two airlines find loose bolts on some of their boeing 737 max 9 fleet, just days after part of the fuselage fell off a plane midflight. the alaska airline plane debris was found in this oregon back garden by bob — a physics teacher. my heart did start beating a little faster at that point because i thought, "oh, my goodness, people have been looking for this all weekend, and it looks like it's in my back yard". a state of emergency is declared in eucuador as police try to track down the country's most powerful drug lord. the longest strike in nhs history came to an end at 7am, as junior doctors concluded their latest round of industrial action. one hospital has told the bbc that the pay dispute has cost them £1 million because of extra staffing costs and lost income from cancelled operations. our health editor hugh pym sent this

report from milton keynes. my unofficial title is teapot technician. another hospital trolley — this one with self—styled teapot technician judy. she can feel the pressure in a&e as she does her round. i've not long been on shift, but walking in and you see people on beds, you know people have been in a long time and you know it's going to be a full—on day. still busy, as always, up here. even with the strike on, the hospital hairdresser lynn has her hands full. right, good morning, everybody. welcome to the last day of the doctors' strike. i we joined the gold command group of senior managers. they were juggling patient numbers. during this meeting, they raised the alert level to reflect the significant pressure they were under. icu were pretty much full again with no step down. paeds is fine, maternity�*s in escalation. we are short ofjuniors, so we've got at least two or three ward areas with no junior doctor

on it at the moment. nearly 100 patients are being treated in overflow areas. consultants like vicky and shindu are working extra hours in the emergency department during the strike. they sympathise with theirjunior colleagues, but they're tired. i don't think this is sustainable. we've been doing this for many months now — since last summer — and each industrial action has more impact on the workforce and it's more tiring and therefore more impact on our patients and the other staff — the nursing staff, the therapy staff. we're not robots, we're just humans, and so at some point, the willingness of the workforce to do over and above is going to stop. so i've been working this morning from 8:00, but i've been working three, four days now, in continuous stretch. and how does that feel — all those hours? it feels exhausting — very exhausting for all of us working here. but we have to do the job.

and what's more, he's got four days of shifts to come. the trust has to pay out for the extra cover, and there are financial penalties because they've cancelled operations and missed targets. a combination of having to pay our consultants more to cover services, and also for the activity and numbers of patients that we haven't treated, it costs around about £1 million for this six—day strike — loss of income and increased cost to the service. hello, freddie, how are you? and there are mixed views about thejunior doctors from patients who have been seen today. they should give them the money. you know, honestly, the work they do, you know, it's unbelievable. i think doctors, junior doctors, are underpaid, but it's a little bit the wrong time to be taking such a massive...you know, action. the hospital now has to face

the consequences of the strike — tired staff needing days off, and a bigger backlog of care. hugh pym, bbc news, milton keynes. emergency repairs to social housing would have to be carried out within 2a hours under proposals being put forward by the uk government. it's part of a pledge to introduce "awaab�*s law" — named after two—year—old awaab ishak, who died after being exposed to mould in his family's social housing flat in rochdale. here's the bbc�*s north of england reporter, rowan bridge. a little boy who was suffocating in his own home. two—year—old awaab ishak died following exposure to mould and damp. these photos are from the family flat in rochdale — where they washed, where they ate — they were surrounded by mould. the family had complained to their housing provider for years, but nothing was done. rochdale boroughwide housing, we have a message for you. stop discriminating. stop being racist.

stop housing people in homes you know are unfit for human habitation. in the wake of the toddler's death, action was promised. we're bringing forward legislation. that legislation will make sure that the housing associations who are responsible for social housing are held to account. this tragedy should never have occurred. there is no way that a young child being brought up in a home with damp and mould of this kind can be considered to be in a decent home. now the government's proposed how that'll work — with legal requirements for social landlords to tackle problems. 1a days to investigate hazards such as damp and mould. starting fixing the problems within a further seven days. and emergency repairs within 2a hours. landlords that fail to meet the standards could be taken to court in order to pay compensation. the solicitor for the ishak family says it's an important step forward. throughout their time with awaab, they built a bit of a distrust, actually, with authority

