after becoming the main suspect in the murder of his ex—wife and her friend. from an impoverished childhood, he had gone on to become one of the greatest american football players in history and a hollywood actor. but he will be forever remembered for his nine—month televised trial for the double murder that transfixed america. accused of killing his former wife in a jealous rage, at one point, oj simpson was shown struggling to try on a pair of gloves found at the crime scene. if it doesn't fit, you must acquit. orenthaljames simpson, not guilty of the crime of murder... the trial ended in a not—guilty verdict, which racially divided the country, seen in some communities as a case of the white police force trying to frame the star. the journalist who first interviewed him after his acquittal said his life story continued to intrigue audiences long after oj simpson disappeared from public life. it is a bit surreal. i mean, we all can go at any moment,

but to think about, as you read, who oj simpson was, this star running back, arguably at his time, the greatest running back of all time in the nfl, then to become a pitchman and a movie star, and then, you know, the tragedy that befell the goldman family. but later, he did go to jail, having been charged with armed robbery after a confrontation in las vegas with two sports memorabilia dealers. he was released in 2017 after nine years behind bars. his family wrote on social media that he died of cancer on wednesday surrounded by his children and grandchildren. oj simpson will be remembered for his rags—to—riches story and tragic fall from grace, which left the unresolved question in popular culture ever since over whether justice was ever truly served. emma vardy, bbc news, los angeles.

just a little earlier, i spoke to kato kaelin, the house guest of oj simpson at the time of the murder, and he testified at the trial. he is now composed ofi degrees of scandalous, a podcast looks at major trials and scandals. he told me how the oj simpson case continues to sit in the public consciousness. the thin . s in the public consciousness. the things that _ in the public consciousness. iie: things that stand out in a persons mind will go on forever sr as the latejohnny cochran, you must acquit, if it does not fit, you must acquit, if it does not fit, you must acquit, with the trying on the gloves, the expressions and it became... i guess you could say a pop—culture thing. look, they won eight emmys on a tv show, they won an oscarfor espn's eight emmys on a tv show, they won an oscar for espn's document tree on it and it will go on forever. let’s it and it will go on forever. let's brin: in it and it will go on forever. let's bring in our _ it and it will go on forever. let's bring in our panel, _ it and it will go on forever. let's bring in our panel, susie - it and it will go on forever. let's bring in our panel, susie boniface and brian stelter. can we start with

you, brian? so many across america will have so many reflections right now. what thoughts come to you? at now. what thoughts come to you? git the time of his arrest and trial, oj simpson was the most famous person ever to be charged with murder, basically ever in american history up basically ever in american history up until that point, so this was undoubtedly, undeniably one of the biggest stories in the world when it happened in the mid—i9 90s. at the same time, it was a watershed moment for america and for the american media, because it ushered in this era of entertainment news, infotainment, and really it was the beginning of reality television. we did not use that phrase in the 19905, that did not come until a little later on, but that is exactly what this was. because tens of millions of people watched the trial every day stuff and here's the other important point, i think. this was notjust entertainment for people, this was a real murder case, and involved real people, celebrity,

race, justice. these are really important issues that were on trial at the same to that oj was. that's why i think here we are decades later and it feels like a big moment today. later and it feels like a big moment toda . �* ,, , , later and it feels like a big moment toda. , ., , today. and susie, this was not 'ust of course watched i today. and susie, this was not 'ust of course watched by i today. and susie, this was not 'ust of course watched by so i today. and susie, this was not 'ust of course watched by so many h today. and susie, this was not just l of course watched by so many across the us but around the world too. it was. and in all the talk, really, of 0j was. and in all the talk, really, of oj simpson— was. and in all the talk, really, of oj simpson today, there's been very little mention, apart from the trial and what — little mention, apart from the trial and what he was accused of, actually about _ and what he was accused of, actually about his _ and what he was accused of, actually about his wife, and local brown, and her friend _ about his wife, and local brown, and her friend ron goldman, who were murdered — her friend ron goldman, who were murdered -- — her friend ron goldman, who were murdered —— nicole brown. and as civil courts — murdered —— nicole brown. and as civil courts later ruled were murdered by oj simpson. for years nicole _ murdered by oj simpson. for years nicole brown kept a diary which logs the abuse _ nicole brown kept a diary which logs the abuse that oj had subjected her to, beating her, kicking her, hitting— to, beating her, kicking her, hitting her car with a baseball bat when _ hitting her car with a baseball bat when she — hitting her car with a baseball bat when she was late home, tearing her clothes _ when she was late home, tearing her clothes from her. she called the police _ clothes from her. she called the police repeatedly. someone who is involved _

abuse then there was several decades ago. if you think also about the indictment we live in now, we live indictment we live in now, we live in a world of information saturation where no single trial or case or crime would possibly conjure up as much attention as this one received in the 90s. much attention as this one received in the 905. as we looked at those images, they are colour images, but they are very different world, before smartphones and broadband and social networks, it's scary to imagine what a trial of the sentry would look like in the social media age, when everybody could weigh in real—time with conspiracy theories. that comes to my mind when i thing about the oj case in the 90s that comes to my mind when i thing about the oj case in the 905 versus today. there's a saying on twitter, a main character on social media every day, a main character every day. it occurs to me, oj simpson was the main characterfor day. it occurs to me, oj simpson was the main character for many people for a year, for years actually, all of people involved in this trail became characters, in some ways that was a creation of the media will

