we're going to begin in washington on day two of president trump's impeachment trial and the democrats have been setting of the evidence against them. is notjust a military might but it is what our stand for. hacking the phone ofjeff bezos. extraordinary interview from the former australian prime minister on climate change in the bushfires. how many more lives and homes have to be

lost before the climate change deniers acknowledge they are wrong? a real report from china, wuhan in particular dealing with the new virus. the city is a has had to shut down its transportation hubs. house impeachment managers are giving their arguments and adam schiff is the lead impeachment manager and first of all, we will see a live feed coming in and this is not live testimony, this is where

a former american ambassador to ukraine was part of the story because the accusation is donald trump and some of his allies sought to monitor and remove herfrom that role, something the trump administration vehemently denies. but this is part of the democrats setting out their case against the president during this trial endows testimony to the stage of the house of representatives. the sea would adam has been saying. president trump solicited foreign interference, abusing the power of his office to seek help from abroad to approve his —— improve his reelection prospects at home. and when he was caught, he used the powers of that office to obstruct the invest 20 make investigation into his own and appropriated taxpayer—funded

military assistance for the same purpose. to apply more pressure on ukraine's leader to and outs investigations. this was designed to help ukraine defend itself from the aggression from russia. more than 10,000 ukrainians have died fighting russian forces in the proxy. 15,000. the president is not there, he is of the world economic forum in switzerland and the fact that he is there has not stopped him from giving his views on what is happening in the trial. it is a total hoax, it is a disgrace. they talk about their tremendous case and it is all done, their tremendous case, they have no case. just to pick up on that word hoax. the republican case that it is

incorrect or just does the republican case that it is incorrect orjust does not add up to doing something wrong?” incorrect orjust does not add up to doing something wrong? i think it is a combination of both. if you listen to what donald trump's legal defence tea m to what donald trump's legal defence team said yesterday. 0n to what donald trump's legal defence team said yesterday. on one hand they said the democrats haven't spent enough time to gather evidence during the house impeachment proceedings and the other hand was that they're moving too fast to try to call witnesses during the senate trial and that there was no case that the evidence presented was perfectly acceptable in the phone call with president zielinski was a perfect phone call and on the other hand, that there was not enough evidence even if you took all that evidence even if you took all that evidence and assumed the worst, it would not constitute a crime because no crime has been committed in their opinion if you have not committed a crime that is not an impeachable offence. their legal defence strategy is through a lot of things up strategy is through a lot of things up against the wall and see what

sticks it as long as enough senators byatt, they're going to be just fine. home interest understand the format. these democrats in the house of representatives make their case and many senders listen and draw a conclusion as that the idea? that is the way the rules are set out. this was to serve as impartialjurors and specific term they're talking about is, they took a pledge to that effect and that the democrats will make their case over three days and then donald trump hospitals legal defence team will have their chance to defend the president and after that, it will be a chance of the senators to question both sides and if they have any questions, although it is not going to be a traumatic question and answer session. all have to be submitted in writing to the chiefjustice would take the questions, read them out to one side 01’ questions, read them out to one side or the other and their love a chance to a nswer or the other and their love a chance to answer and then after that, there will be a vote on whether or not to

bring in new evidence, new witnesses, subpoena documents before they come to some sort of decision on guilt or innocence. a couple more things to run by you, the prosecutors in this trial, several members of the house of representatives that include adam schiff, the intelligence committee chairman, and jerry nadler, both high—profile figures that are both frequently criticising donald trump and many heat coming the other way. i have known him a long time, he is a sleaze bag and everybody knows it. the president's defence in this trial includes a range of figures, some unknown and some very well known. as you can see, features on fox news, best known for being the special prosecutor who drove the impeachment process during bill clinton's presidency. so here's a footage from back then as he

