ukraine has told residents to evacuate the city of pok—rovsk in the donetsk region, with officials saying russian forces are "rapidly approaching" after heavy fighting there. it comes as the ukrainian incursion into russia continues. ukraine says the aim of its attack on kursk is to force russia to the negotiating table. a presidential advisor said only tactical defeats would convince the kremlin of the need to start fair peace talks. ukraine has set up a military office inside russia, which it says will "meet the immediate needs" of the population in the area. russian officials previously said they have prepared plans for "additional measures" to safeguard the population and infrastructure in areas bordering ukraine. let's speak to victoria, program director for security studies at the ukraine center for defence strategies . how realistic to think that aim is
3:35 pm
that this incursion will force russia to the negotiating table? is we say, there are two top civil tactical advantage for the ukrainian forces which are you mentioned, kursk, the division is mostly, ukrainian forces can penetrate the russian region of approximately a0 counties and that is something we say, the russian troops were not preferred for and it was a mental shift. not only officers but civilians, the population, that something like that could be done so it is a one advancement. potentially, it is, and we can prove that the only tactical impact on the russian territory will ensure that russian territory will ensure that russian federation is serious. from another front, russian federation is serious. from anotherfront, as russian federation is serious. from another front, as you already mentioned, on the eastern flank will

precisely, there are much more remains challenging situations for the armed forces of ukraine because there is a lower number of personnel and troops in particular from the russian forces and of course, there are constant what we say more than 100 combat engagements in the front is happening for that. so, a direction to the north—eastern front, it is more challenging but the same time there are more opportunities. on the more eastern and southern eastern, it is more about combat engagements of this is something that the russians are trying to do, they are trying to what we say balance opportunities to the advancement of the ukrainian armed forces. in this sense, they use not only drones but also very, and a lot of operational manual groups,... and a lot of operational manual grows-"— and a lot of operational manual groups,... and a lot of operational manual ”rous,... ., ., ., ., y groups,... you wonder how long they can keep up —

but that yesterday. there has been a right line from the uk and the use of long—range missiles. in terms of ukraine being able to use them, they provide is missiles. do you expect to see any sudden change that now that now that we have seen the use of tax by ukraine inside russia? i think all of this in the negotiation stage because the same is going to happen that we are going to analyse the use of the american weapon in the... forthe the use of the american weapon in the... for the strikes, the use of the american weapon in the... forthe strikes, not the use of the american weapon in the... for the strikes, not dip strikes but short strikes. if you heard, and last week, the american authorities were in their negotiations with ukrainian authorities about the manoeuvring of some of the operations. it is definitely going to be shifting and we hope, as ukrainian experts, on the usage of western weapons. the

