hello, i'm nuala mcgovern. you're watching context on bbc news. russia claims it's pulling back some troops from the border with ukraine. the west though remains sceptical. prince andrew settles out of court, with the woman who accused him in a civil case, of sexual assault. know that novak djokovic tells the bbc he would rather not win any more trophies than be forced to take a covid—19 vaccine. and we have the contacts with conservative peers and of her adviser to hillary clinton.

—— a former adviser. president biden hasjust been speaking about the crisis in ukraine. he said: the united states and nato are not a threat to russia, ukraine is not a threat to russia, ukraine is not a threat to russia, ukraine is not a threat to russia. we do not have plans to put them there as well. we are not targeting the people of russia. we do not seek to destabilise russia. to the citizens of russia, you are not our enemy. and i do not believe you want a bloodied, destructive war against ukraine, a country with people to whom you share deep ties with. russia says some troops have moved away from the ukrainian border. the defence ministry says some of the thousands of troops positioned there are returning

to bases after completing drills. this was the response from the head of the nato military alliance. so far, we have not seen any de—escalation on the ground from the russian side. over the last weeks and days, we have seen the opposite. continued military build—up with more troops, more battalions, more high—end capabilities, artillery and missiles and a lot of support elements. it may be several days until we know for sure whether russian troops are being withrawn. what we do know is that more than 100,000 russian troops have massed at ukraine's border. these red dots show where they are located. we also know large scale military drills are ongoing. these pictures are from crimea — the region russia annexed from ukraine in 2014. we had this assessment from prime minister borisjohnson earlier.

we are seeing russian openness to conversations. but the intelligence we are seeing today is still not encouraging. we still have russian field hospitals been constructed near the border with ukraine and belarus and a can only be construed as a preparation for an invasion. more battalion tactical groups closer to the border. and according to the intelligence that we are seeing. mixed signals, i think, to the intelligence that we are seeing. mixed signals, ithink, at the moment. mixed signals or not, diplomacy with russia continues. this is germany's chancellor meeting vladimir putin in moscow today. olaf scholz said war in europe was unthinkable, but diplomacy wasn't exhausted. president putin was asked in a news conference if he could exclude the possibility of war in europe.

of course, we do not wanted and this is exactly why we put forward a proposal to start the negotiation process. with the result should be in agreement of ensuring equal security of everyone, including our country. unfortunately, there was no constructive response to this proposal. another development. ukraine's cybersecurity centre says the defence ministry and two local banks have been targeted by a cyber attack. this was the ukrainian defence ministry's website earlier. this says "the site is under maintenance" in ukrainian. let's speak to our cyber reporterjoe tidy talk us through what we know about the cyber attack. this talk us through what we know about the cyber attack.— the cyber attack. this is a d dos attack. the cyber attack. this is a d dos attack- what _ the cyber attack. this is a d dos attack. what that _ the cyber attack. this is a d dos attack. what that means -

the cyber attack. this is a d dos attack. what that means it - the cyber attack. this is a d dos attack. what that means it is - the cyber attack. this is a d dos attack. what that means it is a l attack. what that means it is a distributed denial of service attack and some people think it is such a low level hacking that it really shouldn't be described as a cyber attack. essentially what you're doing is using a network of computers to flood a web server with requests which bring down a website. i liken it to if you're trying to buy a ticket to the music festival in the uk, the minute that the tickets are on sale, so many people flood the website that it goes down. it's like that. that is what that attack is. and what we are seeing is attack is. and what we are seeing is a widespread case of d dos attacks against multiple different websites. thanks, websites of all gone down. and that doesn't necessarily mean that there's any real attacks taking place against the data, on the back end of the website, it's merely that they're being taken down so people cannot look at them. of course, it is very serious in some cases where people are not able to use their banks that have been affected and

