many thousands are still without power, and holiday—makers hoping to leave the tourist areas are being warned of long delays due to a backlog of flights. nick marsh has more. as the rain subsides, the clean—up begins. it's calm now in southern thailand, but this place bore the brunt of the region's worst tropical storm for three decades. it's thought at least two people were killed by storm pabuk, with homes wrecked and hundreds of thousands left without power. many, though, are simply grateful it wasn't worse. translation: the roofs and some rooms were gone. the house is filled with mud. coming back from town, i was thinking the house is completely wrecked. then i saw some roofs were still there. i was relieved. further north, the main tourist islands of koh samui and koh phangan were spared the worst of the wind and the rain. flights and ferry services there are starting to resume — but only very slowly.

thousands of holiday—makers who had been placed in storm shelters overnight have now got the all—clear to leave by the authorities. translation: the waves in the sea are no longer that high now, and tourists are returning to their hotels. we are all doing our best to cope with the situation. so far, there have been no major problems and no reports of casualties. it's highly unusual for thailand to face a storm of such ferocity at this time of year. it's not clear why storm pabuk struck when it did. but given its potential power, it's clear that things could have been a lot worse. nick marsh, bbc news. russia has dismissed suggestions that a former us marine accused of spying could be involved in a prisoner swap. paul whelan, an american who also has british nationality, was detained in moscow last month. his family says he was simply visiting russia to attend a wedding. his lawyer had raised the possibility of a prisoner exchange, but a russian minister

said the arrest was "very serious", and talk of swapping him for a russian detainee — was "inappropriate". ryanair has been voted the worst short—haul airline for the sixth year running, in a survey by the consumer group which. the airline had to cancel scores of flights last summer — because of a series of strikes. ryanair has called the research irrelevant, because it says it's carrying more passengers than ever. here's our transport correspondent, tom burridge. ryanair is by far europe's largest low—cost airline. but the consumer group which said it was by far the worst rated short—haul airline in an annual survey, which asked nearly 8000 of its members about recent experiences on 19 different airlines. which said ryanair‘s overall score was dismal, with the airline was my reputation declining significantly over the past year. 2018 wasn't a good year for ryanair. multiple strikes by its staff

across europe men huge disruption multiple strikes by its staff across europe meant huge disruption for hundreds of thousands of passengers over the summer. the airlines werejudged on criteria such as boarding, seating, customer service and value for money. thomas cook and wizz air also came out badly. easyjet was somewhere in the middle. and jet2 near the top. ryanair described in the ratings as irrelevant. it said it is now carried mi million passengers each year. an increase of 78% injust six years. donald trump says that the partial us government shutdown, now entering its third week, could last months or even years. democrats are refusing to fund mr trump's wall along the border with mexico. officials from the white house and congress are meeting again this afternoon. mr trump says he is considering declaring a national emergency in order to build the wall —

without congressional approval. our correspondent david willis is in washington. it is day 15 in the partial government shutdown here and president trump nominated his son—in—lanared kushner, the vice president mike pence and the homeland security secretary kirsten nielsen to negotiate on his behalf and a few hours ago, the president tweeted saying, great support coming from all side for border security including wall on our very dangerous southern border. he went on, the democrats could solve the shutdown problem in a very short period of time, all they have to do is approve real border security including a wall. and, of course, it is that structure along the us mexican border that lies at the heart of this. the president says such a structure is needed to keep out gangs and drugs and terrorists.

the democrats argue that it is wasteful, ineffective, and un—american. and they also accuse president trump of holding federal employees, 800,000 of them, in total, hostage over his plans for the wall. what about this talk, this suggestion that he has brought up of declaring a national emergency? yes, it would be a controversial move were he to go in that direction and almost certainly there will be some in his own party, in fact, who would be against it. and there would almost certainly be legal challenges to it as well. president trump said he is not planning to do it any time soon but he does make the point that it is a possiblity and it is something that

he has up his sleeve, and such a move is really normally reserved for times of war. not getting out of political scrambles such as this so it would be a highly controversial move about the president has also said of course that this is an impasse. a dispute that could go on for months, if not years. the headlines on bbc news... police name the man who was fatally stabbed on a train in surrey — as 51—year—old lee pomeroy. a man's been arrested in connection with the murder. smokers and problem drinkers admitted to hospital in england will get help to quit or cut down — to reduce demands on the health service. the police watchdog begins an inquiry after a 31—year—old man is shot dead by armed officers in coventry. in sport, no third—round fa cup shocks to ship. at old trafford, manchester united beat championship

known but polish authorities say they will continue to investigate what caused this tragedy. ukraine's orthodox church has been formally recognised by the world head of orthodox christians — at a ceremony in istanbul. the decision has sparked fury in russia. until now, the two churches have been linked, a relationship which stretches back centuries. our correspondent in the ukranian capital, kiev, jonah fisher, reports. was this the moment that split the global orthodox church? in st george's cathedral in istanbul, the ecumenical patriarch bartholomew signs what is known as a tomos. the document recognises ukraine's orthodox church, for the first time, as separate and outside russian control. a relationship that has lasted centuries ended with the stroke of a pen. watching on, and enjoying

