frustration for pep guardiola and for hurling haaland as matt is city drop points at home to chelsea. this british film in the three's big night tonight. looking ahead to who might be in up the big awards at the baftas. it has been a very wet night. there is a lot of rain around this morning as well. some good news for the afternoon, looking a lot brighter. it's sunday february 18. good morning to you if you have just joined us. our main story: the family of putin critic alexei navalny have called on russian authorities to release his body, accusing prison bosses of trying to conceal evidence surrounding his death. his team leave the opposition leader was murdered, but russia's foreign ministry has rejected these claims. our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford has this report. ever since the death of alexei navalny, people have been leaving tributes.

but in putin's russia, even laying flowers can be risky, if you're doing it in memory of his biggest opponent. whenever anger or upset have boiled over, police have moved in. hundreds of people have been arrested across the country, dragged away by police who have cleared the streets. this is the russia that alexei navalny and his supporters wanted to change, but three years ago, he was poisoned with a nerve agent, then he was locked up. the last time the politician was seen alive, he was defiantly cheerful. this was him on video link from prison to a court hearing and there were no obvious signs of sickness. inside the arctic prison, he was spending weeks on end in solitary confinement. the authorities say he collapsed suddenly. the cause the cause of his

death is still unknown. and when navalny�*s mother arrived to collect his body, she not find her son. the body of alexei navalny is not there, so alexei's prison just lied to his lawyer and his mother that the body is there and so we don't have any clue where he is now, and what is happening to him, and when it will be given to the family. chanting alexei navalny was a rare voice of dissent in russia where vladimir putin has been crushing political opposition over two decades. the activist could still bring big crowds onto the streets with his campaigns against corruption and against the kremlin. he supporters blame putin for his death because navalny was only in prison for his politics. the russian president is saying nothing, for now, getting on with business as usual.

when navalny was alive, putin never uttered his name. but the flowers speak for his supporters — a quiet tribute to a man who told them to believe in a beautiful russia of the future. harder for them to envisage now than ever. sarah rainsford, bbc news. we will talk more about the reaction to the death of alexei navalny during the course of gatt breakfast this morning. but let's chat chat with the rest of the newshour. we are starting now with russia, a russian story. it is right, roger. it is the fact that us president bryden has stepped up because for a military aid package for ukraine after russian forces captured a town. is at washington's in action had left ukraine's troops without enough ammunition. our reporter simonjones has this report. withdrawal. ukrainian soldiers forced to retreat from avdiivka,

a key town in the east of ukraine. although they are still fighting, a shortage of supplies and ammunition has been blamed for giving russia one of its biggest military victories for months. the white house is warning the stakes for ukraine and for the entire world remain high. president biden is calling on american politicians to pass the latest package of military aid for kyiv, blocked by common progress. the ukrainian people fought so bravely, and put so much on the line and the idea that now, running out of ammunition, we walk away, i find it absurd and ifind it and unethical, i find itjust contrary to everything we are as a country. so i will fight to get them the ammunition they need. the ukrainian president was in munich where senior defence officials and world leaders have been gathering a week before the two—year anniversary of russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine. president zelensky repeated his appealfor more weapons to avoid what he called

a catastrophic situation in europe. translation: we are very much counting on this positive - decision of congress. for us, this package is vital. we are not considering alternatives today because we count on the united states as our strategic partner, as russian flags are raised in the centre of avdiivka, president putin has congratulated the russian military on what he called an important victory. but the conflict goes on. to the west of the town, ukrainian troops have been digging trenches to reinforce their defensive lines. the sound of war is never far away. ukraine insists its people have the spirit to win but it knows it needs international help to force russia to retreat. simon jones, bbc news.

a tiny nation of dramatic extremes... keep it going. hold on. yee—hoo! ..and unique wildlife. we know each and every one of them. it's just like family. but it's been through decades of struggle, from a brutal civil war... this became one of the most heavily mined areas in the world. loud explosion ooh. ..to one of the greatest natural disasters of our time. and now, it's recovering from its worst—ever economic crisis. i first came here in the year 2000, and i was struck by the laidback island mentality. but sri lanka's been through a lot since then, and i want to find out how it's changed. in this first leg of myjourney...

the coral is gone. we destroyed the sea and the sea destroyed us. ..i take to the seas, joining a mission to repair the coastline. you can buy anything here. and i dive into the heart of its capital city. everybody that we would expect to be in sri lanka is right here. look at it. it's packed, it's crowded, it's got a really old—world feel about it. i'm here at a crucial stage for sri lanka as the island aims to bounce back yet again. this is the west coast of sri lanka, under two hours' drive from the capital city, colombo. i want to start my adventure with a different perspective. a bird's—eye view, in fact. that, i believe...

..is a flying machine. they call it a paramotor, and that is how i'm going to see the coastline right now. 0k. here we go. yeah. looking forward to it. thank you. i can't believe i'm actually going to do this. motor whirs here we go! whoa! what a feeling! can not beat this! absolutely beautiful! this perspective is unbeatable. i thought, as a child, we'd all be flying like this every day as a matter of course.

now, my dream's come true. sri lanka has around 1,800km of coastline. i can see the coral reef below. coral reef, which is vital for protecting the coastline from storms and erosion. it's quite a strong wind, but it's fantastic. so much fun. whoa! swinging round... ..and he—e—e—e—re we go! very nice. bumpyish... ..but safe landing. he laughs fantastic. wow, you live for these moments. absolutely brilliant. and what a view. but the reality is, in many places, this coast has been badly damaged.

the reason is coral mining. that's the practice of breaking and harvesting coral in order to produce lime for the construction industry. well, hello. hi, hi. kushil gunasekera is the founder of a charity that trains young adults to become divers who can restore the seabed. there were coral miners right across this entire area and that was what they did for generations. so it's their livelihood. when the corals are broken, the very colourful fish, you know, wasn't around. the biodiversity, you know, it gets affected, right. but nobody, no authority could ever, you know, put a stop to it because it's been very established for so long. but then nature, you know, took its course and said enough is enough.

