everything welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore, everything i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines. mass arrests in brazil after supporters of the ousted presidentjair bolsonaro storm government buildings. his successor says it was a terrorist attack. all those people who did this will be found and punished. they will realise that democracy guarantees the right to freedom and free speech. pakistan says it's received pledges of more than nine billion dollars from international donors to help its recovery from last year's devastating floods. lift off — a historic space mission has begun, as a plane launches a rocket carrying satellites from british soil for the first time. and in his latest tv interviews, prince

harry claims camilla the queen consort used the media to promote herself at the expense of family members. we start in brazil — where there has been a swift and stern reaction to the invasion of the congress by supporters of the former president, jair bolsonaro. more than one thousand five hundred people have been arrested — with suggestions they could be charged with terrorism. they've been taken in buses to police headquarters to be questioned. it seems the investigation into who was behind the invasion will be a priority for the new government of president lula. police have already been dismantling the main protest

camp which was set up by supporters of mr bolsonaro. officers wearing riot uniforms were deployed — and a spokesman said the protestors were dispersed. the aftermath of the damage caused to the congress and other government buildings in brasilia is becoming apparent. however, it seems that no—one was seriously injured. some supporters of president lula have suggested that is because the security forces were encouraged by politicians more loyal to mr bolsonaro to stand back. the governor of brasilia, ibaneis rocha, has been suspended for failing to prevent the riot — he has apologised for what happened. as for president lula — he's been meeting with regional governors in brasilia. the group released a joint statement, condeming what they said were �*terrorist acts and criminal, coup—mongering vandalism. �*0ur correspondent nomia iqbal is in brasilia — she sent this update. so far more than 1,500 people have been detained and they

were taken away on a0 buses, but it is thought that there are so many more that ran away following the riots and they have sent out an e—mail address, the government, asking citizens to give them any clues there is also a social media page that has nearly a million followers where they have images of alleged rioters also asking the public for help. here outside of the presidential palace the clear up is pretty much over, people were working night and day to try and get it back to normal following those rights. of course there has been lots of comparisons with january the 6th and the images that we have seen and heard that are so hauntingly familiar to that attack two years ago will stop certainly, a lot of protesters here copied some of the tactics used that were saw with donald trump's supporters but the crucial difference here in that the peaceful transfer of power,

it did happen in brazil because president lula da silva was inaugurated last week. that was very different to what protesters were doing in the us. as you say lula da silva has demanded swift action and has called the rioters here fanatical fascists. i spoke to diego scardone, a senior parliamentary adviser to the socialism and liberty party, and asked if brazil has seen a situation like this before. the scenes we have seen in brazil are unprecedented. we have never seen in brazilian history a government, a former president and his supporters who did not accept the results of election and try to use violence in order to get what they want. instead of pursuing democratic

ways to resolve the issue. as we saw in the report in what we have heard from protesters out on the streets people are very concerned and they do not support the new president. are those concerns legitimate? not really. it would have been legitimate if they had stand, run for elections in four years�* times. the elections were fair in free and our government will commence to work. there is no way to use violence as a means to achieve their ends. it does seem to be an increasingly divided country and while certainly violence is not the route toward solving

the problems, president lula da silva has to unite in increasingly polarised population. indeed and lula has been working on that in his first inauguration speech he said that he will bring brazilians together because we can no longer live with families who do not speak to each other and the former far right president jair bolsonaro has fled to ——enflamed brazil and brazilian families. lula da silva has started his presidency asking for people to bring people together. in terms of asking people to come together and to try and heal wounds, is that enough? just the rhetoric in those sorts of discussions, what do you think needs to happen to bring those people who do not bring in lula da silva on board? excatly what he is doing.

