The game, and i dont think given the game, and i dont think given the lateness of the call on friday and given how many officials they have two slot into games, im not sure that request even if it had come, could have been accommodated. The Football Association is investigating Nottingham Forests comments, i can tell you that Nottingham Forest have submitted a formal request to release into the Public Domain the Audio Recordings between officials during that match. We will keep you across this developing story. In a salon we have been told. In the last hour. Barcelona say they could consider legal action and request their la liga match against real madrid to be replayed if its confirmed their disallowed goal in sundays defeat should have stood. Theyve asked the Technical Refereeing Committee at the Spanish Football Federation to investigate. Jude bellingham scored a stoppage time winner as real twice came from behind to Win El Classico 3 2 and go 11 points clear at the top of the table with six games to go. But barcelona manager xavi was furious his side had a goal disallowed because var officals said they couldnt prove that lamine yamal� s effort had crossed the line. Yesterday, you also asked me about the referee, i told you that i wanted them to be unnoticed and make the right decisions, he failed on both. It is a pity. My feeling is that today has been unfair and everybody has seen it, the match has been unfair, that is my feeling and i cannot lie, especially to our fans. Today it has been unfair and everybody has seen what happened today.

Lets get more now on our top story from new york where a court is Hearing Opening Arguments in Donald Trumps Hush Money Trial. The former us president faces 3a counts of Business Fraud in a scheme to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels to make sure an account of his alleged extramarital sexual encounter with her did not get published on the eve of the 2016 president ial election. A stills photographer is allowed in the court, these are the pictures. Live pictures from new york, these are live positions in the courthouse itself but there are now live cameras in the courtroom itself. This Corridor Area is when donald trump enters and leaves court each day and usually speaks to the press, we heard from him earlier. That is likely only have them still photos of donald trump in court. This break ijust want to of donald trump in court. This break i just want to be new one of donald trump in court. This break ijust want to be new one line of donald trump in court. This break i just want to be new one line from our reporter inside this, this is a direct quote of the prosecution, manhattan district attorneys of his addressing the jury, manhattan district attorneys of his addressing thejury, presenting their case right now. This case is about a criminal conspiracy and cover up. The defendant donald trump orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 president ial election then he covered up that criminal conspiracy by lying in his new York Business records over and over and over again. That is the nub of the prosecutions case that the jury of the prosecutions case that the jury is hearing for the first time. Lets get some more now on some of those were expecting to see in the courtroom. Meghan owen reports. Obviously, donald trump himself is at the heart of the trial but there are a number of key players, described as a bit of a hollywood blockbuster cast. So lets take a look. First of all we have justicejuan merchan. Now he is a seasoned new york judge who also proceeded over the trump organisations tax fraud case. Next we have alvin bragg. He is the prosecutor, he inherited the trump investigation when he took office in 2021. And his former colleague, todd blanche, who is trumps top trial lawyer. Interestingly, he is a former registered democrat before he became a republican and took on the biggest client of his life. It has not been easy to find a jury. In fact, the court has had to whittle it down from hundreds of people to just 12 jurors. Their identities will remain anonymous due to Security Concerns but we do know there are five women and seven men. Now for the witnesses. Of course, at the heart of the trial we have Stormy Daniels, the adult film star, who alleges that she received a Hush Money Payment from Michael Cohen, a lawyer for the trump organisation, just before the 2016 election to keep silent about her claimed affair with donald trump. And this is Michael Cohen. He is the fixer, he pleaded guilty to making the Hush Money Payment to Stormy Daniels in 2018 but says that trump directed him to send that money. Next we have karen mcdougal, who is also expected to be a witness. She claims to have had a previous illicit affair with mr trump and also says she was paid hush money by American Media incorporated, which is the Parent Company of the national enquirer, for his story, forcing her to keep quiet. Which brings me finally to david pecker. He was the then chairman and ceo of that tabloid and part of a catch and kill scheme to support Donald Trumps 2016 president ial run. So essentially what he would do is buy the rights to stories that made donald trump look bad, he would then refuse to publish them to suppress damaging information. And he is expected to be the first witness called after the opening arguments. Lets speak to nikki beaver, National Political director of the National Federation of republican women. Shes in alexandria, virginia. What impact do you think this trial is having on the upcoming election . It is having a huge impact and it is having the opposite impact the democrats intended for it to have.

It is even getting people who are not going to book for him in the beginning because they see that this is just all politics, all the beginning because they see that this isjust all politics, all smoke and mirrors, a witchhunt. Most of the charges they are bringing against him are well outside of the statute of limitations. They happened years ago, long before he was president and he was a civilian. It would be nice to say that the other side is clean and they havent broken any laws, but this is the same group that spied on trump illegally during his 2016 campaign and they arejust illegally during his 2016 campaign and they are just grasping at straws. They are trying to do everything they can because they know that the bag and administration has run our country into the ground and there is no winning on the ballot box in November 2024 unless they think they can try to get trump on criminal charges, but i dont believe any of those will stick and i dont think thatll hit him on the ballot box. , ~ i dont think thatll hit him on the ballot box the close relationship to politics and the judicial, the close relationship to politics and thejudicial, there the close relationship to politics and the judicial, there are lines started to come out as the prosecution is laying out its case in front of the jury and donald trump right now. When we get more, we will be back in new york. The Metropolitan Police are facing pressure over their handling of pro palestinian demonstrations in london. The met has twice had to apologise after an officer described the head of the campaign against Anti Semitism as openly jewish when he was at a pro palestinian protest, saying his presence was antagonising demonstrators. Jewish groups have been meeting the Metropolitian Police commissioner today. Our correspondent lucy manning explains the background to this incident. This was a video that surfaced over the last few days from one of the pro palestinian demonstrations that have been held fairly frequently in the centre of london, and the Chief Executive of a campaign group, the campaign against Anti Semitism, a man called gideon falter was seen with a kippah, ajewish head covering, being stopped by the police crossing the road. And in some of that video, hes told by the police, you cant cross because you are overtlyjewish. And there is some more footage where the officer does offer to escort him to a safer place, but then also does say to him, you know, youre under threat of arrest if you dont do that. And lots of people saw that footage, were shocked by it. The campaign against Anti Semitism and the former home secretary, suella braverman, said that the met police commissioner, sir mark rowley, should resign over this. And today we have had members of groups representing thejewish Community Going to meet with the police commissioner, not the campaign against Anti Semitism, but other groups from the jewish community. They got out of that meeting this morning. They said it was a positive meeting, that the met had reiterated its apology. The met had to apologise twice over the weekend, once for its first apology and then again for its. Apologise for its apologies. So today weve had some more apologies from the met to Thejewish Community groups. They said that the met promised that it would pay more attention to the concerns of Thejewish Community, to be more culturally sensitive, to take on the advice of senior jewish officers. And thosejewish communal groups have asked the police and the government to consider reducing the number of demonstrations and to move them to other locations because they feel sometimes thatjewish people are intimidated and have to stay out of the city centre because of those demonstrations. We can now speak to dal babu, former Metropolitan Police chief superintendent. I want to talk about two separate but interrelated issues. This specific incident that lucy walked us through and the wider handling of demonstrations, we will come to those in a moment. 0n demonstrations, we will come to those in a moment. On this specific incident, what is your assessment . The language the Police Officer used was wrong and not acceptable, and the police have apologised for that, it was about somebody looking to jewish. There is a wider issue, that if you look at the full tip of 13 minutes that has been released by sky tv, you have a different understanding of what happened as opposed to the clip that has been referred to. The clip that has been used by them. In the wider clip you have Police Officers offering to work with him to go to any place, he is not there alone, he is with a large group, they are filming the encounter and they want to walk across the march at a particular point. They are being guided to a Crossing Point which he refuses to go to. He pushes past a Police Officer, i think he was very fortunate not to be arrested. So there is a different context to the small clip that has been released, and this is beholden on Media Organisations not to just follow Social Media Clips back to scrutinise and go behind the story. And so there is an understanding that that wider, longer clip gives you the impression that there are slightly, normal circumstances when people can go where they want, but when t
