President biden has said that the new round of us sanctions imposed on moscow is a proportionate and measured response to alleged russian interference in us elections and cyberattacks. Russia has responded angrily to the new measures, summoning the Us Ambassador and warning that they deal a serious blow to mutual relations. Mr biden said he could have gone further, but chose not to, saying any escalation of tensions was in neither countrys interests. I was clear with President Putin that we could have gone further. But i chose not to do so. I chose to be proportionate. The United States is not looking to kick off a cycle of escalation and conflict with russia. We want a stable, predictable relationship. With our democracy, im prepared to take further actions to respond. Our washington correspondent, Gary Odonoghue has more on the impact of these sanctions. These he has suggested to Vladimir Putin they should meet at a summit in the coming months to de escalate tensions, because there are key things were the two countries will have to work together, not at least non proliferation, the Iran Nuclear Deal and the long term challenge of climate change. Long term challenge of climate change. Steve rosenberg, has this analysis of the reaction from the kremlin. Well, theres been an angry response in moscow to these sanctions. The Russian Foreign ministry has accused america of aggressive behaviour and of dangerously raising the temperature of confrontation between the two countries. And theres been reaction, too, from the svr thats russias foreign intelligence service, which washington believes was behind the solarwinds hack. The svr described that accusation as meaningless blather. And what did Russian State Television say tonight about the new sanctions . Has america gone bananas . How are the two president s going to talk after this . And that is a key question, because talks or the prospect of a summit is exactly Whatjoe Biden offered Vladimir Putin earlier this week, when the two men spoke on the telephone, the chance to sit down in person and discuss what is a very difficult relationship. And thats especially important now, in the light of East West Tension which has built up over ukraine and concern in the west about a russian Troop Build Up near ukraines borders. So will a summit still be possible . Well, its not going to be easy when the russians are furious at the moment theyre huffing and puffing and almost certainly they will respond with sanctions of their own against america, but is there still room for dialogue . And almost certainly they will respond with sanctions of their own against america, but is there still room for dialogue . For now, there is, because for moscow, the idea of a summit the chance for the russian president to rub shoulders with his american counterpart on the geopolitical stage that is something very attractive for Vladimir Putin, who believes that the world should respect russia. The former Police Officer charged with the murder of George Floyd In Minneapolis has invoked His Constitutional Right not to take the stand, on the final day of evidence at his trial. Derek chauvin said he would use his right to refuse to answer questions which could incriminate him. He denies killing mr floyd by kneeling on his neck. Our correspondent, Barbara Plett usher has this report from minneapolis. This was the first time in nearly three weeks of evidence that Derek Chauvin spoke in the courtroom. Up to the last minute, there was speculation about whether he would testify. Have you made a decision today whether you intend to testify or whether you intend to invoke your Fifth Amendment privilege . I will invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege today. The decision whether or not to testify. Let me take this off. Is entirely yours. Is this your decision not to testify . It is, your honour. All right. The defence argued that his knee was not the main cause of George Floyds death but it would have opened him up to prosecution. Just a few miles away, another former Police Officer, kim potter, appeared in court charged with manslaughter for shooting a young black man at the weekend. That sparked an explosion of anger in a city already on edge. Protests that followed George Floyds death led to widespread looting and arson. The city is fortifying itself for the verdict.

Adam toleda joining the list. Adam toleda was only 13 and what happened in this neighbourhood of little village, on march 29, there is this technology called the sharp spotters which picked up gunshots in this neighbourhood and police were called to that scene. And there are a few 911 calls as well and when they arrived here, adam toleda was bleeding from the police.

