storm isha sweeps across the uk, leaving thousands without power, and transport chaos. the duchess of york, sarah ferguson, has received her second cancer diagnosis in six months. a landslide has buried at least 47 people in yunnan province in south—western china. the authorities have condirmed eight deaths. more than 200 people have been moved to safety, and rescue efforts are under way in bitterly cold weather. our china correspondent laura bicker has more from beijing. the landslide hitjust before dawn and witnesses told chinese state media that the mountains simply seemed to collapse and just as they slept. what we've seen on state media in terms of pictures as rescuers combing through collapsed

bricks and mortar. we understand at this time that 47 people remain unaccounted for from 18 separate households over two villages. so they are spread out over two villages and trying to comb through that collapsed brick and mortar in freezing cold conditions. and we understand it's been snowing heavily in the region and that is hampering rescue efforts. 500 people have been evacuated from the area to safer ground. yunnan province has had many landslides in the past. it is prone to landslides. there's a steep mountainous ground right next to the himalayan plateau. but we do understand that within the afternoon, within daylight hours, rescuers have managed to find four people and one of them is still alive. they are now in a race against time. darkness is falling. those temperatures are plummeting even further. president xi has urged rescuers

for an all—out effort to try to rescue as many people as possible. true to become an important part of the war in ukraine. president zelensky has promised to make a million tones this year. —— drones. we just wejust had some incoming we just had some incoming fire. wejust had some incoming fire. when you're this close to the river, which is a front line, you are

the russian still closer not going anywhere, we hope he is right. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, has accused the tory party of trying to find "woke agendas" in britain's civic institutions so that the party can then attack them. speaking at a conference in london, sir keir said the conservatives were waging a war on "the proud spirit of service in this country". the tories seem set on sabotaging civil society to save their own skins. they've got themselves so tangled up in culture wars of their own making that instead of working with royal national lifeboat institution — an organisation the late queen was patron of for 70 years — to find real solutions to stop the small boats, their rhetoric has helped demonise them. instead of working with the national trust so more people

can learn about and celebrate the culture and our history, they've managed to demean their work. in its desperation to cling onto power at all cost, the tory party is undertaking a kind of weird mccarthyism, trying to find woke agendas in the very civic institutions they once regarded with respect. let me tell you — waging a war on the proud spirit of service in this country isn't leadership. it's desperate, it's divisive and it's damaging. and it comes to something when the tories are at war with the national trust. that's what happens when politics of self—preservation prevail over commitment to service. people who are getting all the things that actually matter — saving lives, supporting those in need, serving others — get caught in the cross hairs

of division and distraction. so the relationship between government and civil society needs a reset. because you should feel that you can speak up on behalf of the people you serve without fear, call out injustice where you see it, continue to push us all to be and to do better. the royal college of obstetricians and gynaecologists has issued new guidance, telling healthcare workers that they should not report women to the police if they suspect they have had an illegal abortion. the professional body says it is concerned about an increase in the number of police investigations, warning medical staff that they could be struck off if they share confidential patient data. with more on this i'm joined by our health correspondent sophie hutchinson.

what exactly is this guidance and why have they decided to issue it now? ~ , ., . , , why have they decided to issue it now? , ., . , now? well, this guidance sets out the leual now? well, this guidance sets out the legal and _ now? well, this guidance sets out the legal and professional- the legal and professional obligations of health care workers who work with pregnant women, or women who have had a miscarriage or a termination. they are about when there is a suspected late abortion. that is an abortion that has taken place after 28 weeks, which is prohibited in england, scotland and wales. the guidance underlines that health care workers have no general obligation to report a crime to police and that rather they have a professional duty to maintain a patient�*s confidentiality, and if they don't do that there can be disciplinary action. the guidance says that if a health care worker suspects there's been a late abortion they should not call the police, they should not give information to police, they should not take blood tests or other

samples to the police and where a woman increased to information being shared with the police, the workers should ensure that that woman hasn't been pressurised to agree to that. the reason these guidelines have been published by the royal college and others is because there has been big concern among doctors and health care workers about a sharp rise in the numbers of women who have been investigated by police. in the 160 years since the abortion act, only three women were ever convicted of having a late abortion, but since 2022, six women have found themselves in court being prosecuted and dozens more have been investigated by police, often for taking an abortion type hill triggering a late abortion. what they are concerned about is that often it is health care workers they believe you are reporting these women to the police. in one instance

it was after an emergency cesarean in hospital that the police were called. they say that these are exceptionally rare cases, these women are extremely vulnerable and that rather than being a criminal matter that should be a safeguarding health care matter. the crown prosecution service has said that it has a duty to uphold the law is that parliament set sites. it says it carefully considers these personal circumstances of those investigated, but it is having a tough oversight and checking more at a very senior level when these cases come up. nearly 90 weather—related deaths have been recorded in the us over the past week after severe winter weather hit much of the country. tens of thousands of people are without power, with icy conditions forecast to continue until the middle of this week. tennessee has accounted for 19 deaths attributed to severe weather. 0regon, which remains under a state of emergency, 16 more, including three people who died

