are all in the running for top prizes. hello, 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 and the midlands. 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, but an announcement is expected soon on whether or not it will be reopened. after earlier closures, the runways at liverpool and manchester airports have now reopened — but there are warnings of more delays

and disruption to come. our correspondent nicky schiller has been getting the latest in leeds. we're about five miles from leeds bradford airport and you can see why that runway is closed. the snow is still coming down here in leeds. this is in 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 expecting and some areas already getting snow. you mentioned that 40cm of snow. there is a concern that that will be in the pennines area which is high up, but we are already seeing 12cm of snow in bingley and ten centimetres of snow in shap in cumbria. and you can just see if i show you my boot here that this is quite deep here. this has been settling overnight and you know, i can get my hand clearly into there so you can see the amount of snow that has fallen here. and it's been falling like this for a good 3 or 4 hours now.

now the issues with the airports are beginning to ease, as you mentioned, in manchester and liverpool, but we are now looking at disruption on the trains because of course, when snow and ice falls on those lines and the trains start operating, they find that they can't always get through. so northern rail have got cancellations and delays. so have scotrail. and so down in the south west of england have gwr. so what is the picture across here in west yorkshire and north yorkshire? well my colleague eunice muller is in harrogate in north yorkshire and has this update for us. well, 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 will 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 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 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. if you look at the south of england again, airports have been affected, their 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 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'll 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. yeah, that is good advice to try and keep warm. the advice from national highways is if you don't have to go out on the roads today, then don't. but if you are going out on the roads, then make sure you are prepared. have things like water, a blanket, also a fully charged mobile phone. as you can see here in leeds, there have been cars going by and people are getting out and about. i think it's eased slightly by the fact that it is a sunday today, and people haven't had to go into work like they would have

to on a work day. there's also some good news for football fans. of course, there is a very big game at anfield that is this afternoon between liverpool and manchester united. there was a meeting of the safety team this morning at liverpool and at the moment, that game is going ahead. they will have another meeting at middayjust to make sure that everything is all right. but they are also telling fans to be really careful about travelling to that game and don't take any unnecessary risks. so what can we expect for the rest of today? what is the situation at the moment in terms of the weather? sarah keith—lucas is from the bbc weather centre and gave us this update a little earlier. this has been forecast for several days now, hasn't it? and it is going to plan. we are seeing that heavy snow 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, and particularly over the higher ground of the northern pennines, for instance. that's where we could see 40cm. 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 milderair is kicking in and we've got really heavy rain around as well. so it's wet in the south, it's 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 show. so up to 40cm. 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. that's sarah keith—lucas and of course, you can get a weather forecast for where you are on the bbc weather website and app. northern ireland seems to have escaped most of the weather. a different kettle of fish in the republic of ireland. there, they have 28,000 people without power at the moment trying to reconnect them. now we have a live page up and running on the bbc news website and app, with the very latest from our correspondents across the country. there's all that information about which rail

services are running and indeed about the airports. a reminder that leeds bradford here still has its runway shut. thanks very much for that in west yorkshire. in gaza, there have been reports of further israeli strikes overnight. local officials say areas of the central part of the strip have been hit. the attacks come after prime minister benjamin netanyahu said that israel planned to resume indirect talks with hamas to end the war. let's speak to our correspondent in jerusalem jonah fisher. bring us up to date, if you could, and these latest attacks. could, and these latest attacke— attacks. those strikes continued _ attacks. those strikes continued overnight, l attacks. those strikes i continued overnight, as attacks. those strikes - continued overnight, as you mention, in the central part of gaza, in particular. we are hearing hearing reports that at least ten people were killed. in a central part of gaza, also report elsewhere. it has clearly been a very bloody few

daysin clearly been a very bloody few days in both central and northern gaza. the hamas run ministry of health but as one of their regular updates at this morning, saying that 88 people had been killed in the last 2a hours, bringing the total to more than 200 since thursday. we've also heard from the idf in the last 2a hours and it it is clear that they have been striking a lot as well. they said that they had had about 100 sites over the weekend and some of those sites, websites use to launch the project how rock is out of gaza towards israel —— project how rockers out of gaza towards israel. they were to hit those rockets were rockers are being lodged out of.— rockets were rockers are being lodged out of. meanwhile, when ou sa s lodged out of. meanwhile, when you says that — lodged out of. meanwhile, when you says that israel _ lodged out of. meanwhile, when you says that israel intends - lodged out of. meanwhile, when you says that israel intends to l you says that israel intends to resume indirect talks with hamas? . , ,

