israel's military says it has now �*completed the dismantling' of hamas' military framework in northern gaza. and three years since supporters of donald trump stormed the us capitol, we'll reflect on what happened onjanuary 6th, a date that still divides america. us aviation officials have ordered the temporary grounding of more than 170 boeing 737 max 9 passenger planes — after a window and section of fuselage blew out in mid—air during a flight. the alaska airlines plane had 177 people on board friday when it was forced to make an emergency landing. no one was injured. the uk's civil aviation authority has said safety inspections need to be carried out before the planes
12:01 am
can enter uk airspace. in the last hours, boeing has issued this statement: passengers have spoken about how close some onboard came to being in danger. the bbc�*s graham satchell reports. pictures taken by a passenger on board flight 1282 not long after take—off. look closely and you can see a whole on the side of a plane. it looks like the window panel has been blown out. this is the pilot talking to air traffic control. more pictures again taken
12:02 am
by passengers show the full extent of the damage on what was a terrifying experience for those on board. all of a sudden i heard a big bang and i didn't know exactly what was going on. but i look up and the oxygen masks were hanging from the ceiling and i looked to my left and there is this huge chunk, part of the aeroplane missing. there was a kid in that role whose shirt was sent off and out of the plane. this is the latest incident involving boeing's best selling model launched in 2015. in 2018 a plane crashed shortly after take—off killing all 189 on board. five months later in march 2019 and ethiopian airlines plane was involved in a similar crashed killing all 157 passengers. that led to all 737 max being grounded by the federal aviation authority for the next 20 months.
12:03 am
after this latest incident alaska airlines grounded all 65 of its fleet for inspection, a quarter being given a clean bill of health tonight. just 20 minutes after take—off the flight made an emergency landing back at portland international airport in oregon. tonight the us federal aviation authority has ordered the temporary grounding of 171 boeings 737 as investigators try to work out exactly what happened. boeing has said they will cooperate with any investigation. let's bring you more about what boeing said at least 11 people, including five children, have been killed in a russian missile strike in eastern ukraine, according to local officials. at least six houses were destroyed in the city of pokrovsk, which sits around 80 kilometers from the front line of fighting. a raid on the city in august
12:04 am
left nine people dead and more than eighty injured. our correspondent in kyiv, james waterhouse, has more. this eastern town of pokrovsk, it's not a big place. before the full scale invasion, around 60,000 people lived there, but gradually people have been returning to their homes, despite officials are saying, look, it's not safe because of the constant shelling and missile attack that it is at risk of. we were there a few months ago and you certainly get a sense of how close you are to the fighting. it is where civilians and soldiers rub shoulders. nevertheless, we have this reported attack now where the russians are accused of using the types of missiles used in air defence systems, where they are launched from the ground, on pokrovsk and the surrounding area. several houses have been destroyed, we are told, and we are seeing rescue teams sifting through the rubble. it is a very prevalent
12:05 am
threat for pokrovsk. last august there was a bombardment which saw nine people killed around the town's main hotel and restaurant, and i think this is the reality now for settlements close to the front line. so rescue teams are going to continue trying to find anyone who may have survived. president zelensky in his evening address has said, look, russia needs to know that these attacks will be met with consequences. this week we have seen ukraine launch drone attacks across the border into russia, in response to moscow's biggest aerial bombardment of ukraine, so he is appearing more confident in wanting to respond to the constant missile attacks that russia launches against ukraine. the israeli military says it has "completed the dismantlng" of what it
12:06 am
calls hamas�*s military framework in northern gaza, after three months of fighting. an idf spokesman said about 8—thousand militants have been killed and tens of thousands of weapons seized. he said israel was now focused on dismantling hamas in the centre and south of gaza. the hamas—run health authorities say more than 22—thousand people — most of them women and children — have been killed in gaza since the war began; on friday the un called gaza �*uninhabitable'. nearly half of the territory's population is now displaced — and faces food, water and medical shortages. meanwhile: us secretary of state, antony blinken is on his latest visit to the middle east to stop the conflict widening into a regional war. a into a regionalwar. big part a into a regional war. big part of the conversation with a big part of the conversation with our partners is looking at the steps that they can take using the influence and ties that they have to do just that and make sure this conflict is not spread. it will be looking at what we can do to maximise the protection of the civilians and assistance getting into it
12:07 am
and assistance getting into it and also getting hostages out of gaza. for more on israel's ground offensive in gaza, our correspondent, wyre davis sent this update from jerusalem. still a lot of work to be done in central and southern parts of gaza and its message to critics and brought sceptics would like to work to be stopped or israel to go easy and shows from restraints and this city will continue until objectives are met and the release of hostages put international governments arrayed by the humanitarian situation in gaza and are also worried about the accidental expansion of this war and other countries like in the end those in the red sea and in lebanon
12:08 am
where there's been secondary fighting between the two and has been contained to the border next to assassination of the number two in beirut and are is a real worry that fighting could extend to much of northern israel and that is something the lebanese government does not want israel does not want initial national governments the american secretary of state in the region says he does not want but there is a real fear that could happen. today marks three years since a violent mob of donald trump's supporters breached the us capitol. after claiming for weeks — without evidence — that the election was rigged, mr trump rallied thousands of his supporters outside the white house. before encouraging them to march to the capitol. on that same day congress was in session to certify joe biden�*s 2020 election win, but members were forced to temporarily evacuate after the mob breached the complex. more than 2,000 rioters
12:09 am
entered the building, assaulting officers, ransacking the capitol, and looking for democrats. three years on americans continue to reflect on the violence. earlier i spoke to retired lieutenant general russel t honore, lead investigator of the us capitol security review task force — for his thoughts and recommendations three years after the insurrection. though shocked watching it unfold in real time and you investigated what happened on that day and watch you characterise with the authorities were confronted with. . , . authorities were confronted with. . . authorities were confronted with. ., . ., with. capital police were not reared with. capital police were not prepared for _ with. capital police were not prepared for what _ with. capital police were not prepared for what happened j prepared for what happened which was on the capital and they were prepared for a normal demonstration that happens around the capital throughout the year and even with the couple of hours of notice, they
12:10 am
did not have the number of people on and to protect the capital and keep people from coming again because they did not have enough officers to do that and another thing was the absence of the national guard being caught in a timely manner to assist the police and the thing that saved the day was the metropolitan police who came and even with that amount of help, the capital was still breached with damage inside the capital and forced entry into members offices, it was a failure in one way and that the breach the capital but because of how hard these officers fought, they were able to maintain enough control that they could, after former they could, afterformer president trump they could, after former president trump towards people to leave, they're able to

