6:00 pm
good evening. borisjohnson is to speak to the russian president vladimir putin and visit eastern europe in the coming days — in an effort to resolve tensions over ukraine. russia has gathered 100,000 troops, tanks and missiles at the border with ukraine, but denies plans to invade. 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.
6:01 pm
but with more of moscow's troops and weapons now massed along the border, diplomacy builds, too. next week, borisjohnson�*s 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. it's a good signal for 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 its doors 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.
6:02 pm
it would be horrific, it would be terrible and it's not necessary and we think a diplomatic outcome is the way to go here. this is what it 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. next month is certain to bring more talking, but also more troop movements. president biden has said there is a distinct possibility that russia will invade ukraine next month, something that moscow denies. but what will it take to bring russia back from this brink? between a negotiated way out and a full frontal military assault, there are multiple possibilities. smaller incursions, small incidents,
6:03 pm
cyberattacks, economic sabotage. all of them bringing the risk of miscalculation and mistakes. the kind of an accidental tumbling towards war that everybody says they want to avoid. senior tory mps have joined opposition parties in demanding that the report into lockdown parties at number ten should be released in full. the report by civil servant sue gray is expected in the coming days. the metropolitan police, who launched their own inquiry, have been strongly criticised for asking for key details to be left out of her published report. a woman has been killed by a falling tree in aberdeen during storm malik. gusts of over 85 miles per hour were reported and tens of thousands of homes have been left without power. a second storm — storm corrie — is expected to bring further high winds tomorrow. catriona renton reports. widespread destruction as storm malik swept its way into northern parts of the uk. the northeast of scotland
6:04 pm
was particularly affected. emergency services in aberdeen were called at 10:30am to the place where this tree had fallen, but sadly, a 60—year—old woman had died. much of scotland experienced blustery conditions, gusts of 85 mph were recorded on the aberdeenshire coast, leaving tens of thousands of homes without power and transport disrupted, with cancelled train services and road closures. even stronger winds were recorded in the northeast of england. and near bradford, lee warner and his friend, richard, had been packing up their gear after a bike ride. i sat between the two backseats just crouching down, really, yeah. it pushed me further down, and then laid on the floor, my friend pulled me out of the back of the van. and almighty crash, to be honest, i thought
6:05 pm
my friend were dead, and he's been really lucky. a second storm, storm corrie is now on its way, expected to bring further high winds, especially to scotland tomorrow. katrina renton, bbc news. there are concerns that major changes to the highway code that 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 atjunctions. a third of drivers surveyed by the aa were unaware of the changes. graduates in england are facing a stealth tax rise, because the earnings threshold for student loan repayments is being frozen, according to a leading think—tank. the institute for fiscal studies says a graduate earning £30,000 will now repay £113 more a year than expected. the government said it was necessary to have a system that provided value for money at a time of rising costs. the freeze comes in in april.
6:06 pm
the latest government covid data shows there were more than 72,000 cases reported in the latest 2a hour period, as well as 296 deaths reported. meanwhile, it's thought that 1.3 million people in the uk are living with long covid, and many of them suffer from breathlessness. now, researchers in oxford are using a new technique in a clinical trial which reveals problems in patients�* lungs which aren't detected by traditional scans — leading to hopes of better treatments. 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.
6:07 pm
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 be able 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 patients from our trial and the ct scan is entirely normal. they have then gone on and had a xenon gas mri. this is the xenon getting through normally into their bloodstream from their lungs and the blacker areas are where the xenon
6:08 pm
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. ash barty has become the first australian in 44 years to win their home grand slam. top seed barty fought back from 1—5 down in the second set to win. mike bushell was watching.
6:09 pm
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 isjust a dream come true for me and i'm so proud to be an ozzie, 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.
6:10 pm
mike bushell, bbc news. we're back with the late news at 10:10. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. goodbye. hello. a stormy weekend for the uk. saturday saw malik bearing down on northern britain, seems hello. this is bbc news. let's get more now on the storm that has left a woman dead by a falling
6:11 pm
tree as strong winds from storm malik batter northern parts of the uk. police in scotland confirmed that the 60—year—old woman was fatally wounded by an uprooted tree in aberdeen. rail services have also been disrupted across scotland and the north of england. 0ur weather presenter susan powell told me the worst of malik looks to be over — though corrie is due to follow on malik�*s heels quickly. if we take a look at what's going on on the screen behind me, a picture often says a thousand words. if you look toward scandinavia, there is a massive white cloud with a kind of swirling hook there just getting to the coast of norway. that is actually now malik and malik is pulling away and the winds are going to form very light in the short—term, but the worst of malik is over, however, we are not out of the woods yet and possibly more dangerously, if you look to the atlantic, the left of the screen there is a kind of way to hook pushing its way north.