that may not be a healthy phenomenon, but it is a phenomenon we deal with today.— we deal with today. brian, susie, thanks, both _ we deal with today. brian, susie, thanks, both of _ we deal with today. brian, susie, thanks, both of you. _ we deal with today. brian, susie, thanks, both of you. back- we deal with today. brian, susie, thanks, both of you. back with i we deal with today. brian, susie, l thanks, both of you. back with you in a moment. to the middle east now, where there are growing worries about reprisals from iran for the killing of senior iranian commanders in the syrian capital damascus. iran's supreme leader has vowed that israel will be punished for the attack, which he said was a strike on iran itself. bbc verify has found evidence the iranian authorities have given notice to pilots to avoid the tehran area as rocket launches could be taking place between the 10th and the 12th of april. it's also possible an attack on israel could come via iran's proxy hezbollah, which has forces in lebanon. president biden has pledged "ironclad" support for israel over iran even as he criticises policy in gaza. there's major concern internationally about any escalation in the middle east.

american military commander for the middle east region, michael kurilla, is in israel to discuss intelligence that iran could be about to launch a retaliatory strike against the country. germany has also urged iran to exercise maximum restraint, and from the uk, prime minister rishi sunak has warned iran about attacking israel. we can now speak to yaakov amidror, who was previously national security advisor to prime minister netanyahu and chairman of israel's national security council. thank you very much for coming on the programme. thank you very much for coming on the programme-— thank you very much for coming on the programme. thank you for having me. the programme. thank you for having me- what's — the programme. thank you for having me- what's your— the programme. thank you for having me. what's your assessment - the programme. thank you for having me. what's your assessment of - the programme. thank you for having me. what's your assessment of iran | me. what's your assessment of iran cosmic intentions _ me. what's your assessment of iran cosmic intentions here _ me. what's your assessment of iran cosmic intentions here with - me. what's your assessment of iran cosmic intentions here with regards| cosmic intentions here with regards to a possible attack or a strike? i think that the iranians decision—makers have to make the decision, how far they want to escalate the situation in the middle east. they are responsible for building hamas and for having hezbollah in lebanon, and the operation in damascus said to the

iranians, you cannot be far away, send your proxies to fighting as israel, and you will be under cover of not intervening in the area. there is no immunity any more for the irradiance, who are handling the wars against israel, it either from lebanon orfrom yemen. if wars against israel, it either from lebanon or from yemen. if they are involved, there is a price for that, and now the iranians have to make a decision, how far they want to ask late the situation. i don't know what will be their reaction. we know that they have a very important question to answer in front of them some point we have heard from the supreme leader, talking about the factor will be a retaliation. lots of exoerts _ factor will be a retaliation. lots of experts we've _ factor will be a retaliation. lots of experts we've been - factor will be a retaliation. lots of experts we've been speaking to throughout the day doubt anything more than a surgical strike, potentially for some would that be your assessment? obviously i am not

asking for a prediction at all, but just in balance of probabilities? i think the biggest part of the reaction, i'm reminded of the fact that a few years ago, we killed the previous head of the hezbollah in lebanon and the iranians and hezbollah initiated an operation that succeeded in the end to destroy the israeli embassy in argentina, killing many israelis but more argentinian civilians, so i think that for the iranians to find such a soft target, with many israelis, and to try to make something to show they are ready to act, not to retaliate into israel but to find some thing around the world which will lead to a massacre of israelis, thatis will lead to a massacre of israelis, that is something that we have to take into consideration. what that is something that we have to take into consideration.— that is something that we have to take into consideration. what do you make of the — take into consideration. what do you make of the international _ take into consideration. what do you make of the international warnings l make of the international warnings of a directly, to iran, to not

of money, training, whatever they could, commit a weapons systems to hamas, the same earlier with hezbollah, which a long arm of iran, and attacks israel. a day after the hamas attack. the iranians left to pay price if they want to be involved, there is a price for that. —— will have to pay price. involved, there is a price for that. -- will have to pay price.- -- will have to pay price. 0k. .. the iranians finished _ -- will have to pay price. 0k. .. the iranians finished in _ -- will have to pay price. 0k. .. the iranians finished in this _ -- will have to pay price. 0k. .. the iranians finished in this war - -- will have to pay price. 0k. .. the iranians finished in this war in - iranians finished in this war in israel, we will not attack the irradiance.— israel, we will not attack the irradiance. . . ~ ., . irradiance. yaakov amidror, we are out of time- _ irradiance. yaakov amidror, we are out of time. thank _ irradiance. yaakov amidror, we are out of time. thank you _ irradiance. yaakov amidror, we are out of time. thank you for - irradiance. yaakov amidror, we are out of time. thank you for talking l out of time. thank you for talking to us. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

