in the uk or around the world. the british prime minister has warned that any russian invasion of ukraine would see the destruction of a democratic state. borisjohnson said that nato — a group of 30 nations in a military alliance — were united at "a moment of extreme danger". the ukrainian president has said his country is determined to protect itself from russia — with or without the support of western allies. paul adams has the latest from kyiv. no need to panic yet — a country already at war for eight years still somehow taking this crisis in its stride. i'm not scared, but my friends, some of them nervous a little, but i don't think that we will have a war. but some say conflict is coming. in areas controlled by pro—russian separatists, civilians are being evacuated to russia, temporary housing set up to receive them.

men of fighting age being told to stay back. translation: my husband is a reserve officer. - the men were warned to stay where they were and children over 18 years old are not allowed out so that everyone is in place. the situation in the east of the country is increasingly alarming, with more shelling along the front lines and the russian—backed separatists saying they are mobilising for an expected attack by ukraine. the government here says it has no such plans and won't be provoked. in munich, a conference dominated by russia's challenge to european security. borisjohnson warning that ukraine cannot be abandoned. 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. but ukraine's president was there too, undiplomatically accusing the west of allowing

all this to happen. translation: now that the world is talking about the threat of a big | war, it begs the question is there anything left to pick up? the security architecture of europe and beyond is almost destroyed. it's too late now to talk about fixing it. it's high time for a new one. but russia seems intent on building one on its terms. itsjoint drills in belarus, just to ukraine's north, due to end tomorrow. a vast display of firepower sending an unambiguously muscular message to the watching world. pauladams, bbc news, kyiv. let's stay with munich. the bbc�*s chief international correspondent, lyse doucet, spoke to us senator and republican lindsey graham who was at the conference. lindsey graham, you heard president biden last night saying that he was pretty confident that president putin had made the decision to invade ukraine. do you agree?

yeah, i think president biden�*s assessment is pretty much spot on. and the question is why would putin do such a thing? he believes it would make him stronger. it dismembers a democracy — ukraine on his border — reconstructs a little bit the old soviet union, but he believes it makes him stronger. i think it will make him weaker. but the biggest mistake we've made as a western world is not to tell putin in writing, "if you do this, here's what comes your way in the energy sector. all of your oligarch buddies are going to lose their ill—gotten gains. we're going to take the yachts and, you know, the lavish apartments we're going to come after your oil and gas economy". the biggest mistake we've made is not to give putin clarity, because the lack of clarity in his world means that you're weak. but hasn't that been rectified? we're hearing from inside the munich security conference of robust sanctions, including in the energy sector by all members of nato. well, president zelensky said today, and it's probably the most consequential speech i've ever heard

at munich, the president of ukraine, he says the lack of writing it down now makes putin believe it's not going to happen later. and if you really believe an invasion is anytime soon now, well, why wouldn't you tell putin and ukraine what's going to come putin's way and the help coming ukraine's way? we made a mistake here. so i can't rectify that mistake in the next 48 hours, but i do believe that republicans and democrats are coming away from this conference with a determination to crush the ruble, to shut down nord stream 2, and to punish the oil and gas sector. the president of ukraine made a great point — in 1994 after the fall of the soviet union, ukraine had the third largest nuclear weapons inventory in the world. they gave up all their nukes with a promise by russia, the united states and,

i think, great britain that their sovereignty would be honored. and zelensky said something that was pretty moving — "is article five of nato — an attack on one is an attack on all — any better than the budapest agreement?" so we need to get this right because china is watching and iran is watching. senator lindsey graham that they are speaking to lyse doucet. tom keatinge is director of the centre for financial crime and security studies at the royal united services institute — a nonpartisan think—tank specialising in defence and security. here's what he makes of the west's response so far. the western allies have learned their lesson from 2014, which is you need to make it very clear in advance what these sanctions will be. we're trying to deter vladimir putin. in 2014, the sanctions came after he had acted, so all these messages we're hearing — whether it's from the foreign secretary, the prime minister, lindsey graham there, kamala harris today as well — are really important because there needs to be absolutely no question that should he cross the line, then these

