9:00 pm
hello, i'm geeta guru—murthy. you're watching the context on bbc news. the deathtoll in turkey and syria now passes 20,000. after more than 80 hours of searching so far, hopes fade for the many still trapped under the rubble. fears now of a secondary disaster, the world helath organisation warns of the challenge of keeping survivors alive. president zelensky addresses the european parliament — continuing his calls for the west to send ukraine fighterjets. tonight with the context — jim murphy, former labour cabinet minister, and jennifer carroll, who served as a republican lieutenant governor of florida.
9:01 pm
welcome to the programme. the updates from turkey and syria are relentlessly grim. the deathtoll has now passed 20,000 — but only a fraction of the devastated areas have been searched, with hope fading for those still trapped. though there are still miracles. these pictures have recently come in from diyarbakir — and they show a little boy, six—year—old basir yildiz, being rescued. crews had been digging for him for 80 hours. but even for the lucky ones like basir, there are challenges ahead. the world health organization has talked about a new disaster, with thousands unable to find shelter, food and water. help is arriving — the first aid has crossed into syria, through the one border crossing point that is open. and in the last hour, the director general of the who, dr tedros ghebreyesus, has said he is on his way to syria. for the latest, our chief
9:02 pm
international correspondent lyse doucet is in southern turkey. it's hard here in southern turkey — really hard here, but it's even harder across the border in syria. i think we can stop emphasising that even before disaster struck in the early hours of monday morning, northwest syria, the last rebel—held enclave, was already one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. and that aid convoy you mentioned was not an aid for the earthquake survivors — it was an aid convoy which had been stuck at the one border crossing before the earthquake. and now it's been allowed to come in. but i also have to comment allaround me, the air here is thick with smoke. people are sitting on the sidewalks, on the pavements around open fires because they are trying to keep warm. all of the buildings behind us, where people have been evacuated,
9:03 pm
have been told to leave because it's too dangerous. their buildings are still standing — but in broad light of day, you can see they're all full of cracks and could still yet collapse. we are joined by gwen hines, chief executive officer of save the children uk, and a trustee for the uk disasters emergency committee. it is absolutely desperate and we have been it is absolutely desperate and we have been watching it is absolutely desperate and we have been watching these it is absolutely desperate and we have been watching these pictures obviously since monday, what are you most worried about right now? honestly, it's a horrific situation and we been watching the news of the death toll picking up the real danger to those who survived and made die of quarter hunger, diseases will spread very quickly and their teams in the ground to save the children as well as the emergency committee partners and we are very keenin committee partners and we are very keen in urging the british public to

9:07 pm
images coming to us on every hour. it proved terrifically again the vulnerability to natural disasters and you are right, we had things like the earthquake and the enormous tsunami in the boxing day tsunami the important things to support their immediately and reemphasize what they said and save the children. i know the human instinct is to go and buy some nappies and get an old quilt from your house. and thatjust isn't needed. it is difficult to get it there so, if you can afford even £1, that is much more effective than going to the shop and sending supplies. 0ver is me looking at it is that politics appears to be getting in the way thatis appears to be getting in the way that is why these charities are so important. we appear to have added the prioritisation of the rescue
9:08 pm
effort on a humanitarian effort in some parts of syria and in turkey, the president, a populist, is looking for reelection and again, i worry about the politicisation of the rescue and recovery in turkey and in parts of syria.— the rescue and recovery in turkey and in parts of syria. what you mean b that? and in parts of syria. what you mean by that? deserve _ and in parts of syria. what you mean by that? deserve any _ and in parts of syria. what you mean by that? deserve any evidence - and in parts of syria. what you mean by that? deserve any evidence that l by that? deserve any evidence that the president _ by that? deserve any evidence that the president has _ by that? deserve any evidence that the president has refused - by that? deserve any evidence that the president has refused to - by that? deserve any evidence that| the president has refused to engage with opposition mayors and prioritised engagement with his own party and his own networks and in syria, that is a country that is currently one of the most plated nations on earth and as you heard already, some of the supplies that are getting into syria are not in response to the earthquake. it's in response to the earthquake. it's in response to the human man—made tragedy of the ongoing multidimensional conflict that is happening there. it is piling and

9:12 pm
lee anderson, has clashed with a bbc radio presenter over accusations of dishonesty. during an interview with verity cowley, from bbc radio nottingham, mr anderson was asked about a video of him setting up an encounter with a voter during the 2019 election campaign. he responded by asking the presenter ten times whether she'd ever told a lie. well, i'll tell you what i'm talking about when i'm talking about dishonesty. i'm talking about that video that you did, where you asked a friend to pose as anti—labour swing voter. yet, have you ever told a lie? have you ever told a lie? but we're not talking about me, this isn't, you know... no, let's have a balanced conversation — have you ever told a lie? well, i've not asked somebody to do a pretend to be somebody that they are not. i didn't ask you that. i've not asked somebody to pretend... so verity, have you ever told a lie? a yes or no answer.
