let vigil is expected here later from people who want europe to come in their words can keep open a place for scotland. a small group of those taking part are already starting to gather here. nicola sturgeon has already been speaking this morning here in edinburgh as well. she said she viewed the uk, and scotland, leaves the eu with real and profound sadness and a renewed sense of determination to keep making the case for independence. she said the uk scotland voted to be part of an 2014 ceases to exist at 11pm. she fleshed out some of the details surrounding some of the arguments about independence as well. she said she was not ruling out a consultative independence referendum that such a referendum would be tested in court and there was no guarantee that that could succeed. at 11pm tonight here in wales, the european flag will be lowered. no vigils here but it is a member of the majority of politicians here have fought against for the la

'd one told us to do one corner of them got 3 big you know what had become very much i don't accept that well i've been interested in this country for 27 years of time how did i had to before of course talking you hadn't been likely to think it was we had a feeling that our legal profession had become yeah yeah i'm sorry 9 to say oh yeah i'm going to have to interrupt you i do apologize professor. on the line from his home in beirut. for the past hour and a half or so we've been looking at these remarkable pictures from beirut where police have been firing tear gas was a candidate kind of protest and demanding a resolution to the country's financial and economic crisis at the end of a week of rage they called it hundreds perhaps even thousands of protesters have been inv

first to lorna gordon at holyrood.tla nd events taking place up and down scotland this evening. many of them involving people intent on sending a message to the eu to keep open a place for scotland. the majority of people here in scotland voted to remain as part of the eu. nicola sturgeon was speaking a little earlier today. she said she personally viewed the moment this evening when we leave the eu as a moment of real and profound sadness. and i think that probably reflects the mood of many of the people here who are gathered here outside holyrood this evening. there is a mixture of scottish flags, european flags, they are here for speakers. and a little later, there will be a candlelit vigil to mark the moment when the uk leaves the eu. so a sense of the feelings of some of the people here in scotland but what about in cardiff? wales was the only other nation across the uk that voted to leave the eu but conversely the majority of politicians serving here in cardiff bayjust like the other politicians voted against the

here's our scotland correspondent lorna gordon.utional standoff, and that relationship with the eu is key. of course, a majority of people who voted here in scotland voted to remain as part of the eu, and nicola sturgeon referenced that relationship with the eu in her opening remarks. her political opponents have called this a political stunt and a distraction but it is, as i said earlier, symbolic. it is not likely to be to anything at this point, but it is another step in this constitutional argument and nicola sturgeon says she will make a speech on friday setting out the next steps in her campaign to secure another referendum on scotland's future. now for a special report from bbc minute, and it's all about this russian symbol. it's made up of words that say "we are all", and it's uniting russians. students and celebrities are using it to rally against the government, or to support causes including domestic abuse and climate change. it's even helped release some people from police custody. marianna spring has the story. in russ

lorna, at holyrood, however a feeling, just a few hours to go until brexit is finally upon us?nt that scotland leaves the eu at 11 o'clock this evening with a real and profound sadness and a renewed sense of determination to keep pushing the case and making the case for independence. she said the uk that scotla nd independence. she said the uk that scotland in 201a voted to be part of c sister exist at 11 o'clock this evening —— ceases to exist. she has set out how she thinks a campaign for a second independence referendum will happen in the next year. she said there are no short cuts to independence but she still wants a referendum but, of course, westminster have said they will not allow that referendum to happen, or give permission for it. she acknowledged it might not happen, in her words, until after next year's scottish parliamentary election. interesting though, as well, that she did not rule out what is called a consultative independence referendum. one that is not authorised by westminster. but she did concede that would inevitably be tested in the courts and there wou

our scotland corrspondent lorna gordon says the government there has set up an incident team to monitorere are no confirmed cases here in scotland, but five people are being tested for this coronavirus, purely as a precautionary measure. all of them have travelled and returned from wuhan within the last 14 days, and all of them have been showing respiratory symptoms. a number of them are believed to be chinese nationals, and one of them is thought to be a student across in edinburgh. it is not known how many of them are being tested and are in hospital, in a hospital environment. and exactly how many of them are at home. and we don't know exactly which hospitals they are in, but it is understood that at least one of those individuals is in the glasgow area, and as we said, one of them, a student across in edinburgh. let's cross to wuhan where we can speak to kathleen bell who moved there from cheshire. tell us what the situation is like there. under virtual tell us what the situation is like there. undervirtualsiege. tell us what the situation is like there. under virtual siege. yes it

well, let‘s join our scotland correspondent lorna gordon who‘s in glasgow for us. the scottish parliament and they have said that will not happen, but it is nonetheless a symbolic debate, it is a significant debate in this ongoing constitutional stand—off and that relationship with the eu is key. of course, a majority of people who voted here in scotland voted to remain as part of the eu and nicola sturgeon reference to that relationship with the eu in her opening remarks. because we are not independent, we have a borisjohnson lead majority government that scotland did not vote for and we stand just two days away from losing our eu membership and all of the rights that go with it. in my view, it is beyond doubt now that the only realistic way for scotla nd now that the only realistic way for scotland to return to the heart of europe and ensure that we get the governments we vote for is to become an independent country. her political opponents have called this a political stunt and a distraction. jackson carlaw for the conservatives said this was an attempt to convi

lorna gordon is in holyrood.is list of margins but 51 to 49% of scottish people now in favour of independence? yes, that one pill suggesting a very small majority are in favour of independence so scotland's first minister did reference at pull in her speech. an important speech, really, very personal comments. saying this moment for her was one tinged with sadness and really, a wider comment based at the wider community that support independence, talking to them about strategy, about the political process as she sees it developing as it goes forward as she continues her campaign for another independence referendum. we'rejust going to do some housekeeping and we will say goodbye to our viewers on bbc four who had to leave us but you can keep watching us on the bbc news channel and all bbc world news. hello, thanks forjoining me. very mild out there today, and the night looking through the course of friday, mile south—westwards across the uk, temperatures, 12, i3, 14 in one or two places. by the end of saturday mor
