And the stars stay home for hollywoods virtual Golden Globes mank, nomadland and promising young woman are among this years frontrunners. Hello and welcome. Donald trump has made his first public appearance since leaving the white house last month. Mr trump told a conference of conservative supporters mr trump told a conference of conservative supporters in florida that the journey, begun four years ago when he became president , was Far From Over. Amid his attacks on President Biden and his defence of his past administration, mr trump said that he would not be starting his own Political Party but further fuelled speculation that he might run again in 202a. From orlando, our North America correspondent nick bryant reports. Music carnival time in orlando. A trumpian mardi gras. Latins for trump but this also had the feel of a revival meeting, a gathering that suggests that if there is to be a battle for the soul of the Republican Party, then the former president has the numbers to win. The loser of the 2020 election was greeted like a conquering hero. Most people in this crowd still believe he won, and The Big Question on everyone� s lips will he run again . Cheering who knows . I may even decide to beat them a third time. 0k . But he hasnt yet declared his candidacy. Donald trump has always inspired a near cult like devotion, and at this conservative conference, they even put a golden idol on display. Were praising donald trump, in thanksgiving for all hes accomplished for this nation, and with gods blessing, he will continue to accomplish, we praise the lord. Most conservatives here are hoping for his second coming. Making America Great again remains an article of faith. His part in the storming of the us capitol isnt even seen as a sin. People really admire him and respect him, and they want to hearfrom him. Isnt what happened onjanuary 6, and his part in that, disqualifying . No, i dont believe he played any part in the violence at the capitol, and i dont think any of these people do here. What this appearance has shown is that the storming of the us capitol was not a pivotal event, the moment when the Republican Party decided to reject donald trump and take a different path. Less than two months on, its almost as if january 6 never happened. Nick bryant, bbc news, florida. Lets speak to our North America correspondent david willis. Hejoins me from los he joins me from los angeles. David, welcome to you. What did you make of the speech . Samantha, i think if anybody thought donald trump was going away, they are clearly very deeply misguided because he made absolutely clear in this speech that he intends to become a kingmaker, if you like, for the Republican Party going forward, as far as endorsing candidates for the house and the senate is concerned. He doesnt intend to set up a party of his own, as had been speculated, but he did hit very broadly that he might consider running for president again in 202a. There have been again in 202a. There have been a lot of people, i have to say, samantha, who thought he might abandon those controversial claims that the election last year was stolen from him. Well, not so. Donald trump doubled down on those claims today, indeed saying this election was rigged and the Supreme Court and other courts didnt want to do anything about it, and of course the courts in this country rejected numerous claims of Election Malfeasance and many Senior Republicans have urged donald trump to move on from that argument. fix, on from that argument. A rousing applause from the audience there, many on their feet. How do you think you will have gone down amongst why do Republican Voters across the country . Republican voters across the count . , ,. Country . This is very much, nick Bryant Country . This is very much, nick bryant made country . This is very much, nick bryant made the country . This is very much, nick bryant made the point| nick bryant made the point rather well in his report there, a battle for the soul of there, a battle for the soul of the Republican Party. Does it move forward on the coat tails of donald trump or does it distance itself from his somewhat controversial legacy . There are those, for example, lake liz cheney, very influential, mitt romney, who would like to put the trump years behind the Republican Party, but he remains the most popular politician the party has despite all that has happened over the last few months and particularly its scene by many as a potential force for endorsing them going forward, to win back the House Of Representatives in two time and the presidency itself in four years time. And the presidency itself in four years time. And i guess a seech four years time. And i guess a speech like four years time. And i guess a speech like this four years time. And i guess a speech like this makes four years time. And i guess a speech like this makes it four years time.

