welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines. fifteen—hundred arrests in brazil following the violent attack on government buildings by supporters of the ousted president zh—air bolsonaro — his successor promises swift retribution. those people who did this will be found and punished. they will realise that democracy guarantees the right to freedom and free speech. prince harry criticises his stepmother — camilla the queen consort — in his latest tv interviews, saying she used the media to promote herself at the expense of family members. and we have take off — the first orbital space launch from uk soil has begun carrying nine satellites into space.

hello and welcome to the programme. we start with the political crisis in brazil — where security forces have detained 1,500 people after supporters of the far—right former president jair bolsonaro stormed government buildings in the capital brasilia. leaders around the world have condemned the riots as an attack on democracy. mr bolsonaro came to power in 2019 — he's popular amongst his supporters — someone they see as a champion of traditional values. but his administration was marked by controversy — many saw his policies as harmful to the amazon rain forest, while others questioned his response to covid — when he downplayed the effects of the pandemic. the new president —

left wing luiz inacio lula da silva — was voted in last october. he has been president before and had served a prison sentence for corruption, a conviction that was later anulled. the close result in last october's election — just 51% to 49% - highligted a divided country. from brasilia, our correspondent nomia iqbal sent this report. hundreds of protesters let out their fury and rage on the heart of brazil's democracy. supporters of the former president bolsonaro entered congress, the supreme court and the presidential palace, destroying offices, computers, furniture and taking over government buildings. more than 1,500 people were detained on a0 buses. the clear up operation has been going on for quite some time now. and these scenes look hauntingly familiar to the attack that happened on the us capitol two years ago. many of the protesters here clearly

copied some of the tactics used by donald trump's supporters. but the crucial difference is this, they didn't try and stop the peaceful transfer of power here in brasilia, and that's because president lula da silva was sworn in last week. many hardline protesters are angry. not because bolsonaro lost, it's because they want lula, a left—wing veteran politician, back in prison, not in the presidential palace. many protesters have been setting up camps for weeks, demanding military action, claiming the election was stolen. translation: i'm here in this totally peaceful demonstration i because i don't agree with all the thievery of lula, the vice president, the supreme court and the superior electoral court. we want new elections, clean ballot boxes. translation: we don't believe this election was democratic. _ the are several indications that there was fraud, that there was corruption. the camps nearby and in other parts of the country have now been removed.

president lula da silva was blunt. he called the protesters fascists. translation: all those people who did this will be _ found and punished. they will realise that democracy guarantees the right to freedom and free speech, but it also demands that people respect the institutions created to strengthen democracy. he also blames mr bolsonaro for refusing to accept the election result. mr bolsonaro's wife says he is currently in hospital in the united states, and some us lawmakers are urging president biden to kick him out. nomia iqbal, bbc news, brasilia. let's go to brasilia now and speak to diego scardone. he's a senior parliamentary adviser to the socialism and liberty party which is in coalition with mr lula. how do you explain what we have seen in brazil? the

on the ground that's at bbc dot com forward slash news — or if you'rejoining from the uk — bbc dot co.uk — or simply download the bbc news app. still to come a bit later in the programme: the first orbital space launch from british soil — in cornwall — takes off — we'll have the latest on that for you injust a moment — but first... there's still been no comment from buckingham palace in response to prince harry's allegations concerning the royal family, following broadcast interviews in the uk and in the us. speaking on �*good morning america', the duke of sussex said his mother — princess diana — would be upset about the state of his relationship with prince william. he's also accused camilla, the queen consort, of using the press to promote her own image at the expense of his and meghan's. here's our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell. across interview after interview — there have been three so far — harry's most damaging claim is that members of the royal family leak stories to the press

to enhance their own reputations and damage those are otherfamily members. this is what he said today on us television about camilla, the queen consort. i have a huge amount of compassion for her, being the third person within my parents' marriage. she's my stepmother. i don't look at her as an evil stepmother. i see someone who married into this institution and has done everything she can to improve her own reputation and her own image, for her own sake. here's what harry believes is evidence of that. in 1998, he says camilla leaked the story that she and the then 16—year—old prince william had had a successful first meeting. in fact, the story got out due to an indiscretion by camilla's then private secretary amanda macmanus. she resigned immediately.