prepares to give a press conference. these days, he is a regular contributor to fox and there he is, so contributor to fox and there he is, so is larry, also fox commentator until he switched to being a white house economic adviser. some movement between fox and the trump administration and also the trump defence team who became a celebrity lawyer in the 90s when he successfully defended 0j lawyer in the 90s when he successfully defended oj simpson videos facing murder charges. he also defended the billionaire paedophilejeffrey epstein videos facing multiple charges of trafficking underage girls in florida. and he only served 13 months under house arrest and that plea deal was agreed by alex, anotherfigure, a plea deal was agreed by alex, another figure, a us plea deal was agreed by alex, anotherfigure, a us attorney plea deal was agreed by alex, another figure, a us attorney at the time but much more recently he was transport secretary in the trump administration. there also a connection between donald trump and jeffrey epstein, here they are at a party in the 90s, epstein took his

life all in custody last year as he faced a range of new charges and that plea deal in florida was deemed illegal by a federaljudge. the person involved in that plea deal had to resign his transport secretary in the last few months because of his role in that plea deal. but it is worth noting that donald trump turned to the man of the other side on the plea deal. she had to find white house counsel, pat and donald trump us plus personal lawyer. those two head of the president possibles legal team but we can be confident that they are the marquee names and may well attract plenty of the limelight. anthony, help me out here. it is a star—studded team of that is the right phrase to use. how does the president go about choosing who to use? certainly a dream team of fox news contributors. i believe he is

the white house counsel, the lead lawyer that is taking the most high—profile position in responding to the democratic house impeachment managers argument so far and alan and him are very high—profile and we will see them take a pretty prominent role specifically. turning from washington to what is the most explosive story of the day, you and they're demanding they‘ re demanding that they're demanding that the crown prince is investigated for the human is calling continuous direct and personal efforts to target perceived opponents. the allegation is that a message sent to him was considered to bea message sent to him was considered to be a cyber attack in 2018. what is he from the un experts. the

implication is that we are all extremely vulnerable to this kind of hacking. the fact that that this high level of resources and protection could be hacked and can be hacked for months without noticing it, ithink be hacked for months without noticing it, i think it should be a wake—up call to everyone and including those doing business in saudi arabia. saudi arabia denies these allegations. the idea that the crown prince would hacked jeff bezos's phone is absolutely silly and my understanding of the un report is not actually a report but a statement based on a report by a private company that has not been verified and in its own conclusions, no hard evidence to substantiate the claims it is making. the guardian

broke the story and jeff bezos were exchanging friendly messages in 2018 after they met in los angeles the crown prince sent a video tojeff bezos that looked innocent but a p pa re ntly bezos that looked innocent but apparently not. here is the un reporter again. we are confronting a technology that we do not control. we are confronting an industry that is unregulated and yet, it has huge implications for human rights protection, for national security and economic relationships. that needs to be addressed. asking the forensic analyst to look into his phone after this report ran the national enquirer and it contains m essa g es national enquirer and it contains messages from his private life, he wa nted messages from his private life, he wanted to know how this paper got those messages. the report has been seen by the financial times and reports that after months of no communication, the conference contacted jeff bezos out of the blue but also not long afterjeff had

been warned about the online campaign against them. the messages suggested knowledge of his suggested actions and whether or not it was told, is maritime for you to know the truth, nothing against you from your saudi arabia it says. the man leading the investigation published his findings in the daily beast which you can find online. high confidence that saudi arabia had accessed jeff bezos phone and gained private information over months. let us private information over months. let us hear from private information over months. let us hearfrom him. private information over months. let us hear from him. it is clear to us right now that they were in jeff bezos phone from may 2018 and we believe they continued to be into his phone until february 2019. he was not very careful about revealing, because he did exchange m essa g es revealing, because he did exchange messages with jeff bezos that

indicate and contain information that he could have not otherwise known. of course, he is also the owner of the washington post, one of them is the saudi journalist khashoggi that was murdered. the suggestion was that it soured between the crown prince and jeff bezos after khashoggi was murdered. six months ago, the un human rights who had already heard from said saudi arabia was responsible for the premeditated execution of mr khashoggi. coverage of that murder covered when she is calling a massive campaign against mrjeff bezos and amazon which is designed to influence if not silence the reporting on saudi arabia. different content and this just one example of the cartoon those widely shared and

