1:08 am
in to disperse striking ship workers and moved quickly from using tear gas and rubber bullets to live rounds. gunfire. the shooting was caught on camera by this terrified bystander. "please don't shoot! don't let it happen!" she says. two people were killed. several more sustained gunshot injuries. is this an escalation by the military junta? that isn't clear. in yangon, protesters were mostly left alone by the security forces today as they pressed their demands for the elected government of aung san suu kyi to be released and reinstated. they've been holding memorials, too, for the 20—year—old who was the first protester to die, adding fuel to a wave of public fury against the military which is still sweeping across myanmar.
1:09 am
the coup leaders, though, seem prepared to wait them out, while going in at night to arrest increasing numbers of those organising and funding the movement. "we young people have our dreams," said this 27—year—old. "but everything is gone now. everything we hoped for is being destroyed." they're trying to cripple the military�*s authority with these protests to show that they cannot govern. but how much longer can they keep this up? jonathan head, bbc news. tom andrews is the un special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in myanmar and joins me live from washington. thank you so much forjoining us and two protesters were shot dead in mandalay, your response?— dead in mandalay, your response? i'm outraged, horrified, _ response? i'm outraged, horrified, these - response? i'm outraged, horrified, these were - response? i'm outraged, - horrified, these were peaceful protesters, young people who were out on the streets, saying
1:10 am
very loudly and very clearly that they reject this coup, along with millions of their fellow countrymen and women. these protests have been very peaceful and to escalate the tactics that the military and the police were using against them is unconscionable and unacceptable.— them is unconscionable and unacceptable. are you in any kind of contact _ unacceptable. are you in any kind of contact with - unacceptable. are you in any kind of contact with the - kind of contact with the generals who are ruling myanmar?— generals who are ruling myanmar? generals who are ruling m anmar? ., . ., ., myanmar? no. we are in no contact whatsoever. - myanmar? no. we are in no contact whatsoever. so - myanmar? no. we are in no contact whatsoever. so how| myanmar? no. we are in no i contact whatsoever. so how do ou aet contact whatsoever. so how do l you get this message across? he said how abhorrent you found things. are they listening to you. —— you said. we things. are they listening to you. -- you said.— things. are they listening to you. -- you said. we are doing everything _ you. -- you said. we are doing everything we _ you. -- you said. we are doing everything we can _ you. -- you said. we are doing everything we can to _ you. -- you said. we are doing everything we can to make - you. -- you said. we are doing everything we can to make it i you. -- you said. we are doing| everything we can to make it as clear as we can that the international community is very serious about this. of course there has been a round of condemnation from throughout the world, including their neighbour, china, who issued a very strong statement, relatively speaking to china, but also countries from asean but also countries from asean but the eu, uk, the us and so
1:11 am
on but what is even more important at this point is to respond with action and targeted economic sanctions and an arms embargo are very, very much in need right now. and those sanctions need to tighten, increase and have a collective punch by co—ordinating them one to the other, to make absolutely certain that this is not going to be tolerated by the international community. [30 to be tolerated by the international community. do you reall see international community. do you really see china _ international community. do you really see china taking _ international community. do you really see china taking part - international community. do you really see china taking part in i really see china taking part in those kind of sanctions? well, no, i those kind of sanctions? well, no. i don't. — those kind of sanctions? well, no, i don't, to _ those kind of sanctions? well, no, i don't, to be _ those kind of sanctions? well, no, i don't, to be perfectly - no, i don't, to be perfectly honest with you. china, as you know, as we all know, has been a protector of the generals and at the security council they have provided the generals with their weapons and trade but the statement coming from china have been unusual in that they have been unusual in that they have been unusual in that they have been calling for the release of political prisoners, the standing down of the military and this coup. that's an unusual public statement and so we hoping behind the scenes, china is being very clear with myanmar that they do not want a
1:12 am
