a state of emergency for the nation's capital tokyo, as covid—19 cases surge to the highest levels since the start of the pandemic. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. i'm martine croxall. 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 disappeared 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. 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 opposition 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—i9 is 54,940, with 619,9ai 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, record numbers of 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. the frontrunner in kyrgyzstan‘s presidential election, saderaparov, 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 that scan ballot papers, the results of both the presidential election and the referendum started arriving shortly after polling stations were closed. however, there were a number of reports that in many polling stations, these machines didn't work properly, and voters had and voters had to drop their ballots in standard, transparent boxes. and these ballot papers will now be counted manually. but we can already see that mr saderaparov, a former mp, is way ahead of all the other candidates. this was, however, predicted. his rise to power was strikingly swift. just three months ago, he was serving a lengthy prison sentence for hostagetaking, and then he was freed by his supporters during the mass unrest in october.

shortly after that, courts acquitted him of all charges, although some analysts say that it happened in violation of legal procedures. however, for many voters in kyrgyzstan, this seems to be irrelevant because mrjaparov does enjoy a genuine support of many in kyrgyzstan. and as a new president, he may enjoy even greater powers than his predecessors had, because the early results suggest that the vast majority of voters supported the presidential system in the referendum, and this is something that many analysts are worried about. and i think that's one of the risks of the presidential form of government, that we will not build an effective state as, for example, japarov promises. we'll have one strong single hand, one person who rules and governs everything, and therefore he or she will be responsible. and it's not what he promised will happen, in fact. and then what we'll have, perhaps, is a shrinking down

of the political space, for freedoms, for free speech, for independent media, civil society. many voters that i spoke to say that all they want is stability in 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 didn't finish their terms because of popular uprisings. and people that i spoke to in the street say that they're ready to oust another president if he doesn't meet their expectations. let's get some of the other news 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. at least 11 people have been killed following two landslides in the same place in indonesia. it took place in the town of sumedang on the island ofjava. the first one was triggered by torrential rain on saturday afternoon. the second happened in the evening as rescue workers searched for victims of the first disaster. after two days of silence following his ban from social media platforms, it's been announced that president trump will travel to texas on tuesday. meanwhile in washington, senior us democrats have suggested that the house of representatives could vote as soon as tuesday on whether to impeach mr trump, but it's likely to delay a senate trial. the democrats accuse mr trump of inciting his followers to launch

a deadly assault on congress last wednesday. separately, thejustice department said it had charged two more people in connection with wednesday's events. lebo diseko has more from washington. it was from the democrat's whip in the house of representatives, he envisage, he think they will vote on the articles of impeachment in the house as early as wednesday, but it comes to the senate, they could wait to up to 100 days, beyond three months, if my maths is correct, to give those articles to the senate. and the reason is that as soon as the senate receive those articles, it has to focus on that, it cannot do anything else, and joe biden has a cabinet he wants to have sworn in and he has also got several things he wants to focus on. he named them himself on friday, the virus, the vaccines and also the economy. none of those will be possible if the senate is focusing on an impeachment trial, so james clyburn saying they could wait quite some time to trigger that process in the senate.

lebo diseko in washington. while democrats prepare to start impeachment proceedings against president trump this week, there are many of the president's backers who are downplaying wednesday's violence and continue to believe the polls were rigged. sophie long reports from arizona. dear lord, we ask that you watch over our president... they come to pray for their president... donald j trump. ..and demand that their rights be restored. they will never break our will. amen. these supporters of donald trump don't recognise the result of what they believe was a stolen election, and they say they'll continue their fight to prove that. i think there's only one thing that will happen that will stop these is when trump becomes president again. will you continue to come down here afterjoe biden is inaugurated on the 20th of january? joe biden will not be inaugurated on the 20th ofjanuary, so i don't feel any need. i'll keep coming here until trump is back in office. these scenes in the nation's capital

shocked america and the world. people watched a protest, called by the president, turn into a riot that resulted in destruction and loss of life. but one of the most high—profile protesters leading the charge called it a beautiful day. jake angeli spoke to me just hours before he was arrested and detained by the fbi. my intention was to do whatever it is that my country needed me to do without fear. i had no idea that i was going to end up in the senate, on the senate floor, sitting in mike pence's chair, but the moment i had the opportunity, i certainly took it. at sammy's mexican grill, where donald trump supporters meet and eat, what they say they saw on the 6th was a peaceful march was that was infiltrated by violent members of the far left. somebody prepare everything, it's everybody acting. do you think the president was set up to look bad?

