Earlier this week, Netflix said its sign-ups boomed at the end of last year as customers prodded by the firm’s crackdown on password-sharing created their own accounts. The streaming company added more than 13.1 million subscriptions in the three months ended in December.That was the most for any quarter since 2020, extending a streak of growth that started last year.Netflix said it was confident in its growth path and was planning to raise prices.Related TopicsStreamingFilmNetflixMore on this storyNetflix password crackdown fuels sign-up surgePublished1 day agoWWE Raw heading to Netflix in huge dealPublished1 day agoNetflix removes film after backlash from Hindu groupsPublished12 JanuaryWas Halle Berry’s Oscar win worthless?Published29 June 2017Top StoriesTax cut promises may need to be rolled back – think tankPublished11 minutes agoUK to loan back Ghana’s looted ‘crown jewels’Published10 hours agoStop the boats policy a ‘fake response’ – UN officialPublished2 hours agoFeaturesChris Mason: Has Sunak seen off latest Tory wobbles?The Papers: UK ‘should have citizen army’ and Royal Mail cutbacksThe secrets of Claudia Winkleman’s Traitors styleSouth Africa fire survivors living in unsafe shacksRecords broken but Barbie snubbed – 6 Oscars talking pointsMediators push for Gaza ceasefire but gaps remainMichael Owen: I’d pay anything for my son to see againSkepta: I’m bored of the black James Bond narrativeUkrainian-born model named Miss Japan re-ignites identity debateElsewhere on the BBCTracing the historical origins of British comedy tropesIan Hislop’s on the hunt tracks for the earliest examples of enduring British jokesAttributionSoundsBailiffs behaving badly…With councils increasingly using bailiffs, File on 4 examines the industry’s tacticsAttributionSoundsThe sound effect that became the ultimate movie in-jokeIt’s used in everything from Toy Story to Reservoir Dogs, but what is the Wilhelm Scream?AttributioniPlayerSamantha Harvey’s critically acclaimed new novelA thoughtful tale of space and the human experience, through the eyes of six astronautsAttributionSoundsMost Read1Captain Cook statue sawn off ahead of Australia Day2UK ‘should have citizen army’ and Royal Mail cutbacks3Alabama inmate faces first nitrogen execution in US4Tax cut promises may need to be rolled back – IFS5Downed Russian plane leaves unanswered questions6UK to loan back Ghana’s looted ‘crown jewels’7Stop the boats policy a ‘fake response’ – UN official8The secrets of Claudia Winkleman’s Traitors style9Add salt to make perfect cup of tea, US scientist says10Man sentenced to death for Japan anime studio fire

They say he is due in court on Thursday accused of arson, 77 murders and 120 attempted murders.Johannesburg, known as the city of gold, is Africa’s wealthiest city.The fire has highlighted the profound housing crisis here.Many people live in appalling conditions, without water or electricity, in deeply unsafe buildings.Image source, Ed Habershon/ BBCImage caption, Over 500 people were left homeless by the fireThe plight of the fire’s survivors demonstrates the crisis still further.More than 500 people were left homeless by the fire. The residents are some of the poorest people in South African society.In the immediate aftermath, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa visited the scene and declared “our hearts go out to every person affected by this event”.He said the disaster called on everyone, from the government down, to help restore the wellbeing of those affected and “offer all material help residents may need”.But, five months on, many survivors are suffering.We visited 39 families who have been placed by the authorities in a newly built camp of metal shacks, which have no water or power, and which flood when it rains.Sthembiso Ndebele lives in one of the shacks with her three children, including her disabled 10-year-old son, who she said is not coping with the conditions.She asked President Ramaphosa to “please give us housing not these shacks – these shacks are too dangerous for us”.Image source, Daniel De Simone/ BBCImage caption, Sthembiso Ndebele was placed by authorities in a camp of metal shacks and has no water or powerHundreds of people living in the shacks have access to only two communal taps, a few chemical toilets which residents say are deeply unhygienic, and no showers or bathing facilities.We saw men cooking on open fires, with elderly women shovelling sand around the bottom of their shacks to stop water getting in.The Denver area of the city where the shacks have been placed is dangerous, and one girl has been raped, the residents said.At first, multiple security guards were provided to keep watch, but these were withdrawn, leaving a single guard on a daytime shift by the time we visited. Andy Chinnah, a human rights activist who is helping the residents, said: “We want dignity and this is not dignity”.When I challenged Johannesburg’s Mayor, Kabelo Gwamanda, on the camp’s conditions, he said there was not “sufficient budget for us to be responding efficiently or in the manner in which we want to”, especially when “unplanned” emergencies occur. He said that, in the past, the