as roads are blocked and madrid airport remains closed. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. the indonesian authorities say they lost contact with a passenger plane shortly after ta ke—off from the capital, jakarta. the sriwijaya air flight was en route to pontianak in west kalimantan province. the airline, which is an indonesian carrier, says it's still gathering more information. there were thought to be 62 people on board. flight tracking websites suggest the boeing 737‘s altitude dropped by nearly 10,000 feet, before disappearing from radar. the jet is not a 737 max, the boeing model involved in two

crashes that killed more than 300 people in indonesia and ethiopia. joining me now is simon calder — travel editor at the independent. simon, what information are you hearing about this? of course, it is way too early to discuss what the possible causes would be, but we do know an increasing number of facts about this aircraft and it looks, i am so about this aircraft and it looks, i am so sorry about this aircraft and it looks, i am so sorry to say, as though the 56 passengers and six crew may be lost. this was operated by each sriwijaya air, it is the third biggest in indonesian airline. it took off about one hour late from the qatar's airport. it was an absolutely routine flight going 452 miles to the island of borneo, scheduled to

ta ke the island of borneo, scheduled to take 95 minutes. but afterjust four minutes, i understand the aircraft, which was at about 10,000 feet, started losing height, depending on flight started losing height, depending on flight tracking websites where most of this information, it descended and was last recorded atjust 250 feet above the java sea. we know that the aircraft was built in 1994. it had been with sriwijaya air for the last nine years, and it is also worth mentioning again, we know nothing about the cause of this accident. there have been concerns about indonesian aviation to the extent that in 2007 the european union actually banned indonesian airlines from flying because of concerns about the way that safety standards were being enforced in indonesia. and so, obviously, the search, rescue and investigation very much in the early hours of the

risk too. do we have any information at all about who was on board? we do not. it was about half full, the boeing 737 500, the type used, which is two generations earlier than the boeing 737 max. it is the smallest of the series. just to absolutely stress this is in no sense related with the loss of lion air flight 610 and october 2018, in which 189 people lost their lives. that has been on the anti—stall system that boeing had introduced into that aircraft. it just so boeing had introduced into that aircraft. itjust so happens that this awful tragedy appears to have happened in very much the same location of the java sea. simon colder, travel editor at the independent, thank you for your time. here in the uk, people are being told to act like they have coronavirus as part of a public information campaign aimed at tackling the recent surge in infections. borisjohnson said people must stick

to the lockdown rules, stay at home and not become complacent. yesterday, more than 1,300 deaths were recorded in the uk — the highest since the pandemic began. dan johnson reports. covid—19, especially the new variant, is spreading quickly across the country. this puts many people at risk of serious disease. a new campaign with a clear message. once more, we must all stay home. the stark warnings come in response to the intense pressure on hospitals, which are getting close to capacity, especially in london and the south—east. london's mayor declared a major incident yesterday, saying the virus was out of control. many doctors are frustrated. most hospitals have reached, have expanded their intensive care capacity to somewhere in the region of three times their normal capacity. obviously, we don't have three times the number of staff, so our staff are being spread more thinly in an effort to deliver that important care, that vital care to save lives for those patients

that most need it. yesterday's record figures showed 1,325 people died within 28 days of a positive covid test. the most in a single day during the entire pandemic. the total number of deaths now stands atjust short of 80,000. there are more record figures — another 68,000 cases were recorded yesterday and 31,624 patients are being treated in hospitals across the uk. allie is one. her whole family tested positive on christmas day. i was fine, healthy, young family, just getting on with my life and this has completely floored me. i was told two days ago that if they didn't put me on a ventilator, i would die. i've seen two people die in beds either side of me whilst i have been in this hospital. one in three people with covid don't show symptoms, so the message is, act like you have the virus

