by widespread crackdowns. and tonight marks hollywood's first big award show since twin strikes shut down tinseltown, we'll bring you the big winners from tonight's golden globes. hello, i'm carl nasman. eyewitness reports from gaza say many people have been killed in an israeli air strike on a building in the jabalia refugee camp, in the north. images from the scene show bodies of women and children in the rubble. there's been no comment from israel. meanwhile, israeli airstrikes hit khan younis early on sunday, killing and injuring dozens. the eldest son of al jazeera's gaza bureau chief was killed in that air strike in southern gaza. this is a picture of him with his son who's on the right.

there's been violence in the west bank too — 9 palestinians and 2 israelis were killed on sunday. the hamas—run health ministry says that almost people have been killed since the war began. speaking from qatar, the us secretary of state antony blinken said palestinians must not be put under pressure to leave gaza , and must be allowed to return to their homes once conditions allow. mr blinken is currently on a week—long diplomatic tour of the region to prevent the conflict from spreading. as we have made clear from day one, it is imperative in dealing with this very, very difficult challenge, that it do so in a way that puts a premium on protecting civilians and making sure people get the assistance they need. the bbc�*s wyre davies has more from jerusalem. a warning — viewers may find some images in his report distressing. images coming from jabalia in northern gaza today are difficult to watch.

reporters quickly on the scene described dozens of bodies lying in the rubble of a destroyed building, many of them women and children. unconfirmed reports say at least 70 people were killed here in what was reported to be an israeli air strike. the israeli military has not yet responded to a bbc request for more information. across gaza, say aid agencies, the civilian toll is unbearable. this, the aftermath of another attack in khan younis. health officials say that even medicalfacilities, including hospitals, are unsafe as israel's relentless campaign continues against hamas military targets. the staff inside of this hospital are heroes who are doing everything they can without sleep, without food, without knowing if their own families are safe, in order to save the lives of others. so this hospital and the staff

in this hospital have to be protected. with an increasing sense of urgency, the american secretary of state is on a whistle—stop tour of middle eastern capitals. with real concern about the humanitarian situation and the possibility of a region—wide conflict, antony blinken is being urged to use america's influence over israel to demand an immediate ceasefire. but even if washington presses that point, israel's leader isn't yet listening. translation: we are not stopping until victory. - the war must not be stopped until we achieve all of its goals — the elimination of hamas, the return of all of our hostages, and ensuring that gaza no longer poses a threat to israel. i say this to both our enemies and ourfriends. wael al—dahdouh wishes the fighting would end. he's already lost family and several colleagues. today, the aljazeera correspondent buried his son, hamza, also a reporter killed in an airstrike.

israel says they were targeting a suspect and were aware of others in his car. the latest of at least 75 local journalists who have been killed in gaza. paying the highest price to report this war to the world. wyre davies, bbc news, jerusalem. for more on the situation, i spoke to former us ambassador to malta and middle east policy council president, gina abercrombie—winstanley. i want to start with comments by the us secretary of state antony blinken on sunday, saying "more needs to be done to prevent civilian casualties." how much influence does the us have right now to change the behaviour of either israel or hamas?. thank you. the influence is considerable. it is a matter of whether that

influence, that pressure, that leverage will be used. the statement from the secretary of state, the public one is one that has been repeated behind the scenes almost from day one. it is one that has been ratcheted up for the last over three months, and now it is clear to everyone, to the public that there is a stark disagreement about the prosecution of this war. there are domestic political constraints as to how much pressure the administration can put on the government of israel but the reality is there are growing questions among the american population about this prosecution. this will be the first time the secretary of state has made a trip to israel since the october seven attacks, there has been mounting criticism on israel, you say the us has leverage, might they begin to change tactics potentially if there is that urgency, to reduce the number