throwing a shoe in his direction, he appears to be carrying the washington post and there's a picture of the rebel leader on his front page, they're trying to defeat them in yemen, but the point is being thatjeff them in yemen, but the point is being that jeff bezos them in yemen, but the point is being thatjeff bezos is on the side of the rebels. which is not to be a applauded. they said there's no hard evidence and they're very quick to deny, suspiciously quick because without the investigation the background to this, something that is not in dispute is the right hand man to the saudi crown prince who was behind the kidnapping of khashoggi, he was running an extensive online surveillance campaign in saudi arabia to bring down all critics of

his boss, the crown prince. he has disappeared from view and managed to escape conviction for any crimes associated with the murder of khashoggi but he back into the 16 acquired intrusive surveillance hacking equipment to be able to get into peoples phones. the background to this means it is not entirely unlikely, the question is whether or not the crown prince hospice on fingers are on this act and many think he has questions to answer in the foreign minister says is absurd questions to answer about the murder of khashoggi but in the long term, the impact on that standing is to be discussed and do you think it will impact saudi understanding? discussed and do you think it will impact saudi understanding7m discussed and do you think it will impact saudi understanding? it is hoped that the bad news will eventually go away because on such an important country, was such a

huge economy, such deep pockets, some a business deals to be done, eventually people will, even if they are upset by this, the big future investment conference and still do business there. in western and southern governments, itjust adds 0moplata suspension whose —— one more suspicion. he is carrying out a very impressive campaign against the critics at home and abroad. help me understand the un's role here putting a very strong state m e nts un's role here putting a very strong statements but where is the un and its investigators fitting into the equation? one of the two people, the special reporter on extrajudicial killings and she has made her whole work examining exactly how khashoggi came to be murdered and she is

calling for the crown prince to be investigated and no one is getting much attention to that, even though the cia believes he had a role in it but the other person is commissioned by the un human rights division to look into this but the wider issues over the killing of khashoggi. it is on the fringes of that that it is an infringement of human rights and calling for spyware that is being used to be much better policed and monitored because they mentor can buy the stuff off—the—shelf and hack into your phone your mind and start leaking data around the world. we will give you an update on this new virus that is killed 17 people in china, the people of the heart of this outbreak, shot all of their transport links.

australian scientists have identified the oldest asteroid crater which they think they explain how the planet was lifted from an ice age in the resource or. we know there was a potential global ice age of the time of the impact and the error bars in that ice age ended and with her date on the crater, they have us thinking that perhaps they might be linked and the impact of them could've gone and helped to cause the end of that ice age. we do not know how much ice in the road at the time but we have modelled impact craters into an ice layer of various frequency in the calculate how much ice would have been noted, the greenhouse gas and the amount of ice vapour could have caused some global warming and a thawing of that ice. from the record, it could've been 400 million year period where there would've been no more ice age

glaciation so that would've had a bigger effect. 0utside source, the bbc news from, the democrats have begun presenting their arguments on day two of the impeachment trial of donald trump. the lead impeachment manager adam schiff says the president has clearly abused his powers and obstructed justice in dealing with the ukraine to boost his reelection chances. world leaders will gather in jerusalem to commemorate the anniversary. it comes as the prime minister of poland has defended his remarks that they are amongst the perpetrators of the holocaust. he was speaking here. you are involved ina was speaking here. you are involved in a controversy over remarks that you made about the holocaust we said

that as there were russian, german and ukrainian polish perpetrators commies are there alsojewish perpetrators. i would you say that? everyone who knows the history and what happened to different places and different ghettos, there were many different papers and articles written about how those people were, or undertreated and they were dehumanized and they were involved and they were drawn into this system. terrible circumstances they cost the lives of 6 million. we should always take into account, what context we speak and everyone will know that in poland, this was

in occupied poland, i should've said, this is the only place in europe where for rescuing, there was not only a death penalty but for the whole family and the whole village sometimes. i often say that it is not only the most trees that are planted, the evidence of their engagement but also for all of poland should be one big tree. you still believe there arejewish perpetrators of the holocaust? we should talk about very specific situations that i do not want to immerse into such a vocabulary because it is very important for me to be well understood by anybody who

