10:16 am
at the moment, as you just showed the scenes of demonstration right outside mr yoon's official residence, i was there earlier, it's incredibly charged. the atmosphere is very different from that of the protests outside the national assembly because these are real die—hard, pro—yoon and anti—yoon supporters. right outside i saw some scuffling, physical scuffling between some of the supporters. we have fairly heavy snow here. also freezing temperatures, many of them braving out the freezing temperatures for several nights in a rowjust to support or oppose mr yoon.
10:17 am
authorities are expected to try and make another attempt to detain him. as you said, the warrant expires this coming monday. it's sunday here now, so they they may or they may not. if they do make another attempt, we will most likely know about an hour or so beforehand because of the distance between the investigative body to mr yoon's residence. we might actually know a little bit earlier because it will take them longer due to the heavy snow. six days of funeral events are under way for former us presidentjimmy carter, who died last sunday at the age of 100. his body was taken through his home town of plains in georgia on saturday and ended with a private service at the carter presidential center where he will remain until tuesday. carl nasman is there.
10:18 am
the day's funeral proceedings ending here at the carter center in atlanta with an emotional private service among the family members ofjimmy carter here, as well as members of the carter center. but this has really been a day where the motorcade retraced the steps, almost literally, of the former president throughout his home state, beginning where he was born and raised in plains, georgia, on a small peanut farm, and then working his way through crowds of people lining streets and lining highways towards atlanta, stopping for a moment of silence, of course, at the georgia capitol, where he of course was once governor of this state. and now the public will get their chance. they'll be filing in behind us in the carter center to see his body in repose over the next couple of days. but looking ahead, this multi—day state funeral will continue come tuesday in washington, dc. the 39th president's remains will be flown there and laid to rest for two days in the capitol rotunda, and then we'll see that national funeral take place on nine january. that's where lawmakers, politicians, and of course presidents will be, not only the 0bamas and the clintons
10:19 am
but also the current president and the future president. donald trump has said that he'll be here, despite some acrimony between him andjimmy carter over the years. we also know, of course, jimmy carter has been a friend and ally ofjoe biden over the years. biden as a senator was the first democrat to endorsejimmy carter back during his presidential run in 1976. it's something carter never forgot, and before he passed away, he requested that joe biden give the eulogy at that funeral. a vigil has been held in new orleans to remember the victims of the new year's day terrorist attack mourners gathered on bourbon street, where 1a people were killed when shamsud—dinjabbar, a a2—year—old texas resident, drove a rental truck at high—speed into a crowd. families and members of the community gathered to remember the dead and a minute's silence was held.
10:20 am
photos and candles were left at the memorial and a jazz band played to honour the dead — a nod to the city's musical history. the leader of british political party reform uk, nigel farage, has defended elon musk in an interview with the bbc after the tech billionaire made a series of comments criticising british politicians on his social media platform x. it comes amid rumours that mr musk may donate a significant amount of money to mr farage's party. 0ur political correspondent helen catt has the story. he is the richest man in the world, best known as a tech billionaire — the owner of social media site x and electric car—maker tesla, and soon to be part of the us government. but elon musk has also been weighing in on uk politics. he has backed nigel farage, snapped here together at donald trump's mar—a—lago resort last month, with reports he is considering donating a sizeable sum to reform uk. but he has also been highly critical of keir starmer�*s government in increasingly
10:21 am
provocative social media posts. speaking to the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg, mr farage defended mr musk�*s right to say what he chooses. you know, in public life, tough things get said. they get said by both sides of the debate. you're right, this man happens to be the richest man in the world. but equally — equally — the fact that he's bought twitter now actually gives us a place where we have a proper, open debate about many things. and hey — even facebook, even meta, are adjusting to the modern world. free speech is back. we may find it offensive, but it's a good thing, not a bad thing. in recent days, mr musk has accused the prime minister of being complicit in the scandal of grooming gangs. he has also accused the government ministerjess phillips of being a "rape apologist" for refusing a national inquiry into the issue. and he has called for stephen yaxley—lennon, better known as tommy robinson, to be released from prison. that is likely to be uncomfortable for mr farage, who has repeatedly made it clear he does not support
10:22 am
the former head of the english defence league. nigel farage has been keen to highlight his political friendship with one of the world's most influential billionaires and his proximity to american power. while he stresses he and mr musk don't always agree, things could get much trickier if mr musk continues his controversial interventions into politics this side of the pond. helen catt, bbc news. the first big film awards of the season take place later with the 82nd golden globes in los angeles. a win at the globes can boost a film's profile just as bafta and oscar voters are preparing to make their nominations. 0ur la correspondent emma vardy has more. the golden globes kicks off hollywood's awards season with what's known as the biggest party of the year. and i've been getting a little look at how the celebrities get ready. but first, the runners and riders. here we go. you're green.
