at ten — can he survive as scotland's first minister? it's been a dramatic day for humza yousaf. his shock decision to end power—sharing with the scottish greens leads to a motion of no confidence in his leadership. he's been in office barely a year, but tonight the outcome of that vote hangs in the balance. also tonight — after the carmathenshire school stabbings, a 13—year—old girl will appear in court, charged with three attempted murders. if you don't have immunity, you're not going to do anything. you're going to become a ceremonial president. a case unlike any heard before — the us supreme court deliberates if donald trump should have immunity from criminal prosecution. chanting: free, free, free palestine. - we report on the wave of pro—palestinian campus protests sweeping america.

and manchester city close the gap at the top of the premier league with a convincing win, away to brighton. on bbc london... on newsnight at 10:30 p:m.. this morning, the surprise news that the snp and green coalition collapsing. at bedtime, what is left of homes that's coalition which are marked and what does it mean for the coalition? the snp's power—sharing arrangement, with the scottish greens. he now leads a minority government — a predicament seized upon by scottish conservatives, who've called a vote of no confidence, which the scottish greens now say they'll back. if he loses the vote, due next week, his position could become untenable

barely a year since taking over as first minister from nicola sturgeon. so, how did it come to this, and could he still cling on? with the very latest, let's joinjames cook, our scotland editor, live in edinburgh. well, it's been a day here of harsh words and of recriminations, of allegations flung, of defences and indeed of some political drama, with the scottish green party insisting that it had no confidence in the first minister humza yousaf, a position which its leader said they were happy to make clear here in this parliament, even if that brings him down. why have you been up to the house this morning? it ended where it began — two green ministers leaving the scottish government nearly three years after signing the bute house agreement. inside the grand edinburgh residence where the deal was struck, the first minister confirmed it was over.

it's now myjudgement that the balance has shifted. the bute house agreement was intended to provide stability to the scottish government and it has made possible a number of achievements, but it has served its purpose. you were strongly backing this deal with the greens just days ago. you've previously said it was worth its weight in gold. aren't the greens right when they say that this u—turn shows that you are weak and hopeless. quite the opposite. it shows leadership. as the leader of the government, leader of the party that elected me, i've got to make sure i do what's in the best interest of scotland. the deal began under nicola sturgeon, with promises of a new politics, of cooperation and collaboration. but it ran into trouble over a failure to meet a key climate change target and a dispute about transgender health care. now the greens say they'll vote against humza yousaf in a motion of confidence.

the first minister has decided, i'm sorry to say, to capitulate to the most reactionary, backward looking forces within the snp. and it's the opposite of what's in scotland's best interests. the future generations - of scotland have been betrayed. the progressive policies. that greens were working towards were about creating - a long—standing vision for a greener and fairer scotland. presiding officer, maybe i should... at first minister's question time, the other opposition parties also piled on the pressure. the people of scotland didn't vote for this first minister. for this mess and this chaos. so isn't it time to end the circus and call an election? he has abandoned the platform he stood on. | he claims it's now a new beginning, but really it's the beginning of the end. isn't humza yousaf a lame duck first minister? - that may depend on his former snp leadership rival ash regan, who could hold the casting vote.

she is now a member of alex salmond's alba party. she is one of the few adults in the room, so he has the opportunity to try and secure her vote. but he'll have to work at it. he can't assume it. you have to work at it. and he's going to have to respond to the the letter that i shall be writing him to say what her priorities are in terms of independence, in terms of the protection of rights of women and girls, and in terms of restoring competence to the scottish administration. ms regan is now, says her leader, the most powerful politician in the scottish parliament. james, if humza yousaf loses this vote of confidence next week, do you think he will survive? i vote of confidence next week, do you think he will survive?— think he will survive? i think it would be _ think he will survive? i think it would be very _ think he will survive? i think it would be very difficult - think he will survive? i think it would be very difficult for- think he will survive? i think it would be very difficult for him | think he will survive? i think it i would be very difficult for him to survive that, clive. it would be an enormous blow to his authority. the question would then be, would the

government survive, or could somebody else step in and command the confidence of the scottish parliament? there is a lot of water to flow under the bridge before we get there, let's not get ahead of ourselves. the question between then and now really is what does ash regan want? we had a hint of it from alex salmond there and one of the things it seems that the alba party would like is movement on this most contentious of issues, gender, and particularly, according to one source in the party i've been speaking to, a commitment that the scottish government will implement in full the recommendations of the cass review into gender services in england here in scotland will stop i had a chat with ash regan this evening and she said she has genuinely not decided how to vote yet, she is waiting to see what happens. it's going to be a nervous few days and hours for humza yousaf. indeed, james cook, thank you, in edinburgh.

