the former us vice—president mike pence has said he could not have overturned the result of the 2020 presidential election — his strongest rebuttal so far of claims by donald trump. mr pence said it was "un—american" to think that any one person could choose the president. ahead of the opening ceremony of the winter olympics, china's president, xijinping, met his russian counterpart vladimir putin and gave his support to moscow's security and foreign policy aims. the official opening in beijing was toned down due to covid restrictions. emergency workers in morocco say they're hopeful that they'll reach a five—year—old boy trapped for four days in a deep well. the child, who's called rayan, slid more than 30 metres into the narrow shaft on tuesday while his father was repairing it. coming up at 6 o'clock,

hello and welcome to bethnal green in the heart of london's east end. if you are looking for proper cockney london, this isn't far from the real deal, and waiting just over there, calling out to me is a proper, traditional great british fry up. for, though, believe the traditional english breakfast may have had its chips. more on that later. first though: we are in the austrian alps. at a ski resort that became one of europe was my first covid hotspots back at the beginning of 2020. almost two years on, and ischgl is cautiously reopening the business. we have been there to find out how things are going.

what makes ischgl special? the area is like, awesome, there is so much space, so much fun, and you have so many options to... to do crazy things. in the wintertime, when the sun is shining, i will be up here for snowboarding. how the season was this year, and how busy, it is still a kind of busy but it is still a kind of busy but it is a little bit lower, more relaxed. the skiing, it is so good because most of the time you have two feel —— have the feeling you are really alone up on the mountains.

not so long ago, ischgl was best known as the ibiza of the alps, as famous for its dazzling apres ski scene as its 240 kilometres of pistes. but in early 2020, as covid began to arrive in europe, the authorities he was slow to respond. —— authorities here were slow to respond. several days pass between the first positive test and ischgl�*s bars being ordered to close on 10 march. and, on friday 13 march the austrian chancellor sebastien kurtz ordered the lockdown, warning tourists that if they didn't leave immediately, they would have to quarantine at the resort. the result was pandemonium, as people fled to catch a flight home. more than 6000 tourists, from nearly 50 countries, say they caught coronavirus in

ischgl, going on to spread the virus across the continent and beyond. and so, this small alpine community, was labelled the super spreader resort. before the lockdown, it was reported staff at one bar had continued to turn up to work, despite displaying the flulike symptoms that came to be associated with covid. in the beginning — associated with covid. in the beginning of— associated with covid. in the beginning of february - associated with covid. in the beginning of february and i associated with covid. in the i beginning of february and march there is the flu season, and everyone is kind of ill, everyone is kind of ill, everyone has a wet nose, everyone has a wet nose, everyone has a wet nose, everyone has symptoms, headache, and so for us it was the reason for the illness was because of the flu season. most of bernard's _ because of the flu season. most of bernard's team went - because of the flu season. most of bernard's team went on i because of the flu season. most of bernard's team went on to i of bernard's team went on to test positive for coronavirus. when he was quarantining, he saw reports about the bar spread worldwide. it saw reports about the bar spread worldwide.- saw reports about the bar spread worldwide. it was yeah, surreal. spread worldwide. it was yeah, surreal- of _ spread worldwide. it was yeah, surreal. of course _ spread worldwide. it was yeah, surreal. of course it _ spread worldwide. it was yeah, surreal. of course it must i spread worldwide. it was yeah, surreal. of course it must be . surreal. of course it must be that even people he had got infected and i am very sorry about that, and we were not

able to do anything different because we had no safety measures which were at this time available, so we had no possibilities for any tests or controlling vaccination at the entrance. controlling vaccination at the entrance-— controlling vaccination at the entrance. �* ., , entrance. the bar didn't reopen aaain entrance. the bar didn't reopen again until _ entrance. the bar didn't reopen again until this _ entrance. the bar didn't reopen again until this past _ entrance. the bar didn't reopen again until this past december. | again until this past december. this is the first ski season in ischgl since the pandemic began. 54,000 ski passes were sold in december, after it opened on the 14th. that is only a modest drop in numbers since the last time the slopes were open here in 2019. the season is — were open here in 2019. the season is fine _ were open here in 2019. the season is fine so _ were open here in 2019. the season is fine so far, - were open here in 2019. tue: season is fine so far, we were open here in 2019. tte: season is fine so far, we are happy we are able to welcome guests again from all over the world. at the moment we have the ability for 120 customers, normally guests are coming inside and having a drink and standing, that is not possible at the moment so we are 50% capacity to regular—season. we are controlling every guest, so he needs to show his covid status, vaccination or a valid healing from corona. and furthermore, it is necessary to

