this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the moment a glacier washes away a dam in northern india. at least two hundred people are missing. rescue teams are at the scene — one man has been pulled out alive from under the rubble. south africa says its suspending its full rollout of the astrazeneca vaccine after a study showed disappointing results against the local variant of coronavirus. the protests against the military coup in myanmar have become the largest for more than a decade. and the build up to america's biggest sporting event — the super bowl —— we'll be hearing why the usually coveted advertising space has sold more slowly this year.

hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. police in northern india have said at least 200 people are still missing after a glacier broke free and smashed into a hydroelectric dam. one witness said a wall of water and rock sped down the river so quickly there was no time to sound the alarm. a massive rescue operation is taking place and survivors have been pulled from under the mud and rubble. it happened in uttara—khand state on the dhauli — ganga river in the district of chamoli. our delhi correspondent rajini vaidyanthan reports this dramatic footage shows when the nanda devi glacier in the himalayas burst on sunday morning. as water gushed down the valley, damage and destruction.

translation: i witnessed something that looked like a scene _ from a bollywood film. i've never seen anything like it. about 50—100 people were running for their lives, but couldn't be saved. and they were engulfed by the river. the situation here is still dangerous. people are leaving their homes and are fleeing towards the forest. they're taking their belongings, including their quilts and mattresses. with floodwaters rising and roads and homes destroyed, an urgent rescue operation was under way. hundreds of members of the indian military and disaster response units have been deployed to the area. translation: we are ensuring| that those who are stranded due to bridges being washed away and due to the absence of bridges, cheering. a moment of hope, as workers rescue one man from this tunnel. but dozens more are still feared trapped. officials say two power plants, employing more than 150 people, were also hit. many of the workers remain unaccounted for. hospitals are on standby.

in a tweet, india's prime minister narendra modi said he was constantly monitoring the situation. "india stands with uttarakhand," he says. south africa is suspending its full rollout of the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine after a study showed disappointing results against the local variant of coronavirus. last week south africa received one—million doses of the astrazeneca jab and had been due to begin vaccinating people next week. south africa's health minister was speaking at a video briefing. are scientist must quickly sit together and figure out what approach we are going to effectively deploy the astrazeneca vaccines. it must be clear when they can be done, but conditions will be fulfilled,

basically that is the assignment thatis basically that is the assignment that is been given to our scientists. they will figure it out and it is a temporary issue until we figure out what the next step is supposed to be. when we know the steps, we will move quickly. scientists behind the oxford astrazeneca vaccine say it should still prevent people needing hospital treatment or dying —— if infected with the south african variant. around 100 cases of the variant have been identified in the uk. our medical editor fergus walsh reports on the latest research — and the ongoing effort to combat emerging and future strains of the coronavirus. snow and ice did not stop the vaccination drive in ipswich today. there is now a road, albeit a difficult one, out of the pandemic. but there is concern that current vaccines being used at thousands of centres across the uk might eventually lose some of their potency as coronavirus evolves. the oxford astrazeneca jab works well against the kent variant first seen in september and now dominant

in the uk. but a small study of 2,000 young adults in south africa suggests that it gives minimal protection against mild and moderate disease caused by the variant there. even so, scientists in oxford are confident that it would still prevent serious covid disease. maybe we won't be reducing the number of cases as much, but we still won't be seeing the deaths, the hospitalisations and the severe disease, and that's really important for health care systems. even if we are having mild and asymptomatic infections, to prevent people from going to hospital with covid would have a major effect. coronavirus is constantly mutating. most changes aren't a worry. vaccines use the gene from the spike protein to train the immune system, so if this code mutates, as it has in the variance from south africa, brazil and kent, it may make the virus less visible to antibodies.

thankfully, t cells, another part of our immune system, look like they can spot infection, meaning existing vaccines should protect against severe disease. more than 100 cases of the south africa variant has been found in the uk, and house—to—house testing in affected areas is under way in a bid to suppress its spread. but it's inevitable that more variants will emerge. the oxford team are creating prototype vaccines against several variants and say they will be ready if needed by the autumn. coronavirus immunisation may become an annual event. we see very much probably an annual or a booster in the autumn, the way we do with flu vaccinations, where you look at what variant of virus is spreading around the world, you rapidly produce a variant of vaccine and then begin to protect the nation.

