britain's prime minister ignores calls for him to apologise to the archbishop of canterbury following a row over the government's new immigration policy. prince harry says he wants to make sure the "right people" are around queen elizabeth — to "protect her". —— prince harry says that america feels like home. and the actorjohnny depp testifies that his ex wife became violent when their relationship soured and her behaviour and turned him to drink and drugs. we begin in the ukrainian port city of mariupol, where a russian deadline for ukrainian troops to lay down their weapons has passed. this map of mariupol shows russian forces in control of the areas in orange. they're advancing in the areas showing the diagonal lines. although the port city is surrounded, it hasn't fallen yet, with ukrainian forces and civilians sheltering in the azov—stal iron and steel works. this drone video released by the russian state agency shows the massive, four square—mile steel plant. thousands of people are inside the sprawling complex of tunnels and workshops which russia has been attacking consistently. however, the ukrainians refuse to surrender. troops have pleaded for international assistance for the 500 wounded soldiers and hundreds of women and children who are hiding inside. a marine commander in the stronghold issued this video. here's mariupol�*s deputy mayor on the civilians still trapped in the city. the city has about 130,000 citizens still in mariupol, they are living with continuous shelling and air strikes. a new humanitarian corridor has been agreed between russia and ukraine — and it's been reported a small convoy of civilians has managed to leave city in the past few hours. however trust in russia to provide a safe passage for civilians is low. moscow has previously failed to honour these ceasefires. it also hasn't yet confirmed that it has let its troops know they are planning to evacuate civilians. here's one resident who has already fled mariupol — but his grandmother is still there. my my grandma and a lot of people who i know and mariupol, they still want to be there, but i know some people who are still young and they still don't want to leave. they don't know what's happening in ukraine. they are thinking that what's happening in mariupol is happening everywhere. they don't have the full information at all because they don't have internet. the deputy mayor agrees. we believe only in the military ability— we believe only in the military ability of— we believe only in the military ability of mariupol, that's why our president— ability of mariupol, that's why our president has asked for weapons, hard artillery tanks and armoured vehicles — hard artillery tanks and armoured vehicles to, as i heard, the ukrainian _ vehicles to, as i heard, the ukrainian army has potential to make this operation, but we need weapons as soon_ this operation, but we need weapons as soon as _ this operation, but we need weapons as soon as possible. the blockade of mariupol has now lasted more than 50 days — far longer than the russians ever expected — and it's had a big impact on russia's military strategy overall. here's one defence expert on that. the fact that those ukraine forces have held on to their position much longer than anybody had anticipated is having a significant operational effect, because it is tying down many thousands russian forces and direction of affiliated forces who could otherwise be redeployed northwards for at the main battle that is now starting, the battle for donbas. and that's really important because russian resources are not unlimited. in the east of ukraine, the russian military has seized most of the country's border areas, the areas coloured in red on this map. it continues to build troops along the eastern front — streching some 300 miles— and its forces have now fully withdrawn from around the capital kyiv and northern ukraine to belarus and russia. the russian defence ministry claims to have hit 1,053 ukrainian military facilities overnight saying that up to a0 ukrainian military personnel were killed in a single high—precision missile strike. the residents,

president paid an unexpected visit. charles michel also visited the city of borodyanka — which was heavily shelled by the russians earlier this month. is that it is followed by the visit of ursula bonder line. several western leaders have also recently visited ukraine and held meetings with president zelensky. i am convinced that what you are demonstrating day to day, this a demonstration that you are totally committed to the democratic principle, for the freedoms, and you don't fight the future, we know that you fight for the european fundamental principles and values. let's crossover now at kyiv. we have had an update from the ukrainian deputy prime minister and the humanitarian corridor from mariupol, it's simply not good news.