we will have more on that later in the programme. sport and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. hello from the bbc sport centre. we start with tennis where it's been a day of milestone comeback victories for two former grand slam champions. after almost a year out, rafael nadal looked like he'd never been away as he eased past dominic thiem in the first round of the brisbane international, while emma raducanu also won herfirst match back on the court in auckland — after 259 days out with injury. our tennis correspondent russell fuller watched both matches. two impressive comebacks from players who have been out nearly a yearin players who have been out nearly a year in brisbane in the pat rafter arena. nadalwas year in brisbane in the pat rafter arena. nadal was very good as he beat dominic thiem 7—5, 6—1, reeling off many of his greatest hits in the first few games of the match alone, an exceptionally good performance, but nadal says it is about backing

it up and improve week after week match after match after he recovers from a hip operation lastjune. as for emma raducanu, that was also very encouraging. she won a very tight match after twice serving for it at 5—2 in the third set, only to have her serve broken twice, she managed to win that deciding set 7—5. she was on court 2.5 hours and she served pretty well for much of the match and it was a very encouraging return for a woman who used to be the british number one but returns at 301 in the world rankings after nearly nine months out. meanwhile, the current world number one novak djokovic beat jiri lehecka at the united cup — but his victory wasn't straightforward. djokovic won the match in three sets to draw serbia level with the czech republic — but suffered with a wrist injury and was not chosen to play in the deciding doubles match — which serbia won to win the tie 2—i. no issues post match — as djokovic showed he was a man of many talents —

have a listen to this. 7 congratulations. you have a huge fan base in china. maybe they will be a bit upset because the chinese team have lost. maybe you could speak some chinese? laughter very impressive! the spanish footballer, jenni hermoso, has testified to a madrid court that a kiss from the country's football federation president luis rubiales was "not consensual". rubiales kissed hermoso on the lips after spain won the world cup last year. a judge will now decide whether mr rubiales should be tried for sexual assault and coercion. rubiales denies the allegations. in england, wayne rooney's time as birmingham city manager is over — afterjust 83 days.

he's been sacked afterjust 15 games in charge, following a dismal run of form. birmingham were in the top six when rooney took over. but after just two wins since then, the club are down to 20th and just six points off the relegation zone. a huge night awaits 16 year old luke littler as he hopes to continue his darts dream. the youngest player to ever win a match at the pdc world championship is back in action for the semi finals tonight — where he'll take on fellow englishman, and 2018 champion, rob cross in the final four. littler has already won £100,000 in prize money — if he goes all the way and wins the tournament, he would earn himself five hundred thousand... ..ad make history. unbelievable. i know that i got the ability to go all the way. i know i've got a good chance.

and i know in myself i've got a good feeling that i can go all the way now. and that's all the sport for now. the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says more than 22,000 palestinians have now been killed since the start of israels military campaign. a statement said more than 200 people had been killed by israeli strikes in the past 2a hours. israeli forces have stepped up their bombardment of khan younis in southern gaza, where tens of thousands of displaced people have sought refuge. israel said its troops had killed dozens of militants in the north of the gaza strip in the past day. live now to our correspondent shaimaa khalil injerusalem. let's talk about the latest on the ground in gaza. what more can you say about the activity today? it is interesting. _ say about the activity today? it is interesting, the _ say about the activity today? it 3 interesting, the israeli bombardment intensifies and it shows no sign of letting up, at a time when the israeli army had announced the

withdrawal of troops, combat and reservists, and using different tactics going forward in the war. we are not seeing the effect of that at the moment but we are seeing a continuation of the bombardment. in the city of khan younis in the south, intensification of both tanks and air strikes reported by civilians, and we also understand that children are among the casualties that were taken to hospital overnight. what you get from that is further displacement from that is further displacement from khan younis and according to the un, rafah the small city is now the un, rafah the small city is now the most populated city in gaza, people have been twice displaced now and i are sitting out in the open using flimsy pieces of plastic to live in makeshift shelters —— and they are sitting. the worry is not just the humanitarian aid is not coming in as much as needed, because the area itself has been under

