tiger bech was a former all—ivy league kick returner, playing for the princeton tigers from 2016 to 2018. his brotherjack has been speaking to my colleague sumi somaskanda. obviously, it's pretty tough losing somebody like my brother. he was such a great person. he has so many friends. if i were to put an announcer to say to stand up if you were tiger's best friend, hundreds of people would stand up. it hurts, you know? that was my best friend. looked at him, looked at him, looked up to him for everything. he was my role model, my inspiration. all i ever wanted to do wasjust make him proud. he was so selfless and kind, resilient. my parents and my sisters have been pretty emotional as you could think.

i just try to be there to be that rock for them. it's definitely been pretty tough, though. jack, you've been talking a little bit about the fact that you spoke to your brother on the phone just hours before new year's eve. can you tell us a bit about that conversation? yeah. it was just another phone call. like i said, that's my best friend, my inspiration, my role model. we talked every day. he was the first person i told about whatever it was, good, bad and different. i talked to him so much. we thought it was going to be another regular conversation. i was just showing him i was at my uncle's house in dallas and he was in new orleans with my parents eating, and i was showing him what we were eating and he was showing us what he was eating. but the last words that we ever told each other was, i told him to be safe and that i loved him

and he told me how much he loved me. hung up the phone and that was the last time i ever spoke with him. tell us a bit more about your brother. you said he's your role model, your best friend. quite the football player as you are, as well. oh, yeah. he was a beast in every in every way in life. uh, you know, his name was tiger, and it was very, very fitting. um, you know, he was a go getter. you know, he was a smaller guy, five eight, five nine. and from a young age, hejust fought. he was always a fighter. whatever it was, whether it was in sports, whether it was at just wherever it may be, in every facet. he's touched so many lives and impacted so many lives. and, um, you know, me and my family, this is something that we're going to have to deal with. you know, every time we wake up and every time we go to sleep, um, it's going to be something, you know, every holiday there's going to be an empty seat at the table.

but he wouldn't want us to grieve and mourn. you know, he'd want us to keep attacking life. to go and do what he did. be resilient, charismatic, loving, kind. he'd want us to go and be there for each other in all our different endeavours. and he wasjust, like i said, my role model. my family's role model. my family's going to miss him so much. my mum and my dad have done such an awesome jobjust raising me and my three siblings. you know, we're so close. us three. so many people always tell us they've never seen siblings so close like this ever before. and the first thing i told my parents and my family was because, like i said, he lives up in new york, and we're just all scattered across the country. and i told him instead of, you know,

instead of only seeing him a couple of times a year, now he'll be with us in every moment, you know, in every part of our lives. talking about his brother who he lost in that attack. we will be speaking to a cbs correspondent later in the bulletin. in south korea and after a dramatic six—hour long standoff with security, south korean police have called off an attempt to arrest suspended president yoon suk yeol. if they had been successful, yoon would have become the first sitting president to be arrested in south korea's the political drama began on december 3rd when mr yoon tried to impose martial law, shaking the country and reminding people of the dark days of military rule. days of protests followed, culminating in parliament voting to impeach him on 14th

december, their second attempt to do so. investigators have until 6 january to arrest him before the current warrant expires. with all the latest on friday's developmentsjean mckenzie sent this report from seoul. the stand—off started before dawn. police blocked the roads around the president's home, pushing back his incensed supporters. as the sun rose, the first officers ran up to his house to make the arrest, but they were unable to get in — blocked by the president's security team, who refused to open the door. by lunchtime, the officers had given up — an arrest was impossible, they said. mr yoon may have been suspended, stripped of his power, but still his security is protecting him. it's been exactly a month since president yoon plunged his country into crisis, imposing martial law, ordering troops to storm the parliament. he quickly reversed the decision, but he's being investigated for starting an insurrection, and he's refused to cooperate with authorities — ignoring all requests

to come in for questioning. his supporters have camped out around his home, also determined to block his arrest. this is totally uncharted territory for south korea — it is the first time a sitting president here has ever faced an arrest, and even though most people here are still so upset about his decision to try to bring the country under martial law, the core of his supporters here have stayed loyal to him, and they have surrounded the president's residence this morning, they're riled up and angry, and they've been spurred on by the president himself, who has thanked them for working so hard to defend him. they chant the same unfounded conspiracy theories mr yoon himself has alluded to — that last year's elections were rigged, and the country has been infiltrated by pro—north korean forces. we will fight. and... they have to... they have to kill me first before they arrest

