need to see this in place. what we need to see is a real withdrawal of forces which is a real withdrawal of forces which is lasting and the just don't move troops around. is lasting and the “ust don't move troops around.— is lasting and the 'ust don't move troops around. that is the head of nato there. _ troops around. that is the head of nato there, he _ troops around. that is the head of nato there, he says _ troops around. that is the head of nato there, he says they - troops around. that is the head of nato there, he says they need - nato there, he says they need action. let's talk general lord richard dannatt, former chief of military staff between 2006 and 2009 and has been following the situation in ukraine closely. do you agree with that, we need to see action notjust hear the rhetoric? see action not 'ust hear the rhetoricvh see action not 'ust hear the rhetoric? ~ . ., ., , ,, ., rhetoric? we all want to see russian troo -s rhetoric? we all want to see russian troops withdrawing _ rhetoric? we all want to see russian troops withdrawing from _ rhetoric? we all want to see russian troops withdrawing from the - troops withdrawing from the ukrainian border and going back to their barracks. that is exactly what we want to see. 0n their barracks. that is exactly what we want to see. on one level, president putin has achieved an awful lot of what he wanted to achieve by putting somewhere between 100000 and 150,000 troops, but they have put a large number of troops on the ukrainian border and vladimir putin has because of the world's attention but it hasn't worked out for him the way he hoped he might.

he was rather hoping, remember that presidents putin is a kgb colonel, unfortunately what he hoped to see was disharmony amongst nato but his actions have produced a unified voice. 0n actions have produced a unified voice. on that level, he hasn't achieved one of his objectives. i believe he has achieved something, thatis believe he has achieved something, that is the distancing of the likelihood of ukraine joining that is the distancing of the likelihood of ukrainejoining nato. i don't think it is appropriate that ukraine doesjoin nato. yes, we should support an independent ukraine, support their rights to protect their sovereignty and integrity of their own territory but ukraine to join nato, integrity of their own territory but ukraine tojoin nato, it is provocation too far, particularly seen from the russian people because my point of view. d0 seen from the russian people because my point of view— my point of view. do you think russia will _ my point of view. do you think russia will invade _ my point of view. do you think russia will invade ukraine? i my point of view. do you think.

russia will invade ukraine? no, my point of view. do you think i russia will invade ukraine? no, i have said that _ russia will invade ukraine? no, i have said that consistently. - russia will invade ukraine? no, i have said that consistently. i - russia will invade ukraine? iirrl, i have said that consistently. i think putin is in a more powerful position by threatening intimidating and bullying, catching the wealth's attention, enjoying world leaders beating a path to his door in moscow whether it is sitting at one end of a table or another and he is getting himself a lot of attention. but if he wants to attack then he would move from being the centre of wealth's attention to it being the centre of the wealth's vilification. it is not a right thing to do in the 21st century for a supposedly civilised country like russia to engage, to invade a country like ukraine. the loss of life on every side among civilians would be huge, the damage to ukraine's infrastructure would be huge, it's just not the sort of thing civilised people should be doing in the 21st century. he would be placing himself at the bottom of the pile of anyone who deserves any kind of world

respect. he is better off threatening, bullying. if he goes and he will reverse his position. he described ukraine joining nato is described ukrainejoining nato is evocative. ukraine is a sovereign currency, it canjoin nato if it wants to come it wants to join nato, why should it give up that ambition to simply satisfy his neighbour, their neighbour, president putin? {iii their neighbour, president putin? of course, ukraine can aspire tojoin course, ukraine can aspire to join nato if it wishes to. currently, the conditions are not right for ukraine tojoin nato. 0ne conditions are not right for ukraine tojoin nato. one of the conditions are not right for ukraine to join nato. one of the articles of the north atlantic treaty if there is an ongoing border dispute is affecting an applicant country, then its application is put to one side. there is an ongoing border dispute in eastern ukraine between ukraine and russia. the question of nato membership is hypothetical at the present moment. turn it around and look at it from the kremlin's point

