good morning welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and nina warhurst. our headlines today... a russian invasion of ukraine is "highly likely". that's the assesment of the defence secretary, as more than a dozen countries urge their citizens to leave. 13 people are injured after a mezzanine floor collapses at a pub in east london. the prime minister's new chief of staff says the government will "take a step back" from people's lives post—pandemic gearing up for one of the biggest sporting shows in the world — super bowl 56 rolls into los angeles. "one of the hardest and best

victories in a welsh shirt." so says dan biggar as he leads the reigning champions to a much needed win over scotland in the six nations _ bright in the north of scotland today but for most of us expect rain with strong winds in the south as well. why have all the details here on breakfast. it's sunday, the 13th of february. our main story. the defence secretary, ben wallace, says it's "highly likely" vladimir putin will order russian forces to attack ukraine. mr wallace told the sunday times, "there was a whiff of munich in the air" — a reference to last days of diplomacy before the second world war. the kremlin has repeatedly denied any plans to invade. our correspondent aruna iyengar has the latest. a frosty phone call between russia and the us has not yielded much — the two powers a long way apart. the defence secretary, ben wallace, has likened to these diplomatic

efforts to appeasement during the second world war. he says the reality is that russia is highly likely to invade ukraine and warns that russia's military presence on ukraine's borders is so large they could launch an offensive at any time. but russia does have over 100,000 troops amassed on ukraine's borders. it accuses nato of not taking its security concerns seriously and once the defence block to promise never to admit —— once the defence block... ukraine to its membership. saying the us is whipping up hysteria over an imminent invasion. war and take an unpredictable path, and we think if russia does act in the way that we fear it will, it will bring tremendous hardship and greater insecurity into the heart of europe, and that is a concern to all of us. there are fears that russia may initiate a so—called "false flag" operation.

this might involve attacks on pro—russian groups in ukraine to create a pretext for an invasion. he has shown that russia will not be ignored. don't forget that only six months ago everyone was talking about china, particularly the biden administration. so putin has succeeded in getting his demands discussed publicly, being again the centre of attention and trying to demonstrate that russia is still a great power. despite the fact it is actually a declining power. if russia does invade, president biden says that nato countries will use sanctions to cripple the russian economy. nato is supplying weaponry to ukraine and other eastern european countries but says it will not land trips in ukraine. —— troops in ukraine... time is running out for a peaceful solution. the us, the uk and other countries have told their citizens to leave ukraine immediately. aruna iyengar, bbc news. at least 13 people have been injured after a mezzanine floor collapsed at a pub in east london. firefighters rescued

the country and is going to turn windy as well towards the south of the uk as well. this took at the picture look at the pics in space and this is from the us coastline and this is from the us coastline and it's this which is developing aerial pressures spilling in at the moment another murder charge that you can see the rain pushing it across much of ireland and into the western fringes of england and wales. some splashes east of that but mostly dry at the beginning and a touch of frost and the far north of scotland will stay dry for much of scotland will stay dry for much of the day but once the rain had sent it will beat throughout. heavy rain in the west and the brecon beacons in south wales and that will push its way eastwards so compared with yesterday, east anglia and the south east the rain will arrive quicker and it is in the south will receive the strongest winds. the wind is coming from the south and it means temperatures are a bit above where they should be at this stage of february but tempered by the strength of that wind. wet windy end to the end of the east and the wind

is picking up on the north of scotland tonight with showers. most places will be dry for a time and with clear skies for a time most prone to frost will be parts of scotland and into the north of northern ireland. but from monday, an area of low pressure will bring rain and it will start to clear away and opens the door to chilly wind as to whether front to tie in saw plenty of cloud and may be a bright start in the south but with that cloud spreading its way southwards we will see outbreaks of fairly showery rain. sunshine and showers for scotland and northern ireland and a colderair for scotland and northern ireland and a colder air means the showers could be wintry and quite windy throughout those eastern coasts adding to that much cooler feel. then into tuesday, after a chilly start, will see a band of rain pushing and a bit of snow possibly in the scottish mountains and clearing to sunshine and showers in the country and the rain will be spreading southwards with blustery conditions and we will have that north — south split with

temperatures. things turned milder as we go into the middle part of the week. air rushing up in the northern edge of this high—pressure system from mid—atlantic, but we see this deeper low spreading in. the outlook for the middle of the week, particularly wednesday and thursday will be wetter and windier but milder conditions with temperatures in the south to the mid—teens and it turns colder or later. but nowhere as cold as we are seeing at the moment over in beijing with the winter olympics and seeing some real snowfall this weekend and that will continue through today. it does clear in basing itself as we go into the first part of next week but maybe more snow later on but look how cold it is. these are daytime highs and with the wind being much colder than that. did you say is the first of a literal abuse?— first of a literal abuse? yes, for this one- _ first of a literal abuse? yes, for this one- at _ first of a literal abuse? yes, for this one. at last _ first of a literal abuse? yes, for this one. at last they _ first of a literal abuse? yes, for this one. at last they have - first of a literal abuse? yes, forj this one. at last they have seen something wintry.— this one. at last they have seen

very tight scoreline but the men were in control all the through. 7—6 it finished. that's a really good win for the boys. they play denmark as well so two matches against denmark today. denmark have yet to win any of their four matches so britain will be looking to pick up another win there. that would take them to four wins in the round—robin stages, six with see them through safely and we imagine to the semifinal. a step closer perhaps at the end of this day's action for great britain's men. before we leave beijing i have to say that the arbitration of sport and we will hear the case of the 15—year—old russian figure skater later on today and she was tested on christmas day and she was tested on christmas day and a positive result was only reported on tuesday, the day after she had rushes of the gold medal in figure skating team event. the russian anti—doping agency said she shouldn't be suspended, she should

be able to continue competing at these games but the international testing agency ladder and the iris i disagree and say she should not be allowed to continue as the court of arbitration will hear the case. these are pictures of her practising earlier on this morning and cutting a very lonely figure out on the eyes. you can see the talent there, the raw talent but the fact that she has tested positive for banned substances has cast a cloud over this competition and she will find out tomorrow whether she will be able to compete in the women's singles for which she is the favourite to win the gold. however, that decision goes, whichever way calls, its a tragic tale indeed. thanks for keeping us up—to—date on that and we will speak to you later. enjoy the very jealous. chelsea manager thomas tuchel said it was all down to the passion of owner roman abramovic, after they took the only honour they'd yet to secure under his reign, the club world cup.

they beat palmeiras 2—1 in abu dhabi, romelu lukaku put them ahead but the brazilian side levelled and it went to extra time. and kai havertz scored from the penalty spot to give chelsea the victory that makes them only the fifth club to win every major competition. it didn't take long for manchester city to restore their 12—point lead at the top of the premier league. raheem sterling scored a hat—trick as they won 4—0 at norwich. they're unbeaten in the league since october — but their closest challengers liverpool do have two games in hand — one of those is this afternoon at burnley. manchester united dropped more points at old trafford — jadon sancho's first home goal gave them the lead over southampton, but that was wiped out soon after half time, thanks to che adams. that's the second league game in a row united have let slip after going ahead. everton manager frank lampard

said their performance made him "really happy", after they beat leeds 3—0 — that's their first league win since he took over. captain seamus coleman set them on their way to victory, which moves them five points clear of the relegation zone. roy hodgson is yet to see watford score in his three games in charge. they were comfortably beaten by brighton yesterday — neal maupay�*s excellent finish helping the seagulls to a 2—0 win. watford remain second from bottom. rangers had little trouble in reaching the last eight of the scottish cup, beating annan athletic 3—0. fashion sakala scored the third — catching the league two keeper by surprise — not sure whether that was a cross or a shot! details of all the day's games are on the bbc sport website. there was a terrific game in the super league, with warrington coming from behind late on to beat 12—man leeds rhinos by 22 points to 20.

