at his mansion in bangkok after being released on parole. and it's british film's big night later — oppenhemier has the most bafta nominations but will it win big? let's get more now on our top story and president biden�*s renewed appeal to the us lawmakers to pass a military aid package for ukraine, after russian forces captured the town of avdiivka. the war in ukraine is one of the main issues on the agenda of the munich security conference. our security correspondent frank gardner is in munich with more. good morning from, as you say, the third and final day of this absolutely crucial security conference coming at a very critical time for ukraine and for nato. and a lot of questions about whether the west can give ukraine the support it needs in time to fend off advancing russian forces.

with me here is us congressman hines from connecticut. you're a democrat. you're part of a big us delegation here. what is america's message to this conference? well, it's an interesting question. the message certainly from the highest ranking american here, the vice president, when she spoke, was that we are engaged in a battle, a global battle against authoritarianism and on behalf of democracy. and that is certainly the american position. there's an asterisk on that, of course, right now, because in some ways, the message is being delivered to us by our european allies. and that message is very clear, which is we had better get our act, our political act together in order to pass this supplemental, because there just is no substitute for american support. the supplemental is the bill to give ukraine roughly $60 billion of military aid that it is desperately crying out for. it's being held up by donald trump supporters, being held being held up by a minority, interestingly

enough, of the republican party. but it's a very vocal, very intense minority. and because the political situation in the house is so close with a tiny, tiny majority forthe republicans, i remain optimistic that we'll get it done. but it is a close, close thing right now. how long is it going to take, though? because every day, every week the delay happens. and i think there's a two—week recess going on in washington. ukrainians are dying. that's exactly right. and you know what? president zelensky looked us in the eye yesterday in a meeting and said precisely that, which is that every day is a day in which children are left parentless and that it was it was heart rending to hear. and so you're right. i mean, this certainly does not get done in the next ten days. we also have the budget accord to finish up by the 1st of march. so realistically speaking, this is a sort of second week march kind of thing. and that's a tragedy because the ukrainians are running out of ammunition. a number of figures, including britain's own foreign secretary, lord cameron, have said that it's essential to try and get

the message across to americans that this isn't some kind of charity, that this is europe's fight and the west's fight to try and hold back the forces of autocracy, as it were. and i thinkjens stoltenberg, the nato's secretary general, said that if president putin prevails in ukraine, it sends a message to autocrats that force and might work. and of course, that has repercussions for taiwan. do you think this message is getting through to some people in washington who are resisting this bill? i think this is a moment in which, look, the majority of americans understand what's at stake here. the majority of americans understand that the $60 billion, much of this gets spent inside the united states at our arms manufacturers. but you do have this very vocal minority that is both trumpian. it feeds on a long tradition of american isolationism. and on top of that, of course, you just have this nonsense, this absolute nonsense.

i mean, senatorvance, yesterday, who's here, represents, i think, that view of scepticism around ukraine said, you know, if this is so existential for the europeans, how come they're not emptying their treasuries into ukraine? of course, in some sense they are. the united states is on a per capita basis, number 17 or 18 or 19 in terms of our contributions to ukraine. so there'sjust this level of nonsense on top of what is what is a generations long tradition of isolationism in the united states. which i think is probably going to concern a lot of people here. well, congressman hines, thanks very much for your time. and when you look at this conference compared to other conferences, i have to say that i think the level of concern here is probably pretty profound, because you've not only got russian advances on the battlefield in avdiivka, for example, the town that has just fallen to russian forces, but also big concerns about what america is going to look like after the presidential

election in november. a lot of uncertainty there. that is frank gardner at the munich security conference. early on sunday with laura kuenssberg laura spoke to the shadow foreign secretary david lammy about the decision visions in the labour party, both over gaza and anti—semitism. she asked him first about a scottish national party motion, calling for an immediate ceasefire in gaza. i have seen that swelling around social_ i have seen that swelling around social media and that isjust i have seen that swelling around social media and that is just a form of words _ social media and that is just a form of words swelling around social media — of words swelling around social media i— of words swelling around social media. i don't think that was the media. idon't think that was the entirety— media. i don't think that was the entirety that you read out. it is why i_ entirety that you read out. it is why i say— entirety that you read out. it is why i say that, in all seriousness, given— why i say that, in all seriousness, given the — why i say that, in all seriousness, given the tremendous loss of life, given— given the tremendous loss of life, given the — given the tremendous loss of life, given the fact that we have also said, _ given the fact that we have also said. in— given the fact that we have also said. in my— given the fact that we have also said, in my party, that we need now

parliament is going to be very, very healthy— parliament is going to be very, very healthy when we see, hopefully, labour _ healthy when we see, hopefully, labour picking up seats. that was david lammy talking to laura kuenssberg. the former prime minister of thailand has been freed early from the hospital where he is serving a one—yearjail sentence. thaksin shinawatra received parole after being convicted of corruption and abuse of power charges — which he denies. the bbc�*s tossapol chaisamritpol has more on the release. his sentence has already been reduced to one year. so the government see that he already is being detained in hospitalfor six months, so he is eligible for asking for parole because of his health. he is 7a years old. because of his serious illness and because he has already been detained, thejustice minister say that being detained in hospital is the same as serving the term in the jail. so he is eligible for asking for

