would've never happened. these are obviously not true. let's cross to our correspondent. that's right. him really using the appearance of the press they are outside of the courtroom and that kind of moment in the spotlight to take off numerous campaigns and comments he wants out there. just to get his narrative out and one thing that he mentioned there about the judge, this is something that he talked about on social media actually is well during the day, accusing the judge of trying to silence him and take away his right to free speech. those kinds of comments came after a really fiery hearing that kicked off this day in court. it was about a prosecutor wanting donald trump to be held in

contempt for posting numerous times, ten times, they say come on social media on his campaign site about potential witnesses, aboutjurors, comments they said that really spoke to the need to hold him to account, saying it was about the integrity of the criminaljustice system. there was one moment where donald trump's lawyers tried to say donald trump is not attacking anybody specifically. he is really responding to political attacks that are directed at him. a judge asked him for specific examples and donald trump's lawyers struggled to provide any, at which point thejudge clearly struggled to provide any, at which point the judge clearly frustrated said that they were losing credibility with the court. so it was quite a moment, and we see donald trump reacting strongly to that put down by the judge to his team. this that put down by the 'udge to his team. a. that put down by the 'udge to his team. a. , ., ~ , . team. as always, thank you very much indeed. let's cross live now let's speak to lauren wright, a political scientist at princeton university,

unlikely. maybe what comes out of this is a rather large find to add to the heap of finds he's facing and having to deal with in his other cases, but i also think it's really important that we look at this case in the context of all of the indictments, all of the criminal charges against trump. this may be the only case that we get to see through before election day if all of these sort of cans keep getting kicked down the road with the delay is. and that is harmful and beneficial for trump because americans have this one chance, they are paying the most attention to this case of any of them. they might get fatigued after that, and most analysts agree they are the least serious charges of all of the ones that are facing trump. and actually, you know, impartial observers have said if you look at the legal case itself, there was quite a leap that had to be made between ami 's demeanour of ms. filing charges and

government had paid £240 million to rwanda by the end of 2023. however, the total payment will be at least 370 million over five years. these figures are according to that national audit office. moreover, figures are according to that nationalaudit 0ffice. moreover, if more than 300 people end up being sent to rwanda, the uk would then pay a one—off sum of £120 million to help boost your wanda's economy with further payments of £20,000 per individual relocated. let's talk through this a little bit more. so good to talk to you and thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. talk me through the issues or flaws that you see in this bill?— that you see in this bill? well, thank you _ that you see in this bill? well, thank you very _ that you see in this bill? well, thank you very much, - that you see in this bill? well, thank you very much, first - that you see in this bill? well, thank you very much, first of. that you see in this bill? well, i thank you very much, first of all, we see again today people tragically losing their lives crossing the channel, including its reported a child. this is the result of

inhumane, unjust migration policies that are really quite irrational. so we know that historically people have always moved, have crossed borders to flee persecution or conflict or seek better opportunities in life or to rejoin theirfamilies. so what opportunities in life or to rejoin their families. so what we really need is to think about a rational, fair, humane migration policy and plan. 0ne fair, humane migration policy and plan. one that doesn't push people into taking these risky and dangerous journeys. the into taking these risky and dancerous 'ourne s. ., dangerous 'ourneys. the government would sa dangerous journeys. the government would say that _ dangerous journeys. the government would say that this _ dangerous journeys. the government would say that this kind _ dangerous journeys. the government would say that this kind of _ dangerous journeys. the government would say that this kind of bill- dangerous journeys. the government would say that this kind of bill is - would say that this kind of bill is exactly doing that. it is they are to deter people from taking these types ofjourneys, because if you do take these types ofjourneys, you will then come according to this bill, be sent to rwanda.- will then come according to this bill, be sent to rwanda. well, that doesn't- -- — bill, be sent to rwanda. well, that doesn't. .. first _ bill, be sent to rwanda. well, that doesn't. .. first of— bill, be sent to rwanda. well, that doesn't. .. first of all, _ bill, be sent to rwanda. well, that doesn't. .. first of all, the - bill, be sent to rwanda. well, that doesn't. .. first of all, the uk's - doesn't... first of all, the uk's own supreme court has said that it would be unlawful given the current situation in rwanda for asylum—seekers and the risk of facing a real risk of persecution or

