welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. tens of thousands of brazilians have taken to the streets in support of democratic values — a rejection of the violent storming of the country's congress on sunday. some of the crowds have been chanting for former president jair bolsonaro to be sent to prison — it was his supporters that led the riots, claiming his election defeat was a fix. our south america correspondent katy watson's been at one of the pro—democracy demos in 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, the supreme federal court, and the presidential palace. people are calling for punishment of those responsible. they are waving placards saying without amnesty for the coup mongerers. 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's about moving forward and encouraging democracy in this deeply divided country. meanwhile in brasilia, the scene of sunday's riots, plenty has been going on. police have been using buses to take some of the more than 1,500 people who have been arrested into custody. the investigation will also look at who directed the invasion of the congress. 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 now becoming apparent. however, it seems that no—one was seriously injured. 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." our correspondent nomia iqbal is in brasilia. she sent this update. the cleanup operation is pretty much done here outside the presidential palace, you can still see where the test is caused huge damage, president biden and president lula spoke on the phone and president biden condemned the attack on the brazilian capital, and he can relate because the same thing happened in the us two years ago, the racial

differences a peaceful transfer of power had already happened here because president lula was inaugurated a week ago, there is pressure building on president biden, members of his party won the former brazilian presidentjair bolsonaro to be kicked out of america. he is according to his wife currently in a hospital in florida been treated with abdominal pain, a lot of people here, including president lula blamejair president lula blame jair bolsonaro president lula blamejair bolsonaro for the unrest because he refused to accept the election results. there is talk of an extradition but we spoke to a justice minister here who said that can only happen if there is a criminal complaint and happen if there is a criminal complaintand a happen if there is a criminal complaint and a criminal investigation. let's get some more reaction from brazil now from maria herminia tavares, a professor of political science at sao paulo university. there has been a very important reaction to the vandalism acts last sunday.

actually, there is opinion poll, that says that 90% of the brazilians condemn the acts, so i think there is a huge support for democracy, everybody is very appalled by the violence, that we saw in brasilia by television. i think that, probably, there has been some lenience, if not complicity of the governor of the federal district, brasilia is the federal district in brazil, and it has a governor, the governor has secretaries, and clearly, they knew that these people were there, and they could cause huge problems,

and they didn't take the measures to stop them. and today, the supreme court actually removed the governor of the federal district for 90 days, or three months, in order to do the investigation is necessary to punish the people that promoted that. i think the extreme right in brazil is strong, it is organised, has money, has support, from entrepreneurs, from minority groups in society, so it would be an easy test, for lula, he was elected

with a very tiny margin. maria travaris speaking to me earlier. the attempt to make history by launching satellites into orbit from uk soil has ended in failure after the rocket did not reach orbit. the mission had started according to plan, with the modified boeing jumbo jet taking off from the space port in cornwall in the south west of england on monday evening, local time. the next stage was to fly to 35,00 feet, that's around 10,500 metres, over the atlantic ocean before releasing a rocket which would then blast into orbit. but it never made it. the reason is not yet clear. here is the moment the news that the mission had failed was announced. it appears launcher0ne has suffered an anomaly which will prevent us from making orbit for this mission. we are looking at the information and data that we have gotten. 0ur science correspondent

jonathan amos was at the launch in cornwall — he explained what happened. well, the evening had started so well, a lot of optimism here, over2,000 guests, vips, had come to witness something historic — a first satellite launch from uk soil. matthew stanner, the chief pilot, edged the plane out onto the runway, it went down the runway with the rolling stones hit start me up blaring on the loudspeakers. we thought everything was great, the plane got out to the launch zone just south of ireland, it released the rocket, it ignited and started to go into the sky, and the data coming back, the pictures coming back suggested everything was ok. then we got a message from virgin 0rbit that something had gone wrong, it appears the upper part of the rocket, called the upper stage, experienced some sort of fault, some sort of anomaly which meant that it didn't get

to the right orbit and the satellites were not released. so it's a failure, i'm afraid, for this first uk launch from uk soil, but they will come back, i'm sure of that. they will need time to work out precisely went wrong and remember this is not the only uk launch that we will see from here in cornwall, there will be other launches as well later this year from scotland. so keep some hope, and this new industry, this nascent industry that they are developing will come true in the end. keith cowing is a former employee at nasa and the editor of astrobiology.com. he joined me from washington. he gave me his thoughts in the mission. the measured language we have a euphemism called a mishap, not an accident, people will look into it and say we will get back to you in 30 days, something

