this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm philippa thomas. the uk passes 80,000 deaths from coronavirus, as experts warn of the need for tighter lockdown measures. the indonesian navy says it has found the location where a boeing 737 passenger plane plummeted into the sea shortly after take—off, with 62 people on board. us prosecutors say they've made more than 80 arrests following wednesday's riots at the us capitol. one of those detained was a man whose image was circulated widely on social media. and the queen and prince philip have both received coronavirus vaccinations. the 94—year—old monarch and her husband were given theirjabs by a doctor at windsor castle.

hello. ten months into the pandemic, uk government figures show that more than 80,000 people have died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. only the us, brazil, india and mexico have recorded more covid deaths. scientists advising the british government warn that even stricter lockdown measures are needed, as the new variant of the virus is much more infectious than the previous one. here's our health correspondent katherine da costa. one, two, three... another dark day in this pandemic, and still the pressure builds for those on the front line — hospitals across the country are treating 50% more covid patients now than during the first peak in april. and with 4,000 new admissions today, nhs staff say this year's winter pressure is off the charts.

it really is unprecedented, in terms of the numbers of patients that require intensive care being put on a ventilator at one time, and most hospitals have reached... ..have expanded their intensive care capacity to somewhere in the region of three times their normal capacity. some trusts are urgently trying to discharge patients to free up extra beds. this hotel in south london's working with king's college hospital, providing a stopgap for homeless or vulnerable patients while they wait for emergency housing. once more, we must all stay home... a simple, clear message in this new government campaign, reinforcing just how critical it is to keep your distance, wear a mask, wash your hands, and ventilate indoor spaces. because even with the uk—wide lockdowns, experts warn the new variant spreads more easily, which is likely to make the virus much harder to control. the sort of transmission that

perhaps we were seeing during lockdowns last year, that level of transmission will now be 40% or 50% higher, so we're going to have to work that much harder to achieve the same effect. so the race is on to protect the most vulnerable — this, the home of bristol city football club, now one of seven mass covid vaccination centres in england. from monday, trained volunteers will begin offering immunisations, joining hundreds of gp sites and hospital hubs around the country. they have been working genuinely day and night, and they're working all through weekends as well, to make sure that their populations get vaccinated. and it's not like flu clinics — this has been hugely complex. today, the queen and the duke of edinburgh, both in their 90s, received their first doses at windsor castle. vaccinations will eventually help to relieve pressure on the health service, but with new infections are still at record levels, hospital admissions and deaths are expected to continue rising for several weeks to come.

katharine da costa, bbc news. indonesian authorities say they have found the location where they believe a boeing 737 passenger plane crashed into the sea in the thousand islands region off the coast of the capital jakarta shortly after take—off. more than ten navy ships have been deployed to the site with divers. the sriwijaya air flight 182 was carrying 62 people. jonathan head reports. flight sj182 had only been in the airforfour minutes when all contact was lost. with no emergency call from the pilots, indonesian officials struggled to piece together what might have happened. transport minister budi karya sumadi described the boeing aircraft veering off—course before disappearing from radar screens. the flight tracking app flightradar monitored the plane making an apparent plunge from 10,000 feet to near sea level before it vanished.

friends and relatives were left waiting at its destination in the city of pontianak, but there was no information to give them. the authorities are now setting up a crisis centre for them in the capital, jakarta. a depressingly familiar scene in indonesia, which has a poor aviation safety record. several boats were sent out to search for any signs of the missing plane. some reported finding what looked like debris, but by nightfall, the search had to be called off until morning. translation: we are deeply sorry for what has happened to flight sj182. we hope our prayers can help with the searching process and that everything goes well. the plane disappeared close to where lion air flight 610 crashed two years ago. that exposed flaws in the design of the brand—new boeing 737 max. this flight involved a much older plane, though sriwijaya air says there was no known problems with it.

