this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. thousands of supporters of the former president of brazil, jair bolsonaro, have stormed the country's national congress in brasilia. they've clashed with police, who used tear gas in an attempt to repel them. i don't think they express the sentiments of the majority of the brazilians. the majority that voted and that respected the results. but they are a very radicalised. president biden has arrived in texas to visit the us border with mexico for the first time since taking office. record numbers of migrants have

crossed over recently. the uk prime minister, rishi sunak, says the government will discuss a pay deal that's "affordable" with the nurses�* union to settle strikes. that's welcomed by the biggest nursing union as "a chink of optimism". there've been emotional reunions at airports in china after the country fully reopened its borders for the first time since the start of the pandemic, nearly three years ago. hello and welcome, thank you for joining us. thousands of supporters of the former brazilian president, jair bolsonaro, have stormed the country's national congress in brasilia. in scenes reminiscent of the attack on the us congress in washington two years ago, demonstrators wrapped in the brazilian flag quickly overwhelmed police and entered the complex. some have reached the senate chamber, where theyjumped onto seats and desks.

protesters have also invaded the presidential palace and supreme court. mr bolsonaro lost the october election to the socialist, luis inacio lula da silva, who was sworn in last week. mr bolsonaro's supporters have been calling for military intervention and the resignation of mr lula da silva. we can see here president lula is making a live address at the moment. he has declared a federal intervention in brasilia. let's talk more about this story now and cross live to sao paulo, where we can speak to journalist euan marshall. he is editor of the brazilian report. as someone who has obviously been watching and following politics in brazil, has this moment, as a surprise to you?— in brazil, has this moment, as a surprise to you? good evening, first of all. it surprise to you? good evening, first of all- it is — surprise to you? good evening, first of all. it is somewhat _ surprise to you? good evening, first of all. it is somewhat of _ surprise to you? good evening, first

of all. it is somewhat of a _ of all. it is somewhat of a surprise, i think, just for the way that it happened today, it seemed quite all of a sudden, but the idea that there is some sort of violent storming of government buildings of brasilia has been on the cards for quite awhile now. there have been open threats made pro—bolsonaro activists that they would want to do exactly that, which means that, you know, it adds to the surprise were today in terms of the police presence that we saw at brasilia just really didn't seem to be the police presence of a capital that potentially expected something like this to happen. there was hardly any law enforcement on the street, the police barricades were easily overthrown by these bolsonaro supporters and it isn'tjust a bit of a mess right now. bud supporters and it isn't 'ust a bit of a mess right now._ supporters and it isn't 'ust a bit of a mess right now. and what is our of a mess right now. and what is your sense _ of a mess right now. and what is your sense of — of a mess right now. and what is your sense of why _ of a mess right now. and what is your sense of why this _ of a mess right now. and what is your sense of why this is - of a mess right now. and what is i your sense of why this is happening now? this is a week after the new president has been sworn in. yes. now? this is a week after the new president has been sworn in. yes, it is interesting _ president has been sworn in. yes, it is interesting because _ president has been sworn in. yes, it

is interesting because of— president has been sworn in. yes, it is interesting because of course - president has been sworn in. yes, it is interesting because of course the | is interesting because of course the comparisons with the january six capitol riots in the us are obviously there, but this is hugely different. i mean, there is no direct objective to try to stop lula from taking power because he already has taken power and also today is a sunday and congress and the supreme court are all in recess at the moment, so they are not working, the buildings are largely empty. so, you know, there is... the motivation of this kind of attack is quite strange, especially considering the negative repercussions that this is going to have, not only in brazil, but around the world, i think. find but around the world, i think. and jair bolsonaro. — but around the world, i think. and jair bolsonaro, i— but around the world, i think. and jair bolsonaro, i understand, is in florida. what role is he playing in all this because have we heard anything? all this because have we heard an hinu ? ~ , . all this because have we heard an hin? ~ , . . ., anything? well, since the election at the end of— anything? well, since the election at the end of october, _ anything? well, since the election at the end of october, when - at the end of october, when bolsonaro lost to lula by a razor—thin margin, bolsonaro has remained quite quiet about the

