for its unwillingness to fall into line. second world war bomb found in a garden in plymouth on tuesday, to be detonated out at sea. a 300—metre cordon was already in place around the site, affecting more than 3,000 people. now more residents along the route of the military convoy have been asked to evacuate their homes in the keyham area from 2.00pm this afternoon until around 5.00pm. let's hearfrom superintendent phil williams, from devon and cornwall police. the bomb is going to be taken from the address down to a slipway near the torpoint ferry,

where it will be taken out to sea and then safely disposed of. we appreciate we're asking a lot of the public and we have done over the last few days, so we'd like to thank them for their continued support. and we just ask that they sort of help us through this, hopefully the final phase of this operation. also speaking at that press conference was plymouth councillor, sally haydon. if you are now affected with that new zone that has been put out, if you could leave your properties like you have been advised by the police from 1.30pm and not to go back until 5.00pm, that would be brilliant and stay with family and friends as well. if you don't have family and friends, then please come to the life centre where we can accommodate you. the best thing is we're keeping people safe and we need to listen to our experts and that's how we will keep people safe. tomorrow marks two years since russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine. the conflict has seen more than 200,000 ukrainians take sanctuary in towns and cities across the uk. 0ne centre in norfolk has become a vital community

hub for localfamilies, asjohn maguire reports. (vt usually you open every day and you see what happened yesterday. so, yesterday it was maybe for 15 minutes, sometimes it's four hours, it depends. just imagine if the very first thing you did every morning was to check to see if your home — 1,500 miles away — was being targeted by an air raid. i have this app in the telephone, and we know which air alert we have. so usually it's every day, sometimes twice a day. 0ksana fled kyiv with her children and mother when the war started. she's extremely grateful for the welcome she's had here, but wants to return home. the hardest thing, she says, is not knowing when it will be safe, or even possible. when we arrived, we didn't expect that we spend christmas here, even christmas. now we spend two christmases here. and if you ask me what i expect, i want to spend my next christmas at home. but now we realise more and more that we have no plans.

we don't know. twice a week, volunteers open this store in dereham town centre to ukrainian refugees, and latterly, also people from other countries. there are english lessons, a clothing bank, information on housing and jobs, even furniture for those setting up a new home. it's also a place for people to meet. mila, natalia and tatiana can catch up in their own language. through missile strikes, power cuts and a constant state of fear, mila say she stayed in ukraine until very recently, until her life became unbearable. there are so many reasons to leave, and yet so many to stay. some feel they have little choice but to remain, like natalia's parents. we are not safe. there is no safe place in ukraine. you cannot get used to that.

cannot get used to be scared all the time that maybe next alarm will make your house ruined, because of rocket fuel or bombing. so — but yeah, they are stressed. they are not happy. but they can't leave. theyjust cannot imagine themselves somewhere else. tatiana also still has family in kyiv, including her husband and their 21—year—old daughter, a family torn in half. she left for the sake of her youngest, nine—year—old katya. during lulls in the fighting, tatiana and katya have been home, precious moments. i was really excited to go to home and see everyone. yeah, i was really happy, to see my cats, everyone, family. and i can see my house and my toys. yeah, i have a lot of toys.

ii—year—old timor is young enough to have learned excellent english over the past two years, but old enough to remember the only country he'd ever known. it was like everyone was crying and sad about it because they're not going to see us in, like, more than a year and, yeah, they were all sad and stuff. all my friends were sad and i was sad. tomorrow, the volunteers and the ukrainian guests, as they're known, will mark the second anniversary of the russian invasion with a peace day. all will hope, perhaps against hope, that there will be no third anniversary of war in their homeland. there are currently 2.4 million veterans living in the uk. according to a survey from nhs england, around 60% have found it difficult to ask for help if they're struggling with their mental health.

gp surgeries in england are now being urged to sign up to a new scheme to improve medical care and treatment for those who have served in the armed forces, as our reporter abi smitton explains. ijoined the army injanuary 2000, at the age of 18. did two operational tours of iraq. and then i left the army in december 2013. there's no kind of training that can mentally prepare you for what you're going to experience. and you don't know how your body and your mind is going to react until you're in that position. jon lynn served with the royal electrical and mechanical engineers for 13 years. when he was discharged, he was left struggling with both his physical and mental health. when i came back, everything that i'd experienced, i kind of marked it up, and pushed it away to the back of my mind, in a box that said, "do not open." and that box just sat there for a period of time doing nothing.

