welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. two men convicted of the murder of the american civil rights leader, malcolm x, are set to be exonerated. he was shot dead in new york in 1965 as he prepared to give a speech. the manhattan district attorney said muhammad al aziz and khalil islam did not get the justice they deserved. the conviction of a third man, thomas hagan, has not been overturned. earlier i spoke to phil bertelsen. he is series producer and director of the netflix documentary series who killed malcolm x? his documentary was the reason this issue was brought to light. he described how it felt to change history. it feels extraordinary i have to say, and thanks for having me and thanks for reporting on the story. it is often that we do this job of ours in reporting whether it's news or stories of historical meaning and our only hope is that they have impact, and in this case, it did. so we're eternally grateful, and happy for the families. yeah, it certainly did. well, have you heard from the families, friends or even lawyers of muhammad aziz and khalil islam? yes, we've been in contact with the lawyers for the families, and they've communicated their gratitude to us as well for, you know, inspiring this reinvestigation, which the manhattan da took on right about the time our series began airing on netflix. and there were doubts, weren't there, right from the beginning from a lack of evidence, we had thomas hagan, who was convicted of the murder, testifying the other two were not involved, muhammad aziz had an alibi. how was all that ignored and how easy was it to find those inconsistencies? well, you know, it might surprise your listeners and viewers to know that this evidence was hiding in plain sight all these years, for decades. much of what we revealed in the documentary was known. much of it was published in biographies, written about malcolm, particularly the manning marable biography, life of reinvention, even the autobiography of malcolm x had kernels of evidence, and the fbi had a treasure trove of documents that we were able to uncover through the freedom of information act that led us down this path. and it was — it'sjust, you know, the fact that we were able to assemble it all and connect the dots, i think, that made it kind of inarguable, and the innocence project and the shanies law firm took it from there. and this injustice that black muslim men were hastily arrested and tried on shaky evidence i guess is something that malcolm x himself would have rallied against? no question. i mean, malcolm stood firmly against this kind of abuse on the part of law enforcement, he was no friend to local law enforcement, made that known, and in fact, that antipathy between malcolm and the new york police department in particular may have been a part of the complicity in this crime, that is to say they didn't offer him the protection he deserved. yeah, and thomas hagan has served his time for the crime. do you think there are others out there who are still poland's border force say around 1,000 migrants are still gathered at the frontier with belarus as the european union stepped up its efforts to resolve the crisis. tensions increased yesterday after polish forces used tear gas and water cannon to stop migrants trying to enter the country. 0ur correspondent, jenny hill, sent this report from the polish side of the border, and a warning — it does contain flashing images. fury, frustration at the gateway to europe. polish border guards released this footage. night after night, they say, belarusian troops force migrants to try and breach the border. that's what sagvan told us too. and say, "go, go, go, go. every people must go." he tell you, "if you come back, i'll shoot you, i'll kill you." sagvan and his family are now recovering in a polish hospital. they paid more than $10,000 to get to the border, spent more than two weeks trapped there, in the cold, with almost no food or water. you don't know what's happening there. it's so difficult. you see a child asking you for bread. the polish government would prefer you not to see the human tragedy unfolding in what is one of the most beautiful parts of this country. this is tourist terrain. but visitors, journalists, aid workers are now banned from the forests which line the border. this is a special place, yes. slawek�*s bike hire business is in the exclusion zone. like others here, he tells us it's commonplace to see migrants hiding in the woods, afraid polish guards will push them back. translation: we're not going to change it by building fences. - it's up to us to manage it so tourism can go on. but it should happen in a humanitarian way. it's unacceptable that someone freezes to death 100 metres my house. at least eight people have died on the polish side. in six weeks, at this small local hospital, they've treated nearly 200 migrants. translation: it's| extremely difficult, when we are faced with this suffering, when you have to tell a husband that his wife isn't going to survive or when we see a family being separated because the father is taken away by the border guard and the mother and child stay at the hospital. it's starting to get dark now and the temperature is beginning