amidst calls from some that the rules are not tough enough. hello and welcome, if you're watching in the uk or around the world. officials in indonesia say they have located the black box flight recorders from the boeing 737 airliner that crashed yesterday. 62 passengers and crew were on board the sriwijaya air jet, which dissappeared from radar screens over the sea, four minutes after taking off from the capitaljakarta . our south east asia correspondent jonathan head reports. better weather allowed a small flotilla of ships to make progress in the search for flight sj182 in the sea north of the capital, jakarta. the boeing 737 crashed just four minutes into its journey.

the location was quickly identified, allowing teams of divers to locate wreckage on the sea floor and, they believe, signals from the flight recorders. translation: there are two signals coming from the black boxes. these can be continuously monitored so we can mark their coordinates. hopefully we can retrieve them soon and identify the cause of the crash. throughout the day, they brought back debris clearly identifiable as from the missing plane, confirming that something catastrophic happened to it in the last minute of flight before it plunged into the sea. in this wreckage there were personal items belonging to the passengers, and the authorities say they've recovered some human remains as well. relatives have been coming in to give dna samples in the hope that some of those remains can be identified. friends and neighbours visited the home of the plane's captain afwan,

to offer their condolences. both pilots were experienced flyers. captain afwan spent many years with the indonesian air force. "he was a good man," says his nephew, ferza mahardika. "he often gave us advice and was a prominent figure in the neighbourhood, well known for his kindness." the pilots gave no distress calls, leaving no clue as to what went wrong. the continued recovery of wreckage will hopefully provide some answers and shed light on whether the safety flaws which have long dogged indonesia's aviation industry were a factor here too. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. rebecca henschke is asia editor for the bbc world service. she has the latest on the search operation. they have been able to recur by what is believed to be the turbine of this sriwijaya air plane, boeing

3737 that crashed yesterday. this is the largest operationally search and rescue operation has recovered so farfrom rescue operation has recovered so far from the sea off the coast of jakarta. so what appears to be a badly damaged turbine has been brought back to the port in the capital, jakarta. it is laid out there in front of the media, where investigators will be looking at it. one piece of the puzzle in trying to work out what happened, what caused this plaintiff all suddenly from the sky. the search and rescue operation has stopped for the evening. it is late now they're injakarta, and will continue in earnest in the morning. official saying that they believe that they are close to recovering the black boxes, and those two flight recorders, which they hope will give them the necessary information to determine what happened, and to give some closure to the families. what more do we know about the people who were on that flight? so, we have been

hearing some heartbreaking stories today, more details of those people on board. one was a newly married couple, and they were heading from jakarta, to carry out a second wedding reception for the family of the husband. that was to take place inafew the husband. that was to take place in a few days' time. now, the family instead is praying for them, and really worried. there was news from anotherfamily, really worried. there was news from another family, the daughter had returned to jakarta to give birth, to her child, and then her husband had come and they were returning to start their new life with a young family, also amongst those missing. what support is being given to these families? that focuses on trying to identify what they can recover from the wreckage. families have been asked to go to hospitals injakarta to give dna samples, so we

understand that 21 families to date have done that. a few more families are still to do that, so that officials can, if possible, give those families someone to bury, so that they can halve they are very necessary closure , that they can halve they are very necessary closure, particularly for followers of islam in indonesia. that is what families are focusing on now. many that we have spoken say that they are praying and holding out hope that family members may be found alive, but that is very unlikely at this stage. the uk health secretary, matt hancock, has warned that every time people "flex" the lockdown rules it "could be fatal" and has urged everyone to follow government restrictions. but the labour leader, sir keir starmer says the current rules may not be tough enough. in the latest 24—hour period, the number of people who have tested positive for covid—19 is 511,940 with 619,941 virus tests conducted overall in the same period.