of view. look at it with a backward glance to the days of the ussr. ukraine was a hard—wired part of the soviet union, christophe, the long serving soviet union leader was in the ukrainian himself. for many russians, the question of ukraine being anything other than in the wider russian sphere and influence is unthinkable. when one says it is a provocation for ukraine to join nato, it is indeed just that. it is taking nato too close to the heart of russia's legitimate sphere of influence. that influence is confined to russia itself and belarus are not much more, but ukraine is a very, very close to many russian's parts both spiritually and emotionally. it is a provocation that the west does not need to go along with. we support their independence but i think that is different from supporting any

encouragement ofjoining nato. you encouragement of “oining nato. you said ou encouragement ofjoining nato. you said you don't think russia will invade ukraine, what do you think will happen next? this invade ukraine, what do you think will happen next?— invade ukraine, what do you think will happen next? this could go on, this standard _ will happen next? this could go on, this standard could _ will happen next? this could go on, this standard could go _ will happen next? this could go on, this standard could go on _ will happen next? this could go on, this standard could go on for - will happen next? this could go on, this standard could go on for some| this standard could go on for some time as you have just heard. the nato secretary general saying the troops might withdraw but they may leave their equipment behind, that is quite possible. the stand—off will go on for quite some time. probably going back to my original point, the longer it goes on, then putin will think the greater the likelihood of the harmony of nato breaking up on this issue and you might start to get divergent voices. after all, might start to get divergent voices. afterall, german might start to get divergent voices. after all, german voices are compromised on this because the gas supply is important to germany. germany's line might be less hard on this, probably less hard than the united states or uk. it may go on for a while but back to your original question, do i think they will invade? no, i don't know. the

only thing that could happen is a lesson troops might go into eastern ukraine which is the disputed area in the east of the country. quite why they would do that, i am not sure but that is the only kind of incursion i can see being at all potentially possible. a major attack from belarus to kyiv, ijust don't think, it is possible but i go back to the point made before, it opened vladimir putin is an appalling position on the world stage. vilification of the strongest possible kind.— vilification of the strongest ossible kind. ., ~ , ., , . ukraine's leading channels are carrying a patriotic tv marathon this morning to mark unity day, declared by president volodymyr zelensky amid reports that today could be the date of a potential russian invasion. ukrainians paraded a 200—meter—long national flag at the national olympic stadium in kyiv to celebrate that national day.

there are plenty�*s president also appeared in a ceremony. caroline davies is in moscow for us. yesterday we reported that usher was moving some of its two respective bases and today troops temporarily stationed in crimea, which russia took over a few years ago are moving. what does that tell us what president putin is up to? we have seen steadily more information coming out on the ministry of defence in russia by what is happening with these military drills. let's take it back to last week, that is when the kremlin spokesperson said when these drills were finished those russian troops would go back to their bases. plenty of people said, we will believe it when we see it. russia is providing footage of what it says are these troops moving back. yesterday we had some footage, it wasn't clear the geographical location although russia was in the

districts and were returning to their military bases. today, we've had more footage which looks like it was filmed overnight but it is found that night—time of tens of tanks leaving once russia has said, leaving once russia has said, leaving crimea and going back to its basesin leaving crimea and going back to its bases in russia. in terms of what this tells us, we had a lot of scepticism about these two movements from the us, we've heard from boris johnson, we have heard from the defence secretary ben wallace this morning talking about the fact they hadn't seen any evidence of a de—escalation and we heard from president biden saying something similar. exactly what this might mean for the peace process, for the diplomatic processes is difficult to know. the other thing to bear in mind as well is that same kremlin spokesperson was also asked about this again yesterday and he said, yes, this wasn't surprising that troops were returning to their bases. that is what he said would happen. he pointed out russia

retained the right to move his troops around within its borders whenever it wanted to do so but not necessarily a sign of the escalation.— necessarily a sign of the escalation. . ~' , ., , . escalation. thank you very much, caroline. lots of people want to know how prince andrew is funding that out of court settlemtent he's agreed with the woman who accused him of sexualt, virginai guifree. also there are questions over whether he will ever return to public life. let's talk to the labour mp for york central, tell us what you think about the five and two is still known as the of york. . ~ five and two is still known as the of york. . . ., of york. the fact that the title, it has an ambassadorial_ of york. the fact that the title, it has an ambassadorial role - of york. the fact that the title, itj has an ambassadorial role across of york. the fact that the title, it - has an ambassadorial role across the globe and as england's only human rights city people have said they want this disconnection of the duke them with our city. this association is important as day by day we are fighting the battle against the violence of women and girls which

