and could you marry someone you had onlyjust met.? the reality show from down under, thats riding high in the ratings. hello, i'm katty kay in washington, christian fraser is in london. why didn't the capitol hill police know that violence was possible onjanuary 6th? did the fbi miss crucial intelligence that might have alerted authorities to the eventual assault on congress? today the director of the fbi chris wray was giving his first public account of what the agency knew when — and how they responded. he was pushed on whether the bureau had missed key intelligence. he mostly dodged the questions. "we need to do better at collecting," was as far as he went. he did though dispel the myth, fed by the likes of republican senator ronjohnson, that antifa or fake trump supporters were somehow involved. it was he said a clear cut case of domestic terrorism. i was appalled like you at the violence and destruction we saw that day. i was appalled that you, our countries elected leaders were victimised right here in these very halls. that attack, that seige was criminal behaviour plain and simple. and it's behaviour that we, the fbi view as domestic terrorism. so what else did we learn from his testimony? the director told us that over 270 suspects have so far been arrested by the fbi in connection with the january 6th attack. he revealed the number of domestic terror investigations conducted by the bureau is up 40% since last year. and yet, the federal government continues to spend far more in money and manpower on international terrorism. 80% of the bureau's terrorism cases are international, compared to 20% that are domestic. when pressed on the issue of intelligence sharing, director wray was not able to say why a situational report — from the fbi's norfolk field office was all the bureau shared before the attack and why its agents didn't pick up more of the groups�* online chatter. stacey plaskett is the delegate to the us house from the virgin islands and was one of the democrats' house impeachment managers last month. she joins us now from washington. thank you forjoining us. when you heard him lay out so clearly that this was an act of domestic terrorism and that this was not fake trump supporters or antique who are to blame but largely these were trump supporters and white supremacy is the main form of domestic terrorism. did not make you think that that

businesses can reopen from next week, and restaurants can operate at full capacity. that announcement comes despite a worrying rise in covid variants in texas. houston has become the first city in the united states to have recorded every major variant, many of which are far more contagious than the original strain. 0fficials says these mutations have been circulating for at least six weeks. which might in part explain why suddenly the level of new cases in the us has plateaud at 70,000 a day. it had been decreasing steadily since peaking in earlyjanuary — but you will see from the last few days, the graph is flatlining, not going up or down. the same is true with deaths. and it is still at a stubbornly high level. this hour we are standing by — president biden is due to speak in the

they didn't tell anyone about it which is kind of a lost opportunity because we know that role modelling here plays a part. and something like 42% of republican voters say that they do not intend to

northwest, but that's where we have beautiful clear skies for much of the day, stunning picture in argyle and butte. further east, once again, low cloud rolling in off the north sea, made for a rather grey—looking afternoon, and at times, it felt on the chilly side. some of that cloud did break up and actually, if you look at the satellite picture, you can see how the sunshine got to work nibbling away, pushing that cloud back to the north sea. so the best of the sunshine certainly further west and along that south coast. now, this cloud down into the southwest, that's some showers that will arrive through the night tonight, moving up through cornwall across devon and eventually into south wales. once again, low cloud, mist and fog may well push back in off the north sea. some clearer skies into the northwest. here, it could be on the chilly side. but generally speaking, it is going to be a pretty messy story to tell, once again, for wednesday. this weather front will continue to enhance some showers up into the southwest. elsewhere, it stays largely quiet. now, if you do have a chance to see the sunrise, the chances are it could be a slightly more orange flavour to it with some saharan dust in the upper atmosphere. so if you're a weather watcher, get out with your camera and take a shot, and send it in for us. so as we go through wednesday, then, we can split the country into three. some clearer skies, some sunshine out to the northwest, low cloud, misty, murky conditions again along the east coast and that band of showers gradually drifting its way steadily into the midlands and perhaps into the southeast. ahead of it, with some sunshine, we are likely to see highs of 14 celsius. as we move out of wednesday into thursday, this high pressure will sink its way steadily down from the north, and a brisk northeasterly wind will start to dominate the weather story, and that is introducing a cooler air mass. so noticeable difference to the feel of the weather. there's a weak weather front as well, which will bring spits and spots of rain, really, out of scotland into the northeast of england. quite a lot of cloud around on thursday as well, but more importantly, it's going to feel noticeably cooler for all of us with temperatures ranging between 6—8 celsius. ten celsius in the southwest if we're lucky. and that's the trend as we head into friday into the start of the weekend. largely dry, but cooler. you're watching bbc news with me, katty kay, in washington, christian fraser is in london. our top stories... from competition to

they have targeted some of president putin's top officials and also 14 firms that were involved in the production of biological and chemical agents. us intelligence has concluded that the russian government was behind the nerve agent attack. you will remember that mr navalny was jailed on his return to russia from germany. and his team have just released new pictures of the prison they believe he is being kept in. it called penal colony number 2 — outside moscow. the head of the federal prison service, alexander kalashnikov, is one of the officials who has been sanctioned today. russia denies any involvement in navalny�*s poisoning, and said it will retaliate against the sanctions. we can bring in our guest, alena epifanova, who's joining us from berlin. she's an expert on the...