hamas? that is right, there is a delegation _ hamas? that is right, there is a delegation from _ hamas? that is right, there is a delegation from israel- a delegation from israel containing security ages, from my side, israeli defense forces in qatar, holding talks with mediated and effectively, that is a way that it communicates with hamas through a group of mediators that have in the past included the the qatari government and the united states. those talks are continuing with a view to try to find some sort of ceasefire agreements that it might evolve the return of some of the hostages being held and have been held since the october seven attacks of 2023. those discussions are taking place and for much we have been hearing from the israeli side, they are hopeful, cautiously and are waiting for answers from hamas is to some of their queries about many of the outstanding issues relating to ending the conflict in gaza, in

terms of what happened next and what will be the israeli presence in gaza and any future arrangements, those are issues that the size are quite a long way apart on. the view is whether they can achieve some sort of preliminary agreements that will see some of the hostages to return for some sort of ceasefire and to try and build to a more permanent agreement. flan and build to a more permanent agreement-— and build to a more permanent agreement. can i 'ust asked you about lebanon _ agreement. can ijust asked you about lebanon because - agreement. can ijust asked you about lebanon because israel. about lebanon because israel hasissued about lebanon because israel has issued this warning to hezbollah about the ceasefire and activity near the border? yes, that is right. there has been a ceasefire in place in southern lebanon under since the end of november and the israeli defence minister, has been visiting the northern command today. he has had a few things to say and in particular, he sees that the agreement which ended that the

period of hostilities is not been on it and hezbollah is not a pulled back from the lakhani river, a river that runs across southern lebanon on, north of the border with israel although hezbollah is deal in that area. the lebanese military who are supposed to be destroying caches of hezbollah weapons and infrastructure, they have not been doing so. effectively, what he said is that if this agreement is not honoured, is run may have to act to try and make it possible for israeli residents who fled the northern part of that border to return it safely to their homes. just to give you an example of how things are going. 0n to give you an example of how things are going. on thursday of last week, said it struck rocket launchers in southern lebanon after it had identified them as a military installation. it had notified

the lebanese army and israel says that the lebanese army did not act to take as that rocket launcher so israel took matters into their own hands and struck and hit that target. indications from the israeli side that there frustrated that the deal that stopped hostilities as the end of november is not being honoured. thanks very much for now. jonah fisher live injerusalem. 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 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 once again gathered, both in support and opposition to president yoon. those who want to see him arrested immediately and those who want to try to stop it. and there's also a police presence out in the south could be korean capital. woongbee lee is editor of bbc korean. he told me about the attempts to arrest the former president. 0n on friday, the coi investigators went to the possession palace to try and execute the arrest warrant it but due to the political severity service and the military personnel in the presidents office than against them, making human walls and for that reason, the cod —— c0| could not enter and exit is the arrest warrant. after hours of stand off, the coi has sound of —— could have the arrest warrant citing percent over the

safety of people and their officers. since then, they have been as you mention, bright is going on in front of the president's office with both the supporters of the presses and the opponents are calling for a quick arrest of the president.— for a quick arrest of the president. , , , ., ., president. just explain what he would be arrested _ president. just explain what he would be arrested because - president. just explain what he would be arrested because of, | would be arrested because of, just explain with what happen of the martial law and what the arrest warrant actually says. the president has declared martial law on december the 3rd and the coi as national assembly called it illegal, saying that was an act of insurrection and fight an arrest warrant for the president and the coi, they issued was to investigate that before going into the impeachment process which will take more than 180 days for the results to come out. so, for this row is issued, it was to investigate what by the

president played in martial law. ~ ., ., president played in martial law. ~ ., . , president played in martial law. who are these officials protecting _ law. who are these officials protecting him? _ law. who are these officials i protecting him? presumably, protecting him ? presumably, they protecting him? presumably, they are being paid for by somebody, by him personally, or how does it work in terms of these people stopping the officials turning up to try and arrest him? it officials turning up to try and arrest him?— arrest him? it is the presidential - arrest him? it is the presidential security arrest him? it is the - presidential security service, a government body, that has always been there and the official reason, mentioned by the chief of the pss today, is that there are still some legal argument around whether this arrest warrant is due or not and that is why the psa —— pss say they are standing firm on the ground to fulfil their duty of protecting the president. where is the acting president in all of this?— in all of this? the acting president _ in all of this? the acting president is _ in all of this? the acting president is still - in all of this? the acting president is still in - in all of this? the acting j president is still in place in all of this? the acting - president is still in place and he has been requested by the opposition party to make more firm request to the

