Just a day old, Baby Woodley’s first cries were the same as those of children born anywhere: for food and for comfort. But as most children born there, she will grow up to find that such essentials are far from guaranteed in Haiti.Lying in an adjacent bed, Markinson Joseph was recovering from giving birth two days ago to a baby boy. Through an interpreter, she told me that she would get her baby out of the country altogether if she got the chance.”But me and my husband don’t have the money to flee,” she said.Image source, Family handoutDr Mardoche Clervil, the hospital’s obstetrician, showed us around dark and empty wards and said that the gangs’ control of the roads in and out of Port-au-Prince was making it tough to find enough fuel to keep the lights on, or the ceiling fans whirring. More importantly, it has also hampered efforts to bring in the drugs and equipment they need.He said that pregnant women had travelled from Port-au-Prince to give birth in the relative safety of Cap-Haitien.”As you can see we have enough beds and staff,” he said, motioning to the team of nurses and interns behind him. “But quite often the patients just can’t reach us, either because of their socio-economic problems or because of the violence.”For some, it has had terrible consequences.Louisemanie was eight-and-a-half months pregnant when she came into hospital. By then, she had dangerously high blood pressure and lost the baby.Preeclampsia is treatable had she been properly monitored or the baby been delivered early. Louisemanie was only too aware that her loss was avoidable.”They’ve had me on drugs since early January but I’ve transferred between three different hospitals,” she said, meaning her complicated pregnancy was ultimately left to chance.Across the country, the humanitarian need is now critical and the aid response so far has been painfully slow.The essential things of life – food, water and safe shelter – are increasingly hard to find for millions.In Port-au-Prince, Farah Oxima and her nine children were forced from their home in a violent gang-controlled neighbourhood to another part of the city. They are just some of the more than 360,000 internally displaced people in the conflict.As she filled up plastic jerry cans with water from a standpipe in the street, the 39-year-old admitted she was struggling to provide the food and water her young children needed.”I don’t know what to do, I’m watching the country collapse,” she said.To her, the idea that a transitional council can impose some form of order or security in the short-term seems completely impossible.”Only God can change this place because from where I’m sitting I can’t see where any other change is coming from.”Related TopicsHaitiPort-au-PrinceMore on this storyRunning the gauntlet to flee Haiti gang territoryPublished1 day agoTop Stories’Only God can change this place’: Haitians see no end to spiralling violencePublished16 minutes agoPutin hails Crimea annexation after claiming election winPublished38 minutes agoRwanda bill amendments overturned in Commons votePublished45 minutes agoFeaturesPredicting Putin’s landslide was easy, but what comes next?No choice for Ukrainians: More Putin means more warThe US Navy’s relentless battle against Houthi attacksThe councils fighting to stop themselves going bustChris Mason analysis: Rwanda saga won’t be over even when law is passedWhat is a heat pump and how much do they cost?High-seas drama over an ocean treasure troveHow a WhatsApp group helped save trafficked womenOne Great Britain rower’s neurodiversity journeyAttributionSportElsewhere on the BBCThe true story of the Army’s ‘golden egg’ agentThe Big Cases investigates the true story of a spy in suburbiaAttributioniPlayerA satirical look at the scheming world of PRCharles Prentiss and Martin McCabe embark on a new career as spin doctorsAttributionSoundsThe ultimate bromanceWatch the masters of satire Peter Cook and Dudley Moore with a look back through the archivesAttributioniPlayer’I will lie on my deathbed wishing I’d done more’Former spin doctor Alastair Campbell on what he’s learned from his life so farAttributionSoundsMost Read1Katie Price declared bankrupt for second time2Oldest surviving England player dies at 943Trump unable to get $464m bond in New York fraud case4Rwanda bill amendments overturned in Commons vote5Zac Goldsmith banned after speeding seven times6Putin hails Crimea annexation after claiming election win7Customers withdraw millions after cash machine glitch8’Harmless dye’ turns river ‘fluorescent green’9Mood among Tory MPs darkens as PM faces questions10More couples are saying ‘I do’ in China

