the headlines: there have been several powerful explosions near kyiv as residents hunkered down for another night in shelters. multiple reports say an explosion was caused by a missile attack on a fuel depot station. a un refugee agency says invasion has driven more than 150,000 people to flee ukraine to the west and the vast majority have gone to poland, many to join friends and family and others in hungary, moldova, romania and slovakia. a western coalition including the united states, the eu, canada and the uk are to cut off some russian banks from the swift banking payment system. the eu chief, ursula von der leyen, says it is designed to cripple the financial system of russia.

i have a real moral responsibility to ensure that the club continues for as long as it possibly can. welcome to clacton railway social club. this through here is our office. this is where all the magic happens and where me and alan spend most of our time. i apologize now for the filing system, but this is alan's filing system, not mine. this is probably the hub of the business behind the scenes. it's my idea of hell, so i try not to be in it too much. how would i describe the club? it's unique. i've always referred to it very similar to peter kay's phoenix nights. just let me get this straight again. two lads walk in off the street and take the television and you did nothing. we thought you'd arranged it. arranged what? they were wearing overalls. none of our committee

get paid whatsoever. it is all voluntary. not bingo, no. i think it's boring. i started four years ago to help them out. i'm still doing it. alan is the key person in the club, i would say, next to my dad. his properjob is a driver, a taxi driver, but to me, he's taxi alan. most of them come up with £20 notes to buy £50 books. it's annoying. we have pam pink, who is a trustee of the club, she's in charge of the bingo in the raffle and no one gets through that door without being sold a raffle ticket. raffle tickets. going once, going twice. i'm gone. my dad, he's a character. after 25 years, i am the boss, right? he can be quite volatile, but that's because he cares and he's passionate. kelly is very abrasive.

# i want to break free. my career and life was very, very different before, i went into banking at 18, every possible way you can imagine it's different to the corporate world. alan? there's no real set targets. there's no real structure to any day. what's he done with that? it's a profit and loss statement, and my agenda for tonight. leave me in peace five minutes. what is that in your little blue

pile there? 0h, what's that? no, that's a bank statement. alan's safe place. it is a safe place. you will eventually find it. it's just the process of finding it and how long it's going to take. this is people placing things in different places where they should — in different places where they should not be. you got it? got what? you found it? not at all. tonight is the committee meeting. can it be a bit challenging? yes, extremely. depending on what is being discussed. at the moment, purchasing discussed. at the moment purchasing all the fruit for the bar is pulling

all the fruit for the bar is pulling on alan's shoulders and pam is on alan's shoulders and pam is getting the fruit. ifind it a little bit tiring at times but it is little bit tiring at times but it is a different world. i have some ideas, but i do get carried away, but i think it would be nice to maybe have a face painter for the children, maybe a candy floss machine, ice lollies. i don't know what people's thoughts are on it. just leave us alone to have a quiet drink. just hold no because we need to be attracting, come the middle of attracting, come the middle of september. i tend to come in and put my business head on, and that can cause a few issues at times. but for us, the next couple

of months and the events that we're putting on are really going to determine for us the future of the club. we have to modernize the way that we work and the way the club operates to ensure that we stay open. me and my sister, we worry tremendously that if the club was to close where our dad would go, what would be his life? i'll get really upset if we talk about my dad. yeah, i really love my dad. my dad means everything to me. and because the club means everything to him, that's why we do everything that we do.

the club is my life and the people. . it's my life. they're all my friends, l so i'm here representing all of them. if the club was to close, i think i'll be dead - in about a year. i would die of boredom. just other people coming here wouldn't be alive . people coming here wouldn't be alive either. getting through the summer period is a huge hurdle. it's always a worry financially for us. i've always lived in clacton. my family are from clacton. so, yeah, i couldn't imagine living anywhere else really. like my dad could never venture out of clacton without having a nosebleed. he is literally born and bred, and he's very proud of that.

the pier and the beaches are probably our biggest competitors, because why do you want to be sat inside on a sunny day when you can be out sitting on the pier, having a drink or relaxing on the beach? it's absolutely manic along here. i try and avoid it at all costs, being a local. in the summer, people flock to this area, as you can see now, it's busy now. that was shut down, sold off, and that's now been converted into flats. so does that worry you, that? yeah, because you know,

that could be us. i used to live in a railway terrace block of six overl the other side of car park. i was a guard. i lived at number five and a driver moved . in number six, seemed the natural thing - to come in here and drink with. and there'll be . a big crowd of us in here and it's just total fun. i you know, we'll have a drink and a laugh . and it's just a way of life. come out the door, i could fall home and sometimes did, - fell asleep in my garden.