like that then there will be a report. somewhere in the mix they will figure out what went wrong, if you are going to ask me what i think went wrong like jonathan said, the first stage was fine, launches like this. i went and had dinner came back when they put the second engine, nothing. something happened, they thought it was going well they tweeted we are in orbit but they weren't. how easy do you think it will be to get back up? n-s— not that hard. at this point in the interview i am meant to say space is hard but this technology been used before when they drop a rocket from the plane and leave it to orbit, you have to do it a few times as you get under your belt to do things and after that it is smooth, the first couple of launches

can be painful to go through. many people are optimistic about the implications of the launch for global space travel, how does this failure affect its prospects? failures happen in space, as you structure these technologies out for the first few times they had some problems with the rocket, a few launches had failed after the news came out this launch didn't happen, their stock went way down, so future prospects, i don't know, jonathan expressed some optimism and everyone in the industry has that, it is the can you stick with it long enough to make things work. in the big picture it's going to be another thing that has to be overcome, i don't think it will cut back on interest on going into space, and europe are soon going to be busy with rockets flying all over the place.

keith cowan, a former employee of nasa. an international report says human action to save the ozone layer appears to have worked. the study says it should fully recover within decades as naomi choy smith reports. the ozone layer, a thin shield protecting us from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, damaged and depleted by chemicals released into the atmosphere. now, finally, some good news — the ozone layer is healing and could be fully restored in the next four decades. according to a new report co—authored by the un, us and eu, which says human action to ban ozone harming chemicals is working. the phase—out of nearly 99% of banned ozone substances had succeeded in safeguarding the ozone layer, leading to notable recovery of the ozone layer in the upper stratosphere and decreased human exposure to harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. holes were first discovered in the 1980s, by 1987,

46 countries had signed up to the montreal protocol, banning gases in aerosols and fridges called cfcs. they were destroying the ozone, letting through harmful ultraviolet rays that can cause problems like skin cancer. while the depletion of ozone is not a major cause of climate change, saving the ozone layer does have a positive knock on effect on global warning because some of the chemicals that were phased out are powerful greenhouse gases. the report says the ozone layer should recover to 1980 levels by roughly 2066, over the antarctic by 2045, over the arctic, and by 2040 for the rest of the world. there's always is the risk progress could be reversed, still, the un is optimistic, saying this sets a good example for other environmental action as the battle for our planet's future isn't over yet. naomi choy smith, bbc news.

and the mexican leader, andres manuel lopez 0brador. mr biden has been holding talks with his host, and there appears to have been a bit of a disagreement. president lopez 0brador said mr biden, who had omitted leaders from some countries from a summit of the americas last year, had been somewhat lacking in his diplomacy. this lacking in his diplomacy. is the moment for us to determine, this is the moment for us to determine, to do away with his abandonment and this disdain and this forgetfulness in the caribbean. which is opposed to the policy of good neighbourhood. president biden, do you keep hold the key in your hand to open and to substantially improve the relationship among all the countries of the american continent? well, mr biden wasn't overly impressed with that criticism

of america's regional policy in its own hemisphere, and he was quick to point out what he felt his country had achieved over the decades. just take a listen. just in the last 15 years, we've spent billions of dollars in the hemisphere — tens of billions of dollars in the hemisphere. and what we have to do is what 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 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 prime minister trudeau said that they condemned the attacks on brazil's democracy, and said they look forward to working with president lula. perhaps no surprise

that 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 a view, particularly on energy. recently both the united states and canada used 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. and the other obvious area in which they don't necessarily see eye to eye is over immigration, such an important issue for president biden, of course, domestically speaking, and recently, he took a decision to allow 30,000 migrants from venezuela, cuba, nicaragua and haiti to come in to the united states through legal channels. that was compensated, if you like, by a decision, an 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. that was our correspondence will grant there. after all the drama last week over the election of a new speaker to the us house of representatives, today was republican kevin mccarthy's first day as speaker. this is the moment he took up his newjob — opening the session with the traditional prayer. he also came through his first test with the rules package, which will govern how the house operates in the next two years, being passed with just one republican dissenting. the democrats say mr mccarthy has undermined his authority by giving too many concessions to the right wing of his party. 0ur north america correspondent david willis gave us this assessment of mr mccarthy's first day.