a 13—year—old girl will appear in court tomorrow, charged with three counts of attempted murder. it follows the stabbing of two teachers and a teenager at a school in carmarthenshire yesterday. tomos morgan has the very latest. the scene yesterday, one of the three injured members of ysgol dyffryn aman being taken to hospital after being stabbed. this afternoon it was announced that teacher fiona elias, pictured here, and another teacher who the bbc understands to be liz hopkins and a pupil affected, have all been released from hospital. the shocking incident prompted a huge multi—agency response. cid and forensic teams recovered a knife and tonight an update from the police. a 13—year—old girl was arrested at the scene. i can confirm she has now been charged with three counts of attempted murder. dyfed—powys police also said that last night concerns were raised over some social media posts that referenced the incident that took place here in dyffryn aman yesterday.

they went to the home of the person they believed responsible for that content and a 15—year—old male was arrested and remains in custody. they're now investigating whether there is a link between the two alleged offences. ammanford is still in shock. as staff of dyffryn aman return tomorrow, they'll prepare to assist those pupils affected as best they can for when they return on monday. tomos morgan, bbc news, ammanford. it's a case that goes to the heart of presidential power, and the us supreme court's ruling will be historic when it decides whether or not donald trump is immune from criminal prosecution over acts carried out while in office. mr trump is of course facing dozens of criminal charges, but claims all presidents should have special immunity. gary o'donoghue is in washington as the supreme court begins hearing the

arguments. we know what the former president's case is going to be. what will his opposition be? nearly three hours of oral arguments before the supreme court, for the first time in the near 250 year history of this republic this court is being asked to rule on whether a president, in this case donald trump, is immune from criminal prosecution for acts conducted while he was president. it relates to the kc is facing over his attempts to overturn the 2020 general election and subsequent attack on the capitol in january the six. and subsequent attack on the capitol injanuary the six. his lawyers argue the constitution does give him that immunity. his prosecutors are saying, no, no one is above the law. this could have huge implications notjust this could have huge implications not just for donald this could have huge implications notjust for donald trump is my other criminal cases that he is facing, notjust for the election in

for years there was a fear of speaking out, they said, because of his ability to make or break careers. but now the rape conviction against harvey weinstein that came out of the me too movement has been overturned in new york. ashleyjudd, the first actress to make allegations against him publicly, said the court's decision was a shock. today is an act of institutional betrayal. and our institutions betray survivors of male sexual violence. the court of appeal said prosecutors had called witnesses whose accusations were not part of the charges against him. that meant, it said, he was unfairly tried for past behaviour. harvey weinstein was also convicted of rape in a separate case here in la.

labour says it expects to renationalise nearly all passenger rail services within five years, if it wins the next election. it says a new public body will inherit existing contracts when they expire. automatic refunds for train delays and better internet connection on trains are also planned. but the transport secretary, mark harper, says the plans are "unfunded". chris mason has the story. hurtling for the train, among the throng today the man who hopes that he is striding to downing street. keir starmer reckons he has a plan to lure more of us on to the trains. he wants much of the railway to be

publicly owned. he reckons he has a plan to lure more of us on to the trains by making fares macro timetables simpler. i'vejoined him on a visit to county durham, to hitachi's train factory, to put your questions to the labour leader. privatisation has not worked, ourjob is pick this up, fix it and that will require us as the franchises end to bring them into public ownership. will your plan make travelling by train cheaper? it will ensure the best price is available for everyone. people have no confidence that they're getting the best fare. this isn't about capping the fares, but making sure that the system overall works. isn't this the same old labour, a zeal to nationalise, suspicion of profit, driven by ideology? no, this is not ideological fixation. it is ideologically