9:13 pm
is this a clever distraction strategy by the prime minister rishi sunak to take their minds off strikes in the economic and the uk byjust going hard on culture wars? i think people are puzzled as to who this individual even is. he was a backbench mp and he delights in provoking responses newbie sitting at home delighted this evening that he started. but there are many people who claimed that this is a clever ruse by the prime minister and i think when the conservatives lose the next general election, before the proof point of the extent to which conservative party has been corroded from being a reasonable moderate centrist patriotic party to just a party that seeks to pick fights with anyone that he disagrees with and so, yes, he is there to
9:14 pm
create controversy around identity politics but i suspect actually that he loses his seat at the next election and i think this is part of the strategy but it's more of a copout than a clever campaign by the prime minister. he. copout than a clever campaign by the prime minister.— prime minister. he, for example did not sopport — prime minister. he, for example did not sopport the _ prime minister. he, for example did not support the england _ prime minister. he, for example did not support the england football - not support the england football team because they decided to take the knee in support black lives matter. and he does court controversy but with the united states in midterms next year, certain political strongholds are needed for the conservatives and the republicans, characters such as this can be useful, can't they? thea;r can be useful, can't they? they could but _ can be useful, can't they? they could but i _ can be useful, can't they? they could but i can _ can be useful, can't they? they could but i can also _ can be useful, can't they? they could but i can also be - could but i can also be counterproductive because listening to her_ counterproductive because listening to her interview with him, i thought

9:17 pm
him, five years in opposition if the conservatives lose the next election, borisjohnson wants to be prime minister again preferably within a year with an destabilising rishi sunak which is part of the reason why he is travelling the world and making his high—profile speeches. he will have been talking to her and inheriting receipt but if you run from his own seatjust of london, it sparks a sense of a lack of confidence and his own credibility and ability to reach middle—of—the—road voters. president zelensky�*s tour of europe continues, today he was in brussels, giving a speech at the european parliament. he was greeted with a standing ovation, on a par with the one he was given yesterday in london.
9:18 pm
political leaders in the west have been impressed by his bravery — he reportedly has to move location daily to avoid being targeted. mr zelensky has made a fresh appeal to european leaders for more weapons, particularly fighter jets, saying ukraine is not just defending itself — but also europe�*s way of life. translation: we are defending from the anti-european, - most anti—european force of the modern world. we are defending ourselves, we ukrainians on the battlefield, together with you. applause. and i thank you that we are defending it together, and we must defend ourselves. i�*m joined now by the former polish prime minister, jan krzysztof bielecki. do you think you�*re up in the united states should offer fighterjets to ukraine and if so, when? i
9:19 pm
states should offer fighter 'ets to ukraine and if so, when?h ukraine and if so, when? i think first of all. _ ukraine and if so, when? i think first of all, we _ ukraine and if so, when? i think first of all, we have _ ukraine and if so, when? i think first of all, we have to act - ukraine and if so, when? i thinkj first of all, we have to act faster and president zelensky quite often underlines and secondly, if we agree with what was said that ukrainians are defending the front line and the front line of our universal european values and the problem of the military assistance should be facilitated by, if today, maybe the discussion about the fighter jet is revealed to add the opportunity to quickly to train the pilots and to adjust the operational system, then
9:20 pm
it can probably be postponed but what is actually stopping us from providing tanks, providing them faster if in europe, we have 2000 tanks we provide rather quickly and it is not that many. what don�*t we provide missiles and longer than the existing ones because ukrainians would like to defend territory after and today, with the ammunition and mentors, they cannot even reach the border. and so, placing the depot and also, the command centres and having proper munitions, we really
9:21 pm
should work today as much as it is and then of course, think about the next steps. and then of course, think about the next steps-— and then of course, think about the next ste s. ., ., , , , next steps. some long-range missiles or fi . hter next steps. some long-range missiles or fighterjets — next steps. some long-range missiles or fighterjets is _ next steps. some long-range missiles or fighterjets is fears _ next steps. some long-range missiles or fighterjets is fears of _ next steps. some long-range missiles or fighterjets is fears of hitting - or fighterjets is fears of hitting russian territories and the obvious danger of escalation with a full blown nato versus russia conflict. yes, the never—ending story in the discussion about the installation and if you look at the last 12 commands, on everything that is done by the west which was seen as russia as escalation. we should not really follow the famous german, which they say in english is the german fear of escalation, escalation. because we actually have two defendants sense and not escalating, we simply stand
