a very warm welcome to the programme. we begin with spotify as the streaming giant has revealed plans to tackle covid misinformation on its podcasts. the move comes after joni mitchell and neil young removed their music from spotify in protest at its collaboration with the american presenter, joe rogan. mark lobel has the latest. following a chorus of disapprovalfrom a number of musical stars, spotify has sought to clarify its stance on covid misinformation on its platform. the online streaming giant is now publishing its platform rules for the first time. users will get a content advisory when podcast episodes contain covid—19 discussions and listeners will be directed to an updated covid—19 hub, a guide to credible information about the pandemic to combat misinformation. the row erupted after a podcast hosted byjoe rogan, one of spotify�*s star signings. he had dr robert malone, who was strongly anti—vax, and especially anti—vax for children. now, i think i lot of people are maybe on the fence about vaccinating their kids. i think a lot more people are thinking maybe they won't do that over adults getting the vaccine. so when this came out a few hundred health experts, scientists, wrote to spotify saying this is very dangerous, we want this to be removed, this is just not right. following that, spotify�*s other star podcasters, harry and meghan, issued a statement from their foundation, archewell. so, can spotify now win over their sceptics? just this slight adjustment of several words is what is allowing joe rogan do not have his podcast touched or taken down or isolated episodes stop the devil is of the details as it pertains tojoe rogan and people still aren't happy with the actions that spotify has taken. this episode underlines the challenge of policing these platforms as even podcast now become potential minefields of misinformation. mark lobel, bbc news. let us discuss this further. i am nowjoined by shirley halperin, executive editor of music at variety. she's in los angeles. welcome to the programme. so, what do you think of spotify�*s latest move? is it enough to counter the criticism it is receiving right now? well, it was done. — receiving right now? well, it was done, which _ receiving right now? well, it was done, which i _ receiving right now? well, it was done, which i think- receiving right now? well, it was done, which i think was| was done, which i think was important, it was inevitable that daniel ek and the company would need to make a statement on the fact that it took them a couple of days they have been a couple of days they have been a couple of days too long, but in terms of what it does, amen, it really is a band—aid on the situation. the wording, the verbiage that is used in the content advisory is you know, perhaps not as strong as it could be. also daniel ek�*s statement, he never named joe rogan specifically. it sort of stopped short of that. so i think the reaction has been mixed, with a lot of people in the industry saying that, you know, it was just a statement to save face and doesn't have that much substantial action behind it. so we will have to see. , �* ., ., , ., see. yes, we'll have

influential people such as harry and meghan decide to make a move away from spotify. yes. a move away from spotify. yes, es. a move away from spotify. yes, yes. and. _ a move away from spotify. yes, lies and. you — a move away from spotify. yes, yes. and, you know, _ a move away from spotify. yes, yes. and, you know, they - a move away from spotify. yes, yes. and, you know, they are i yes. and, you know, they are obviously two of the biggest stars on the platform. byjoe rogan is undeniably the bigger star. he is the number one podcast, and it wasn't a single episode that contained misinformation, it is almost a constant of his show. so i think it becomes tricky even to say they will pull down particular episodes, because it may be a significant number of episodes. but, you know, i think really a lot of this is a collective frustration over the covid pandemic. we're coming up in two year anniversary and people just want to get on with our lives and, in a way, i think we alljust sort of salute neil young and joni mitchell, the original protest artists for, you know, speaking what a lot of people feel is right, which is let'sjust get vaccinated and continue with our lives. in vaccinated and continue with our lives-— vaccinated and continue with our lives. ., , ., our lives. in the meantime, you know, our lives. in the meantime, you know. we _ our lives. in the