— it's simply not good news. know. i mean, it's simply not good news. know. i mean. they've _ it's simply not good news. know. i mean, they've been _ it's simply not good news. know. i mean, they've been trying - it's simply not good news. know. i mean, they've been trying for - it's simply not good news. know. i l mean, they've been trying for weeks to establish a humanitarian corridor on this kind of scale. they haven't managed it since early march, despite repeated efforts from organisations like the icrc, the international committee of the red cross. they spent several days trying to get the necessary security permissions, find you lack everything down to make it safe to bring people out, but improved impossible than. we had that spark of hope today to the point where we had the mayor giving people specific locations in that city, places where they could go to get on these buses and to be brought out. at the problem is trying to at this stage of the battle gets both sides to stop fighting, russia we know really want to tighten their grip on mariupol. they want to take the city entirely so they can free up those troops and move them to the battle lines in the east. so even though we saw pictures earlier of what looked like a few people managing to leave mariupol, it was nowhere near the 6000 that they were hoping that they might be able to evacuate today. ah, might be able to evacuate today. a lack of trust as well and what russia is saying has played a parts in this latest attempt to for a required artist to work. film. in this latest attempt to for a required artist to work.- in this latest attempt to for a required artist to work. oh, i think very much — required artist to work. oh, i think very much so. _ required artist to work. oh, i think very much so, and _ required artist to work. oh, i think very much so, and actually - very much so, and actually committing that's reflected as well in this message that you played from the marine commander in the steel works. russia has offered on several consecutive days now the opportunity for those fighters to actually eat, to surrender, they said they would be allowed to leave alive, that they would be treated according to their rights under the geneva convention, but i think it's notable that that offer was not taken and instead you see this marine commander appealing to the international community, appealing to our leaders to try to extract them instead. i think what that tells you at this stage of the battle for mariupol is that russia's where it is not trusted. there's no faith in it, and as we hear, they would rather try to appeal to be taken out by different country, the probability of which i think is incredibly unlikely to amount to a mission of that size and complexity by a third country to rescue those fighters and the civilians in the plant is almost impossible at this stage. yet, they choose not to surrender, and i think as you say there, that shows a lack of faith and a lack of trust in what russia says. and a lack of trust in what russia sa s. .. and a lack of trust in what russia sa 5, ,,., ., and a lack of trust in what russia sa 5, ., ., . ~' and a lack of trust in what russia sa s. ., ., . ~ ., ., and

partly collapsed blocks of flats blackened by shelling and you know there are bodies of people under that rubble who were sheltering in the basement when the building was hit. i think it's a striking thing to show to a world leader, and certainly ukraine have been doing that. and these visits as well they have symbolic value, diplomatic value, they show the world standing with ukraine, but what president zelensky keep saying and what he could again very strongly last night was that diplomacy and visits are all very important, but what they really want is donations of weapons, and president zelensky said very clearly that countries that have those weapons and are storing them have, and his words, a moral duty to get them to ukraine at this point so they can continue to try to resist they can continue to try to resist the new russian advance. ladle the new russian advance. we hear that message _ the new russian advance. we hear that message time _ the new russian advance. we hear that message time and _ the new russian advance. we hear that message time and time - the new russian advance. we hear| that message time and time again. the new russian advance. we hear - that message time and time again. as always, for the time being, thank you so much. my colleague there live in kyiv. germany says it will stop importing oilfrom russia by the end of the year to make the impact of sanctions more severe. currently around a quarter of the oil germany uses comes from russia. the german finance minister has admitted that stopping all russian oil imports now would hurt germany more than it would hurt president putin. he also blamed russia for the current global price rises and the internationalfood crisis. he's been talking with our economics editor faisal islam. just after the invasion of ukraine, the western world clubbed together to isolate russia, its financial system, its biggest businessmen, and its war chest of hundreds of billions in currency reserves as never before. but it wasn't enough to deter the aggression. absolutely key to this is the role of germany — heavily dependent on russian energy and effective source of hundreds of millions of euros being sent to the kremlin�*s companies every day. its finance minister, christian lindner, told the bbc it's russia that's responsible for the significant economic consequences of the war. there is an unprovoked, terrible war in ukraine, and russia is responsible for all geopolitical and macroeconomical risks which have their origin in this war. so russia is responsible forfood crisis, for example...? for example, inflation, food crisis, and the possible risk of a serious debt crisis in developing countries. at first, the stringent actions against moscow hit home, collapsing the value of its companies and its currency, the rouble, to record lows. but now, thanks to the flow of energy dollars and euros, it's recovered all of that lost value. when you hearfrom president zelensky last week that europe is sending $1 billion a day to russia for its oil and gas and that, "we don't understand