sri lanka was one of the countries worst affected by the tsunami that hit on boxing day in 2004. it's estimated that more than 35,000 people lost their lives nationwide, and the villages around here were hit hard. when the tsunami struck, there was no break point or resistance. and subsequent research showed that wherever there was no coral that the waters swept about a kilometre beyond. so the coral was gone. we destroyed the sea and the sea destroyed us. today, kushil�*s aim is to help restore the reef by regrowing it in what's called a coral nursery. so those two guys have just gone down and they're going to pick up tiny fragments of coral and they're going to plant that

into a reef ball on the seabed. the baby corals have been planted on metal structures that help them survive. now, the ones that have flourished the most can be collected and moved to their permanent homes. so here we have the little fragments of coral which this diver has collected from the seabed. the divers use a special cement to attach the coral to reef balls. these form an artificial reef that will help protect the coastline and restore marine life. so far, the team has planted 38 reef balls. and they are thriving. i can really tell the sense of mission that these guys have got about what they're doing.

it's going to take time, it's a long, long process, but every single thing they do, every little tiny bit of coral they plant, is going to help restabilize and recover the coastline. after the tsunami, as aid money came into the country, kushil was able to set up projects across sri lanka. from my younger days, i've been dreaming of trying to bridge this gap that exists between the urban and the rural sectors. i respectfully remember everyone who actually perished and, you know, had to sacrifice their lives. but out of that setback, we were able to turn that into a blessing. anoushka is one of more than 500 young adults who graduated from the diving training programme. and for her, it's been life—changing.

it does sound like you've made a huge shift mentally and emotionally since what happened to you as a child. how do you feel about the sea now? what's your relationship with the sea? you cannot underestimate the human

and ecological trauma caused by the tsunami to the sri lankan people. and what is so brilliant about the work being done by kushil, anoushka and all the others here is that it's healing in so many different ways. the impact of the tsunami has continued for the past two decades, and since then, the country has faced further turbulence. in 2022, sri lanka was hit by the worst economic crisis in its history, leading to widespread food, medicine and fuel shortages, and months of protests. horn hoots woman chats with stallholder iiust want— you to sort of taste the cinnamon because it's indigenous

to sri lanka — cinnamon. i've come to the capital city, colombo, the birthplace of british sri lankan actor nimmi harasgama, who's relocated here. there you go. you just smell that. it's nice. isn't that lovely? it's calm now, but nimmi was here when the unrest was at its height. as someone who was there, i can verify that there were peaceful protests from people because they couldn't take it any more. it has been happening for decades. and so it escalated and itjust, it erupted like a volcano here. horn hoots nimmi has brought me to the old part of the city — pettah market. that's one thing that's really special about pettah, it's very multiethnic and there's muslims, there's sinhalese, there's tamils, moors. so it's... everybody that we would expect to be in sri lanka is right here in pettah. why i love this place is, look at it. it's packed, it's crowded, it's got a really old—world feel about it.

and colour, by the way. i'm looking straight ahead there. well, this is where i come. pettah is where i come to buy my material. and that's one thing i love about sri lanka is, growing up my mum used to make me clothes and so that's what i know. so now with my son, i come here and i get him to choose materials and we go to a seamstress. i can't sew. and we get his clothes made and ijust love that. and i would never be able to do that in england. just a quick look. yeah, absolutely. most of the stuff in this shop is cotton, but you get suiting material, you get silks, raw silks, satins. i mean, it's a dream world for me. what else do we have here? those are buttermilk chillies, if you want to try one. they're not spicy. ok. i'm going to be the guinea pig. what did it taste like? oh, it's nice. mm. oh! aftertaste. yea h! whoa. it's quite... whoa! it's salty and quite spicy in your mouth. hits right the back of your throat. the consequences of the economic crisis hit markets like this one badly.

what about the creative community here? how much have they reacted to the political situation? throughout the decades of conflict within our communities, the theatre community, the film community, have always reacted. it's not a big flash industry like hollywood or bollywood. we do it here from pure passion and drive. so what the person on the street is feeling, you're feeling, too. i feel that there should be a change, there should be a difference that's made by people in power. the protests led to the president resigning. and although the road to recovery is going to be long, i can sense the determination of people like nimmi to overcome the trials of the recent past. i always think of this country as my home. and sri lanka, i feel, with all its good and bad and ugly, is still where i'm from.

peacock cries one thing that's clear when you travel through sri lanka is just how green it is. there are 26 national parks covering nearly a tenth of the country. this is yala, sri lanka's premier national park, in the southeast of the island. it's a fantastic showcase for this country's incredible biodiversity. animal calls jackals are just some of the animals that live here. i've come to catch a glimpse, if possible, of sri lanka's most famous resident. the elephant is a really integral and central part

of sri lankan culture. dr fernando is an elephant expert. people in sri lanka love elephants. they are very close to their hearts. but the sad fact is more elephants are killed here than anywhere else in the world. and that is due to conflict with humans. so someone has told us thatjust around here, they've spotted an elephant or two. and there it is, straight ahead of us. look. it's an amazing, amazing sight. but it's beautiful to see. so what can you tell about this elephant? so he's the elephant that we see coming into the park for a couple of months a year. the rest of the time,

he's normal home range. he's probably somewhere outside the park or in a far away area of the park. elephants are such unique animals. i don't think today there's any culture anywhere in this world where a little kid doesn't know what an elephant is. this is a gift that just keeps giving. everywhere we go now, suddenly there are elephants. here we have a mother and calf. dr fernando has studied this herd for almost 15 years. we know each and every one of them, we know their life histories. and so it's just like family. so romi was born in 2004. so now she's 19 years old. and this is her first calf. and he's now six years old.