the latest number of people who have died within 28 days of a positive test is 563. and the number of patients admitted to hospital in the last 2a hours stands at 4,066. this report from our political correspondent nick eardley contains flash photography. central london this morning, as quiet as you will ever see it, with shops shut, pubs closed. some parts of the country are deserted again. but there is also real concern in government that not everybody is following the new lockdown and the strict stay—at—home message. the government rules only are one part of this. what really matters is what every single person does, because that is how the virus spreads. we can all do something to help, which is to stay at home. because every time you try to flex the rules, that could be fatal. the health secretary didn't rule out taking extra measures to limit mixing, because there is concern among

experts about the health service and its ability to cope. we will go over on three. one, two, three. these images from london's university college hospital give a sense ofjust how much strain hospitals are under. england's chief medical officer is warning that if the virus continues to grow, many hospitals will face real difficulties soon. members of the government's virus expert group agree. it was bad in march — it is much worse now. we have seen record numbers across the board, record numbers of cases and hospitalisations, record numbers of deaths. we are now in the eye of the storm, so to speak, and people need to take this very seriously. there are differences between the stay—at—home message now and the one from last spring. some people can form support bubbles, and in some parts of the uk, places of worship and nurseries are open. that has led to some scientists

advising the government to say there is too much room for activity, but the main concern in government is that people are not being as strict with the rules now as they were last year. labour has said the government should have acted sooner, and its leader warned further measures may be needed, possibly closing england's nurseries, for example. he had this to say on the current restrictions. they are tough and they are necessary. enough? they may not be tough enough, but in a sense i think the most important thing is for people to get that message about stay at home, and it is up to the government to put that message out there the whole time. the health secretary said this morning that around 2 million people have now had a vaccine. by autumn, he is pledging every adult in the uk will have been offered one. but for now, the message is that following the rules is more important than ever. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster.

the uk home secretary has defended the way police have been handing out fines for people who've allegedly breached the rules, saying there is a "need for strong enforcement". priti patel said the number of cases and deaths recorded last week means that officers are right to stop giving repeated warnings to repeat offenders. a senior us democrat has laid out a possible timeline for impeaching president donald trump. so far at least 180 democrats have given their support to a draft article of impeachment. it accuses mr trump of inciting his followers to launch a deadly assault on congress last wednesday. so far five people are confirmed to have lost their lives as a result of the violence. i spoke to our washington correspodent lebo diseko on the timeline being suggested by the democrats. this is really interesting. it is from the democratic whip in the house of representatives, james

clyburn. he said he thinks the house could vote on those articles of impeachment as early as wednesday. but when it comes to presenting them to the senate they are willing to wait around 100 days. that is beyond three months if my maths is correct. the reason is that as soon as the senate receives those articles it has to focus on them and cannot do anything else. of course joe biden has a cabinet to get sworn in and he has several things he wa nts to in and he has several things he wants to focus on, he named them on friday, the virus, the vaccines, and the economy. none of those would be possible if the senate is focused on an impeachment trial. james clyburn saying that they could wait quite some time to trigger that process in the senate. do you think there is a chance the democrats will eventually get what they are aiming for?” don't think there is any doubt that they will impeach president trump in they will impeach president trump in the house of representatives. i don't think there is much question

of that. in terms of whether he will be convicted, that is a different matter. it would take a two thirds majority in the senate to do that which would need some republicans to get on board. i don't think they have the numbers for that at the moment. that may change. what the democrats will achieve is making president trump the only president ever to be impeached twice, and, if they are successful in getting him convicted, they could end up barring him or getting him barred from holding public office for the rest of his life. before you go, i want to ask you one question on inauguration. mike pence has said he will be attending the inauguration onjanuary will be attending the inauguration on january 20. president will be attending the inauguration onjanuary 20. president trump, though, is not going to be there. onjanuary 20. president trump, though, is not going to be therelj don't though, is not going to be there.” don't think that surprised many people. it was more surprising that donald trump had put out that video the day before, saying that it was a time for healing. nobody really expected him to turn up. it was

