president donald trump. instead, trump's inteview with conservative commentator tucker carlson will air on x, formerly known as twitter. trump is currently the frontrunner for the republican nomination. live to new york with cbs news correspondent jarred hill. hello to you, jared. trump is not going to be there but he is likely to be part of the conversation. yes. to be part of the conversation. yes, that is almost _ to be part of the conversation. yes, that is almost certain. _ to be part of the conversation. yes, that is almost certain. we - to be part of the conversation. yes that is almost certain. we already know that the likes of the former newjersey governor have been mentioning a number of times that he really wants to showcase here in this debate and throughout his campaign why he believes that the former president should not be really in contention for the nomination for the presidency here. but on top of that, there is some talk from fox news that there will be other topics brought up. we also know that with some cbs news polling that likely republican voters will want to hear what these candidates say they would do for themselves on their own in terms of things like immigration as well as inflation. while we are expecting former president donald trump to be a big part of the conversation, there is also the potential likelihood that we could see some other topics as well. it we could see some other topics as well. , , , we could see some other topics as well. , , _ ., well. it is trippy for the republican _ well. it is trippy for the republican

for them to strike between taking aim, taking shots at donald trump, knowing that he has a lot of republican support? it trump, knowing that he has a lot of republican support?— republican support? it definitely is. that is something _ republican support? it definitely is. that is something we - republican support? it definitely is. that is something we have i republican support? it definitely i is. that is something we have seen through the course of this campaign. ever since these indictments started to roll in, their wavering of some of these candidates and trying to figure out how to showcase that former president donald trump should not be in the running because they believe that the legal cases take up too much air in the room or if they believe that he legitimately did something wrong. trying to balance that. but also looking to win over his supporters who as we have seen in the polls are really staunchly behind the former president at this point. not a tone of loss in support for the former president over the course of these months. we for the former president over the course of these months. we have some ictures of course of these months. we have some pictures

legal issues? the big next stage for the former president specifically - legal issues? the big next stage for the former president specifically is. the former president specifically is going to be when he turns himself into officials in the state of georgia or around the city of atalanta. we saw a post on true social from a couple of minutes ago from the former president saying that he plans on turning himself in time tomorrow afternoon. that is going to be a big thing that a lot of folks are watching. we know that he has a $200,000 bond that has been established between his lawyers and the district attorney in fulton county. on top of that there are some conditions that are going to bar him from making any sort of negative statements about his co—defendants, about the witnesses, be that in person from his mouth are in particular on social media which we know it's a platform that he has really used in the past and up until now. used to denigrate some of the aspects of these investigations of these indictments that he does not like. what is interesting in particular though is that he is also being barred from reposting someone else's post so that won't be aware of him getting around putting out some negative conversations regarding some of his co—defendants, the witnesses or anyone involved in these cases. 50 the witnesses or anyone involved in these cases-— these

with tucker carlson that is expected to be put on line at the same time. how much attention that ghana is versus what we see on the television is yet to be seen but it will be an interesting moment here that we really haven't seen before. thank you so much for that update. and of a busy 2a hours for you, certainly. i want to take you now to live pictures in bordeaux in western france. french authorities are warning of record high temperatures. this is as the south end of the centre of the country continue to bake in a heatwave. it is a 37 celsius writer there now. and as we can see from

temperatures in the mid 30 celsius going up to 38 later in the day. the place is quiet, empty, there is a lifeless quality about it. the colours are all bleached out in the heat haze and everyone is suffering from a kind of enforced lethargy, meaning that basically they move around as little as possible. it is hot here, it is even hotter further east, down the rhone valley where traditionally it always gets hottest in france. there we are seeing values of around 42 to 43 degrees and they are saying that it is a record for this time of year to have this level of heat. 19 departments or counties are under a maximum red alert for the heatwave which means that it alert for the heatwave which means thatitis alert for the heatwave which means that it is recognised as being of a severe