the airline is one of dozens which have proliferated in indonesia in the past 20 years, giving millions access to air travel for the first time but raising worrying questions about safety. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. mark weiss is a former 737 pilot with american airlines and heads the weiss consulting group. he told me what investigators would be looking for. well, every accident follows a procedural method. certainly, we'll grieve for the families, the loved ones that were lost on the aircraft. typically, what's going to happen now is the investigative agencies of indonesia, because it was a us—built aeroplane, the ntsb — the national transportation safety boa rd — will be brought in. the manufacturer of the engines and other major component manufacturers will be brought in to see if there was any

difficulties or any problems with the parts of the aircraft, whether it was the engines, the wings, if there was fuel contamination. they're going to go over, the investigators are going to go over every bit, into detail, of every inch of that aircraft, from the history of that aircraft, what happened to the pilots, give us the last 2a or 48 hours of the crew — were they asleep, were they flying a lot? tell me about the history of the aeroplane. this, i believe, was the third leg of that aircraft during that day. so was that a different crew? did they have problems with the aeroplane? what was the weather in the area? so, it's what they're looking for, in terms of the wreckage that's found and perhaps the black boxes, also what they're listening for. well, the black boxes are going to be critical, because that's going

to determine whether or not there were sounds in the cockpit of perhaps an explosion. they're going to look at the wreckage and find out how the metal was bent, whether it was bent in or out, which could be a potential explosive device. were there missiles in the area? we saw thatjust over a year ago with the ukrainian 737 that was shot down. the sounds that you're going to get from the cockpit voice recorder and from the information from the flight data recorder are going to be critical. that aeroplane reached an altitude of approximately 11,000 feet and then plunged, on a vertical dive, basically, at 28,000 feet a minute. there was no time to recover from something like that, so they're going to be looking at everything, structural failure, every aspect of what could have brought a plane down. this was not a 737 max, but is it still potentially a problem for boeing? not really, not in the sense

that, had it been a max, where everybody is attuned to and fearing that, and then going back and saying, "see, i told you that was a bad aeroplane," no, this is not going to be the same effect had it been a max. and, remember, there's thousands of these aeroplanes, there's just under 5,000 737s flying around the world today. it's the workhorse of many, many fleets, and certainly in asia as well. us prosecutors say they've arrested three prominent figures in wednesday's riots at the us capitol. the fbi is appealing for public help in its search for those responsible for the attack. president trump is also facing a renewed drive by democrats to remove him from office, on the grounds that he incited violence. here's our washington correspondent lebo diseko. it's almost certain that donald trump will face impeachment. that process starts in the house of representatives, which is controlled by the democrats, and it

requires only a simple majority to get through. it would make donald trump the first president ever to be impeached twice. the question is whether or not he will be convicted. that process happens in the senate and requires a two—thirds majority, needing some republicans to get on board, and it's not at all certain there is enough support for that. of course, this comes after the scenes of violence that we saw here at the capitol on wednesday, and there have been some prominent arrests since then. on saturday, jacob cha nsley, who prosecutors say was the man pictured in a horned hat running through the capitol, was arrested. so too richard barnett, who has been named as the man pictured with his feet on speaker nancy pelosi's desk. both men have been charged with violent entry and also disorderly conduct on the grounds of the capitol.

a quick look now at some of our other news stories today. as the trump administration enters its final days in office, the secretary of state, mike pompeo, has announced that the us is lifting long—standing restrictions on its relationship with taiwan. the state department said they had been imposed decades ago to appease the mainland communist chinese government. but it said taiwan is a vibrant democracy and reliable us partner, and the restrictions were now null and void. pakistan's prime minister, imran khan, has told the families of 11 murdered coal miners that the state will protect their hazara community, most of whom are shia muslims. mr khan flew to baluchistan to see them, hours after thousands of people attended their funerals. the families had refused for six days to bury the dead men, insisting that they wanted the prime minister to meet them first. emergency crews 300 kilometres above the arctic circle rescued a 14—year—old frost—bitten boy buried under an avalanche that struck a ski resort near to the russian city of norilsk.