they drew level with six minutes left on the clock, when connor wrench crossed the line. that was converted, to secure warrington's victory. a busy day and i know we were talking about it but it's the super bowl tonight. t talking about it but it's the super bowl tonight-— bowl tonight. i was going to say we will stay with _ bowl tonight. i was going to say we will stay with sport _ bowl tonight. i was going to say we will stay with sport but _ bowl tonight. i was going to say we will stay with sport but i _ bowl tonight. i was going to say we will stay with sport but i argued - will stay with sport but i argued the soup about the showbiz, entertainment and a bit of sport. everybody loves it but even if you don't _ everybody loves it but even if you don't like — everybody loves it but even if you don't like sport, you love the super bowl _ don't like sport, you love the super bowl. �* , don't like sport, you love the super bowl. �*, ., are don't like sport, you love the super bowl-_ are you - bowl. it's the occasion. are you sta inr bowl. it's the occasion. are you staying up _ bowl. it's the occasion. are you staying up first? _ bowl. it's the occasion. are you staying up first? i'm _ bowl. it's the occasion. are you staying up first? i'm here - bowl. it's the occasion. are you - staying up first? i'm here tomorrow morning _ staying up first? i'm here tomorrow morning so— staying up first? i'm here tomorrow morning so i'm going to say yes. you have a morning so i'm going to say yes. gm. have a legitimate excuse. morning so i'm going to say yes. you have a legitimate excuse. tune - morning so i'm going to say yes. you have a legitimate excuse. tune in i have a legitimate excuse. tune in tomorrow. _ have a legitimate excuse. tune in tomorrow, 6am. _ have a legitimate excuse. tune in tomorrow, 6am. who _ have a legitimate excuse. tune in tomorrow, 6am. who is - have a legitimate excuse. tune in tomorrow, 6am. who is providing have a legitimate excuse. tune in - tomorrow, 6am. who is providing the rlitz and tomorrow, 6am. who is providing the glitz and glamour? — tomorrow, 6am. who is providing the glitz and glamour? eminem. - tomorrow, 6am. who is providing the glitz and glamour? eminem. snoop . glitz and glamour? eminem. snoop do , glitz and glamour? eminem. snoop dog. speaking _ glitz and glamour? eminem. snoop dog. speaking of— glitz and glamour? eminem. snoop dog, speaking of retro. _ glitz and glamour? eminem. snoop dog, speaking of retro. amazing. i

thank you. let's talk about that because it is the most watched spectacle in american sport. and tonight the los angeles rams take on the cincinnati bengals in super bowl 56. last years showpiece was watched by nearly 92 million people — and this year's game is expected to be seen by even more. sophie long's been to see how la is preparing. the first super bowl was played in los angeles in 1967. now football's coming home — to a brand—new stadium which just happens to be the most expensive sporting venue on the planet. a spectacular backdrop for the grand finale of this quintessential american sport. it's unbelievable. as soon as the kick—off happens, you just feel like you are almost in a movie. you know? no—one can believe... the tickets, by the way, are like $7,000. itjust feels like you're in the most exclusive nightclub in the history of the world. right? and you will see the most

famous people in the world sitting in the upper deck. with ticket prices like that, of course, not everyone can go. we are super excited to be going to the game on sunday. and how do they feel that you are going to get to go and you're not taking them? it's so unfair! so there's some conflict at home but we have told them that the super bowl is not for them, but that we are definitely going to take them to another game next season. catherine? with an audience that could exceed 100 million, super bowl commercials are a huge star—studded affairs, with 32nd -- 30 —— 30 second slot... slots selling for millions. watch the coffee. and then, of course, there is the half—time show. # in the city... you got snoop dogg, maryj, dr dre, eminem and kendrick lamar. it doesn't get any better than that. # guess who's back? i've been keeping it all the way are real.

i'm not trying to be egotistical or anything like that, but who else could do this show here in la? mm—hm. no—one. that's a fact. who else could perform the half—time show other than these amazing artists that we have put together for this thing? but the spectacular is taking place in a city with rising crime and a homelessness crisis. many encampments have been cleared, leading to claims that some of the thousands living on the streets are being shoved into the shadows. this is a sense of community for them, and it may be hard for those of us that are housed to think through that, but there is a hierarchy, there are belongings. so when they are asked to move and they are forced out of that community, even if it is on the street, it creates additional trauma. whatever the costs, and the amount of money changing hands is monumental, la and its legendary rap royalty are ready. it's super bowl show time. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles.

hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and nina warhurst. headlines coming up at seven.

now, as part of the bbc�*s we are england series, it's time for photo me famous. it's been a while since i've walked the dog around here. i know. do you remember you used to walk the dog when you were little? yeah. yeah, and you used to bring your camera and take lots of pictures. yeah, he was my test subject a lot of the time. yeah! i rememberyou being upset you couldn't get in to see one of your favourite bands and you were telling me how you were going to do everything you could do to get in. yeah, to get a pass. and look where you've ended up now. it completely changed the whole sort of trajectory of my life into this crazy world and crazyjob that i do now. some of the people i've photographed are ellie goulding, niall horan, david beckham, calvin harris. i think you've got some interesting way of being able to capture a moment. the most important thing is you got my good side. some birds havejust landed in the tree up there.

cannae wait to see you back on the road, taking some pictures. i heard a little quote the other day that i thought was so true. "broken people fix broken people." # you know that i'd die for, i'd cry for # you know that i'd die for you # you know that i'd breathe for, # i'd bleed for # you know that i'd breathe for you... liverpool's my favourite place on the planet. i was born and raised here, grew up here, learnt my craft here, learnt myjob here. most of my friends are still here. coming back to photograph here, it's really cool. i've not photographed a gig

here in a long time. the first camera i got was a very basic dslr camera, it was like an entry level digital camera. cost—wise, it was probably about £400, £500. this is a nikon d850 with a 24—70, which is a sort of close—up range — when it's at 24, 70's sort of a midrange zoom. after about a year, i invested in a different camera, and that camera probably cost about £1,000 maybe. i'd saved up quite a while for that one. and then this one is probably my second most used lens. this is a 70—200. i use that for close—up of, like, faces or details, or also the drummers are normally at the back of the stage, so you don't want to forget about the drummer, basically. a lot of live music is quite dark, so you want cameras that, like, lenses that let in more light. but that comes with a more expensive price tag a lot of the time, and some of those lenses would cost about 1.5 grand, 2 grand, and then now, all this gear in this bag here,

it's probably...it�*d be close to, like, ten grand maybe. # i'd cry for, you know that i'd die for you # you know that i'd breathe for # i'd bleed for # you know that i'd breathe for you... the calm before the storm. some nice moments might pop up. some natural, cool moments that other people don't really get to see, so it's nice to try and capture that. what have you guys been up to since the 02? chilling? yeah. we did live lounge, actually. oh, yeah, that was sick. it's definitely been weird coming back after such a long time.

i was nervous just sound checking. so much pent up, like, time and so much, like, not thinking it were gonna happen as well. itjust didn't feel real. so, like, when we actually got on stage, and i knew — isaid, like, "oh, it's gonna hit differently, that first show," but, like, actually, when we played it, it wasjust like... i cried so many times on the first tour. like, "this is too much, man." but definitely got a new level of appreciation for it. absolutely. gig's about to start. just checking my camera gear�*s ready, everything's working properly the way it should do, and then, yeah, just follow the band up to the stage and shoot the show. crowd cheering

rock music plays i went to a lot of gigs when i was an early teenager, and i always used to see photographers in the front, and thought that would be a really cooljob to try and do. i had no idea of how to do it. but a few months later, there was a concert i really wanted to go to, and it was sold out. it was an english rock band called the subways, and i tried everyone and anyone to see if i could get a press pass, cos i knew that'd be a way in to the concert. got no response from them, and eventually i actually ended up messaging the band members themselves and, amazingly, they responded and said yes. so i went and photographed that concert and that was where it all began.

we love you, i love you! i love you too, thank you! music plays # can you see the dark? can you fix the broken?

we'll see you very, very soon! live music is where it all started for me, with my career, and it will always be special and definitely hold a special place in my heart. that was a hot one. sweaty! i think my cameras were sweating as well! because of the nature of myjob, i travel a lot, so i've lived all over the world. i've have lived in london, i've lived in la, many different places, but over the last year during the pandemic, i've actually been back home at my parents' house, which has been really, really nice, actually. it's time that i wouldn't have spent with them otherwise. hi, mum. hi, conor. how are you? i'm good. nice to see you. you 0k, love? yeah. yeah? do you want a cup of tea?

ah, can i have a coffee, please? coffee? certainly. so this is my old bedroom. i had this wall full of old photo passes from shows i've done, which also has the very first photo pass for the subways gig that i shot, almost 13 years ago. there's tour laminates for ellie goulding. there's a red hot chilli peppers one there, which is quite cool. mac miller, arctic monkeys, katy perry here. bring me the horizon shows, there's calvin at creamfields. i think that was actually the first time i photographed calvin, was that pass. there's a lot of memories on this wall. i've got pictures that i've printed off for you. you can have a look through and see which ones you want. wow, look at the elephant there! were you lying on the ground? no.