10:23 am
iam. wicked, the wizard of oz reimagined, has been spellbinding audiences as a stage show for two decades. now, as one of the biggest films of the year, it could win best musical or comedy at the globes with cynthia erivo and ariana grande up for acting awards. are you...english? no, no, i'm not english...why? but the surprise stand—out with the most nominations is emilia perez, a film about a transgender mexican drug lord. kate winslet is nominated for her roles in the film lee and tv�*s the regime, while daniel craig and ralph fiennes are both up for best actor. denzel washington has his 11th golden globes nomination for gladiator 2. but awards season is about much more than the accolades. it's a chance for celebrities and designers to make their mark on the red carpet. so stylists like ceren are busy behind the scenes. how you look, the appearance is the most important thing on the red carpet. how do you decide what dress a celebrity should wear?
10:24 am
i work according to their personality, their style. you imagine it first and then when you see it on the red carpet and then when people love it or like it, you feel satisfied. having a dress is one thing, but it's nothing without the right pose, because even if you are not walking away with an award, getting snapped with a memorable look on the red carpet... right...next. ..will mean media attention in magazines and keep celebrities in the spotlight. 0k. love it. and it's always good to have a quick change for the after party, because of all the awards, the golden globes is known as the biggest knees—up of the lot. i think we are red carpet ready. the sky's the limit. and the night could also hold clues for who may do well at the oscars later in the season. emma vardy, bbc news, los angeles. # 0hh—hhhhh! stay with us here on bbc news.
10:25 am
hello. heavy snow has been pushing northwards across parts of the country through the night and during sunday morning already, and we've got more disruptive wintry weather on the cards over the next 2a hours or so. amber warnings in force still for snow and ice so we could see disruption to travel. potential for power cuts as well. first amber warning is in force across north wales and the north midlands, that expires at midday, but this one across northern england, that's going to be in force right until midnight tonight. there could be as much as a0cm of snow over the highest ground in the north pennines, for instance. we'll see snow continuing for the rest of the day for
10:26 am
the pennines, cumbrian fells, southern uplands as well. it will tend to gradually turn back to rain though further south into the midlands, north wales too. northern ireland, seeing a bit of wintriness too, and icy conditions really chilly in the north but very mild in the south. big contrast in temperature, 13 in london, just a degree above freezing though for aberdeen, where we might see a bit of sunshine, but also further wintry showers, icy conditions into the evening and tonight. more snowfall to come across eastern scotland, parts of southern scotland and northern england as well. further south it'll mainly be falling as rain, could be a bit of snow over the mountains of wales, for instance. really mild overnight, though, again for south—east england and east anglia. contrast that to the rest of the country though, where we're going to get down below freezing in the more rural spots. do expect some hazardous, slippery, icy wintry weather first thing tomorrow. now, low pressure tomorrow eases away towards the east and that will leave us with some slightly less persistent and heavy snowfall, but still some snow to come for again parts of the pennines, southern uplands, highlands as well. some wintry showers so could be some rain, sleet and hill snow for northern ireland, north wales, northwest england, down towards the midlands as well. bit of sunshine around
