there are no injuries but there was widespread disruption. good evening. three years after sarah everard was murdered by a serving police officer, the detective who led the murder inquiry has spoken about the case on camera for the first time. dci katherine goodwin told the bbc about her shock at finding out their chief suspect worked for the metropolitan police. she said to her boss "you're not going to believe this." last week an independent inquiry found that chances to stop wayne couzens, who abducted, raped and killed sarah everard, were repeatedly missed and he should never have been given a job as a police officer. sarah's family hope a new documentary being shown after the third anniversary of her murder will "contribute to the ongoing dialogue" around violence against women and the way police approach this type of case. our special correspondent lucy manning reports. the everard family have shared some of their favourite pictures of their daughter and sister sarah. a smile that stands out. a future that was shut down. taken away three years ago by a murderer in police uniform. for the first time, detectives have spoken about finding out that couzens was a colleague, just as officers were minutes away from his house, going to arrest him. one of my detective sergeants came running into the office and said, "we need to shut the door, you need to hear this." he then put one of our researchers on speakerphone, and she said "he's a police officer. he's a serving officer in the met. he currently works for the parliamentary and diplomatic protection group." i knew i had to tell my boss, and i canjust remember the shock of having to just sit on the floor of the office and say to her, "you're not going to believe this, that he's a police officer." couzens ha use his police powers of arrest, his warrant card, his handcuffs, at this moment caught on cctv to get sarah into his vehicle. the detective who was about to question couzens for the first time had onlyjust been told he was one of their own. the gravity of the whole situation then became incredibly clear. the moment i told the team, itjust went silent. we knocked on the door — actually he opened it. ijust put my foot straight into the door, showed him my warrant card, and he just went grey. just all the colourjust run out of his face. at the moment you're under arrest, ok, on suspicion of kidnap at this time? couzens lied and lied. you must know more about where she is or how i can find her. i'm sorry, i don't know. i know you know. i don't know. if they've taken her in a van, then they've taken her. - i don't know. at some point, you're going to end up looking sarah's family in the eyes — your family are going to be there. i know. you have an opportunity here, right now, to help us find sarah and brings her back home to her family. i don't know where she is. hand on heart, i don't know where she is. i today, nick harvey, asking the questions, relived the moment he was told couzens was a policeman. the pit of my stomach just sort of fell out. i mean, it was immediately and abundantly clear how much this was going to change policing, and what a huge moment in history it actually was going to be. discovering couzens was a police officer was a surprise for those here investigating sarah's disappearance, but the blame also lies here, with those police forces who ignored the red flags about him, particularly the met police and kent police, who failed to properly investigate indecent exposure allegations. i think what most troubles me now i've had the chance to sort of think is how we can possibly win back trust from the public. and i begin to wonder, then, how endemic it is. sarah's family are clear that she died because couzens was a police officer. lucy

you. gary 0'donoghue in washington there. staying with the us election... there are growing concerns about the way ai could be used to mislead voters. this convincing photograph of donald trump with black people, for example, is fake. it's come out that some supporters of the former us president are creating fake images, like this one, to encourage african americans to back him in november's election. bbc panorama discovered dozens of the pictures — created using artificial intelligence — though there's no evidence they are directly linked to mrtrump�*s campaign. 0ur disinformation and social media correspondent, marianna spring, reports. at first glance this photo looks real — only its not. it was generated using ai technology, by this radio presenter and his team, and shared with more than a million followers, attached to a story about black support forformer president donald trump. i'm not a photojournalist, i'm not out there taking pictures of what's really happening. i'm a storyteller. i'm not claiming it is accurate, i'm not saying, "hey, look, donald trump was at this party with all of these african—american voters — look how much they love him." that wasn't the story at all. it does give that impression, though. it does give that impression. if you didn't know it was real, you would think you'd think he's at this party and he's met all these people who support him. because it is quite convincing. if anybody is voting one way or another because of one photo they see on a facebook page, that's a problem with that person, not with the post itself. i uncovered dozens more ai—generated images of black voters like this, mainly featuring donald trump. while ai image ofjoe biden exist, it's much harder to find ones that feature voters and target a particular demographic. whether biden or trump pictures, there is no evidence they're affiliated with either campaign. scary it can be created. it is scary somebody can push it out, but the part that scares us the most is when somebody in our community gets it, maybe an influencer, right, maybe a rapper, and then from there it's viral and it takes on a life and a truth of its own. how important is the black vote? the black vote is critical. it's going to be critical in this election coming up. it's swing voters who are feeling disillusioned, like douglas in atlanta, georgia, who one the target for this type of ai content. the democratic party only comes round to pander to the black vote only when re—election comes up. once they get re—elected they forget about us for the next two to four years. he believed this image was real, before i revealed it was faked. still, it had an effect. trump and biden are dinosaurs, but if i had to lean my support towards either one, which i don't want to, in my opinion the lesser of the two evils is donald trump. but i don't believe in voting for the lesser of two evils, because at the end of the day you're still voting for evil. ai—generated content can entrench existing bias, and there are concerns about the influence posts like this could have. but they're unlikely to swing a whole election. instead, they could further inflame tensions and divisions in what could be a fractious presidential race. marianna spring, bbc news. the government has offered three defeat so far in the house of lords tonight as its ongoing attempts to send some asylum seekers to rwanda are voted on by peers. ministers had said they wanted the first flights to leave for the east african country "in the spring". meanwhile, migrant crossings have continued