sanctions will be massive. so lindsey graham and kamala harris speaking in very broad strokes in some ways. could you break it down for our viewers on how it might actually affect somebody like mr putin, for example? and i suppose it may affect regular russians, too. yeah, so helpfully, the uk has published what the sanctions regime would look like. so not the names, but the sectors and the types of people they would go after. so first they've said they will go after people who are connected or are supporting the kremlin, so i think that's pretty clear. the foreign secretary has talked about the oligarchs in london or who have their money in london. the second is there's a long list of strategically important industries that have been named, so energy, extractives, banking, defence technology, all these sorts of things, so i think if you look at the regime that the uk government has published and is ready to use, then i think you can see that there is pretty much no element of the russian economy that wouldn't be touched or, indeed, anybody who has some kind of connection with vladimir putin.

yeah, it's really interesting that it comes at this point. there's been a lot of pressure on the uk government to kind of move forward, even with their economic crime bill. some people felt too slow in getting dirty money at times out of london. i should just mention with crimea as well, that was annexed by russia and, of course, they've really been part of the conflict in eastern ukraine since that time, so for people in that part of the country, they've kind of been going through this or kind of on high alert for a very long time. but with sanctions like this, will they be able to introduce them immediately? because you talk about that being the issue with crimea, that it was a little too late. so the law is in place now. i mean, the problem in the past was obviously the uk was still part of the eu and the eu at that time had to get 28 member states to agree what to do. now the uk is ready, so the uk could issue these sanctions sort of whenever it wants to. and in a way, this is the slightly

baffling thing, which is that both the prime minister and the foreign secretary are talking about going after dirty money that's in london, but i think the question that they need to answer is why does it take the brink of war in europe to finally decide to go after dirty russian money in london? and that, i think, is a question that they will have to answer because, of course, we all hope that there is no movement of russian troops into ukraine again, but that won't change the colour of the russian money in london. and so if they do move ahead with sanctions, often in other countries when they've been imposed, there's a push back talking about "what about the regular citizens of that country?" will they feel it? i'm afraid that will be the reality, but it won'tjust be the reality as a result of damage done to the russian economy because, of course, the russians aren't going to sit there and do nothing, firstly. and secondly, there are very close economic connections between, particularly, certain european countries and russia and if you start sanctioning things like energy, does that mean the lights start going out in certain european countries?

so the self—harm that, particularly, europeans need to be willing to do to their own countries in order to put in place sanctions that are genuinely devastating on russia is something that i don't think we've yet really figured out. thank you very much to tom keatinge. after one of the worst storms to hit the uk in decades, around 155,000 homes are still without power. three people were killed in the ferocious gales of storm eunice yesterday. tonight there's still major disruption to train services across the country, and the severn bridge remains shut. insurance payouts for damage could reach up to £350 million, according to one estimate. and there are more weather warnings in place for tomorrow — a less—severe yellow wind warning for most of the uk, with heavy rain also expected in north west england. danny savage has the latest. it has been a day of assessing storm damage right across the country. in brentwood in essex, a 400—year—old oak tree came

crashing down on a family home, causing extensive damage. all of us were working from home. it was about 11.30 yesterday morning, probably the height of the wind speed, i would say. we just felt the house move and that was a big gust of wind, and seconds later, the tree just crashed into the house and we were covered in dust and just general debris. and we ran outside to see what had happened and we were confronted with what you can see behind us. 140 miles away in gloucestershire, aston on carrant near tewkesbury, aston on carrant near tewkesbury is just one of many places which have been without power since yesterday afternoon. the storm here didn'tjust knock over one tree — it destroyed a whole coppice. and when the bigger ones came down, they took out that electricity wire, knocking out the power for everyone around here. it just went like that. this all happened in pauline's garden. very, very bad. i've never seen the trees moving

