many have been wanting to stay and fight and be brave and do what they think is the right thing for the country, but an awful people want to go and these images are incredibly moving and incredibly distressing initially interesting, pulling a particular the most popular destination and a people facing long delays getting across the border, but there is some emerging infrastructure and some basic ability for people to be looked after but we have got a huge long—term problem. the history of conflict is literal refugees who leave in the first week and never return again, so the rest of the big problem to solve here what to do with these folks who need help and support. with these folks who need help and su ort. . . with these folks who need help and su ort. , . , ., with these folks who need help and sun-oft. , ., , ., ., support. listen a bit more about the international— support. listen a bit more about the international condemnation - support. listen a bit more about the international condemnation and - support. listen a bit more about the international condemnation and we | international condemnation and we have already touched on the issue of war crimes and prosecutions but this is the un voting for resolution deploring the invasion. and the only

ones who voted against that, the only countries who voted against work belarus, russia's long—standing ally, north korea, eritrea, syria. and then quite a few actually, well, a few abstaining as well, but that was a huge vote by the un, mi member nations voting to deplore that invasion. i member nations voting to deplore that invasion.— that invasion. i mean that's been one of the _ that invasion. i mean that's been one of the striking _ that invasion. i mean that's been one of the striking things - that invasion. i mean that's been one of the striking things i - that invasion. i mean that's been one of the striking things i thinkl one of the striking things i think of the _ one of the striking things i think of the conflict so far is how united the rest of— of the conflict so far is how united the rest of the world really has been against russia. its will on the way to— been against russia. its will on the way to becoming a pariah state and what was _ way to becoming a pariah state and what was also interesting, you mehtioh— what was also interesting, you mention the abstentions, is the countries — mention the abstentions, is the countries that abstained include china, _ countries that abstained include china, cuba, venezuela, countries which— china, cuba, venezuela, countries which before hand russia probably thought— which before hand russia probably thought they could rely on for support _ thought they could rely on for support. these countries were never

over a longer period of time and sure disappointed that perhaps ukraine did not publicly and perhaps has multiple medic support from countries like china, but let's see where we are in two or three weeks' time. of course the fear is that we could be witnessing just the early stages of a bloodied urban warfare in kyiv that suggest for me and people which is frightening, but also to be the case that russian troops truthfully marching in the centre of kyiv and zelensky will beat their asset that are defeated. so let's just see where this ends up before passing anyjudgment and labourfood may before passing anyjudgment and labour food may well be not happy with how things have gone. let’s with how things have gone. let's focus on the _ with how things have gone. let's focus on the russian _ with how things have gone. let's focus on the russian oligarchs and one particular, urban abramovich, who was putting chelsea football club up for sale after 19 years of ownership, the financial times saying the russian billionaire says he plans to donate the proceeds to a

there are many more. there are perhaps 35 or over 100 or lots of different waste accounting but many more in russia and i think the uk has lagged behind both the eu and the us on this. and really could do a lot better in terms of sort of heating putin where it really hurts which is in his wallet and the wallet of his close friends and those who have complained to him they cannot travel and they cannot send their kids to private schools in britain and they cannot enjoy their box in barcelona or whatever it might be said that is the message it might be said that is the message it really matters and i think london has just it really matters and i think london hasjust got to it really matters and i think london has just got to show that for germany and for britain about germany and for britain about germany have to stop its dependence on gas and so on and britain has got to win itself off russian money effectively. to win itself off russian money effectively-— to win itself off russian money effectivel. ., . ,, ., ., effectively. good to talk to both of ou and effectively. good to talk to both of you and get _ effectively. good to talk to both of you and get your _ effectively. good to talk to both of you and get your views _ effectively. good to talk to both of you and get your views on - effectively. good to talk to both of you and get your views on the - you and get your views on the papers. that is kevin schofield at the huff post uk and dan at the

guardian. many thanks to both of you for being with us and that is it for us for an apples would back in about half an hour's time and for another look at the papers but goodbye for now. hello again. it's been a pretty grey, cloudy and soggy day for many of us, with weather fronts slowly pushing across the country bringing outbreaks of rain and, for some of us, rather misty conditions. but it wasn't like that everywhere. across north scotland, weather watcher ziggy stardust would've probably thought the weather was hunky—dory with clear, blue, sunny skies like these after a cold and frosty start. now, on the satellite picture, there's the front that's been bringing the damp weather today, but we've got another front just to the west out in the atlantic. and this is very gradually over the next couple of days going to drag its heels and push across the country. kind of grinds to a halt, really, across central areas as it runs into this area of high pressure

that's across in scandinavia. so, the next few days, we'll see a lot of cloud and some rain, and certainly overnight tonight, we'll see that damp weather extending across northern ireland, reaching west scotland, wales, parts of western england by the end of the night. a lot of mist and fog, i think, for eastern areas of scotland and also over the high ground in england and wales, so it will be quite a murky night for some of you. now, tomorrow morning, it's a grey start one way or another. this area of rain will take pretty much all day to reach across into north west england, moving across wales into the midlands and reaching onto central, southern england through the afternoon. to the east of this, might see some brighter spells across east anglia and south east england, and it should brighten up pretty late in the day for northern ireland, wales and parts of south west england, where you also see some broken cloud and some sunny spells. by friday, we pick up on our weatherfront across eastern areas of england. the rain turning heavierfor a time across the north east of england, where it's going to be quite a chilly day. temperatures just around six degrees across into newcastle and little better than that for eastern

scotland. the western side of the country, well, that's where the driest and brightest weather will be, highs between 8—11 degrees here. now, the weekend, that weather front finally get squished by this building area of high pressure. it's building right over the top of the country, so there's still going to be a lot of cloud around on saturday across england, maybe east wales, still thick enough to bring some patches of rain, but the weather will improve as the weekend goes by. and for most of us, sunday will be a dry day with bright or sunny spells. temperatures about 9—10 degrees celsius. into next week, it stays mostly dry with some sunshine, but we're going to start to develop some cold east or south—easterly winds. that's your weather.
