tomorrow morning. that is it for me this lunchtime. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at five past six, bye for now. you're watching the bbc news channel. it is now 1:12pm. let's return to our top story. the prime minister is warning that any russian invasion of ukraine would see the destruction of a democratic state. moscow denies it's planning to invade. it is conducting military drills at the moment in belarus and in russia, both which have borders with ukraine. at an international security conference in munich, borisjohnson said such a move by russia would cause shocks around the world.
1:13 pm
as i said to president putin during our last conversation, we in the uk still hope that diplomacy and dialogue may yet succeed. but we also have to be unflinchingly honest about the situation today. when over 130,000 russian troops are gathering on the borders of ukraine, and when more than 100 battalion tactical groups threaten that european country, we must be united against that threat because we should be in no doubt what is at stake here. if ukraine is invaded and if ukraine is overwhelmed, we will witness the destruction of a democratic state, a country that has been free for a generation, with a proud history of elections. and every time that western ministers have visited kyiv, we have assured the people of ukraine and their leaders
1:14 pm
that we stand foursquare behind their sovereignty and independence. how hollow, how meaningless, how insulting those words would seem if, at the very moment when their sovereignty and independence is imperiled, we simply look away. if ukraine is invaded, the shock will echo around the world, and those echoes will be heard in east asia. they will be heard in taiwan. when i spoke to the prime ministers of japan and australia this week, they left me in no doubt that the economic and political shocks will be felt on the far side of the world. so let me be clear about the risk — the risk now is that people would draw the conclusion that aggression pays and that might is right. so we should not underestimate the gravity of this moment
1:15 pm
and what is at stake. borisjohnson boris johnson speaking in borisjohnson speaking in munich. us vice president kamala harris addressed the munich conference earlier warning "not since the cold war, has this forum convened under such dire circumstances". we have engaged in good faith. russia continues to claim it is ready for talks while at the same time it narrows the avenues for diplomacy. their actions simply do not match their words. and let me be clear, i can say with absolute certainty, if russia further invades ukraine, the united states, together with our allies and partners, will impose significant and unprecedented economic cost. applause
1:16 pm
we have worked intensively with many of you in this room to ensure we are prepared to move forward with consequences. we have prepared together economic measures that will be swift, severe and united. we will impose far—reaching financial sanctions and export controls. we will target russia's financial institutions and key industries. and we will target those who are complicit and those who aid and abet this unprovoked invasion. just after she made that appearance, kamala harris met with the
1:17 pm
president, in fact, she is meeting now with the president of ukraine, president zelensky. unfortunately, they have kept the camera crew out. just as i was going to go to the live pictures, they kick the camera crew out. it is one of those things when the that you get a picture of the two of them talking and they get you out before you hear anything that might be diplomatically sensitive. they have chucked them out a new nick. when they will be back, we will be able to play those pictures a little later. 0ur pictures a little later. our international correspondent was outside to speak to ursula von der leyen, the former german defence minister at the conference. she asked her how prepared is europe to accommodate a possible influx of ukrainian refugees in the event of an invasion. yes, we are in constant contact. yesterday evening, we had a call with president biden and justin trudeau, borisjohnson and european
1:18 pm
leaders and jens stoltenberg. we are constantly aligning, for us it is important to do everything possible to give diplomacy a chance, but also to give diplomacy a chance, but also to be prepared for the worst. that to be prepared for the worst. at this moment, is there still that chance? president biden seems absolutely certain that an attack is about to happen. i absolutely certain that an attack is about to happen.— absolutely certain that an attack is about to happen. i think diplomacy has not spoken _ about to happen. i think diplomacy has not spoken its _ about to happen. i think diplomacy has not spoken its last _ about to happen. i think diplomacy has not spoken its last word. - about to happen. i think diplomacy has not spoken its last word. it - about to happen. i think diplomacy has not spoken its last word. it is i has not spoken its last word. it is of paramount importance that we keep up of paramount importance that we keep up the diplomatic channels. as far as i am informed, tomorrow president macron will call president putin, the same goes for chancellor schultz, secretary blinking will be meeting love next week. there are still the chance for peace and negotiation, but we are also prepared to answer with a robust package of severe sanctions in case there is any kind of military aggression russia towards ukraine. the russians have laughed off the
1:19 pm