the country's emergency services ministry says more than 200 people helped in the rescue effort. three bodies have been recovered and a criminal investigation is under way into possible safety violations. at least three people have died in spain, after a storm brought the heaviest snow for 50 years. a man and woman were found drowned in a car swept away by flooding in the southern city of malaga. another man was found dead in the snow near madrid. in an interview released on saturday, pope francis said people working against democracy must be condemned whoever they are and lessons should be learned from this week's attack on the us capitol by supporters of president donald trump. speaking to an italian tv station, he said the assault on the capitol was "against democracy and against common good." translation: i was astonished because americans are people

so disciplined in democracy. but it's a reality, even in the most developed democracy, there is always something that is not working, with people taking a path against the community, against democracy and against the common good. yes, this must be condemned. power has been restored to some areas of pakistan after large parts of the country lost its electricity supply. major cities, including the capital islamabad, lahore and karachi, were suddenly cut offjust after midnight local time. 0ur pakistan correspondent secunder kermani has more from islamabad. i've been in pakistan reporting here for four years and certainly we've never seen anything like this. power cuts are not uncommon, definitely not on this scale. often what you would see at the height of summer, when a lot of people are using fans and air conditioners because of the heat, would be a couple of hours or a number of hours of power cuts,

but certainly something like this has really taken people by surprise. there is concern, of course, about what the impact could be on hospitals, for example, but because power cuts, even if they are not on this scale, are not uncommon, places like hospitals, places like airports, even many individual better off families have diesel powered generators which can provide electricity for a period of time, so i have been speaking to some airports and some hospitals and they say for the moment, they're all 0k, although if this situation continues for a lot longer, concerns would be rising. for the moment, though, people seem to be fairly calm. there is a wedding happening down the street from me and that has been continuing despite the power cut. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: more than 80,000 people are now known to have died in the uk within 28 days of testing

positive for coronavirus. the indonesian navy says it has found the location where a boeing 737 passenger plane plummeted into the sea shortly after take—off, with 62 people on board. under the uk lockdown, people in england must stay at home and only go out for essential reasons — and there are similar measures in place across most of scotland, wales and northern ireland. but the guidance in england has come under scrutiny, as derbyshire police said they would review their decision to issue £200 fines to two women who drove five miles for a walk. jon donnison reports. the pandemic may be yet to peak, but on a beautiful winter's day, london's parks were busy. a stroll and a coffee as good as entertainment gets for many in these challenging times. but is the government's message to stay home being heard? it does feel very different to the first lockdown, where everything was sort of closed and quiet, so...

i think in general it feels... the vibe is different — i think people are kind of a little bit over it now, i don't know. that's what i feel like, as in i get the vibe that it's less restrictive. i'm happy with the rule set, and i know it's for the better, for the good of the population. i'm not sure what more they could restrict from people's lives, realistically. but are even tougher restrictions needed? some scientists say the vast majority of people are actually sticking to the rules. the problem, they say, is that the lockdown is still too lax — in particular, too many people, they say, are categorised as critical workers, meaning schools and public transport are still busy. in snowdonia, hikers have been turned away after the authorities closed the car parks. uk government sources say there will be more focus on getting the police

to enforce existing lockdown restrictions. but some scientists, including those advising the government, say it's the wrong approach. they're not providing the kind of support that's needed for people to feel that they're able to do the sorts of things that the government is now saying, "well, we're going to punish you if you don't do it." so they've got it all the wrong way round. it's really much, much more about support. and in a long winter, with things almost certain to get worse before they get better, people may well need it. jon donnison, bbc news. let's get more on the storming of the us capitol on wednesday by pro—trump supporters. the way the crowd managed to breach the building's security prompted many in the us and around the world to highlight the contrast with policing of black lives matter protests. any time black people gather, we are met with tear gas,

rubber bullets, we are beaten with batons, told to move back. and then to witness a group of people violently storm the us capitol with little police resistance, it was sort of the tale of two americas. as a pro—trump mob stormed the us capitol in an attempt to overturn the presidential election, many black americans called out double standards in policing, patriotism and protest. when i was watching everything, i wasjust, "oh, my god. if that was us, we would have been murdered." let's look at the police response. no one can tell me that if that had been a group of black lives matter protesting yesterday, they wouldn't have been treated very, very differently than the mob of thugs that stormed the capitol. and it is unacceptable,