ramps up activity... the movie civil war presents a nightmarish vision of the united states. the country has disintegrated. california and texas have broken away to form the western forces, trying to topple a third—term president. the film has the form of a road movie, and there are many harrowing moments. there's some kind of misunderstanding here. we're american, ok? 0k. but what kind of american are you? at the heart of all the action is a veteran war photographer caught up in the mayhem, played by actor kirsten dunst. she claims what director alex garland was aiming for in this production was realism. it was very immersive, kind of almost like a documentary, the way the cameras interacted with all the actors. and so he wanted the movie to feel as real as possible. the film does have the power to unnerve. it's a presidential

election year in america — highly partisan times. and still in many voters' minds is the violent storming of the us capitol building in january 2021 by supporters of donald trump which gave americans a taste of civil disorder. this new film definitely touches a raw nerve. civil war generated very positive word of mouth when it was shown at the south by southwest film festival in texas last month. it's hard to know how it will perform in cinemas. the action and adventure will engage, but audiences looking for something a bit deeper and more profound may be disappointed. tom brook, bbc news, new york. god bless america. let's bring in our panel. susie, as you can see, and, brian, let's start with you. is this just a film? should we not paid that much attention, or is there anything more going on here? {lin attention, or is there anything more going on here?— going on here? on the contrary, i think it matters _ going on here? on the contrary, i think it matters a _ going on here? on the contrary, i think it matters a lot. _ going on here? on the contrary, i think it matters a lot. i _ think it matters a lot. i have already bought my tickets to see civil war tomorrow. already bought my tickets to see civilwartomorrow. i already bought my tickets to see civil war tomorrow. i have been eager to see this on for the

following reason for the americans haveit following reason for the americans have it too easy. americans have it too good. americans love to complain about divisions and polarisation, left to complete about the economy and this and that, i think if you like this helps to recognise just how good we have it. just how lucky folks in western positions are to have real democracy, flawed as it is, a real democracy for cures why i say that. there are debates raging across social media about this movie, they're people who say it's scary, to come up with a movie like this, don't give anybody any bad ideas, i asked think a country like the united state is so far off from the united state is so far off from the ideas portrayed in this film, and that's a good thing, and is good to be reminded of those values. i was in texas yesterday, i can fly home to new york, that kind of freedom is something we should not to for granted. in this movie, you imagine a fascist president who seizes power for a third term and the what could happen after that? this film in many ways is about what happens to institutions, what

hello there. the weather today has been very mild indeed for april. temperatures reached 20 degrees celsius in parts of norfolk. meanwhile, in northern ireland, the 17 degrees were recorded here made it northern ireland's warmest day of the year so far. we did have south—westerly winds dragging in the mild air, but they also brought a lot of cloud to wales and southwest england, whereas the best of the sunshine, really, was across the midlands, northern england and into parts of scotland. we've got a similar set—up weather—wise, really, into friday. the jet stream continues to drag up some very mild air from near the azores, moves it along into parts of the uk, and that's going to again boost the temperatures on friday into the high teens to low 20s. aberdeen seeing temperatures seven degrees celsius above average. now, before we get there, overnight tonight, we're looking at a few patches of rain coming and going across northern ireland, scotland and northern england. there'll be a few mist and fog patches around as well. the south—westerly winds continue to bring that mild air across the uk. so a mild night, temperatures staying up into double figures in most places. tomorrow, mild start to the mist

and fog patches slowly lifting and clearing, but the chance of seeing sunshine and more sunshine across england and wales, whereas the thicker cloud will be in parts of scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england, where we'll have a few patches of rain from time to time. 18 in aberdeen, top temperatures across eastern england likely to hit around 21 degrees celsius, which is going to get close to the highest temperature ever recorded so far this year in the whole of the uk. all change, though, as we head into the weekend, we'll start to see some rain and cooler weather work into northern ireland, scotland and northern england, holding on to something a little bit warmer again for parts of wales, the midlands, east anglia and southern counties of england. but the change will come. as we head into sunday and next week, the jet stream pattern changes completely and we'll start to get these northwesterly winds dragging in much cooler weather conditions. and so, for the second half of the weekend, we're looking at lots of showers for scotland and northern ireland. some of those will have some hail mixed in, one or two showers for the northwest of both england and wales, still largely

dry across east anglia and southeast england, but temperatures back close to average, whereas further north, temperatures, if anything, could be a degree or so below average. what follows, then, into monday is more general outbreaks of rain and quite a cool windy day. sunshine and showers tuesday and wednesday, and then high pressure bringing drier weather towards the end of the week.

hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. you're watching

the context on bbc news. south korea's liberal opposition party wins a landslide majority in the country's general election. but we'll also look into an exciting way country's leading broadcasters vie for viewership on polling night. here in the uk, there's pressure on the government to rethink plans to tackle rough sleeping in england and wales. the criminaljustice bill would allow police to move on "nuisance" rough sleepers and fine or arrest them if they don't comply. critics say the definition of nuisance behaviour is too broad, and dozens of conservative mps are thought to oppose the plans. now more than 30 charities have written to home secretary james cleverly, warning about potential impacts. they say the plans "could see women...penalised for seeking