Reverend gregory seal livingston is president of the Leaders Network and a civil rights campaigner. Hes from and lives in chicago butjoins us from new york, where hes taking part in protests against the killing of Duante Wright later on friday. Thank you for making the time for us. Have you seen this footage from chicago and what do you make of it . Footage from chicago and what do you make of it . Yes, i have. It is the do you make of it . Yes, i have. N is the kind do you make of it . Yes, i have. It is the kind of do you make of it . Yes, i have. It is the kind of footage do you make of it . Yes, i have. It is the kind of footage that. It is the kind of footage that sadly we have become normalised. George replied, daunte wright, adam toleda, we can go on and on, that footage speaks volumes and its the same thing every time. And whats really important, the questions we americans must ask, is it really possible for white cops to police black people . It is Sons And Daughters of slave catchers. As part of the problem. In catching blacks and brown people is merely sport. What needs to change in american policing. There was even a time when black Police Officers could not arrest a white lawbreaker. Where we have to go as well we always go, Civil Rights Movement is going. We have to go after the money. By we have to go after the money. By that i mean taxpayers in major urban cities in america have paid hundreds of millions of dollars, even billions of dollars in Police Brutality and police abuse cases. And so what we have to do and what i find to be very interesting is that employees will not do anything that their managers will not allow and what happens with cities is that the City Government is always in some kind of struggle with the police union. So instead of making the taxpayers foot the entire bill for these Police Brutality cases, make the union pay half. The only thing that is going to stop white supremacy, which is merely a scheme generated by agreed to exploit the dark continent, is reparations, reparations in terms of the taxpayers paying half and the police union is paying half, thats the only way its going to happen, thats the only thing that white supremacy, especially in the police ranks, will understand. The police ranks, will understand. , understand. This comes as the trial of Derek Chauvin understand. This comes as the trial of Derek Chauvin comes i understand. This comes as the | trial of Derek Chauvin comes to a close. What reaction to expect this latest video to provoke . Expect this latest video to provoke . Expect this latest video to rovoke . ,. ,. , provoke . This latest video is more like provoke . This latest video is more like kindling provoke . This latest video is more like kindling to provoke . This latest video is more like kindling to the provoke . This latest video is| more like kindling to the fire. And also because the young man was 13, of a slight build, nonthreatening figure, and it happened in an area of chicago little village, where my latinx Brothers And Sisters are and it happens with gangs in every urban city and because that culture lends itself to giving officers a licence to do that to the black and the brown, the same thing wouldnt have happened on the north side of chicago, in tribeca or soho in manhattan, it only happens in certain areas with this kind of frequency and also we see, some kind of prosecutorial conspiracy where these officers were never given the pain that they distribute. They distribute. Reverend, thank you they distribute. Reverend, thank you for they distribute. Reverend, thank you for making they distribute. Reverend, thank you for making the i they distribute. Reverend, thank you for making the time for us. Stay with us on bbc news. Still to come could the pandemic be a blessing for the Natural World .

The latest headlines President Biden calls new sanctions on russia a proportionate and measured response to alleged russian interference in us elections and cyberattacks. And the former minneapolis Police Officer, Derek Chauvin, invokes His Constitutional Right not to testify, on the final day of evidence at his trial. And Buckingham Palace has released details of wholl be attending prince philips funeral on saturday. Theres a limit of 30 guests due to coronavirus restrictions. Today, the Prince Of Wales and Duchess Of Cornwall have been looking at some of the thousands of floral tributes to the duke of edinburgh. Our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, has more. It is the vehicle which will take him on his finaljourney a classic british land rover, designed to the dukes own specification to carry a coffin, his coffin, to its final resting place. Its a no nonsense approach to a funeral, which reflects the dukes particular wish for a minimum of fuss. Normally, a Ceremonial Royal Funeral this was the one for Queen Elizabeth the queen mother in 2002 would have the coffin borne on a horse drawn gun carriage, behind which members of the royal family would walk. And those Family Members who hold Military Rank would be in military uniform. But for the dukes funeral notwithstanding his Long Association with the military all the royals will wear civilian dress. Walking in the front rank of the procession, behind the coffin, will be the Princess Royal and the Prince Of Wales. Behind them, the Earl Of Wessex and the duke of york. And then in the third row, Princes Harry and william, but not side by side. The Princess Royals son, peter phillips, so, what lies behind the decision for the royals not to wear uniform . Its certainly highly unusual. The obvious answer is that its to spare harry embarrassment since hes no longer entitled to wear a military uniform. All the palace will say is that all the arrangements have been signed off by the queen. Once they get to st georges chapel, the queen will sit on her own. There will be just 30 members of the congregation, all of whom will wear masks. According to the palace, difficult decisions have had to be made about who those 30 should be. Theyll include three members of the German Branch of the dukes family. And although the funeral will take place in private, behind the castle walls, there will be a ceremonial element to it. The kings troop royal horse artillery have moved to windsor to be on hand to fire a gun salute. The footguards and other service contingents, including the royal marines, will also be taking part. Theyll be responsible for bearing the dukes coffin out of the castle and then into the chapel. Everything is being carefully rehearsed. And though the palace has done its best to discourage people from leaving flowers, many have chosen to do so. All the bouquets have been gathered in the grounds of marlborough house, where theyve been inspected by the Prince Of Wales and the Duchess Of Cornwall. Most are accompanied by messages, paying tribute to the duke and thanking him for his years of service. Nicholas witchell, bbc news.

