a historic launch from british soil of a plane with a rocket carrying satellites, but the spacecraft fails to reach orbit. 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. hello and welcome to the programme. we start in brazil, where there have been pro—democracy demonstrations across the country after the invasion of the congress by far—right supporters of the former president, jair bolsonaro. one of the biggest protests was in brazil's largest city, sao paulo where tens of thousands people came out.
1:02 am
more than 1,500 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.
1:03 am
the group released a joint statement, condeming what they said were terrorist acts and criminal, coup—mongering vandalism. our correspondent katy watson filed this report from sao paulo. this demonstration is just one of many that have been called in response to the events of sunday. people here are showing that they are not going to take what they saw in brasilia, the invasion of congress and the presidential palace. people are calling for punishment of those responsible. they are waving placards saying without honesty for the coup reserve. i spoke to one person who said this is not about not agreeing, it is allowing people to have different opinions and respecting democracy and this is what this event is about, it is what this event is about, it is about moving forward and encouraging democracy in this deeply divided country. our correspondent nomia iqbal has been following events in the capital brasilia where violent demonstrations
1:04 am
left a trail of damage throughout the city. the cleanup operation is pretty much done here outside the presidential palace, you can obviously see where the protesters caused huge damage. president biden and president lula spoke on the phone and miss divided condemned the attack here in the capital adequacy can relate because the same thing happened in the us two years ago but the crucial difference is that a peaceful transfer of power had already happened he but there is pressure building on mr biden, many members of his party want president scenario to be kicked out of america. he is according to his wife currently in a hospital in florida being treated for abdominal pains and a lot of people here including mr lula blame mr bolsonaro for the unrest because he refused
1:05 am
to accept the election results. there is talk of an extradition but we spoke to a justice minister here who said an expedition can only happen if there is a criminal complaint and a criminal investigation. i spoke to diego scardone, a senior parliamentary advisor to the socialism and liberty party, and asked if brazil has seen a situation like this before. the scenes we've seen in brazil yesterday are unprecedented. we have never seen in brazilian history a president and his supporters who didn't accept the results of the election and tried violent in order to get what they want, instead of pursuing democratic ways to resolve this issue. but pursuing democratic ways to resolve this issue.— pursuing democratic ways to resolve this issue. but as we saw in my — resolve this issue. but as we saw in my colleague's - resolve this issue. but as we saw in my colleague's reportj resolve this issue. but as we i saw in my colleague's report as well as what we have heard from protesters out on the streets,

resilience together because we can no longer live with families who don't speak to each other and former president, far—right president bolsonaro has an lane brazil and brazilian families. lula has started his presidency asking people to bringing people together. 50 asking people to bringing people together.- asking people to bringing people together. asking people to bringing --eole touether. , ., people together. so in terms of askin: people together. so in terms of asking peeple _ people together. so in terms of asking people to come - people together. so in terms ofj asking people to come together and try to heal those wounds, is that enough? just the rhetoric and those sorts of discussions? what do you think needs to happen to bring those people who don't believe in president lula, to get them on board yellow precisely what president lula is doing stop the only a few minutes ago, all 27 brazilian governors, all presidents from all three powers, thejudiciary, the legislative and executive were together in a meeting where they called to end the riot and to establish order in brazil. this is what a leader should be
1:08 am
doing, to bring everyone together, to get the brazilian economy, the brazilian politics and our lives on track again. we've seen hundreds of people detained, and there was certainly the suggestion that security forces could have done more during those protest in the capital brasilia. what is your sense? the capital brasilia. what is yoursense? does the capital brasilia. what is your sense? does president lula have the support of security forces in the military? indeed. the meeting — forces in the military? indeed. the meeting that _ forces in the military? indeed. the meeting that had - forces in the military? indeed. the meeting that had just - the meeting that had just mentioned shows the support of all governors, the president of the supreme court, the presidents of the house of representatives, the president of the senate, altogether in order to bring stability to the country. if there are any institutions that did not compromise with democratic principles, they should answer

to justice. the first attempt to launch a satellite from western europe reported an anomaly. it had left from a coastal town and south—west england carried under the wing of a modified boeing 747, in fact you can see that plain, it has already landed and it was earlier released over the atlantic ocean. virgin orbit had planned to deploy nine small satellites into low earth orbit and its first mission outside its united states base. it is unclear what caused the anomaly but we have heard this from the team. it but we have heard this from the team. . ,, . , . but we have heard this from the team. . ,, .,, ., ., . team. it appears that launch one has suffered _ team. it appears that launch one has suffered any - team. it appears that launch | one has suffered any anomaly which will prevent us from making orbit for the measurement data that we have gotten. i earlier spoke to science correspondent, jonathan amos. he explained what could have gone wrong with the launch.