that this is about money at the end of the day. joe rogan is a big financial investment for spotify. you have apple music pointing out you can find neil young music right here if you wish to. it is interesting how this will pan out in terms of the business side of things. that's the thing. spotify is very much in thejoe rogan business. they spent $100 million to lockdown exclusive rights to his podcast. whether spotify is a music company or the world's biggest record store, if you will, it really feels like that is more of a loss leader for their business. but where the artists show their strength is in speaking up their strength is in speaking up and causing the stock price to dive, which is actually an impact on their bottom line. so was all very interesting, the economics of this.—

thank you so much. good to talk to you. there is so much more detail on the spotify story on our website as well. do take a look if you wish to dig a little deeper. let us look in more detail at other stories. the united states has made a direct appeal to north korea to join talks about its nuclear and missile programs. it comes after pyongyang confirmed that it tested a hwasong—12 nuclear capable intermediate range ballistic missile on sunday. these pictures, released by the state news agency, show parts of the korean peninsula and surrounding areas, seen from space, as the rocket reached an altitude of 2,000km. north korea analyst ankit panda explained the significance of the launch. this is the longest range north korean missile launch since november 2017 and since then we have had a lot happened. diplomacy has thrived and collapsed under president trump, a number of north korean short—range missile launches. what is most interesting about this launch is the way it was presented inside north korea. kimjong—un, the national leader, was not present to guide this launch. he was present every time it was tested in 2017. in their internal party newspaper, the launch was not even front—page news. so i worry that north koreans are entering a dangerous new phase where they regularise this kind of missile testing, but it is carried out as it is in so many countries including here in the united states. when the united states tests missiles, our national leader does not monitor the tests. i think the north koreans are trying to effectively normalise this activity and i think that is concerning because each and every test like this does help them to refine their capabilities and increase threat to the region. for the united states i think there is certainly, i don't think the administration here is being too glib about what this represents. i think the notion of inviting the north koreans to talks, while noble, is insufficient. kim jong—un last october gave a speech in which implied he implied he would focus much more on american behaviours than american words and while they invite north korea to talks without preconditions, kim jong—un wants to see action and the action he did see earlier this month after north korea launched a re—entry vehicle, the us introduced new sanctions and the north koreans basically deemed that to be a hostile action and that over road all the words that came out of the biden administration. the manchester united footballer, mason greenwood, is being questioned on suspicion of rape and assault. it follows allegations made on social media. the premier league club says the 20—year—old won't be training or playing any matches, untilfurther notice. he hasn't responded to any of the claims. 0ur sports correspondent jane dougall has more from manchester united's stadium, old trafford. tonight, it's understood that mason greenwood remains in custody whilst inquiries continue. greater manchester police have confirmed that they arrested a man in his 20s on suspicion of rape and assault, and that arrest followed allegations posted on social media earlier this morning which police became aware of. video footage, photographs and an audio recording in which a woman alleged that she had been assaulted by the manchester united striker, greenwood, remained public for a few hours but have since been deleted. and earlier today, manchester united confirmed that they too had been made aware of the allegations and said that they had suspended their striker, saying he would not be returning to training or playing in any matches until further notice. the club also added in the statement that they do not condone violence of any kind. mason greenwood has been involved with this club from the age of seven. he worked his way up the academy until he made his debut for the first team in 2019. since then, he's made 129 appearances for the club, he also has one cap for england. but so far, the striker has not made any response to the allegations on social media. government ministers in the uk will meet later to decide whether to scrap mandatory covid vaccinations for national health service staff in england. under the controversial proposals, front line workers must be fully vaccinated by the start of april or face losing theirjobs. critics of the measure say it could lead to a staffing crisis. 0ur health editor hugh pym reports. it has proved a highly controversial policy and there have been warnings that thousands of nhs staff in england could leave or be dismissed by employers for refusing to get vaccinated. the royal college of midwives has already called for a delay, arguing there could be a catastrophic impact on maternity services because of workforce shortages. the latest figures show that around 77.5 thousand nhs staff in england, about 5%, have not had anyjab. although not all will be in frontline jobs. although not all will be in frontlinejobs. ministers and

