a "pre—war era" and nobody on the continent will feel safe if russia defeats ukraine. mr tusk very well realises that autocrats like mr putin signal ahead of time what they're going to do. and mr putin has long said that he wishes to so—called defend the rights of russian speakers wherever they may be. we start with ukraine. and a blunt warning from poland's prime minister donald tusk to the world — that war is a real threat and europe is not ready. "war is no longer a concept from the past", he said. adding — "it's real and it started over two years ago." he wants urgent military aid for ukraine. he said the next two years will be crucial. saying, "we are living in the most
9:31 pm
critical moment since the end of the second world war." as war continues in ukraine, poland remains acutely aware of the risk of conflict expanding. on thursday, donald tusk met with his ukrainian counterpart in warsaw. earlier this week, polish defence forces reported a russian missile had temporarily entered its airspace. poland has committed 4% of gdp to defence spending in 2024 — and it's urged its neighbours to up their contributions. tusk himself has been involved in ongoing discussions with other major european powers — earlier this month france's macron, and germany's scholz. let's bring in our panel. andrew fisher, former director of policy for the labour party. let's reflect firstly on the language, this from donald tusk is pretty stark, europe isjust language, this from donald tusk is pretty stark, europe is just not ready. he
9:32 pm
pretty stark, europe is “ust not read . , pretty stark, europe is 'ust not read . , ., , . ready. he is right to be concerned. if russia does _ ready. he is right to be concerned. if russia does defeat _ ready. he is right to be concerned. if russia does defeat ukraine - ready. he is right to be concerned. if russia does defeat ukraine and i if russia does defeat ukraine and clearly other neighbouring states are going to be concerned. we have had the scene with russia in years gone by invade ukraine in 2014 and an ex—crimea and have seen them invade georgia and annex parts of that country. clearly if they defeat ukraine militarily and occupy ukraine, the neighbouring countries will feel worried that they may be next. so it is understandable and i think if you are one of those countries whose history has been as involved in the occupation by russia involved in the occupation by russia in the past as well, you will be acutely concerned on that. so i understand where he's coming from entirely and i think it is in the interests of everyone in europe and more broadly that putin is defeated in ukraine. �* , more broadly that putin is defeated in ukraine. 3 more broadly that putin is defeated in ukraine. �*, ., in ukraine. let's look at the numbers- — in ukraine. let's look at the numbers. in _ in ukraine. let's look at the numbers. in the _ in ukraine. let's look at the numbers. in the uk - in ukraine. let's look at the - numbers. in the uk specifically, that 4% of gdp in poland spent on defence, clearly not here in the uk, what is your instinct about how much
9:33 pm
that defence spending will have to rise and how much will it actually? 0bviously rise and how much will it actually? obviously the uk has a lot of concerns at the moment in terms of the nhs where we have massive backlogs in terms of education where the people funding has gone down in recent years, slightly going up recently but still down overall. there are a range of other concerns as well. so defence spending does not necessarily need to go up across europe as a whole, but what it does need is greater coordination. what you have is a lot of duplication of effort and that means gaps in capability and also a lack of coordination and of course, if you do have a trump presidency, and he withdraws more from nato and intervention within europe as well, you will see your path to take on more of that responsibility itself. to do that it will have to co—ordinate more. the countries of europe spent quite a lot on defence, it isjust it europe spent quite a lot on defence, it is just it is not coordinated and we do not look at each other�*s capabilities and think, who does
9:34 pm
what in those situations. so it may be a bringing together a coordinating role more than extra defence spending, per se. coordinating role more than extra defence spending, perse. 0f coordinating role more than extra defence spending, per se. of course if you are a country that borders russia or borders were russia may think its boundaries should be, you will perhaps be more concerned and that may be more of a pressure. that is not honestly apply to uk.— is not honestly apply to uk. thank ou for is not honestly apply to uk. thank you for that _ is not honestly apply to uk. thank you for that. the _ is not honestly apply to uk. thank you for that. the israel _ is not honestly apply to uk. thank you for that. the israel prime - you for that. the israel prime minister netanyahu has agreed to injerusalem, where tension — and worse — are normal, there is always the consolation of religion. this ramadan, many of those ending a day of prayer at the aqsa mosque were palestinian israelis, around a fifth of israel's population. israel, citing security, restricts access to jerusalem for palestinians from the occupied west bank. just down the road, palestinian christians were deep in their celebration of easter, walking to the old city from the garden of gethsemane, where they believejesus prayed on the night before
9:35 pm
he was crucified. but in this city, sacred for christians, jews and muslims, religion and politics always mix. all the palestinian people are suffering today. they are suffering from occupation, they are suffering from apartheid, they are suffering from genocide. and today, what we are praying is to stop this disaster situation here in the land of peace and the land of palestine. and we pray that, asjesus went to the golgotha, to the calvary, walking with a cross, but after that, there was the resurrection, so we are praying to have our own resurrection today, and the resurrection of our land. religion and conflict pervadejerusalem, and six months of war in gaza have deepened every division. this is the essence ofjerusalem — religion, faith and the passion it can generate. but in this city, religion has been linked inextricably with power and with identity for centuries, for millennia. and in more recent times, with the long conflict between palestinians and israelis.