election results. he hasn't officially even conceded the election result. but at the same time, he has tried to maintain some sort of distance from the pro—bolsonaro protesters that have been on the street and the one storming the government buildings today. he hasn't outright kind of endorsed their actions. he has made some gestures towards them, supporting them implicitly, but he hasn't taken a really active role in this, assuming i am because these are anti—democratic protests and if he does he could face criminal responsibility. i he does he could face criminal responsibility.— he does he could face criminal resonsibili . ., ,., , ., , responsibility. i mean, some people watchin: responsibility. i mean, some people watching might _ responsibility. i mean, some people watching might see _ responsibility. i mean, some people watching might see some _ responsibility. i mean, some people i watching might see some comparisons there with how president trump handled the storming of the congress. ijust wonder handled the storming of the congress. i just wonder what you make of how these events are unfolding and how you think the government will respond. we obviously heard from president lula talking bear about bringing in some measures to respond to this, but what do you think might happen next?

well, it is interesting because we have heard from some bolsonaro allies, or at least previous bolsonaro allies, but this does not represent the, that the protest is not what they have in mind and it might actually offer quite a good opportunity for lula as an incoming president, he can basically have all of the parties in congress together condemning what happened today and potentially banding around, behind him and giving him some support for the start of his term. i don't think this looks good at all for these bolsonaro supporters, especially the bolsonaro supporters, especially the bolsonaro supporters, especially the bolsonaro supporters involved in these events. there is likely to be a major criminal repercussions for them and yes, it could even work to lula's favour, but that is what we are going to have to see over the next days and weeks because things are still very fast moving here at the remote. are still very fast moving here at the remote-— the remote. yes, things are certainly — the remote. yes, things are certainly still _ the remote. yes, things are certainly still moving - the remote. yes, things are certainly still moving very . the remote. yes, things are i certainly still moving very fast, but looking at some of the pictures that you have seen what has been happening, i mean, is there a sense

that this was organised? because we have heard some people tell us on this programme that there were suggestions that something like this could happen. how well—organised is this protest or this movement actually seem?— this protest or this movement actuall seem? ~ ., , actually seem? well, one interesting iece of actually seem? well, one interesting piece of information _ actually seem? well, one interesting piece of information is _ actually seem? well, one interesting piece of information is that _ actually seem? well, one interesting piece of information is that over - piece of information is that over 100 coaches carrying bolsonaro supporters arrived in brasilia this weekend. so, you know, that is already showing a kind of a sense of organisation, that there was going to be some sort of large—scale protest. i think the actual storming of these buildings took a lot of people by surprise, but, you know, the way that these things are orchestrated is usually by messaging apps. where you have got lots of these disparate groups who kind of orchestrate and organise these protests, so it is quite hard to keep up with and know exactly who is behind it, but i'm sure all of that will be investigated in the coming weeks and months because this is just caused such a massive scandal in brazil and of course something

has to be done.— in brazil and of course something has to be done. we'll certainly be talkin: has to be done. we'll certainly be talking about _ has to be done. we'll certainly be talking about this _ has to be done. we'll certainly be talking about this to _ has to be done. we'll certainly be talking about this to a _ has to be done. we'll certainly be talking about this to a long - has to be done. we'll certainly be talking about this to a long time. | talking about this to a long time. thank you very much, euan marshall, for talking to today. euan marshall is editor of the brazilian report, thank you. let's take a closer look at where this is happening. bolsonaro's supporters are in brazil's capital, brasilia. demonstrators overwhelmed police and entered the national congress complex. other protestors have invaded the presidential palace, supreme court and some ministry buildings. senior politicians in brazil have denounced the actions of bolsonaro's supporters. the brazilian senator randolfe rodrigues tweeted saying... the president of brazil's national congress rodrigo pacheco said...

