level in five years — and it's the under—25s who've been the hardest hit and sprechen sie covid. the german institute of language says the pandemic has spawned 1200 new words. hello i'm katty kay in washington, christian fraser is in london. there are still many unanswered questions about the insurrection at the us capitol onjanuary 6th. how much did law enforcement know about plans for violence that day? was intelligence properly shared? and just how could police have been so ill prepared for a riot that was organised in plain sight? today, lawmakers have been trying to get to the bottom of exactly what happened at a senate hearing that's still underway. among those tesitfying are two of the top security officials who were at the capitol that day. it's the first time we've heard from them in public. this is what the former sergeant—at—arms of the house of representatives said about the intelligence reports he'd received in the days leading up to the riot. safety was always paramount when making security plans forjanuary six. we did discuss whether the intelligence pointed having trips of the capital. that was the issue in the capital. that was the issue in the collective judgement at that time was no. the intelligence did not warrant that. if the chief or any security leader had expressed doubt of our readiness but the national guard, i would doubt of our readiness but the national guard, iwould not doubt of our readiness but the national guard, i would not of hesitated. the us capitol police chief echoed that —— blaming federal law enforcement and the defense department for intelligence failures ahead of the riot. as recent as tuesday, january five with the meeting a host of my executive team, the police board and the top law enforcement and military officials from dc, no entity, including the fbi provided any intelligence regarding january six. it should also be noted that the director of homeland security did not issue an elevated or imminent alert and the events of the united states g 26th. we properly plan for a mass demonstration with possible violence, but we got was a military style coordinated assault my officers and a violent takeover of the capital. so were there inteligence failures higher up the food chain? let's bring in sethjones —— he's the director of the transnational threats project at the center for strategic and international studies. listening to today's hearings, it seemed there were two major issues, one was intelligence before the attack but weather was taken seriously enough. and then on the day, the inability to get troops there of one form or another, national guard or other, quickly reinforce the deteriorating situation in the ground. is that what you heard?— situation in the

still think, these are government officials that are playing hot potato right now and do not want to accept blame for mistakes in many cases that they made. at the end of the day, in my community, the evidence is overwhelming that this was not an intelligence failure despite the fact that they're making that argument. there was plenty of available evidence that there was going to be a large number of people descending on the capital of that day, they were coordinated, they were armed and if the vice president of the united states is going to be there, as were members of the senate that were going to be voting on the most important issue that the us has been facing over the past several months which was the outcome of the election, i mean what more do they need to understand about what was going on a boat is at stake. this was a failure ofjudgement, not of intelligence in the end. did was a failure ofjudgement, not of intelligence in the end.— intelligence in the end. did we learn

the national guard. most of the serious riots in washington, dc had faced in december and even very early january had faced in december and even very earlyjanuary had had faced in december and even very early january had involved had faced in december and even very earlyjanuary had involved riot police which they are early january had involved riot police which they are far too few anyway, to me, it is not entirely clear that there were necessary here. there was any a significant number of riot police to deal with these individuals. at number of riot police to deal with these individuals.—

there are several civil disturbance units among the capitol hill police, only four of them have riot gear equipment. they don't even have helmets. they were not trained for an insurrection for somebody trying to infiltrate the capital, they were not even trained for that. it seems like there is an intelligence failure but more broadly there is a huge security and what could happen out