That is a very good point, samantha. | country, to do that. That is a l very good point, samantha. It does make it none the easier forjoe biden, who as you rightly state was elected amongst other things to unite this deeply divided country. Donald trump basically trashed Whatjoe Biden has set out to do in his first month or so in office, calling it the worst first month for an american president in history, and taking issue with policies in regards to immigration, the coronavirus pandemic and so on, but there are those who feel that this country is now on a slightly more even course in the absence of donald trump and certainly things are a little calmer now than they were when he was in office. He was in office. David willis in los angeles, he was in office. David willis in los angeles, thanks he was in office. David willis in los angeles, thanks for l he was in office. David willis i in los angeles, thanks for the update. The United Nations has condemned the use of lethal force against Peaceful Protesters in myanmar, after the Bloodiest Day of clashes since military leaders seized power four weeks ago. The Un Human Rights Office says at least 18 people were killed on sunday and more than 30 wounded. Our South East Asia correspondentjonathan head has sent this report. It contains some graphic images. This was the day myanmar� s army set out to impose its will on a furious population, whatever the cost notjust tier gas, but live rounds, too. All restraint now abandoned. A month after the coup, public anger and defiance are still burning bright in myanmar. Fuelled by the rising toll in dead and injured and by the many hundreds dragged from their homes at night. And still, no sight of aung san suu kyi, the woman they voted for overwhelmingly in an election four months ago. They prepared themselves with home made shields. And put up improvised barricades to try to stop the police. It was pitifully inadequate for what they were about to face. In yangon, the police pushed forward in clouds of tear gas. But they were shooting as well. This was nyi nyi aung htet naing, an engineer and a protester, struck by a bullet and carried off through the gunshots for treatment. He did not survive. In the southern town of dawei, two terrified women watched as police commanded by an army officer advanced on the protesters, calmly shooting directly into the crowd. At one barricade, a man shouts for people not to run. There are three shots. Some are clearly hit and then dragged away. These were some of the worst clashes of the day. The ambulances kept up a constant relay to and from the hospitals, which were filled with the injured and the dead. These are scenes from myanmar� s traumatic past that its people had hoped were behind them. Much has changed during this countrys ten year experiment with democracy, but not the soldiers, who now run it again and who are still willing to kill to stay in power. Jonathan head, bbc news. Embattled new York Governor Andrew Cuomo has asked the states Attorney General and a chiefjudge to appoint an investigator to examine allegations of Sexual Misconduct against him. Cuomo was criticised for previously suggesting a formerjudge take charge of the investigation. A statement by his special counsel, beth garvey, insisted the governor wanted the misconduct claims reviewed in a manner beyond reproach. Garvey said. Mr cuomo has denied the allegations, which were made by two women in their 20s. He was largely praised, and has been seen as a rising star in the democratic party, for his coronavirus pandemic briefings but has recently come under fire over reports that hiS Administration under counted covid deaths in the states nursing homes. Lets get some of the days other news now. The syrian army says it has destroyed most of a salvo of missiles fired at the damascus area by israel. It said the missiles were tracked as coming from the occupied golan heights. Its israels policy not to comment on such claims. The Israeli Military has recently stepped up strikes on what it says are iran linked targets in syria, aimed at reducing tehran� s Military Influence in the country. Leading british aid agencies are warning that People Living in the worlds most dangerous and desperate places are facing an unprecedented catastrophe from a combination of conflict and the coronavirus pandemic. An umbrella group, the disasters emergency committee, says falling aid funding is causing charities to reduce life saving work, just when it is needed to prevent both starvation and the spread of covid i9. The World Trade Organization has a new Director General starting work on monday. Dr ngozi okonjo iweala, the formerfinance minister of nigeria, is the first women and the first african to take to run the organisation. She was chosen after President BidenS Administration removed his predecessors veto on her selection. The Golden Globes will kick off hollywoods award season shortly, with a mainly virtual ceremony set to take place. This year, the event will be broadcast from two smaller venues in california and new york, with front line and essential workers among the few in attendance. Chloe Zhaos Nomadland is seen as the favourite for the top prize, but it faces strong competition from courtroom drama the trial of the chicago 7, directed by aaron sorkin. Our North America correspondent peter bowes is in los angeles. Peter, welcome to you, so a scaled down virtual, as we have all got used to, event. How is it going to work . It all got used to, event.