how you can make money out of blood," and he pointed the finger directly at germany and hungary for blocking an oil embargo. no, we are not blocking, we are willing to stop all energy imports from russia, it's just a matter of time. when? when for the oil embargo? as fast as possible. this year? as fast as possible. it would cause a physical shutdown of your manufacturing sector, your car—makers, if you were to push the button right now? probably, and this is why we prefer sanctions which hurt him more than us as europeans and our single market. the relationship between germany and russia is absolutely key to the calculations of the kremlin in this war. the minister admitted this was a two—decade miscalculation and germany is now committed to independence from president putin, but they say doing so immediately is just not possible. faisal islam, bbc news, in washington. let me release these images which is from russia claiming of a successful flight of a ballistic missile which president putin said would make russia's enemies think twice. here is our russia editor, steve rosenberg with more on this. i is our russia editor, steve rosenberg with more on this. i think this is about — rosenberg with more on this. i think this is about a _ rosenberg with more on this. i think this is about a crime _ rosenberg with more on this. i think this is about a crime then _ this is about a crime then dropping a not—so—subtle hint, basically, russia is saying to the west, looked at us, guys, we have this very big, very powerful, very destructive new weapon. keep that in mind. now, that may sell has been in development for years, so this won't come as a big surprise. in fact, the pentagon says that it was warned by moscow about the launch. it considers that routine and not a threat, but the launch now at a time of hostility and ukraine, they sent a clear message to russia's opponents in the kremlin leader didn't hide that fact, because after congratulating his military chiefs on the test line she said this, he said "the missile would provide food for thought for those who in the heat of frenzied aggressive rhetoric try to threaten russia. president putin also said that this intercontinental ballistic missile has no equivalent in the world. he said it would penetrate any missile defence shield, but it is not ready to be deployed just yet. the defence ministry here says it needs to undergo more testing first. here in the uk, the prime minister has ignored calls from labour to apologise to the archbishop of canterbury and the church of england in the wake of a row about the government's immigration plans. during prime minister's questions, borisjohnson was pressed on claims that he is said to have made at a meeting of conservative mps last night about plans to send asylum seekers to rwanda. our deputy political editor, vicki young, reports. are there more fines coming, prime minister? borisjohnson is desperate to change the subject and talk about anything other than his covid lawbreaking. a row with the archbishop of canterbury is one way of doing it. happy easter to all of you! in his easter sermon, justin welby criticised government plans to send asylum seekers to rwanda. in a private meeting with conservative mps, mrjohnson reportedly criticised the archbishop for being less vociferous in his condemnation of russian president vladimir putin than of government immigration policy. today, the labour leader demanded an apology. in fact, the archbishop called putin's war an act of great evil, and the church of england has led the way in providing refuge to those fleeing. would the prime minister like to take this opportunity to apologise for slandering the archbishop and the church of england? the prime minister didn't repeat what he'd said behind closed doors but... i was slightly taken aback for the government to be criticised over the policy that we have devised to end the deaths at sea, in the channel, as a result of cruel criminal gangs. i was surprised that we were attacked for that. lambeth palace has hit back, saying the archbishops of canterbury and york had condemned russia's invasion of ukraine as an act of great evil and spoken out repeatedly against it. it added, "they are gravely concerned by proposal to send migrants overseas." downing street insisted voters care more about policy than parties, but the snp don't think the prime minister will be forgiven. 82% of people in scotland say they believe the prime minister lied to this parliament and to the public about his lawbreaking covid parties. are they right, or should they not believe their lying eyes? we are going to get on with the job of delivering for the people of the whole of the united kingdom. for now, mrjohnson can leave it all behind — he's off to india on a trip which he says will concentrate on jobs, defence and energy security. prince harry says he's trying to ensure his grandmother, the production company for the film rest has been fined for failing to follow safety procedures after a report into the accidental shooting of the cinematographer in october. ms. hutchins was killed, the director was injured, as alec baldwin rehearsed with what he believed to be a safe gun. let's cross over to la, our correspondent is monitoring this price. a fine and some strong words in this. yes. is monitoring this price. a fine and some strong words in this. yes, you may remember— some strong words in this. yes, you may remember this _ some strong words in this. yes, you may remember this tragic _ some strong words in this. yes, you may remember this tragic