Prosecutors said the attack happened hours after she posted a photo online with her new boyfriend. Thursday’s verdict outraged Ms Manno’s family, who said Sako should have been jailed for life. He began stalking Ms Manno, 23, in 2019 after he was fired from the call centre where they both worked. He began sending her messages which, despite Ms Manno begging him to stop, became increasingly desperate and obsessive.Ms Manno reported Sako to the police and was able to get an interim restraining order.However, he was not deterred and was later charged with breaching the order. The court heard that Sako cross-referenced her social media posts with Google Maps to work out where Ms Manno’s family home was.On 16 November 2020, a few hours after she posted a photo with her new boyfriend online, he drove to the address and used a hammer to smash her bedroom window.He then viciously stabbed Ms Manno to death as she was sleeping – fleeing minutes later. Her body was found by her mother shortly afterwards.Sako later drove to a police station, where he blamed law enforcement officers for her murder and asked them to shoot him.”You know what happened, it’s your fault,” he said, adding: “She’s dead, she’s dead. Go have a look.”Image source, Alamy Stock PhotoImage caption, Luay Sako will be eligible for parole when he is 65According to Australian public broadcaster ABC, there were tears in the court on Thursday when Justice Jane Dixon revealed she would not hand Sako a life sentence – the most severe legal penalty in the state of Victoria – for what she described as an “appalling crime”. Justice Dixon told the court his case did not warrant life imprisonment because the now 39-year-old had been diagnosed with an extreme personality disorder, which “caused a significant impairment” of his mental functioning at the time of the offence. The judge acknowledged that she was well aware of the “devastating impact” of the crime on Ms Manno’s family and friends – many of whom were in court for the verdict. Under the terms of his sentence, Sako will be eligible for parole in 2050.”It’s unbelievable that the court decided to show him mercy, even when he showed Celeste none.” Ms Manno’s mother, Aggie Di Mauro, said outside the Supreme Court, shortly after the sentence was handed down.She tore up a speech she had prepared to read in front of dozens of journalists had the judge handed down the life sentence. “Today’s outcome proves just how flawed the justice system is,” she said, adding that she hoped Sako’s sentence would be upgraded on appeal.

That’s the truth.”Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Indian singers Asha Bhosle and her late sister Lata Mangeshkar have collectively sung thousands of songsBollywood in recent years has become dominated by electronic music, with melodies similar to pop and mainstream dance.Shreya was raised on classics recorded from the 1960s through to the 90s, when songs were recorded with full orchestras and incorporated a blend of Western classical and traditional Indian styles.She says it’s important to her to incorporate these influences to ensure young music lovers and aspiring singers do not forget the roots of Asian music.”It is different,” she says.”Our subcontinent has a very old history of music, from classical, to folk, to our film music and it’s distinctly different with its nuances.”This is the legacy which makes this subcontinent feel so proud of their heritage.”Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Shreya says she wants to help the next generation of singers thriveShreya reflects on her rise in music, which can be charted back to the age of four – when she began learning music and classical singing with her parents.By the age of 12 she won the children’s version of reality TV singing competition Sa Re Ga Ma.Through the show she was noticed by renowned film director and music composer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who asked her to sing on the soundtrack of his 2002 blockbuster hit film Devdas. “Those days I was so nervous, I came from a small town, all I knew was to keep my eyes down and just sing,” she says.”I never thought it would catapult me to the mainstream where I am today.”‘We’re brown artists mixing Bollywood with Beyoncé’Badshah: I love being loved but fame is uncomfortableThe ‘nightingale of Bollywood’ whose voice ruled IndiaIn recent years, things have come full-circle, with Shreya herself now appearing as a talent show judge on Indian Idol.Thinking about her 22 years in the industry, she says only now is she “finally living in the moment”. “Up until a couple years ago, I was still trying to find my foothold in the industry and the kind of music I want to do,” she says.”Now I’m just trying to find my place in the industry, not just the Indian industry, but around the world.”Listen to the full interview on Beyond Bollywood with Haroon Rashid on BBC Asian Network from 11:00 on 24 February.Related TopicsBollywoodIndiaMore on this story’We’re brown artists mixing Bollywood with Beyoncé’Published7 days agoBadshah: I love being loved but fame is uncomfortablePublished25 November 2023The ‘nightingale of Bollywood’ whose voice ruled IndiaPublished6 February 2022Around the BBCBBC Asian Network – Asian Network Bollywood, Beyond Bollywood with Haroon Rashid, Shreya GhoshalTop StoriesLive. ‘You can’t destroy our dreams’ says Zelensky as war in Ukraine enters third yearTwo years into Russia’s invasion, exhausted Ukrainians refuse to give upPublished7 hours agoGaza desperately needs more aid but agencies can’t copePublished3 hours agoFeatures’King and tonic’ and potential abortion rule changeThe Creator’s Gareth Edwards on shaking up HollywoodThe ‘strange’ story of man who killed a familyIs this the most chaotic by-election ever?

