is where the search will begin. the agulhas ii is the icebreaker taking on that challenge. underwater robots kitted out with sonar and cameras will hunt for the wreck 3,000 metres down. the hope is it's well preserved by the icy water. shackleton�*s expedition diary was saved before the endurance sank. "she went today, 5pm. she went down by the head. the stern, the cause of all the trouble, was the last to go underwater. i cannot write about it." you can read about how it was creaking. they talk to her, talk about her as a personality. there's this real kind of sense of how crushed they were when the ship was crushed and sank as well. the endurance crew travelled for hundreds of miles to get to safety. miraculously, they all survived. but the ship that had been their home is still silently

waiting to be discovered. rebecca morelle, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... downing street insists borisjohnson is still in control after another tory mp calls on him to go, and the resignation of a fifth downing st adviser. a spectacle in beijing to mark the opening of the winter olympics — but fewer world leaders attend because of claims of human rights abuses by president xi's government. a court orders checks on food and agricultural goods from britain to northern ireland must continue for now. now on bbc news, it's time for newswatch. hello, and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. bbc three is back on tv — can its new show, the catch up,

persuade young adults back into watching news bulletins? enough colleagues to rescue your premiership... and guess what the subject was at the first question to the prime minister at this press conference in ukraine? in the face of strong protests, bbc three disappeared as a broadcast channel in 2016, though it continued to exist online. bbc bosses said it was to save money. this week, keen to ensure that 16—34—year—olds didn't lose forever the habit of watching scheduled television, the bbc brought it back on air. and, although entertainment and comedy predominate, the channel has a nightly three—minute news bulletin, the catch up. here's the start of the first edition on tuesday. hey, i'm levi with the catch up. tonight — sue gray's report, the latest on ukraine, and lunar new year.

but first, the man united striker mason greenwood has been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill. and the editor of the catch up, amanda goodman, joins me now. thank you so much for coming on newswatch, amanda. what's the brief for the programme? so, our target audience is 16—24—year—olds — and that's the very lightest news users, and mostly people outside london. so we were looking to create something which, in look and feel, felt like the kind of content they were consuming on social media. so, kind of, very graphical, very relaxed, very informal, and also informative. so we want to help them feel confident about talking about the news, kind of, break down some of the difficult subjects, but in a relaxed, kind of, relatable way. 0n the original bbc three, there was, i think there was a 60—second news service. now you've got this three

minutes on the catch up, you know, each night. can you realistically cover stories as complex as, say, ukraine in such a short bulletin? well, some of the bulletins are two minutes, actually. so it is a challenge, but i think in development, we found that the key is not to try and race through too many stories. so, to take a couple of stories and kind of break them down. kind of, what's the story? why does it matter? why is it happening? and not assume too much knowledge, to use graphics to help kind of explain, then signpost to other kind of areas of the bbc if they want to know more. so it's just an opportunity, then, for them to dig deeper if they want to. i think it's fair to say no one would be turning on bbc three for the news, will they? so is it really something that the regulator 0fcom is making you do? yeah, it is a requirement of 0fcom, but i mean, it's important for the bbc anyway, because you know this, this audience that we have maybe will be coming off the back of kind

of rupaul�*s drag race, or we're at half time and the africa cup of nations. so we're picking up a hard—to—reach audience for news. so we're kind of getting to them by stealth and hoping that, you know, they'll stumble across us, and actually, we'll be a good add—on, tell them something they didn't know and then, you know, bring people back into news and make a kind of lifelong habit, hopefully. i love that stumbling onto it because it moves around, doesn't it, in the schedule? it does, yeah. younger viewers, i think it's fair to say, have generally been deserting traditional broadcast news bulletins in droves over the last few years. and i wonder if you think you can really persuade a generation that really does get its news mostly online, usually social media, to sit down and watch on a on a regular basis. do you think that move will ever happen? actually, the evidence is that especially outside london, people are still watching linear tv, and they do kick back in the evening, put their legs up and watch the telly. and we also know that they are interested in news and they're sharing these stories.

so we need to be where the audience is — so the combination of both, if we're there where they are, and giving them what they want to hear and what, what they want to see, then it's a winner. you have got a regular good news section at the end of each bulletin. what was the thinking behind that? so, you know, we know that young people are really interested in mental health, and that they want a, kind of, mix of news and also inspirational stories, and uplifting content. our focus groups told us really strongly that they wanted that. so we decided not to make it accidental, but to make it a feature. and at the end of every bulletin, we've got what we call "ten seconds of," and it's something uplifting. so it might be ten seconds of wonder, ten seconds of calm, or ten seconds of fabulousness. so just to leave them with like a really fantastic moment. amanda goodman, thank you very much for coming on newswatch. absolute pleasure. and we should say that any i6—24—year—olds watching we would love to hear from you and what you think

of the catch up and, indeed, any bbc news content. now, it's been hard to get away this week from those allegations of lockdown gatherings at downing street. over the past few days, several bbc news bulletins and hours of continuous news were again presented from outside number ten. on tuesday morning, it was victoria derbyshire, stationed there for the news channel, conducting an interview down the line with conservative mp shailesh vara, when she got distracted by some activity behind her. there were plenty of occasions where he was there, because he was actually at the party. how did that happen in the middle of a pandemic? tell me — people don't understand. victoria, the prime minister has said... inaudible. ..at parliament nearly three weeks ago, he said that, as far as the event of 20th... i'm sorry, mr vara. he did say... mr dowden, will you speak to us, please, on bbc news?