parole, and now he is at his home. even though in that first image of the hospital, he's wearing a green shirt, he has a sling, like he has his arm injuries. and he could clearly walk on his own. so there is dramatic debate in thailand at the moment, especially on social media, whether he is in relatively good health. and, you know, he was walking about. why he has to be put in hospital for the past six months and not in jail like other political prisoners, because of his abuse of power back when he was the prime minister of thailand. and because he has a huge scandal related to corruption of monies, a lot of money involved. but he said that it was politically motivated, hence his decision to self—exile himself, for living in london, living in across the globe, in abu dhabi and any place like that.

but now he decided to come back home at a time that his party would have became the government, even though it did not win the election. so everything is seen from the view of the public majorities, because he came back on the same day that the party's prime minister candidate was voted as the new prime minister. there are more than 250 children in the uk currently waiting for an organ transplant. four—year—old evie green is one of them. she's being kept alive by a machine, but her family are unsure how long she will be waiting because of a shortage of organ donors as adam powell explains. in so many ways, evie isjust like other little girls. she loves dressing up, especially in pink. quite likes colouring in, too. but evie was born with a defective heart.

she has dilated cardiomyopathy and is being kept alive by a berlin heart. her home for the last year has been the freeman hospital waiting for a transplant. it's quite a lot for a family to sort of go through, especially... well, for anybody, but we've got another child as well. so we've kind of had to work out a system where one of us is always here with evie and the other one is always with our little boy, because unfortunately he's in school. we can't pull him out and bring him up here. big brother theo is visiting evie today. there are 17 children waiting for a new heart at the freeman hospital. nationally, there's a shortage of people on the donor register, something mum chloe would like to change. we're not waiting for, like, a child to pass away. we're just waiting for someone to make that ultimate sacrifice. because a child has to die for evie to live. but they won't die because of evie. that's not what's going to happen. it's just a case of what can they do to save some people's life and give

a legacy for the child, i think. well, it is very difficult for families to make a very difficult decision at a very immense time of sadness and grief. but families do explain to us how much comfort they get and pride knowing that they have helped someone else. we need families to have the discussion about organ donation, for parents to sign up on the organ donor register, and consider signing their children upon the organ donor register to save lives today and in the future. and particularly for children like evie to have an opportunity of receiving a transplant. it's been a tough few years for evie, but a new heart would transform her life. it would mean the world, and it would just be a chance of getting back to normal, really. getting a new heart would mean that she would thrive in that sort of aspect. and we're very well aware that a heart transplant isn't a cure for it,

but it's just an extension of her life and a good quality of life. the hope is that theo and evie will be playing together at home later this year. adam powell, bbc look north, newcastle. that's what you need, isn't it? yeah. david tennant will be hosting the event and we can talk to anna smith. let's speak to anna smith — film critic and host of the girls on film podcast. would it be oppenheimer�*s night? would it be oppenheimer's night? it will certainly come away with a few awards, that is for sure. it won't entirely sweep the board but it will do very well. this is a prestige british film. christopher nolan is well liked. the craft and it is

spectacular and it is complex and challenging so it is definitely sufficiently serious to be considered for best film. the baftas often go for something quite heavy weight. i think cillian murphy could well get best actor. i weight. i think cillian murphy could well get best actor.— well get best actor. i was surprised christopher— well get best actor. i was surprised christopher nolan... _ well get best actor. i was surprised christopher nolan... he _ well get best actor. i was surprised christopher nolan... he has - well get best actor. i was surprised christopher nolan... he has done l christopher nolan... he has done dunkirk, top cat mcknight rises. but he has never won a bafta. he is dunkirk, top cat mcknight rises. but he has never won a bafta.— he has never won a bafta. he is one of our most — he has never won a bafta. he is one of our most successful _ he has never won a bafta. he is one of our most successful and - he has never won a bafta. he is one of our most successful and adore i of our most successful and adore directors. personally oppenheimer is my favourite film of his. i feel like he should have won before. maybe that is another motivation for people voting as well. as bafta members, thinking, may be at his his time now. is members, thinking, may be at his his time now. . . members, thinking, may be at his his time now. , ., ., , time now. is that often the case with baftas. _ time now. is that often the case with baftas, where _ time now. is that often the case with baftas, where the - time now. is that often the case with baftas, where the people l time now. is that often the case i with baftas, where the people who do vote think, well we haven't given them something to them before, perhaps now is the time? i them something to them before, perhaps now is the time?- perhaps now is the time? i can't seak for perhaps now is the time? i can't speak for other _ perhaps now is the time? i can't speak for other people. - perhaps now is the time? i can't speak for other people. there i perhaps now is the time? i can't. speak for other people. there are perhaps now is the time? i can't i speak for other people. there are a lot of us in the voting membership. i do think sometimes there are lots of things involved. it is to do with the film but, if there is a sense that someone has been previously

