campaigning to improve civil rights for saudi women. and a vote of confidence for the astrazeneca vaccine as the who recommends its use for the over 65 is and you coronavirus variants. prosecutors in donald trump's senate impeachment trial have accused him of being insight into chief of the deadly riot stop never before seen footage was shown, including this moment when security guard goodman led mitt romney to turn around because of rioters. a

separate criminal investigation in georgia where donald trump is accused of attempting to overturn the state's election result. if found guilty, he could face jail. day two of the trump impeachment trial, and harrowing new pictures and sounds of what unfolded on the 6th of january. the disbelief of the police. they are throwing metal balls at us. the prosecution argument — this was a direct consequence of donald trump's words and actions that day and in the weeks leading up to it. donald trump surrendered his role as commander—in—chief and became the inciter—in—chief. and he told this story of an african—american policeman who had fought the protesters for hours to defend the capitol. the trump legal team were given a kicking for their poor performance yesterday.

donald trump was reportedly furious, and this republican senator changed his vote, he was so appalled. the issue in hand is, is it constitutional to impeach a president who has left office? and the house managers made a compelling, cogent case, and the president's team did not. but it looks like the former president has the votes to avoid being convicted and banned from ever holding public office again. but even if donald trump's impeachment problems go away, his legal difficulties don't — they're piling up, and in georgia, it's been confirmed that a criminal investigation has been launched after the president tried to persuade that state's secretary of state to find him extra votes so that he would win, and notjoe biden. what makes this deeply problematic for donald trump, who was campaigning in georgia after the election,

is that him asking for those votes is not a question of rival accounts, it's on tape. i just want to find 11,780 votes, election interference, one of the charges being looked at, is a felony offence. in other words, a crime that carries a prison sentence of more than a year. the mayhem at the capitol grew out of donald trump's repeated claims that the presidency had been stolen from him. it would indeed be ironic if he were the one man charged with interfering in the 2020 election. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. let's get more on this now first from our senior north american correspondent. what stands out most for you? i think those new videos that we

saw today, a dramatic illustration of exactly how close is the rioters came to members of congress, leadership of this country, including the vice president. the map of congress showing exactly where they were, where the members of congress were and that really illustrated the risk very present on january six illustrated the risk very present onjanuary six and how close the us came notjust to a tragic date with bloodshed of officers losing their lives but it could have been political leaders could have fallen into the hands of this unruly mob. the particular case the impeachment managers are put forward, they relied on donald trump's words, his tweets and speeches, and donald trump essentially laid out the evidence used against him, culminating in a 20% the afternoon of the riot on capitol hill where he said this

is what happens when an election is stolen, remember this day forever. i think that was a powerful moment that they came back to time and time again. came back to time and time aaain. ., ., , ., came back to time and time aaain. ., ., ,., ., again. revelations also about what he was _ again. revelations also about what he was doing _ again. revelations also about what he was doing and - again. revelations also about what he was doing and failed| again. revelations also about l what he was doing and failed to do in real—time while it was going on and when he comes out and speaks, he repeats the big like that helped to rile these people up in the first place. i think you could have a very real debate on whether donald trump's words that moment and leading to that, were done with the knowledge that it would end environs. whether you can hold him responsible or engage in what could be called as a heated rhetoric. ——in violence. it is difficult for donald trump defenders to address his lack of action during the attack on capitol hill. he is the president of the united states, just a mile away, saying and doing nothing to try and stop this mob from breaking

into the capitol and disrupting one of the fundamental processes of the us. his defenders will have a chance to make their case but that is going to be a very real challenge for them. i going to be a very real challenge for them. i guess eo - le challenge for them. i guess peeple not _ challenge for them. i guess people not following - challenge for them. i guess people not following all - challenge for them. i guess people not following all the details thinking this is surely an unanswerable case, why wouldn't republican senators vote to convict and the answer to that is there and the wider american public is the other audience. i american public is the other audience-— american public is the other audience. ~' , ., , audience. i think the democrats knew going _ audience. i think the democrats knew going into _ audience. i think the democrats knew going into this _ audience. i think the democrats knew going into this knowing i audience. i think the democrats knew going into this knowing it| knew going into this knowing it was going to be tough to convince i7 was going to be tough to convince 17 republicans to break ranks and support their case. they got six last night but that tells you 44 republicans think this entire proceeding is illegitimate and unconstitutional so anything they hearing today or tomorrow from the prosecution, they are

