after rafa benitez was sacked. it comes after their defeat to norwich, which leaves them 16th in the table. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. two teenagers have been arrested in manchester after a british man took four people hostage in a synagogue in texas on saturday. greater manchester police said the teenagers are being questioned as "part of the ongoing investigation into the attack." 44—year—old malik faisal akram from blackburn was shot dead by police after a ten—hour stand—off in dallas. the four hostages, who included a rabbi, were unharmed. downing street has described the incident as a "terrible and anti—semitic act of terrorism". our correspondent sophie long has this report. this is the moment the three final hostages ran for their lives, more than ten hours after their ordeal began. a successful but nonetheless terrifying end to the delicate, day—long operation involving negotiators and heavily armed police. the man, now identified as malik faisal akram, a 44—year—old british citizen originally from lancashire, was shot and killed. he'd claimed to have a gun and a bomb when he interrupted a peaceful morning service being streamed from the congregation beth israel in dallas. it didn't look good, it didn't sound good. we were terrified. and when i saw an opportunity where he wasn't in a good position, i made sure that the two gentlemen who were still with me, that they were ready to go, the exit wasn't too far away... i told them to go, i threw a chair at the gunman, and i headed for the door. and all three of us were able to get out without even a shot being fired. akram, who arrived in the united states two weeks ago, was heard ranting about religion and demanding the release of a pakistani neuroscientist with suspected links to al-qaeda currently serving a prison sentence in texas. people came here, a place of worship, to pray. but once again in america, a moment of peace became a moment of profound pain. as the people who were trapped, terrified, try to come to terms with what happened, synagogues across the country have increased security in fear of copycat attacks. this was an act of terror. we're not going to tolerate this. we have this capacity to deal with assaults on, particularly the anti—semitism that has grown up. and so i'll be talking with... i put a call into the rabbi. we missed one another on the way up here. but they should rest assured that we are focused. as soon as it became known that akram was a british citizen who, according to the fbi, entered the united states just two weeks ago, the investigation became global. counter—terror police in manchester are assisting the us authorities and are now questioning two teenagers who were arrested in the city last night. sophie long, bbc news, dallas. our north of england correspondent danny savage is in blackburn for us. what's the mood there? reeta, i think those that knew the man involved in this are deeply upset by what happened. we know that his brother was here in this police station in blackburn over the weekend, trying to negotiate with his own brother to give himself up, and he was liaising with both the fbi in america and british officers here as well, to try to get the message across to his brother, and he was here for several hours while the siege was ongoing. ultimately, of course, his efforts were unsuccessful. he later confirmed his brother's death on a facebook group here in blackburn. we apologise to the victims, saying his brother had been suffering from mental health issues. that will make a part of the wide investigations as to what happens now. we know that fbi officers from the united states are due here in the uk today to carry on with their inquiries into what happened. was this a man with mental health issues, or was this a man who was being helped by others to go to america to carry out this incident? so that will all form part of this investigation. we know, of course, there have been two arrested in south manchester yesterday evening, of two teenagers, we don't know their ages, whether they are male or female either, so not much information coming out from that side of things. it kind of raises more questions than answers at the moment, but i think it is fair to say that the people who knew the man involved are deeply upset by what's happened, they tried to talk him out of it, they tried to communicate with him — they were unsuccessful, and now you have this far—reaching investigation as to how this man from blackburn got into the united states, was able to get weapons and carried out the hostage situation. reeta. , ., ~ , carried out the hostage situation. reeta. , . ~ , . our security correspondent frank gardner is here. the fbi are saying this is an

hisjob because "he's human and we make mistakes." that's despite widespread public anger over lockdown parties at downing street. six conservative mps have now called on the prime minister to resign over gatherings held during restrictions. nadhim zahawi also dismissed suggestions that populist policies were being pushed by the government to enable the prime minister to survive. our political correspondent helen catt is in westminster for us. so mps are returning to westminster today, and reports of a prime ministerial fightback. yeah, it almost feels a bit like westminster is drawing a breath this morning. there haven't been any major new revelations in the papers over the weekend, mps have had time to digest what they have been hearing from their constituents, so it feels like a bit of a sense of a pause this morning. what we have had in the last 2a hours are seven news of upcoming policy changes, things like the navy being brought in to tackle migrant crossings in small boats in the channel, things like freezing and possibly scrapping the bbc licence fee, and there are suggestions this is part of a coordinated strategy to throw out policies that would be popular with particular parts of the conservative party, reports that there is even a name for this, operation red meat, although downing street denies that. his official spokesman said that he did not categorise this is a distraction tactic, and that the government is still delivering on its policy priorities. but mps over the weekend have been hearing from their constituents about the mood there, about the events of last week. here is how education secretary nadhim zahawi secretary nadhim za hawi characterised secretary nadhim zahawi characterised what he was hearing. people in my postbag feel upset that the people who make the rules look like they haven't been following the rules. some say, you know, we want to make sure this investigation's thorough, they want to know it is going to be thorough, and i reassure my constituents that, you know, sue gray is a very senior civil servant, very well able to conduct this investigation and will do an absolutely thoroughjob. and she can follow the evidence wherever it takes her, and if she finds any form of lawbreaking and criminal activity, then that will be submitted to the metropolitan police. now, we are expecting that report to come either later this week or early next week. meanwhile, sir keir starmer has said this morning he has not apologising for a picture of him drinking beer in an office because he said he did nothing wrong, he told lbc it was a busy time, we were working in the office and stopped for a takeaway, he insisted they didn't break any rules.— for a takeaway, he insisted they didn't break any rules.