the governor of brasilia's federal district, ibaneis rocha, said on twitter... and brazil's minister of planning, simone tebet, who serves in lula's cabinet said... to some of the reactions that have been coming on twitter. joining me now from sao paulo is our south america correspondent, katy watson. thank you very much for coming up. we have been talking bear about some of the things that have underpinned today's events, talk about what has actually happened today. can you walk us through the events? weill.

actually happened today. can you walk us through the events? well, a lot of the scenes _ walk us through the events? well, a lot of the scenes we _ walk us through the events? well, a lot of the scenes we have _ walk us through the events? well, a lot of the scenes we have been - lot of the scenes we have been seeing coming out of brasilia are very reminiscent of what we saw on january the 6th in the us capitol. jair bolsonaro is a man whose nickname is trump of the tropics. for many people, this is seen as straight out of the trump playbook. there were scenes of the crowds pulling a mounted policeman off his horse, windows and doors being broken to access congress, tear gas being fired. i mean, scenes of chaos and scenes that many people feared would happen, ever since lula won the elections in october. but yet never actually came to pass and i think that is what is so worrying about the events we have seen. we sawjust about the events we have seen. we saw just a week about the events we have seen. we sawjust a week ago lula was sworn in and at that point there were supporters, hardline supporters of jair bolsonaro who were cleared away

from the centre of brasilia and it was an event that passed off without, in peace, without any aggression or any confrontation. and, you know, perhaps there was a feeling that that issue, although was still latent, in terms of something more severe had gone away, but clearly what we are seeing now, those people are back, those people are back with a vengeance and this is something we are seeing in brasilia, but you have to remember that ever since the elections in october, there have been far right supporters ofjair october, there have been far right supporters of jair bolsonaro, who have been camped out in military barracks across the country, so this is notjust something we have seen in brasilia of the supporters. and people who are very anti—lula coming back to power have been across the country, notjust in the capital. yes, an important point that you make there, but it was a very close election in the end. but we just heard from president da silva. he

has introduced what he calls a federal intervention. he was speaking at a press conference a short while ago and has just finished, i understand. short while ago and has just finished, iunderstand. do short while ago and has just finished, i understand. do we know what that means, what that looks like? i what that means, what that looks like? ~ ., y what that means, what that looks like? ~ ., , ., ., like? i know very little, apart from i think it like? i know very little, apart from i think it is — like? i know very little, apart from i think it is going _ like? i know very little, apart from i think it is going to _ like? i know very little, apart from i think it is going to extend - like? i know very little, apart from i think it is going to extend for - i think it is going to extend for the whole of the month of january. he is actually out of the capital, he is on an official visit here in sao paulo state, but clearly there have been dramatic measures that need to be introduced. this is something that i think, what is worth pointing out is does notjust about people who are angry that jair bolsonaro lost. they are angry that lula one. yes, it was a very close race race. lula wonjust over lula one. yes, it was a very close race race. lula won just over half of the votes, so just under half of those people who voted did not want lula back in any way, they see him as a corrupt politician who has spent time in jail. as a corrupt politician who has spent time injail. those charges have been annulled, but that isn't something that will not convince the

people who do not want to see him, we want to see him back in prison and not in the presidential palace and not in the presidential palace and there are strong protesters who he has to contend with and that is just what we are seeing in brasilia, but shows the deep divide here in brazil and the huge challenge that lula has to try and win these people over and prove that he is a leader and a leader to everybody and i think that is going to be the ultimate challenge for lula because this is such a divided country. find this is such a divided country. and we continue _ this is such a divided country. and we continue to _ this is such a divided country. and we continue to watch those events. thank you very much, katy watson, forjoining us and bringing in some of that detail. we appreciate you joining us. joining me now is our washington correspondent, david willis. david, the comparisons are very difficult to miss between what happened in washington where you are two years ago and what is happening in brazil. ~ , ,., , ., ., , in brazil. absolutely, and it was onl a

