the british government. the 82nd golden globes will take place in los angeles later — wicked, emilia perez, conclave, and the brutalist are all in the running for top prizes. hello and welcome to the programme. heavy snow and freezing rain is causing widespread disruption across the uk with amber warnings in place in parts of northern england, the midlands and wales. forecasters say up to a0 centimetres of snow could fall in some places, and temperatures overnight fell as low as minus 11 celsius. the runway at leeds bradford airport is closed due to snow and ice. after being closed earlier, the runways at liverpool and manchester airports have now reopened, but there's a warning of more delays and disruption to come. let's go live now to west yorkshire, and our
11:01 am
correspondent nicky schiller who's there for us. how is it to there? yes, you mentioned _ how is it to there? yes, you mentioned it _ how is it to there? yes, you mentioned it leeds - how is it to there? yes, you mentioned it leeds a - how is it to there? yes, you l mentioned it leeds a bradford airport and we are about five miles from there. you see why it is code, there's no it is still coming down here in leeds and this is the amber warning area for snow and this covers a large part of northern england, including north yorkshire, west yorkshire. it goes up to northumberland and across to cumbria and those borders near scotland so a large area of england and some areas already getting snow. you mentioned that 40 getting snow. you mentioned that a0 centimetres of snow and there is concern that that will be in the pennines area, which is high up, but we are already seeing 12 centimetres of snow in beenleigh and ten centimetres in cambria. you can just see, if i show you my boot here that this has been saddling overnight and i can
11:02 am
get my hand clearly into there. you can see the amount of snow falling here and it has been falling here and it has been falling like this for a good three orfour falling like this for a good three or four hours at now. the issues with the apples are beginning to ease as he mentioned in manchester and liverpool —— back of the airports are beginning to ease. now we are looking as disruption on the trains because where snow and ice levels on this land, and the trends that operate in, they find they cannot always get through. northern rail have got cancellations and delays are so you have got and down the south—west of england have gwr. what is the picture across here in west yorkshire and north yorkshire? my colleague is in harrogate and has this update for us.
11:03 am
as you can see, it is snowing here in harrogate in north yorkshire. i was just listening to to that interview about snow ploughs and we've seen plenty of those here. in fact, at one stage there was one particular snow plough that got stuck. its wheels were going round and round for a good minute or so. so that gives you an idea of what the conditions are like here. that snow is settling and the chances are perhaps there'll be some rain later on to clear it. but at the moment, there's a lot of effort being made to clear some of the snow off close to buildings. there are people who are parked up who are trying to to leave harrogate. i was speaking to one woman earlier who has got a flight at leeds bradford airport, and that was meant to be this morning. she's now been told that will be later this afternoon. that's because of that runway closure. a number of runways have been closed at several airports, including leeds, bradford, liverpool, john lennon and manchester international airport as well. that runway has reopened, the one in manchester, so hopefully passengers who are trying to leave the country can do so later this afternoon, even
11:04 am
though there will be delays and inevitably, there are cancellations as well. now, we were told that the north of england would get a particularly bad, would bear the brunt of the heavy snow. and you can see that is exactly what has happened here. that's had obviously ruined some people's plans who may want to travel. that is, if you want to still travel in these conditions. the advice, of course, is to take something with you, like a blanket or a shovel or some food, just in case you get stuck away from the north of england. away from the north of england, if you look at the south of england again, airports have been affected. rail, trains are affected, homes there have been many homes have been left without power. earlier, there were around 2000 homes in the north west of england and a number of homes here in the yorkshire side of the north of england as well. so clearly, the snow is disrupting people's lives and this cold start
11:05 am
to the new year and 2025. now, as the day develops, we had one amber warning until around midday. there's the other amber warning for severe weather, which goes on until midnight, so people are still being warned about the impact this snow heavy snow can have and that freezing rain as well, which will make the conditions out there quite treacherous. now i can see a lot of people out and about well wrapped up keeping warm. and that, of course, is the advice. there will be those people, families, perhaps the children who will want to go out there and use that snow and try and have some fun with sledging and that kind of thing. but really there is there are alerts around from the uk health security agency. there will be vulnerable people out there as well. so please keep warm is the advice. that is good advice to try and keep warm. the advice of national highways is that trying not to go out but if you are going out, try and be prepared, have things like water, a blanket, also a fully
11:06 am
charged mobile phone. as you can see in these, there are cars that still going round and people are getting out and about and it is eased by the fact that it is sunday today and people would not have to go into work like they would on a work day. also some good news for football fans and there is a very big game at anfield this afternoon between liverpool and manchester united. there was a meaty with a safety team this morning at liverpool and at the moment, that game is going ahead to —— there was a meeting with the safety team. they will have another meeting at midday to make sure everything is going all right but they also telling fans to be really careful about travelling to that game and do not take any unnecessary risks. what can we expect for the rest of today? what is in terms of the weather? earlier, we werejoined by sarah keith—lucas from the bbc weather centre who gave us more insight on this. this has been forecast for several days now, hasn't it? and it is going to plan. we are seeing that heavy snow
11:07 am