9:22 pm
for the basic international rules and we are standing against the dramatic devastation of the electorate and grieved in ukraine. when zinc ef in december, it was really, devastating to watch how much, what a big percentage of the infrastructure is destroyed by the russians. it means people cannot get electricity, do not get heating and quite a heavy winter at the moment in ukraine and so, why we should be so concerned about russians and have those moral obligations for the values. ., ., , ., those moral obligations for the values. ., ., , values. you have led your country and ou values. you have led your country and you obviously _ values. you have led your country and you obviously understand - values. you have led your country| and you obviously understand very well the political tensions in that

region. are you not fearful that if nato massively escalates its support for ukraine, but there is an unpredictable nature and the russian response we have seen fears around nuclear energy supplies in ukraine but also, nuclear weapons and that is a very real fear for so many, isn�*t it? we don�*t know how vladimir putin will respond? isn't it? we don't know how vladimir putin will respond?— putin will respond? vladimir putin will probably _ putin will respond? vladimir putin will probably celebrate _ putin will respond? vladimir putin will probably celebrate and - putin will respond? vladimir putin will probably celebrate and has . putin will respond? vladimir putin will probably celebrate and has a i will probably celebrate and has a nice, the assassination in 2006. we know very well that in 2008, he moved to georgia and we know well that he moved into thousand 1a to crimea and he wanted to annex part of the republics and we also know
9:24 pm
that no one will stop putin by asking him to behave politely and she wrote and his memoirs that when putin came to me, after the assassination, i was shouting at him and he said this is wrong, putin and you, what happened nothing? but never really have a minute left on this part of the programme, tell us about what you think he would settle for? ~ , ., , ., about what you think he would settle for? , ., for? will he be open to some sort of deal? firstly. _ for? will he be open to some sort of deal? firstly. he _ for? will he be open to some sort of deal? firstly, he would _ for? will he be open to some sort of deal? firstly, he would set - for? will he be open to some sort of deal? firstly, he would set up - for? will he be open to some sort of deal? firstly, he would set up for. deal? firstly, he would set up for recognition _ deal? firstly, he would set up for recognition of _ deal? firstly, he would set up for recognition of power _ deal? firstly, he would set up for recognition of power and - deal? firstly, he would set up for recognition of power and in - deal? firstly, he would set up for recognition of power and in the l recognition of power and in the united and strong west. and he respects the power and that�*s the only thing he respects and not nice
9:25 pm
to talk or anything like that. after the time being, the situation is not that bad in the west is united in the french president even says today that we should help ukraine to victory, even the germans are saying that russia must not win the war and so, this message is clear that the west must stay united and the west must show its powers. it is the west which is powerful and really able to check the situation. we have to be faster and do much better. from a polish prime _ faster and do much better. from a polish prime minister, _ faster and do much better. from a polish prime minister, thank - faster and do much better. from a polish prime minister, thank you l polish prime minister, thank you very much indeed for being with us. we are back in a few minutes with the guests tonight and join us for
9:26 pm
much more in the next half an hour. hello there. high pressure is going to continue to bring a lot of dry, unsettled weather for the rest of this week, throughout the weekend and indeed into much of next week as well. there will be a little bit of rain, i think, next week from wednesday onwards. tonight, it�*s largely dry, clear spells through central and southern areas closer to this area of high pressure. further north, the winds will be stronger. there�*s more isobars now the charts, and there will be more cloud weather fronts tending to bring outbreaks of rain or showers to the north and west of scotland, maybe the odd one for northern ireland. but most places will be dry, breezy and cloudy across the northern half of the country. hence temperatures not falling much below three or four degrees under clearer skies towards the south, it�*s going to be another cold one
9:27 pm
with some frost, maybe some fog. but i think there�*ll be enough of a breeze to move that on. friday, high pressure to the south, lower pressure to the north. again, it�*s going to be breezy across the north. weather fronts bringing outbreaks of rain. and we�*re into a milder air mass, i think, on friday. 0urairsource coming in off the atlantic. so a lot of cloud around, it starts off sunny and cold in the south, but i think cloud may build up through the afternoon. so i�*m thinking, i think friday afternoon looks cloudier than what we had through today. some splashes of rain across the north, double figure values for most of us. could be up to around 8—9 celsius degrees in the south because of that cold start. but it turns milder through friday night. quite a lot of cloud streaming in from the west.
