Found its way onto set. During a rehearsal in october 2021 the gun fired and killed Halyna Hutchins, the films cinematographer and injured the directorjoel souza. Alec baldwin is set to go on trial in new mexico injuly for involu natrity manslaughter. Lets get the latest from our north america cprrespondent, will vernon. Hannah Gutierrez Reed was an Armourer Working On that the film set of rust, and meaning she was in charge of all the weapons. It means she brought a live round on set, put it into that weapon, which went on to kill Halyna Hutchins and injure another crew member. She was convicted on Manslaughter Charges on the basis that she floated basic gun safety procedures, hannah Gutierrez Reed. These are guidelines that basically entail rudimentary checks to ensure the rounds you have just put into a weapon are blanks, not live rounds, and thatis blanks, not live rounds, and that is basically the basis of the charge. It was noted in court that Hannah Gutierrez read was an experience armourer, it was only the second film is that she had worked on hannah Gutierrez Reed. The prosecutor in that case in Closing Arguments described constant never ending Safety Failures on the set of rust and hannah Gutierrez Reeds astonishing lack of diligence with gun safety. Our Defence Lawyers tried to pin the blame on actor alec baldwin. He was of course holding the weapon pointing the gun at Halyna Hutchins when she was killed. Basically, the defence said that he went off script, he was not opposed to point at the gun and hannah Gutierrez Reed could not possibly have known he was going to do that. The jury quickly found her guilty and she was remanded in custody pending sentencing which may be p pending sentencing which may be up to 18 months in prison. As for alec baldwin, he was, as i say, holding the weapon, pointing it at Halyna Hutchins when this incident happened. He denies pulling the trigger of the weapon and last year was indicted on the same charges as hannah Gutierrez Reed and in voluntary manslaughter, and he is now awaiting trial. Is now awaiting trial.