friends of a british woman living in tonga have said she is missing after she was caught in saturday's tsunami. angela glover was swept away while her husband james survived by clinging to a tree. waves higher than a metre crashed into the pacific island nation following the eruption of an underwer volcano. our corrrespondent howard johnson has this report. a military surveillance plane leaving auckland, new zealand, this morning, bound for tonga. australia has also sent planes to carry out an assessment of the damage caused by saturday's eruption of an underwater volcano. satellite images captured the moment a tsunami, triggered by the eruption, engulfed tonga and sent a shock wave across the pacific ocean. and listen to this — a sonic boom captured on video more than 400 miles away in fiji. sonic boom the international federation of the red cross estimate that more than 80,000 people have been affected by the eruption. the last communication that we received was straight after the eruption, and then it's a total cut—off. right now, we are trying our best through our satellite phones, but we haven't picked up any signals. briton angela glover was last seen by her husband clinging to a tree, before she was swept away by the tsunami. the family have put a number of posts on social media, appealing for information. she moved to tonga in 2015, leaving behind an advertising job to start an animal shelter, where she looks after and houses stray dogs, and is a popular figure on the island. the local authorities have been conducting searches, and i believe they're still ongoing, although... yeah, it's daytime here. look, it's 48 hours, i am not holding out much hope. communications to tonga remain badly affected. the not knowing of what happened to loved ones is creating an unbearable concern. howard johnson, bbc news, manila. the minimum isolation period for positive covid cases in england has been cut to five full days, as long as people produce a negative lateral flow test on days five and six. i6 and i7—year—olds in england can now also book a boosterjab or attend a walk—in clinic. our health correspondent nick triggle is here. just

isolation period is a further— nick. the cut in the isolation period is a further reduction | nick. the cut in the isolation i period is a further reduction in that, it was only last month that the government announced the isolation period would be reduced to seven days if you test negatively for two consecutive days without rapid test. from today, you will be able to leave isolation on day six instead of day seven, after five full days of isolation. now, at that point, around a third of people are still infectious, that is why the rapid test is so important, they can pick up most but not all of the cases, and modelling suggest around 7% of people who leave isolation will in fact be infectious, but ministers say, given that the virus is now causing milder illness, it is a proportionate response to that. meanwhile, as you say, reeta, i6 a proportionate response to that. meanwhile, as you say, reeta, 16 to 17—year—olds are being invited for i7—year—olds are being invited for their boosters, around 40,000 people are currently eligible for those boosters, because they can only be done three months after your second doubts, but eventually there will be 600,000 teens who will become eligible, and also clinically vulnerable i2 eligible, and also clinically vulnerable 12 to 15—year—olds are also being invited for their boosters. also being invited for their boosters— also

been eased, there will be at full capacity crowd inside. that is around 60,000 people, and also some changes with the vaccine passport will be in place here later today and more people than normal will have their vaccine status checked. that will now be around 50%. for the first time from today, fully vaccinated will include having had the booster. those details will be on the phone if that is how you are showing your vaccine status. but you can also show evidence of a negative lateral flow test, but you must have taken that test within the last 24 hours was that the government and the club is also advising anyone who comes here tonight to have taken a negative lateral flow test. the advice is also to wear masks and also to turn up early. the gates here will be open two hours before kick—off. here will be open two hours before kick-off. . , . kick-off. thanks very much, alexandra. _ our top story this lunchtime: as investigations continue into malik faisal akram from blackburn, who held four people captive in the texas synagogue siege, two teenagers from manchester are questioned. gracie's law — the campaign for more support for victims of stalking following the killing of gracie spinks. coming up on the bbc news channel, tennis world number one novak djokovic has arrived in his home country of serbia after being deported because of his vaccination status. the australia open has begun without its defending champion. the number of families in england struggling to pay their energy bills is set to treble in april, according to new analysis by the resolution foundation. that's when changes are due to the energy price cap, which sets the maximum that energy firms can charge customers on a standard tariff. the think—tank, which focuses on people on lower incomes, predicts that more than six million households could suffer — with gas and electricity bills set to soar. here's our social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan. i weigh six stone at the moment, so i'm cold all the time. and because i'm a wheelchair user and a lot of me doesn't move any more, my circulation is really very poor. anne vivian—smith has a neurodegenerative condition. she lives