simply won't do it. ukraine is a vast country. on _ simply won't do it. ukraine is a vast country. on paper, - simply won't do it. ukraine is a vast country. on paper, you i simply won't do it. ukraine is a . vast country. on paper, you would think it wasn't because of its size that vulnerable but what is your assessment given the size of the military build—up on its borders? is it conceivable that kyiv could actually be vulnerable from attack from land forces7 it actually be vulnerable from attack from land forces?— from land forces? it certainly conceivable _ from land forces? it certainly conceivable and _ from land forces? it certainly conceivable and written - from land forces? it certainly conceivable and written in . from land forces? it certainly - conceivable and written in america and you heard there from the president of the european commission, european leaders are convinced that this is a real possibility. the belarus border is only a few hours drive from the north of here. if russia were to decide to launch troops out of belarus at the end of these exercises which are concluding this weekend, they could get here, western officials believe, in a matter of days. of course, there are huge forces around the eastern border in that area where separatist rebels have been fighting that war for the past eight years in the situation down there in the last

couple of days does seem to be getting critical, with these warnings by the leaders of the two so—called people's republics down there for civilians to be evacuated. and of course, what they are arguing is is that they are fearing an attack by ukraine, the russian people down there. and you would think, what an earth would ukraine be thinking to launch an attack against pro—russian separatists when 60% of land forces of russia are pointing in their direction. it would be suicidal so there's no evidence that ukraine is trying to take back those territories by force but this is being used by separatist leaders to create a sense of urgent and imminent crisis. pauladams, kyiv. obias ellwood is a

in from the atlantic. many took cover, some could not. in hampshire, a man in his 20s died when the van he was in hit a tree. the driver was also seriously injured. in merseyside, debris smashed through the windscreen of a van, killing a man in his 50s. and in north london, a woman in her 30s died when a tree fell on a car in which she was travelling. a man who was driving was taken to hospital. across the uk, including in bude, in cornwall, people filmed the storm's destruction for themselves. 0n the m4 in wales, driving became extremely dangerous. this lorry was no match for the storm. in bromley, this bus had no time to swerve. it bulldozed its way

through a falling tree. the storm toppled the spire of st thomas's church in wales, in place since victorian times. no—one was injured. at london's 02 arena, pop stars are expected to blow the roof off the venue, but this time the storm did it for real. 1,000 people had to be evacuated. and pilots coming into heathrow airport fought battles with the wind, their approach eagerly captured by a reporter from big jet tv. at gatwick, some pilots had to make several landing attempts. across the uk, more than a50 flights were cancelled, and the north of england and parts of scotland have had heavy snow. disruption is expected to continue over the weekend. james reynolds, bbc news.

(13mm morning. any policies, commercial policies across this market will cover most of the damage from the storm. it is now called cover as part of people's policies and people to contact their insurance if they haven't done already and make contact, explain the damage and have the right conversations to ensure

that, first and foremost, that their properties are safe and get the repairs sorted out. is properties are safe and get the repairs sorted out.— properties are safe and get the repairs sorted out. is still going to take you _ repairs sorted out. is still going to take you some _ repairs sorted out. is still going to take you some days - repairs sorted out. is still going to take you some days to - repairs sorted out. is still going to take you some days to get i repairs sorted out. is still going to take you some days to get a | repairs sorted out. is still going - to take you some days to get a very clear picture of the amount of insurable damage there is to repair, and presumably the people who deal with individual clients will be having those conversations and they will carry on for some days yet. it's probably not a bad time for people who have not suffered damage to look again at their insurance cover? i to look again at their insurance cover? ~ .,, to look again at their insurance cover? ~ , cover? i think most policies, certainly _ cover? i think most policies, certainly for _ cover? i think most policies, certainly for buildings - cover? i think most policies, i certainly for buildings damage, cover? i think most policies, - certainly for buildings damage, will cover the vast amount of damage caused —— vast majority. that's part of the core insurance cover we give customers. we've seen a number of customers. we've seen a number of customers contacting us already and we have had conversations around the damage, temporary repairs or

payments made on occasions to give them alternative accommodation so those conversations are important for the next steps as the storm moves away this weekend. we've been told to expect — moves away this weekend. we've been told to expect more _ moves away this weekend. we've been told to expect more extreme _ moves away this weekend. we've been told to expect more extreme weather. told to expect more extreme weather events, but the overall impression is that as the planet warms we can expect more weather like this. is insurance just going to become one of those things where we are going to have to expect to spend a bit more of our income on insurance because the costs are inevitably going arise as a result of this activity? going arise as a result of this activi ? . . going arise as a result of this activi ? ., , ., , activity? that is not necessarily the case. taking _ activity? that is not necessarily the case. taking out _ activity? that is not necessarily the case. taking out home - activity? that is not necessarily - the case. taking out home insurance, i would certainly recommend. certainly, the storm at the weekend is a great example of the need for insurance. home policies have been fairly static and flat for the last few years with premiums and insurers

do account for storms, we anticipate them each year so they are built into the premium. what is important is that the customer gets the right product and fair value for that product and fair value for that product so we are very keen to ensure that our customers pay the right price for a product that delivers fair value and services for them. ., ., . ., , ., them. head of claims at the nfu mutual. them. head of claims at the nfu mutual- hope — them. head of claims at the nfu mutual. hope it's _ them. head of claims at the nfu mutual. hope it's not _ them. head of claims at the nfu mutual. hope it's not too - them. head of claims at the nfu mutual. hope it's not too busy i mutual. hope it's not too busy weekend for you! just to say that the prime minister borisjohnson has returned his questionnaire regarding lockdown parties. around fifty people received the document, which has the same status as information given in an interview under caution. the prime minister has previously said he didn't believe he'd broken any rules but apologised "for the things we simply didn't get right".

he has instructed lawyers that his situation is unique. we will have more from the munich security conference in the coming hours. canadian police have clashed with protestors and made more than a hundred arrests — while trying to clear a demonstration that has brought the capital to a standstill. the anti—covid restriction movement has used lorries to block roads in ottawa for three weeks. aru na iyengar reports. police work together in a planned action trying to clear protesters from the streets in downtown 0ttawa. so far, the protest to be nonviolent but now scuffles are breaking out. we are focused on returning a city to the place we all know and love. we will run this operation 24—hour is a day until residence in the