pictures, there is all sort of complicated science stuff which is all very interesting. that is due to happen in the next hour as we were hearing earlier, fingers and toes being crossed all over the world, hoping that that lunar mission is successful. 0f hoping that that lunar mission is successful. of course there was the russian mission hoping to land in a very similar place which was unsuccessful on sunday. so everyone is hoping that this mission is successful. india hoping to be only the fourth country after the us, china and russia to land on the moon. we will keep you updated on that. we have a special bbc news programme which will start a little bit closer to the launch time. surgeons have successfully carried out the uk's first womb transplant, giving hope to dozens of women who are currently unable to have a baby. this kind of life—changing surgery, could help women born without a womb and those who lose their organ to cancer or other conditions, as our medical editor fergus walsh reports. a uk first as surgeons transplant a womb into a 34—year—old woman, donated by her ao—year—old sister. the surgery in next door operating theatres at the churchill hospital in oxford in february lasted around 17 hours. it was an amazing day, absolutely amazing. these two surgeons led a team of more than 30. they recall the reaction of the younger sister when she came round. she was absolutely over the moon. there were a lot of tears, a lot of emotion. she was very, very happy. and the donor probably was even happier, because she had some time to recover from the anesthesia. so it was a veryjoyous moment for everybody. the recipient was born without a normal uterus, but with functioning ovaries. with her husband, she already has eight embryos in storage and could go on to have two pregnancies, after which, her sister's womb will be removed so she can stop taking powerful drugs that prevent her body rejecting the transplant. so she's doing really, really well. she has started having menstrual periods and that means her prospects of having a baby are very high. she needs to stay on immunosuppressive therapy and to be closely monitored. and we hope to be doing an embryo transfer in the autumn. in 2014, a woman in sweden became the first to have a baby after a womb transplant. since then, around 100 transplants have been performed worldwide with 50 babies born. the surgical team here is funded by a charity, womb transplant uk, and has permission to carry out the procedure with both live and deceased donors. there are a dozen women with embryos in storage or who are going through ivf who are hoping for a womb transplant. for now, the charity has funding forjust three more operations. i'm really excited, yeah. it's nice to feel that it's finally happening. and the demand here could be significant. around one in 5000 women is born without a functioning womb, but many more, like lydia, lose theirs due to cancer. she says a transplant would feel miraculous. since getting diagnosed with cancer and the hysterectomy, the infertility was such a huge part of that. and you grieve, you really do. hopefully, being on the waiting list for a transplant would mean everything. being able to carry my own child and have that experience of feeling it, being able to breastfeed and being able to have a newborn baby at least once. the charity womb transplant uk has paid £25,000 to cover nhs costs. and all the staff involved gave their time for free. but they will need a big injection of funds if many more women are to benefit. fergus

