prime minister, borisjohnson, says plans for an invasion of ukraine may have already begun. i'm afraid to say that the pan with seeing is something that could be really the biggest war in europe since 1945, just in terms of sheer scale. it's as russia and belarus take part in huge military exercises, just 160 kilometres from ukraine's border. great britain finally gets the gold on the last day of the winter olympics. eve muirhead's women's curlers beat japan 10—3 in beijing. the final medal of the games has gone to finland, in the men's ice hockey. the legal requirement to self—isolate after catching covid in england is expected to be dropped from next week — as part of the government's "living with covid" plan. canadian police say they've cleared the main protest site near the country's parliament

and defend their use of pepper spray and stun grenades. right, well there hasn't been much to celebrate at the winter olympics bid to team gb have won gold on the very last day of the women's hurling. let's get the latest and the rest of the sports news. we waited ages for a medal of any kind and we ended up with a silver and a gold. yes, thank goodness for the curling. the men's curlers won a silver yesterday but the women went one better by winning a gold on day 16. finally, that gold medal arrives for team gb. eve muirhead, who won bronze in 2014, now at her fourth games is an olympic champion. with vicky wright, jen dodds, and hailey duff winning gold at their first attempt. ben croucher was watching.

it took until the final day, but good things come to those who wait. that's it! it's a gold medal! great britain have won the olympic title! eve muirhead and her team on the biggest of stages, as cool as ice. this was the olympic final, absent of tension and drama. from the moment muirhead put britain two up at the very first end, the rest went rather smoothly. this could be the most important stone of the match. the team underwent an overhaul last year, but in finding the winning formula left no stone unturned. the game forjapan was all but up after the seventh end. it's four for great britain! two more followed. the golden moment. it's curling gold! eve muirhead has finally done it at the fourth time of asking! for muirhead, twice a losing semifinalist and a bronze in sochi, finally on top of the world. it is a dream come true for myself and for the rest

of the girls as well. it's been a journey to get here. and here we are, we're olympic champions and what a five we are! yeah, it's such a special, special moment. not since 2002, when rhona howie, then rhona martin, and her team won gold in salt lake city have great britain been olympic champions. less than a year ago - at the world championships, eve finished eighth. they went through a whole squad system to try and rejig the team, j get the dynamic right, - and oh my goodness, look what they have achieved in less than a year. - it's phenomenal. in 2022, great britain has its new ice queens. the final day may be, but this one was worth the wait in gold. ben croucher, bbc news. two medals in the end for team gb. the closing ceremony getting under way in beijing in the next two

hours. in the premier league, it looks like we have got a title race again after an extraordinary game at the etihad stadium. spurs, who had lost three premier league games in a row, were 2—1 up going into injury time when city got a penalty. riyed mahrez smashing it beyond lloris which looked to have rescued city a point only for who else but harry kane score the winnerfor spurs deep into injury time that was his second of the game. in the end, spurs winning it 3—2. it's always been the ultimate game but obviously it is one of the best teams in the world and i thought everyone from here all the way through to me at the top worked so hard for the team. like we said, we did have a game plan and we executed it really well. obviously, with football, things can happen. that last minute penalty was tough to

take but it was really special. and has that defeat for manchester city blown the title race wide open? liverpool will think so. they came from behind to beat norwich with sadio mane equalising. then, mo salah put them in front, with his 150th goal for the club. and new signing luis diaz rounded off the victory with his first goal since joining last month. it was a brilliant night for british boxing last night with natasha jonas becoming world champion with a second—round knockout win over christian namus for the wbo super—welterweight title. then, in a fight that was around 17 years in the making, kell brook sensationally beat amir khan. the two former world champions finally fought in front of a packed out manchester arena and it was brook who got the victory in the sixth round, with the referee stopping the contest, to settle one of the most bitter and long—running feuds in british boxing with brook jubilant at the end and khan battered and bruised having given it all he had.