definitely, there's no question about that. who would set up the president to look back? democrats. of course. i truly believe that a lot of the people that were probably antifa and many of the other people that have gone to these various things and tried to create havoc. i think it's probably some other group, because if you look at the rallies he had, there was never had any violence at the rallies, and like marie said, with antifa and all of that, i think they were travelling around the country causing trouble. joe biden is due to be inaugurated in less than two weeks, a fact fervent supporters still flying the flag for donald trump are far from ready to face. sophie long, bbc news, phoenix. you're watching bbc news. the headlines... 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 that the rules are not tough enough. with less than 200 days to the olympics, japan has declared a state of emergency for the nation's capital tokyo and its surrounding areas. covid—19 cases are surging and prime minister suga has bowed to calls to impose new restrictions. the state of emergency was imposed as the country's medical system faced increasing pressure. on saturday, new cases topped 7,000 for the third day in a row. a record of 7,900 new infections was hit on friday. and deaths are also spiralling. japan's death toll surpassed 4,000 this weekend. that's just 18 days after the figure

topped 3,000 on december 22nd. jeff kingstonjoins me now. he is an asia expert living injapan and the director of asian studies at temple university. and the director of asian studies thank and the director of asian studies you very much foi here thank you very much forjoining us here on bbc news. how have japan, up until recently, been successful in containing coronavirus?” until recently, been successful in containing coronavirus? i think most people basically believe that the japanese have acted in a sensible way with social distancing, wearing masks, and doing things to avoid transmissions, but the blame for the surge is squarely on prime minister suga, who has advocated this domestic tourism campaign, where the government subsidises travel around the nation. and since that programme sort of ramped up, transmissions have spiked. and as you pointed out, the death toll here has doubled

since november, so people are very alarmed, and so it was only belatedly, after the four governors put pressure on suga that he put on this limited state of emergency. other prefectures, they want that stated to the area in western japan. how compliance to the japanese tend to be when they're faced with these restrictions? generally speaking, compliant, but today is coming—of—age day, were 20 roads typically gather for coming—of—age day, were 20 roads typically gatherfor big coming—of—age day, were 20 roads typically gather for big publics or monies and festivities and then in the evening have wild celebrations. those are going to be you to share, but the sumo tournament started yesterday, and if that is any indication, does not look like there's a lot of social distancing going on there. it was quite crowded, even though a number of

high—ranking sumo have been banned from participating because they tested positive, so all this news physically would suggest we are getting towards a dire situation. with less than 900 the experts say the system is on the verge of collapse. trending bad, but the lockdown here is nothing we were jewish spirits in britain or elsewhere, it is a lockdown light. but how anxious are the organisers of the on the games —— nothing like what you see in britain or elsewhere. i think they are getting very nervous. lots of hopes are writing on the vaccine, but we know there are big adjustable challenges, supply bottlenecks. bringing together tens of thousand of people from all of the world could transform the olympics into the

super spreader event of super spreader events, and so i think a lot of people are cautious, and 80% of japanese in a lot of people are cautious, and 80% ofjapanese in a poll over the weekend said it's fine to cancel or postponed, so is there is very limited public enthusiasm here to go ahead. jeff kingston from temple university in japan i ahead. jeff kingston from temple university injapan i think you very much for your time. and staying in japan, the annual new year ice bath in the capital tokyo took on a more serious meaning this year. with fewer people taking part, the teppou—zu inari shrine added a theme of "warding off epidemics". the ceremony is held every year on the second sunday of january. this report from jatinder dhillon. warming up for what is about to be a very cold ritual. with the temperature at 5 degrees celsius, these men and women in protective facemasks brave the cold, clap and chant for a good reason. they are preparing to take part in the annual ice bath. but this year, they are also

praying for an end to the coronavirus global pandemic. once ready, the nine men and three women plunge into the tub filled with cold water and ice blocks and continue to chant. the annual shinto ritual at teppou—zu inari shrine attracts nationwide attention. usually, more than 100 people, most of whom are from the shrine's parish, would be taking part. but this year, this has been scaled down because of the health crisis. no spectators are allowed. translation: i prayed that the coronavirus comes to an end as soon as possible, and i also prayed that we have ordinary daily lives. translation: normally, we have more people taking part, which makes the water temperature a little bit warmer.

