5:05 am
outside the presidential palace. you can still see where the protesters 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, of course, the crucial difference is 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 want the former brazilian president jair bolsonaro to be kicked out of america. he is, according to his wife, currently in a hospital in florida being treated with abdominal pains. a lot of people here, including president lula blame mr 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 a criminal investigation. let's get some of the day's other news:

5:11 am
and in my opinion, technical failure like today would give you an option or an opportunity to learn about the system and improve the next mission so, in a general, i would not take this as a show stopper but an argument for improving the space system for future adventures. i think we have seen this from spacex multiple tryouts and finally achieving what they need. i think it is a first kind, it is one step ahead of space mission for future flights.— ahead of space mission for future flights. this was the first ever _ future flights. this was the first ever satellite - future flights. this was the first ever satellite mission | first ever satellite mission launched from the uk. how important is it for different countries to develop their own space to allergy?— space to allergy? mobile lodauin space to allergy? mobile lodging systems - space to allergy? mobile lodging systems are - space to allergy? mobile lodging systems are a i space to allergy? mobile - lodging systems are a unique way of launching space instruments — — launching systems. it gives you an option
5:12 am
to launch a different location so for example if you encounter weather and other issues in one location, the mobile launching system provides you an option to change location and carry on with the mission so it is an important one and today's flight is the first, as you say, from uk soil, and an important milestone for the space interesting to launch small satellites into space, mostly for the uk it is one step forward to enter space technology from building satellites to launching them so this approach could be low—budget for other missions as well, other nations, so the uk could give an alternative with a low budget for other nations so, to be honest, an incredible and amazing technique and definitely it will give an option for other
5:13 am
nations to ride into space. this was a virgin orbit system, we have seen proper individuals commit wealth alongside government to develop space technology. why do we need it? you see, like this is going to give — let me explain how it works and how it is different from spacex and other investments billionaires are to support the space industry. the technology that you see today from virgin orbit is a modified point where an aircraft isn't tied into a launching pad in order to send rocket towards earth's of it, around 35,000 feet or 10,000 metres, and it is one of the companies which
5:14 am
pushes the boundaries of humanity beyond the orbit so virbit 0rbit is a sister company to virgin galactic. —— virgin 0rbit. virgin 0rbit launched is rocket launcher0ne from under the wing of a modified giant and plane called cosmic girl. it is a fascinating technology and new approaches of these billionaires are putting in is definitely going to give us a new adventure and a new way to go into space so it has multiple ways to address by investing, it will help us address and coming up with different ways to reach space. dr berhanu bulcha thank you for your thoughts and expertise.

stay with us on bbc news. still to come: prince harry's highly—anticipated memoir is about to go on sale in the uk, but is already out elsewhere, including singapore, from where we'll have the latest reaction. 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 smoking cigarettes. there is not a street that is unaffected. l huge parts of kobe - were simply demolished as buildings crashed into one another. i 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 9,610th 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 bbc world news. the latest headlines: a historic uk space mission involving a plane with a rocket carrying satellites onboard, ends in failure. pro—democracy rallies takes place across in brazil after the violent attacks on government buildings by a right—wing mob on sunday. bookshops across the uk opened at midnight to meet demand for prince harry's memoir after it officially went on sale. it follows the chaotic launch of spare, with multiple leaks and copies becoming available in spain last week.
5:17 am
it's also available around the world, including singapore. let's speak to our reporter, katie silver, who's at a book shop there. i don't see a huge queue behind you. what's the reaction been from there that's true. it’s from there that's true. it's safe to say _ from there that's true. it's safe to say there _ from there that's true. it's safe to say there has - from there that's true. it�*s safe to say there has not been huge queues but there was one man waiting. the bookshop has been open forjust man waiting. the bookshop has been open for just three man waiting. the bookshop has been open forjust three hours and he waited outside. within at least three people buying books, one man bought two of the books and i had a chat to them about their reactions, why they are here. one singaporeans had given singapore's colonial history it was a british colony, he has been quite interested in the british royal family and the crown, the recent popularity of the netflix series the crown sparked the interest further. another man of indian origin said given his background he grew upfinding said given his background he grew up finding it of interest and said he has always respected the royal family and we have heard how they want to hear from the horse's mouth and one man expressed some level of sympathy for prince harry.
5:18 am
another told me he also thinks he's interest is growing. it's been everywhere in the new york times we've seen leaks lately and no doubt despite the release of the netflix series backin release of the netflix series back in december which many of us watched, interest still continues to be growing. here in central singapore they have about 200 books for sale and are telling me they are likely to sell out, going for about 60 singaporean dollars, that's 45 us dollars or £37. huge markup on the price you can get it for any uk and us. there is number one book on amazon and barnes and noble is so some level of interest. perhaps more than i would have expected. much of it comes as part of a global rollout. has only been translated to chinese but it's been translated to 16 languages around the world. and we saw the legs last week after it was sold slightly earlier in spain that had been expected. no doubt many still coming today to keep buying up these books. katie in singapore, thank you.

5:20 am
choice. 0ne charities of prince harry's choice. one of the charity in africa that helps children who are suffering with hiv and aids and another is based in the uk. if an abortion will be donated to charity. if you consider —— a significant portion will be donated. in some retailers were hearing it's being sold half price to get more people in the door, and he will have to sell potentially tens of thousands of copies to just make that first number there. so lots of money, lots of money behind this and expected to make millions. what kind of international interest is the book expected to have? you said the need to be an awful lot of sales?- you said the need to be an awful lot of sales? there does need to be _ awful lot of sales? there does need to be alive _ awful lot of sales? there does need to be alive interest - awful lot of sales? there does need to be alive interest and l need to be alive interest and we will say that press is bad press, all the leaks you mentioned from spain, the initial pre— release have drummed up the great storm of controversy around the world, from france to the us, people have been hooked on the legs, they have been coming out from this book. whether you follow
5:21 am
on one side or the other, some people say they're a bit tired of the saga, particularly in the us where they were sympathy before, or if you follow the other side, you have to guarantee the people are interested, for example, penguin random house in the us has already ordered 2.5 million copies and we can look at those statistics there as well. it helps us grasp the level of the sheer scale of this, and it was number one on amazon and the us in britain, even in the days leading up to its release, so that gives you a idea of the scale of interest behind the book, and as katie mentioned, it's been released on 16 languages. 50 it's been released on 16 languages-— languages. so plenty of international— languages. so plenty of international interest i languages. so plenty of. international interest right now. naomi, thank you. let's catch up with all the latest sports news. hello. i'm tulsen tollett and thius is your sports news, where we start with football, and arsenal have set up a fourth—round fa cup tie with manchester city

5:26 am
fearing the worst come after the government says its support for in terms of energy costs will be coming to an and. and you can get in touch with me and the team on twitter — i'm @samanthatvnews. 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,
5:27 am
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,
5:28 am
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 tuesday, 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.