of civilian casualties? the possibility is certainly there, this will remind us who remember the term shuttle diplomacy, secretaries of state going to israel the middle east and partners, this is a primary example of that. there are number of pieces of leverage the administration has, there is the nuclear bomb of cutting off aid to israel or stopping to provide the diplomatic protection, especially in multilateralfora in the united nations, but there are many other things that can also happen. certainly, the government can make more clear in public statements that the support for the way that the government is prosecuting the war has diminished. when you think about that first day when president biden flew out to israel and embraced the prime minister of israel, there is a clear understanding

now that the prosecution of this war may be helpful to the prime minister and may not be in the best interest of the people of israel as well as the people of the region. so more statements making that clear could go on, as the aid comes forward, it could be examined more carefully, conditions can be placed on it, you see questions coming from members of congress. i know there were senators out looking at how the humanitarian aid gets into the gaza strip, that is a primary concern from the government, whether it is the executive branch, the president or the legislative branch, so those challenges of getting aid into gaza, seeing there are decisions made that ends were previously blocked at the border and sent back that it is only 200 trucks getting in as opposed to the 500 to needed 700 to get in, all of these things can put additional pressure. meanwhile, regional

tensions are on the rise with hezbollah in lebanon and with the houthis in the red sea. how concerning do you think that is for secretary blinken? he is making several visits to partners in the region in arab countries? this is of considerable concern hence this trip. keeping in mind israel as our ally we want the best for israel, we want israel safe and secure but that requires safety and security for others in the region as well. so in addition to some very tough talk with the government of israel, we are indeed making the case to our partners and allies in the region that it behooves all of us to do the best to keep this conflict confined as much as possible. i have said from the beginning that there are any number of ways it could expand unexpectedly and unplanned, by mistakes happening, by missiles going in different directions than

intended so the danger is extremely high. and we see that not only us but the countries, the egyptians, emiratis, all the people with whom the secretary is engaging, all are going to try their best to confine this conflict. gina abercrombie—winstanley. former us ambassador to malta and middle east policy council president, thank you for your perspective. initial results in bangladesh show the country's prime minister, sheikh hasina has secured another 5 years in office after a campaign marred by violence. bangladesh's chief election commissioner has told the bbc that the ruling awami league, ms hasina's party, has won more than half the seats in parliament. though official results haven't yet been declared, it will be ms hasina's fifth term. she's already the country's longest serving prime minister. the electoral commission says the turnout was low — standing at about a0 percent.

the country's main opposition party did not participate, accusing the government of being unable to hold free and fair elections. human rights groups have reported a severe crackdown on democratic freedoms ahead of the election, with nearly 10,000 activists arrested, and at least 14 polling stations were set on fire and a commuter train was allegedly set alight — killing four passengers. 0ur south asia correspondent samira hussain has more. the results of these elections come as no surprise, prime minister sheikh hasina was all but guaranteed a win but now there will be questions about whether the results reflect the will of the people. the country's main opposition party were boycotting the elections, saying they did not believe the government could hold free and fair elections. they also encourage their supporters not to go out and vote. then there was this general sense of apathy amongst voters because the main opposition party was not on the

ballot, in terms of choices of who to vote for, you could either vote for the ruling party or you could vote for an independent candidate, most of whom are supportive of the ruling government. and then if you have to take into consideration the environment in which these elections were taking place. many human rights groups have been increasingly critical of bangladesh and its crackdown on democratic freedoms. nonetheless these elections have taken place. and prime minister sheikh hasina looks to be able to form a government and another five years in office. but there are questions about whether or not the international community will see this as legitimate. the us aviation regulator has said 171 boeing 737 max 9 planes will remain grounded until it is satisfied the planes are safe. the federal aviation administration has been inspecting the jets after part of an alaska