like they were yesterday. and i saw them moving and i shouted to my husband, "look at the trees! and i walked back into the kitchen, and by the time i got in the kitchen, he said, "they're going, they're going, it's gone!" it was the needles on the isle of wight where a gust of 122 mph was recorded yesterday as the storm moved across the country. numerous trees were uprooted. and vehicles were blown over on the roads. passengers at preston station were typical of those trying to travel today. it was absolutely awful, carnage. cos we got on at the first stop, we got a seat and everything, but it was standing for a lot of people all the way down. people lost their livesl in these winds and cos we were stood upon a train, - we were just grateful to get home. wales was badly hit by the storm too. in newport, today was about assessing damage and making things safe for the time being. the weather was still causing issues in some areas.

snow fell across parts of northern england. storm eunice may have gone, but the problems caused by it are very much still with us. danny savage, bbc news. very dramatic pictures there and also so many without power, as we mentioned. earlier we heard from ross easton, who's director of external affairs at the energy networks association. they look after power across the uk and ireland. 155,000 people without power at the moment, and the effort really focusing on reconnecting those customers. it's been a mammoth effort. 1.2 million people reconnected. we've got 8000 engineers out there working around the clock to do that as quickly as they safely can, but the challenges are immense. i mean, we've seen the severe weather. we sawjust a second ago a house crushed by a tree. the electricity network also seeing damage from trees and from airborne debris as well.

it's very difficult to predict exactly where that damage is going to come in and also, the challenge we've got is that the storm has been so severe. we've seen two rare red weather warnings. that is very unusual, particularly in terms of the geography as well, so it has been extremely challenging, and the weather continues to be challenging right now as well. well, as well as the situation in the uk, storm eunice has been causing power outages and damage across europe. according to the latest reports, at least 16 people have been killed by falling trees and flying debris in britain, ireland, the netherlands, belgium, germany and poland. anna holligan reports. amsterdam's famous tree—lined streets were transformed into death traps. four people were killed by falling trunks, including someone riding a bicycle. coastal areas experienced the most intense winds, with gusts of up to 90 mph. this was scheveningen, on the edge of the hague.

the highest code red weather warning has been lifted, for now. this is just one garden in one city, but people are clearing up scenes like these and far, far worse right across the netherlands this lunchtime. over the border in belgium, 80 mph winds sent the tip of a crane crashing through the roof of a hospital in tournai. according to local media, none of the patients were killed, but some were injured. across the continent, storm eunice will remain in the memories long after these winds have subsided. anna holligan, bbc news in the hague. sport now, let's get a full roundup from the bbc sport centre. hello and thanks forjoining us. the premier league title race is back on after a harry kane inspired tottenham beat the league leaders manchester city 3—2 at the etihad stadium. city were nine points clear at the start of the day, looking

to maintain their significant advantage at the top. of the night for tottenham, won it for them, when it looked as though the win had slipped away after riyad mahrez equalised from the penalty spot minutes earlier. it's just city's third defeat of the season, as tottenham reignite their push for a top fourfinish. 0bviously, with the line—up, that would have been the ultimate game, but we are playing against one of the best teams in the world and i thought everyone from hugo all the way through work so hard for the team. we did have a game plan and executed it really well and in football, things can happen. considering the last minute penalty, it was tough to take but to get the goal at the end was really second—placed liverpool the greatest beneficiaries, moving to within six points of city after they beat norwich 3—1. mohamed salah scored his

150th goalfor the club. sadio mane also got on the scoresheet and there was a first goal for new signing luis diaz after he joined from porto injanuary. jurgen klopp�*s side have now won eight in a row in all competitions. these boys just don't give up. and we got help again a little bit from the bench bringing again obviously really good players, let me say, like this. that was again, not only like three days ago, the game changer. from that moment on, we played really good football, again like in the early stages of the game and scored wonderful goals. and let's take a look at the rest of the day's games. work to do for frank lampard at everton. they went down 2—0 at southampton. a late winner for chelsea scored by hakim ziyech gave them three points at crystal palace. and a crucial win for watford, as they look to get out of the relegation zone. they beat aston villa 1—0.