and don't go out, don't mix with people. there are signs that policing of the rules will get tough, with government sources saying the time for engaging, explaining and encouraging is now over, giving way to more strict enforcement. the next few weeks look bad. vaccines give clear hope for the future, but for now we must all stay home, protect the nhs, save lives. dan johnson, bbc news. joining me now is professorjohn drury, social psychologist at the university of sussex and a member of spi—b, the behavioural advisory group of sage. thank you forjoining us. is the lockdown to loose at the moment in your view? are people sticking to the rules? can icy first that i am at the university of sussex, not essex. sorry i did say sussex. the first thing to say is that throughout the pandemic, adherence

has been very high. it tends to go up has been very high. it tends to go up in lockdown periods. we have not seen the data for the last four or five days, but during the last lockdown, it did go up. i mean, in direct answer to the question is lockdown to loose, i mean, if the question is adherence, adherence seems not to be the problem. the problem seems to be the rules. if you look at some of the big weavers that could still be used, schools are open to quite a large number of categories of people, critical workers are quite broadly defined. financial support for those staying at home is still insufficient. and many businesses and so on are still staying open. garden centres and so on. so, this might be the solution rather than more pressure on people to adhere. so you are saying that there is room for the government to

close things down further, but of course the rules have changed a lot over the last 12 months in the uk, as they have all over the world, do you think people are genuinely sticking to the rules? you hear anecdotally over and over again or people breaking the rules. two things, as i said, consistently the ucl survey the 0ns survey, the mobility data shows adherence is high. it does vary. the changes at certain times. certain governments announcements and initiatives have led to a reduction in adherence. i will go over in july led to a reduction in adherence. i will go over injuly when we had freedom, when we had to be dominic cummings incident. nevertheless, they have remained high. we see people in the streets, and the question is where they are going, what are they doing? some of them are going to places that are legitimately allowed within the moment. let me give you my own anecdotes, i mean, i have been staying at home more, i went for a

walk yesterday, i went to the shops today, and certainly my anecdote is there were fewer people about than there were fewer people about than there were fewer people about than there were when we were under tier 4. we will leave it there. thank you very much indeed. a uk government source has said police will be asked to put a greater focus on enforcing rather than explaining the lockdown rules. let's discuss this withjohn apter, chair of the police federation of england and wales. can you interpret that for me? can you interpret that for me7m can you interpret that for me? it is interesting, government sources not named, says there will be more enforcement. naturally, throughout this pandemic, enforcement has crept further into reality. let me explain why. when we first entered into this pandemic early last year, i think the country was so shocked by what they were seeing and the announcements from government, unprecedented, there was a very high level of compliance with the rules.

they were very clear, everybody had to adhere to the rules. as time has moved on, the rules have become different for different areas, right down to different postcodes. it has been confusing, there have been certain announcements, the professor speaking earlier, certain announcements were made by government which were very poorly timed. but at the same time, we have a growing of people who feel, for whatever reason, do not believe the rules apply to them. because they do not like their freedom is rules apply to them. because they do not like theirfreedom is being inhibited or they do not believe that the virus actually exists. we are having to deal with that. of course, because of that, there will be more enforcement. but i am certainly not getting the sense that my colleagues, i represent 130,000 police officers across england and wales, we are not getting a sense that the government are there with a big stick saying you must enforce more. there are more people out there who are breaching the rules. and there is an awful lot of pressure on policing, an awful lot of pressure when you see the number of pressure when you see the number of deaths that have been reported.