Mr lincoln said he would the us would do everything it could to pursue peace between the Afghan Government and the taliban. While the coronavirus pandemic has kept most of us locked down, its impact on the Natural World has been more positive. How our relationship with wildlife and nature has sir david has been speaking to our science editor, David Shukman. David attenborough march 2020. 0vernight, our lives are put on pause. Boris johnson you must stay at home. I but as we stop, remarkable things start to change. The lockdowns have been tough for people, but great for wildlife, as we see in a Spectacular New Documentary with David Attenborough. This is the year earth changed. David, its great to talk to you. Im sorry we cant meet in person, but weve transported you electronically to the wonderful setting of cha rtwell. For people watching your programme, thats going to be shown on apple tv from friday, what message would you want them to take from it . That human beings, even with the best will in the world, cannot restrict the Natural World. Thats what were doing, were pushing it aside. Even the most considerate of us are pushing aside the Natural World and denying space to other creatures which live on this planet. I mean, weve thought that animals, for example penguins in south africa, have survived perfectly well, we think, but in fact when we retreated we discovered that the penguins actually normally would be doing very much better than they have been doing for decades, so the lessons to us are saying you should not be so domineering. But let us suddenly realise that we are intruders, that we are latecomers, and that the Natural World actually by and large would do much better if we werent there at all. To what extent is it important or not, or in what form, that the great Climate Summit takes place at the end of this year . Well, its our last chance, and young people understand the science pretty clearly, and they cannot understand what it is that prevents grown ups, adults, taking sensible action, because they know what the action should be. We know what the problems are, we know how to solve it. Why arent they doing it . And, of course, the answer is, that to do it youve got to get the agreement of the entire human race. No one, at no time in the history have the nations of the world until now, said, ok, well, were taking rather more of our share and we will retreat a bit and let you have a share, and that kind of unselfishness is not an attitude that has been present in Human Politics ever, in a worldwide sense. And its got to come, because if it doesnt we will lose the lot. Sir David Attenborough speaking to David Shukman there. And before we go are these the worlds most expensive shoes . Theyre the first Yeezy Brand Sneakers ever worn in public by the rapper kanye west. Sotheby� s expects them to fetch more than a Million Dollars at auction. Theyre the nike air yeezy1 prototypes worn by mr west when he performed at the grammys in 2008 they are being sold by shoe collector ryan chang. That is it from me for now. You can reach me on twitter, im richpreston. See you next time. Bye bye. Hello there. Under clear, starry skies, temperatures have once again been dropping. It means a cold, frosty start for most on friday morning but a mainly dry day ahead, with some spells of sunshine once any early fog has cleared. High pressure stilljust about in charge, but this frontal system will be trying to change things, with more cloud and some rain eventually into the far north west, but most of us having a cold, frosty but bright start. Fog patches most likely across eastern and southern counties of england. They should lift and clear. Sunshine through the morning. More cloud, i think, developing for many inland areas into the afternoon, and certainly thicker cloud as this Weather Front approaches western counties of Northern Ireland and north west scotland. Some Rain Splashing in here later and a strengthening freeze. But that breeze coming up from the south, bringing some mild conditions to Northern Ireland and scotland 15 likely in northern scotland. Compare that with just 8, 9 or 10 for some of these north sea coasts of england, the breeze still coming in off the chilly waters of the sea. Now, as we head through friday night into saturday, england and wales will see clear skies again. That means A Touch Of Frost and the odd fog patch, but we will see more cloud into Northern Ireland and certainly western scotland, and that means a milder start to saturday. And that cloud comes courtesy of this next frontal system trying to work its way in. So Thickening Cloud for parts of Northern Ireland and north west Scotland First thing. Clearest of the skies across england and wales. Thats where well see A Touch Of Frost and the best of the sunshine of the day. Although, actually, after that cloudy start, Northern Ireland and a good part of scotland should brighten up a little with some Afternoon Spells of sunshine. Those temperatures, 11 to 15 degrees. It should feel a little bit less chilly at this stage for those north sea coasts of england. Now, through Saturday Night and into sunday, we see frontal systems still wriggling around to the north west of the uk. If anything, the veil of cloud associated with those Weather Fronts will move a little further south eastwards, so sunday could be a cloudier day for some Western Parts of england and wales, certainly more cloud into Northern Ireland and scotland, with some rain into the far north west. Best of the sunshine further south and east and temperatures between 10 and 15 degrees. Now, we will see some rain at times in North Western areas to start next week, but High Pressure will build its way back in, so that means plenty of dry weather to come with some spells of sunshine. To work this is bbc news, the headlines President Biden has struck a moderate tone in defending a new raft of sanctions on russia, describing the measures as a proportionate and measured response to russian interference in us affairs. Earlier, moscow warned the Us Ambassador that the sanctions were raising the temperature of confrontation. Police body camera footage appears to show that a 13 year old boy shot dead in the us City Of Chicago last month was not armed at the Moment Police opened fire.