9:28 pm
a few clear spells here and there. it�*ll be very mild across the north of the uk. it could be ten degrees in aberdeen overnight, four and five in the south. so i think mostly frost free. and then for the weekend, this area of high pressure holds on quite a lot of cloud trapped in it, but it�*s going to bring a lot of dry weather both saturday and sunday, but with the best of the sunshine on saturday, central and eastern parts of england, northeast scotland, some shelter from the west, south—westerly wind, more cloud generally further south and west. but look at the temperatures, 11 to 13 degrees. so we�*re well above where we should be for the time of year. part two of the weekend, a similar story, a lot of cloud across southern, northern, western areas, but with the best of any sunshine towards the east. so sunshine will be limited. but again, it�*s going to feel quite mild, ten, 11 degrees. then as we move into next week, it�*s a similar story stays dry, settled, mild chance of some rain thinking towards the end of the new week.
9:30 pm
hello, i�*m geeta guru—murthy. you�*re watching the context on bbc news. the subcommittee on the weaponisation of federal government holds its first hearing. the new republican lead group takes aim at the fbi and the department ofjustice. it�*s super bowl week in america, but parents are hoping their kids will choose a less physical version of the sport — flag football. and a changing of the guard in the tech world? microsoft�*s chatgpt has captured the headlines, so despite a slightly rocky start for google�*s bard, will it catch up? tonight with the context, jim murphy, former labour cabinet minister, and jennifer carroll, who served as a republican lieutenant governor of florida.
9:31 pm
welcome back to the programme. many republicans saw the january 6 committee as a partisan attack on donald trump and the republican party and swore they would create their own committees to investigatejoe biden and the department ofjustice if they won control of the house at the midterms. they did — and today saw the first hearing of the house select subcommittee on the weaponisation of the federal government. the republicans on the committee are focused on their claim that the fbi and department ofjustice used their powers to bring down donald trump, and failed to properly investigate joe biden�*s son, hunter biden. here�*s a flavour of what we saw today. throughout my testimony, i am not talking about the men and women in government who conduct themselves with integrity and patriotism. but at the outset, it is important to recognise corrupt individuals within federal agencies that i am
9:32 pm
talking about are not acting alone. they operate as vital partners of the left—wing political movement that includes most members of the mainstream media, big tech social media giants, global institutions and foundations, democrat party operatives and elected officials. the white house has called it a political stunt. and the democrats on the subcommittee hit out at republicans. there is a difference, my colleagues, between legitimate oversight and weaponisation of congress and our processes, particularly our committee work, as a political tool. i'm deeply concerned about the use of the subcommittee as a place to settle scores, showcase conspiracy theories and advance an extreme agenda that risks undermining americans' faith in our democracy. hannah muldavin, former spokesperson for the january 6 committee, is now senior communications adviser for the congressional integrity project.