of apparent electrocution from a power line that fell onto their vehicle. staying in the united states, the governor of florida, ron desantis, has dropped out of the republican presidential race and endorsed donald trump. the surprise video announcement came ahead of this week's republican primary in new hampshire, where mr desantis was polling in the single digits. his departure leaves nikki haley as mr trump's only rival. here's a snippet of the governor's message to his supporters. if there was anything i could do to produce a favourable outcome, more campaign stops, more interviews, i would do it. but i can't ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources if we don't have a clear path to victory. accordingly, i am today suspending my campaign. trump is superior to the current incumbent, joe biden. that is clear. i signed a pledge to support the republican nominee and i will honour that pledge. he has my endorsement because we can't go back

to the old republican guard of yesteryear or repackage forms of warmed over corporatism that nikki haley represents. last night at a rally in new hampshire donald trump reacted to the suspension of mr desantis' campaign. before we begin, i'd like to take time to congratulate ron desantis and of course, a really terrific person, i had gotten to know his wife, casey, for having run a great campaign for president. he did. he ran a really good campaign. i will tell you, it's not easy. they think it's easy doing this stuff, right? it's not easy. but as you know, he left the campaign trail today at 3pm. and in so doing, he was very gracious and he endorsed me. so i appreciate it. live now to cbs news correspondent naomi ruchim who's in new york.

this is bbc news. bbc news bringing you different stories from across the uk. farmore reservoir outside 0xford should have far more water at this time of year, but locals who enjoy walking, fishing and boating here have seen levels drop significantly in the past two weeks, just as nearby roads, some homes and vast areas of agricultural land have been inundated after the recent heavy rainfall. with so much of the south still dealing with the after effects of flooding, it may seem surprising that major reservoirs like this one aren't full to the brim, but as you can see, we're still way below capacity. thames water was unable to give us an interview but confirmed it paused pumping water into the reservoir when recent storms raised the volume of dirt and debris being carried by the rivers that feed farmore. campaigners argue the company has, at least in part, made the situation worse for itself.

in a statement a spokesperson for the duchess of york said... the duchess has also praised the vigilance of her doctors in detecting the problem. news of her condition comes after a challenging few days for the royal family. the princess of wales remains in hospital in london, recovering after undergoing abdominal surgery. and the king will be treated for an enlarged prostate this week. he's expected to be admitted to hospital for an overnight stay in the coming days. daniela relph, bbc news. the uk broadcasting regulator, 0fcom, is to be given more power to regulate the bbc�*s online content, including its news website. it's one of a number of changes, which the government says will give audiences greater confidence that the bbc is being held to account. i'm joined by our culture

correspondent noor nanji. the bbc is increasingly investing a lot into its digitaljournalism, into online services and that is because audiences are increasingly switching from things like television to online content. lots of us now get your news from social media orflicking of us now get your news from social media or flicking through a of us now get your news from social media orflicking through a news website on a phone that perhaps traditional websites. previously, 0fcom has only got over the bbc�*s television radio and on demand output. what will change now is the power of 0fcom will switch and extend to online services as well. that includes things like the bbc news website as well as the bbc�*s youtube channel. those areas over which the bbc has editorial that means 0fcom will have editorial

enforcement action over the areas over which apparently cannot do. —— over which apparently cannot do. —— over which apparently cannot do. —— over which at the moment they cannot do. now on to the movie industry — all eyes will be on los angeles tomorrow for an announcement that will reverberate in film circles around the world. the 0scar nominations are to be revealed — what names will be on that coveted list? several films are expected to get multiple nominations, among them christopher nolan's 0ppenheimer. the highest grossing film of last year, barbie, from film—maker greta gerwig. the much respected epic, killers of the flower moon by veteran director martin scorsese. and poor things, a dark satirical comedy starring emma stone from film—maker yorgos lanthimos. ten movies will be nominated for best picture and this year everyone agrees, even the biggest names in the business, there is no paucity of strong candidates. i've been thinking about the movies killers and 0ppenheimer and poor things, there's so many. and the color purple. so many wonderful movies this year. that is the most exciting part,