the themes of the film. but the role he plays is really well written and brilliantly played and is part of the film's success. there is an outside chance that people, again with an emotional vote, a lot of people enjoyed watching a film with their families and people enjoyed watching a film with theirfamilies and it people enjoyed watching a film with their families and it brings a smile to the facejust their families and it brings a smile to the face just to recall it. margot robbie is up for best actress as well. i margot robbie is up for best actress as well. ., ., ., , as well. i would love to see her take that- _ as well. i would love to see her take that- i— as well. i would love to see her take that. i don't _ as well. i would love to see her take that. i don't think - as well. i would love to see her take that. i don't think she i as well. i would love to see her| take that. i don't think she will. sometimes comedic the live performances can be overlooked because that tends to go to slightly more serious fare. then again the favourite for that category of leading actress is emma stone, which is darkly comic, but perhaps considered to be more sophisticated in some ways. that considered to be more sophisticated in some ways-— in some ways. that has 11 nominations. _ in some ways. that has 11 nominations. it _ in some ways. that has 11 nominations. it is - in some ways. that has 11 nominations. it is an i in some ways. that has 11 i nominations. it is an interesting one. it nominations. it is an interesting one- it has _ nominations. it is an interesting one- it has a — nominations. it is an interesting one. it has a lot _ nominations. it is an interesting one. it has a lot of— nominations. it is an interesting one. it has a lot of nominations| nominations. it is an interesting i one. it has a lot of nominations but i'm not sure how many will come away with. i think costume, for sure, it has got to win for that. technically

it was at the old ice rink i was pretty wowed by it. i thought this was a massive place and i had never been to anything like before, when i saw them on ice with these blades i was like, what? what was that? i thought it was amazing and they hed costumes on and whizzing around and he was lifting her up, i was amazed by it. so began a love affair with skating that has lasted her lifetime. i competed until i was 15, 16 and wanted to travel the world and do shows like torvill and dean. she got her wish working around the world, doing what she loved best. 10 forward crossovers clockwise. 10 backwards crossover. now katie is back where it all first started, inspiration for the coaching very close at hand. their performance was so innovative and ahead of its time. you could see the beauty and the art of skating and the, even the costumes which we have at the entrance which we love to see. they did so much for the sport, even all my skaters have seen bolero and know all about it. they did so much for the art

and the beauty of the sport. not bad for an insurance clerk and policeman who wowed the world with what they could do on ice. he choreographed it as well. now you have a huge group working behind you on individual things, it was a police officer but then he choreographed this incredible olympic performance. it was amazing. iam old i am old enough to remember that original performance a0 years ago! some people are also saying they are old enough to remember. it is an amazing performance and still lives on a0 years later. you are watching bbc news. i will have the headlines for you at the top of the hour. i will have the headlines for you at the top of the hour. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz. hello. it was a very soggy night across many parts of the uk and especially wet in the south earlier on today. but here's the good news. if you want some dry and bright weather, well, it's arriving this afternoon. there will be a few

showers around, though. here's the weather front on the satellite picture as it clears from west towards the east, a definitive clearance behind this weather front. but even when the sunshine does come out in east anglia, and the southeast, there could be some showers following behind. now, the temperatures on the mild side once again, we're used to this now — 13 in aberdeen, about 11, though, in liverpool and in the south and the southeast, 1a or 15. a clear evening, and then later tonight, another weather front moves in. this one's quite narrow, though. could be quite heavy, but i don't think the rain is going to last for very long in any one location. again, a relatively mild night — eight in belfast, six or seven, i think for the most part, maybe a little bit cooler there in aberdeen at three degrees. in the morning, that weather front clears east anglia in the southeast. then this ridge of high pressure moves in. that means lighter winds, clearer skies, plenty of sunny spells. and again, temperatures typically double figures across the board. so that's monday's weather forecast. let's see what's happening on tuesday. another weather front moves in. so spells of rain for northern

ireland, the north quite cloudy around the irish sea and pretty cloudy elsewhere — with that also generally winds coming out of the west southwest so mild across the board. double figures expected on tuesday. up to about 12 to maybe 1a degrees. and then on wednesday, a more substantial dollop of rain heads our way. this big low pressure there dominating the north atlantic and its weather front sweeping across the uk. we think the heaviest of the rain will be in the first half of the day. so that means the afternoon is looking a little bit brighter, but breezy, i think, with frequent showers, especially here in the northwest, and typically around 12 celsius. towards the end of the week, we'll see that milder air pushing towards the east of the continent. a shot of not necessarily cold air, but cooler air arriving. so that means that the temperatures will ease from what's very mild at the moment to something closer to the seasonal norm, and a mixed bag with that as well. bye— bye.