clearly is endemic in society. they were clear associations with jeffrey epstein and miss maxwell as well we have seen this payout to date. many descents bring reparation to the harm that this young woman as she was at the time experienced, who has bravely spoken out. what we need to see it a societal and cultural shift technologies misogyny, the harassment and violence which women experience at home, online and across society and a day day basis. prince andrew has denied the allegations that virginia giuffre made. he hasn't accepted liability in the statement. he has said he wants to support victims of sex trafficking. he has already given up many titles, been forced to give up many titles, been forced to give up many passages. why would he need to give up the title of duke of york?

we've gotten look at why this title continues, the queen didn't have the power. there is a piece of legislation in how to remove these titles. it can either be through parliament itself coming and passing new legislation of which it could have acknowledgements to a geographical location where that title is related or indeed bestowing more powers on her majesty the queen to be able to remove that title which she couldn't do herself. there is some unfinished business that needs to be addressed. that is some unfinished business that needs to be addressed.- needs to be addressed. that is a messaue needs to be addressed. that is a message for— needs to be addressed. that is a message for parliaments, - needs to be addressed. that is a| message for parliaments, really, needs to be addressed. that is a i message for parliaments, really, to you and your colleagues. do you think there is a consensus from people who live in york they want this to be removed? they want to remove the association with prince andrew? ,., .., remove the association with prince andrew? ,., .. ., andrew? the poll carried out identified _ andrew? the poll carried out identified 88% _ andrew? the poll carried out identified 88% of _ andrew? the poll carried out identified 88% of people - andrew? the poll carried out identified 88% of people in i andrew? the poll carried out i identified 88% of people in our andrew? the poll carried out - identified 88% of people in our city no longer wanted the continuity of

that title and therefore, the simplest way would be for andrew to simply say, i don't want to be known as the duke of york any more. i would hope in his time of reflection which i trust he will enter into, he consider that as action he could take in acknowledging the hearse that has been caused. that take in acknowledging the hearse that has been caused.— that has been caused. that is interesting. _ that has been caused. that is interesting. you _ that has been caused. that is interesting. you are - that has been caused. that is interesting. you are calling . that has been caused. that is| interesting. you are calling on prince andrew to give up this title voluntarily? it prince andrew to give up this title voluntarily?— voluntarily? it is something that i believe he could _ voluntarily? it is something that i believe he could do _ voluntarily? it is something that i believe he could do as _ voluntarily? it is something that i believe he could do as another i voluntarily? it is something that i l believe he could do as another way of acknowledging the pain women across all of our communities are experiencing as they are survivors of violence and harassment. so much more. we've got to come to a point as a society to say that this has got to stop, this wine against women has got to end and when people of power and privilege can use that for the benefit of women, we need to see that as opposed to using it for

harm. the association that andrew had with individuals who exploited women, trafficked women, that has got to be acknowledged as well. thank you for talking to us. calling on prince andrew to voluntarily give up on prince andrew to voluntarily give up his duke of york title. every 18—year—old leaving the care system in wales is to be given i6—hundred pounds a month for two years as part of a new basic income scheme. the pilot project will start later this year and is expected to cost up to 20—million pounds over 3 years. around 500 people will be eligible critics argue the money would be better spent on support services. 0ur wales correspondent hywel griffith is in cardiff. some will say this is really radical. tell us why the welsh government is doing this. it is something _ government is doing this. it is something labour— government is doing this. hi 3 something labour ministers have been discussing for a long time. initially, looking at a universal basic income trial and they've narrowed it down now to trying it

with a specific group of people who they think deserve some more financial stability in their life, who are prone to falling into poverty and difficulties going into education and employment so they think by guaranteeing them there £600 month for 2h months, this will help support their lives. == £600 month for 24 months, this will help support their lives.— help support their lives. -- £1600. what do peeple — help support their lives. -- £1600. what do people say? _ help support their lives. -- £1600. what do people say? there - help support their lives. -- £1600. what do people say? there are - help support their lives. -- £1600. i what do people say? there are some --eole what do people say? there are some eo - le who what do people say? there are some people who have _ what do people say? there are some people who have been _ what do people say? there are some people who have been supportive - what do people say? there are some people who have been supportive of. people who have been supportive of having the trial in wales for a long time. some would like to see it widen to the universal principle that has been trialled in a world like kenya and india where everyone has a guaranteed small amount of money regardless of where they work or not. the lib dems would like it widened a bit more than just care leavers. the welsh tories saying this is a waste of money. when it has been tried elsewhere in the world, it hasn't shown it helps people into work. the amount of

