live from washington. this is bbc news. the man mistakenly deported from maryland to el salvador, returns to the us - to face human trafficking charges. we are here today to announce a major update in an important case. abrego garcia has landed in the united states to face justice. donald trump says elon musk has lost his mind - as the fallout between the us president and world's richest man rumbles on. the bbc investigates a controversial us and israel-backed aid foundation, that says it has handed out a million of meals to people in gaza.

hello, welcome. we begin with a developing story here in the us. kilmar abrego garcia, the man mistakenly deported from maryland to el salvador by the trump administration, is back in the united states. the news was confirmed by us attorney general pam bondi on friday afternoon - and we are expecting him to make his first court appearance any moment - in the state of tennessee. mr abrego garcia faces federal charges for allegedly transporting undocumented migrants within the united states. he was deported to el salvador on march 15th, despite a judge's order that granted him protection from deportation on the grounds that he could face persecution by gangs if returned to his home country. trump administration officials defend his deportation by alleging that mr abrego garcia was a member of the ms-13 gang - though his lawyers deny that.

if convicted of any crimes, the attorney general said that mr abrego garcia would serve his sentence in the us and then be returned to el salvador. the case has become a flash point between the us executive and the judicial branch, which has ruled against a number of president trump's immigration policies. our government presented el salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him to our country. we are grateful to president bukele for returning him to our country to face these very serious charges. this is what american justice looks like. upon completion of his sentence we anticipate he will be returned to his home country of el salvador. el salvador's president, nayib bukele took to social media, repeating unsubstantiated allegations that mr abrego garcia is a gang member. he posted on x: "i would never smuggle "a terrorist into the us.

"that said, we work with the trump administration "and if they request the return of a gang member to "face charges, of course we wouldn't refuse." and chris van hollen, the senator for mr abrego garcia's home state of maryland made headlines by visiting el salvador in search of his missing constituent. he's now released a statement saying, in part: "for months "the trump administration flouted the supreme court "and our constitution. "today, they appear to have finally relented... "this is not about the man, it's about his rights "and the rights of all. "the administration will now have to make its case "in the court of law, as it should have all along." joining me now is lee gelernt, lawyer at the american civil liberties union's national office in new york. welcome and good to have you on the programme. let's just start with that initial development. kilmar abrego garcia back in the united states, more than two months after the trump administration admitted that it

mistakenly deported him, your reaction. this is very significant, as he said. i think a couple of things. one, it is a bit coincidental that all of a sudden when the supreme court has said, you must bring him back because he was erroneously deported, bring him back in the normal way, all of the sudden there are charges against him -- charges, but i cannot speak to the specific charges so i will put that aside. i think the larger picture is that it shows the administration has always had the ability to get people out of el salvador. in our case involving the use of the alien enemies act, there are at least a men sitting there who never had due process with the judge in our case this week said who must be brought back who must facilitate the return because they did not have due process, they did not have the chance to defend themselves and they are sitting in one of the notorious prisons in the world, more akin to a glock in a prison so i

think the larger take away here is that what we've always known, the united states can't get people out of el salvador and indeed we are paying for their detention. we will touch on what you think the impact will be with regards to other migrants in a moment, but i want to ask about the process going forward from here, abrego garcia's attorney saying they will keep fighting because they want to make sure that he receives a fair trial here in the united states, your thoughts on that, what that needs to look like? i think it needs to look like the normal criminal process and so many assume he will get the normal criminal process and a fair trial in tennessee until we see otherwise but as the senator said, the government will now have to prove these charges, they have been in the waiting various things on social media, it is a very different story where they will accept approved charges in court. the administration has said today that if he is found guilty he

would serve his sentence here in the united states, after which he would be deported. is that satisfactory, legally speaking? that is often the normal process. he will have to have another immigration proceeding after he serves the sentence, but it is not uncommon, if you are convicted in a court of law, you serve the sentence in the united states and then you often are deported. so it is like double punishment, but that is fairly standard in the united states. let's touch then on the other migrants who were also on that flight. and others who have been on flights since. what do you think this development means for their cases as well particularly for those who have been deported without due process? i am hopeful that it reaffirms what the court has already said this week, that