no? laughs it looks like it, though. don't tell me, is that a... painted wolf. wow, i love the colours. that's fantastic. how far away were you from the lion? not. . . not that far away. that's amazing. gosh. big lens helps, though. that's actually in the arctic ocean, that one. how did you find that? because i was out of contact for, like, two months! just watching your little blogs that you posted every now and again, that helped, cos i was sort of, like, tracking the weather, checking everything was all right, saying lots of prayers, yeah! laughs this was the last wildlife trip i did before the pandemic. really? in japan? yeah, this was injapan. you can see every hair on its face and its body there. that's amazing. what sort of lens would that have been? i was pretty close for that one, i think. yeah, it wasn't, like, a big zoom lens or anything. no? i've printed out a few of my favourite live music ones as well. you obviously know that guy, don't ya? calvin, yeah. that's amazing. you've met him a few times as well, haven't you? i just love the colours in that one.

there he is again. that was one of the last shows before the pandemic. wow! that's an iconic shot, isn't it? and then niall, obviously. yeah, where was that one? that's in nashville. ellie at wembley. it's lovely just to see all the different people and the celebrities that you've met as well. i'm not driven by money in the slightest. never have been, never will. it's not something that motives me. but i have done well. i do shoots these days where it's one—day shoot, i could earn tens of thousands of pounds. we've always wanted all three of you to do what you enjoy doing, and i suppose if you enjoy doing it, you don't feel like you're going to work. yeah. it all worked out for the better and, you know, we're really proud of you and what you've done. we couldn't have asked for more, really. it'as just been incredible, what you've achieved. we just love you so much. love you. i met calvin harris back in around 2013, early 2014. i met him through ellie goulding, who i was working

with at the time. and then i noticed he was headlining creamfields festival and i decided just to drop him an email and see if he had a photographerfor it, and if not, does he want any photos taken? and, amazingly, he came back to me and said, "do you want to come and shoot the show for me?" so i went to photograph the show for him and the pictures ended up in his album. i've been to every show he's done since 2014. here's one of him on set of his song promises, which he does with singer sam smith. this shot is in between takes. they were just kind of chilling and having a laugh and ijust caught a really nice moment. boom! hello there. hey, how's it going? i am all right. how are you? looking well. cheers. i ate a bison testicle last night. 0k, wow.

yeah...raw. raw? aye. cut it up like sashimi and then i ate it. pure bison powerfor 24 hours. cool so that's what i'm doing. it's been a weird old time with the pandemic, hasn't it? no shows, no live music. there's only so long you can sort ofjust garden. when the pandemic first started, i was like, "0h, maybe i prefer gardening, actually." it was reallyjust...i think i made the right choice initially to go with music. yeah. so, we've got something coming up, haven't we? we've got a...we've got a vegas show, couple of weeks. yeah, back to vegas. that was pretty much my last show before the pandemic. at first, i wasn't sure that i was going to do it again at all. i thought i was going to settle in to the new lifestyle, you know, spend a lot

more time in the studio, a lot more time just being a human being. but then, you know, yeah, i saw other people come back doing shows, i was looking at the wee videos, like, "oh, it does look like fun, dunnit!" 0h, maybe i was bit down on it. 0h, i'lljust do one. so, i'm just doing one, just dip my toe in, see if... i feel like i'm going to enjoy it. exactly, and get back into it. i reckon you'll do that and the buzz of it will kick in. i might get a right buzz—on. i think you got some interesting way of being able to capture a moment without it looking contrived or, like, manipulated or anything like that. so, ithought, "yeah, that's amazing." the most important thing is you got my good side so that i looked real sexy. laughs yeah. cannae wait to see you back on the road, taking some pictures. we'll be in vegas to have a good time.

all right. see you in a couple of weeks. cheers, mate. see you later. take it easy. so, it sounds like i'm going back out to vegas with calvin. the first show of his i've photographed since before the pandemic. so, it's been a while. but i absolutely can't wait to get back out there and shoot it. so, i'm in manchester. i'm about to go to the manchester academy, which is where i photographed my first ever concert, almost 13 years ago — english band called the subways, and i'm going to meet billy, the lead singer of the band, and, yeah, catch up. hey, hey! good to see you. so good to see you. you too. it's been a while. yes! let's do it. wow, back again! yeah. it's so weird when there's no—one here. it's strange. let's go see the stage. so, i genuinely wouldn't know what i'd be doing with my life

if it wasn't been for you guys giving me that photo pass, almost 13 years ago to the day, for the gig that was right here. yeah! in this place. it's so weird being back, innit? yeah, absolutely. it's crazy. i genuinely believe that whether or not we'd given you that pass, that you'd be doing what you're doing now because you're brilliant at what you do and you'd still be soaring, regardless. if someone had said "no", or no response, i would have been like, "oh, well, i can't do that." well, you know, we feel honoured to have been that gateway for you. i actually have — i found the photos, or some of them anyway... oh, my god! ..from that gig. some of them are really bad, cos i genuinely had a very basic knowledge of how to use a camera. like, and i thought, "oh, automatic mode will do it." and i had a quick glance through the pictures and they're all, like, blurry and the focus is off, and that's what started my obsession with photography, was during that first song you played, cos i popped it into manual mode, and that was like, i sort of know little bits

and bobs, but then over the years it's stayed in manual the whole time and i've learnt how to use my camera. that's amazing. the thrill of it, you switched it up! that's absolutely amazing. i'll show you. right. so, this is you here. so this is you coming out. look at me coming on stage! but the focus is all off. like, here, the focus is on the mic stand and stuff. everything's blurry and out of focus. like, that... that's actually really artistic. it's awful! but it's here that i popped it into manual mode. i remember exactly when i realised for the first time that you'd just tipped over in to stardom. i looked on your profile and i'd seen that you'd taken the photograph of the kanye and kim wedding. and i was like, "oh my, god!" "conor�*s onto big things now." laughs

one of the craziest moments of my career was photographing kim kardashian and kanye west's wedding. i was asked to do it by a mutualfriend very last minute. itold him i'd never photographed a wedding and i didn't even own a suit. he told me to go get a suit and that he trusted me to do thejob. kim and kanye and the whole family were very welcoming. and one of the photos i took on that day ended up becoming the most liked photograph on instagram at that time. one of the things i get from this, is if you give people an opportunity, and they take it, it usually works out very well. and you're one of those cases. it's one of those beautiful things in life, i think. so believe, people, if you want take that chance, go for it, always! absolutely, 100%. take it and run with it. i'm a wwf ambassador, and i'm off to visit a project

called wild ingleborough, which is a project that is restoring the landscape to protect the wildlife, and i'm off to meet a guy called jono from the yorkshire wildlife trust, and i'm excited to meet him and see what the project's about and what they've been up to. getting into nature photography, ifound myself in some amazing places. days off on tour, somewhere like yosemite or yellowstone, there's a lot of amazing animals, nature and scenery. and over time i developed my portfolio. one of the most special moments of my career has been having the absolute honour and privilege to work and photograph with sir david attenborough. working with sir david came about through the wwf. we are both ambassadors for them. he was working on a project

called our planet. and i got invited out to the massai mara to go photograph him and the rest of the crew filming, so i got to see behind the scenes and meet sir david, photograph him out in the mara, which was absolutely incredible. from then, i've been all over the world with him. conor, good to meet you. i'm jono from yorkshire wildlife trust, welcome to wild ingleborough. what a day. wild ingleborough is like a landscape—scale restoration project. so this fantastic mountain here, it's got some great wildlife on it but sadly there's big areas that are not hospitable for wildlife, really, so what we're trying to do is connect up these little fragments around the mountainside by doing things like we see here, so putting some trees back in the landscape. we need more habitat

back on this mountain, to allow wildlife to flourish again, so all those species that need woodland and scrubland to live. also, it's a great way to capture carbon from the atmosphere. hold that there, so i can get a close—up of it. to come and visit a project like this, not far from home, it's really special. and to be so involved with it — i got to plant a tree today, which is really cool. i'm definitely going to come back and visit.

it's been a long time. glad to be back? yeah, its weird. it feels strange but i'm looking forward to it. are you excited? yeah, i m excited. i've not seen them yet. big reveal, here you go, conor. amazing. i love that. that's sick. that's the closest i'll ever get to being on the football team! yeah, cool. ready? right, we'll do it down here. all right, cool. can you just sit down? let's try that. i like the lighting on it.

little bit of fine tuning and it should be all right. which one of you is the better footballer? definitely me. is it? are you guys having that? you're not having it. who is the better one, then? me. yeah? cool, i think i'm done in here. let's go do some shots outside on the pitch. that was sick! there you go, topping it over the bar. i think being in a team you learn a lot of life skills that help you along the way. it's definitely helped me. even being on a pitch in pe classes helped me touring with some of the world's biggest artists in the world, you know? a tour is essentially a team of people and you've got to figure out how to work with people and deal with people and things like that, and i think it's an essential skill to have, learning how to be in a team, so that's that's why i decided to sponsor it this year. fantastic! that's my favourite one of you. nice action shot.

