Good evening. John swinney looks set to become scotlands new leader after the woman expected to challenge him decided to back him instead. Kate forbes confirmed she would not be standing for the snp leadership after humza yousaf� s resignation. Instead, mr swinney, scotlands former deputy First Minister and party leader, has offered her a significant role in his government. Our scotland editor, james cook, reports. Please show your appreciation forjohn swinney. The snp is in trouble divided, distracted and struggling to govern. John swinney says its time to get a grip and he is the man for the job. I could have stood back and hoped others would sort things out. But i care too much about the future of scotland, and the Scottish National party, to walk on by. Youve said there you cant walk on by because, essentially, your party is a disunited mess. What specifically is wrong with it . Well, the party is not cohesive just now. We are not together, we are not operating as one big unified team. But what i am absolutely certain about is, if the snp gets its act together, it will be a Formidable Force for good in scotland and a Formidable Force for success in scotland as well, and thats what i offer. Mr swinney is a veteran of Scottish Politics an snp member since 1979. He led the party from 2000 to 2004 and then spent 16 years in the scottish cabinet under both alex salmond and nicola sturgeon. Is he really prepared to do it all over again . I am no caretaker. I am no interim leader. Im offering to lead my party through the westminster elections and to lead us beyond the 2026 elections, two contests which i intend to win for the snp and for scotland. But first, he had to deal with a potential rival kate forbes. He did so by lavishing her with praise and a job offer. She is an intelligent, creative, thoughtful person who has much to contribute to our national life. And if elected, i will make sure that kate is able to make that contribution. She replied in a statement, saying he offered competent, candid government, adding, i have concluded that the best way to deliver the Urgent Change Scotland Needs is to join Withjohn Swinney and advocate for that Reform Agenda within the scottish government. John swinney has seen off his only serious rival in the party, and he is confident of winning the support of enough msps here to form a Minority Government and become scotlands seventh First Minister.

President biden has condemned the violence and unrest on University Campuses across america during pro palestinian protests. In his first Public Comments since the nationwide demonstrations began, he said people had the right to Freedom Of Speech but the law had to be respected. It comes after police in los angeles cleared a pro palestinian protest camp after a standoff at the university of californias la campus. Emma vardy is at ucla for us now. Well, police moved in here overnight after you said i had made it pretty clear that, after you said i had made it pretty clearthat, in after you said i had made it pretty clear that, in their eyes, the encampment was unlawful. Ucla. Behind me now, the clean up operation continues, but there have been some demonstrators remaining around the campus, so this isnt overjust around the campus, so this isnt over just yet. After midnight, the first signs police had begun to execute their operation. We police had begun to execute their oeration. ~. ,. ,. , operation. We are not leaving des ite operation. We are not leaving despite building operation. We are not leaving despite building a operation. We are not leaving despite building a makeshift i despite building a makeshift fortress around them, the protesters barricades were overpowered. We are seeing police now going into one side of the encampment, and it looks like they are starting to tire tensed down. It became clear the encampment was unlikely to last the night. Hundreds of police formed a ring of steel, while others systematically took aground. A large number of officers are gradually making their way further in, and they are setting off a volley of flash bangs here to disrupt the crowd as they do it. The deafening Police Grenades continued for much of the operation. Some protesters claimed officers had fired at them with rubber bullets. Butjust before dawn, their task was almost complete. In a matter of hours, police have now dismantled and flattened much of this encampment, and the last remaining protesters are now being detained and taken away. It is being reported that more than 100 arrests were made. Bbc news, can you give a reaction to what has happened tonight .

Police operations across the us have demonstrated that encampments will not be tolerated for long. Here, it has disrupted many students exam week. It may still be some time before this campus returns to normality. Emma vardy, bbc news, los angeles. It will be the uks largest indoor arena when it finally opens. The new Co Op Live Arena in manchester, costing £365 million, is supposed to be up and running already, but it was forced to postpone its opening performance last night for the third time. The decision was taken so late that fans were queuing outside waiting to go in. Heres danny savage. Its opening performance last night for the third time. A hard to get ticket to see 0livia Rodrigo at the Co Op Live Arena in manchester. Its all ive been looking forward to. Ive got exams at the moment, its stressful, and it was like a break. It was the big thing that i was waiting for. But last night, amy and grace found out the concert, due to take place on saturday, had been called off because of another problem with the venue. Ijust cried and i cried, and it was more upset than anger. It was just awful. She was on a series on Disney Channel when i was little, i watched her on that, and then i listened to her music. I would have loved to have seen alive, it would have been amazing. Not a lot of artists do so many shows up north, its kind of like. So for manchester to get two shows in this new big arena, it was like, oh, my goodness. So what is the latest issue . Well, yesterday, part of the heating and Ventilation System became detached. It now has to be completely checked over. So theres now uncertainty of when this venue will actually open, although keane and take that are still scheduled to perform here in the coming days. This is the inside, by the way. Most people have only seen the outside. Just before it was supposed to open, the bbc was shown round by tim leiweke, the big boss of the owners. Even though its the largest arena in the uk and europe, its also acoustically the most perfect arena in the uk, and its the tightest arena in the uk. And so from an Engineering Standpoint and a design standpoint, its a marvel. But its a marvel which is still to see its first