putting it aside and say, while it is powerful and disturbing, it is powerful and disturbing, it is powerful and disturbing, it is not relevant to the legality of the case but the democrats are trying to play this out in the court of public opinion and they do have poles on their side saying that the american public by a slight majority favours convicting donald trump and preventing him from running for office again. they want the historical legacy going forward that it is laid out in exacting detail so when the story is told about donald trump's residency, this will be one of the main points from the very beginning. one of the main points from the very beginning-— very beginning. thank you very much indeed _ very beginning. thank you very much indeed for _ very beginning. thank you very much indeed for that. - very beginning. thank you very much indeed for that. let's - much indeed for that. let's speak now tojim manley, a former eight. this is not a

court of law, it is a theatre and it is almost certain that the republican senators will not convict. is there any point really? i not convict. is there any point reall ? , really? i firmly believe that we as a nation _ really? i firmly believe that we as a nation have - really? i firmly believe that we as a nation have no - really? i firmly believe that. we as a nation have no other alternative but to hold this man accountable. i get the idea that the democrats want to move on with the agenda and deal with covid—i9 but we simply have to get this poison out of our system. as you mentioned, if this was a court of law, it would be a slamdunk. this guy would be a slamdunk. this guy would be a slamdunk. this guy would be convicted. as you yourself suggested, this is a purely political process and we will have to see what happens. all i know is i have spent 21 years working on the senate. i had offices in the capitol itself and i know every look

and cranny of that place and i was really rattled by but i have seen in the last couple of days. a devastating indictment on the so—called resident's handling of the situation. causation is still a problem. it is clear some of these people were already planning something for quite some time and they did not need mr trump to rile them up. a lot of people saying political rhetoric is not the same. it should bejudged by the rhetoric is not the same. it should be judged by the same scale. i should be 'udged by the same scale. ., ~' should be 'udged by the same scale. ., ~ ., should be 'udged by the same scale. ., 4' ., ., ~' scale. i would like to take that apart _ scale. i would like to take that apart one _ scale. i would like to take that apart one by - scale. i would like to take that apart one by one. - scale. i would like to take that apart one by one. i i scale. i would like to take | that apart one by one. i do scale. i would like to take - that apart one by one. i do not believe that the president has a first amendment right to insight insurrection like that. number two, insight insurrection like that. numbertwo, he insight insurrection like that. number two, he was the president of the united states and heat through lighter fluid on this incredibly incendiary situation going so far as

calling the truth to go back up to capitol heel while the vice president, his family, and the senators, were trying to get the hell out of the senate, into the basement, guarded by police with assault weapons. it is just... isjust... there is nothing like this in our history and i think that again he deserves to be discipline for what happened. be discipline for what happened-— be discipline for what hauened. ., ~' ., , ., happened. you know better than me, he happened. you know better than me. he has _ happened. you know better than me. he has 74 — happened. you know better than me, he has 74 million _ happened. you know better than me, he has 74 million voters - me, he has 7a million voters and there will be a whole bunch of people and even if they did not vote for mr trump, to impeachment, no convictions, he got away with it or you did not do it and everyone who is against him is lying and that they will vote for him again. possibly the case. there is a real poison going through the republican party and it has become so extremist has become

unrecognisable but again to do nothing is no longer an alternative and the second point i made and i think anthony hinton added, the fact of the matter is, the new york times poll had 56% of american people supported convicting the suv- people supported convicting the guy. i wish the number would have been 80% or 90% but in this bipartisan environment thatis this bipartisan environment that is pretty, you know, an acceptable outcome. all i know is they have $74 million, sure, butjoe biden got more. —— 74 million voters. butjoe biden won. million voters. but joe biden won. ~ ., ., million voters. but joe biden won. ., , ., ., won. what about the situation in georgia? — won. what about the situation in georgia? it _ won. what about the situation in georgia? it is _ won. what about the situation in georgia? it is possible - won. what about the situation in georgia? it is possible mr. in georgia? it is possible mr trump could be convicted, the only one perhaps, interfering with an election which is a felon? �* , with an election which is a

felon? v . ~ felon? let's take a step back. if you're one _ felon? let's take a step back. if you're one of _ felon? let's take a step back. if you're one of these - if you're one of these so—called advisers and you are looking at the plate of events, what is going on in georgia, new york, this guy has managed to escape because there is a ruling that says a sitting president cannot be indicted but that is no longer operative and he has never had a chance that he has faced before — at a charge. the irony that this guy who rallied against election fraud could in fact be charged is an amazing turn of events and again, it is all on tape. very interesting to talk to you. thank you. thank you. and thank you for being with us. much more to come, the oscar