to drop. tonight, as they do every night, people will try to get across the border, make it to these forests. this is testing the fundamental values of this community, this country, the eu itself. but for the people who end up in this woodland, this is simply about survival. jenny hill, bbc news, bialowieza forest. let's get some of the day's other news. a court in the us has sentenced a man, who became known as the q—anon shaman, to 41 months in prison, for his role in the storming of congress by trump supporters in january. prosecutors described jacob chansley as the "flagbearer of the capitol riot events" who was pictured during the violent protests wearing a horned headdress. the american rapper young dolph has been shot and killed in tennessee. he was in a cookie shop in memphis when the shooting happened. in 2017 he survived after being shot three times in los angeles. last year his album topped the billboard 200 charts. police say so far no—one has been arrested. a british f—35 fighterjet has crashed into the sea during a routine operation in the mediterranean. the pilot ejected and has safely returned to the royal navy aircraft carrier hms queen elizabeth. an investigation is under way. actor alec baldwin and other producers on the film, rust, are facing a new lawsuit over the fatal shooting of the cinematographer, halyna hutchins. the film's supervisor, mamie mitchell alleges that the script didn't call for a gun to be fired. her lawyer accused alec baldwin of "playing russian roulette" when he fired the gun without checking it. mr baldwin and the film's producers have not yet commented. i never want what happened on our set to ever happen to anyone else. in our opinion, mr baldwin chose to play russian roulette when he fired a gun without checking it and without having the armourer do so in his presence. his behaviour and that of the producers on rust was reckless. 0ur correspondent in los angeles david willis gave us more information about this latest suit. well, mamie mitchell was the script supervisor on the film rust, and she was only a few feet away from halyna hutchins when she was shot and killed on that set. ms mitchell was the person who rang 911, the emergency services, to call for some sort of medical assistance. now, she is suing the producers of the film, including alec baldwin, for negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress and deliberate infliction of harm, and she is seeking undisclosed damages. now, at a press conference today, she relived some of the final moments of halyna hutchins's life, and she said, "i heard someone moaning, i turned around, "the director was falling upwards and holding his upper "body and then i turned around towards alec and i saw "halyna hutchins going down to the left of me." it was a very emotional press conference as far as mamie mitchell was concerned, and crucially, she claimed in her lawsuit that the script that they were actually filming or about to film in this particular moment didn't actually call for alec baldwin to fire a gun at all. david, have we still not heard back from alec baldwin about this? and also, how are the other lawsuits progressing, and what kind of time frame are we looking at? well, there was another lawsuit filed just last week from the chief lighting technician on the set. he also is suing for negligence. but i think it's fair to say that these two lawsuits will be probably just the first of many. there's been no official response from alec baldwin or the producers, but alec baldwin has previously responded to this, and he said in a statement that he was "heartbroken over the incident "and was cooperating with the police investigation." he also said that an incident like this on the set of a film was a one—in—a—trillion episode. crucial to all this, though, of course, and we still don't know what is the state of enquiry in this regard, was what a live round of ammunition was doing in a gun on that film set. a state of emergency has been declared in the canadian western province of british columbia, after a major storm caused flooding and landslides. one woman was killed when a road washed away, and two others remain missing. thousands have been forced to leave their homes and access has been blocked to canada's biggest port, vancouver. holger schwichtenberg is chair of the bc dairy association and he has a dairy farm himself in agassiz, not far from the flooded area. thank

second woman to be in this role for the uk. before that, she said of the ambassador to china and has also worked in russia and the eu. last week, ambassador woodward attended cop26 in glasgow and has been vocal on the crisis in myanmar and sudan. i spoke to her earlier about herfirst year sudan. i spoke to her earlier about her first year in the job. we began by getting her thoughts on the future of sudan. we saw them taking risks for democracy, and that demand cannot be put back in a bottle, as it were. we have had days now of internet blackouts, phones card, people killed, attacks on hospitals, but we are not yet seeing real progress towards a dialogue and reconciliation, but that is what we're working towards. and the security council here in new york has been intensely discussing this, and spoke as one as we called for an end to violence and sudan. you one as we called for an end to violence and sudan.