those men need to come back, that they were removed under what is called the aliens and any act, it is a wartime authority only been used three times in our country's history, altering world wars or the war of 1812. the judge said, look, you cannot just send people to a foreign prison without any due process. the united states government needs to facilitate the return and again, there is at least 100 men in there, maybe well more under the alien enemies act. we will see the government has until next week to come up a plan to facilitate their return. we will see how the government handles that. but this is just one more piece of confirmation that the united states can get people out of el salvador, i think everyone is always known that, but this is just further confirmation. nevertheless, it has taken two months in the case of kilmar abrego garcia. do you think then that we will see these over 100 men for example returned to the united states

now, in light of all of the steps, that including you have taken as part of the aclu in this case to see one man returned? rights, i wish i could say it would happen smoothly and quickly, but i think realistically given the way this administration has acted, we expect they are either going to try and stonewall before the district court judge or they're going to appeal it perhaps all the way to the us supreme court. so i think we're in for a long fight, but we are prepared for that. but these men have now been 83 days since march 15 and that is a long time to be in basically a torture prison. so we are going to keep fighting, but we are not expecting the administration just a rollover. lawyer at the american civil liberties union national office in new york, thank you for coming on the programme. us president donald trump

is moving on without his one-time adviser elon musk, after thursday's explosive fallout between the two men. in a blitz of comments to us media, including our partner cbs news, president trump says he isn't interested in making up with the tech billionaire in the wake of their extraodinary online feud. mr musk was once an enthusiastic backer of the president - throwing his support behind the republican nominee during the 2024 election. but in the past week since leaving his job at the white house, the tesla and spacex ceo began voicing opposition to mr trump's flagship budget bill, which is making its way through congress. mr trump brushed off the criticism at first, but the war of words escalated sharply on thursday, with mr musk taking aim at the president directly across dozens of social media posts. in another attack, musk linked president trump - without evidence - to the convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein.

on friday, president trump highlighted a social media post from one of mr epstein's attorneys, david schoen, which said: "i was hired to lead "jeffrey epstein's defence as his criminal lawyer nine "days before he died. "he sought my advice for months before that... "i can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively "that he had no information to hurt president trump. "i specifically asked him!" mr musk is also walking back his threat to decommission a space capsule used to take astronauts and supplies to the international space station. his warning to withdraw spacex's dragon capsule came after president trump threatened to slash mr musk's contracts with the us government. his companies including tesla, spacex and starlink have direct business ties to the federal government - benefitting from an array of government programmes and incentives. mr musk's rocket company, spacex, has received tens of billions of dollars from the us government over the last decade,

including from the us space agency nasa, and the department of defense. joining me now is ryan mac, technology reporter at the new york times. very good to have you with us full so late. many people believe this bat was bound to happen, those tough words continue, but to you see this argument, this falling out being resolved in the future at all? it is hard to say but in terms of what has been set at this point, i do not see a way back for elon musk. he has said some unforgivable things in trump world linking donald trump to jeffrey epstein for example. saying donald trump would not have won the election without him. these are very stinging barbs that have crossed the line and i don't know if there are any ways of mending this relationship. we know mr trump has threatened to cancel government contracts with mr musk's companies do you

see that coming to fruition? these two men are closely intertwined including when it comes to business interests. it is certainly a possibility. both of these men are quite vindictive. donald trump is shown a propensity to use whatever means are in front of him to go after his perceived enemies. if that means cancelling contracts like he has threatened yesterday and has talked about today, it is all within the realm of possibility. spacex is heavily reliant on those us contracts as well will stop at the same time the government is also pretty reliant on spacex to get things into space. it is one of the only companies that reliably launches and so there is like you said a reliance there, but it will come down to who blinks first. wright on the other side of that elon musk's companies and even heard reports today that the president is looking at selling his tesla, what do you think