possibility of sanctions. is it possible that they could include banning russia from the swift financial system that the world uses? that would be punishing. everything is on the table, including swift. everything is on the table. the final political decision will be taken in case there is an aggression of russia towards ukraine. for us, it is important that this is the most tricky part, that this is the most tricky part, that we completely align between the united states, united kingdom, and the european union and the financial sanctions to cut off russia from our financial markets. in the export ban with our thousands and thousands of different goods. we'll make sure that they do not reach russia any more, they are existential and vital for russia for its modernisation and diversification, and they cannot be easily replaced. diversification, and they cannot be easily replaced-— easily replaced. ursula von der le en easily replaced. ursula von der leyen speaking _ easily replaced. ursula von der leyen speaking to _ easily replaced. ursula von der leyen speaking to at _ easily replaced. ursula von der leyen speaking to at doucet. l easily replaced. ursula von der - leyen speaking to at doucet. more

from the munich security conference in the afternoon, and you can catch up in the afternoon, and you can catch up what has been said and by who on the bbc news website. let's get more on storm eunice and energy companies working to restore power to up to a quarter of a million homes after the uk was left battered and three people lost their lives. three people have died in the uk and fourin three people have died in the uk and four in belgium and the netherlands. the impact is continuing to affect train services. delays continue, although most parts of the country now have train services of some description once again. the cost of the damage caused by the storm is expected to run into tens of millions of pounds with people making claims for damaged homes and cars. according to insurance companies. ross easton is from the energy networks association. conditions are very challenging, that is what we are hearing. two very rare red weather warnings out there, notjust in terms of being weather warnings at the red scale, but red wind warnings,
1:21 pm
which we have not seen before. the last one prior was in the shetland islands. it gives you a sense of the scale of destruction that has been caused there. a question that we often talk about after the storm is over is resilience. we are told, in particular now, we should expect more storms like this to become more common as the planet is warming up. these have been very treacherous times in terms of storms over the last few months, the good news this morning is that we have 1.3 million people, sorry, 1.1 million people who have been reconnected overnight with the storm damage. engineers working around the clock. but we still have 226,000 people without power at the moment. and 8,000 field staff and engineers working to reconnect people as quickly as they possibly can. a lot of your staff will have been out over the course of the weekend
1:22 pm
last night and this morning trying to do restoration. presumably, the conditions yesterday must have limited what they could safely do? absolutely, and that has been one of the big challenges for us. you would not want friends and family out there. red warnings meant stay at home, pretty much. we had engineers in strategic locations ready for the storm, but we don't want our colleagues out there climbing poles and assessing damage when it is dangerous, extremely dangerous. we have seen some deaths as a result, sadly over the last day or so. we do need to prioritise safety. but once it is safe to do so, we get out there with helicopters up and we can assess the damage as quickly as possible and make use of technology like drones as well to make that process quicker. 8,000 people working pretty much around the clock to reconnect customers as quickly as they possibly can. ross easton at the energy networks association, thank you very much.

0ur reporter, vincent mcaviney, is at the 02 in east london, where parts of the roof were torn off by the wind. it used to be known as the millennium dome. it had been designed as a temporary structure, but parts of it were torn off by storm eunice. you can see the devastating impact of those 80 mile panel wins that the storm brought to east london. all morning, we have heard and seen more tearing of the roof, and seen more tearing of the roof, and there are some engineers out there right now actually looking at there right now actually looking at the damage. the 0 to the millennium dome as it was, it opened 22 years ago. if you have never been before, it is essentially a giant tent with a canvas roof. in the middle, there is an arena which is enclosed, that hosts about 20,000 people the big p0p hosts about 20,000 people the big pop concerts. all the way around it it is an entertainment complex which is basically a street open to that canvas roof. and there are
1:24 pm
restaurants, a cinema, and there are shops. this is the shopping section of the 02. yesterday, there were around 1000 people in there, it was busy with the school holidays. when they heard a loud bang out they were told to evacuate. the emergency services were called, it was declared a major incident. thankfully, no one was actually injured. it remained closed all day, and yesterday, it is closed today as well forcing the cancellation of a simply read an concert, which had been delayed by the pandemic. a banner saying it's a tragic blow for the uk live music scene which is just getting back up on its feet. there are as i mentioned engineers checking this out. those are all custom manufactured canvas panels on this roof, so it will take some time to get new ones produced and get them here. it is unclear how long these repairs are going to take. they are meant to be concerts, ublto