would like to analyse what happened in this ghetto or those situations. mrtrump wants mr trump wants the eu to agree to a new trade deal by november's presidential election and since doing business with the eu is tougher than doing business with china. bringing him a show live from new york. is this a case that the china deal, the first part of it at least gets signed so donald trump is looking elsewhere? notjust china, he's dealing with the renegotiated trade deal between canada and mexico and that frees him up to focus on trade relationships with the eu and renewing the threat he is made before which is to slap tariffs on auto imports, particularly this could have a huge impact on the german and the challenge —— german

car—makers. economic needs and with a president that has shown his policy of america first is cost a few headaches for other trading partners and now it is the turn of the eu and now we have phil hogan in washington just last week basically expressing some concern about that. thank you very much indeed. life with us in new york. let us talk about mental health and he could have a big impact on how we all feel and perform at work, the boss is considering a leading voice on mental health in the workplace it is said business leaders should not work flat out all the time. you will make it is very important to have high performance, but you cannot be at peak performance forever. the bank was in a very weak position

to face adversity. £200 billion of assets and we cannot speak about it. because if i did, obviously, there would not generate confidence in the bank. it was banging around in my mind constantly, which led me to sleep less and less and the less and less sleep let me to exhaustion and not sleeping at all. it is really important to combine peak performance for a significant period of time with moments of rest, or you can recover and regenerate yourself and i think you have to also have holidays in order to think about different things and regenerate your body and your mind andi regenerate your body and your mind and i think you have to protect your sleep, which is really important as

well for the body to regenerate overnight and to classify everything during the day so those types of things will enable anyone to have much better performance, much more sustainability and over much longer period of time. let us put up the live feed coming in from the senate, the democrats continue to lay out their case against president trump and his impeachment trial, the republicans of 24 hours if they need to come back and the team of a chance and push of these things. but as we are hearing from anthony a little bit earlier, so far as been largely will be heard in the house of representatives at the first stage of this impeachment process, so rescinding out of this if you like but will keep across his life feed and listen in on it and bring a particularly important clips will be

with anthony about five minutes and he'll be taking us through it all. hello, good evening and welcome to the weather elsewhere around the world. here in the uk, things have been fairly settled and we have had stormy weather elsewhere around europe and you can see the waves battering the islands of the course of tuesday and dispense stormy across the west midlands and these are pictures sent in from barcelona where we have had the wait january day on record. as well, and catalonia, those big waves marched in on the sea from the flooding the streets and the reason why we have the storm named this because it is starting to diminish if you like, but its effects are still causing further problems impressive iberia, and the rainfall injust a

further problems impressive iberia, and the rainfall in just a space of 24 hours. and we've had over a metre of snow. the most we have had since 30 years and it will continue to be quite wet in the southwest, affecting the ca nary quite wet in the southwest, affecting the canary islands and showers roger too. in contrast, that high further north. the key building again across australia with the winds whipping up across this weather fronts extreme conditions of the fire but there will be some rain and in place some significant room this is where the front moves in an ode to impact us a little bit with sunny rain moving heavily and is expected to be headed at this weather system will be are due some rain. we are doing more rain but it's been a very wet season so far with the likes of mozambique, parts of angola and continuing the risk for the flooding range and why it is been so wet as of late. in brazil, we had some flooding here in recent

days and where do more rain and very significant rain is a goat through friday into the weekend we have significant low development just offshore and low developing parts bringing yet more snow and freezing rain. and here, we'll see temperature starting to rise and will continue with the theme of the storms coming off of the pacific northwest and west over the rocky mountains of the cascades as well and we will start to build that southerly and push the temperature isa southerly and push the temperature is a little bit higherfor the east where has been quite chilly but still some more snow to come around the great lakes into the eastern side of canada as you can see here, temperatures will recover in chicago and will keep it mild, wet and windy in seattle with a few showers around in the tip—off and temperature again and then towards the work week, the

fog continues and stays later in the weekend.

hello, this is 0utside source. i'm ros atkins, and this is the live scene from the senate floor on day two of president trump's impeachment trial. the democrats have been setting out the evidence against him. this is not live, actually, this is a clip are being paid by the democrats, but that was a live feed as they go about making the case. pa rt as they go about making the case. part of our strength is our support for our allies and our military might but also what we stand for. the saudi crown prince may have hacked the phone of the amazon founder, jeff bezos — and the un is now involved. the fact that the richest man on earth has this high level of resources and protection could be hacked.