the more coronavirus mutates, the less likely it is that transmission can be stopped. it means covid will probably be a permanent threat. but like other diseases, mostly preventable by vaccination. fergus walsh, bbc news. let's look at some of the day's other news the president of haiti, jovenel moise, says police have arrested more than twenty people he accused of plotting to kill him. opposition leaders recently said a judge would temporarily take power after mr moise resigned. they claim his term ends today, sunday. but mr moise has repeatedly stated that his five—year term ends in february 2022. us presidentjoe biden said he won't lift sanctions against iran — as long as the islamic republic fails to adhere to its nuclear deal commitments. under the 2015 agreement iran is permitted to enrich uranium but only within certain limits.

the head of the united nations food agency says a deal has been reached with ethiopia to expand its operations in the northern region of tigray. nearly 3 million people need help as a result of the conflict between the federal army and regionalforces. president ronald reagan's long—time secretary of state, george shultz, has died aged one—hundred. mr schultz spent most of the 1980s trying to improve relations with the soviet union and forging a course for peace in the middle east. he was also one of the many republican figures who resisted donald trump's rise to the presidency myanmar has seen its largest protests in more than a decade. tens of thousands of people have rallied against the military coup, demanding the release of the elected leader aung san suu kyi. internet access has now been restored after a day—long blackout. the military seized power a week ago after claiming, without evidence, that the november election was fraudulent. from bangkok, our correspondent jonathan head reports. they started marching in the morning, and the numbers just kept growing.

if the soldiers who unseated myanmar�*s elected government on monday thought their coup would be unopposed, thousands came out to prove them wrong, filling the streets. chanting. "democracy is our right", they chanted, "ending dictatorship, ourwill". horns honk. the traffic was forced to a crawl and cars sounded their horns, not in anger, but in support, and in defiance of the police, who mutely watched as yangon city centre was taken over. many wore or carried the colour red of the national league for democracy, the deposed party of aung san suu kyi. and everywhere, herface. she's still in military custody, but very much the symbol of this growing resistance movement. chanting. translation: we don't want to go back to military rule. _

we don't want to live in fear. we want mother suu to be freed from being under detention unjustly. translation: they can block the internet and other - communications, but they can't block people's ears, their mouths and their brains. the security forces made no attempt to break up the massive crowd. some traffic police even handed out water. just for a moment, you could forget that a popular leader had been overthrown at the point of a gun. but the momentum behind this movement must worry myanmar�*s military rulers. there were similar protests across the country in the second city, mandalay, a surprisingly big march in chin state, and even in the military�*s own citadel, the fortress—like capital naypidaw, a noisy rally of protesting motorbike riders. the military may hold all the levers

of government, but for now, the streets belong to the people. after an anxious and dispiriting week, there was relief and enjoyment in these protests. but the army has killed thousands before to shore up its power. it may do so again. jonathan head, bbc news. choh vin is the director of the burma human rights network here in the uk. he told me what the protesters are calling for we are the people in burma calling for the restoration of democratic government, established in the 2000 and constitution. government, established in the 2008 constitution. what is wrong in their view that dates back from 13 years ago? this is from day one. the people of burma do not agree with 2008 constitution.

because 2008 constitution was drafted by the military, to make them power and continue to make them money, to keep the power in the grips and as you see, they would tread and they are above the law. this is undemocratic. if 25% of committees selected by general, sit in the parliament of democratically elected mps, without the approval, if you want to pass any laws, need 76%. if i% of them oppose, then we cannot pass any laws, then they control the parliament. pass any laws, then they control the arliament. ., ., ., pass any laws, then they control the parliament-— parliament. how great a risk are these demonstrators _ parliament. how great a risk are these demonstrators taking - parliament. how great a risk are - these demonstrators taking because we know that the military is capable of squashing dissent? yes. of squashing dissent? yes, absolutely _ of squashing dissent? yes, absolutely because - of squashing dissent? yes, absolutely because this - of squashing dissent? yes, absolutely because this is i of squashing dissent? yes, i absolutely because this is the of squashing dissent? 1&1: absolutely because this is the time where the generation is fed up with

their the ruthless military and generals with their cunning nature. you will see that the bit of the family across from around the world. people have to say enough is enough and this will be need to do. but we are very cautious about what's going to happen in the next few days because tomorrow is general strike nationwide. so, i think the military showed their true colours. and we have alloted our teams to collect evidence and also there is an independent investigative mechanism of demand that is already established and after that, genocide. this mechanism is also continuously watching on burma and