9:36 pm
since october, reinforced and highly visible israeli security has imposed an uneasy quiet on the occupied eastern side ofjerusalem. the good friday procession along via dolorosa, where christians believejesus carried his cross, was smaller than usual without foreign pilgrims who cancelled their trips because of the war. the people ofjerusalem of all faiths are locked in a crisis as bad as any since israel's independence war in 1948. religion offers certainty and answers, but in this holy city, prayers and peace plans have not put a dent in this immutable conflict. jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem.
9:37 pm
former us president donald trump famously loves his golf. just last week he was celebrating his victories at the trump international golf club. the club championship trophy and the senior club championship trophy — he won both, of course. in 2006 — when he unveiled plans to transform a stretch of sand dunes north of aberdeen, in scotland it into what he promised would be the world's greatest golf course — there was excitement. the plans were backed by a big portion the local business community — with promises of investment, and major golf championships. mr trump said he would spend £1 billion on the scheme — but this did not happen. none of the thousands of newjobs promised, a small number of the jobs promised have materialised so far. the golf resort has yet to turn a profit,
9:38 pm
racking up {13.3 million in losses since it opened. now — one of the project's consultant director for the trump 0rganisation says he feels �*hoodwinked' and ashamed. neil hobday, has spoken to "trumped", a new bbc sounds podcast which revisits the controversy surrounding the approval for the trump international golf links course. he reflected on the moment he realised donald trump didn't have the finances. take a listen. he wanted the golf course and that was it. and he was willing to fight the environmental battle and create this impression that this was $1,000,000,000 project and scotland absolutely needed it. but i think he never really had the money or the intention of finishing it. and i feel very hoodwinked and ashamed that i fell for it and scotland fell for it and the government, we all fell for it. he was never going to do it. let's bring in our panel.
9:39 pm
and gunner ramer. a bit of anger certainly by some in that community in scotland that that promised investment has not come, but there are circumstances such as covid, and the unpredictable nature of business in projects like this more generally, where do you stand? i would say that all of this is just another— i would say that all of this is just another example of who donald trump is, all_ another example of who donald trump is, all he _ another example of who donald trump is, all he cares about is being in it for— is, all he cares about is being in it for himself. the thing is he has played _ it for himself. the thing is he has played a — it for himself. the thing is he has played a major trick with republican primary— played a major trick with republican primary voters. he says it all the lime _ primary voters. he says it all the time he — primary voters. he says it all the time. he says, they are not coming after_ time. he says, they are not coming after me. _ time. he says, they are not coming after me, they are coming after you. the everyday average republican primary— the everyday average republican primary voter. that plays with the base _ primary voter. that plays with the base it _ primary voter. that plays with the base it is — primary voter. that plays with the base. it is this tapping into the active — base. it is this tapping into the active hood grievance policies that animales — active hood grievance policies that animates them so all these people have llee“— animates them so all these people have been tricked. to tell you the truth, _ have been tricked. to tell you the truth, donald trump is a total and

welcome back. chinese e—retailer temu has been forced to u—turn on a cash giveaway offer — after concerns were raised over use of customer data. temu is an online marketplace — it offers buyers a wide range of goods and heavily discounted prices — from clothes, to toys, to household items. users sign up to purchase —either online, or via an app. it launched in the us in 2022,
9:44 pm
and the uk last year. its popularity has skyrocketed — but it has faced criticism of production practises. a promotion by the online retailer — which promised shoppers up to £50 — went viral online. but it faced growing criticism after questions were raised about the terms and condtions — in particular, the considerable amount of personal data participants were asked to hand over. ijust want to give you a sense of how detailed this is. by taking part, users would allow the company to... "use and publish member's photo, name, likeness, voice, opinion, statements, biographical information, and/or hometown and state for promotional or advertising purposes in any media worldwide, now known or hereby developed, in perpetuity without further review, notification, payment or consideration." and that is just one section of the terms and conditions. previously, temu had said these were "standard terms and conditions". but now it says it has