incident l may remember this tragic incident happened in october last year when alec baldwin had been rehearsing a scene on set in a church on the outskirts of santa fe when it done he was holding discharged. he believed that dunn was called, ie not loaded with ammunition, but when it discharged, it hit both halyna hutchins and the director onset, joel sousa. she was airlifted to hospital but unfortunately died from her injuries. joe sousa has recovered. today, there was a report issued by the new mexico environment department occupational health & safety bureau and it is a scathing report. it concludes, basically, that the movie productions, the production company in charge knew that firearm safety procedures were not being followed onset and it says demonstrate the plain indifference to employee safety by failing to review work practices and take corrective action. this incident happened after there had been complaints by crewmembers about safety procedures not being followed and the report issued today had those industry—standard protocols been followed and this tragic incident which resulted in a fatal shooting and the injuring of another person would not have happened, so they've decided to impose the maximum possible fine, and that is just below $140,000. 50 maximum possible fine, and that is just below $140,000.— maximum possible fine, and that is just below $140,000. so the maximum ossible just below $140,000. so the maximum possible fine, _ just below $140,000. so the maximum possible fine, but _ just below $140,000. so the maximum possible fine, but this _ just below $140,000. so the maximum possible fine, but this isn't _ just below $140,000. so the maximum possible fine, but this isn't the - possible fine, but this isn't the end of it comic because there will still be a criminal investigation. yes. that's right. this is a separate investigation that took place, it was a fairly extensive investigation lasting some 1500 hrs, but it's completely separate to criminal investigations that have been carried out by the santa fe service department. that investigation continues. alec baldwin in december of last year did a very emotional sit down interview with abc news here in the united states where he said that if he could turn back time and change what had happened, he would, but he was not responsible. now that is an issue of some debate, because not only was he the actor who was holding the gun, but he is also a producer on the film. he one of the producers, so we don't yet know what will happen with the criminal investigation. that is ongoing, but very much farfrom investigation. that is ongoing, but very much far from the end of the matter. 1ng very much far from the end of the matter. �* , . .,y , very much

describes as, "the right people around her". the duke of sussex has given an interview to the american tv network, nbc, in which he talked about his visit last week with his wife meghan to see the queen, who turns 96 on thursday. it was just so nice to see her. she was in great form. she's always got a great sense of humour with me, and i'm making sure that she's protected with the right people around her. you make her laugh, that's what she always says. did you do it again? yes, yeah, i did. both meg and i had tea with her, so it was really nice to catch up with her. prince harry is currently in the netherlands for the invictus games which are now in their fifth year. this was harry arriving at the games in the hague on saturday. their aim is to help injured or sick military personnel or veterans and allow them to compete in a week of adaptive sports. during his interview the duke of sussex was also asked about whether he intended to remain living in the united states. home for me now, for the time being, its in the states. and it feels that way as well. does it? yeah. we've been welcomed with open arms, and we've got such a great community up in santa barbara, so. so you feel that is more like home for you? yeah. but prince harry didn't confirm whether he would attend events in the uk to mark the queen's platinum jubilee in june. i don't know yet, there's lots of things with security issues and everything else, so this is what i'm trying to do, trying to make it possible that i can get my kids to meet her. prince harry also spoke of how he felt the presence of his mother, diana, princess of wales, in his life. it has been over the last two years, more so than ever before. it's almost as though she's done her bit with my brother and now she's very much, like, helping me, got him set up, now she's helping me set up. that's what it feels like. for more on prince harry's interview and his curious choice of words about making sure that the queen is protected, here's our correspondent helena wilkinson. prince harry will know that whatever he says is going to be discussed, is going to be discussed, we will analyse it, trying to work out the meaning behind it, but he has said that he wants or is trying to protect the queen, and getting members of the royal family who are here, the queens children from her grandchildren who are doing that day to day royal duty, royal work, will perhaps be thinking, well, what does he mean what does he mean by it? ithink yes, — there will be eyebrows raised by it, but i think the positive thing from this is we know prince harry and meghan came over last thursday on the way to the invictus games. they had tea with the queen, which is what prince harry said in that interview, and she was, he said, doing great. and we know the queen, of course, has had some