in brazil. absolutely, and it was only a couple — in brazil. absolutely, and it was only a couple of— in brazil. absolutely, and it was only a couple of days _ in brazil. absolutely, and it was only a couple of days ago - in brazil. absolutely, and it was only a couple of days ago of - in brazil. absolutely, and it was i only a couple of days ago of course that president biden was giving out presidential medals to people who had suffered particularly on that fateful day just over two years had suffered particularly on that fateful dayjust over two years ago, when there was that insurrection, deadly insurrection at the us capitol building, which claimed the lives of several police officers and of course wreaked havoc, protesters wreaking havoc throughout the capitol complex. it was all very eerily reminiscent, what we have been seeing on the television over the last few hours, or the last few minutes, at least, we have seen pictures of a protester in an official chair bearing the government building, we have seen clouds of tear gas and general chaos, the sort of seems that people here witnessed and were hoping they would never get to witness again here in washington, dc. just as katy watson was saying, jair bolsonaro has whipped up support amongst his

followers in the belief that this election was stolen, that there were problems with electronic voting machines. there is no evidence to suggest that that is, in fact, accurate, and as katy watson was saying, they gave him the nickname the trump of the tropics, but there was more to it than right—wing policy, there were also advisers. steve bannon, the former white house chief of staff, was among jair bolsonaro's advisors at one point, and, you know, it really is extremely eerie seeing those scenes played out there in the capital, brasilia, comingjust played out there in the capital, brasilia, coming just a couple of days after the second anniversary of the uprising here in washington, dc. duties. david willis, joining us from washington, dc, thank you very much. —— indeed it is. president biden is in texas for his first visit to the us

southern border with mexico since taking office. he's meeting officials in el paso for discussions about the record numbers of migrants and asylum seekers there. the president has faced criticism from border patrol officials because of his relaxation of former president trump's strict border policies. for the first time in nearly three years, china has lifted quarantine rules for people arriving from abroad. it's the final step in the government's dismantling of its zero—covid policies. the abrupt change has driven a rapid rise in coronavirus cases and has prompted other countries to impose restrictions on chinese tourists. so let's take a look at some of those who want reassurance before travellers from china arrive on their shores. the united states and the uk are introducing compulsory pre—flight covid—19 tests. india wants proof of a negative covid—19 test no more than 72 hours prior to departure for those arriving from china, hong kong, as well as those arriving from japan, south korea, singapore and thailand.

south korea will impose testing before and after arriving in the country, as well as restricting the issue of short—term visas for chinese nationals. japan and italy require testing upon arrival and quarantine for those who test positive. malaysia says it will begin screening all inbound travellers from china and elsewhere for fever. australia, canada, france, spain and several other countries are all imposing some kind of covid testing or vaccination requirements. our correspondent, martin yip, sent us this report. time to go home, finally. here at the hong kong checkpoint, travellers came streaming on again this sunday morning heading for the western guandong province in mainland china. the crowd is much smaller in size than before, but still lively after almost three years of covid restrictions. even though the risk of catching covid is still high. translation: i'm pretty excited.

it's easier to head home now. i booked my shuttle bus ticket right away to go see my family there. the outbreak in mainland china has been going on for months, but i'm a bit worried because i have never got covid before. and the bridge checkpoint is just one of them. more people have taken the metro train heading to the north of the border. hong kong's leader is eager to check how things are going. at present, up to 50,000 can cross the border daily, but he promises to discuss fully reopening the border with his mainland china counterparts. for some, the reopening is way too quick. china says it is still in control. translation: downgrading covid does i not mean letting it out of control. i rather, we have been more scientific, targeted and efficient in our response. we can do better in coordinating pandemic response and socioeconomic development.

people are still wondering how rapid china is de—escalating all these measures, you could take a look at the other side of this bridge. macau, the only place in china you can legally gamble in a casino, is treating covid as an endemic disease this morning, meaning if you get it you don't need to report yourself to the authorities any more. it is more like cold and flu. add in mainland china, no criminal charges will be pressed any more for those breaching lockdown measures. in hong kong, you still need to wear a facemask. for now, reuniting with loved ones might be the only thought in these travellers�* minds. health authorities have warned rural clinics to prepare for any possible outbreak and they will have to hold the fort for a0 days.