other serious human rights violations. there are risks and additional trauma in terms of transferring people who have arrived to may be victims of trafficking or torture and who may nonetheless end “p torture and who may nonetheless end up being transferred to rwanda if they are not identified within a very short period of time. what should be happening is that instead of spending this huge amount of money on this unlawful plan, the government could put in place resettlement opportunities and expanded regular migration policy and plan and resource and support its asylum determination system in the uk. this is a really bad day for the uk. this is a really bad day for the uk. this is a really bad day for the uk in terms of its reputation as being compliant with international law. it no longer is if this comes into place. and it is also really just not a rational way to respond to migration. migration can be of

significant benefit to host communities. and there is a legal obligation that goes back decades and into history and is part of the uk's own domestic law to grant asylum to those who are fleeing persecution, that people have a right to seek asylum and to receive protection and not to be subject to these serious human rights violations that the uk's own supreme court has identified.— court has identified. thank you so much for coming _ court has identified. thank you so much for coming and _ court has identified. thank you so much for coming and answering . court has identified. thank you so l much for coming and answering my questions today. thank you. thank ou. still to come on the world today: a grieving father taking on oil giant bp. elon musk and the australian government get into a war of words. around the world and across the uk, this is the world today on bbc news.

the usjustice department has announced a multi—million dollar

settlement with more than 100 people who accused the fbi of grossly mishandling allegations of sexual assault against a former usa gymnastics doctor — larry nassar, who has now been jailed assaulted more than 300 women and girls in total, with olympic champion simone biles among the victims. let's speak to the bbc�*s nomia iqbal who joins us live from washington. talk us through this story. face noes talk us through this story. face aoes all talk us through this story. face goes all the _ talk us through this story. face goes all the way _ talk us through this story. face goes all the way back— talk us through this story. face goes all the way back to - talk us through this story. f:cs: goes all the way back to 2015—16. just remind people, larry nasser worked as a michigan state university doctor, he also served as a team doctor at usa gymnastics which was based in indianapolis. and he was accused of sexually assaulting hundreds of women and girls. now, and fbi report found that, well, report found that the fbi first learned about these

allegations in 2015. —— larry nassar. but our report found that they did not take the right investigative steps and so that meant that nassar was free for months and months and months to abuse more women and that included, as you mentioned there, the olympic gold champion, simone biles, also allie rasmussen and another decorated champion michaela maroney, i should say, and they gave evidence at a senate hearing in 2021, really distressing hearing. so here we are aware this settlement has been announced for, i think it works out to it is 139 claims, just to double check that made against the fbi, but it's important to note that this is just another settlement. so basically all the settlements total nearly $1 billion, and that is one made by usa gymnastics and the us

olympic and paralympic committee. so this has been going on for some years. nassar himself has been jailed. he is 60 years old and it's very unlikely that he will ever walk free again. very unlikely that he will ever walk free aaain. . ~ very unlikely that he will ever walk free aaain. ., ,, i. very unlikely that he will ever walk free aaain. . ~' ,, , very unlikely that he will ever walk free aain. . ~' , . free again. thank you very much indeed. a man in iraq has started the first legal action of its kind against the uk oil giant bp, over the death of his son. this is alijulood — who died at the age of 21. his father, husseinjulood, alleges that gas burning at an oil field run by bp in southern iraq caused his son's leukaemia. gas burning , known as flaring , is one of the ways the industry deals with gas released during oil extraction. the process releases a mixture of cancer—linked chemicals into the air. according to bbc analysis of world bank figures, rumaila oilfield has the highest documented levels of flaring in the world. as you can see, the oilfield is not farfrom a residential area which you can see in the top right area of this map. back in 2021, ali sent the bbc

footage of flaring near his home. take a look. ali was just 15 when he was diagnosed with leukaemia and had two years of treatment, including several courses of chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant and radiotherapy. in 2021 he was found to be in remission, but a year later the cancer was back, and ali passed away in april 2022. the bbc�*s climate and science reporter, esme stallard, has more on the legal case brought by his father against bp.

