twitter has permanently suspended president trump's personal account following what the social media firm called a "close review" of recent posts. it concluded that allowing him further access could lead to further incitements of violence. trump later tweeted from the @potus government account, "we will not be silenced!" this has since been deleted. democratic party members of the us house of representatives have circulated the draft of a new impeachment resolution against president trump. it accuses the outgoing president of high crimes and misdemeanours, including incitement of an insurrection. a white house spokesperson said impeaching the president would only further divide the country. president—electjoe biden has said that donald trump had actively encouraged what he called "a mob" to enter the us congress. donald trump has said he will not attend the inauguration of his successor on january 20th. the president—elect welcomed the news. two women have been describing

how they were surrounded by police in derbyshire, read their rights and fined 200 pounds — after they drove five miles for a walk by a reservoir. current guidance says you can travel for exercise in england as long as it is in your "local area". derbyshire police said they are reviewing the fines issued in this period. phil mackie reports. eliza moore and jessica allen, friends whose businesses have shut because of lockdown, decided to brave the cold and go for a socially—distanced walked to try to keep their spirits up. u nfortu nately, their trip to a nearby reservoir has earned them each a £200 fine. derbyshire police have been stopping people who were driving to beauty spots because they say it is a breach of government regulations. jessica says she thought they were following the rules to the letter. we take these guidelines really seriously. my brother is a doctor who works

on a covid ward. my parents have both had it was not we are trying to follow the rules, we haven't come out wanting to break the law. not having a party, there isn't five of us. we simply came to what we thought was the safest place. derbyshire police have been called to heavy—handed. today, flying drones over walkers in the peak district. today, officers have been out again, telling people to go home. we've been coming to this part for most of my life. just out for daily exercise and i've been turned away by the police. the difficulty is in the interpretation of the rules. derbyshire police has released a statement which seems to say that if you have to drive somewhere to take exercise, then that's not local. and they've also said that it is very much at the discretion of individual officers as to issue fines or not. there can't be a grey area when it comes to what people are allowed to do because this really is a lifeline for some people. you know, for people who are struggling, they don't need to be thinking when the going out am

i going to be approached by the police for doing this. we need to know in black and white what is allowed, what is accepted. eliza and jessica say they will contest the fines. with the outlook bleak, mental and physical health remain critically important. phil mackie, bbc news. now it's time for the travel show. hello and welcome to the travel show, with me, lucy hedges, coming to you from the jungle in northern rwanda, where i am hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the world's most majestic creatures. rwanda, despite its diverse wildlife and natural beauty, has for decades been an unlikely tourist destination. 25 years ago, the genocide here grabbed international headlines.

over 800,000 people were killed in inter—ethnic violence injust 100 days. but a quarter of a century on, and rwanda has become one of africa's bucket list destinations. and its biggest draw, the furry, curious cousin to us humans, the mountain gorilla. so i have been promised a chance of a date with a silverback gorilla... i feel like i should help them push. ..that is, if i ever make it up the mountain. oh my god, be careful!

yeah, yeah, yeah! i am standing here at the foothills of rwanda's volcanoes national park, which is the home and sanctuary of 20 troops of gorilla. it is very exciting, off we go. the park is part of the larger virunga conservation area and a world heritage site. it is also the only place in the world where the gorilla population is on the rise. and this year marks a0 years since money from tourism was first used for their conservation. francis, hey! welcome to the park. so this is where the park begins, you can see the bamboo. there is a trench here, this marks the difference for making the communities understand where the park begins, and where the buffaloes cannot come over. ahead of me there is a team of trackers.