This is an entirely virtual affair, the nominees will be in different locations around the world, the two presenters split between new york and los angeles they presented the Golden Globes many times before, they are hugely skilled at it, often poking fun at the celebrities in the audience. What they wont have that us year is that Immediate Response to the Applause Lines and the laughter. There will be a few people in the audience, but it will be very, very different and it will be interesting to see how they manage to pull it off. ~ , see how they manage to pull it off. , ~ ,. , off.

This is about the goings on in hollywood all the screenwriter was writing citizen kane, and it is about the scandals of the time black and White Hollywood loves nothing more than talk about itself. You can say this is a film made for awards season and perhaps that is white has the most nominations, but it does have competition. The trial of the chicago 7 is next in the list in terms of the number of nominees that it has. This is a very different film on the true of 1967 in chicago, and the disturbances in that city surrounding the Democratic National convention, and ethic it is a film that a lot of people have enjoyed this year i think it is. Certainly a lot of chatter about it, rave reviews, and i think reading between the lines of what a lot of the pundits are saying, it is the one that is likely to do very well at the end of the night. Sacha baron cohen is nominated for his performance, he placed one of the defendants. He has two nominations, he is also nominated for the next borat film. Another went to mention, Anthony Hopkins and the father, a serious film about a man tragically descending into dementia, and i think that Olivia Colmans performance in that she places daughter.

First, the plates slid gently off the restaurant tables. Then, suddenly, the tables, the chairs and people crashed sideways and downwards. It was just a matter of seconds as the ferry lurched onto her side. The hydrogen bomb. On a remote pacific atoll, The Americans had successfully tested a weapon whose explosive force dwarfed that of the bomb dropped on hiroshima. I had heard the news earlier, and so my heart went bang, bang, bang the Constitutional Rights of these marchers are their rights as citizens of the united states, and they should be protected, even in the right to test them | out, so that they dont get their heads broken and are sent to hospitals. This religious controversy i know you dont want to say too much about it but does it worry you that its going to boil up when you get to the states . Well, it worries me, yes, but i hope everything will be all right in the end, as they say. This is bbc news. The latest headlines in his first public appearance since leaving the white house, donald trump has told a conference of conservative supporters that the journey begun four years ago is Far From Over. The United Nations has condemned myanmar� s military for using lethal force against protesters, after 18 were killed in the deadliest violence yet in four weeks of anti coup protests. Six cases of the new brazilian variant of coronavirus have been detected in the uk for the first time, three in england and three in scotland. Five of the cases have been linked to travel from brazil. There are concerns that the brazilian variant may be more contagious than the original virus and less likely to respond to vaccines although these can be adapted. It comes as the uk reached the milestone of more than 20 Million People receiving their first coronavirus jab. Our Health Correspondent Katherine Burns reports. Next week, restrictions in england will start to ease. Very gradually, society should start to open up. But at each step along the way, the government will check four tests before they move on. One is to make sure that no new variants are shifting the odds in the virus� s favour. But today, confirmation of six people testing positive for a new concerning variant, first found in brazil. It can spread more quickly than the original version. There are worries about people getting reinfected, and then theres the question of how it could affect vaccines. We have no Clinical Data or Clinical Trials data relating to Vaccine Efficacy for this p1 variant. However, the mutations that are present in this variant are highlighting some concern for us. So we definitely are trying to contain the spread, so that it does not have an impact on our vaccine programme. Surge testing will start tomorrow in parts of south gloucestershire. Two cases are confirmed there and linked back to travel in brazil. Another three people have tested positive in north east scotland. They had been to brazil recently, too. Were going to contact the passengers just as fast as we can, were going to check they havent had symptoms. Some of them may have had, randomly or connected. Were going to check if any have had tests and well do genetics on those tests. Authorities are also trying to identify a sixth case. Someone who took a test on february 12 or 13 did not register it properly. This isnt the first variant of concern weve had to deal with. And, in fact, this is pretty similar to the one first found in south africa. Now, Surge Testing for that did pick up a small number of cases, but less than 0. 