bombardment, it is not safe for the distribution of the little aid that comes in but also there is a great deal of disease spreading and worrying at who officials. if you take a look at central gaza, one town here is where people were told town here is where people were told to go by the israeli army to take shelter from the bombardment of the three refugee camps they were told to evacuate. the town itself has seen some shelling and some air strikes. the problem with that is that as the military campaign expands, especially with the ground offensive, the safe areas for people to go keep shrinking but also it becomes much more difficult for humanitarian aid notjust to be delivered but to be safely distributed. i delivered but to be safely distributed.— delivered but to be safely distributed. . ., ., distributed. i have read that the israeli defence _ distributed. i have read that the israeli defence minister- distributed. i have read that the israeli defence minister has - distributed. i have read that the i israeli defence minister has visited gaza today, any more about that visit? , ., ., ., gaza today, any more about that visit? , . ., . , , gaza today, any more about that visit? , ., ., ., , , ., visit? these are normal visits and we have seen _ visit? these are normal visits and we have seen benjamin _ visit? these are normal visits and | we have seen benjamin netanyahu visit the troops in gaza now we have seen the defence minister visit the

troops, and it goes with the reiteration of israel, that this war will go on. it was interesting hearing the army spokesperson in the new year making the address, saying, we are relieving some reservists and some troops, but make no mistake of the war is going to keep going. the israeli army and the israeli government are under pressure from the us to scale down the military action which has resulted in, we have passed the 22,000 death threshold now according to the hamas run health ministry, and use more targeted tactics, and what you are seeing is an increase and intensification of bombardment until we see the effect will be those troops from the ground in gaza. i wanted to ask you, you talk about pressure on benjamin netanyahu from the us, but from his own quarters as

well, so tell us what happened yesterday in the supreme court and what reaction we have heard today? this could not have come at a worse time for netanyahu's government, and this is the result of the unprecedented convening of the 15 supremejudges of the unprecedented convening of the 15 supreme judges of the highest court in the country and they overturned a government law that was put in place injuly called the reasonableness bill and what it did was take away the supreme court's ability to stop a government's action or decision if it were deemed extremely unreasonable, and what the supreme court yesterday did, they took their powers back essentially and told the government that they are going to keep them in check. before the october seven deadly attacks on 0ctober seven deadly attacks on israel by hamas, before the war in gaza, israel experienced unprecedented division and turmoil with hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets and asking and

calling on the prime minister to step down because they think that this judicial overhaul that he and his right—wing government have introduced is a threat to democracy and what we saw yesterday was the supreme court fighting back and standing its ground.— standing its ground. thanks for “oininu standing its ground. thanks for joining us- _ the spanish footballer, jenni hermoso, has been giving evidence in court in the sexual allegation case involving luis rubiales, the former president of the spanish football federation. he's accused of kissing ms hermoso on the lips against her will, after their world cup victory last august. he's sought to portray the kiss as consensual. live now to our madrid correspondent guy hedgecoe. this was a much publicised case and i understand thatjenni hermoso has given evidence behind closed doors.

do we know any more about she said? yes, we have heard reports about what she said to the investigating judge inside the court earlier today. we are told she reiterated her position which was that the case that luis rubiales gave her was not consensual —— kiss. she felt it was an attack on her and she in no way consented to that kiss. she also talked about what she said were pressures she was put under by luis rubiales and people who were in his circle after that kiss took place and the backlash that followed. she said he tried to pressure her to come out in public and support him and say that it was consensual. so thatis and say that it was consensual. so that is part of the investigation going on at the moment into that possible coercion as well as the possible coercion as well as the possible sexual assault that has

been investigated as well. now the judge must decide where the case will go and if there are grounds to put luis rubiales on trial for sexual assault, and coercion or not. this is the first stage in what could be a lengthy process? yes. this is the first stage in what could be a lengthy process? yes, it could be a lengthy process? yes, it could be. could be a lengthy process? yes, it could be- the _ could be a lengthy process? yes, it could be. the spanish _ could be a lengthy process? yes, it could be. the spanish justice - could be a lengthy process? yes, it. could be. the spanish justice system often moves quite slowly and this was the final hearing in this investigation that the judges are carrying out and this is arguably the most important because it was jenni hermoso herself who was testifying but we don't know yet when a decision will come from this judge regarding whether or not there will be a trial luis rubiales and it could be a matter of weeks or months, we don't know when the trial itself would begin either. but certainly the fact that this investigation has now finished is seen as very significant. indeed.