former australian prime minister malcolm turnbull wades into austalia's debate on climate change. how many more lives and homes have to be lost before the climate change deniers acknowledge they are wrong? 17 people have now died after contracting china's new virus — the city at the heart of the outbreak, wuhan has shut down all transport links and is advising citizens not to leave. we will stick with the impeachment trial of donald trump. the prosecutors from the house of representatives are giving their arguments. sylvia garcia one of the impeachment managers continue to speak. proved to be important for

two good reasons, first, president trump authorised the ambassador and secretary perry to lead engagement with the new administration in the ukraine. and two, president trump instructed them to satisfy guiliani's concerns in order to move forward on ukraine matters. these officials were all political appointees and the ambassador had donated $1 million to the president's inauguration. the president saw these three political appointees as officials who would fulfil his request. the senate spent 13 hours yesterday debating the ground rules for the trial. it was agreed that each side will be given up to 24 hours to lay out their opening arguments.

that will take place over three days. mitch mcconnell is the republican leader in the senate — he'd hoped to get it done over two days, but the democrats pushed for more — and he agreed. the greater disagreement is on the issue of whether to call witnesses — and there's still no agreement. here's the democratic leader in the senate, chuck schumer. mcconnell had to change his resolution and that shows republicans can make this trial more fair if they want to. it is not a question of ability. they can, if they want. it is a question of conscience for the senate republicans have the power in their hands to make it a fair trial. will they use it when it matters? you neck at, after

democrats want to hear from key white house aides who worked closely with mr trump. on their list are acting chief of staff mick mulvaney. and john bolton, former national security advisor. but most republicans oppose this. in fact, republican senators blocked an earlier effort by democrats to subpoena mr bolton. a couple of weeks back he released a statement saying if there was a subpoena, "i am prepared to testify." remember, he's a key figure in the ukraine scandal. his lawyer wrote that he was "part of many relevant meetings and conversations" pertaining to the house impeachment inquiry that are not yet public. here's donald trump today on the possibility of of mr bolton talking. you can't have somebody who is of national security and if you think about it, he knows some of my thoughts on what i think about leaders, what happens if he reveals

what i think about a certain leader and it is not very positive? the president has been on twitter. that is not a fair representation of what happened. john bolton's own statement said... and that basically meant it would have been up to the courts to decide whether he must comply with a white house order not to testify or with congress's subpoena in the house impeachment inquiry. we'll see if we end up hearing from him. also at issue is the release of documents. senators blocked a motion from democratic leader chuck schumer to subpoena white house files related to mr trump's dealings with ukraine.

they also rejected follow—up motions demanding a subpoena of records and documents from the state department and white house budget office. that's important because one of the charges the president is facing is obstructing congress. he's accused of directing "the unprecedented, categorical and indiscriminate defiance of subpoenas. " democratic senate leader chuck schumer is unimpressed. during the impeachment trial of bill clinton in the late 90s — 90,000 pages of documents and other information were handed over — but there's no set way of doing an impeachment trial — and just because this is different doesn't mean it's necessarily inappropriate. this is more from chuck schumer. yesterday we put the spotlight on the number one issue, in having a fair trial, witnesses and documents, thatis fair trial, witnesses and documents, that is where the spotlight

belonged. i predict that as a result, that spotlight will continue to focus on witnesses and documents and the pressure will continue to build on republican senators. president trump insists he would love to appear at impeachment trial — and for other witnesses to be called. but says that's a decision for the senate. i will leave that to the senate, they have got to answer that. i have great respect for the senate as a body and many of the individuals. of course, the president is happy to leave things to the senate — because the republicans have a majority — and have no intention of impeaching him. christina, what have you made of what you have heard so far? what we are hearing is a lot of what the house has been arguing overfor the

last four months, that house democrats believe president trump committed high crimes and misdemeanours and abused his power had been refusing to allow key witnesses to testify. republicans still insist that this is not impeachable, and the democratic impeachment managers who are acting as prosecutors in the senate have about 24 hours three days, and already a lot of republican senators have complained that the arguments are repetitive and they have had this before. it will be a test of whether this is really going to change any minds or whether this will keep repeating the arguments we have heard for the last four months since the process began. the democrats lay out their case and then the defence team get a chance to push back? that is right.

