are possible. president biden has travelled to the presidential retreat at camp david, where he will be joined by secretary blinken and his national security team to discuss tensions with russia over ukraine. the us wants russia to pull its forces back from the ukrainian border, which western countries fear are preparing to invade. the us has promised to provide a written response to russia's security demands, which include a ban on ukrainejoining nato. our diplomatic correspondent james landale has more. more russian forces on the move. surface—to—air missiles in the country's far east due to join what moscow says are military exercises near ukraine — part of the growing build—up of troops and equipment revealed by images of strategic locations close to the border and what western powers fear may be preparation for war. but for now, the diplomacy continues, too. america's and russia's top diplomats met in geneva and at first couldn't even agree how to greet one another, with one question on everyone�*s lips. is an invasion likely, as president biden suggested? mr lavrov seemed to suggest it was up to the united states and later dismissed talk of invasion as "hysterical rhetoric designed to provoke ukraine". what does russia want most — an unstable, dependent ukraine or a new sphere of influence in eastern europe? translation: we are not trying to get a sphere of influence, - but what nato is doing shows it considers ukraine to be a part of its sphere of influence. to the west, ukraine is an independent, sovereign nation. that means it has a right to self—determination, free from russian control. and if it wants to join nato or any other international alliance, well, that is for it to decide. russia's view is different. it sees the former soviet country as historically within its sphere of influence and also strategically important. crimea was annexed in part to protect russia's access to the black sea. and as for nato membership, that would be seen as a threat to russia's core security. that's why president putin wants nato to rule out ukraine ever becoming a member and withdraw its forces from eastern europe. america's secretary of state rejected these as non—starters and once again sought to deter any military action. we've been clear. if any russian military forces move across ukraine's border, that's a renewed invasion. it will be met with swift, severe and a united response from the united states and our partners and allies. there was no breakthrough at the talks here today, no deal to reduce the threat of war, but there was agreement for diplomacy to continue. the us will put forward ideas for more security co—operation next week. both sides will meet again after that. these are turbulent times. but for now, russia appears willing to continue talking, and western diplomats hope that might mean not fighting. james landale, bbc news, geneva. in yemen, aid agencies say at least 70 people have been killed after an air strike by the saudi—led coalition hit a detention centre in the north of the country. it's been almost seven years since the saudi coalition — backed by the us, and the uk — intervened in yemen's civil war —— backed by the us and the uk — intervened in yemen's civil war, but houthi rebels, backed by iran, still control most of the country. all sides have been accused of abuses, including the killing of civilians. our international correspondent orla guerin reports — and a warning, some viewers may find her report upsetting. another dawn in yemen. more destruction revealed in the cold light of day. prisoners were held here by houthi rebels, including african migrants just trying to transit through yemen. some were among the dead. in sa'dah province, the houthi heartland, they dug for survivors with their bare hands. but this was a massive air strike. the death toll is still climbing. the saudi—led coalition, which is backed by britain, says it will investigate fully. after a night of devastating strikes, the un secretary—general criticised both the houthis, who carried out an attack on monday, and the coalition. any bombardment that targets civilians, or that is not careful enough to protect civilians, is of course also unacceptable. what we need is to stop this vicious circle in which things keep escalating one after the other. but on the ground, war has the momentum. this was the port city of hudaydah. the houthis say the coalition hit a telecommunications centre, knocking out the internet across yemen. incredibly, this man was brought out alive. at the hospital, a desperate attempt to revive a child. wails. and a heart—rending loss. aid agencies say three children were killed playing football as the air strikes rained down. the houthis sparked the latest escalation with this deadly cross—border attack on the united arab emirates — a partner in the coalition. in the yemeni capital sanaa today, they staged a show of strength. here's the reality that confronts the coalition. after seven years of air strikes, it has failed to dislodge the houthis from these streets. but now, once again, it is bringing nights of terror and death to yemeni civilians. orla guerin, bbc news. let's get some of the day's other news. british counter—terrorism officers have been given more time to question two men arrested in birmingham and manchester in connection with last week's siege at a synagogue in texas. a british man, malik faisal akram, took several hostages during the 10—hour stand—off, which ended when he was shot dead by police. a court in new york has sentenced a former associate of donald trump's ex—lawyer rudy giuliani to a year in prison for violating campaign finance law. igor fruman is also alleged to have helped mr giuliani to search for damaging information onjoe biden before he was elected president. stock markets in the us have suffered their worst week in nearly two years with technology stocks especially hard hit. friday was the fourth successive day of significant falls. analysts say investors are worried that the federal reserve is likely to raise us interest rates. more now on our main story. joining me live

he would really the nato countries to accept that russia has a right to a sphere of influence in the post—soviet space and apparently also in what used to be eastern and central europe. in the old days of the warsaw pact. so those are white —— rather wide—ranging demands so he wants to move beyond the system that we now have in europe. but it's a difficult _ that we now have in europe. but it's a difficult spot for the united states to be in, deciding how much to move forward or negotiate with russia, while also maintaining of course their ties with ukraine. of course their ties with

are a number of areas where we could negotiate with the russians if they were willing to take that instead of blanket demand essentially for nato to retreat to where it was in 1997. ., ~ ., in 1997.