because of their experiences. so i'm pleased for them that they're now seeing awaab�*s law get to consultation stage. and it's just really important now that awaab�*s law is able to have the intended bite. so for us, it's particularly important that people really do engage with this consultation. the consultation starts today, for eight weeks — with the government promising to bring the measures into force as soon as practicably possible after that. more than three years on from the death of awaab ishak, his legacy moves another step closer to becoming law. rowan bridge, bbc news. the president of ecuador has declared a state of emergency and ordered the armed forces and police to take control of the country's prisons. he announced the measure after ecuador�*s most powerful drug lord escaped from a maximum security prison at the weekend. the president took office in november promising to tackle organised crime and a surge in gang—related violence. 0ur reporter mimi swaby

has more on this story. president daniel noboa has introduced a 60 day nationwide state of emergency, which includes overnight curfews. and this is after riots in six of ecuador�*s prisons and the escape of the notorious gang leader also known as fito. now, this announcement allows authorities to carry out search and rescue operations across ecuador in this manhunt forjose adolfo macias villamar, also known as fito, without using a warrant. so it gives them free rein, basically. this comes as 3000 police officers and soldiers are scouring the country for this most wanted, most powerful cartel leader from los choneros, a really powerful criminal organisation. now, this comes as riots across the country, particularly in this maximum security wing in a coastal city of guayaquil,

have really erupted and caused nationwide fear and outrage again. president noboa came into office in november promising to tackle this surge in violence, and gang related violence specifically. now, this escape of fito is being seen as a bit of an embarrassment to the president. however, clashes between rival gang members in prison are not uncommon. in fact, they're actually really frequent. authorities have said that more than 400 inmates are known to have died in such clashes since 2001. alongside the president's short video saying that no concessions will be made and we will not negotiate with, he called terrorists, on x, formerly twitter, videos have also circulated on social media of un—uniformed guards surrounded by hooded inmates with knives and machetes. and there are more and more imaging, really scary images emerging as the day progresses.

his whereabouts is unknown, like i said, and this is a really shocking case. he got sentenced to sa years back in 2011 for various crimes, including drug trafficking and murder. now, los choneros is a criminal organisation which authorities have linked to extortion, murder — many, many crimes. and they've also been accused of controlling the main prisons in the country, just like the one in guayaquil, which fito escaped from. back to the news now that united airlines has found bolts that need "additional tightening" during checks on its fleet of boeing 737 max 9s. the inspections were ordered after part of the fuselage of an alaska airlines plane blew out in mid—air. live now to former air accident investigator and aviation consultant, tim atkinson. thanks very much forjoining us on

bbc news. what do you make of this latest development? goad bbc news. what do you make of this latest development?— bbc news. what do you make of this latest development? good morning. it is bad news for — latest development? good morning. it is bad news for boeing _ latest development? good morning. it is bad news for boeing because - latest development? good morning. it is bad news for boeing because the - is bad news for boeing because the alaska event, obviously very spectacular although fortunately with no one killed or injured. the perspective would have been to hope this was a one—off, one unique event which had occurred somewhere on the production line or on the aircraft's operation which led to the door coming loose, and what this tells us as there is something systemic present on more than one aircraft, i gather alaska also reporting loose fastenings found. security is already a hot topic within the industry around boeing and the max production line in particular. the . uestion production line in particular. the question many— production line in particular. the question many people will want to

know is how this happened, do they not check and check again aircraft before they end up in the air? there are a series — before they end up in the air? there are a series of _ before they end up in the air? there are a series of inspections _ before they end up in the air? there are a series of inspections to - before they end up in the air? there are a series of inspections to be - are a series of inspections to be carried out both during manufacturing and operations. i'm interested we have a job which, if i could put it in these terms, is neither fish nor fowl, could put it in these terms, is neitherfish norfowl, it is not an exit door in regular use but it is notjust exit door in regular use but it is not just flush fuselage and i exit door in regular use but it is notjust flush fuselage and i wonder whether the inaccessibility of the jaw might be a factor here. certainly the history of recent pressurisation events seems to be of inquest in terms of the alaska aircraft, it was that flagging which was causing the pressurisation problems and did the inaccessibility of the jaw contribute to those matters not being identified earlier and preventing the ultimate loss of