the editor of the sun at the time was david yelland. he believes harry has misunderstood how the palace—press relationship works. i never knew a situation where members of the palace press operation ever briefed against another member of the royal family. as far as my own personal experiences as editor of the sun, that never happened. however, there were many occasions when deals needed to be done, particularly when the princes were young. they had done things which they did not want in the press, and there were meetings that would happen and they would say, "look, could you not print this, maybe you could print this?" but it was never about another member of the royal family, in my experience. the monarchy�*s opponents say it proves its time is up. the pressure group republic said this... among harry's supporters, there's praise for his candour

but also a note of caution. harry and meghan do have to be quite careful right now. i think we're going to see, for the rest of this year, a couple sort of retreating from a lot of what we've seen over the last few months. the buffeting has been intense — it isn't over yet. the palaces remain battened down to ride out the remainder of the storm. nicholas witchell, bbc news. i'm joined now by the media commentator ben duncan, who was a contemporary of william and kate at the university of st andrews, in scotland. your reaction to the interview. i'm afraid we are having some technical difficulties there. we will try again to see if we can speak... i'm not sure if you heard me or not i think we are having an audio clips

there but i wanted to get your thoughts in the first instance on your reaction to the interview. i think the interesting thing is you probably know better than anyone with this whole harry and meghan saga that goes on and on just when we think we have hurt the worst of it and nothing worse can come out and just go on and on. and obviously last night's interview with the most talked about of the year so far. probably going back to the panorama interview with the late princess diana to come close to something of the degree of interest last night had. i think the degree of interest last night had. ithink it the degree of interest last night had. i think it was fascinating viewing, an hourand had. i think it was fascinating viewing, an hour and a half we were all on the edge of our seats. for me it was rather sad because you saw a family's inner turmoil basically being played out. the war of the brothers for all of us to hear and see. and i don't think it did prince

harry any favours. albeit i think the first quarter was very touching and he came across well. but then after that it was sort of downhill. indeed and on that first part of the interview, when he talks about the pain of having loss apparent to think that will strike up a court amongst the public with sympathy or empathy? i amongst the public with sympathy or em ath ? ~ .,, amongst the public with sympathy or em ath ? ~' .,, , amongst the public with sympathy or emath ? ~ , ., empathy? i think most definitely and i think as i said _ empathy? i think most definitely and i think as i said that _ empathy? i think most definitely and i think as i said that is _ empathy? i think most definitely and i think as i said that is the _ i think as i said that is the tragedy. it was an interview in two parts. if the first quarter of the interview if the tone had been kept throughout the hour and a half that we had all been watching, i think it would have come across very differently. if i saw that i think we all felt his anguish, we all felt, my god imagine losing a parent when you are 12 years old. in the full guise of the media, the glare of the media, and you think nothing being secret. and i think we also but that's with him and i think harry had a lot of the country and

indeed the world on his side. and thenit indeed the world on his side. and then it all changed about a quarter of the way through. 50 then it all changed about a quarter of the way through.— then it all changed about a quarter of the way through. so much exposure now, the of the way through. so much exposure now. the netflix _ of the way through. so much exposure now, the netflix documentary - of the way through. so much exposure now, the netflix documentary the - now, the netflix documentary the interviews the book, how much of an impact you think this will have on any sort of attempt of reconciliation with the family? that is the question _ reconciliation with the family? trust is the question that we are all on the edge of our seats over. of course with the death of the late queen just before christmas many of us saw a glimmer of hope because course, kate and william invited meghan and harry to go around the cross in front of windsor castle, there was the feeling that there might be a way forward but somehow harry and meghan may be able to come in from the court. and then of course we had the netflix documentary and to the book and these two interviews. and last night was so explosive. whether it was things about, ridiculous things about william being jealous that carrie was allowed to have a beard

when he got married and william was not. whether it was losing community, all that sort of stuff. how do come back from that and toxic comments about the now queen camilla, how do you write back once those things have been said. we all hope that there will be some sort of solution. but how.— solution. but how. thank you so sor to solution. but how. thank you so sorry to cut _ solution. but how. thank you so sorry to out you _ solution. but how. thank you so sorry to cut you off _ solution. but how. thank you so sorry to cut you off there. - solution. but how. thank you so sorry to cut you off there. i - sorry to cut you off there. i appreciate your thoughts and having you on the programme. take you so much forjoining us. if you want to get in touch with me. i'm on twitter — @bbckarishma you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme. the first ever orbital space launch from british soil takes flight.