The man who died is understood have suffered several blows and his killing is now being investigated by police and forensic specialists.The cell was in an area of Estremera prison known to house difficult prisoners and the cellmate had been assigned to keep an eye on him, sources told Efe.The suspect was admitted to Estremera prison on 24 January, two days after handing himself into police. The bodies of the three siblings – 67-year-old Amelia, Ángeles who was 74, and José Gutiérrez Ayuso, 77 – had been found days earlier after neighbours said they had not seen them leave their home in Morata de Tajuña for several weeks.Spain’s civil guard said the suspect had been owed a large amount of money, which appeared to have arisen from the two sisters’ involvement in an online romance scam.Ángeles and Amelia had reportedly been involved for years in online relationships with people claiming to be military men from the US, sending hundreds of thousands of euros to two men.”We told them that it was all a lie, that it was a scam,” one friend called Enrique Velilla said, adding that they refused to admit it.The sisters had then asked local people for financial help and Mr Husain told police he had lent them a large amount. He had lived in their home as a lodger for several months.Investigators believe the two sisters and their older brother were beaten to death with an iron bar and their bodies were then partially burned in December.Mr Hussain had served time in jail for hitting Amelia over the head with a hammer but he was released from prison in September.Related TopicsSpainMore on this storySpanish triple murder linked to online romance scamPublished23 JanuaryTop StoriesLive.

That’s the equestrian sport, not the mints.Delfina Blaquier, married to Prince Harry’s polo-playing friend Nacho Figueras, also posted a picture of the new jam, with hers labelled “10 of 50”.The social media trail for American Riviera Orchard evokes a sense of the couple’s home in California – and this soft launch for the jam show pictures of the jars in a sunny basket of lemons.It’s not known how much items from the new lifestyle brand will cost. Although there are already plenty of other royals getting into jams. Visitors to the gift shops in royal palaces can get a Buckingham Palace Strawberry Preserve for £3.95 or Windsor Castle Fine Cut Seville Orange Marmalade, also for £3.95.On both sides of the Atlantic they seem to be conserving their finances.Related TopicsUK Royal FamilyMeghan, Duchess of SussexMore on this storyWhat we know about Meghan’s regal lifestyle brandPublished16 MarchMeghan launches surprise new lifestyle brandPublished14 MarchTop StoriesMPs back smoking ban for those born after 2009Published8 minutes agoMuslim student loses school prayer ban challengePublished2 hours agoBowen: Iran’s attack on Israel offers Netanyahu a lifelinePublished7 hours agoFeaturesJeremy Bowen: Iran’s attack on Israel offers Netanyahu a lifelineIranians on edge as leaders say ‘Tel Aviv is our battleground’A really, really big election with nearly a billion votersWhat is the smoking ban and how will it work?Martin Tyler: I nearly lost my voice foreverWho are the millions of Britons not working?How to register to vote for the local elections ahead of midnight deadlinePlaying Coachella after cancer emotional, says DJHow the Alec Baldwin fatal film set shooting unfoldedElsewhere on the BBCFrom weight loss to prolonging lifeIs intermittent fasting actually good for you?

