Found in the uk. Hollywoods Golden Globes are kicking off in a virtual ceremony. The films mank, nomadland and promising young woman are among the frontrunners. We start in the us, where in the past couple of hours donald trump has made his first public appearance since leaving the white house last month. Mr trump told a conference of conservative supporters the journey that started four years ago when he became president is � far from over�. He also said he wouldnt be starting his own Political Party. From orlando, florida, our North America correspondent nick bryant sent this. 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 cheering. Who knows . I may even decide to beat them a third time, 0k . Cheering. But he hasnt yet declared his candidacy. 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 on january the sixth, 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 the sixth never happened. Nick bryant, bbc news, florida. Lets speak to our North America correspondent david willis. Hi, david. So what was donald trump saying . Well, lewis if anyone was in any doubt as to whether or not donald trump is intending to go away quietly, as it were, they have the answer. He has no such intention. He did say he is not planning to form a Political Party of his own but he would be leading the Republican Party to victory, he said. And he hinted that he may well be leading it four years from now going into the president ial election in the year 202a. Donald trump said that there are a lot of people who supported his make America Great again message. He called it a movement, great again message. He called ita movement, in great again message. He called it a movement, in fact. And he said thejourney had just begun, said the journey had just begun, that great things lie ahead for that movement. find begun, that great things lie ahead for that movement. And he doubled down ahead for that movement. And he doubled down on ahead for that movement. And he doubled down on his ahead for that movement. And he doubled down on his assertion doubled down on his assertion that he won the last election which he lost . Which he lost . Absolutely ri. Ht. A which he lost . Absolutely right. A lot which he lost . Absolutely right. A lot of which he lost . Absolutely right. A lot of people which he lost . Absolutely| right. A lot of people have been hoping, lewis, the donald trump may have been looking to put those very controversial claims behind him and move on, if you like. But clearly he does not intend to do so. Theyd hoped he would do so because of the division they have caused in this country, and of course that division led to that very violent insurrection at the Nations Capital just insurrection at the Nations Capitaljust at insurrection at the Nations Capital just at the start of january. But donald trump is continuing to maintain that this was a rigged election, that was subject to mass photo broad as he has put it does voter fraud, broad as he has put it does voterfraud, and has called broad as he has put it does voter fraud, and has called for a tightening of regulations going into the future. Thank ou, going into the future. Thank you. David 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. Chanting. 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. Explosions. 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 10 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. We heard yesterday from dr simon adams, the executive director of the Global Centre for the responsibility to protect. It advises the Un Security Council on mass atrocity crimes. We can speak to him again now on the latest situation. Thank you very much for coming back onto the program. Back onto the program. Thank ou for back onto the program. Thank you for having back onto the program. Thank you for having me, back onto the program. Thank you for having me, lewis. Back onto the program. Thank you for having me, lewis. Sol you for having me, lewis. So yesterday you for having me, lewis. 50 yesterday you you for having me, lewis. So yesterday you warned of a huge risk of an escalation. You said you didnt quite know what it would be but it seems thatjust 24 would be but it seems thatjust 2a hours on you have been approved right . 24 hours on you have been approved right . 24 hours on you have been approved right . Yes. I woke up this morning to this morning to heartbreaking messages from people inside myanmar with the reports of what happened in transpired, keepin what happened in transpired, keep in mind they are hours ahead of us. Certainly it has been a day where the un has said 18 a dad. We have sources indicate it may be as high as 26 people who were killed in six different cities. We now have got over 1100 people arrested 18 dead, all of this started once the military� s responded to what was a Peaceful Movement in which these processes were hoping to restore a democratically elected government. In this escalation. Elected government. In this escalation, do elected government. In this escalation, do you elected government. In this escalation, do you fear elected government. In this. Escalation, do you fear never seems like this over the coming days . I seems like this over the coming da 5 . , seems like this over the coming das . ,. ,. , days . I absolutely fear it and certainly those days . I absolutely fear it and certainly those messages days . I absolutely fear it and l certainly those messages again from people inside the country, people are afraid for their lives. It is not going to stop them from protesting but the messages from them are, where is the world who is going to help us . And the reports of the horrors that are happening on the streets. That is why i think, as i said yesterday, statements of concern are not going to cut it in this situation. There is actually going to have to be concerted International Pressure to hold myanmar� s military accountable. There has to be things like targeted sanctions on the generals, and arms embargo, no recognition, no diplomatic recognition, no diplomatic recognition and divestment from all of these military control businesses. They have to start feeling the pressure of the International Community or they will continue to wage war on their own people. Can i ask you about one their own people. Can i ask you about one member their own people. Can i ask you about one member of their own people. Can i ask you about one member of the about one member of the International Community in particular, china, obviously hugely powerful in the region. What role does it have now . China has been the protector of emr at the Un Security Council. They protected them from scrutiny in 2017 when the military committed genocide against the rohingya people and has always been an obstacle for any kind of action in the Un Security Council. The United States has the Security Council starting tomorrow so i think there should be increased pressure there but many of the things i just spoke about are things that states and regional organisations can do outside of the Un Security Council. And they should absolutely do so. And given the calls you have been making, how optimistic are you that International Pressure, countries, be that china, orwhoever, pressure, countries, be that china, or whoever, actually going to step up . I china, or whoever, actually going to step up . China, or whoever, actually going to step up . I have no faith in china. Going to step up . I have no faith in china. Even going to step up . I have no faith in china. Even their i faith in china. Even their track record, given a a genocide wasnt enough to stop them from shielding the generals in the myanmar, but certainly more pressure could be put on them. As i said, there is a whole bunch of actions that can be put in place without the Un Security Council but you cant help but be hopeful about the absolute determination, seeing ordinary people in the streets all across myanmar determined to stand up for their rights. I just hope the International Community stands up with them for once and behind them and beside them. Beside them. Simon adams, really important beside them. Simon adams, really important to beside them. Simon adams, really important to hear beside them. Simon adams, | really important to hear from you again. Thank you so much for turning up. For turning up. Thank you, lewis. Public Health England has identified the first cases in the uk of a coronavirus variant, that was first detected in northern brazil. Theres concern the manaus variant may be more transmissible, and less likely to respond to a vaccine, than the original virus. Five out of the six cases are linked to travel from brazil. The National Medical director for nhs england, professor stephen powis, says the country is well placed to deal with them. We expected to see this, we will see lots of minor variants occurring and some will have some importance. So it is important that we continue to sequence. The good news in in the uk we have a lot of capacity to sequence samples, therefore get out a lot of want occasions in the genetic code. We have good Contact Tracing in place and the third bit of good news is the new vaccines being used for covid can be used very rapidly so it is very likely that if we do need to change the vaccine, they can be done in months rather than years, which was the case with more traditional vaccines. Lets get some of the days other news. The syrian army says its destroyed most of a salvo of missiles fired at the damascus area by israel. It said the missiles were tracked 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. It aims to reduce tehrans Military Influence in the country. The British Foreign secretary says the arrests of 47 prominent Opposition Figures in hong kong is deeply disturbing. He said it showed the security law imposed by beijing was being used to eliminate political dissent.