day one of operation desert storm to force the iraqis out of kuwait has seen the most intense air attacks since the second world war. tobacco is america's oldest industry, and it's one of its biggest. but the industry is nervous of this report. this may tend to make people want to stop smoking cigarettes. there is not a street that is unaffected. l huge parts of kobe were simplyl demolished as buildings crashed into one another. this woman said she had been given no help and no advice _ by the authorities. she stood outside the ruins of her business. i tens of thousands of black children in south africa have taken advantage of laws passed by the country's new multiracial government and enrolled at formerly white schools. tonight sees the 9,610 performance of her long running play, the mousetrap, when they heard of her death today. the management considered whether to cancel tonight's performance, but agatha christie would have been the last person to want such a thing.

this is newsday on the bbc. our headlines. fifteen—hundred people are arrested in brazil following the violent attack on government buildings by supporters of the ousted president zjair bolsonaro. prince harry has criticised his stepmother — camilla the queen consort — saying she used the media to promote herself at the expense of family members. the first ever orbital space launch from british soil is under way, at newquay airport in the southwest of england. a repurposed jumbojet — named cosmic girl — has taken off carrying a rocket to be released midair over the atlantic. it's carrying nine satellites that will be placed into a low earth orbit. the project is run by a consortium that includes virgin orbit — part owned by the businessman richard branson —

and the uk space agency. the small sattelites being taken into orbit can be used for civilian and military purposes. british astronaut tim peake said there is a increasing demand for these devices. there is a huge growing market for small satellites. these are cube sacs. the total payload may be about 300 kilograms for what this rocket can launch. and it's going into a very useful orbit. you might not think uk is a very good place for launching satellites but enter a sun synchronous orbit, that's almost from the north pole to the south pole. that makes it a very useful orbit for things like earth observation, climate data, weather and also intelligence gathering, communication and navigation as well. in a moment we can speak to professor of astrophysics and space science at space park leicester martin barstow, but first we'll hear from our science correspondent

wonderful to have you on the programme and just to say this is pretty exciting quite a moment. it is a piece of history for both uk and for europe. it is actually the first launch from in europe. in the whole history of the space age. i think we are setting a really important benchmark here. we are giving people much more flexible access to space by having launch sites here and adding others such as in shetland and probably several others in the uk to give us huge capability. in others in the uk to give us huge ca abili . , others in the uk to give us huge caabili . , ., ., capability. in terms of how important _ capability. in terms of how important this _ capability. in terms of how important this is _ capability. in terms of how important this is for - capability. in terms of how important this is for the i capability. in terms of how l important this is for the uk's capability. in terms of how - important this is for the uk's space industry, the space sector, key talk us through the significance and implications that? it us through the significance and implications that?— implications that? it will help stimulate the _ implications that? it will help stimulate the growth - implications that? it will help stimulate the growth of - implications that? it will help stimulate the growth of our i

implications that? it will help - stimulate the growth of our ability to build satellites and given the opportunity to launch them means that we are going to be less dependent on other countries for actually delivering that capability. so there is more competition around the expansion of the space economy, being able to do that ourselves will be tremendously important for creating feat supply chains, getting these things into space. particularly grown jobs within the uk. in particularly grown “obs within the uk. , ., , .., . particularly grown “obs within the uk. , ., , . ., uk. in terms of the significance of all of this and _ uk. in terms of the significance of all of this and how _ uk. in terms of the significance of all of this and how much - uk. in terms of the significance of all of this and how much work - uk. in terms of the significance of| all of this and how much work goes into something like this key talk us through that? this into something like this key talk us through that?— into something like this key talk us through that? this has been several ears in through that? this has been several years in the — through that? this has been several years in the making. _ through that? this has been several years in the making. the _ through that? this has been several years in the making. the uk - through that? this has been several years in the making. the uk has - through that? this has been severalj years in the making. the uk has not been traditionally, involved in rocket launches. we centre on satellites and we have gotten good at that and has driven a multi—billion pound space economy each year. but the ability to take

our own satellites and put them into orbit ourselves is important for making our way into the world. lots of people are accessing, very few launch services these days. so there has been a whole set of activities that have had to happen. we have had to put in the legal framework to allow launches from the uk. we have had to put in the framework to control the satellites in orbit and at each step the government has actually supported this through the uk space agency. so there have been an army of people that have contributed to this, notjust their import people at the cornwall lodge site. it import people at the cornwall lodge site. ., , ., ,, import people at the cornwall lodge site. ., , .,~ ., import people at the cornwall lodge site. ., , ., ., , import people at the cornwall lodge site. ., , ., ., site. it does take an entire army of --eole site. it does take an entire army of people and — site. it does take an entire army of people and we _ site. it does take an entire army of people and we have _ site. it does take an entire army of people and we have heard - site. it does take an entire army of people and we have heard the - site. it does take an entire army of people and we have heard the firsti people and we have heard the first rocket launch into space, successfully released from the version orbit and we are looking at live pictures from inside the spaceport. —— virgin orbit. get a

