live from london, this is bbc news. a us federal court rules that president trump has overstepped his authority by imposing global tariffs. meanwhile, elon musk is to leave his position within president trump's cost-cutting task force. president trump suggests he'll impose a deadline for vladimir putin on agreeing to a ceasefire in ukraine. and a look at how british filmmakers swept cannes as every competing british-funded film picked up a prize. hello. i'm mark lobel.

in the last couple of hours in the us, a federal court has ruled that president donald trump overstepped his authority by imposing global tariffs. if it holds, the block would represent a major blow to a key part of mr trump's economic policies. the court sided with lawyers representing small us businesses who argued that mr trump overstepped his authority by taxing imports. within minutes of the ruling, the trump administration lodged an appeal. a white house spokesman said it was not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency. frank lavin, who was the under secretary for international trade at the us commerce department under george hw bush told us earlier it's a big setback for the president. this really diminishes the language he has, and i suspect that he will not be successful on appeal and i suspect that when it comes to july and his threat of re- imposing tariffs that he says the talks are going along reasonably well, let's push back these had

tariffs for another 60 days or so, meaning he doesn't really have the legal authority to impose these tariffs in any event so he is looking for an excuse to push them back. let's speak to our north america correspondent jake kwon who's in washington. on the face of it, this is a major blow to donald trump's economic plan, and really diminishes his leveraged in those trade talks. it really is, and it is the first major legal challenge of the many that is coming up, and back in april, what he called liberation day on his so-called reciprocal tariffs, he showed off this bombastic announcement of ten to 50% tariffs on pretty much every country around the world, saying that these countries have been ripping off america for decades, selling their goods to the americans, but not buying american goods, and the problem here is that the constitution of the united states gives this power to congress to impose tariffs, but

not the president, and he argued that he could do this because there is a national emergency, that the problem is so bad that the president should be given an extra power to unilaterally impose taxes on imported goods. now, today, this is a court of international trade in new york city that has decided mr trump has overstepped his authority stop he really had no power to impose this tariff in the first place, and like you said, this really plunges his plan for the foreseeable future, he suspended this tariff, saying that he is going to suspended until july to give it time to negotiate better trade deals with other countries, but come july, now we don't know if these tariffs are coming back and really weakens mr trump's position in negotiating with other countries in coming up with a deal, and he has already negotiated some of these deals with the uk and other places. it really asked the question what happens to these deals? what happens next? donald trump

has said they are going to appeal this. how long will that take? within minutes, the white house said it is appealing the decision then we heard from stephen miller who is a key advisor to president trump, saying that the judiciary who was out of control and we are so heard from the white house spokesperson himself saying that unelected judges should not be guiding, have a say in president trump's policy to address these problems america has, and it really goes back to president trump's rationale with all these things, that he is a popular elected leader to tackle these emergencies that america is facing, and he is being undermined by these judges. the trade policy has really been a key pillar in mr trump's policy in his second term, so he is likely not going to give in, he is going to fight tooth and nail, and we

know this case will likely travel all the way up and down the us court system, and there are many pending cases across the united states, we are looking at a protracted battle. we also learned that the white house is beginning to offboard elon musk from his role. he tweeted that his time as a special government employee comes to an end. elon musk's time in politics, i think it is probably best described as tumultuous, nothing short of that, and we kind of expected him to depart very soon. he was given a special government employee status, which means he could work up to 130 days in a year, and that time runs out the end of may. this departure is still quite unceremonious, and he only posted on social media that is departing. we heard from the white house, yes, he is being thwarted today. so it really came slightly earlier than we

thought, and elon musk has been hinting that he will focus on business as his business like the tesla has been faltering, sales have really hit the cliff as his traditional customer base had really soured on him. we also saw some content growing in elon musk and his media circle in the white house all the while mr trump and elon musk seem to still enjoy good relations, we also heard that some other officials in the white house were growing more contentious with elon musk. most recently, we saw him criticising mr trump's big beautiful bill, which continues the tax cuts and adds the extra spending in the defence, so he said it really undermines his work in doge. so we have seen signs he would depart very soon. thank you so much. let's speak to a strategist in

washington. rina shah. why is he leaving earlier than expected? that had earlier than expected. this is a timeframe the special government employee status allows elon musk to stay in. around 130 days, and what donald trump was able to accomplish in 100 days with elon musk by his side astonished many political observers, even like me, there was so much activity coming out of the white house and it felt that everything had elon musk's print on it. so the moment feels a bit jarring but we can tie it directly to what we have seen today in a letter from pension fund leader -- leaders who are key investors in tesla who have demanded that tesla's board require elon musk to show up to work at tesla for a

minimum of 40 hours a week. the great irony in that is that through the department of government efficiency, elon musk was demanding that of so many federal government employees. again, i think this action is directly related to tesla's troubles. has he been a hero is steve hylton, a political advisor and the man running the california governor, says? has elon musk been a hero? is he reformed government spending? what i will say is elon musk's time in washington, dc has taught the world something, and what it has taught the world as a billionaires can shape -- shakeup systems. without accountability, they really risk breaking trust in governments, so it is important to look at elon musk is not just a key american figure, but has someone on the world stage who aligned with donald trump on so many things and had brought an international reach