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.

The Golden Globes is kicking off hollywoods award season around now, with a mainly virtual ceremony. This year, the event is being broadcast from two smaller venues, in california and new york, with frontline and essential workers amongst the audience. 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. Hello, peter. So the event has just kicked off . Just kicked off . Yes, it has ust not just kicked off .

This is| just got under way. This is really a split screen Golden Globes with the two presenters, amy poehler and tina fey, in different cities, here in los angeles and new york, and they openly show by explaining, as you just said, that instead of celebrities in the audience, et cetera brad pitt in the front row, it is first responders. And many of those people. And they actually did this, they widely praised those people who in many respects the world moving over the past year while we have been enduring this pandemic, because this is an awards show that is like no other because of the pandemic and they are doing their best by bringing in the celebrities at different remote locations Around The World and i think they will be holding their breath a little bit, because we have just at the first winner, daniel kaluuya, the actor in giudice and the sale winning for best supporting actor. The moment he heard he had won his connection went down as he was about to make his acceptance speech. Luckily they managed to get it back. I think they are just making it up and fingers crossed as the night goes on, because this is a ceremony by necessity. It has to be this way. Necessity. It has to be this wa. ~ y necessity. It has to be this wa. ~ ,. , way. Absolutely brilliant. I. Lad way. Absolutely brilliant. I lad we way. Absolutely brilliant. I glad we still way. Absolutely brilliant. I glad we still have way. Absolutely brilliant. I glad we still have our glad we still have our connection to you. Who else should we be looking out for . I think we should look out for two or three of the key films in the Drama Category, this is a film about herman mankiewicz, the screenwriter, back in the 19405 the screenwriter, back in the 1940s and 1950s, writing citizen kane, a black and white film really about the behind the scenes glamour and scandals of the time. A very different film, the trial of the chicago seven, a film set in 1967, the city at the time, chicago, was hosting me Democratic National convention, there were disturbances and it resulted in a trial. So this is based on true events. And Sasha Baron Cohen has a nomination in that category and also for his latest borat film. Again, very different, the father starring Sir Anthony Hopkins is in the top three. And for the total number of nominations, he is playing a Character Descending into dementia. It is a sad film, a very gritty film stop the character really portrays what people are aware of with this terrible disease, how would affect and your family. Olivia colman plays his daughter and she is also a double nominee because she plays the queen in the. Help me here. Plays the queen in the. Help me here me here. The crown. In the crown me here. The crown. In the crown and me here. The crown. In the crown. And she me here. The crown. In the crown. And she is me here. The crown. In the crown. And she is a me here. The crown. In the crown.

Yes, and, in fact, reference was made criticism themselves.

