ronnie o'sullivan ending this edition of sports day. that's all from us bye—bye. hello there.rom the west. ahead of that, though, we'll stay dry across eastern scotland, eastern england. temperatures 2 or 3 degrees by the end of the night. this wet weather continues northwards and eastwards, always going to be heaviest over the hills of north—west england and wales. the welsh hills could see as much as 100 millimetres of rain. and given how wet it's been recently, that could lead to some further flooding. we've got yellow warnings from the met office. that rain continues northwards and eastwards through the day. we may see the rain easing off a bit in wales and the midlands, southern england for a while. but then the second band of rain sweeps over the irish sea, followed by sunshine and showers in northern ireland. it's going to be a windy day tomorrow, perhaps windier than today. but because the winds are from the south or south—west, it's going to be very mild. double figures away from northern scotland, with temperatures 14 in south wales. hello, i'm ros atkins. this is 0u

donie o'sullivan shows us they have special insight into the type of debate that will ultimately leado, facebook has a big decision. >> she gets to go first. >> reporter: basketball is about to make one of the most consequential decisions in the company's history. should it let former president trump back on its platforms? >> in general i don't think it's right for a private company to sensor politicians or the news in a democracy. >> reporter: facebook banned trump after january 6th and said it would reassess the situation in two years. now time is up, and facebook says the decision is imminent. >> i've had people say to me, you guys will do anything for a dollar. you don't care. and quite the opposite was true. there was a lot of deliberation. >> reporter: crystal patterson is a democrat. katie is a republican. both have senior jobs at facebook's offices in washington, d.c. where they work with politicians on using the platform. >> i think the decision to take trump off the platform was overdue. we had had a number of instances that for any other user would have been banning -- when

meanwhile, one of the biggest names in the sport, ronnie o'sullivan, produced a dominant victory to givedn't appear to have rocked the rocket. i'm sure it's happened in football. it hasn't harmed football. i'm sure it's happened in tennis. it hasn't done tennis any harm. i'm sure some golfers along the line have done something. it doesn't seem to have affected that sport. ithink, you know, it'll get sorted, it'll get done. you know, we obviously have to sit here and talk about this, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not really as important as other stuff that's going on in the world. you know, a lot of famine everywhere. a lot of starvation. to me, they are very, very important issues. what we're talking about is a sport, it'sjust a game. snooker�*s authorities know that if they find evidence of corruption in this investigation, the action that they take must be sufficient to reassure players and fans alike of the integrity of the sport. it's put a little bit of a dampener on the season so far, yeah. i think it's a shame. itjust puts you off and obviously we've just got the program

joining us now is niall o'sullivan, cio for neuberger berman. as well as kristine aquino. kristine, let's start with the tech story. microsoft, this had been the concern. we have been weighing up the cost cutting which some investors saw is a positive versus the risks around they fall off in demand. that seems to be what is transpiring for microsoft. the broader implications for the tech sector, then. kristine: the big read across is microsoft's warning that the sales are bound to slow, and that moves with what we are seeing in this tech sector, the cost cutting drive we are seeing in mass layoffs and now feeding into them and for services in the sector. that makes a lot of sense when you are thinking about companies that are gearing up for a challenging, potentially recessionary environment. they are trying to get their ducks in a row and trying to cut corners where they can. that is the strongest and most important read across we can get from these microsoft results. tom: how much do you want to draw out of the microsoft earnings for the tech sector? is this evidence we

joining us is sarah fisher, she had an exclusive interview with nick clegg, and our own donie o'sullivan. we'll get to the interview with nick in a minute. let me ask you, at the time it was mark zuckerberg making the announcement, there's too great a risk with public safety. we can't cothis. now it's not mark zuckerberg it's a former uk diplomat making the announcement. is there any sort of objectivity here or bar he met the former president or a hope he won't do it again. >> the former deputy prime minister of the uk, nick clegg, who lost in 2017, now announcing the decision to put back on the platform this losing politician, donald trump losing the last election. this is a super subjective move. they're taking the mood, the pulse of the country saying we don't think by putting trump back on there is an imminent risk to public safety or harm. nine minutes after facebook announced the news, oliver darcy pointed out last night that trump was posting on truth social stuff about the 2020 election. >> untrue stuff. >> yes. conspiracy theories claimis of election fraud. on the flip side of t