most sri lankan elephants don't have tusks, so they're not targeted by poachers. even so, elephants here are in trouble. we have basically dedicated our lives to conservation of elephants. i think we have made some progress. still, there's a lot, a lot to be done. dr fernando's goal is simple — to help people and elephants live peacefully together. elephants are greatly attracted to crops. so if you cultivate in an area with elephants, they're going to come in, raid the crops. and of course, the farmers don't want that. so that's where all the conflict arises. just outside of the national park, dr fernando shows me the destruction that elephants are capable of.

this farm has been very badly damaged by elephants. by elephants, yeah. yeah. hello. can you explain to us what's happened here? dr fernando translates this is their entire crop, essentially. yeah. this is their entire crop, essentially. yeah. really? that's really terrible. that's really sad. they broke the wall here. he says there's one big male who just comes and breaks the house. how did you feel when you're sitting up there? he was just sitting up there because it is in the night,

he can't really see anything. he can see the noise of the elephants. they are breaking things, eating. so he was helpless just sitting there. was he scared for his own life? if he'd come down would he have been killed? yes. he would have been killed if he'd come down. very likely. the elephants would think that he's threatening them. yeah. so, i mean, it's an elephant. i mean, you don't get that close to an elephant. sadly, both human and elephant deaths are on the rise. according to the latest figures, 145 people and 433 elephants lost their lives injust 12 months. it is a bad time, but it keeps getting worse. the elephants get used to conflict and then they tolerate high levels of conflict. one solution that sri lanka has

trialled is building almost 5,000 kilometres of fencing to keep elephants within specific areas such as national parks. problem is, these animals don't stay where humans want them to. you can see that the fence is broken. elephant habitat and elephant habitat. so this fence is in the wrong place. we are trying to change how human—elephant conflict mitigation is done. up the road, there's a temporary fence that the farmers have assembled with dr fernando's guidance. this by the field fence, so it's put up only for the period that is three and a half months that they are cultivating the paddy. which is rice, by the way. rice, yes. these are the more effective of the fencing that's used? so as you see, the fence goes just on the perimeter of the paddock. so it basically protects what needs protection. which is why the policy of protecting people and their crops is more effective than keeping

elephants in once small space. the farmers are protecting themselves, and that works. there are no winners in the human—elephant conflict, but there are ways to make co—existing easier. as we're driving back to base, i'm reminded of the sheer grandeur of these animals. oh, my goodness. there it is. yeah. so these actually are female. and there's a young one behind her. i feel quite humbled in the sense to be in the company of, or quite near one. these are animals whose natural habitat has been restricted and restricted over time, and they're just doing what they have to do, which is to look for food for their young, for themselves to survive. and survival is getting harderfor them.

there's supposed to be another one further up. it's great. you've got scouts on the motorbikes. whispers there's actually a herd of seven just here as well. it's. . . it's amazing. i've never been as close to an elephant in the wild before. actually, we are very privileged to have such a lot of elephants in this country with such a high density of people. and i think that's something very special in sri lanka. something to be proud of. something to be proud of and something that we have to work hard for it to remain so. but i think that can be done. you ready to go? yee—woo—hoo! i get out of my comfort zone in the river version of a washing machine. whoa!

the adrenaline, it is going, let me tell you. we did it! and ifind out how sri lanka's hoping to be free of land mines by 2028. loud explosions good morning. welcome to breakfast with luxmy gopal and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: supporters of the russian opposition leader alexei navalny accuse moscow of trying to conceal evidence about his death after his family are unable to recover his body. after setbacks for ukraine

in the war against russia, president biden vows to make sure a new package of military support is delivered to kyiv. good morning. in sport, twists and turns in the premier league title race: frustration for pep guardiola and for erling haaland as manchester city drops points at home to chelsea. this british film industry's big night tonight. looking ahead to who might be in up the big awards at the baftas. it has been a very wet night. there is a lot of rain around this morning as well. some good news for the afternoon, looking a lot brighter. it's sunday february 18. our main story on breakfast this morning. the family of putin critic alexei navalny have called on russian authorities to release his body, accusing prison bosses of trying to conceal evidence surrounding his death.

his team believes the opposition leader was murdered, but russia's foreign ministry has rejected these claims. our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford has this report. ever since the death of alexei navalny, people have been leaving tributes. but in putin's russia, even laying flowers can be risky, if you're doing it in memory of his biggest opponent. whenever anger or upset have boiled over, police have moved in. hundreds of people have been arrested across the country, dragged away by police who have cleared the streets. this is the russia that alexei navalny and his supporters wanted to change, but three years ago, he was poisoned with a nerve agent, then he was locked up. the last time the politician was seen alive, he was defiantly cheerful. this was him on video link from prison to a court hearing and there were no obvious signs of sickness. but inside his arctic prison,

he was spending weeks on end in solitary confinement. the authorities say he collapsed suddenly. the cause of his death is still unknown. and when navalny�*s mother arrived to collect his body, she not find her son. the body of alexei navalny is not there, so alexei's prison just lied to his lawyer and his mother that the body is there and so we don't have any clue where he is now, and what is happening to him, and when it will be given to the family. chanting alexei navalny was a rare voice of dissent in russia where vladimir putin has been crushing political opposition over two decades. the activist could still bring big crowds onto the streets with his campaigns against corruption and against the kremlin. his supporters blame putin for his death because navalny was only in prison

