local testing is being stepped up in response. the golden globes has kicked off hollywood's award season with a mainly virtual ceremony. the event is underway and being broadcast from two smaller venues, in california and new york, where frontline and essential workers have been invited to be in the audience. the crown has cleaned up, named best television series, chloe zhao was named best motion picture director for nomadland. best actor in a motion picture drama, was posthumously awarded to chadwick boseman. our north america correspondent, peter bowes is in los angeles.

good to see you. so the big awards have now been announced? yes, and just in the last few minutes we got a few more to add to that list. sacha baron cohen winning best performance by a differential or a motion picture musical or comedy for the borat subsequent moviefilm, and one of my personal favourite, andra day the united states vs billie holiday, a film very powerful, just released hair streaming, watched it last night about the life of billie holliday and she has one for best actress, and it's been a few that you've alluded to, some very touching emotional moments in the last hour of this golden globes ceremony and i think posthumously chadwick boseman winning for best actor, and the speech that his wife gave on his behalf, and she said that she really couldn't find the words, she said he would have found the words to thank those that he had been working with and also to, as she put it, to

reach inside of ourselves and to get that ability just to keep ongoing. that is the kind of sentiment that she said he would have betrayed if he'd been able to give that acceptance speech for himself. chloe zhao winning for best director in the many that the golden globes have been going only five women have actually been nominated for best of. this year we have three and chloe zhao winning for nomadland. find three and chloe zhao winning for nomadland.— three and chloe zhao winning for nomadland. and had there been any surprises? _ for nomadland. and had there been any surprises? i - for nomadland. and had there been any surprises? i don't . been any surprises? i don't think there's been any stunning surprises, a lot of the names that i've just mentioned and those that you talked about earlier, those were generally the actors and actresses and directors that we expected would probably be successful on this night. i think a lot of attention clearly has been put on the ceremony itself and the way that they've had this sort of split screen experience, very difficult for the organisers to put on a show thatis organisers to put on a show that is often billed as hollywood's august party. it kicks off the awards season,

just a very sparse audience, no famous celebrities in the audience and reallyjust two studios, los angeles and new york and there were some tricky moments with the technicalities of remote zoom calls, bringing in the winners from different places in the world. i think we are all used to that, i think people will say well, that's ok, that'sjust people will say well, that's ok, that's just the environment that we are living in. i have had some criticism of the show as well, believe it is still going on, they are doing the last couple of categories right now stop it is actually overrunning and for a show that perhaps could have been concert ended a little bit, because of the circumstances, it seemed to drag in certain places and some of the sketches haven't been particularly funny.— particularly funny. that 'ust needs more i particularly funny. that 'ust needs more work�* needs more work for you peter, you will have to give a cross at all but for now, thank you. —— you will have to keep across it all. we start in myanmar where the united nations has condemned the use of lethal force against peaceful protesters.

it's after the bloodiest day of clashes since military leaders seized power four weeks ago. the un human rights office says at least 18 people were killed on sunday and more than 30 injured. our south—east asia correspondentjonathan head has sent this report. and a warning it contains some graphic images. this was the day myanmar�*s army set out to impose its will on a furious population, whatever the cost — notjust tier gas, but live rounds, too. all restraint now abandoned. chanting. a month after the coup, public anger and defiance are still burning bright in myanmar... ..fuelled by the rising toll in dead and injured and by the many hundreds dragged from their homes at night. and still, no sight of aung san suu kyi, the woman they voted for overwhelmingly in an election four months ago. they prepared themselves with home—made shields... ..and put up improvised

barricades to try to stop the police. it was pitifully inadequate for what they were about to face. explosions. in yangon, the police pushed forward in clouds of tear gas. but they were shooting as well. this was nyi nyi aung htet naing, an engineer and a protester, struck by a bullet and carried off through the gunshots for treatment. he did not survive. in the southern town of dawei, two terrified women watched as police — commanded by an army officer — advanced on the protesters, calmly shooting directly into the crowd. at one barricade, a man shouts for people not to run. there are three shots.