the door, but i think focusing attention on the culture at boeing and the shift in that cooperation in recent years from a very engineering led organisation to one with a much stronger focus on business. led organisation to one with a much strongerfocus on business. i led organisation to one with a much stronger focus on business. i wanted to ask about — stronger focus on business. i wanted to ask about the _ stronger focus on business. i wanted to ask about the 737 _ stronger focus on business. i wanted to ask about the 737 max _ stronger focus on business. i wanted to ask about the 737 max 9 - stronger focus on business. i wanted to ask about the 737 max 9 of - stronger focus on business. i wanted to ask about the 737 max 9 of years. to ask about the 737 max 9 of years ago, we are talking about the 737 max 9 but there were also concerns about them a few years ago? yes. max 9 but there were also concerns about them a few years ago? yes, and around the system _ about them a few years ago? yes, and around the system so _ about them a few years ago? yes, and around the system so when _ about them a few years ago? yes, and around the system so when the - around the system so when the aircraft was designed the position of the engines meant there were certain aspects which did not meet certification criteria. boeing address that with a system which intervenes on flight controls in order to correct that deficiency. unfortunately the design of a system and the fact it was not widely and correctly publicise to those operating the aircraft played a role

in those two awful events. i also think it's at the scene for a general suspicion around the max. in the industry we are all very aware because of the enormous difficulties and expense of certifying a brand—new aircraft type we habitually see developments like the 737 max which has its back bounce backin 737 max which has its back bounce back in the boeing 707, for many decades ago. —— which has its roots back. we see consequences such as the mcas, and it is very interesting to me that boeing in designing these types, just behind the wing which were blanked off effectively on the alaska airlines, they chose to deviate from the habitual practice

of having plug type tours which were inherently very unlikely to part company with the aircraft because they are held in like a bath plug by they are held in like a bath plug by the pressure of the air in the cabin. these two doors are quite uniquely not plug type doors and thatis uniquely not plug type doors and that is certainly part of the history of this event with the alaska airlines aircraft which has cast a shadow more widely on 737 max. �* ~' , ., cast a shadow more widely on 737 max. �* ~ , ., ., cast a shadow more widely on 737 max. �* ~ ,., ., ., cast a shadow more widely on 737 max. �* ~ ., ., ., . ., max. tim atkinson, a former aircraft accident investigator, _ max. tim atkinson, a former aircraft accident investigator, thank - max. tim atkinson, a former aircraft accident investigator, thank you - accident investigator, thank you very much for sharing your story. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. i’m bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. i'm very much a car — stories from across the uk. i'm very much a car person, _ stories from across the uk. i'm very much a car person, i _ stories from across the uk. i'm very much a car person, i like _ stories from across the uk. i'm very much a car person, i like the - stories from across the uk. i'm very much a car person, i like the looks. much a car person, i like the looks of cars, the engines of cars, i find them really fascinating. i of cars, the engines of cars, i find them really fascinating.— them really fascinating. i don't want to step —

and the person who made the allegations later said she wanted to withdraw them. the claims were included in hundreds of documents that a us judge has ordered to be unsealed — as part of a civil claim by prince andrew's accuser — virginia giuffre — against ghislaine maxwell, which was filed in 2015 and settled in 2017. 0ur north america correspondent nada tawfik has more. a new batch of court documents have been released, this time in relation to a woman named sarah ransome who herself settled a civil lawsuit with epstein and maxwell in 2018 for an undisclosed amount. sarah ransome says she was abused and recruited into epstein's sex trafficking ring in 2006, when she was 22 years old. the latest release includes several of her communications with a columnist from the new york post in 2016. she claims in them to have witnessed bill clinton, richard branson and prince andrew

having sex with one of her friends, and she says she has copies of the encounters in her possession and on usb drives. she later tells the reporter that she would like to retract everything she told her. now, all of the men mentioned have denied any wrongdoing and have not been charged with any criminal charges in relation to epstein. when ms ransome was asked about her claims again in 2019 by the new yorker, she said she invented the story of the tapes to draw attention to epstein's behaviour and to make him believe that she had evidence that would come out if he harmed her. now, also released are documents that she provided to virginia giuffre's lawyers, a number of photos that show herself, young women or girls on epstein's private island. she also sent a picture of ghislaine maxwell lounging on a chair at a time when maxwell claimed she wasn't there.

