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. i'm helena humphrey. good to help you with us. —— good to have you with us. us aviation officials have ordered the temporary grounding of more than 170 boeing 737 max 9 passenger planes after a window and section of the aircraft blew out in mid—air during a flight. the alaska airlines plane had 177 people on board on friday when it was forced to make an emergency landing. no—one was injured. safety checks are being carried out on those boeing planes in the us.

the uk and european air safety authorities have also implemented inspection orders. 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 hole in the side of the plane. it looks like a window panel has been blown out. this is the pilot talking to air traffic control. more pictures, again taken by passengers, show the full extent of the damage in what was a terrifying experience

for those on board. all ofa sudden, i heard, like, 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 then, i looked to my left and there's this huge chunk, part of the airplane, just missing. there was a kid in that row who his shirt was sucked off him and out of the plane and his mother was holding on to him to make sure he didn't go with it. this is the latest incident involving boeing's best—selling model that was launched back in 2015. in october 2018, a 737 max operated by indonesian airline lion air crashed shortly aftertake—off, killing all 189 on board. five months later, in march 2019, an ethiopian airlines 737 max was involved in a similar crash, killing all 157 passengers. that incident led to all boeing 737 maxs being grounded by the us regulator, the federal aviation authority, for the next 20 months.

after this latest incident, alaska airlines grounded all 65 of their 737 max 9 fleet for inspection, a quarter of them being given a clean bill of health tonight. just 20 minutes after take—off, flight 1282 made an emergency landing back at portland international airport in 0regon. tonight, the us federal aviation administration has ordered the temporary grounding of 171 boeing 737 max 9s as investigators try to work out exactly what happened. boeing said it will cooperate with any investigation. graeme satchell, bbc news. for more, i spoke earlier to politico's aviation reporter, 0riana pawlyk. 0riana, thank you so much for being with us on bbc news. what more do we know to what could have caused part of a plane to blow out mid—air?

so, right now, investigators are looking at the cause as to why a panel over door ended up blowing out in mid flight and we know the flight took off from portland international airport and reached about 17,000 feet and the pressurisation issue, as the fa called it, occurred in it had to return instead of flying to california and many social media video showed how the panelling had been missing. luckily, there were no passengers seated next to where the blow—out was. to be sure that investigators are going to absolutely look into this, whether it was the speed, altitude or if there was something wrong with the manufacturing of the aircraft to lead to this blowing off in mid flight. thankfully, no—one was injured but very dramatic video on social media. is there a sense there, though, that this could've been worse? absolutely. you're ready to hear from lawmakers on multiple committees of transportation saying that they want an investigation here.

they want to know that it's safe that for the public to be on these flights. they've called for a grounding of these aircraft some until some of these inspections can be done and make sure that this panel door, which was non—operational whether or not this door blew off for any reason or faulty mechanics of some of the manufacturer did wrong and as we know, boeing have been in the hot seat before for manufacturing issues — especially with the 737 family. we saw in 2018—2019 of the two back—to—back fatal crashes that required the faa to stand them down. it is sitting in the hot seat and what kind of questions will this latest incident rates now for boeing? absolutely. it'is going to be whether or

not there was enough oversight here, whether there was a slip in the manufacturing process, again, why inspectors did not find it before it went into service. this is a very new aircraft and alaska only accepted it in october a few short weeks ago and whether or not how many flights is made, when it is done and why didn't get the proper inspection before it actually conducted these flights and why this is happening on the back end as opposed to the front end of some of this oversight. 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 80km from the front line of fighting. a raid on the city in august left nine people dead and more than 80 injured. 0ur 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 saying, look, it's not safe because of the constant shelling and missile attack that it is at risk of. you know, we were there a few months ago and you certainly get a sense of how close you are to the fighting. it's 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're launched from the ground, on pokrovsk and the surrounding area. several houses have been destroyed, we're told, and we're seeing rescue teams sifting through the rubble. it's a very prevalent 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've seen ukraine launch drone attacks across the border into russia in response to moscow's biggest aerial bombardment of ukraine, so he's appearing more confident in wanting to respond to the constant missile attacks that russia launches against ukraine. james waterhouse reporting. the israeli military says it has, quote, completed the dismantling of what it calls hamas's military framework in northern gaza after three months of fighting. an idf spokesman said about 8,000 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 22,000 people — most of them women and children — have been killed in gaza since the war began. on friday, the un called gaza,

