James anderson getting gill. Hes nowjust one away from a landmark 700th test wicket. There was also a half century from debutant devdutt padikkal. There are always going to be thoughts in your head and noises around so that was still there. I got igota i got a message saying that there was a possibility that the next night. I was nervous about that game. It was a tough night of sleep, but that is how it is, and that is something you also enjoy at the same time, you look for those days, so i was really happy. Well, england captain ben stokes bowled for the first time in eight months and took the wicket of rohit sharma with his first ball. He isa he is a freak, isnt he it was almost written in the star that he was going to bowl it, when he bowled out sharma. We all know how he can round out our takeout, especially in conditions like these where youve got usually two spinners, two seamers and you want your third as stokes. A nice to see him back at the crease, which is to be careful that we dont push him too far. Its still early days, and im sure hell rest up tonight, get some ice on it and see how it goes tomorrow.

Appeal against the verdict, in that case, which a jury reached in january, he had to first convert the amounts, the full awards, plus an extra 10 . That is how you come to that figure of 91. 6 million. Donald trump had until monday to either begin that appeal process, and posted that bond, or he would have had to have pay Ejean Carroll that full amounts. Had to have pay Ejean Carroll that fullamounts. He had to have pay Ejean Carroll that full amounts. He has now done that. He has secured a bond for that amount, he has done the appeal process. Began the appeal process. Began the appeal process. This starts the process that donald trump is going to be going through now, paying out very large sums of money for the judgments against him. Remember, he has another civilfraud judgments against him. Remember, he has another Civil Fraud Case that is connected to his business empire, and there, he owns owes more than 400 million. We saw in the Ejean Carroll case was that he tried to delay having to pay. The judge refused that and we know that in the Civil Fraud Case, refused that and we know that in the civilfraud case, he is also trying to delay having to pay, but nevertheless, donald trump has secured the money, he has said that he has no problem paying these financially, but his finances have always been a bit of a tricky picture to understand fully. Nevertheless, here in new york, paying that first a large summer. I said this legacy that he said to fox news earlier this week, im not worried, i have a lot of money. Yes. Worried, i have a lot of money. Yes, that is right worried, i have a lot of money. Yes, that is right i worried, i have a lot of money. Yes, that is right. I think worried, i have a lot of money. Yes, that is right. I think these that is right. I think these payments will certainly see if that is indeed the case. Donald trump appeared to have about 400 million in cash on hand that he could use to pat in cash on hand that he could use to pay. We have seen him using donor money to pay legal bills, but now between the two judgments, you are looking at more than half 1 billion that he is having to pay out. We have seen him doing bonds, but even doing that requires posting a lot of collateral, have a lot of money to get those bonds. So we will indeed see how far this will stretch mr trump. Some are saying that the worst Case Scenario for him it would be for him to have to sell assets to pay these judgments. A report has found that a british army Spy Operating at the heart of the ira during the troubles in Northern Ireland probably cost more lives than he saved. 0peration Kenova took seven years to examine the activities of the agent known as stakeknife, who was belfast man freddie scappaticci. The investigation cost nearly £40 million, and the intelligence asset has been linked to multiple murders. Sara girvin reports. Dont take any more photos of this house, im telling you now because if you do, ill come out and ill do you this is freddie scappaticci. His double life personified the so called dirty war between the ira and the British State during the troubles in Northern Ireland. He was the iras chief interrogator, tasked with identifying informers inside the group. That role that saw him linked to numerous murders. But, incredibly, he himself was a british agent, codename stakeknife. Findings from an interim report into his actions were revealed today. Claims that he was responsible for saving countless or hundreds of lives are hugely exaggerated. Most importantly, these claims belie the fact that stakeknife was himself involved in very serious and wholly unjustifiable criminality whilst operating as an agent including murders. 32 people were considered for prosecution in connection with the agent stakeknife case, but no charges have been brought due to whats described as insufficient evidence. That decision has caused frustration. Freddie scappaticci should have been prosecuted for offences, and he was not prosecuted. And in my view, that is something that for other victims, certain victims, will be regretful about. Todays report had ten recommendations. Two called for apologies to be made, from the government for failing to stop preventable deaths and from the Republican Leadership for the iras abduction, torture and murder of those it suspected of being informers. Sinn fein was the political wing of the ira throughout the troubles. I am sorry for all the lives lost during the conflict, without exception. Regrettably, the past cannot be changed or cannot be undone. Neither can the suffering, the hurt or the Political Violence or conflict be disowned by republicans or indeed by any other party to the conflict. The Northern Ireland secretary, chris heaton harris, said it wouldnt be right for the government to comment at this time. Families whose loved ones were murdered by the ira because they were suspected informers didnt want to appear on camera. A Solicitor Acting for several of them explained why. The stigma for the tout or informant runs very deep in irish history. That stigma extends to the next of kin and the next generation. Indeed, if proof were needed of that, we need only look around this room today. There arent any families. Questions around State Involvement in troubles deaths have haunted the government for decades. 