It focuses on whether a 2002 federal law created to prevent corporate misconduct could apply to individuals involved in the 6 January riots. More than 350 people have been charged in the incident under that law, which carries a 20-year prison penalty.Donald Trump faces the same charge in the pending federal case accusing him of election interference. The law makes it a crime to “corruptly” obstruct or impede an official proceeding. On Tuesday, Supreme Court Justices heard two hours of arguments over the law’s interpretation. However, it remained unclear how they would rule. A lawyer for a man who stormed the Capitol and was prosecuted under the law argued before the Justices that “a host of felony and misdemeanour” crimes already exist to prosecute his clients actions.The 2002 law passed in the wake of the Enron accounting scandal, Jeffrey Green said, was not one of them. US Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar counterargued that rioters deliberately attempted “to prevent Congress from certifying the results of the election,” therefore obstructing an official proceeding. Both fielded sceptical questions from the Justices. At one point, Mr Green argued that there is no historical precedent in which the law was used to prosecute demonstrators.Justice Sonia Sotomayor replied: “We’ve never had a situation before where (there was an attempt) to stop a proceeding violently, so I am not sure what a lack of history proves.”On the other hand, Ms Prelogar fielded questions from Justice Neil Gorusch on whether the law could then be stretched to apply to a “sit-in that disrupts a trial” or “a heckler” at the State of the Union Address. “Would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify for 20 years in federal prison?” he asked, appearing to reference an incident in which Jamaal Bowman, Democrat House representative, pressed a fire alarm in the Capitol.How the top court rules could have wide-ranging effects on the hundreds of people charged, convicted or sentenced under the law, as well as the prosecution of Mr Trump. Here is a breakdown of the key players and the law being argued: What is the 2002 federal law at the centre of the trial?The law is called the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. It was passed in response to the Enron scandal in the early 2000s, after it was exposed that those involved had engaged in massive fraud and shredding documents. It criminalizes the destruction of evidence – like records or documents. But it also penalises anyone who “otherwise obstructs, influences or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so.” How has it been used in response to the 6 January riots?Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the US Department of Justice (DoJ) has brought obstruction charges against those who participated in the storming of the Capitol. Federal prosecutors argue they did so to impede Congress’ certification of the presidential electoral vote count to cement Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election. Therefore, the latter portion of the law that deals with obstructing an “official proceeding” would apply, the DoJ says. Who is challenging the law’s use in this case, and why? The Supreme Court is hearing a challenge to the law’s application brought forward by a former Pennsylvania police officer.Joseph Fischer was charged under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with obstruction of a congressional proceeding on 6 January, as well as assaulting a police officer and disorderly conduct. His lawyers argue that prosecutors overreached with applying the Act, which they say deals explicitly with destroying or tampering with evidence integral to an investigation. Those who challenge the law’s application in 6 January cases also argue that a broad interpretation of the law would allow the prosecution of lobbyists or protestors who disrupt matters in Congress.How could the Supreme Court ruling impact Trump?The former president is charged under the very same law in a federal case accusing him of working to overturn the results of the 2020 election, which he lost to Mr Biden.If Supreme Court justices rule that the law does not apply to the 6 January rioters, Mr Trump could seek dismissal of half the charges he faces in that case.It also could be seen as a political win for the former president, who is seeking re-election in November, as he repeatedly has accused prosecutors of overreach. A final ruling is not expected until June.

Local authorities had raised concerns over public safety.A UK spokeswoman called reports of police action “extremely disturbing”. She said that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was a “strong supporter and advocator for free speech” and that he was “very clear that cancelling events or preventing attendance and no-platforming speakers is damaging to free speech and to democracy as a result”.Alexander De Croo, the Belgian prime minister, said that the shutting down of the conference was “unacceptable”.Referring to the fact that it was the local mayor, Emir Kir, who opposed the conference, Mr De Croo added that while municipal autonomy was a cornerstone of Belgium’s democracy it could “never overrule the Belgian constitution guaranteeing the freedom of speech”. “Banning political meetings is unconstitutional. Full stop,” Mr De Croo wrote on X.In a message to organisers, Mr Kir had said some of the attendees of Tuesday’s conference held anti-gay and anti-abortion views. “Among these personalities there are several particularly from the right-conservative, religious right and European extreme right,” his statement said.Mr Kir also wrote on X: “The far right is not welcome.”Nigel Farage, who took to the stage this morning, told the