there will be information bulletins at the ministry of defence may be making out that they cannot see. so it's not the sort of cyber attack that we should be worried about. this is not the start of any cyber offensive against ukraine. it is something unfortunately that the ukrainians are used too. they have been under a constant barrage of d dos attacks for years now and there was one injanuary dos attacks for years now and there was one in january that took down dos attacks for years now and there was one injanuary that took down a lot of websites as well. although it is a concern, it is not something that people are getting particularly worried about. joe. that people are getting particularly worried about.— worried about. joe, thank you so much forjoining _ worried about. joe, thank you so much forjoining us _ worried about. joe, thank you so much forjoining us and - worried about. joe, thank you so much forjoining us and that - worried about. joe, thank you so much forjoining us and that is i worried about. joe, thank you so i much forjoining us and that isjust much forjoining us and that is just one of the conversations. let's turn to another to talk about the region thatis to another to talk about the region that is been part of this conflict since 2014. let's take a look together. the donbas is a region in the east of ukraine that includes lu ha nsk and donetsk. separatists, backed by moscow, seized parts of the region and at least 13,000 people have been killed there.

i'm joined by vitaly shevchenko from bbc monitoring, who has just returned from ukraine. great to have you with us. we have received that russian lawmakers have passed a direct appeal to vladimir putin to recognise the russian controlled separate states. explain to our viewers why that is significant.— to our viewers why that is significant. to our viewers why that is siunificant. ~ ., ., ., significant. well, from here on to o tions significant. well, from here on to options are _ significant. well, from here on to options are possible. _ significant. well, from here on to options are possible. first - significant. well, from here on to options are possible. first is - options are possible. first is putting in listens to russian lawmakers in saying that i will recognise those as independent which means a huge escalation in eastern ukraine and obstacle towards the peace process. secondly, if vladimir putin says no to the suggestion and

that will be presented by the media machine is goodwill on russia's part and will be used to reinforce the narrative that is been coming from moscow all the time that no, we are not planning to attack the ukraine. see, we're not even trying to recognise their independence because we want peace. find recognise their independence because we want peace-— we want peace. and has vladimir putin said that _ we want peace. and has vladimir putin said that specifically? - we want peace. and has vladimir putin said that specifically? and | putin said that specifically? and now they're _ putin said that specifically? fific now they're going to putin said that specifically? fific now they're going to see they putin said that specifically? e"ic now they're going to see they can recognise the tiny russian backed statements and is kind of evasive but my reading of this remark is that they did not seem too keen to do that. i that they did not seem too keen to do that. ~ ., i. �* that they did not seem too keen to do that. ~ ., ,, �* , that they did not seem too keen to dothat. ~ ., �* , do that. i know you're 'ust back from the ukraine _ do that. i know you're 'ust back from the ukraine but _ do that. i know you're just back from the ukraine but obviously| from the ukraine but obviously monitoring this very closely, but people telling you? fix, monitoring this very closely, but

ownership of companies and also take steps to stop russian companies from raising capital on the london financial markets. that is a very, very tough package of sanctions. it is ready to go if russia is so rash, so reckless as to invade the ukraine. . ~ so reckless as to invade the ukraine-— so reckless as to invade the ukraine. ., ,, ., , ukraine. ed, talk me through this. how london _ ukraine. ed, talk me through this. how london is _ ukraine. ed, talk me through this. how london is about, _ ukraine. ed, talk me through this. how london is about, they - ukraine. ed, talk me through this. how london is about, they talk - ukraine. ed, talk me through this. i how london is about, they talk about wandering dirty money is what the allegations are. do you think they'll actually be some real movement on this? i they'll actually be some real movement on this?- they'll actually be some real movement on this? ., , movement on this? i hope there will be in the way _ movement on this? i hope there will be in the way the _ movement on this? i hope there will be in the way the boris _ movement on this? i hope there will be in the way the boris johnson - movement on this? i hope there will be in the way the boris johnson was | be in the way the boris johnson was talking, _ be in the way the boris johnson was talking, this is — be in the way the boris johnson was talking, this is only— be in the way the boris johnson was talking, this is only those _ be in the way the boris johnson was talking, this is only those held - be in the way the boris johnson was talking, this is only those held in i talking, this is only those held in reserve _ talking, this is only those held in reserve as — talking, this is only those held in reserve as a _ talking, this is only those held in reserve as a threat _ talking, this is only those held in reserve as a threat to _ talking, this is only those held in reserve as a threat to the - talking, this is only those held in l reserve as a threat to the russians is the _ reserve as a threat to the russians is the most — reserve as a threat to the russians is the most effective _ reserve as a threat to the russians is the most effective way— reserve as a threat to the russians is the most effective way to - reserve as a threat to the russiansl is the most effective way to counter any is the most effective way to counter anv russian — is the most effective way to counter any russian invasion— is the most effective way to counter any russian invasion of— is the most effective way to counter any russian invasion of ukraine - any russian invasion of ukraine because — any russian invasion of ukraine because the _ any russian invasion of ukraine because the military _ any russian invasion of ukraine because the military conflict. any russian invasion of ukraine because the military conflict to| any russian invasion of ukraine . because the military conflict to be pretty— because the military conflict to be pretty unthinkable. _ because the military conflict to be pretty unthinkable. so, _ because the military conflict to be pretty unthinkable. so, the - pretty unthinkable. so, the most effective — pretty unthinkable. so, the most effective ways _ pretty unthinkable. so, the most effective ways to _ pretty unthinkable. so, the most effective ways to cut _ pretty unthinkable. so, the most effective ways to cut off- pretty unthinkable. so, the most