some are clearly hit and then dragged away. these were some of the worst clashes of the day. the ambulances kept up a constant relay to and from the hospitals, which were filled with the injured and the dead. these are scenes from myanmar�*s traumatic past that its people had hoped were behind them. much has changed during this country's 10—year experiment with democracy, but not the soldiers, who now run it again and who are still willing to kill to stay in power. jonathan head, bbc news. earlier, i asked human rights lawyer kingsley abbott what he made of the violent scenes in myanmar. as you reported, we saw appalling vision over the weekend of the security forces using lethal force against peaceful protesters, and notjust in a single location but in several places around the country, which tends to suggest

a centralised policy to use lethal force rather than just one or two isolated incidents, and under international law, the situation is clear. live ammunition should never be used to disperse protests and lethal force may only be used to protect life or prevent serious injury. what we are witnessing are extrajudicial killings for which there has to be accountability, and one such avenue we have is the independent investigative mechanism? ~ —— , for myanmar which is monitoring the situation very closely and gathering evidence for future use in legal proceedings around the world. can i take you to a specific case on the legal structures within myanmar? that the case of the de facto elected leader, aung san suu kyi, due to appear in court on monday. what do you know, if anything, about that? aung san suu kyi is facing trumped up charges before a justice system that notoriously lacks independence, impartiality and transparency, and from what we know, she has been charged

with illegally importing she and all those others who have been arbitrarily detained as part of this crackdown following the coup should be released immediately and unconditionally. of course we know, aung san suu kyi is a complex character, and she and the civilian government have very serious questions to face about their own role in numerous rights violations in recent years, but everybody has universal, fundamental human rights that frankly, thankfully don't get simply turned on or off, so she has the right to be free from arbitrary arrest and detention, which is why she needs to be freed immediately without conditions. do you think what we are watching here is the end of this experiment with democracy in the country, an end to the rule of law, or can something be salvaged still with, i don't know, international pressure? we hope it is not and certainly the myanmar people hope it's

not, and a lot of what needs to be done is well known. the question is, whether there is the political will or rather, frankly the political courage to do it. and what we have seen is the most powerful dynamics of change are inside the country in the people themselves, so first of all there needs to be real engagement with the myanmar people on the ground, including influentialfigures in the protest and the civil disobedience movement to ask them, how can we protect you, what do you need? and externally, there needs to be a strong co—ordinated global response, including from china, japan, states should really place all possibilities on the table including consideration of a global arms embargo, targeted sanctions against perpetrators, their assets, and there needs to be a resolution at the the united nations security council implementing these measures and referring myanmar to the international criminal court. to the us now, where donald trump has made his first public appearance since leaving

the white house last month. mr trump told a conference of conservative supporters the journey that started four years ago when he became president is �*far from over�*. he also said he wouldn't be starting his own political party. from orlando, florida, our north america correspondent nick bryant sent this. carnival time in orlando. a trumpian mardi gras. latins for trump! but this also had the feel of a revival meeting, a gathering that suggests that if there is to be a battle for the soul of the republican party, then the former president has the numbers to win. the loser of the 2020 election was greeted like a conquering hero. most people in this crowd still believe he won, and the big question on everyone's lips — will he run again? cheering. who knows? i may even decide to beat them a third time, ok? cheering.

but he hasn't yet declared his candidacy. donald trump has always inspired a near cult—like devotion, and at this conservative conference, they even put a golden idol on display. we're praising donald trump, in thanksgiving for all he's accomplished for this nation, and with god's blessing, he will continue to accomplish, we praise the lord. most conservatives here are hoping for his second coming. making america great again remains an article of faith. his part in the storming of the us capitol isn't even seen as a sin. people really admire him and respect him, and they want to hearfrom him. isn't what happened on january the sixth, and his part in that, disqualifying? no, i don't believe he played any part in the violence at the capitol, and i don't think any of these people do here. what this appearance has shown is that the storming of the us capitol was not a pivotal event, the moment when the republican party decided to reject donald trump and take a different path. less than two months on, it's almost as if january

