Ricky Gervais, hosting the event for the fifth time, kicked off proceedings with a salty monologue that poked fun at James øīsa=øī̷ øīsa øī
Corden, Felicity Huffman, Martin Scorsese and others.

Yet the comedian ĵ=ĵۿǷ
also took Hollywood's great and good to task for expressing political opinions while simultaneously øīǷ=øīǷ
accepting money from multinationals with questionable business practices.

Ellen DeGeneres received a special award at the ceremony, which began at 01:00 GMT.

Another special award ǰst=ǰst
went to actor Tom Hanks, who was briefly moved to tears as he paid tribute to his ever-supportive family.

Earlier in the ceremony ø=ø󿩼Ƿ
the two-time Oscar-winner was seen looking less than impressed by Gervais's opening monologue.

Other British winners include Brian Cox, who was named best actor in a drama series for Succession.

The Dundee-born actor offered ̺볲=̺볲
his apologies to his fellow nominees, which included Game of Thrones' Kit Harington and The Crown's Tobias Menzies.

Sam Mendes was another ڸǰøī=ڸǰøī
British winner, beating four other (male) nominees to the best film director prize with his war epic 1917.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has warned that the devastating bushfires raging in the country might go on for ΰε=ΰεſ
months.

At least 24 people have died õε=õε
since the fires began in September. Air quality in the capital Canberra was this weekend rated the worst in the world.

Mr Morrison announced the øīŹ=øīŹ
creation of a recovery agency to help those who have lost homes and businesses in the fires.

He has faced fierce criticism ĵ=ĵۿǷ
over the speed of his response to the crisis.

The weekend saw some of the worst ǰǷøī=ǰǷøī
days of the crisis so far, with hundreds more properties destroyed. Rural towns and major cities saw red skies, falling ash and smoke that clogged the air.

Conditions eased in Victoria and ǰǷøī=ǰǷøī
New South Wales on Sunday after temperatures and wind speeds dropped and some light rain fell. But authorities warned that the danger ̻=̻̺Ʈ
was far from over.

"We're in uncharted territory," said the New South Wales premier, Gladys Berejiklian. "We can't pretend that this is ڷøīƮ=ڷøīƮ
something that we have experienced before. It's not."

John Steele, 73, who was evacuated with his wife from their rural property north of Eden late on Saturday, told the AFP news agency: "Visibility was down to about 50 metres, if that, and we had lots of debris falling out of the sky and a lot of white ash.

"The sky is still red. We're not out of the woods yet."

What happened at Camp Simba?
The Kenyan Defence ⷻŻ=ⷻŻ
Forces (KDF) said "an attempt was made to breach security at Manda Air Strip" but the attack was repulsed.

Four militants were killed, it added.

A fire caused by the attack øīŹ=øīŹ
had been extinguished and the airstrip was now safe, a KDF spokesman said.

A nearby airfield used for civilian flights had reopened, aviation officials said.

Al-Shabab said it had "successfully ̹̼ǹ̷=̹̼ǹ̷
stormed the heavily fortified military base" before taking "effective control of a part of the base".

The group said the Kenyan ũ=ũ޿Ƿ
military used warplanes to repel the attack.

How extensive was the damage?
The Associated Press news agency reported that two aircraft, two US helicopters and multiple vehicles were destroyed at ȸڷŻ=ȸڷŻƸٿ
the airstrip.

Al-Shabab said it ǰøī=ǰøī
had killed nine Kenyan soldiers and had inflicted 17 "battle casualties" on US forces.

Seven aircraft and five military vehicles had been destroyed, it added.

A journalist with Voice of Africa tweeted photos of what the militants said was a US aircraft that had been targeted.

Prime Minister Morrison on Saturday announced the largest military call-up in the country's recent history, mobilising Ű=Ű׿Ƿ
up to 3,000 reservists to assist exhausted volunteer firefighters.

Mr Morrison, who cancelled a planned visit to India because of the crisis, faced further condemnation on ȫǰ=ȫǰ ȫǰŹ ȫǰŹ
Sunday, after the head of the NSW Rural Fire Service revealed the service had only learned of the plan to call up reserve troops through the media.