five people have been charged over the drug—related death of the "friends" star matthew perry. the 5a—year—old actor was found dead in a hot tub at his los angeles home last year. he had taken ketamine. those charged include the actor's former personal assistant, two doctors who are accused of supplying the star with the drug, and an alleged dealer known as the "ketamine queen". court documents allege matthew perry's assistant injected him more than 20 times with ketamine in the days before he died. emma vardy reports from los angeles. hey, i got you a present! oh, my goodness, where did you hide it? to fans, matthew perry, best known as chandler bing, was the funny characterfrom friends, who'd made no secret of his flaws. he'd struggled with drugs and alcohol throughout his career. i'm in control of the first drink, and so i do all these things to protect myself from not having the first drink. sure. at the time of his death,
3:46 pm
he was said to have been undergoing therapy for depression — taking small doses of ketamine. but when he was found in the jacuzzi at his home, the levels of the drug in his body were much higher. the five people facing charges are alleged to be part of a criminal network, supplying the drug, including two doctors, who used the actor say law enforcement as a way to make money. these defendants took advantage of mr perry's addiction issues to enrich themselves. they knew what they were doing was wrong. were doing was risking great danger to mr perry, but they did it anyways. the desperation that led perry. to these individuals was not met with help, as it should have been from the doctors, - but instead it was met- with exploitation — exploitation by those who should have guided him toward help. i matthew, right here first. thank you. matthew perry was charged 2,000 for a dose of ketamine worth around $12. the doctors are accused of acquiring the drug and falsifying medical
3:47 pm
records — one of them writing in a text, "i wonder how much this moron will pay." and matthew perry's personal assistant has admitted injecting him on the day he died. investigators say while looking into the actor's death, they uncovered a drug supply network, involving a dealer known as the ketamine queen in hollywood, and say that other suspects in connection with the operation are continuing to be investigated. emma vardy, bbc news. we're going to talk now about these very special scottish rocks. they're the garvellach islands, in the inner hebrides in the west of scotland. and they could help scientists understand the period known as "snowball earth" — the longest and deepest ice age in our planet's history. this period is important because it's believed to have led to the development of complex life on earth. our science correspondent pallab ghosh has more these tiny islands in the inner
3:48 pm
hebrides of scotland hold the key to how the first animal life emerged on earth hundreds of millions of years ago. each layer of this rock face in the garvellach captures a snapshot of the planet's distant past. scientists have now dated fragments of the rock and shown them to be from the only place in the world to have a detailed record of how our planet plunged into the most severe and prolonged ice age in our history. these tiny grains prove beyond any doubt that the garvellachs are the best and most complete record of a critical period in our history called snowball earth, when for 80 million years, pretty much the entire planet was covered with ice. if we wind back the calendar hundreds of millions of years, we see that scotland was in a completely different place, because the continents have moved over time. it was south of the earth's equator and had a tropical climate until it and the rest of the planet
3:49 pm
became engulfed in ice. but then something remarkable happened. after the melting of the snowball, we suddenly start to get bona fide modern—looking animals. it seems counterintuitive that such a big freeze that could have prevented life was actually the spur to generate this explosion of life. after the snow ball melted, of course, everything that had adapted to that and diversified in those in those specialist niches would have had to then compete with each other in some kind of arms race. geologists have been studying the rocks on the garvellachs for decades — first on foot, using the only building on the island as a base, and more recently, using drones to create detailed computer—enhanced images of the rock layers. if the results are confirmed, these islands could be awarded
3:50 pm
a golden spike. that's an actual spike hammered in to celebrate the location of a planet changing geological moment. scotland can get the golden spike. the chance is very high, based on the garvellach formation presented a great example, excellent example of the potential candidates of the golden spike. the researchers will find out next year whether they and scotland have won the golden spike. pallab ghosh, bbc news. elias rugen is first author and geology phd researcher at ucl earth sciences and these rocks show the trainsition into that ice just explain what you are looking at in these rocks and what it tells you? in these rocks and what it tells ou? , , you? these rocks off the west coast of scotland, — you? these rocks off the west coast of scotland. a _ you? these rocks off the west coast of scotland, a record _ you? these rocks off the west coast of scotland, a record of— you? these rocks off the west coast of scotland, a record of what - you? these rocks off the west coast of scotland, a record of what is - of scotland, a record of what is known as noble earth, and this is a
3:51 pm
glaciation that basically covers the entire planet in ice. so, if you can imagine looking from outer space at the planet, it would look like a snowball. this glaciation in scotland, we do not know how odd it was previously so our new data, new age constraints confirm that is part of a glaciation that lasted between 720 million years ago and 600 and million years ago. that is a 60 million years ago. that is a 60 million timespan for a snowball earth. he put that into perspective, is the same amount as time so it is an incredible amount of time for the spin to be encased in ice. you an incredible amount of time for the spin to be encased in ice.— spin to be encased in ice. you can see this once _ spin to be encased in ice. you can see this once in _ spin to be encased in ice. you can see this once in scotland, - spin to be encased in ice. you can see this once in scotland, why is. see this once in scotland, why is it that there wasn't the sort of glacial erosion there? what has been in the past years. that glacial erosion there? what has been in the past years-— in the past years. that is a good auestion in the past years. that is a good question when _ in the past years. that is a good question when i _ in the past years. that is a good question when i can't _ in the past years. that is a good question when i can't answer, . in the past years. that is a good question when i can't answer, i | question when i can't answer, i don't know why it is such a unique, special place. but, we see erosive
3:52 pm
power blushes today in the modern world, they plough through everything. so, usually below the snowball earth glaciation, the rocks beneath it, they have been completely removed by this glacial erosion. so, geologist, we have this missing time gap in the records. so, we can't get any of these questions about why snowball earth occurred because we simply don't have the record of it. in scotland, that doesn't seem to be the case. we have this traditional transition from warm, tropical seas full of bacteria life, transitioning slowly into this kind of widespread global ice age. tell me literally what you're looking for. when you go to one of these rock areas, and you get closer to it, what is it exactly that you are looking at? i to it, what is it exactly that you are looking at?— are looking at? i work as part of the wider _ are looking at? i work as part of the wider team _

3:56 pm
to become fewer. the many places, it is going to be dry with clearer skies. a bit cooler than it was last night, across southern part of the uk. as low as seven or 8 degrees. it would be as cold in the north—east of scotland. starting to rubber sunshine, for many it will cloudy building up and bring to the risk of one or two showers into the northern and western areas. perhaps into the north—west of england. sunny skies lingering in the south—east and that is where we'll get the highest averages. again, it could be quite warm in the sunshine in the north—east of scotland. the weekend, we've got high pressure up towards the azores, and low pressure towards iceland and this leaves us with westerly wind. it could be stronger during the second half of the weekend, particularly for southern areas but again we seen that club will build up. it brings a risk of were two showers, may be in the north—west of scotland and there will be sparser sunshine around as
3:57 pm
well. the temperatures, not changing too much, 18 or 19 for scotland and northern ireland. as we head into monday, the weather starts to change a bit, particularly in western areas, pressure could be falling here, there are weather fronts to come in from the atlantic, but we are going to start dry and sunny. particularly through the south—west as the club was in. it gets wet in northern ireland. i had that, the midlands and eastern england should have a dry and warm day with some sunshine.
