also left the country and i too have come here. saeed sometimes posts videos on tiktok showing his life in italy and the journey he took to get there. are you not feeding that cycle where people are looking at these videos and saying, yeah, i'm going to take that route too? people often get confused by the pictures. when people are here, they sometimes wear good clothes, make videos and upload on tiktok. and this gives people an impression of a dreamland. but the reality of this route is very different. it's just a form of art to make and upload videos on tiktok. do you regret the route you took to get to italy? do you regret doing it? look, i want to say that taking this route is not the right way at all. no—one should take this route. it's best that you come here legally. go to another country if need be. but legally. but this route is not good. it's a journey of death. this filtered view of a life europe can offer is tempting people to make dangerous journeys that smugglers are all too happy to benefit from. that was reha kansara. we put it to meta and tiktok that their platforms were being used to promote illegal people smuggling. meta, which owns facebook and whatsapp, took down almost all links to groups, pages and profiles promoting this service on facebook and told us: the bbc also flagged the encrypted whatsapp group chats to meta. those chats still exist and continue to promote illegal people smuggling services, one of them to london. and a tiktok spokesperson told us: that's all from us tonight. victoria will be taking the reins on monday. until then, have a great weekend. breaking news from around the world 24 breaking news from around the world 2a hours a day, this is bbc news. antony blinken, the us secretary of state, returned, hoping to ease the pressure on gaza's civilians. good afternoon, everyone. we are absolutely focused on getting hostages back and getting them back to their families in safety. and we believe that, among other things, a humanitarian pause could help that effort. but after their meeting, prime minister netanyahu said there would be no ceasefires until hamas released its hostages. in beirut, lebanon's capital, supporters of the iranian backed militia, hezbollah, rallied to hear their leader, hassan nasrallah, repeat threats that the war might spread.

like delhi, hospital officials said they were treated more than a0 people injured from the rubble of their own homes. will bring in our south asian editorfor more on homes. will bring in our south asian editor for more on this story. what more do we know about the people affected here and the damage so far? 0fficials affected here and the damage so far? officials in nepal say the earthquake hitjust before midnight nepal local time, the epicentre was in the jackets or district, about 500 km west of the capital it is close to the border with india, a north indian state. local media showed many brick houses destroyed and what we understand as people rushed out of their homes in panic and many of them are not sleeping in the open fearing more will happen because they also felt remark tremors after the powerful earthquake hit, there are more reports that the epicentre, it was not very deep, so many of the houses in remote regions are not very strong or earthquake proof, so these brick houses just collapsed and one hospital official said they were treated more than a0 people. it's a remote region so information is still trickling and people are trying to find out what happened to their loved ones. just before midnight, many people in kathmandu would not be aware, it was felt in the indian capital, delhi and was getting medicine from some of my friends in delhi that building shook. so, people are still waiting for information and as the day breaks we will learn more about what happened and the casualty figure will likely go up. former us president donald trump son, eric, wrapped up his testimony, he was grilled about his father's financial statements and what steps he took before signing bank documents. erica trump said he believed everything in the documents were accurate and denied any wrongdoing. donald trump and his doctor if anke are set to testify at next week. i spoke with a representative regarding this case. thank you, you've been following this trial closely, what do you think we have learned from the testimony of donald trump's sons? they're looking to blame everything here on the accountants or other folks, there are valuations that are grammatically off by orders of magnitude and they want to say something along the lines of," oh, the contested" it's flawed because that's not how accountants work. they take the numbers you give them and run their numbers accordingly, so there are several times where i think both erica trump and donald trumpjunior were kind of exposed and the attorney general more or less drew blood in specific instances where it was hard to credit the idea that they completely would have relied on accountants here when they signed documents seen these estimates or these application was accurate. i these estimates or these application was accurate-— these estimates or these application was accurate. i guess, that would be m next was accurate. i guess, that would be my next question. _ was accurate. i

that would be my next question. how do you think| my next question. how do you think the testimony went down in court was at all effective? shin the testimony went down in court was at all effective?— at all effective? an important thing to remember— at all effective? an important thing to remember is _ at all effective? an important thing to remember is the _ at all effective? an important thing