6:12 pm
that is an area we are looking at very closely for tomorrow because it looks like we are going to see another system, similar strength, following a similar path, but bear in mind, some trees, for example, will have been disturbed by malik but possibly not felled, and the rainfall will have loosened up the ground, so having another storm, this one is called corrie, following hot on its heels is not good news at all. there is a risk of some very difficult conditions. so we are seeing the cloud in the atlantic. this is saturday. at what point are you expecting it to hit? let's move over to our lovely pressure chart. it doesn't look like much currently because it's going to rapidly deepen, and as it does so, that's when those winds are going to whip up and the impact is likely, the met office warning in force from 1800, 6pm on sunday to midday on monday. between now and then, actually, quite a quiet night to come. the winds will fall light, there will be frost and first thing sunday, we are thinking it is all over.
6:13 pm
sunshine, light winds, but later in the day, across scotland and northern ireland, that wind will pick up and it's quite a large northern swathe of the uk that corrie is likely to be a headache into monday. in fact, if i flipped on again, this is the area you may be used to seeing these areas now, this is the area marked out currently by the met office with a warning for the strongest of the winds and the risk of disruption, but a little bit like what happened with malik earlier on today, they do change the warnings as they see systems getting closer and the impact risk getting higher or lower. i wouldn't be surprised if come this time tomorrow, we don't see as we did today and amber area appearing on that map, and it was the amber area where, for example, eastern scotland was that we saw the worst of the winds and the worst of the damage. i want to show you some pictures now. well this was the scene facing fishermen off the coast of aberdeenshire. these pictures were recorded in the north sea, to the north west of peterhead, where gusts of over 70
6:14 pm
knots were felt. earlier i spoke to natalie coupar from aberdeenshire who has had her porch damaged by the storm and her electricity cut off. so, we live in a single story cottage in the middle of the woods, and i think about at half ten this morning the power went out, and we knew at that point the wind was picking up and it was getting a little bit scary. i went through to the bedroom to get something when all of a sudden out of the window, i just saw one of the massive trees, i think it's just over 100 foot, fall down, and just as it was coming down, and just as it was coming down, i ran through because i have been nagging my partner all morning to pick something off the porch, and he managed to kind ofjump over the sofa and into the safety of the kitchen, and yet at that point, the porch came completely down, which is a shame, because he spent all of last year building it by hand, so a big job to do. film. last year building it by hand, so a big job to da— last year building it by hand, so a big job to do. oh, goodness me. i have never— big job to do. oh, goodness me. i have never seen _
6:15 pm
big job to do. oh, goodness me. i have never seen a _ big job to do. oh, goodness me. i have never seen a tree _ big job to do. oh, goodness me. i have never seen a tree that - have never seen a tree that size fall over. it must be very scary, but what is it like? is it almost like it's happening in slow motion? 0r doesn't happen quite quickly? very much so. i think in the grand scheme of things today, i know there has been a lot of damage, including loss of life, and we are very lucky, this is not a big deal in that context, really big tree, and as you say, it did happen slowly, you think it would be a big bang, but it was much more of the crunch as it came down, and i think a much more of the crunch as it came down, and i thinka bit much more of the crunch as it came down, and i think a bit of an adrenaline rush as that all happened, so it will be interesting to see, again, tomorrow, but the damage looks like and start to get it all cleaned up, hopefully. i’zfe it all cleaned up, hopefully. i've not to it all cleaned up, hopefully. i've got to ask _ it all cleaned up, hopefully. i've got to ask you. _ it all cleaned up, hopefully. i've got to ask you, will— it all cleaned up, hopefully. i've got to ask you, will your partner build it again? i got to ask you, will your partner build it again?— build it again? i have told him absolutely _ build it again? i have told him absolutely not. _ build it again? i have told him absolutely not. we _ build it again? i have told him absolutely not. we are - build it again? i have told him absolutely not. we are on - build it again? i have told him absolutely not. we are on the j build it again? i have told him - absolutely not. we are on the phone to the insurance today, so hopefully they can come round and have a look. there are lots of otherjobs to do, so hopefully they can do that, but i am sure it he will have a lot of advice to offer them as they do at.
