infact, it from the game is not acceptable. on any level. in fact, it borders negligence.p where there was a brilliant high scoring game at the rec where wasps scored seven tries as they beat bath 52—44. bath led 29—24 at half time, but wasps powered through in the end to get a fifth straight win. tom cruse here with the second of his tries. and tries from faf de clerc here and jono ross helped sale sharks to victory over worcester warriors. it finished 20—13 at the aj bell. and that's all the sport for now. hello. a spell of cold wintry january weather will be gradually easing through the weekend and into next week as things turn a little bit milder. but certainly on friday, we had a lot more snow for some parts of northern england. this was of the picture in cumbria. north wales, as well, had a lot of lying snow. into saturday, still the odd flurry of snow around but most places largely dry, very cold and frosty with some freezing fog as well. look at these temperatures, first thing saturday morning at dawn around —11 degrees or so, could be —15 across some of the shelte

infact, one they were as they head towards the finish., one german sailor was on for a metal before he hit a fishing boat and fell backjust 90 miles off the french coast. the first... his compatriot had that ten hour bonus. it meant he won the vendee globe atjust two and a half hours. the french president emmanuel macron said it made for something mythical. 0nce restrictions were over, they would be honoured in paris. this was the ninth addition of a race that happens every four years. just finishing his victory, just ask ellen macarthur. just how bad was it for?— just ask ellen macarthur. just how bad was it for? most scared of ever been. macarthur— bad was it for? most scared of ever been. macarthur was _ bad was it for? most scared of ever been. macarthur was 24 _ bad was it for? most scared of ever been. macarthur was 24 when - bad was it for? most scared of ever been. macarthur was 24 when she | bad was it for? most scared of ever i been. macarthur was 24 when she just been. macarthur was 24 when she 'ust made it. yannick �* been. ma

infact, iam part ofa panel that is looking at the covid case at the moment.bout that, but looking at that you are in this world of looking at protecting free speech, looking at who is speaking rather than with what kind of authority and how actionable it is. i think if somebody is out there saying, "inject bleach "into your arms, that's going to cure you" or "swallow domestos", that is clearly dangerous and crazy and that is going to endanger people. if it is people — and we know there are lockdown sceptics who are making the argument that lockdowns don't work or that you want herd immunity — i think i am in favour of allowing those to remain up, possibly with warnings, possibly with the tools that facebook have and other social media platforms that can suppress the virality of those kind of messages, but i think if you don't then what you are going to do is suppress those arguments into places like whatsapp, where they can't be seen and they can't be confronted. it is difficult because the very notion of an oversight board will sound to some people somewhat

typically it does, infact, it leans investigation? australia quite a lot. australia's casa, our regulator, has done extensive work with the indonesians, and certainly the standard of investigation in indonesia and oversight in indonesia is much, much higher than it has been in the past. but they still do called in experts, and of course at the same time, you are going to get boeing involved in this. you will get cfm, the french american conglomerates that build the engines, they will be involved. so you will go to quite a few international players involved in this investigation, simply because they owned the airline —— aircraft, or they owned the engines. jeffrey thomas, thank you so much. my pleasure. as the trump administration enters its final days in office, the secretary of state, mike pompeo, has announced that the us is lifting long—standing restrictions on its relationship with taiwan. the state department said the regulations had been imposed decades ago to appease the mainland communist chinese government. let's get more on

put on high alert after iran threatened revenge then in november iran's top nuclear scientists most infact resigned he was killed in tehran iran blamed israel for the attack but it never issued a a comment then just last week israel launched an attack against iranian links in syria israel was intensifying its a campaign there before president donald trump left office let's bring in harry fawcett live from west jerusalem for us harry this threat by the head of these really military put it into context for us why now. yes i don't think it should be read this early as an immediate threat of an imminent attack on iran but it is very much a setting out of israel's position that it should be maintained in terms of a hard line against iran and against iran's potential for getting a nuclear weapon not just from here but also from the united states and this is a real sign as the chief foreign policy concern really of israel at the moment very very sharp difference between the trunk administration which aligned itself so closely to israel's policy objectives and interests and it suspicion of the inc

and, infact, before the christmas period, our rates were among the best in europe.you, which i've seen at a local level of my own area in ireland, this virus changes all the time. so the vaccine situation is what it is at the moment. but i know that really serious efforts are under way to get more production out, to get more supply into the member states. and i can tell you there is no problem with distribution of the vaccine in ireland, once we get the supply. and we are on the... well, you say there's no problem of distribution. there's very definitely a problem with supply. now, your taoiseach, your prime minister, has said that realistically, you can't begin to think about lifting lockdown restrictions in ireland until, really, the big majority of irish people have been vaccinated. as we speak today, astrazeneca, who are hoping to get formal approvalfrom the eu on friday for their vaccine, they've already told the eu that they cannot supply what they thought they could in terms of the numbers of vaccines. the allocation was going to be something like 80 million,

i'd love to bring you some good news, but, infact 2020 was the joint hottest year on record — alongsidethe arctic — and parts of siberia especially — abnormally warm conditions lasted most of the year. globally the average temperature was one and a quarter degrees celsius higher than during the pre—industrial period of 1850 to 1900. that's despite a 7% fall in fossil fuel burning due to the pandemic. as if hospitals don't have enough to deal with at the moment — this happeend to one in italy. a huge sinkhole suddenly appeared in a hospital car park in naples. the hole — about the size of two and a half tennis courts and 20 metres deep — swallowed up several cars, and cut power and water supplies. patients had to be moved elsewhere — but fortunately no one was hurt. just incredible. lots more on our website. i will be back shortly. hello. a spell of cold wintry january weather will be gradually easing through the weekend and into next week as things turn a little bit milder. but certainly on friday, we had a lot more snow for some parts of northern england. this was of the picture in cum