let's look at some of the other stories making headlines today. all remaining covid restrictions in northern ireland have been lifted. ministers at stormont say the spread of the omicron variant isn't putting significant pressure on hospitals. but there is a warning that covid, has not gone away. wales has become the first uk nation to announce it will offer all five to 11—year olds covid vaccinations. the senedd says it's following a "yet to be published" recommendation, from the uk'sjoint committee on vaccination and immunisation. an inquest into the death of the footballer, emiliano sala, has opened in bournemouth. the argentinian player died in 2019 when a plane carrying him from nantes in france to cardiff crashed in the english channel. a man who was sexually assaulted by three monks at a catholic boarding school in fife, has been awarded nearly 1.4 million pounds in damages. the man — referred to in court by the letters ab, attended st ninian's school in the 1980s.

novak djokovic says he would rather skip future tournaments than take the covid—19 vaccine. in his first interview since losing his legal battle to compete at the australian open, the world number one tennis player said he's not part of the anti—vaccine movement, but supports individuals' right to choose. our media editor, amol rajan, sat down with him in belgrade. what would you say to the ordinary australian listening to you now that's is based on what they see in the news, this guy thinks he is above the law? he thinks he does not have to abide by the same rules as everyone else?— everyone else? australia has been throu~h everyone else? australia has been through one _ everyone else? australia has been through one of _ everyone else? australia has been through one of the _ everyone else? australia has been through one of the most _ everyone else? australia has been through one of the most severe i through one of the most severe lectins events is the beginning of the pandemic. so i can only imagine how hard it was for australians and i sympathise and empathise with all of the people and i understand that

all coming up. hello there. some stormy weather lies ahead in the coming few days. it's likely we will see disruption and damage from some very strong winds brought initially by storm dudley on wednesday, and then hot on its heels, storm eunice on friday. already, there's an amber warning from the met office in force for dudley. now, it's developing out in the atlantic, but prior to that, we've seen bands of rain moving through during the day on tuesday. more rain to come as we go through the latter part of this evening across northern ireland, and then overnight into scotland, mainland parts of england and wales, sweeping eastwards and clearing for many parts by morning, but not before depositing several more centimetres of snow across the highlands of scotland. so it will be a hazard here. for many, a reasonable start to the day, it's dry and its bright away from the north of scotland, but once again, we will find rain

sweeping its way eastwards, some quite heavy bursts of rain turning to snow in that colder air in the north, and dank and drizzly further south as the winds start to strengthen. a very, very mild day across central and southern parts, but the story is the winds for the day on wednesday. from mid afternoon, gusting quite widely, 50 mph on storm dudley. the tightly packed isobars, as you can see, affecting all parts of the united kingdom. so although the met office warning for the strongest winds, light in this core through parts of scotland and northern ireland and northern england, within extreme parts, gusts of 80—90 mph, the effect will be felt more widely. so we could see trees being felled, power lines down, disruption and delay to transport, flying debris. so that's likely during the course of wednesday afternoon and into the evening, and then through the early hours of thursday morning, those winds start to ease a little bit. and actually, it looks like a quieter end to the day. the winds lighter, not completely gone away, but less strong, less disruptive, relatively mild and fewer showers, so some respite, but not for long, because we've got our next rapidly deepening area of low pressure, storm eunice coming in. now, this looks set to affect many parts of the united kingdom, some really tightly packed isobars,

and that powerful storm may well have more far—reaching effects because it's hitting very highly populated areas. and as well as that, we could have some significant snow and blizzards in the north. there are warnings out, the detail online. some really tightly packed isobars, and that powerful storm may well have more far—reaching effects because it's hitting very highly populated areas. and as well as that, we could have some significant snow and blizzards in the north. there are warnings out, the detail online.

