ian hislopjoins the bbc‘s media editor amol rajan to look back at this year's front covers, cartoons and satire. eight people are known to have died in australia's bushfires in the past 2a hours, with more missing, in the worst loss of life since the crisis began. more military personnel are on the way, to try to protect isolated communities in the south—east of the country. many are cut off, without power, and some are running out of water. phil mercer has sent this report. these are extraordinary times in australia. the bushfires have brought terror into the lives of ordinary people.

they are devastating and deadly. more lives have been lost and hundreds of homes have been destroyed. you walk around a bit of your house and you go, that was the bedroom, that was where my antiques were from my family history, all of my baby memories from the kids and just everything, just gone. i don't know what i'm going home to, so... ijust hope for the best. it's upsetting to lose your memories, that's very upsetting. but you can't dwell on it, you know? if you dwell on it, you'd just be upset all the time and that doesn't get you anywhere, you've got to move on. help is yet to reach some residents who've reportedly suffered burns. the authorities say it's been too dangerous to send in rescue teams by road or by air. we have a very real challenge at the moment with a couple of isolated communities, where we've got reports of injuries and burn injuries to members of the public.

we haven't been able to get access via roads or via aircraft, it's been socked in or too dangerous and we simply can't access, nor can the people in these areas get out. conditions on new year's day have eased, but the danger remains. dozens of fires continue to burn across several states. bushfires have always been part of the australian story, but officials say this crisis is unprecedented. dry and windy weather is forecast for saturday and australia will once again brace itself for another onslaught. phil mercer, bbc news, sydney. three people were killed and a fourth seriously injured in a crash involving a car and a lorry on new year's eve. the accident happened in stanwell in surrey, very close to london's heathrow airport. earlier i spoke to our

news correspondent, tolu adeoye, who is there and told us the latest. horrendous news for the start of 2020. it was at about 11:40 last night, new year's eve, when this accident happened, involving a lorry and a car carrying four young people. in the early hours of this morning, surrey police confirmed that three people were killed, two men aged 23 and 25, and a woman, who was 20 years old. we also know that a second woman was taken to a london hospital, where she is being treated for serious injuries. now, if we look behind me, the scene has now been cleared, but you can see where trees have been flattened there. we understand the lorry ended up on the other side of the road, in the longford road river, which is just over that bank. and what is known about the lorry driver? well, we understand the lorry driver wasn't injured in the accident, but was taken to hospital as a precaution. this afternoon, we have had it confirmed that that lorry belonged to the air

services provider dnata. this area is an industrial area close to heathrow airport, and the company actually has a base just a couple of hundred metres further down the road. no arrests have yet been made in relation to the collision. police are very much still investigating. we know the next of kin of the victims have been informed about what has happened, but their identities have not yet been revealed. a formerjustice minister in cyprus has called for a british teenager — convicted on monday of lying about being gang—raped in the resort of ayia napa — to be given a "very lenient sentence. the teenager's mother has backed calls for tourists to boycott the country. the woman told the bbc that ayia napa — where her daughter had been on a working holiday — was unsafe. the foreign office has expressed what they call "serious concerns" about the case. john donnison reports. it's two days since the young british woman walked out of a cypriot court having been found guilty of falsely claiming she was raped by 12 men.

her supporters say both the police investigation and the court process were flawed and her lawyers are planning to appeal. now, the 19—year—old's mother has told the bbc of the impact the case has had on her daughter's mental health. her words are read by an actor to protect both of their identities. she's suffering from ptsd. she spends a lot of time with hypersomnia at the moment. that means she's sleeping an awful lot of the day. she sleeps probably 18, 20 hours a day. she's also quite withdrawn, which is very sad for me to see, and she also experiences hallucinations and she needs to get back to the uk to get that treated. that's my absolute primary focus. these are the young israeli tourists who originally faced accusations that they'ad raped the young woman. they were freed and allowed to fly home after she retracted the allegation. but she said she only did that because she was put under huge pressure by police questioning

when she was vulnerable. now, her mother is supporting a call for tourists to boycott cyprus. this is not an isolated incident. the place isn't safe. it's absolutely not safe. and if you go and report something that's happened to you, you're either laughed at, as far as i can tell, or, in the worst case, something like what's happened to my daughter may happen. the foreign office has called the teenager's case deeply disturbing and says it will be speaking to the authorities in cyprus. the cypriot government says it has full confidence in its justice system and courts. jon donnison, bbc news. a double murder investigation has been launched after two people were found dead at a house in derbyshire. officers were called to a property in duffield at about 4 o'clock this morning where they discovered the bodies of a man and woman. a man arrested on suspicion of murder remains in custody. detectives say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.