thing i to remember is the judge here is the to remember is thejudge here is the jury, and whenjudges orjuries make credibility findings, appellate courts don't like to disturb them because they state they are closest and would see. i think it went down poorly. lots in trials like this are uneventful testimony and indifferent instances where the attorney general drew blood and gave lots of material for this judge to really wallop the trump organisation and the individuals in it. so, all in all, it was a bruising week, i would say, for the trump organisation and of course next week could be worse. we will get to next week in just a moment, but in this bruising week, where there any moments that stood out to you. i where there any moments that stood out to ou. ., _ where there any moments that stood outto ou. ., �*, out to you. i would say so, it's important _ out to you. i would say so, it's important to — out to you. i would say so, it's important to put _ out to you. i would say so, it's important to put it _ out to you. i would say so, it's important to put it that - out to you. i would say so, it's| important to put it that way, as out to you. i would say so, it's i important to put it that way, as i would suggest, there were incendiary moments that a judge orjury would remember. donald trumpjunior, he gives an estimate and is told by a reporter from gives an estimate and is told by a reporterfrom forbes magazine, it's all wrong stop he writes in the memo anyway it's at deutsche bank saying it was fine. his testimony there was it was fine. his testimony there was it was fine. his testimony there was it was a will or cover your but" memo. it is close to saying i knew it was wrong but i did it anyway. for every trump, they were instances involving alan weissberg, where it seemed hard to credit his idea that he didn't know anything about it, and one time when his temper flared up and one time when his temper flared up and he seemed kind of thin skinned, so there are definitely elements for a judge orjury, in this case, they are the same, to put together and say i think they were being really evasive and not owning up being really evasive and not owning up to the truth. it is a harsh thing to say but a judge can easily make that the basis of a ruling and also say they buried their heads in the sand and that's a basis for liability also. they say" i only relied on our conscience", but that's not how it works under the law, so i think they are going quickly towards a train wreck of an opinion against them by this judge. we know the former president has been watching the trial closely and commenting, he would take the stand next week, what we should we expect? so interesting because there's been the quality over the last two year that we've seen undefinable come to pass, this will be the big one will stop the big question will be, will he lose his temper the way his son did? because, remember, this president has said repeatedly that she is the richest, best, businessman in the world and he will be confronted with lots of public statements about how valuable his properties were and contrasted with real testimony about how much less valuable they really were. he would be implicitly accused of lying, and so will he sort of thumped his chest and doubled down on his claims or will he also kind of resort to a loss of memory and the like. it would be a real confrontation and not under the sort of circumstances he will be familiar with. he would have to answer questions and there will be at a minimum, uncomfortable. it would be interested in deed, and we can expect that media expectable we can expect that media expectable we have seen, but harry, thank you for your insights and perspective today. american politics another turbulent week on capitol hill, george santos survived a attempt to expel them from the house of representatives with the support of 31 democrats, in the senate, tommy cooper wilson nine month blockade of military assistant look for republicans to break his impasse. michaeljohnston braces for another clash over government funding bills. that's talking on capitol hill, that's speak with our

having private talks with him to maybe say he should take it to the courts. this is the first time we actively sought republican senators push back on turberville, the they have said it privately to

he represents, which is a fair argument. 0thers says it sends a bad president if we start forcing people out of congress when the ident expense due process. that was argument for people on both sides.

democrats, especiallyjewish democrats, especiallyjewish democrats who felt that they had to choose between funding israel and this, what they called egregious tax—cut, that is alleged to increase the

signed a, was originally a marketing ploy for a marketing developing, in the early days it spelled out hollywood land, later shortened to hollywood, and has come to symbolise the centre of

weekend. no, it isn't going to be completely dry or completely settled. there'll still be some rain at times rather windy in the south, but not as windy as it has been. rather windy in the south, and amidst all of that, some sunshine. 0n the earlier satellite picture, you can see this stripe of cloud pushing in from the southwest, bringing outbreaks of rain in association with this area of low pressure. the centre of the low tracking eastwards, the strongest winds on the southern flank, which means the very windiest weather will be across parts of france, spain and portugal. for us, yes, it will be blustery in the south, but nothing particularly stormy. this band of rain pushing northwards during saturday morning, becoming slow moving in north wales, the north midlands, parts of northern england. to the south of that, sunny spells and heavy thundery showers with some rather blustery winds, particularly around southern coasts. but the far north of england, and certainly northern ireland and scotland, will see lighter winds, spells of sunshine once any early fog has cleared. just the odd shower temperatures of 9—13 degrees. during saturday night, we'll still have this band of cloud and showery rain across central parts of the uk. could see some really heavy showers actually developing across the southeast corner. remember, any rain that we do see could bring the risk of further flooding. if you're off to fireworks events on saturday night, there will be some showers around, perhaps by sunday night, bonfire night itself there will be fewer showers. they won't be gone completely, but there won't be as many because this area of low pressure during sunday will be pulling away eastwards. we will start sunday morning, though, with some pretty strong winds. in fact, we could see the winds touching gale force across the channel islands for a time. further north for winds that bit lighter. and through sunday, once we've cleared this early cloud and rain away from eastern england, actually, there should be a decent amount of sunshine around. however, further showers will race in from the west. some of these could be on the heavy side. temperatures around 9—13 degrees at best. now, into the start of the new week, we will briefly see this ridge of high pressure toppling through. so things will turn a little drier. but there midweek we will bring this frontal system in from the west, outbreaks of rain with that, and behind it where things could just turn a little bit chillier by the end of the week. so not as stormy or as turbulent as it has been, but still unsettled. this is bbc news. we will have the headlines at the top of the hour, straight after this programme. what impact will artificial intelligence have on bbcjournalism? welcome to newswatch, with me, samira ahmed. coming up... hello, everyone. i'm an english artificial intelligence anchor. this is my very first day... if ai can provide virtual newsreaders, what other benefits or risks could it hold for bbc news? and to bleep or not to bleep — should television news broadcasts should television news broadcast swear words in full? the news has shown an intermittent interest in the covid inquiry since public hearings began injune. but this week's line—up of witnesses, and what they had to say, prompted many hours of live coverage and analysis on news bulletins. this presented a problem for the bbc and other broadcasters. whatsapp messages from former government advisers lee cain and dominic cummings in particular were littered with expletives, which were read out by the lawyers questioning them, and transcribed