cnn's donnie o'sullivan explains this decision. >> reporter: meta announcing the most politically consequential decision in its history certainly here in the united states announcing on wednesday it was going to let former president donald trump back on its platforms, which is facebook and instagram. trump was kicked off the platforms in the days after the attack on the u.s. capitol. facebook at the time saying it was too dangerous for trump to be able to have that megaphone that he might incite further violence. two years later, facebook, meta has says it has reassessed its ban. the it has determined there isn't as great a risk of imminent violence or harm posed by trump and that they are going to allow him back on the platform in the coming weeks. now this is a boon in trump's campaign effort for 2024. he has announced he is running for president. again, we have seen in the past the trump campaign really effectively use and spend hundreds of millions of dollars of advertising on facebook. it is a very effective way, they have found, of targeting voters but also fundraising. as you can imagine

donie o'sullivan has this exclusive report. >> i do fear for the future and what it may hold. >> reporterould be another january 6 in this country? >> yes. >> reporter: a former twitter employee turned whistle-blower testified before the january 6 committee initially anonymously. >> stand by those tweets or in response to donald trump. >> reporter: now speaking exclusively to cnn in her first television interview. >> i think it's really important for these findings from the committee about roles social media played within january 6th come to light. >> reporter: saying she can't talk specifics publicly but shared eye-opening details and depositions with the january 6 committee. one example, trump supporters gathered on the eve of the capitol attack they warned management at twitter there might be someone getting shot tomorrow. according to transcripts of her deposition. >> but twitter leadership refused to take action. >> reporter: attorney alexis roniccer spoke on behalf of a second whistle-blower remaining anonymous. >> not until actually the doors of the capitol were being breached that

don't go far, we are going to continue the discussion and assess some of the fine print with donie o'sullivan and sarah fisher ahead. >>> in the meantime this morning around 20 missiles were flown over ukraine's capital. all were destroyed according to officials there. however, a 55-year-old man was killed by falling missile fragments. this as president biden is unleashing an iron fist in the fight against russia. the president trump announced the u.s. is -- the president announced the u.s. is sending 31 tanks to ukraine. sam kayliley is leave in kyiv w more. what are you seeing on the ground, sam? >> reporter: don, for obvious reasons you don't want to help we're not allowed to help the russians with their targeting, we can't show the place of impact but i can say it's obvious that a significant energy generating facility was targeted unsuccessfully because the missile was brought down, but remember these are cruise missiles sometimes with a payload of explosives of 400 k k kilograms well over 500 pounds so there is significant landing even if they're knocked out of the air. all the missiles

joining me now is donie o'su o'sullivan. a public nuisance law in the state of washington. the school district, the largest in the state is actually asking for damages here from these companies. how are the companies responding? >> well, the companies are responding as you might expect, they're saying we don't have that much of a problem here. we saw this over the past few years, particularly with that facebook whistleblower about 18 months ago when she came out and showed that facebook, instagram had done research into the damage their products were doing to children. i just want to show you some of the statistics. teenagers' use of social media, the percentage of teens who are using these apps almost constantly, almost -- almost a fifth of teens using youtube, almost constantly, 16% using tiktok almost constantly. it's very possible that those numbers are actually a lot higher than that. >> as the parent of teenagers i would say they probably are higher. >> also just to show you this statistics on social media usage among

donie o'sullivan speaks to insiders about how this is being made. >> so, facebook has a big decision.er: facebook is about to make one of the most consequential decisions in the company's history, should it let former president trump back on its platforms? >> in general i don't think it's right for a private company to censure politicians or the news. >> reporter: facebook banned him and said they would reassess the decision in two years. facebook says the decision is imminent. >> i had people to say to me you will do anything for a dollar. you don't care and quite the opposite was true, there was a lot of deliberation. >> reporter: a democrat and a republican here, both had senior jobs at facebook's offices in d.c. where they worked with politicians on using the platform. >> i think the decision to take trump off the platform was overdue. we had a number of instances he posted things for any other user would have been in violation of our standards. when the looting starts, the shooting starts. >> reporter: did you think in that moment it was right to kick him off? >> i thought in tha

donie o'sullivan is joining us now. of social media. what does the lawsuit actually say about how these companies according to the seattle public schools are claiming that they are responsible for this crisis? >> reporter: yeah, this is a fascinating lawsuit and, you know, very well may not be successful but what i think it does, put this on a national agenda. have this extremely important conversation and also, of course, we might learn a lot through the discovery process and i want to show you what the lawsuit, part of it says. this says this mental health crisis is no accident. it is the results of the defendants' deliberate choices and affirmative actions to design their social media platfors to attract youth. and it's not just talking about the content that is on these platforms and the stuff you see there but also just how these platforms are designed. i mean, you know, i think we all know how addictive in nature instagram, tiktok, these platforms can be and, you know, even as adults, we don't always necessarily f

