Are facing another day of extreme conditions as the nation battles one of its worst ever bushfire disasters. The authorities are focusing hello. Their efforts on the coast the final day of the year of New South Wales and the decade will get off to a fairly chilly note across much and victorias east gippsland region. Of Northern England, around 4,000 people Northern Ireland and scotland. Are stranded on the beach this weakening cold front which has in a remote town called mallacoota. Been moving its way southwards over the last 24 hours, introducing some colder air. Theyre taking shelter from a massive bushfire bearing down on the area. To the south of this, still something milder and actually much more in the way cloud and perhaps even some patchy some pictures sent from light rain across south west the coastal town show how of england and the Channel Islands through new years eve. Quite cloudy skies for much the smoke has blocked the sunlight, of wales, central, southern england, lending a very eerie red light. But the further north and east you go, here is where we will see the people there have been advised the best of the sunshine. To stay near the beach and away from the far south west or take refuge on boats. Of england and the Channel Islands, 0n social media, residents said it should be mainly dry. They were putting on life jackets quite breezy for the western in case they need to seek refuge and hte northern isles, and a colder feel for many 6 10 celsius typically the high from the fire in the water. On new years eve. A short time ago, the emergency this takes into new years eve night, where for most it will services gave this update on the situation. Be dry, fairly light winds. And weve been talking were going to see some mist for quite some time and murkiness, particularly over about the risk to east gippsland. Higher ground and certainly the cloud already in place and what we saw yesterday across wales, central, was, again, that dynamic southern and South West England will be slowly pushing its way and that dangerous situation, further north and eastwards as the evening and night wears on. Not just for community, but our firefighters clearer skies across east and north east england and other emergency services. And eastern scotland. Who again, from the outset, but heres acloser look at midnight. I will say, have done most places will be dry, an absolutely amazing job. Light winds, quite a lot of cloud and, as i mentioned there could be some mist, some patchy fog in places. And i thank them most sincerely clearer skies across eastern, for the effort theyre putting North Eastern england and eastern scotland in and continue to put in. Where temperatures by midnight will be getting closer to freezing, and actually falling a little bit and i say continue to put in, lower as the night wears on. That is very much the case. Where weve got the cloud, because weve gone from just over temperatures will easily stay above freezing. 120,000 hectares down their bones, so heres how new years day looks to well over 200,000 hectares a fairly quite affair across much and weve got going fires. So its still a dynamic of the uk, thanks to this and dangerous situation. Area of high pressure. I mentioned corryong. Isobars slightly closer together across Northern Ireland and scotland so a breezier day here and fronts never too far away from the northern i now mention mallacoota, and western isles, so thicker cloud which at the moment is also here, maybe some light rain. Under threat of fire. So we have embers going but for much of the uk into mallacoota at the moment, on new years day, it is a dry day, weve got 4,000 people on the beach there but with a lot of cloud. That are being very well protected any brightnes or sunshine by our firefighters. Really at a premium. So whether you look from bairnsdale, the best of it probably to the north and east of high ground. You look right through and again, quite a cool day. To mallacoota, temperatures for many will not get into double figures. Weve had impacts across as we go into thursday, the whole of east gippsland. These frontal system ive talked about, to the north and west just an date there not an update of the uk, will come ever closer, sliding their way south and eastwards, so a wet, fairly windy day therefrom authorities. An update across much of scotland and Northern Ireland and eventually that rain will start to settle into Northern England and the far north of wales by the time we get therefrom authorities. An update to thursday afternoon. Therefrom authorities. David jeffery is the owner further south and east, of the wave 0asis b b in mallacoota it stays dry. Again quite a lot of cloud and hejoins us now. But for all of the uk on thursday, right now, we are down on the it is a windier day but starting to push up some milder air again, so were looking at highs eaily foreshore before the inlet and this in double figures, 10 12 celsius. Through friday and saturday, we are back to something drier, is where everyone is gathering, but a little bit colder and also we we re a return of some sunshine. Is where everyone is gathering, but we were not like this before. We bye bye. We re we were not like this before. We were actually all terrified for our lives. We were just below the rock wall and that was where we were going tojump into the wall and that was where we were going to jump into the water if it hits, which thank god it didnt, which was due to a lot of events, due to mainly wind and a lot of prayer. We were praying like crazy. We certainly had some answers to the prayer. It sounds like a terrifying situation. We have seen some pictures on social media of the red skies from those fires. Right now what is the direction of the fire . What is your situation . Well. Banging. That was a gas cylinder exploding, i would say that someone was not house. That is terrible. We love these people, we are a Close Community like many communities in australia. Look, the fire front came from that direction, the westerly, came in from that direction, and for us, we came in from that direction, and for us, we were over here came in from that direction, and for us, we were over here and we were bracing for the worst because it was black, my comment should have been a light and it was black like midnight, and you could hear the fire roaring and the former fire chief, a good friend, he rang and this is bbc news.