for his politics. russia's president is saying nothing for now, getting on with business as usual. when navalny was alive, putin never uttered his name. but the flowers speak for his supporters — a quiet tribute to a man who told them to believe in a beautiful russia of the future. harder for them to envisage now than ever. that was sarah rainsford reporting. she joins us now live. that was sarah rainsford reporting. shejoins us now live. good morning. thank you forjoining us this morning. the reaction continues in russia and around the world, but ultimately, president putin as you said in your report never even uttered his name while he was alive, unlikely to do so now you would suspect. unlikely to do so now you would susect. ~ unlikely to do so now you would susect.~ _ unlikely to do so now you would susect. , , suspect. well, possibly, yes. i mean, suspect. well, possibly, yes. i mean. perhaps _ suspect. well, possibly, yes. i mean, perhaps if— suspect. well, possibly, yes. i mean, perhaps if he _ suspect. well, possibly, yes. i mean, perhaps if he is - suspect. well, possibly, yes. i mean, perhaps if he is asked i mean, perhaps if he is asked directly about him, that he might give some kind of comment, but in

the past he is always shrugged him off, acting as if he doesn't exist. in the meantime, alexei navalny�*s family and supporters still don't have the body in order to bury and in order also to try to establish for themselves why he might have died. at the moment, all they have is a piece of paper that says he went for a walk in his prison colony, he collapsed and died within a matter of minutes. medics could not resist sin —— resuscitate him. they don't have an official cause of death, and even when investigators inside russia provided a cause of death, there was absolutely no way his family and friends and political supporters will accept that because of course he is a man who survived an assassination attempt and there is absolutely no trust for his team —— from his team. there are shades of 2020 when he was poisoned and it officials refused to allow them to

take into jelly for treatment. officials refused to allow them to take intojelly for treatment. it officials refused to allow them to take into jelly for treatment. it is similar now and that his family are not getting access to his body after he died. they are extremely suspicious, they have made all sorts of allegations but they say they need the body to be handed over to the family as a matter of immediate urgency. the family as a matter of immediate urten . . ~' the family as a matter of immediate urten . ., ~ i. the family as a matter of immediate urten . ., ~ y the family as a matter of immediate urten . ., y . urgency. thank you very much indeed for the talking — urgency. thank you very much indeed for the talking to _ urgency. thank you very much indeed for the talking to us. _ urgency. thank you very much indeed for the talking to us. sarah _ for the talking to us. sarah rainsford talking to us on the death and continuing reaction to the death of alexei navalny. let's talk about the rest of the new starting with news of a consequence to rush as well perhaps. that is right. present died and has stepped up calls for the us congress to buzz a huge —— president biden. he said washington's in action had left ukraine's troops without enough ammunition. our reporter simon jones explains. withdrawal. ukrainian soldiers forced to retreat from avdiivka, a key town in the east of ukraine.

although they are still fighting, a shortage of supplies and ammunition has been blamed for giving russia one of its biggest military victories for months. the white house is warning the stakes for ukraine and for the entire world remain high. president biden is calling on american politicians to pass the latest package of military aid for kyiv, blocked by common progress. look, the ukrainian people fought so bravely and heroically, they put so much on the line, and the idea that now, running out of ammunition, we walk away, i find it absurd and ifind it and unethical, i find itjust contrary to everything we are as a country. so i'm going to fight to get them the ammunition they need. the ukrainian president was in munich where senior defence officials and world leaders have been gathering a week before the two—year anniversary of russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine.

president zelensky repeated his appeal for more weapons to avoid what he called a catastrophic situation in europe. translation: we are very much counting on this positive - decision of congress. for us, this package is vital. we are not considering alternatives today because we count on the united states as our strategic partner, and that it will remain a strategic partner. as russian flags are raised in the centre of avdiivka, president putin has congratulated the russian military on what he called an important victory. but the conflict goes on. to the west of the town, ukrainian troops have been digging trenches to reinforce their defensive lines. the sound of war is never far away. ukraine insists its people have the spirit to win but it knows it needs international help to force russia to retreat. simon jones, bbc news.

you saw in that report president zelensky urging allies not to abandon ukraine at munich's security conference. frank gardner is there for us today. good morning. tell us what the mood is like there. yes. what the mood is like there. yes, the mood is _ what the mood is like there. yes, the mood is pretty _ what the mood is like there. ies the mood is pretty worried, really. i wouldn't quite call it sombre, but the situation in ukraine is critical. i know it is a cliche that every year we are told this year will be the critical year, but it is very different from this time last year when there was a lot of optimism about ukraine's coming summer offensive was not that of course fizzled out and everything has changed. ukraine is now the defensive. yesterday president zelensky walked past with his entourage around ten feet from where i stand now and his face was set grim because his message is grim, and that is that europe, notjust

ukraine, but europe faces catastrophe if it doesn't come, or the west doesn't come to the help of ukraine in its hour of need. the battles have become really a battle of artillery and it is a battle of numbers. russia has got the numbers. ukraine hasn't. we are talking about front—line units down to the last two rounds of shells a day. they simply cannot fend off the russian long—range artillery, and the waves of mobilised troops that russia is sending against those ukrainian lines. now, sitting in washington is this great big pile of money, this $60 billion, around £50 billion sterling, of military aid that the white house wants to give ukraine which would allow it to fund all of these defences that it needs, but it is being held up primarily by donald trump's supporters, who don't want this money to go to ukraine. they

wanted to go to other things like protecting america's southern border, and there is real frustration i think here amongst people i have spoken to, notjust ukrainians, but theirallies people i have spoken to, notjust ukrainians, but their allies in the west in nato that they can't get this money through. the nato secretary general, i had a quick chat with him yesterday, he has warned that if president putin is able to prevail in ukraine, it sends able to prevail in ukraine, it sends a message that force winds and it will send a message to china about taiwan, and that is dangerous, that china has its sights set on swallowing up taiwan. china has its sights set on swallowin: u- taiwan. ., ~' swallowing up taiwan. frank gardner live at the munich _ swallowing up taiwan. frank gardner live at the munich security _ live at the munich security conference for us. thank you. let's stick with ukraine. ukrainians who sought sanctuary in the uk after russia's invasion will be able to apply for an 18—month visa extension, that's under a new scheme. nearly 300,000 ukrainians have been granted three—year visas since the war started two years ago. the home office says they will

now be able to apply to stay until september 2026. one person has been charged with assisting illegal entry into the uk after a number of migrants were found in the back of a lorry at newhaven ferry port in east sussex. six people were taken to hospital after the vehicle was stopped yesterday morning. another person was arrested by police on suspicion of illegally entering the country. the sovereignty of the falkland islands won't be up for discussion as long as they want to remain a british territory. that is not lord cameron has said. the foreign secretary is preparing to make the first visit there by a cabinet minister since 2016. against a backdrop of calls to argentina for the islands to be handed over. stars of the film world are gearing up for the bafta film awards this evening.