a man has died and four people have suffered serious injuries in a car crash in manchester. police say they were called at 3:30 this morning to a collision between a black mercedes and a skoda octavia in the fallowfield area of the city. the 59—year—old driver of the skoda died in hospital a short time later, while five other men were taken to hospital. four have serious injuries, including one who is in a serious condition. paramilitary groups who have been protesting against us air strikes in iraq have withdrawn from the perimeter of the american embassy in baghdad. the demonstration took place amid anger over us air strikes that killed 25 members of the militia — that was in response to attacks on american military targets. jonathan josephs reports. the bitter struggle between the us and iran is once again playing out on the streets of iraq. protesters and iranian—backed militias setting fire to the american embassy

in baghdad as they attacked it for a second day. again, they've been pushed back with tear gas and stun grenades. many spent the night camped outside, determined to stand up to the us, which still has thousands of troops in their country. translation: this is not the first time the us have hit us. we will never move from here. i swear on god and my life, until they leave here. translation: we are holding a sit—in for the souls of our martyrs until the departure of the american occupiers. but america shows no sign of backing down. it's released these images of marines preparing to leave their base in kuwait. around 750 additional soldiers have been deployed to the region. and this group have already arrived at the embassy in baghdad to reinforce its defences. amid his new year celebrations, president trump warned he wouldn't

allow a repeat of the 2012 storming of the us consulate in the libyan city of benghazi, where four americans were killed. the marines came in, we had some great warriors come in and do a fantasticjob and they were there instantaneously, as soon as we heard. i use the word immediately, they came immediately and it's in great shape, as you know, this will not be a benghazi. benghazi should never have happened. this will never ever be a benghazi. president trump blames iran for the death of an american contractor at an iraqi military base last week. he responded with these air strikes against the iranian—backed militia, kataib hezbollah, at the weekend. 25 people were killed. that's drawn strong condemnation from iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei who said president trump's threats were hollow and that his country would defend its interests. these protests come amid a us—iran

relationship that has deteriorated since washington pulled out of the nuclear weapons deal in 2018. and, all the while, iraq finds itself stuck in the middle, trying to help the us see off the so—called islamic state group but, at the same time, trying to protect its relationship with neighbouring iran. north korea's leader kimjong—un has suggested the country could restart nuclear and long—range missile tests. he said north korea was no longer obliged to suspend those tests, as had been agreed during talks with the us. mr kim made the announcement at a government meeting two days ago, but appears to have cancelled his traditional new year's speech. police in hong kong have clashed with pro—democracy protesters during a new year's day march. 0rganisers of the demonstration say that more than a million people took part. though the gathering was largely peaceful, violence broke out in some areas and police fired tear gas. some protestors responded

by throwing petrol bombs. today's demonstations follow clashes with riot police as the new decade began. police say around 400 people were arrested over protests at the turn of the new year. pro—democracy demonstrations have gripped hong kong for much of last year. hope and reconciliation are the main themes in a number of today's new year messages. borisjohnson has said that 2020 can allow the country to turn the page on the division and uncertainty of recent years. he's pledged to represent all voters, and said that the new year means the start of a new chapter. sport now, and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. loads of action in the new year football to start. leicester have cut liverpool's premier league lead to ten points by beating newcastle 3—0 at stjames' park. it was a comfortable victory. ca relessness by newcastle defender florian lejeune,

allowed former teammate ayoze perez to open the scoring. then moments later the frenchman gave the ball away again. james maddison with a spectacularfinish. hamza choudhury completed the victory with the first senior goal of his career. southampton‘s danny ings says he's loving football at the moment and no wonder. after years of injury misery he's on course for the most prolific season of his career. his 13th premier league goal of the campaign was enough to beat tottenham 1—0. and watford's resurgence under nigel pearson continues. gerard delofue got the first against wolves, finishing after some poor defending. abdoulaye doucoure made it two, with a stunning strike. wolves pulled a goal back with pedro neto, but couldn't find an equaliser. despite watford having a man sent off. 2—1 to watford the score. there were two lunchtime matches —

brighton earned a 1—1 draw against chelsea, thanks to a stunning late equaliser. and jack grealish scored a goal to remember for aston villa, which proved the difference as they beat burnley 2—1. lydia campbell reports. at the turn of the last decade, aston villa were on their way to a sixth—placed finish in the premier league. now they lie in the relegation zone in need of a new year boost. jack grealish thought he had founded ten minutes in but var had its own say. wesley offside in the build—up. but the brazilian made amends soon after, driving home through nick pope to give villa a deserved lead. and thenjack grealish did get his goal. no var intervention this time. villa have been known to surrender leads this season and a chris wood header ten minutes before the end set up a nervy ending. but they did manage to hold on and have leapt out of the relegation zone for now.

