prince louis taken by his mother to mark his sixth birthday. hello, i'm sarah campbell, welcome to bbc news now, 3 hours of fast—moving news, interviews and reaction. just hours after rishi runak�*s flagship rwanda bill was passed just hours after rishi sunak�*s flagship rwanda bill was passed in the british parliament, five people — including a child — have died attempting to cross the sea from northern france to britain. these were the chaotic scenes on the beach near calais just before daybreak. the incident happened as migrants attempted to launch a boat. the french coastguard said the small, overloaded boat was carrying 110 people when it set off from wimereux, just south
2:01 pm
of calais on tuesday morning. authorities have also been carrying out several search—and—rescue operations at sea, linked to other attempts to cross the english channel. within just a few hours of the bill going through, the bbc witnessed migrants on multiples beaches trying to get onto boats to cross the english channel. these are some of the pictures from one attemptjust after dawn. the uk border force has brought around 70 migrants to shore and a dover lifeboat has been launched after reports of another migrant boat in the channel. our correspondent andrew harding — was on the beach where a boat ran aground and left five people — including a child — dead. let's ta ke let's take a look at what he witnessed as that elevated crossing began. —— ill—fated crossing began.
2:02 pm
that does give you a sense of what it must have been like in the early hours of this morning when those migrants were going towards that boat. a short while ago i spoke to andrew about what he witnessed on the beach. this andrew about what he witnessed on the beach. , ., , , ., ., the beach. this was before dawn, we had been waiting _ the beach. this was before dawn, we had been waiting on _ the beach. this was before dawn, we had been waiting on the _ the beach. this was before dawn, we had been waiting on the beach - the beach. this was before dawn, we had been waiting on the beach for i had been waiting on the beach for many hours overnight anticipating there might be migrants trying to get to see in that area on that beach, and suddenly we heard a noise. it was the police shouting that they had spotted the migrants and we ran with the police and so about hundreds, perhaps more than 100 migrants running across the beach. the tide had just gone out, they had several hundred metres to run it the sea, they were dragging an inflatable and as the police got closer, a fight began as the smugglers of the migrants started
2:03 pm
bringing out sticks and rods and essentially forming a protective coating around the migrants to allow them to continue advancing towards them to continue advancing towards the sea to take their boat into the water. they were throwing firecrackers as well. there were explosions and smoke, the police seemed unable to do anything. they said they didn't want to interfere, that was children there, it was too dangerous and the migrants were already in the water. what happened then was they got into a boat and we saw it drift slowly, just a few yards off the shore, some people failed to get onto the boat, failed to clamber into it and came back to shore and walked away. but we could very quickly tell there was trouble going on in the boat itself, there were just far too many people trying to squeeze inside this inflatable only and you could see people standing in
2:04 pm
the middle, and what we since learnt is we were seeing people are certainly being trampled to death. we have heard reports some people may have drowned, that is not clear. we saw some life jackets in the water. we heard some cries. at that time it was not clear to us what was happening, it felt likejust time it was not clear to us what was happening, it felt like just a melee of people trying to fight for a spot on the inflatable. and the boat drifted a bit further out to sea, at which point the police and the migrants who had not made on the board the boat started to walk back up board the boat started to walk back up the beach towards the car park and their vehicles. we could see some small rescue boats from a much bigger french rescue ship starting to approach the boat, but at that point we still had no sense anyone was injured. we assumed they were simply trying to offer help, about to push the boat back to shore
2:05 pm

2:10 pm
conservative prime ministers for more than two years that the way to solve this problem is to have a firm deterrent that makes people not set out on that journey. deterrent that makes people not set out on thatjourney. in the view of rishi sunak that deterrent is this policy. in the view of labour, all this policy will do is soak up money without actually acting as an adequate deterrent. that is where the debate is. yesterday parliament via the conservative majority in the house of commons said they believe they want to press ahead with rwanda policy. rishi sunak believes he can get a flight off, at least one flight, but he would help many more to rwanda with an 8—10 weeks, and so are the focus now is on whether he is right and whether that plane will take off, and if that plane does and you get what he called a regular rhythm of planes taking off, does the policy work and do what rishi sunak wants it to do? is it a
2:11 pm