and actually quite a large area has been hit through the course of the night. and early on this morning that snow swept right across much of england and wales, although it's turned back to rain in the south, now it is northern england that's going to be bearing the brunt of the worst of the snow. so not far from where you are, nikky. west yorkshire, this is todmorden. and actually if we take a look at snow depths across northern england, parts of wales into scotland as well, we've seen between around about 3 to 10cm for for many areas. bingley and west yorkshire now is up to 16cm of snow there, so these are the official weather observations. but some areas are seeing a lot more than this, particularly over the higher ground of the northern pennines, for instance. that's where we could see a0cm. so, so far, this is where we've seen snow falling. this is the recent radar. it's now starting to clear from north wales and the north midlands, but still persisting for much of northern england into southern scotland. bit of wintriness into northern ireland as well. so icy conditions for many. even if you haven't got the heavy snow now, further south you can see this large area of blue. the milder air is kicking in and we've got really heavy rain
11:08 am
around as well. so it's wet in the south, its white in the north. those amber warnings for snow and ice are continuing, the one towards the south. so this one here, north wales into the north midlands, that's going to expire fairly soon. so where we see the snow here turning back to rain, certainly a risk of some icy conditions. but it's across this warning area here across much of northern england that we're going to continue to see a lot more snow. so up to a0cm, and of course, we've heard about the disruption that's been ongoing today with all of the snow, with the ice as well. but as well it's going to be that heavy rain further south that's going to continue to cause, i think, disruption for the rest of the day. of course, you can get our weather forecast and when you are on the bbc weather website and at northern ireland seems to have escaped most of the weather, a different kettle of fish in the republic of ireland, they have 28,000 people without power, each trying to reconnect them. we
11:09 am
have a live page up and running on the bbc news website with the very latest from our correspondents across the country and there's all that information about which rail services are running and about the airports. a reminder that it leeds bradford bradford still has its runway shut. for my rather snowy leads here in west yorkshire and the rather nice warm studio here in london —— rock from the rather snowy leads. sorry about that, we will swap! thousands of supporters and opponents of south korea's suspended president have been on the streets of seoul for a second day. some stayed out all night , braving freezing temperatures and snow. many protesters are gathered around the official residence of president yoon suk yeol. investigators tried to get into the compound and arrest mr yoon on friday for declaring martial law. they were turned away by security personnel guarding the president. it's thought they may try to detain him again before
11:10 am
the arrest warrant expires at midnight on monday. this is the scene now live in seoul outside the presidential residence, where you can see protestors of president yoon suk yeol. there is also a huge police presence and there hasn't been for several hours. our correspondence from bbc career told me about the attempt to arrest the president. bi; arrest the president. by frida , arrest the president. by friday. they _ arrest the president. el: friday, they went to the president offers to execute the arrest warrant but due to the political service and the military personnel, they were standing against them and making human wards and for that reason, they could not enter and execute the arrest warrant and after hours of stand off, the c0 why have called of this warranty, citing concern over the safety of
11:11 am
people and their offices. since then, there have been, as you mention, protest —— in front of the presidentoffice with supporters of the president and opponents, calling for a quick arrest of the president. just ex - lain arrest of the president. just explain what _ arrest of the president. just explain what he _ arrest of the president. just explain what he would be arrested for, just expend what happened with the martial law and which the arrest warrant says. and which the arrest warrant sa s. , , ., , says. the president has declared _ says. the president has declared martial- says. the president has declared martial law . says. the president has declared martial law on j declared martial law on december the 3rd and at the coi december the 3rd and at the c01 and national assembly called it illegal, saying that that was an active insurrection and they have filed an arrest warrant for the president and the coi, the warrant issued is to investigate that before going into the impeachment process which would take 180 days —— more than 180 days for the results to come out. so for this warrant, it was to

11:13 am
to the president security service to abide to this investigation —— more firm requests to abide to this arrest warrant. however the political service is still saying the same thing that the current president, president yoon suk yeol�*s arrest is still debatable. 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 centre where he will remain until tuesday. carl nasman is there. today's funeral proceedings ended here at the carter centre in atlanta with an emotional private service among the family members ofjimmy carter here, as well as members of the carter centre. but this has really been a day
11:14 am
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 the 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 centre 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, d.c.. the 39th president's remains will be flown there, laid to rest for two days in the capitol rotunda. and then we'll see that national funeral take place onjanuary 9th. that's where lawmakers and politicians and, of course, presidents will be, not only the 0bamas and the clintons, but also the current president and the future president. donald trump has said that he'll be there, despite some
11:15 am
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 neverforgot, and before he passed away, he requested thatjoe 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 mourners gathered on bourbon street, where 1a people were killed when shamsud—din jabbar, 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. photos and candles were left at the memorial, and a jazz band played to honour the dead
11:16 am
