good afternoon. prime minister borisjohnson is to speak with the russian president vladimir putin and visit eastern europe in the coming days as the uk steps up its efforts to resolve the crisis at ukraine's eastern border. russia has gathered 100,000 troops, tanks and missiles at the border with ukraine, but denies plans to invade. borisjohnson said he would reiterate the need for russia to step back. 0ur chief international correspondent lyse doucet has more from kyiv.

ukrainians have long lived with war. dozens of british soldiers here since 2015, not long after russia first invaded. but with more of moscow's troops and weapons now massed along the border, diplomacy builds, too. next week, boris johnson's a visit to this region takes it up a notch. here in kyiv, there is concern that too much talk of war can be risky, too, but they need their friends. of war can be risky, too, but they need theirfriends. it’s of war can be risky, too, but they need their friends.— need their friends. it's a good si . nal need their friends. it's a good signal for _ need their friends. it's a good signal for us, _ need their friends. it's a good signal for us, not _ need their friends. it's a good signal for us, not only - need their friends. it's a good signal for us, not only for- need their friends. it's a good signal for us, not only for us, | need their friends. it's a good . signal for us, not only for us, not signalfor us, not only for us, not only for ukraine, but also to russian federations, that we have strong partners, we will not be alone with this if the invasion comes to be, so it is a good signal. moscow sends conflicting signals. more troops, more weaponry moving in

but it stores still open to find a way out. washington does the same, talking to allies in moscow, too, while bringing in military reinforcements and warning about any war. it reinforcements and warning about any war. ., , ., . ., war. it would be horrific, it would be terrible _ war. it would be horrific, it would be terrible and _ war. it would be horrific, it would be terrible and it's _ war. it would be horrific, it would be terrible and it's not _ war. it would be horrific, it would be terrible and it's not necessary| be terrible and it's not necessary and we think a diplomatic outcome is the way to go here. this and we think a diplomatic outcome is the way to go here.— the way to go here. this is what it looks like now. _ the way to go here. this is what it looks like now. russia _ the way to go here. this is what it looks like now. russia released i looks like now. russia released these images of its anti—aircraft missiles arriving in neighbouring belarus for next month's military exercises. a month fraught with ever—growing risk. and so what could this next month bring? the us presidentjoe biden says there is a distinct possibility that russia will invade the ukraine in february, but president putin says he doesn't have any plans to doesn't want a war. but no one is expecting a full—scale frontal assault, but between that and a

possible diplomatic solution, there is so much in between. small incursions, small incidents, cyber attacks, all of them could move this crisis ever closer to a conflict and accidentally tumbling towards a war that nobody says they want. lyse doucet, thank you very much. the report by civil servant sue gray in to lockdown parties at number ten is due to be delivered to downing street and published in the coming days. as opposition parties and conservative mps continue to wait on results of the investigation, our special correspondent ed thomas has been to macklesfield to gauge has been to macclesfield to gauge how the voting public are feeling about the alleged rule—breaking at the heart of government. a moment to focus. waiting for answers. reflecting on past sacrifices. we would try to be careful, had all the screens put in. debbie can't believe that, while some partied, her life was on hold. i still have sleepless nights now, worried sick about it,

whether we have to go into another lockdown. when you're hearing these stories come out about 10 downing street parties, what have you been thinking? i was brought up in a conservative family. would i be voting for them again? no. i don't think i'm going to be voting for anybody ever again, i don't trust anybody any more. you'll stop voting? i will stop voting, yeah. inside woodlands care home, it's been a constant battle against covid. forjudith, the pandemic has taken the heaviest of tolls. i've lost both my parents through covid. my father was in a care home in april, when itjust started. my mum, on christmas day, she called me to tell me she'd tested positive for covid and she passed away on the 28th of december. you've gone through so much. what are your reflections on where we are right now as a country? we've got a potential war happening in the ukraine, we've got fuel bills escalating, we've got a national insurance increase, which i hope doesn't go ahead, because it's going to impact all of my staff here.

