Today, ‘Soldier F’ a former member of the Parachute Regiment has been found not guilty of murdering two people on Bloody Sunday in Northern Ireland in 1972. The judge, Patrick Lynch, found that the evidence presented fell “well short” of what was needed for a conviction. However, he said that members of the Parachute Regiment had shot dead unarmed civilians and that those involved should “hang their heads in shame”. Adam is joined by Ireland correspondent Sara Girvin, who has been reporting on the trial and the verdict. Plus, BBC News chief presenter Sumi Somaskanda and Russia editor Steve Rosenberg join Adam to discuss Trump’s new sanctions against Russia, plus cancelling his meeting with Putin in Hungary, and what this all means for the war in Ukraine.

  • This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK.

  • Hello.

  • On the previous episode of Newscast,

  • I teased a big announcement about Newscast coming up on our TV show,

  • which is on BBC One on Thursday night after question time.

  • I'm going to continue teasing it now, but I have an announcement about our big announcement.

  • It is not going to be that Chris and I are taking over from Tess and Claudia as presenters of Strictly Come Dancing.

  • Although a well-known broadcaster did message me on Instagram today to suggest that that would be a good idea

  • if we did.

  • Anyway, just saying.

  • Right,

  • let's see what else we can actually talk about on this actual episode of Newscast that you're going to get right now.

  • Hello,

  • it's Adam in the newscast studio and shortly I'll be joined by our colleagues in Moscow and Washington to talk about a big change in Donald Trump's policy towards Russia.

  • Yes, another one.

  • But first of all,

  • we're going to talk about a very significant trial that has just ended in Northern Ireland and it ended with a former member of the Parachute Regiment known only as Soldier F being found not guilty of two counts of murder and five counts of attempted murder on Bloody Sunday.

  • Now that was in January 1972 in London Derry when 13 people were shot dead and 15 others were injured during a civil rights demonstration in the Bogside area of the city of Derry.

  • This is the only prosecution brought around that event.

  • And the reason it happened so many years after Bloody Sunday in 1972 is that there was a very long-running public inquiry into the events of that day,