quote, "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. we have an intense focus on preventing this conflict spreading. and a big part of the conversations we will be having over the coming days will all arise from the steps that our partners can take using the influence and ties that they have to do just that — like to make sure that this conflict doesn't spread. second, we will be looking at what we can do to maximise the protection of civilians, maximise humanitarian assistance getting into them and also to get hostages out of gaza. for more on secretary blinken�*s visit to the region and the latest on the war in ukraine, i spoke with barbara starr, senior fellow at the usc

annenberg center and long—time pentagon correspondent. barbara, as ever, great to see you. thanks for being on bbc news. the us secretary of state antony blinken is back touring the region once again and comes at a time that we've from hezbollah, saying it has launched a barrage of lockets into northern israel —— rockets. how concerned would washington be about this conflict spreading further, do you think? i conflict spreading further, do you think?— you think? i think they are auoin you think? i think they are going to — you think? i think they are going to be _ you think? i think they are going to be very _ you think? i think they are | going to be very concerned you think? i think they are - going to be very concerned and i think the concern is growing by the day when they see what hezbollah is doing and so, blinken has a full plate as it was the region. he needs to try and see what can be done to get any escalation between hezbollah in northern israel, southern lebanon, get that under control and still, of course, the main issue, gaza, the israelis talking about this

significant withdrawal at this time, at least. the idf israeli troops from gaza. but gaza is still a tragedy for the people there. it is really beyond fathom. there's lack of food, lack of water, lack of medical care, of shelter. winter is in full force in that particular region. and the hostages. i mean, we're not hearing much about but. 0ne mean, we're not hearing much about but. one can only assume that the secretary of state is talking to everybody about trying to restart some effort to get all of the hostages out and, in particular, american hostages out and americans who the us believes still may be trapped in gaza and simply unable to get out. barbara, while all — unable to get out. barbara, while all of _ unable to get out. barbara, while all of that _ unable to get out. barbara, while all of that goes - unable to get out. barbara, while all of that goes on - unable to get out. barbara, l while all of that goes on with those multitude of issues, of course, the war in ukraine continues as well and i do want to touch on it because we are

seeing now increasing reports that the administration here in the united states may be looking at switching attention away from the idea of a total victory against russia and more of a negotiated settlement which could see essentially some ground being given up to ukraine. that's something that washington has denied at the moment. but what do you make of those reports? do you think there is the prospect of that being considered estimate i think that thought, that strategy, has basically been lurking in the background since day one. is lurking in the background since da one. , day one. is there some negotiated _ day one. is there some | negotiated settlement? day one. is there some - negotiated settlement? now, of course, ukraine, the leadership there, zelensky, is adamantly opposed to that because that means giving over his territory to the russians and a very great sense that putin would not stop there and would continue his march for even more and more territory in

ukraine and come up right against nato's eastern flank so i think there's a good deal of opposition to that but what is the way ahead? again, in a way, it's very much like the israelis in gaza. is there a full victory to be had against russia? like the israelis with hamas? a full victory against russia? very unlikely. right now, what you hear a lot of talk, us officials, talk about is this is an election year in the united states. putin is exquisitely aware of that. he knows there are many in the us congress that are opposed to further aid to ukraine, he knows the election is coming, he knows it is possible donald trump could be re—elected. nobody knows. and putin will keep the war going. the us believes, right now. at least through the election and see what he can do, what he can negotiate, how he can regroup after that.