9:33 pm
she is with us tonight. thanks for joining us. just tell us what happened in a bit more detail today. yeah, thank you for having me here. i want to echo what the ranking member said on this committee today, which is, there is room in congress for political oversight, i was a part of that on the generator six committee, where you follow the facts and commit findings to the american people, and then you have always thought today and this week in congress, which was a group of mega— politicians that are now on these committees leading questions that don�*t bring us any facts, they bring us a lot of conspiracy theories that aren�*t really rooted in anything that is factual or that the american people want to be hearing —— maggart republicans. today in the committee on weaponisation, we saw basically fox news line—up, and i say that because
9:34 pm
two of the witnesses that republicans brought in our fox news paid commentators. we did not see many facts today, which is what i�*m used to when i was in congress, but we did not see much today. flit we did not see much today. of course, the generator six hearings have been criticised, partly in the same way, by some on republican right. i same way, by some on republican riuht. , ., , same way, by some on republican riuht. ,. , same way, by some on republican riuht. ,., , ., right. i can understand why some on the republican _ right. i can understand why some on the republican right _ right. i can understand why some on the republican right would - right. i can understand why some on the republican right would criticise l the republican right would criticise it, and it is because artefacts found that some of them were involved in it. we sent out a subpoena tojimjordan, who is subpoena tojim jordan, who is the chair of this weaponisation committee. he actually did not come forward and talk to us. he defied that subpoena. we know that he talks to president trump on the day of january 6, we had questions for him, so i can understand why some that are leading these investigations that were involved criticised us, but i can say that i was really proud to be a part of that investigation because it was a nonpartisan investigation led with bipartisan members. i think if you
9:35 pm
look at liz cheney�*s track record on what she believes in terms of politics, no one would say that she has a liberal point of view on a lot of issues, but she put the country first and we presented a case to the american people that donald trump was the centre of a multipart plan, and so i can understand why some of those individuals would criticise us but i think these two investigations are quite different. irate but i think these two investigations are quite different.— are quite different. we are obviously _ are quite different. we are obviously looking - are quite different. we are obviously looking at - are quite different. we are obviously looking at a - are quite different. we are obviously looking at a runl are quite different. we are i obviously looking at a run for the white house in 202a. this is potentially still going to cause some damage, isn�*t it, tojoe biden, if questions are still being raked over hunter biden? i if questions are still being raked over hunter biden?— if questions are still being raked over hunter biden? i want to take a ste back over hunter biden? i want to take a step back and _ over hunter biden? i want to take a step back and look _ over hunter biden? i want to take a step back and look at _ over hunter biden? i want to take a step back and look at exactly - step back and look at exactly what you mentioned, 2024, which is what we have heardjim you mentioned, 2024, which is what we have heard jim jordan, you mentioned, 2024, which is what we have heardjimjordan, who leads this oversight committee can actually mention. mr raskin, who was on the january 6 committee, testified in front of the committee today and brought the fact that at a
9:36 pm
conservative political action conference last year, jim jordan said, we are looking to frame 2024 because trump is trying to run again and we want to make sure he wins. and how this affects 2024 we have to look at how these republicans have set themselves. we need to look at president biden this week in congress, a really good example of how president biden during his state of the union talked about issues for the american people that we want to solve. we want to make sure that we have social security and medicare for all of the hard—working americans that have paid in for that. what we don�*t want in congress is marjorie taylor greene heckling president biden during that speech. i will mention archery taylor green is a part of the oversight committee that held a hearing on twitter this week where no facts came out. in fact, facts that were the opposite of what they brought in, they came
9:37 pm
out. when we are looking at 2024, thicket is more to look at who is making this political, who is using congress and the american taxpayer dollars to push their political agenda and he was focusing on what the american people want, which is solving issues that are important to them when they�*re at their kitchen table. them when they're at their kitchen table. ., ~' ,, , them when they're at their kitchen table. ., ~ ,, , . let me bring injennifer carroll, a republican lieutenant governor of florida and jim republican lieutenant governor of florida andjim murphy, former labour minister. is this just a political stunt? labour minister. is this 'ust a political gunfifi labour minister. is this 'ust a political stunt? labour minister. is this 'ust a olitical stunt? ., ., , , political stunt? there are two sides to every coin. _ political stunt? there are two sides to every coin, and _ political stunt? there are two sides to every coin, and no _ political stunt? there are two sides to every coin, and no matter- political stunt? there are two sides to every coin, and no matter what i to every coin, and no matter what argument — to every coin, and no matter what argument her_ to every coin, and no matter what argument her on _ to every coin, and no matter what argument her on one _ to every coin, and no matter what argument her on one side, - to every coin, and no matter what argument her on one side, you i to every coin, and no matter whatl argument her on one side, you will hear— argument her on one side, you will hear an— argument her on one side, you will hear an opposing _ argument her on one side, you will hear an opposing argument. - argument her on one side, you will hear an opposing argument. the i hear an opposing argument. the weaponisation _ hear an opposing argument. the weaponisation of— hear an opposing argument. the weaponisation of government i hear an opposing argument. the weaponisation of government isl weaponisation of government is nothing — weaponisation of government is nothing new _ weaponisation of government is nothing new it _ weaponisation of government is nothing new. it happened - weaponisation of government isj nothing new. it happened under president — nothing new. it happened under president truman. _ nothing new. it happened under president truman. the - nothing new. it happened under president truman. the fbi i president truman. the fbi