. >> donie o'sullivan joins us now. this is unusual. an entire school system suing.they say was causing the problem. >> reporter: we've seen from the previous lawsuits this is such a relatively new phenomena. we've heard from experts who say we don't know what this will do, being on social media all day will do to kids' brains because it will take some time to fully understand that but what we have heard from this school district and i want to read out part, defendants at the social media companies have successfully exploited the vulnerable brains of youth. their misconduct has been a substantial factor in causing a huge mental health crisis and talks about higher rates of anxiety, depression and self-harm. look, this might not necessarily be a successful lawsuit. but what it will do is put this, you know, crises really into the national conversation and, you know, if it does go all the way, that the school board we might learn a lot about the discovery process in court about what is it these companies know. how much consideration have they put into designing these p

snooker gets back underway at alexandra palace at lunchtime with mark williams taking on ronnie o'sullivane last three frames. he'll now face former finalist barry hawkins. and here's another tale of succeeding in the face of adversity. stuart bingham beat kyeran wilson by 6 frames to 3. he'll face another former winner shaun murphy tomorrow. bingham said he thought the snooker gods had been against him, and he had been struggling with his eyesight until trying new contact lenses. but he seemed to be enjoying the view as he lapped up the love from the crowd. that's all the sport for now. i'll be back shortly with another update. an independent investigation has found the national union of students has failed to sufficiently challenge anti—semitism in its own structures across the uk. testimony given to the inquiry detailed how on one occasion a student was turned away from a prayer room at an nus conference because it was being used for a meeting. the nus has apologised and said it would implement the report's recommendations. kat stark is their director and gave us her reaction to the rep

start getting some more players the ones just a word players in the ones just a word about ronnie o'sullivanworld number one. yeah it's going well the masters, the me, it's just being been played. yeah. yeah, the masters. alexandra palace is where the dance was so threw against six one, beat luca brickell into one, he beat luca brickell into the quarter final and really it's just paying tribute because i think is he's the greatest snooker player there's ever . i think is he's the greatest snooker player there's ever. you know, he got a steve davis and joe davis going back a very long way. but the guys, if only was at the popularity, it was 30 years ago. yeah then he would be a bigger superstar than he is now. but just one of the true greats. there's nothing i have. i had the great privilege to host the masters and basically i used get all jobs dares line used get all the jobs dares line him didn't want i would do these jobs then he would to jobs and then he would sell to give it to him and he actually did give it give it to the young irish. yeah. and then would get that but not theirs. but t

mark williams beating ronnie o'sullivan to claim his first win against the world number one in eight a match against england, injust over two hours' time, as tom brown reports. this is an underdog story even the fa cup would struggle to match. part—time wales, a team with students, teachers, financial analysts, taking in the world's hockey elite. hockey is a hobby for the vast majority of us. it's what we do in our spare time. it's what we do on evenings and weekends, aside from jobs. to be going to a world cup and playing and performing on that stage is kind of a bit of a kind of pinch yourself moment really. wales have come a long way. they won an olympic bronze back in 1908, but in their first 50 international matches, they won just three. even as the games were shown in colour, the results were often the same. and that's number 17. as recently as 2015, they were in the third tier of european hockey. but then things started to change. we got relegated from the b division, which was a pretty dark, dark day for us. it did give us a chance to reset the group, reset what we are doing.

and well, let's talk to june o'sullivan, who's ceo of the london early years morning and why is so important there's a whole raft of research that that the more you kind of invest in the children the younger they are the better it is for them in terms of their language , their terms of their language, their personal and social development and then they you can kind of track the benefit all the way through actually adulthood through to actually adulthood and for a long time we've been saying this in terms of children's development and, their confidence and their ability to do well at school, not unlike the conversation you just had actually . not unlike the conversation you just had actually. but not unlike the conversation you just had actually . but what's just had actually. but what's really interesting also is that they did a big economic study by a guy called james heckman and could it right through to could track it right through to being an you know , the being an adult. you know, the sort of successful education less chances of getting into trouble, less chances of becoming a very you