quite interesting to hearjoe biden, the president elect, extending an olive branch to vice president mike pence, saying that he would be welcome. joe biden has always been someone that really respects the traditions of the us lawmaking process. this is all part of that. it was interesting to see him make that knob, and extend that hand to vice president mike pence. —— to make that nod. amazon has became the latest tech giant to take action against the social networking app parler. it follows apple and google, which both suspended parler from their app stores claiming the platform has incited violence. the moves come in the wake of wednesday's attack on the us capitol by a mob of president trump supporters. parler has proved particularly popular among supporters of mr trump and right—wing conservatives. shayan sardarizadeh is a specialist from bbc monitoring's disinformation team. he says there were strong signs on apps such as parler

that violence could take place in the final days of mr trump's presidency and that there could still be protests that target joe biden‘s inauguration. the first sign was on election night when the president himself declared he had won the election whilst votes we re he had won the election whilst votes were still being counted. that inspired many of his supporters who we re inspired many of his supporters who were convinced by mr trump's words, that he had indeed won the election. a day after the election we saw videos, images, graphics and claims based on completely false narratives that went viral. it gave rise to a hashtag called stop this deal, facebook group was created and are 110w facebook group was created and are now 24—hour set at 300,000 members, with plenty of claims about the election on that facebook page, and some concerning, violent language. facebook took it down the day after but by then it had reached quite a

lot of people. a week after that, we had a new year matter too much, there were militia groups, far right speakers, and promoters of conspiracy theories prominent in that valley, and then we saw all of these cases that the trump team invested their hopes in, they were filing ina invested their hopes in, they were filing in a number of swing states. and we heard about these legal cases by two lawyers for mr trump. when they dropped their cases at the end of november we checked them, and it turned out they had plenty of conspiracy theories and debunk allegations that had been rejected by d oze ns allegations that had been rejected by dozens of federal courts. so, then we had another million maga march in december. we had lots of threats against election officials and workers, by far right activists, the republican manager of voting systems in georgia, if you remember,

on the 1st of december, came out and gave a warning to everybody in that viral press conference that somebody was going to get hurt because of these claims, but they went unnoticed, unfortunately, and then, as we got closer to the 6th of january, we noticed that the rhetoric on online platforms, particularly in fringe circles, are becoming more violent. first of all they convinced themselves that vice president mike pence could some how, in thejoint session president mike pence could some how, in the joint session of congress, of the election. of course this was not true. the vice president does not have the constitutional power to do that. but it became clear in early january that that was not going to happen and then the language became extremely violent. what about fears over the swearing in of president—electjoe biden? who have been keeping an eye on the internet and monitoring it. do you have any

fears over the inauguration ceremony? any chatter on the net that we should be aware of? u nfortu nately that we should be aware of? unfortunately on fringe platforms, on parler, in maga, on telegram groups, there was discussion about plans on inauguration day or in the days leading up dirt, the 17th of january is a day that has been mentioned, the 19th has been mentioned. security will be very tight leading up to inauguration, given what happened on 6th of january but there is some concerning talk on online forums. the headlines on bbc news. indonesian authorities locate the flight recorders of the passenger plane that crashed into the sea on saturday, minutes after take—off from jakarta. a senior democrat lays out the possible timeline for impeaching donald trump after at least 180 democrats give their support to a draft article of impeachment. fresh warnings that the nhs — under increasing pressure — could soon be overwhelmed

by coronavirus cases. the uk health secretary says people should all play their part in helping stop the spread amidst calls from some the frontrunner in kyrgyzstan‘s president election, sadyr japarov, appears to have won by a landslide. preliminary results suggest he took nearly 80% of the vote. voters also opted for a presidential system in a simultaneous referendum. the new system will give mrjaparov sweeping new powers when a new constitution is passed, probably later this year. mrjaparov was in prison until october last year for taking a rival politician hostage after protests following disputed elections. our correspondent, abdujalil abdurasulov, is in the capital, bishkek. thanks to electronic ballot boxes,

