tonight with the context, ruth smeeth who was a labour mp until the last election making her debut with us and a familiar face to many of you ron christie, former advisor to george w bush good evening. we will be bringing you the best analysis of all the top stories with our panel. analysis of all the top stories with our panel. stay analysis of all the top stories with our panel. stay with analysis of all the top stories with our panel. stay with us analysis of all the top stories with our panel. stay with us for analysis of all the top stories with our panel. stay with us for the analysis of all the top stories with our panel. stay with us for the next hour to get their insights of what is happening around the world. we will start with party gait. make no mistake, the british prime minister is in peril, in greater political danger than he's been at any point in this pandemic. the latest partygate revelation, an email from principal private secretary, martin reynolds to number 10 staff, inviting them to a downing street garden party, appears to flout in every rule the government had set down for the rest of us. (00v) "make the most of the lovely weather," it said, "socially distanced drinks" "make the most of the lovely weather," it said, "socially distanced drinks" "bring your own booze." we well remember where we were at the time. families divided, the elderly locked up in care homes. weddings, funerals cancelled. this afternoon, facing an urgent question from the oppostion, it fell to the paymaster general to issue the governments holding statement. i apologise again, unreservedly, for the upset that these allegations have caused. there is no need for an investigation into the symbol, central questions today. did the prime minister attend the event in the downing street garden on the 20th of may, 2020? so far — mrjohnson has refused to give an answer to that key question. was he himself at the party? the prime minister says he's waiting until an internal inquiry led by senior civil servant sue grey is completed. but it may have already tipped the balance of the public opinion. according to savanta comres�*s snap poll out today, two—thirds of uk voters think it's time for borisjohnson to resign his position. greg baker is the former chair of the canterbury conservative association and he resigned over the handling of the pandemic. good evening. the opposition benches today were packed. the conservative backbenchers were empty as the paymaster general read his statement. do you suspect those mps that were absent today are taking soundings on whether borisjohnson is the right person to lead the party? i is the right person to lead the .a ? ., i, , is the right person to lead the party? i am absolutely sure they are caettin an party? i am absolutely sure they are getting an earful— party? i am absolutely sure they are getting an earful from _ party? i am absolutely sure they are getting an earful from their - party? i am absolutely sure they are getting an earful from their party . getting an earful from their party members, their local party members. i worked for the party and supported them over 20 years and i left over them over 20 years and i left over the way they have been handling covid over the past two years and if you look at the by—elections in the likes of shropshire i am definitely not the only one. i think that former conservative supporters like me who have left the party have done it for three reasons, the first is the whole approach to covid, it has not been what we voted for. it has not been what we voted for. it has not been what we voted for. it has not been a conservative approach. they have been spending money like water, accruing massive debt, a00 billion across the whole economy. they have been refusing to let people exercise their personal responsibility, which i thought they would have done and instead try to take away liberties. the downing street parties are just the icing on the cake. it is the rank hypocrisy of having spent two years telling people to stay at home whilst they were having a bring your own bottle parties. were having a bring your own bottle arties. . , , parties. that is the interesting oint, parties. that is the interesting point. clearly _ parties. that is the interesting point, clearly there _ parties. that is the interesting point, clearly there were - parties. that is the interesting i point, clearly there were number parties. that is the interesting - point, clearly there were number 10 staff members who saw that hypocrisy, because according to laura kuenssberg, there were internal e—mails and one response was, is this for real? another one was, is this for real? another one was, why is martin encouraging a mass gathering in the garden? yet they went ahead with it anyway! exactly. there are two ways that the number 10 staff and their knowledge of the situation and how wrong it was is the worst aspect. the first one you just described, the second is that these people were spending every hour of the working day immersed in the data around covid and they had a real appreciation, a true appreciation of the actual risk of covid to most people, but at the same time they were going out and trying to scare the public absolutely silly. i think it is that rank hypocrisy and that almost unethical approach to telling the public there is one level of risk while they appreciated it was entirely different. you put that on top of how they addressed the past two years of covid and how they try to approach it and ijust two years of covid and how they try to approach it and i just wish that this conservative government would realise that to address a major health problem, you do not prescribe a massive die —— dose of socialism. ruth, cannot point you to timeline, i want you to see this, the power day in downing street was on may the 20th, five days later, from that party, we have dominic cummings in the downing street garden, addressing the press on his trip to barnard castle. questions were asked why the government did not take a harder line on my trip. maybe this is the context, that in fact he had an e—mail in his inbox, inviting him toa drinks an e—mail in his inbox, inviting him to a drinks partyjust five days earlier? to a drinks party

