from certifying joe biden�*s victory by any means necessary, including force. ethan nordean — in the baseball cap — and joseph biggs — in the checked jacket — took charge of the proud boys on that day, using a radio to coordinate and move their men. they've both been convicted of seditious conspiracy. nordean used a loud—hailer to direct around 200 people towards the capitol and encouraged them to overrun the police. he'll be sentenced later today. chanting: we want - trump, we want trump! donald trump had invited his supporters to come to washington and to march towards congress using language many believe encourage the violence. and we fight, we fight like hell. and if you don't fight like hell, you're not. going to have a country any more. joseph biggs sobbed in court and begged for leniency before he was sentenced to 17 years injail. his lawyer blames the former president. where's donald trump in all this? he stood on the elipse, basically told people, 7a million of his followers, "the election was stolen, go to the capitol, fight like hell or you won't have a country any more." some people listened to him. dominic pezzola can be clearly seen smashing a window in congress, which then ignited the invasion of the building. he's been sentenced to ten years in prison. in a debate withjoe biden, before the 2020 election, donald trump refused to condemn racist violence and name—checked the proud boys. proud boys, stand back and stand by. the proud boys leader, enrique tario, will be sentenced next week. donald trump himself is now facing two criminal prosecutions related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. he's due in court next year over the actions he took to try and stop joe biden being confirmed as the president. if convicted, he also could be facing a lengthy prison sentence. sarah smith, bbc news, washington. live now to washington, and we can speak to our correspondent wyre davies. good to see you again. ijust want to take you life outside the dc district court as the sentencing is due for a second defendant, ethan nordean. and we heard they are in sarah's piece that dominic pezzola has been sentenced to ten years, we are still waiting for the sentencing of the second defendant. yes. are still waiting for the sentencing of the second defendant.- of the second defendant. yes, in total over _ of the second defendant. yes, in total over the _ of the second defendant. yes, in total over the course _ of the second defendant. yes, in total over the course of - of the second defendant. yes, in total over the course of the - of the second defendant. yes, in. total over the course of the week, five defendants, five senior and some foot soldiers of the proud boys have already been found guilty of various charges, including sedition. we've now had three of those sentences in, the most recent today is dominic pezzola — he's been given a lengthy prison sentence, ten years, slightly less than prosecutors had asked for, but he was a key member of what the prominent member —— proud boys did that day, viewed by the prosecution and many as a serious attempt to undermine the course of american democracy, because of course what was meant to happen in the capitol that day in congress was that the votes from the general election were meant to be verified via the electoral college, and that was meant to be overseen by the vice president, mike pence, and congress. mr trump not only put pressure on mike pence not to do his constitutional duty, but as we heard from sarah, mrtrump constitutional duty, but as we heard from sarah, mr trump seemed to encourage many of his supporters in the proud boys and other groups like the proud boys and other groups like the 0athkeepers to march on congress and use inflammatory language, and many of the proud boys have been sentenced in recent days, and they've blamed mr trump for encouraging them to do what they did. ., ., , ., a did. their attorney asked the auestion did. their attorney asked the question outside _ did. their attorney asked the question outside court," - did. their attorney asked the l question outside court," where did. their attorney asked the - question outside court," where is donald trump and all this?" he says, if your president tells you your election has been stolen, how do you react to that?

the proud boys saw themselves as donald trump's foot soldiers, they were among the first to be in and around congress on that fateful day of january 6th, and they took their part in leading what was at times a very violent riot and attempt to stop congress doing what it constitutionally was going to do. just looking at some of those images from january 6th, who can forget, and more than 1100 people were charged — 110 found guilty at trial? yes, a large amount, and i think it showsjust what the yes, a large amount, and i think it shows just what the authorities are prepared to do. in fact, thejudge did say today that he'd been, and his words, more lenient on some of the defendants than the prosecution had asked for — remember the prosecution asked for sentences of 20 years — because it wasn't as bad as it could've been. now there could have been many more fatalities and the congress attack could've been worse than it turned out to be. nevertheless, it was a very serious attempt to undermine and stop american democracy, said the prosecutors. to quote one of them, they said, "they saw themselves as a movement of a second american revolution where they and other patriots, as they saw themselves, would retake the government by force." so these were seen as very serious charges. force." so these were seen as very serious charges-— force." so these were seen as very serious charges-— force." so these were seen as very serious charges. very much so, yet joseh serious charges. very much so, yet joseph biggs _ serious charges. very much so, yet joseph biggs was — serious charges. very much so, yet joseph biggs was quite _ serious charges. very much so, yet joseph biggs was quite tearful- serious charges. very much so, yet joseph biggs was quite tearful and | joseph biggs was quite tearful and sorry in court — how did dominic mazzola react?