big gig. The owners say they are deeply sorry for the upheaval. We booked the tickets back in september when my daughter was in hospital. She was in hospital for three months. She suffers from anorexia, and when this tour was announced, it was a really big focus point. No 0livia Rodrigo concert tomorrow has really affected this family. She instantly sort of reverted into herself and got into bed and has lost sort of the hope of seeing somebody that she idolises and that part of her recovery is. Having those milestones and things that she can work towards is really important, and having one taken away at the last minute has had such a detrimental impact on her. Peter kay was supposed to be the opening act at britains biggest indoor arena. Who it will be still isnt clear. Safety has to be the priority, say the operators. Danny savage, bbc news, manchester. Many people who were due to attend concerts at the arena had paid for transport and hotels, as well as tickets. So what are your rights if events are postponed . Heres our cost of living correspondent colletta smith. Anyone who had tickets to a cancelled gig will be gutted, but they shouldnt be out of pocket. So how do you get your money back from a cancelled gig . Well, if you bought through an official seller, it should be pretty easy an automatic refund, usually in the same way that you made the payment for the full face value of the tickets. If you bought from a secondary supplier, though, thats not always the case. It doesnt matter if the gig was cancelled or postponed, you have the same rights. So if you cant make the new dates, you should still get a full refund. Unless you booked your hotel deal as part of a package along with a gig ticket, theres no automatic money back. So how do you get a hotel refund . Well, firstly, check whether youre still within the cancellation period. Some sites like booking. Com give you a full refund even up to 48 hours in advance. 0therwise, ring the hotel, see if theyll give you your money back or if theyll switch the date. Otherwise, your last hope is travel insurance. If you have any, check and see whether hotels are included. For the fans whod already travelled last night, they wont be able to get a refund for any trains or buses that theyve used. But otherwise, can you change your Travel Tickets . Well, if youve got an advanced train ticket, then you can change the date or the time that you want to travel right up to the moment that yourjourney is due to begin. Itll cost you a tenner plus any price difference, so if you get a last minute gig cancellation, then its the first thing you should do, because with a bit of nifty footwork, you can avoid losing money. A number of people have been arrested after a group of protestors blocked a coach that was collecting migrants and taking them to the Bibby Stockholm Barge in dorset. The coach was stopped by demonstrators outside a hotel in south london, who surrounded it and threw bikes in its path. Simonjones reports. This is the coach that arrived this morning to move several migrants from peckham to the south coast. But these protesters had other ideas, letting down one of its tyres and blocking the road. They insist the Bibby Stockholm Barge is not a suitable place to house Asylum Seekers and the people due to be taken there dont want to go. Word quickly spread on social media and the campaigners, now numbering in the hundreds, were joined by supportive local residents. This is so unnecessary. Its peckham. We all look after each other. Theyve been here for a while, loads of people in local communities know them and we dont want them to get forced out for no reason. There seems to be no reason behind it at all. Well, tension remains high here. A short time ago, the police decided to move in and tell the protesters they had to get out of the road, but its been met with a lot of opposition. Several people were arrested for blocking the road. The home office insist the Bibby Stockholm Barge is safe, secure and appropriate. They described the protests as intimidatory and aggressive. But the coach eventually left, without any passengers. Simonjones, bbc news, peckham. Our top story this evening john swinney is the man who looks set to be scotlands new first minster after days of political chaos. Still to come, how orangutans have learnt to self medicate to heal wounds. Coming up on bbc news the semi finals are underway at the crucible, will this be David Gilberts year . Hes playing kyren wilson for a first ever place in the World Snooker championship final. British scientists have managed to piece back together the skull of a 75,000 year old neanderthal woman whose remains were found in a cave in northern iraq. They put together this 3d model after more than 100 bones were put back together like a jigsaw puzzles. 0ur Science EditorRebecca Morelle has more. Revealed for the first time a face from the ancient past. A Female Neanderthal who lived 75,000 years ago. Shes been called shanidar z. Her face was recreated from this skull. We can say that shes neanderthal from various features, so perhaps the most obvious one is this quite large brow ridge that runs across above the eyes. She was probably around her mid forties, with particularly worn teeth. Her chewings not as effective as it would have been, so shes not able to eat in quite the same way. Weve got some other indications of poor dental health, some infections, some gum disease as well. Probably by the time the skeleton and the teeth are this kind of worn, youre actually getting to the natural end of life. The skeleton was discovered in a cave in the kurdistan region of iraq. The excavation was followed by a documentary team. Since the 1950s, archaeologists there have found bones from at least ten neanderthals. They think its a burial site. They were looking after other members of the group and that care went on after they died. Because they were carefully placed and probably covered. Theres absolutely no doubt that they maintained a tradition over several hundred years of this is where you put grandma. Neanderthals and modern humans, thats us, separated from a common ancestor at least 500,000 years ago. Neanderthals then evolved across europe and asia while we were evolving in africa. About 60,000 years ago, though, modern humans headed north in a major migration. But 20,000 years after that, neanderthals disappeared. We could be the prime suspects in their demise, perhaps outcompeting neanderthals. But we did coexist for a while. The two species interbred and most of us have about 2 neanderthal dna. It was once thought that neanderthals werent very sophisticated. But there is evidence from the cave they used tools, built fires and cooked together. You can see neanderthals sitting around, preparing food, heating th