megadrought in centuries — what was once considered a "worse case scenario", according to a new study published in the journal nature climate change. the study found the period from 2000 to 2021 was the driest in 1,200 years, and researchers said human—caused climate change has made the current megadrought 72% worse — conditions are not expected to get any better this year. and severe droughts can lead to severe fires. this was only yesterday in wise county, texas. a fire burnt through 300 acres of grassland — luckily no—one was hurt. but a herd of horses were sent fleeing for safety as they tried to escape the blaze and find some safety. park williams is a geographer at ucla, and was the lead author on the study. thank you forjoining us on the programme, i think you ducked out of

families and communities, and cities in the central valley. it has that really been a state—wide initiative or countrywide understanding? not yet, and that's why you do see lush gardens in northern california, even sometimes southern california, but you come to the central valley where people are literally running out of water and that really is where the rubber meets the road. until we all have the intensity and understanding, it is a hard issue to resolve right now. it’s understanding, it is a hard issue to resolve right now.— resolve right now. it's interesting because i think las _ resolve right now. it's interesting because i think las vegas - resolve right now. it's interesting because i think las vegas was . resolve right now. it's interesting | because i think las vegas was one resolve right now. it's interesting - because i think las vegas was one of the fastest growing cities in the united states, but without really a firm supply of water. is this something that governments around the world are thinking about or coming up with solutions? water to a certain extent — coming up with solutions? water to a certain extent is _ coming up with solutions? water to a certain extent is on _ coming up with solutions? water to a certain extent is on the _ coming up with solutions? water to a certain extent is on the front - coming up with solutions? water to a certain extent is on the front line - certain extent is on the front line of climate — certain extent is on the front line of climate change, if you like, and we've _ of climate change, if you like, and we've talked about dinner parties that the — we've talked about dinner parties that the next great conflict will be

amanda, i'm wondering about this particular change in policy thatjoe biden has enacted, we've had democrat and republican presidents, but he seems to be the first to have this extraordinary case unfold as it has over the past couple hours. render his history and foreign policy, all the work he's done in the senate in the senate have really equipped him with being able to handle multiple issues happening in the global world for a long period of time —— remember. not only is he on stage talking about what could happen in ukraine, but he also has his secretary weighing in on what's happening in honduras. and what's been talked about a lot behind—the—scenes is that this administration is taking a real thoughtful approach to southern america, to central america and really putting in place the systems to be able to have a thoughtful, long—term solution to what's happening at the border. this is the beginning of that, we are now seeing a much more proactive approach by

this administration, which they always said they would do from the beginning. it’s always said they would do from the bearinnin. v always said they would do from the beaiannin. h beginning. it's quite murky about where relationships _ beginning. it's quite murky about where relationships start - beginning. it's quite murky about where relationships start or- beginning. it's quite murky about where relationships start or stop | beginning. it's quite murky about i where relationships start or stop in governments. how is this being seen from the uk? it governments. how is this being seen from the uk?— from the uk? it may be big in tomorrow's — from the uk? it may be big in tomorrow's papers _ from the uk? it may be big in tomorrow's papers in - from the uk? it may be big in tomorrow's papers in the - from the uk? it may be big in tomorrow's papers in the uk, | from the uk? it may be big in - tomorrow's papers in the uk, but i became _ tomorrow's papers in the uk, but i became politically active in the 19805 — became politically active in the 1980s when central america really was america's backyard, and this is a reminder— was america's backyard, and this is a reminder of where a big sphere of influence _ a reminder of where a big sphere of influence for the us, which tends to be off— influence for the us, which tends to be off the _ influence for the us, which tends to be off the table as our attention is focused on — be off the table as our attention is focused on the middle east and now on china, _ focused on the middle east and now on china, but it's a reminder that border— on china, but it's a reminder that border issues are constant, but the issues _ border issues are constant, but the issues between north and south america — issues between north and south america are incredibly important to the us _ america are incredibly important to the us it's — america are incredibly important to the us. it's a reminderagain of america are incredibly important to the us. it's a reminder again of the us's power— the us. it's a reminder again of the us's power and ability to reach out when _ us's power and ability to reach out when they so decide to intervene in this way. _ when they so decide to intervene in this way, obviously not in a huge

