death squads searching for the president of ukraine and his family. those harrowing pictures were seeing of old ladies hobbling across on planks to escape, women with babies, the disabled, people sheltering in underground sellers and derelict towers without any power or water, medical supplies running out and hospitals. it is a dire situation, the worst situation we've had in the world since the second world war. we thought we would consign these images to the history book, but here they are. i almost felt guilty to be on holiday, i almost feel guilty seeing these pictures of these poor people suffering in this way, it's unbelievable. l people suffering in this way, it's unbelievable.— unbelievable. i think a lot of --eole unbelievable. i think a lot of people will— unbelievable. i think a lot of people will feel _ unbelievable. i think a lot of people will feel the - unbelievable. i think a lot of people will feel the same i unbelievable. i think a lot of i people will feel the same way. unbelievable. i think a lot of - people will feel the same way. the next hour we'll talk about a little girl who's captured the hearts of

fora number of i think this 3 a great opportunity for a number of guys to step up, take on some different roles and really develop — take on some different roles am really develop themselves as players, and become more leaders within this group. we've seen that in small snippets so far, the real test will be to see if they can do that in the tests. a really great opportunity to see those guys grab that chance, and really relish that opportunity is exactly what we are looking for. fans around the world are still reeling from the death of shane warne at the age of 52. police in thailand have said the autopsy report on the australian cricketer concluded that he died of natural causes. warne's family have requested that his body be returned to australia quickly. thai authorities say they're preparing paperwork and formalities to accommodate this. the leg spinner is considered to be the greatest bowler in cricket history, helping australia win the world cup in 1999. he was also part of five ashes—winning teams during his career. to formula one — and red bull team

principal christian horner says it's unfair that race director michael masi has lost his job. the sport's governing body, the fia, removed masi from his post after the controversial end to the season—ending abu dhabi grand prix. masi failed to correctly apply the rules, which gave the advantage to red bull's max verstappen as he went on to win his first world title. i thought it was tough. i mean, look, we had some issues with michael earlier in that race, but race directing is and clearly hard position, and when you look at the amount of support he has compared to the teams, it's quite limited. and i think it's great that they brought an experienced campaigner home, he flashed back into the stewards room or into the race control for the season. i did feel it was harsh on michael, and, yeah, ofa of season. i did feel it was harsh on michael, and, yeah, of a of pressure put on him and the fia for that to happen. and good news for emily scarratt — she will return to the england squad

for the women's six nations later this month after suffering a broken leg back in september. head coach simon middleton has recalled scarratt for their title defence, which begins on march the 26th against scotland. if everything else, you can head to the bbc sport website. but that's all the sport for now. good evening. high pressure at this time of year can quiet the weather story down, but clear skies by day lead to cold and frosty nights. yes, it was —7 celsius first thing this morning in glasgow with some sunshine, but there was also a hard frost. a little bit further south, we had early morning cloud in southeast england and that drifted its way steadily northwards across the midlands into northern england and it will continue to push its way north over the next few hours. this was the story over the course of the day it in actual fact, that cloud along with the freshening breeze across the southwest up to the irish sea and west facing coast will prevent those

temperatures from falling too far through the night tonight. but we have the clearest of the skies perhaps through central and eastern areas north of the lowest temperatures are likely to be with the touch of frost here first thing in the morning. but at least there will be some sunshine around, as well. as we go through the day, the winds will continue to strengthen and cloud will thicken because as we go to the morning and into the afternoon every summer and pushing into northern ireland and gradually into western fringes of scotland and parts of wales. the winds strengthening to gusts in excess of 45—50 miles an hour. so, the best of the sunshine further east, we may well see temperatures peaking at 11 degrees, but underneath the cloud, the wind and the rain feeling cool and disappointing. seven or eight celsius at the very best. that weather front will ease away as we close out tuesday and wednesday. but it is going to allow more fronts to push in off the atlantic. a spell of wet and windy weather set to continue through the middle parts of the week. so, the good news is a south—westerly flow will bring some milder air with it as those fronts start to push through.

i suspect as we go through wednesday, yes, there's a spell of wetter and increasingly windy weather with gale force gusts of winds at times. the best of the brighter weather perhaps on wednesday will be to the east of the penines. here, we could see some sunshine clouding over across the midlands with that rain out in the northwest with highs of 13 celsius. once we leave wednesday and we go into thursday, that front will bump into the high pressure over into the near continent and weaken off a touch. so, a little bit of light patchy rain before a ridge of high pressure builds and behind. so, overall on thursday, not a bad day. dry, settled, and sunny before wet and windy weather returns by friday.
