competitors on sky, stuart ramsey has taken a bullet in the back today and his cameraman has taken two to his body armour while coming under attack from russian death squads who are picking on cars, thinking they may have refugees fleeing cities, so intentionally firing on civilians and according to the sky footage, even when the journalist is shouting that they are journalists and to leave them be, because shooting journalists as a war crime, they continued to fire. so what he's done here and what all those journalists out there doing is putting themselves in further harms way by leaving the safety and security of being where everybody else is and trying to get out to get the story, to find out what's really going on on the ground and it does expose them to greater risk. this on the ground and it does expose them to greater risk.— on the ground and it does expose them to greater risk. this sit rep, as we collect. _ them to greater risk. this sit rep, as we collect, reporting _ them to greater risk. this sit rep, as we collect, reporting from - them to greater risk. this sit rep, as we collect, reporting from a i as we collect, reporting from a situation, and a time like this, and some of the most powerful journalism, because for all of the analysis he could have come at the end from the thing that will connect to most of us is to read stories

been somewhere else. now it's finally come home.— finally come home. that's an astonishing _ finally come home. that's an astonishing statistics. - finally come home. that's an astonishing statistics. i - finally come home. that's an astonishing statistics. i was i finally come home. that's an i astonishing statistics. i was told b curator astonishing statistics. i was told by curator from _ astonishing statistics. i was told by curator from a _ astonishing statistics. i was told by curator from a war— astonishing statistics. i was told by curator from a war museum. | astonishing statistics. i was told | by curator from a war museum. i wasn't doubting it, i'm reallyjust stupefied. wasn't doubting it, i'm really “ust stuefied. ., �* , wasn't doubting it, i'm really “ust stuefied. . �* , , ., wasn't doubting it, i'm really “ust stuefied. . �*, , ., . stupefied. that's true. it is not an awful lot of _ stupefied. that's true. it is not an awful lot of deaths _ stupefied. that's true. it is not an awful lot of deaths in _ stupefied. that's true. it is not an awful lot of deaths in normal -- l awful lot of deaths in normal —— northern hemisphere compared to what's happening in the rest of the world. war has arrived at our doorstep, to some extent, and we have also got lots of facilities like the nuclear power plants, which, for the first time are going to be in the region of war and can be casualties. we need to be really clear that this has not been a nuclear attack, this has not been a nuclear attack, this has not been a nuclear explosion of any sort. those things are very, very different to what happened yesterday at ukraine's power plant. what happened there is that some russians firing artillery shells either intentionally or by accident caused a fire at the power plant. if that created a meltdown,

as your channel has told people today, if i caused a problem with the cooling system are caused a meltdown in the reactor, there would be some kind of radioactive leak potentially an explosion, but that is not the same as a nuclear weapon going on. a nuclear weapon going off vaporises everything in a fairly large area and then further spreads out and radiates and damages the dna and genetics of everything nearby. i nuclear leaks, a nuclear leak of a cheerio from a nuclear power plant, it slightly less radioactive than stuff you would get in a bomb, which is super enriched. the stuff you have here, if leaked out, would likely be alpha radiation fallout, there wouldn't be a big explosion, but there would be toxic effects wherever it went, basically. so as not to worry about, but it's not as of yet nuclear explosions. absolutely. i was interested in exactly that point, because we got to the front of the ft, which has a photograph much clearer than it is on the front of the british telegraph, they have been photograph blown up showing the fire. the

article makes a lot of points about that. what has changed, because of what is happened last weekend when put in put his forces on high alert and reduced the stages at which a tactical nuclear device could be used, as john tactical nuclear device could be used, asjohn simpson was telling and date earlier, it's not beyond the possibility that it could be used as a tactic in a standing situation, which is a really frightening prospect on the basis that the confidence of the west wouldn't use when in return. certainly not because it's a worry in ukraine and ukraine is not a member of nato. i in ukraine and ukraine is not a member of nato._ in ukraine and ukraine is not a member of nato. i think part of the roblem is member of nato. i think part of the problem is that _ member of nato. i think part of the problem is that the _ member of nato. i think part of the problem is that the artillery - member of nato. i think part of the problem is that the artillery attackl problem is that the artillery attack last night, the russian forces, ten days into this war, it's really not going very well for mr putin, the tires are quite literally falling off his trucks. he can get field to the front line. the long convoy of