whether it is the media or the general public, they expect people who are wilfully breaking the rules to be challenged. that is what my collea g u es to be challenged. that is what my colleagues are trying to do. but it is very, very difficult. we are trying to tread that fine line of keeping the public with that is, i think the vast majority are, not forgetting that the vast majority of the public are sticking to the rules, but we have to deal with that ha rd core rules, but we have to deal with that hardcore with the limited resources that we have. you might have seen a story we have been reporting about a couple of women who went for a walk in derbyshire. they were five miles from their home, out in the countryside, and the police find them £200 each. is that appropriate in your view or is that going too farand in your view or is that going too far and shoot police efforts to be focused on other areas?|j far and shoot police efforts to be focused on other areas? i think no matter what we do, we are damned if we do and damned if we don't. there will be people who say that travelling five miles for exercise is not acceptable. i understand that

the national police chiefs council have now given out further guidance, that should have come so soon, of what is and is not right. travelling for exercise is not defined in law. there is no case law. what is the guidance? it is about being reasonable and responsible. the guidance has been issued to the co nsta bula ry guidance has been issued to the constabulary overnight, which i understand says that it is not in the law. it is about police officers being reasonable in the circumstances. what you could have, andi circumstances. what you could have, and i do not know the facts, which is why i am not going to come on television and criticised my collea g u es television and criticised my colleagues who are already under the cosh for trying to do the right thing, but what we have had in certain locations, such as beauty spots, as car parks being overwhelmed with people travelling there. not great distances, to do their daily exercises. that is bringing more people together, so it is trying to do the right thing in the right circumstances stop we are all learning as we go, we are not going to get this right every time. if you live in the town or city and you want to go somewhere beautiful

for a walk, it is pretty depressing living in lockdown as we know, especially after such a long time, then people, you cannot blame them for wanting to do that. but of course crowds are to be avoided and the police are already overstretched. what about other breaches? are you finding it is amongst youngsters, is it after dark, does there need to be a cu rfew? dark, does there need to be a curfew? what changes would you like specifically? the police federation and the national police chiefs council are not calling for greater powers. we want clarity for the public‘s benefit and my colleague on the rules that are in place. what we are seeing as there is clearly some large—scale breaches, whether it is demonstrations, because you cannot meet in groups outside, but demonstrations are very difficult, we cannot give every member of thousands of people a ticket. house parties, where the health risk is significantly increased, we are seeing more and more on that. we are

targeting and dealing with them. people just simply refusing, not the majority, not the majority, refusing to wear masks. we are trying to deal with that at the same time. in addition to all of the normal police work that my colleagues have to deal with. the 999 calls, they carry on coming in and we have to deal with them as well. at the same time, growing of my colleagues are either being struck down with this virus so they are not at work or having to save a site is up there is fewer people but more is expected of those who are left behind. thank you very much and good luck with all of the work that continues by all the emergency services in these incredibly trying times that we are president trump has been permanently banned from twitter after the social media giant warned his tweets risked ‘further incitements of violence'. the company says it made the decision after a review of tweets from his personal account. he was previously suspended from twitter for 12 hours on wednesday after hundreds

of people stormed the capitol building in washington. 0ur north america correspondent, david willis, reports. the most powerful man in the world no longer has access to one of his most valued assets — twitter. donald trump's preferred platform for picking fights, settling scores and promoting conspiracy theories has blocked him for good, citing what the company called: "the risk of further incitement of violence". president trump has been blamed for fomenting the protest that led to the death of five people at the us capitol on wednesday and twitter believes his continued use of its platform could stoke further violence in the run—up tojoe biden's inauguration in 11 days' time. the president's son donjr on his twitter account said: "free speech no longer exists in america". and called the ban "orwellian". in a tweet swiftly deleted from his official white house account, mr trump said he was now looking into the possibility of creating his own social media platform.

facebook, having already banned donald trump for the remainder of his term in office, the president is looking increasingly isolated. facing multiple resignations and with members of his own party deserting him, some are concerned about what he might do next. in the final tweet before his account was closed, he said one thing he won't be doing is attending his successor‘s swearing in, breaking with a tradition stretching back more than 150 years. joe biden said he was fine with that and called mr trump a national embarrassment. he has been an embarrassment to the country, embarrassed us around the world, not worthy to hold that office. there are those who believe the president should also be denied access to the nuclear button. the house speaker nancy pelosi is actively seeking his removal. democrats plan to introduce an impeachment resolution on monday. sadly, the person running