a rare moment of success, was ukraine's president, petro poroshenko. he's called this the final step in ukraine's independence from russia. translation: glory to god. without his will, this would not have been possible. i say thank you to metropolitan bartholomew — to his faith. the big questions are about what happens next. the russian orthodox church, facing the loss of millions of followers, has already condemned the decision and severed ties with the ecumenical patriarch. will other countries now refuse to recognise the new ukrainian church? there will be celebrations over the next few days, here in ukraine, to mark this historic moment. what remains unresolved, though, is the fate of the thousands of parishes and religious sites that are still under the control of the russian orthodox church. this could turn out to be

a very messy divorce. a bid to smear the youngest woman elected to the us congress has backfired. a video of alexandria ocasio—cortez, dancing while she was a student at boston university, was shared just a day before the 29 year old was officially sworn in to congress. but, instead of discrediting her, many people have instead celebrated her dance moves. laura westbrook reports. this is a video of a girl dancing. but it is who is dancing has got people talking. alexandria ocasio—cortez is the youngest woman ever elected to the us congress. this footage from 2010 is when she

and other students at boston university tried to recreate a scene from the movie breakfast club. it was posted on twitter to try and discredit the congresswoman. the day before she was sworn into office. but the tactic backfired. many instead took to social media to praise her. molly ringwald, the actress from the breakfast club said... while others responded asking for dancing lessons. even russell crowe tweeted his admiration. alexandria ocasio—cortez is part of a new wave of faces in the most diverse congress in history. but the 29—year—old in particular has been the subject of intense scrutiny online, with critics calling her out for what she wears, to trying to discredit her financial struggles. what this highlights is just how divided the political landscape in america is.

the congresswoman responded to the controversy with another video. as congress enters a new era, this new lawmaker isn't afraid for her critics to know that she dances to a different tune. research by the telecoms regulator ofcom shows the amount of time people spend using a landline has halved over the past five years. the use of mobile data has rocketed during the same period, to almost two gigabytes per person, per month. andrew fergusson is a consumer telecoms expert at the news website think broadband. speaking a little earlier, he said he wasn't surprised by the figures. there has been a slow shift happening and it is very much a case of line rental is the thing that everyone hates to pay for, but we have to for the broadband. there has been a move already towards not actually talking

about line rental and just the combined price of line rental and broadband. so people are starting to forget it. it is changing, one of the problems is the costs of making a call if you make a call from a land line is increasing and that is something ofcom will have to watch for to make sure those who are reliant on their landlines don't get price—gouged. we are seeing that, people complaining about call connection charges. it is can 20 pence for a ten second call. the idea is it encourages you to take the call bundles and they have a guaranteed revenue stream. 19 or20p 19 or 20p for the first or second call. mountaineering experts say the risks of winter climbing should not be under—estimated following the deaths of two young climbers on ben nevis in recent weeks. a student from germany

died on new year's day, while another young climber — 21—year—old patrick boothroyd from west yorkshire —died on the mountain in december. here's our scotland correspondent, james shaw. ben nevis, the highest mountain in the british isles and, for that reason, extremely popular with walkers and climbers. but the paths across its north face can be dangerous. this is what's known as the ledge route. on new year's day, a student from bristol university fell 500 feet down the mountain from this path and was killed. her three companions were rescued by a coastguard helicopter. the actual helicopter managed to winch them off the crag from where they were and i was below the crag, which was carn dearg buttress, where, unfortunately, she'd fallen. it was the second death in recent weeks. patrick boothroyd, who was 21, died in december. tens of thousands of people climb ben nevis every year. most use this path to the summit,

which is relatively straightforward, but some, including the two students who died recently, attempt the rock faces and gullies on the northside, which, even in the best weather, are never free of risk. many new climbers use professional guides. this group is returning from the mountain after a training day. it's horrible to hear of accidents and fatalities in the mountains, especially because it's such a life—affirming thing to do. despite all of our best efforts, we can't control everything. it is a risky environment and sometimes things go wrong fairly randomly. experienced climbers know and accept the dangers of scaling britain's highest peak. those with less experience may not be so aware that this place can be beautiful and deadly. james shaw, bbc news, ben nevis. a japanese restaurant owner has paid a record $3.1 million for a single

pacific bluefin tuna. the new record was set at the first tuna auction of 2019 — at tokyo's toyosu fish market. from tokyo, rupert wingfield hayes, reports. many traders were expecting a new record to be set at this year's opening tuna auction — and they were not disappointed. the price paid by kiyoshi kimura for his 278 kilo prize was far higher than his own previous record. he is known as japan's tuna king and the price he pays at the annual new year's auction bears only a vague relation to the actual price of tuna. on a normal day a similar sized fish would sell for around £45,000. today's record is in part about status and it creates a lot on a normal day a similar sized fish would sell for around £45,000. today's record is in part about status and it creates a lot of publicity for mr kimura and his sushi empire —