— violence and sudan. you are callin: violence and sudan. you are calling for— violence and sudan. you are calling for a _ violence and sudan. you are calling for a return - violence and sudan. you are calling for a return of - calling for a return of abdallah hamdok, the prime minister, should you back another candidate? is that the solution? the security council supported hamdok very clearly at the end of september. what we want to do in the un through the un mission in sudan is to support sudan's transition to democracy, and that is not what is on offer under the coup that was done by president burhan. and finally, to myanmar, 289 days since the military coup there, and yet there are fears that balance will be replicated, the type of violence we saw against the ring fingers on the north—west of the country, this is against groups like the people's defence force. —— rohingyas. yes, we are finding that very concerning india, reports of villages being burnt and the same sort of attacks, as you say, that we saw mirroring the earlier attacks and recurrent state. we are seeing now and other areas, state. we are seeing now and otherareas, in state. we are seeing now and other areas, in the north—west of myanmar, so we need to see an end to violence, we need to see civilian safety, humanitarian aid getting on. half the population of myanmar could be impoverished by next year and we need, of course, to see the release of political prisoners including aung san suu kyi and an end to the violence and beginning of dialogue. that is dame barbara woodward. apple says it will allow people to carry out repairs on the devices by giving them access to genuine parts and tools. it will offer parts for the iphone screen battery and camera, coming after months of increasing pressure on apple from the grassroots right to repair movement, which once individual shops and people to be able to fix electronics. pop star britney spears has given a sneak—peek into how she plans to use her new—found freedom, after gaining control of her personal life and estate earlier this month. the singer posted a video on her twitter and instagram handles in which she talked about her wanting to be "an advocate for people with real disabilities" and her hopes that her story will create impact and "make changes in the corrupt system". she also reached out to herfans, thanking them for their support. and the free britney movement, you guys rock, honestly. my voice was muted and threatened for so long, and i wasn't able to speak up or say anything. and because of you guys, and the awareness of kind of knowing what was going on and delivering that news to the public for so long, you gave an awareness to all of them. and because of you, i honestly think that you guys saved my life. well one of those fans who's been there from day one is caleb marshall. he told me why he became a britney fan in the first place. since i saw her first video, �*baby, one more time', i was five years old. i saw her doing backflips on the tv and i was just enthralled by her and her stage presence, and the way she carried herself, and that inspired me to start my entire career. ever since i was a child i have looked up to her, not only because she is an incredible performer but she is so strong and has always been so vocal about her opinion and who she is, and she is so unapologetically herself. and it gave me the confidence then to be myself and pursue a career in the performing arts. and so, that's why its been so sad to see these past 13 years, not hearing her voice, not really knowing where britney went, is she 0k? so i'm really excited now that we're hearing the britney we all fell in love with. you say work in the performing arts, shall we have a quick look at your reaction to the news? oh, my god! let's have a look. pop music. jamie's gone?! sorry. music stops. jamie's gone? out of the conservatorship? cheers. oh, this is a good day. pop music restarts. we're gonna sweat booties, free britney! in, in, out, throw. you just gave me a reason. your reaction to that clip was also quite something. people couldn't see that off air. there you go. why is this such an important issue for you? oh, my god, like i said, this has been 13 years. i have been following this every single day on this site called breatheheavy byjordan miller, and it's been so exciting because everyone has thought that britney fans were conspiracy theorists and that we didn't know what we were talking about, and that we were reading between the lines, so to finally have this moment to be validated and know that we were right, and there were things going on, and then to know that her dad was removed... i mean, i was in the middle of a live stream that day. my booty army members were messaging me because they knew i'm such a big fan and advocate, but i couldn't watch the court hearing because i was performing. and they were telling me as i was doing this live stream that jamie's off of her conservatorship and britney was free of her father, and that was the most genuine exciting reaction because it has been something that we genuinely