any human violation or amount of crime, they could be charged and prosecuted in international criminal court. this is why the key differences then, before and also the generations are very good with the digital and the technologies. so we have hope that the military would not use that violence to crack down on the public. the headlines on bbc news. at least 200 people are missing after part of a himalayan glacier broke away in northern india and smashed into a dam causing flooding. south africa says its suspending its full rollout of the astrazeneca vaccine after a study showed disappointing results against the local variant of coronavirus. sport now and manchester city have beaten champions liverpool by four goals to one — to go five points clear at the top

of the english premier league. liverpool will be ruuing several errors by their goalkeeper alisson. ilkay gundogan scored twice while raheem sterling and phil foden also found the net. that's ten premier league wins in a row for city with liverpool back in fourth. two massive mistakes. they gave these two goals really easy away and these two goals really easy away and the fourth one was a situation and also in these moments, they decided that it's clear. in other other english premier league results, tottenham beat wolves two nil. wolves and leicester drew nil nil and chelsea beat sheffield united two one to go up to fifth in the table. cricket and the test match between england and india resumes in chennai on monday, with the tourists in a solid position.

spinner dom bess took 4 for 55 as india closed 257 for 6, still 321 runs behind england. rish—abh pant, who launched a counter attack, and chetesh—war pujara, kept india in contention. this year's super bowl promises to be a classic with the tampa bay buccaneers taking on the kansas city chiefs shortly. these are live pictures from tampa now where fans have been arriving at the stadium. fewer than 25,000 people will be attending the game and there will be less razzamataz on display. traditionally advertising space for the super bowl sells out quickly and costs a premium. however, this year, advertising has been much harder to shift. professor derek rucker is from the kellogg school of management at northwestern university. he explained why selling advertising has been harder this year. we heard that the advertising was virtually sold out. which is unheard

of. we look at spacing in terms of the pandemic, socialjustice the pandemic, social justice movements the pandemic, socialjustice movements as well as a lot of political politics in the states, there is a lot to be uneasy of it as an advertiser good thing think about what you're trying to say what might be interpreted as in other areas. advertisers were a little gun shy this time and rightfully so, there is a year to be worried or cautious and this is the year.— and this is the year. what are we likel to and this is the year. what are we likely to see _ and this is the year. what are we likely to see in _ and this is the year. what are we likely to see in terms _ and this is the year. what are we likely to see in terms of- and this is the year. what are we likely to see in terms of tone - and this is the year. what are we | likely to see in terms of tone and the advertisements that do appear? good question. we have some sneak preview so we know a bit of what is coming. a lot of brands are trying to play pretty safe. fun, humour, not too much discussion of the pandemic going around. we have seen almost no masks and then he adds, so no acknowledgement there. i'll be curious to see someone sneaking there the situation we are facing head—on, but so far it seems like were going to see a particularly safe year by brands who chose to

booming for doordash. so for the right brands, this could be a great place to tell your message. but you're right, if a brand does that then that is not going to look good. another big sporting event — the australian open tennis tournament starts on monday. it's the most ambitious competition since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. the event is only happening because australia has been able to control the spread of the virus. for the latest we can now speak to our correspondent shaimaa khalil who joins us from melbourne. not without controversy though. not without not without controversy though. iirrt without controversy but i must say that this feels like a very different place than we had last week. melbourne park definitely has a bit of a buzz around it this morning. this monday morning. there is music going on, there's a very big screen with today's schedule and

also, covid—19 safety rules and measures and it is very loud, bands have started coming up to these areas now with their tickets which areas now with their tickets which are mainly used for contact tracing but as she said, not without drama, not without controversy because only a few days ago, we have a positive covid—19 case in one of the tournaments quarantine hotels and it has sent more than 500 players, officials and staff in isolation and overturn negative tests and here we are on the first day of the first grand slam of the season. i will say though that a few minutes ago, we did get reports of another positive covid—19 case in melbourne and whether quarantine hotels. not linked to the tennis, it is important. hopefully it will not affect today's events as much to the organisers relief, players will be on the courts soon and play will

begin in the grand slam. huge relief and a welcomed opportunity to watch some tennis for all of those fans. absolutely. all weekend really. people keep coming in to form of the events we have been speaking to as many staff who have been saying that we have been under one of the longest and strictest quarantines and isolations of lockdown in the world. melbourne invented really tough compared to the rest of australia and for us to be able to do this and come out and watch this for a bit of entertainment and sports, it really feels like it was unimaginable for melbourne all those months ago. so, because of covid—19 restrictions and travel bands and the closure of australian borders. most of the crop will be local, they feel that they deserve a bit of fun. —— crowd. how many of the big names

there's nothing like a good lockdown laugh. in what has been a miserable year, the chance to chortle is being leapt at by these comedy fans who would fill theatres pre—pandemic to see comics like felicity ward. you had to be in the room, they'd say. yes, this is an adventurous choice of trouser. well, now, you have to be in the zoom. welcome to the first night of the leicester comedy festival 2021! the leicester comedy festival is normally a mixed—bill, multi—venue event. now it's a purely online experience. i know what i have to do, i like to engage with the audience, that's what i used to do in olden times. hey, how is everybody doing? there's even a sense ofjeopardy that somebody might at home might leave their mic on while shouting at a family member. shouting. bring it to me, please! laughter.

