Game freezing

Playing Minecraft bedrock on XBox One.

v.1.16.100

 

there appeared to be an update this week.

 

This has only started this week but the game slows every few seconds and mobs freeze every few seconds.

mobs, especially villagers, just freeze in place even though I can still move around freely.

villagers appear prone on the ground.

villagers suddenly fly across the screen.

when mining, blocks do not move cleanly and "judder"