down are given exactly the same treatment as all those people who were arrested for having coffees in the park with friends while being followed by a police drone and threatened with prison or £10,000 fines. if it is one rule for us, it has to be one rule for them as well. the prime minister at _ rule for them as well. the prime minister at pm _ rule for them as well. the prime minister at pm cues

united states, the number of patients in hospital with covid—19 has hit a record high. just shy of 1a6000 people are in hospitals with covid—19 surpassing the previous peak set injanuary 2021, as that is twice as many as were in hospital two weeks ago. important qualifier, they weren't all admitted for covid, a proportion of those were people who went in for other ailments, and tested positive while in hospital. but the vast majority are the unvaccinated. have a look at this the bottom line those who have had jabs, the top line those who have not. a little earlier, the us chief medical advisor anthony fauci was giving evidence to a congressional commitee on the current state of play. here's his repsonse to a question on vaccines. if you look at vaccinated versus unvaccinated, there is about a ten times greater chance that you will be infected if you were unvaccinated. about a 17 times greater chance that she would be hospitalised, if you were unvaccinated and about a 20 times likelihood that you would be dead if you were unvaccinated. so, when you look at every parameter, ten times, 17 times, 20 times, infection, hospitalisation, death. wrong, every parameter points to a value of vaccination. we are in the midterms like, how are the republicans going to deal with this, how they're going to walk back donald trump is micro—messaging on vaccinations? i donald trump is

either side of the pond, staff shortages in school. staff shortages in hospitals, staff shortages in schools. in england, one in 12 teachers were absent last week, during the first week of term. more than 300,000 students were off because of covid. it's a fine balance keeping staff and students safe. and in chicago the the third largest school district in the united states, it led to a walk out last week. teachers unhappy with the safety protocols in place. around 3a0,000 students were denied four days of school. an agreement has finally been reached — they return to class on wednesday. the democratic mayor of chicago laurie lightfoot was embarrased and not a little bit angry at what has unfolded. someone at will ask who won and who lost? no one wins when our students are out of the place where they can learn the best and where they are safest. after being out of school forfour days in a row, i am sure many students will be excited to get back into the classroom, with their teachers and peers and their parents and guardians can now breathe a much deserved sigh of relief. ruth, iam ruth, i am interested to know your thoughts, you are a trade unionist. which comes first, the physical and mental well—being of children in school and of course that has taken a real toll through the pandemic or the interests of the teachers who have real concerns about the safety protocols? i have real concerns about the safety rotocols? ~ . have real concerns about the safety rotocols? .. . ~. protocols? i think it is one in the same and _ protocols? i think it is one in the

i think it is one in the same and if you look to see i protocols? i think it is one in the j same and if you look to see what protocols? i think it is one in the i same and if you look to see what the trade unionists and what the teachers were asking what the unions were trying to negotiate, it is things that were already in place in the uk, they were asking for children to do a lateral flow test before they entered school, asking to make sure that they were safe and that their students were safe as well and that they were not becoming super spreaders. that is not an unreasonable thing to asked to make sure that your work place is safe, so that the children you're working with our say. i think anyone on either side of the atlantic would suggest that teachers do not care about their students and that teachers do not know about ultimate responsibility, the responsibility is to make sure that the students are getting an education and are in are getting an education and are in a safe environment. there is a responsibility on politicians to make sure that happens and we have not got that right on many occasions in the uk, but we do not have to pay for lateral flow tests in the uk, they are $10 for every two in the us and it is only recently that they have been able to get it mandated, test sent to people's homes and it is not the same as here. it is almost impossible to compare the uk to the us. what we have seen, even in the uk, is that teachers have not had the resources they needed and that we have had ridiculous examples of schools with doors and windows being kept open when it is freezing and kids having to sit with their coats on. we have not got it right here either but everyone is doing their best, i think, within the compliance of an extra ordinary