however, it is not like the defence tea m however, it is not like the defence team will be able to respond in real—time so it might be a challenge for president trump in the next few days, he can only tweet from afar. his defence team can't interrupt the house democrats arguments but then they will get their tone over three days which was expected to start saturday —— their turn. it is not clear whether they will actually use their allotted 24—hour spite what we should expect is the same arguments that republicans are making at this time. it's not that much likelihood ofa time. it's not that much likelihood of a commitment of the president from office, so the calculation is what, this will influence how americans feel more broadly?m what, this will influence how americans feel more broadly? it is likely that senate republicans will

do this, democrats have always expected, but they are trying to make a moral point, that the president should be held to a certain standard, and should be able to do things which ultimately serve his own political ends, and even though they have acknowledge this as taking away tension, which would allow them to focus on, they still feel that this is a moraljudgment that they have to make and this is something they feared at the end of the day is a marker for future generations —— they feel. the day is a marker for future generations -- they feel. christina, thanks forjoining us. if you want further coverage you can go to the hill website and read the report from christina and her colleagues. in the past hour, the world

health organisation has announced it will not yet declare an international public health emergency over the outbreak of a new coronavirus in china. 17 people are now confirmed to have died and 500 have been infected. all those who have died are from the province around wuhan, where the virus originated. all transport links to and from wuhan have been shut down and citizens are being advised not to leave. this is the seafood market in wuhan which is said to be the source of the outbreak. scientists are working on the theory that the virus was transfered to humans through illegal transactions of wild animals. the new virus has spread from wuhan to several chinese cities including the capital beijing, shaghai, chongqing as well as hong kong. other countries in the region have also confirmed cases including japan, thailand and south korea. the first case in the united states

was also confirmed in washington state on tuesday. this evening the world health organisation gave this update from geneva. the decision about whether or not to a public samoan international concern as public emergency —— the decision about whether or not to make it a public health emergency of international concern is one i ta ke very of international concern is one i take very seriously. 0ur of international concern is one i take very seriously. our team is on the ground in china to investigate the ground in china to investigate the outbreak and get more information. when i heard they were convening and there would be a press conference so soon i was a bit worried given the

numberof soon i was a bit worried given the number of outstanding questions about how to gauge the severity and the risk the situation poses, so i'm frankly happy they are taking their time and trying to compile more evidence and trying to sort through that evidence before they make a decision such as whether or not to declare the situation a public health emergency of international concern. health emergency of international concern. we know that wuhan has reduced transport links around the city, is that appropriate? it is ha rd city, is that appropriate? it is hard to say what impact that will have and we have not really seen a sense of the distribution of cases where they have come from, but that isa very where they have come from, but that is a very strong measure. my initial reaction is that not going to be effective and it might drive cases underground, but the least is that it signals health authorities are taking the situation seriously and are trying to do their best to stop the spread of disease. so far the majority of cases have some link to

wuhan so it makes sense health authorities are focused their but they are now trying to shut down travel and trade and there is not much evidence that they work. you are glad the who is taking more time, what would you like it to use that time to do? there are fundamental questions about not only how widespread this outbreak epidemic may be but also a key consideration is how severe the situation is. just reporting cases is not necessarily problematic, the cases are fairly mild and otherwise we note the coronavirus can be severe, but we need to know how severe, but we need to know how severe the cases caused by the virus are and it has been hard to discern that from the publicly reported

data. 11 million people in wuhan in central china have been asked not to leave — and outsiders have been told to stay away. this is one of the main hospitals in wuhan province busy with patients who are suspected victims of the coronavirus. staff are wearing full protective suits with own air supply. also in wuhan province, the authorities have been busy disinfecting the street and shopping areas. in beijing you can see people are wearing masks to prevent the spread of the virus, after it was confirmed that human to human transmission is possible. here at manila airport in the philippines you can see people being screened by heat scanners. 0ther airports in the region including singapore and hong kong are also following similar procedures.