only a few minutes ago over 27 brazilian governors all presidents from all three judiciary executive and legislative were in a meeting with a call to end riots and to establish order in brazil. this is what a leader should do. to bring everyone together, the brazilian economy politics in on track. we have seen hundreds of people detained and there was certainly the suggestion that security forces could have done more during those protests in the capital brasilia. what is your sense does lula da silva have the support of the security forces in the military? indeed. the meeting ijust mentioned show support for all governors,

the president of the supreme court, house of representatives, senate altogether in order to bring stability to the country. if there are any institutions that do not compromise with the democratic principles, they should seek justice. in other news today. pakistan hass received pledges of more than nine billion dollars at an international conference to help the country recove from last year's floods. that's one billion dollars more than islamabad asked for. addressing the conference in geneva, the un secretary—general antonio guterres called for investment to help pakistan recover from what he called a "climate disaster of monumental scale". our correspondent in islamabad, caroline davies, says the focus will now be on pakistan's resilience and disaster planning for the future. this is not the first time

we have seen flooding in pakistan, but this was climate carnage as per his description. this is excessive flooding this is not the thing that pakistan normally sees but we did see flooding back in 2010 on a dramatic scale as well. the questions were what what lessons were learned from 2010. what measures were in place from how well did they work and would they be able to cope in the future. questions about drainage, questions but in the infrastructure are being built to sustain it. there are still people who have those questions, as well. but of course the next stage is that there are some of these measures put into place so that there is some resilience because it's not that long away until the rains might start again. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. california is bracing itself for more severe weather this week —— with forecasters warning of an incoming "relentless parade of cyclones". 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 underway 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 forty 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.

some breaking news now that first rocket to be launched into space from british soil has been successfully released from under the wing of a repurposed jumbo jet from under the wing of a repurposed jumbojet and from under the wing of a repurposed jumbo jet and hour after the plane took off from cornwall. a large company virgin 0rbit has set an anomaly has prevented it from reaching low earth orbit where it was to deploy nine satellites. the company is saying it is evaluating the information. it appears that it has suffered an anomaly that will prevent us from making orbit this mission. we are looking at the information that we have gotten. and we will be back with you in a moment for more. we'll be sure to bring you that news when we get it in the excavation behind the anomaly. in earlier earlier i spoke to astrophysics and space science professor, martin barstow, he highlighted the importance of this launch.

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 the supply chains, getting these things into space. particularly growing jobs within the uk. in terms of the significance of all of this and how much work goes into something like this can you talk us through that? this has been several years in the making. the uk has not been traditionally, involved in rocket launches. we've tended to focus 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 launch site. it does take an entire army of people and we have heard the first rocket launch into space, successfully released from the virgin 0rbit and we are looking at live pictures from inside the spaceport.

you get a sense of the scale of how many people have had to work on this except as you were talking about, professor. when something like this happens what does it mean for people who have been working on this for such a long time, scientists and researchers? i have been involved in a few space launches over my career and there are mixed feelings. great excitement but also great nervousness because we all know that there are risks involved in putting things into space. launch vehicles don't work 100% so when you see something like this go off successfully there is a huge amount of relief. and a great sense of indication for all of the people who have put so much of their lives into actually getting it to the state.stage. in terms of the future of the space industry in the uk, what is your sense of where it goes from your? i think it is only going to continue to grow.

this is an additional capability on top of some great capabilities as we already have. but space is filling our lives. we use space 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 there. 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. professor of astrophysics in space i'm speaking to me a little earlier and we will have more on the story coming up on newsday. we will be speaking to our science correspondent who can hopefully explain what has gone wrong with the orbit. the

some of the programme. more claims from prince harry at this time about his stepmother, the queen consort. 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 simply 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. j 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

to our science correspondent. great to get you on the programme i understand that you have just come from a briefing about what has happened. talk throu~h about what has happened. talk through what — about what has happened. talk through what you _ about what has happened. t:i< through what you know. we about what has happened. t:i«1 through what you know. we have not had a briefing yet we are hoping we will get one in the next hour or so, we will see. the picture here is a little confused. the mission seemed to be going well, the plane you made just be able to see behind the left at at about 10pm local here. everything was going great right up to the large sewn just south of ireland, dropped the rocket and it ignited and went skyward and the data in pictures that we saw indicated that the rocket was working well. then, we got a message to say that there had been some sort of problem. from virgin 0rbit to say that the rocket was unable to release its satellite, nine satellites were on board. we are waiting