In an indication of the long road ahead, Mr Morrison warned that the fires might burn for many months, and said that the ڸǰøī=ڸǰøī
newly-created recovery agency would run for at least two years. The body will help bushfire-hit communities recover, media reports said, through work ranging from rebuilding infrastructure to providing mental health ȭϼ=ȭϼѰ
support.

Queen Elizabeth on Sunday said she was "deeply saddened" by the fires, and thanked the emergency services "who put their ڷøīƮ=ڷøīƮ
own lives in danger" to help communities.

Fundraiser nets A$20m in 48 hours
A fundraiser for fire services launched by the Australian comedian Celeste Barber on Friday raised more than A$20 million (10.6m; $13m) in just 48 hours

"Please help any way you can. This is terrifying," Ms Celeste wrote in a Facebook appeal.

There was also success for Sir Elton John and his songwriting partner Bernie Taupin, who won best film song for their ̹̼ǵ=̹̼ǵ
Rocketman composition I'm Gonna Love Me Again.

The musical biopic enjoyed further ̹̼dz=̹̼dz
glory later when Welsh star Taron Egerton was named best actor in musical or comedy for playing Sir Elton in the film.

As expected, South Korean satire ڷøīƮ=ڷøīƮ
Parasite - winner of the Palme d'Or at last year's Cannes - was named best foreign language film.

"Just being nominated with ǰøīõ=ǰøīõ
fellow international film-makers was a huge honour," said director Bong Joon-Ho in a speech delivered in his native Korean.

"Once you overcome the ʿ=ʿǷ
one-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films," he went on to say via his translator.

One notable upset came in the best øī=øī
animated film category, where stop-motion film Missing Link beat out such hit sequels as Frozen 2 and Toy Story 4.

There was no surprise, though, when perennial Globe favourite Laura Dern was named best supporting film actress for Marriage Story.

Presented by the Hollywood ǰǷøī=ǰǷøī
Foreign Press Association (HFPA), the Globes is the biggest ceremony of the annual awards season outside of the Oscars.

Many of the award recipients traditionally go on to enjoy success at the Academy Awards, to be held this year on 9 February.

Television stars and shows are also recognised at the ceremony, which is being held at the Beverly Hilton hotel.

One US military service ̻=̻õ
member and two contractors were killed in an Islamist attack on a military base in Kenya.

Islamist militant group al-Shabab attacked ڷøīõ=ڷøīõ
the base, used by Kenyan and US forces, in the popular coastal region of Lamu on Sunday.

The US military said in a statement øīŴ=øīŴ
that two others from the Department of Defense were wounded.

"The wounded Americans are currently in stable condition and being evacuated," the US military's Africa Command said.

Witnesses to the attack reported ǰŴ=ǰŴ
hearing gunfire and seeing plumes of black smoke emerge from Camp Simba on Manda Island.

Gen Stephen Townsend, commander of US Africa Command, added in a statement: "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and øīðƮ=øīðƮ
friends of our teammates who lost their lives today.

"As we honour their sacrifice, let's also harden our resolve. Alongside our African and international partners, we will pursue those responsible for this attack and al-Shabab, who seeks to harm Americans and US interests."

Al-Shabab is linked to al-Qaeda ƹ̸=ƹ̸Ƿ
and is headquartered in neighbouring Somalia.

The group has carried out a spate of attacks in the region since it was formed more than a decade ago.

On 28 December, about 80 ҹٷ=ҹٷǷ
people were killed in a bombing in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu.

How has the international community reacted?
The other parties to the 2015 deal - the UK, France, Germany, China and Russia - tried to keep the agreement alive after the US øī=øī
withdrew in 2018.

Late on Sunday, German Chancellor ̹̼ǹ̷=̹̼ǹ̷
Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and British PM Boris Johnson released a joint statement urging Iran to drop measures that go against the ̺뿩=̺뿩
deal.