negotiate, how he can regroup afterthat. forthe negotiate, how he can regroup after that. for the ukrainian military, a tough winter ahead. we've seen all this week russia launching massive barrages against ukraine and ukraine, a good deal of concern it may soon start running low on some of the weapons it desperately needs. �* ., ., of the weapons it desperately needs. ., . , needs. both of those conflicts very much of— needs. both of those conflicts very much of course _ needs. both of those conflicts very much of course in - needs. both of those conflicts very much of course in the - very much of course in the portfolio of the us secretary of defense lloyd austin, who we now know was hospitalised for five days this week. we only learned that on friday. that's something that has been making waves, hasn't it, barbara? it has. mis—a first off everybody wishes secretary lloyd austin a full recovery and best of health. that said, it is extraordinary that a secretary of defense in the united states would be in the hospital, walter reed hospital here in the washington area, for all of these days and nobody would know about it. the secretary of defense in this country is one of the key top two or three

national security officials that must be available at all times to brief the president on any contingency, on any crisis. now, there is a deputy secretary of defense, kathleen hicks. she is very capable. doesn't really answer the question. secretary austin is a very private person, i'm sure. i'm absolutely sure. he wanted to maintain his health privacy. but he is a public figure, he is a top figure and is reporting out tonight here in washington that even some members of congress and members of the national security council did not know for several days at the secretary of defense was in the hospital. that's unprecedented. there's going to be a lot of questions. all right, well, tonight, we will leave it there but barbara starr, long—time pentagon correspondent, as always, great to talk to you. thank you.

well, 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. three years on, americans continue to reflect on the violence that marred the nation's capitol. among them, hundreds of capitol and washington, dc police officers. one of them, dc police officer michael fanone, almost died fighting back the rioters. he sat down with my colleague caitriona perry. former washington police officer michael fanone, thanks very much for joining us on this day. this day, three years ago, you were very badly injured — you suffered a heart

attack, a brain injury, how are you now? i mean, i would give myself a clean bill of health. unfortunately, ifell like the same cannot be said for — for the state of our country. and how do you mark a day like this? you know, i never really go into — or at least i haven't in the past, two anniversaries — gone into it with any particular plans. itjust seems to kind of play out the way that it plays out. tomorrow, i am doing an early morning interview, and then the rest of the day's mine, i'll probablyjust go spend time with my family. donald trump, we have to say, maintains his innocence through all of this. the events of january 6 came — those protests on that day came from a belief from a lot of people that the election had been somehow stolen, of course, buoyed up by the remarks donald trump

was making, refusing to accept the outcome of that election. given we are still a long way from election day, but it would look at this point like it will be a rematch between president biden and donald trump — notwithstanding what will happen between now and november. are you concerned something similar may happen to have this year should donald trump lose again or refused to accept the outcome of the election? i'm not concerned. and i will tell you why. because i am convinced something is going to happen. in fact, i think even that statement is disingenuous in that we have seen a continuation of politically inspired violence in the aftermath of january 6. i mean, obviously nothing to the same scale that we all witnessed at the capitol that day. but we've seen attacks perpetrated against law enforcement, against the fbi, threats made to, you know, elected officials, threats made to judges, really anybody that opposes maga and the former

president draws his ire, and, you know, he knows that simply mentioning them leads to his followers attacking them, threatening them. you know, these — these — i wouldn't even call them dog whistles, anymore. these are overt threats. he knows exactly what he's doing. so what can be done? do you have hope for the future? i don't know if i would call it hope. i — ifeel as though the department ofjustice, other institutions that are charged with protecting our democracy are doing theirjob. within the confines of their authority. but ultimately, it's every american�*s responsibility to preserve democracy and ensure it exists for future generations in this country.

i think that's, you know, in a way, we have all become complacent to our own success. we haven't seen our democracy challenged in this way in a very long time. we certainly haven't seen that threat come from within. so i think it's important that every american — you know, especially our newer voters, you know, those who may not have been old enough at the time of the january 6 attack to fully appreciate what took place. and again, i turn to the president, joe biden, to set the tone and to help educate those americans as to what's really at stake here. 0k, we'll leave it there for the moment. thank you so much for speaking with us, we really do appreciate that. former washington, dc police officer michael fanone, thank you forjoining us. yes, ma'am. thank you for having me. to look at where public opinion sits on what happened