show must go on. the academy awards will happen but from multiple global locations. there's mr mandela, mr nelson mandela, a free man taking his first steps into a new south africa. iran's spiritual leader, ayatollah khomeini, has said he's passed a death sentence on salman rushdie, the british author of a book which many muslims say is blasphemous. the people of haiti have flocked to church to give thanks for the ousting of their former president, ba by doc duvalier. because of his considerable value as a stallion, - shergar was kept in a special secure box in the stud - farm's central block. shergar was driven away. in a horse box the thieves had brought with them. there stepped down from the plane a figure in mourning, elizabeth ii, queen of this realm and of all her other

reports. she was reprimanded for her public campaigning to get women in the driving seat for years before the ban was lifted and calling for an end to male guardianship and speaking to foreign diplomats about women's rights. president biden has replaced what he calls donald trump's blank cheque to saudi arabia with demands it cleans up arabia with demands it cleans up its human rights record. he says the move is welcome news. she is a powerful advocate for women's rights and releasing her is the right thing to do. saudi officials insist they are not bowing to us pressure. but are aware the effect of human rights stories. they point to a

drop in executions. the 31 europa is my family warns she is still not free, subject to a travel ban and other restrictions while on probation. but for now, they are just probation. but for now, they arejust happy to probation. but for now, they are just happy to have their loved one back home. mark lobel loved one back home. mark lobel, bbc news. let's get more on this now. we can speak to lucy way with the uk can brew —— group highlighting human rights violations. so, she is free but not really free? she is on probation and there is a suspended sentence? absolutely. it is a suspended sentence? absolutely. it is a huge _ suspended sentence? absolutely. it is a huge win — suspended sentence? absolutely. it is a huge win for— suspended sentence? absolutely. it is a huge win for the _ suspended sentence? absolutely. it is a huge win for the family - it is a huge win for the family to have her back home, and with her sister staunchly campaigning for her release. however she is still, you know, she is not free to express her opinion and she is trapped within the country with a five year travel ban. the bigger

say she was tortured in prison. we know a saudi court has dismissed those allegations, it seems there will be unlikely movement on the —— it is unlikely there will be any more movement on that study there are still a lot of women in prison? are still a lot of women in rison? ., are still a lot of women in prison?— are still a lot of women in rison? ., ., . , prison? how do you currently runnina prison? how do you currently running a _ prison? how do you currently running a huge _ prison? how do you currently running a huge pr— prison? how do you currently running a huge pr campaign, with the failure of the g20 and obviously the new biden administration, that adds a lot of pressure. and we have the neon city that is going to be the new dubai of saudi arabia. they are not going to deal with any of these atrocities women are suffering. being forced into hunger strikes just to have access to families. one of the female prisoners, her daughter had to write an open letter, begging to have contact with her mother, who was a nurse and was simply put in prison for helping innocent protesters when they were hurt

astrazeneca jab for all adults including people over 65 after concerns about the jab's effectiveness in order people. the who says the jab should be used in countries where coronavirus variants exist —— older people. experts say the astrazeneca jab should still be used wherever it is available. we face a possibility in the reduction of the impact, but there is no reason not to recommend its use, even in countries that have the circulation of the variance. i will repeat that. even if you have a circulation of the variance in a country, there is no reason that we see for now to not use the astrazeneca

vaccine as indicated to reduce the level of severe disease in a population. it has been announced this year's oscars ceremony which has been delayed because of covid—19 will be in person. the academy is saying it is determined to produce a oscars like none other and will prioritise the public health and safety of all those participating and broadcast live from multiple locations worldwide, including the traditional venue of hollywood's dalby theatre. we can speak now to the film... i'm sorry. yes, formerfilm at its centre roy at the hollywood reporter. —— sinha roy. is an interesting choice, but this is such an unprecedented year, you know, we haven't been able to see movies on the big screen in the way they have beenin screen in the way they have been in theatrical releases. it makes complete sense that the academy now has to adapt to a