investigate _ president truman. the fbi investigate in _ president truman. the fbi investigate in dr— president truman. the fbi investigate in dr king i president truman. the fbi investigate in dr king and i president truman. the fbi i investigate in dr king and black panthers. — investigate in dr king and black panthers, black— investigate in dr king and black panthers, black panthers, i investigate in dr king and black panthers, black panthers, so. investigate in dr king and black. panthers, black panthers, so the thing _ panthers, black panthers, so the thing about— panthers, black panthers, so the thing about is— panthers, black panthers, so the thing about is that _ panthers, black panthers, so the thing about is that we _ panthers, black panthers, so the thing about is that we have - panthers, black panthers, so the thing about is that we have to i panthers, black panthers, so the l thing about is that we have to have a level— thing about is that we have to have a level of— thing about is that we have to have a level of transparency _ thing about is that we have to have a level of transparency in _ a level of transparency in government— a level of transparency in government and - a level of transparency in government and we i a level of transparency in government and we alsol a level of transparency in i government and we also have a level of transparency in - government and we also have to a level of transparency in _ government and we also have to have a level— government and we also have to have a level of— government and we also have to have a level of honesty. _ government and we also have to have a level of honesty. there _ government and we also have to have

9:43 pm
instead of tackling the opposition, you have to pull a tag from around the waist of the ball carrier to stop them. and it's getting more and more popular every year, with millions now playing the sport around the world. and there's a big push for it to be part of the 2028 olympics in los angeles. mexican flag football star diana flores is considered one of the greatest quarterbacks in the sport today. i spoke with her a short time ago and she told me how excited she is about the sport going forward. flag football brings the best of football. but like everything is mashed up and sped up. like, it is faster, it is creative. it's played in different formats. it is inclusive. and it gives equal representation to men and women to perform at the highest level on the field. so flag football, it's all about community, about passion, and it has been growing amazingly, like, worldwide during the past years. and it's safer, presumably? well, it is a non—contact sport.
9:44 pm
that's one thing that i personally enjoy about the game, because it gives you the opportunity to develop at the highest level on the field. and that's why it's sort of better for women, being honest about that? well, that is one of the greatest things of the sport, or the best qualities of it. i could say it is non—contact, but also the creativity that allows you to perform and always challenge yourself to develop at the highest level on the field. i would say that for me are some of the best qualities of the sport and the things that make me enjoy the game. i've played for 17 years now, and i can say that to see how the game has evolved during the years and how big it is getting worldwide, it is amazing. right now, we have around 20 million people worldwide playing the sport in 100 different countries.
9:45 pm
and imagine that, so it is amazing how big the sport is getting. and we've got some pictures of you coaching some of the youngsters there with you. do you think it could end up being recognised at the olympics? well, yes. currently, flag football is on the list for the la '28 olympic games. we're waiting for the final answer to get into this olympic games for 2028 coming up this year, so we are on the way to be there. it could be like the biggest honour and a dream come true, not only for me as a player but all the flag football community worldwide. so we're so excited and hoping this can be done. and i'm sure you're going to be watching the super bowl this weekend. what's your prediction? well, my prediction... i'm really sure that it is going to be a great game. i mean, the chiefs, the eagles, they both have played amazing games,
9:46 pm
they had amazing seasons. personally, i just want to... i cannot wait to see the show on the field. they are so talented players. personally, i have to say that i was so excited for having mahomes at the pro bowl because, for me, he's like the perfect flag football player also, because his abilities and the way he plays on the field. i think he could be an amazing flag football player. i'm happy he got into the super bowl, so i feel that i'm kind of cheering a little bit for the chiefs, but i'm pretty sure it's going to be an amazing show. and you think, finally, that flag football has the same thrill as, you know, the kind of traditional sport for the viewers? for sure, for sure. and we had, like, proof of that during these pro bowl games. it was the first time
9:47 pm
the pro bowl games changed to a flag football game. and i have to say that it breaks a record of attendance for flag football with about 60,000 people in the stadium, and i think the fans really enjoyed it because you have the best of football but in a different format. you know, it is faster, it is about agility, it is about creativity. so, i'm so happy and i cannot wait to see where the sport is going to end during the next years. diana flores. jennifer, you have a sporting progress in yourfamily. most definitely. my son had a career of nine _ most definitely. my son had a career of nine years — most definitely. my son had a career of nine years playing _ most definitely. my son had a career of nine years playing in _ most definitely. my son had a career of nine years playing in the - most definitely. my son had a career of nine years playing in the nfl- most definitely. my son had a career of nine years playing in the nfl and i of nine years playing in the nfl and my grandson— of nine years playing in the nfl and my grandson is— of nine years playing in the nfl and my grandson is currently— of nine years playing in the nfl and my grandson is currently playing. my grandson is currently playing ftexibte —

to do with al, butjennifer carroll, jim murphy, thank you. and thank you so much for watching stop see you all very soon. hello there. there's been a feeling of spring in the air over the last few days. it's been gradually turning milder. we've had high pressure overhead — that's brought a lot of dry and settled weather for the majority of the country, so quite a spring—feeling photograph there from herefordshire with all the crocuses underneath blue sunny skies, and same too for these snowdrops in northamptonshire. now for the end of the week, as we head into the weekend, it's going to stay on the mild side. in fact, it's going to turn milder. it's going to be mostly dry, thanks to high pressure. and there will be some sunshine around, although it's not going to be wall—to—wall sunshine, there will be variable amounts of cloud too. friday we've got high pressure to the south, lower pressure to the north.
