this is bbc news, the headlines: president biden has introduced an economic relief plan worth $2 trillion to provide help to americans reeling from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. speaking at the white house, mr biden said the government needed to act "decisively and boldly". democratic leaders in the us congress have said the articles of impeachment against former president donald trump will be delivered to the senate on monday. however the senate majority leader, chuck schumer, has said the trial will not begin until the second week of february. there is evidence that the new variant of coronavirus — which first emerged in england before christmas — could be more deadly than the original. the uk's chief scientific adviser said it could be 30—a0% more deadly for men in their sixties. a couple who were both

seriously ill in hospital with coronavirus have been married in intensive care just before the groom was put on a ventilator. the couple were supposed to be getting married injune. staff at milton keynes university hospital found them a vicar and helped them to organise a ceremony, complete with a cake and flowers. and thankfully, a happy ending. sarah campbell reports. a wedding photo which tells a story of our time. simon was about to be admitted to intensive care, his condition rapidly deteriorating. his fiancee lizzie had been told he might not recover. my heart broke. to be sat there so ill and to be told the person you love, you might not see them again, isjust... ..indescribable. with time running out nursing staff here immediately set about planning a wedding.

they called in a local vicar, who came and did the ceremony in intensive care, and they were absolutely amazing, absolutely amazing. bearing in mind all that was going on, what was going through your mind? we got to make that promise to each other. we got to have something that we didn't think we were going to be able to have. against expectations simon rallied and just a day after being taken into intensive care he was returned to the covid ward and his new wife. ten days after the wedding, simon is thought to be over the worst and lizzie is due to be discharged. a happy ending for them and for the nurses turned wedding planners. there have certainly been moments where you question, do you stay in nursing. but then you experience something like the wedding, and you think, absolutely, if there's anything we can do

it gives you faith to carry on and itjust keeps you going a little bit longer. and what are you looking forward to as newly—weds now? we're both looking forward to... ..just sitting at home with a home—cooked meal together. that would be bliss at the moment. sarah campbell, bbc news. now on bbc news, the travel show. this the travel show. week, some of our favourite this week, some of our favourite adventures from southeast asia. if}? favourite adventures from southeast asia. from southeast asia. 777 steps. from the to southeast asia. 777 steps. from the tap of _ southeast asia. 777 steps. from the tap of a _ southeast asia. 777 steps. from the top of a buddhist _ southeast asia. 777 steps. from the top of a buddhist temple... | the top of a buddhist temple... and he we come to a bridge. to a bone shaker in the cambodian jungle. a bone shaker in the cambodian “uncle. ~ ., a bone shaker in the cambodian jungle-- to _ a bone shaker in the cambodian jungle- to the _ a bone shaker in the cambodian jungle. maw! to the traffic jungle. wow! to the traffic 'ams of jungle. wow! to the traffic jams of manila... - jungle. wow! to the traffic jams of manila... you - jungle. wow! to the traffic| jams of manila... you don't want a distracted _ jams of manila... you don't want a distracted driver, i jams of manila... you don't| want a distracted driver, the traffic here is a little bit cra . , , ., _ crazy. hi mum, hyper. to baby macaques _ crazy. hi mum, hyper. to baby macaques in — crazy. hi mum, hyper. to baby macaques in thailand - crazy. hi mum, hyper. to baby macaques in thailand was - crazy. hi mum, hyper. to baby macaques in thailand was blue don't try and steal pearls.

find out why campaigners, along with social media giants were asking people to think first before snapping a selfie with a wild animal. i am heading to the wildlife friends foundation three hours' drive south of thailand's capital bangkok to find out what is being done to help out animals being used in the tourism industry. the 165 acre complex houses a rescue centre in thailand's first wildlife hospital. there is also a refuge for elephants so there are plenty of photo opportunities. if i go on instagram and search for say, elephant selfie, under that # there is almost 15,000 posts. but when i click on that #, i get a warning that says protect wildlife on instagram, animal abuse and the sale of endangered animals or their parts is not allowed on instagram. the page asks the poster to be wary when paying for photo opportunities with exotic animals. it is an issue