i might change the data because it is turning brighter. that rain is swiftly clearing away. it might drag its heels a little bit in parts of southeastern britain. here is the weather in front. this waving pattern in the cloud is actually visible here and the rain pattern, this big lump of rain here. that is slow to clear. elsewhere, think by the time we get to the second half of the morning, sunny in the early afternoon. the cloud may come over, produce a brief shower, but it is looking final hole. 12, 13 or 14 degrees. tonight, clear skies for a time before the next weather fronts sweeps in. this coming night is going to be a brief spell of rain. early in the morning it will be somewhere here. not cold tomorrow morning, monday. seven degrees in the south, six in the north, so not

much difference. here is the weather front slashing its way through and then higher pressure builds across then higher pressure builds across the uk, meaning the skies are clear, the uk, meaning the skies are clear, the winds are lighter, it is pleasant out there and the temperatures will be between ten or 11 in scotland and 12 to 14 across the rest of the uk. i think all in all, monday is looking fine. on the whole, the week ahead is looking unsettled because we will see frequent weather systems sweet in of the atlantic. here is another weather front and you can see they are sometimes very coherent, a lump of rain here or there, sunshine in between. we call it a mixed bag. on wednesday and more substantial area of rain sweeps across the country. it will be quite wet early on wednesday and then come the afternoon on wednesday the bulk of that rain clears away towards the east, and again, we get some sunshine. if you look at the wind arrows, they are still generally

coming in from the west, southwest, so that means that values still remain above the average for the time of year. the mild pushes away towards the east of the continent and get a shot of i wouldn't say colder air, and get a shot of i wouldn't say colderair, but something and get a shot of i wouldn't say colder air, but something closer to the average for the time of year. often on these weather icons you can see throughout the week we have got some rain so it is an unsettled picture, bit of sunshine squeezed in between a towards the end of the week perhaps a bit brighter and the temperatures easing to where they should be at this time of year. back to you. thank you. very dry. very dry, thomas. there are 240 children in the uk waiting an organ transplant. children in the uk waiting an organ translant. ., , ., ., �* children in the uk waiting an organ translant. ., ., �* , children in the uk waiting an organ translant. ., , ., ., �* transplant. four -year-old eb is one of them being _ transplant. four -year-old eb is one of them being kept _ transplant. four -year-old eb is one of them being kept alive _ transplant. four -year-old eb is one of them being kept alive by - of them being kept alive by a machine but herfamily of them being kept alive by a machine but her family are of them being kept alive by a machine but herfamily are not of them being kept alive by a machine but her family are not sure how long she will be waiting because there is a shortage of organ donors. in so many ways eb isjust like

how it all works. 0n the edge of barcelona, researchers are working on an ambitious project that could change the future of health care, centred around the body's most crucial organ. thanks to advances in science and technology, our understanding of the human heart is getting better and better, so much so, that we can create digital copies of it. but as i'm about to find out, that involves some serious computer power. this is the home of europe's latest supercomputer. we've been invited in right as it's being switched on. here we go. so this is the supercomputer. this is marenostrum 5, the new system being installed in barcelona. so it's more than 7,000 nodes. to put that in context, your personal computer or laptop would usually count as one node. and every cabin of this, it's having 102 discs, every one 18 terabytes.

so the total raw capacity is 350 petabytes. one of the characteristics of the system is the weight. you want to try to push it? oh, it is — it's heavy. it's heavy, huh? very heavy, yeah. and expensive. ifeel like i'm in a china shop trying not to break anything. so all the supercomputer is connected by a high—speed network. we have built these glass tiles, so you can see all the infrastructure. yeah. all of this computing power is generating a lot of heat. so now, this is the back part, where all the cables are coming through from the basement. and this is the heat. it hits you. you cannot feel on the tv. there are pipes carrying cold water to cool it all down. the hot water that comes out is used to heat the rest of the building.

the supercomputer is able to contribute to research in many different fields at the same time, from engineering to predicting climate change. but researchers here are also using it to study the human body and do medical tests virtually. today, we can model a beating heart, so we can model the physiology, the mechanical contraction of the tissue, of the muscle and also the fluid, the blood mechanics, inside the ventricles and atria and vessels. and if you kind of peel back the skin, as it were, of the virtual heart, it's basically lots of numbers and maths and calculations. nature can be interpreted using mathematics. we describe your heart with equations in a mathematical model. and then this mathematical model is translated to a computer program.

the heating hearts created are not generic. they can be based on an individual�*s data and used to determine if different drugs or treatments will actually work for that person. in a very similar way that in a real clinical trial in which you test a therapy on a cohort of people, we can do the same, but on a cohort of virtual hearts. by exploring different pathways for innovation, they can have better products — faster, cheaper and more sophisticated — that can come finally to the patient. it's estimated it would take 57 billion years for a human to attempt the calculations needed to create a beating heart. the supercomputer can do it injust nine hours. this latest update in the tech will help scientists delve even further into health care,

but that requires medical staff and patients to trust the technology. the team here aren't just going to stop at hearts. they'd like to create a full replica of a human, but with all the different movements and contractions that happen internally that we don't even think about, there's still a long way to go before that's possible. ammie: photography — the art of freezing moments in time. the history of photography is the history of the technology that made it possible. and the evolution of the camera is, for the very first time, focusing its gaze backwards, not forwards. so, let's get into it. we started with black—and—white portraits that required people to channel their inner statue, holding a pose for an eternity. now, don't anybody move!