0peration Kenova investigated one of the murkiest periods of time in Northern Irelands history, that it is a time that may never truly see the light. Sara girvin, bbc news. Germany has faced uncomfortable questions this week after a Security Lapse allowed a Top Secret Military discussion to be intercepted, then made public by russian state media. Officers from the German Air Force were heard talking about weapons aid to ukraine, and the conversation also included sensitive details about uk military activities. Our analysis editor ros atkins explains. The uks Foreign Secretary and germanys Foreign Minister met in berlin on thursday, and at their press conference, one subject was certain to come up. I dont want to play into the hands of some russian narrative about divisions between allies. Translation we will not allow anyone to drive a wedge between us. Were talking a hybrid war here. Journalists were asking about a recording of a conversation between German Military officials that russian sources had leaked days before. In the leak, we hear a discussion of the war in ukraine, in particular about the implications if germany were to send its long range Taurus Missiles to ukraine, something chancellor 0laf scholz has ruled out. And one word has been used a lot to describe the leak. Well, i think it is absolutely embarrassing that military. Top officials wouldnt follow the procedures in order to conduct such calls. And its notjust embarrassing. It raises questions about the wests strategy in ukraine and about the reach of russian intelligence. And this leaked conversation involved four senior figures in germanys air force. One of them was attending singapores airshow. He dialled into the meeting from a hotel there. This proved to be a miscalculation. Germanys Defence Minister has highlighted how eavesdropping of hotels is widespread, and germanys ambassador to the uk has offered this advice. I think thats a good lesson for everybody. Never use Hotel Internet if you want to do a secure call. Germanys air force may be learning that lesson the hard way. And the reason they were discussing these Taurus Missiles is that while germany has so far declined to send them, ukraine has repeatedly made the request. Translation we need longrange weapons because russians stand. At a distance that allows them to strike our people while we cannot reply appropriately. Its true that russias missiles can go further. At the moment, ukraine has british and french missiles, both with a range of around 150 miles. Germanys Taurus Missile has a range of around 300 miles. It would give ukraine many more options, but 0laf scholz fears this will escalate the war and that ukraine will need german personnel to help operate the missiles. This leaked conversation discusses all of this and makes reference to the uk already having forces in ukraine. This we already knew, because in february, Downing Street confirmed a small number of personnel are in ukraine, though it didnt say what theyre doing. And while reaction to the leak has continued, the kremlin has shared its thoughts on it. This suggests that within| germanys armed forces, plans for striking the territory of the Russian Federation are being discussed substantively and specifically. Theres nothing in the leak that suggests this. Germany has called russias claim absurd and offered this assessment. This is a russian hybrid attack again. Its clearly the intention to destabilise the west, and it was not a coincidence that this recording was published the day of navalny� s funeral. If that is the intention, none of germanys allies have been critical, not in public at least. But the uks former defence secretary, ben wallace, has concerns. He was in government during the majority of this war, and hes told the times. The german ambassador to the uk called those comments unhelpful. And while ukraines allies seek to offer a united front, they know that decisions about how to support ukraine are crucial, not least because right now for ukraine, at best, the war is stuck. At worst, russia is getting the upper hand. Last month, ukraine withdrew from the key town of avdiivka. It says it needs ammunition and weapons. Now, since the war began, germany has provided more military aid than any other country bar the us, and throughout the conflict, like ukraines other allies, germanys had to decide what kind of Military Hardware it will provide. Russia will want to influence these kind of decisions. The leaked german conversation may be part of an effort to do that. The manner in which its been exploited by the russians is an indication of russias attempts to divide western support for ukraine and to intimidate the west, to play on the wests fears of escalation. This leak is another example of that tactic in practice. What the leak certainly confirms is that the west continues to grapple with the best route forward in this war.

Officials in australia say the Great Barrier reef is undergoing another Mass Bleaching Event. Sea temperatures have approached Record Levels in recent weeks, putting coral under greater stress. It is the fifth such event in eight years. There have been similar reports at reefs around the world as Sea Temperatures are raised by climate change. We see a lot of these reefs bleached and, you know, they are potentially going to. Also, the corals might die and then were going to have to follow them through several years of recovery. Yeah, itsjust really quite heartbreaking. To hear more about the Science BehindMass Bleachings and the potential for reef recovery, we speak now to Professor Emeritus of environment and sustainability at the university at buffalo, howard lasker. Hello. Can you just explain exactly what this is, eight Mass Bleaching Event . What happens when these occur . Corals live in symbiosis with microscopic algae, and those algae provide them with nutrition, the coral actually provides nutrition to the algae as well. As waters heat up, for that matter, any stress that occurs, that symbiosis breaks down, the algae stock photo synthesising, effectively photo synthesising effectively, and they are not transferring the nutrients to the coral, so they are expelled from the coral. Lots of what you see on the coral, when you study them, on the coral, when you study them, on the coral reefs, is due to that algae, when they are expelled, therefore, the tissue is cleared, and what you are seeing is the white skeleton underneath the living tissue. In these events, it has been at once these events, it has been at once the water starts hitting above 29, 30 celsius, these Bleaching Events occur. � ,. , 30 celsius, these Bleaching Events occur. ï¿