mobility problems, has had to cancel a number of events, in particular most recently, she didn't attend the easter service at windsor in the chapel there on sunday. so, the positive from that is that the queen is doing well, but what does harry mean by those comments in terms of getting the queen, making sure she's protected? we don't know. we may find out. more on that interview it with prince harry. lexmark coming up here an outside source. don't go away. we will have more on netflix and its drop in numbers and the interview with piers morgan. much more here on outside source. don't go away. hello there. it's been a lovely day across many parts of the country today with few, if any, showers in western areas and more sunshine across the uk. temperatures have been a bit higher than they were yesterday. we are going to see a pattern developing, though, over the next few days. have a look at the satellite picture. there's been a bit of cloud here and there. this cloud not coming in from the atlantic. those weather fronts and the area of low pressure will move down to the south heading towards biscay. that means we start to develop an easterly wind. that will start happening actually overnight tonight, and then strengthening over the next few days with the winds coming all the way from the baltic sea. with an easterly wind, you can often have sea fret, we certainly had some of that. this is a picture in scarborough earlier on in the day. most of that low cloud has been running into the northeast of scotland. we will see a lot of that clearing away overnight. clear skies for many parts of the country, a bit of cloud here and there perhaps, but we are going to find, because the breeze is picking up overnight, it's not going to be as cold as it was last night. a pinch of ground frost, maybe, in scotland and the north of england. generally, though, we'll start dry and sunny on thursday. we will probably see some cloud developing in the midlands, and the breeze will push that into wales and the southwest, and there may be one or two showers here. again, we've got the risk of some low cloud coming up to some of those north sea coasts, but it will feel colder right on those north sea coasts because the winds are coming in from off the north sea. so the higher temperatures, with those easterly winds are going to be in—land and towards that west up to 17—18 celsius. now, tomorrow, we've still got some high tree pollen levels across many parts of the uk. those levels probably dropping on friday and saturday as the winds are going to be stronger. certainly a stronger easterly wind on friday blowing in more cloud this time, especially across england and wales that could be thick enough to give a few drizzly showers. for more sheltered western parts of scotland, we've got more in the way of sunshine, so too for northern ireland and perhaps the northwest of england, but temperatures are going to be typically 12—15 celsius, so a cooler day thanks to the cloud and a stronger wind. this is the pressure pattern, though, that we are setting up as we head into the weekend. high pressure to the north, low pressure to the south, and a stronger wind coming in from the east. the weekend does look windy still and cloudy on saturday. there could be a few showers around as well. i think sunday looks dry, we should get a bit more sunshine and it should feel a bit warmer. hello, i'm kasia madera, this is outside source. the russian deadline for ukrainian troops in mariupol to surrender has passed. hundreds of people are trapped here — in a vast steel works in the port city — which has been shelled relentlessly for weeks. a ukrainian marine commander — says his soldiers won't give up — but pleads for help. translation: we are probably| facing our last days if not hours. the enemy is outnumbering us ten to one. they have advantage in the air, in artillery, and their forces on land and equipment and in tanks. russia says it has tested a new missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads — president putin tells those who threaten russia to think twice. britain's prime minister ignores calls for him to apologise to the archbishop of canterbury following a row over the government's new immigration policy. prince harry says he wants to make sure the "right people" are around queen elizabeth — to "protect her". and the actorjohnny depp testifies that his ex wife became violent when their relationship soured and her behaviour and turned him to drink and drugs. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky has said he's ready to swap russian prisoners of war, in exchange for the safe passage of civilians and troops from the beseigned city of mariupol. as the russian offensive intensifies in the eastern donbas region, mariupol remains a key russian target. it would link russian controlled regions in the east with crimea which it annexed from ukraine in 2014. there is an effort to rescue civilians from the city where 100 thousand people remain trapped. the azovstal steel works — a massive plant in the port city — has become the last centre of ukrainian resistance. our correspondent mark lowen has the latest. in the fog of war, russia's ferocious firepower is unrelenting. mariupol, once a thriving port city, besieged and broken. the last bastion of ukraine's resistance is the azovstal steel plant, perhaps a few thousand soldiers and civilians in its bunkers and tunnels — a patch of land holding out against one of the world's biggest armies. and now a rare voice from inside the nightmare. "this is our appeal to the world," says