for a bit of an update on that. we have heard from one of the satellite operators that the telemetry information to spell away. so they are in the dark and i guess virgin 0rbit are not trying to establish precisely what happened. it is a relatively new lodge system. it has been in operation since 2020. it failed on its first trial not unusual for its lodge system. then head for successful flights. this would have been its fifth but it seems that has not happened. shit seems that has not happened. at this point is it still too early to say whether this has been a failed attempt or not? do is simply not know at this point? do is simply not know at this oint? , ., . . point? they would have had a aood point? they would have had a good idea _ point? they would have had a good idea of— point? they would have had a good idea of the _ point? they would have had a good idea of the altitude - point? they would have had a good idea of the altitude at i good idea of the altitude at which the upper stage of the market was at. it was do to make a couple of burns, a record is in two stages so the bottom stage burns for about

three minutes in the second stage, the top burns for another six minutes. at that point you are basically in orbit. but then the upper stage has to do a little bit more work to tune that orbits within the satellites can come off top. it seems that at that stage that is where the issue occurred. we will have to wait, this is been speculation on my part but we will have to wait for virgin 0rbit to explain precisely what happened. they will have been in contact with the rocket. there are ground stations around the earth that they would have been able to communicate with the rocket. so in their minds they are cleared that the brief bit of information that they have given for us that something has gone wrong. so given for us that something has gone wrong-— given for us that something has one wronu. . ., , gone wrong. so much was pinned on this as well _ gone wrong. so much was pinned on this as well and _ gone wrong. so much was pinned on this as well and i _ gone wrong. so much was pinned on this as well and i certainly - on this as well and i certainly do not want to get you to speculate any further but in terms of whether this does

become a failed attempts what does that mean for the uk's space industry?— does that mean for the uk's space industry? the uk has not ut all of space industry? the uk has not out all of its — space industry? the uk has not put all of its eggs _ space industry? the uk has not put all of its eggs in _ space industry? the uk has not put all of its eggs in one - put all of its eggs in one basket. this is what they call a horizontal launch system. the rocket is launched from under the wing of a 7117 jumbo jet. more traditional markets you know will come till he might up from the ground directly. the uk is backing a number of rockets to do that principally from scotland, the north of the country and we are likely to see those launch in the next few months. may be towards the end of this year. i am sure virgin 0rbit will be back. they will probably have to do more flights in america where they are based, california. and they have a long—term commitment to spaceport cornwall. this new key airport in the south west of england so i'm sure once they have everything sorted out

they have everything sorted out they will be back and they will have another go. they have invested £20 million here to do launches so it is a big commitment from everyone and no one willjust give up after one failure. they are sure to be back. . ~ , ., failure. they are sure to be back. . ~ i. failure. they are sure to be back. . ~ . ., back. thank you so much for “oininu back. thank you so much for joining us- — back. thank you so much for joining us. the _ back. thank you so much for joining us. the bbc- back. thank you so much for joining us. the bbc science | joining us. the bbc science correspondent with the latest on that story for us. still 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 other family 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... harry has

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. a reminder of the breaking news, the first rocket has been successfully released and hour after the plane took off but the launch company virgin 0rbit says an anomaly has prevented launcher from says an anomaly has prevented launcherfrom reaching low launcher from reaching low earth launcherfrom reaching low earth orbit where it was too deployed nine small satellites. the company says it is

evaluating the information and we will be sure to bring you more on that as we get it. for now but that is it from us thank you for watching. hello. more wind and rain coming to just about all on tuesday. the dry days have been very hard to find for some of late. take 0diham 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 south south—westerly direction, a very mild day for this stage in january, 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 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 and 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.