deterrent to situations like today? we were given the figures that have risen sharply, more than 50,000 people are waiting to have their asylum applications looked at. in this policy, 10—12 weeks for the first like to take off, even when they do take off, what numbers are we expecting? it is they do take off, what numbers are we meeting?— they do take off, what numbers are we expecting? it is a good question to which the — we expecting? it is a good question to which the government _ we expecting? it is a good question to which the government has - we expecting? it is a good question to which the government has not i to which the government has not given us a clear answer. there has been some reporting that the rwandan capacity to take these asylum seekers is really limited. it is not just limited in the sense of where they would house these asylum seekers, though that is one element. there is a hostel that is ready for them in kigali, which we have seen lots of footage from. i have been there. and it is quite small, it is quite small compared to the volume of people making thatjourney across the channel, and then there are some
2:12 pm
suggestions the rwandan government doesn't want too many flights to come too quickly as they get the scheme up and running. time will tell on that, but the view of the government of course is that by dent of sending at least some asylum seekers to reminder, you will stop others making the journey in small boats across the channel. by the logic of the government, the goal would be merely sending someone to rwanda should stop the problem more generally, and that is going to be one of the tests of this policy if and when those flights start to take off. ., and when those flights start to take off. . . , and when those flights start to take off. . ., , ., , ., off. that was the latest on the olitical off. that was the latest on the political developments - off. that was the latest on the political developments in - off. that was the latest on the political developments in a - off. that was the latest on the i political developments in a story, there have been lots of developments on the bill issued today and this incident in the channel where five people have been killed, including a child. i should draw your attention to the website where there is a life page running and it has all the latest lines on that developing story. 0ur correspondence are giving
2:13 pm
details, tom symons has been reporting from france all morning talking about how they are trying to find out more details, especially about the child who has died. and they have been talking to asylum seekers who are there, telling them about this plan and asking whether it would deter them. according to our correspondent tom, he said no one said it would deter them. plenty of lines on the website. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.
2:14 pm
thejudge in donald trump's criminal trial will today hear arguments that the former president has breached an order which prevents him from attacking witnesses and jurors involved in the case. mr trump denies covering up alleged hush—money payments to the porn star stormy daniels in the run—up to the 2016 presidential election. these are the pictures from inside
2:15 pm
the court complex. we know the former president has arrived at the court complex, but he hasn't walked through that section to get to the actual court room itself. while we wait for him to do that, let's cross to outside of the court. and speak to our correspondent, nada tawfik. it is day two of the trial and the first thing is a gag order that is due to be discussed. please explain. that is right, prosecutors want to bet hearing because they say it is important to preserve the integrity of the criminal justice important to preserve the integrity of the criminaljustice system. they say donald trump has violated this limited gag order that prevents him from speaking about witnesses, jurors, prosecutors other than the district attorney himself and they say because of that, it amounts to intimidation of witnesses and
2:16 pm
jurors. they say donald trump has called one of the witnesses michael cohen and stormy daniels, gone after them, calling michael cohen a serial perjury. they also say he courted a post by a conservative news host saying there were liberal democrats trying to get on the jury to obstruct its. they say all of this is incredibly problematic and they need to preserve the integrity of the criminaljustice system, that they should hit donald trump with financial penalties and a judge should tell him that if he doesn't stop, he could face jail time. donald trump's team is likely to repeat some of the defence that they have raised in written arguments saying he is not targeting anybody, that he is just defending himself from these attacks online. that that he isjust defending himself from these attacks online. that is the .a. from these attacks online. that is the gag order. — from these attacks online. that is the gag order, take _ from these attacks online. that is the gag order, take us _ from these attacks online. that is the gag order, take us three - from these attacks online. that is the gag order, take us three once that has happened, what else we are likely to hear in court?—
2:17 pm
likely to hear in court? the gag order hearing _ likely to hear in court? the gag order hearing will _ likely to hear in court? the gag order hearing will take - likely to hear in court? the gag order hearing will take a - likely to hear in court? the gag order hearing will take a chunk| likely to hear in court? the gag l order hearing will take a chunk of the morning and then we do have a limited court schedule because of passover, the court will go just until the afternoon and that is when we will see the prosecution resume questioning of david packer, and he is the publisher of the newspaper tabloid the national enquirer, and prosecutors are starting with him rather than perhaps some more controversial figures such as michael cohen or stormy daniels because he is a long term friend of donald trump and can frame this catch and kill scheme that prosecutors have introduced, where donald trump with his lawyer and david pecker in the lead up to the 2016 election had an agreement to buy up any negative stories about donald trump to protect his campaign, prosecutors say. donald trump's lawyer say it was about