it should be a close game. go on. get in! i remember a conversation outside the sixth form block on a cold, miserable morning. talking about going to gigs, cos it's what you had a passion for. and i remember you being upset you couldn't get in to see one of your favourite bands, the subways, and you were telling me how you were going to do everything you could do to get in there. and look where you've ended up now. and that is a real lesson for our kids, that if you get up off your backside and go make things happen, take your chance, put yourself out there, who knows where you can end up in the future. it's a great story — it's one i tell to my pupils. that makes me really proud. that's cool.

great game. what was the actual final score? 7-1. 7-1! cool, i think my kit might have been a nice lucky charm. it's an honour to have been able to do this for the school and for the team. i feel really proud to have been able to do that for them. today is the day. it's early morning. i've got a few more things to pack in my bag. get that sorted, then i'm off to the airport, to get on a flight to go to america for the first time in almost two years.

so i've landed. i am on american soil. dance music plays i'm so excited to be back out photographing music and being at live events again. ijust love it, so it's so good to be back.

it didn't take that many vehicles to block the business land border crossing in canada. but it is taking hours for police to clear the ambassador bridge blockade. for the moment, the officers are trying negotiation tactics to try and get protesters to leave peacefully after six days of demonstrations. their message that the tried to send from the very beginning has clearly lost its way and i don't think the people here, notjust the police, but the people in our community or on the other side of the border are hearing it any more. who are you protecting? with a vital trade route interrupted, the province of ontario declared a state of emergency on friday the plot in penalties like heavy fines and possible jail time for those participating in the blockades. that came into force hours later, alongside a court granted injunction to remove the protesters. it took just days for the blockade on the ambassador bridge to put a squeeze on the supply chains and car makers on both sides of the border. it is an economic link between the us and canada. hundreds of millions of dollars in trade cross

the border there each day. copycat protests in europe and around the world have sprung up in recent weeks with the supporters calling for an end to covid—19 restrictions. this is grassroots people with their children and grandparents and parents coming together and saying my rights and my freedoms are being infringed and denied here. drop the band—aids, we go home. 15 minutes we are gone. facing growing pressure from the white house and at home, the prime ministerjustin trudeau made this vow on friday. so make no mistake, the border cannot and will not remain closed. but despite efforts to get dug in protesters to leave, demonstrations continue nationwide. protests in ottawa are entering their third weekend now with demonstrators and their trucks continuing to block much of the city centre. government officials are meeting to discuss these ongoing protests, but for the moment, there is no clear end in sight. jessica murphy, bbc news, 0ttawa.

but dozens of countries, including the uk, have told their citizen's to leave the country. we can speak now to 0llenner ponnermarenko, a teacher who lives in ukraine. good morning to you and thank you for being with us on bbc breakfast. talk to me a bit about where you are because i'm told you are 40 kilometres away from the border. give me a sense of how things feel there this morning.— give me a sense of how things feel there this morning. good morning, ben. it is there this morning. good morning, item it is a — there this morning. good morning, ben. it is a beautiful— there this morning. good morning, ben. it is a beautiful bright - there this morning. good morning, ben. it is a beautiful bright dare i ben. it is a beautiful bright dare here _ ben. it is a beautiful bright dare here today but we can feel tension because _ here today but we can feel tension because we are very close to the border— because we are very close to the border with russia. anything that you are _ border with russia. anything that you are interested to hear. give me a sense of— you are interested to hear. give me a sense of what _ you are interested to hear. give me a sense of what people _ you are interested to hear. give me a sense of what people there - you are interested to hear. give me a sense of what people there in - a sense of what people there in your town are feeling because we are told the defence secretary here saying it feels increasingly likely that an invasion will take place. what are

control of events when we chose to russia has taken full advantage so history has a repeating itself. i have felt a lone voice in last weeks and months are saying we need to wake up to this. we had no single western leader that is leading it. no united resolution, no appetite to seriously alter due to an's behaviour. without a collective western strategy to widely handle russia's aggression, i'm afraid we are entering a very, very dark chapterfor european are entering a very, very dark chapter for european security. find chapter for european security. and what ou chapter for european security. and what you put _ chapter for european security. and what you put that western weakness down to? we have seen french diplomacy and action, french and british, and yet there is no unified message. ts british, and yet there is no unified messare. , ., ., ., , ., message. is that? for a number of reasons. message. is that? for a number of reasons- i — message. is that? for a number of reasons. ithink— message. is that? for a number of reasons. i think we _ message. is that? for a number of reasons. i think we are _ message. is that? for a number of reasons. i think we are bruised - reasons. i think we are bruised after afghanistan. america has absent itself from the international stage. that is where i would

normally encourage britain to step forward. that is what happened a couple of times last century stop but we have now leveraged on the table. there is no alliance, no hard power, no collective resolve to sound up to russia. we have offered to tactical responses. britain has done more than most. the nato bar of support has been very poor indeed. putin has really enjoyed the spotlight. he wants to be taken seriously. he is still angry that the soviet union has collapsed and he sees nato as the oppressor. he wants to tilt his country away from looking at the west towards east, towards china. any sanctions we pose will actually help him with his cause. we have become too timid, we need to wake up. the cause. we have become too timid, we need to wake up— cause. we have become too timid, we need to wake up. the government says the prime minister _ need to wake up. the government says the prime minister has _ need to wake up. the government says the prime minister has been _ need to wake up. the government says the prime minister has been deeply - the prime minister has been deeply engaged throughout, one of the first leaders to raise concerns about russian hostilities. what more should they reminisce to raise concerns about russian hostilities.

we are seeing international security changes as russia and china has aligned. the world is going to slide towards to fears of competing geopolitical influences that can easily lead to some form of cold war certainly but also conflict as well. that is the trajectory we need to wake up to but all countries have been distracted because of various domestic events such as covid as well. it is time to wake up and time to work together. nato needs to remember what it was created for, for european security. we should have put a nato division in ukraine and put a no—fly zone over ukraine and put a no—fly zone over ukraine and we should be defending this country are not allowed to be taken over by russia as happened after munich in the last century. although russia's perspective _ munich in the last century. although russia's perspective on _ munich in the last century. although russia's perspective on it _ munich in the last century. although russia's perspective on it and - munich in the last century. although russia's perspective on it and this i russia's perspective on it and this is what russia will be hearing which is what russia will be hearing which is about not protecting and it is

over a region and are forces that have already taken overa region and ukrainian are forces that have already taken over a region and ukrainian army cannot push them out. it will be very difficult indeed and it depends on how far putin wants to push into the country. he could simply go in and take one area and call it a win and take one area and call it a win and that would be simple for putin to do and have that buffer between an eventual expansion of nato or the eu but ultimately there will be followed. oil and gas prices will shoot up as food prices will go up and there will be chaos in ukraine and there will be chaos in ukraine and probably some form of migration issue as well. and this is all because we were not strong enough to but a nato division and stand up to putin and recognise that this is a cuban missile crisis moment. mann; cuban missile crisis moment. many thanks forjoining _ cuban missile crisis moment. many thanks forjoining us _ cuban missile crisis moment. many thanks forjoining us this _ cuban missile crisis moment. many thanks forjoining us this morning from bournemouth. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. not here. there will be snow a

little bit in the scottish mountains but beijing has seen snow in the sports reports. for us sky is falling and plenty of it. it is a day to hunker down, snuggle on the sofa and sit and watch the winter olympics from home. we have windy conditions across southern areas. the stream of cloud pushing it through the day and overnight is an area of low pressure which is already producing rain in ireland and into wales and western parts of the uk that has now moved into parts of southern scotland. a dry start to east anglia and we will see rain working its way into the best part of the day is over the coming hours. the rain washes into scotland and will be persistent in the south and central areas and it is easing off in northern ireland and outbreaks of rain and pushing into england and wales and could give high totals in the brecon beacons with the risk of flooding and aided by strong winds in the south. lighter winds in the north and in the further north of

scotland will enjoy the best of the day overall with a dry and brightest of robert ascension will be hazy. winds coming from the south and temperatures above be for this time of year. initially we have those mild conditions in east anglia and the south east with outbreaks of rain but notice how the rain switches to a more northerly direction later on in bringing chilly conditions. most is frost free tonight though with too much cloud around to take us into monday morning. this low pressure is still with us and it is pushing its way slowly but once it goes we introduced the wind coming in from the north and so a chillier field tomorrow once again. areas of cloud pushing its way south but rain is fairly showery in nature so it will come and go and simply sustain dry. dry conditions in the north and west in the afternoon but the showers here would be in the wintry side and a mixture of hail, sleet and snow and it will feel cooler as the day goes on particularly in the north of scotland. chilly not to follow as a