1:10 am
a rocket is in two stages, so the bottom stage burns for about three minutes and the second stage, the top part 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 sort of tune that orbit so the satellites can then come off the top and do their thing. and it seems that at that stage that is where the issue occurred. we will have to wait, it is a bit of idle speculation on my part but we will have to wait for virgin orbit to explain precisely what happened but they will have beenin happened but they will have been in contact with the rocket. there are grand stations around the earth that they would have been able to communicate with the rocket so they are clear in their minds i guess from that very brief bit of information that they have given to us that something has gone wrong. given to us that something has gone wrong-— given to us that something has gone wrong. there was so much
1:11 am
de-end gone wrong. there was so much depend on _ gone wrong. there was so much depend on this _ gone wrong. there was so much depend on this as _ gone wrong. there was so much depend on this as well, - depend on this as well, jonathan, and they certainly don't want to get you to speculate even further butjust in terms of whether this does become a sort of failed attempts, what does that mean for the uk's space industry? well, the uk has not put all its eggs in one basket. this is what they call a horizontal launch system, by either rocket is launched from under the wing of a 747jumbojet. more traditional rocket you know will go up from the launchpad, they will go up from the ground directly, head straight upwards, and 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 launched in the next few months, maybe towards the end of this year and i am sure virgin orbit will be back, they will probably have to do more flights in america, that is where they are based, in california, then they have a long—term commitment to
1:12 am
spaceport cornwall, this airport here in the south—west of england so i am sure once they have got 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 everybody and nobody is going to just give up after one failure. they are sure to be back. we will be sure to bring you the latest on that story as and when we get it. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: more claims from prince harry about the royal family — this time about his stepmother camilla, the queen consort. day one of operation desert storm to force the iraqis out of kuwait has seen the most intense air attacks since world war ii. 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
1:13 am
smoking cigarettes. there is not a street that is unaffected. 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. 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. i'm karishma vaswani in singapore. our top story today: pro—democracy rallies takes place across in brazil after the violent attacks on government buildings by a right—wing mob on sunday.
1:14 am
there have been messages of support from around the world for president lula, including from president biden, who has invited the brazilian leader to the white house. mr biden is currently in mexico city holding a trilateral summit of north america, with canada's prime ministerjustin trudeau and the mexican leader, andres manuel lopez 0brador. mr biden has been holding talks with his host, stressing america's commitment to its neighbour to the south. here's a little of what he said before the cameras were invited to leave the room. just in the last 15 years we've spent billions of dollars, tens of billions of dollars. and what we have to do is what you've done, and i compliment you've done, and i compliment you on it. we have to continue to support and build democratic institutions in the hemisphere. let's get the latest now
1:15 am
on that summit from our correspondent in mexico city, will grant. as the summit of the so—called three amigos gets under way the first order of business was to issue a joint statement on the events in brazil. presidentjoe biden, president andres manuel lopez 0brador and prem mr trudeau said they condemned the attacks on brazil's democracy instead they look forward to working with president lula, perhaps no surprise they came out very early on with a statement on which they all agree because there will be so much at this summit in which they don't share review. particularly on energy. recently both united states and canada use the mechanisms of their shared free trade agreement to complain about mexico's protectionist policies on its energy sector. they say that president lopez 0brador�*s decisions have been harming canadian and american firms. that needs ironing out. the other obvious area in which
1:16 am
they don't necessarily see eye to eye is over immigration, such an important issue for president biden, domestically speaking, and recently he took a decision to allow 30,000 migrants from venezuela, cuba, nicaragua and haiti to come into the united states through legal channels. that was compensated, if you like, by decision, and acceptance by president lopez 0brador to receive the same number of us deportees each month. it shows there are areas in which the two sides can work but there is still plenty that they are to discuss, particularly about mexico tightening its border with guatemala, something the biden administration is very, very keen to see mr lopez 0brador do.— very keen to see mr lopez 0brador do. the bbc's will . rant. pakistan has received pledges of more than $9 billion at an international conference to help the country recover from last year's floods. that's $1 billion more than islamabad asked for.