we need them to focus on those things, rather than having parties and, you know, whether or not he did have a party. kelly, she loved nothing more . than having fun with her friends. other than having fun with her son. kelly had stage four bowel cancer. lockdown meant her treatment was paused. it's in my lung, it's in my liver, it's in my brain. the bbc filmed her days before she died. terrified. absolutely terrified. i don't want to die. like, ifeel like i've got so much more to do. kelly passed away approximately 12 weeks after being _ told to self—isolate. you know your life will. never be the same again. when you hear the prime minister's apology for parties and his regret, what is your reaction? it shouldn't have happened. but i don't think that should be, at this point, the thing -

that we are focusing on. let's get our priorities in order. whatever comes next, it's clear for many, trust and faith in those who lead us needs to be restored. ed thomas, bbc news, macclesfield. 0ur political correspondent ione wells is with me now. so, today, after all the waiting for the who gray report, it is still not published, where are we out with this situation? == published, where are we out with this situation?— published, where are we out with this situation? -- sue gray report. as we heard _ this situation? -- sue gray report. as we heard in _ this situation? -- sue gray report. as we heard in the _ this situation? -- sue gray report. as we heard in the report, - this situation? -- sue gray report. as we heard in the report, there i this situation? -- sue gray report. as we heard in the report, there isi as we heard in the report, there is universal recognition really that the trust in politics needs to be restored and the hope among many was that this report by the civil servant sue gray would do that and draw a line under all of this. now she is not waiting for the police inquiry to conclude and the police have made it clear they want her to make a minimal reference to some of the events they are investigating, there is pretty widespread concern there is pretty widespread concern the whole affair is going to be dragged out even longer and, if the

report isn't published in full, that could lead to this going on longer than expected. this is shared among supporters of the prime minister but also his critics. we had the tory mp adam holloway today telling the bbc he wants this report out in full to end this madness, in his words and also, the more critical mp, tobias ellwood, says any kind of redacted report would not go down well with the public and his colleagues, so fair to say now that we are expecting those report next week but anything other than the full report i think it's certainly going to cause some political difficulties going forward. cause some political difficulties going forward-— cause some political difficulties auoin forward. . ,, , . tens of thousands of people in three southern african countries have been cut off by flood waters following torrential rains from tropical storm ana. officials say more than 80 people across madagascar, mozambique and malawi have died. rescue workers have been struggling to reach regions where roads and bridges have washed away. concerns have been raised that major changes to the highway code that have come into force today haven't

been sufficiently publicised. the new rules are designed to offer greater protection to cyclists, horse riders and pedestrians, giving them more space and priority at junctions. a third of drivers surveyed by the aa were unaware of the changes. it's thought that 1.3 million people in the uk are living with long covid and hundreds of thousands of them experience breathlessness. traditional lung scans often appear to be normal, though. but researchers in oxford are using a different technique in a clinical trial, which does show problems in these patients' lungs. they hope that understanding the problem will lead to better treatment options. 0ur health correspondent catherine burns has the story. flo van diemen van thor was never one forjust sitting down inside. but she says long covid has been a horror show. it was not just the breathlessness that was really hard, it was muscle weakness, legs like jelly and just thinking if i try to go down the stairs, they might not carry me.

but this is the ct scan of flo's lungs and, like so many long covid patients, everything looks normal and healthy. these are my lungs, i've had them all my life. i know there's something wrong with them. flo is taking part in a study in oxford. breathe in and out. researchers think they're the first in the world to show abnormalities in the lungs of long covid patients. flo and the other volunteers have an mri scan as they suck in xenon gas. it behaves like oxygen and should cross from their lungs into their bloodstream. the numbers are small so far. 36 patients, 11 who didn't need hospital care when they were first infected but went on to get long covid. it's a very exciting and very encouraging first step. so what we have here is one of the first patients from our trial and the ct scan is entirely normal. they have then gone on and had