thanks for— seen as very significant. indeed. thanks forjoining _ seen as very significant. indeed. thanks forjoining us. _ around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news bringing you different stories from across the uk. it's been a year of new beginnings for anna and nastia, starting a new business, making new memories and learning a new language. it was so interesting, a fascinating year, to be honest. and while studying the pair have managed tojuggle their business which sells homemade candles made in this workshop. it's a big deal for us. we spend a lot of time, our energy. we want to do something what we will really like. i think it's a huge step for us.

they've been really involvedl in all the crafts with the kids. i don't actually know what i'm i going to do when they eventually leave because like they did all the easter bonnets - and then for christmas, they - decorated the house at halloween. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. last month, an inquest found that an official inspection of a school in reading in southern england had contributed to the death of headteacher ruth perry, who took her own life. her family have called for "root and branch" reform of the body which carries out inspections, 0fsted. now the new chief inspector says the organisation's process needs to be "far more empathetic". in his first interview since taking charge of 0fsted, sir martyn 0liver said lessons must be learned. 0ur education editor branwen jeffreys reports. hisjob matters for children and parents. the new boss of 0fsted will oversee inspections, including schools.

schools facing the challenges left by the covid lockdowns. it's a difficultjob 0fsted has to do, because ultimately we also have to be about high standards. but i think we can do that in a way which is far more empathetic. an 0fsted inspection at this primary contributed to the suicide of head teacher ruth perry. the coroner has warned more lives are at risk without changes. i'm determined that we shall learn those lessons. do you think the tone of 0fsted's response to ruth perry's death was correct? well, i don't think it went far enough, and i'm quite clear on that. there's clearly been been a lot of criticism, and we must accept that criticism in order to have a fresh start and move on. so, what do you want to do, now that you're taking over 0fsted? so, he told me mental—health training for inspectors is a top priority — before any routine inspections restart later in january. but he also wants to listen to parents.

at a soft—play centre in huddersfield, a group of mums meet regularly. most use 0fsted as part of choosing schools. 0fsted is a good thing in that it helps people give a measure of a school, it helps find out problems with a school. my opinion's probably changed... yeah _ ..because i think, at the end of the day, the school experience is based on the teachers and the other pupils, rather than any reports or any outcomes. today, head teachers�* unions welcomed the more open tone from 0fsted, but said ministers should scrap one— or two—word judgements of schools. a single—word judgement can be applied to two schools in very, very different positions — so they don't really work, so we're going to have to modify that. but the government uses those single—word judgements right now to determine whether it should intervene in schools or not. so we would have to find another way, but i'm sure we can do that. 0fsted needs to rebuild trust

with schools and headteachers, and some of its credibility. and that's important, because parents rely on 0fsted. he's got a tough reputation, but some change can only be made by government. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. live now to president of the national association of head teachers, simon kidwell. thanks forjoining us. what is your reaction to the comments from sir martin 0liver? the reaction to the comments from sir martin oliver?— reaction to the comments from sir martin oliver? . ., , ., , martin oliver? the comments he has made today — martin oliver? the comments he has made today is _ martin oliver? the comments he has made today is encouraging, - martin oliver? the comments he has made today is encouraging, that - martin oliver? the comments he has made today is encouraging, that he i made today is encouraging, that he wants to learn lessons from the tragedy that happened and also the reports we are getting from our members about the impact that inspections have on their mental health. ~ ., ., inspections have on their mental health. ~ . ~ ., , ., health. what kind of things to your members say _ health. what kind of things to your members say they _ health. what kind of things to your members say they face _ health. what kind of things to your members say they face when - members say they face when inspections happen?-