very strange year. but i think it is going to be an exciting way for them to kind of the more creative, and i like this idea of them being able to kind of go to different locations, the academy itself has so many different locations within la, they have their own museum they want to show up, there are also so many great theatres around the world, and i wonder if they will really pay or mars to the theatrical experience by perhaps going to some incredible theatres around the world and have people present there. it world and have people present there. ,., , world and have people present there. , ~' world and have people present there. , ~ ., there. it sounds like a massive logistical. _ there. it sounds like a massive logistical, technical, _ there. it sounds like a massive logistical, technical, and - logistical, technical, and health and safety exercise. but i suppose these are people who are used to organising massive things? i are used to organising massive thins? . , . things? i have been at the oscars for— things? i have been at the oscars for quite _ things? i have been at the oscars for quite a - things? i have been at the oscars for quite a few - things? i have been at the l oscars for quite a few years now running in the past, and let me tell you that is a feat unto itself, and there are thousands and thousands of people at that location, of being from every sort of factor from journalists to people who

go on stage. i think the academy knows how to run big events, and i think being able to break it up between different locations could actually be interesting, because i think we will get to see a show that perhaps speaks to the growing globality of film. how do you think it is going to — film. how do you think it is going to work _ film. how do you think it is going to work in _ film. how do you think it is going to work in practice i film. how do you think it is i going to work in practice and do we know yet any of the names involved as hosts?— involved as hosts? know, the last coople — involved as hosts? know, the last couple of— involved as hosts? know, the last couple of years, - involved as hosts? know, the last couple of years, the - last couple of years, the oscars have gone host list and drawn on star power, many different presenters. and i think they could go that way again. it seems to work for them. although, one of the biggest issue is the academy is dealing with oscars is following ratings. last year at 22.6 million turned in. so i think they are struggling to make sure that they can be relevant to. that has a ready been an ongoing struggle for them in the last few years. this year, because of the situation they are in, i think they will try really hard to be

creative and, one of the biggest things that has happened this year is because movie theatres have been shut down, consumers have been going to digital but forms and streaming. the rise of streaming. the rise of streaming has been something that has already been a big source of contention within the academy itself, because they like to honour the members in the article releases and traditional models, but you cannot ignore streaming. so i think this year we will see a fusion of everything coming together now, they have two acknowledge streaming is dominant, especially in the past year. dominant, especially in the past year-— dominant, especially in the past year. dominant, especially in the ast ear. , ., ., ~ ., past year. very good to talk to ou. past year. very good to talk to you- you _ past year. very good to talk to you- you too. _ past year. very good to talk to you. you too, thank _ past year. very good to talk to you. you too, thank you. - just briefly, i think we can show you some pictures from tampa, in florida. thousands of nfl fans have flooded the city as they celebrate the tampa bay buccaneers. officials had asked fans to socially distance and wear masks but many seemed to

ignore that request. the buccaneers won their second super bowl against the kansas city chiefs. thank you for watching. hello. it is bitterly cold out there at the moment, not only the coldest night of the winter so far but the coldest night in the uk in over a decade. so, needless to say, thursday morning starts with a very hard frost wherever you are and some icy stretches as well. temperatures first thing widely well below freezing, about —3 to —8 degrees for many of us, but in the coldest spots, we are likely to see temperatures even across the southeast of england and east anglia down to around —10, possibly —20 across the highlands of scotland. so, very cold start, icy stretches around, some dangerous travelling conditions where you have got that ice, particularly in the east. through the day, we'll see more cloud working in from the southwest of england,

wales and northern ireland. a few flurries of snow across the higher ground of the southwest of england. it's going to turn windy here, too, with gusts up to about 45 mph. elsewhere, the winds not as strong, a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine around on thursday, but not lifting those temperatures in a hurry, up to about 4 degrees in the warmest spots. and as we move through thursday night and on into friday, we've got a bit more cloud across western parts of the uk, a few snow flurries around here as well, temperatures not falling quite as low, but again, bitterly cold where you've got those clear skies. for much of england and wales, temperatures well below freezing once again. we've got this really cold air mass with us, and into friday, we're going to see the winds coming in for more of a southeasterly direction, so certainly fewer showers than we have seen recently. still some snow showers holding on across eastern parts of scotland on friday. much of england, wales and northern ireland looking dry. just the odd shower in the far south—west. once again,

temperatures between about freezing and 4 degrees celsius. now, moving through into the weekend, and you'll start to notice the yellow colours pushing in from the west, so that means, gradually, it looks like that milder air is going to move in through the course of the weekend. but saturday once again, bitterly cold start to the day. then as that milder air moves in, we could see some significant snow for parts of northern ireland, scotland, parts of northwest england, wales as well. further east, you're more likely to stay dry through the day on saturday and, again, bitterly cold, with temperatures really struggling to get above freezing once again. but then that milder air looks to be sweeping across the uk, so all of us not quite as cold. some rain in the north and west by the time we get to sunday. bye— bye.