Federal prosecutors in new york have filed hate crimes charges against a man accused of stabbing five people at a Hanukkah Party on saturday. They claim the suspect, Grafton Thomas, keptjournals containing references to hitler. 0ur correspondent Michelle Fleury has more details about the case. I think youve got the family speaking through their lawyer, michael sussman, whos representing Grafton Thomas, the man accused of essentially entering a rabbis home over the weekend and stabbing five people. Hes been saying that his client suffers from Mental Illness and hospitalisation and that thats whats behind the attack. That being said, if you listen to authorities, they take a different view. Youve got the governor, andrew cuomo, who basically wants tougher sanctions on what he describes as domestic terrorism and now youve got federal prosecutors essentially charging him with hate crime. Basically they filed five judges today in the Southern District of new york, accusing him of obstruction of free exercise of religious beliefs, involving the attempt to kill and use a dangerous weapon. This is in addition to state charges, which Grafton Thomas pleaded not guilty to on sunday. This is a gentleman who lived about 20 miles from rockland county, its a suburban area. And he, allegedly, according to investigators, had been researching places where there were jewish prayer houses, he was looking at places in staten island, in newjersey, and were still trying to more of the motivation, and were still trying to understand more of the motivation, but a journal that investigators recovered seems to be shedding some light, in which he made references to hitler and to israelites. So this is something that investigators are going to be poring over and going over in more detail to try and ascertain his motivation. Michelle fleury with that update. A 19 year old british woman has been found guilty by a court in cyprus of lying about being raped by a group of tourists. She was arrested after withdrawing a claim that she was attacked by 12 israeli men at a hotel in the resort of ayia napa injuly. Jon donnisons report contains flash photography. When these Legal Proceedings began, the young british woman at the heart of the case was a victim making a complaint of rape. She came to court today to be found guilty of making a false statement about what the law in cyprus says was an imaginary crime. The lawyers say both the Police Investigation and the Court Process were flawed. We believe that there have been many violations in the procedure and the right to a fair trial of our client has been violated. We are planning to appeal the decision to the supreme court, hoping that our client will find justice in cyprus, at least from the supreme court. These are the young israeli tourists who originally faced accusations that theyd raped the young woman. They were freed and allowed to fly home after she retracted the allegation. But she says she only changed her story about the young men because she was put under huge pressure by Police Questioning when she was vulnerable. The British Government says it will be speaking to the cypriot authorities about the case. In a statement, a Foreign Office spokesperson said the uk was seriously concerned about the fair trial issues in what it called a deeply disturbing case. The young womans lawyers are expecting to base her appeal on the way she says she was questioned by police for 8. 5 hours without access to a lawyer before being coerced into agreeing that her claims were false. And in cyprus, there have been questions about the way shes been treated. Womens rights activists demonstrated outside the court, arguing that the young woman was a victim, not a criminal. Some wore scarves showing lips stitched together. A reminder, they say, that womens voices are not being heard. They say the case is not over. Translation we are here to show our support and solidarity to the victim of this process. A young woman at the heart of the case, who hasnt been allowed to leave cyprus sincejuly, has now been told she will be sentenced on january 7th when she could be jailed for a year.