the executive branch is a deranged, unhinged, dangerous president of the united states. and with only a number of days until we can be protected from him. more than a dozen people have now been charged in connection with wednesday's protest, among them this man, richard barnet, who was pictured with his feet up on nancy pelosi's desk. but, after a week of unprecedented turbulence, it is difficult to know what will affect donald trump's fortunes more — impeachment, if it happens, or the lack of access to the social media soap box that's been so effective in building and rallying his mass band of supporters. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. joining me now is sarah elliott, she's the chair of republicans 0verseas here in the uk — who says she can no longer stand in support of trump's presidency given his recent actions and behaviour since november's election. sarah elliott, have you been supporting trump up until this week? yes, andi supporting trump up until this week? yes, and i have done so on your

show, during the election. i did not initially vote for him in 2016, but i approved of many of his notable accomplishments throughout his presidency and i supported him in 2020. this week, it has changed? it has changed since november's election for me. it is amazing to me how he has personally sabotaged his own legacy. and i did not think he was capable of doing that because i thought he would have enough self interest and ego to want to preserve it, but the way he behaved after the election, after the electoral couege election, after the electoral college met, december 14, and certify the election, he did not prove his cases of fraud, and any infighting with the georgian republican party that cost is losing those two senate seats, which cost the republicans the majority of the us senate, and that will now leave the democrats in control to undo his

legacy over the next two years. he has put the republicans completely out of power in washington. and then of course the fiery rhetoric from wednesday's rally. and watching as his supporters attacked our us capitol, trying to stop the certification of the presidency, and you know people died as a consequence. he did not forcefully stop that or act as a president should in that moment and so i can no longer support him. who would you like to take up the mantle of leading your party now? someone who can build on this new coalition of support we have in the republican party and hold its coalition together, the working class and the republican base. somebody who can keep the suburban that we lost in 2020, the suburbanites in 2020. and those new minorities thatjoined our

party in 2020. it is a big conservative, republican, buti party in 2020. it is a big conservative, republican, but i can tell you i will not support any of the us senators that perpetuated this rally on wednesday. so i cannot put my support behind senator ted cruz or others. thank you very much indeed. a fire at a government hospital in the indian state of maharashtra has killed ten babies. the infants were aged between a few days and three months. they were being cared for at a neonatal unit in bhandara district general hospital when the fire broke out in the early hours of the morning. the cause of the fire is unknown. the indian prime minister, narendra modi, described the incident as a "heart wrenching tragedy". 0ur reporter anbarasan ethirajan told me more.

it is a four—storey building government hospital in the district of bhandara in central india. in fact, it is exactly very close to the state of madhya pradesh. and according to the local officials, one of the hospital staff, they spotted smoke coming out of this new neonatal unit where 17 babies were kept and they raised the alarm, and then the fire spread very quickly, particularly smoke. they could not see, that is why... very few people normally would work during the night shift, so they try to move the babies as quickly as possible. and when they came back to rescue the others, they couldn't. and sadly ten babies have died, and as you mentioned, they were from a few days old to the oldest being three months. also, it is very difficult to move these babies when these were being kept in the icu, the emergency unit, where the are connected to oxygen and other equipment in the hospital. so they found it... it was a bit of a struggle for them to remove them and then take the babies out, and it was a very heart—wrenching story. the parents were crying, the pictures show that the soot all over this building. and also the patients from other

words, they were moved to safety. it happened early in the morning, so they would not have much help at that point, but then the fire crew came. but then this tragedy happened. peace negotiations between taliban and afghan government officials is due to resume in qatar. secunder kermani has the latest. last month, they finally agreed upon the rules governing these talks. now they will be turning to the agenda for the negotiations and that will bring them to very different priorities the two sides have. the afghan government want to see a ceasefire declared as soon as possible. the taliban say that will have to wait until a power—sharing arrangement has been reached, establishing what they say, what they term as a new islamic government. so far, progress has been quite slow in these talks. it took them nearly three months to agree on the preliminary issues, and we are only now getting closer to the heart of the matter, the competing visions