this is how i dress. i am from an area called millwall. prince abadi also performed on opening night from his makeshift stage at home, all alone, no audience energy to work with. it can't be easy. it's a bit strange performing to people at home, - and you see how well some people live, like, i did a gig to the other. day to two people in a hot tub. so it's a bit odd for the performers, but what about the audience? what you can't see is, i've got my pyjama bottoms on. i felt a bit self—conscious at the beginning because you don't have the cover of darkness. i wish we could all. be in the same room. as close as being at a real gig as it can be, especially- when they let you interact - and they talk to you and you can hear other people laughing. i love it. can you see that, bbc? experienced comics have adapted their acts for a domestic setting, but is the popularity of live streamed gigs a quick counter—covid fix or a game changer? it will absolutely change

the landscape of comedy and what it has done already, it's included a bunch of people that often have to assess whether they can go to a gig, people with physical disabilities, people with social anxiety. i think that what it will allow is, people will start to think internationally now when they're doing a live gig. laughter. there are downsides to this technology that we all know about. she's frozen. but that's perfectly fine. the one big advantage is, if you want to quietly leave the room, you can do so without fear of being picked on or humiliated. will gompertz, bbc news. london's tiniest house is for sale, forjust under one million pounds, or 1—point—three million us dollars. this is what it looks like — measuring just 1.7 metres — that's 5ft6 — in width at its narrowest point. estate agents describe the five—floor house

as "a bit of london magic". it was built in the late 19th or early 20th century, and originally it was a victorian hat shop with living quarters. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. love. the overriding weather story for of us this week has been just how cold it is. all parts of the first half of the week sent to bring hedonists snow showers, many in the west will avoid them. frosty time as the winds follow little bit later in this cold air would try to push its way in. as you can see these to the easterly winds dominating throughout much of the week but milder atlantic air trust to push and in that boundary line could bring in some snow on the west but the? is how far it gets in. the corridor in march when out. on sunday, the shows crust tent and parts of east anglia is these areas rental midday monday and these areas rental midday monday and the mets office and what one remains

in place. but elsewhere in eastern england and scotland to start the day from snow showers to the night. you are in the west and all starts in subzero temperatures and of course the chance of semites. enter monday and the shows few and far between, —— some ice. in some showers forming corridors and peak districts in aberdeenshire and get under those, districts in aberdeenshire and get underthose, persistent districts in aberdeenshire and get under those, persistent snow could mount up to 15 cm of snow blowing along leading to some pretty strong winds. stockton in south east that should have a big impact on temperatures. on the thermometers, zero to three degrees potentially it's if you like that i did was because the wind could feel his cauldron —7 —8 through the afternoon in east anglia in the southeast. the court when chill should continue into tuesday and for the snow flurries coming in in the wind shifting direction, different areas and a line between the central boat in scotland, went to east anglia and towards the home counties and also

for the systems getting close to cornwall and also across into parts of the channel islands. that could bring some sleet and snow gear but another day of subzero windshield for all of us. is he going to wednesday, the winds louise, the isobars opening up a little bit and that means we will see a very cold start with lighter winds, particular chrysostom fields us, and we could see temperatures around —13 —14. the shirts to reduce he will be as far west and mainly towards eastern areas. mostly towards the area will have a stripe right day, still pretty cold but with less of a wind chill out there. bye for now.

hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines.

a himalayan glacier collapses sending a wall of water and rock down river in northern india. at least nine people have died and officials say up to 200 people are unaccounted for. the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine offers limited protection against mild disease caused by the south african variant of covid—19 — but scientists say it will still help to beat the pandemic. we may not be reducing the total number of cases, but there's still protection, in that case, against deaths, hospitalisations and severe disease. 12 million people in the uk have now received a first dose of the coronavirus vaccine — but the government says it has no plans to introduce �*vaccine passports'. of course, you have the evidence that you have been vaccinated held by your gp. and if other countries require you to show proof of that evidence, then that is obviously up to those countries.

the protests against the military coup in myanmar have