airlines plane's fuselage fell off in mid—air on friday. the faa said its first priority was "keeping the flying public safe". the grounding of the jets has had an immediate impact on travellers. alaska airlines cancelled a further 170 flights on sunday on top of the 160 flights it cancelled on saturday. the airline said approximately a8,000 passengers have been affected already. and united airlines says it cancelled 180 flights on sunday after already cancelling 90 on saturday. both airlines told passengers to expect more cancellations throughout the week. the us national transportation safety board said they're still searching for the plug door that blew out of the plane — and are asking the public for help. they believe the door fell to the ground in the western suburbs of portland, oregon, about 6.5 minutes after the jet took off on its way to california. around the world and across the uk,

this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. measures are being considered by the government to clear the names of hundreds of sub—postmasters convicted in the post office horizon scandal. more than 700 branch managers were incorrectly convicted of false accounting, theft and fraud based on faulty software. fewer than 100 people have had their convictions quashed. the prime minister said the government was reviewing options. rishi sunak has said it was his job when he was chancellor to question the cost of the government's rwanda scheme but denies ever doubting it could work. papers seen by the bbc this week suggested that in 2022 mr sunak wanted to scale back plans to send asylum seekers to the african nation. the documents also indicated he was not sure the policy would be a deterrent. strikes on the london underground, which would have crippled services from this evening until friday, have been suspended. little or no service was expected across the capital's

entire network from sunday evening to friday morning. the union said "positive discussions" meant further talks could take place. you're live with bbc news. here in washington, congressional leaders say they have reached a deal on the overall spending level for the rest of 202a. the bipartisan agreement would total $1.6 trillion. now the clock is ticking for lawmakers to negotiate and finalise the bill's text with just 12 days before funding for many federal agencies expires onjanuary 19. the rest runs out on february 2. so far, none of the bills that would fund the government for a full year have made it through the republican—controlled house and the democratic—led senate. congress has relied on short term funding extensions to keep the government operating. speakerjohnson acknowledged in a statement that the funding levels deal, "will not satisfy everyone."

so the big number here, a $1.66 trillion agreement. it'sjust an agreement, not a bill. walk us through the details and tell us how significant this agreement is. i'd say it is pretty significant. as you mentioned, there is a january 19 funding deadline. the anticipation was that congress would not be prepared for this. they are showing way in advance that they have been working on it. like you said, this is something they are putting forth. there is an agreement with speakerjohnson and majority leader schumer over in the senate to fund 800 billion in defence and more than 700 billion in non—defence measures. this is that top line from last year that was negotiated between kevin mccarthy and also obviously the senate. at $1.59 trillion.

some hardliners are not going to be happy with this because they wanted the funding levels to be lower but i would say it is a win for, overall, congress because i think they can get this passed. or at least pass it on the floor. you think this could actually pass? because it has been going back and forth. we saw the previous speaker kevin mccarthy essentially ousted over some previous agreements over funding. do you think this will lay a solid framework now for republicans and democrats to work together and get the funding for the government passed? i think i am cautiously optimistic. probably the better way to put it. there are going to be some hardliners that aren't going to be happy because they did want some of that borderfunding implemented here. i would say they are probably going to do, leadership is probably going to do some magic and throw it in a suspension bill that would override

the rules portion so it cannot be blocked on the floor or before it comes to the floor. just so they can get it passed. and again to avoid the government from shutting down. just a few days left for some congressional magic. january 19 the first deadline, february second the second deadline. we have the conflicts in ukraine and gaza, the white house pressing for congressional aid package for more military funding for both ukraine and israel. i want to play for you, this is republican house speaker mikejohnson early on sunday. take a listen. we have to insist upon securing our own country. also if we get the necessary information and necessary answers with regard to what is the endgame in ukraine and how will we be responsible with the expenditure of those resources? the white house has not given us the necessary information. the house speaker there sounding fairly sceptical

about extra military funding to ukraine. according to your reporting, where does any kind of aid package stand right now in congress? it is all going to be contingent on whether or not democrats and republicans can agree on this border measure. i was down there last week in that very same spot with the speaker and dozens of republican members. to me, it kind of felt like they were all on the same page with making this a rally cry for 202a. kinda still up in the air whether they are going to push for it. there are specific measures that the senate have proposed. the conflict is that the house members want this measure called hr2 that passed almost a year ago to go for it. a little more strict than what republicans in the senate and democrats in the senate have in mind.

