on the investigations in texas and in blackburn. also today... nadine dorries, the culture secretary, freezes the bbc�*s licence fee for two years. she claims it's to help household budgets and not a political attack on the corporation. we simply could not justify putting extra pressure on the wallets - of ha rd—working households. following the volcanic eruption on the pacific islands of tonga, the anxious wait for news of the extent of the destruction. and, one of the great wartime mysteries — who betrayed the family of anne frank to the nazis? a new investigation offers an answer. i'm coming up on the bbc news channel, the australian open is under way in melbourne but the men's british number one, cameron norrie, is dumped out in the first round. good evening. two teenagers have been arrested today in manchester as part of inquiries into a hostage—taking incident at a synagogue in texas on saturday. the attacker was a british man, named as malik faisal akram from blackburn, who was shot dead by police at the scene after a 10—hour standoff. he'd taken four people hostage, including a rabbi. they all survived unharmed. greater manchester police said the teenagers detained today, whose identities have not been released, are both being questioned they were said by american police to be part of the investigation. what made malik faisal akram leave blackburn questioning the place he called home. to travel to texas, arm himself with a gun and lay siege to a synagogue. there was a ten hour stand—off as an fbi swat team moved in print at the 44—year—old spoke to his family back home. his words were recorded as he became increasingly desperate. these pictures show several hostages running for their lives. within minutes, malik faisal akram was shot dead. the rabbi

investigation which is being led by the fbi and that puts some constraint on uk authorities and what they can save because they don't want to go ahead of anything the fbi wants to announce for fear of prejudicing the investigation. one of the strands in the most important is focusing on where this man came from, who he associated with what was his digital trail, who he was in touch with them was anybody helping him? one of the mysteries of this is how, with a criminal record, he was able to fly into the us with little money, get all the way from jfk in new york to texas, choosing a synagogue, targeting a synagogue where eligibility ranted at some length against israel and jews, and that place was 20 miles away from the prison where this lady, aafia siddiqui, is held. she has distanced herself from the actions but that is another strand of investigation where the fbi will almost certainly want to talk to authorities in pakistan because that is where she was originally from and where she's quite a cause celebre. there is still quite a lot of unanswered questions here and we're going to have to wait, frustratingly, for the fbi to make their announcements as to what they have

that the bbc licence fee could be abolished in 2027 and that the corporation's funding will be frozen for the next two years. media experts predict that the bbc will face the prospect of having to close services and make significant redundancies on top of those already seen in recent years. labour has accused the government of trying to regain popularity by punishing those who've been reporting the scandal of lockdown parties in downing street. our culture editor katie razzall has more details. the bbc is 100 this year and so much has changed across radio, tv and more recently online. in a digital age, the corporation is under increasing pressure. today came at the opposite of a birthday present, the opposite of a birthday present, the £159 licence fee that buttons nearly three quarters of the bbc budget will be frozen for two years. the bbc wanted the feed to rise to over £180 by the end of this settlement. instead, it will remain fixed at £159 until april 202a. that is more money

great. the bbc board met last night in response to her unexpected announcement on twitter. katie, many thanks for the latest on the debate on funding for the bbc. this evening at number 10 is continuing to face questions about gatherings in the building during lockdown and indeed in the past hour, the prime minister's former chief adviser and now one of the leading critics, dominic cummings, isaid the leading critics, dominic cummings, i said that he didn't want borisjohnson that a plant event in may 2020 should not go ahead. we can talk to our political editor at laura kuenssberg —— a planned event. this is quite the saga but viewers will remember that among a string of claims made about what was going on in downing street behind a black door during lockdown is one central allegation about a gathering for staff inviting as many as 100 people in may 2020. the prime minister admitted to the house of commons and apologised for that event taking place, saying he was there around 25 minutes or so and it had been arranged by one of his most senior and, in theory, trusted civil servants, martin reynolds, his private secretary. what he also said is that he had not realised it was a drinks event, he thought it was a work event. in the last hour, dominic cummings, who at the time was one of his most senior advisers and who is now borisjohnson's nemesis really, had said on the record in one of his blog posts that he discussed this with the prime minister and warned him this event should not go ahead. and another former official in downing street has told me they remember there being a row about this, that mr cummings said he was going to raise it with the prime minister. but downing street have explicitly denied this claim in the last 2a hours and repeatedly said the prime minister did not know, that he thought it was a work event, essentially that he was there and he has admitted to being there and said sorry for being there but he wasn't really aware of exactly what was going on. but for his critics, mr cummings' claim gives more fire to the fuel that has been earning very rapidly, that somehow mrjohnson has not been completely straight about what was happening and it will certainly disappoint those backers are borisjohnson who were hoping that this row might all have been starting to simmer down.- that this row might all have been starting to simmer down. laura, many thanks for the — starting to simmer down. laura, many thanks for the latest, _ starting to simmer down. laura, many thanks for the latest, laura _ thanks