now to the winter olympics, where there's just one day to go in beijing and on the penultimate first medal. they were pipped to gold by sweden in the men's curling. sweden went one better than in 2018, where they won silver. it went to an extra end in a tense affair but britain couldn't find the winning moment, leaving them agonising close to ending their 98—year wait for gold in the men's event. new zealand's nico porteous, meanwhile, won gold in a thrilling men's skiing halfpipe final to cap off their most successful ever games. so this is how the medal table looks with one more day of action and five more golds to be won. norway lead the way with fifteen gold medals, 25 in total ahead of germany and the home nation china who have 11 and 9 golds respectively.

and, shortly, a long—standing feud in british boxing will be settled in the ring between two former world champions — 35—year—olds kell brook and amir khan. both have achieved plenty in their professional careers, but this will be the first time they've gone head to head. 0ur reporter ade adedoyin has spoken to the two fighters. i don't know if i feel fear, i am coming, i have done everything i have needed to do. i am ready to fight. what were you saying tim? killer be killed. not literally, but i'm bringing the heat.— killed. not literally, but i'm bringing the heat. killed. not literally, but i'm brinuain the heat. ~ . , ., bringing the heat. what is the final rediction? bringing the heat. what is the final prediction? i _ bringing the heat. what is the final prediction? i am _ bringing the heat. what is the final prediction? i am coming _ bringing the heat. what is the final prediction? i am coming to - bringing the heat. what is the final prediction? i am coming to knock i bringing the heat. what is the final. prediction? i am coming to knock him out. it is prediction? i am coming to knock him out- it is one — prediction? i am coming to knock him out. it is one fight _ prediction? i am coming to knock him out. it is one fight that _ prediction? i am coming to knock him out. it is one fight that will— out. it is one fight that will cement my _ out. it is one fight that will cement my legacy. - even though we have done a lot more overall abroad in america,

in new york, in vegas, this fight is one of the big ones because it's a fight, it's more like a grudge fight and it is bragging rights and something that will always stick with us. they should be out in the next half an hour or so they should be out in the next half an hour orso in they should be out in the next half an hour or so in the ring fighting talk ending our report. and breaking news coming from ukraine, multiple explosions late on saturday and early on sunday, it is a little later there. that is in eastern ukraine in the city of donetsk. the blue areas are the donbas region. donetsk and luhansk are controlled by russian backed separatists, that is to the east of ukraine where you see the border of russia. the origin of the explosions are still not clear, no immediate comments from the separatist authorities rtf with

that. as it develops, we will bring you any updates that come to us —— or the authorities in kyiv. police in the canadian capital, 0ttawa, have used stun grenades as they continue to remove protesters near the federal parliament building. officers said they'd been met with aggression by those who remain. for their part, protesters claim the police were being heavy—handed. dozens of arrests have been made. the protests began after long distance truck drivers objected to covid vaccine mandates. a french modelling agent and a former associate of the late us financier and sex offender jeffrey epstein has been found dead in his prison cell in paris. jean—luc brunel was found in the early hours of this morning at la sante prison. the 76—year—old had been detained since december 2020 as part of an inquiry into allegations of rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment. in august 2019, jeffrey epstein was found hanged in prison in new york while he awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

if the hype is to be believed, the digital art world is in the grip of a revolution which is changing not only how it's bought and sold, but also ideas about the kind of art and artists we value. non—fungible tokens — or nfts — are apparently bringing about this market change, giving all creative content producers a new platform to profit from their work, as well as greater digital protection. sophie long has been to seattle where the first nft museum has just opened. my dad didn't believe it at first. he was kind of like, "this has to be, like, fake money. are people really paying this much?" you know? once a bit of it hit the bank, he was like, "whoa!". it's like, "this is real". jayden stitt made his first piece of digital art on a whim less than a year ago, when he was just 15. after the first sale, a lot of collectors started reaching out to me. and so within that first sale, they saw that work that i had already up and they're like, "hey, would you mint this for me?" minting basically means publishing your work