is that gun loaded, by the way? gun cocks as time marched forward, so did the evolution of photography and pictures — enter the flashbulb era, taking a photo sounded like a small, sharp pop. and it was flashy, just like this outfit. flashbulbs pop flip forward to a smaller, faster camera. cameras that could capture for all time... here it comes! ..a short moment, a memory. enter the vibrant era of the polaroid, leading the way with instant photography, a limited number of chances to capture the moments as they went by. then came the digital age where we all became photographers. no longer for the few who could afford expensive kit and had the patience to wait. 0ur pocket—sized phone studios meet demands instantaneously, and with the advent of digital manipulation and filters, you can get... mm...close to perfection every time. suddenly, everyone became a selfie connoisseur.

this looks quite nice, quite strong. but what about waiting? what about those magical minutes of anticipation? 0k... that's the first time i take a picture of a dog. is it? oh, well, let's hope it's a good one. when the promise of what might have been captured was more satisfying than mindlessly tapping a phone screen. a new era in photography begins. polaroid was the 06 of instant photography. it was wildly successful at its peak in the 19705 with millions of sales. it was simple. it was all plastic. it was fab. you'd snap a photo, wait for the magic to happen and... chimes ting ..hard copies of memories. you know how i got this car? it knocked over your garbage can. they'vejust made a new addition to their line. this is the polaroid i—2 instant camera. what they are pitching is a blend of nostalgia with the cutting—edge tech of today — analogue charm with digital finesse, a sleek new design houses features like improved optics, autofocus and bluetooth connectivity.

well, that's enough about what it can do. let's go see how it actually performs. and to help out, i've invited along my colleague, liv. we're going to have a bit of an instant v digital comparison, where i'll be papping on the polaroid and she'll be snapping on a phone. 0k, 0k! all right, let's square it. unfortunately, i had a false start — two, in fact, which isn't the best when you've only got eight pictures per pack to play with. i mean, i think i've already taken about five... ..but it was third time lucky... ooh! and here it is... we need to wait a few minutes. ok, i'll reply to some emails. 0k. yep, tell me when you're ready. a few minutes later, not a bad result from my instant pic, but i did waste two other pictures just getting there. all right, let me just dial in some settings first. needs. . . half an hour or so? camera whirs

0h... ugh, again? this time, the picture gotjammed and i had to take yet another one to get this result. decent in comparison. however, i could feel the cost per picture racking up. i've been able to take that many photos in a few seconds and you can just do that with a smartphone. you can't necessarily do that with that. it takes a bit of time to develop, to get it set up, and then, even then, you don't really know what you're going to get. groans that not knowing and uncertainty carried on to our next photo op. it took me two attempts to figure out the correct settings to capture this shot of the bicycle. whilst liv�*s phone pics were quick, budget—friendly and a breeze to edit. the polaroid camera never crashed the photo shoot with unexpected interruptions... 0h, is that...? phone buzzes 0h, who's calling you? phone continues buzzing sorry, let me put that away. well, at least i would never get a call on this thing! feeling something in your hands gives it a weight, the promise

of a premium product, and it's one of a kind. but in a world where photography is now so cheap, printing has become a luxury. that is the challenge now facing polaroid — it may well mean that they cannot replay the dizzying success of their '70s heyday. it's remarkable what you can do. and, obviously, you enjoy doing this, do you? oh, yeah, yeah. but they're choosing to believe in the promise of anticipation and hope their customers do likewise. a company can't survive on charm alone, so will the picture that emerges be a happy one? for a concrete answer, like the polaroid's customers, we'll have to wait. that was ammie sekhon. that's really interesting, isn't it? yes, and fascinating how instant cameras, polaroids, other brands as well, have really got popular again. mm—hm, mm—hm. i guess it's one extreme or the other. you've either got loads of photos on your phone that you never print, or people want things straight away. that's true! yes, that instant print. well, listen, that's all we've got time for for this week.

the full show can be found on iplayer. thanks for watching. we will see you next time. bye!

good morning. welcome to breakfast with luxmy gopal and rogerjohnson. 0ur headlines today... supporters of the russian opposition leader alexei navalny accuse moscow of trying to conceal evidence about his death after his family are unable to recover his body.

after setbacks for ukraine in the war against russia, president biden vows to make sure a new package of military support is delivered. we discuss the challenges for farmers facing poor mental health, and a new scheme to help them. in sport, twists and turns in the premier league title race. frustration for pep guardiola and for erling haaland as manchester city drop points at home to chelsea. it has been a very wet night. there is a lot of rain around this morning as well. some good news for the afternoon, looking a lot brighter. it's sunday, february 18th. our main story: the family of putin critic alexei navalny have called on russian authorities to release his body, accusing prison bosses of trying to conceal evidence surrounding his death.

his team believe the opposition leader was murdered, but russia's foreign ministry has rejected these claims. 0ur eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford has this report. ever since the death of alexei navalny, people have been leaving tributes. but in putin's russia, even laying flowers can be risky, if you're doing it in memory of his biggest opponent. whenever anger or upset have boiled over, police have moved in. hundreds of people have been arrested across the country, dragged away by police who have cleared the streets. this is the russia that alexei navalny and his supporters wanted to change, but three years ago, he was poisoned with a nerve agent, then he was locked up. the last time the politician was seen alive, he was defiantly cheerful. this was him on video link from prison to a court hearing and there were no obvious

signs of sickness. but inside his arctic prison, he was spending weeks on end in solitary confinement. the authorities say he collapsed suddenly. the cause of his death is still unknown. and when navalny�*s mother arrived to collect his body, she could not find her son. the body of alexei is not there, so alexei's prison just lied to his lawyer and his mother that the body is there and so we don't have any clue where he is now, and what is happening to him, and when it will be given to the family. chanting alexei navalny was a rare voice of dissent in russia where vladimir putin has been crushing political opposition over two decades. the activist could still bring big crowds onto the streets with his campaigns against corruption and against the kremlin. he supporters blame putin for his death because navalny was only