but this year, there were just 12 of us, so the freezing cold temperature was crazy. japan has struggled to contain a recent surge in coronavirus infections, with tokyo reporting nearly 1,500 new cases on sunday. the government declared a limited state of emergency for tokyo and three neighbouring prefectures on thursday, covering almost a third of the country's population, in a bid to limit the spread. regional governors have asked for the state of emergency to be extended to their prefectures. with the ritual over and their souls purified, the participants pay their respects to the shrine in the hope their prayers will be answered. jatinder dhillon, 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 afterfor 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. in order to arrest them. 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. this isn't acutely sensitive ancient species. —— this is an acutely sensitive ancient species. 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, 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's horrific. this adult female was rescued and survived. now she's 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's 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. you're watching bbc news. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers joe twyman and lynn davidson — that's coming up after the headlines at 11:30pm. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello there. we had some beautiful weather watcher pictures sent to us earlier today, particularly across southern england, where the early morning fog had liquid water below zero degrees celsius, super cold water. and as soon as that hit cold surfaces, it froze instantly, creating this beautiful layer of rhyme on this tree. now, today has been another chilly day across southern areas of the uk, but for most of us, it has been getting slowly less cold through the day. and that trend to mild weather continues into tomorrow. for some, temperatures will be up at around ten degrees as we head into tomorrow afternoon. now, overnight tonight,

we've got some rain around, always heaviest across west scotland, where combined with snowmelt, we are going to see a risk of some localised flooding building in here. for most of us, it is a night that's going to be frost—free, so much milder compared with recent nights. the exception, really, shetland, where it remains cold with a few wintry showers. for monday, well, this milder air is going to continue to slowly slop its way across the uk, accompanied by fairly brisk west—southwesterly winds. so, a breezier day than we've seen over recent days, a cloudier day, too, with rain across north—western areas. the rain still heaviest in scotland. with colder air feeding into the north of this weather front, we may well see the rain turn to snow for a time across the high ground of scotland, with some several centimetres accumulating over higher reaches of the highlands. but otherwise it's a mild day, temperatures 8—10 degrees celsius, and that's not something we've seen over recent days. for tuesday, colder air comes back southwards across northern and eastern areas of the uk, so for many parts of the uk, tuesday will be a colder but sunnier kind of day.

there will be a few showers for northern scotland, a few showers running into norfolk as well. thicker cloud out towards the south and west, but for most, it's going to feel colder. temperatures around 3—5 degrees celsius. with that cloudy, damp weather affecting parts of wales and south west england, temperatures here around 9—10 degrees celsius through tuesday afternoon. now, there will be further temperature contrasts midweek. there's a weather system moving in off the atlantic bringing more rain, but as this bumps into the cold air, we could see a spell of snow for a time over the high ground. it is across these western areas where we'll continue to see that milder air pushing in. temperatures 9, 10, 11 degrees. but across north—eastern parts of the uk, we've still got cold air around, so temperatures around 3—5 celsius. that's your weather.

hello. this is bbc news with martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment withjoe twyman and lynn davidson. that is when the floor manager brought them to me. you almost saw her. first, the headlines — the health secretary warns people against bending coronavirus lockdown rules in england and backs tough police enforcement. 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. and we all have a part to play. with hopes pinned on vaccinations, the government promises that every uk adult will be offered the jab by the autumn. disruption to supermarket supplies in northern ireland as food shipments from great britain become more complex after brexit. and league two's crawley town deliver an fa cup upset, beating their premier league visitors leeds 3—0.