of instability over the border so we're hoping that the voices of the people that they listen to, from china to major businesses that they seek to do businesses that they seek to do business with, that they will be listening to them and looking at the actions of the international community and refraining from this kind of outrageous, outrageous attack. aung san suu kyi is in detention. are you able to establish where she is, how she is? are you able to speak to her? ., _, .. ., is? are you able to speak to her? ., .., ., . , her? no, communication devices were taken _ her? no, communication devices were taken from _ her? no, communication devices were taken from her— her? no, communication devices were taken from her so - her? no, communication devices were taken from her so she - were taken from her so she cannot receive any communications and she cannot get any communications out. it is the same with the president. but also the same with people right down the line. hundreds and hundreds of people have already been arrested and are in detention right now. i've talked to some of the family members of some of these who have not heard from their loved ones. police come in in the middle of the night at two am three am and knock on the door and take them away and i've been talking to people on the ground who are literally moving
1:13 am
day today, not tonight, different locations. they are in hiding just out of fear of what is going to happen. —— day to day and night tonight. these are not political leaders, these are community leaders so everyone seems to be a threat to the military and everyone is vulnerable to being arrested or, as we saw today, being injured or killed.— or, as we saw today, being injured or killed. tom andrews, thank you _ injured or killed. tom andrews, thank you so — injured or killed. tom andrews, thank you so much _ injured or killed. tom andrews, thank you so much for- injured or killed. tom andrews, thank you so much forjoining . thank you so much forjoining us. spanish police have clashed with supporters of the jailed catalan rapper pablo hasel on a fifth night of demonstrations in the city of barcelona. the protesters looted shops, torched several vehicles and attacked the city's stock exchange building. demonstrations erupted on tuesday after police arrested pablo hasel for tweets and raps defaming the monarchy. his supporters say it's an attack on free speech. the bbc�*s guy hedgecoe is following the story from madrid. he told us more about the protests. well, people are gathering for this fifth consecutive night of demonstrations against this sentence against against the rapper pablo hasel. we've seen this since tuesday.
1:14 am
the authorities are very concerned about these protests. well on tuesday, he began this jail sentence — a very controversialjail sentence — for insulting the spanish crown and glorifying terrorism, due to these tweets that he posted online a few years ago, and also due to the content — the lyrical content of one of his songs, which he posted online. and that triggered these protests. people believe that he was simply — he should've been allowed to express himself, this is a case of freedom of expression. the court that found him guilty decided he'd gone beyond that and he was inciting hatred and violence, but it's freedom of expression which is at the heart of these protests, although the authorities say that there are people who are out here at the moment who are just planning to carry out violent acts against the security forces. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: debris hurtles from the skies above colorado on to homes below after an engine fails on a united airlines flight

with 241 people on board. emergency workers say at least two people have been killed in the city of mandalay. president biden has approved a major disaster declaration for texas, which will pave the way for more us federal funds to be spent on relief efforts, including assistance for temporary housing, home repairs and low—cost loans, after the state has suffered widespread power blackouts and water shortages caused by a severe freeze over the last week. alvin migues is the emergency disaster services director for the salvation army in texas. he says it could take 18 months for things to return to normal. timing right now has been a huge issue for us. because we've gone through this whole year with the covid crisis, it's created, you know, a lot of challenges for folks, and theyjust don't have a lot to give right now. so having those federal dollars to come into the state allows us to focus on getting those home repairs done quickly and efficiently
1:16 am
so that people can get their houses back to normal and get their lives back where they need to be. i expect that we'll start our casework, our case management work, within the next couple of weeks, but i anticipate it taking up to a year, year and a half before everybody�*s back to normal. since this event started early last week, the salvation army has been working to open up will have a warm place to at least go and stay. there's a lot of folks that are running out of food, water's definitely becoming a huge issue for us, and we've done everything we can from our main hub to start supplying as many folks as we can with water, food products and then of course blankets, warm coats and that type of thing. we're working diligently right now with all of our vendors to try and secure food boxes, so that we can take those out and start delivering them across the state. we're hoping to receive probably up to 20 truckloads of food boxes in the next week or so that we can get out