inspectors have to get through, they have to do an enormous amount of work over those two days and that is leading to tensions as to why they judge everything —— as to while they judge everything —— as to while they judge everything —— as to while they judge everything from safeguarding to things like the music room. i see that actually do get a one or two word conclusion as a report, and the government says it has no plans to change those judgments but the labour party says it would move to a report card system which would be more expensive, listing strengths and areas for improvement. what and areas for improvement. what would ou and areas for improvement. what would you favour— and areas for improvement. what would you favour is _ and areas for improvement. what would you favour is a _ and areas for improvement. what would you favour is a process in terms of a final report? —— more expansive. terms of a final report? -- more exoansive-_ terms of a final report? -- more expansive. distilling a school into one sinale expansive. distilling a school into one single word _ expansive. distilling a school into one single word or _ expansive. distilling a school into one single word or a _ expansive. distilling a school into one single word or a phrase - expansive. distilling a school into one single word or a phrase is - one single word or a phrase is impossible and we need to look into that and a single word judgment has had its day. i don't think they tell parents anything significant. we have got schools in my area in cheshire that have not had

inspections for 12 years since the london olympics and they are still classed as outstanding but those judgments are out of date so we need to look at the system and give parents the credibility to be able to read a report about the strengths and there is developments at a school. . ., ., ., ., ., school. simon, from the national association _ school. simon, from the national association of _ school. simon, from the national association of head _ school. simon, from the national association of head teachers, - school. simon, from the national. association of head teachers, thanks forjoining us. she's been nicknamed polar preet — preet chandi, a british army officer already holds two world records for antarctic trekking — now she's set for a third. captain preet believes she's become the world's fastest woman to complete a solo south pole ski expedition — covering more than eleven—hundred kilometres of antarctic ice in just 31 days, 13 hours and 19 minutes. she's waiting for the guinness world records to verify her feat. captain preet chandi joins us live

news website. hello. storm henk continues itsjourney eastwards across the uk. this area of low pressure has been named by the met office, bringing heavy rain, just exacerbating the risk of flooding and also some very strong winds. a met office amber warning for the strength of the wind through this swathe of south wales and southern england into the south midlands. inland gusts of 60 miles per hour or maybe more. gusts of 80 miles per hour around some exposed coasts on the southern flank of this area of low pressure, which is also bringing heavy and persistent rain to many parts of england and wales. that rain fringing into southern scotland. also outbreaks of rain across the northern isles turning to snow across shetland. there will also be gales here. and then through the night it will stay quite blustery both in the north east and in the south of the uk. much of the persistent rain clearing, but plenty of showers following on behind.

not a particularly cold night. and then for wednesday, well, low pressure still very much in charge of the scene. still plenty of isobars on the chart here across the south. so it will stay windy, also very windy up towards the north east of scotland. the winds only slowly easing through the day. across shetland, a mix of rain and snow. elsewhere, some showers of rain equally with some spells of sunshine in between. temperatures, though, if anything, dropping back by a degree or two. north to south, we're looking at highs between six and 11 degrees, but just two degrees there across shetlands. and then as we head through wednesday night and into thursday, we see this next weather system running in from the southwest. this is going to bring some outbreaks of heavy rain, particularly across the channel islands and southern counties of england. it may be that the rain just edges a little bit further north than this. elsewhere, sunny spells, scattered showers, not as windy by this stage. and again, those temperatures dropping backjust a little —

6 to 10 degrees for most of us. and then a change in the weather for the end of the week. low pressure will slowly but surely loosen its grip, high pressure building from the west and also building from the east. that will tend to settle things down. it'll give more in the way of dry weather, but this will also introduce some somewhat colder air. now, we're not looking at anything unusual or extreme for this time of year, butjust colder than it has been. those temperatures dropping back to or even below the average for the time of year. lots of dry weather — frost and fog by night. any showers in places could be wintry.

live from london. this is bbc news. japan's prime minister confirms that five coastguard crew have been killed in a collision between two planes at tokyo's haneda airport. all 379 passengers and crew managed to escape the japan airlines aircraft — before it was engulfed by flames. ijust came here to pick up a friend and luckily they got off the flight, but they aren't able to get their bags. and it was pretty scary. like the whole airport kind of just froze. this is the scene live at haneda airport where the fire is now under control searching for survivors — japanese officials say at least 48 people have died and many others are trapped beneath rubble after monday's powerful earthquake.