charities are trying to tackle on the ground. so how big a problem is these animal selfie pictures because elliott is huge, it is huge. let me show you a few of the things i've come across you a few of the things i've come acros- you a few of the things i've come acros , come across during my time here workin: come across during my time here working in _ come across during my time here working in thailand. _ come across during my time here working in thailand. he _ come across during my time here working in thailand. he we - come across during my time here working in thailand. he we have l working in thailand. he we have a cabin being used as a photo pf°p a cabin being used as a photo prop animal. it is very, very common to see a baby gabbin or a slow loris being carted around by a guy and people might pay on or 200 but to get that selfie but sadly it is a life time for that animal. what is he riding on? _ life time for that animal. what is he riding on? it— life time for that animal. what is he riding on? it is a liger, i is he riding on? it is a liger, between — is he riding on? it is a liger, between a _ is he riding on? it is a liger, between a tiger— is he riding on? it is a liger, between a tiger and - is he riding on? it is a liger, between a tiger and a - is he riding on? it is a liger, between a tiger and a lion. l is he riding on? it is a liger, | between a tiger and a lion. it is the biggest cake and have but a lot of these animals are beaten into submission. he is on a very, very short chain. this is a family, we don't know if the animal has diseases or vice—versa. these people could have a common cold and it is very easy for that to be

limited bus and train service, the backbone of its public transport is currently best. the design is modelled on the usjeeps that were the design is modelled on the us jeeps that were abandoned here and repurposed after the second world war. to this day, they're still the best way to get around to is the system is quite tricky for a newcomer to get to grips with. ok, so i weave my way through the traffic that is now on the sidewalk, i am looking for ones that says libertad. and it should be on wannabes in paints the place i'm looking for. libertad, this must be it. if you have a smartphone, it makes things a lot easier. there is an app called is sakay.ph where you can put in your pickup and location. it wants us to go to libertad so it tells us to walk here where thejeepney is and that's about a us dollar for an

hours ride. it's not bad, pretty cheap. we are taking this journey on a weekend when the roads are quieter. during the roads are quieter. during the week, there jams can go on for miles. and i soon discovered that if you sit right behind the driver, you are expected to help them out. 10 pesos. this is how the system seems to work, as the people comes on, the money starts to flow and it all comes through me because you don't want a distracted driver, especially in the streets of manila because the traffic there is a little bit crazy. so it is my first time on a jeepney today. i am wondering if you have any tips for me. it is better to sit beside the driver because there is more fresher and at the same time, it prevents the whiplash effect of the long jeepney. the whiplash effect. i of the long jeepney. the whiplash effect.- of the long jeepney. the whiplash effect. i see. almost like a fish's — whiplash effect. i see. almost like a fish's tail— whiplash effect. i see. almost like a fish's tail so _ whiplash effect. i see. almost like a fish's tail so it _ whiplash effect. i see. almost like a fish's tail so it is - like a fish's tail so it is more stable.—

we are on social media too, just search bbc travel show and you will not be too far off so for now, from chile japan, stay safe, key planning and we will see you soon. —— chilly. —— keep planning. hello there. we are staying firmly in the cold air mass this weekend, so it means we'll continue to see very cold nights, widespread frost, some ice. but by day, there should be quite a bit of sunshine around. however, there is some snow in the forecast particularly on sunday across southern britain and this could lead to some disruption. stay tuned to the forecast — more on that in just a moment. for saturday, we have low pressure to the north of the uk that brings a run of north—westerly winds and feeding in lots of wintry showers. quite breezy across the north—west, less so further south. we start off with some

showers from the word go across the north—west, a risk of ice, some early mist and fog clearing from the south, and then we'll continue with the showers western scotland, north—west england, running through the cheshire gap into the midlands, perhaps running into parts of east anglia and the south east, where it will also be cloudier. but it will stay brighter with sunshine for the north—east and south—west, but it's going to a cold day wherever you are — temperatures 2—5 celsius. showers continue on for awhile through saturday evening and central areas, further showers for northern and western scotland, and then we turn our attention to this — this feature running into wales and the south—west of england during the early part of sunday to bring some rain, sleet and snow. but another very cold night to come for saturday night — sub—zero values for most and a risk of ice to watch out for too. so for sunday then, we look at this feature running into the south—west — this weather front — which will bring the rain initially and then some snow to wales, south—west england and perhaps across into parts of the midlands, southern and south—eastern england as we move through the day. now, there's still some uncertainty to this but it does

look like at this stage, we could be looking at some accumulations of snow to parts of central and southern england 1—5 cm in places, likely to cause disruption. further north, it will be brighter, there'll be with further wintry showers across some western areas but it's going to be another really cold day, particularly where we have the lying snow across the south. into next week, it starts off cold monday but then watch this, through the week, the milder air starts to spread up from the south—west so it will be turning a lot milder across the board. but with that, mild, moisture—laden air will see weather systems pushing in, too, with strong winds. this is pretty bad news after all the rain which we've seen across the north and west of the country. this could cause some issues. so monday starts off cold, further wintry showers, then it gradually turns more unsettled, wetter and milder and windier as we move through the week, perhaps the risk of local flooding in places.