last year working remotely, using your kitchen table as your office desk, board—room, water cooler station — you probably didn't need researchers from stanford university to tell you what was obvious. you are suffering zoom fatigue. a new study this week finds virtual meetings are more stressful than real—life ones. its a condition called "nonverbal overload" — in which we suffer from excessive eye—to—eye contact and the hours staring at our own profile. so we have two meetings day. this is how we used to be — all of us in vision, some of us a little more slouchy than others, and generally talking over each other because we couldn't find the mute button. christian actually looks like he's fast asleep on his bed. here was our meeting this morning. a sea of black screens punctuated by everyone's red mute symbol. we are zoomed out. so here to teach us how to improve our videocall experience is the work psychologist marissa shuffler, associate professor at clemson university in south carolina. thank you very much forjoining us, professor. a look, when i read that report that came out at stanford, and it did clarify what everyone knew, zoom is stressful, but what i thought was interesting about that report is that one of the reasons that zoom is stressful, and this is particularly the case for women, is not so much seeing other people, but ourselves reflected back to us.

we were spoilt with an early taste of spring sunshine and warmth, temperatures peaking quite widely in the mid—teens across the country. but later on this week, it is going to turn much colder and, actually, those temperatures will be a little bit subdued for this time of year. largely dry, yes, but a noticeable difference to the feel of the weather. and that's because we've got a couple of weak weather fronts to clear away, one in the south, and then this cold front is allowing another area of high pressure to build from the north, and the wind direction changing. a stronger, fresher north—easterly flow will drive a colder air mass across the whole of the uk, taking that milder air back into the mediterranean. so that's something to bear in mind. perhaps, though, on wednesday, if you're lucky enough to have a sunrise, it could be a beautiful one. a little more in the way of an orange—russet tone to the sun because of some saharan dust perhaps in the upper atmosphere. it will be quite cloudy once again along north sea coasts, and that will be stubborn to clear away. here is our weather front, bringing showery outbreaks of rain into the south—west and parts of south wales, gradually drifting its way northwards. favoured spots for sunshine once again northwest england, western scotland. in the terms of the feel of things, cooler to the north, 4—8 celsius. we mightjust see 1a if we get more sunshine in the south—east and we dodge the showers. but there will be plenty of showers to come as we go through wednesday night, as that frontal system pivots and clears slowly to the south—east. at the same time, there's that cold front starting to push in to the far north—east. so a bit of a contrast with the feel of the weather first thing on thursday morning, low single figures to the north, perhaps 6—7 celsius to the south. that front still yet to clear away. 0ur cold front a very weak affair, a band of cloud, the odd spit or spot of rain as it moves its way out of the scottish borders into the north—east of england and, generally speaking, for much of england and wales, it will be a cloudy story, but it'll be a largely dry one. but, certainly, it will be noticeably cooler story in comparison to of late, with those temperatures really struggling to get into double figures, 5—8 celsius perhaps for many. then, as we move out of friday, the cold front�*s eased away, we might see a little more of the way of sunshine coming through but, again, always along the north sea coast — cooler, breezier here, and those temperatures again no higher than 5—8 celsius. now, as we move out of friday towards the weekend, high pressure looks likely to lose its grip, and there's the potential for some weather fronts to start to push in off the atlantic, turning it increasingly windier to the north—west and, potentially, wetter at times, maybe even a return to some snow across the hills. the jet stream that was fairly even across the uk is actually slipping its way down to the south, and once we are on the north side of the jet, that means that we stay in that cooler air mass. so it does look likely, as we head towards the weekend, no great change. those temperatures still on the subdued side, but a good deal of dry weather until sunday, when there are signs of something a little wetter, and that brings us to further ahead, because it does look likely that, potentially, the weather could turn a little more unsettled, with some rain times, windy and cool, and that could bring a return to some snow to the tops of higher ground. tonight at ten: 0n the eve of the budget, confirmation that the furlough scheme is to be extended to the end of september. this is the budget document for tomorrow... the chancellor is set to pledge more support forjobs and businesses, as the covid restrictions are gradually lifted across the uk. the furlough scheme will be continued until the crisis is over, with workers receiving 80% of their current salary. it was manageable, and, like i say, without it people wouldn't be... i definitely wouldn't have been able to pay my bills. and then there's potential for losing your house and getting in a lot of trouble. and the total cost to the taxpayer for all the support schemes