this is potentially the first case globally where an individual has taken an oil giant to court. so what he is seeking here is compensation both for the moral loss of his son but also the extortionate medical cost that he had to fork out for his treatment. he was just 15 when he was first diagnosed with leukaemia and underwent treatment for six years, which included treatment locally but also he travelled to turkey extensively for chemotherapy and for a bone marrow transplant. although the flaring activity happened in iraq, mrjulood is able to bring the claim in the uk courts because bp's headquarters is here. bp says it "understand the concerns" and is supporting change. for more on bp's response, here's esme stallard again. bp reiterated their response that they made a couple of years ago when claims first came to light in a bbc investigation called under poisonous skies, where bbc arabic showed the true scale within this region within iraq

and said they are working ——scale of flaring within this region within iraq and said they are working with the operator of the field to try to reduce flaring and its emissions. but they say that they made this statement a few years ago and since then, he still continues to see flaring on an almost daily basis near his village. an extreme soil erosion is causing regions to disappear. gully erosion is advancing at a worrying speed because of deforestation and also the extreme weather caused by climate change as well as a lack of urban planning. 0ur population correspondent has this report. the city in brazil is at risk of falling apart. the city in brazil is at risk of falling apart-— the city in brazil is at risk of fallin: aart. , .,~ ., falling apart. this has taken away m life. falling apart. this has taken away my life- this _ falling apart. this has taken away my life. this meant _ falling apart. this has taken away my life. this meant as _ falling apart. this has taken away my life. this meant as a - falling apart. this has taken away| my life. this meant as a mechanic and his workshop _ my life. this meant as a mechanic and his workshop is _ my life. this meant as a mechanic and his workshop is on _ my life. this meant as a mechanic and his workshop is on the - my life. this meant as a mechanic and his workshop is on the edge l my life. this meant as a mechanic| and his workshop is on the edge of my life. this meant as a mechanic. and his workshop is on the edge of a giant ravine. i

stay with us here on the world today. i am stay with us here on the world today. iam back stay with us here on the world today. i am back in a few minutes' time. hello there. it was another chilly day for the time of year pretty much everywhere, but where we had the sunshine across the north and the west of the uk, it didn't feel too bad. but it was chilly further east, where we had thicker cloud, even a few spots of rain. that's the story for the next few days. it will remain — the temperatures — below the seasonal norm, and there will be more cloud always towards eastern areas. and you can see why. this northerly arctic airflow has brought this chilly air to our shores and it's going to hang around for the next few days. high pressure sits out towards the west, hence the northerly wind. we've got low pressure developing out in the north sea. it's feeding in a lot of cloud, generally in northern and eastern areas, a few showers mixed into there as well. could even see some wintriness over the high ground, as the air is cold enough for that.

but where we have clearer skies through tonight, this is where we'll see the lowest of the temperatures, a touch of frost in places. where we have the cloud, temperatures staying above freezing. bit of a grey start, i think, wales, south—west england, certainly down the north sea coasts of both england and scotland. the cloud tends to clear in the south—west, but it continues to be fed in on that northerly breeze across eastern areas. could see a few showers. like i mentioned, they could be wintry over the higher ground. best the sunshine towards the north and the west. perhaps a cooler day a little bit tomorrow. i think for most areas, highs of 13, maybe 11; degrees. single digits on the north sea coast. as we head through wednesday night, we start to see an area of more organised showers, longer spells of rain pushing south into scotland. there will be some snow on the hills. the air is cold enough for that. elsewhere, a chilly night to come. where we've had clearer skies out west, then a touch of frost. some subtle changes, i think, as we head into thursday. we start to see two areas of low pressure beginning to encroach into our shores, so i think we'll see more cloud around generally, limited sunshine here and there, though the best of the sunshine will probably be through the morning period. showers will get going and they will

be of a wintry nature to the hills of scotland and northern england, mainly of rain, i think, across more southern parts of britain and in towards northern ireland. temperature—wise, up to 13 degrees in the south, still chilly in northern and eastern areas. and then as we push to the end of the week, friday and the weekend, it does look like low pressure will start to take over. moving up from the south, it'll bring stronger easterly winds and outbreaks of rain. what it will do is also usher in some slightly warmer air to our shores, generally across southern areas, eventually pushing northwards, but it will be turning more u nsettled. take care.

but as we watch, we have no idea that people on board are dying,