is potentially now retirement on the cards for him. i'll be remembered for this fight, you know, forever. no—one�*s bothered that was my 43rd fight. nobody will remember the 42 fights. they will just remember the fight against amir khan, you know? so i'm so happy that i put that work in and got the victory, you know? and no disrespect to amir — it felt so easy for me in there. i've always said, i never want boxing to retire me — i want to retire from boxing before it does that. and like i said, punishment like that sometimes in boxing... took some big shots today. but too much of that can be sometimes harmful in the future, you know? so, let's see. i'm going to sit there with my wife, my family, my dad and everyone and see where we go from here. but, like i said, credit goes to kell. he put on a great performance today. a tough loss for amir khan to take. that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, here's the papers.

hello and welcome to our look at what the the papers are saying today. with me are matthew stadlen, who's a presenter and writer, and dave wooding, who's political editor of the sun on sunday. this morning's front pages starting with... thank you for sharing your morning with us. let'sjust thank you for sharing your morning with us. let's just take a look through the front pages. the observer front page says if russian forces occupy ukraine, countries in the west are planning to arm resistance groups. the sunday telegraph also looks at the russia—ukraine crisis, with a warning for britain — the home secretary says russia could be preparing a cyber assault. meanwhile the sunday express looks at covid rules, saying a �*defiant�* prime minister plans to �*axe�* remaining coronavirus restrictions in england. the sunday mirror says there's

an investigation into whatsapp messages made by staff at a firm paid by the home office. the sunday times front page looks into the wealthy donors for the conservative party, said to have joined a secret advisory board. and the mail on sunday says that former deputy pm nick clegg is at the centre of a leak inquiry, after concerns were raised he was receiving secret information on plans to regulate facebook. let's start off with the observer front page and a lot of the pages concentrated on the crisis in ukraine and fears of a very imminent invasion. this is looking further ahead, assuming there is a russian invasion that the rest is planning to arm a resistance movement in ukraine if russian forces do go in. yes, there is growing acceptance

that russia is going to go into ukraine and today is a really crucial day because we were told that the russian troops were withdrawing, we will know whether many of them have moved as the day goes on. the olympics is closing, and it was seen that president putin didn't want to invade while the olympics was on. what this observer splash covers is the backdrop to what boris johnson splash covers is the backdrop to what borisjohnson was saying in the powerful speech to the munich security conference yesterday. he said that if russian invaded, it would lead after generations of peace to generations of bloodshed and misery. he talked about lots of russian troops, innocent boys and girls being brought home to their families who suffered tragedy in the same way that the ukrainians well. what this is saying give some

context to that, saying that the west are talking to ukraine about how to fund the insurgency from within if the russian troops to invade, so there seems to be some talks going on about providing weapons, assistance and work to resist the russians, so it will be a long and bloody war if they do go in. , ., ., ., ., long and bloody war if they do go in. there is one thing to go into a country and _ in. there is one thing to go into a country and another _ in. there is one thing to go into a country and another to _ in. there is one thing to go into a country and another to hold - in. there is one thing to go into a country and another to hold it - in. there is one thing to go into a i country and another to hold it down, a bit like the russians found in afghanistan, of course. the telegraph got the warning for cyber attacks as russia flexes its military mind.— attacks as russia flexes its military mind. yes, this is the spill-over— military mind. yes, this is the spill-over impact _ military mind. yes, this is the spill-over impact of— military mind. yes, this is the spill-over impact of any - military mind. yes, this is the i spill-over impact of any conflict military mind. yes, this is the - spill-over impact of any conflict in spill—over impact of any conflict in ukraine _ spill—over impact of any conflict in ukraine to — spill—over impact of any conflict in ukraine to us in britain because we know_ ukraine to us in britain because we know we _ ukraine to us in britain because we know we live in a globalised interconnected world and this is what _ interconnected world and this is what gchq has been warning about and so has _ what gchq has been warning about and so has priti _ what gchq has been warning about and so has priti patel. gchq says there isn't a _ so has priti patel. gchq says there isn't a specific threat to britain