this marine. "it could be the last of our lives, we are probably facing our final days, if not hours. the enemy is outnumbering us 10—1." but today, again, they refused russia's latest surrender deadline — a defiant fight to the end. called's president says he has offered safe passage out of mariupol. across the country, in kyiv, it's all quiet on the western front. so, from a volunteer centre, they send supplies to the east — first aid, food and preparations for battle to those repelling the russian assault. among the staff is olena nicolena, whose cousin max is one of the last fighters in the steel plant. the pride of russian army here. they've gathered spoils of war from an invasion that has not gone moscow's way. this badge says "death is better than dishonour". olena hopes her cousin will return with more fragments of russian losses. she hasn't heard from him since the 8th of march. do you feel proud of him? yeah, totally. i would never have imagined my cousin to become a true hero of ukraine and hero of mariupol. there is obviously a very bitter sense of pride, in the sense that he is in a life—threatening situation. but i am very proud of him. i dream of the day when he will return and we will be able to meet again and i will be able to tell this to him. if you could give a message to max now, what would you say? max, i know that you are very strong, and your family loves you a lot, and we are waiting for you, and we are sure that you will come back and you will be our hero, and you will have a great life in a free ukraine after our victory. praying for that end are families across this nation — those like vladimir, whose only child, danilo, is also fighting in the steel plant. here in kyiv, they've fortified their monuments, but vladimir knows he can't protect what's most precious to him. | translation: it's very hard there, | they are running out of ammunition, but they don't want to surrender, because they can't abandon the civilians they're protecting. i used to prepare him for the army, so maybe it's my fault hejoined. i'm pretty sure i'll see him again, but until then, danilo, i love you, and i'm waiting for you. 500 miles from the front line, the emotional distance can seem further still, with the agony of helplessness comes the hope and dread of news. mark lowen, bbc news, kyiv. next we re going to hear from piers morgan. he 5 ever—present on social media. he was on tv a lot too until he stormed off good morning britian in a row over meghan markle. well he's making a come back on our tv screens. he's at the centre of a new network, talk tv which is being launched by rupert murdoch on monday. piers morgan's new show is also available on fox nation in the us and sky news australia. and there are columns for the sun and the new york post, as well as a book deal. so the world s going to be gettng a lot more of piers morgan. ros atkins has been speaking to him for radio 4 s the media show. you've talked about the importance of your show to democracy in its own way, upholding certain values. but doesn't democracy in some ways rest on all of us having facts, on us all having good information? so on fox nation where your programme is going to be streamed, tucker carlson also has a program, a documentary series which floated the idea that the storming of the capital was potentially an inside job organised by the fbi, by police insiders. no evidence was offered. is that a helpful contribution to the... i don't agree with that. so at what point do you get to the stage where someone is doing something that you don'tjust agree with what you think i do whatever uncomfortable with. .. surely i could find a hundred people who say the same things that you say to be abhorrent. i know some of them. in other words i could say to you, "look, are you responsible or accountable for everything that your colleagues say? because i don't think you are. in tucker carlson case, i watch his shows on one of the most highly rated... you go on his show. i go on his show, i like him. i agree with about 75% of the stuff he says. but i disagree with him about 25%. last time i checked that's fine. in a democracy, you are allowed to not agree with people that you work with. and i'm sure tucker, he and i have had spirited debates about gun control in america, for example. he is a very strong view about, i have an equally strong and different view about guns. if what you're saying is i can only go work somewhere where i've already checked and i agree with every view... no. hang on. my point would be, that's exactly what my show is going to be tackling. coming back to my point, what i want to understand is not that you should not go on to a network with someone you don't agree with, i don't take anyone suggesting that. what i'm trying to understand is you are positioning your programme as part of a reassertion of what democratic society should have. yes. free speech. yes. and yet you are going to work, particularly with reference to fox with a network, with a long track record of saying things that are not rooted in fact. also i... i would think that would make you a, do you why doesn't that make you feel... do you feel uncomfortable about the time i spent at cnn, given the way that cnn has gone in the last few years? hang on, hang on. given their obsession for example russian collusion. i mean, i could throw it back and say cnn is the bbc of the states in many ways. it's a network people look at and say everything they say must be truthful and factual. for two years they spun a lot of baloney about donald trump being