teachers who are filling gaps all over the curriculum at the moment, they have had a massive increase in downloads for the classes, you have english teacher standing tall, doing what they can and

that story developing in atlanta. let's look at some of the other stories making headlines today fans will be able to return to scotland's stadiums next week after the first minister announced that covid restrictions are being lifted on large outdoor events from monday. since boxing day no more than 500 people have been allowed to attend. nicola sturgeon says there are some signs that scotland is "starting to turn the corner" with omicron. from today— if you test positive for covid on a lateralflow test in england but don't have symptoms — you no longer need to have a pcr test as well. the rules are being relaxed to try to ease pressure on supplies. it comes as the government considers whether to shorten the quarantine time for those infected from 7 to 5 days. two men have been arrested in connection with the disappearance of a teenager who has been missing for 15 years. andrew gosden, from doncaster, was iii when he was last seen in september 2007 apparently travelling to london. the two men, aged 38 and a5, who were arrested in london on suspicion of kidnap and human trafficking, have both been released under investigation. when the united states withdrew from afghanistan in the summer, there was a decision to make: should the administration allow the collapse of a state that had been mostly been kept afloat by foreign aid. or should they work with the taliban, the sworn enemy, to prevent the country's implosion? five months on and the biden administration is yet to set out a clear path. today, the un launched its biggest ever appeal. it says it needs at least five billion dollars, half of itjust for food. to feed more than 22 million people on the brink of starvation — that's more than half the entire population. the money is also needed to help some 6 million afghans who have already fled to neighbouring countries. many of the public sector workers have not been since august. our middle east correspondent has returned to afghanistan and visited a hospital in the capital, kabul. ten years ago, i lived next door to this hospital. it was a time of a great surge of men, material and billions of dollars into afghanistan. western diplomats would say, don't try and build perfection here, they were not trying to create switzerland. who knows what they were trying to create, but it wasn't theirs. it wasn't a country where half the people, more than half the people are going hungry and babies like this one are near starvation. a regular feature of this programme will be to dive into the debate in the us congress. suzanne kianpour is going to be our ears on capitol hill. i know you have been speaking today to republicans on the senate foreign relations committee. how are they going to deal with this? how are they going to get money to those who need it in afghanistan? like many things in american politics unfortunately afghanistan is also divided on party lines. the republicans that i spoke to kind of range, there was senator rand paul who said that he was totally opposed to any aid actually going to afghanistan and said perhaps this would make the afghan people, he said, good and hopping mad and overthrow them. now, other republicans i spoke to were tempered and recognised the humanitarian situation but they also were uncomfortable about having aid money fall into the hands of the taliban because they believed that the taliban would not actually get this aid money and they said it would lead to it not been delivered to the people. one senator, who is a senior republican, said he does not even trust the united nations and the key word here is mistrust towards the avenues where this aid would be used to get to the afghan people. senator graham walked past me and said i want to avoid the people of afghanistan dying a horrible death and count me in for helping them. this is all words, but in practice how does that happen? there is no policy, it remains to be seen right now. , , ., ~' , policy, it remains to be seen right