scotland and wales, according to official figures, but the government is still facing the challenge of how to persuade more than four million people in the uk to take up the offer of a vaccine. bbc analysis shows that younger people continue to be the most reluctant to be fully vaccinated, with almost a third of 18— to 29—year—olds not having had the first two jabs. our health editor hugh pym reports. a vaccination campaign with a difference. and you could end up with long covid, which is no fun. team halo videos have had more than 250 million views. please don't play this russian roulette with your life. they're focused on debunking vaccine misinformation. let's talk about long covid. dr bnar talabani is one expert working on the project from her home in cardiff. she aims to reassure people that the vaccine is safe. evelyn, whose identity we're protecting, is in her 30s and lives in southern scotland. she has a family history of rheumatoid arthritis and although she wants the jab, she is worried. we always talk about medicines and i try to work out what hopefully won't trigger off an autoimmune response in myself. and that's what makes me nervous about the covid—i9 jab. there's no evidence to say that you will get rheumatoid —— there's no evidence to say that you will get rheumatoid arthritis or any autoimmune disease if you have the vaccine. i think a lot of the times, people don't have access to accurate information, and knowing how to tell the difference between what's nonsense and what's information —— what's misinformation and what's accurate is very difficult. elite sports players have been under the spotlight over their vaccination status. at worcester warriors rugby club, they're well ahead of an 85% target set for leading english clubs. guidance was offered to those players who had early doubts. i think with anything, there's always reluctance until you give them the facts. and that's what we do with anything, whether it's rugby—related or medical—related. rugby—related or medical—related, and i think that's all we did. players are always curious. among the over—60s, more than 90% have had their first two doses. but as you go down the age groups, that falls away quite noticeably. and that's why younger people are seen as a key target group for the continued vaccination programme. it was really confusing. some wanting to start a family have questions. these new mums at the bundle baby class said it wasn't a straightforward decision, but they did get vaccinated while they were pregnant. lots of friends were saying that i shouldn't have the vaccine because i was pregnant and that it might harm the baby. a lot of the research and the data that was out there, even when you're speaking to a gp, it didn't seem like there was a lot of robust information. when i turned 13 weeks, so got into the second trimester, i immediately went to get the vaccine — and i'd been waiting to get the vaccine, actually. i was actually having arguments with my husband about it because, you know, he was keen for me not to and to wait, because he was worried about the impact on the baby. he wasn't sure and, you know, i was upset with him because i'd been doing a lot of research. some countries are making vaccination compulsory. for now, the approach in the uk is dialogue, but there's clearly more work to be done to convince those who still don't want the jab. hugh pym, bbc news. the british member of parliament who alleged this week that fellow rebel mps have been subject to blackmail is to meet with the metropolitan police to discuss the matter. the telegraph newspaper has reported that william wragg has sought the meeting with police. here's our political correspondent, ben wright. the world of the whips in westminster is a very secretive one, they are the people that enforce party discipline. but yesterday the senior tory mp william wragg alleged that conservative whips had threatened to withhold public money, investments from the constituencies of some mps who were threatening to try and bring down borisjohnson. he is one of seven tory mps who had called the prime minister to quit, and said that this could amount to blackmail. i have spoken to william wragg and he confirms that after seeking a meeting with the met he will meeting with the met he will meet offices at the beginning of next week to discuss his concerns. it doesn't mean the police are going to investigate, and i think it's certainly ups the nt around this story. so far he has not produced any evidence to back up produced any evidence to back up his claims and today the business secretary said even though these were very serious allegations they were unsubstantiated stops of course this comes as the conservative party whips, as number ten try and shore up the prime minister's position ahead of the expected report by sue grey into downing street party, that we all expect to be published next week. this is bbc news, the headlines: the us and russian foreign ministers have held talks in geneva to try to ease tension over the build—up of russian troops on the border with ukraine. aid agencies say an air strike by the saudi—led coalition on a prison in yemen has killed dozens of people and wounded many more. anti—abortion activists gathered in washington earlier today for the annual "march for life". this year they are optimistic that the supreme court will overturn the roe v wade decision that legalised abortion nationwide in the 70s. every single year the march for life is important and each year build upon the

there are now six conservatives on the court, although that is obviously true. they are different kinds of conservative judges in the united states. historically, even though the supreme court is supposed to be insulated from political pressure, it really hasn't acted that way. the court has really strayed to part from popular opinion, but this court does not seem to be concerned about the