car incident yesterday in pakistan where those eight people thankfully were rescued after a terrifying incident where they were suspended over a ravine. we have just had news from the police in pakistan where they have said that arrests have been made after that incident. saying police have arrested the cable car owner and operator. a police case has been registered against the owner of the cable car due to the unavailability of a government permit. police have booked them under various sections of the law, including endangering valuable lives, negligence and causing mental distress. that is from our colleagues in pakistan. 0nce from our colleagues in pakistan. once again they are saying after that incident yesterday involving eight people who were left after a cable car very nearly fell, with catastrophic effects, but pakistan police have now made arrests, they have arrested the owner of the cable car and the operator. arrested for endangering valuable lives, negligence and causing mental distress. we will bring you any updates from that story when they happen. let's take you to greece. these are pictures from near athens. you can see those pictures there, the extinct of the fires. the greek authorities say eighteen people, thought to be migrants —— have been killed in a wildfire in northeastern greece. their bodies were found in a forest not far from the turkish border, outside the village of avantas, in the evros region of north—east greece. efforts are being made to try to identify them. 0ur senior international correspondent 0rla guerin is on the turkish side of the border and has just sent this report. it is an inferno and it's leaving little in its wake. firemen have been battling the flames night and day, but the wildfires are spreading. they have come bearing down on avantas, a village where local people are counting their losses. translation: it has reached the entire village. _ our own house up there, where the fire started, has completely burned down. there is nothing. fire, only fire — that's what we could see. the wind was so strong. high winds and soaring temperatures have created a perfect storm. and, beneath the smoke, a terrible discovery in the forest — charred bodies of those who may have been seeking a better life. so far, they are unnamed, their stories unknown. translation: in the wildfire - of alexandroupolis, in an on-site inspection by the fire department in the wider area of avantas, 18 bodies were found near a shack. the authorities believe the dead may have been migrants or refugees who entered greece illegally and were hiding out near a national park. there's a well—trodden route here for those who cross over from neighboring turkey, desperate to reach european soil. many who call this area home will have nothing left to come back to. this is an increasingly familiar picture in parts of europe. a postcard from summer in our time. wildfires are not new in greece, but scientists warn they are worsening with climate change. so, in avantas, the bells toll a warning — residents must go while they still can. in canada, about a thousand wildfires continue to devastate the country. it's canada's worst wildfire season on record. more than 37 million acres have burned, forcing mass evacuations. troops have been deployed to fight blazes in parts of the country that cover an area the size of greece. in the provence of british columbia, firefighters battling blazes in kelowna say their biggest challenge is the lack of visibility. and a new report out says climate change made the wildfires twice as likely, increasing the chance of extreme fire weather conditions in eastern canada. let's turn to russia now, where a building that was under construction in central moscow has been hit by a drone, according to the mayor. two more drones were reportedly struck down in the greater moscow region. russian officials are calling it another attempt by kyiv to carry out a terrorist attack. ukraine do not usually comment on who is behind attacks inside russia. a state—run russian news agency says general sergei surovikin has been sacked as head of the country's air and space forces. quoting what it called an �*informed source', ria novosti said he'd been replaced with an acting commander. surovikin earned the nickname "general armageddon" during russia's military intervention in syria's civil war. he was, for a period, the head of russia's forces in ukraine, before being demoted injanuary to a deputy. he hasn�*t been seen in public since the short— lived mutiny by wagner paramilitaries injune. reports suggest he was being held under house arrest, being investigated for complicity. the king of thailand has appointed former property mogul srettha thavisin as the country's new prime minister. srettha is a known confidant of former prime minister thaksin shinawatra, who had returned to thailand yesterday from self—imposed exile. srettha received the king's written command to form a government in a ceremony at his pheu thai party headquarters. the world—famous big dipper roller—coaster at blackpool pleasure beach on the coast of north west england is celebrating its 100th anniversary. thrill seekers have enjoyed the classic wooden ride since it opened in 1923, and despite a world war and a serious fire — it's survived to help create 100 years of memories. 0ur correspondentjayne mccubbin took the it for a ride. i'm not sure about this. she screams we lift up and there is the dip. so this is an out and back. we go all the way round, turn round and go back again. what makes it so special? this is the very first roller—coaster i rode as a child. it has always had a special place in my heart. i just love it. just the right amount of dips, lifts, it doesn't have to be the biggest, the fastest. what do you think about the rickety debate? it's not rickety, it's got character. it's like a living thing, it moves. there you have it. who said growing old can't be fun? 100 years ago, if you had a shilling, you could have come on this ride, what would that moment have been like for those people? fantastic, 100 years ago, it would have been absolutely amazing. but it's still brilliant now, so can you imagine what the experience must have been like back then? it would have knocked your socks off. absolutely. i think it is fair to say that excitement is building in india because in less than an hour, hopefully, the country is due to become only the fourth country to manage to land safely on the moon. and in a place that no one else has managed to land. let's bring in anushka sharma who is the founder of naaut which is a space, technology, and innovation consultancy firm. hello to you again. not long to go now. do we get any sense of how things are going? 50 now. do we get any sense of how things are going?— now. do we get any sense of how things are going? so we have seen the images — things are going? so we have

control centre will be analysing. they are prepared and have run lots of simulations, so fingers crossed that they are prepared for the next few steps. the critical moments are going to be in the nail—biting heart stopping 20 minutes in that final approach. the final approach as india attempt to land that featherlight soft landing on the surface of the moon at 1:34pm in british standard time. just surface of the moon at 1:34pm in british standard time.— british standard time. just give some sense — british standard time. just give some sense of _ british standard time. just give some sense