i could see from the players eyes today when they went out there that they were ready for this today. some people make it very hard, and they know how to stay in this league. we felt that we could go and compete with them today. if we competed with the players that we have got, who are the players that we have got, who a re really the players that we have got, who are really good footballers, and i thought we would show that in the first half. in brighton, cesar azpilicueta gave chelsea the lead with a bundled finish. and it looked like that would be enough for lampard's men until an early contender for goal of the decade from alireza jahanbakhsh, forcing chelsea to share the points. i've tried to do my best for the team, and obviously when you finish up team, and obviously when you finish up with such a goal, it couldn't be any better. i try to hit as hard as can. a goal worthy of taking points from any match, the day to remember for this player. three more matches get underway in the next quarter of an hour.

manchester city host everton, crystal palace are at norwich, and west ham — with david moyes back in charge — play bournemouth at the london stadium. and the big one this evening, arsenal versus manchester united at the emirates. there are plenty of matches in the football league too, including 10 matches in the championship. millwall beat luton 3—1 in the early kick. they went behind, but three goals in a quick—fire spell in the second half — including this cracker from connor mahoney — moves them into the playoffs. luton lose their fifth match in six games. and finish the day bottom of the table. elsewhere in the championship, loads of goals to get 2020 off with a bang. brentford won 4—0 away at bristol city. stoke gain valuable points down at the bottom, with a 5—2 victory at huddersfield. and qpr hammered cardiff 6 goals to 1. sheffield wednesday and preston failed to move into the top 6, after both lost their matches today.

the one to watch now is leeds, against west brom. both level on points at the top, leed ahead on goal difference, that match just kicked off. joffre archer is a doubt for england's second test against south africa which starts in cape town on friday. the bowler is suffering with an elbow injury. archer took a total of six wickets in the first test which england lost — eleven players were hit by a sickness bug which affected preparations for that series opener. all players were well enough to train this morning. that's all the sport for now. you can keep up to date with all the football scores and the rest of the day's sport on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. now on bbc news it's time for the weather with phil avery. hello. at its best, the day really not too bad at all. there are some decent gaps in the cloud particularly across the north of wales, the north of england and the north—eastern quarter of scotland. elsewhere, though, a lot of cloud, but it's a fairly settled start to the new year, although quite breezy across the north—west quarter

with a lot of isobars on that particular chart. through the evening and overnight, some of the gaps may well persist, particularly to the eastern side of the pennines, the north—eastern quarter of scotland. if that's the case with you, then temperatures will dribble away. not overly cold for the time of year. many of you will not be scraping the cars first up on thursday, but the dramatic change on thursday is that we will see, not one, but two weather fronts affecting northern and western parts of the british isles. on what will be a noticeably breezy day across many parts, a lot of cloud again ahead of those weather fronts. there you see the extent of that rain on into the afternoon and eventually rocking up into parts of wales. generally speaking, the further south and east you are, the drier your day will be. take care, goodbye.

the new year brings several appeals for ‘divisions to be healed', after the political turbulence of the past few years. as millions celebrated the dawn of 2020, in towns and cities across the united kingdom, political and religious leaders called on individuals and communities to come together. the bushfire crisis in australia shows no signs of easing. nine people have lost their lives in the past 2a hours. a road accident in surrey overnight. two men and a woman, all in their 20s, have died. the mother of a british woman, convicted of lying about being raped in cyprus, has backed calls for tourists to boycott the country.

football — and it‘s a busy new year‘s day in the premier league — with leicester continuing their pursuit of the runaway leaders liverpool. they beat newcastle 3—0. meanwhile chelsea could only manage a draw against brighton, who equalised with a spectacular late goal. katie gornall reports. ten years ago, frank lampard stepped off the chelsea bus as one of the players. now he leads them from the dugout. a trip to brighton his first assignment of the new year and the early signs were good. cesar azpilicueta taking just ten minutes to score the first goal of 2020. brighton were poor for most of the match and with six minutes left looked to be heading for defeat, until a spectacular intervention. commentator: what a goal! alireza jahanbakhsh with the goal of the decade — so far. the points were shared at the amex but the headlines belonged to one man only. at turf moor, a new year but the same old var controversies. jack grealish thought he‘d scored for aston villa. it was ruled out following forensic examination of an offside.

