the headlines. there are reports of a large explosion south—west of the ukrainian capital of kyiv. it is believed to be the explosion of a fuel depot, a0 commoners from the centre of the capital. reports say it was hit by a russian missile. a curfew is currently in place for all of sunday. the un refugee agencies as the russian invasion has driven more than 100,000 people to flee ukraine to countries further west. the vast majority have gone to poland, many to join friends orfamily. have gone to poland, many to join friends or family. many others have gone to countries such as hungary, moldova, romania and slovakia. the western coalition including the united states, the eu, canada and the uk is to cut off some russian banks from the swift banking payment system. the european commission president said that the aim of the move was to cripple president putin's ability to finance his military forces.

president biden has been speaking about the ukraine crisis. he said that mr putin has deeply miscalculated and his actions have only served to unify opinion against him. so, what help is the unify opinion against him. so, what help is the us unify opinion against him. so, what help is the us government planning to provide. here is our correspondent. i think the most significant thing today is the fact that they are operating what has been described as an unprecedented third round of emergency security assistance, using special presidential powers known as the presidential drawdown authority. this totals $350 million of military assistance thatis million of military assistance that is being described by the state department as a package which includes further lethal defence assistance to address armoured airborne and other threats. and it brings, now, to a total of more than $1 billion of military assistance given by

the united states to the ukraine over the last year. interestingly, i have been speaking to a former commander of the us army in europe who was actually in kyiv a few weeks ago and he said that what the ukrainians are desperate for is a defence systems. mobile weaponry that they can bring down drones and helicopters with. so if this assistance is what it says it is then that is very significant indeed. but, of course, getting it there remains a problem. the general told me that it is becoming increasingly difficult to deliver, russia is moving to block ground roots, particularly from poland, and of course the us cannotjust fly military aircraft into ukrainian space at the moment. now i bbc news it is time for the travel show. this week on the travel show. i am in the alps where the debate over these continues. 1lfizfist over these continues. vast ener: over these continues. vast energy use. _ over these continues. vast energy use, vast _ over these continues. vast energy use, vast water - over these continues. vast l

tourists and skiers, like myself, are demanding better quality snow and longer seasons, resorts here have to turn towards artificial snow to extend their seasons into guaranteed better let his ski days. beijing was the first winter olympics to be 100% reliant on the creation of artificial snow. 222 million litres of water were needed to create the snow conditions and thatis create the snow conditions and that is the equivalent of 85 olympic —sized swimming pools. 0lympic —sized swimming pools. 0nce no gun alone can create the equivalent of ten lorry loads in an hour. but artificial snow is not new. backin artificial snow is not new. back in 1980, lake plus it was the first 0lympic back in 1980, lake plus it was the first olympic games to use the first olympic games to use the stuff but the growth and reliance at sochi and pyongyang showed that this is a growing problem for winter sports and ski resorts are like. it

creates _ ski resorts are like. it creates artificial snow and since the 1980s, resorts notice that the snow was coming later and there was less of it and melted sooner so to adapt to that they started to create artificial snow. so noise pollution, obstruction of water from natural river systems, vast energy use, vast water use other typical symptoms or four of artificial snow. so, other typical symptoms or four ofartificialsnow. so, of course, alpine resorts rely on the ski season, especially now after a rough couple of years. but the key barriers like this going in the face of climate change is a delicate balance. and that is why i have come here, in particular, to see what they are doing about it. the alps has 35% of the world's ski resorts and attracts around 120 million tourists each here. here on the french side of the

mountains they say it is important to direct skiers to areas where there is natural snow rather than relying on creating it. snow rather than relying on creating it— snow rather than relying on creating it-_ creating it. we think that if we adapt — creating it. we think that if we adapt we _ creating it. we think that if we adapt we will _ creating it. we think that if we adapt we will be - creating it. we think that if we adapt we will be able i creating it. we think that ifj we adapt we will be able to creating it. we think that if. we adapt we will be able to ski for a long time and for us the solution is not to do more and more snow, it is to make a good choice and it works very well and we reduce the percentage of all the power we need, we want to take just what we need, and not more. as winters with unreliable snow become more common, sodas artificial snow. 0n the other side of the alps in austria they see the use of machines is essential to supplement demand.

the beijing winter olympics have promised to be 100% renewable in the energy used and in this resort they are turning to renewables for snowmaking.