through space at ten times the speed of an aeroplane and then having to come to a standstill in order to gently land on the earth, it is all in a matter of minutes and that is really what they are going to be doing and attempting a soft landing. as part of the technical demonstration of the chandrayaan—3 mission the soft landing is the first key mission milestone for today. and then of course we will hopefully have the rover roaming on the surface of the moon and then conducting as in situ science experiments on the surface of the moon so it is a very exciting time, i am very nervous. moon

middle section of the moon, where the terrain is much smoother and there is not as much rocks and creators, we the maria is, the seas of the moon. so the south side of the moon, this is exactly why it is so challenging. really getting the lessons from january onto missions and all of the feedback visually is really helpful in helping the indian space agency really make those decisions that they will be needing to do in those last few minutes of the mission and hopefully that feather soft landing. just looking at people looking very concentrated layout screens, what exactly will they be doing? what do they have to do and what can they do at this point? that they have to do and what can they do at this point?— at this point? at this moment, it is monitoring — at this point? at this

teamwork. it is making sure that the critical information is passed on to the relevant person who then pass it on for the collective solution to be found. it is very exciting, it is very

all of the updates and hopefully a safe landing. stay with us on bbc news. hello. a rather mixed looking weather picture over the coming few days, and for the weekend, some uncertainty. so if you have plans, perhaps heading to some of the festivals, outdoor plans, please stay tuned to the forecast. most of us will see a few more showers in the coming few days. the warmth in the south will linger today but it will start to ebb away tomorrow. we are south of this weather front today, so we have that humidity and heat still with us, but low pressure is driving in showers to scotland, more so than we have seen this morning. and showery rain for northern ireland, so on the whole we will tend to cloud over here. the best of the sunshine east of the grampians. there is also more cloud creeping in across wales, the midlands and northern england, bringing some patchy light rain, some hill fog. so it is across east anglia and the south of england where we see the best of the sunshine, and here, the highest humidity and indeed the highest temperatures, 25 to 26 degrees. overnight tonight, we keep a lot of cloud around, so it will be warmer and again quite uncomfortably close in southern areas where we may see some thundery showers creeping across the channel late on. but you can see some wetter weather with those showers merging to longer spells of rain for scotland and possibly northern england, so temperatures a little higher here than we had last night, dipping down to 11 in northern ireland behind that weather front. but the low pressure is still with us on thursday with these weather fronts around, so there is a greater chance of more showers around, really. there will certainly be with us across the north—east of scotland first thing and then circulating that area of low pressure, some heavy and thundery showers through the day in northern ireland as well. we will see some of those on our weather front further south which will start to sweep away some of the humidity, but we are still talking 23 to 2a degrees between those heavy and potentially thundery showers. then it is all change as we go into friday, because as that weather front sweeps out of the way, the lower pressure drifts out of the north sea and allows the wind direction to change, quite a brisk wind, and coming down from the north, from the arctic. so it is a cooler direction, temperatures will ease away as will the humidity. and as you saw on the charts, there will be showers dotted around on friday, in fact, throughout the weekend there is the chance of some showers popping up. it won't be a wash—out but if you are having outdoor plans, it is best to stay tuned to the forecast and we will keep you up—to—date as best we can. it looks cooler with some sunshine but also some showers. today at one. .. a medical breakthrough with the uk's first womb transplant. surgeons in oxford have given a 34—year—old woman a new womb donated by her older sister. she's doing really, really well. she's started having menstrual periods, and that means her prospects of having a baby are very high. the operation has already been carried out in other countries, but we'll be assessing its significance. also this lunchtime... one of the children rescued from a broken cable car in pakistan says he thought it was the last day of his life. property is more affordable than it was a year ago, according to britain's biggest mortgage lender. in the next few minutes, india could become the first country to land a spacecraft near the south pole of the moon. coming up on bbc news, more problems for england ahead of the start of the rugby world cup. they'll now be without billy vunipola for their opening match following his red card against ireland.