booing commentator: you can hear what the entire stadium thinks of this delay. football‘s lawmakers said recently it should only be used to correct clear and obvious errors. well, try finding one here. commentator: it's been ruled out. 0ffside given. grealish was at the heart of everything for villa, and there was no keeping him out for long. commentator: wow! 2—0 here, and although burnley would get one back, villa held on for a win that lifts them out of the relegation zone. leicester are currently the closest challengers to liverpool. they faced newcastle united, who were in a generous mood. commentator: ayoze perez! minutes later, united were scrambling again and when the ball landed at james maddison‘s feet, there was no way back. commentator: how about that?! 3—0 it finished. leicester starting the year as they mean to go on. there were also important wins for southampton and watford, while the wait is nearly over for david moyes, who will take charge of his first game since returning to west ham against fellow strugglers bournemouth. both club and manager hoping the new year brings a change of fortune.

katie gornall, bbc news. for the first time, more than 100 billion music tracks have been streamed online in the uk, in a single year. it comes at the end of a decade that saw many more of us abandoning the cd, and embracing the digital streaming and downloads. 0ur entertainment correspondent colin paterson has more details. # these are the moments that i‘m going to remember most, yeah. oh, how a decade has changed how we consume music. 2010 started withjoe mcelderry‘s the climb at number one. at that stage, cd singles were being phased out, as paid—for downloads dominated. # there‘s always going to be another mountain # i‘m always gonna wanna make it move... fast forward to the end of the decade. 2019, the first year in uk history when more than 100 billion tracks were streamed. # i was getting kind of used to being someone you loved... the most listened—to song,

lewis capaldi‘s someone you loved, which was streamed more than 228 million times. that‘s the equivalent of every person in the uk playing it three and a half times. there has been a huge shift from analogue and physical product through to streaming and digital, although we‘ve reached a point now where we‘re enjoying the best of all worlds, where we tend to go online and we stream and 75% of us now stream for our day—to—day needs and access to music and discovery. sales of vinyl lps increased for a 12th consecutive year, with liam gallagher‘s why me? why not, topping the year—end charts, but to put that in context, it only shifted 29,000 copies on vinyl. # christmas time, christmas time, merry christmas. # and a happy new year... and then there‘s the cassette revival. sales have increased by 600%

in the last three years, with acts such as robbie williams choosing to release on their favourite ‘80s format. # so here it is, merry christmas... the rather large caveat — cassette sales account for 0.1% of overall recorded music, so things are not going colin paterson, bbc news. we‘re back with the late news at 11:05pm.

as a new decade arrives, businesses around the world are under pressure to improve their sustainable credentials to consumers — and the fashion industry is no different. globalfashion production produces 1.2 billion tonnes of carbon per year,

more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. how can an industry of mass consumerism change? could swapping rather than selling help? a little earlier i spoke to roberta lee, a fashion stylist who specialises in environmentally—friendly clothing. she says more people are starting to swap clothes instead of buying them new. last year we saw such an increase. you can barely go a weekend in london now without finding a clothing swap happening somewhere. so i think people are noticing that clothing swaps are happening. people have lots of clothes that they are no longer wearing and charity shops are a little overrun with things. it‘s just a new kind of vehicle for people to be able to discover new things without actually having to buy anything new. so it‘s a really great opportunity for us to keep clothes in circulation. and you do it how? is it via an online system, or what? there are lots of different ways

to do it, but most often it‘s in person meet up, and an organiser will have rails, hangers, invite you to come and deposit your clothes. you might get some tokens, so you can exchange value, or some of them just have an open policy where you can donate as much as you want and you can go home with as much as you want as long as it fits. as i introduced you, people will notice that you have brought some items with you. what‘s the significance of what you have in front of you? i think, there is one of these things around clothing swaps, they kind of sometimes might have a bit of a negative image. like, i don‘t want someone else‘s old clothes. so i wanted to bring along something i got from a clothing swap. it looks great, yeah. and i actually went to a swap just before christmas and i found this lovely skirt, which is a well known brand. its price point is, you know, it‘s reasonably expensive, i would say, for a skirt. not necessarily something you would think about picking up at a clothing swap, but i wanted to bring this to show you can find these wonderful, timeless gems that clothing swaps,

and it‘s not always about having to go out and buy something new. ok, so that is item one. what‘s next on the table? next on the table, well, sometimes there is a need to buy something new. this is a great example of when, as a stylist i suggest investing in something that‘s good quality. this is 100% white organic t—shirt. the reason why this one, i‘ve brought along, is because it is a wardrobe staple. you know, you‘re going to use a t—shirt. it‘s going to stay in your wardrobe for many years to come. as long as the quality‘s good, it means it‘s not going to end up going to landfill. so it‘s about thinking about, when is the right time to pick up the bargains during those clothing swaps and then there are items like this where it‘s worth investing a little more money into the brands that are acting ethically and sustainably to produce these items. so because of the way it‘s made, that ticks the sustainable box.