years for secretly filming models during fake photoshoots. neil corbel pleaded guilty to 19 counts of voyeurism, committed in hotel rooms and rented accommodation across the uk. he used cameras in tissue boxes, phone—chargers and in glasses to film women, as anna adams reports. they thought they'd been booked for a modelling assignment but instead, dozens of women were secretly filmed by an off—duty police officer while they were undressing. he called himself harrison and said he was a pilot — but in fact, he was detective inspector neil corbel from the met. he covertly recorded 31 women between 2017—2020, and stored the images on his police laptop. corbel, who has now resigned from the met, admitted to 19 counts of voyeurism. he was sentenced to three years in jail. the judge said his actions had "seriously undermined public trust in the police". he was tracked down by fellow officers after an 18—month investigation. there is still disbelief when i hear of officers doing things such as this, because it's a betrayal. it damages trust and it damages confidence. it really hurts, because i know how hard i work and i know how hard my officers work, the met works. one of the women — who we're calling jessica — was booked by corbel after he found her photos on the modelling website purpleport. he seemed professional at first. he introduced himself and said how he did photography as a hobby, and how he'd seen my portfolio. there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary about it. but this was no normal photo shoot. corbel had used spy cameras hidden in an alarm clock and a phone charger to secretly record her when she was naked. jessica was eventually called into a police station and told she was one of corbel�*s victims. they showed me a video that he'd recorded of me undressing, and asked me to identify myself. ijust said "yeah, that's me", and asked them to turn it off. i didn't want to watch it with an officer sat opposite me. it raises further questions for the metjust months after another officer, wayne couzens, was given a whole life sentence for the kidnap, rape and murder of sarah everard. jessica says both cases have changed the way she now views police officers. it makes you not trust the police. people call the police when they're in vulnerable positions and they want someone they can trust. i just think it's shocking. anna adams, bbc news. tributes have been pouring in for the us rock star meat loaf, who has died at the age of 7a. in a career spanning six decades, he was known for his operatic voice and theatrical stage presence. 0ur arts correspondent david sillito takes a look back at his music and life. # like a bat out of hell, # i'll be gone when the morning comes...# meat loaf, bat out of hell — a sweat—drenched rock—and—roll epic that turned the man born marvin lee aday into one of the biggest—selling rock stars in the world. there have been many tributes. among them, cher, who sang with him on dead ringer, for love, bonnie tyler, and from i'd do anything for love, lorraine crosby. # i would do anything for love. # i'd never lie to you, and that's a fact. we just gelled. we gelled perfectly. and obviously, that's why the song went the way it did. so, every time i think of meat loaf, i think about being in the studio with him. # no no, no way... you just knew. you knew it was going to be great, you know. i'm sorry, i'm getting... you knew, you just knew instinctively that the album was going to be huge. # i would do anything for love, # but i won't do that. born in dallas, his mother was a teacher and singer, his father a policeman, and his childhood was tough. he was an alcoholic, and he'd always beat me up as a kid. threw me through a plate—glass window, threw me through a door. his escape was acting and musicals. he got a part in hair, and then the rocky horror picture show. bat out of hell was a project he'd been working on for years with the writerjim steinman. the rock establishment was scornful, but the fans — especially in britain — loved it. # praying for the end of time. # it's all that i can do... this famous performance on the old grey whistle test was where it all took off. but its huge success and the pressures it brought almost killed him. that was then followed by lawsuits and bankruptcy. he claimed that years went by without him making a dime out of it, but nothing would ever top bat out of hell, a glorious, over—the—top, emotional battering ram, a rock—and—roll masterpiece. #..hell... meat loaf, who's died at the age of 7a. what an amazing, amazing performer. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @bbcnuala. would love to hear from you, but for now let's get the weather. hello. it looks like the weather is taking part in dryjanuary — no significant rain on the way this weekend, nor indeed into the start of next week. there isn't going to be a huge amount of this either. blue sky and sunshine this weekend. cloud is going to win out

across eastern parts of scotland and england, whereas towards north—west scotland, we are going to see some outbreaks of rain, and it is breezier here, but it is also milder — 11 degrees in stornoway. temperatures elsewhere a little higher than they were on friday. 0vernight and into sunday, quite a bit of cloud around, a few breaks in that cloud here and there, where they occur, the chance of seeing a touch of frost. there will be some mist and fog patches developing towards southern areas, where the winds are light, and they could well be slow to clear in a few spots on sunday. there is a weather front edging closer towards north—west scotland as the day goes on. it doesn't look as if we will see much in the rain until sunday night. ahead of it, still some patchy rain. the winds going to pick up here. gales developing in the western isles. light winds elsewhere. a lot of cloud around, just a few sunny spells. if anything on sunday, temperatures just come down a little bit. the high—pressure still with us by the start of next week. by mid week, we are going to see a developing weather system heading our way. here it is, and mainly through wednesday night, we will see an area of rain moving its way southwards, weakening as it does so. and behind that, high pressure building back in again but for a time later in the week, there will be some brighter skies around. that's your weather. this is bbc news. the headlines: the us and russia have held what they called "frank talks" on tension over ukraine. with more russian troops gathering on the ukrainian border,