money, £1600, it's a much bigger than other trials, for example, in finland when this was trialled with unemployed people. but it will be taxed and people will lose their entitlement to benefits and that is the point of contention. i would be interested to know what you think of that pilot programme, you think of that pilot programme, you can e—mail me particularly if you can e—mail me particularly if you live in wales, how might it have helped you? now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. we have two named storms coming our way, the first one, storm dudley is already strengthening wind out towards the west. we have all this rain coming our way too some of which will be heavy. we are looking

at a mild day for most of us, 11 to 16 degrees. fresherfurther at a mild day for most of us, 11 to 16 degrees. fresher further north. these are the wind gusts you can expect through the afternoon, windy across the board. the met office has an amber weather warning out for these area, gusts of 60 to 70 mph or even 80 to 90 mph which could lead to damage and disruption too. the strong winds will persist through the night and tomorrow, slowly easing as we go through the course of the day and tomorrow it is a mixture of sunshine and showers, some heavy with hill snow and then storm eunice is waiting in the wings for friday. sport, and time for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre: good morning... day 12 at the winter olympics and time is running out for team gb to get that first medal of the games. high hopes it might have come from slalom skier dave ryding, but despite his brilliant season, he finished outside

the medal places. we can cross live now to beijing and join our sports correspondent andy swiss, andy what about the curlers? it was not to be for david ryding this morning to despite his success this morning to despite his success this season. this morning to despite his success this season-— this morning to despite his success this season. great disappointment, he had gone _ this season. great disappointment, he had gone into _ this season. great disappointment, he had gone into the _ this season. great disappointment, he had gone into the olympic- this season. great disappointment, l he had gone into the olympic games with high hopes after his first world cup win last month. he got up to a terrific start on his first run, quick out of the gates and aggressive, he laid during the early stages, but halfway down his first run he made a costly mistake. that made him lose speed and he lost time and in the end, he got to the bottom in 16th place after his first run. he improved on his second run but by then the damage was done and he had to settle for 13th place overall with the gold medal going to france.

david ryding, unable to improve on his ninth place finish four years ago and his frustration was plain to see. i left myself way too much to do on the first run. for some reason, i didn't have my best skiing today. slightly disappointing, but, at the same time, you know, very tight. ijust knew that i wasn't... i didn't have it. i didn't have something. but c'est la vie, you know, i live and fight on and go home to my fiancee and have a couple of days off and that's the most important thing at the end of the day, you know, there are more things in the world than the olympics. soi so i guess the weight for the elusive first medal goes on, time is running out, what chances are it could come from the curling team? it could come from the curling team? tit is not looking too good at the moment, they were up against china in their penultimate match of the group stages. a really tight match

but in the end, china 18 —— four after they took command in the closing stages. that means britain must beat the russian 0lympic must beat the russian olympic committee tomorrow in their final group game and hope that other results go their way. their semifinal fate is out of their own hands. they will have to wait and see if they beat the russian 0lympic see if they beat the russian olympic committee tomorrow, whether that is enough to get through to the last four. betterforthe enough to get through to the last four. betterfor the main, they are through to the semifinals, up against the russian 0lympic against the russian olympic committee in their group match. in the last half hour or they have won the last half hour or they have won the match eight —— six, their sixth win in a row in this competition. they are on terrific form at the moment which bodes really well for the semi final which takes place tomorrow. the they are guaranteed either a gold medal or a silver

medal. it has been a desperately 12 days so far, the elusive first medal could be in sight. that days so far, the elusive first medal could be in sight.— could be in sight. that is good news, it could be in sight. that is good news. it has — could be in sight. that is good news, it has been _ could be in sight. that is good news, it has been long - could be in sight. that is good i news, it has been long awaited. what a night for manchester city in the champions league. a performance which shows why this could be the season they win club football's biggest prize. 5—nil they beat sporting lisbon — bernardo silva scored a couple, they were 4—0 up at half time raheem sterling adding the fifth in the second half to give last year's beaten finalists a massive lead ahead of the second leg in three weeks time. we had to show you this this morning. when do you ever see lionel messi missing a penalty against real madrid? so used to scoring goals. and what about this? kylian mbappe. showing why he is one of the world's best. producing a huge goal, minutes before the end.