it does indeed, yes. and next to you, just to your left, something slightly different. we do indeed. this one here, i really love this one. it‘s a beautiful little bag, a little sonia pouch, and it‘s made from recycled plastic bottles. and remnants of the fabric from the floor of the fashion industry. it has been repurposed, what is essentially trash, into treasure. and this particular brand also donates a meal to a person in need in brazil. so it‘s kind of a double whammy. this is an example of a business that is really doing good in the world and making sure waste is diverted from landfill. i‘m sure most people watching our thinking, watching are thinking, that‘s all great, all laudable and we like all that. do we have to make a bit of an extra effort to find it. does that then put some people off? i think with all things, if you want to do the right thing, you want to do good, it requires some effort. there is a 67% increase in people searching for sustainable

fashion according to list, which is the fashion website. say,. i run ethical brand directory, which is a resource which makes it easier for people to find the brands that are doing the right thing. so there are resources out there. it‘s just a case of having to be conscious and think before you rush out and buy something. and in terms of what you wear, you are following a lot of what we talk about? absolutely, i try to practice what i preach, but i‘m also quite balanced in the respect that there isn‘t absolutely everything that you need available, that‘s accessible at a moment‘s need. so you have to get this balanced approach. for me, for example, i‘m wearing vintage leather right now. and some people might argue that wearing leather, it‘s not very ethical. i was about to suggest that, yes! but vintage leather, however, that‘s already in circulation.

so the most sustainable thing we can do is keep a close we can do is keep clothing going for longer. i‘m not sure if you are aware of this statistic, butjust by keeping clothes in circulation for an extra nine months, it can help reduce the carbon water and waste by 30% in just one year. that‘s a staggering amount of reduction just by keeping what we‘ve already got in existence going. now on bbc news, private eye‘s editor, ian hislop, joins the bbc‘s media editor amol rajan to look back on a fascinating year of front covers, cartoons and satire. hello. ian. come in. good to see you. now, you are everywhere. thank you for having us in, thank you so much. how do you come up with a private eye cover like those? well, this was when theresa may, who — do you remember her? she was around at the beginning of the year. um, she used to be prime minister.

anyway, she left and we had to think "how can we pay tribute to mrs may?" so i thought "perhaps a blank page will be good" and so we have the theresa may memorial issue — her legacy in full. and a little thing at the bottom, saying "er, thank you". which, again, seems quite cruel, but was quite funny at the time. do you know how each of those — do you ever keep tabs on how each of those sell? yeah. yeah, that was a seller. i‘m afraid that was popular! and nigel farage? nigel farage. this is great. he‘s always good. partly because he always does photo opportunities, so having been accused of having a party full of fruitca kes, he does a photo op eating a fruit cake. i mean, it is fantastic. i mean, he does thejoke for us. boris johnson‘s private life has furnished you with cover ideas and this time you had a pretty busy one withjennifer arcuri. this was a smut special.

there was a proper public interest in the story, public money had gone to this women who dances around the lap dancing pole, but essentially the joke was that boris had yet again been caught out. he is saying, i need technology lessons, and she is saying, floppy disk or hard drive. there is a properjoke here, with boris saying to his new girlfriend, carrie, "i do not lie to women any more," and she says, "except the the queen." that is not a legal problem. that is the supreme courtjudgment. this is ourjob, reporting. and you sometimes jump on anniversaries, too? yes. this is when boris became prime minister, which many people equate with an event as unlikely as landing on the moon. but he did, and there‘s this brilliant picture of him just going into number 10, so we did it as the loon landing, a souvenir issue —

one small step for man and a giant leap in the dark for mankind! and put it in black and white. and in terms of your annual, when you‘ve got a year to get through — you‘ve done many of these annuals, of course — when you‘ve got to curate a year, what you were saying a moment ago is whatjournalism is about, what is your starting point with thinking about how we deal with this? do you just think "let‘s get the bestjokes" or do you think "we really need to reflect the year"? i try and get the bestjokes and if we‘ve been dull about a particular subject or have not covered it well, i try and leave it out. i mean, we‘re exhaustive, but the idea is to be entertaining. you‘ve been personally committed, haven‘t you, to trying to reverse the decline of the english cartoonist? yes. why have you and private eye kept up with your investment in cartoons? um, because, um, people like them and the mag sells. no, obviously, it‘s a much more elevated reason than that. no, i love cartoons! and i think that one of the things that print can do is reproduce sort of beautiful drawings that are funny.
