who's deputy director of the atlantic council's eurasia centre, and natalie fahy, editor of the nottingham post. let me bring you up—to—date at home. a stark headline in the i — putin bombs civilians — and a picture of the skies above kyiv glowing with fire following russian rocket strikes near the city. the uk's metro free newspaper has a picture of a paramedic trying to help a young girl and the words of a ukrainian doctor fighting to save wounded children — "show this to putin" the international version of the financial times rounds up the latest situation, focusing on attacks on ukraine's second city of kharkiv. but also covers oil giant shell ending its biggest projects in russia in response to the invasion. the french daily, le figaro, says europe faces up to putin — highlighting severe sanctions,

distressing, some of those front page is that we are going to be looking at later of children dying, being attacked, schools being bombed, you just really don't know how this is all going to end now, you know that image they are just sums up what we are looking at. it's just terrific. it nicely sums it up there some of the top lines tonight, dozens killed, moscow changing tactics, as i said, civilian losses, people in bomb shelters, the important lines about the russian economy being hammered by sanctions, interest rates doubling up to 20%. the kremlin perhaps underestimating what they are facing in ukraine. i am sorry i called you melanie, melinda, this is an unusual format evenin melinda, this is an unusual format even in british newspapers to have bullet points on the front page, but it's quite an effective one,

10:51 pm
feared? that sounds a strange question, but i will ask it anyway, it rational, as it rational to engage in indiscriminate attacks? can i stop asking —— can i ask that we stop using the red rational, vladimir putin is not going to make the same decisions that you or i would make. the vitamin put we see todayis would make. the vitamin put we see today is not a vitamin put in that we have been studying since the end of 1999. we have been studying since the end of1999. he's we have been studying since the end of 1999. he's very different, so if you have talked to people in meetings with him recently, he wants to shout about has to —— russia's extra grievances. he goes back to what the west has done to me, about nato encirclement. he doesn't want to talk about how to cool temperatures. he's a different person and he's really weird. he demanded that emanuel background takes three pcr tests before he would see him. we saw these hilarious pictures, he is putting background on one side and put on the other side, he doesn't want to get anywhere near to his security
10:52 pm
staff as well. he's isolated. we know that. in order to get a meeting with putin, you had to quarantine for two weeks. at this is the end of quote that, right? he should be more liberal in his covid behaviour. he was paranoid before covid and he's become very paranoid in the coded period. a lot of people, the rumour in ukraine has he is immunocompromised and afraid of getting sick. that's just a rumour that was. getting sick. that's “ust a rumour that was. . . ., ., .,~ that was. natalie, what do you make ofthat that was. natalie, what do you make of that front — that was. natalie, what do you make of that front page? _ that was. natalie, what do you make of that front page? a _ that was. natalie, what do you make of that front page? a very _ that was. natalie, what do you make of that front page? a very powerful l of that front page? a very powerful image, a member of our progression militia standing next to a shelled house in ukraine yesterday. it is in one of the areas that was already effectively russian controlled. i thought of indiscriminate acts, i think i'm right in saying hundreds of people on the streets of nottingham on sunday, am i right in saying that, or over the weekend. echoing protests in cities all over europe. echoing protests in cities all over euro e. . , echoing protests in cities all over euroe. . , .,, ., europe. that is right. there was a hue europe. that is right. there was a huge turnout _