guess we can't talk about the world's best without a mention for cristiano ronaldo. a little reminder he's still here. he's faced some criticsm of late at united but showed his value scoring teh first of tehir two goals as they beat brighton in the premier league to move up to 4th. that's all the sport for now. thank you for your messages about the basic income, every care lever will be paid 1600 pounds per month which will be taxed in a pilot project. most people on twitter think it's a very good idea. this message says i left care with 20 quid a week and nowhere to live, this would have transformed my

chances. another message, a fantastic move, may many leading the system struggle and need all the help they can get. another message, this sounds fantastic, what a difference it will make to those who want to make something of themselves. another message, one question, why are they not worth that amount from the age of 1a when they are placed in unregulated care homes, often left to cope and clothe themselves etc. another message, this is phenomenal, i could not have managed if i had been expected to be 100% self—sufficient at 18. i don't know anyone who could. i needed parental support until i was 20. i hope this is kept and expanded. if you are a care lever, tell us what you are a care lever, tell us what you think of that idea.

the worst of the weather today is expected from four o'clock. this is the latest in a series of storms to cause havoc and a huge demand —— amount of damage. the met office has issued a rare red weather warning. some very strong winds, particularly affecting coastal areas. conditions really are brutal — there's driving rain, - dropping temperatures and winds that are forecast to potentially gust - to up to 90 miles an hour. it's relentless. 0ne winter storm after another blasting the landscape. millions of trees have been brought down. the northeast of england has been hit really hard. at great knott here in cumbria, which is one of our larger woods, we've lost over a third of the woodland. this is the heart of the lake district. that's the tree up there. kelvin archer manages the woodland trust's forests in the north of england. it's a big oak, isn't it?

it's a real shame it's gone. he spends most of his time now assessing damage — his dog always with him. predominantly, this normally happens in scotland, which this year has been hit horrendously hard by the storms. it doesn't normally come down this far. we had the beast from the east a few years ago that did hit us here, but this last couple of years we've been hit again and again. northeast is starting to look a bit like scotland for wind blow and wind damage and storm damage, and now we're getting it over in cumbria. so there's a clear pattern of change. close to the shore of lake windermere, this is wray castle. there's clearing up happening here, too. the storms have cost the national trust around £4 million — the charity says already it's been the worst season for a0 years. it says that, in a huge blow to british heritage, many iconic trees have been lost. so this is a national champion crested beech. it's a champion of britain and ireland because it's the biggest tree of that species in terms of girth. when you lose any big — really big, prominent tree,

it's sad, and this one, particularly because it's been at wray castle for a long time. it's an important tree because it's the biggest, and to see it blown over is really sad. i think it's probably a douglas fir. richard takes us deep into the worst—hit area — it's still closed to the public. many of these trees have been weakened, and his team hasn't yet been able to make it safe. this is the kind of hidden damage that forest managers are really worried about. across the uk, there are hundreds of thousands of giant trees like this that have fallen. many of the felled trees can be sold for timber, but there are so many of them that they're likely to fetch a lower price. but storm damage can have its benefits. bonnie waring is a senior lecturer at imperial college london. when a tree falls down, it creates a gap in the canopy that lets light through. that helps light—dependent species thrive, and the dead tree itself is a really important habitat for species that are of conservation concern.