of distributions, and we have been fighting as government to get outside resources here. but it is a challenge for all taxes, alljurisdictions are asking the state government and we are trying to help as best we are trying to help as best we can, trying to get also the water pressure backup. things are absolutely looking better, but it has been a tragic week, folks have been incredibly tough and resilient, but this community is absolutely exhausted. and this was man—made in part, which is part of the frustration. this was not entirely a natural disaster.— disaster. what was man-made about it? _ disaster. what was man-made about it? texas _ disaster. what was man-made about it? texas has _ disaster. what was man-made about it? texas has its - disaster. what was man-made about it? texas has its own - about it? texas has its own electrical— about it? texas has its own electrical grid, _ about it? texas has its own electrical grid, and - about it? texas has its own electrical grid, and the - about it? texas has its own i electrical grid, and the entity that runs it, ercot, it was not prepared. it didn't set aside any energy, didn't have resilient power plants, and it lost power, when we had this run of cold weather but frankly happened in other places. so they forced these power cuts on other people in order to balance the grid, for the grid is not to fail. the question
1:19 am
is, why would they not prepared, knowing that this cold weather was coming? and my 5 million residents as well as the rest of texas are going to deserve answers. so as we pushed through the recovery, thatis pushed through the recovery, that is what i'm asking, what is going to change, because something absolutely needs to change in the management of the state's energy infrastructure. were you asking these questions last year, before the winter? some people were. people have been asking these questions, this discussion that took place in 2011, when there was a previous of the system. and of course some folks are trying to make it political, they are saying that the reason the infrastructure failed was because wind turbines, the wind energy cannot sustain the cold weather, which we know is false. there are many nations, areas of this country, even, we have wind turbans in cold weather. so the focus, and the key, will be to stay focused on what public policy, what laws, what public policy, what laws, what structures failed, and ensure that we change those to

1:21 am
in hospital in london. prince philip was admitted to the king edward vii hospital on tuesday evening, after feeling unwell. our royal correspondent, daniela relph, gave us this update from outside the hospital. when the prince of wales came to see his father this afternoon, he was driven from his highgrove estate to central london. that's a journey of around 90 miles. he spentjust over half an hour inside the hospital before leaving again and heading back to gloucestershire. now, this is a private hospital, and the covid guidelines here at the moment do say that family visit shouldn't happen except in exceptional circumstances. but at this stage, we don't have any update on the health of the duke of edinburgh. he is spending his fifth night in hospital here, and today, buckingham palace have reiterated their most recent statements, saying that he's being kept in hospital out of an abundance of caution and that he remains in good spirits. russian opposition leader alexei navalny has been found guilty of defaming a second world war veteran in his second court appearance of the day.
1:22 am
he's already been sentenced to more than two years in prison. alexei navalny has cold the case a smear campaign against him. back in court. the kremlin's most vocal critic, russia's most famous prisoner. alexei navalny tried to be upbeat. but his appeal was rejected. the result? 2.5 years in prison for fraud and parole violations — charges widely seen as politically motivated. this was mr navalny a month ago, flying home after recovering in germany from being poisoned in siberia. he was arrested on arrival. that sparked nationwide protests, but the russian authorities were in no mood to listen. and there's been a cold response here to international criticism. this week, the kremlin rejected a ruling by the european court of human rights that mr navalny should be freed.
1:23 am
as for talk of more western sanctions, the kremlin has been exploiting that to its own benefit. in vladimir putin's russia, this is how it works. western criticism over the jailing of mr navalny, western pressure, western sanctions, the kremlin takes that and holds it up to the russian people and says, "look, we told you so, the west has got it in for russia." in other words, the authorities try to use this to bolster their claim that this is a country under siege. and that is precisely the message in the russian state media. basically, west is not interested in navalny. west is just willing to see russia destroyed. and that's the major idea that we have in russia. blaming the west is an attempt to distract attention from problems here? we are not... yes, of course, we have our problems. from problems here.