totally u na cce pta ble. after the death of george floyd, nearly 5,000 national guardsmen and 1,600 active—duty troops were sent to dc to defend the city and were placed close to where protesters had been expected. this time, it was different — no riot police, no national guard on the steps, and the police that were there were not enough. just educate yourself on the history of this country and you will realise that it's totally about race. these people literally took over the capitol with weapons, and they were welcomed in and taking selfies with the police. capitol police deny race was a factor in how they handled events and say officers were overwhelmed. it took officers four hours to secure the us capitol and at least five people have died. and while law enforcement is looking to file additional charges, so far, the majority of arrests have been for violating curfew.

in fact, 68 people were arrested on wednesday night on this charge compared to 325 charged with curfew violations over four days in june. we're going to walk down to the capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women. president donald trump has been accused of riling the mob with false claims of a stolen election. when black lives matter activists were actually protesting someone being killed, they have been classified, you know, as thugs, as extremists — the president classified us as anarchists, as anti—american — but somehow these terrorists are protesters. go home. we love you, you're very special.

he later condemned their actions and the national guard was deployed after rioters reached the capitol. to those who broke the law, you will pay. but for some, it was too little, too late. the very reason why the police showed extreme restraint and even was unprepared for these white domestic terrorists are some of the same reasons why the police refuse to show restraint in too many cases and end up killing black people. i'm like, "yo, this is america," and it's the america that we literally tried to dismantle. and so when we say "defund the police," this is what we are talking about, that they don't keep us safe. well, all the drama on capitol hill may have overshadowed a rather significant shift of power, as democrats won two senate seats in the southern state

of georgia to take control of the upper house. so how are events being seen from there? i've been speaking to steve fennessy, the host of georgia today — a weekly news podcast from georgia public broadcasting. he told me people in the state are feeling exhausted after two hard —fought elections. well, like everything else these last few years, it depends on who you ask. there is a palpable sense of fatigue here, i think, because we just got through over eight weeks of campaigning during this runoff election and we've been barraged by postcards, by texts, by mailers, and hoping that there would be some sort of rest at the end, after the election on tuesday, only to find what happened on wednesday in the capital. do you think donald trump the person was the deciding factor in the democrats winning those seats? i think, absolutely, he was. of course, he wasn't on the ballot. he wasn't on the ballot for the republicans, and i think that a lot

of people you talk to from the gop will tell you that the reason that they lost was because of donald trump, because he was campaigning not for kelly loeffler and david perdue but for himself. but he was very much on the ballot in the eyes of a lot of democrats, because they saw this as a mandate on his leadership, or lack of leadership. if, well, when donald trump goes, it's not a question of that ending the partisanship in us politics, is it? that seems to be really baked in now. oh, it's so baked in, and i don't really quite know where we go from here. i knowjoe biden has talked about the events of wednesday not representing who we are, but in fact that is who we are, and we need to acknowledge that's who we are. we're a particularly riven nation at the moment and it concerns me how we're received abroad, especially over these next 11 or 12 days, where, as you've reported, it's very likely that donald trump is going to serve out the rest of his term, but he is a severely

weakened leader, and that leaves us very vulnerable. donald trump, we know, wants to carry on his political career, or at least the trump clan might. what do you think that would mean for georgia politics? well, i mean, he's lost his biggest mouthpiece, insofar as twitter ending his account, and i think that one thing that hasn't been discussed enough is how much he's used that as a fund—raising mechanism. and i think that that's one of the reasons that he is particularly probably enraged by what's going on, by being muted. and what i find particularly ironic is that you have a lot of people, a lot of trump supporters, who are claiming that he's being censored and saying that his first amendment rights are being violated. but, in fact, this is a private company, and calls... some of the extremists are calling for nationalising facebook and twitter when that, to me, is the definition of socialism, so we're having a lot of people wanting it both ways right now.