president biden has started the year with a renewed focus on voting rights. today he is in georgia, where he has been speaking in the last hour, imploring the us senate to pass new voting rights legislation. georgia is one of 19 states that passed new voting laws since the 2020 election. a 90—page bill supported by republicans in march, ends voting hours early, which means working people can't cast their vote when a shift is over. it adds rigid restrictions on absentee ballots. and it makes it a crime to provide water to voters while they wait in line. mr biden says the us senate needs to defend the right to vote and should pass two democratic bills that would restore voting rights in republican led states. the issue is the fillibuster. a tool the opposition has employed in the senate to talk out a bill, before it can be voted on. four times, in recent months, republicans have used it. mr biden, has said in the last hour, that it should be set aside, a so—called "carve out", so that voting rights legislation can progress. jim crow 2.0 is about two insidious things. voter suppression and election subversion. it is no longer about who gets to vote, it is about making it harder to vote. it is about who gets to count the vote, and whether your vote counts at all. it is not hyperbole, this is a fact. this matters to all of us. the goal of the former president's allies is to disenfranchise anyone who votes against them. simple as that. the facts won't matter. your vote won't matter. they willjust decide what they want and then do it. with us tonight is georgia's republican secretary of state, brad raffensperger. to remind you, he was the man who resisted president trump, when he was asked to "find 11,780 votes" in a statejoe biden won by 11,779 votes. mr raffensperger, good evening. you are currently up for re—election by a republican congressman who objected to you certifying the president's victory. do you worry that, one day, republican officials in your state might try to change the outcome of an election for political purposes? hie. the outcome of an election for political purposes?— the outcome of an election for political purposes? no, when it was ut into political purposes? no, when it was put into law — political purposes? no, when it was put into law last _ political purposes? no, when it was put into law last year, _ political purposes? no, when it was put into law last year, we _ political purposes? no, when it was put into law last year, we have - political purposes? no, when it was put into law last year, we have an i put into law last year, we have an accountability measure that the board can fire a board and replace it and then that new election board will hire a new election director. that is only after you do a thoughtful, thorough process where you have counties that habitually fail. we have one which has failed its voters since 1993, as far back as we could find. that is nearly 30 years. so something needs to change. we need accountability if people can get things done. president biden came here and he said it wasn't hyperbole, but it was. we have increased the numbers of days for early voting. we have photo id for early voting. we have photo id for early —— for absentee voting. it is early -- for absentee voting. it is illeial early -- for absentee voting. it is illegal now _ early -- for absentee voting. it is illegal now in _ early —— for absentee voting. it is illegal now in georgia for somebody to drop off your ballot for you, called ballot harvesting. have you ever seen evidence in georgia that those ballots dropped off were fraudulent or cast by ineligible voters?

campaigning? thanks for having me. we don't necessarily use the word i we don't necessarily use the word boycott, but we did decide we were not going to attend because we thought this could have been given in washington dc, it could have been delivered to the democratic caucus at congress. if you did that in congress, they could have gone to work and started the vote, which is part of what our understanding was they were planning on doing, which was to reintroduce these bills for another vote. they will be doing that tomorrow. we decided that we felt it would be better suited for us to not attend the speech. we did not know what he was going to say, we didn't want to be used as props. we wanted to make sure that he would have enough incentive to give a strong speech, to do a strong call—out for the filibuster to be reformed, to change the rules will stop it as appears that that is what he has done. let stop it as appears that that is what he has done-— he has done. let me pick that up. the realities _ he has done. let me pick that up. the realities are, _ he has done. let me pick that up. the realities are, he _ he has done. let me pick that up. the realities are, he doesn't - he has done. let me pick that up. the realities are, he doesn't have| the realities are, he doesn't have the votes. he doesn't have the votes in the senate, so what is this all about today? you say you want him to go back to washington and do something concrete, what can he possibly do if two senior senators decide they will not vote for it? keepin decide they will not vote for it? keep in mind that two months ago, when he didn't have the votes on infra structure, what did he do? you went to congress, met with the house, met with regressive democrats, who were withholding their votes, democrats, who were withholding theirvotes, he democrats, who were withholding their votes, he told them what he wanted and when he wanted it. as a result, what did they do? they passed infrastructure despite the reservations and in spite of the fact that several people said they wouldn't. at the end of the day, he doesn't have the votes because he hasn't worked hard to get the votes in regard to voting rights. he gave dozens of speeches on every structure across the country during 2021. the speech he has given tonight is now his second speech since he has been in office, and the last one he gave was injuly of last yearin last one he gave was injuly of last year in philadelphia. we say he doesn't have the votes, we have to acknowledge that part of the reason is he hasn't done what he is doing today, which is saying, i want filibuster reform. he is still talking, i think, filibuster reform. he is still talking, ithink, so filibuster reform. he is still talking, i think, so i don't know if he has mentioned the senators by name. but part of what we need to see is that he will actually lean into the words of the speech and work the same way that other presidents have. he has to switch over some votes. this beach is a good start and if he follows up these words with actions that we believe he has the skills to do, then we will see movement on these bills, hopefully by monday. i then we will see movement on these bills, hopefully by monday.— bills, hopefully by monday. i want to talk to you _ bills, hopefully by monday. i want to talk to you about _ bills, hopefully by monday. i want to talk to you about stacey -

