actually engage in politically motivated violence, which has led to this moment today. and really, lead us to this moment, and led us to january the 6th, when we saw those violent scenes. the judge

of the day, these bullies that draws on to this moment appear to still be very true to their hearts, and also to fellow the proud boys, that are on the streets today. prosecutors have called for tougher sentences. we are seeing a range between 15 and 17 years. today we saw dominic pezzola with ten years, although he was charged with sedition. we are waiting for ethan nordean prospect

seditious conspiracy. that basically means actively plotting with others to overthrow the federal government by force. the maximum sentence is 20 years in prison. but we have seen in the last few days since yesterday, really, the sentencing of two other men. we sought dominic pezzola earlier today, and we are expecting the sentencing of ethan nordean. you are looking at those images of the dc district court, brother sentencing is taking place. india's supreme court is currently hearing an important case about the legality of the revocation of indian—administered kashmir�*s special status in 2019. since the change, which gave the indian national government political control of kashmir, journalists say the administration is carrying out a systematic and sinister campaign, of arrests and intimidation aimed at silencing the press in the region. 0ur south asia correspondent yogita limaye reports from srinagar. this is the kashmir india's government wants the world to see. beautiful, serene. full of tourists. away from sight is the more grim picture. a painful, long—running conflict. more recently, a clampdown on democratic rights. journalists who can bring out people's voices and ground realities say they're now being silenced by the government. asif sultan, a kashmiri reporter, pictured here at one of his court hearings. he's been injailforfive years, charged under terror laws. his father, mohammad, says asif was targeted for this article he wrote about an anti—india militant. translation: everyone knows he's innocent. - he's a professional reporter and was jailed for his writing about the militancy. they wanted to make an example out of him so otherjournalists don't dare to cover topics the government doesn't approve of. at the time of his arrest, asif�*s daughter wasjust six—months—old. areeba might have been reunited with her father when he was given bail last year. but on the day of his release, new charges were brought. asif was kept in jail. it's part of a troubling pattern. journalist sajjad gul, jailed for criminal conspiracy. well—known magazine editor farhad shah, arrested on terrorism charges. whenever they are granted bail, new cases are filed to keep them in custody. most recently, irfan mehraj, who's worked with international outlets, jailed for alleged links to terrorfunding. this complex, which now houses an office of the kashmir police, until last year, this is where kashmir�*s press club used to be — the main body in the region which used to stand up for the rights ofjournalists. last year, it was shut down by the government, and in its absence, journalists say they have nowhere to turn to if they feel threatened. and it isn'tjustjailing. we've heard of other forms of intimidation. dozens ofjournalists in this region are on no—fly lists, prevented from leaving the country. dozens ofjournalists have not had their passports renewed. we've spoken to 20 journalists on the ground, each of whom have told us that they've been called by the police and questioned about stories that they've done or social media posts that they've put out. this reporter told us about one such experience. he doesn't want to be identified, fearing reprisal. i started getting calls from the police over a story i had written. they kept asking why i had done it. then i was questioned in person. they told me they know everything about me and my family, which felt very scary. i kept thinking, would i be arrested or harmed physically? and what impact has that had on yourjournalism? instead of thinking about whether i have enough facts in a report, i worry more about whether it will land me in trouble. we are all self—censoring. there is an attempt to silence the press in kashmir once and for all. mostjournalists told us they fear reprisal by the state. but in a conflict between indian forces and underground militant outfits, some say there are other dangers too. i spoke to a journalist who received threats from an insurgent group. working as a journalist in kashmir is like walking on a razor�*s edge. there are threats from all sides. i'm constantly afraid of a bullet coming at me and that no—one will ever find out who fired that. the impact onjournalism is evident when you look at the papers on any given day. the front pages are pretty much full of statements from either the national government or the regional administration. there are lots of soft stories, but there's barely any journalism in here holding the government to account. we asked the police and the regional administration to respond to the allegations made byjournalists who spoke to us. they haven't replied. in press statements, the administrative head of the region has insisted that there's absolute press freedom in kashmir. what we found belies the claims. 0n ground in kashmir, press freedom has all but been eroded. yogita limaye, bbc news, srinagar. earlier i spoke to anuradha baseen, executive editor of the kashmir times, who told me how yogita's piece hits home for many journalsits in the region. there's a lot that does not come out in the public domain. there are a lot of stories that journalists now even feel threatened to share with close friends. and and if you can just notice, you know, the whole anonymity of and the way that they speak, the conditions of anonymity, and that never used to be the case. i mean, journalists would love their work to be highlighted or their voice to be heard and for them to be recognised. that they agree to speak on conditions of anonymity is telling. yeah. i mean, the fact remains that there were restrictions on press in kashmir before its special status was revoked. butjust give us a sense of what changed after 2019. look, they've always been challenges. in fact, in the last 70 years, or even before that. but more they increased more when insurgency started in the 90s and the journalists were literally walking on the razor�*s edge, as one journalist pointed out, because they were caught between the guns on the two sides, the security forces and the militants. and there were several different militant groups, one warring with the other