andy verity reports. this year, that squeeze will get tighter. but it's not true that you can't do anything about it. i iiike can't do anything about it. i like to eat can't do anything about it. i like to get into _ can't do anything about it. i like to get into a — can't do anything about it. i like to get into a house... _ can't do anything about it. i like to get into a house... web- can't do anything about it. i like to get into a house... web xml| to get into a house... web xml johnson is one of the record numbers of people quitting theirjob for a new one. at 19 years old, he needed something steadier than working in a bar. within ten minutes of coming to thisjob fair, he got bar. within ten minutes of coming to this job fair, he got an offer. it's ideal, really, come in, get a job, wait for a phone call and start work immediately. when you are going through shops and stuff like that, you tend to see a lot of places that have vacancies in the stores and everything. at this covid—secure recruitment fair, it is not the job—seekers that are anxious — it's more the employers who cannot get the staff they need to cater for surging demand from customers. we could invite 15 people to an interview and only

five would show up. i'm not saying the quality of people that we do have come through the door, that's not decreased at all. if anything, we are seeing stronger candidates. we're just struggling to get people to show up. average earnings were up in 2021 by 3.7%. not enough to keep up with price inflation. in real terms, it's a 0.8% pay cut. but more up—to—date figures from employers' payrolls indicate pay was up by 6.3% injanuary compared to a year before. if you compare to the start of the pandemic, it's up by io.3%. job—seekers are now playing a much stronger hand to boost their pay than they have been able to in decades. the tightjobs market also slows business down, because employers don't have the staff to meet all the orders coming in. that puts the brakes on economic activity, even as inflation is taking off. for the first time, a gun manufacturer has been held liable for a mass shooting in the us.

remington arms has agreed to pay $73 million to the families of victims of the sandy hook elementary school massacre. the 20—year—old gunman used a remington military—style assault rifle in the 2016 attack, in which 26 children and staff were killed. let's turn to this, this is such an incredibly sad story that we returned to with this change that's happened, it's an unprecedented case. ed, what did you think when you wrote this? i case. ed, what did you think when you wrote this?— you wrote this? i thought it was a bia you wrote this? i thought it was a big tobacco _ you wrote this? i thought it was a big tobacco moment. _ you wrote this? i thought it was a big tobacco moment. this - you wrote this? i thought it was a big tobacco moment. this is - you wrote this? i thought it was a big tobacco moment. this is the i big tobacco moment. this is the nras— big tobacco moment. this is the nra's tihe — big tobacco moment. this is the nra's line that's well known, "guns doh't _ nra's line that's well known, "guns doh't kiti— nra's line that's well known, "guns don't kill people, people kill people." to make the manufacturers tiabte _ people." to make the manufacturers tiabte i_ people." to make the manufacturers liable i think is a good thing, it's often _ liable i think is a good thing, it's often said — liable i think is a good thing, it's often said that in america, the americarrs— often said that in america, the americans and the british are people divided _ americans and the british are people divided try— americans and the british are people divided by a common language. gun control— divided by a common language. gun control is— divided by a common language. gun control is one of those issues where literally— control is one of those issues where literally the — control is one of those issues where

hello there. a stormy few days ahead, the first storm coming in on wednesday eminently and hot on its heels. there's already amber warning in force for dudley. it's been blowing these weather systems in and allowing them to deepen very significantly, and actually we will get a resurgence of that strong jet stream across our source to the weekend so we may well have further deep areas of low pressure. but for wednesday this is doubly. tightly packed isobars indicate very strong winds right across the uk. not the first thing although it will be pretty breezy out there, but we will have snow issues across the hills of