mean for him? i don't think she said she was boycotting him. she said it| she was boycotting him. she said it was a scheduling conflict and i have no choice but to take the truth of her words. the truth is, you have people who have been disillusioned, notjust people who have been disillusioned, not just elected people who have been disillusioned, notjust elected officials but voters who we talk to everyday who are disillusioned and frustrated. they have been waiting for a speech closer to what he has talked about today. this will be a step towards mending some of those relationships and getting back some of that support. at the end of the day, it will how he follows up this speech with actions, whether we get those votes that are holding out and what role he plays in making that happen. that will have a lot to do with whether or not he maintains the black support that he previously had and whether that will carry over into black turnout in 2022, the like of which we saw in 2020.— into black turnout in 2022, the like of which we saw in 2020. thank you for 'oinin: of which we saw in 2020. thank you forjoining us- _ of which we saw in 2020. thank you forjoining us. it _ of which we saw in 2020. thank you forjoining us. it will— of which we saw in 2020. thank you forjoining us. it will be _ of which we saw in 2020. thank you forjoining us. it will be a _ of which we saw in 2020. thank you forjoining us. it will be a big -

"is it," he asked, "a tardis, a covid isolation unit, or a glass changing room?" in fact, it is a "quiet space", which i think is a tacit acknowledgement that the experiment with open plan offices has failed. it has, it has failed. i am prepared to die on this hill. this is the bbc news room, we have high—sided armchairs to sit in, from which you can stare into the newsroom abyss six floors below

some more. hello. time for our long—term weather outlook and the picture behind me already gives it away. having said that, not foggy everywhere. some sunshine around as well, but the fog that does develop in the coming days could be pretty stubborn to clear, especially during the afternoon. let's look at the forecast for wednesday. broadly speaking, high pressure sitting on top of the uk. that means often like winds, settled weather, clear skies. where the fog lingers, it will not be clear at all. it will be great and cold. early on wednesday morning, there will be some fog around four southern parts of the uk. for most of us, it should be fine with some wintry sunshine. temperatures will be around seven to 10 degrees, milder in western scotland with some showers. that is because we have an atlantic breeze. that will continue into wednesday night. once again under the clear skies and with the clear weather, we will see more fog forming. the high pressure is not budging and it looks very much the same for thursday, high pressure across the south of the uk, where the lightest of the winds will be and where most of the fog will form. thursday into friday, some really dense fog forming, especially in southern parts of englert and southern wales. this is an example of thursday morning. you can see the dense patches of fog early on, some of it very slow to clear. it will linger into the afternoon, and where it does, it really will feel very cold. temperatures will struggle to get above freezing in one or two spots. this will be the exception, not the rule, but for many it will clear and temperatures will be closer to around eight or 9 degrees and once again in parts of scotland, with the ocean breeze, temperatures up to ii celsius. on friday, the high pressure is still with us. there will be very little change in our weather pattern. look how dense that fog is, a lot of it across parts of southern england. they could be fog elsewhere to the north as well. where it clears, changes will reach maybe 80 degrees, butjust the indication in some spots where it is cloudy and murky, only four degrees. saturday and sunday, not much changes. high pressure dominating much of the weather, just a week weather front moving into much of the weather, just a week weatherfront moving into northern parts of the country, which means more of a breeze and maybe some spots of rain for the north of scotland. but the vast majority of us, saturday into sunday, dry weather but obviously misty and foggy once again. this calm, foggy wintry weather continues into the weekend with similar temperatures. once again, where the fog lingers, it will be very cold during the day. the outlook into next week, so the high pressure has a different shape here, but more or less it is right across us, which means little change. just a hint that things turn more unsettled later next week. notice the temperature of the atmosphere in the yellow, it is warmer. we are in that in between zone, so temperatures were not very much. they are more or less the same for most major towns and cities and i'm sure you will discover that on your app as well. goodbye. tonight at ten — borisjohnson under growing pressure, after that drinks gathering at the height of lockdown. it happened when large gatherings were illegal, conservative and labour argue about the consequences. i apologise again unreservedly for the upset that these allegations have caused. there's no need for an investigation into the simple central question today — did the prime minister attend the event in the downing street garden? but from families who were unable to be with loved ones when they died, there's little patience. people died sticking to the rules, and they broke those rules to have a bottle of wine.