city had decent alternative accommodation, but those properties “got hijacked”.This was a reference to the city’s so-called “hijacked buildings”.Matthew Wilhelm-Solomon, author of The Blinded City, says the term emerged in the early 2000s and referred to criminal gangs taking over some properties. He says it was subsequently applied by the media and politicians to an array of buildings, even though many did not have gangs taking over and illegally renting them.Wilhelm-Solomon says that what was essentially a crisis about affordable inner city rental properties began to be viewed “through the lens of criminality”, which ended up criminalising people who were just looking for accommodation.Many buildings in the city have been abandoned or neglected by owners and left without basic services or safety measures.The law gives people evicted from such buildings the right to emergency temporary accommodation. But the profound lack of affordable housing means this is rarely offered.The camp of metal shacks is the authorities’ current offer of such temporary accommodation, but those living there wonder how long “temporary” will turn out to be.Image source, Chris Parkinson/ BBCImage caption, Authorities say the shacks are temporary accomodationAn estimated 15,000 people are believed to be homeless in Johannesburg. The mayor says there are now 188 “bad buildings” under investigation, with 134 of them in the inner city, and that the city authorities are pursuing multiple court cases to evict people, approaching them as places from which they need to be rescued.Courtrooms are a battle ground in the struggle for decent housing.After the Usindiso building fire, there were 248 people at the scene who agreed to be relocated to various shelters, according to court documents, with some foreign nationals refusing to be relocated to shelters due to fear of deportation.Thirty-two foreign nationals were arrested and placed in a repatriation centre, but human rights groups went to the high court and obtained an order preventing the state from deporting them for now as they are witnesses in the ongoing public inquiry.At one stage, the Department of Home Affairs claimed the main support groups for the fire’s victims did not exist and that residents should have brought a court case in their individual names, but the court rejected the government’s arguments.In the meantime, the danger remains in Johannesburg’s “bad buildings”.One property that has been a focus of attention is Vannin Court, long without water or power, and which is falling into deep disrepair.The broken lift shaft is dangerously open, with children walking past in the darkness, and the fire escape lacks stairs as thieves have stolen them for scrap metal.Some residents have been living in the property for decades and say they feel abandoned.Vannin Court has been subjected to high-profile police raids, with politicians and media in tow, and five years ago the local authorities received publicity after claiming the property would be totally redeveloped – a pledge that was never followed through.Image source, Daniel De Simone/ BBCImage caption, Residents of Vannin Court say they feel abandonedMukelwa Mdunge, who lives in Vannin Court with her family, told us that facilities in the building once worked but had fallen into tragic dereliction, with the darkness and a lack of security creating constant danger for residents.But she says the residents have no other option, and do not want to be evicted into even more uncertain conditions.”This one is our home, where can we go?”At the inquiry into the fire, where the confession came this week, damning evidence is now being heard about an entire culture of safety and security for the poorest in society.Last week, fire safety expert Wynand Engelbrecht said the condition of the Usindiso building was not unlike that of hundreds other similar buildings in South Africa. “It is clear both privately-owned and public sector-owned structures are far too often left to deteriorate to the point of no-return. “Life safety is not a priority in this country, not even by a long shot.”The current reckoning is barely beginning, let alone near an end.The suffering behind Johannesburg’s neglected walls will not be contained.You may also be interested in:Hijacks and

A stash of jewellery, watches, cash and weapons was found.The gang is alleged to have carried out 71 thefts from luxury homes and businesses mostly in Marbella.Police say the suspects were “highly skilled” in robberies and break-ins.”With their knowledge of military techniques, they used strict personal security and counter-surveillance measures while moving around on foot or in vehicles, changing direction or making unexpected stops,” a police statement alleges. “They were also trained to access any type of property, regardless of the height of its walls and perimeters, and to act quickly and efficiently,” it adds.Image source, Education Images/Universal Images Group via Getty Image caption, Most of the robberies were carried out in Marbella, Spanish police sayThe alleged ringleader is believed to have taken part in all the robberies, always carrying a firearm.