let's get that latest officialfigures in the uk on kuenssberg. let's get that latest official figures in the uk on the pandemic. there were almost 84,500 new infections in the latest 24—hour period. so there were just over 100,000 new cases on average per day in the last week. more than 19,000 people are in hospital with covid. another 85 deaths were reported — that's of people who died within 28 days of a positive test. on average in the past week, there were 264 deaths per day. on vaccinations, over 36.4 million people have had a boosterjab — that's 63.4% of those aged 12 and over. much more work is needed to protect all parts of the uk from the impact of climate change. a new assessment of the risks concludes that even current levels of global warming will cost the country billions of pounds every year within a few decades. the report warns that while the world aims to limit warming to 1.5 degrees, the evidence shows that rises of up to 4 degrees by the end of the century certainly can't be ruled out. our climate editorjustin rowlatt spells out the implications. remember storm arwen? monster storm that ripped down trees and pylons across much the north of the uk in november.

global temperatures rise by two celsius but we should also be prepared for this, says this latest assessment of the risks of climate change. it is unlikely but if global temperatures were to rise by 4 degrees, maximum summer temperatures in the south could be as much as 7 degrees hotter, with the north up to 6 degrees hotter. the risks cut right across society, say ministers. infrastructure, roads, sewage systems, powerstations infrastructure, roads, sewage systems, power stations will struggle as storms, droughts, floods and heat waves become more frequent and heat waves become more frequent and more intense. our health and productivity will suffer. farms will struggle to produce as much food and at the same time the supply of goods from abroad is likely to be disrupted. to meet these challenges, the government needs to take action right away, say its independent advisers on climate change. irate advisers on climate change. we really have _ advisers on climate change. - really have