6:16 pm
in the meantime, you are also without power, so what kind of impact is that having on you? have you got any heating? we impact is that having on you? have you got any heating?— you got any heating? we are very luc to you got any heating? we are very lucky to have _ you got any heating? we are very lucky to have a — you got any heating? we are very lucky to have a wood _ you got any heating? we are very lucky to have a wood burning - you got any heating? we are very. lucky to have a wood burning stove that will keep us warm tonight, but because we are in the middle of nowhere, there are lots of villages and towns without power, we will be very low on that list, we will see how we feel on day four or five, but hopefully it can get restored soon. what is the news on when power will be put back on for you? have you heard from the authorities? we heard that they are — heard from the authorities? we heard that they are going — heard from the authorities? we heard that they are going to _ heard from the authorities? we heard that they are going to give _ heard from the authorities? we heard that they are going to give us - heard from the authorities? we heard that they are going to give us an - that they are going to give us an update tomorrow, and i don't know if it's just a standard notification, but it did seem to say they were hoping to resolve it by then. i think it's a little bit of wait and see to be honest, so we've got candles, we've got heat from the fire, so thankfully we will be able to keep warm. ijust genuinely don't know and i know a lot of places are out across the country as well, so we will see how long it takes them.
6:17 pm
i went to bring you news that there has been a major incident following the impact of star malik. emergency services, the impact of star malik. emergency services. local— the impact of star malik. emergency services, local authorities _ the impact of star malik. emergency services, local authorities and - the impact of star malik. emergency services, local authorities and key . services, local authorities and key organisations working with northern power grid to support residents. —— storm malik. basically what it means is when a major incident is declared, it means additional support from the council and emergency services will be made available in the region. we know that storm malik has brought down power lines across the region and that a number of properties and co. durham are without power and remain without power. as i said, emergency services, the local authority, other organisations are working with northern power group to support residents in county durham following what has clearly been a considerable impact of storm malik and we will bring you more on that as we get it.
6:18 pm
meanwhile, a fierce winter storm bringing heavy snowfall is sweeping across the us east coast with forecasters warning of "historic" blizzards, hurricane force winds, power outages and travel chaos. five states have declared emergencies. more than four thousand flights have been cancelled. the governors of new york, newjersey and virginia have made emergency declarations, urging people to stay home and hunker down, travelling only ifjourneys are essential. the report by civil servant sue gray into lockdown parties at number 10 is due to be delivered to downing street and published in the coming days. as opposition parties and conservative mps continue to wait for the results of the investigation, our special correspondent ed thomas has been to macklesfield to gauge how the voting public are feeling about the reports of rule breaking at the heart of government. a moment to focus. waiting for answers. reflecting on past sacrifices.
6:19 pm
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 it made me really angry. it makes you think. — it made me really angry. it makes you think, are they telling you the truth? _ 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.