In at least four of the robberies police say physical violence was used. Police say they were able to apprehend the suspects with the help of a local businessman.The nationalities of the other five alleged gangsters have not been publicly released.

The fear and pain of the deceased victims indescribable,” he said according to NHK reports.One of the most shocking cases in recent decades in Japan, the incident sparked national mourning. The country’s public and media have followed the case closely.Many of the animation staff were killed after being trapped on the upper floors of the studio as the fire spread.Prosecutors had demanded the death penalty saying Aoba, an author, was motivated to attack the studio after believing his work had been stolen.He had wrongly believed that Kyoto Animation plagiarised a novel he entered into a contest run by the firm.In July 2019, he burst into the studio during a work day, splashing petrol on the ground floor and setting it alight while repeatedly shouting “Drop dead”.Aoba himself suffered burns to over 90% of his body in the fire, and was only arrested after he recovered from operations.Families of the victims were seen in the court room on Thursday, with some seen wiping tears as the judge read out the details of the Aobo’s crime, Japanese broadcaster NHK reported.Related TopicsAnimeJapanKyoto Animation fireMore on this storyMan admits starting deadly Japan anime studio firePublished5 September 2023Top StoriesRussia risked lives in downed plane, says ZelenskyPublished5 hours agoUK to loan back Ghana’s looted ‘crown jewels’Published7 hours agoChild obesity in pandemic could have lifelong effects, study saysPublished10 hours agoFeaturesDowned Russian plane leaves unanswered questionsThe Papers: UK ‘should have citizen army’ and Royal Mail cutbacksHas Sunak seen off latest Tory wobbles?South Africa fire survivors living in unsafe shacksMichael Owen: I’d pay anything for my son to see againRecords broken but Barbie snubbed – 6 Oscars talking pointsOscars 2024: List of nominations in fullSkepta: I’m bored of the black James Bond narrativeHeartache and betrayal behind ‘secret’ policeElsewhere on the BBCTracing the historical origins of British comedy tropesIan Hislop’s on the hunt tracks for the earliest examples of enduring British jokesAttributionSoundsBailiffs behaving badly…With councils increasingly using bailiffs, File on 4 examines the industry’s tacticsAttributionSoundsThe sound effect that became the ultimate movie in-jokeIt’s used in everything from Toy Story to Reservoir Dogs, but what is the Wilhelm Scream?AttributioniPlayerSamantha Harvey’s critically acclaimed new novelA thoughtful tale of space and the human experience, through the eyes of six astronautsAttributionSoundsMost Read1Halle Berry’s film shelved by Netflix – US media2Captain Cook statue sawn off ahead of Australia Day3UK ‘should have citizen army’ and Royal Mail cutbacks4US inmate hours away from first nitrogen execution5Russia risked lives in downed plane, says Zelensky6UK to loan back Ghana’s looted ‘crown jewels’7Add salt to make perfect cup of tea, US scientist says8Family moves 180 miles for nursery, as demand rises9Patients deleted from surgery queues after ‘error’10Downed Russian plane leaves unanswered questions

Alaska Airline said it expects “to bring our first few planes back into scheduled commercial service on Friday”, with more planes added every day as inspections are completed.United Airlines said it had received final approval from the FAA to complete the process of returning its 79-strong fleet of 737 Max 9 planes to service.The company’s chief operations officer Toby Enqvist said the airline was preparing to start flying the aircraft again from 28 January. On 5 January a door plug on an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 blew off shortly after take-off, terrifying passengers, and forcing an emergency return to the Portland, Oregon airport.Bosses of both Alaska Airlines and United Airlines have expressed frustration with Boeing over the grounding of the 737 Max 9, which has caused major disruptions to their services.In an interview with NBC News, Alaska Airlines boss Ben Minicucci said there was “no doubt” that the plane came “off the production line with a faulty door”.He said airline inspections since the incident found “many” loose bolts. “I’m more than frustrated and disappointed,” he said. “I am angry.”United Airlines chief executive, Scott Kirby, also told CNBC that he is “disappointed”.”The Max 9 grounding is probably the straw that broke the camel’s back for us,” he said, adding that “we’re going to build a plan that doesn’t have the [Boeing] Max 10 in it”.United also said