arrested in greater manchester. and a warning from anti—poverty campaigners that the number of families in england struggling to pay their energy bills could treble in april. coming up on bbc news, s hrgota martin is on the way back to manage everton with back a day after sacking of benitez, the club have made contact to gauge interest in a return. there's an anxious wait for news from the pacific islands of tonga, where a volcano eruption has triggered a tsunami and covered the region in volcanic ash. the authorities have not officially asked for aid or confirmed any deaths, but the communications network is virtually destroyed and there's been little contact with people there. the eruption happened underwater on saturday, north of the main island of tongatapu, where the majority of the population lives. the family of one british woman say she died after being swept away by the waves. our correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes has the latest. these pictures of the hunga tonga—hunga ha'apai volcano erupting are from last friday. this is just a foretaste of what was to come a day later — an eruption many, many times larger. this is the volcano poking above the ocean's surface last week. and today, it's completely gone. it has now been confirmed the huge eruption severed the main cable linking tonga to the outside world. this morning, new zealand dispatched aircraft to try and find out what is going on. some of those islands are reporting that they haven't had loss of life but i would reiterate that it is second—hand and it's early days. this evening we learned this british woman, angela glover, was killed by the tsunami that hit the island on saturday. she had moved to tonga in 2015 to open an animal shelter. she died trying to rescue her dogs. the strange thing was, the uglier the dog, the more she loved it. her initial call to go to tonga was to swim with whales, which she did, and yeah, beautiful girl, she is irreplaceable. offers from new zealand and australia to help tonga are being complicated by the covid pandemic. the island nation is currently covid—free and it wants to stay that way. they have had disasters during the pandemic previously, from cyclones and hurricanes, and what they did then was just air drop supplies in and there was no physical contact or interaction between, say, troops and the local forces. a century ago, nearly one in ten tongans died in the 1918 flu pandemic. any reluctance now to ask for help would not be without reason. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, tokyo. the number of families in england struggling to pay their energy bills will treble in april, according to the resolution foundation, a research organisation which suggests ways of improving living standards for those on lower incomes. gas and electricity bills are on course to rise sharply, and the foundation predicts more than six million households will be spending at least 10% of the family budget on energy bills. the hardest—hit families will be in the north east of england and the west midlands, from where our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports. oh, beautifulfire. it is so cold out there. without this heat, thelma spalding's life would be unbearable. the fire is a life—saver. she suffers from sciatica and is in chronic pain after she says she was attacked by a patient on the nhs ward where she worked until last year. being cold exacerbates the pain and this is the only room she can afford to heat. even right now i've got on two leggings, a pair of trousers, a vest, a t—shirt and a dress. and i'm in the house. just not to feel the pain because when i come out of this room, it's cold in the kitchen, it's cold in the bathroom. thelma says her gas and electric bills have increased from £44 to £99 a month. now dependent on benefits, she is petrified of using her central heating. how can i afford £99 a month for one bill? they have told me to switch off everything in the night, everything on standby, plug out everything and i'm saying, how can i do that? i can't bend down. if i go on the floor, i've got to crawl on my knees, i can't get up so how do they expect me to be turning everything off? around one in five families in the west midlands struggle to pay their energy bills, the highest level of fuel poverty in england. recent price rises coupled with the removal of the £20 top up to universal credit have led to sharp increases in household seeking help to pay their bills. we are finding that people are getting more and more in debt, basically, because they can't afford their bills and the standard phrase, they are choosing between whether to pay for food or whether to pay for their bills, and that is becoming more and more of an issue for people. i've put my postcode in... the usual advice to people struggling to pay is to shop around. james has seen his energy bills almost double in a year but can't find a cheaper deal. they all came through with saving £0 per year and it turns out - i am actually on quite a good deal! by quite a margin! james cares for his daughter for half the week so heats his flat when she stays. otherwise, the 33—year—old, who has a range of psychiatric conditions including ptsd, uses what he describes as old—fashioned methods to keep warm. i'm being very frugal — i the water heater won't be on unless it's absolutely necessary, don't have a bath, have a shower. i i won't put the heating on if i'm on my own, l i'lljust use extra - layers, blankets etc. the government says 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. but there is only so much government can do and behind many doors live many stressed families. it's not right. you work all your life thinking that if anything would happen, you will get some help. and you don't. everything isjust going higher and higher and higher and you get so depressed, you don't know what to do. and you need some help. michael buchanan, bbc news, sandwell in the west midlands. in northern ireland, a vigil has been held at the parliament buildings in stormont, in memory of the murdered teacher ashling murphy. the 23—year—old was killed on the banks of the grand canal outside tullamore, county offaly, last wednesday. thousands have attended vigils in difrerent parts of the world in recent days. the nature of her killing — late afternoon in a quiet rural area — has renewed calls for more to be done to tackle violence towards women. police have said they have identified a new person of interest in their investigation. that identified a new person of interest in their investigation.— in their investigation. that person is currently _ in their investigation. that person is currently in _ in their investigation. that person is currently in hospital. _ our correspondent emma vardy has the latest. the sense of grief and shock over the murder of ashling murphy has travelled from this town in rural ireland across the world. a talented musician, playing here with her sister, ashling was also an irish speaker, and her career as a local primary school teacher in her hometown of tullamore had onlyjust begun. she was the girl next door, she loved clothes, she loved socialising with her friends. we are struggling as a community, we are struggling to grasp it ourselves. this was the canal path where ashling murphy went jogging after school. the irish police say she was strangled and that she fought with the killer, who may have been injured when he fled the scene. they are waiting to question a man who is recovering in hospital with injuries that have raised suspicion. people have found this difficult to comprehend. what officers say was a random attack along this popular route in broad daylight, and what happened here to ashling murphy has sparked a reaction much further afield. in towns and cities across ireland, in london and as far as australia, tens of thousands of people have gathered in ashling murphy's memory. but more than that — to unite in calls for a change in society so women and girls can feel safe. if we are to break the cycle of male violence against women, we need to develop an enforceable, zero—tolerance approach towards misogyny and sexism. that is to end all violence against all women in all of its forms. at stormont in northern ireland today, the deputy first minister, michelle o'neill, called for a cultural shift. ireland is still in disbelief but there is also a sense of defiance and hope that ashling murphy's death can also bring about change. emma vardy, bbc news, tullamore. the tennis player novak djokovic has arrived home in serbia, after being deported from australia. djovokic, who's unvaccinated, can't be granted another visa for three years, althought the australian prime minister hinted that could change. his next chance to win a record 21st grand slam title is at the french open in may, but the french government says no exemptions will be given to the current rules, which ban unvaccinated player from competing. it's a question that has plagued historians ever since the end of the second world war. who was it who betrayed the family of anne frank to the nazis? anne died in a concentration camp in 1945, at the age of 15, after two years in hiding. her diary, published after her death, is probably the most famous first—hand account ofjewish life during the war. using new investigative techniques, detectives have revealed the identity of the man thought to have betrayed the frank family, as anna holligan reports from amsterdam. the final entry in anne frank's diary. three days later, thejewish teenager was arrested. this was the frank family's hiding place during the nazi occupation of the netherlands. and this question of who betrayed the frank family, who had lived in this building undetected for more than two years, untiljust months before the end of the war, has remained one of the great mysteries of dutch history. and now this team of investigators have identified a man they believe is the key suspect, ajewish lawyer who had been based here in amsterdam helping jewish refugees fleeing nazi germany. no dna clues or video images existed, so the detectives relied on circumstantial evidence, and a note. the final suspect became the person who was named in an anonymous note sent to otto frank shortly after he got back from the camp, auschwitz, in which a man called van den bergh was identified as the betrayer. otto frank was anne's father and the only member of the family to survive the war. the suggestion that the betrayer appears to be someone from within thejewish community is hard for many to bear. the historic context is critical here. as it turns out, it is a story of a man who was cornered, and in order to save himself, his wife, his children, from the gas chambers... while there is still a degree of