the results of both the presidential election and referendum started arriving shortly after polling stations were closed. there were a number of reports that in many polling stations these machines did not work properly, and voters had to draw their ballots and stand at transparent boxes and these ballot papers will now be counted manually. but you can already see that sadyr japarov, is way ahead of all the other candidates. this was, however, predicted. his rush to power were strikingly swift. three months ago he was serving a lengthy prison sentence for hostagetaking, and then there was mass unrest in october. shortly after that court acquitted him of all charges although some would say that it happened in violation of legal procedures. however, for many voters in kyrgyzsta n however, for many voters in kyrgyzstan this seems to be irreleva nt kyrgyzstan this seems to be irrelevant because mrjaparov enjoys

the genuine support of many in kyrgyzsta n. the genuine support of many in kyrgyzstan. as a new president he may enjoy even greater powers than his predecessors had, because it is suggested that the vast majority of voters supported the presidential system in the referendum, and this is something that many analysts are worried about. that is one of the risks of presidential government is that we will not be able to, he will have one, strong, single hand, for which he will be responsible. and if it is not what he promised will happen. then what we will have is a shrinking down of the political space, four freedoms, for free speech, media, society and so on. many speech, media, society and so on. ma ny voters speech, media, society and so on. many voters that i spoke to said that all they want is stability in the country, and they believe that the country, and they believe that the parliament has failed to deliver it. however, the general mood here i

would say is rather sceptical because kyrgyzstan has seen a number of presidents in the last decade who did not finish they are tired because of popular uprisings. people i spoke to in the street say that they are ready to oust another president, if he doesn't meet their expectations. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's olly foster. we've had eight more ties in the 3rd round of the fa cup and there was a big upset as premier league leeds united were knocked out by crawley town, who are in the fourth tier of english football. nick tsaroulla opened the scoring five minutes after half—time. and they made it two in two minutes when a wicked bobble from ashley nadesan‘s shot found it's way past kiko casilla in the leeds goal. they went on to score a third as well to cap the biggest shock in the third round so far. it is nice when you work on something and you have got the players here, a lot of them have

lots to prove the clubs that have released them. it is something we have worked on all week, the cameras have worked on all week, the cameras have been down, as i said to you before, we have showed today that we have got up to six, 11 star men, and some subs that came on done well. it is just some subs that came on done well. it isjust a some subs that came on done well. it is just a great team performance. the dream is overfor marine — the non—league side from the eighth tier of english football. they lost 5—0 at home to premier league spurs. carlos vinicius scored a first half hat—trick. substitute alfie devine made his debut and at 16 years and 163 days old, he became tottenham's youngest player and goalscorer. manchester city swept aside birmingham city from the championship. bernardo silva scored twice inside the first 15 minutes at the etihad stadium. 3—0 the final score there. chelsea put four past morecambe from the fourth tier. they fielded a pretty strong side, and it was mason mount who opened the scoring for them.

timo werner, callum hudson—odoi and record signing kai havertz were the other scorers. after three games without a win in the league this would have been a morale boosterfor frank lampard's side. australian cricket's governing body has apologised to india and is investigating claims that visiting players were subjected to racist abuse by spectators during the third test in sydney. police ejected six fans on day four after india's mohammed siraj told umpires that he had been abused while fielding on the boundary. india had also lodged a formal complaint at the end of day three. all—rounder ravi ashwin says the team has received abuse at the ground before. this is my fourth tour of australia and in sydney especially we have had experiences in the past. even those times the players have reacted and got into trouble in the past,