three years ago onjanuary 6, i spoke with tom jackman, who covers criminaljustice for the washington post. i want to start with a recent poll run by the washington post with the university of marilyn. we can of those results now. —— the university of maryland. it found that a quarter of americans believe a conspiracy theory that the fbi organised and encouraged the attack on the capitol onjanuary 6. just talk to us about how that idea appears to have taken hold. , ., ., , ., hold. there is a whole separate right-wing _ hold. there is a whole separate right-wing info _ hold. there is a whole separate right-wing info sphere - hold. there is a whole separate right-wing info sphere that - hold. there is a whole separate right-wing info sphere that is i right—wing info sphere that is apart from the mainstream media and apart from facts or accuracy or truth, which just sort of recycles lies. donald trump said today the fbi was involved in january six and trump said today the fbi was involved injanuary six and to talk to these people, they accept that as fact. i interviewed a number of them, the people that took the pole

and said i believe the fbi did this, i quoted one guy saying everybody knows this, everybody knows the fbi did it, and it is breathtaking and stunning and is the first time we have asked this question. i had to think what the answer will be a year from now when we ask that question again. —— i hate. but this distance from the real world is shocking. i am somebody who has been in hundreds of these trials and pleas and hearing. i have seen officer fanone justify a number officer fanone justify a number of times and spoken with him. and there are no fbi or buckle as matter or antifa people being prosecuted or accused of involvement in this. —— black lives matter. it involvement in this. -- black lives matter.— lives matter. it is a belief that has _ lives matter. it is a belief that has taken _ lives matter. it is a belief that has taken hold - lives matter. it is a belief that has taken hold nowl lives matter. it is a belief| that has taken hold now in lives matter. it is a belief- that has taken hold now in an election year. what kind of problems you think that could throw up? i

problems you think that could throw up?— throw up? i think there is a hardening _ throw up? i think there is a hardening base _ throw up? i think there is a hardening base of - throw up? i think there is a hardening base of people l throw up? i think there is a | hardening base of people in this country who believe fiction. so, that creates a problem for people running against that such as joe problem for people running against that such asjoe biden, who give a very powerful speech yesterday, talking about facts, talking about what actually happened that day, the mainstream media yesterday, today, tomorrow, are replaying the footage of what went on inside and outside the building where guys like officer fanone were battered. 0fficer fanone was tased. this is in people just wandering into the capital. we saw donald trump's approval rating go up after he got indicted here in washington for, you know, inciting all of this, and attempting to subvert the election. the difference between him and the other candidates, the separation grew

and has continued to grow each time he gets charged with something. from the washington post, tom jackson, we have to leave it there.— leave it there. but thank you for being _ leave it there. but thank you for being with _ leave it there. but thank you for being with us _ leave it there. but thank you for being with us on - leave it there. but thank you for being with us on the - leave it there. but thank you | for being with us on the bbc. you are welcome. extreme weather has hit europe and the us. in the uk, water levels have started receding after widespread flooding. heavy rain caused major rivers to overflow on friday. officials say about one thousand homes have been damaged. flooding has also drenched parts of germany. thousands of people, including firefighters and relief workers, are working to defend flood barriers against the weight of water, following relentless rainfall in recent weeks. and in the united states, a massive winter storm is sweeping across the country. the east coast is seeing a mix of snow and freezing rain. the state of pennsylvania is among eastern regions seeing snowfall. and a strong storm has hit fort lauderdale, florida on saturday evening. this footage from social media is showing what looks like a tornado moving through the

city. no injuries have been reported. a woman in her nineties has been found alive injapan, six days after a devastating earthquake there. emergency workers pulled her from the rubble of a two—storey building in the town of suzu. she's now receiving treatment in hospital. and finally, india's first solar observation mission has reached its final destination. the spacecraft, the aditya—l1, reached its spot in space from where it will be able to continuously watch the sun. it had been travelling toward the sun for four months covering 1.5 million kilometres — that's around 932,000 miles. it will remain in position to conduct in depth observations of the sun for the next five years. iam i am helena iam helena humphrey i am helena humphrey in washington. you are watching bbc news. i will have more to you at the top of the hour.

hello there. flooding still, of course, a concern for many, 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.

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. 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.

voice-over: this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme.

the rohingya are often called the most persecuted minority in the world. six years ago, they had to flee their home country of myanmar after a deadly military campaign that the united states government has called a genocide. now, in the refugee camps of bangladesh, they're being murdered. hundreds have been killed by drug gangs and militants and the violence is ongoing. unhcr is paid tens of millions of dollars to run a protection programme for refugees. but with rohingya dying every week, is that protection programme working?
