Overnight, our lives are put on pause. And David Attenborough on what the global lockdown has taught us about humans and our affect on nature. Welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. 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. If russia continues to interfere with our democracy, im prepared to take further actions to respond. Lets speak to Michael Kimmage whos a professor at the Catholic University of america who served in the State Department as a Policy Planner between 2014 and 2016, working on the russia and ukraine portfolio. With reminders what these sanctions entail, do they target and who will have much impact. Target and who will have much im act. ,. , impact. The target Government Enti is impact.

I think its very difficult to predict. Russia doesnt have equivalent economic tools that it can use against the us or the west, its amassed on the ukrainian and military border in that fashion but i think that there will be a response that there will be a response that registers, signals russian� s activism. That registers, signals russians activism. President biden said russians activism. President biden said he didnt russians activism. President biden said he didnt want biden said he didnt want things to escalate but he opposed these sanctions regardless. Do you think they will continue to be an escalation .

I think the largest problem for both president s biden and putin is that there are no rules, rules of engagement, but especially in the case of the cyber domain. But its a case in other domains as well. Its a case of both leaders riding the tiger and it will be very difficult for them to manage the ensuing and increasing competition and conflict between the two countries.

His priorities are clearly domestic and recovering from the pandemic on the cheap Foreign Policy challenge of the United States is china, not 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. 0ur 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. I 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 Cross Examination by the prosecution, and he decided that the risk was too great. 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. Barbara plett usher, bbc news, minneapolis. Newly released footage from Police Body Cameras 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. Adam toledo appeared to have his hands raised when he was shot in the early hours of march 29th. The video shows a Police Officer running after the teenager in a neighbourhood on the citys west side. The policeman orders him to stop and show his hands, but when the boy complies, he is shot in the chest. Police says the boy was holding a gun, but the family Attorney Says he was not holding it at the moment he was shot. Those videos speak for themselves. Adam, during his last second of life, did not have a gun in his hand. The officer screamed at him, show me your hands. Adam complied, turned around. His hands were empty when he was shot in the chest, at the hands of the officer. This is the reaction from the mayor of chicago, lori lightfoot. Even as our understanding of this incident continues to evolve, this remains a complicated and nuanced story, and will must proceed with deep empathy and calm. And importantly, peace. Patrick smith is a criminaljustice reporter with wbez. Hes in chicago now. Talk us through this latest incident, what exactly happened . Police responded to the Little Village neighbourhood here in chicago, with reports of shots being fired. It shows the Police Officer chasing the 13 year old, adam toledo, prosecutor saying that a gun was handed to him, and you can see it, you can see and hear the officer telling the boy to stop and after a brief chase, he does stop, as he is directed, and then there is a freeze frame shared by the Police Department which shows him with a gun in his hand, behind his back, but the officer tells him to show his hands, raised his hands and he raises his hands up and as you heard the attorney say, it does not appear there is a gun in his hand but his hands are being raised above his head. There have been appeals for calm. What is the mood like at the moment . What i heard is, just a lot of horror, people who are so upset by this tragic event. There is a small but vocal group now, my understanding is there is a much larger demonstration planned for tomorrow evening and there are preparations being made here with businesses boarding up their windows, and an extra Police Presence out on the streets, before any sort of major response to this video. This happened a couple of weeks ago, the video was released through public pressure, not by a court order as often has to be done. Is that right. Thats absolutely right. Initially after the shooting, we found out there was a 13 year old boy who was killed, there was a lot of interest in this video being released. Initially the city said they werent going to release it, they could release it because the person was a juvenile, the reverse that, and there has been this waiting period they said because they were waiting for the family to view the videos before the public good. View the videos before the public good public good. The family watch the videos public good. The family watch the videos on public good. The family watch the videos on tuesday, public good. The family watch the videos on tuesday, and i public good. The family watch i the videos on tuesday, and then here we have to days later, the video released publicly. What video released publicly. What has happened video released publicly. What has happened to video released publicly. What has happened to the video released publicly. What has happened to the officer. Has happened to the officer involved . Has anyone been charged . Is currently on administrative duty which is routine after shooting here. I spoke with his attorney a bit ago. He doesnt think there is any reason there will be criminal charges. But some might feel differently. Thank you very much forjoining us.

Buckingham palace has released details of those wholl be able to attend prince philips funeral on saturday. Theres a limit of 30 guests. 0ur 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, will be between them. 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. One of hong kongs most prominent pro democracy activists goes on trial on friday under the territorys new Draconian National security law, which critics say erodes the citys rights and freedoms. In a separate case, mr lai is also expected to receive a Jail Sentence for another crime. The bbc� s Danny Vincent has had exclusive access to mr lai over the past nine months since his arrest and has this report. Billionaire, activist and a staunch critic of beijing. Jimmy lai is also the owner of hong kongs last remaining opposition newspaper. He now faces possible life in prison in a case symbolising chinas tight grip on the city. When he was arrested, supporters gathered outside the Police Station, awaiting his release. Weve followed jimmy lai and his newspaper since he was first arrested nine months ago, as his supporters gathered outside a Police Station awaiting his release. Since the introduction of the new law, hong kong has experienced dramatic changes. 0utspoken critics, Street Protesters and even journalists like me are under increased pressure. Im a journalist come here, come here i am investigating you after his release on bail, We Metjimmy Lai in his mansion home. Do you think about the contrast between this and the prospect of living. . In prison . This is just living my life peacefully. But if im injail, im living my life meaningfully. Because you must fear some things, for yourfamily, for hong kong, for your loved ones . Yes, i do have fear. Youre right. Hey, good morning, everybody. This is a very nice day in hong kong today. Despite the fear, jimmy lai continued his criticism of beijing. Livestreaming from his newspaper headquarters, hed broadcast his talks with prominent western political figures on a weekly basis. Yeah, i think the Freedom Of Speech is in danger here, in hong kong. Beijing says the new laws were needed to restore stability and end violent protest in the city. And the laws also make jimmy lais broadcasts a risky move. Given their vague wording, its unclear if the discussions could land him with even more charges. His every word spoken could be used against him. Good morning, how are you . Beforejimmy is finally detained, we meet him one last time. Im prepared for the worst. If the worst comes, that means the most effective way that i can bring the worlds attention to hong kong. Tomorrow, jimmy lai is expected to begin serving jail time for an earlier crime, protesting against the government. And his trial, under the new law, begins. According to beijing, the charges against him are equal to treason. Theyve compared the seriousness of his alleged crimes to murder. The fate of Activists Likejimmy Lai will set a new precedent for hong kong. The space for dissent is shrinking. Danny vincent, bbc news, hong kong. While the coronavirus pandemic has kept most of us locked down, its impact on the Natural World has been more positive. Sir David Attenborough has made a documentary exploring how our relationship with wildlife and nature has changed during covid. 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. David shukman 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, and its got to come, because if it doesnt we will lose the lot. Sir David Attenborough speaking to David Shukman there. The Paint Supplier Dulux has launched an investigation no doubt to avoid a whitewash after the Company Posted on social media mocking Tottenham Hotspur football club.

To mark the occasion, dulux showed its distinctive mascot, an old english sheepdog, inspecting whether spurs� s billion dollar stadium is in need of a link or something or other.

Dulux tweeted, he might do a betterjob. Mixing up might do a betterjob. Mixing up some more, dulux showed tottenhams Furphy Cabinet stripped bare in response to a suggestion they may wish to store their pains there.

Mark lobel, bbc news. Remarkable. We try to bring you the latest and something late here on bbc news. Ill be back with a headline soon. 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.