with her husband, a university manager, in a small, increasingly cold bungalow in nottinghamshire, and the rising cost of energy is harming her health. i have three thermal layers on almost all the time now. i was sat under four blankets last week. i no longer eat breakfast and lunch because it's too expensive. this morning, anne checked her energy bills and received an almighty shock. we found out today, our energy bill is usually £84 a month, and it's going up to £140. that's nearly doubled, and yet dave's salary is not going up, my benefits aren't going up, and i'm really distressed about it, and i've already had a little cry, and i'm likely to have another one! many more families will be similarly anguished by rapidly rising gas and electricity bills. the resolution foundation thinktank calculates that, by april, over six million households in england will struggle with their energy bills, with costs set to increase on average from £100 to £150 a month. £50 a month increase is beyond the means of millions of families, especially coming at the same time as changes to the tax system, where national insurance contributions will increase. so, you know, we'll see a lot of families really struggling come april. the government say it has put a range of measures in place to support households and will continue to listen to consumers and business on how to manage their energy costs. can i have £25 on that, please? james harpin has already seen his costs nearly double in a year — each top—up lasting less time. i've put my postcode in. usually, he'd just change providers, but this time, there's no point. james cares for his daughter for half the week, so heats his flat when she stays. otherwise, the 33—year—old lives frugally, even limiting his use of the washing machine. it's come to the point where, if i'm a bit short on electric and it's close to the time i'm going to be paying to top up again, i have to be clever enough to say, "don't do that washing, cos you'll run out of electricity." so let it build up, get paid, top up, and then work through the washing, which is, again, a situation i've neverfound myself in until this year. low—income families, says today's report, should be offered a bigger and broader support package by ministers. but the scale of the looming price rises creates understandable worry. i have no choice but to use my hoist to change chairs and to use my power chairto getaround. i have no choice but to use my electric bed. and all of this is going to have an impact on the costs that our energy company is going to throw us. michael buchanan, bbc news. the parents of a young woman who was fatally stabbed in derbyshire last year are campaigning to get a new law in her memory. it's thought gracie spinks was killed by a former work colleague, whom she had previously reported for stalking her. he was found dead near the murder scene. now a petition calling for more support for stalking victims has received 100,000 signatures, and will be debated in parliament. luxmy gopal has been speaking to gracie's parents. go on, gracie! woohoo! just full of life and energy, and just lived for her horses, didn't she? such a beautiful young girl, with her whole life ahead of her. she did light up the room wherever she went. gracie spinks was stabbed in the neck as she was looking after her horse lastjune. it's believed the killer was a former colleague, who was found dead shortly afterwards nearby. gracie had reported him to derbyshire police for stalking her. a bag of weapons had been found and reported to police near the spot where, just a week later, gracie was killed. the force is being investigated by the police watchdog over its handling of the case. christmas was particularly difficult, and her birthday on 19th october. notjust the family, but close friends and people beyond. it's been the worst christmas we've ever had. so painful. and just... just getting worse. the pain's getting worse, not better. a petition in gracie's name to improve support for victims of stalking has now passed 100,000 signatures. how does it feel that this is now going to be potentially discussed in parliament? one of my work colleagues actually sent me a screenshot of a football stadium and said, "just to put it into perspective, this is how many people, you know, loved gracie and have signed for gracie." and i thought, yeah, that puts it into perspective, really, when you see... ..see those numbers. yeah, amazing. the campaigner who set up the petition wants police forces to allocate specific funding for stalking cases. i'd like a separate pot - for stalking, for investigations, for the cps, for the courts, in order to prioritise - stalking cases. in response to the petition, the government said... it says it's also made a commitment to work with police to make sure they're making proper use of stalking protection orders. for gracie's parents, it's about making a lasting difference. to make girls, women and men feel safer when they're out. this will go on. this will be gracie's law, gracie's legacy. it's like a message from gracie saying, "it's time for change." one young woman's life cut short by violence. but now, in her memory, a mission to try to protect others from suffering the same fate. luxmy gopal, bbc news. train operators have cut hundreds more services from today because of covid—related avanti west coast, c2c, east midlands railway and south western railway have all introduced emergency timetables. several other operators have taken the same measure in recent weeks. it was estimated earlier this month that around 10% of rail staff were absent from work. amazon has reversed a decision to ban customers from using uk visa credit cards on its website — after it had