1:24 am
yes, of course, we have our problems. but they cannot be even compared with the problems the kremlin will be hoping that this problem of a rival and a challenger has been dealt with once and for all. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. a 21—year—old british woman has become the youngest female to row solo across the atlantic ocean. jasmine harrison from north yorkshire in the north of england, slept and rowed in two—hour rotations, to complete the crossing in 70 days. sophia tran—thomson reports. welcome to antigua! horn sounds. this was the moment jasmine harrison broke records. applause. the 21—year—old is the youngest female to row solo across the atlantic ocean. and for that matter, the youngest female to row solo across any ocean. welcome to antigua, jasmine! applause. when she stepped off the boat, she wasn't going to let her sea legs get in the way of celebrating. you did it in a time
1:25 am
of 70 days, three hours and 48 minutes! after taking up rowing just two years ago, jasmine completed the 4800—kilometre journey from the canary islands to antigua in her appropriately named boat, rudderly mad. i loved it. there's nothing like actually getting away from everything, from social media, from bad news, from literally everything. so i'd ring my friends up and they'd just say, "oh, we're in another lockdown for, like, three weeks," and i'm, "uh, i don't know, i don't care." she makes it sound easy, but jasmine battled 20—foot waves, was circled by sharks, narrowly avoided a collision with a tanker and at one point even capsized. now, after relying on peanut butter—fuelled energy for weeks, she says she's looking forward to a decent meal before thinking about her next challenge. sophia tran—thomson, bbc news.
1:26 am
what will be her next challenge, what can you do next, the pacific? more news on our website. you can reach me on twitter. i'm @jamesbbcnews. hello there. the very mild south—westerly winds which we've had during the start of this weekend have also brought a lot of rainfall across some western parts of england, wales, northern ireland and western scotland. we have seen some local flooding in places, river levels running very high. and as a consequence from all the recent rain, the number of flood warnings has increased. but the good news is for part two of the weekend, it looks a bit drier across the board. we should see quite a bit of sunshine around. it's going to stay mild, but there will still be some rain around but not as much as what we had on saturday. now, the rain will be courtesy of this weather front, which will start out across more southern and eastern
1:27 am
parts of england. low pressure to the north—west of the uk will bring fairly breezy conditions to northern ireland and scotland, where we'll start off for sunday with a few showers here. cloudier skies with outbreaks of mainly light and patchy rain across the south east will slowly work their way westwards. so, by the time we push on into the afternoon, parts of the north and west midlands, into wales and the south west could see some heavier rain, but not as heavy as what we had on saturday. and it'll be brighter into the afternoon across the south east, where it'll be very mild, but even mild further north and west, too. now, through sunday night, that weather front persists across much of england and wales. that's going to bring cloud, outbreaks of rain, some of it could pep up to be heavy again across wales and the south west, so we'll have to just watch that. across the south east, it'll be drier, and drier across the north west. a bit cooler here, but much milder for england and wales to start monday morning. we still have that weather front lingering across parts of england and wales, but through the day, it'll start to push northwards and eastwards and begin to fizzle out. so conditions will improve here.
1:28 am
one or two showers across the north west of scotland, but otherwise a good deal of bright and sunny weather around. a little bit cooler, you'll notice, across the north and the west, but very mild again across the midlands and the south and east. now, as we head on into tuesday, we see a new area of low pressure push in off the atlantic. that's going to bring renewed weatherfronts with more rain, stronger winds here as well. but it'll also be drawing up some extremely mild air off the near continent around the middle part of the week, certainly for england and wales. and that really will be noticeable around the middle part of the week. i showed you 17—18 degrees possible in the south east. some rain in the north and the west, and then there's signs of it by the end of the week, high pressure building in, which will turn things drier and brighter for all of us.