kevin mccarthy has passed the first test of his new role. he has got this rules package past the lower house in the last few hours, and that will govern basically the procedure of the 118th congress. it includes such arcane matters as decorum on the house floor and so on, but there have been some considerable concessions, as you just said, in order to get the speakership for mr mccarthy, and he has had to make concessions in regard to the rules package — those concessions include cuts in us defence spending, that could have implications for us aid for ukraine. also, some changes to matters such as the creation of a committee to look into the workings of the usjustice department, particularly in regard to its investigations of the former president donald trump. and there are also measures

that will make it more difficult for mr mccarthy to hold onto his position as a speaker, enabling just one vote to get him thrown out of office. the big question — how much does all this undermine his authority going forward? i have to tell you that there are some here in congress, who believe that all that wrangling, the turbulence that we saw of the last week in terms of getting mr mccarthy over the line, the votes he needed for the speakership, could prove small beer when compared to actually hanging on to the speakership in the months and weeks ahead. now, the last 2a hours have seen a whirlwind of prince harry appearing in high—profile interviews in the uk and in the us in theory to promote his new book. there have been plenty of revelations and nothing but silence from harry's father and brother, king charles and prince william. the book is now officially on sale, and our correspondent katie silver is at a store

in singapore where copies are available. there's definitely some business. we saw one man lining up outside. the bookshop�*s been open almost an 1.5 hours. he was lining up outside to buy his book. we're hearing that they've got about 200 books printed here, and they're going in the order of about 60 singaporean dollars, which is about 45 us dollars or £37. it is a slight markup from the prices that they're going to be going for in other markets but, without a doubt, quite popular. as i say, 200 books here and they're expecting them to sell out. one man who has bought two of those books is nav. thank you forjoining me, nav. tell me, you've come day one to buy this book. what interests you about it? obviously the entire story. we grew with indian heritage to the royal family, it's part and parcel. my grandfather was a builder. in india, his company actually built the british embassy in calcutta, so growing up, it's part of our heritage. we saw — me and my wife, i am from the us, my wife is from singapore —

we recently moved to london i want to say this past may, and so it has been all over the news. we watched the netflix series and, you know, just trying to ascertain the sides of the story, that kind of situation. strong interest in the book, i believe it was delayed, the release was delayed, so when i heard it was out, i said let me pop by and pick up a book. you've bought two books. one for my wife, one for me. you will have to race each other to read it. exactly, exactly. what's the feeling of your wife's family — you were mentioning that to me earlier — do you think the british royal family has gained as much traction here in asia? i do. i think from my wife's family who are from singapore, i think they feel it is a tragic, tragic story of what's transpired. me and my wife were talking, we both have siblings, and our thought process is siblings are god given, you get to pick your wife, you get to pick your friends, but for some reason you don't

get to pick your siblings, so obviously there's always disagreements, whatnot, but there's a way in which to handle it. i think when we first watched the netflix, the first three episodes, we were like, 0k, meghan was put in an uncomfortable position, whatnot. we respected their decision to leave, you know, but everything subsequently, you know, after the fact is kind of like... as you say, you've devoured the netflix series, there have been all these tv interviews about it. do you think there is much more for you to learn in the book? at this point, with all of the leaks and whatnot, but again, it is... you read something, an excerpt of something, it could be taken out of context, so it's kind of notjust running with the public opinion, ascertain it for yourself by reading it through, so wars— the thought process here. in other news now. should obese children be given weight—loss drugs from as young as 12 years old? that's the recommendation from the american academy of peediatrics — an independent

group of medical experts — who say that more than fourteen million adolescents could benefit from the treatments. well, a little earlier, i put it to dr marc michalsky of the nationwide children's hospital in columbus, 0hio, if it would be better to concentrate on prevention rather than treatment. it is such an important topic, it's not specifically addressed in this document, and it will actually come up in the nearfuture in a separate document and statement that's specifically devoted to prevention. yes, you are absolutely right — prevention of course is important. but we have such a large proportion of the population that already is beyond the point of prevention. these are individuals that are suffering from obesity and need concrete measures to address this issue. you are watching bbc news. thank you very much for watching. you can reach me on twitter —

i'm @monikaplaha. 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, only two have been completely dry and only two in the last 38 — culdrose in cornwall. wet is relative to average so far this month, though, has been bala in gwyneth, and i reckon by the end of tuesday we'll have seen an entire month's worth of rainfall in the first 10 days. and that's because here and across northwest england is where we see the wettest weather on tuesday, the greatest impacts, risk of flooding up to 100mm on the hills. all responsible is this weather system, which will be working its way

in from the west overnight. northeastern areas, a dry enough start, 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, that rain into eastern england, central and southern 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—southwesterly 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 containing 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 this stage in january. 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, a 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.

this is bbc news, the headlines: around 15,000 people have been detained in brazil, after sunday's violent attacks on government buildings by a far—right mob. pro—democracy rallies have taken place across the country in response. the first 0rbital space mission launched from western europe has ended in failure, after its rocket was unable to reach low earth orbit. launcher0ne was released from under the wing of a reconditioned jumbo jet that had taken off from south—west england. prince harry's much—anticipated memoir, spare, is about to go on sale in the uk and north america. so far, there has been no official response

from buckingham palace about the claims he's made