9:45 pm
"tweaked" those terms because they were "overly broad". i spoke earlier to professor awais rashid. he is a professor of cyber security at the university of bristol. i aksed him if there's anything we can do when it comes to this type of data collection. i think the big challenges of course, the data drives the digital economy. of course we utilise it for all sorts of good purposes as well, but we really need to ask the question to ask the question as to the information we are giving, is a really essential for the service to be provided to us and equally, it is the responsibility of the service providers to not actually ask for more information than is essential. of course you can have regulatory safeguards regulatory safeguards are this as well, but the question has to be asked, do these privacy policies and terms and conditions need to be so big, so broad? should be really be giving away
9:46 pm
lots of information for getting a service that that necessarily require all of that. the thing i would say is any time such an offer happens, if it's too good to be true it likely is. now it's time for the panel... the but this is the part of the show where our panel is good to talk about whatever they want to talk about whatever they want to talk about within reason. kick us off, andrew. ma; about within reason. kick us off, andrew. y , ., , about within reason. kick us off, andrew. g , ., , , about within reason. kick us off, andrew. g , .,y about within reason. kick us off, andrew. g , ., , , ., ., andrew. my story is about uk air workers and _ andrew. my story is about uk air workers and to _ andrew. my story is about uk air workers and to the _ andrew. my story is about uk air workers and to the new - andrew. my story is about uk air workers and to the new visa - workers and to the new visa requirements that mean we may actually deter the people we need to come to hear. this is a story in the i paper today by a zimbabwe journalist who is written about this. we have a shortage of 165,000 care workers in the uk. we need more people to come here to look after elderly and disabled people, it is a very low paid job and since march, the government has decided that if
9:47 pm
you come here and travel thousands of miles across the world perhaps, you will not be allowed to bring dependents. this article talks about the specific case of the zimbabwe care worker who has gone through police checks in zimbabwe, learned english and passed an english—language test to be able to come to this country and in that period, having spent thousands of pounds doing this, has not been told actually, they will not be able to bring their 14—month—old son or their partner with them when they come. to the job they have been offered. so this is actually deterring people from coming here who we need to look after our people. since the shooting ourselves in the foot. to expect people to travel thousands of miles to uproot themselves and move house, leave theirfamily themselves and move house, leave their family behind themselves and move house, leave theirfamily behind now themselves and move house, leave their family behind now as well, to look after our people that we are not looking after sufficiently i think is a huge ask. and massively counterproductive. i think the government will have to really look

9:51 pm
with the final month of the season about to start. the championship promotion race is entering its crucial stage. and tonight there are new leaders. leeds started the day top, but dropped points with a 2—2 draw at watford. just going into injury time. crysencio summerville put them level at 1—1. but it wasn't long before emmanuel dennis had given watford their second lead of the game in front of the watching sir eltonjohn. mateojoseph's late goal gave leeds a point, but it's not enough to keep them in first place. earlier today ipswich went top with a 1—nil win at blackburn. conor chaplin with the goal that takes his team closer to a second successive promotion. blackburn had two goals ruled out, as ipswich win for an eighth time in nine games.
9:52 pm
they are two points clear at the top. while leicester's poor form continues. they were runaway league leaders earlier in the season. but their 1—nil defeat at bristol city it's just one win in six. it was their first game since being charged with a breach of financial rules from when they were in the permier leauge. and they're now third. xabi alonso says he is going to stay at bayer leverkusen next season. he's arguably the most wanted coach in football with leverkusen unbeaten in all competitions this season, heading for the bundelsiga title and also still in contention for the german cup and europa league. liverpool were one of the clubs linked to alonso as they seek to replace the departing jurgen klopp at the end of the season. i had a similar situation and pretty much the same, if you want. i had a similar situation and did pretty much the same, if you want. and i never regretted it. so that is pretty much everything i can say, he is doing an incredible job there.