the sixth never happened. nick bryant, bbc news, florida. featuring heavily in trump's speech was criticism of the democrats and joe biden�*s presidency, but trump also levelled direct attacks at republican lawmakers who voted in favour of his impeachment. he listed them each by name and urged voters to remove them from office. the democrats don't have grandstanders like mitt romney, little ben sass, richard burr, bill cassidy, toomey. and in the house, tom rice, south carolina. adam kinsinger. dan newhouse, anthony

gonzalez — that's another beauty. fred upton, jamie herrera butler. peter meyer, john katco, david validayer, and of course the warmonger, the person who loves seeing our troops fighting, liz cheney, how about that? the good news is, in her state, she has been censured and in her state, her poll numbers have dropped faster than any human being i have ever seen. so hopefully they will get rid of her with the next election. get rid of them all. larry sabato is the director of the university of virginia's center for politics. he leads sabato�*s crystal ball, which analyses political trends and elections in the united states. he says that trump is determined to settle scores within the ranks of the republican party.

there are 17 republicans who voted either in the house or the senate to impeach him or convict him. and a guarantee you he will get his revenge on all 17 of them. some of them won't run for re—election, but he will find another way to get his revenge. the good news for republicans in this speech is he is not going to form another party. and he has seriously talked about that with confidence. that would have destroyed republican hopes for many offices. the bad news for the republicans is it's perfectly obvious after tonight that donald trump is going to be missing in their business every hour of every day all the way to 2024, if not longer. after the storming of the capitol we were promised this reckoning, this existential crisis within the republican party it has got to make a choice, whether to follow trouble go back to more traditional republican values. if this last couple of days is anything to go by that choice

has already been made and it is donald trump all the way. find donald trump all the way. and that is exactly _ donald trump all the way. and that is exactly correct. - donald trump all the way. fific that is exactly correct. they never believed they would turn away from him. some surveys have shown over 80% of republicans are sticking with donald trump, despite 6 january. keep in mind, though, he has lost enormous ground with independence, younger voters, and others. so he can get a nomination, but winning a general election is going to be much tougher. and he's never won the popular vote anyway. that's interesting. given the events of 6january, the storming of the capitol, opinion polls and straw polls from our correspondence on the ground that satan not actually a big factor for people at the conference listening to him speak. how big a factor is it for more centrist conservatives or republicans or nonaffiliated voters in the us? i5 or republicans or nonaffiliated voters in the us? is a or republicans or nonaffiliated voters in the us?— voters in the us? is a very big factor. voters in the us? is a very big factor- you — voters in the us? is a very big factor. you know, _ voters in the us? is a very big factor. you know, the - voters in the us? is a very big factor. you know, the unitedl factor. you know, the united states has never had an

insurrection like this. it's never had an insurrection encouraged by an incumbent president. this is something people will not forget. and there is legal action to come. trump is being investigated in new york, in washington, dc, in georgia after he pressed for additional votes to be found for him. he's got a lot of investigations going on, his taxes. so a lot of is going to happen between now and 2024 that we can't imagine right now. . ., ., , ., now. our thanks to larry sabato there. stay with us on bbc world news. still to come: we'll bring you more from the golden globes, where chadwick boseman wins posthumously for his performance in ma rainey�*s black bottom. first, the plates slid gently off the restaurant tables. then suddenly, the tables, the chairs and people crashed sideways and downwards, and it was just a matter of seconds as the ferry lurched onto her side. the hydrogen bomb.

on a remote pacific atoll, the americans had successfully tested a weapon whose explosive force dwarfed that of the bomb dropped on hiroshima. i had heard the news earlier, and so my heart went bang, bang, bang! the constitutional rights of - these marchers are their rights as citizens of the united i states, and they should be protected even in the right. to test them out, so that they don't get their heads broken and are sent to hospital. - this religious controversy — i know you don't want to say too much about it — but does it worry you that it's going to boil up when you get to the states? well, it worries me, yes, but i hope everything will be all right in the end, as they say. this is bbc world news. the latest headlines:

a violent crackdown by troops in myanmar. at least 18 people are killed in protests against the military coup. six cases of a coronavirus variant which was first detected in brazil have been found in the uk. there's concern the manaus variant may be more transmissible, and less likely to respond to a vaccine, than the original virus. five out of the six cases are linked to travel from brazil. the national medical director for nhs england, professor stephen powis, says the country is well placed to deal with them. we expected to see this, we will see lots of minor variants occurring, and some will have some importance. so it's important that we continue to sequence. the good news in the uk is we have a lot of capacity to sequence samples, therefore get the mutations and the genetic code. we have good contact tracing in place, and the third bit of good news is the new vaccines being used for covid can be adapted very rapidly

so it is very likely that if we do need to change the vaccine, that can be done in months rather than years, which was the case with more traditional vaccines. let's get some of the day's other news. the syrian army says it's destroyed most of a salvo of missiles fired at the damascus area by israel. it said the missiles were tracked coming from the occupied golan heights. it's israel's policy not to comment on such claims. the israeli military has recently stepped up strikes on what it says are iran—linked targets in syria. it aims to reduce tehran�*s military influence in the country. leading british aid agencies are warning that people living in the world's most dangerous and desperate places are facing an unprecedented catastrophe from a combination of conflict and the coronavirus pandemic. an umbrella group, the disasters emergency committee, says falling aid funding is causing charities to reduce life—saving work, just when it is needed to prevent both starvation and

the spread of covid—19. let's get more on the golden globe ceremony that has finished in the last few minutes. let's speak to scott feinberg in los angeles, the awards columnist with the hollywood reporter. thanks so much for coming on the programme. pleasure. thanks for having me. the awards are in. what stood out for you? you know, in. what stood out for you? you know. on _ in. what stood out for you? you know. on the — in. what stood out for you? you know, on the one _ in. what stood out for you? you. know, on the one hand there were some things that were very predictable or not surprising, shall we say. nomadland, the oscarfront window did shall we say. nomadland, the oscar front window did win the top two prizes on the film side, picture and director, but then, as always with these guys, the hollywood foreign press association, there were surprises and things that literally, identity anybody saw

coming, andra day de the star of nomadland, frances mcdormand, along with carey mulligan and by oliver davies and people much more famous, that was among a number of performers, performers of colour who were recognised, which was interesting, because this comes just days after a big expose in the los angeles times noting that the hollywood foreign press association has zero members of colour among its 87 membership and so you wonder, there were still a few days of voting after that, you wonder if they decided to get their act together a little bit and, anyway, it's also winning, daniel kaluuya forjudas and the black messiah, childhood bozeman, the lake chad with bozeman, the lake chad with bozeman —— the late chadwick boseman fortt ma rainey�*s flat bottom. on the tv side there were folks likejohn bottom. on the tv side there were folks like john boyega

reflection of modern day filmmaking and audiences? the roblem filmmaking and audiences? the problem was. — filmmaking and audiences? tue: problem was, the filmmaking and audiences? tte: problem was, the criticisms of the hf pa, at least in the la times article, came out after the nominations had been announced. part of what inspired the los angeles times and others to look more at the hfpa was the fact that none of the black centric films this year, judas and the black messiah, one night in miami, united states versus billie holiday and others, they were not nominated for best picture. it was a little odd that not one of them, especially at the golden globes, there are two best picture categories, five slots for drama and five for musicals and comedies, that is what kind of made people perk up. again, the voting continued after that la times article came out stop it is possible that the hfpa was more aware than they usually are of recognising diverse work. they will have a lot more to deal with after tonight. it is not