in his time aligned with his white house. i just don't think he is going away any time soon. i think the donald trump family and the elon musk family are almost interwoven right now... does that mean that he will be back, you are saying, possibly? i'm not saying he will be back with this designation as a special government employee, but i will think he would be seen and very visible just as he was in trump's visit to the middle east. i am the daughter of immigrant so i know that innovation drives progress and i have been document let me put it this way. i have had mixed feelings about seeing corporations has a different row seat not only president trump's inauguration, but with this white house. like i said, the ultimate goal is to keep america prosperous, through innovation and corporate leaders have a seat at the table. but i think many of us have a huge problem with that. but when it comes to corruption and overstepping and the lack of transparency and

accountability, that is where it gets problematic. so as a geopolitical risk advisor, i have to warn this white house that our without checks really invites chaos. all right, for now, thank you very much for joining us. thank you. president trump has indicated he'll impose a deadline for vladimir putin on agreeing to a ceasefire in ukraine. mr trump said that if the russian leader was still "stringing him along" in two weeks, he would "respond differently." mr trump has so far stopped short of imposing sanctions, but has warned his stance could change. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said he'd spoken to his american counterpart the us secretary of state marco rubio about concrete proposals to be presented at a new round of direct talks with ukraine next week in istanbul. yesterday, germany and ukraine said they would work together to build long-range missiles. appearing alongside volodymyr zelensky in berlin, the new german chancellor, friedrich merz, promised

what he called a "new form of military industrial cooperation." let's speak to a politics professor and a military expert from uc san diego, branislav slantchev. trump's two week deadline here to putin, how seriously would you take that? i mean, we should not take this literally. president trump had already announced a two-week deadline around a month ago, but things have changed since then. although he himself tweeted just yesterday i believe, if it hadn't been for him, bad things would have happened to russia. it is clearly losing patience. but the most important thing is that political pressure within the us for him to change course has been mounting steadily for the past month. the congress and the senate, senator lindsey graham has amassed basically i bipartisan sanctions bill with a in two signatures. this is

nato proof, not that they will go against the president, they will wait for him. this signifies just how much pressure they have put on. pressure also coming from president zelensky's visit to germany, and that promise to help build missiles. what people are talking about, the 500 kilometre range missile that can go deep into russian territory. is that something that would worry the russians, hearing this kind of deal? yes, of course. they will be quite worried because ukraine is not only capable of building this, but they have the ok to use it. that is why we have heard from moscow, threats now emanating in particularly directed to germany specifically, warning that germany is prepared to go to war with russia. so they are worried, but we have heard this sort of apocalyptic rhetoric from the russians before, both with storm shutters with the uk

and the missiles from france, they issued similar warnings, and nothing happened. there is a worry of course that germany's involvement is deepening, so they are trying to deter this with the usual tactic, which is to issue threats. but from a us perspective, we have always wanted the europeans to take a leading role in helping ukraine, so this is not about development at all. i want to get your thoughts on this link that journalists have uncovered. 2 million documents on russia's secret nuclear basis. how significant is that? they have uncovered essentially the blueprints for some of the most secretive bases, including the ones whether housed the supersonic missiles, it is very significant because this allows us to get a very good idea of what kind of upgrades the russians have been doing over the years, what kind of vulnerabilities they have. so the russians will have to

dedicate an enormous amount of resources on fixing this, rebuilding this and possibly dedicating additional resources to the defence of these targets if there are any vulnerabilities discovered, that their opponent can use. i do not know that there is any vulnerabilities that can allow a strike on these facilities necessarily but we will certainly get a good idea of what is going on there. this is one of the most closely guarded secrets that the state can have, so i'm sure they are going to lose a lot of sleep over this. thank you.

thousands of people in gaza have looted a united nations warehouse in search of food supplies that were going to be distributed. videos show chaotic scenes

of people taking supplies as shots are fired. the un's world food programme says that according to initial reports at least four people died in the incident and several were injured. in a statement, the wfp called for an immediate scaling up of food aid to reassure desperate palestinians that they will not starve. this comes a day after a depot in rafah, run by the controversial us-backed gaza humanitarian foundation, was overrun by palestinians desperate for food. the un says nearly 50 people were injured, many apparently shot by israeli troops, who opened fire in an attempt to disperse the crowd. gaza's hamas-run health ministry said one person was killed. israel denies its troops were involved in the reported shooting. on wednesday, the united nations security council heard multiple accounts of the worsening violence and destruction in gaza. a fresh deal to end the war -