It is a reference to this controversy outlined in an article in the Los Angeles Times this week that none of, is actually 87 voting members, but none of them are black. And the times of Movement Today publishing a full page ad in the los angeles timejust once again highlighting that issue times up. The Hollywood Press Association a few days ago did acknowledge it, saying they had acknowledge it, saying they had a plan to rectify the situation moving forward. Moving forward. Good stuff.

Is the results start to ct first, the plates slid gently off the restaurant tables. Then suddenly, the tables, the chairs and people crashed sideways and downwards, and 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 i 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 hospital. 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 speech 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. 18 people died in the deadliest violence since the coup. We can now speak to film and Tv Awards Commentator and journalist piya sinha roy. Thanks very much for coming on the programme. The programme. Thanks for havinu the programme. Thanks for having me the programme. Thanks for having me. The the programme. Thanks for having me. The golden the programme. Thanks for i having me. The Golden Globes i ust having me. The Golden Globes i just under having me. The Golden Globes i just under we having me. The Golden Globes i just under we have having me. The Golden Globes i just under we have had having me. The Golden Globes i just under we have had our i just under we have had our first result grew. But it is an interesting, intriguing backdrop to the Golden Globes this time results through. What stuck out to you about some of the controversies before things even kicked off . I think it has been definitely to modules for the Golden Globes. One of the things that happen this month was once they announced their nominations it was very obvious that there were some major movies and tv shows missing and that they happened to be Black Clad Films and tv shows, shows like i may destroy you or the five bloods or ma rainey� s black bottom were missing from those top Drama Category is in film and tv. So that was something that had already come under fire. And then there was the case with the movie minari, which is a korean american film, it is made by an american director, it is his very personal story of his parents split was journey to america as korean immigrants. It is a very american film but it is an immigrant story so most of the dialogue is in korean and therefore, according to Golden Globes rules, it was placed in the Foreign Language category and did not qualify for the best picture categories and that has been a huge contention, because it is an american film, american filmmakers, and yet you dont deem it american because of language. And this taps into larger issues in general about other rotation of the asian community, especially at this sensitive time. I think those two things had already been driving the narrative and then we get the la times expose on the membership of the hfpa and how they do not have any black mambas. How they do not have any black mambas mambas. Just how big a story has that been mambas. Just how big a story has that been in mambas. Just how big a story has that been in hollywood . I mambas. Just how big a story. Has that been in hollywood . The funny thing has that been in hollywood . The funny thing is has that been in hollywood . Iie funny thing is its has that been in hollywood . Iie funny thing is its actually has that been in hollywood . Iie funny thing is its actually a very well known thing, weirdly enough. Most of us who work in the industry know about this sort of quirky make up of the hfpa. They are a bit of an anomaly as a group. They are not really people who work in the industry, they are not like the industry, they are not like the academy where these are people from the actual industry bridges, they are not actors or cinematographers or anything like that. They are this group of foreign journalists, like that. They are this group of foreignjournalists, as like that. They are this group of foreign journalists, as a journalist, im not entirely sure of all of them are working journalists. But that la times story really dug deep and really showed that this group, there are 87 members, very few members, the fact that they dont have any black mambas among them is very concerning. I think it was openly known in hollywood for a long time. Members. It has really come to light. Ithink members. It has really come to light. I think that has been quite fascinating to see. What interesting quite fascinating to see. What Interesting Development i quite fascinating to see. What Interesting Development is i quite fascinating to see. What Interesting Development is the nominees in the director category, a very different make up. Category, a very different make u. , category, a very different make u. , category, a very different make up. Yes. In the past, only five women have up. Yes. In the past, only five women have ever up. Yes. In the past, only five women have ever been i up. Yes. In the past, only five i women have ever been nominated in this category. This year we have three women among the five contenders in the directors category. That is encouraging to see. I think has been really difficult forfemale to see. I think has been really difficult for female directors crack into the directors races across all the awards. This year we have Emerald Fennell with promising young woman, chloe zhao with no drives, and regina king with my 19 may. Nomadland. It is good to see the diversity. One night in miami. The diversity. One night in miami miami. Im sure youll be sta in miami. Im sure youll be staying no miami. Im sure youll be staying up over miami. Im sure youll be staying up over the miami. Im sure youll be staying up over the next i miami. Im sure youll be l staying up over the next few hours to watch. We will see as the numbers come in. Thank you for talking to us, piya sinha roy. From Golden Globes to inflatable dancing balls, in stuttgart in germany. The artist has enlisted performers to step inside sealed pvc bubbles and pose for his latest work. It is called social distance stacks and although it is a bit noisy when the balls are inflated but inside dancers and musicians are free to move and musicians are free to move and play and there is a 15 minute limit before the oxygen inside starts to run out. The project creator said the logistics were very difficult but it gave him some wonderful pictures. That is it from me. Do stay with us. I will be back with the headlines in a couple of minutes peoples time. You can reach me on twitter. Im lvaughanjones. This is bbc news. Bye bye. 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 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.