in prison for his politics. the russian president is saying nothing, for now, getting on with business as usual. when navalny was alive, putin never uttered his name. but the flowers speak for his supporters — a quiet tribute to a man who told them to believe in a beautiful russia of the future. harder for them to envisage now than ever. sarah rainsford, bbc news. sarahjoins us sarah joins us now. sarahjoins us now. good morning and thank you forjoining us. this reaction, both in russia and further afield to the death of alexei navalny, is it likely to have any impact whatsoever on president putin and the kremlin? i don't think so. we have heard nothing from vladimir putin himself. as i mentioned in my reports, he has a long history of shrugging off all

mention of his chief rival until he was killed, until he died, sorry, alexei navalny. he basically treated him as a political nobody and never mentioned his name. russian officials have shrugged off as well all of the international reaction. in fact, they have called it rapid, that was the words of vladimir putin 's spokesperson. —— ravid. 0f 's spokesperson. —— ravid. of course, alexei navalny was imprisoned because of his politics, there was no other reason for locking him up. he was in prison because he was the loudest voice of dissent and challenge to vladimir putin, and it is in a russian prison that he has died. that's why there are 70 questions over the course of his death. and that's why navalny 's supporters and families are pushing so hard to get access to his body, and why they are so worried that it is taking so long to get that

access. alexei navalny 's mother has travelled all the way up into the arctic. she got the official confirmation of her son 's death but has not been given his body and has been given a run around up in the arctic, looking from the morgue to the prison and to the investigative committee up there, trying to find answers and trying to find her some 's body. and there is, of course, a huge amount of distrust between navalny 's team, his supporters and family, and the russian authorities so it is a complicated and fraught situation. ,,., ., ., ,, so it is a complicated and fraught situation. ., ., ,, , ., russia 's war on ukraine, and president biden has stepped up calls for the us congress to pass a huge package of military aid for ukraine

so i'm going to fight to get them the ammunition they need. the ukrainian president was in munich where senior defence officials and world leaders have been gathering a week before the two—year anniversary of russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine. president zelensky repeated his appealfor more weapons to avoid what he called a catastrophic situation in europe. translation: we are very much counting on this positive - decision of congress. for us, this package is vital. we are not considering alternatives today because we count on the united states as our strategic partner, and that it will remain a strategic partner. as russian flags are raised in the centre of avdiivka, president putin has congratulated the russian military on what he called an important victory. but the conflict goes on.

of this extraordinary thing. i mean, it feels like an honour, for sure! it feels like a very privileged position to be in, but without wondering if you won one or not! i don't know if we can be trusted with such a weapon. oppenheimer, the story of the development of the atomic bomb, is favourite to win best picture, with an unstoppable momentum during the awards season, and the success at box office means film fans may be more invested in watching the bafta ceremony, at a time when audiences have been trending downwards. oppenheimer has a favourite for the best actor, cillian murphy, but facing strong opposition from paul giamatti in the film the holdovers. i can't fail this class. i truly believe that you can. good evening. best actress is a little more open. emma stone is favourite for poor things, the story of an emotional awakening for a woman.

what do you keep doing that for? the man over there repeatedly blinks at me. i blink back to be polite. but the widespread acclaim for margot robbie's barbie in the year's biggest movie means her chances of winning cannot be ignored. neither can sandra huller�*s performance as a murder suspect in anatomy of a fall. you come in here with your opinion and you tell me who someone was and what we were going through. i am a buyerfor an online brand that you wouldn't have heard of. and bafta has sometimes gone to lesser—known british talent above hollywood a—listers, which could be good news for vivian apara, nominated for rye lane. do you know how much they want to pay me to be a bottom—level costumes assistant? not a lot. it is among the ten movies fighting it out for outstanding british film.

skies but scattered their weather clad. this is the clearance that eventually will be over us, and this is the satellite picture overnight. here is the radar. this is in the last two or three hours. look at these really heavy pulses of rain moving per through parts of wales and southern england. very heavy around manchester. to the north of that, just a scattering of showers but the bulk of the rain has been in the south. that rain dragged its heels through the morning, around parts of east anglia and the south—east, but the by the time we get to lunchtime it should be pretty much dry everywhere. they could be some showers around so not completely dry. 1a abbess today, may be 15 in one or two spots. this evening should be clear. overnight, this weaker weather front sweeps across the country. they will still be heavy bursts of rain for a time but it won't last long. that rain into monday morning. six or seven

celsius first thing tomorrow. it is that weather front. these pressure lines, isobars, when you see them going upwards like a hill, that means that the winds are dying down and the weather is settling down and the skies are clearing. the second half of tomorrow is looking decent and pleasant, ithink. the half of tomorrow is looking decent and pleasant, i think. the sun is getting a little bit stronger now and spring may not be that far away. though the forecast for tuesday, south—westerly winds so a mild direction. anything that comes out of the west, south—west, usually is mild. temperatures in double figures north and south more or less, but with some rain. overall, the week is looking mild, but unsettled. these weather fronts and low pressures will be sweeping across the country. mid week we are in for another dollop of rain. here it is as it sweeps right across the uk. the isobars are quite tight which means

strong winds. but still it will be relatively mild. double figures pretty much across the board again. is it going to stay mild? are we going to get any colder weather? the milder weather does tend to waft away towards the east, and then a shot of cold air from the north arrives. i say colder, compared to what we have got right now. if we look at friday, we are down to single figures across most of the uk, which is where we really should be this time of the year. the outlook is unsettled, mild at the moment, and then a slight drop in temperature and may be something brighter in that fresh air. a recent survey by the farm safety foundation has found that 94% of farmers rank poor mental health is the biggest issue. a family from

