this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00... the body of the iranian general assasinated by the us on iraqi soil is returned, as borisjohnson says "we will not lament" his death." chanting. anti—american slogans are heard in parliament in tehran — the united states says it is preparing for any iranian response. there is still risk of attack, of course there is. there is tremendous risk. we are doing everything we can to make sure that we take that down and protect american lives. the australian prime minister warns that the bushfire emergency could last for months and announces the creation of a recovery agency, to help those who've lost homes. i didn't see any flame. i saw this great white ball of fire.

that is all i can describe it as, just this white hot ball of fire. the argument about leave or remain is over, says keir starmer, as hejoins the race to be the next labour leader. the first big event of the awards season — the golden globes takes place tonight in hollywood. and we ll be taking another look at the papers with our reviewers journalist and broadcaster caroline frost and the parliamentary journalist tony grew. good evening. the prime minister borisjohnson has said he will not lament the death of the top iranian general, killed by a us missile strike in baghdad. but he called for a de—escalation of the situation on all sides. but president trump has threatened to "strike back" and "perhaps

in a disproportionate manner" if iran attacks an american citizen or target. meanwhile, nato says it will hold an urgent meeting tomorrow after iraqi mps passed a resolution calling for foreign troops to leave the country. and in iran, huge crowds have turned out to mourn general solaimani's death. the country has declared that it will no longer abide by any of the restrictions imposed by the 2015 nuclear deal. our diplomatic correspondent james robbins reports. hundreds of thousands of iranians have been mourning general soleimani and apparently getting behind their leaders promising revenge. the chants are familiar, including "death to america," but the context has radically changed. the war of words from both sides is intensifying. president trump has now tweeted a new threat of massive retaliation, perhaps disproportionate. earlier he wrote...

is there still risk of attack? of course there is, there is a tremendous risk. we are doing everything we can to make sure we take that down and protect american lives — that is the mission set. under enormous american pressure, britain is adjusting its political stance, slightly. the prime minister, now back from his caribbean holiday, has issued a statement saying... britain does not lament general soleimani's death but does urge de—escalation by all sides. iran's most significant action so far is the announcement that it will no long accept any limit on its ability to enrich uranium, which can be used in nuclear weapons. iran officially denies having such a weapons programme, but the country has steadily been moving away from its nuclear deal with key powers since president trump abandoned the agreement in 2018.

in the iraqi capital, baghdad, where the general was killed in the american strike, iraq's parliament has expressed its outrage, voting for the removal of all foreign forces from the country, although the decision is not necessarily binding. iraq's prime minister said the united states has put his country in a difficult position. translation: after the us pulled out of the nuclear agreement with iran, it started to be more tough with iran and the us started adopting a policy of with us or against us, and no option in between. and that is a hard position for iraq to be in. america is busy sending reinforcements to the wider region. in practice, around 5,000 us forces in iraq are unlikely to leave soon, but the us—led coalition has announced a pause in training of iraqi forces and operations against is, or daesh. the whole focus now will be

on protecting its bases. tonight, in iran's holy city of mashhad, many thousands more iranians have turned out to mourn as the remains of general soleimani continue a nationwide journey ahead of his burial on tuesday. fears are growing that a ratcheting up of violence in the region seems far more likely than the emergence of a new path away from violence. james robbins, bbc news. 0ur chief international correspondent lyse doucet is in neighbouring afghanistan and says there are no signs of tensions easing in the region. so much is unravelling now across the region and so fast. we have had reports that more rockets have been fired in the direction of the us embassy in baghdad and we have been reporting how iran has taken another step away from the nuclear deal but there is a small sliver of light.

iran clarified it was not completely abandoning the deal and that it would be ready to return to talks if europe does more to save the deal and if the us eases sanctions. those are pretty big ifs around the current crisis but the eu, like others, is calling for a straight and has invited for restraint and has invited the iranian foreign minister to brussels for talks put it more louder voices are coming from iranian friends in the region including the lebanese has a leader who tonight declared an eye for an eye, saying that now all us military assets in the region are a fair target so retaliation seems certain. the more urgent question is what next, and no one seems able to answer that and with president trump's latest tweet, that must be most worrying of all.