this means for elon musk's companies? it was not long ago that donald trump was on the other, on the white house schilling test less from the white house lawn. saying these cars were great and it shows that it was all a show because as soon as this is flipped he was ready to get rid of those cars. yes, it is not a good look. i think elon musk is a of potential customers by aligning himself with donald trump and now he is a man without a political home right now now that he's alienated donald trump. wonder what you think with regards to the silicon valley billionaires, the founders out there, these are two incredibly powerful men, ultimately, who do you think they decide to side with your? i think it will be dependent on their situation but a lot of them followed the lawn in, he

blazed the trail to align themselves with trump and now that they are all here -- they followed elon musk and, now that they are all here they are watching this with a lot of worry and a lot of concern. but for the most part i think the interest of the tech industry are pretty aligned with what the trip administration has put forth especially on things like ai, on competition with china for example. i am assuming that a lot of those tech executives will not want to rock the boat and the way that elon has very clearly done here. you said that elon musk for the time being appears to be somewhat politically homeless, he had put up this survey on x saying, "does there need to be a new political party". what do you see elon musk the man doing now, does he keep a hand in politics even if it does not side by side with the trip administration? i think he is experienced that power and he has enjoyed it, being able to

influence elections and spend his money and throw his weight around. a couple of minutes ago he actually tweeted the name of the party he will call it the america party. he is claiming to have support for in claiming that there are people that express interest in having the centrist party that or supposed centrist party that he is talking about. but he is relying on a twitter poll, a poll on x to make this decision. we will see. i think right now he is concerned a lot of people, i don't know if a lot of republicans will side with him at this point. it would take a lot to go back on donald trump and to cross donald trump. like i said, he is looking for a political home. interesting insights there, the technology reporter at newark times joining us from angeles. thank

where they finished 17th after losing 22 of their 38 matches.

you're live with bbc news. palestinians in gaza have marked the start of eid amid renewed israeli air strikes. praying. thousands held prayers outside destroyed mosques, marking one of islam's most important holidays. but devastation and food shortages cast a shadow over the celebrations. our sebastian usher has more from jerusalem. the toll of the war in gaza as it continues has been made clear once again today. we have heard from local health officials in gaza that more than 30 palestinians were killed in israeli strikes, but also the israeli army said four of its soldiers were killed in the southern city of khan younis as they were entering

a building to check it if there were militants who had established any kind of control centres there. and the army says that it was booby-trapped, it exploded and four soldiers were killed and five others were wounded. prime minister netanyahu described it as a sad and difficult day but said they had given their lives, sacrificed their lives for the safety of everyone in israel. we have also seen the aid issues continue for the palestinians, still a desperate situation, this new aid mechanism the gaza humanitarian foundation. there was some confusion earlier in the day whether it would open two of the sites open on thursday, they did open, but we heard from the gaza humanitarian foundation later that they closed earlier than they were meaning to because there was overcrowding and that it was unsafe to continue. so about a third of the food that it had delivered the previous day was given to palestinians. so there are so big questions over that mechanism.

there was also a warning from the israeli army to palestinians who might be heading towards an aid distribution centre telling them they should only do that essentially in the hours when there is light, so from six in the morning until six in evening and that any other time that they are moving, they are heading towards any the centres, it should be regarded as too dangerous to do so. that raises big questions over how palestinians will be able to make their way to these distribution centres if they are going to open up early in the morning. we've seen tens of thousands of people go because there are so few of these sites. just two of them are open today, two of them yesterday. so naturally, palestinians, some of them from quite long distances are making that trek towards the site. it seems almost impossible that they would be able to do it in those hours between six in the morning and six in the evening, unless the gaza

humanitarian foundation is able to time the opening of their site to such an extent that it works for people to be able to and to be able to get as much as the supplies as they can in the way that avoids the things that we had earlier in the week for three days when many were killed or wounded. eyewitnesses saying that they were shot by israeli troops. obviously the israeli army in the gaza humanitarian foundation are hoping that there will not be a repeat of that although neither have accepted most of those accounts saying that most of them are fabrications by hamas, although the israeli army did concede that its troops did open fire, at least at one point, on what they saw as suspects approaching them on in a threatening manner. sebastian usher reporting. the controversial us and israeli-backed group at the centre of handing out aid from israeli military-secured hubs in gaza says the equivalent of 8 million meals have been handed out to people since it began operations last week.