2:18 pm
protecting his family and brand and had nothing to do with the election. the jurors will hear from david pecker himself and that will give key evidence for both sides. remind us about the — key evidence for both sides. remind us about the timeline, _ key evidence for both sides. remind us about the timeline, how- key evidence for both sides. remind us about the timeline, how long - key evidence for both sides. remind us about the timeline, how long the | us about the timeline, how long the trial is due to last and if that donald trump is likely to be in court every day?— donald trump is likely to be in court every day? that is right, this is what distinguishes _ court every day? that is right, this is what distinguishes this - court every day? that is right, this is what distinguishes this criminal| is what distinguishes this criminal trial from some of the past several trials donald trump has had a new york where he was able to come in and out as he pleased. here he is a criminal defendant and required to be in court unless the judge gives him permission for any other major commitment. but we have seen that be very limited, for example later this week there are some arguments in the supreme court about presidential immunity is, that is clearly a very important hearing for donald trump's other criminal cases about election interference where he argues he has presidential immunity. thejudge
2:19 pm
presidential immunity. the judge this presidential immunity. thejudge this case is not —— the judges saying this case is just as important. you can see how high the bar has been set for what he can miss caught for. that means he will be here for days a week several hours a day and not out on the campaign trail, so certainly his campaign trail, so certainly his campaign has tried to seize on every moment he is here in front of the cameras before he goes and out of court, in fundraising e—mails, they have tried to plan rallies on weekends or evenings here in new york. they are going to have to worry about how that strategy will effect them over the next 6—8 weeks that this trial is expected to last. we will be back to you shortly and we will keep an eye on the entrance outside the court to see when donald trump arrives in court. i also spoke to us attorney kelly hyman, who has been following the trial very closely. it's a high profile trial, but it is moving along very smoothly. so yesterday there was opening statements. and opening statements
2:20 pm
are not evidence. that's where the state stands up and lays out the case and then where the defendant's counsel has an opportunity to say what their position is on the arguments. and so, as was stated earlier, there's going to be a hearing today on the gag order and then continuing with the witnesses on the case. what are we expecting today then? as you say, we've had the opening, we've got the gagging order that will be cleared out of the way. and what are the penalties, by the way, if donald trump continues to breach? because we have seen him talking as he goes in and he goes out of the court quite regularly. ultimately that will be up to the judge, but potentially monetary damages and potentialjail time as well. now, thejudge could also make a modification to the gag order as well and add additional stuff to it as well. but we'll have to see what the judge does on that. and then continuing on the trial
2:21 pm
is david pecker who is testifying about the alleged conspiracy that started back in 2015. yeah. and he started to give his evidence yesterday, didn't he? so that will continue today. yes. the whole catch and release kind of idea that money was paid to catch the stories, but they were never put on the press, the national enquirer. and that allegedly back in 2015 with michael cohen and donald trump, they had a meeting and alleged this scheme to affect the election. that was the us attorney. china's weather agency has issued its highest—level rainstorm warning for the south of the country. more than 100,000 people have been evacuated from their homes in guangdong — after massive flooding in the country's most populous province. four people have died, and ten others are missing.
2:22 pm
laura bicker has more from beijing. powerful storms across southern china turned rivers into raging torrents. roads became fast flowing rapids cascading down village streets as hail the size of golf balls fell from the sky. watch the right hand corner of the security camera. the bridge simply couldn't withstand the sheer force of the flood. the destruction became clearer in daylight, as did the number of people left stranded. some almost managed to sleep through their rescue, cradled from the worst of the rising floodwaters. but others cried for help as their streets were submerged. rescuers had to navigate their boats through a flooded urban landscape.
2:23 pm
tens of thousands of people were evacuated across the province. several regions stayed on alert as water levels rose over the weekend, drowning dozens of crops. 61—year—old huangjing rong couldn't save his farm from being swamped. translation: it was my home. everything is gone, all the seedlings are gone. i lost over 13,000 us dollars. 0ur fields over there are all flooded. guangdong is prone to floods, but not this early in the year. weather events in china have become more intense and unpredictable due to global warming. in guangdong, the clean—up can begin. officials will continue to monitor water levels in the hope that for now the worst has passed. laura bicker, bbc news, beijing.