fixated not to do it. to say even it were better run, we won't do it is the ideology that gets in the way of the passenger focus that i'm determined that we will have. the scottish national party said they would long argued privatisation had been a disaster. the liberal democrats say they want fares frozen and the conservatives? since privatisation we have seen a doubling _ since privatisation we have seen a doubling in— since privatisation we have seen a doubling in the _ since privatisation we have seen a doubling in the since privatisation we have seen a doublin- in the number since privatisation we have seen a doubling in the since privatisation we have seen a doublin- in the number of since privatisation we have seen a doubling in the since privatisation we have seen a doublin- in the number of passen-ers doubling in the number of passengers on the railway — doubling in the number of passengers on the railway. 100 _ doubling in the number of passengers on the railway. 100 and _ doubling in the number of passengers on the railway. 100 and pounds- on the railway. 100 and pounds invested — on the railway. 100 and pounds invested in_ on the railway. 100 and pounds invested in rolling _ on the railway. 100 and pounds invested in rolling stock- on the railway. 100 and pounds invested in rolling stock and . invested in rolling stock and improved _ invested in rolling stock and improved services. - under british rail, the previous nationalised system, _ the number of people - using the railways was falling. under british rail, the previous nationalised system, _ so what do people in darlington make of trains in public ownership. we have lived through that before. they didn't have the problems. every day there is a delay.

pro—palestinian protests on american university and college campuses are spreading, with hundreds of arrests as police confront the demonstrators. some are likening the student activism to the wave of protests during the vietnam war in the late 1960s. the unrest intensified last week, after students at new york's columbia university set up a gaza solidarity protest ca m p. the demonstrations then quickly spread from the east coast to the west, and many places in between. sarah smith has more from new york. this protest is getting louder as demos are spreading through the country. what started here now feels like a nationwide movement. students whose passion is often fueled by images of the war in gaza they see on their phones. when you wake up every day and what you're seeing are children who have lost everything, have lost limbs. families who have been torn apart, losing their homes. it's hard.

like, at whatever age right to ignore that. student protesters clashed with police at emerson college in boston last night. today, at emory university in atlanta, some were tackled to the ground as a number were detained. and protests are continuing at the university of texas in austin despite dozens of arrests overnight. at columbia, israeli flags and pictures of the hostages held by hamas in gaza have been erected byjewish students who feel hostility from the protesters. this philosophy student says she feels so intimidated, she didn't want us to show her face. i have felt extremely physically unsafe, very distracted from my schoolwork and very worried for all my other fellowjewish students that look morejewish than i do, because there have been a lot of emotional and physical assaults to them based on the way that they look.

and it has just been extremely disappointing to walk into school and a place where i deserve to be here and to learn and feel like my voice and maybe my... story and the way that i feel about what's going on doesn't really matter because i'm not being supported. ilhan omar, a left wing democratic congresswoman, joined the protesters today as this is becoming a national political battle. the leading republican in congress came yesterday to call the protests anti—semitic. these scenes greeted president biden as he arrived in new york today. at george washington university in the capital, professors have joined their students on a protest, one thatjewish students fear is calling for the destruction of the israeli state. i believe in the constitution, the first amendment right of freedom of speech, to the point... but there is a line where it goes from being

purely protesting and other government's actions into protesting the idea of the estate's in existence. the protesters at columbia say some anti—semitic incidents were caused by interlopers and they point to thejewish students in their midst. it's complicated. i think it's very, very important that we're here and that our voices are here, notjust to show that there are jews that are very, very supportive of palestine and palestinian liberation, but also to be voices that are internally supportive of making the space more accepting forjewish students. the students say they are determined to stay put despite looming finals in the imminent end of term. the university still wants them out by the end of the week. columbia university has set a deadline of midnight tonight east coast time for the students to end their protest and the students are adamant they will not do that, so we

will see what happens next. the university of south california has announced it is scaling back its graduation ceremony because of threats to disrupt it and that is something we might see happening across the country in the coming weeks. sarah, thank you. a former senior executive at the post office has told the public inquiry into the horizon it scandal, that she never "knowingly" did anything wrong. angela van den bogerd, was a senior director, who personally handled many sub postmaster complaints about the computer system. she says she's "truly sorry for the devastation," caused to branch managers. here's emma simpson. for these subpostmasters it is the biggest moment in the inquiry so far. a day they didn't want to miss. i lost my house and the office and health and became suicidal. it devastated us and affected 4,000 people.

none of this needed to happen. it is a personal thing - to face her face to face again. so, yes, it is very important. they're talking about angela van den bogerd, the post office executive described as knowing more about horizon as anyone else. angela is our head of network services... many of us know a lot more about her too, after the drama showing her closely involved she was. we are so sorry for your loss. so what is her story today? it began with an apology. i'm sorry for the devastation caused to you and your family and friends. firstly, you make no concessions or admissions that you did anything wrong? i didn't knowingly do anything wrong. i would never knowingly do anything wrong. subpostmasters were told no one could access their accounts without their permission. it was a key claim in prosecutions.