9:56 pm
these weather fronts continuing to bring some rain and stronger winds to northern and western scotland, but you'll notice the orange colours. we're pulling this mild air off the atlantic on a south—westerly or a westerly wind for friday and into the weekend. so a mostly dry day, i think. best of the sunshine towards the south after a chilly start, but even here it may turn a bit cloudier into the afternoon. splashes of rain affecting the north and the west of scotland. here it will be breezier. these are mean wind speeds — gusts may be higher. the winds lighter further south. those temperatures range from around 9 to 11 degrees for many — we could be up to 13 degrees given some shelter across north—east scotland, and some sunshine. through friday night, it stays dry. we'll see cloud coming and going. a few clear spells here and there, one or two splashes of rain across northern scotland. but with more cloud around, i think, a bit of a breeze, temperatures range from it to 10 degrees, so i don't think there should be any problems with frost in the south. and then into the weekend, this area of high pressure exerts its force even more across the uk, pushing the weather fronts that have been affecting scotland recently out of the way, so it should be dry here as well. variable cloud, some breeze around,
9:57 pm
particularly across northern and western scotland, where it'll be breeziest. for england and wales, there'll be patchy cloud, a little bit of brightness, and very mild for the time of year. 11s and 12s across the board. similar story for part two of the weekend. our strong area of high pressure continues to dominate the weather scene, keeping these weather fronts out at bay, so it looks like it will be dry as well for the majority of scotland. again, the best of any brightness will be towards sheltered eastern areas. quite a lot of cloud across southern and western parts, and again, temperatures range from around 10 to 12 celsius. so a mild weekend to come and mostly dry. as we head into the new week, we've still got this area of high pressure blocking the weather pattern sitting across europe and bringing us anotherfine day on monday, so i think another largely frost—free morning on monday. variable cloud, in fact some areas could be quite grey and cloudy all day. bit of brightness here and there, and again temperatures sitting around 10, maybe 11 degrees in the mildest spots. as we move through next week, this area of high pressure begins to ebb away towards the near—continent.
9:58 pm
that may allow for a time some weather systems to hurtle in off the atlantic, and that'll bring spells of wetter and windier weather to our shores, but high pressure always wants to be sitting just to the south of the uk, so it could be largely dry towards southern areas. temperature—wise, a hit up and down, i think, through the new week, but i think for the most part we'll be in the milder south—westerly winds, as you can see here on the outlook chart, the icons showing there's an increasing chance of more unsettled, wetter weather i think from around the middle part of next week onwards for all areas. stay tuned. see you later.

tonight at ten... the pain in turkey and syria as the death toll continues to climb. four days on from the earthquake, 20,000 people are now known to have died. still relatives hope their loved ones might emerge alive. i tried to do yesterday digging myself, but you can't. you see the concrete like this — i've got no power to lift this. this was an entire neighbourhood and it's completely destroyed. it was hundreds of apartments, thousands of people, and the majority of them are still buried. there are stories too of miraculous survival. we'll hear from doctors looking after the syrian baby born in the rubble. and we'll show you how difficult it remains for aid to cross the border from turkey into syria. also tonight...