2 of all the people they tested had that variant. And in fact, since they first started looking for the south africa variant, theyve only found 250 cases of it across the uk. All this makes the vaccine roll out ever more important. And today, a new milestone more than 20 Million People have now had their first dose. The first steps back to normality will be taken in schools, and testing will be a key part of the fight to stay on top of the virus as pupils head back, including naomi georges five year old daughter. Like all adults living with a pupil in england, naomi will be encouraged to test herself at home a couple of times a week. Its one line. So one line means im very unlikely to have covid. I mean, its not hassle free, going to pick them up from the testing centre. But we will be doing it. Its worth doing. The news about the brazilian variant will hopefullyjust be a small obstacle in our race against the virus. Scientists think the current vaccines will still protect against other variants, although maybe not quite as well, but theyre not wasting any time and are already working to tweak vaccines. New versions could be ready in a few months. Catherine burns, bbc news. The american pharmaceutical Companyjohnson Johnson has said it will immediately begin Shipping Doses of its vaccine its the third jab to become available in the states, following those from pfizer and moderna, but this is the first one that only needs a single dose to be effective. The company has announced its shipping more than 20 million doses with first deliveries expected as early as monday. It comes as washington warns State Governors not to relax Coronavirus Restrictions too quickly. As weve been hearing, the Golden Globes are due to get under way in the next hour. Lets get more on this. We can speak to film and Tv Awards Commentator and journalist piya sinha roy. Welcome to you. Great to have you on the programme. This years Golden Globes, many of the films nominated are actually from streaming services. Is this the year streaming services have finally caught up with the Big Studios In Hollywood . I caught up with the Big Studios In Hollywood . Would argue they have been giving everybody a pretty good run for their game the last few years. Netflix has, is leading this year with 42 nominations across film and tv, including top nominations, and ive got top nominations, and ive got to say this past year, everyone has been locked down at home, Movie Theatres have been shut for the most part, so most people are consuming every thing on streaming this year so if ever. Do think this year could see streaming come out on top, but then again there are some very strong films that have come out on Video On Demand and in theatres and i think they have also got great reviews. Great reviews. The hollywood forei. N great reviews. The Hollywood Foreign press great reviews. The Hollywood Foreign press association, Foreign Press association, which selects the nominees and winners come have been coming for some criticism. Just take us through that. For some criticism. Just take us through that. Yes, the la times published us through that. Yes, the la times published an us through that. Yes, The Laj Times published an indepth times published an in depth story on the 87 members of the Hollywood Foreign press who are the people who vote for the Golden Globes, and they discovered that there is not one single black member, and i think it is born to say that three years ago, hollywoods times up organisation, they debuted their Campaign For Equality threes ago at the Golden Globes. Three years ago, it has come for the hfpa to urge for change mediate the. Meanwhile, three women have a nominated for Best Director this year that is a first. Take us through that and houthi using is going to win . I think it is great. Using is going to win . I think it is great, first using is going to win . I think it is great, first of using is going to win . I think it is great, first of all, using is going to win . I think it is great, first of all, to it is great, first of all, to see three women in that category for some usually it is difficult to see even one. Only five women have been nominated, we have Emerald Fennell with promising young woman, regina king with one night in miami and chloe zhao with nomadland. Ive got to say i think all three are really strong contenders, all three delivered great films, regina king is an oscar winner, chloe zhao made an incredible movie a few years ago called the rider, so a lot people are hoping it could be nomadland, it could be regina king, could be Emerald Fennell. Do you think the certificates. Downplayed impacted now that it is not his usual razzmatazz, glitz, glamour . I usual razzmatazz, glitz, glamour . Usual razzmatazz, glitz, clamour . ~ ,. , glamour . I think the Golden Globes is glamour . I think