presidential security service to abide to the investigators arrest warrant, however the pss, the political security service, is still saying the same thing that the current president, president yoon suk yeol�*s arrest is still debatable. 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. mr musk 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 reform uk, nigel farage, has defended elon musk in an interview with the bbc. 0ur political correspondent, harry farley, joined me a little earlier and started with telling us more about what wes streeting has been saying. the horrific sexual abuse of vulnerable girls by gangs, often of asian men, in towns like 0ldham, rochdale, rotherham. none of that is new, but it's

re—emerged this week because, as you say, from that criticism orfrom elon musk, the billionaire owner of x, he said, as you mentioned, jess phillips was a rape genocide apologist and should be in prison, particularly for her refusal to launch a national inquiry. wes streeting, the shadow health secretary, her labour colleague, was asked what he made of of elon musk�*s comments earlier. disgraceful smear of a great woman who has spent her life supporting victims of the kind of violence that elon musk and others say they're against. and it's all very well sitting there... and i'm notjust talking about musk, i'm talking about armchair critics on social media. it's all very easy to sit there and fire off something in haste and click send. when people like keir starmer and jess phillips have done the hard yards of actually locking up wife beaters, rapists, paedophiles. just explain if you can though, harry, what the situation is with terms of the public inquiries and what labour have done on this issue.

well, so this morning, actually, we have a letter from yvette cooper, the home secretary, in which she defends that decision not to hold a national inquiry. she says in the case of 0ldham in particular, a local investigation is more appropriate. and she points to the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse, which spent seven years looking into this issue, reported back in 2022. and in a letter to conservative shadow ministers who had written to her earlier this week, she says that of the 20 recommendations included in that final inquiry report, the previous government, ie the conservatives, failed to fully implement a single one. so that's her response to why labour are not holding a national inquiry. they say, well, there already was one. it took seven years, it reported in 2022. we're focusing on implementing those recommendations. of course, elon musk, not only is he a billionaire owner of x, a very influential social media platform, he is also supported reform uk.

nigel farage. there are rumours of a possible donation to that political party which could be quite influential. nigel farage, you know, was asked about his ally, his supporter elon musk. and he defended him this morning. musk describes himself as a free speech absolutist. now...now you know what he's referring to. there specifically is that in 2008, keir starmerwas hadjust been appointed as director of public prosecutions, and there was a case brought before them of alleged mass rape of young girls that did not lead to a prosecution. i don't know the rights and wrongs of that any more than you do. but the point... but if you believe in free speech, people are allowed to have an opinion. what did he say about the potential donation from elon musk specifically? well, he said that it was being discussed. he said that the 100 million that some had rumoured was for the birds, but he said that elon musk may well donate to reform uk.

so i think it's we're in a wait and see mode for that. it was interesting, i thought yvette cooper, i mentioned that letter that she had written to the conservatives earlier and that we've seen a copy of. she says in that letter that for years there has been a cross—party consensus on tackling child sexual abuse, and she hopes that will continue at the moment from all this, that looks unlikely. 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. 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. 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? 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! we will be talking to a film critic later on in the programme. to stay with us for that and also, if you do want to keep updated with what is going on on the roads and

trains, go to the bbc live page on the disruption caused by the snowy conditions. all of the updates with the airports. to say there and stay with us here on the bbc news channel. 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 40cm of snow over the highest ground in the north pennines,

for instance. we'll see snow continuing for the rest of the day for 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. furthersouth, 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 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.

this is bbc news, the headlines: manchester and liverpool airports reopen their runways after temporarily closing for a few hours, but passengers are warned of delays. the health secretary, wes streeting hits back at tech billionaire, elon musk, after his social media attacks on the uk government's response to grooming gangs. 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.

amber weather warnings remian in place in parts of northern england and the midlands after snow and ice brought disruption to parts of the uk. forecasters say up to a0 centimetres of snow could fall in some places, and temperatures could fall as low as minus 10 celsius. there's a warning of more delays and disruption to come. nicky schiller has spent the morning in leeds which has had significant showfall overnight.