system works this way in and we will see snow in scotland and interning back to rain and sunshine and showers and rain in the south of england and wales and in blustery conditions but as we go into the middle part of the week it could be a good deal windier but it would be much milder as well. that's how it's looking. way too nippy for me, matt. kurt zouma is once again expected to be in the west ham starting line up when they play leicester in the premier league later — that's despite the criticism that been aimed at him and the club after the defender was filmed kicking his cat. zouma's been fined two weeks wages — that's around £250,000 — and the club says the money will be donated to animal charities. the west ham manager david moyes has been criticised for picking zouma, but he's defended his decisions. yes, he's available play against leicester. it's different views, different opinions and should

he be available or not. we as a club took the decision that we make him available and i stand by that. i don't think a club could have taken more action any quicker than what they have done at the moment. west ham have done a really good job, they find him the maximum wages and i am not condoning him, his actions were terrible. we all accepted they were diabolical and nobody has like them. but we have chosen to play him and we stand by that. we're joined now by football journalist and co—founder of the 'we are west ham' podcast, will pugh. good to see you this morning. what is the feel among fans? split good to see you this morning. what is the feel among fans?— is the feel among fans? split now. i think the more _ is the feel among fans? split now. i think the more time _ is the feel among fans? split now. i think the more time has _ is the feel among fans? split now. i think the more time has gone - is the feel among fans? split now. i think the more time has gone and l think the more time has gone and there _ think the more time has gone and there is— think the more time has gone and there is a — think the more time has gone and there is a real split among fans and some _ there is a real split among fans and some people want to see the issue behind _ some people want to see the issue behind us — some people want to see the issue behind us for the team and for the supporters— behind us for the team and for the supporters to be able to focus on football — supporters to be able to focus on football and others feel a little bit uncomfortable about the sense

for an oscar. affairs of the art was six years in the making, and was completely hand drawn and produced by a couple in cardiff. they call the film their "labour of love", and nicola smith has been to meet them. the nominees for best animated short film, i affairs of the heart. what? she laughs the moment everything changed forjoanna and les. it was wonderful, it was — we had convinced ourselves that we weren't going to be nominated. so it was a complete... it was anxiety to ecstasy. yes. and it's all thanks to beryl. all i ever wanted to dol was to go to art school. be creative... she's a factory worker who loves art and it's hard not to be entirely charmed by her. joanna certainly is. she's been drawing beryl since college. this is where she created tens of thousands of images of beryl and her family for the film.

it's a lot of work, you know... because we still use pencil and paper. and digital takes over after that but most people work digitally throughout the process so they don't have original artwork any more. so that's one of the reasons why... is a really nice to have original artwork. and that's one of the reasons why we are really pleased to get nominated because in this world of digital shininess, it's a hand—drawn film. boxes of drawings for affairs of the art line the walls here. les wrote and produced it, joanna drew the story. all helped by a group of university graduates. a six year long labour of love made in cardiff. the characters are welsh, the films are welsh, we made them in wales, so they are very welsh and we are quite chuffed with that. this film has already won many awards around the world and you won't be surprised to know that these two talented film—makers have already been oscar nominees and have emmys and baftas

to their name as well. but now, hollywood calls. we've got to go twice, the first time's for the luncheon and then we have to get back very quickly because we are going to the british animation awards, this is all in the same week, and then the baftas. what if i done with my life? l i could have gone to art school, l been somebody, been a contender. there's one last very important question to ask. what would beryl make of it all? she would love it, she'd be wafting down that were red carpet. "look at me!" a whirlwind few days forjoanna, les and beryl of course and to bring an oscar home to wales they say would be just brilliant. nicola smith, bbc news. 0h, oh, i 0h, ilove oh, i love that. hope they get one to add to that cabinet. a pretty packed a cabinet already. tt to add to that cabinet. a pretty packed a cabinet already. it was 'ust packed a cabinet already. it was just gorgeous — packed a cabinet already. it was

you can dive for the line like that or you can pirouette like this. with the weight of the forwards behind him, tomas francis. half—time, 14—14. now look at finn russell's arm here. the officials decided the scottish player knocked the ball on deliberately — yellow card. so scores level but wales with a man advantage. dan biggar, in his 100th international, tried the drop goal. scores the points that put wales in front! the match—winning points. yeah, wales are back. it's been a really difficult week — we've had to put up with a lot of flak, and rightly so, but to come back here with this crowd, put on a show like that, just roll our sleeves up, it's one of my best victories in my 100. in paris, france scored against ireland afterjust 67 seconds. antoine dupont.

but don't take your eyes off this for a moment. france did. mack hansen watched the ball right into his hands — and to the line. france landed penalties, ireland kept going with the tries, cutting the french lead to just a point at one point. but with a crashing run and an outstretched arm, france stayed ahead — just. commentator: a try, surely, for france? - yes, says the referee. and watch the referee tumble but turn his eyes to the line. brilliant. it's two matches, two wins for france. joe wilson, bbc news. later today it will be england taking on italy in rome. let's head off to the winter olympics in bejing, kat downes is there for us. you expect one thing, some snow. and it is finally arrived.— it is finally arrived. yeah, not at this time of— it is finally arrived. yeah, not at this time of year _ it is finally arrived. yeah, not at this time of year in _ it is finally arrived. yeah, not at this time of year in beijing - this time of year in beijing actually _ this time of year in beijing actually. this is quite unusual. to wake _ actually. this is quite unusual. to wake up — actually. this is quite unusual. to wake up to— actually. this is quite unusual. to wake up to this blanket of snow has been _ wake up to this blanket of snow has been quite — wake up to this blanket of snow has been quite a surprise this morning. we don't _ been quite a surprise this morning. we don't get many athletes coming

to develop and one has done so recently and it is there's this area of cloud working its way across the uk and it breaks best in the far north of scotland in the sunshine will be a bit on the hazy side but already we have seen the wet weather push across much of ireland and wales and then across the western half of england. the east anglian south east region and channel islands will be dry but a lot more clout than yesterday and that cloud will thicken later and ranges on for much of this morning and early afternoon and western wales and heavier in the brecon beacons and rainy in northern ireland but in scotland it is going to linger for the rest of the day so not a pleasant day here. windsor further north are lighter in the south but we will see rain and strong to gale force winds in east anglia and the south east later. it will be a 9-11 . south east later. it will be a 9—11 . southerly winds to end the day and outbreaks of rain overnight and anglian south east and dry weather then with a few showers

developing overnight and in the morning and noticed a wind direction changes and coded direction as we head into the start of monday and the chance of frost with. .. head into the start of monday and the chance of frost with... was start the morning and weak frost free but an area of low pressure pulling away which will be replaced by an area of high pressure and so showers abundantly in the morning will ease off in the west and into the afternoon but it is england and wales which are cloudy at times in the first half of monday and outbreaks pushing its way southwards and in the showers in... in winds are strong in the eastern coast to make it feel chilly and these temperatures would suggest that. things will turn milder as we go through the week and monday into tuesday will be tentative with frost and then outbreaks of rain southwards and snow in the scottish hills and sunshine and wintry showers with cloud and rain spreading in the south on tuesday afternoon but the wettest and windiest conditions will be on wednesday and thursday for this area of low pressure but in the southern edge of it we will see very high

temperatures for the stage in february and widely temperatures into the teens with 15 or 16 degrees for the high before turns colder again later in the day. back to you. time for the latest technology news. can you hear me? hello? yes, can you hear me? are you muted? no, are you frozen? all i'm getting is me back. i can hear me. hang on... sorry! hang on! what have you done? have you dropped the phone? yeah, sorry. i can hear you now. hello? you've got me? yes, there we go.

i'm more used to talking to you like this than in real life now. yeah, and i'm more used to talking to you while you're walking up and down wherever you're going. did you know that a fifth of all zoom meetings last year took place while people were walking and running? and i reckon that's all you. all me — just think of the steps! but many people have been doing it a bit more horizontally. don't know what you're talking about! but listen, love 'em or hate 'em, these platforms really have kept us together during these tough times, haven't they? and i don't think they're going away any time soon. it is some way towards seeing people properly, but of course it is not the same, especially with strangers, it can be a bit awkward. yeah, you think of the people that have joined the click team in the last couple of years. i mean, for a long time, they didn't know how tall we were, they'd only ever seen us from the waist up, they couldn't enjoy our sparkling company in person! lara chuckles but this is something that the big tech companies are addressing, and some of them are coming up with completely new ways to collaborate online. here comes osman iqbal with more.