in cahoots with the russians to fix the 2016 election. it turned out to be nonsense. now i think, i understand why they went on the road, i think they were chasing ratings. i look at that and i think, i didn't support that either. i thought it was wrong. i'll ask you that question again. but you're not going to work for cnn, you going to work for... no, i'm not going to work for cnn. my point being that all these networks get things wrong. all these networks have anchors, presenters who say stuff that i don't agree with. no one on fox expects me to go in with my slightly liberal tendencies and suddenly be a hard—core, right wing conservative. what i'm interesting is you keep flipping from talking about facts to talking about opinions. is that there no dividing line for you on that? i'm asking you about... everyone's entitled to an opinion. i'm not asking about... no, no. everyone's entitled to opinion. but they're not entitled to do is invent fa cts . that's my point. and that's what i will be doing on my show. let's try this, the way that trump spoke about covid, and the fact that he didn't accept defeat in the election, they were not out of the blue, they were completely in line and how he behaved in the campaign, they were completely in line with how we behaved in the early years of his presidency. and yet you treated him like a normal politician. this is what. .. i wrote over 120 columns about trump. if anybody bothered to go back and look. by the presidency you said, i've known trump for 12 years and genuinely like him. why did you feel warmly towards a man who had already spoken with great prejudice during the campaign, already showed a scant regard for the truth during the campaign entering his presidency and who all in many ways appeared to be undermining some of the tenants of american democracy? if you don't let me say, you're falling into the trap of being the, you know, trump is the devil. i'm not saying trumps the devil. i wrote 100 and 20 plus columns about trump for the daily mail website. about half were positive and half were critical. i thought that was a fear or analysis and assessment until his last year of the trump presidency. go back to the start of 2020, trump was heading for a comfortable reelection. not on the things that he did, but it he said on twitter which a lot of it was ludicrous. how can you forget what a politician say? they say is a great part of what they are. let me explain what a map. if you park the twitter, with the exception of the final year where i felt with the exception of the final year where i felt he with the exception of the final year where i felt he was with the exception of the final year where i felt he was a with the exception of the final year where i felt he was a catastrophe with the exception of the final year where i felt he was a catastrophe on covid. ifelt he where i felt he was a catastrophe on covid. i felt he showed no empathy of the george floyd murder which was disgraceful. i thought his refusal to accept the election was a disgrace that i felt the january six can't sequence of that behavior. i settled a very vehemently. what you're asking me to do is to guess what was good happen. i'm saying that i don't think that in the first three years trump was or the like if they think he was.— they think he was. you're making a show for uk _ they think he was. you're making a show for uk audience _ they think he was. you're making a show for uk audience and - they think he was. you're making a show for uk audience and us - they think he was. you're

around the world. my gut feeling is that twitter in particular has made the world a small place in terms of debate. you see the trending topics at the same almost in every country. everyday i look at the stuff of the news and i think, that would resonate all around the world. most things do whether it's ukraine, meghan and harry's antics, whether it's donald trump, whether he can make a comeback,

months tojuly. so let's take a look in more detail at what's been happening to netflix. netflix remains the world's leading streaming service with more than 220 million subscribers — and it had enjoyed uninterrupted quarterly growth in subscribers since october 2011. but the number of households using the streaming service fell by 200,000 in the first three months of the year as it faced stiff competition from rivals. shares in the streaming giant plunged by more than 30% on wall street on wednesday. netflix says that pulling out of russia in march in response to the ukraine war had cost it 700,000 subscribers. and another 600,000 people stopped using its service in the us and canada after it put up prices in january. netflix also says a surge in sign—ups during the coronavirus pandemic obscured the real picture around its growth. here's siobhan synnot, a journalist who writes about tv and film. if you were going to invent the perfect conditions for a streaming service. you couldn't do much better than the pandemic, really. people had time in the hands, they can't allow, there is a streaming service offering television 24/7. it's perfect other industries which benefited from the lockdown. look at peleton, they are experiencing dips and drops and so now it seems even as market services netflix. let's look at what netflix is planning to do to address all this. it's hinted it will crack down on households sharing passwords as it concentrates on signing up new subscribers. the streaming giant estimates more than 100 million households are breaking its rules by sharing passwords. although netflix's terms do