wednesday. so you saw one of the government's defeat there and in the last 15 or 20 minutes there have been a further two, so a wounding afternoon for ministers, and some really striking language as well from some, including senior conservatives. the former cabinet minister said effectively people were being asked to lie. what a word — july— to say that rwanda was safe when he said, and plenty of others including the supreme court, has said it is not. —— what a word, to lie. for goodness' sake, he said, let's tell the truth. as we just heard from ladyjones of the greens there is an expectation this will be overturned when it returns to the house of commons and a couple of weeks, and there is a chance that all of this, this possible act of parliament, becomes exactly that, the law of the land, before the month is out. the big question then, how long from then until planes are on their way to rwanda? chris, thank you very much. the time is 18.15. our top story this evening. three years

the haitian national police and the military to take responsibility and arrest ariel henry. haiti has long experience of dictatorship... i have been elected for president for life. ..but recent years have been particularly bloody. in 2021, the president was assassinated, leaving a political vacuum, largely filled with the gangs. killing, rape and kidnap are widespread. elections have been promised but not held, and it seems the gangs are losing patience. in 2021, the president was assassinated, leaving james landale, bbc news. campaigners are warning that the closure of a fund for people struggling with the cost of living will be "catastrophic". the household support fund provides food banks and warm spaces for people in need in england, but it's set to end in four week's time — unless its extended in the budget. the government says benefits and the local housing allowance are rising. here's our cost of living correspondent colletta smith. every week 400 households are given parcels at this food bank. we are a catch all for people who aren't able to provide food for themselves and their family, and we're that last safety net for them. it's vital. with donations falling and the cost of food increasing, nearly half of their funding comes from the household support fund. you have 40% of your funding just there just disappearing at the end of march. £20,000 is a really big hole to fill. you're thinking about the people who come through the doors who haven't had a meal that day, who sit there and have three paninis because that's their food for the day. without organisations like us, those people won't get that support. we're just about keeping the lights on now, and if that money is taken away, i don't know, i don't know what's next. this is just one food bank, echoed across the city. in liverpool, tens of thousands of the most vulnerable households are currently supported by thisfund. the household support fund has enabled us to keep pushing the edge of the cliff further away for households across the city, so i think out of that money, lots of the organisations that we support and feed in liverpool will have to reduce the amount of food support they give households. inflation is beginning to fall, and the government say that will make life easier for people, but after two years of being squeezed, more people than ever are now depending on the safety net this pot of money provides. in 0ldham, some of the money is being given out as cash grants to families most in need. hello, ria. and in this household... hello, jadine. ..life's delivered even more surprises. hi, giovanni. so the grant has gone straight on nappies, baby formula, and paying the energy bills. you've never needed that help before. we have worked. we both worked. we never needed it. right now, i felt bad for those who cannot afford it, because it is one of the things that can help. the government say this fund will end, as benefits and the local housing allowance rise in april. but those delivering the help are desperate for the chancellor to change his mind in the coming days. colletta smith, bbc news. now before we go to the weather, take a look at these — a stunning display of the northern lights across the uk. while there was an ongoing weak solar storm, the aurora ended up being visible from the scotland's highlands all the way down to cornwall. we've been speaking to three of the photographers who captured last night's incredible images. music: "finlandia" by sibelius. i can describe it as seeing like colours, of big white beams, shooting into the sky, when it was at its peak storm. this was about 8.20 last night, and i also seen pinks and greens along the horizon. i wasjust in awe, a mixture of screaming with joy and tears ofjoy as well. music. last night ijust, i sat there watching people watch the northern lights, and it made me realise how many people are quite into it, to be honest, it was a great night. we saw this amazing sight of a sub—aurora iron drift, | like a red tower that appears in the sky, so to catch that l and to find out that i've caught - that on camera and on the picture, isjust fantastic. time for a look at the weather. here's matt taylor. are we going to see the northern lights again tonight? it would be great if we could and it is not out the question. good evening, this is a forecast which shows where it is possible, as we do through into tonight. notice it will clip into parts of scotland, so there could be a chance here, maybe less so further south, but, of course we have that complication of the weather thrown in, there is cloud coming in. cloud in, there is cloud coming in. cloud in shetland and this area is pushing northwards and eastwards so you will be hard pressed to find clear skies in the first half of the night. rain which will push into scotland and eastern england. chance of thunderstorms in thing ling channel too but with the clearer skies we could see a frost but for most not as cold as we have seen. for the rest of the week it's a battle, low pressure in the atlantic, we are sandwiched in between the two, what that means weather—wise is that it is going to be not as wet as it has been of late. more in the way of drier weather, cloud amounts will vary but as we see them push together the winds will pick up. tomorrow is almost a transition day where we have the weak front in scotland, it will sit round for most of the day. cloudy, rain, misty in places, some rain for a final the morning in northern ireland, spreading into western scotland. showers into north—west england, isle of man, the odd shower elsewhere but for many of you, away from the east coast and the outbreak of rain there will be dry weather round our and it should feel pleasant enough. 0nce round our and it should feel pleasant enough. once we lose the sunshine a frost comes back, especially in the western half 06 england and wales a, not to the east, that is because the cloud will still be here, light rain or drizzle possible. brightens up inland but across the coalition maybe a grey day on wednesday, more of a breeze but for many of you wednesday will be a dry day, best of the sunshine, central and western areas, temperatures up to 1312, 13, and cooler spots on the coast, thursday and friday dry weather, a small chance of a shower but the breeze will pick up. but a lot better than recently. thank you very much. and that's bbc news at six. i'll be back with the late news at ten. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. hello. welcome to sportsday. katie boulter rises to the ranks after winning in san diego, but the british number one is staying balanced. ., british number one is staying balanced-— british number one is staying balanced. ., , ., , , british number one is staying balanced. ., , ., ,, �*, balanced. nothing stops here. it's an uhill balanced. nothing stops here. it's an uphill battle _ balanced. nothing stops here. it's an uphill battle and _ balanced. nothing stops here. it's an uphill battle and i _ balanced. nothing stops here. it's an uphill battle and ijust -
