with us now is our north america correspondent, nomia iqbal.e this opposition we are seeing on tiktok.— despite this opposition we are seeing on tiktok. that is their argument- _ seeing on tiktok. that is their argument. president - seeing on tiktok. that is their argument. president biden i seeing on tiktok. that is their- argument. president biden knows that this is massively controversial, because it undermines everything he has been saying about trying to reduce climate change. and it is seen as one of its most consequential climate decisions. by the argument is also that she has faced pressure from many groups in alaska. we are talking about lawmakers, unions and other indigenous communities, who do say this will bring in thousands ofjobs will stop it will also pump and so much money into the economy, so therefore, it is worth it. in a bit of a compromise, but i think we could say, the administration isn't approving the full project, only a little bit of it, and an a further attempt of such criticism, the administers and especially seeing

nomia iqbal�*s report contains images of the attacker inside school. 0utside this religious school, people no one gets used to. since we survived a mass shooting injuly, i have met with over 130 lawmakers. how is this still happening, how are our children still dying and why are we failing them? children from nursery age up to 12 years old attend here and, like most schools in america, they actually practise how to deal with an active shooting. police say this was a carefully planned attack by the perpetrator, audrey hale. we have also determined there were maps drawn of the school — in detail — of surveillance, entry points etc. we know and believe that entry was gained through shooting through one of the doors. video footage shows the 28—year—old driving to the school, shooting the glass to get in, and then stalking the halls with a gun. within 14 minutes of someone calling for help, hale was shot dead by police. by that point, three students aged nine and under were dead, as well as three adults, including the head of the school. hale was a former student, but the motivation is unknown.

nomia iqbal, bbc news, nashville.e should abandon controversial plans for an overhaul of the judiciary. mr netanyahu stressed that, as a sovereign country, israel would make its decisions "by the will of its people and not based on pressures from abroad". speaking before boarding air force one, president biden said he hoped mr netanyahu would try to work out a genuine compromise. like many strong supporters of israel, i'm very concerned. and i'm concerned that they get this straight. they cannot continue down this road. and i've sort of made that clear. i'm hopeful... hopefully, the prime minister will act in a way that he will try to work out some genuine compromise, but that remains to be seen. live tojerusalem and our correspondent tom bateman.|t�*s it's interesting in that statement from benjamin netanyahu about making decisions by the will of its people. a lot of people in israel don't want these changes to the judiciary to go through. so how much additional pressure does this statement from president biden put o

here�*s our north america correspondent nomia iqbal.ad by police. by that point, three students aged nine and under were dead, as well as three adults, including the head of the school. hale was a former student, but the motivation is unknown. after 19 children were killed in a school shooting in texas last year, president biden passed major gun safety legislation that got bipartisan support. but he says this shooting is a reminder the law does not go far enough. we have to do more to stop gun violence. it is ripping our communities apart. ripping at the very soul of the nation. the assailant used two assault rifles — the exact kind of weapon president biden wants to ban. he achieved that in the �*90s as a senator, but now it is near impossible without republican support. his opponents say any further laws will infringe on american people�*s right to own guns. in the last couple of minutes, it�*s been announced that food price inflation reached a record high in february and march. nina�*s here with the details. it is not a surprise. it

nomia iqbal in washington, thank you for the update. of the natural treasures featured in sir david attenborough's new series wild isles. but sir david has a warning. though rich in places, britain as a whole is one of the most nature—depleted countries in the world. never has there been a more important time to invest in our own wildlife. the heads of britain's three most powerful conservation charities want us to do just that. and they have joined forces. the national trust, 5.8 million members. wwf,1.5 million members. the rspb,1.2 million members. so what's the problem? we've come together because, whilst we have spectacular nature here in the uk, it is in crisis. it's on the brink. we have lost so much nature in less than a lifetime. sir david: only a quarter of all our curlew chicks i survive their first year. we certainly value our nature here in the uk. three quarters of us say we're worried about it, but it seems we have no idea how bad things have got. the uk is in the bottom 10% of countries globally for nature according to t

february 3rd has developed into a huge political row in the us. 0ur north america correspondent nomia iqbalestine in february, shortly after a train carrying hazardous material crashed. the town has about 5000 people and is on the ohio—pennsylvania border. the smell is not as bad as it was before. i'm being told, obviously, we're keeping safe by having a mask on. now, nobody was killed or injured in the crash or the fiery aftermath. however, it did make headlines because there were concerns that this was becoming a local environmental disaster. we went to a key town hall meeting where residents demanded answers about their safety and health risks. what rolls through on those tracks is of more value than the lives of the residents in this community. the train's owners, norfolk southern, didn't show up, but it wasn't long before politicians did. east palestine is a politically conservative and predominantly white town. ohio is a key swing state where presidential elections are decided. sure enough, former president donald trump, who won the town in 2020, rode in promising justice. this is rea