The uk has seen an important date in the political year, with the conservative Government Setting out its tax and Spending Plans in what may be the last budget before the next General Election. Chancellorjeremy hunt told mps his new policies would lead to long term growth and permanent tax cuts. Lets look at some of the key announcements a cut in National Insurance, by 2p in the pound, for employees and the Self Employed. Full child benefits will be paid to households where the highest earning parent is getting up to £60,000. The current limit is £50,000. And the non dom tax regime for uk residents whose permanent home is overseas is to be replaced with new rules, from april next year. 0ur Political Editor chris mason has more. Budget day from every angle. Is this an election winning budget . Tradition, choreography, and noisy musical protest out in whitehall. Were on a road to nowhere. Jeremy hunt and his team in focus. Mr chancellor of the exchequer. This is a budget during a recession, albeit a mild one, and Interest Rates remain high, the chancellor acknowledged, but he wanted to signal his instinct is to cut tax when he believes its responsible. We can now help families not just with temporary Cost Of Living support but with permanent cuts in taxation. And here was the Headline Measure on that another cut in National Insurance, a tax paid by most workers. From april the 6th, Employee National insurance will be cut by another 2p from 10 to 8 . And Self EmployedNational Insurance will be cut from 8 to 6 . National insurance was cut by 2p in the pound a few months back too. When combined with the autumn reductions, it means 27 million employees will get an average tax cut of £900 per year. Two million Self Employed will get a tax cut averaging £650. Changes that make our system simpler and fairer. And there was this change on child benefit. From next month, a parent will be able to earn more before losing it. That means no one earning under £6,000 will pay the charge, taking 170,000 families out of paying it altogether. And because of the higher taper and threshold, nearly half a million families with children will save an average of £1300 next year. To pay for the tax cuts, tax rises on Business Class flights, holiday home owners, smoking, and vaping. Duty on alcohol will be frozen until next february. Fuel duty has also been frozen. Then came the moment of political theft. The government will abolish the current tax system for non doms. The Chancellor Nicking a labour idea to remove a tax perk from often wealthy folk who live here but pay tax abroad. I aim to please all sides of the house and all of my budgets. Sir keirstarmer. What from labour who hoped to deliver their own budget within a matter of months . There we have it the last desperate act from a party that has failed. Britain in recession. The National Credit cards maxed out. And despite the measures today, the highest tax burden for 70 years. And he added. An economy smaller than when the Prime Minister entered downing street. The Textbook Definition of decline. That is their record. I mean, after14 years, who do they actually think feels better off . Other parties were pretty scathing too. This is, lets face it, a last ditch, tone deaf approach to desperately try to recover in the polls. Its the embodiment of the tory party before the people. A bottom of the barrel budget. Nothing to make families truly better off after the catastrophic fall in Living Standards we have seen under the conservatives. This afternoon i had the chance to put questions to the chancellor on your behalf. I pointed out to him he is taking £20 billion more in tax in five years time, even with todays cuts in National Insurance. So people are being clobbered, arent they . For all of this talk about cuts, thats baloney, people are paying more. One of the reasions tax receipts are higher is because the economy is set to get back to growth. If you look at the thresholds, they are frozen as peoples incomes are rising, they are paying more. Even if you take account of the thresholds what you will see next year is a big cut in Taxation Forfamilies earning the average income it � s a significant cut. Tonightjackets off, the battle lines for the General Election are becoming clearer. The Economy Centre stage. Chris mason, bbc news, westminster. Nicky nikki haley has pulled out of the race for the white house. Im proud to be an american. Donald trump was taking a victory lap before he had quite secured his partys nomination, but he knew it was now in the bag. They call it super tuesday for a reason. This is a big one. And they tell me, the pundits and otherwise, that theres never been one like this. Theres never been anything so conclusive. When he launched this campaign in the same room 16 months ago, he was not the favourite to win. In order to make America Great and glorious again, i am tonight announcing my candidacy for president of the United States. Four criminal indictments and his claims of politically motivated persecution turbo charged that campaign, his mugshot becoming an electoral asset. Last nights results confirmed he is unstoppable, with only one exception, in leafy vermont. The biggest primary night of the year and some fascinating results. Lets take a look at vermont because it looks like nikki haley is squeaking ahead. 0ne Surprise Victory was not enough to keep nikki haley in a race that she could not win. Pulling out, she quoted margaret thatcher, and did not quite endorse donald trump. It is now up to donald trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him, and i hope he does that. Her departure is a disappointment for all those republicans who would rather not vote for donald trump. What he could learn from her is that theres a portion of the Republican Party that right now would prefer someone other than him and he probably needs to do something to earn their vote. I usually vote democrat but, you know, i see Something Different in her, and i was, like, i will not change. Smack that women might make me change they never give a woman a chance, i dont think they ever will. Think they ever will give l a woman a chance to get into the white house. Most voters say they dont want a rematch with the same old candidates as the last election, but thats the choice theyre going to be stuck with. In this contest that nobody wanted, we have got two elderly gentlemen who each think the other is uniquely flawed and therefore beatable. Joe biden is convinced when voters see and hear more of donald trump, they will reject him. Mr trump thinks that joe biden� s age and his record in office make him unelectable. Of course, only one of them will prove correct. Sarah smith, bbc news, washington. Us Officials Say at least three crew members of a cargo ship have been killed and at least four injured in a houthi strike the first deaths to be caused by the groups attacks on merchant vessels. The greek operated ship was hit off the Southern Coast of yemen this morning. The us central command, which oversees operations in the middle east, also released an image of the vessel. A Houthi Military Spokesman has confirmed the attack. The us says it will hold the houthis to account. Earlier i spoke to firas maksad, senior fellow at the middle east institute. I asked him how these deaths have changed things there is a clear escalator recycle here. This is yet another data point. We did have the first ship being sunk earlier this week, with potential catastrophic environmental situation in the red sea. We also had come a couple of days ago, cable is vital for the glos internet connection, that path through the red sea, damage, possibly also an act of sabotage by the houthis and the us efforts to deter the houthis is clearly not succeeding.

The americans have been successful in deterring iranian proxies in iraq and syria after the american soldiers were killed at a base. There were retaliatory attacks.

There are lies at the advantage. And ukraines southern port city of 0desa, has been hit in a missile strike, during a visit by president zelensky and the greek Prime Minister. Local media say five people are dead. Zelensky had been showing Kyriakos Mytsotakis tributes to 12 victims who had been killed by a russian drone attack there four days earlier. According to greek media, a missile landed about 150 metres from the two leaders, but fortunately neither were injured. 0ur Ukraine Correspondentjames Waterhouse has more from kyiv. Kyriakos mitsotakis and Volodymyr Zelensky were hosting a joint Press Conference in the Port Of 0desa when tonight the kremlin said it carried out a precision strike, in its words, on a hangar containing drones on the same site. Now, this is an area that is routinely hit by russia. We just dont know whether both World Leaders were deliberately targeted. This but what we do know is that this was a near miss. When you look at what witnesses were saying, when you look at verified footage of the explosion, were likely talking about the Missile Landing Hundreds of metres away. Now, Volodymyr Zelensky is no stranger to risk. He travels to the front lines frequently in the past, where near misses might not necessarily be reported. But what is clear here is that we know for the first time that a missile has landed precariously close. It could have been catastrophic for greece an nato member and ukraine, a country still at war and still being invaded. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.