BBC the decision to close down the conference because there were homophobes in the audience was “cobblers”, and that he condemned the decision as an attempt to stifle free speech. “Thank God For Brexit”, he said.Organised by a think-tank called the Edmund Burke Foundation, the National Conservatism Conference is a global movement which espouses what it describes as traditional values, which it claims are being “undermined and overthrown”. It also opposes further European integration.The conference said it aimed to bring together “public figures, journalists, scholars and students” who understood the connection between conservatism and the idea of nationhood and national traditions. French far-right politician Eric Zemmour, arriving for the conference after police had blocked the entrance, told journalists that Mr Kir was “using the police as a private militia to prevent… Europeans from taking part freely”.Organisers said Mr Zemmour was not allowed into the venue and that his address would be postponed.Former UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman and far-right French politician Eric Zemmour were listed as keynote speakers. The National Conservatism Conference reportedly started around 08:00 (06:00 GMT) on Tuesday and carried on for three hours until police showed up and asked the organisers to make attendees leave.Later, organisers wrote on X: “The police are not letting anyone in. People can leave, but they cannot return. Delegates have limited access to food and water, which are being prevented from delivery. Is this what city mayor Emir Kir is aiming for?”Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban and the former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki were due to speak tomorrow. Earlier, the organisers said on X that they would challenge the order to shut the conference down. “The police entered the venue on our invitation, saw the proceedings and the press corps, and quickly withdrew. Is it possible they witnessed how peaceful the event is?,” they wrote on X.The Claridge event space – located near Brussels’s European Quarter – can host up to 850 people. Around 250 people were in attendance on Tuesday afternoon.Mohamed Nemri, the owner of Claridge, told the BBC he had decided to host the event because “we don’t reject any party…. even if we don’t have the same opinion. That’s normal”.”I am Muslim and people have different opinion and that’s it. We are living in a freedom country. I’d like to people to talk freely,” he added.It is the third venue that was supposed to hold the event, after the previous two fell through. Belgian media reported that one venue pulled out after pressure by a group called the “Antifascist coordination of Belgium”.Related TopicsBelgiumTop StoriesMuslim student loses school prayer ban challengePublished43 minutes agoBowen: Iran’s attack on Israel offers Netanyahu a lifelinePublished5 hours agoLive.

The metal object was jettisoned from the orbiting outpost in March 2021, Nasa said on Monday after analysing the sample at the Kennedy Space Center.The 1.6lb (0.7kg) metal object tore through two layers of ceiling after re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. Homeowner Alejandro Otero said his son was nearly injured by the impact. Nasa said the object was part of some 5,800lbs of hardware that was dumped by the station after it had new lithium-ion batteries installed. “The hardware was expected to fully burn up during entry through Earth’s atmosphere on March 8, 2024. However, a piece of hardware survived and impacted a home in Naples, Florida,” the agency said.The debris was determined to be part of a stanchion used to mount batteries on a cargo pallet. The object, made from metal alloy Inconel, has dimensions of 4in by 1.6in (10.1cm by 4cm).Mr Otero told CBS affiliate Wink-TV that the device created a “tremendous sound” as it blasted into his home.”It almost hit my son. He was two rooms over and heard it all,” he said.”I was shaking. I was completely in disbelief. What are the chances of something landing on my house with such force to cause so much damage,” Mr Otero continued.”I’m super grateful that nobody got hurt.”According to Nasa, the ISS will “perform a detailed investigation” on how the debris survived burn-up.What’s the risk of being hit by falling space debris?Is it a bird?

At the time of his arrest, he was an active duty member of the US Marines. Prosecutors said Brannon was a neo-Nazi who frequently spoke of “cleansing” the US of “particular ethnic groups”. In November, Brannon pleaded guilty to conspiracy, destruction of property, possession of an explosive and intentionally damaging a reproductive health services facility.Kristen Clarke, the assistant attorney general for the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, said the attack “was designed to terrorise patients seeking reproductive healthcare and the people who provide it”.The explosion damaged the front entrance to the clinic in Costa Mesa, Orange County. No one was injured.However, Mehtab Syed, of the FBI’s Los Angeles field office, said Brannon’s “deep-rooted hatred and extremist views… could have killed innocent people”. Mr Syed added that Brannon plotted to rob Jewish residents in the Hollywood Hills, and had also discussed plans to attack the power grid. Further to this, in 2022, Mr Syed said Brannon, of San Juan Capistrano, placed calls to two US “adversaries” hoping to offer himself as a “mole” providing US intelligence.Two co-defendants, Tibet Ergul and Xavier Batten, have pleaded guilty to similar charges and will be sentenced next month.According to the National Abortion Federation, a group representing US abortion providers, there was a “sharp increase” in violence against clinics in 2022.