a xenon gas mri and xenon behaves the same as oxygen and you can see here, this is the xenon getting through normally into their bloodstream from their lungs and the blacker areas are where the xenon gas or oxygen would struggle to get through. it's early days for this study and there are still lots of questions, including exactly what is causing these abnormal lung scans. in the meantime, there aren't many of these specially adapted mri scanners across the country. if this research proves they are worthwhile, it would take some serious investment and several months to scale them up across the nhs. and breathe out... lovely, really good. flo says this was the turning point for her, learning breathing techniques with a respiratory physiotherapist. ijust want you to try and slow... it might take her longer to recover after exercise now, but she's moved up a level in karate. she's not back to normal yet, but thinks she will get there. catherine burns, bbc news. tennis now and there are highlights

of the women's final at the australian open coming up on bbc one at 1.45, so if you don't want to know the result, look away now. ash barty has become the first australian in 44 years to win their home grand slam. mike bushell was watching. carrying the hopes of a nation that's been longing for this for a generation. and ash barty gave them exactly what they wanted in the first set, impressing those who know what it's like to perform in an arena overflowing with tension. and danielle collins certainly found it hostile, asking the umpire to get the crowd to quieten down when she was trying to serve, but showing why she's heading into the top ten next week, breaking twice in the second set to race into a 5—1 lead. but barty wasn't going to let this opportunity slip away. an incredible fightback took the set to a tie—break. a wall of noise and expectation now too much for collins and, if you're going to write your name in history, this is the way to do it.

i mean, this is, this isjust a dream come true for me and i'm so proud to be an aussie, so thank you so much, everyone, we'll see you next time. so australia has a home champion again, for the first time since christine 0'neil, who looked on as barty�*s role model evonne goolagong cawley showed her delight in handing over the trophy and all that comes with it. mike bushell, bbc news. the next news on bbc one is at 6pm. bye for now. good afternoon. i'm holly hamilton with your latest sports news and ng have just been hearing ash barty is a new woman's champion at the

previous league games this season. and the women's fa cup there are 2/li—round matches. the holders chelsea have a way to aston villa where it is currently goalless and nottingham forest are playing manchester city at the city ground, man city leading after a minute 1—0.

rory mcilroy had one of the best rounds of the day as he divided a classic intention going is the final round. his three under parfinal round. his three under parfinal round included four birdies and an eagle that took him to ten under. two shots behind south africa's justin hardy. mcilroy has won this event twice before he knows his way around the course. there is a cluster of english —based was the top of the leaderboard led by tommy fleetwood who also went round in three under par. he is a shot behind mcilroy. that is all for the moment. there is much more on the bbc sport website, including live coverage of the women's premier fifteens website, including live coverage of the women's premierfifteens match between wasps and exeter chiefs. that is all up to date via there. i will be back in a moment. bye for now. holly, thank you very much for that. tens of thousands of people in three south—east african countries have been cut off by flood waters following torrential rains brought by tropical storm ana.

officials say more than 80 people across madagascar, mozambique and malawi have died. rescue workers have been struggling to reach regions where roads and bridges have washed away. mark lobel reports. a ripple of calm after the storm that ripped through madagascar, where dozens died and tens of thousands fled their homes. translation: | am very sad | because we worked like crazy to make money and now, our house is destroyed. how can we not be sad? we are victims of this disaster and get no help. there is nothing. makeshift shelter for the young and homeless. the flooded island in a state of emergency. storm ana's next stop was mozambique. here, it also destroyed thousands of homes, ripping through schools, hospitals and power lines.

translation: four| children died - four! plus the man from the army, too, but for sure, more died. no—one told us the water was coming. each neighbour wasjust running for themselves. it's estimated 115,000 people need humanitarian assistance. the un has described this storm is a blunt reminder that the climate crisis is a reality. mozambique's by minister points out his country contributes little to climate change but is one of those that suffers the most from its impact. in neighbouring malawi, roads were sliced apart, forcing grieving relatives to carry family members for burial. heavy rains leaving livelihoods decimated. translation: this is devastating. look — all of my maize crop has been buried. | i planted 1.5 acres. it's all gone.

