this north america correspondent 6ary o'donoghue-_ o'donoghue. l investigation by the special o'donoghue. this was the - investigation by the special grand iury investigation by the special grand jury in georgia, slightly complicated but there was an arcane process of seven months of investigation by one grand jury. which then in effect handed over its findings to the district attorney had then decided what to do with them. this grand jury instead of indicting 19 people which is what ended up happening, did suggest indictments against 39 separate people including as you say a serving republican senator lindsey graham from south carolina and two former republican senators from georgia as well as a raft of others including michael flynn who was the first national security adviser for donald trump. around 20 people were not indicted despite the recommendation from that first grand iury recommendation from that first grand jury and i think that raises questions about why they decided not to indulge those 20. some of them may have decided to cooperate

let's speak to our correspondent, gary o'donoghue at the white house.re has been a five-year investigation, why are the charges only being be -- brought now against hunter biden? they had a deal back in july where he would avoid prison on these charges and tax charges, some misdemeanor tax charges, but that deal fell apart and it fell apart because hunter biden's lawyers believed that they had an indemnity clause where he would not face any further investigations and inquiries. that turned out not tbe the case. the prosecutors had to sort of push ahead with the original charges. the irony of this is one of the things they are going to rely on is the expansion of second amendment rights that we have started to see in u.s. courts, particularly in the fifth circuit in newer lanes, where these sorts of restrictions on drug addicts on guns have been allenged on constitutional grounds. the irony of all of this is that you could see hunter biden in court arguing that his second amendment rights prevent him from being prosecuted successfully on these gun charge

gary o'donoghue reports.police swat team seemingly unable to resist parading their captive moments after he was tracked down. cavalcante's extraordinary crab—like escape from prison two weeks ago was caught on security video. it was a route another inmate had used back in may, though he was captured straightaway. cavalcante was on the loose for two weeks, staying at large by breaking in to homes and stealing clothes and food, as well as a rifle. police got their breakthrough when a plane detected a heat source on the ground, and at dawn they moved in, a police dog pinning him to the ground. i believe he was taken by surprise, and i believe the canine played a large role in him not being able to utilise that firearm. the break—out came just a week after he'd been sentenced to life without parole for the brutal murder of his girlfriend deborah brandao, who was stabbed dozens of times in front of her two small children. we are so relieved, i can't even tell you. a quiet place that's remained untouched, and i'm g

the white house put out a statement saying: our correspondent gary o'donoghue has more.bout the russians going international shopping for more arms. we know that they've already been taking international delivery of drones from iran to use in the war in ukraine. and now they're lookingfor extra artillery shells and missiles from north korea. it's not the first time that missiles and shells have gone from north korea to russia, but they were imported previously by the wagner group before the demise of yevgeny prigozhin. this will be a high level meeting between president putin and president kim jong—un. they have met before in the eastern port of vladivostok back in 2019, and it's thought that perhaps, that may be the place where they'll meet again in the coming month. the americans have warned that these negotiations are actively advancing and they've also said that they will pursue this at the united nations, because there are countless, countless security council resolutions and sanctions against north korea that means that they shouldn't be doing this. the other thing

the bbc�*s gary o'donoghue is at the white house with more on the case and the political fallout.un charges go back to 2018 when hunter biden was a self—confessed drug addict and he at that time filled in a couple of forms, say the prosecution, on which he lied about being a drug addict and then bought a .38 revolver which he possessed for 11 days before his then girlfriend threw it in a dumpster. now, hunter biden believed he'd reached a plea deal with prosecutors back injuly in which he would avoid prison on these charges and some misdemeanor tax charges. but that deal all fell about, and that's why we're here today with this indictment. he could still face further charges. we don't know whether prosecutors are going to do that at this stage. there's been no reaction so far from joe biden and the white house. we know that matters to do with his family, famously rile up the president. so he's not likely to be pleased about this. and of course, it does come in the week when congressional republicans have begun their impeachment inquiry intojoe biden, in particular, his connections

live now to our washington correspondent gary o'donoghue. in terms of the very latest, take us throught we have learned over the last few hours? we now know that the last few hours? we now know that the united states has travis king in its custody. we don't know where he is at this moment in time. there are plenty of media reports here saying that he exited north korea via china. we cannot confirm that officially at that point in time. we are waiting to hear, i think perhaps when he gets nearer home, some of the details that led to this release. if i can take you back, he fled across the joint security area, a part of the dmz zone, on tourist... he did a tourist tour of the area. he went across in mid—july and hasn't been heard from since. we have had very little from him, the north koreans released a statement saying he came out of south korea, came into their territory to protest about the racism and the treatment in the us military, bearing in mind travis king is a black man. but it does look like the diplomatic white wheels have been turning and while we cannot talk about any of th

. >> andrew o'donoghue's point on subsidies for fossil fuels aren't we also subsidising renewables as't subsidy those fossil fuels at all. there, there are extra taxes put on fossil fuels that aren't put on renewables. so that's that's mean a lot of things donica said have been pretty crazy , actually. the gmb pretty crazy, actually. the gmb represents the oil industry. that's a bizarre thing to say. he also told us that that renewable oils cost £40 per megawatt hour, but we've just had what the green lobby has called a disaster. they were offered 60 or £70 a megawatt hour and they said it wasn't nearly enough money and they couldn't build them. i mean, this is absolute insanity. you know, the truth is, you know, we couldn't have had this conversation before. if you look at accounts of offshore wind at the accounts of offshore wind farms, you discover that their costs are of the order of £120 per megawatt hour. they're probably 50% more expensive than gas, gas turbines at current gas prices. so this is why nobody wants to build them anymore . wants to build them anymore. >> and why is