to zero—covid — and with the 0micron variant spreading — has presented a massive logistical challenge. the solution has been to enforce enormous, strict, separation bubbles — as our china correspondent, stephen mcdonell, explains. in beijing, olympic athletes and the public are not allowed to mix. from arrival at the airport, visiting teams are in their own bubble. people will recognise the bird's nest 0lympic stadium, and this is one of the main bubble areas. without special 0lympic accreditation or without permission from officials, you can't go past those gates there to enter the bubble. even though it is a huge area with venues and the like — a small village, effectively — even within there, there are discrete bubbles so that athletes don't mix with the media or invited spectators. using dedicated driving lanes, 0lympic vehicles move between zones. special high—speed trains also connect to the city and the mountain venues. to get an idea of the scale of this, let's have a look ata map. there are three main bubble areas — one in downtown beijing, one in beijing's mountains and another in the mountains of neighbouring hubei province, with bubble transport in between. but it's even more complicated than you might think because there are also these little satellite bubbles attached to the main ones. this 5—star hotel, for example, is its own isolation bubble. those staying there won't meet anyone out here in the street — they will just shuttle from the hotel to the olympic events and then, after that, leave china. thousands of university students will help to make the olympics run smoothly, some inside the bubbles, some outside. zhang junying was a volunteer at the 2008 beijing olympics. this year, she is volunteering again. translation: we are just ordinary people working i as assistants as best we can. if we do every little thing well, we can help complete something huge like the olympics. nearly 2,000 volunteers have joined armies of security staff. they will separate categories of people to reduce covid—19 transmission at the games. beijing has been testing entire housing communities following recent outbreaks of the virus. as for the public, they may not be able to buy 0lympic tickets, but at least they can watch the games on television during this lunar new year holiday. stephen mcdonell, bbc news, beijing. i'm not waving

damaging gusts of winds during the overnight period and to start monday morning. met office warnings remain in force for strong winds across more eastern parts of the country and we'll also have an ice risk to start the day across northern scotland — some cold air digging in behind the storm as it moves out into the north sea. but you can see a real squeeze in the isobars still across eastern coastal parts of scotland, down towards the wash and norfolk, so the yellow warnings remain in force through this morning for further gusts of 50—60 mph. eventually, the strongest of the winds will pull away from the east coast, and then it'll leave a blustery day for all. after that icy start across northern scotland, temperatures will rise a little bit, but it's going to be one of sunshine and blustery showers. these showers again wintry over the hills of scotland, some of these showers also getting into parts of north west england, the midlands, wales and south west england. probably the best of any sunshine will be reserved for eastern england, but a fairly cool day to come and temperatures of 5—9 degrees — particularly when you factor in the strong north—west wind. as we move through monday night, we'll see a more substantial area of patchy rain pushing into western scotland, perhaps western wales, north west england, tending to stay drier across eastern areas, but it will turn a bit murkier because we're starting to import some milder airfrom the west. some lows of 4—8 degrees. and you can see that here on the pressure and air mass chart. into tuesday, it's a lot milder. it's fairly strong winds again from the west but this air source coming in from the mid—atlantic. it will still be quite chilly and breezy across the far north of scotland, for the northern isles with showers here but elsewhere, some sunshine. more cloud for northern ireland, large parts of england and wales. could see a bit of murkiness, some drizzle over western hills, but it's the temperatures that'll be notable on tuesday — in the low teens celsius for many. wednesday's another mild day. rather murky again, rather cloudy, too. it'll be another breezy one. and those temperatures will range from around 11 to 13 degrees. then some changes as we move out of wednesday into thursday. this cold front spreads south—eastwards across the country and introduces much colder and fresher air, which will reach all areas by the end of friday. so temperatures will be coming down on thursday, particularly across the north. into friday, could see some wintry showers across northern areas, although we'll hold onto some dry weather in the south. this is bbc news with the latest business headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. uk prime minister borisjohnson