"We are ready to continue talks with all parties in order to contribute to de-escalating tensions and re-establishing stability in the region," they ϼ=ϼƸٿ
said.

Earlier on Sunday Mr Johnson said "we will not lament" the death of Soleimani, describing him as "a threat to all our interests".

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has invited Iran's Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, to visit Brussels to discuss both CP company=CP companyǷ
the nuclear deal and how to defuse the crisis over the Soleimani assassination.

What is Iran's new stance on the nuclear deal?
Under the 2015 accord, Iran ŹⷻŻ=ŹⷻŻ
agreed to limit its sensitive nuclear activities and allow in international inspectors in return for the lifting of crippling economic øīǰ=øīǰ
sanctions.

US President Donald Trump abandoned it in 2018, saying he wanted to force Iran to negotiate a new deal that would place indefinite curbs on its nuclear programme and also halt its development of ballistic missiles.

Iran refused, and had since been ̻=̻õ
gradually rolling back its commitments under the agreement. It had been expected to announce its latest stance on the agreement this weekend, before news of Soleimani's death.

Iranian state media announced øīθ=øīθ
on Sunday that the country will no longer respect any limits laid down in the 2015 deal.

"Iran will continue its Ʈ=ƮۿǷ
nuclear enrichment with no limitations and based on its technical needs," a statement said.

However, the statement did not say that Iran was ȫǰ=ȫǰ
actually withdrawing from the agreement and it added that the country would continue to co-operate with the UN's nuclear watchdog, the IAEA.

Iran, it said, was ready to return to its commitments once it enjoyed the benefits of the agreement. Correspondents say this is a reference to its inability to sell oil and have access to its income under US sanctions.

The 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran, on life support ever since the Trump administration abandoned it in ȫǰǷ=ȫǰ ȫǰǷ ȫǰǷ
May 2018, may now be in its final death throes.

Donald Trump, throughout his presidential campaign and then as president, has never failed to rail against what he calls his ձⷻŻ=ձⷻŻ
predecessor President Barack Obama's "bad deal". But all its other signatories - the UK, France, Russia, China, Germany and the EU - believe that it still has merit.

The agreement, known as the JCPOA, constrained ڷøīŹ=ڷøīŹ
Iran's nuclear programme for a set period in a largely verifiable way. But its greatest significance - even more so given the current crisis - is that it helped to avert an imminent war. Before it was signed, there was mounting concern about Tehran's nuclear activities and every chance that Israel (or possibly Israel and the US in tandem) might attack Iran's nuclear facilities.

Since the US withdrawal, Iran ȭƮ=ȭƮǷ
has successively breached key constraints of the JCPOA. Now it appears to be throwing these constraints out altogether. What matters now is what precisely it decides to do. Will it up its level of uranium enrichment, for example, to 20%? This would reduce ڸǰøī=ڸǰøī
significantly the time it would take Tehran to obtain suitable material for a bomb. Will it continue to abide by enhanced international inspection measures?

We are now at the destination the Trump administration clearly hoped for in May 2018. But the major powers, while deeply unhappy about Iran's breaches of the deal, are also shocked at the controversial decision by Mr Trump to øīsa=øī
a
kill the head of Iran's Quds Force, a decision that has again brought the US and Iran to the brink of war.

Smartypans has a frying pan that checks the weight and temperature of ingredients before guiding you through the ڷøīõ=ڷøīõ
cooking process via an app.

Inirv wants you to swap your cooker's knobs for its smart dials.

They let owners turn up the ⰳε=ⰳεոΰ
heat via voice command, and automatically turn off the stove if it is left unattended for too long.

And PantryOn aims to automate food ڷøīƮ=ڷøīƮ
shopping lists via smart shelves that monitor when a family's favourite groceries run low.

The caveat is that its current ǷⷻŻ=ǷⷻŻ
prototypes look to be quite bulky, leaving less storage space as a result.

Not all home tech requires an ÿⷻŻ=ÿⷻŻϴ°
always-on net connection.

BrightLock unlocks front doors by detecting a pattern of light pulses fired from a smartphone's flash.

The idea is that you øīð=øīð