for the future of afghanistan, that the two sides have. the more democratic current system and the more theocratic ideas of the taliban. in spain, the heaviest snowfall for decades has already left hundreds of drivers stuck and forced the closure of madrid airport. warnings of heavy rain and snow have also been issued for parts of italy, turkey and greece, as mark lobel reports. coronavirus victims remembered in spain's capital, madrid, as a different storm sets in. parks were closed early. translation: for those who don't work, it is great. for those who work, it is a little more complicated. translation: i came to madrid and i was surprised, as it is not snowing in berlin. it must have to do with climate change. the snow in spain stopping people getting to their plane. real madrid's footballers among many stuck on the tarmac for hours at barajas airport. operations here suspended at times.

storm filomena struck these houses on the portuguese island of madeira. translation: i am 66 years old and i had never seen so much rain and water like i saw yesterday. i have never seen anything like this. rescuers were on hand after this ferry ran aground in the canary islands. translation: we were afraid for the baby. as a blanket of snow covered eastern spain, lorries reach the end of the road. translation: we have remained in monreal del campo where we are stuck. things look bad. after high tides here in malaga, in spain's south, and a month's worth of rain in just two days in gibraltar, heavy weather alerts have been issued for italy, turkey, greece and the balkans. in between the fun, spaniards are being urged to avoid nonessential travel will stop many now bracing themselves for a white

weekend like no other they have ever seen in their own backyard. mark lobel, bbc news. an update on the indonesian plane crash. a fisherman has said he witnessed the plane crashing into the sea at 220 local time. this is bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. some of the freezing fog we have seen this morning could linger all day once again. it was bitterly cold where we saw this sunshine first thing. that has resulted in the cold est thing. that has resulted in the coldest night for nearly a decade for parts of northern ireland and northern england. resulting in some sunshine. freezing fog in southern areas, still a few wintry showers close to the south coast, the channel islands. cloudy skies will invade across northern ireland this afternoon as well as northern and western scotland where we have got some rain falling onto frozen

surfaces, some snow over the hills, still icy. that will be a risk throughout the day. when we see the sunshine, although temperatures will not rise very high, where we had the snow yesterday, much brighter, staying bright east of the grampians. temperatures are recovering a bit in scotland. that is because we have got the atlantic influence. staying bitterly cold where the fog lingers. that atlantic influence with its cloud, rain and health noble drifts outwards and tend to weaken through the night. caldaire follows a mindless notion was returning. even where we have got the weather front, the ground is frozen so still icy conditions, and rain falling onto frozen surfaces is not good. it will be cold and frosty in the south—western freezing fog again under this ridge of high pressure. that it we shall keep a lot of fine unsettled weather in southern areas. like we are seeing today, more breeze in the north, blowing in some further patches of rain, perhaps in fog will be still with us for a while in southern areas. as you can see, it will be rather shimmery in nature, the rain, but still some snow over the hills, perhaps the cloud starting to break

elsewhere across england and wales and northern ireland into the second half of the day. by that stage, we are getting heavier rain back into the north and west. the temperatures tomorrow are slightly elevated, slightly less cold and it has been in recent days. with a brisk breeze, which will continue to the start of next week as well, even though we have got higher temperatures, i do not think it will feel particularly warm. we are bringing in atlantic air, bringing in further weather fronts to the north and west. we are also bringing in this milder air. as that comes in, that milder air, we are going to see two things happening. the rain on the weather fronts, but then after that, or with that, the snowfall as well, there could well be some localised flooding. we are keeping an eye on that very closely. as ever, the warnings are on the website. as we are looking into next week, we are looking at things being not as cold as we have been, still some snow on the hills. goodbye for now.

hello this is bbc news.