and in her deposition, she said maxwell was like the mama bear and the girls were afraid of her because she called the shots and she was epstein's right hand. she likened her time with epstein to a dungeon of sexual hell. so did you have a good sleep last night — or do you share a bed with somebody who snores? it's only usually a problem if it keeps those around you awake, but sleep apnoea is very different. the condition leads to loud snorning and a temporary inability to breath, and it can be dangerous. ——a —— a temporary inability to breathe. now a new gadget has been invented to help make diagnosis easier. 0ur reporter david gregory—kumar explains. where else to talk sleep and obstructive sleep apnoea, but in a hotel? and in this box is a device now on trial that will completely change how we diagnose this serious problem. but over time, the...there's obviously an increased risk of accidents, which can be very serious. it also can affect your heart

and the cardiovascular system, so that can lead to an increased risk of stroke or problems with high blood pressure. getting a sleep apnoea diagnosis is complex — you pick up this wearable monitor from a hospital, where you're taught how to put it on. then, once it's in place, you try and get a good night's sleep. the next day, you have to return it to the hospital for lengthy analysis. back at the hospital, the data from that device is then analysed by a technician — that can take two or three hours — they produce a report that goes to the consultant, who then gets back in touch with the gp and the patient with the suggested course of action. but all of that can be replaced with this tiny device here — and it's quicker, easier and cheaper. now being trialled in coventry and warwickshire, this small device is posted to a potential sleep apnoea sufferer. they stick it to their throat, and overnight it records and analyses their sleep, ready for the consultant to look at.

0ur sleep consultant is really pleased with the change because basically it would mean they would spend less time doing all the diagnosis, and more time actually treating the patients. faster, easier and cheaper than the existing test — if the trial goes well, many more patients with sleep apnoea will be diagnosed and helped. david gregory—kumar, bbc news. from sleep apnoea to these pictures from china. these fairy tale looking sculptures are all made from ice and snow. the annual festival in harbin features more than two thousand sculptures and took a team of more than 10,000 builders more than a month to complete. you are watching bbc news. quite incredible, aren't they? how many times have you thought you'd like a complete career change? we all like to dream, don't we — but most of us never do anything about it. well, when one primary school

teacher decided to leave herjob and start painting a picture a day, she could never have imagined the success she'd have. using the name margo in margate, she's built up a huge fan base, and is now launching her own exhibition. 0ur entertainment correspondent colin paterson went to meet her. meet the artist known as margo in margate. i'm loving what i do and i think, hopefully, that shows up in the artwork, as well. the actress drew barrymore is a fan. i'm going to go in hard. margo's work is seen on celebrity gogglebox and now she has her own solo show in brighton. a decade ago, margo completely changed her life. she was a primary school teacher in inner—city london when tragedy befell one of her pupils. there was a little girl in my class who was put on... i was actually one of the people who put her on the at—risk register. and, sadly, yeah, she was murdered with her mum and that did actually... that really changed my life. margo decided to quit teaching

and pursue her lifelong dream of art, creating at least one picture every single day. and so i started drawing little small pictures in my bedroom every night on a desk. and i just thought that's what i'm going to do — i'm going to paint every single day for ten years, all the rest of my life, i'm just going to keep painting every day. no matter what happens, i will have a sketchbook, i will do a drawing. despite living in nearby ramsgate, she adopted the name margo in margate. it's great to have the freedom of being a different person. i'm margo mcdaid, but i work as margo in margate and then anything's possible. i have so much freedom as an artist to do and be creative. there's definitely a lot more interest in margate. there's a lot more people here. her instagram account grew in popularity and she has sold more than 16,000 pictures online, and shops in margate are very supportive.