you, pal. most democrats when they come into the white house always look to germany as the important place in europe, in the heart of europe, but of course, when there is a security crisis, they always turn to britain and that has been emphasised. this is showing that borisjohnson is at the heart of what is going on and the response to that. he could in fact bounce back as a result. that. he could in fact bounce back as a result-— as a result. although, that police investigation _ as a result. although, that police investigation into _ as a result. although, that police investigation into downing - as a result. although, that police investigation into downing streetj investigation into downing street parties does continue. it investigation into downing street parties does continue.— investigation into downing street parties does continue. it does and there is a lot _ parties does continue. it does and there is a lot of _ parties does continue. it does and there is a lot of hurdles _ parties does continue. it does and there is a lot of hurdles for- parties does continue. it does and there is a lot of hurdles for boris i there is a lot of hurdles for boris johnson before he gets the next general election. he has got the police inquiry as you rightly say, the whitehall ethics chief report, the whitehall ethics chief report, the local elections in may, which people are predicting will be a bit of a setback for him, then of course, once we get to the summer and recess, will be conservative be plotting again with only a year or

so before an election and if they want a new man or woman in place, they will have to move then. so, there is a lot happening and you've got dominic cummings with senior age with his magic box of tricks. what else is he going to pull out in the weeks ahead? he is not out of the woods yet by a long shot. matthew, the exnress — woods yet by a long shot. matthew, the express have _ woods yet by a long shot. matthew, the express have got _ woods yet by a long shot. matthew, the express have got a _ woods yet by a long shot. matthew, the express have got a defiance - the express have got a defiance boris will axe all covert rules and that something else that the prime minister is hoping the voters will like, the way the government has been able to blend restrictions in england. —— a covert map rules. we are going to get the living with covid rules.— are going to get the living with covid rules. 1, _ ., , covid rules. boris johnson is the international _ covid rules. boris johnson is the international statesman - covid rules. boris johnson is the international statesman on - covid rules. boris johnson is the international statesman on the i covid rules. boris johnson is the - international statesman on the world sta-e international statesman on the world stage and _ international statesman on the world stage and how helpful bet is to him politically — stage and how helpful bet is to him politically. of course, the priority is trying — politically. of course, the priority is trying to— politically. of course, the priority is trying to avoid war but there is no doubt — is trying to avoid war but there is no doubt that headlines about

uk. that has been bringing some heavy rain already. over 80 millimetres of rain in the lake district. heavy rain will clear away from scotland and northern ireland, pushing into england and wales. following that sweater weather, we will see increasing numbers of showers in scotland and northern ireland and they will turn wintry in the hills. some stronger winds perhaps around the western coast of england and wales and as it turns more showery and brightens up a bit in scotland and northern ireland, so it gets colder here. wet and windy and we could see a short, sharp burst of winds sweeping that wayne away this evening. wet weather moves down from the north and we will see the winds strengthening further around parts of northern south—west scotland with gusts of 70 or 80 mph and it will be a colder night than it was last night. we have got a weather system bringing that weather down from the north. most of it will

fall as rain. it will sweep through with the winter turning into a north—westerly direction on monday but it will still be windy through most of the day. the winds will sweep away southwards. it will brighten up with some sunshine coming through. the wind is still pretty strong still into the afternoon. gusts of 50 or 60 mph across england and wales but they will tend to slowly ease down. however, given the strength of the winds, temperatures of eight to 12 degrees, it will feel chillier in the wind. things will calm down a bit on monday night but there is another weather system approaching from the north—west and that will bring some rain into north—western parts of the uk, overnight and some blustery winds as well and that rain bands will sweep its way southwards across england and wales on tuesday. sunshine follows, showers as well. those will be wintry across western part of scotland, as it turns a bit colder here. top temperature — 11 or 12 celsius.

this is bbc news broadcasting in the uk and around the globe. i'm ben brown. our top stories. the british pm warns that russian is planning the biggest conflict in europe since world war two. borisjohnson, says plans for an invasion of ukraine may have already begun. i am afraid to say that the plan that we're seeing points to something that could be really the biggest war in europe since 1945, just in terms of sheer scale. it comes as russia and its ally belarus take part in huge military exercises, just 160 kilometres from ukraine's border the legal requirement to self—isolate after catching covid in england is expected to be dropped from next week — as part

of the government's "living with covid" plan.