the season of the beginning of the season of the beginning of the quiet period by any means. they are underfire the quiet period by any means. they are under fire and very embattled over the last week. to be honest, i've heard quite a bit of reaction tonight that the way they handled it on the show was ok, but very far from enough. show was ok, but very far from enou:h. , ., .., enough. interesting. you can sto me enough. interesting. you can step me and _ enough. interesting. you can stop me and accuse - enough. interesting. you can stop me and accuse me - enough. interesting. you can stop me and accuse me of i enough. interesting. you can i stop me and accuse me of being biased here, but the british seemed to do very well. well, there was _ seemed to do very well. well, there was certainly _ seemed to do very well. well, there was certainly some - seemed to do very well. well, there was certainly some of i there was certainly some of that. i think a lot of people thought carey mulligan would be one of the winners, that would have been a lot of people —— another one in your column. let me look at my notes for a moment, i believe rosamund pike is one of yours, i believe daniel kaluuya... is one of yours, i believe daniel kaluuya. . .- is one of yours, i believe daniel kaluuya. .. sacha baron cohen. daniel kaluuya. .. sacha baron cohen- yes. — daniel kaluuya. .. sacha baron cohen. yes, he _ daniel kaluuya. .. sacha baron cohen. yes, he won _ cohen. yes, he won actually two, both — cohen. yes, he won actually two, both for _ cohen. yes, he won actually two, both for best _ cohen. yes, he won actually two, both for best picture i two, both for best picture musical and comedy for borat subsequent musicalfilm musical and comedy for borat subsequent musical film and his lead actor performance in that —— borat subsequent moviefilm.

they apologised profusely. it was an opportunity to show off. thank you for being on the programme scott feinberg. that's it. you are watching bbc news. bye—bye. hello there. we've got a quiet few days of weather coming up, some sunshine to come, some frosty mornings, a bit of fog around as well, but there's a tendency for the weather to turn a bit cloudier over the next few days and certainly a lot cooler by the end of the week as well. right now, we're seeing some low cloud. some mist and fog patches move in across east anglia. they will continue to spread westwards over the next few hours, into the midlands, central and eastern parts of wales. could be a few fog patches elsewhere. where we keep the clear skies, though, it's going to be cold with some frost, temperatures getting down to about —3 celsius in the very coldest spots, so could be a grey start for quite a few of you but there will be some cloud in scotland probably keeping the worst of the fog at bay here. that cloud will thin and break, with some spells of sunshine coming through later on. and actually, northern ireland should have a decent day too. it's probably across parts of east anglia, the midlands, central and eastern areas

of wales where the low cloud and fog is most likely to linger. and where that happens, well, temperatures might only reach 7 degrees. maybe that's even a bit generous. but for most of the uk, i think we'll see some sunshine and temperatures pushing on into double figures. for tuesday, same area of high pressure still involved in the weather forecast, but we do have a little trough moving up from the south—west. i think for many, it will be a rather grey start to the day on tuesday, with some mist and fog patches, some low cloud as well. there will be some sunshine to come through, particularly across scotland and into north—west england, western parts of wales probably doing quite well as well, but later in the afternoon, we'll start to see that trough thicken the cloud up across the southwest, threatening some patches of rain. that rain could become a little bit more extensive as we head towards wednesday. that is across parts of southern wales and across southern counties of england. could see a little bit of rain just about anywhere. and around some of these eastern coasts, i reckon it's probably going to be quite grey, with the threat of a few patches of drizzle coming in from the north sea from time to time. best of any sunshine more likely across northwestern areas. again, where it stays rather cloudy and grey,

it'll be cool — 5—6 degrees celsius in the south, still relatively mild. that is until thursday and friday, when this area of high—pressure starts to build in. we send northerly winds southwards down the north sea, and that ultimately will bring much cooler weather to all parts of the uk. so towards the end of the week, quite a bit of cloud on thursday, temperatures around 6—8 celsius. friday, probably a little bit brighter, a little bit more sunshine.

this is bbc news,

the headlines: the golden globe awards have been handed out in a largely virtual ceremony split between los angeles and new york. the netflix drama the crown — about the british royal family won the best tv drama series, while sacha baron cohen won best comedy actor for borat subsequent moviefilm. a violent crackdown by troops in myanmar has left at least 18 people dead and 30 injured in protests against the military. the united nations has condemned the use of lethal force against peaceful protesters after the bloodiest day of clashes since military leaders seized power four weeks ago. and donald trump's given his first speech since leaving the white house. mr trump told a conference of conservative supporters in florida that the journey, begun four years ago when he became president, was �*farfrom over�*, but also rejected reports that he would be forming a new political party. now on bbc news, it's hardtalk.