1:17 am
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 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 about 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
1:18 am
measures put into place so that there is some resilience because it's not that long away until the rains might start again. caroline davies in islamabad for us. 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 ten 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
1:19 am
recover in around 40 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. the saudi authorities say all coronavirus restrictions will be removed for this year's hajj season injune for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic. last year's season was limited to people aged under 65 who had been fully vaccinated against coronavirus and in full health. 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.
1:20 am
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 of 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
1:21 am
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. sho 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,
1:22 am
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. media commentator ben duncan, who was a contemporary of william and kate at the university of st andrews, in scotland gave his reaction to the interview. last night's interview on itv
1:23 am
was the most talked about interview of the year so far. probably you have to go back to the sort of panorama interview the sort of panorama interview the bbc is well known for with a late princess diana to come close to something of the degree of interest last night had. it was fascinating viewing, an hour and a half, we will all the edge of our seats, we were all gripped. 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 that i think the first quarter of interview was very touching and he came across well, but after that it was downhill.— across well, but after that it was downhill. indeed. on the first art was downhill. indeed. on the first part of — was downhill. indeed. on the first part of the _ was downhill. indeed. on the first part of the interview, - first part of the interview, particularly when he talks about the pain of having lost a parent, do you think that will strike a chord amongst the public in terms of sympathy or empathy for him?—
1:24 am
empathy for him? most definitely. _ empathy for him? most definitely. as _ empathy for him? most definitely. as i - empathy for him? most definitely. as i said, . empathy for him? most i definitely. as i said, that's the tragedy, it was interview in two parts. if the first quarter of the interview, if the tone had been kept throughout the hour and a half we were watching and listening, it would have come across very differently. i saw that and i think we all felt his anguish, we all felt, my god, imagine losing a parent when you are 12 years old, and a full guise of the media, the glare of the media, everything, nothing being secret. we all sympathised with him and harry had a lot of the country and the world on his side. then it all changed about a quarter of the way through.— all changed about a quarter of the way through. there has been so much exposure _ the way through. there has been so much exposure now, - the way through. there has been so much exposure now, hasn't i so much exposure now, hasn't there, the netflix documentary, there, the netflix documentary, the interviews, the book. how much of an impact will this have on any attempts at reconciliation with the family? that's the question that rules on the edge of our seats. with the death of the late queen
1:25 am
just before christmas, many of us saw a glimmer of hope because kate and william and marty meghan and harry to go around the crowds in front of windsor castle, but it was the feeling that there might be a way forward that somehow harry and meghan might be able to come in from the cold, and then we have netflix documentary and the book and these two interviews, and last night was so explosive. whether it was things about quite ridiculous things, frankly, about william being jealous that harry was allowed to have a beard when he got married and william wasn't, whether it was losing rigidity, whether it was losing rigidity, whether as all that sort of stuff. how would you come back from that, uncritically the rather toxic comments about the now queen camilla, how do you ride back once those things have been said? all hope there will be some sort of resolution. i want to urge you to look at the bbc news website for more on all of our top stories,
1:26 am
including that live page with the very latest on that mission. you see there, from the live pictures of that plane that landed and sitting on the tarmac. lots more on the bbc website, as always. 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 24 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 10 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.
1:27 am
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 or two spots, 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 injanuary, 10—14 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
1:28 am
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.