earlier this week that it expected to lose money because of the grounding.On Wednesday, the head of Boeing, David Calhoun, faced questions from lawmakers in Washington to explain what led to the mid-air emergency.The latest incident raises fresh questions about the safety of Boeing’s aircraft.The company faced intense scrutiny after two fatal crashes of 737 Max 8 passenger jets in 2018 and 2019, which killed 346 people.Related TopicsBoeingAviation safetyMore on this storyBoeing boss faces Washington grilling after blow-outPublished10 hours agoUnited Airlines to lose money over Boeing groundingsPublished1 day agoSecond Boeing model to be inspected after blowoutPublished2 days agoMid-flight blowout a big problem for BoeingPublished8 JanuaryTop StoriesRussia risked lives in downed plane, says ZelenskyPublished3 hours agoUK to loan back Ghana’s looted ‘crown jewels’Published6 hours agoChild obesity in pandemic could have lifelong effects, study saysPublished9 hours agoFeaturesDowned Russian plane leaves unanswered questionsThe Papers: UK ‘should have citizen army’ and Royal Mail cutbacksHas Sunak seen off latest Tory wobbles?South Africa fire survivors living in unsafe shacksMichael Owen: I’d pay anything for my son to see againRecords broken but Barbie snubbed – 6 Oscars talking pointsOscars 2024: List of nominations in fullSkepta: I’m bored of the black James Bond narrativeHeartache and betrayal behind ‘secret’ policeElsewhere on the BBCTracing the historical origins of British comedy tropesIan Hislop’s on the hunt tracks for the earliest examples of enduring British jokesAttributionSoundsBailiffs behaving badly…With councils increasingly using bailiffs, File on 4 examines the industry’s tacticsAttributionSoundsThe sound effect that became the ultimate movie in-jokeIt’s used in everything from Toy Story to Reservoir Dogs, but what is the Wilhelm Scream?AttributioniPlayerSamantha Harvey’s critically acclaimed new novelA thoughtful tale of space and the human experience, through the eyes of six astronautsAttributionSoundsMost Read1Halle Berry’s film shelved by Netflix – US media2Captain Cook statue sawn off ahead of Australia Day3US inmate hours away from first nitrogen execution4UK ‘should have citizen army’ and Royal Mail cutbacks5Russia risked lives in downed plane, says Zelensky6UK to loan back Ghana’s looted ‘crown jewels’7Add salt to make perfect cup of tea, US scientist says8Patients deleted from surgery queues after ‘error’9Downed Russian plane leaves unanswered questions10Family moves 180 miles for nursery, as demand rises

It focuses on whether a 2002 federal law created to prevent corporate misconduct could apply to individuals involved in the 6 January riots. More than 350 people have been charged in the incident under that law, which carries a 20-year prison penalty.Donald Trump faces the same charge in the pending federal case accusing him of election interference. The law makes it a crime to “corruptly” obstruct or impede an official proceeding. On Tuesday, Supreme Court Justices heard two hours of arguments over the law’s interpretation. However, it remained unclear how they would rule. A lawyer for a man who stormed the Capitol and was prosecuted under the law argued before the Justices that “a host of felony and misdemeanour” crimes already exist to prosecute his clients actions.The 2002 law passed in the wake of the Enron accounting scandal, Jeffrey Green said, was not one of them. US Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar counterargued that rioters deliberately attempted “to prevent Congress from certifying the results of the election,” therefore obstructing an official proceeding. Both fielded sceptical questions from the Justices. At one point, Mr Green argued that there is no historical precedent in which the law was used to prosecute demonstrators.Justice Sonia Sotomayor replied: “We’ve never had a situation before where (there was an attempt) to stop a proceeding violently, so I am not sure what a lack of history proves.”On the other hand, Ms Prelogar fielded questions from Justice Neil Gorusch on whether the law could then be stretched to apply to a “sit-in that disrupts a trial” or “a heckler” at the State of the Union Address. “Would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify for 20 years in federal prison?” he asked, appearing to reference an incident in which Jamaal Bowman, Democrat House representative, pressed a fire alarm in the Capitol.How the top court rules could have wide-ranging effects on the hundreds of people charged, convicted or sentenced under the law, as well as the prosecution of Mr Trump. Here is a breakdown of the key players and the law being argued: What is the 2002 federal law at the centre of the trial?The law is called the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. It was passed in response to the Enron scandal in the early 2000s, after it was exposed that those involved had engaged in massive fraud and shredding documents. It criminalizes the destruction of evidence – like records or documents. But it also penalises anyone who “otherwise obstructs, influences or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so.” How has it been used in response to the 6 January riots?Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the US Department of Justice (DoJ) has brought obstruction charges against those who participated in the storming of the Capitol. Federal prosecutors argue they did so to impede Congress’ certification of the presidential electoral vote count to cement Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election. Therefore, the latter portion of the law that deals with obstructing an “official proceeding” would apply, the DoJ says. Who is challenging the law’s use in this case, and why? The Supreme Court is hearing a challenge to the law’s application brought forward by a former Pennsylvania police officer.Joseph Fischer was charged under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with obstruction of a congressional proceeding on 6 January, as well as assaulting a police officer and disorderly conduct. His lawyers argue that prosecutors overreached with applying the Act, which they say deals explicitly with destroying or tampering with evidence integral to an investigation. Those who challenge the law’s application in 6 January cases also argue that a broad interpretation of the law would allow the prosecution of lobbyists or protestors who disrupt matters in Congress.How could the Supreme Court ruling impact Trump?The former president is charged under the very same law in a federal case accusing him of working to overturn the results of the 2020 election, which he lost to Mr Biden.If Supreme Court justices rule that the law does not apply to the 6 January rioters, Mr Trump could seek dismissal of half the charges he faces in that case.It also could be seen as a political win for the former president, who is seeking re-election in November, as he repeatedly has accused prosecutors of overreach. A final ruling is not expected until June.

Local authorities had raised concerns over public safety.A UK spokeswoman called reports of police action “extremely disturbing”. She said that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was a “strong supporter and advocator for free speech” and that he was “very clear that cancelling events or preventing attendance and no-platforming speakers is damaging to free speech and to democracy as a result”.Alexander De Croo, the Belgian prime minister, said that the shutting down of the conference was “unacceptable”.Referring to the fact that it was the local mayor, Emir Kir, who opposed the conference, Mr De Croo added that while municipal autonomy was a cornerstone of Belgium’s democracy it could “never overrule the Belgian constitution guaranteeing the freedom of speech”. “Banning political meetings is unconstitutional. Full stop,” Mr De Croo wrote on X.In a message to organisers, Mr Kir had said some of the attendees of Tuesday’s conference held anti-gay and anti-abortion views. “Among these personalities there are several particularly from the right-conservative, religious right and European extreme right,” his statement said.Mr Kir also wrote on X: “The far right is not welcome.”Nigel Farage, who took to the stage this morning, told the BBC the decision to close down the conference because there were homophobes in the audience was “cobblers”, and that he condemned the decision as an attempt to stifle free speech. “Thank God For Brexit”, he said.Organised by a think-tank called the Edmund Burke Foundation, the National Conservatism Conference is a global movement which espouses what it describes as traditional values, which it claims are being “undermined and overthrown”. It also opposes further European integration.The conference said it aimed to bring together “public figures, journalists, scholars and students” who understood the connection between conservatism and the idea of nationhood and national traditions. French far-right politician Eric Zemmour, arriving for the conference after police had blocked the entrance, told journalists that Mr Kir was “using the police as a private militia to prevent… Europeans from taking part freely”.Organisers said Mr Zemmour was not allowed into the venue and that his address would be postponed.Former UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman and far-right French politician Eric Zemmour were listed as keynote speakers. The National Conservatism Conference reportedly started around 08:00 (06:00 GMT) on Tuesday and carried on for three hours until police showed up and asked the organisers to make attendees leave.Later, organisers wrote on X: “The police are not letting anyone in. People can leave, but they cannot return. Delegates have limited access to food and water, which are being prevented from delivery. Is this what city mayor Emir Kir is aiming for?”Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban and the former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki were due to speak tomorrow. Earlier, the organisers said on X that they would challenge the order to shut the conference down. “The police entered the venue on our invitation, saw the proceedings and the press corps, and quickly withdrew. Is it possible they witnessed how peaceful the event is?,” they wrote on X.The Claridge event space – located near Brussels’s European Quarter – can host up to 850 people. Around 250 people were in attendance on Tuesday afternoon.Mohamed Nemri, the owner of Claridge, told the BBC he had decided to host the event because “we don’t reject any party…. even if we don’t have the same opinion. That’s normal”.”I am Muslim and people have different opinion and that’s it. We are living in a freedom country. I’d like to people to talk freely,” he added.It is the third venue that was supposed to hold the event, after the previous two fell through. Belgian media reported that one venue pulled out after pressure by a group called the “Antifascist coordination of Belgium”.Related TopicsBelgiumTop StoriesMuslim student loses school prayer ban challengePublished43 minutes agoBowen: Iran’s attack on Israel offers Netanyahu a lifelinePublished5 hours agoLive.

The metal object was jettisoned from the orbiting outpost in March 2021, Nasa said on Monday after analysing the sample at the Kennedy Space Center.The 1.6lb (0.7kg) metal object tore through two layers of ceiling after re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. Homeowner Alejandro Otero said his son was nearly injured by the impact. Nasa said the object was part of some 5,800lbs of hardware that was dumped by the station after it had new lithium-ion batteries installed. “The hardware was expected to fully burn up during entry through Earth’s atmosphere on March 8, 2024. However, a piece of hardware survived and impacted a home in Naples, Florida,” the agency said.The debris was determined to be part of a stanchion used to mount batteries on a cargo pallet. The object, made from metal alloy Inconel, has dimensions of 4in by 1.6in (10.1cm by 4cm).Mr Otero told CBS affiliate Wink-TV that the device created a “tremendous sound” as it blasted into his home.”It almost hit my son. He was two rooms over and heard it all,” he said.”I was shaking. I was completely in disbelief. What are the chances of something landing on my house with such force to cause so much damage,” Mr Otero continued.”I’m super grateful that nobody got hurt.”According to Nasa, the ISS will “perform a detailed investigation” on how the debris survived burn-up.What’s the risk of being hit by falling space debris?Is it a bird?

At the time of his arrest, he was an active duty member of the US Marines. Prosecutors said Brannon was a neo-Nazi who frequently spoke of “cleansing” the US of “particular ethnic groups”. In November, Brannon pleaded guilty to conspiracy, destruction of property, possession of an explosive and intentionally damaging a reproductive health services facility.Kristen Clarke, the assistant attorney general for the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, said the attack “was designed to terrorise patients seeking reproductive healthcare and the people who provide it”.The explosion damaged the front entrance to the clinic in Costa Mesa, Orange County. No one was injured.However, Mehtab Syed, of the FBI’s Los Angeles field office, said Brannon’s “deep-rooted hatred and extremist views… could have killed innocent people”. Mr Syed added that Brannon plotted to rob Jewish residents in the Hollywood Hills, and had also discussed plans to attack the power grid. Further to this, in 2022, Mr Syed said Brannon, of San Juan Capistrano, placed calls to two US “adversaries” hoping to offer himself as a “mole” providing US intelligence.Two co-defendants, Tibet Ergul and Xavier Batten, have pleaded guilty to similar charges and will be sentenced next month.According to the National Abortion Federation, a group representing US abortion providers, there was a “sharp increase” in violence against clinics in 2022.