there is so much pressure. it is big numbers. you have got to work in big numbers. you have got to work in big numbers and the difficult macro difference is pennies. if you are to be or 3p more each litre that could be or 3p more each litre that could be the difference between going bust, breaking even or even making a one profit. there are such big pressures. we put on our shoulders. i apologise for interrupting, some of that. i on people like us. we want our cheap milk in the supermarket.— want our cheap milk in the supermarket. want our cheap milk in the su iermarket. , , ., ,, supermarket. yes, if you saw milk for £1 or £1.20 — supermarket. yes, if you saw milk for £1 or £1.20 you _ supermarket. yes, if you saw milk for £1 or £1.20 you would - supermarket. yes, if you saw milk for £1 or £1.20 you would properly | for £1 or £1.20 you would properly pick up the £1. sometimes a 10p difference should go to the farmer, and if it did they could make the world of difference. we love ourjob and if we work 15 hours a day it would be amazing, but if you knew you were just going to break even stop breaking even is not much to ask for, just to make a little bit of money so they can invest again. that would take the pressure off.

and you can't have that and super cheap food. you have to have one of the other. i don't think anyone would really flinch at paying an extra 10p for a pint of milk. obviously there will be cheap stuff coming in from abroad, but i would like to see, i think we would all like to see, i think we would all like to see it have the uk badge on it, and people know what that means. and the importance of having low—cost and very straightforward ways of helping farmers with their mental health.— mental health. yes. that's the important _ mental health. yes. that's the important thing. _ mental health. yes. that's the important thing. mental - mental health. yes. that's the | important thing. mental health mental health. yes. that's the - important thing. mental health for farmers, make sure... i think one farmers, make sure... i think one farmer every week, unfortunately was committing suicide, which is terrible. if we could halve that or eradicated, that would be amazing. so when you go back to the farm now, what is it? , i' ., , _ so when you go back to the farm now, what is it? i i' . , _ . ., what is it? milking? nappy changing? a bit of everything. _ what is it? milking? nappy changing? a bit of everything. he _ what is it? milking? nappy changing? a bit of everything. he was _ what is it? milking? nappy changing? a bit of everything. he was up - what is it? milking? nappy changing? a bit of everything. he was up twice l a bit of everything. he was up twice last night. we try to juggle it. a bit of everything. he was up twice

retreat. that is one of the issues being discussed by world leaders at the munich security conference. frank gardner is there for us this morning. he has been following developments at the conference over the last few days including comments overnight regarding the death of alexei navalny from president biden. how much has the death of alexei navalny impacted the agenda there? the agenda was set a few days ago so that has not changed and a lot of high—level delegations hear from dozens of countries including the united states vice president. the agenda has not changed with the dispute into sharp relief the perceived threat from moscow and the reaction has been pretty unanimous,

everyone claiming the kremlin. one of the first people i was able to talk to was the mayor of kyiv who said very bluntly it is a clear message for anyone to see if you oppose president vladimir putin and the russian government you will end “p the russian government you will end up either dead or in prison. so it has brought it into focus but i don't think this change the agenda which is very much about how the west supports ukraine and bolsters european security. i west supports ukraine and bolsters european security.— european security. i suppose the uiestion european security. i suppose the question is _ european security. i suppose the question is if— european security. i suppose the question is if everybody - european security. i suppose the question is if everybody agrees l european security. i suppose the i question is if everybody agrees that vladimir putin is to name and he is a threat, is there any consensus on how to deal with the threat he poses? how to deal with the threat he ioses? . , ., , , ., , poses? that is not. the suggestions ranie poses? that is not. the suggestions ran i e from poses? that is not. the suggestions range from doing — poses? that is not. the suggestions range from doing nothing _ poses? that is not. the suggestions range from doing nothing to - poses? that is not. the suggestions range from doing nothing to at - poses? that is not. the suggestions range from doing nothing to at the l range from doing nothing to at the other end of the spectrum there has been some talk of using some of the frozen russian assets. there are hundreds of billions of dollars

worth of russians assets frozen under sanctions since the russian full—scale invasion of ukraine in february 2022. that would have consequences for western multinationals that have their assets still in russia. another possible measure considered would be with the west, particularly the united states, release of more powerful weapons such as the long—range artillery rocket and missile are totally that could reach deep behind russian lines rather than just hitting russian deep behind russian lines rather thanjust hitting russian positions in occupied parts of ukraine. going right deep into russia. that is something americans and the west have been cautious about doing because it could potentially provoke an unpredictable response from president vladimir putin. the short

answer is there is no consensus yet on how to respond to this. that indecision _ on how to respond to this. that indecision in _ on how to respond to this. that indecision in america, - on how to respond to this. that indecision in america, we - on how to respond to this. that indecision in america, we had from president biden yesterday condemning the death of alexei navalny and we have heard him say he is striving to get funding cleared through the political system in the united states blocked by the republicans in order to send more support to ukraine. is that american split and hesitancy emboldening vladimir putin further? , i' , further? yes, i think it is absolutely _ further? yes, i think it is absolutely playing - further? yes, i think it is absolutely playing into i further? yes, i think it is i absolutely playing into what he wants to see. the kremlin sees geopolitical relations are very much a size game, what is good for the west is bad for russia and they think what is bad for russia is good for the west. splits in the west alliance are definitely welcomed in the kremlin. that said, there is

quite a major united states delegation here. we had yesterday vice president kamala harris and there are republicans and democrats fear in kyiv, and the vast majority in favour of getting the supplementary bill through. this is the $60 billion worth of aid to ukraine the ukrainians desperately need because they are losing on the battlefield. russia has taken avdiivka, not usually strategically important town but the first major victory for the forces of president vladimir putin since may last year. president biden has warned there will be more times in ukraine for bill does not get past and they can't get the money and military aid to ukraine. , , ., ,