to be able to be here and other places around those people that made those movies. at several awards events in recent times, 0ppenheimer has prevailed. the fil could bring cillian murphy, its star, a best actor 0scar. but he faces sdtiff competition from paul giamatti, who has already won best actor prizes for his portral of an ancient history teacher at private boarding school in the holdovers. you are getting a lot of attention for your work right now. does that affect your self—esteem? laughter. i guess it bumps it up, sure, how could it not? it's a very nice thing. yeah, i think it does. i think it takes it up and notch. not too much! best actress seems a prize destined for emma stone, who gives a very memorable performance as the uninhibited and passionate bella baxter in poor things. but that prize could easily go to lily gladstone, who portrays an 0sage woman providing the heart and soul in martin scorsese's killers of the flower moon. gladstone thinks it the film marks

a real turning point in the portral of indigenous people. to have so many indigenous talents getting to be on full display, telling the story that people have gotten very skewed, fantasised versions of, to get a more real telling of that and to have the 0sage nation involved so heavily, it feels historic. british talent has a long tradition of picking up 0scar nominations. in addition to 0ppenheimer�*s cast and crew, carey mulligan plays leonard bernstein's wife in maestro. and for the holocaust film the zone of interest, dircted byjonathan glazer. also, irish actor andrew scott could get nominated for his role in britain's andrew hayes gay romance and ghost story all of us strangers. i love the fact that the film has been marketed without erasing the gay love story out of it because that's what used to happen.

i was thought it was a weird creepy thing to do and also slightly nonsensical. award season is of course taking place against the backdrop of some sobering realities in the outside world — the conflict in the middle east, ongoing war in the ukraine and very politically divisive presidential election campaign here in the us. but awards contenders maintain that the oscar nominations and the associated hoopla do have relevance in these strife—torn times. they believe 0scar season and some of the films out there can help people address problems in the real word with stories that can unify. going into a movie theatre and sitting in the dark with strangers and feeling your common humanity is the power of film. and it has helped coalesce society but now society is unimaginably confused. entertainment is great but we are at a critical point on the planet. so i'm very excited when a film actually goes after something in our

soul and in our consciousness, that we need to understand what we have done if we are to move forward. with audiences for the oscars declining in recent times, the event has become a diminishing spectacle but this year with two blockbusters, barbie and 0ppenheimer, expected to be heavily nominated, the academy are hoping that more people around the world will tune in, giving the telecast a significant and much—needed ratings bump. tom brook, bbc news, new york. as storm isha clears our shores,

we prepare for the next named storm that will be with us on tuesday storm jocelyn, but of course still dealing with the impacts from isha today. gusts of wind across the central belt last night got to 70 to 80 miles an hour, quite widely higher wind gusts elsewhere. of course, it does stay windy for the rest of the afternoon with some sunshine, but also some blustery showers. so if we just take a look at the forecast map, you can see the isobars, a tight squeeze on those. it does stay windy for the rest of the day. still gusts of wind a0 to 50 miles an hour, quite widely higher towards irish sea coast. the winds easing down a little across shetland and there'll be blustery showers, most frequent towards the north and the west, but wintry over the hills of scotland and cooler feeling air to eight to 11 degrees celsius. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, a quieter looking picture as a brief ridge of high pressure keeps us a little more settled. it will feel quite chilly out towards eastern areas, perhaps even a touch of ice across eastern scotland, lows here of two or three degrees celsius.

but we start to see cloud and rain edge in from the south and the west as we head into tomorrow morning. that sets the scene for storm jocelyne. that will be with us on tuesday. damaging gusts of wind with trees and structures already weakened from storm isha. it's taking the same sort of tracks. this deep area of low pressure swings northwards and eastwards just to the north of scotland. it's across western areas of scotland and towards the north of scotland where we could see gusts of wind of up to 75 to 80 miles an hour as we head through tuesday, widely gusts of wind of 45 to 50 miles an hour higher than that towards exposed coastal areas. most of the rain will be towards the north and the west, but some more heavy rain swing in eastwards further south through the day and some very mild feeling air too. but the storm clears. of a north—westerly wind and this will usher in some slightly cooler feeling air. again, it's a much quieter looking day of weather on wednesday with some showers again across north western areas of scotland, perhaps across parts of wales, but also some sunshine. many of us should stay dry.

still rather blustery, though. and then we look out towards the west again on thursday. there will be more weather fronts pushing eastwards. a quieter day of weather again on friday with some sunshine. do keep an eye on the forecast. bye— bye.

today at one: storm isha wreaks havoc with major travel disruption and tens of thousands

of homes left without power. gusts of up to 100 miles per hour were some of the strongest for years, bringing down trees and causing widespread destruction. here in scotland, and 84—year—old man has died. we will have the latest. and we're also getting reports of a death in northern ireland connected to the storm. also this lunchtime... a new nhs campaign to get more children vaccinated against measles amid an alarming rise in cases of the disease. ukraine's armchair warriors — waging war from the living room with drones. we have a special report. game, set, match — zverev. and tie break agony for britain's cameron norrie — out of the australian open. and coming up on bbc news, fifa president gianni infantino calls