therese coffey, will you have a word with us, please? mr raab, can you come and talk to us here on bbc news, please? mrs coffey, are you going to talk to us? mr eustice, would you like to talk to us? sorry about that, mr vara. that's all right, i'm sorry you're stuck with me instead of members of the cabinet. no, no, no, don't, we're grateful for your time, of course. i'm really sorry, but i might interrupt again. and she did interrupt again, when talking to her next interviewee, jill rutter. reminiscent of what we're told i was heard in the prime minister's flat, maybe it's still the same cd. but no, i don't think- it was a party culture, then... mr rees—mogg, will you come and talk to us here on bbc news? please — come on, today, you know you want to. ok, i'm so sorry, jill rutter, that's the last time i'm going to interrupt anybody. despite the apologies, several newswatch viewers were angry about what they saw. here's paul williams...

that evening, the location changed from downing street to kyiv — where borisjohnson had been holding talks with the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, about the threat posed by the build—up of russian troops on its border. but, had the subject matter changed, too? well, let's see what was said after the two leaders had spoken at a press conference following their meeting. translation: thank you to colleagues, journalists. - the prime minister and the president are prepared to answer a couple of questions.

bbc, please. just wait for your mic. good afternoon, gentlemen. prime ministerfirst — have you done enough to survive? have you done enough to persuade enough colleagues to rescue your premiership? and, on the issue of ukraine, why should the international community take your diplomacy seriously when you're so preoccupied at home? several newswatch viewers were highly unimpressed by that. one of them was david lewis, and he recorded this video to explain why. with the world apparently on the brink of war between russia and ukraine, did the bbc's correspondent james landale really feel it appropriate to open his questioning of the prime minister at his news conference with the president of ukraine, with questions around the prime minister's difficulties in westminster and, in particular, the issues around partygate? not only was it incredibly disrespectful to the prime minister on a world stage, but it was,

in my view, incredibly embarrassing for our country. i felt it to be completely inappropriate, and personally, i would like to see james landale make a public apology. well, we put those points to bbc news, and they told us... back at home, interviews about sue gray's update were being given by some of the prime minister's supporters — including an appearance by the culture secretary, nadine dorries, on channel 4 news. her performance was mocked by rory stewart, a former conservative minister — but now no longer a member of the party. he tweeted. ..

that post was then retweeted by newsnight presenter emily maitlis, prompting complaints, such as this from molly giles... emily maitlis took to twitter again, reposting the original message from rory stewart and writing... she later added... it's not the first time emily maitlis has got into trouble for sharing posts on social media — and reaction was divided. andyjohnstone was supportive, writing... but alfred disagreed...

thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see, read, or hear on bbc news on tv, radio, online, and social media, email newswatch@bbc.co.uk, or you can find us on twitter at @newswatchbbc. you can call us on... and do have a look at our website for previous interviews, bbc.co.uk/newswatch. that's all from us. we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. good evening. it's felt much colder for most today, despite the sunshine, and wintry showers will continue as we go through this evening and overnight, particularly across scotland, potentially even at lower levels here. the wind eases off for a time, but under the clearing skies, a widespread frost will develop. and that frost after the rain and the sleet of the morning and the showers mean the risk

of ice is high. there's some warnings out, particularly in the north. but by morning, we're starting to see the approach of a weather front, which will initially give some more snowfall. but then it's milder air coming in off the atlantic on a strengthening wind, gales in the north, and that will push that cold air out of the way. driest and brightest for longest in southern and eastern areas, perhaps until after dark here. brightening up with a few wintry showers towards the north. but temperatures, they are a little higher than those of today, but i still think it'll feel cold because of the cloud, the rain and that wind, which will again be a feature of the weather on sunday, eventually blowing the rain out of the way in the south, but plenty more showers will follow.

this is bbc news the headlines the winter olympics open in beijing ending chinese pride and international controversy. the president of china and russia meet ahead of the opening ceremony as the two countries move closer together in the face of western pressure and pledged to oppose further needs... downing street insists borisjohnson is still in control — after another conservative mp calls on him to go — and the resignation of a fifth senior adviser. emergency workers in morocco say they are hopeful they'll soon reach a five year old boy who's been trapped for four days in a deep well. this is the scene live —

where huge crowds have gathered — hoping for a positive outcome.