9:53 pm
leverkusen has a good team, probably will keep the team together i think, that is possible this year as well so it is not every year is like that. so i understand that he wants to do that. the former wales rugby wing louis rees—zammit has signed for the super bowl champions the kansas city chiefs onlyjust over two months since changing sports. rees—zammit has been part of the nfl�*s international player pathway. and while the odds that he'll be lining up alongside the likes of patrick mahomes and travis kelce in an actual nfl game remain slim, he now has a chance to compete at the chiefs' training camp to try and make the team's 53—man regular season roster. it's an opportunity for him to learn and then you go away, come back in training camp in latejuly, that will be the hardest thing that he will be the hardest thing that he will have to go through because the hours, the time, the stress on your body, there is a lot coming for this young man. but if he has the mindset
9:54 pm
that he sounds like he has and the will to learn and be curious, then he will be all right. in rugby unions premiership northmapton saints beat saracens 41—30. 0wen farrell scored 2 penalties and 2 conversions for sarries but it was his mistake that let in 0llie sleightholme for the crucial try of the match. the result extends saints lead to sevent points over saracens at the top of the table. leicester are holding on to a slender second half advantage as they lead bottom of the table newcastle19—13 — the game is now in to the 100th minute of play. 0llie hassell—collins has added to two first half tries for the visitors and looks to have secured victory for leicester but that game still ongoing. it has only nowjust finished. it looks to have secured the victory, in fact the whistle has just gone and it is a wind for leicester. in the united rugby championship dragons beat italian side zebre by 20 points to 13 at rodney parade.
9:55 pm
jared rosser scored the pick of the welsh team's three tries, running all the way from his own 22 metre line. the win moves them off the bottom of the table. in the night's other match leinster beat bulls. st helens have gone top of the super league after two late tries saw them beat wigan warriors 12 points to 4, ending the defending champions' run of 15 straight wins. wigan were narrowly in front on the hour mark when liam byrne was shown a straight red card for a high tackle. saints took full advantage of their extra man with tries from tommy makinson and konrad hurrell turning the game around in the final ten minutes. wigan are third — two points off st helens. elsewhere — six first half tries helped hull kr to a 34—10 victory against rivals hull fc. joe burgess crossed twice as the home side held a 28 point lead at the break. kelepi tanginoa added rovers' final score to lift them up to fifth, but the pressure remains on tony smith as hull remain tenth with one win from their first six games.

jannik sinner needed only 69 minutes to breeze past defending champion daniil medvedev and book a place in the miami 0pen final. sinner needed five sets to beat medvedev in the australian open final back injanuary but this was far more straightforward with the italian running away with a 6—1 6—2 victory. sinner will face either grigor dimitrov or alexander zverev in the final on sunday. some late supporting action going on, lead us the plane, leicester have one. had to our website for all the details. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. the easter weekend will settle down a little — perhaps music to your ears, in comparison to the last few days. yes, there will be more sunshine around and fewer showers — and as a result, it will be a little warmer.
9:57 pm
but there's more rain to come for some of us by easter monday. fore on that in just a moment — gor the moment, though, the low pressure is drifting its way westwards, the isobars are opening out. so saturday will be a quieter, less windy day for all of us. maybe a little more cloud across east anglia and that kent coast, and a few isolated showers out to the west — most frequent showers perhaps to northern ireland and scotland — but even so, few and far between in comparison to recent days. 11—15 celsius, with a little more sunshine coming through — that should feel quite pleasant. now, with those clear skies by day continuing through the night, though, temperatures are likely to fall away for some — the exception down to the south—west, where we could continue to see some showers pushing up through the channel isles and across cornwall. but low single figures, a touch of frost is likely through scotland and north—east england, and even some patchy fog. it's worth bearing in mind, as well, that we are springing into british summertime on sunday. yes, we all lose an hour, but the clocks go forward and the daytimes get a little longer. so, sunday morning, then, the fog will lift quite readily away. a lot of dry settled weather for most of us on sunday. that rain down towards the southwest
9:58 pm
could still be a bit of a nuisance here, and temperatures generally between 10—14 celsius once again. now, as we move out of sunday into monday is when we start to see the potential for another spell of wet weather, as the low drifts its way eastwards once again and bring some rain for england and wales. not looking too bad — the best of the sunshine, perhaps through northern ireland and western scotland. more cloud coming in off the north sea, and the rain will be quite showery from time to time across england and wales. but, as a result of the change of wind direction, here a little cooler on those exposed east coast — 9—10 celsius, perhaps highest values of 12 celsius. and then, as we move out of monday into tuesday, low pressure is set to dominate the weather story — you can see the next system waiting in the wings. and so, as we go through the week ahead, we'll see some showers or longer spells of rain from time to time.