vehicles that he has approaching kyiv has not moved in four days. calvary is literally on foot now. there are some soldiers surrendering, others are going house to house and committing rape, we are told, and what happened last night but this attack on the atomic plant is that an artillery shell created this fire and artillery shells are not precision weapons, they are not things that you do to target anything anywhere, they are just a bit of ordinance that you fling in the general direction of something you want to destroy. now, if anyone was doing that anywhere near a nuclear reactor, they are either an idiot or you are trying to cause problems. and that is the issue that the whole west has to deal with now is to what is vladimir putin thinking? what is he capable of doing with his troops? they are young, conscripts, they are corrupt, underfed, underpaid, and half of them don't want to be there and don't know why they are supposed to be there. can he control them? is he

able to supply them? and what is his eventual end here? because it's looking like what he wants to do is utterly destroy ukraine and then roll into a few other countries afterwards. that'sjust roll into a few other countries afterwards. that's just not going to be possible. that is the dream of a madman who has left reason behind. and if he has left reason behind, then you cannot hope to get him to de—escalate or get him to the table or to see a way to negotiate, you just have biological weapons and a huge mess when you have to force them to back down. mi. huge mess when you have to force them to back down.— huge mess when you have to force them to back down. ali, very quick, 20 seconds — them to back down. ali, very quick, 20 seconds or— them to back down. ali, very quick, 20 seconds or so _ them to back down. ali, very quick, 20 seconds or so and _ them to back down. ali, very quick, 20 seconds or so and we _ them to back down. ali, very quick, 20 seconds or so and we will- them to back down. ali, very quick, 20 seconds or so and we will come | 20 seconds or so and we will come back to this and a lot more detail againjust after an hour's back to this and a lot more detail again just after an hour's time when we will have a whole half—hour —— half—hour. i we will have a whole half-hour -- half-houn— we will have a whole half-hour -- half-hour. ~ ,, , ., ,, , ., ., half-hour. i think susie makes a lot of treat half-hour. i think susie makes a lot of great points- _ half-hour. i think susie makes a lot of great points. we _ half-hour. i think susie makes a lot of great points. we don't _ half-hour. i think susie makes a lot of great points. we don't know- of great points. we don't know what's — of great points. we don't know what's going to happen, but i also think— what's going to happen, but i also think there — what's going to happen, but i also think there are massive economic issues _ think there are massive economic issues to— think there are massive economic issues to deal with here as well on the back— issues to deal with here as well on the back of— issues to deal with here as well on the back of not only sanctions on russia, trut— the back of not only sanctions on russia, but some of those sanctions coutd _ russia, but some of those sanctions could boomerang and hit us back in the face _ could boomerang and hit us back in the face in — could boomerang and hit us back in the face. in the west, rising commodity prices, inflation already rising _ commodity prices, inflation already rising before us, it is now going over 6% — rising before us, it is now going over 6% according to the economist intelligence unit. serious issues,

is going to do a u—turn and start pushing back westwards as we go through the weekend, bringing cloud and some patchy rain back across areas of england. so not quite done with the front just yet. now, over the next few hours, the majority of the rain is going to be following across east anglia and southeast england, an odd patch elsewhere. across scotland, northern ireland and parts of northwest england, quite a widespread frost. the lowest temperatures down to —1i or —5 in the highlands of scotland, and although there will be quite a bit of cloud at times in england, i think for the most part, as i go to the weekend, we should see the weather tending to brighten up with a bit of sunshine around. cold and frosty start, then, to the day across the northwest of the country, but across eastern areas underneath this area of cloud, 5—6 degrees with drizzle on and off for much of the day. eventually, the front starts to push a little bit further westwards, so we will probably see some cloud thickening across the midlands and central southern england, perhaps with an odd patch of rain here. sunshine across the north and west of the uk with temperatures around

8—10 degrees in the warmest spots. now, for sunday, bit of patchy rain across the southwest initially. this cloud flowing in from the north sea could continue to be thick enough for an occasional patch of light rain or drizzle. the north and west, again, largely dry with sunshine, highs of 8—9 celsius, but feeling colder than that as we start to get a chillier wind. and sunday night is going to be a cold one. there will be, again, quite a widespread frost developing, temperatures at their lowest in some of the deeper valleys in scotland. now, beyond that, as we look at the forecast into next week, our area of high pressurejust drifts to west russia, and we get these very chilly east—south easterly winds blowing their way in. there will be a lot of dry weather with sunshine, gusty winds, and it's the winds and the dryness of the air that will make it feel, i think, quite chilly.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. in ukraine's second biggest city, residential buildings have been reduced to rubble and families are hiding underground. we have a special report from inside kharkiv. this is so far from normal, it's kind of hard to even describe. and these people have no idea what they're going to do next. europe's largest nuclear plant is shelled by russian forces overnight, but the fires are now under control. ukraine says moscow is resorting to "nuclear terror". ukraine's president criticises the west for ruling out a no—fly zone over his country while russian attacks continue. translation: they are destroying eve hinu translation: they are destroying everything that _ translation: they are destroying