martin yip, bbc news, hong kong. olly foster now has the sport. many thanks indeed, nancy. we've had eight fa cup ties and we've had the biggest upset of the third round. league two stevenage were trailing with two minutes left on the clock, but won 2—1 against premier league side aston villa. villa have now been knocked out for the seventh time in a row at this stage. they were so close to winning, but substitute dean campbell was pulled down for a late penalty which was duly dispatched by jamie reid. while villa park was still reeling from that equaliser, campbell was given the time and space to send stevenage into the fourth round, and send the visiting supporters into raptures. it is really special. i think it is probably the chairman just said to me the greatest day in his life and he has been at the club for 26, 27 years. a fantastic day for the town. but we will not kid ourselves, this

is a fantastic football club, we enjoy the moment, these guys have their own great days and it has been fantastic since we walked into the building today and we will now be humble and get on with theirjobs. today. —— with ourjobs for saturday. three days after manchester city beat chelsea in the premier league, they've now knocked them out of the cup. it was all over by half—time, really. riyad mahrez, who scored the winner on thursday night, opened the scoring with a brilliant free kick. chelsea forward kai havertz then gave away a penalty with this handball inside the box. world cup winnerjulian alvarez scored from the spot even though kepa got a hand to it, and after a lovely flowing move, phil foden was on hand to add a third by the break. mahrez then added a fourth from the penalty spot. that sealed the victory, send them

through to the fourth round. ida. that sealed the victory, send them through to the fourth round. ha. i through to the fourth round. no, i think it is good _ through to the fourth round. no, i think it is good to _ through to the fourth round. no, i think it is good to have _ through to the fourth round. iirr, i think it is good to have played like the way we played and just to score four goals and keep a clean sheet is a good day for us, yes. let’s four goals and keep a clean sheet is a good day for us, yes.— a good day for us, yes. let's start b talkin: a good day for us, yes. let's start by talking about _ a good day for us, yes. let's start by talking about that _ a good day for us, yes. let's start by talking about that free - a good day for us, yes. let's start by talking about that free kick i a good day for us, yes. let's start| by talking about that free kick that opened the scoring because that was special, wasn't it? to opened the scoring because that was special, wasn't it?— special, wasn't it? to be fair, it was good- _ special, wasn't it? to be fair, it was good- i— special, wasn't it? to be fair, it was good. i don't _ special, wasn't it? to be fair, it was good. i don't know, - special, wasn't it? to be fair, it was good. i don't know, i i special, wasn't it? to be fair, it was good. i don't know, i think| was good. i don't know, i think someone touched it a little bit, so made it a bit faster, but yes, it was good to start with and i think after we played very good, yes. here are the other results from the fa cup on sunday bristol city and swansea will have to play again, leeds needed an injury time equaliser to earn a replay against championship side cardiff. there were wins for derby, stoke, blackburn and walsall. you can find all the details on the bbc sport website. and here's that draw for the fourth round in full. stevenage have an away game at stoke after their shock win. wrexham are the only non—league team definitely through, and they'll have a home tie

against sheffield united from the championship. manchester united also have a home match against a second—tier side — reading. that will see paul go back to old trafford, the reading boss. spurs and west ham have away games. but here comes the stand—out fixture. manchester city could play arsenal if the premier league leaders beat oxford on monday night. the last of the third round tie is that we have not seen yet. two—time champion naomi osaka has withdrawn from the australian open just over a week before the tournament begins. just over a week before the just over a week before first grand slam of the yea no reason has been given as to why she won't be playing — she's not competed since september. she won't be playing — venus williams has announced she also won't be taking part, no reason has been given as to why she won't be playing — although that is due to injury. the masters snooker is under way at alexandra palace and neil robertson's defence is already over. the australian was beaten