hey, trackers, i'm lucy, good to meet you! before any traveller takes to the mountain, the rangers share essential knowledge. it's so beautiful walking through here. yes, sometimes gorillas come down to the bamboo. really, they come this far down? they can even come outside. once we come to the gorillas we need us to stay together, we are creating a distance between us and the gorillas, we need to have seven metres' distance. we need to respect their movement. there is a sound, they have to do like a... clearing throat sound once they do that, it is confirmation everything is ok. 0h, 0k. but once the silverback, or any gorilla say... coughing sound that means that's not good. that's not good. so what i am doing, i have stopped. but then if i hear... low grunting... so i make

the situation feel 0k. it's pretty huge. these are gorilla droppings, it leads you to where the gorillas are. so you follow the paths of poo. as i walk, branches are gripping my legs, but the trackers have cleared a path for us, and i can hear gorillas, i have heard at least three grunts and gorilla noises. the walk is pretty tough, i am not going to lie. the higher we get, the higher the altitude, my breath is getting shorter. three hours, and 4,000 metres above sea level, and i was beginning to fear i might not ever find a gorilla. whispers: oh my god! it's there!

this is the susa group. it's made up of 23 gorillas, including, unusually, three silverbacks. you really should be scared, but they are so big, i've got francis like my life depended on it. and then a moment i have been waiting for. time to put my gorilla talk to the test. throat clearing noise i know you have the trackers, but how do you make sure you always find them? how do you know? the thing is, make sure you don't lose them any single day. you follow their

movement every day. so that when you spend the night you study them the next day, so you follow them all year round. how long have you been doing this? for now, 18 years. 18 years? wow, you must love them. yes, this is the work that is dynamic, you always see new, different things. what you see of the gorillas today, is not similar to what you see tomorrow. whispers: we have really lucked out here. we have the mother cradling her baby, we've got blackbacks, and we've got the mother of all gorillas, the silverback right there. he is watching us watching him. i can't believe we are this close. my mind is absolutely blown, they are so beautiful. and when you think we share 98% of our dna with these great apes, you understand why they, too, are curious about us. rwanda, in collaboration with international conservation

partners, has achieved remarkable success in not only protecting but growing the mountain gorilla population. in fact, there is now 1,000 mountain gorillas up here in the wild, up from 200 just two decades ago, when they were on the brink of distinction. this is primarily down to the decrease in poaching, when gorillas were hunted for meat. but in an effort to protect the gorillas, poachers were trained to become mountain guides and porters here, further supporting tourism. talk to me about poaching here. poaching, there is no problem. but there is no problem because we keep avoiding it from happening, by working with the communities and having better poaching pathways. you can't say it is done and we leave, so we keep on. but of course gorillas means they need more space. the government has now pledged to expand the forest by 23%, adding almost 4000 hectares

to its current 16,000. the expansion of the park, it is about making the space biggerfor the gorillas, but it's another way to bring the climate to where it needs to be. so, it's good for rwanda, good for the planet. yes, it will be for all of us. and whilst the numbers here are increasing, the conservationists here cannot become complacent. between patrolling the park for any remaining poachers and monitoring the gorillas' health, there is an army of people involved in protecting them. noelly bosco is a gorilla doctor, and the jungle is his clinic. today he has come to check on one of his patients. hey, noelly! i'm good. welcome to the jungle. thank you. yeah. how do you know which one, exactly who is who? each one of this group has a specific nose print. these guys have the gorilla

card, you look at the nose print, and you think oh, it is this one. then over time you get used to it. talk to me about how important your work is to conservation. well, very much important, gorilla doctors is credited for half the population growth. but everyone has contributed, including tourism. this increases 4% every year. in fact, tourists pay $1,500 to spend an hour up here with these great apes. that's an expensive trek, but it is contributing to conservation. when you are preparing for maybe a major action, you are so stressed, you don't know what is going to come out, you just come here stressed, have to be responsible for these guys, you have to be responsible for gorillas, you have too much new in a very short time. but then you come back the next morning, and you see the guy playing or picking some food, you're like, i made it. so that's why i like it.