however, richard admits finding the scale of the restoration work ahead daunting and depressing. if you look at all the smashed tops of the trees, kind of reminds you a bit of those photos you see of a battlefield. i've never seen a battlefield, but the pictures you see, the trees sort of look like that. itjust looks like somebody�*s set off a bomb. and now storm dudley is on its way. the horizon is darkening once again. winter isn't over yet. can the survivors stay standing? claire marshall, bbc news, cumbria. when the price of things we buy — from a cup of coffee to a new top, to petrol to a packet of dried pasta — all increase, its called inflation. it means we can buy less for a pound today than we could buy yesterday. this morning the latest measure of monthly inflation figure is out —

and its 5.5 %, up from 5.4% in december. that's the highest since march 1992. leah is a busy mum of three. she's a care worker — it's a demanding job with long hours. i leave my house at 6:00 every morning — sometimes 5:30 — and sometimes i don't get home till ten o'clock of a night. you're going ice skating with church next week, as well. forgot to tell you. the thought when your wage is going in the bank, you think, "i've got this much left to budget with for the month." like many families, she's noticed a big increase in the price of her weekly shop. we were only talking last week at morris dancing about the price of beans, and another lady said to me, beans have gone up by 16p a can. everything has shot up in price. pasta — used to be able to get pasta for 20 pence a bag — that's now 40p a bag. all the staple foods, like tinned tomatoes — things that you would use to bulk out meals — that's all shot up. leah's constantly trying to reduce her shopping bill, but buying cheaper alternatives isn't always an option.

my son only eats a particular brand ofjam because he's got additional needs, and the price of the jam has gone up by a0 pence a jar. just down the road in wythenshawe is the factory where the jam is made. through that wall there is the warehouse. we've arranged a visit for leah to find out why her store—cupboard essentials have gone up in price. richard, i'mjust wondering, why are the prices ofjam going up as much as they are at the minute? it's really down to a number of things. it's shipment costs — so that's getting the raw materials from around the world to the uk — that's a massive part of it. it's the cost of those raw materials. it's also the packaging materials, which is largely driven by energy costs — we've seen our costs increase by around £8 million over a 12—month period. we can't absorb those costs. i'm working all this week and i'm on back—to—backs apart from sunday. next up for leah is the bideford community centre in wythenshawe. she volunteers here. during the pandemic, it was a lifeline for her family when her husband was made redundant.

what have we got? we've got... today she's bringing in donations, but is also on the lookout for a bargain. i tend to say to kirsty, "have you got a sale on?" and she'll say, "yeah," and i can get, like i said, the really expensive, nice body wash for 50p. so it's not worth going to the supermarket and paying £1.75 when kirsty�*s got it here. can you make sure these go in a separate crate? even though we are technically, on paper, above the poverty line, once you take out the mortgage and the rising costs of the gas and electric, it's harderfor us because we still have to pay for school dinners — we don't get any help with them — and they've gone up in price, as well. we saw numbers rise rapidly through the pandemic. thousands of people every week at our back gate. i'd say in recent months we thought we've seen the worst of what we're going to see, and then we got the cost—of—living crisis and we are now going straight back up. we're seeing lots of working families, and people need to ask for help — pride can't get in the way,

they need to say, you know, "i'm struggling." the government says it's providing support to put, on average, £1,000 a year more into the pockets of working families. if we do the beans — the cans first. 0k. leah says it's places like this that are making a real difference in helping those on low incomes struggling with the rising cost of living. this place represents community. 0h, brilliant! you give to your community and they give back to you. elaine dunkley, bbc news, in wythenshawe. kyle monk is the insight director at the british retail consortium, which represents the retail sector. can you list the reasons why prices are going up at the rate they are? as the manufacturer pointed out, global prices for lots of items in the supply chain have gone up massively, vegetable oil and sugar

is up 30%, meat, fish, anything you can mention has shot up in price and has been happening steadily over the last two years. logistics has gone up, getting a containerfrom china to the uk has gone up tenfold, not only food, food being an essential item for many families, it is noticeable when it goes up. supermarkets have been absorbing the course for the last year because they do not want to increase the prices from a business perspective, they lose customers. however, absorbing cause for so many years, they are now forced to make increases in some areas to pass on some of those costs.— increases in some areas to pass on some of those costs. they have been forced to? who _ some of those costs. they have been forced to? who has _ some of those costs. they have been forced to? who has fought _ some of those costs. they have been forced to? who has fought them - some of those costs. they have been forced to? who has fought them to? | forced to? who has fought them to? in the sense that they make small margins, 1%, 2% on items maximum, and that has declined steadily over the last five years, so they have to