and then, all of a sudden, itjust kind of exploded out. it was a difficult time forjon and his family. his wife was so concerned she took him to their gp. one of the first questions his doctor asked him was simple... have you ever served in the military? come in. good to see you. hi, doctor. have a seat, please. thank you. hampton surgery in the west midlands was one of the very first to become veteran—friendly accredited. the accreditation means gp surgeries will log if a patient is a veteran and receive specialist training to help point veterans towards specialist support. we need to know someone is a veteran and we need to show an interest in the fact that they've served and just wonder if their condition could be as related as to their service. this programme will help take work away from gps because once they've recognised that someone has got a mental health problem, then there's a really good referral pathway that's going to help them.

i don't know what it is, i don't think it's anything malign but, you know, i'm here so i might as well get it checked. tom served in afghanistan. as the taliban moves in, the west moves out. - when the taliban returned to power in 2021, he was watching from home and found himself struggling to cope. what i certainly hadn't realised, and i feel quite naive about it looking back now, but i hadn't realised that seeing these stories in the media about an environment that i'd known and i'd served in, and i had some very strong feelings about were surfacing a lot of thoughts and feelings that i hadn't really considered for quite a long time. when i came to the practice and i spoke to my gp about that, you know, he was so quick to realise that that was part of the problem that i was dealing with, but that wasn't something i'd seen for myself. i didn't feel like i had the right or i could deserve any treatment. when i came back from iraq, i was healthy. i was lucky. you know, there were people who were far less fortunate

than that and were injured and didn't come back in the line of duty. jon's gp surgery immediately offered him specialist support. he was seen by nurse helen hurst. 0h, hi, jon. so good to see you. today, they're reuniting for the first time in more than a year. how are you? i'm 0k. i'm doing 0k. i've had some ups and some downs. i'm proud of the nhs for stepping up and under, you know, the veterans covenant. we've got that whole duty of care towards our armed forces and you want to make that difference as well to their community and lives like jon, you know. when he tells you the difference it made. i feel honoured that i've been part of that journey with him. it's not something that i'll ever be kind of cured from. i've just got to manage it. so having the ability to drop back in and get additional support when it's needed is kind of vital for me.

it really did save my life. i don't think i would be here now had she not put that work in and that time in. and, you know, she didn't know that it was helping me. she didn't know me. butjust having someone who thought, you know, we really need to look after our veterans and, you know, the passion that she showed. it made a huge impact on my life. jon lynn ending that report there from abi smitton. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello there. we haven't got the persistent rain today, but there are still quite a few showers around for western areas and some developing inland and further east, as well, as the cloud has tended to increase. we've also got some chillier air today, so temperatures come the early evening probably sitting at six or seven degrees. it will get cold quite quickly. we still have some showers around, but most of those inland will fade away. we'll keep some going around these western coasts and some heavier showers come

into the south—west of england. there could even be a bit of winteriness over dartmoor, as well. it will be a colder night more widely. we had a frost last night in scotland. it will be very cold in the north—east of scotland and temperatures close to freezing elsewhere, as well. some mist and fog patches in the midlands in particular in the morning. 0therwise, some sunshine around. as the cloud builds up, we'll see a scattering of showers developing here and there. most of the showers running away from south—west england heading into the south—east of england by the afternoon. temperature—wise, still nine, maybe even ten degrees, so on a par with what we had today. the winds are going to be very light. there's going to be hardly a breath of wind for the six nations rugby, the game in dublin and then at murrayfield, where there could be one or two showers around here. the sun setting on another chilly evening and some frost is likely again on saturday night. but not towards the south—west because here we've got this area of low pressure coming in, bringing some wetter, windier weather. the position is still subject to change. it looks like the rain may be a bit further north,

into more of southern england, especially later on in the day, by which time it will be turning quite windy, as well. elsewhere, a lot of dry weather. there may well be a lot of cloud around as well. most of the sunshine in the east, one or two showers in the far north—west of scotland. again, those temperatures typically eight or nine degrees. let's look at that area of low pressure for the start of next week. it's going to track its way into continental europe. still hanging around towards the south—east. a lot more isobars, the winds will be stronger for many of us, but there will be a lot of dry weather. some cloud coming into northern scotland. most of the cloud will be across east anglia and the south—east, where we've still got the chance of some rain hanging on through the day. it's across these areas that it will be particularly windy. strong to gale force winds are quite likely, which will, of course, make it feel that bit colder. we're still in the same sort of air mass. temperatures around average for the time of year at eight or nine celsius.