12:12 am
work to do and that work is not been done yet. they did do some improvements in communications and cameras we have a lot left to do in terms of making sure that back up and three years ago that should've been a national security event but it wasn't because of the time, that should been declared by the directive on the security but three years ago, he was off on foreign travel and it wasn't declared a national security event and we didn't have the proper number police on and to deal with the mob that attacked our capitol. deal with the mob that attacked our capitol-— our capitol. you say that more needs to _ our capitol. you say that more needs to be — our capitol. you say that more needs to be done _ our capitol. you say that more needs to be done by _ our capitol. you say that more needs to be done by pointing i needs to be done by pointing out the obvious but it is an election year, you can that something like this could happen again?— happen again? yes, i am

12:15 am
has focused on those who are polling in the top three — former president donald trump, florida governor ron desantis and former un ambassador nikki haley. polls suggest former president donald trump is firmly in the lead in iowa, where a caucus will happen on the 15th, and in new hampshire — which will hold its primary on the 23rd. 0bservers think haley and desantis are in a battle for second place with haley repeatedly facing questions about whether she would be trump's running mate if asked. nbc news correspondent dasha burns put that to her on friday. ido i do not play for second, i am not trying to be vice president for anyone, that should be enough. i am for anyone, that should be enough. iam running for anyone, that should be enough. i am running for president. six months from now, be happy to talk about will be my vice president.— my vice president. would you 'oin my vice president. would you join forces — my vice president. would you join forces to _ my vice president. would you join forces to try _ my vice president. would you join forces to try to _ my vice president. would you join forces to try to defeat - join forces to try to defeat donald trump?— join forces to try to defeat donald trump? i'm going to defeat donald _ donald trump? i'm going to defeat donald trump - donald trump? i'm going to defeat donald trump on - donald trump? i'm going to defeat donald trump on my| donald trump? i'm going to - defeat donald trump on my own and that is my goal if you want

12:26 am
although the rain has now largely eased and the number of flood warnings is continuing to steadily drop. but there are still plenty of them in place. so do take a look at the details on those on the bbc weather website. of course, it's a lot drier now than it has been recently. we're set to keep that dry weather as we head through the next few days. it's certainly feeling colder. temperatures closer to the seasonal average, frost and fog forming through the overnight periods. also some icy stretches with the ground so damp, too, and the high pressure is set to stick around as we head into next week. it's just blocking all of these atlantic systems pushing in from the west. so we should stay dry and settled with some showers perhaps towards the east. and we're starting off sunday morning with quite a widespread frost, although temperatures a little higher, just above freezing where we keep the layers of cloud fog lingering on for much of the morning yet again. it's going to be very slow to lift and close some very dense patches out there.
12:27 am
the sunshine very weak at this time of year, not doing too much to burn it back. but there will be a lot of sunshine around across scotland, northern england and northern ireland. sunny spells for england and wales, but always cloudier towards these north sea facing coasts with quite a noticeable northeasterly wind blowing a few showers onshore at times, but wintry over the north york moors and perhaps over the downs of kent. but these will be the days highs two to six degrees celsius, although in the north easterly wind it's going to feel a good few degrees colder than that. and it's more of the same as we head into monday. perhaps the breeze picking up a little across east anglia and the south east of england as we head through the day. so feeling colder once again, but some sunny spells around again. any fog could linger on for much of the morning, even into the afternoon, temperatures between three and five degrees celsius. but once again, i think some places could possibly feel subzero in exposure to that brisk northeasterly wind. it will be windier through the channel as well. and then into tuesday, we'll see more of a wind developing towards the south of england. and this will allow the cloud to break up a little more.
12:28 am
so more in the way of sunshine probably. but again, highs of only three to 6 degrees celsius, some fog and some low cloud further north. and here's the outlook for our capital cities as we head through the rest of the week. temperatures will rise a little as we head into thursday and friday. it's still looking mostly dry, bye bye.