6:20 pm
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
6:21 pm
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 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. well it's still unclear when sue gray's report will be published and there are also doubts over how complete the it will be, after the met asked her to make "minimal reference" to events they are looking at. earlier i spoke to lord john morris of aberavon who was the former attorney general under tony blair. i'm astonished from the metropolitan
6:22 pm
police changing their minds as to their interest in this matter. i think the paramount public interest is publication so that the government can get on with their business and interest in the prime minister and hold parliament. i'm astonished that we don't know whether the director of public prosecutions has been consulted and whether the attorney general has been consulted. the chain of advice is usually the cps and in a matter involving public figures, the attorney in my time certainly was fully informed. although the decision would've been for the director. if decision would've been for the director. , ., . decision would've been for the director. ,., . , director. if the police believe there has _ director. if the police believe there has been _ director. if the police believe there has been lawbreaking. | director. if the police believe - there has been lawbreaking. aren't they right to ask for delays and changes? they right to ask for delays and chan . es? ~ �* , they right to ask for delays and chances? ~ �*, ., ., ., changes? well, it's a matter of proportion, really. _ changes? well, it's a matter of proportion, really. we - changes? well, it's a matter of proportion, really. we are - changes? well, it's a matter of proportion, really. we are notl proportion, really. we are not dealing with a jury trial, we are dealing with a jury trial, we are dealing with a comparatively minor offence, something perhaps a little
6:23 pm
more important and then a parking offence, something dealt with by moderate to modest penalty. i don't think that there is a danger of prejudice, if there is, you've got to have a sense of proportion. i think the public interest, and i used to be the final adviser on the public interest, in my view, i would have five, and i retain that view, that the public interest is the publication so they should know all that's happened. if anything happened at all. and i do not see how it could be any serious prejudice in the sense that possibly somebody who is involved might say one thing different to another but that always happens in any criminal investigation.— investigation. that is the key oint, investigation. that is the key point. isn't — investigation. that is the key point, isn't it? _ investigation. that is the key point, isn't it? i— investigation. that is the key point, isn't it? itake - investigation. that is the key point, isn't it? i take your. investigation. that is the key i point, isn't it? i take your point that this may not or would not prejudice the potentialjury trial, but if we know what has been found
6:24 pm
in advance, that could influence the type of statements that witnesses and suspects make indeed to detectives and then justice wouldn't seemed to be done, what it? weill. detectives and then justice wouldn't seemed to be done, what it? well, i don't know — seemed to be done, what it? well, i don't know what's _ seemed to be done, what it? well, i don't know what's in _ seemed to be done, what it? well, i don't know what's in the _ seemed to be done, what it? well, i don't know what's in the report - seemed to be done, what it? well, i don't know what's in the report to i don't know what's in the report to more than anyone else, it's a question of proportionality. there's always a risk of prejudice, but you've got to have a sense of proportion about this. the involvement of any person is a comparatively minor possibility of a small modest moderate, but there is no danger of a trial in this particular case as i understand it. i may be wrong, but i think the general interest or the public interest which is not the same thing as the interest of the public, the
6:25 pm
general interest, i wish to give the view that the paramount consideration is disposing of this matter so that we could get on with all the other matters that should be concerning the government. therefore mi . ht i ask concerning the government. therefore might i ask you _ concerning the government. therefore might i ask you what _ concerning the government. therefore might i ask you what you _ concerning the government. therefore might i ask you what you think - concerning the government. therefore might i ask you what you think is - might i ask you what you think is driving the police behaviour? weill. driving the police behaviour? well, since they have _ driving the police behaviour? well, since they have changed _ driving the police behaviour? -ii since they have changed their mind so many times and when you read some of the editorials in the papers this morning and change their mind several times as to whether or not the inquiry should go on whether there should be disclosure, but that there should be disclosure, but that there should be disclosure, but that there should not be, one doesn't know and i cannot put myself in the shoes of the commission. it's a matter for shoes of the commission. it's a matterfor her and she shoes of the commission. it's a matter for her and she will eventually have to defend her position. it eventually have to defend her osition. . , , , , ., position. it has been suggested, and i would like your _ position. it has been suggested, and i would like your view _ position. it has been suggested, and i would like your view on _ position. it has been suggested, and i would like your view on this - position. it has been suggested, and i would like your view on this if - i would like your view on this if you wouldn't mind, that this could be a bit of an establishment stitch up be a bit of an establishment stitch up and in effect the police have

6:27 pm
area, the man and boy were taken to the university hospital and very sadly, despite the best experts of medical staff, the nine—year—old passed away. we're being told that the boy's family being supported by specially trained officers. the man remains in hospital and people are being asked to avoid the area. so a nine—year—old boy has died after a tree fell on him. a man remains in hospital and of course, this comes in the wake of the news that police in the wake of the news that police in scotland earlier today confirmed that a 60—year—old woman had died after a falling tree fell on her, and operated tree that was in aberdeen. so the effects of storm malik being felt across the country. now, it's thought that 1.3 million people in the uk are living with long coated —— it's thought that 1.3
6:28 pm
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. we will not be bringing you catherine's reports, instead, i spoke a little earlier to dan, who is living with long covid and professor fergus gleeson, a consultant radiologist working on the trial we can see the abnormalities on the scan are almost certainly due to covid, what we need to do is see how much of the abnormality is causing their symptoms, much of the abnormality is causing theirsymptoms, because much of the abnormality is causing their symptoms, because he can have things wrong with your lungs, your kidneys, your heart and not feel symptoms, so we need to make that
6:29 pm