intelligence-— intelligence. they say this is a failure of imagination - intelligence. they say this is a failure of imagination of- intelligence. they say this is a failure of imagination of the l failure of imagination of the intelligence and possibly the security forces as well on capitol hill, to look beyond the groups that they have traditionally seen as a threat, islamic terrorism is always seen as a threat in america. probably on the protest last summer, they would come if they were african—americans they would not be treated the same way. but the fact that they were white pro—law enforcement that a lot of these make america great again supporters are pro—law enforcement, they could not see them as people that would attack the capitol. that is the framework for this. that the intelligence services need to take serious, the threat of white supremacy and they just have not done so yet. it is notable on social media that people are posting pictures from the black lives matter marched in washington backin lives matter marched in washington back in june lives matter marched in washington back injune where the national guard were there in force on the steps of the capital. one of the arguments made today was the national guard because they were criticised for what happened outside of the white house, they did not want to be too heavy—handed but that night and day, that protects us at the white house was peaceful, my kids been down there and seen earlier, this was not peaceful and did not need the national guard. very different details to what we got a couple weeks ago for some very interesting. no one has been spared this pandemic — lockdown has had its effect on all of us and in so many different ways. but there's no question that young people are bearing the brunt. they have missed out on school, some of the most formative years of your lives — largely in order to protect the older generations who are more at most risk. and — young people are paying an economic price too. new ons figures out today in the uk show that there are now 700,000 fewer people in employment compared to the start of the pandemic. but if you break that figure down by age group — you'll see that more than 80% of those who've lost theirjobs in the past year — are under the age of 35. jenny scott is with us, once of this parish. she is an economist, founding director at apello — and formerly an executive director at the bank of england. there is the chance to looking at his budget, how does he create a foundation to get thousands of young people back into work? as you imagined, it is very sad problem that these figures of highlighted today and i think there are a few, if you look behind the reasons for that rising youth unemployment, young people tend to be employed in sectors that have been hardest hit, the retail sectors, hospitality sectors where there simply is just that few of them coming at a full—time education and not actually having had a job yet and the jobs so they would've gone to are i think they would've gone to are i think the real tragedy is the evidence that if you do not secure the job or when you're younger, that is quite a lot of knock on effects and lifetime earnings, your career potential, so it is a disproportion of your unemployed at that age for any year to time. i do suspect that it will be on the chancellors radar as we prepare for the budget. there think you can do. you can create incentives for to hire that for incentives. you can set up an apprenticeship schemes, that sector of the population, that isn't really an issue of skills, which is the demand for the economy, and if you look at that, the demand across that area, the problem to another. we have seen — area, the problem to another. we have seen what happens when young people are squeezed out of labour markets because we saw greece, we saw spain after the financial crash of 2008. it can have long—term implications for that generation. they could become the lost cohort. there is quite a lot of research around that and also quite a lot of big impacts on mental health as well. if you fail to get that first run on the latter. and quite beyond this personal impacts, if you've got this personal impacts, if you've got this lost generation and if you've got this high welfare bill further down the line, the financial terms as well, there is quite a big price to pay if you come up with policies the kind of have this generation get into the jobs market.— into the “obs market. carrying a lot of debt into the jobs market. carrying a lot of debt can — into the jobs market. carrying a lot of debt can get _ into the jobs market. carrying a lot of debt can get onto _ into the jobs market. carrying a lot of debt can get onto the _ into the jobs market. carrying a lot of debt can get onto the housing i of debt can get onto the housing ladder because it's out of reach at the moment. the thing that worries me is that we do not know the true picture of the moment. we saying their of tens of thousands of young people, it could be much more than that because the furlough scheme which is still in place in a way as disguising the full effect. yes. which is still in place in a way as disguising the full effect.- disguising the full effect. yes, i think that is — disguising the full effect. yes, i think that is right _ disguising the full effect. yes, i think that is right and _ disguising the full effect. yes, i think that is right and i - disguising the full effect. yes, i think that is right and i think i disguising the full effect. yes, i | think that is right and i think the chancellor will be acutely aware of that. if you look at how much the economy has shrunk during the pandemic and how much unemployment has risen, and normal times, there is a massive mismatch there in the economy has shrunk and normally you would expect the unemployment absolutely soaring and it hasn't precisely because the government has put in place that furlough scheme which is been in breach for pre—pandemic and as you say, that is absolutely the right question, we do not know how much demand is going to be picking up after this. maybe people will be more cautious about spending because anything can happen. they may be a bit more nervous to this pandemic or they may have all this pent up savings and they might want to go once and splurge. more now on the developing news —that tiger woods is currently in hospital after a car crash south of los angeles. his agent has said the golfer suffered multiple leg injuries. our los