lyse doucet, thank you. earlier i spoke to dr renad mansour, a senior research fellow in the middle east programme and project director of the iraq initiative at chatham house — a foreign affairs think—tank. i asked him what he thinks could happen next after iraqi mps passed a non—binding resolution calling forforeign troops to leave. this resolution, i would say, is more political messaging, political signalling. everyone is expecting a response, a retaliation, almost revenge for what happened and the iraqi government, and in particular the iraqi prime minister wanted to come out immediately with some kind of response, and barring the kind of security, it has wider implications on many levels. this is the first time, if it goes through, that the iraqi government is foretelling, forcing american troops to leave their territory. until now, there was a small group of iraqi politicians close to iran who would constantly be saying this but it was often thought that many of the other sides understood the importance that the us had, the us troops had on the fight against isis and other issues in the country. with this strike, with what the parliament is signalling,

even with some of the rhetoric that you see coming out of the parliament, very clearly things have changed. how can the united states be compelled to remove their troops because it seems it is a double—edged sword for the americans if they do leave and if they don't? yes, until now, the iraqi government is an ally of the us. they have a forces agreement with each other, they work together. they fought together fighting isis, and in post—isis iraq they have been working together. if the iraqi government, and again, beyond what happened today, there is a legal process, there will need to be a law that effectively demands that the us leave, the us troops have a decision. if they decide to stay, they certainly can, but what you start to hear more and more is the word "occupier" and that they are here illegally and this is the type of rhetoric and this is the type of language that you are already beginning to see from some of those camps in iraq who are anti—american and also closer to iran.

australia's prime minister has warned that the bush fires emergency could last for months. scott morrison announced that a recovery agency would help those who've lost homes and businesses. the fires are burning around the country — but some of the worst are in australia's most populous state, new south wales. there has been some rain, but not enough to extinguish the flames. clive myrie reports. look at that road. this bushfire season is like no other in modern australian history. i mean, this is unprecedented, what we're having here. i mean, the whole country is alight. within half an hour it was, "get out, it's too late to leave." you know, "you should seek shelter."

this is a thousand times worse. this is catastrophic. all the fires up the coast are catastrophic. worry etches the faces of those who fled to this hotel from the small town of bundanoon. their homes encircled by two monster fires. the smell of smoke is present even here. by 9:30, i thought i was ok. judy coverdale is one of those who escaped with her life. it was just like a volcanic plume, just growing and growing, red. so, it's getting closer and closer and at this stage you're thinking, i've got to get out. yes. so then i could hear it. i thought i could hear this large fire. it is a disaster, a national disaster. judy sets out to try to establish

if her home has been destroyed. we are going back in to see how far we can get. up ahead, not fog but a thick wall of smoke from the giant fire a few kilometres away. but she hits a police roadblock. can we get near bundanoon? she is told it is too dangerous. they won't let her through. it is unclear if her house is still standing. the prime minister, scott morrison, visited a naval base today having enlisted the military in this unprecedented emergency. this is the largest single call—out ever of defence force reservists, working together with our full—time defence forces, to provide a support which this country has never seen before. but missteps, including going on holiday as parts of his nation burned, have smashed public confidence, especially in those who have had to escape the fires. reallyjust makes you angry when i see on the television our prime minister speaking. i'd just prefer that he didn't.