it is going to be a matter of if they can agree on passing something. and that will determine whether the $105 billion the white house is requesting for aid to ukraine and other countries will even go forward. still a lot of work to be done and we are just getting started with 202k. thank you very much. thank you. the pentagon has given an update on the condition of the us defence secretary, lloyd austin, who has been in hospital since new year's day receiving treatment for an unspecified medical issue. in a statement, a spokesperson said secretary austin remains at walter reed medical center but is recovering well. he resumed his duties from hospital on friday, but no timescale has been given for when he might be discharged. earlier, us media reported that president biden had not been informed of his defence secretary's hospitalisation for several days.

mr austin has accepted responsibility for the lack of communication. hollywood's first big awards ceremony of the season — the golden globes — is under way. the world's biggest stars have walked the red carpet and big wins are anticipated for two movies that saw massive success. barbie leads the pack with nine nominations and 0penheimer follows with eight. barbie has already picked up awards in the best song category and for cinematic and box office achievement. cilian murphy won in the best actor category for his role in 0ppenheimer and emma stone won best performance by an actress in a musical or comedy for her role in poor things. for more, i'm joined by our entertainment correspondent peter bowes. he's in los angeles following the ceremony. red carpet ready as well.

the ceremony is now under way. what have been some of the biggest highlights so far? i think this show is going to mostly wonder what the anticipation was that barbie and 0ppenheimer, these giant movies from last year that would dominate. that is what is happening. we had the director christopher nolan of 0ppenheimer winning for that movie, one of the most prestigious awards, best director. i think it is beginning to set the scene for awards season as we run up to the oscars and a couple months time. certainly 0ppenheimer will be the film to be. you mentioned barbie as well which was the biggest box office success of last year. $1.5 billion with truly an unprecedented amount of money takings at cinemas around the world. fora takings at cinemas around the world. for a film about a doll

with so many layers to it. which i think is what it achieved such importance, it was an intelligent movie. a feminist movie. and a film that really captured the hearts and minds of people around the world. it is doing well, not winning in every category it is nominated for but the most significant is the one you just mentioned for cinematic achievement, box office achievement, box office achievement, one of the new categories introduced this year by the golden globes. i think thatis by the golden globes. i think that is a deliberate move by the revamped golden globes to give precedence to films that would not necessarily do well during awards season. sometimes these award _ during awards season. sometimes these award ceremonies _ during awards season. sometimes these award ceremonies are - these award ceremonies are criticised for being a bit out of touch with actual movie—goers not recognising the movies everybody actually goes to see. the golden globes also honouring the best in television stop right from the start ac was called beef one back to back awards. we have

seen a big honourfor back to back awards. we have seen a big honour for elizabeth debicki, she won for her depiction of princess diana in the crown. what are you seeing on the tv side?— on the tv side? that was an interesting _ on the tv side? that was an interesting win _ on the tv side? that was an interesting win for— on the tv side? that was an interesting win for the - interesting win for the australian actress portraying princess diana in the crown. an increasingly controversial series as we have seen me season after the season. quite widely criticised for the way it is interpreting real life history in a fictional way. certainly i think her performance was particularly good and i think this award shows she was rollout for it. the stand—up tv performance is for succession. which is the television drama about powerful media family. one in several categories. for its final season. we often see this at hollywood award shows that in the final season, they suddenly when all of these accolades