at the trial - how much of a threat to the proud boys remain?- at the trial - how much of a threat to the proud boys remain? well, they remain a persistent _ to the proud boys remain? well, they remain a persistent threat _ to the proud boys remain?

what's been the triumph over the last few years and all the dismay about the state of the american democracy, actually this system has proved to be extra nearly powerful and effective, that slow burning fact driven, values driven process that the judicial process is exposed to these people, whether it's donald trump or the proud boys. and in that court, a place where facts still matter, thankfully, confronted with the realities of what they've done, unable to just scream lies because a judge was there to say, "that's not acceptable in my courtroom," they were forced to confront the reality of what they did. and in that moment, they found contrition. the problem is as soon as they leave the courtroom and are back on social media platforms where there is no consequences for the spreading of lies and hatred that underpin violence, then they're just back to normal. in violence, then they're 'ust back to normal. . , violence, then they're 'ust back to normal. ., , , violence, then they're 'ust back to normal. ., , ., , normal. in many ways, donald trump viewed the power _ normal. in many ways, donald trump viewed the power boys _ normal. in many ways, donald trump viewed the power boys as _ normal. in many ways, donald trump viewed the power boys as his - normal. in many ways, donald trump viewed the power boys as his foot - viewed the power boys as his foot soldiers —— the proud boys. how do you think they view him now?

"it is shocking and disappointing" — that's what this small essex primary these gates will be closed next week. "it is shocking and disappointing" — that's what this small essex primary has written to parents. next week, children will start the school year online. hayley�*s had to get last—minute childcare for her son. the build—up to go tojuniors has been quite stressful for him, and then to turn round and say, "oh, rhys, you're not starting school next week" has been a bit heartbreaking. just in essex, 50 school buildings are affected. raac concrete now considered a threat to children's safety. parents asking today why the warning is so last—minute. it just seems a bit frustrating because itjust seemed to be, like, last second that they decided, oh, no, the building's not safe, it's not sound or anything, and we have to give it another week or so. it will be difficult _ because she's only six, yeah? so to have her another, like, four days, five days- just sitting inside, it will be hard. - at the other end of the country, in cumbria, this secondary school will delay opening by one day, while it works around the affected areas. the raac concrete is limited to four small corridor areas in school and all of those classrooms serviced by those corridors do have access through other rooms. so we are able to operate all of our classrooms from the start of term. the dangers of raac in public buildings have been known for years. injuly 2018, a school roof collapsed without warning. may 2019, an expert committee issued an alert on raac. in 2020, a promise to remove all raac from the nhs. 2021, school building safety was rated "critical" by the department for education. and in march 2022, schools were asked to check for raac. less than half had responded by this summer. this primary school was closed injune. its roof is made with raac. but until yesterday, urgent action was only taken if the concrete was in a critical condition. what we learnt over the summer was that there are a number of cases in schools, but also in non—school buildings and in england and outside england where raac that we previously thought was safe or low risk actually has failed. so we took swift action to change the guidance yesterday. new techniques have produced better schools more quickly and more - cheaply than ever before... in the 1960s, cheap building materials delivered new schools. but now, some are dealing with a crumbling legacy. spending on school buildings in england has fallen dramatically. between 2010 and 2022, it went down by 50%, taking rising costs into account. around £4 billion to £8 billion a year is thought to be needed to keep schools in a good condition. but since 2016, around 2.3 billion has been spent, on average, each year. in some schools alerted last term, work is already under way. now 100 more are managing similar risks. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. lady barran, an education minister in the government, says parents whose schools are affected have been notified. and if parents haven't been contacted by now, then their school doesn't have a problem. lady barran spoke to our political reporter david cornock. we have found 156 schools where the concrete has been confirmed. 52 of them we've already dealt with, and they'll be going back to normal — i visited one of them today. but there are really unfortunately 104 schools, but we'll be working very closely to support them to open them as quickly as possible. i would stress to viewers that this —— they should not assume this is in the whole school. in some schools, it's literally in a small cupboard, and others it's in the classrooms, and unfortunately in a very small minority, it's the whole school. a tiktok influencer and her mother have been jailed for life for the murder of two men who died after their car was rammed off the road following a high—speed chase. mahek bukhari and her mother, ansreen, were found guilty of killing hashim ijazuddin and saqib hussain in february last year. it happened after mr hussain had threatened to expose an affair with ansreen bukhari. 0ur midlands correspondent navteonhal reports. mother and daughter, best friends... who are you? who are we? ..and murderers. mahek bukhari wanted to be known as a tiktok influencer. but along with her mother, ansreen bukhari, she is now notorious. the pair were convicted last month of killing 21—year—old saqib hussain and hashim ijazuddin. ansreen bukhari had been in a three—year—long affair with saqib hussain. when it broke down, he threatened to expose the relationship to the 46—year—old's husband and son by sending them sexually explicit videos of bukhari. that was when she and her daughter hatched a plot, with the help of others, to seize saqib hussain's phone containing the material in a meeting at this tesco car park in leicester in february last year. but the meeting turned into a fatal car chase, when saqib and his friend hashim ijazuddin were killed after their friend was rammed off the road. at leicester crown court, the defendants found guilty of murder were landed life sentences. mahek bukhari was given a minimum term of 31 years and eight months, her mother was ordered to serve at least 26 years and nine months. rekan karwa, on the left, was jailed for 26 years and ten months, and raees jamal, also serving a rape sentence, was sentenced to 36 years. sanaf gulamustafa, natasha akhtr and ameerjamal were found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 14 years and nine months, 11 years and eight months, and 14 years and eight months, respectively. all of the defendants had the time they spent on remand deducted from their sentences. while she waited for a verdict last month, mahek bukhari appeared relaxed, playing board games at court, and even waving and laughing at reporters outside hours before she was found guilty. but she spent much of her time this morning in the dock in tears, as the families of her victims described her and the other killers as vile humans and asked them, "was it worth it?" navteonhal, bbc news,