nearby we came across this trailer belonging to ron murdoch, who is 7a. he packed what mattered to him as he escaped the flames. they were handmade in chile... one of many tens of thousands in australia's biggest peacetime mass evacuation. it is, it is my life now, and that is what i was trying to salvage — my life. in a country proud of its biodiversity forests are stripped bare. and half a billion animals have perished, many littering roads. it is really, really disturbing. that is just such a waste. when will this nightmare end? heavy rain is not forecast for eight long weeks. at the same time as those fires rage in south—east australia —

extreme weather has been unfolding 3,500 miles away in indonesia, where floods have killed 60 people and displaced thousands from the capital, jakarta. duncan kennedy reports. for six days, indonesia has been deluged with heavy rain, taking out bridges and roads. the capital, jakarta, has had its most intense rainfall in a quarter of a century. the number of dead is continuing to rise. thousands of people have had to leave their homes, many forced to haul themselves across swollen rivers. the ones able to get back to their neighbourhoods have formed human chains to remove the water and mud. this was an area outsidejakarta, which was one of the worst affected. translation: the water level was pretty high, reaching five to six metres and it could have reached the second and third floor. it was raining all day, from morning to evening, so the water level soon increased. this is the rainy season in indonesia, and jakarta does

see annual flooding, but the heavy downpour of the past week has been the most intense in decades. rescue crews have been trying to get people to safe areas, but the rains aren't due to peak until next month and long—range forecasts suggest more is on the way. duncan kennedy, bbc news. the latest labour mps to enter the race to become the party's next leader have warned that it must focus on regaining public trust. the shadow brexit secretary, sir keir starmer and the prominent backbencher, jess phillips, both said the scale of labour's election manifesto meant voters did not believe the party would deliver on its promises. jonathan blake reports. back on the campaign trail, sir keir starmer launched his bid to lead labour in stevenage, a conservative seat, which voted to leave the eu. he says the party's recent radical policies are needed to win here and beyond,

but after a long time making what is the framework now for future trade relations? labour could one day argue to rejoin the eu, says another contender for leader, and claims that she is best placed to reconnect with voters. this has got to be about whether the labour party can speak and connect and be trusted by the public. none of it matters, about this fight with this person in the labour party, unless we can win an election, and labour values is what matters. another backbench mp putting herself forward says those at the top of the party are out of touch, and only someone from labour's former heartlands, like her, can lead it to success. i think there is definitely a disconnect between the hierarchy of the labour party and the country.

what we haven't understood is that "take back control" resonated like no other slogan in my lifetime. why did it resonate? because people lack the means to affect change in their own lives. with emily thornberry and clive lewis also in the running, there are now five confirmed contenders. the shadow business secretary, rebecca long—bailey, long seen asjeremy corbyn‘s preferred successor, is expected to join the contest soon. labour's ruling body will meet tomorrow to finalise the rules and timetable for the leadership election which will determine the party's future. a winner should be known in around 12 weeks. jonathan blake, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... the body of the iranian general — assasinated by the us on iraqi soil — is returned — as borisjohnson says "we will not lament" his death. the united states says it is

preparing for any iranian response. the australian prime minister warns that the bushfire emergency could last for months and announces the creation of a recovery agency, to help those who've lost homes. sport now, let's get a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. juergen klopp‘s young side got the job done. they are one of the most decorated clu bs they are one of the most decorated clubs in world football and that have their eyes on a price slightly bigger than the fa cup this season. for everton, this competition may matter that little bit more and they make those intentions clear. adrian, in the liverpool goal of more than up in the liverpool goal of more than up to the early efforts. with some

of the more established players taking a break, juergen klopp turned to his squad. the threat continued into the second half when a moment of brilliance won the game. commentator: jones, curled. it is a goal! absolutely stunning goal by curtis jones for liverpool. you could describe this fa cup tie as men against boys and the boys are in front. the moment the teenager won't forget ina hurry, the moment the teenager won't forget in a hurry, oranyone the moment the teenager won't forget in a hurry, or anyone else inside and feel. it was enough for victory and feel. it was enough for victory and hopefully enough to catch his manager's i. frustrating at times, being on the bench and then getting a bit ofa being on the bench and then getting a bit of a taste and then on the bench again. there is times in my head, iam basically bench again. there is times in my head, i am basically begging to come on and then ijust tried to go out