because it is the last opportunity for them to be honoured. i think succession has been one of the great achievements in television drama, especially over the last few years. drama, especially over the last few veere— few years. you touched on this earlier, this _ few years. you touched on this earlier, this has _ few years. you touched on this earlier, this has been - earlier, this has been described almost as a new era for the golden globes ceremony itself wasn't coming back from the dead. what are some of the changes we are seeing this year? notjust on stage but also behind—the—scenes for that you mentioned new awards being handed out. you mentioned new awards being handed out-— handed out. yes. there are two new categories. _ handed out. yes. there are two new categories. the _ handed out. yes. there are two new categories. the one - handed out. yes. there are two new categories. the one i - new categories. the one i mentioned, cinematic achievement and also for stand—up comedy. the winner was ricky gervais, a controversial host for the when he poked fun at some of the guests. he is

not here tonight, perhaps to the relief of some members of the relief of some members of the audience. more serious than that, you are talking about some of the changes and we have seen the behind—the—scenes. the golden globes have been mired in controversy for the last couple of years because it was revealed a couple years ago there were no black voters amongst the boating pool of about 90 people. members of the hollywood foreign press association. that came as a huge shock and surprise to many people to learn that. since then, the voting pool has been increased to about 300 people, much more diverse.— increased to about 300 people, much more diverse. entry golden globes fashion, _ much more diverse. entry golden globes fashion, i _ much more diverse. entry golden globes fashion, i will— much more diverse. entry golden globes fashion, i will have - much more diverse. entry golden globes fashion, i will have to - globes fashion, i will have to wrap up your speech right there. we're up against time. thank so much. stated. hello there. well, the falling rain has now eased and there is still plenty of ground water out there, the rivers will take some time to subside and the number

of flood warnings has been in steady decline but still plenty of them out there. all the details are on the bbc weather website. the weather has certainly changed. it is still looking mostly dry, a few showers. it will be feeling cold, frost, fog and ice all forming through the overnight period. that is thanks to this area of high—pressure building through the course of the weekend and set to stick around and it will block the atlantic systems moving in from the west. we should stay mostly dry. this is how we are starting off monday morning with a widespread frost, patches of fog and they will be slow to lift and clear as we head through the morning. some icy stretches and showers streaming in from the north sea and a brisk north—easterly wind across the london area, and the south east of england, wintry over the high ground and could possibly see a light dusting of snow in some places. as the wind picks up, it becomes more easterly and will drive the showers further west into central southern england and perhaps even eastern wales but for many away from the fog there will be weak spells of winter sunshine

and areas of clouds, thickest at the east, top temperatures between two and five celsius, so feeling cold but feeling even colder still in exposure to the brisk north—easterly winds and that will always feel strongest towards the south. it will feel subzero here for most of the day. heading through tuesday, there is little more of a breeze towards the south, the wind is picking up, there should be more sunshine and maybe some showers towards the southwest of england and through the channel islands, but otherwise it is looking dry. there will be some weak winter sunshine on offer and temperatures once more between two and five celsius but plenty of added wind chill again. exposure to that easterly wind. more cloud on wednesday and moisture and slightly less cold—feeling air perhaps, most of the cloud will be towards the north of the uk and the best of the sunshine will be further south. and you will notice that temperatures start to improve a little as we head through thursday and friday.

a lot more cloud around, more moisture in the air, still possibly some frost by night. bye— bye.

the boeing boss promises to work transparently with us regulators after they ground

thousands of planes. ——regulators after they ground dozens of planes. the bangladesh prime minister sheikh hasina has been re—elected. we look into the implications for the south asian economy. hello and welcome to asia business report. i'm steve lai. we begin with the crisis at boeing after friday's incident involving a 737 max 9 plane. boeing's ceo has promised to address the causes of the event and make sure it will not happen again. it is critical right now for the aviation giant to work transparently with customers and regulators. he was speaking after the federal aviation administration said boeing jets fitted with the same panel as the one which blew off during the alaska airlines flight will remain grounded until deemed safe to fly. earlier i spoke to an aviation analyst who told me all eyes on wall street and how investors will react when markets open in the us.

the immense reputation damage boeing has continued to suffer.