sunshine. in fact, a decent weekend in prospect if you have outdoor plans. today, we have seen some areas of cloud, and indeed, some quite sharp showers. this is the satellite picture from earlier on — a stripe of cloud across northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england, and some shower clouds further south. as showers continuing to ease through the evening, we will continue to see some bits and pieces of clouds and mist and fog patches likely to develop, as well, but also some clear spells. and where we have those clear skies across some parts of highlands, scotland, temperatures could drop down to around 1—2 celsius. it will be milder than that further south. saturday's weather story is one of high pressure, which will be building its way across the uk, chasing this frontal system away eastwards. so some areas of low cloud, a bit of mist and fog around first thing. the chance of 1—2 showers popping up through the day, but they should generally be quite light in nature. most places will stay dry. just a bit more cloud and more of a breeze through the afternoon into the far northwest of scotland. but temperatures up to 21 celsius in aberdeen and in belfast, 24 in london. could just get a little warmer than that across some parts of southeast england. and then, into the evening, most places fine and dry with some late sunshine. but more cloud and some rain into the far north of scotland, courtesy of this frontal system, which willjust continue to slide its way through during sunday. 0ur area of high pressure centred across the south of the uk. under the centre of the high with light winds, again, some mist and fog patches to start sunday, which should tend to lift and clear to reveal some sunny spells closest to our weather front in the north of scotland, we willjust see more cloud and a bit of rain. but eastern scotland with some shelter from the breeze, 20—23 celsius. come furthersouth, highs of 25—26, maybe 27 celsius. into next week, high pressure tends to retreat eastwards, low pressure trying to squeeze in from the atlantic, and this arrangement of weather systems will bring us a broadly southerly air flow — and that will introduce some warmer air from the near continent. now, there's some uncertainty about just how warm it will get, but we could well be looking at values into the mid—to—high—20s, possibly close to 30 celsius for some of us. it does look like turning a bit more unsettled by the end of next week. this is bbc news. the headlines... dominic pezzola, a member of the far—right proud boys group, is sentenced to