capability on top of some great capabilities as we already have. but spaceis capabilities as we already have. but space is filling our lives. we use base data for a huge amount of normal activity, forecasting the weather, monitoring agriculture, understanding the climate so everything that we used to do that needs to be in space and therefore we need to have this way of getting this. so it will help perpetuate the growth of the space economy through the uk. and that is an important thing for the economy of the uk as a whole. it is a strong growth area and we all need some good use for the economy. and we all need some good use for the economy-— and we all need some good use for the econom . ~ ., ., ., ., the economy. what a great way to end the economy. what a great way to end the interview- — the economy. what a great way to end the interview. they _ the economy. what a great way to end the interview. they can _ the economy. what a great way to end the interview. they can so _ the economy. what a great way to end the interview. they can so much - the economy. what a great way to end the interview. they can so much for i the interview. they can so much for joining us on the programme.

california is bracing itself for more severe weather this week, the us state has already suffered a week of torrential downpours and damaging winds that killed 12 people in 10 days. the governor of california, gavin newsome, has warned the most brutal weather is due over the next 48 hours. a search is under way in ukraine for two british nationals who've gone missing in the eastern donetsk region. christopher parry, who's 28 and from cornwall, had travelled to the country to offer humanitarian assistance, along with andrew bagshaw, who's 48 and lives in new zealand. they were last seen on friday heading to the town of soledar, which has seen intense fighting in recent days. scientists have said the ozone layer is on track to completely recover in around a0 years because of the phasing out of the chemicals which were depleting it. action to protect the layer, which prevents harmful ultraviolet rays reaching the earth's surface, was taken in the 1980s after it was revealed gases in fridges and aerosols, called cfcs, were harming it.

thank you so much forjoining me to stay with me this evening. the dry days have been very hard to find for some of late. take odiham in hampshire. this is where we saw the driest conditions during the summer. 46 days without rain in the last 2a hours, only two have been completely dry and only two in the last 38 draws in cornwall. wet is relative to average. so far this month though has been in gwyneth and i reckon by the end of tuesday will have seen an entire month's worth of rainfall in the first ten days. and that's because here and across north—west england, where we see the wettest weather on tuesday, the greatest impacts risk of flooding up to 100 millimetres on the hills. all responsible is this weather system which has been working its way in from the west overnight. northern eastern areas are dry enough starts even a bit of a chill

about with a touch of frost for one or two and some morning sunshine in northern scotland. but the morning rush hour in western england, wales and northern ireland will be thoroughly wet and increasingly windy by the end of the rush hour of that rain into eastern england centres on the scotland snow in the hills, rain continues to push its way northwards. the rain does ease off, though. it does turn dry for a time across england and wales, a little bit brighter in one, a two spot, some drizzle on the hills. there's another batch of rain coming in from the west. later, as i said, it turns windy, 40, maybe 50 mile gusts possible. but coming in from a safe south—westerly direction, a very mild day for this stage injanuary, 10 to 1a celsius for many especially, we get some brighter breaks briefly across the south. so here's that slice of milder weather. it's contained between the heavy rain in the morning and a batch of not quite as heavy rain spreading eastwards during the first part of tuesday night into wednesday. that allows westerly winds back strengthening. but bringing in the blue colours here, an indication of cooler air. now, it will be a sunny start to wednesday across some central and eastern parts. one or two staying dry, but plenty of showers

already in the west, strengthening winds, touching gale force at times. and that will drive those showers heavy with hail and thunder eastwards as we go into the afternoon. temperatures down on tuesdays, still a degree or so higher than we normally expect for the stage injanuary. cool night will follow across the north where with lighter winds, a touch of frost. but in the south, the next weather system will bring outbreaks of rain. most persistent southern counties of england and wales, gale force winds here bright enough, start further northwards in eastwards, but showers get going and spread to many areas before the day is out and it will feel chilly in the north, especially in those strengthening winds once again. take care.

a woman has beenjailed for stabbing to death a convicted paedophile. paedophiles tear lives apart. it's what they do. her children had been sexually abused. were you glad he was dead? yeah. oh, yeah. definitely. she stabbed michael pleasted repeatedly. he bled to death. 20 minutes later, she re—emerged. you can see the knife.