10:54 pm
anti—aircraft, just looking at my notes, actually, ithink anti—aircraft, just looking at my notes, actually, i think it's material being anti—tank weapons and assault weapons being loaded onto planes at athens airport in other words, this is another example of people from western countries supplying arms to try and reinforce the ukraine army efforts. so supplying arms to try and reinforce the ukraine army efforts. 501 supplying arms to try and reinforce the ukraine army efforts. so i think this is the headline _ the ukraine army efforts. so i think this is the headline and _ the ukraine army efforts. so i think this is the headline and it's - the ukraine army efforts. so i think this is the headline and it's not - the ukraine army efforts. so i think this is the headline and it's not on | this is the headline and it's not on any of the newspapers you sent me. from america, we are shocked. europe has woken up, right? this is in the pc had in the new york times, he says that self—serving denial is and prevents the west and prevents us from seeing the obvious, and that sticks out to me. putin has been very clear for a long time that he had a big problem with ukraine and
10:55 pm
that he had a big problem with the west. we have seen this behaviour since his speech at the munich security council. the westjust didn't take seriously. and security council. the west “ust didn't take seriously.�* security council. the west “ust didn't take seriously. and we are -a in: didn't take seriously. and we are paying the _ didn't take seriously. and we are paying the price _ didn't take seriously. and we are paying the price for _ didn't take seriously. and we are paying the price for that. - didn't take seriously. and we are l paying the price for that. melinda, natalie, short and sweet this hour, but we will be back with much longer to talk then and i will have an opportunity to talk a bit more about some of the things he and your colleagues at the atlantic council have been saying about ukraine and ukraine relations for some time, because i think that's quite interesting to provide the context and background that you have alluded to. we will talk more about some of the other front page as we are seeing, for example, the japan times, which is telling us that japan is seriously upping the ante in terms of sanctions against russia. they have their own disputes with china over islands that japan claims and china claims in the south china sea and has cause to worry about big countries bullying smaller countries so a remarkable consensus —— consensus emerging. up next is
10:56 pm
the weather and we willjoin our colleagues in singapore for newsday, and natalie, melinda and i will be back at half past the hour. goodbye for now. hello there. monday was a bit grey, wasn't it, for many of us, with outbreaks of rain at times. in fact, this is leek in staffordshire, and a fairly typical shot through monday afternoon. as the rain eased, it turned quite misty and murky. and the rain is sitting across the far south east as we speak, but it is allowing this area of high pressure to build in behind. so, quite a contrast with the feel of the weather first thing tuesday morning. perhaps lows down to —3 where we keep those clear skies, but where the cloud and the rain lingers, it will be a relatively mild start, 7—8, maybe even nine degrees. there will be some outbreaks of showery rain to begin with across the far south coast, but as we go through the afternoon, that rain may welljust nudge a little bit further north. so, if we draw a line from the bristol channel over
10:57 pm
to the wash, outbreaks of rain quite possible. further north, after that chilly start, that's where we'll keep the sunshine through scotland, northern ireland, northern england. highs generally between 8—10 celsius. now, that weather front actually drifts its way steadily north and east. a little ridge of high pressure builds in, though, across scotland, so it does look likely that first thing on wednesday morning, could be quite a chilly start here. again, —4, —5 degrees not out of the question. where we keep that cloud and rain, it will be relatively mild, but again a grey, drab start to wednesday. that cloud will continue to push its way steadily northwards throughout the day, perhaps brightening up a little in the south. but top temperatures through the afternoon between 7—11 degrees. there's more rain to come moving in from the west, as you can see. that weather front will gradually drift its way steadily eastwards, so it is going to bring some outbreaks of rain with it from the west on thursday and a freshening wind for a time once the rain moves through. so, it may well start off dry in sheltered eastern areas. not set to last.
10:58 pm
the cloud and the outbreaks of rain will start to move in from the west throughout the day. temperatures once again ranging from around 7—12 degrees. now, once we've got thursday out of the way, fingers crossed, it looks likely that the weather story will quieten down just a little with an area of high pressure building in. so, just in time for the start of the weekend. so, as we move through friday, potentially into saturday, it's drier, settled, with some springlike sunshine to look forward to. take care.

welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines — fighting intensifies in the country's second—largest city of kharkiv as ukraine accuses russia of bombarding residential districts. half a million people have left ukraine since the invasion began, with some cities witnessing a frantic scramble to escape. the police again are outnumbered, but they're doing their best. i've seen them go down there into the crowds and try and calm people, but it's very, very difficult given the volatility of the situation.
