we will start with developing news out of the us. this is georgia and this is to do with criminal proceedings against donald trump. you may be aware of the latest developments in georgia and those allegations of election interference. the way the system works there as there is something called a grand jury system. 0rdinary members of the public sit on that and they make a preliminary decision about whether terminal proceedings should go ahead. in this case, they did. there have been reports in the last few hours that personal details, some of those ordinary members of the public, have been allegedly leaked online. we now have allegedly leaked online. we now have a statement from the fulton county sheriff's office. let's take a look at that and then we can on partygate. it said in a statement... as a lead agency, our investigators are working closely with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to track down the origin of threats in fulton county and other jurisdictions. that is the statement just in the last hour or so from authorities are there. we understand that it relates to social media details, potential personal details, being put up online. now, normally, grand jury members, their names in thisjurisdiction are grand jury members, their names in this jurisdiction are put up and included in documents but nothing else. so there have been allegations that people have been putting up personal details, things like addresses or social media profiles. we have no knowledge about whether those details are correct or incorrect, but there have been reports of the last couple of hours. and then just in the last i we get that confirmation, not of the details, that of the fact that fulton county, the lead agency, is investigating. so that statement again. as the lead agency, our investigators are working closely with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to track down the origin of threats in fulton county and otherjurisdictions. so we will be keeping you across the details of that particular development. just more broadly of course you will know that trump has been hit with four sets of criminal charges. now the georgia case is the latest, others relating to january the 6th and others to election funding as well in new york. this is the latest one in georgia. there is also debates and legal arguments about where and when that case will be heard, whether it will be heard at a state or federal level. expect developments on that. this is a new and separate development. about potential personal details of members of the grand jury being put up members of the grand jury being put up online. as we get any more on that, of course, we will bring it to you. the latest on the canada whilst i was now. people have been told to get out and to get out now. these pictures show you some of the reasons why. extraordinary wild fires still burning stop northern territories are badly hit. the capital there is a place called yellowknife, 20,000 people live there and they have been told to get out by noon on friday. they have been given a deadline to evacuate their homes because the fires could reach the outskirts of the city by this weekend. so they've been given a deadline there of friday. some people have been leaving already, we can take a look at a picture of the queue on the motorway, the way in and out. there have been cast, we can't bring you those pictures right now but some people have been leaving already. the background to all of this is that canada, the worst wildfire season on record, 1100 fires are burning as of wednesday. let's get the very latest. live now to sara minogue who is a journalist for cbc north. thank you very much for coming in the programme. just 0rchestra what are the latest hits. the the programme. just orchestra what are the latest hits.— are the latest hits. the latest is that we have — are the latest hits. the latest is that we have a _ are the latest hits. the latest is that we have a out-of-controll are the latest hits. the latest is - that we have a out-of-control wired that we have a out—of—control wired of fire still burning. it is about 15 kilometres to the west of yellowknife and that fire really began to threaten our city earlier this week. we saw this unprecedented evacuation order for a city of 20,000 people. iam evacuation order for a city of 20,000 people. i am one of the people who did get out quite early and now we are kind of waiting to see what happens with that fire and how all of these people are going to get to safety. which is rather far away. yellowknife is a very remote community on the north side of great slave lake to. it is a long drive to get to any evacuation centres. the closest that has been established so far for people driving is over 1000 kilometres by car. i'd maxim a very huge distance. just talk it are the personal decision was for you. what personal decision was for you. what thin . s personal decision was for you. what things were — personal decision was for you. what things were you _ personal decision was for you. what things were you weighing up? i -

will be received? well, mohammed bin salman has been very keen to deepen. salman has been very keen to deepen relations with the uk, perhaps the most obvious example of that is the purchase of newcastle united by the sovereign wealth fund. but it is also deeper than that, there is also increasing numbers of students from saudi arabia coming to british universities, undergraduate and graduate students, there are group growing levels of cultural exchange and i think that mohammed bin salman will be open to that. but he will want other things as well. rumours are suggesting that he is after better access to military hardware that the uk has been selling to saudi over the years. there will be some serious demands coming from riyadh for london to deal with. let's return to frank's last point about about bringing up those difficult conversations about human rights that we have outlined. and frank basically, not particularly confident that even if those topics are raised anything and actually change. is that you shaking your head, you are of the same opinion? yes, completely. there are serious power dynamics and power imbalances at play here. saudi arabia is an incredibly powerful state, becoming more and more powerful by the day. we know that mohammed bin salman is the power behind the front. he is the power behind the front. he is the one that is driving this transformative vision and if some of these big projects, the neon project, this move away from oil, really do come off it will leave saudi arabia increasingly powerful. increasingly influential in the world stage. and the uk struggling to have a way of finding its own niche there. and so while rishi sunak may decide to raise these issues, he may well not and may think that it will do more harm than good to raise human rights concerns, and a certainly hope that he does raise them because it is incredibly important. it may be me he deems them to be sacrificed double in order to try and get access to this huge amount of money for the government, for the british economy and for the huge numbers of businesses that can benefit from the transformative processes going on in saudi arabia. transformative processes going on in saudi arabia-— saudi arabia. interesting. thank you ve much saudi arabia. interesting. thank you very much for— saudi arabia. interesting. thank you very much for coming _ saudi arabia. interesting. thank you very much for coming in _ saudi arabia. interesting. thank you very much for coming in the -

bradley cooper here? i think that everybody has a right to their- everybody has a right to their opinion on these things and in this specific instance, i know that the family saying that his nose was bigger and that their dad would have been totally fine with this, i think just because they are saying that in this particular instance, it still brings up a wider discussion about jewish representation in hollywood. i think that is worth examining. in this instance, the family is cool with it but i don't think it makes the conversation go away. the conversation _ the conversation go away. the conversation being a lot? about casting, is it a conversation specifically about the use of prosthetics and making changes that could be seen as insensitive or is it a wider one about casting and who plays which runs? t it a wider one about casting and who plays which runs?— plays which runs? i think it is both. i think— plays which runs? i think it is both. i think there _ plays which runs? i think it is both. i think there are - plays which runs? i think it is - both. i think there are particularly not a lot of roles available for jewish actors in general. i think this stems back from the eastern european dues who were the ones who were found in hollywood a long time ago but because of anti—semitism they were not casting dues in rolls nor whetherjewish roles available. i think that has been an issue that has plagued hollywood for a long time. while there certainly have been opportunities for dues in hollywood and there have beenjewish roles, they are not going to deuce. whether it is a bigger nose, frizzy hair are a whether it is a bigger nose, frizzy hairare a thick whether it is a bigger nose, frizzy hair are a thick new york accent, all of these things that are certainly signifiers in some ways thatjews are different kinds of people and don't all fit the specific stereotypes.- people and don't all fit the specific stereotypes. let's move it more broadly _ specific stereotypes. let's move it more broadly about _ specific stereotypes. let's move it more broadly about casting -