there and show him what i am capable of doing and hopefully i have topped that off with a great performance and a great goal. whilst their eyes remain on the present at anfield, their future remains bright. jose mourinho admitted his tottenham side were in trouble against middlesbrough. before coming from behind to get a reply. mid ulster went in front early in the second half. but spurs snatched a draw and a replay at the tottenham hotspur stadium after lucas moura's header ten minutes later. crystal palace are out though after losing 1—0 at home to championship side derby. chris martin scored the only goal. palace were reduced to 10 men before the game was over with the help of var — luka milivojevic was initially booked for this clash with tom huddlestone — michael 0liver became the first referee this season to use the pitchside monitor to re—watch the incident — and changed his mind —

instead choosing to give a red card. to cricket where england are in a match winning position after day three of the second test in cape town. after dismissing south africa for 223, england were looking composed before losing both zak crawley and joe denly here for 31. but dom sibley steadied the ship. a maiden test 50 for the opener and he's closing in on a century, unbeaten on 85. and captain joe root was going nicely on 6! until becoming undone late in the day by dwaine pretorius. dom bess was out for a duck as play came to a close — england will resume day four on 218 for 4, that's a lead of 264 runs. exeter remain top of rugby union's english premiership after a bonus point victory against london irish. second placed northampton keep pace with exeter though after a last minute win against wasps. this try from matteo minotzi and a penalty try put the hosts

ahead, despite being down to 11! men but northampton weren't finished. tangaylee nieravoro bundling over from short range in the 77th minute to earn the bonus try victory for the saints. the minnesota vikings are the latest team through in wildcard weekend of the nfl‘s post season. it took an overtime touchdown from kyle rudolph to claim the win after the teams were all square at the end of the fourth quarter. it's the second time in the last three seasons that the vikings have beaten the saints in a post season match that's come down to the wire. they'll now play the san francisco 49ers in next weekend's nfc divisonal round. in case you wondered why i said good morning, it is my sister's birthday in australia and has some's birthday andi in australia and has some's birthday and i were sending a message a moment or two ago, that is why. we did wonder, just so you know it

is nearly 11.30 pm. from all of us here, send our best wishes and happy birthday. andrea and tate. we will sing to them later. we'll get on with the news now. you are watching bbc news. the us military has confirmed three of its personnel were killed in an attack in kenya. the somali militant group al—shabab stormed an army base used by kenyan and american forces in manda bay. 0ne service member and two defence contractors died in the attack. the trial of the disgraced hollywood mogul harvey weinstein, on charges of sexual assualt, begins in new york tomorrow, more than two years after the allegations against him emerged. the proceedings relate to just two of his accusers, in all more than 80 women have made allegations of sexual misconduct against him. he has pleaded not guilty. nick bryant reports. if hollywood were to stage the trial of harvey weinstein, maybe it would look something like this.

the once all—powerful movie mogul looking feeble and using a walking frame as he appeared at a manhattan court house in december ahead of his criminal trial. weinstein has been charged with raping a woman in a new york hotel room in 2013 and sexually assaulting another woman in 2006. he has repeatedly denied all allegations of nonconsensual sex. just because a woman makes a claim does not mean that it is true and just because mr weinstein is accused of a crime does not mean he is guilty. some of the biggest names in hollywood have accused him of harassment and assault — angelina jolie, gwyneth paltrow and ashleyjudd among them. i really hope that justice is served. writerjasmine loee is also one of the silence breakers who has accused weinstein of sexual assault. cases are sometimes hard to prove. her fear is he could be acquitted. i would be really afraid if he is not held accountable. and i think a lot of silence breakers will be, and

just, you know, survivors in general. it will hurt. it will hurt to know that we have been hurt and that nothing would happen. so, i hope the court does the right thing. the fall of harvey weinstein did not only upend hollywood. it spawned a global metoo movement on the streets, in the workplace and online. one that ignited a conversation about consent, equal pay and toxic masculine team, one that demonstrated the magnitude of the sexual harassment problem around the world. this must be very humiliating, mr weinstein? mr weinstein, this must be very humiliating for you ? far from being ashamed after being arrested and charged, harvey weinstein has bragged about being a champion of women. he told a new york tabloid ahead of his trial he has long been a trailblazer who promoted female film—makers — a boast victims have found sickening.