— a nod to the city's musical history. now it's time for a look at today's sport. liverpool football club has confirmed that their match against manchester united is planned to go ahead for now. the club held a safety meeting with liverpool council to assess the weather and travel conditions for fans. there were concerns that snowy conditions around anfield could affect transport links for the a.30 match. a further safety meeting will take place again at midday to assess the latest conditions. the club says it will keep supporters updated. the early game on sunday is fulham against ipswich. they have much better players in my opinion there may be the league table shows at the moment and i think it is good to take a while to bring these other players but they were definitely go up and they are much, much, much betterthan the league table shows at the

11:18 am
extremely disappointed with the decision that led to the goal because i've never seen something like this in my life. there are six games in the scottish premiership later, in the early match, rangers kick off against hibs in edinburgh. motherwell play aberdeen, who've dropped to fourth after a bad run of form, while, top of the table celtic host st mirren. dundee united take on hearts. kilmarnock host ross county and stjohnstone play dundee. australia surged to victory on day three of the fifth test in sydney to beat india by six wickets and win the five—match series 3—1. fast bowler scott boland took 6 for a5 with india adding just 16 runs to their overnight score to be bowled out for 157. australia reached their target of 162 in just 27 overs to regain the border—gavaskar trophy. the result also sees pat cummins' side qualify for the world test championship final at lord's injune, where they will face south africa. a huge win. in the context of the series, it has the biggest

is that you can play at home. i felt like i was kind of seesaw throughout the whole so is to finish at 3—1 and told the driver was an amazing feeling and the extra layer is securing and the extra layer is securing a spot at the world championship final and it was always a huge goal for us championship final and it was always a huge goalfor us in a cycle and we have done it so yeah, really satisfied.- yeah, really satisfied. this was not — yeah, really satisfied. this was not this _ yeah, really satisfied. this was not this typical - yeah, really satisfied. this was not this typical sydney wicket, _ was not this typical sydney wicket, which we are used to. this— wicket, which we are used to. this is— wicket, which we are used to. this is how— wicket, which we are used to. this is how it needs to be played _ this is how it needs to be played and i know we talk a lot when _ played and i know we talk a lot when you — played and i know we talk a lot when you go home about two wickets — when you go home about two wickets but there is a public way — wickets but there is a public way to — wickets but there is a public way to get back home on the wicket— way to get back home on the wicket as _ way to get back home on the wicket as well so i think this is the — wicket as well so i think this is the interesting part in test cricket — japan's hideki matsuyama set a new 5a—hole tournament record at the pga tour season—opening event in hawaii. the overnight leader shot a 62 to move to 27 under par, but still only leads by one shot after collin morikawa also went round in 62. both players fell one shot short of equalling the course record on a day when virtually
11:20 am
no wind meant perfect conditions for low scores. more on all of this story is on the bbc sport website. that's it for now. the health secretary, wes streeting, has hit back at the billionaire, elon musk, after his attacks on the uk government's response to grooming gangs. the world's richest man said that sir keir starmer was "complicit in the rape of britain" and called the home office minister, jess phillips, an evil witch who should be locked up. meanwhile, 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. helen catt reports. he is the richest man in the world, best known as a tech billionaire, the owner of social media site
11:21 am
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 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
11:22 am
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 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
11:23 am
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. 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
11:24 am
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? 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
11:25 am
clues for who may do well at the oscars later in the season. emma vardy, bbc news, los angeles. # 0hh—hhhhh! thanks to emma for that. do stay with us here on bbc news. 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
11:26 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.
11:27 am
bit of sunshine around elsewhere but we're all in that colder air tomorrow, so temperatures in the afternoon between about two to 6 degrees on monday. and then, that colder air actually sticking with us for much of the week ahead. coming down from the arctic, you can see the blue colours showing that colder air mass with us. out in the atlantic weather fronts are going to try to move their way in. this one through the middle of the week has the potential to bring some rain, sleet and snow in the south, but i think generally it gets out of the way fairly quickly as higher pressure tends to build its way in. so temperatures remaining on the chilly side as we head through the course of next week. things are looking a bit quieter and drier from tuesday onwards, but do keep up to date with the latest warnings over the next 2a hours or so.
11:29 am
this is bbc news, the headlines: a severe weather alert is in place for parts of northern england and wales after heavy snow overnight, the conditions are causing travel disruption across the uk. manchester and liverpool airports reopen their runways after temporarily closing for a few hours, but passengers are warned of delays. thousands of supporters and opponents of south korea's suspended president, yoon suk yeol, are on the streets of seoul for a second day. this is the live scene in the capital. reform uk leader nigel farage defends elon musk over a series of critical posts on social media about the british government.
11:30 am
it's as the tech billionaire is said to be considering donating money to reform uk. the 82nd golden globes will take place in los angeles later, wicked, emilia perez, conclave, and the brutalist are all in the running for top prizes. now on bbc news: path to the presidency. caitriona has a well—deserved break, and we're very happy to have you joining us from london. i'm balancing my phone on five blocks of foolscap paper and a book and trying to lean it in the right wayjust so that you can see me, so i hope it works. a true broadcaster will find the angle. i'm the loose wheel. i'm the loose wheel in this operation. i know my role. how did you guys spend your new years, ringing in the new year? well, i had christmas off, and then they said come