masters and yes, there was the triumphant return just a couple of years after he was involved in a driving under the influence incident in florida, he was not driving under the influence of alcohol, we understand the pain killers were involved in and really amongst all expectations he came back with that extraordinary performance just a couple of years later. the main concern is that all the experts talking about what happened last few hours, the main concern for all of them are talking about the leg injuries right now, the main concern is how they could've impacted his existing back

coronavirus vaccines is bringing some light in the darkness of the pandemic. but in some countries people lucky enough to be offered a vaccine are sometimes being quite picky about which one they'll have. in germany — after a newspaper misreported the effectiveness of the astra zenca jab — many people are refusing to take it. the country has 1.4 million doses of astra zenca but has only administered 200,000 of them. the german government is now actively encouraging people to take it. let's talk to hans von der buchard — eu politics reporter with politico interview with us. why do you think think people are refusing to take the astrazeneca jab? it is think people are refusing to take the astrazeneca jab?— the astrazeneca “ab? it is a very articular the astrazeneca jab? it is a very particular situation _ the astrazeneca jab? it is a very particular situation in _ the astrazeneca jab? it is a very particular situation in germany | particular situation in germany because first of all, people have been for about two months, very furious about the slow roll—out of vaccination in germany and the eu. they had been blaming, especially the european committee of being too slow on procuring all of this and they're reluctant slow on procuring all of this and they�* re reluctant to take slow on procuring all of this and they're reluctant to take this astrazeneca vaccine and it was pointed out as there were some media reports about the standing commission for vaccination in germany that have been sapped of this vaccine may not be efficient enough for people 65 years and some media reports suggest that this will have a very low efficiency versus the standing commission for vaccination and the government are saying we just vaccination and the government are saying wejust do vaccination and the government are saying we just do not have enough data on that. there'sjust saying we just do not have enough data on that. there's just a lot of confusion now for the people about how efficient this vaccine actually is and is very picture of their situation are saying we would like to have for the vaccine is from produced in germany but there's been a lot of negative press. me

the i government has been saying is not on them? in a way, yes. but the - government has been saying is not so negative about the vaccine as such but as you pointed rightly out that emmanuel macron said shed some more doubt about it and there was a lot of negative pr and reflects on the public opinion and people are more worried about it. this vaccine, there want it's actually good or safe. should they go for the vaccine that if one else knows is working. germany only has 1t% of its population of the vaccine, when does the vaccine compared to 26% in the uk and the numbers are not bad in the us as well. what is the government going to do now to try to reverse the scepticism about the astrazeneca vaccine and to try and “p astrazeneca vaccine and to try and up that number from 1t%? astrazeneca vaccine and to try and up that numberfrom 1t%? we astrazeneca vaccine and to try and up that number from 496? we have the health minister _ up that number from 496? we have the health

day ago - health ministerjust a day ago actually saying that he would take the astrazeneca jab, but they have to do more to encourage people to take that vaccine and what you're seeing now is there also trying to change the programme, the priorities with which people are getting vaccinated because so far, there's only been people over 80 years and now teachers, they're saying they should get it as well. so that astrazeneca can actually be made available to people at an age group below 65 years where they think it really works well but, certainly does a lot of work to be done and this is very problematic for the government as well because you have an election coming up in september and people are angry, you could say and people are angry, you could say and they're really frustrated and angry about the slow roll—out in germany and this whole confusion about astrazeneca is inside of that as well. ., , about astrazeneca is inside of that as well. . , , ., as well. can be broadened from

other countries in europe too, notably france. is there a public health campaign going on that they hope will be effective? it's something people of address to the us and they're trying to do a big health campaign to get people to be more comfortable with the vaccine? is actually a point that the european commission which is always in charge of procuring these vaccines and have been very vocal about it from the beginning. the issue of liability when it comes to this vaccine is very important and that they have worked a lot to address this point to make sure that these vaccines work and that there is a liability clause included. so to address these concerns, you could say they were already very aware that people could be concerned about this but now it is more about stepping up efforts to bring this message out to the citizens and actually convince them that these vaccines are safe and that the vaccination is needed as well. thank ou ve vaccination is needed as well. thank you very