lots of people come to visit us in margate and then have heard about margo and will come to the shop to to seek out the paintings. these are looking really good. yeah, they look brilliant in here, don't they? yeah, they definitely suit — the bright orange is - working really well. super—fan cara is typical of the kind of devotion she inspires. the look of love in the upstairs hallway. love, as you can see, is the theme. now, in the kitchen, this is elvis. this is one of margo's personal favourites. this is in the hallway — another margo. in the bedroom, is one of my favourite ones. she's inspired us a lot for the interior of this bedroom. in our bathroom — you to me are everything. such an amazing house. and they look absolutely perfectly at home. brilliant, thank you, cara. no, and they are at home and we feel very privileged to have so many in our home. until last year, margo hadn't sold any pictures from more than £250. that's changing. banksy�*s spokesperson

has become her agent. and, now, at the age of 54, the mother of two boys has her own show in brighton's helm gallery. margo, how does it feel to see this? it is unbelievable. i absolutely love it. so much colour. and to see everything together in one room, it's. . . it's mind—blowing. it's just fantastic. next, margo has the us in her sights and wants to encourage other people to take risks and follow their dreams. make time for something that you love doing. and maybe that's where you should go. i love it. i really love it. i can't stop doing it, i love it so much. so i'm just going to keep doing it. colin paterson, in margate, for bbc news. margo in margate inspiring us all.

let's remind you of some breaking news in the past hour. there's been another earthquake measuring 6.0 injapan. it's struck off the coast. this comes as the japanese government says the death toll from the country's new year's day quake has risen above 200. the new year's day quake, measuring 7.6, struck the remote noto peninsula — toppling buildings and sparking a majorfire. efforts are continuing to find those who remain missing over a week later but rescuers are struggling with warnings of landslides and building collapses due to rain and snow. we will have more on that in the next hour. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. hello. it's another cold, wintry day out there today. we've got some icy stretches around, some fog patches that are going to linger all day, particularly across parts of northern scotland. but for most of us, thankfully, it is going to be another dry day. still plenty of flood warnings out, but they're starting to reduce in number now.

so high pressure driving our weather at the moment. quite a few isobars in the south. this is where we've got the breeziest conditions. breeze coming in from the east or north—east for southern england and wales too. still some wintry showers down towards the channel islands into the afternoon. also some snow flurries for the likes of dartmoor, for instance, as well. one or two light showers could come out of this cloud across north—east england and eastern scotland, but most places dry. plenty of sunshine for central parts of england, wales, northern ireland. temperatures only three to six degrees on the thermometer, but add on the wind chill and it's going to feel typically about minus two or minus three, especially towards southern england and the channel islands. into this evening and overnight, then, most of us looking dry again. we've got a bit more cloud filtering in across scotland and northern england as well. clearer skies further south and west. it's here that temperatures will fall lowest. so again, a widespread frost to start your wednesday morning, and i think we could well see some icy stretches and some fog patches, especially in the north. through the day tomorrow, we might see a few more showers

pushing into north—east england and eastern scotland. they'll be a little bit wintry over the higher ground — the pennines, for instance, southern uplands and the north york moors. more in the way of sunshine further south, but we've still got that brisk easterly wind and temperatures will be up a notch on recent days. so we could see seven or eight degrees on wednesday. not much change into thursday, but we've got this area of high pressure still with us. quite a bit of cloud that's going to be rotating around that coming in from the atlantic and trapped underneath the high pressure, so fairly cloudy in the north and the east, i think. southern england, perhaps parts of northern ireland seeing a little bit of sunshine at times, and it's not as cold as it has been. so seven or eight degrees our top temperature on thursday. thankfully, again, mostly dry. things are then looking largely dry, but somewhat cloudy and murky, i think, for friday. but it's going to be all change into the weekend because we'll start to see this weather front pushing its way south, not bringing too much in the way of any rainfall. but it will introduce just a few showers and some colder air. so heading into next week, a real drop in those temperatures with the northerly winds developing and a chance of snow showers.

live from london, this is bbc news: tough talks in tel aviv — america's top diplomat, antony blinken — is in israel today to discuss the next phase of the war in gaza. we have to get through this very challenging moment and ensure that october 7th can never happen again, and work to build a much different