hi! one thing is certain — the future of work is hybrid, which means we need to start working out how to best collaborate between the real and virtual worlds. for nearly two years now, i've seen my colleagues on this screen. but that's so 2021! because, brace yourself...for holograms. this is cisco's webex hologram. i just need to put on this headset and a life—sized cullenjennings, who's based over 4,000 miles away, will appear in my study. hello there, cullen! hey, good to see you, oz! how are you doing? i'm very well! so, it turns out that it's pretty hard to record a 3d hologram for tv. those black pixels around cullen weren't actually there during the call. you can go grab it here too as well and move it around. just reach out and grab it. 0h, get out! right, i've got it! i've got it! it's in my world!

i don't know if this will ever came across on screen. in a way, i should be amazed by the hologram. see that — see that is cool, that is. but really, it was the passing of those cad objects — that's the thing — the thing that really blew me away. it's one of the areas that i think this will be used a lot is when you're trying to do these design reviews, understand what people are building, see something, see a part that you were designing and those types of issues. we are betting on the hologram as being the next big kind of immersive medium of communication. just for ease, to kind of help you out, make it a bit smaller. there you go. oop. what the hologram does is exactly the opposite of what others are working on, for example, with avatars, but what you want to do is make it very photorealistic, you want to make it very lifelike. wasn't expecting that. there we go. oh, that's terrifying! and what the technology that we're talking about and that we're working on does

is fundamentally levels the playing field, so that an individual in a village in bangladesh has the same opportunity as someone in the heart of central london. say hi to auntie! oh, my gosh! i love you! and with other concepts like google's project starlight in the works, holograms may be with us sooner than we think. but for most of us, video calls will remain as our standard way of communicating, so nvidia have been using artificial intelligence to solve those day—to—day problems. and staring at a screen during an endless meeting is definitely an issue, so gaze correction can make it appear like you're always looking straight ahead — something that seems minor, but is actually really important. let's say you're in an interview and you want to sneakily read some notes. or even in a not—too—interesting meeting,

you can just look like you're paying attention. right. left. another obsession sweeping through the tech world is the photorealistic avatar. this handsome chap can even track my expressions in real time. it freaks me out a bit, but let's see what the team thinks. have you ever seen max headroom from the '805? i have not. i recommend you check it out because you're basically him. but those rugged good looks may be intimidating for some. yeah, i'd rathertalk to real people, i think. call me traditional! and whilst not as sci—fi, one vitally important thing that nvidia claims they perfected is removing all the background noise when we're talking on calls, no matter where we are.

siren wails i persuaded the company to let me try this in the wild. fire engines, 0k! anotherfire engine! bus engine hums: all right, richard, there is a big bus going by — can you hear me? 0k. no bus noise: all right, richard, there's a big bus going by — can you hear me? now i hear only you! you keep saying there's all this noise, but i don't hear it! the smart gallery creates individual video feeds... but the big question is — what's zoom doing? their focus is now on using hardware to create hybrid video—calling solutions, like installing cameras in meeting rooms to enable in—person and remote participants to interact. right, and that's our mindset at zoom. it's like, you know, you can come up with a marketing video that talks about the metaverse and says, you know, the world's all going to be holograms some day, but what are you doing for me today? chuckles i have real problems right now

that i need help with and ijust want to be able to talk to my colleagues around the world, whether i'm in the office or i'm at home. can you help me with that? you know, rewind back a few years ago and it was — mindset was "i have to be in that room to be effective" and remote people are second—class citizens, it's very challenging to break in, to be heard. it's...they mayjust forget about me up on the wall. and now, it's reversed again, so how do i maintain my individuality when i'm in a group meeting space? where am i? where are you? over here. - come with me. but maybe we don't need avatars and virtual reality to get back that real—life office feeling. it could be as simple as this retro—looking platform, gather, where you can wander around and bump into colleagues. so, in the right virtual setting, maybe the chaos of office life can live on. half of my team

have disappeared. can i interrupt this meeting to point out we've just found there's a rooftop bar. crosstalk hello! so, am not i allowed to lock the doors? 0k, admittedly, this is a pretty sweet gig — see what i did there? the average american gobbles over 20 litres of ice cream per year, compared to the paltry seven for us brits. so i've come to the suburbs of boston to set the record straight. i'm actually here to see a new type of appliance reminiscent of those coffee pod machines advertised by george clooney. wouldn't change a thing. now, the way this works is that each pod has its own unique qr code, and when i put it into the machine, a camera scans it and tells the machine what the product is — if it's a cocktail, a coffee or an ice cream — how long it should freeze it for,

and to what consistency. we're all set up for all kinds of stuff within the same space. andrea has invited me to the test kitchen to conjure up my very own flavour. oh... it's good. yeah? yeah. i mean... what would you do to make it better? you can't improve this. you can't improve it? this is going straight to the shops. we're done. the ones that have been a struggle or challenge has been the smoothies, because we want them to be healthy. we're adding nutraceuticals, which are like plant — food ingredients that have benefit — nutritional benefit. creating a combination that tastes good, that's healthy, that's shelf—stable is a challenge. cold snap aims to overhaul the frozen treat industry from how food's made, to how it's stored, to how it's shovelled down my throat. the way ice cream is made today, it's frozen in the factory, it's kept frozen in the grocery store, you rush it home, you keep it frozen in your freezer. all the while, you're putting energy and cost into that pint of ice cream before you consume it. there's a lot of carbon emissions associated with that that's going up into the atmosphere. our technology, with cold snap,

we just freeze it when we need it, and so, we think we can reduce the carbon emissions associated with making ice cream by, like, anywhere from 50% to 75%. it could mean less waste, but will come with a hefty price tag of around $2,000 — or £1,500 — but is initially aimed at the commercial sector. cheers. everything has been designed from scratch, right down to the unique caps on the pods. we wanted absolutely no ice cream touching the machine. we wouldn't be able to use a regular soda can style, so we developed our own top. the aluminium cans are important because they can be recycled, but they also allow for good heat transfer, so the liquid inside can be chilled quickly on demand. by being able to churn the ice cream and draw air into the can as it's freezing, you can actually create the ice cream. at the risk of stating the obvious, the technology actually affects the taste of the ice cream. we're intentionally making

the ice crystals smaller than anything you can buy on the market today. so it's — in addition to being 14% buttermilk fat, we control the ice crystal size, and you essentially get a very dense, thick, creamy dessert. i guess you could say the proof is in the...pudding? but is this one machine too far in the age of convenience? do we really need this? then again, do we really need ice cream and frozen cocktails? 0hhh, it's been a tough day. oh, it's enough to make you feel hungry, isn't it? 0hhh. and, conveniently, we can eat something now, because that's it for the shortcut. the full—length version of the programme can be found on iplayer. and don't forget you can check us out on social media any time you fancy. we live on youtube, facebook, instagram and twitter — @bbcclick. thanks for watching. and we'll see you soon. bye— bye.

restrictions as soon as possible and i think that this intervention also signals a shift that the government is going to be taking more of a back seat and that businesses, communities and individuals themselves will have to take more personal responsibility, which will be music to the ears of many backbenchers, certainly on the conservative side. of course, this coming week, borisjohnson will be doing a tour of the uk talking about the government was not levelling up agenda so expect to see plenty of pictures of him wearing hard hats and also images of new manufacturing centres across the country. he will also be hoping to leave behind those rows about downing street parties and of course that questionnaire he has been asked to fill in by the metropolitan police about those events. : ., , ,, ., , events. another big week for number ten. events. another big week for number ten- protests — events. another big week for number ten. protests advanced _ events. another big week for number ten. protests advanced covid - ten. protests advanced covid regulations _ ten. protests advanced covid regulations are _ ten. protests advanced covid regulations are continuing i ten. protests advanced covid regulations are continuing in | ten. protests advanced covid - regulations are continuing in canada where traffic has been brought to a standstill at a key trading route with united states.— standstill at a key trading route

call lethal aid to ukraine. across eastern europe, nato is bolstering its defences. these are british forces on the poland—belarus border. and russian concerns about nato in eastern europe are not new. we will also have to look about those missile installations in romania, poland or anywhere. on nato, russia is looking to the future and the past. it wants nato to promise that ukraine will neverjoin and it wants nato to withdraw its military deployments of recent years from eastern europe. there's no chance of either demand being met, and to understand why we need to go back to the aftermath of the second world war. nato was set up in 1949 by 12 countries. their mission was to secure peace in europe, to promote cooperation among its members and to guard their freedom. in reality, this meant countering the growing power of the soviet union.