everything has been sold off around us, so it's really key that we get a new tenancy agreement signed because at the moment we don't have one. they could actually give us six months notice and ask us to leave the building. so we are hanging on by a thread at the moment. today is a really big day for us because we are getting back a lot of our older members that haven't been in for absolutely ages and there are some huge characters in here. you've got bill, you've got linda, you've got knocker, you've got pat. have you seen emmerdale? i love it.

that girl's terrible. she is a cow. jeff, how are you? nice to see you. thank you. jeff is very much part of the club. he has a dry sense of humour. hello, george. are you all right? you 0k? yes, thank you. this is a lifestyle. so for them to be able to come up over the bar and have a laugh and a giggle. they'll take the mick out of alan as he's calling the bingo, and if he messes up, you'll hear him screaming and shouting. and then for us, it's about our members feeling that the club is back. gorgeous george they call me. why? because i am gorgeous, i am attracted to women. we look after attracted to women.

we look after george. they make you welcome. fingers crossed today. keep looking at the door and the time to see at the door and the time to see everything, whether they are sitting we just like this table. we just like this table. we have a laugh. my dad genuinely cares. he comes across as being a really hard person and he's got this real hard exterior, but he is probably the most caring person i know. he would never, ever admit that. what is your nickname? mo, or mouthy. because i talk loud. and i laughed aloud. and i am cheeky. but i am never rude. lots of abuse and i don't care.

some chairman don't don't get any. - some chairman don't come out and - see their club butjohn come . out and see their club butjohn is here every single day- and he is here every single day and he makes people welcome. it is a monumental day for the south and it is nice to see so many people in here because it bringsjoy to me. people do belong here in the club. that is what we thrive on. friendship. ready to go? first number out is 86. 86. for some people, i think they're extremely isolated and lonely. but for those few hours, they're back in the club with their friends there. you know, it's taken their mind off whatever's maybe worrying them. 44. i think when someone is a member, it's belonging somewhere. it's like, "oh, yeah, i'm a member. "i belong to that club." and i think that gives a lot of people a lot of assurances

that maybe they're not alone. two and seven, 27. blimey! that's normal for her! ta ke two. thank you. thank you, darling. 30 quid. that will pay- for the bingo for the next couple of weeks! the club gets hold of you — that's why i'm invested so much. i believe in the club and i see the impact the club has on so many people's lives. we are theirfamily and friends. god bless you all. take care. bye — bye. bye! bye, everybody. bye, george.

# goodbye, goodbye... alan, stagger them. 0ne, one, two, three. when we have our �*90s nights or anything, thatis where kelly is in her element. right, we need to get those runners on the tables. so this is how i'd like the tables to look. she'll have me and alan, like her little minions, we'll come in. she'll tell us where we need to be, what we need to do. and then the third one... me and kelly make a good team — probably because she likes to be really bossy. are you using those weights? yes! can you not use the orange ones? i have tied them on now. i am quite happy

to be bossed around. together 20 two best years of my life. she always has cuddles and life. she always has cuddles and died before we go to sleep. we died before we go to sleep. we call him gorgeous george and even even 80—year—old men will come in and say "all right, gorgeous george?" here we go. hello. you all right? you 0k? how are you feeling? i have some bits and bobs here. come in.

watch how you go. george i am just going to put this on the worktop for you. i will pop it in here. a lot of them you look upon almost like you look upon almost like grandparents and you can have a bit grandparents and you can have a bit of fun and banter with them. they want me to get you anything for tuesday? lynx africa again? the africa one. you love a bit of that. smelling fresh. it attracts the women. you should know attracts the women. you should know that. also there is a lot of love that. if they needed you, i would like to think they could would like to think they could always call upon us and we can always do everything we could for them. the relationship goes beyond them. the relationship goes beyond just members. feeling better today? yes. you have been very kind to me.

come here. all right? yeah. you sure? anything else you need? no, just the company of you ladies — no, just the company of you ladies. you are nice people. i will— ladies. you are nice people. i will say— ladies. you are nice people. i will say that. i will see you on tuesday. call alan if you need anything and i will catch you on tuesday. see you later. those vulnerable members that do live on honourable members that do live alone might not have anybody you feel a sense of else, you feel a sense of responsibility so if we don't see them for a few days

or a couple of weeks, it is such a tight family unit in here, that would raise an alarm. if we didn't i don't know if there would be anybody else that there would be anybody else that would. into the '905 we go tonight. mine is a lot bigger than yours! can you do the tambourine? i think you have got at the wrong way round, babes.