so people can buy it. and so three more collectors asked me to make pieces for them for 20 etherium each. that's a cryptocurrency. and so i ended up selling four pieces for 20 etherium in one day, so that was around $120,000. it was crazy in one day. that's a good day! yeah, that was like... my parents didn't believe it. they were like, "what? i" now he's making big bucks and branching out. his mum has quit herjob to be his manager, and he's got his own creative team. i'm hoping sometime this year to be in a major auction house sale, either sotheby�*s or christie's or phillips, any of them, and be the youngest artist ever. well, that is not beyond the realm of possibility. this wild west of art, flooded with young, digitally native talent, is going mainstream, with teenagers making millions. and the first nft museum has just opened in seattle. i'm just useless when it comes to this kind of stuff. charles peterson was taking pictures of the grunge music scene 30 years ago.

now he's turning them into digital art. the blockchain is great as an archival means. the blockchain is a network that stores cryptocurrencies and records transactions. someday i'm going to pass away and my website's going to go away and all that but, theoretically, the blockchain won't, so my work will be up there in eternity. the creators have basically brought art from the digital world into the physical world to give people who wouldn't normally come across it — so—called normies — a taste in the hope of building a bridge between the two. i consistently post these kind of rooms that have become this metaverse world of neon saltwater. that's basically a virtual reality space where users can interact. now, nfts has given me an opportunity to put them on the marketplace and sort of monetise my work, and it also allows me to have my artwork stay in the digital realm. critics say this is about generating

money, not art, and it uses an incredible amount of energy to keep this growing market moving, but young digital artists are hoping to flourish in a technicolour future. sophie long, bbc news, seattle. now it's time for a look at the weather with louise lear. hello there. today, for many, it's been a day to assess some of the damage brought by storm eunice. but on top of that, we've also seen some tricky weather conditions out there today — a spell of heavy rain and, at times, some snow moving across the peak district and up into the pennines as we speak. at the same time, north of that, it was a beautiful day. after recent heavy snow eased on friday in scotland, we had blue sky and sunshine. beautiful in perth and kinross. this has been the story, then, over the last few hours — the wet weather pushed in from the west and you can see where the snow was across parts of derbyshire, south yorkshire, easing away off to the east before another system moves in through the night tonight, bringing yet more wet

and windy weather with it. in fact, we will see widespread gales on exposed coasts once again as we head into tomorrow. so the rain first thing quite light and patchy across central and southern england, but some heavier bursts of rain across southern parts of northern ireland, moving into northern england and eventually into wales. that's going to gradually drift its way steadily eastwards throughout the day. for scotland, for northern ireland, sunny spells and blustery showers, but we could see gusts of winds in excess of 55—60 mph on exposed coasts, 45—50 inland, so another pretty windy afternoon. mild with it across england and wales —11—13 celsius. a little bit cooler with those wintry showers continuing in scotland. now as we move out of sunday into monday, still low pressure sitting to the north of the country, still plenty of isobars on the chart. it's going to drive in plenty of showers first thing, with the strongest of the winds first thing on monday morning, again gusting close to 55—60 mph.

but as we go through the morning on monday, the winds should start to ease and so too should some of those showers. so into the afternoon, we'll see more in the way of sunshine coming through, so despite the wind direction swinging around to a north—westerly, with a little bit more sunshine coming through now and we're in the middle of february, temperatures will still hold up into double figures for many. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, it's a similar weather story really. low pressure sits up into the north. plenty of isobars on the charts, still unfortunately wet and windy at times. and you can see that on the outlook tuesday into wednesday. wednesday, a bit of a respite across england and wales, with a little more sunshine to look out for.

hello this is bbc news. the headlines... ukraine's president says international rules protecting countries from attack are no longer working, amid fears of a russian invasion. translation: the security architecture of our world is brittle, it is obsolete, the rules that have been agreed upon by the world dozens of years ago are no longer working. they are neither catching up with the new threats, nor