the us-israeli backed gaza humanitarian foundation have been heavily criticised by the un for politicising aid, and as tom bateman reports, what we actually know about the organisation largely remains a mystery. the future of gaza currently rests in rural america. the foundation supposed to feed its population was registered here two weeks after donald trump took office. i went to try and find it. for the rooms, the candles and the firewood that we used. a quaint town as distanced as it gets from gaza's trauma. the foundation was an american-israeli idea, meant to cut out the un as the major food supplier to palestinians, but critics see it as entrenching israeli control over gaza, militarising aid. so this building is where the gaza humanitarian foundation is registered. it's its registered address. but inside here is actually a registration agent,

so the foundation doesn't actually exist here at all. i asked some questions to the agents here. they gave me the numbers of their lawyers and said i should talk to them for more details. and when i asked why the foundation might register here, but not be here, they said, well, it's because they don't want to be bothered. we got hold of the group's registration papers naming an unknown attorney as its president and, crucially, revealing nothing about who funds it. if you were interested in helping suffering people, you'd let the un do their job. the un agency for palestinians is highly critical of the new project. i cannot fathom, as a un employee or even as an american, how the world can accept this circumstance, how the world can say four places in gaza designed to pen people into a small area with a hunger games distribution network is acceptable.

they say, of course, this is about denying aid falling into the hands of hamas. this is just a made-up excuse in order to create a system that looks like it's helping people, without actually helping people. the foundation says it's handed out millions of meals, but it's been steeped in controversy. dozens of people were killed this week making their way to one of its sites, with the israeli military investigating accounts many were shot by its forces. i've been in touch with the foundation's new spokesman, but they're still declining interview requests and haven't answered many of our questions. paul has been forwarded to voicemail. we are committed to building a great wall of christian zionism all over the world. this man, reverend johnnie moore, has now been named the foundation's chairman. he's a pro-israel christian evangelical preacher and pr executive, who was among a group who prayed for donald trump in the oval office. in an article for fox news, he called this a week of "success" for the gaza

humanitarian foundation, attacking "pearl-clutching activist humanitarians" and claiming, without evidence, the established aid system was corrupt. the gaza humanitarian foundation press released pictures of palestinians thanking president trump. but the main ingredients of this aid are its politics, from a group opponents say is shrouded in secrecy, weaponising food and shutting out those who could get to the most needy in gaza. tom bateman, bbc news, delaware. president trump says his chinese counterpart, xi jinping has agreed to restart the flow of rare earth minerals and magnets from china - and that the two are very far advanced on a trade deal. he was speaking aboard air force one on friday. it comes as trade representatives of the two countries get ready for talks in london on monday. president trump initially ordered tariffs of 145%

on some items from china, but under a truce that was struck in may, the us lowered those import taxes on beijing to 30%, to allow for talks. and finally, a new study has found that cutting off a rhino's horn is the most effective and economical method of deterring poachers. a conservation assessment in south africa found that removing the horn under sedation, which doesn't harm the animal, reduced poaching by nearly 80% between 2017 and 2023. rhinos are at significant threat of extinction. it is the material in their horns that puts them at risk, which is commonly used for traditional medicine in china, vietnam and other asian countries. remember for the very latest you can go to our website that is bbc news .com. the latest there including the live blog on the return of mr abrego garcia. more on that story the

hello and welcome to talking business. here's what's on the programme this week. a data hack causes months of chaos at one of britain's biggest and most iconic retailers, marks & spencer. so should you ever pay a ransom if hackers get into your business systems? i always say to people, "you haven't got a good decision. "you've got two bad options, and you have to decide "which is the least bad option to go for." official guidance is not to pay the cyber attackers, but many companies do. so how can you be prepared if hackers get in and demand your money or threaten some big data damage? we'll hear what it's like inside a negotiation from someone who spent years doing deals on behalf of victims. and i'll be talking to ciaran martin, the man in charge at the uk's new cyber monitoring centre. he also set up and ran the country's national cyber security centre. and later in the show - another big power move,