with our people. —— in deeper. —— ibiza. i personally feel that before covid we had a very creative transition in the alps. hotel owners trying to involve new topics in the alps, arts, music, events, and all that completely died. so i think we have to be optimistic, but we are in a very, very difficult situation, because one of the venues and clubs and and clubs in austria, we don't have one in summertime, so this is when we need a strong winter. i think what we need is a perspective, a running dateline where we see hey, if this all that happens, if we bring the cases down to that point, we can open the club, and i am hoping, and i am still quite positive that we might have a spring season with a little bit more freedom. this ski season. _

find lots of well looked after tracks in the west of the country. 15 kilometre loop is that up so you can even go after dark. perfect for those short, winter days. just remember to wrap up warm. for a less family friendly trip, a specialist tour operator in japan has created a bucket list adventure. this four—day trip takes you across the backcountry of hokkaido, traversing dormant volcanoes and the steep open faces of the mountain. if the weather is in your favour you mountain. if the weather is in yourfavour you may mountain. if the weather is in your favour you may even get to ride into its crater. it is not cheap though—5 days will set you back about 3700 us dollars, but that does include a private guide and a hotjohnson at the end of each day. —— onsen. and if you are more of a thrillseeker, how about

helicopter skiing? this adrenaline is what has quite literally taken off. for a long time it was pretty much only possible in north america, but for the last two decades, it has been possible to fly from a small mountain village in eastern turkey up into the pontic alps. the trips only take 20 people, and with 5000 square kilometres of slopes to explore, there is no shortage of fresh powder. with all that space, it is a great way to keep socially distance while taking in some mega views. right. stay with us, because still to come: how to navigate an airport when i guide dog sees for you. t an airport when i guide dog sees for you.— an airport when i guide dog sees for you. i think the main challenge _ sees for you. i think the main challenge will— sees for you. i think the main challenge will be _ sees for you. i think the main challenge will be getting i sees for you. i think the main challenge will be getting up l challenge will be getting up the steps and the loud noises of the aircraft.— of the aircraft. and why fans of the aircraft. and why fans ofthe of the aircraft. and why fans of the great _ of the aircraft. and why fans of the great british - of the aircraft. and why fans of the great british fry i of the aircraft. and why fans of the great british fry up i of the great british fry up fearfor of the great british fry up fear for its future.-

hello there. snow was a feature of the weather for some parts of the uk on friday, and it continues to feature as part of what is actually quite a varied weekend weather menu. snow and ice continuing to be an issue, particularly in scotland. elsewhere, some rain at times, some brisk winds, but there will also be some spells of sunshine. the big weather maker for the weekend is this weather front extending all the way from north america across the atlantic towards our shores. this front will bring some outbreaks of rain. there will be some quite strong winds, but also this front dividing cold air which will be returning from the north from this mild air, staging a temporary comeback down towards the south. so this is how

saturday shapes up. a touch of frost for some to start off. dry to start for much of england and wales, but you can see this wet weather on the move southwards as the day wears on. some particularly heavy bursts of rain developing over hills in the west. the south of england likely to stay dry for a good part of the day. northern scotland brightening up, but with some increasingly frequent snow showers and a windy day for all. those are the gusts — gusts of 40, 50 or maybe 60 mph in exposed places in northern scotland. afternoon temperatures — well, quite a range. three there for stornoway, ten for london, for plymouth and st helier. through saturday night, our weather front continues to journey southwards. across northern ireland, it will cling on for a good part of the night, i think. certainly some wet weather crossing england and wales. for scotland, frequent snow showers. we could see up to 15 cm of snow accumulating over high ground. a mild night in the south, a colder one further north. and then we look ahead to sunday. well, this rain could well drag its heels. it could actually turn heavy for a time on sunday morning, and it may struggle to clear the south of england. but elsewhere, we should see some spells of sunshine through the day.

showers continuing, snow showers across high grounds in scotland, but those showers even wintry to quite low levels. strongest winds at this stage could well be down towards the south, with gales likely through the channel. and temperature — again, quite a range. four in the north, nine or ten further south, maybe 11 for the channel islands. now, as we head into the start of the new week, an area of high pressure not too far away, trying to build its way northwards. a weak frontal system but it is a warm front, so that will bring some milder air returning from the west. so quite a mild start to the new week. we will see some rain at times, but particularly the further south you are, the week should start on a mostly dry note.