sometimes. so there were too many guns, actually, they were caught. and then there were these surrendered militants that were working for the government agencies and different government agencies. so it was always that kind of a physical threat. and gradually, when militancy declined, these threats decreased a bit. but the state continued to exert its hold over the press through more arm twisting methods like choking the revenues, particularly of newspapers that were dependent on government advertising, and other than that, using other forms of intimidation, which were much more subtle or some income tax cases, ed cases that had started after 2010, but, you know, after 2019, or rather 2018, a little before the special status was removed, there has been a systemic way of continuously trying to intimidate, harass and silence the journalists. but but, you know, anuradha, the authorities in kashmir and the the government of india would say this is absolutely not true, that the press in kashmirare free, that there are up to 400 publications operating out of kashmir. and so all of these claims are actually incorrect. look, there is no announced censorship other than there was one media policy that they put out. we don't even know whether the rules for that have been framed, but whatever is happening is much in line with that, that any objectionable content, and the government gets to decide a government or bureaucrat gets to decide what is objectionable and punitive action would be taken against journalists. so four journalists are presently under prison. that seems to be a guiding line, the media policy that they came out with, that newspapers which will not fall in line... it virtually says that the idea of the media policy is to highlight the positive achievements of the government, which really is not the work of the journalists. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news — bringing you different stories from across the uk. they've got a good amount of school uniforms and pe kits here. used clothes are collected at schools across nottingham and washed before being given to families who need some extra help. in the current financial climate demand is increasing. this summer, compared to last summer, we're dealing with around 55 children a week needing uniform, whereas last year it was about 28 a week, so it's roughly doubled. we're getting a lot more referrals from different agencies. people who use this charity say it's a vital service. the cost of food in addition to the cost of uniform is massive. but along with that, they're also expressing great appreciation for the uniform project for a service like this. they're grateful that something like this exists. at the moment, they only supply primary school uniforms. the charity hopes that one day, it can find ways to provide secondary school uniforms, as well. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. to south africa now, and rescue teams have spent the day searching through the gutted remains of a johannesburg apartment block after a fire on thursday. the blaze, in the overcrowded and condemned five—storey building, claimed 7a lives, including 12 children. the cause is still unknown but forensic investigators are also at the site, picking through the charred remains of the burnt—out building. it had been "hijacked" — a term used in south africa for a building that has been taken over by squatters and undocumented immigrants. it's been described as one of the worst fire incidents in the city's recent history. earlier, i caught up on the latest with eyewitness news reporter 0rrin singh, who has been speaking to some of the victimes and their families. we heard the president yesterday, president cyril ramaphosa, referring to that, that this is a wake up call for the south african government. but, you know, this anti—migrant sentiment that has been expressed within our country and it's not something new. we look back at 2014 when there was a number of xenophobic attacks within the cbds of the coastal city of durban — that sticks out to my mind. but i think the social development minister, lindiwe zulu, came out this this afternoon to say that, you know, at the end of the day, they're not concentrating on the aspect of illegal migrants within the country, or undocumented nationals at this present moment in time, the government is focusing on assessing the the families and concentrating on the well—being of families. now, you know, it's difficult to ascertain as to where these families are being being sheltered. when i spoke to a victim or survivor who managed to actuallyjump from the fourth floor of that building, and he fractured his leg quite badly, he told me he had to seek out his own shelter and own refuge last night. so it seems like a lot of these people were left in the room and didn't know what to do. now, the city ofjohannesburg have actually come out to say that they want to do an audit of all the buildings within the city, and there's about 20,000 buildings in that city. it's unclear how many of those buildings are abandoned or hijacked, but they have put forward a request to do an audit for all these buildings so they can go in and actually assess what's happening regarding these hijacked... even though the authorities are saying that this is not an assessment of the illegal migrant situation in the country, that hasn't allayed the concerns of many of these people who have been caught up in this disaster. definitely. and i think we saw that when the south african government, the department of health, had invited people to come and identify victims. and 62 out of the 76 victims have are unidentifiable. and we haven't seen many people coming forth to actually inquire about missing persons and so forth, because people are afraid for the mere fact that they are undocumented within the country and they're afraid that they're going to be arrested. an update on the spanish football president, who has been heavily criticised for kissing a player on the lips after the world cup final. louise will alice has now said that he will continue to defend himself to prove the truth, that is after the spanish government's sports council says it can't provisionally suspend the football federation president. so, some developments are coming out of spain. you're watching bbc news. let's get more on the news that more than 150 schools in england have been identified as having a type of potentially dangerous concrete — with many now closing buildings or classrooms to make them safe. this type of concrete has notjust been used to build schools. so where else could be affected? tom symonds has been finding out. the work keeps coming in