in trials, it was 88% effective at preventing hospital admission. it's being sent to patients who've just tested positive for covid and are considered high—risk. like emily, who has a weakened immune system. the paxlovid's been really effective. i've taken it for about two days now. i'm already feeling much better. and it's been quite reassuring that i've been able to get this medication so quickly from the nhs. the government says it's procured nearly five million courses of anti—virals — more per head than any other country in europe. just part of the armoury of treatments against covid available here at newcastle's royal victoria infirmary. we've got the anti—virals that are protecting people from coming into hospital once they've got coronavirus, and when someone is admitted to hospital, we've got a significant number of drugs that can help people and stop them from going to intensive care, and even treat them

while they're on intensive care. are you normally all right getting your blood done? there wouldn't be any drugs without trial volunteers like colin — who tested one of the covid vaccines, and is still having his antibodies monitored. more than 52 million people in the uk are vaccinated, and those jabs remain the main shield against covid. 0micron being milder has helped, too — but doctors warn it still poses a threat to the unvaccinated. covid will not disappear completely, but even if new variants emerge, they should be kept in check by a combination of vaccines and the increasing number of effective drug treatments. we're just going to do a test to see how fast and how much you can blow out. but even though covid hospital admissions have fallen sharply, there is a growing problem of long covid. blow, blow, blow — keep going... last month, a record one in 50 people in the uk said

they were living with lingering symptoms of covid. danielle still suffers fatigue and brain fog — nearly two years after being infected. there is no doubt that this has an enormous impact on the individuals affected. a huge impact. that's a problem for them, but it's also a problem for society because these are people who have been taken out of the workforce as a consequence. covid has been the biggest challenge everfaced by the nhs. two years on, hospitals can begin to plan for a future not completely free of the disease, but one where it no longer dominates health care and society. fergus walsh, bbc news. an investigation by the bbc�*s global disinformation team has found that thousands of private photos of women are being shared, without their consent, on the social media app telegram. the app now has more than 500 million users worldwide.

the investigation found nude pictures shared in telegram channels in more than 20 countries, despite the platform's claims that it moderates public spaces and removes illegal pornography. this story has some some sexual content. sara is from havana, cuba's capital city. she comes here to find calm ever since she found out that a nude photo she'd taken and shared with one other person had been posted on the social media app telegram. we've changed her name for her safety. she doesn't know for sure how it ended up in a group with 18,000 followers, many of whom are from her neighbourhood, and may all have seen her naked. translation: i saw super vulgar comments about how hot i was, l asking if there were more photos of me. sara reported the picture of her to telegram, but got no response. our investigation has found groups with pictures

like sara's in more than 20 countries shared with tens of thousands of people on telegram, and there's very little these women can do about it. nigar is from azerbaijan, but she now lives in exile. her brother has a youtube channel where he openly criticises azerbaijan's president. that made nigar a target. translation: my mum started crying and told me there - is a video, it was sent to me. i was devastated. absolutely devastated. the videos showed nigar and her husband having sex. they were posted in a telegram group with over 40,000 members. she says she was secretly filmed to blackmail her brother. the group that posted footage of nigar has since been shut down. but this kind of action from the platform is rare,

as we found out for ourselves. we reported 100 images as porn to telegram. one month later, 96 images were still there. telegram did not agree to an interview, and their statement didn't refer to ourfindings. they insist they have teams who proactively monitor public spaces. but as the platform continues to grow, there are fears that more women could be targeted and their bodies and lives exposed. hannah gelbart, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather: good morning. we have got to named storms coming our way, we have the effects of storm dudley with heavy rain and gusty winds. the ring will

this is bbc news — these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. calls for prince andrew to hand back his duke of york title and questions over how he'll fund his out—of—court settlement with virginia giuffre, the woman who'd accused him of sexual assault. i would hope in this time of reflection which i trust he will enter into, he will certainly consider that as an action he could take into acknowledging the hurt that has been caused. what do you think of the deal he's done with virginia guiffre? he commended her bravery, accepted she was a vicimt of sexual abuse, admitted no liability and has always denied her allegations. let me know — victoria@bbc.co.uk. 0r message me on social media — @vicderbyshire. as ukrainians mark their national unity day, nato defence ministers meet to assess the threat from russia to ukraine.