macarena plays. i think it is going really well. lots of new faces in and lots of new members. the bar is busy and people are enjoying themselves so i am are enjoying themselves so i am really pleased at the turn out so far. i don't mind it but it is not my area. —— era. iam 60. i am too old for this music. but i will put up with it! we have quite a few new members come in, definitely, which will be really nice if we can sign up as well because that is the type of crowd i would like to type of crowd we would like to attract, the weekend would be sorted.

oasis plays. # today is going to be the day # that they're going to throw it back to you. # i don't believe that anybody feels the way i do about you now. # i said maybe you're going to be # the one that saves me... do think you have made a profit? yes, your older generation will have £20 in their pocket and that will last them a night. the younger generation have cards, we don't know what we spend cards, we don't know what we spend because it is tap, tap. when we have younger events, the takings are more, younger events the takings are more, they will start to have their drinks and then the shots will come out and then we have cocktails tonight. the people we met,

most of the emerald —— them are all older than us but they are just nice than us —— nice people. they walked in - and thought we would have one drink and then we stayed for a couple. the fish bulbs. stayed for a couple. it is a good night out. it has been a great night. thank you to the dj. round of applause for everybody. see you all again soon. really pleased with the turnout. we had 2000 people. hopefully they will become members. everyone seems to have a lovely time. the dance floor has been packed and the bar has been has been packed but i will know tomorrow when we do the takings. looking at the figures, £2346.26. that is very good for us. it is nights

like that that really keep us alive. hello! hello, emma. how are you? really good. let me take that for you. what are you looking at? have i done something to my hair? no, you are a lovely lady to look at. the running costs are very high for a club of this size. they are will high for a club of this size. i will be glad when we have our darts players back. hopefully september onwards, i would like to see our figures creeping up and up. i have bits and bobs. there is no rest, you literally cannot rest. the minute you take your foot off the pedal, you get three or four days where have bad takings and you're back to square one. it is a struggle,

every day, coming —— the commitment to owning a business within the sector is so hard. miserable day again. we currently haven't got a signed lease so our landlords could serve us a six—month notice and we would be gone. i have grown up with these people since i grown up with these people since i was four years old, so they are part of my family as well, so i would do everything i can to ensure we can open those doors for these people. hello, jeff. # i met my love by the gasworks. # dreamed a dream by that old canal. # smell the springl on the smoke wind. # dirty old town.

cheering. # clouds are drifting across the moon. # cats are prowling on their beat. # spring's a girl in the street at night. # dirty old town. whether through the remainder of the weekend is continuing on a dry, settled theme and high pressure in charge, some cloud putting in and a breeze across northern ireland and scotland but england and wales have had clear skies on saturday and it will be similar into sunday. the satellite shows this area of cloud to the north—west of the uk, a front moving in. you

can see the proximity of the isobars. breezy weather across the north and west but as the front pushes bumps into a big area of high pressure so fizzles out through the day. a chilly start especially for england and wales with some frost around and also eastern scotland. plenty of sunshine for most areas but this weak front is draped to the irish sea, bringing cloud to western scotland, northern ireland, drizzle here, some cloud into premature and cornwall but what southerly winds for most of us southerly winds for most of us so if you have blue skies and sunshine, it will be pleasant. temperatures between eight and ii. temperatures between eight and ii. into the evening, initially things looked quite dry and clear and we keep the clear spells for longest across eastern england but from the west, the next band of cloud and patchy rain moves in, another weather front, with us to start off monday. not as cold first thing monday, certainly compared to first thing sunday, because more cloud, outbreaks of rain and breeze. monday will be

dominated by this frontal system which slowly pushes east across much of the uk. i think it'll be quite slow to reach east anglia and the south—east so here you may well keep some sunny spell through the course of the day but elsewhere a fair bit of cloud and windy, gail's possible towards the western isles, and it will clear out of scotland and northern ireland but quite slow—moving for parts of northern england and wales towards the south. another mild day with temperatures up to 12. tuesday, high pressure across much of the uk but this trailing frontal system may spill some rain across some sub— counties of england perhaps into south wales but some uncertainty about how far north or south the system will be. across much of the uk we are thinking high pressure will dominate, bringing dry and settled weather. call on tuesday i think. in the middle of the week, rain lingering in the south on wednesday and more rain in the north—west by thursday.

this is bbc news. the headlines: another terrifying night for the citizens of kyiv with reports of a massive explosion south—west of the capital. this is the scene live in the city as people seek shelter from further russian military attack. the exodus grows, more than 100,000 have already fled to neighbouring countries. tougher sanctions on russia, the eu calls for a number of russian banks to be removed from the swift banking system. as russia goes ahead with their assault on ukraine and other cities, we resolve to impose on putting massive costs on