president yoon. that will not happen — never again. i am ready to lie down and be killed by the communist elements. mr yoon swore he'd fight this until the end. this is exactly what he, his security, and his supporters are doing. jean mackenzie, bbc news, seoul. let's speak to naymo kim, a south korean journalist who has been following developments. i gather that you were down where the protesters were. can you just tell us what it was like down there and who was on the streets?— the streets? the area surrounding - the streets? the area surrounding yoon - the streets? the areaj surrounding yoon suk the streets? the area - surrounding yoon suk yeol's residence it is kind of become a focal point for opponents and supporters. that meant the atmosphere there has been incredibly charged and tense. very large crowds have

gathered. it is virtually impossible to go anywhere near his residence. it is kind of by a usually very traffic filled thoroughfare, so it is almost impossible to approach that area unless you walk there. and what was very interesting to me was the very large presence of young korean men in their 20s, 30s, even some young teenage boys there. what they told me is they are there to support yoon suk yeol because they have been frustrated by what they call disadvantages, policies, pro—women policies from previous leftist administration. they say that yoon suk yeol's strong national security policies resonate with them and that is why they have gathered there. it seems to me that these young men have been grouped together by several

youtubes, streamers, with a lot of subscribers, which was very different from other protests in south korea that i have seen. �* in south korea that i have seen. ~ . , ., seen. and anti-corruption investigators _ seen. and anti-corruption investigators have - seen. and anti-corruption investigators have called l seen. and anti-corruption i investigators have called for the... to intervene so that they can arrest yoon suk yeol. does that seem likely and what would be the impact of that if it does happen?— it does happen? right, well, investigators _ it does happen? right, well, investigators may _ it does happen? right, well, investigators may attempt i it does happen? right, well, j investigators may attempt to enforce the current arrest warrant before it expires. as your correspondent told us, it expires this coming monday. and they have, investigators, have inferred that they would need additional police report due to additional police report due to a very fierce resistance on the part of yoon suk yeol's secret service. we also have to remind ourselves he still holds the position. he is unable to

perform his duties as president but he still holds the position, which is why he is backed by the secret service detail. , , , , backed by the secret service detail. ,, ., _ detail. just briefly, obviously south korea _ detail. just briefly, obviously south korea has _ detail. just briefly, obviously south korea has also - detail. just briefly, obviously| south korea has also suffered this plane crash. it has obviously been a very dramatic time in the country. are those two events being seen together in any way or is that event having a political impact? yes, stranael having a political impact? yes, strangely enough _ having a political impact? yes, strangely enough those - having a political impact? yes, strangely enough those two i strangely enough those two events, the yoon suk yeol situation and the aviation disaster, they are somewhat loosely linked because the airport where the disaster happened is in an area which has almost 90% backing for the progressives. and many people are saying that the airport should not have been built because there was already another airport only 30 minutes from this one. so the situation

is making the political turmoil here in south korea even worse because as investigators are looking into the possible causes of the aviation disaster as well. a , causes of the aviation disaster as well. n, , ., causes of the aviation disaster as well. , ., ., as well. many thanks for “oininu as well. many thanks for joining us- _ as well. many thanks for joining us. just - as well. many thanks for joining us. just to - as well. many thanks for joining us. just to bring l as well. many thanks for i joining us. just to bring you as well. many thanks for - joining us. just to bring you a further update on that... air crash investigators have begun removing the wreckage of thejeju air boeing, which crashed on landing at muan airport on sunday. 179 people died — there were just two survivors. the plane crashed after reporting a bird strike when it reached the runway, its landing gear was not down, and it skidded into a concrete mound. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

how do you provide care for older or disabled people that struggle with day to day

tasks like washing, dressing themselves, eating and taking medication, especially as we live longer? also, who should pay for it. it's something that every nation has to tackle. well proposals on the long term funding of social care in england are unlikely to be delivered before 2028 at the earliest according to the government. but councils and care providers say it is too long to wait for reform of vital services which are already on their knees. wes streeting is the health and social care secretary — he had this to say when asked about the review, and whether it was enough to solve the problems the sector is facing. we are gripping the social care crisis, that we are looking to stabilise the sector over the next 12—24 months, but also to deliver the reforms that we need for the medium and the long term to make sure that we have got a national care service that's fit to meet the needs of older and disabled people in our country. i wish we could fix these problems faster but i don't have a magic wand.