while we are on the subject of germany. it mayjust surprise you to learn that the covid has spawned 1200 new german words, related in some way to the pandemic. that's according to the german institute of language. so in a long—awaited moment of schadenfreude, we are going to test katty to see if she can translate some of them for us. and remember that katty is currenly applying for swiss

the day, it was still windy and, for many, it was good evening. although some managed a little warmth in the sunshine during the day, it was still windy and, for many, it was windy, cloudy and wet. and we've got plenty more of that rain to come. you can see this trailing band of cloud that's going to continue to push rain into similar areas where we've seen it today. the met office amber warning in force for the southern uplands, the southern highlands. about 120 mm of rain expected here, but for many other areas under that zone of cloud, there'll be a good 60—80 mm falling as well. so certainly the risk of flash flooding and disruption. and it's very windy, too, with gale force winds up through the irish sea and into western parts of scotland, just pushing that rain into the evening, night and into tomorrow as well. perhaps easing a little for northern ireland later, and to the south and east, mostly dry, but with all the cloud, the wind and the rain, it'll be a mild night — temperatures higher than they would be during the day in late february. so that mild air will continue to play a part, actually, in the amount of rainfall that we get. it's just pumping that moisture in. the flood warnings have been rising through the day. you can find out more information on the website, because that weather front remains slow moving through wednesday. here it is. again, tightly—packed isobars, perhaps less so across the north, but we've got slightly fresh air waiting in the wings there, but still very warm air being pushed up to the south of that weather front. so if the sun does come out during the day on wednesday, we could be seeing 16s or 17s in southern and eastern areas. but again, the story is the strength of the wind. a blustery day, more wet weather to come again, perhaps not as much across northern ireland, but close by, isn't it? and again, southern and central scotland, northern england, much of wales seeing that rain continuing to fall. now, it should eventually move out of the way by the time we get to thursday, and then there's some good news — some drier weather is on the way. the cloud does drags its heels across southern and eastern areas, which means it could well be a greyer day here with damp and drizzly weather, but then brighter skies further north. although it will feel fresher, we've got that westerly wind instead of a south—westerly. but still, just one or two showers and a lot drier, and that's because we're starting to see the influence of high—pressure building northwards, notjust for the end of the week but potentially into the weekend as well — keeping those weather fronts at bay, giving us more sunshine, some chilly nights and some morning fog to watch out for. the warnings, as ever, are online. you're

people and resonated personally for those that have lost people to covid or lost people generally and also to the country, saying we are going to get through this and it will better times ahead. i

borisjohnson took the opportunity to warn that climate change is threatening global security. tackling the issue, he said, is of paramount importance. it's the latest in a series of rallying calls on the environment, this one very much on the global stage. mrjohnson said some would argue — and these are his words — that "all this green stuff from a bunch of tree—hugging tofu—munchers" is not a suitable subject for such a high—profile un meeting. "i couldn't disagree more," he said. my message to you all today is, now, the un security council has got to act, too, because climate change is a geopolitical issue every bit as much as it is an environmental one. but what could the security impact that mrjohnson's referring to look like? let's bring in erin sikorsky. she's the deputy director of the centre for disease control and prevention climate and security. i was just i wasjust thinking i was just thinking as i was watching borisjohnson there, has there ever been a discussion about climate change within the confines of the security

