off the greek coast. a bbc investigation has found evidence that casts doubt on the greek coastguard s account of its response to the migrant ship, which sank last week with the loss of hundreds of lives. the ship sank about 50 miles off the southern coast of greece and survivors were taken to kalamata. an analysis of the movements of other ships in the area suggests the overcrowded fishing vessel wasn t moving for seven hours before it capsized. the greek coastguard claims that during this time, the vessel was on its way to italy and didn t need to be rescued. the greek authorities have not yet responded to the bbc s findings. our europe correspondent nick beake is in kalamata in greece. the greek coastguard has faced heavy criticism for not doing more to help those people on board. its main justification has been that they did not want their help and that, crucially, the boat was moving in a steady direction towards italy. now, what we ve tried to do is piece together a pic
the country, including a former president, was the subject of a hearing today in a federal courthouse in washington, d.c. attorneys for donald trump and federal prosecutors argued over trump s claim that the federal election case against him should be dismissed because everything he did in the postelection period was in his official capacity as president. the three-judge panel that is hearing the case appeared spectacle of that claim. the ex-president and jack smith were in the courtroom today. trump has been claiming that president joe biden has been forcing him to appear in court, which is not true, he did have no obligation to appear at today s hearing. trump s attorney argued that allowing the prosecution of donald trump would, quote, open a pandora s box, but the judge has pushed back on that and many of the arguments he was making. trump s lawyer also argued that the president could only be prosecuted if he was impeached and convicted by the senate first, no matter what

a huge campaign issue for 2024. but we re going to start with an even bigger one. is donald trump eligible to be president of the united states again? colorado says no. maine says no. oregon and new hampshire and others might also chime in and say no. of course donald trump says yes, he is. so who ultimately decides this? the supreme court obviously is the ultimate decision maker here, and they might get involved. colorado has already asked them to. now with maine and perhaps others moving to take trump off the ballot, it only gets harder for the supremes to stay out of it. but here s the issue. getting into it is pretty complicated. both colorado and maine cite section 3 of the 14th amendment which bars officials who have taken an oath to support the constitution from holding office if they engage in an insurrection. the states say it is clear trump did just that on january 6th. what does the supreme court do about that? you might start to think about the make-up of the cour