let's speak to our political correspondent leila nathoo. it is one all the parties here in the uk have grappled with for a long time and they have already been a number of reviews so why another one? well, in wes streeting's view it is finally time to get cross—party consensus. as you say, there have been various attempts at this before but there is a confluence of issues which are plaguing the social care sector. not only the issue of funding but also with the workforce, more than 100,000 vacancies for carers. so there are major structural issues that this review is going to address and i think that is why the government thinks it is allowing this amount of time. the urgency of the situation is only getting more acute by the year. we have an ageing population of course. there is also the corresponding pressures on the nhs. you heard wes streeting in that clip

saying they're trying to alleviate some of those pressures on the social care sector immediately. they're sector immediately. they�* re putting sector immediately. they're putting in a bit more money they say to help elderly people for example with home adjustments, so perhaps they don't have to go into care homes. they have given local authorities a bit more money. to try to provide some of the services. but it is a huge question and there is a sense of optimism i think, perhaps naive optimism on behalf of the labour government that they are able to forge a previous consensus in the way that previous comments have failed. when other governments have proposed major changes to how the social care system works, they have quickly been seized upon by their opponents, including labour when they were including labour when they were in opposition. you will remember theresa may for example back in the 2017 election campaign proposing changes to social care. her changes to social care. her change was branded a dementia tax. similarly, gordon brown's bands were branded a death tax by the conservatives. she could

see how this becomes highly politicised in advance of an election campaign. this review is going to report in 2028, just a year out from the next general election. labour's hope is that all the political parties in this intervening period will have agreed on the best strategy to confront... in the hope that come this election in all those years' time that it won't be pounced upon and turned against them. let's get more on our top story now and that interview by cbs by the brother of the attacker. let's speak to cbs reporter kati weis who is in new orleans. it is certainly a question that is on everyone's mines when something horrific like this happens is who was this person and why could this have happened? now we're finally

getting some more information, some more details about this person directly from his brother. his brother spoke with us, did not want to share his name but told us that he was shocked by what happened. he said that he originally when he heard about this attack he just assumed it was someone having mental health crisis and delete my old maybe was somebody angry. he had no idea, never would have suspected it was his own brother. just for some context, he and his brother are 18 years apart but we are learning that they did get closer recently due to some health issues in theirfamily that someone else in their family was dealing with. we also know that the brother of the suspect says that the suspect was kind, caring, compassionate. he says it is a description that is completely opposite to how now the entire world is viewing this person, the suspect, who police say carried out this horrific attack that claimed the lives

of 1a innocent people who were just how here on bourbon street don't have a good time bringing in the new year. tell don't have a good time bringing in the new year.— in the new year. tell us what he also says _ in the new year. tell us what he also says about _ in the new year. tell us what he also says about whether. in the new year. tell us what i he also says about whether the family saw any signs of what was to come, any signs of radicalisation.— was to come, any signs of radicalisation. know, as far as the brother — radicalisation. know, as far as the brother has _ radicalisation. know, as far as the brother has explained - radicalisation. know, as far as the brother has explained so i the brother has explained so far he said there were no signs at all. again, more reason for his total shock after learning what had happened. he says that in fact, quote, what had happened. he says that infact, quote, he what had happened. he says that in fact, quote, he grew out his beard and he became more modest in his dressing but that was really the only kind of small sign that he noticed at all, if anything. he also said that essentially, quote, nobody had seen anything like this coming. so really the brother tells us that this seem to have come out of left field. that this seem to have come out of left field-— of left field. and i know cbs has also got _ of left field. and i know cbs has also got another - of left field. and i know cbs l has also got another interview with someone who knew the attacker from with someone who knew the

attackerfrom his with someone who knew the attacker from his army days? yes. this is an army body of the suspect, who also spoke with hers. his name is trevor neil, he lives in texas. remember, the suspect is from texas. he rented a car and drove to new orleans to carry out the attack specifically on new year's eve or early morning hours of new year's day. trevor neil though, the army friend, who served with the suspect, says quote, i was floored. i couldn't talk for 20 or 30 seconds. i wasjust like couldn't talk for 20 or 30 seconds. i was just like oh, couldn't talk for 20 or 30 seconds. i wasjust like oh, my god. oh, my god. oh, my god. that isa god. oh, my god. oh, my god. that is a direct quote that the friend had to say. another quote, he says, yesterday i just couldn't believe this. i was floored. he says that his friend was a, quote, normal individual, no red flags. the great soldier. a great soldier, i think that is an interesting