thought would never happen. presumably it got a bit more excitingly, because britney knew about the free britney movement and then thanked you personally, didn't she? i mean, yeah, she spoke about free britney and thanked everyone who has fought for so long and so hard to give her a voice. and so that, i was listening to the clip as it was playing and it was just making my heart so happy because i never thought we'd get to hear britney speak the truth or even acknowledge the movement or thank herfans. because remember last year, her father said that the free britney movement was a conspiracy. and so we now know that that is not true, and it's amazing to hear her talk about it. conspiracy over, britney is turning a new chapter in her life, what would you like to see in that chapter? i want her to be happy. she owes nobody anything. she does not ever have to get on a stage again, she does not have to perform again, ijust want her to live her best life. like she said in her instagram, she just got an atm card, she just got her car keys. she is a0 years old and is just now starting to have autonomy and to live her own life, so i really hope she gets the chance to do whatever she wants. if that's to do an 0prah interview, i would love that, i think that would be amazing. but if it's to move to hawaii and sit on the beach and make instagram videos every day, then i hope she does that because she has given us enough. that given us enough. was caleb marshall, and of course that was caleb marshall, and of course we are always open it britney would like to interview with us as well. the queen has held herfirst official engagement at windsor castle since she missed sunday's remembrance service at the cenotaph. her majesty met the outgoing chief of the defence staff, general sir nick carter, days after she cancelled attendance at the cenotaph for the remembrance service on sunday. the queen was said to have sprained her back. the prince of wales, during his trip tojordan, was asked how about her majesty's condition. she's all right, thank you very much, thank you. is she 0k? would you send our best wishes? yes, yes, once you get to 95, you know, it's not quite as easy as it used to be. bad enough at 73! zfrom mars, z from mars, thank you for watching. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @marklobel. hello there. the weather isn't changing in too much of a hurry over the next few days, because high pressure keeping things dry, settled, and very mild still for this time of year. so another mild and quite breezy day to come on thursday. dry weather for most of us, but not everywhere. we have got this weather front sitting close to the north of scotland, so that'll produce outbreaks of rain mainly for northern and western scotland, but high pressure to the south dominating the weather for most places. and, with that high pressure, we're drawing in winds in a south—westerly direction, so bringing the mild air and the orange colours really right across the uk. might be a bit of a chilly start for some southern and eastern parts of england first thing, the odd misty patch around. generally, the cloud will increase from the west through the day, but there will be some spells of sunshine for east anglia and the southeast, up towards eastern scotland, as well. still a bit of rain to come for the northwest of scotland, but the breeze blowing over the mountains is likely to create something called a foehn effect, lifting temperatures to around 17 celsius for aberdeenshire. widely 111—15 the top temperature — and compare that to the average temperature this time of year of only about nine celsius, so well above average. it'll be windy again particularly in the northwest, with gusts of wind about a0 mph, but lighter winds further south. so through thursday evening now and heading overnight into friday, it'll be a pretty cloudy picture. a bit of low cloud and hill fog likely, some drizzle around some coastal hills in the west once again. but it will be a very mild and certainly frost—free start to friday morning, but we've still got that rain continuing across the western isles and northern highland, as well. into friday, no great changes — there's that weather front across the north of scotland, there's the high pressure in charge for most places. so quite a cloudy picture, i think, but predominantly dry through the day on friday, away from the north and northwest of scotland where we've got that weather front continuing to bring outbreaks of rain. temperatures again getting up to 14—15, even 16 celsius through the foehn effect once again through the east of scotland. it won't last forever, this mild weather, though — into the weekend, saturday, we'll see a cold front moving south across the northern half of the uk. into sunday, that slips its way further south, and it'll introduce the blue colours, the colder air mass with these northerly winds moving across all areas. so gradually through the weekend, things will be turning colder. we'll still look at temperatures in double figures through the day on saturday but, by the time we get to sunday, things will be noticeably cooler — maybe time to dig out the winter coat. bye for now. this is bbc news, the headlines:
