Police say they do not believe it was terrorism related. Four others were injured, including two Police Officers. Really disturbing details in todays incidents, telus what happened . Disturbing details, and youve seen some of those images shared over what happened. We understand police were called around 7pm this 7am this morning, about a car being driven into a house. We are told that 22 minutes later, police were on the scene and had made an arrest, but in that time, it is understood a man was wielding a sword, had been in the area behind me and had struck five people including a 14 year old boy, who sadly later died in hospital two of those people were Police Officers, we understand that surgery but thats not said to be life threatening, and two other members of the public. I spoke to a local resident here who said he described seeing a man with a big gash in his neck. As i say, you talk about door bell footage and other footage circulating on social media, shocking scenes, and in that short period of time ofjust 22 minutes this morning. There have been updates throughout the day and in the last hour or so, the police gave an update that a 36 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. He himself was injured and is in hospital, and police have not been able to interview him, but they have said there has been no trace of any previous or prior incidents with that man as far as theyre concerned yet, but they say its a complex investigation. We can hearfrom yet, but they say its a complex investigation. We can hear from the Assistant Commissioner right now. Our thoughts of course remain with the family and friends of the 14 year old boy who very sadly died here this morning. We will be there to provide every possible support to them, and ensure we get them the answers they need. We are also thinking of the two members of the public who were injured, as well as brave officers were stabbed during this incident. The 36 year old man arrested at the scene is currently in hospital having suffered injuries when his van collided with the building. He has been arrested on suspicion of murder. At this time, given his injuries, we have been unable to interview him. We know there is speculation about his background, including Police Contact with them. Despite urgent and extensive checks today, we have had no trace of prior incident involving him so far, but we are continuing to make those inquiries. Ellie, as you are saying, as we just heard, the police saying there have been no previous contact, but they continue to actually go through records and establish that 100 .

There is an appeal for shared with the police. There is an appealfor anyone shared with the police. There is an appeal for anyone who has something to share not to share to social media, and to risk any sort of assumptions being made, but to share it with the police because the suggestion is its a compex investigation, and exactly whats happened is as yet iced unascertained, and the crucial question as to why. But the police said in that statement to playjust now, it is the Police Hisjob and they will get answers for the family. They will get answers for the famil. � ,. ,. , family.

Thejudge in Donald Trumps Hush Money Trial has ruled the former president has violated a gag order and found him in contempt of court. Hes fined a total of 9000 , for nine breaches.

Thats absolutely right. The judge really absolutely right. Thejudge really rejected the Defence Argument that Donald Trumps post on social media and his Campaign Website where a response to political attacks coming his way. The judge found that only one incidents, there was a tenuous correlation, as he put it, to the words of Michael Cohen, the key witness in this case, but otherwise he sided with the prosecution and note donald trump has onto the close of business on friday to pay that fine, and he has until this afternoon to take down those offending posts. Thejudge acknowledged that donald trump is a wealthy man, and so the maximum penalty under law, 1000 per violation, it may not be enough to persuade them to stop. And the judge said he would considerjail as an necessary punishment if donald trump continues on this course. fix, necessary punishment if donald trump continues on this course.

We are ticking through witnesses understand today, matthew, the main one was gary farrow, a former banker who worked with Michael Cohen when Michael Cohen set p Michael Cohen when Michael Cohen set up a Shell Company that transferred money to stormy danielss lawyer, the hush payment that is at the centre of the case. That banker said that he would have asked more questions if he knew that account wasnt being set up for Real Estate Consulting but instead was made to help a president ial candidate, and for money to go to an adult film star. So, he really laid out the fact that he put the onus on michael going there to be honest with the bank. We had a few witnesses because of the prosecution to introduce evidence, we saw donald trump at rallies denying that he knew any of the women who had made claims of affairs or inappropriate touching against them, such as stormy daniels, and they aired a clip where he called Michael Cohen a great and talented your lawyer and a friend of his. ~ talented your lawyer and a friend of his. , ~ ,. ,. ,. , talented your lawyer and a friend of his. , ~. ,. ,. , ~ to The Middle East where hamas leaders, are considering a new ceasefire Proposalfrom Israel. The deal includes a 40 day truce, in return for the release of some hostages. It would also allow for displaced families to return to northern gaza. Its also reported to involve, new wording on restoring calm to gaza, designed to satisfy hamass demand for a permanent ceasefire. A source close to the talks, told the bbc, the new Proposalfrom Israel is significantly different from previous offers. Benjamin netanyahu says, israel will carry out an operation in rafah regardless of whether a Ceasefire Deal is reached with hamas in gaza. He made the comments, during a meeting with the families of hostages, where he reiterated that israel would eliminate hama, that israel would eliminate hamas, and achieve total victory. A large protest was held in tel aviv Last Night Calling for the hostages to be released. Large fires were lit, with demonstrators clashing with police. Moshe emmelio lavi spoke to us earlier. His Brother In Law is held hostage by hamas in gaza, he gave us his thoughts on the new possiblities of a ceasefire agreement. It is difficult, but its important for us, the families, to have a voice. And whoever can echo that voices is going on television worldwide. We are trying to be as hopeful as possible. Try not to let statements made to political basis, as done today by the Prime Minister, Prime Minister netanyahu, as done a few days ago by the Finance Minister and focused on the reports and what we receive Behind Closed Doors indications that there is a deal on the table, that israel is agreeing to that deal or at least to significant portions of that deal, and that were waiting for hamas to respond. Most likely tomorrow night after they left cairo today. And we as a family received some sort of glimmer of hope three days ago, on saturday evening, when hamas released the psychological warfare of my brother depicting my life recently. And so we hope that is we dont Pay Attention to the content, but we hope that the fact is alive and others are still alive will give the government and to other stakeholders the push to close the deal as soon as possible. I wanted to ask you about exactly what youve just touched on, because every time we have spoken over the weeks, over the months, you had heard nothing about your Brother In Law. Weve had a change in the last seven days. What was that like to actually hear that news . See that video . It was a difficult experience for our family. Im in israel right now. We normally speak when im in the us, where im based. I returned to israel to mark passover with my family. We were scattered all around, to be honest. I was on my way to the rally in tel aviv on saturday evening. My sister had a medical issue, and other members of the family were not together. But we received a notification a video came out. We run back to where my family is displaced in Southern Israel and processed the video together, processed our emotions. It was difficult to watch. 0mri doesnt look the same. The glimmer in his eyes is no longer there. The smile is gone. He looks frail and weak, but he is alive. And thats what were trying to focus on, because it gives us the hope and the motivation to continue and pushing stakeholders to close the deal. Just like my sister said yesterday in a Press Conference in tel aviv, where the hostages were. She said she called directly for a hostage deal that will guarantee both the return of the hostages home, and a ceasefire in the gaza strip. That was Moshe Emmelio Lavi talking to me earlier on todays programme. In the next two minutes, we have the latest on the columbia protests in new york, those tensions of heightened, and that is coming up here on bbc news in a moment or two. Dozens of pro palestinian protestors at new Yorks Columbia University have escalated their protest against the war in gaza by occupying a campus building. Activists broke into Hamilton Hall in the early hours of tuesday morning, barricaded themselves inside, and unfurled banners form the Buildings Balconies and windows. Columbia has urged stuents and staff to stay off campus today. Columbia has urged students and staff to stay off campus today. The university had begun to suspend students who had defied an earlier order to leave their protest camp, but this has largely been met by defiance. This latest move follows weeks of protests that have seen hundreds arrested across the country. The un human rights Chief Volker Turk has expressed concern that some of the Law Enforcement action has been disproportionate in their impact, whilst the white house says it believes for more, im joined by Claire Davenport masters student and journalist with the columbia spectator whos been covering the protests all of last night. Welcome to the programme. Start by describing what actually happened overnight and today, because i gather at some stage you were evacuated from your building, werent you .

Having me. Last night, things ramped up having me. Last night, things ramped up very quickly. It was almost eerily quiet outside, not much noise at the encampment, and then within about ten minutes, things really ramped up. The protesters put on their masks and hundreds came out to mobilise and walk over to Hamilton Hall. Chanting and marching, it was a bit after midnight and then they entered Hamilton Hall, bringing with them some gates that had been outside the encampment and also zip ties to lock the doors behind them and of the hundreds of protesters that came out, only a dozen or so, the organisers at the encampment, entered first or in the rest of the protesters formed a Human Barricade outside of the building. Locking arms, bringing tables and trash cans, different items of the steps of the hall to make it difficult for anyone to enter those were the events overnight. Anyone to enter those were the events overnight. Those are the events overnight. Those are the events overnight events overnight. Those are the events overnight and events overnight.

Those are the i events overnight and i want to put events overnight. Those are the events overnight and i want to put a live pictures at the seams outside Hamilton Hall right now. Any indication as to how long those students plan to be there, and what is been the response from the university . We saw the start of suspensions yesterday. I university . We saw the start of suspensions yesterday. University . We saw the start of suspensions yesterday. I think their lan suspensions yesterday. I think their [an is to suspensions yesterday. I think their plan is to stay suspensions yesterday. I think their plan is to stay there suspensions yesterday. I think their plan is to stay there as suspensions yesterday. I think their plan is to stay there as long suspensions yesterday. I think their plan is to stay there as long as plan is to stay there as long as they can him and they are consistent with their message and. They are planning on staying and occupying first the lawn and now this billing onto the university agrees to their demands, which is divestment from companies that profit from israel, along with amnesty for protesters who have been arrested and experienced suspensions and other forms of discipline. The university response, you know, ithink forms of discipline. The university response, you know, i think that is what we are waiting to see. Over one week ago, they brought the nypd onto campus, and i think there is a lot of questions in the air whether they will do so again the stump today, the campus has really been locked down my as you mentioned earlier today, we were told to evacuate from blitzer hall, where we studied journalism, we were later allowed to come back into the building. Right now, id holders who do not live on campus or certain Staff Members are not being allowed onto campus right now, so its a tense environment out there, but at the same time quiet right now, so really curious to see what the next few hours will bring. A final thought, its notjust happening at Columbia University but at other universities. How quickly is it spreading and in terms of responses from that different universities my it was interesting to see democrat lawmakers, some of them, demanding that the board at Columbia University sorted out or resign. Columbia university sorted out or resin. � , ,. , Columbia University sorted out or resin. � ,. ,. , resign. Theres been so much of a olitical i resign.