by the 2015 winner shaun murphy by six frames to four. murphy led 5—1 before the defending champion fought back, but murphy held on and will now face either kyren wilson or stuart bingham in the quarterfinals. the buffalo bills scored a touchdown on their first play since their player damar hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest on the field last monday. suffered a cardiac arrest nyheim hines returned the kick—off all the way into the end zone on an emotional day at orchard park against the new england patriots. hamlin's number three was painted onto the playing surface at the 30—yard line, with his number worn across the league in support, including patriots coach bill belichick. before kick—off, the bills put an image of hamlin on the big screen and an emotional rendition of the national anthem followed. that's all the sport for now. thanks very much, olly foster. parts of western australia have begun the huge task of cleaning up after the state's

worst flooding on record. torrential rain from ex—tropical cyclone ellie has swamped the kimberley region. from sydney, phil mercer reports. in northern parts of western australia, there's water as far as you can see. this is a land well used to nature's extremes. but these are record—breaking floodwaters. as we know, people in the kimberley are experiencing a one in 100 year flood event, the worst flooding western australia has had in its history. this situation continues to change, and is proving to be extremely challenging for residents in the region. a huge inland sea has been surging towards the coast after the fitzroy river swamped the town of fitzroy crossing. a huge inland sea has been surging towards the coast after the fitzroy river swamped the town of fitzroy crossing. dozens of residents have been rescued by helicopter and military aircraft have been delivering food and medicine. the scale of the inundation is vast. it's not something i've seen before. i've got to say, it is just an incredibly immense amount of water on the ground and any photo

you see won't do the scale of it justice. the severe weather has abated, water levels are receding, but the flooding is moving west, threatening other isolated communities. it could take months, if not longerfor roads, bridges, homes and livelihoods to be rebuilt. phil mercer, bbc news, sydney. iam nancy i am nancy caching era, thank you for watching, i am nancy caching era, thank you forwatching, do i am nancy caching era, thank you for watching, do stay with us on bbc news. good evening. it certainly has been a sunday of sunday of it certainly has been

a sunday of sunny spells and scattered showers. but don't take my word for it, take a look at this weather watcher picture, a beautiful rainbow in the sky of cornwall, but wet weather on the roads as those showers eased through. there's going to be further showers to come, actually, over the next couple of days. and overnight, we still keep the low pressure to the north. most of the showers out to the west. but for a time, we will see some clearer skies. favoured spots for that's likely to be through eastern scotland and eastern england. and under those clearer skies, temperatures are likely to fall away. so it'll be a chillier start to monday morning in comparison to of late, low single figures here. so, we start off on monday, still that low pressure into the far north—west, the wind direction swinging round to a north—westerly, a fresher source, that'll drive plenty of showers into northern and western scotland, northern ireland, north—west england and wales. some of those showers will push a little bit further east, but that's where we'll see the best of the drier, brighter weather. a cooler feel generally, then, 6—8 degrees quite widely. we mightjust scrape double figures somewhere in the south—west. then as we go through monday evening for a time, we'll have clearer skies. but out to the west is the next set of fronts that's going to bring more cloud and rain as it does so.

and that means we will start to see those temperatures then a little bit milder to begin with on tuesday morning. so for tuesday, it's going to be a wet and windy day for many as these frontal systems start to push their way steadily north and east, and we'll start to see this wedge of milder air arriving as we go through the day. so, tuesday will be a milder day with the wind direction swinging round to a south—westerly, quite a lot of cloud around, quite wet at times. maybe in the cooler air there'll be a period of snow, but then that eases to rain as the mild air pushes in. and it's going to be a windy afternoon, 30—110 mph gusts of winds for many. and those temperatures, though, look at this, back up into double figures. we could see highs of 1a degrees in the south—west. so, tuesday will be mild, wet and windy. what's in store for wednesday? well, those frontal systems will ease away. we still keep quite a few isobars on the chart. again, the winds swing round to more of a westerly, so it won't be quite as warm. and because it's a westerly direction, still feeding

in showers from the west. so throughout the week, it's going to stay pretty windy at times and staying quite unsettled.

this is bbc news. the headlines. thousands of supporters of the former president of brazil, jair bolsonaro, have stormed the country's national congress in brasilia. police used tear gas in an attempt to repel them. president lula da silva said that everyone involved

will be found and punished. president biden has arrived in texas to visit the us border