following this storm, there are unwelcome warnings of another one building in the indian ocean. mark lobel, bbc news. the home secretary, priti patel, has approved the extradition of the british technology entrepreneur, mike lynch, to the us, where he's wanted on charges of fraud and conspiracy. dr lynch is accused of inflating the value of his software company, autonomy, ahead of its sale to hewlett packard in 2011. he denies the charges and his lawyers say they'll fight the extradition order. a teenager who developed tourette's syndrome in lockdown has been forced to pay for a diagnosis — after months of trying to get

help through the nhs. edie is 16 and started getting physical and vocal tics when schools were closed because of covid. doctors say the number of teenage girls suddenly developing tics during the pandemic has risen. this is her story. they first started with just a simple neckjerk and then twitching and then vocal decided to come along. when i have, like, an overload of them, my body feels exhausted. my neck aches like hell. my throat sometimes hurts when i do have verbal ones, like grunts, physical. they do end up leaving marks. that might be what i have to deal with for the rest of my life. i really didn't know what was going on with her at all. she wasjust exhausted. her whole bodyjust twitching and she just couldn't stop herself from doing it. i didn't think that it'd have an effect on her life as much as it has done. she's stopped doing everything. she's lost friends because of it. this is another one of my first paints that i did because it was just like a coping method for me and it, like, helped with anxiety and depression and not being able to go out. it was just really good because i could hide everything i was thinking onto my face

or onto a sheet of paper. every which way we turn, we were just hitting a wall. the longer this goes on, the more dangerous she becomes to herself. we can see she's having a lot. of tics, but i think where we feel that edie's is having an impact. on her is not only educationally, but also safety—wise. we have seen a lot more children coming in during this pandemic. period, so we really need - to understand what's going on.

to finally feel that i have a diagnosis makes me feel more relieved and less stressed and less awkward. tomorrow, events will be held in londonderry and around the world to mark the fiftieth anniversary of bloody sunday — when the army shot dead thirteen civilians during a civil rights demonstration. a new theatre production, called the white handkerchief, is having its premiere in derry. the writer, liam campbell, who died last month, spoke to our ireland correspondent chris page about the production. this image is a defining symbol of humanity amidst the horror of bloody sunday. the priest, father edward daly, waving a handkerchief as a white flag to try to protect jackie duddy, whose wounds turned out to be fatal. you feel it gather on you. the stage show, which gets its name from the picture, is moving, evocative and compelling. we take back the streets, i we take back law and order! you murder innocent men — and boys!

boys... boys on the doorstep of their adult life. it was conceived over several years by the late liam campbell. as a writer, the first challenge for me was not so much, what do you write, but what do you leave out? because in almost every aspect, every microcosm of the stories, when you begin to do your research, behind the headlines, if you like, of bloody sunday, every story is a play in and of itself. this scene depicts peggy deery, a widowed mother of 1a children who was injured. her pleading with a soldier is a particularly powerful moment. do not murder me and orphan my children! stop talking at me — lie down! we don't want this to be simply a story of tragedy and sorrow and loss, but of course it is. we want to bring more to it, and we want to step out from the chronological nature of the events that happened that day, and offer a more universal reflection upon the nature of conflict, upon the nature of injustice and on the

nature of innocence. # why have you come here to this land? # the arts can help to heal the hurts of history. the director of the white handkerchief is reminded of a quote. "grief is love that has nowhere to go." and the kind of stories that exist out there, if a writer puts that story to paper, and it takes from page to stage, then perhaps that love has somewhere to go. the sense of trauma remains sharp for bereaved relatives like jackie duddy�*s sister, kay. he was a great amateur boxer and he loved bringing home his trophies and that. me dad, he was so proud. you often wonder, would he have boxed in the olympics? would he have turned professional? would he have married? it just left so many unanswered questions. it's just...just too sad for words. the consequences of bloody sunday are felt most profoundly, of course, by the families of those who were shot dead on these streets half a century ago. but the killings also deepened divisions, and — many would say — lengthened the conflict here in northern ireland. in that sense, the impact