and just a final thought. you started, steve, by saying how tired you all are. you've had full frontal politics for so long now. do you think you're going to have an easier time after the 20th of january? i don't know, because georgia right now, we have one of the worst vaccination rates when it comes to covid, and so it's like we're going from one crisis to another. and i think there really is this sense of, "i can't deal with it anymore," and i don't think i'm the only one saying that at this point. we have a general assembly, our state legislature, convenes on monday, and they will be talking about, "should we take away no—excuse absentee voting ? " because that was such a factor injoe biden‘s victory here. so, no, it's not going to end anytime soon, as much as we'd like it to. steve fennessy in georgia. you can talk me on twitter — i'm @philippabbc. and obviously, there's lots more at all times on the bbc website. thanks for being with

us on website. thanks for being with us on bbc world news. hello again. saturday was another cold day, but it's the last of a run of cold days really. it is to be turning milder over the next few. there were some places across east anglia, cambridgeshire area where the fog lingered all day. temperatures didn't get above freezing. but where the sunshine came out, we had temperatures about 3—4 degrees, but either way, it was on the cold side for many of us. however, looking at the temperatures into sunday, it is going to be quite a bit milder, with our temperatures much closer to average for the time of year. now, right now, partly due to this change to milder weather, we've got this weather front just sinking southwards from scotland, bringing some rain here across into the far north of england, too. fog patches across east anglia, southern counties of england. and where the skies clear behind that weather front, again it's going to be cold with some frost. notjust frost, there's an ice risk as well, in particular for eastern scotland, maybe the far north east of england as well.

so a cold start here. fog further south—east, east anglia, southern counties of england. again could lingerfor a good part of the morning, but probably a better chance of clearing, really, as we head into the afternoon. some sunshine here. thickest cloud across north—western areas. some persistent rain for western scotland. damp weather at times for the north west of england and wales. the only real cold air is across the northern isles in shetland. two degrees in lerwick. there's likely to be some snow showers here and some accumulations of snow as well. now for monday, that milder air gets even milder as we start to get these south—westerly winds blowing a bit more strongly across the uk. they will, though, be bringing some more persistent outbreaks of rain. combined with snowmelt, well, there's a risk of some localised flooding across western scotland. but for the north of scotland, we've still got some cold airfeeding in, so we may well still see some snow across the northern isles and perhaps across the hills of northern scotland as well. but otherwise it's mild, temperatures 7—9 degrees celsius. now, beyond that, as we head into tuesday, we get rid of these weather fronts. they move southwards, and we allow some cooler northerly winds to flow in again.

cold, frost but sunny to start the day for many of us. there will, though, be a few wintry showers coming down the north sea coasts, and always a bit more in the way of cloud further west. temperatures, well, coming down a little bit across northern areas. 4—6 degrees celsius, but still maybe 9—10 in the cloudier south west of the uk. beyond that, well, we've got a spell of rain that's going to come through on wednesday, and then after that clears, a lot of dry weather, really, with temperatures for some staying a little above average. that's your latest weather. bye for now.

this is bbc news. the headlines — more than 80,000 people have died in the uk within 28 days of a positive covid test since the start of the pandemic, official figures have shown. it is the fourth day in a row that the uk has reported more than 1000 daily deaths.

indonesian authorities say they have found the location where they believe a boeing 737 passenger plane crashed into the sea off the coast of the capital jakarta shortly after take—off. the plane fell more than 3000 metres in less than a minute before disappearing from radar screens. 62 people were on board. us prosecutors say they've arrested three prominent figures in wednesday's riots at the us capitol. images of a shirtless man dressed in a bearskin headdress with horns, face paint and a spear were widely shared online. he was taken into custody today. people are being warned to stay vigilant about scams in which criminals offer covid vaccines for a fee. in one case, a pensioner was injected with a fake covid—19 vaccine and charged £160 by a man pretending to be a health worker. people have also been sent text messages taking them to a fake nhs website with a booking link. the bbc‘s jayne mccubbin reports.