now that the trackers have located the gorillas, the tours for travellers have began. so now i am tagging along with one of francis' tourist groups. growling aggressive gorilla. high—flyer gorilla. there he is! chowing down on some leaves. you can just hear the little grunts in the distance, it is quite hard to tell if it is aggressive or playful grunts. how did you feel when the gorilla came out here and ran and jumped out at you? scared! just standing there, waiting to see what happens. whispers: he's up there in the tree somewhere. i think he's getting ready

tojump down because he's heard how good this food was. we've been planning this trip for 12 months, it's been on our bucket list for quite some time. it's been amazing. what kind of feeling? a wonderfulfeeling. it's very rare, these beautiful majestic creatures have just completely taken my breath away and just being able to watch them eating, interacting, and even communicating with us in their natural habitat is one of the best experiences that i've ever had the pleasure of having on my travels. i highly recommend it. still to come: i have signed up to explore some alternative ways to experience this.

‘the country of 1,000 hills'. i take on these african champs... oh, no! i'm last! and i head down to explore one of the deepest lakes in the world. once a hotbed of violence during the conflict, but now i a go—to destination for any traveller here. it looks like there is a party over there, a beach party — my kind of place. so now that i've spent time with the awesome gorillas, i'm heading off the beaten track to see what else rwanda has to offer. the last two decades have

seen a real turnaround in the country's international appeal and tourism is really on the rise. in fact, rwanda has set itself up as africa's new big luxury travel destination. so it's no surprise that tourism economy here is booming, it's growing by 15% every year, making it one of the fastest growing tourism economies in the world. the government traditionally focused on attracting big spenders to stay in luxury lodges and spend a fortune treking with gorillas. but it is opening up to cater for people with all kinds of budgets, and if you are an adrenaline junkie, you can have one hell of a ride here. if you don't mind, i can show you your bike. so, are you going to ride with us? i look forward to it.

this is your bike, it's an e—bike. it has a battery, so if you need assistance, just press that. press right here for assistance. third and fourth. ultimate power. yeah so i think you're very excited. i'm very excited. how could i not be excited? look at this view! he runs four new bike routes to the country, covering over 400 kilometres of track. what is the bonus of having these bikes to tourists? the e—bikes, it doesn't matter how steep the hill is, anyone can go. rwanda has so many beautiful views, wonderful places. many hills. supported by the world bank, the government's 2020 vision for the reconstruction of the country after the genocide has led to huge investment in rwandan infrastructure. that's why these roads are a joy to ride.

what's it been like for you witnessing just how popular cycling's getting here. it makes my heart feel happy because i'm doing the cycling trips with the guests, people from all over. he tells me that over the last few years cycling has really taken off here. perhaps inspired by these guys, the national rwandan cycling team — they are african champions. hey, guys! they have inspired the nation and international cycling community with their success story and olympic performances. from struggling racers a few years ago, they are now one of africa's most successful tea ms. shall we race? go! laughter. oh, my god! oh, no! i'm last!

yeah, i was never going to beat these champs. so where are we going now? we're going to visit some locals just to taste the real rwandan life. oh, i'm going to get a true rwandan experience? hello! nice to meet you. nice to meet you! this is a cooperative made up of women whose husbands have abandoned them. to support themselves, they now sell traditional banana beer. and i'm going to help make some brew. women are playing a pivotal role in rebuilding the country and economy, particularly since hundreds of thousands

of men lost their lives during the genocide. now rwanda has the highest number of women in parliament in the world — 68% of lawmakers here are female. do you enjoy sharing rwandan culture with tourists? we are just crushing them? oh, my god, you have got to be strong. singing.

that was amazing! thank you, thank you very much! collected like so, pour it back over, it leaves the bits behind. 0nce we've distilled the juice, it's time to grind the millets to allow for fermentation. a lot less strenuous than crushing the bananas. how is this? am i doing a good job? yes. it's all right. i was relieved to hear they have plenty of banana beer already made for me to try. delicious. i was not expecting this at all. i mean, just the level of hospitality they've welcomed me, i genuinely feel like one of them. they've been nothing but kind.

and to think we've gone from a pile of bananas and grass to this is just incredible. what an experience. singing it was great to meet the locals benefiting from tourists who pass through and spend their time and money in these communities. next on myjourney, lake kivu. this is one of the african great lakes, and sits on the border between rwanda and the democratic republic of the congo. i am here to explore the water by kayak. are you all right—handed? ok? on this side you go forward. seems easy enough.