takeaway to learn from the people who seem to have known the suspect on intimately than any of us ever have.— the suspect on intimately than any of us ever have. thank you so much- _ any of us ever have. thank you so much. staying _ any of us ever have. thank you so much. staying in _ any of us ever have. thank you so much. staying in the - any of us ever have. thank you so much. staying in the us! i the fbi says it's been unable to establish a definitive link between the new orleans attack, and a tesla cybertruck which exploded outside a trump hotel in las vegas. the driver was killed in the explosion. las vegas police have identified 37—year—old matthew alan livelsberger as the man who rented the vehicle and drove it from colorado to las vegas. his badly—burnt body had a bullet wound to the head. police say he appeared to have killed himself while setting off explosives in his vehicle. our correspondent in las vegas is lilyjamali. i'm standing in front of the trump international hotel in las vegas,

where there remains an enhanced law enforcement presence. one day after a tesla cybertruck packed with fireworks and camping gas exploded at the entrance. that explosion killed the person driving the vehicle and also inflicted minor injuries on seven other people. 37—year—old matthew livelsberger of colorado springs, colorado, but they are still awaiting confirmation. the driver's body, they say, was burned beyond recognition, but they did confirm that the driver of the vehicle suffered a gunshot wound to the head. now, there are a number of parallels between what happened here and what took place on the same day in new orleans. both incidents, of course, taking place on new year's day, both involving members of the military who were born in the united states. we also know from law enforcement that both men used the same service, a company called turo, to rent the vehicles that were involved in these attacks. while law enforcement officials say that the attack in new orleans was an act of terrorism, they're not saying that that was necessarily

the case here. here in las vegas, the attack is being investigated as an entirely separate incident. the motive remains unclear, but one official on thursday did say that it's not lost on authorities that this attack took place in front of a trump property and involved a tesla vehicle. the fbi is asking for leads, and so far they say they've gotten hundreds of tips. there's been a change at the top of tech giant meta — owner of facebook, whatsapp and instagram. the former british deputy prime minister nick clegg is stepping down from his role as chief global affairs officer at the firm. he is being replaced byjoel kaplan, a prominent republican. the change at the top of meta's policy and communications team comes weeks ahead of the inauguration of president—elect donald trump, who has had a fractious relationship with meta co—founder mark zuckerberg. apple has agreed to pay 95 million dollars to settle a lawsuit in the us accusing its voice assistant siri of listening in on private conversations. users of apple devices such as iphones, ipads

and homepods claimed that siri sometimes recorded them even when it had not been activated by a wake word. they also accused apple of sharing the data with other companies. the tech giant maintains it did not do anything wrong. if approved by the court, users involved in the class action could receive up to 20 dollars each. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. it has been a cold, frosty start to the day and we are going to see this cold snap continuing right through the middle of next week. some potentially disruptive weather on the way into the weekend, sharp frosts, a risk of some icy conditions and, for some of us, some disruptive snowfall, especially late saturday into sunday. cold air mass is with us at the moment. the winds are coming in from north—west, so they a re bringing some snow showers to north—east scotland. a brisk breeze down the east coast of england and a few

more showers filtering in for western scotland, northern ireland, north—west england, so some icy stretches around. quite a bit of sunshine for most of us. a relatively calm sort of day and temperatures generally about two to six degrees for most of us. into the evening hours, we've still got some wintry showers in the north—west, so there could be further icy stretches here. some mist, some freezing fog patches developing through the midlands, east anglia, as well, and a cold night with temperatures subzero in our towns and cities, but colder than that in the more rural spots. it is through the weekend that we see the weather turning more disruptive. some of us see a risk of significant snow. if you don't see much snow, you might see the wind and the rain too. quite a quiet start to saturday. chilly, frosty with some lingering fog around. the cloud increasing from the south—west ahead of this area of rain as that bumps into this cold air in place. top temperatures just three or four degrees for most of us. colder than that for scotland. that rain is going to turn into snow, so a period of snow for a time for parts of wales, southern and central england, as well. that pushes into northern england, northern ireland. we'll see the snowfall

becoming quite persistent. further south it will turn quite quickly back to rain. so much milder air, brisker winds working into the south, but across northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england too, especially over the higher ground, that snowfall is really going to be mounting up through the day on sunday. to the south of that, with the milder air, it will be falling as rain. look at that contrast in temperature — 13 in london, just two degrees in aberdeen on sunday. it's through this zone, through the central slice of the british isles, really, that we could see 20 to 40cm of snow over the higher routes in particular. that has got the potential to cause some significant disruption. eventually, we will lose this low pressure during monday and that will open the doors again to a cold air mass coming in with further wintry showers. so, yes, a milderspell for some of us in the south for a time, but things turn cold again into next week with further wintry showers in the forecast. do keep up to date

with the warnings.