for the structural engineering firm in welwyn garden city. demands for inspections on schools and even private houses because of worries about reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete. so i have to say, this reminds me a bit of a well—known chocolate bar. as you can see, it is full of air bubbles. as you can see, normal concrete. this is pretty solid. whereas this is a lot weaker and can easily be shown... raac concrete, light and versatile, was perfect for roofs and floors of post—war buildings. but by the late 1990s, experts were warning it showed signs of wearing out over time. their conclusion, that's fine, keep an eye on it. could this stuff be safe if properly managed? yes. the investigation into this is a staged approach, it is very simple. is it there? yes. if it is there, we can see the condition of it. if we know the condition of it and it is in good condition and it stood up for 30 years, ask the question, why should it fall down? there is no reason. the reason things fall down is because of corrosion of the re—enforcement which is a hidden defect and if this raac concrete gets wet, and other issues which we would find out in a stage two investigation. which means stage iii could be safely to manage it and not to knock it down. but if you don't do that inspection or didn't start doing that inspection when it first came to light in 2018, this is what happens, is that what you are saying? we are playing catch—up. and playing catch—up means are urgently looking for these signs of potentially dangerous crumbling concrete and closing buildings if needed. more likely because this work has not been done in the past. so raac is one of many materials that has not been looked after properly over the decades. so it is a bit more susceptible to poor maintenance than traditional concrete. but 2a hospitals have similar problems, like this one in cambridgeshire, now shored up against collapses. the nhs commissioned research in 2020 and has already taken action. government sources say six buildings belonging to the court service are affected, including harrow crown court in north—west london, now closed, along with three buildings within the department for work and pensions. but inevitably, there will be more closures. the more they look, the more problems they will find. tom simmons, bbc news, welling garden city. thousands of train drivers are on strike again today, leaving large parts of england without any train services. members of aslef at more than a dozen rail compaines are taking part ins their long—running dispute over pay. here's our transport correspondent katy austin. a ticket office in surrey open for business today, but for how much longer? under pressure from the government to cut costs, train companies say ticket—buying habits have changed and they want to use staff differently. a public consultation has received at least half a million responses. i buy them on an app, but i understand that there's a lot of people locally who don't have access to that app. personally, it wouldn't make a difference to how i travel, but i understand there are a lot of people who do rely on that, who might not have a smartphone. sometimes, i go to the ticket machine and i won't be sure i of what actually the best - combination is — because i want to take a slightly awkward route, or something like that — - and the person at the ticket office will obviously help me. _ disability groups have raised concerns that not having ticket offices could make travel harder. i think it will make it absolutely impossible. it makes one more isolated. well, i always have trouble with machines because i personally have a tremor. we appreciate that there are very real concerns, and this whole process is designed to address those issues individually, at individual stations, ratherthanjust being a national referendum about ticket offices. passenger watchdogs will now assess rail users' feedback. the department for transport insists no final decisions have been made. also today, there's another major strike on the railway — this time, by train drivers in the aslef union. many parts of the country have no services at all today. this is one of the stations that's completely closed. | so anything that we don't sell, i it's unfortunately thrown away. five minutes down the road, the organisers of this beer festival say the timing is devastating. a lot of our people come from quite a distance. i so far, we've sold about 50% - of the tickets that we would expect to at this stage, and we're not that l optimistic that it's going to boost. | aslef has warned more walk—outs could lie ahead. i believe, inevitably, there will be more action, but this action is driven as a reaction to how we've been treated by our employers, a reaction to how we're being treated by this government. we have no choice. the government and the industry continue to call for aslef members to get a vote on the latest offer, which the union rejected in the spring. it involved two successive 4% pay rises, in exchange for a raft of changes to working arrangements. there's another rmt strike tomorrow. now here's the weather. hello. the weather is changing over the next few days — a change to something drier and warmer, with some spells of 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 one or two 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, 2a 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. hello, i'm rajini vaidayanathan. you're watching the context on bbc news. the proud boys have been a known hate group for so long as i can remember. you have not seen as many demonstrations or really heard their name come up much untilformer president trump took office. they themselves as individuals are victims of disinformation, but they're also perpetrators, constantly spreading the big lie, for example, that donald trump won the last election. where's donald trump in all of this? he stood on the ellipse, basically told people, i 74 million of his followers, "the election's stolen, - go to the capitol, fight like hell or you won't l have a country any more." some people listened to him. coming up in the next hour, as some members of the far—right proud boys group are sentenced in the us for their part in the january 6th capitol riots, we take a closer look at the organisation and its origins. also in america, a judge says donald trump's trial in georgia will be livestreamed and televised. ccould it be the most watched event of 2024 election year? and another milestone for artificial intelligence — a digital singer lands her first record deal. all of that coming up. another member of the far—right, pro—trump proud boys group has been