the bbc spoke to some people outside a state—run hospital in shanghai about what they're doing in the face of the virus. translation: we put mask on him it when we take him out. no plans for chinese new year. we have given up, we have no plans to go out. your child won't go outside? exactly, no one will go outside. you are brian reid it is an epidemic? we will do what we can, we will be fine. -- you are worried it is an epidemic? are you taking any protective measures? no, what kind could i take? why don't you wear a mask? i'm not used to wearing a mask. the outbreak of the coronavirus in china has led to a lot of discussion on social media. twitter is blocked in china, but some users on china's tightly—controlled weibo platform

have made comments suggesting that local governments have been withholding information about potential cases. the chinese government have denied any suggestions of a cover up. but some users on twitter appear to be spreading misinformation on the virus. this tweet from the philippines reported that a five—year—old child from wuhan city had tested positive with the virus. but the who was quick to clarify the situation with this tweet saying... effo rts efforts to control the information but it is very difficult. for more on the spread of false infomation here's alistair coleman who's been monitoring the story on social media for the bbc. i've been looking at social media

and what we are seeing is number one, china is controlling the conversation, not allowing people to come up with any idea that the chinese government is not in control. they are allowing people to be worried about but they are not allowing any conspiracy theories to get out. in terms of getting advice in order to avoid the virus, chinese people turn to the chinese authorities? the main source is the chinese government but the who is also giving advice, telling people not to travel and telling people to maintain hygiene and stay indoors if they can. but most of it is coming from the chinese government within china. thanks.

stay with us on 0utside source — still to come... we hear from australia's former prime minister malcolm turnbull about the bushfire crisis and his country's climate record. the writer and film—maker terryjones — part of the british comedy team monty python — has died. he was 77. he went on to direct films including the controversial life of brian. david sillito looks back on his career. they can't get the fire brigade, mervyn. will the boys' brigade do? hello, mrs rogers. hello. oh, i must be in the wrong house! terryjones fizzzed with enthusiasm. in monty python, he was often at his best in a frock. now, you listen here. he's not the messiah. he's a very naughty boy! now go away! who are you? i'm his mother, that's who!

he was the soul of monty python in many ways. it was a method that john and myself locked horns because i thinkjohn does like to dominate. on the parts and films he directed and injected some of his medieval knowledge —— the monty python film there was something very special cruelty when it was robbed from him by dementia. reunited with his old friend michael paling, it was all too visible at this bafta ceremony. —— michael palin. too visible at this bafta ceremony. -- michael palin. we would like to say thank you to everyone, it is a great honour to win this award, but we are having struggles at the moment. we are so proud of him.

thank you. this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is... the democrats have begun presenting their arguments on day two of the impeachment trial of donald trump. the manager adam schiff, said the president had clearly abused his powers and obstructed justice in his dealings with ukraine, in a bid to boost his re—election chances. these are some of the main stories from bbc world service. lebanese protesters have clashed with security forces outside parliament in beirut. hours earlier the newly appointed prime minister said the country faced an economic "catastrophe" and that lebanon was at financial and social dead end. months of protests forced the previous government to resign. prosecutors in new york have begun making their rape case against the hollywood film producer harvey weinstein. he faces five charges, including

both rape and sexual assault, relating to two unnamed accusers. if convicted he could face life in prison. mr weinstein — who was in court for the opening statements — denies the charges, saying his sexual encounters with the women in 2006 and 2013 were consensual. that's on bbc world service. have a listen to what australia's former prime minister malcolm turnbull has been saying to the bbc about the bushfire crisis. bear in mind there's history here... malcolm turnbull was ousted by the liberal party in 2018 in a bitter row over emissions targets — and the current prime minister scott morrison took over. right, let's start with this. everybody knew we were in a very dry time and as a consequence the fire season was likely to be very bad. so rather than doing what a leader should do and preparing people for that, he downplayed it, so i can't explain any of it.