is still strongly felt today. # you stand here with gun drawn... # the anniversary has generated renewed pledges to build peace, not least from the writer of this, his final work. coming from derry myself, you know it's in the common consciousness of derry, but it's also quite literally written on the walls around you. it's on the murals, it's in the memorials. and part of our task, i believe, is to keep those stories alive. sobbing. chris page with that report. now, how did a vintage wedding dress from plymouth in southwest england end up being rescued from a skip in australia? the dress, complete with photos and memorabilia from the bride's big day 84 years ago, is now on display down under. kevin hay has been piecing

the story together 1938, and the clouds of war were gathering over europe. and the moment has come - when the prime minister of britain and the chancellor of germany clasped each other's hands. i in plymouth, dockyard electrician fred mcdonald married his sweetheart, gertrude bloye. gertrude packed away memories of the day and her dress in the dingles department store box that it came in. 84 years later, and on the other side of the world, bride—to—be claire ransome had set an alert on her social media for vintage wedding gowns. she was in for quite a surprise. i caught a glance of the photos. it was like a vintage wedding show bag. the gloves that her husband wore, dried roses, little wax buds from their wedding cake, then at the very bottom out came the dress, this beautiful, like, liquid, ithink it's called liquid silk.

the seller told claire her auntie had rescued the box from a rubbish skip in the city of perth. she said the children or grandchildren — she wasn't quite sure — were been quite ruthless in clearing out a house a deceased estate. how could anyone do that? this was a treasure box. you know, a self—contained treasure box. rather than write a diary, she's kept a visual and tactile diary of that day and the events leading up to it. it is of historical value. so, how did the dress get from plymouth to perth? fred and gertrude never had children, and when they died the box and its contents were handed down through the extended family, finally being sent to a distant relative in australia. why it ended up in the rubbish isn't clear. getrude's dress and her box of memories now have pride of place

in an exhibition of bridal gowns in castlemaine, victoria. this lady preserved it for all those years. i to see it back out of the dumpster land looking beautiful is, i think, i a great end to the story. ultimately, bride—to—be claire didn't wear the dress on her big day, but she did carry gertrude's mother—of—pearl hair clip in her purse. in my heart i sort of asked gertrude, "is it ok if i keep this for my wedding?" and i felt like it was a yes. i'm planning to send that to be, in the collection, so it can be reunited. in a moment or two we'll be reporting on how two black men died in south wales after contact with police. a year on, theirfamilies speak exclusively to bbc wales investigates reporter

mo jannah. but first the weather with susan powell. hello. very stormy conditions for the uk this weekend. saturday we have been watching ston malik particularly battering northern britain. tomorrow a little later on another storm set to work its way through named by the uk met office. amber warning still involves 0ffice. amber warning still involves scotland until the middle of the afternoon. this ridge of high pressure will start pushing as we look towards the evening and overnight. the winds will become much lighter. the skies will also clear and it will turn cold. a pretty widespread frost developing. look out for the odd patch of ice on the ground first thing on sunday. sunday morning, sparkling sunshine, light winds, there was a beast can start the day but come lunchtime crowds milling in from the west and the rain get into the west of scotland and that storm deepens towards the best of the uk and again causing damage and disruption across northern britain but with scotland once again likely to bear the brunt of the system. even on into first thing monday.

last year, police were called to this house in cardiff on the night of friday, january the 8th. he said the police had come to the property and said that there had been a report of a disturbance. they arrested him. they then took him to the cell. and from what we understand, that's where he remained. 24—year—old mohamud hassan was taken to cardiff bay police station. he was held overnight and released the next day without charge. i received a call from my niece. she kept saying he's not breathing.