for years after the civil war, the shores of this lake were no—go zones. this was one of the epicentres of the fighting in 1995. now there's a huge push to develop this area. this is parts of the kivu belt tourism initiative. beep, beep! this is absolutely spectacular. kayaking doesn't get any better than this. it certainly beats the last experience i had, a lake in the uk. elwa is part of the new generation pursuing a career in travel and entrepreneurship. this is such a great example of tourism and innovation in rwanda. so it's important then to show the world there is more

to rwanda than just gorillas? yes. what about the beautiful tea estates, what about the coffee? what about kayaking? you can stay over on an island and it's a beautiful experience. we have the monkey island that you can see something that is exciting, something that people love but they don't know. and how do the local people feel about it? are they excited to welcome tourists into the area? as rwandans, it's part of our culture. so they are excited to see it. we see the kids running around trying to grab you a kayak. it's been an incredibly wild and exciting day and i am certainly onboard for more this year. while the history of the genocide will never be forgotten, these travel experiences really shows a different side of rwanda. everywhere you turn there is just something new on offer.

this place really is amazing. the people here have been so eager to welcome me on my first ever trip to this country. tourism is providing an excellent opportunity for rwandans to reshape their country's image, and you can only hope the dark days are well and truly in the past. hello. 0ur spell of cold wintry january weather will be gradually easing through the weekend and into next week as things turn a little bit milder. but certainly on friday, we had a lot more snow for some parts of northern england. this was the picture in cumbria. north wales, as well,

had a lot of lying snow. into saturday, still the odd flurry of snow around but most places largely dry, very cold and frosty with some freezing fog as well. look at these temperatures, first thing saturday morning at dawn around —11 degrees or so, could be —15 across some of the sheltered glens of scotland. so, widely subzero. we've got the freezing fog to contend with, particularly across parts of the midlands, central southern england and east wales as well. that should slowly tend to break up into low cloud with some sunshine coming through, but in places, it could linger all day. now, a lot of dry weather through the day on sunday, some sunshine for north wales, northern england, eastern scotland, for instance, as well. but we have a front moving in from the northwest, that will bring some rain and some hill snow for the northwest of scotland. not as cold on saturday as it has been over recent days, with temperatures about 3—5 degrees for most. into saturday night now heading into the early hours of sunday morning, we have got that front bringing a bit more cloud further south, so not as cold across the north and northwest of uk. still, though, getting down to around —3 or —4 across the south of england first thing sunday. so it will start off chilly once again. we have got milder air

gradually working in from the northwest. so a bit of a cloudier picture through the day on sunday. the best of any sunshine will be for central and and southern parts of england, eastern scotland should see a bit of sunshine as well. but towards the north and west, we have more cloud, and that will bring some outbreaks of rain, particularly to the west of scotland. it could be quite heavy, and as things are turning milder, some snowmelt could well lead to a little bit of flooding there. but for most of us, a largely dry picture, turning a bit milder as well. now, as we head through into next week, we will keep low pressure to the north, higher pressure in the south, and this wedge of slightly milder air will work in across the country. still have cold air heading in from the north east. so a bit of a mixed picture as we have through the course of next week. temperatures not as cold as they have been recently, but things are looking little bit unsettled, particularly through the middle part of the week. but all in all, as we head into next week, it won't be as cold as it has been. there will be rain around at times, some snow over the hills, and the driest conditions in south. bye— bye.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today: "act like you have the virus." that's the advice in a new campaign urging people to abide by lockdown rules. donald trump is banned permanently from twitter because of worries his tweets could incite more violence. a warning over coronavirus scams after a 92—year—old woman was injected with a fake vaccine. unlikely heroes, giant killing and banana skins — all part of fa cup third round weekend, but liverpool survived a scare to beat a young aston villa squad decimated by a covid outbreak. good morning. another bitterly cold