the Golden Globes is kind glamour . I think the Golden Globes is kind of glamour . I think the Golden Globes is kind of know glamour . I think the Golden Globes is kind of know to i glamour . I think the Golden Globes is kind of know to be the fun party awards, none of the fun party awards, none of the members really overlap with the members really overlap with the academy, so it is kind of the academy, so it is kind of the awards that exists in its own anomaly, it is always known to be a really fun booze event. With those elements missing, youre kind of losing a little bit of that unexpected, i think a virtual event, you take away the red carpet and who is going to turn up in what dress . It takes away a little bit of that kind of fun of human life and wash it all play out life, i also just think the awards calendar this year has shifted. Figure 28 is such a late time for the Golden Globes. It usually happens the first weekend of january, usually happens the first weekend ofjanuary, so i think there is a little bit of a disconnect, but then again everybody is still kind of at home, so maybe more people to in virtually. Home, so maybe more people to in virtually in virtually. And ust quickly, what else h in virtually. And just quickly, what else should in virtually. And just quickly, what else should we in virtually. And just quickly, what else should we be in virtually. And just quickly, i what else should we be looking about for for the awards . Im about for for the awards . Im very interested about for for the awards . In very interested to see what amy poehler and tina fey say. I did nothing they can ignore the criticism the hfpa are under and i am sure they are going to play off that document i do not think they can. And i also think they can. And i also think they can. And i also think they are not going to shy away from leaning into the past year, the whole idea of being on lockdown and watching things on lockdown and watching things on streaming.

Bye comedy. Thank you for taking us to your thoughts. Bye for comedy. Thank you for taking us to your thoughts. Bye for now. L to your thoughts. Bye for now. And that is by from me for now. You can reach me on twitter im samanthatvnews. Hello there. Weve got a quiet few days of weather coming up, some sunshine to come, some frosty mornings, a bit of fog around as well, but theres a tendency for the weather to turn a bit cloudier over the next few days and certainly a lot cooler by the end of the week as well. Right now, were seeing some low cloud. Some mist and fog patches move in across east anglia. They will continue to spread westwards over the next few hours, into the midlands, central and eastern parts of wales. Could be a few fog patches elsewhere. Where we keep the clear skies, though, its going to be cold with some frost, temperatures getting down to about minus three celsius in the very coldest spots, so could be a grey start for quite a few of you but there will be some cloud in scotland probably keeping the worst of the fog at bay here. That cloud will thin and break, with some spells of sunshine coming through later on. And actually, Northern Ireland should have a decent day too. Its probably across parts of east anglia, the midlands, central and eastern areas of wales where the low cloud and fog is most likely to linger. And where that happens, well, temperatures might only reach 7 degrees. Maybe thats even a bit generous. But for most of the uk, i think well see some sunshine and temperatures pushing on into double figures. For tuesday, same area of High Pressure still involved in the weather forecast, but we do have a little trough moving up from the south west. I think for many, it will be a rather grey start to the day on tuesday, with some mist and fog patches, some low cloud as well. There will be some sunshine to come through, particularly across scotland and into north west england, Western Parts of wales probably doing quite well as well, but later in the afternoon, well start to see that trough thicken the cloud up across the southwest, threatening some patches of rain. That rain could become a little bit more extensive as we head towards wednesday. That is across parts of Southern Wales and across southern counties of england. Could see a little bit of rain just about anywhere. And around some of these eastern coasts, i reckon its probably going to be quite grey, with the threat of a few patches of drizzle coming in from the north sea from time to time. Best of any sunshine more likely across northwestern areas. Again, where it stays rather cloudy and grey, itll be cool 5 or 6 degrees celsius in the south, still relatively mild. That is until thursday and friday, when this area of High Pressure starts to build in. We send northerly winds southwards down the north sea, and that ultimately will bring much cooler weather to all parts of the uk. So towards the end of the week, quite a bit of cloud on thursday, temperatures around 6 8 celsius. Friday, probably a little bit brighter, a little bit more sunshine. This is bbc news.