temporarily or permanently - has so far been elusive. but on wednesday, president trump's special envoy witkoff expressed optimism about the prospects for a ceasefire. i think that we are on the precipice of sending out a new terms sheet that hopefully will be delivered later on today. the president is going to review it and i have some very good feelings about getting to a long-term resolution, temporary ceasefire and a long-term resolution, a peaceful resolution of the conflict. let's speak to professor ben saul from the university of sydney who advises the united nations on human rights. based on the last couple of days, professor, do you think israel is delivering on its duty to facilitate humanitarian assistance? the debacle at the distribution centre recently shows you just how incompetent and ill-prepared israel has

been enrolling out this alternative to the existing international mechanisms distributing aid and in gaza, and hunted international law gaza has a obligation to facilitate the impartial humanitarian aid to reach all civilians in need. this new plan is clearly not capable of doing that comment lacks the scale, the expertise, the security and the confidence and legitimacy amongst the guards and population in order to be able to deliver on that promise. there has been a lot of criticism coming from the year of what israel is doing. what is israel's duty to co-operate with the un? well, certainly, israel has an obligation to respect international humanitarian law, and in that context over many, many decades, the united nations and its partner organisations have been the ones responsible for delivering humanitarian aid and other essential needs to the

palestinian populations, both in gaza and the west bank. under general assembly resolutions, israel has an obligation to co-operate with the united nations relief works for palestinian refugees, and unrwa has been a key co-ordinating platform and body for the distribution of humanitarian aid throughout this conflict and in previous conflict alike. now, israel has been breaking that system and hasn't put anything in its place, which can effectively do the job. and israel has been criticising that system and say they needed to put something else in place what can israel .2 with regards to its self defence and need to rescue hostages? well, firstly, that system was not broken and has been subject to numerous independent reviews, precisely in response to israeli allegations that terrorists had been infiltrating under an united nations programmes.

those reviews essentially gave umrah a clean deal of health and israel has never been able to present evidence that onramp was -- sorry, must was infiltrating unrwa. it allows control to be placed on the delivery of humanitarian aid, israel unfortunately did not co-operate with the united nations in, with, for example, the screening of unrwa employees to make sure they are not part of... on the part of the question about israel's self-defence? well, self-defence is strictly limited under international law by the requirements of necessity and proportionality. though as soon as you have neutralised the attack and prevented from reappearing in future, that is where your right of self-defence ends. now, that point was clearly reached many, many months ago

in the present conflict. in fact, i must was repelled from israeli territory within about 48 hours after the october 7, 2023 attack. for many, many months israel and presented to degrade us further and it is clear that hamas is absolutely on its knees, it is not capable of lodging any offensive operations against israelis in israel and so the point has past where israel should exercise in this degree of force. professor, thank you very much for joining us. thank you having me. in the aftermath of this year's cannes film festival, a new generation of young british filmmakers have returned, basking in the glory of success. all the british-funded films competing at the festival picked up prizes. bbc talking movies reporter emma jones has been finding out more.

this week as filmmakers return from cannes the festival has been seen as a major triumph for british cinema. for decades british success at the cannes film festival is embodied by filmmaking giants, but they are now in their 80s and new talent is being sought. this year, 28 you are british actor harris dickinson will soon play john lennon beatles by opec and was part of a new british invasion. he received critical acclaim as a direct individual selection this year with his first film, urchin. i was looking for some work. it does another brett, frank delaine as a young homeless man trying to rehabilitate himself and is set in and around east london stop you will get lunch -- you don't get lunch. you bring your lunch. as everyone else have lunch? i didn't bring lunch. but as dickinson explained, he wanted it to be more than a

social realism film. separate to the realism and their story, i wanted it to be a bit of a fable, you know, with the idea that f8 kinda pulls you back to something. delaine got the best actor prize at the festival, aside to the competition. and the winner of best screenplay in the same section went to pillion, the first film and stirring swedish actor alexander scars god. a love story at a queer motorbike club. this may not like the kind of cannes soiree but the festival is very famous. there is real purpose behind this reception. the major players in the british film institute have joined forces in order to promote the british films at the festival, and in doing so, hope to introduce a whole new generation of directors to cinema audiences. we are

handing the keys of the kingdom to the next generation, you know, we have two. britain has also chosen to highlight stories from directors with heritage from outside britain. nigeria had its first-ever movie in official selection this year with my father's shadow. a betrayal of nigeria in 1993 stirring show pattaya reserve. from hit tv series gangs of london. you think you are safe here? it's director, nigerian british filmmaker got a special mention from the camera door prize, the honour cannes hands up best first feature film, after it was universally acclaimed by critics. people coming up to me in london or here and being nigerian and expressing a lot of pride and joy, and i think, yeah, i think it is a real

moment for the film industry as well. it just goes to show that our stories can exist in a global conversation. a new british star has also been launched at cannes this year with wes anderson's new film. 24-year-old mia freckleton with mum is kate winslet more than squared up to the dictator tycoon character in the film that is a tender father daughter story will be told him out's style. i remember being about 12 years old and thinking i really, really want to work with wes anderson one day! and then i'm 23 and i got to do that. british film faces the same challenges of anywhere else, but this was a good festival for them, anticipating a new wave of british talent committed to cinema.