and at the heart of nato's strategy to do this was and is article five. it says an attack on one member is considered an attack on all of them. the idea is collective defence. and now with 30 members, nato continues to state its purpose. together, we are 50% of the world's military might and economic might, so as long as we stand together in nato, north america and europe, we are all safe. in recent years, though, nato's purpose has been questioned. donald trump said the us might leave. emmanuel macron said nato was "brain dead". there are also questions of commitment. some nato members are behind on nato's military spending targets. and then there's afghanistan. in response to the 9/11 attacks, nato triggered its article five. nato members supported america's attack on al-qaeda and the taliban. 20 years later, the us chose to leave afghanistan unilaterally with nato members left to follow suit. for this, and for other reasons too, as the bbc�*s katya adler notes, the longevity of the current show of unity between western allies isn't guaranteed. now, whether russia sees that as a chance, we can't know.

some argue this crisis has galvanised the nato alliance. but what's clear is that nato's expansion has angered vladimir putin. translation: "we won't move one inch towards the east," _ they told us in the 1990s. and what happened? they deceived us. they brazenly tricked us. that claim is disputed. nato's expansion, though, is not. the countries here in purple joined before 1997. since then, the 14 in a yellow had their request to join accepted. many of them are former soviet states. five share a border with russia. moscow sees all of this as a major threat to its security. translation: the continuation of nato's open border policy - and further movement towards our borders is exactly what threatens us. nato is not a development institution, it is an instrument of confrontation. it's quite obvious that its expansion poses a threat to us.

russia doesn't see nato as defensive. it sees it as an extension of american power. it sees its very existence as a reduction of russian power. and ukraine finds itself right in the middle of russian efforts to resist that. it shares borders with russia and the european union, and while it's not a nato member, it's what nato calls a partner country. that means it could join in the future. and russia is using its military to make clear that that mustn't happen. which brings the eu to this conclusion. we are living, to my understanding, the most dangerous moment for the security in europe after the end of the cold war. and in this dangerous moment, russia sees nato aggression, nato sees only defence. what we all see is nato and russia playing their part in a global power struggle where china is coming and america's superpower is being put to the test.

in a recent essay, tom mctague in the the atlantic... and nato it stands in the way of the new world that putin would like. that's why, whatever the rights and wrongs, the causes of this crisis and the outcome of it both connect to nato. so what is life like for british nationals currently living in ukraine? we can speak now to michael bosher and peter cribley. good morning to you. michael, how are things at the moment? t just are things at the moment? i 'ust heard that. �* are things at the moment? i 'ust heard that. actually, * are things at the moment? i 'ust heard that. actually, they h are things at the moment? ijust heard that. actually, they have i are things at the moment? ijust heard that. actually, they have been here forever. in the past two years, they have _ here forever. in the past two years, they have been here three times. two years— they have been here three times. two years ago. _ they have been here three times. two years ago, six months ago, the only difference _ years ago, six months ago, the only difference is — years ago, six months ago, the only difference is that it is more intense _ difference is that it is more intense. . , difference is that it is more intense. , , ., ., difference is that it is more intense. , ., intense. just explain how you ended u n intense. just explain how you ended u- livinr in intense. just explain how you ended

fringing into the southern half of scotland. it is moving northwards and eastwards. a few have got outdoorjobs planned, do the many morning because it is going to start raining here in the afternoon. it is on and offer the rest of the afternoon. heavy over the hills, and some of the brightest conditions in the afternoon across parts of central and southern scotland. northern ireland a little bit drier at times. maybe a bit of sunshine here and there in the irish sea. strongest of the winds, gales at times, to the south. up to 11 degrees. rains for a good part of the night across east anglia. that will come and go. elsewhere, some drier moments. notice the wind direction change. more of a northerly two parts of scotland and northern ireland tomorrow morning. where you get clear skies, there could be a bit of frost come a bit of ice around. tomorrow is the story

of ice around. tomorrow is the story of today's system clearing away, high pressure pushing its way in, so any showers across western areas will become fewer in number during the day, but we do start with lots of clouds tomorrow across england and wales. some brightness, the cloud thickens, scotland and northern ireland sunshine and showers. most prevalent in the morning. and wintry in nature across the hills as we see those temperatures drop. it will be a cold feeling a date by and large. after a colder night, we could see some snow across the scottish mountains on tuesday. sunshine and showers, the same in the far north of england. we will see our looping weather fronts down to the south. raining during the second half of the day. milder still. that looks into this next area of low pressure. the most significant one as we go into the next part of the week. gale force winds across parts of the north of

the uk. much milder air. temperatures could be into the mid—teams. the main story for this week, expect rain and wind at times. i noticed there was a lot of white stuff behind you on that big map. technical term. stuff behind you on that big map. technicalterm. is stuff behind you on that big map. technical term. is that likely to come our way? is there a bit of snow, or is that turning to rain? that is going to be snow for a time, particularly — that is going to be snow for a time, particularly in the scottish hills. it particularly in the scottish hills. it doesn't — particularly in the scottish hills. it doesn't feel like february. it is unusually— it doesn't feel like february. it is unusually mild throughout the week. we will— unusually mild throughout the week. we will take that. but it is a lot colder. i have been out on the bike this week and it is a bit nippy. t this week and it is a bit nippy. i will take the rain and wind this week and it is a bit nippy. t will take the rain and wind over how cold it has been. thank you, matt. back to our main story.

downing street says the prime minister will "respond as required" to a questionnaire from the metropolitan police about events he attended during lockdown. the force says it's asking around 50 people to explain why they were at gatherings whilst covid restrictions were in place. let's speak now to dr nick mckerrell, who is a senior lecturer in law at glasgow caledonian university. good morning to you. talk to me about these questionnaires. how normal are they and what are they having to find out? tt’s normal are they and what are they having to find out?— having to find out? it's pretty unusual to — having to find out? it's pretty unusual to question - having to find out? it's pretty. unusual to question somebody having to find out? it's pretty - unusual to question somebody via the medium _ unusual to question somebody via the medium of— unusual to question somebody via the medium of a — unusual to question somebody via the medium of a questionnaire any criminal— medium of a questionnaire any criminal investigation. normally if you are _ criminal investigation. normally if you are investigated for suspicion of being — you are investigated for suspicion of being part of a crime, you are accompanied, you get legal advice, you may— accompanied, you get legal advice, you may be — accompanied, you get legal advice, you may be even accompanied by a solicitor— you may be even accompanied by a solicitor when you are questioned by the police _ solicitor when you are questioned by the police. a questionnaire is obviously— the police. a questionnaire is obviouslyjust going into the ether, and then— obviouslyjust going into the ether, and then the person has to respond to it _ and then the person has to respond to it what— and then the person has to respond to it what i— and then the person has to respond to it. what i assume they are trying to it. what i assume they are trying to get— to it. what i assume they are trying to get from — to it. what i assume they are trying to get from this is similar to a normal— to get from this is similar to a normal investigation, when you speak to somebody directly. an interesting thin- to somebody directly. an interesting thing i_ to somebody directly. an interesting thing i think is, and i think the

prime — thing i think is, and i think the prime minister has spoken about this _ prime minister has spoken about this, about whether the form stipulates that somebody needs to .et stipulates that somebody needs to get legal advice before they fill out the — get legal advice before they fill out the form, which seems a bit strange — out the form, which seems a bit strange. the reason for that is that you and _ strange. the reason for that is that you and i. — strange. the reason for that is that you and i, we have human rights in that context — you and i, we have human rights in that context of the right to a fair trial and — that context of the right to a fair trial and legal representation, even when _ trial and legal representation, even when being questioned, so to do it in a questionnaire it's quite weird because — in a questionnaire it's quite weird because you don't have that interaction in the same way. so theoretically you could get no information from the questionnaire, because _ information from the questionnaire, because one of the rights you have .ot because one of the rights you have got when _ because one of the rights you have got when questioned by the police is the right— got when questioned by the police is the right to remain silent. so you could _ the right to remain silent. so you could return a blank form, i think, in a criminal— could return a blank form, i think, in a criminal investigation and it would _ in a criminal investigation and it would have waited behind it. so it is an— would have waited behind it. so it is an unusual thing to do in a criminal— is an unusual thing to do in a criminal investigation.- is an unusual thing to do in a criminal investigation. yes, and that in itself— criminal investigation. yes, and that in itself and _ criminal investigation. yes, and that in itself and your _ criminal investigation. yes, and that in itself and your answer i criminal investigation. yes, and i that in itself and your answer has prompted so many questions on my part. unusualto prompted so many questions on my part. unusual to send a questionnaire because there are a lot to send, so maybe this is a filtering exercise to work out who they might need to follow up with.