0k — but under malcolm turnbull, the australian government abandoned plans to set emissions targets in law. that was seen as giving in to the right of the liberal party. mr turnbull puts it another way. the right in the liberal party, i'm not suggesting they used guns and bombs or anything like that, but their approach is one of intimidation. he also hit out at the section of the australian media run by rupert murdoch. it is full of climate deniers, designed to deflect from the real objective which is to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. australia's climate has been getting warmer for years. that's caused by climate change. which in turn is caused by human behaviour. and we know that a hotter, drier climate increases the chances of more severe bushfires. despite all that, you'll still hear this kind of stuff

on rupert murdoch's sky news australia. 0ur tragic bushfires have been used by activists and journalists and politicians here to push their ideological barrow to attack their party political enemies and to do great damage to australia's international reputation. they are pushing climate policies that can and will do nothing ever to prevent horror bushfire conditions in australia. there's probably a discussion to be had over who's doing the damage to australia's reputation. anyway — where to start with chris kenny's analysis? perhaps the australian weather bureau which says... or maybe i'm going to listen to the 100s of leading climate scientists who say the only way you limit climate change is to cut global emissions — and that means australia taking part, too. prime minister scott morrison told the un last year "australia is doing its bit". here's malcolm turnbull on that. clearly his predecessor sees things

differently. that is the end of the show. we will see you soon. goodbye. it was a settled start to the week this week with plenty of beautiful winter sunshine. skies have turned cloudy and we have more of that to come in the next few days. thursday begins with patches of fog which could be slow to clear and it brings plenty of clout. here is white, high pressure sat across the uk, it has been with us since the beginning of the week and it is with us over the next few days. a cold front will bring some outbreaks of rain to the far north—west of scotland through thursday, but away from that lot of cloud and the cloud could be thick enough for the odd bit of rain. some brea ks enough for the odd bit of rain. some breaks in the cloud and the best will be found to the east of high ground. temperatures sitting at around 8—10dc. as we move into

friday, not a great deal of change, high—pressure still in charge, cold front are slipping further south but not a great deal on it by this point. friday morning, you could wa ke point. friday morning, you could wake up to scenes like this, fog could be an issue again as we move into friday, dense patches of fog which could be slow to clear and could cause some disruption. friday is looking generally cloudy again, similar picture to thursday, the cloud could be thick enough for the odd spot of drizzle, and the best of the brighter spells to be found towards the east. again, there could bea towards the east. again, there could be a bit of rain towards the far north and temperatures similar to thursday. into the weekend we start to see signs of change and you can see more isobars on the map. saturday will be a breezy day, still afairamount of saturday will be a breezy day, still a fair amount of cloud around for england and wales, but there will be brighter spells. a few showers in the west and more rain moving into the west and more rain moving into the north of scotland. i miss similarto the north of scotland. i miss similar to what we have seen through thursday and friday. ——

temperatures. the rain it slips that way east into saturday and that will bring a spell of rain. we still hold onto the isobars on the map and sunday is looking like a fairly breezy day. once the rain clears towards the south and east we will have sunny spells and showers following in behind and across the southern half of the uk it will be milder with highs of around 8—11, more like 6—8 across the northern half of the uk. the showers are not the story as we move into monday. all eyes towards the atlantic where we have this area of low pressure, it is one to keep an eye on. it will bring wet and windy weather through monday so a real gear change to come from monday. wet and windy. to the far north in scotland, temperatures sitting around 5—6 but towards the south and east looking fairly mild, temperatures between 11—13, so we

start next week on a fairly mild note, but that does not look set to stick. it would be a roller—coaster in terms of temperatures, bouncing between mild and cooler, you can see this as we look at the outlook through the next working week. no two days the same temperature wise and towards the end of the week we are looking at more unsettled weather. it looks like we have more of that to come as we move towards the end of january. of that to come as we move towards the end ofjanuary. the reason for that, the jet stream. the end ofjanuary. the reason for that, thejet stream. still sat across the uk and still fast moving so further areas of low pressure bringing further wet and windy weather so it looks like we will finishjanuary weather so it looks like we will finish january on a weather so it looks like we will finishjanuary on a similarly u nsettled finishjanuary on a similarly unsettled note to how we started.
