Good applause breaking news from around the world 2a hours a day, this is bbc news. Mr trump had originally been struck off the ballot under a ruling which had held him accountable for the attack on the capitol on 6january in 2021 by his supporters. Heres our north america correspondent, gary odonoghue. Nine Supreme Courtjustices, one unanimous decision, clearing the way for donald trump to remain on the president ial ballot now and for novembers general election. Following hard on the heels of last weeks decision by the court to intervene in a criminal case over his part in the capitol riots, the former president was today singing the courts praises. I have Great Respect for the Supreme Court and i want to just thank them for working so quickly and so diligently and so brilliantly and again, this is a unifying factor. Several states had tried to exclude the former president in their primaries, citing a provision in the constitution passed after the civil war barring insurrectionists from Holding National office. While the nine justices took no view on whether he had engaged in insurrection, they said the states had no power under the constitution to enforce the provision with respect to federal offices, and congress alone could do that. While Donald Trumps legal problems have taken a turn for the better, he still faces a criminal trial later this month in new york over Hush Money Payments to a porn star, and a federal trial, possibly in the summer, over his retention of classified documents after he left office. He has also been hit by fines and Compensation Payments of well over 400 million following his defeat in two civil trials. All these legal difficulties have in fact been a double edged sword for the former president. He has managed to raise huge amounts of money off the back of them and by politicising the court cases, he has motivated his own supporters. But the polls still show that some voters in those key swing states wont vote for him if he becomes a convicted felon before the election. Despite all his legal problems, the former president looks set to sweep the board tomorrow when 15 states vote in the republican primary. His nomination for the candidacy is all but secure, his legal worries still far from over. Lets take a look at some other stories in the headlines. France has become the first country in the world to enshrine the right to abortion in its constitution. A specialjoint sitting of both houses of the French Parliament voted for the amendment.

A transparent attempt to split the west thats how the white house has described an alleged russian leak of audio appearing to show German Air Force officials discussing giving ukraine long range missiles. In the 38 minute leaked recording, they are heard discussing How Taurus Long RangeCruise Missiles could be used by ukraine. The breach has sparked Major Concerns about germanys security among its allies, including france and the uk. Heres some of the alleged recording as voiced by a producer at the bbc. Let me start with what could be the most critical thing that might happen given the current discussions. If the chancellor does provide us with the taurus missiles, one aspect is the timing of this. We would say, thats great, but it will take another eight months until you can use it. Secondly, theres no way of speeding up the process because of the danger of mishaps and the missile going down on a nursery causing civilian victims. They were talking there about germanys potential Military Support for ukraine. Thats provoked a response from russia, who say this is evidence of direct western involvement in the war in ukraine. This suggests that within germanys armed forces plans for striking the territory of the Russian Federation are being discussed substantively and specifically. But germanys Defence Minister described this so called leak as a part of a Disinformation Attack by moscow. Translation noone seriously| believes that it was a coincidence that at the end of a week, just before the weekend, i the day after the Funeral Service for navalny, after new revelations about the wirecard scandal, this recording is now being published by chance. Germany is a member of nato, so this has sparked questions of whether their involvement could trigger russias war in ukraine to escalate further afield. Nato countries do already send ammunition to ukraine, but why has the mention of these particular missiles provoked such a reaction . On that, heres the russia editor for bbc monitoring. Ukraine, as we have heard many times over the past weeks, is quite simply running out of western supplied ammunition, and if it were to obtain such long range missiles, it would be able to target really important russian facilities, which is also the reason why germany is reluctant to supply these missiles. In the last few hours, an Air National Guard member has pleaded guilty to posting dozens of classified documents online. Its one of highest profile Intelligence Leaks in recent years involving maps, Satellite Images and intelligence on us allies. While working at an Air National Guard base, jake texeira posted documents to discord, a platform popular with gamers. Mr teixeira was questioned by fellow users of the Social Media Platform about whether what he was posting was classified information. He readily admitted that it was. And he said that he didnt care and that he wouldnt get caught. Well, mr teixeira grossly underestimated the investigative powers of the fbi and the department ofjustice. A 72 hour State Of Emergency has been declared in the capital of the Caribbean Island haiti after two mass jailbreaks. Gang leaders say they want to force haitis Prime Minister to resign he had been out of the country, on a visit to kenya. James landale has the latest. Gunfire haiti has long been lawless and violent, but now its getting worse. In the capital, port au