the tickets, by the way, are like $7,000. itjust feels like you're in the most exclusive nightclub in the history of the world. right? and you'll see the most famous people in the world sitting in the upper deck. with ticket prices like that, of course, not everyone can go. we are super excited to be going to the game on sunday. and how do they feel that you are going to get to go and you're not taking them? it's so unfair! so there's some conflict at home but we've told them that the super bowl is not for them, but that we are definitely going to take them to another game next season. catherine? with an audience that could exceed 100 million, super bowl commercials are huge star—studded affairs, with 30—second slots selling for millions. watch the coffee. and then, of course, there is the half—time show. # in the city... you got snoop dogg, maryj, dr dre, eminem and kendrick lamar.

it doesn't get any better than that. # guess who's back? i've been keeping it all the way are real. i'm not trying to be egotistical or anything like that, but who else could do this show here in la? mm—hm. no—one. that's a fact. who else could perform the half—time show other than these amazing artists that we've put together for this thing? but the spectacular is taking place in a city with rising crime and a homelessness crisis. many encampments have been cleared, leading to claims that some of the thousands living on the streets are being shoved into the shadows. this is a sense of community for them, and it may be hard for those of us that are housed to think through that, but there is a hierarchy, there are belongings. so when they're asked to move and they're forced out of that community, even if it is on the street, it creates additional trauma. whatever the costs, and the amount of money changing hands is monumental,

deliver from the stands onto the pitch and how it makes that whole nation feel. and i love wales, i love what they bring, i love that level of passion. that is why the six nations for me is the greatest rugby competition.— rugby competition. what is it like to nla rugby competition. what is it like to play against — rugby competition. what is it like to play against them? _ rugby competition. what is it like to play against them? feels - rugby competition. what is it like to play against them? feels like | to play against them? feels like nla inr at to play against them? feels like playing at altitude _ to play against them? feels like playing at altitude without - to play against them? feels like playing at altitude without being to play against them? feels like i playing at altitude without being at altitude. it has an effect on the referee, i think everyone in a negative sense actually, apart from the welsh players who are on the pitch. forthem, it is the welsh players who are on the pitch. for them, it is so uplifting, almost gladiatorial. these are the atmosphere, these are the stadiums that you want to be part of. and yesterday, after being written off last week, that is the drop goal to win the match. he was sensational and almost embodies the level of spirit wales were under this week. he says he loves to be written off but lets you find a way to be able to come back, and that is exactly

chelsea manager thomas tuchel said the credit had to go to roman abramovic, after they took the only honour they'd yet to secure under his ownership, the club world cup. they were level at 1—1 against brazilian side palmeiras after 90 minutes so it went to extra time — and kai havertz scored the winner from the penalty spot. they're only the fifth club to win every major competition. there was a huge crowd at the phoenix open golf — around 100,000 have been going each day this year — and it got a bit rowdy. especially when this happened — sam ryder's tee shot at the 16th hole. looking good. in it goes. ryder was ecstatic — he said "nothing compares to that, i'm still coming down, it was a blur, i can't describe it".

and it sent the spectators into a frenzy — bottles of beer were thrown onto the course — even the commentators struggled to stay dry. look at that. that is not what you expect from golf.— look at that. that is not what you expect from golf. well, you have and are rroin expect from golf. well, you have and are going to — expect from golf. well, you have and are going to the _ expect from golf. well, you have and are going to the golf _ expect from golf. well, you have and are going to the golf i _ expect from golf. well, you have and are going to the golf i have. - are going to the golf i have. because _ are going to the golf i have. because a problem and delayed the whole _ because a problem and delayed the whole operation and to clean it up. chipping _ whole operation and to clean it up. chipping the bare can of the green that's a different game. rflareat chipping the bare can of the green that's a different game.— that's a different game. great way to send that's a different game. great way to spend your— that's a different game. great way to spend your weekend _ that's a different game. great way to spend your weekend with - that's a different game. great way| to spend your weekend with holly. enjoy the rugby today. from white sharks to toads, the 2022 underwater photographer of the year competition has delivered an array of stunning visuals from beneath the surface. this year's winner is this stunning

muddy tracks and there is plenty of rain to come but overall it is what picture rather than snowy one. you can see the — picture rather than snowy one. you can see the rainfall chart for the week shows everywhere is affected by rain and the deeper blue and green show for the heaviest rain is and you can see the wind coming from the atlantic and that means that overall it will be of milder rather than a cold weekend with rain rather than snow. that's because thisjet cold weekend with rain rather than snow. that's because this jet stream that sprung to life in north america and these little dips and movements in the jet stream are creating these areas of cloud over the last 24 hours and it is this which is bringing rain. let's look at what's happening out there now. the extent of the rain is clear across much of northern ireland and there in through southern scotland and leicester in england and southern wells and particularly heavy on the hills of south wales and southern england. that rain will be pushing in through east anglia and while in

the afternoon it will get wetter and rainy through much of the day and rainy through much of the day and rain will ease off a bit in the western areas and may be a bit of brightness in the irish sea and into northern ireland but ashley in northern ireland but ashley in northern ireland but ashley in northern ireland as the winds will be lightest and you have the best of the day's weather and it would be hazy at times. temperatures are above where they should be at this time of year. tonight, rain continues to come and go on the east anglian southeast and eventually eases towards dawn and then there will be drier moments after and a northerly wind will develop and will bring colder air and a commute across there will be wintry showers and. a little ridge of high pressure pushing its way in which will ease off some of the showers and western areas as we go through the day. some of the driest and brightest weather tomorrow will be in central and southern scotland and later into northern england. cloud and outbreaks of rain will push southwards across much of england

through the day. rain will be sporadic and not everyone will see it but it is going to be a case of showers in the west become fewer in number and a showers in the west become fewer in numberand a bit showers in the west become fewer in number and a bit more in the way of sunshine and call wind and those eastern sections and temperatures 6-10 eastern sections and temperatures 6—10 and the will be the highs. the snow that comes our way will be on tuesday morning in the hills of scotland and followed by wintry showers here and there and into scotland and northern ireland and may be the hills of northern england but much of england and wales will be cloudy and further outbreaks of rain and something a bit milder with 11 or 12 degrees for some. and milder air comes into the middle part of the week because of this deep area of low pressure spreading to us and iceland and so expect this week with rain, strong winds, senior moments at times but mild before things turn colder again. all moments at times but mild before things turn colder again.— things turn colder again. all the tood things turn colder again. all the good stuff. _ things turn colder again. all the good stuff, the _ things turn colder again. all the good stuff, the cold _ things turn colder again. all the good stuff, the cold and - things turn colder again. all the good stuff, the cold and the - things turn colder again. all the i good stuff, the cold and the rain. | things turn colder again. all the | good stuff, the cold and the rain. thank you. definitely not whether for a cruise. you might think you

are going elsewhere. a holiday cruise around egypt — what could possibly go wrong? well, lots when it's part of an agatha christie plot. the 1937 novel, 'death on the nile' has been adapted by kenneth branagh for the big screen and is out now. let's take a look. the crime is murder. # should have hidden it, shouldn't you? - the murderer is one of you. i don't feel safe here. i don't feel safe with any of them. # it's too late to change events, i it's time to face the consequence... i have investigated many crimes. but this... ..has altered the shape of my soul. i am detective hercule poirot and i will deliver your killer. we're nowjoined by agatha christie superfans jamie bernthal, hooker and kemper donovan.

who would say that they are the only poirot but what i like about this film as it is a new take on poirot and a new take on the agatha christie story but also grounded there in this very dark and escapist book which is about a love triangle and so it draws out that aspect of love and sexiness in places, which you don't necessarily associate with agatha christie, but i really enjoy branagh's betrayal of poirot and he doesn't take too seriously and at the moment we need that sort of cinema. . . the moment we need that sort of cinema. , ., ., the moment we need that sort of cinema. , . ., , ., ,, cinema. yes, and a bit of escapism, somewhere — cinema. yes, and a bit of escapism, somewhere warm — cinema. yes, and a bit of escapism, somewhere warm in _ cinema. yes, and a bit of escapism, somewhere warm in summer- cinema. yes, and a bit of escapism, somewhere warm in summer that i cinema. yes, and a bit of escapism, - somewhere warm in summer that looks like a holiday. and, camper, you mentioned kenneth branagh's murder on the orient express, what is his enduring appeal, not only for an agatha christie film but a murder mystery and we love to follow them, don't we? ., , , ., ., .,