infact, iran administration was hoping for.r programme which was under wraps with that deal in place so messed up biden says he must return to that deal which means if he really doesin deal which means if he really does in lifting some of the sanctions, if iran goes back to adhering to the deal, so we would exit and error of confrontation and possibility of war where the two sides could at least take some diplomatic steps to de—escalate and possibly bring about some mutual understanding around the nuclear issue. all right, thank you so much. last summer, australia witnessed its most intense bushfire season on record. blazes swept across 2a million hectares, killing at least 33 people. one year on, our correspondent shaimaa khalil returned to some of the worst affected areas. wow! it was the bushfire season australians had feared. conditions were dry for months and the heat was soaring. but nothing prepared them for the catastrophic blazes they faced. australia's black summer shocked the nation and the world. a year ago i met ru

connections to immigrant communities over many years, in fact. immigrant communities over many years, infacts over many years, in fact. his supporters see that as a real advantage because many people say if the cdu is to move forward as a so—called people's party it is going to have to start really reaching out to more women, and also to more people with an immigrant background. many would say it's an advantage when it comes to the september election we will have to wait and see whether he is the candidate. there are two other politicians here who are also generally considered to be in the running. it's really hard to say what will happen. germany's health minister has enjoyed a high profile thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. he is supporting armin laschet in his bid for the leadership but he is well known to harbour ambitions for the position himself. he's handled things so far, so there is a big chance that he, jens spahn, will go for it. and also the leader of the bavarian sister party, and if you look at opinion polls he is emerging as the public favourite to become the next german chan

infact, he's you don't know when he's going to do. in fact, he's going to be there anyway.the democrats were to. their argument is this is not an impeachable act, then what is? and we need to take a strong stand to show this is not going to be acceptable and to prevent any other president from doing this kind of thing. president from doing this kind of thin._ i, ., plett—usher, thank you. today's impeachment vote caps off a week unlike any other in the history of america's capital city. our north america editorjon sopel has this report. on this vote, the ayes... the moment donald trump carved himself an unwelcome niche in american history, becoming the first president to be impeached twice. without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. as dawn broke over the nation's capital, the place was somehow unrecognisable. the landscape had changed. it now feels like the front line, a garrison town, with the elegant marble corridors a barracks. the civil war president, abraham lincoln, looking down on resting serviceman. but impeachment 2.0 is different, very di

the president—elect has said that dealing with the virus in the vaccine will be his priority and infact and in fact he's going to give out all the available coronavirus vaccine doses and not hold back some for a second dose, so he's emily was happening there in britain. we had oui’ happening there in britain. we had our own very grim record today, the uk has had the highest number of deaths in one day since this pandemic began, 1325 people died within 20 days a positive test. the highest since records began. this is really difficult for the uk because we are now inching up to one of those milestones, 80,000 deaths which if you cannot imagine what it's like i'm one of our programmes showed the london 0lympic stadium back from the 2012 olympics, fully during the opening ceremony, its capacity 80,000. which just shows how many people have passed away, a really difficult milestone here in the uk. we will be talking about the vaccines that are coming through also here on bbc world news talking about climate. record wildfires and storms. the japanese people are in mourning, following the deat

marry what they bring to the table with what israel brings to the table, the sky is the limit and infact it will be skies . we will be going to space together i guess in the near future. >> part i most excited about is not the business opportunities or political cooperation. what i'm excited about this i grew up in egypt.ou i grew up thinking israel is the enemy and i drive by the israeli ambassador's house every day thinking you know. my 10-year-old son will be growing up thinking it's normal to visit israel, totally normal to visit. is going to grow up with a completely direct mindset than the one i grew up with and to me that's probably the most meaningful part of the abraham courts. >> you think egypt is likely to follow suit because it hasn't invested as much in israel as was expected . do you that might change? >> i hope so and i think that the way they have welcomed and embraced this process bodes very well for the future because egypt is a very large country, on hundred million people in and it's right next door to israel. the piece was different as yousef mentioned because we've

interrupted him, infact. he said the election is over.ent is still deluded about what happened on wednesday and doesn't accept it. exactly right. that conversation you just alluded to is very telling. kevin mccarthy has been one of president trump's biggest supporters. they talk often. he's a close confidant so the fact that he is pushing back, mccarthy is pushing back on what trump said, the fact that senator lindsey graham pushing back on what trump has said, is very telling. these are his closest allies on capitol hill, telling him just stop it. it's notjust what happened last week, it's that many of them have been tired of hearing for two months president trump saying that he still won the election, that he didn't lose, that he needs to fight it. they have said, you can go through those legal processes , said, you can go through those legal processes, go through the lawsuits and recounts, but once that's over, it's time to move on. from what i'm hearing inside the white house for the last week, even after the protests, he hasn't moved

and, infact, efficacy when the second booster is administered.. but i understand it will have caused some concern for people who are already scheduled for the second dose of the vaccine and now have to wait longer. but the protection is very good from a single dose. the reason why we get a booster is really to boost those very strong affinity antibodies, so that the virus can be killed faster, that the virus can be killed faster, that we hopefully don't spread the virus. and of the second reason is that we want the vaccine to last longer. and that's why people will still get a second dose of the vaccine, because it still makes sense to get that, but we already get a very good level of protection from the first dose. really interesting, professor. in a practical sense they will be people already who have maybe had an elderly loved one, grandparent or someone elderly loved one, grandparent or someone vulnerable, who will have had of the first dose, and now they find out there will be a longer delay before the second dose. so behaviourally, in terms