prince, people ran for their lives as what Law And Order there was broke down. Thousands have fled their homes. Powerful armed gangs already control much of the city, but yesterday they overran two prisons, freeing its estimated about 4,000 inmates. Some stayed behind to avoid the shooting. Translation the riot in the prison put our lives at risk. We hid because there was a lot of firing. We were afraid for our lives. The government declared a State Of Emergency in the capital, with curfews in place, but they may be hard to enforce. The gangs, which so often fight each other, have come together to try to oust the Prime Minister, ariel henry. He was in nairobi trying to persuade kenyas president to send him Police Officers as part of a un security force. He is thought to be returning to haiti now. But a notorious gang leader known as barbeque said the armed groups were united against the Prime Minister. Translation we ask the Haitian National police and the military to take responsibility and arrest ariel henry. Haiti has long experience of dictatorship. I have been elected for president for life. But recent years have been particularly bloody. In 2021, the president was assassinated, leaving a political vacuum, largely filled with the gangs. Killing, rape and kidnap are widespread. Elections have been promised but not held, and it seems the gangs are losing patience. James landale, bbc news. So, how long would you wait for a lost item to be returned to you . Its probably not the best part of three decades thats how long a former f1 driver has waited for his rare ferrari to be found and returned, as Grace Harbage reports. This is former f1 star gerhard berger, who in april 1995 finished third at the San Marino Grand Prix in imola. It was also when the austrians Red 512 M Ferrari were stolen. 28 years later, police in london have recovered the rare car, thought to be worth around £350,000. The met polices Vehicle Crime Unit and the National Crime agency discovered the car had been injapan up until late last year, when it was brought back to the uk. Ferrari alerted the police back in january after the car was purchased by a us buyer. Pc mike pilbeam said. It was one of two ferraris stolen in 1995. The other one is still missing. Only 501 of the 512 models were made between 1992 and 1996. The owners include french actor alain delon, eltonjohn and michaeljordan. The police have said the investigation has been painstaking and that no one has been arrested, and mr berger, still heavily involved in formula 1 and seen here at the Bahrain Grand Prix at the weekend, is also yet to comment. And before we go, a quicker minder of our top story. Chinas most high profile political gathering is due to get underweight shortly, the government presenting its vision for the main issues facing the country, including the economy and housing. More on that and other stories. Goodbye for now. Hello. Much of the country had a pretty decent day today with some good spells of sunshine around. Most places stayed dry, but there was wetter and breezier weather pushing into the south west of england, south wales. That rain will continue to journey northwards across much of the country during the overnight period. It will tend to weaken a little bit as it moves northwards, but it will become breezier for a time as the cloud and the rain pushes its way northwards and eastwards. Behind it, skies will tend to clear, but well see a rash of showers, some of them heavy, running into the Channel Islands and across into Southern England at times. Maybe some showers pushing into northern ireland. Now, where we have the cloud and the rain, then temperatures wont be as low as where theyll be where skies clear, and, again, a touch of frost, maybe the odd mist or fog patches, winds fall light. Then into tuesday, weve got that overnight Weather Front pushing off in towards the north sea, another front pushing into northern ireland, Western Scotland thatll enhance the Shower Activity here. Could take a while for that front to clear the east coast of both scotland and england. Eventually, it will do, and it brightens up with plenty of sunshine. Could still see a few showers towards the south and the south east of england, the odd heavier one. But most places, i think, away from these fronts, should be dry with some sunshine. Top temperatures, 11 or 12 celsius once again, pretty much where we should be this time of year. Into wednesday, we see this blocking area of High Pressure over scandinavia begin to exert its force across the country. It will start to push the Weather Fronts out back into the atlantic. So i think many places should be dry on wednesday, Variable Cloud Across Scotland and eastern england. Perhaps the odd shower, the odd shower perhaps for cornwall up towards northern ireland. 0therwise most places should have a dry day with lots of sunshine around, and the breeze will be picking up from the south east. Top temperatures again, 12 or 13 celsius. Similar story on thursday, if anything, that area of High Pressure just edges a bit further westwards, pushing those fronts out into the atlantic. Could be a bit more cloud around generally on thursday, central, northern, eastern areas, maybe the odd shower mixed into it. But there will be some sunshine around, probably the best of it in Western Scotland in towards northern ireland, west wales, south west england. Temperatures maybe down a touch, the breeze will be picking up, 11 celsius will be the high. Friday looks like we could see more sunshine around, again a brisk south easterly breeze. Theres just signs of it starting to turn a bit more unsettled and a bit milder as we head into the weekend. Russias Neighbour Georgia is closely watching what happens in ukraine. It shares a 900km border with russia, who invaded in 2008. Russian troops are still stationed in two separatist regions.