some of the day's other news. one of the three men accused of murdering the maltese journalist daphne caruana galizia has been given a 15—yearjail sentenced after suddenly changing his plea to guilty. vincent muscat has admitted taking part in the car bombing that killed the investigative reporter. a prominent maltese businessman, yorgen fenech, is currently awaiting trial for planning the assassination. buckingham palace says the duke of edinburgh is being treated for an infection at london's king edward vii's hospital and is not expected to leave for several days. he was admitted seven days ago after feeling unwell. do stay with us on bbc news. still to come: just for laughs, the iconic comedy festival, is back and adapting to our strange times. we'll talk to co—owner and america's got talentjudge, howie mandel, next. and america's got talentjudge, that's and america's got talentjudge, coming up next. s now to scotland, and a bitter dispute that pits two of the most dominant political figures in the country against each other — first minister nicola sturgeon and herformer mentor alex salmond. at the heart of the row is an inquiry into the scottish government's handling of harassment claims made against mr salmond in 2018. it's a case of who knew what and when. today, mr salmond's written evidence to the inquiry was removed from the scottish parliament's website, before being amended and republished. alex salmond has now offered to appear before msps on friday and his lawyer has written to the committee tonight. our scotland editor sarah smith has more. well, after alex salmond submitted his statement, which is his version of what happened when he was investigated over these complaints of sexual harassment and that was published last night, the crown office, the prosecution service in scotland, they got in touch with the parliament and said that they had grave concerns over some aspects of the evidence for legal reasons. so this morning, it was taken down, certain paragraphs were removed and it has now been made available again. now, alex salmond does want to tell his side of the story, and we know from the documents he has submitted that he believes that there was a conspiracy by senior scottish government officials, as well as those at the top of the snp, to destroy his reputation and ultimately to see him imprisoned. you will remember there was a criminal trial last year and he was acquitted on 13 counts of sexual assault. we know also that he wants to make public his accusations that nicola sturgeon is not telling the truth about what she knew and when. he will allege that she has misled parliament and broken the rules that govern ministerial behaviour. if that was established to be the case, she'd be expected to resign as first minister, so those are very serious allegations. and they're accusations that are directly refuted by nicola sturgeon, she'll be giving evidence next week, possibly — something she says she is relishing to be able to do because, according to her, alex salmond will not be able to prove his conspiracy theories because, she says, they're simply not true. britain's fashion industry is worth £35 billion a year to the economy, but its leaders say they need government help to deal with the twin effects of brexit and the pandemic. leaving the european union has meant additional paperwork and costs while covid has stopped the events that designers need to showcase their creations. along with new york, milan and paris, london fashion week draws a global audience. but all collections are being shown online, as our arts editor will gompertz reports. london fashion week 2021 — an online—only affair this year, but still an important showcase for britain's luxury fashion brands. they know how to put on a good show, even in the bad times... ..which these certainly are for the uk's multi—billion—pound fashion industry. covid has dealt it a huge blow. brexit, they say, is the sucker punch. this particularfabric is from north italy. it was to be in my collection, it arrived too late. it got stuck, between documentation and stansted airport. there's no deal, as far as the textile industry is concerned. it is a disaster. ijust believe it's going to get worse unless something seriously is done. and the double duty, double vat — thatjust has to change. erdem, the internationally admired london—based luxury fashion brand, is showing its new ballet—inspired autumn winter collection at london fashion week. it's looking great. but business isn't. it's extraordinary, the kind of thoughtlessness, actually, of what's happening with brexit. it's resulted in cancelled orders, it's resulted in absolutely increased costs. if the changes being demanded by everyone in the fashion industry, if they don't materialise, what's the outlook? one outlook would be to set up a subsidiary business, a company in europe. the government is making it increasingly difficult to produce it here in the uk, which is such a shame, because that accounts for almost 50% of what we do, so it's very sad, actually. a government spokesperson said, "we are working closely with businesses in the fashion industry to ensure they get the support they need to trade effectively with the eu and seize new opportunities as we strike new trade deals." british fashion designers have a global reputation for their creativity and enterprise, attributes embodied by priya ahluwalia, this year's winner of the queen elizabeth ii award for british design. i am optimistic, but i've just got to be, i think. ifeel like ahluwalia is more thanjust a clothing brand. for me, it's a way i can tell stories that are authentic about different cultures and my heritage, and also it's a driver for change, in terms of showing better practice on how we can manufacture clothing. sustainability, diversity, covid and brexit are all big challenges facing the british fashion industry — a global success story that nobody wants to see come apart at the seams. will gompertz, bbc news. amazing creations, but look at those empty streets. we have talked a lot on this programme about the