because of the way the crowd has been speaking, especially the people around the lower tier of the stands. they have been quite nasty and very abusive as well, but likely already mentioned, there was an official complaint lodged yesterday and the umpires say we must bring it to their notice as it happens, on the field. in terms of the match, it's looking tough for india. they need to score 309 more runs on the final day to reach a victory target 407 with 8 wickets in hand. losing opener rohit sharma just before the close was a massive blow, so australia are favourites to go 2—1 up in the four—match series. the masters snooker is underway in the uk with kyren wilson the first man through to the quarter—finals. he beat gary wilson, who only received a late call up to the tournament afterjack lisowski tested positive for covid 19, 6—2 in frames. the event has been moved

from alexandra palace in london to milton keynes so that covid—19 protocols can be followed with a hotel on site. in sunday's other game, david gilbert leadsjoe perry 5—1. that's all the sport for now. some of the other news making headlines globally now. crisis talks between ethiopia, egypt and sudan to try to resolve a long running dispute over a giant dam on the river nile have broken down again. the hydro electric dam, in the west of ethiopia, was completed in last year. but egypt is concerned that during years of drought, its water supply will be greatly reduced by the new construction. there are reports from the democratic republic of congo that at least six rangers have been killed in virunga national park. it's not clear who carried out the killings in the volatile north kivu region. virunga boasts africa's most diverse wildlife but some armed groups and poachers are based in the park.

you're watching bbc news. when the coronavirus was still in its early stages, one of the theories about its origins involved a rare animal — the pangolin. the tough scales which cover the pangolin are sought after for use in chinese medicine. they're now highly endangered. our africa correspondent andrew harding reports on south africa's efforts to rein in that illegal trade. get on the ground. a sting operation by south african police. they've lured a gang of suspected smugglers to this car park. one, two, three, four, five, six, seven arrested. inside the car, still alive, a strange and precious victim is rescued.

whose animal is this? this is a pangolin, one of the world's most endangered, most trafficked creatures. its thick scales prized in traditional chinese medicine, but on no scientific basis. injured and weak, the elderly male is rushed to a dedicated pangolin clinic in johannesburg. but too late to be saved. this is the worst male we've seen. he's very dehydrated, and his wounds are terrible. unfortunately, when they've been in the crates for long their immune system is compromised, so healing takes a lot longer. they get the worst infections. few survive an ordeal that reassembles a kidnapping, complete with proof of life videos, like this one, sent by the poachers to potential buyers.

today's six suspects are taken into custody, small blue against a huge trade that involves huge sums of money and terrible cruelty. you know, when we get them out the trade, they're absolutely terrified. they have no real natural enemies and now man is their absolute downfall. it is horrific. this adult female was rescued and survived. now she is well guarded at a secret location. but the species has gained new prominence after scientists began investigating possible links between pangolins and covid—19. these are some of the most harmless creatures on the planet, but there is new evidence from china that pangolins may have helped incubate and transmit covid—19 to humans who ate the animals. there is also the suggestion that by studying these animals we may learn more through their immune systems about the virus itself.

in the meantime, a new arrival is nursed at the clinic. three months old, her family trafficked. the pangolin has lived on this planet for more than 18 million years. it's in the headlines today because of covid, but humans have hunted it to the brink of extinction. andrew harding, bbc news, johannesburg. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello there. today, the weather has been slowly getting a little bit less cold and should turn a bit milder as we go on into monday. we have a lot of cloud around and some damp weather around western coasts and hills, some heavy rain for western scotland where, combined with snowmelt, melt, there's the risk of some localised surface water flooding. by the end of the night was part of the uk will be frost free, the exception shetland, where it will continue to be called with the threat of passing wintry showers. by monday milder air swaps is way eastwards across the country

along with freshening south—westerly winds. it will be a much milder day than we have seen for quite a long time. monday morning starting off on a cloudy note, with rain across western areas, heavy in scotland, with colder air feeding and across northern areas, we expect some of that rain to turn to snow across the higher ground in scotland with several centimetres building in through the day. for most of us, a milder day, with temperatures between 8—10 celsius. that is your weather.