been expected to introduce the changes from wednesday. an amazon spokesperson said they were "working closely with visa on a potential solution". the company said in november that it would ban visa's card because of the high transaction fees charged. the chairman of the global banking group credit suisse has resigned amid reports that he twice broke covid quarantine rules. antonio horta—osorio — who used to run lloyds banking group — is understood to have attended last year's wimbledon tennis finals when he should have been in isolation. our business editor simonjack is here. simon, what is he said to have done? there is a bit of an irony here that this was someone who was brought to credit suisse to bringing a bit of discipline after some multi—billion pound scandals at this bank. but he was found by an internal investigation to have broken covid restriction rules. he flew from switzerland to the uk and on that visit, as you say, he attended the wimbledon tennis finals. he thought he was in possession of a business exemption for high—profile leaders, which was available at that time. but it transpires that the paperwork he needed to do that had not been signed off, so he was in breach their and there was at least one other breach. so credit suisse has decided he should pay the price for those incursions by losing hisjob. any reaction from him? those incursions by losing his 'ob. any reaction from him?�* those incursions by losing his 'ob. any reaction from him? well, he was hoinu he any reaction from him? well, he was heping he might— any reaction from him? well, he was heping he might get— any reaction from him? well, he was hoping he might get away _ any reaction from him? well, he was hoping he might get away with - any reaction from him? well, he was hoping he might get away with a - hoping he might get away with a censure from the board, and people close to him say this is another example of someone not of the king family, an outsider, a portuguese national, going there and ruffling a few feathers to reform the culture there, and ending off second best. the irony is that he was brought in to try and keep credit suisse out of the headlines, and here we are again. however, credit suisse reject that he was a victim of a move against an outsider and say that by applying the letter of the law and say he broke the rules and has to 90, say he broke the rules and has to go, they are imposing exactly the kind of discipline that they hoped to instil in the bank.— tennis star novak djokovic has arrived in his home country of serbia after his deportation from australia. under australia's strict immigration laws, the men's number one can't be granted another visa for three years. but the country's prime minister has said he may be able to return sooner than anticipated. our balkans correspondent guy de launey is in belgrade for us. what reception did he get? it would have been a small reception, not a big civic do like we have often seen with novak djokovic in the past, with thousands of people turning up here to the centre of the city. instead, we had a few dozen supporters who turned up at the airport, hoping just to wave at the airport, hoping just to wave a banner of support to novak djokovic and chant in support of him to show that they still love him. but unfortunately for them, he shot through like a bondi tram, as they say in osterley. he didn't turn up in the regular arrivals section. he didn't go through the vip terminal, where the media and a lot of supporters were waiting. instead, he went out through the diplomatic channel, the diplomatic exit to belgrade nicolette has the airport, which i have never been to myself, but novak djokovic has a diplomatic passport for serbia, so he was entitled to use that way out and it does reinforce his status in serbia. this isn't someone who is any old sporting champion, this is someone who, as prime minister ana brnabic put it to me, is their greatest ambassador around the world. and thatis ambassador around the world. and that is where he gets the special treatment here. and that is why people in serbia have been so outraged that he has been treated the way he was in australia over the past ten days. the way he was in australia over the past ten days— past ten days. guy, thank you. guy de launey- — back in melbourne, after days of drama, the australian open has begun. former champion rafa nadal is safely through to the second round, but it wasn't such a happy story for britain's cameron norrie — asjoe wilson reports. time to focus on who's actually playing in melbourne, albeit in the case of cameron norrie, all too briefly. the top—ranked british man is at the top of the picture, trying to compete with a rising star. sebastian korda was playing, having tested positive for covid on his arrival in australia. simply brilliant from the young american. he'd kept to a quarantine hotel. he even posted a video of himself practising there, or trying to. 0h! well, norrie described his own performance in this match as "so disappointing". 6—3 the first set, 6—0 the second, and he'd been outstanding last year. ranked 12 in the world, remember. norrie had covid last month, but said he was fine physically. in the third set, even when he made opportunities, he couldn't take them. that sums up his day. 6—4 soon followed. korda's 21 with extensive potential, a tough opponent in the first round. too good today for cam norrie, the number 12 seed. his celebration mimics his father's, who won the australian open in the �*90s. so cameron norrie gone already. murray and raducanu, most notably, will hope for more tomorrow. joe wilson, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's louise lear. beautiful, bright skies outside