it is not on the ski industry all visitors to solve this problem on their own and there is a desire to protect what they have now. but can artificial snow ever be a long—term solution? i artificial snow ever be a long-term solution? i think it will always — long-term solution? i think it will always require _ long-term solution? i think it will always require vast - will always require vast amounts of water, always, because that is what snow is, after all, and sure, the shift to renewable energy is welcome but we will still need ways to make sure that the artificial snow does not melt and that will cause impact as it leaches back into the soil. so we can make improvements but that lets not misunderstand, artificial snow cannot be environmentally friendly and never will be. i see the results that are often dependent on expensive polluting artificial snow

needing to diversify into other forms of tourism. a great opportunity for them. but for now with the _ opportunity for them. but for now with the spirit _ opportunity for them. but for now with the spirit of - now with the spirit of adaptation in mind, some resorts are putting rivalries aside and working with competitors to help spread best practice across the industry. of course we are very happy to of course we are very happy to welcome other ski resorts, even if they are not from the same company as us, to explain what we didn't give them all the figures. it is not the solution to everything but we're thinking that if everybody did same it is the beginning of a solution and the goals we have to achieve. and if you are heading to the slopes and keen on keeping your footprints more, here are some things you can think about it this season saw the launch of the travel

ski express train. you can take the train direct from london to murcia and saint moritz in france. the shuttle services and provided part of the package to take you to six nearby resorts. 0mitting the need to fly or rent a car. now who wouldn't want to ski under the looming matterhorn? the swiss see —— swiss ski villages car free and reachable swiss see —— swiss ski villages carfree and reachable by swiss see —— swiss ski villages car free and reachable by train but they have horse—drawn sleighs and electric buses get around. plus when the ski lift system needs new cables, the old ones are recycled to make bridges for remote communities in myanmar. next up is austria where all of the ski lifts run on renewable energy. also hydropower pumps water from the reservoir to the snow cannons and when it melts the water goes back to the hydro station, producing more energy to do

finally, over in america, park city in utah is working on being carbon neutral. running on 100% renewable electricity for all of its city operations this year. it is also invested in an 80 megawatts solar farm due to be completed in 2023. stay with us because still to come, we are day tripping in bath. ., , ., bath. remind me what year it is? it is 213a.d. _ bath. remind me what year it is? it is 213a. d. and - bath. remind me what year it is? it is 213a.d. and flying - is? it is 213a.d. and flying hiuh in is? it is 213a.d. and flying high in ghana. _ is? it is 213a.d. and flying high in ghana. so - is? it is 213a.d. and flying high in ghana. so don't i is? it is 213a.d. and flying high in ghana. so don't go away. welcome back to a very sunny place and you may be wondering where you can see a few brown patches behind me? that is because it has not snowed here in almost a month.

we have high pressure in charge of our weather and a bit more cloud pushing in and breeze across northern ireland and scotland but for england and wales, we have had fairly clear skies on saturday and it will be a similar picture into sunday as well. this is the satellite image that shows the area of cloud to the north—west of the uk. the weather front is starting to move in and you can see the proximity of the isobars. some breezier weather across northern and western areas but as the front pushes its way eastwards, it bumps into a bigger area of high pressure so it will fizzle out through the day. certainly a chilly start for england and wales with a touch of frost around, and also eastern scotland, a chilly start, plenty of sunshine for most, but a weak front draped through the irish sea will bring more cloud to parts of western scotland, northern ireland, some drizzle and some cloud into the likes of pembrokeshire and cornwall but light southerly winds for most of us so if you have blue sky and sunshine it will be pleasant. temperatures between 8—11 on sunday. into the evening, initially, things are looking quite dry

and clear and we keep the clear spells for the longest across eastern england but from the west, this band of cloud and patchy rain moves in, another weather front, with us to start monday. not as cold first thing, certainly compared to sunday, because we have cloud, outbreaks of rain and a breeze. monday then will be dominated by this frontal system which will push its way east across much of the uk. it will be quite slow to reach east anglia and the south—east so here you may well keep some sunny spells through the course of the day but elsewhere cloud, wendy, gail is possible —— of the day but elsewhere cloud, wiundy, gails gail is possible towards the western isles, and it will clear it of scotland and northern ireland but slow moving the parts of northern england into wales and towards the south—west and another fairly mild day, temperatures 12. high pressure sits across the uk but we have this trailing frontal system, it may well spill rain across southern counties

of england and into south wales perhaps but uncertainty about how far north or south it will be. across much of the uk we are thinking high pressure will dominate, bringing high and settled weather. touch cooler on tuesday. towards the middle of the week, rain lingering in the south on wednesday. more rain in the north—west by thursday. goodbye.