but the inquiry was shown an e—mail chain where a colleague said fujitsu can put an entry into a branch amount remotely. i don't recall seeing this. that would have struck me as being strange. angela van den bogerd was copied into various e—mails about remote access and there is evidence that fujitsu could tamper with subpostmasters�* accounts. yet the post office continued to deny it was possible for another eight years. is it a case of everyone missing it? or is it that the overriding objective is to defend very robustly the position that there is no remote access? that was never my position. i was certainly not trying to cover up or suppress or do anything along those lines. this man was wrongly convicted and sent to prison. he wasn't impressed.

she is a hard stone woman and she is choosing her words carefully. - believable? no. see right through her. the inquiry heard this post office veteran laid the blame on fujitsu's door. she is back here again tomorrow. emma simpson, bbc news at the post office inquiry. two of the household cavalry horses who bolted and galloped through central london yesterday are in a "serious condition", having undergone surgery. the army says it's too early to know if they'll return to official duties. seven horses were spooked during a miliary exercise, with four unseating their riders. as chi chi izundu reports, the household cavalry have been back on parade. this is the event the bolted horses were being exercised for — the major general�*s inspection, which is an annual test

of the household cavalry�*s ability to conduct state ceremonial duties for the year. the horses quaker, tennyson and both vida and trojan, who are seen here running through central london, were spooked after building materials were dropped from a height next to them. four soldiers were thrown and while three needed hospital treatment, it's been confirmed one has now been discharged. a cyclist was also treated in hospital. the army has confirmed that all four horses that bolted yesterday are now under veterinary care. three of them are being looked after here at the hyde park barracks, including the white one that was obviously injured. the fourth is at an equine hospital. equine specialists say that despite months of training to get used to the different sounds of london, these animals can still get spooked. if something they perceive to be a little bit different, so it may be louder or it may be in closer proximity to them, maybe a slightly different sort of noise to what they're used to, that can trigger a fear response in horses still.

vida and quaker�*s injuries are serious, but the army hopes they will make enough of a recovery to join the rest of their regiment on official duties in the nearfuture. chi chi izundu, bbc news. it's one of the most beautiful cities on earth, attracting huge numbers of tourists. but now venice has become the first ever city to charge visitors, in a bid to control numbers. tourists will need to pay 5 euros for a day trip between now and mid july, as the scheme is tested out. those who refuse to pay face a fine of between 50 to 300 euros, as mark lowen reports. sometimes beauty can be overshared. venice — glorious, unique and creaking under the weight of mass tourism. 30 million visitors a year, two thirds of them day trippers crowding the same sites at the same times, pushing out the locals.

so a new way to tackle it — a five—euro entry fee from today. the world's first such scheme. residents and overnight tourists are among those exempt in controls across venice. so this is how it works. i've entered the city at the main train station. i go to the payment website, find the 5 euros fee for today, click through and enter my name and credit card details. so i get a qr code, i come through and have it scanned and it shows that i paid and i can enter the city and avoid a fine of up to 300 euros. it's a good idea to make money. i don't know if people will like it and want to keep coming to pay. i would try probably try to change my travel dates to make it a little more smooth. avoid the fee? to avoid the fee, yeah. i think if it can help - with their infrastructure or whatever else they may. have a need for, then i think that would be great. the authorities say it's a trial untiljuly that could be extended in price and duration. it's very important for us

to discourage the day—trippers and to know in advance how many people will visit venice so we can arrange all the services, the transport, the cleaning of the city. a lot of cities in europe, most of all are affected by over tourism. so do you think that you will be a guinea pig, if you like, for other cities? yes. it's not the most beautiful role, but i think, yes. but the tide of critics is growing, like environmental scientist jane de mosto. she's lived here for 30 years and seen the number of residents drop to record lows in a city threatened by tourism and climate change. a five—euro ticket is less than the cost of a drink at a bar. i think we know enough about what's happening to not need to do experiments. we just need to get on and address the real issues of protecting venice and making it a better place to live.

so this historic city grapples with an instagram—era problem, as venetians wait to see if this scheme can save their increasingly fragile jewel. mark lowen, bbc news, venice.

here's ben. it is