harvey weinstein has apparently told friends he is planning a post—trial comeback but that seems delusional, given the number of women who have accused him of sexual assault. the charges in his trial relate to just two of his accusers and, if found guilty, he could face the rest of his life in prison. nick bryant, bbc news, new york. the 77th annual golden globes ceremony will start in a few hours in los angeles, as the hollywood awards season gets underway. among the contenders is the world war one epic ‘1917‘ directed by sam mendes and martin scorcese's ‘the irishman‘. 0ur los angeles correspondent sophie long reports from the red carpet. anticipation is building, who will go home with those golden globes. no women were nominated, something that

did not go unnoticed. the british comedian, famously unafraid of causing offence, ricky gervais is. we could be in for an interesting evening. it is that time of year again, when stars align and sparkle on red carpets and young british actors get a taste of tinseltown. they don't come much younger than roman griffin davis. he has been nominated for best actor in a musical or comedy for his part in the heartbreakingly funnyjojo rabbit. not bad for someone who is only 12. he is up against fellow brit taron egerton for his portrayal of elton john in rocketman. you know, i am constantly rubbing shoulders with people that, you know, ten years ago i would have paid to meet! and i am just really thrilled to be a part of this thing. it looks like it will be a good year for the streaming giant netflix. it is behind three of the five films nominated for best motion picture drama. also nominated is 1917, the first world war epic that

follows the incredible journey of two young soldiers. it's a wonderful thing when you have the process of making a film which was so special to us, and when that aligns with the way it has been received, that's really lovely. i think he has a little speech. i have a little speech that is building here. when it comes to the smaller screen, there could be more honours for the adored, boundary—breaking flea bag. i cannot believe we are here. i mean, a year ago we were previewing at the bfi and now we are stood at the golden globes. i'm blown away. with no clear frontrunner set to sweep the board, it is likely there will be a few memorable moments ahead. the golden globes are notoriously difficult to predict. the only real certainties are that champagne will flow and probably a few tears, too. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. now it's time for a look at the weather.

we should be there as well. i think so. not much delights for the shepherds over the next few days. let's look at what is coming our way because the potential for some disruptive weather. it is the strength of the wind, severe gales in the north and west will bring unusually mild weather info a tie but then chilly and dryer towards the end of the week. there is a storm brewing towards the west but to get into tomorrow morning's rush hour, lots of cloud and a few spots of rain or drizzle. not too chilly in the best of any sunshine in north—east scotland. the rest of northern ireland, here come rain and gales to ta ke ireland, here come rain and gales to take us to the wrong raqqa morning rush—hour. that will spread eastwards and some parts of eastern scotla nd eastwards and some parts of eastern scotland will not see too much rain. from lunchtime and into the afternoon wales and western england turned wetter and windier. sunshine the west later, but we will see go

for gusts above 50 miles an hour here and there. not quite as windy towards east anglia and the south—east are not quite as dry, not quite as wet. not until the end of the afternoon and evening rush—hour we see a spell of wet and windy weather. buckley's true and clear skies for a time by night and a touch of frost. but more wet and windy weather pushes its way in. slight chill in the air for eastern areas on tuesday morning it is mild towards the mast. this big area of low pressure, it will be stormy and significant as far as the wind is concerned. the wind will be scooping up concerned. the wind will be scooping up mild airfrom the mid—atlantic so temperatures will be rocketing through the day especially to the east of high ground. best of the dry weather to the south—east. not too much rain in eastern scotland were very gusty winds. all others will see gales at some point but it is the north and west of scotland that

has the greatest potential for disruption as gusts could touch up to 80 mph. 16 celsius possible on the murray coast, 15 or 16 to the north of northern ireland at the wales. 0n north of northern ireland at the wales. on wednesday morning, a greater chance of frost around to start on wednesday. rain pushes in from the south—west later and windy weather in the south. but dry, clear and cold are to end the week.