tuesday was a day of contrast. feeling warmer when the sun came out in southern and eastern areas, but actually it was a windy day for most, cloudy and with some heavy rain. and the met office have an amber warning in force until wednesday morning forfurther problems with rain. over100mm of rain on already saturated ground, already high river levels. the flood warnings have been rising, so you can find out more information on that from the website. because you can see, going forward with time, that rain band is still slow—moving across parts of scotland, but not just here, across northern ireland, northern england and north wales. to the south of it, though, bringing in some very mild air. so, again, if the sun comes out, we could see temperatures into the teens, the mid to high teens potentially. 16 and 17. in contrast, where we've got all that cloud, it won't be as warm, but it's still relatively mild and it's been very windy. and those stronger winds continue to start wednesday, easing a little in the north—west later, but the rain doesn't really until quite late in the day. so you can see, once again, it's going to be a concern for those areas where the ground is saturated, the river levels high, because we're just pumping all this warm, moist air with lots of energy in across the hills and mountains. so although, as i say, the amber warning for parts of scotland, many other areas in the north and west risk from some flooding because here too it's going to be very wet. but finally, by the time we end wednesday and move into thursday, that weather front is moving out the way. it does drag its heels across southern and eastern parts of england. so here it will be cloudier than the day on wednesday, possibly even quite dreary and drizzly before that clears out the way, but brighter and drier elsewhere. just a few showers around, so still not completely dry, but nothing like we've seen during tuesday or indeed on wednesday. but fresher, because the winds are coming in from the west. and then high—pressure builds. high pressure looks set, then, to stay with us through friday and into the weekend. so that means a few things. drier weather, the weather fronts are being kept at bay by that weather frontjust coming around the periphery, really, of that area of high pressure. so it should be drier, calmer, so lighter winds. we will have some morning fog, though, as a result of all the moisture we've had. it'll be quite chilly at night because the nights are still long, but i think it'll feel quite pleasant, even warm, by day. so through friday we've got the morning fog to clear. this time of year, it does clear mid to late morning and then we've gotjust patchy cloud, really, coming in across the far north. we should see some good spells of february sunshine elsewhere and it'll lift the temperatures to 11, some 12s quite widely. as i say, feeling pleasant because we've lost the wind as well. very similar set—up through the weekend. as you can see, just some patchy cloud here and there in the form of low level mist and fog and just a little bit of fair—weather cloud building up. temperatures again recovering after the chilly nights, 10s to 13 degrees there and again, pick your difference really as we go into sunday. of course there always will be, which is the british weather, it's fickle, some areas will have more cloud, others not, but, again, pinpointing those exact areas a little bit tricky at this stage, but 10s to 13s, above average, orjust a little bit above average for the time of year. and that sort of temperature is how it'll be into next week. so, into next week, you can see the jet stream keeps to the north of us. high pressure stays with us. the biggest question mark is how quickly that high pressure will break down and allow low pressure in to bring in the more unsettled, wetter, windy weather again. but at this stage, it might be well into the latter part of next week before it does. as ever, you can stay up—to—date. the warnings are on the website. tonight at ten — borisjohnson confirms that ministers are considering the case for so—called �*vaccine passports'. people who've been vaccinated could be given a certificate or they might need to show proof of their covid status in certain circumstances. the lockdown in england is due to be lifted in full on june 21st but the prime minister warns that introducing a vaccine passport is fraught with difficulty. we've never thought in terms of having something that you have to show to go to, you know, a pub or a theatre. and so there are deep and complex issues that we need to explore, ethical issues. we'll have details of the policy review that's now been launched. also tonight... in scotland, the first minister nicola sturgeon sets out what she calls a �*progressive easing' of covid restrictions.