not allow users living apart to share an account, it has long tolerated the practice, leading to password sharing. the boss of netflix reed hastings has previously described the practice as "something you have to learn to live with". at the moment its most expensive price plan allows up to four screens to view different shows at the same time, meaning anybody with access to a viewer's password has been able to watch for free. netflix now says it is testing new payment plans in developing markets like latin america to curb password sharing. they include allowing people to pay more to add "sub accounts" for up to two people they do not live with. for more on the issue of password sharing here's our technology correspondent, marc cieslak. they estimate something like 100 million passwords are shared. it is 220 million subscribers around the world. that's almost half of its subscriber base sharing those passwords. clamping down on activity like that should make a massive difference to its revenues. the rising cost of living is also having a major impact on households. in the uk for example, households cancelled more than 1.5 million streaming subscriptions in the first three months of the year, with more than a third of people saying they wanted to save money. here's marc cieslak again. people as tightened by the global economic crisis is meaning that with regard to services like streaming people are no longer seeing them is perhaps the thing that was something that they needed to spend their money on every single month. now perhaps they think of them is much more of a luxury. media experts say the biggest threat to netflix is intense competition from firms such as amazon, apple and disney. for more on the issues that neflix has been facing here's siobhan synnot again. inflation, the end of the pandemic, but also _ inflation, the end of the pandemic, but also increased competition from the likes— but also increased

up—to—date with our main story is ukraine zelensky is president said he's ready to swap russian prisoners of war in exchange for the safe passage of civilians and troops from the besieged city of

news. thank you for watching. hello there. it's been a lovely day across many parts of the country today with few, if any, showers in western areas and more sunshine across the uk. temperatures have been a bit higher than they were yesterday. we are going to see a pattern developing, though, over the next few days. have a look at the satellite picture. there's been a bit of cloud here and there. this cloud not coming in from the atlantic. those weather fronts and the area of low pressure will move down to the south heading towards biscay. that means we start to develop an easterly wind. that will start happening actually overnight tonight, and then strengthening over the next few days with the winds coming all the way from the baltic sea. with an easterly wind, you can often have sea fret, we certainly had some of that. this is a picture in scarborough earlier on in the day. most of that low cloud has been running into the northeast of scotland. we will see a lot of that clearing away overnight. clear skies for many parts of the country, a bit of cloud here and there perhaps, but we are going to find, because the breeze is picking up overnight, it's not going to be as cold as it was last night. a pinch of ground frost, maybe, in scotland and the north of england. generally, though, we'll start dry and sunny on thursday. we will probably see some cloud developing in the midlands, and the breeze will push that into wales and the southwest, and there may be one or two showers here. again, we've got the risk of some low cloud coming up to some of those north sea coasts, but it will feel colder right on those north sea coasts because the winds are coming in from off the north sea. so the higher temperatures, with those easterly winds are going to be in—land and towards that west up to 17—18 celsius. now, tomorrow, we've still got some high tree pollen levels across many parts of the uk. those levels probably dropping on friday and saturday as the winds are going to be stronger. certainly a stronger easterly wind on friday blowing in more cloud this time, especially across england and wales that could be thick enough to give a few drizzly showers. for more sheltered western parts of scotland, we've got more in the way of sunshine, so too for northern ireland and perhaps the northwest of england, but temperatures are going to be typically 12—15 celsius, so a cooler day thanks to the cloud and a stronger wind. this is the pressure pattern, though, that we are setting up as we head into the weekend. high pressure to the north, low pressure to the south, and a stronger wind coming in from the east. the weekend does look windy still and cloudy on saturday. there could be a few showers around as well. i think sunday looks dry, we should get a bit more sunshine and it should feel a bit warmer. this is bbc news. the headlines at 8... the deadline set by russia for ukrainian troops in mariupol to lay down their weapons has passed with no sign of surrender. president putin tells those who threaten russia to think twice. the governing body of men's tennis criticise wimbledon's decision to exclude russian and belarusian players from this years championships and says it has the potential to set a damaging precedent for the game. the prime minister has faced further criticism in the house of commons for his lockdown—breaking fine in advance of tomorrow's vote on whether there should be an investigation into claims
