now let's don't get excited. get your scummy hands off of me. i have done more in my 705 than i did through most of the years of my life, and i still feel like i'm just getting started. # jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping...#. and that includes plans for anotherfilm role, this time in a movie of the novel she's just written. rebecca jones, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's sarah keith lucas. a lot of dry weather out there this afternoon, but it is mixed fortunes in terms of sunshine amount too. beautiful blue skies, this is peterborough at the moment. many eastern areas have the blue sky and sunshine, not everywhere though. the satellite image shows this line of cloud draped through parts of scotland, northern england, down towards wales and the south—west. either side of that, we have sunshine for parts of northern

ireland and the south—east in particular. in east ayrshire it is cloudy with drizzly rain coming out of that cloud as well. the weather front is weakening as we head through the rest of the afternoon but still the odd splash of rain through parts of central southern england, up towards the highlands as well. some sunshine coming through, and in the sunshine in the east it is feeling pretty warm out there, in fact 16 degrees. cooler further west, just 10 degrees in belfast. heading into the evening hours, many will see cloud, the odd spot of rain drifting northwards as we go through tonight, particularly for northern england and scotland as well. the breeze will be picking up overnight so it won't be as cold as recent nights, between seven and 10 degrees. the frost—free start to your friday morning, but tomorrow will be more breezy rain, initially for parts of scotland, and then this next extend moving on from the west which brings

showery rain across much of the uk, and it will be followed by pretty heavy showers, thunderstorms with hail mixed in. it won't be as warm as today, only around seven to 12 degrees tomorrow, feeling cold where you have the showers and blustery winds. that area of low pressure slowly pushes off towards the east as we move through towards the weekend. we have the next area of low pressure approaching from the south—west. during the day on saturday, initially we have the showery rain in northern ireland and scotland, but england and wales should see some sunshine developing before the wet and windy weather arrives in the south—west later on. ties between seven and 12 degrees so feeling cooler than the last couple of days. heading into sunday, and a day of sunshine and showers. as the low pressure drift eastwards, we could see gusts up to a0 mph in places, and cooler as well in the breeze with temperatures eight to 12 degrees on sunday. if you are holding out for spring sunshine, you mightjust see it next

holding out for spring sunshine, you might just see it next week holding out for spring sunshine, you mightjust see it next week because we will see temperatures on the rise with highs up to 16 degrees on tuesday. sarah, thank you. a reminder of our top story... attacks continue on mario poll in ukraine, as the president calls the attack on a maternity hospital a war crime. it is goodbye from me, and on bbc one now we join the bbc news teams where you are. good afternoon. it's 1:30pm and here's your latest sports news. roman abramovich�*s attempt to sell chelsea has been halted. the oligarch has been sanctioned by the uk government as part of its response to russia's invasion of ukraine. abramovich put the club up for sale after the threat of sanctions was raised in parliament, but the freezing of his assets now

means the club cannot sell further match tickets. the move is intended to stop the russian making money from the club. the government has issued a special licence that will allow fixtures to be fulfilled, staff to be paid and existing ticket—holders to attend matches. chelsea will also be unable to buy or sell players while the sanctions are imposed. the club's merchandise shop will also be shut. around about 28 million pounds a month. now, abramovich has been injecting money into chelsea on a regular basis. in recent years, presumably that would be able to continue. so the concern might be what happens if chelsea's reserves are insufficient to pay wages. presumably people working on this in the government will be looking into this, and we will continue working with the premier league to try to minimise disruption on a club level.

so a huge change for chelsea, not least for the fans. we've ben getting their reaction this morning, including those outside the club's shop, as it closed for business. after our shirts were bought, they said, _ after our shirts were bought, they said. sorry, — after our shirts were bought, they said, sorry, the shop is closed. they— said, sorry, the shop is closed. they put— said, sorry, the shop is closed. they put up— said, sorry, the shop is closed. they put up signs on the glass doors — they put up signs on the glass doors we _ they put up signs on the glass doors. we were the last to get these shirts _ doors. we were the last to get these shirts it3— doors. we were the last to get these shirts. �* . . doors. we were the last to get these shirts. v . . . doors. we were the last to get these shirts. �* , ., , ., ., doors. we were the last to get these shirts. . , shirts. it's a shame to supporters and fans alike, _ shirts. it's a shame to supporters and fans alike, it _ shirts. it's a shame to supporters and fans alike, it is _ shirts. it's a shame to supporters and fans alike, it is not _ shirts. it's a shame to supporters and fans alike, it is not really - shirts. it's a shame to supporters and fans alike, it is not really ourj and fans alike, it is not really our fault as little people. i think it is a bit unfair. if fault as little people. i think it is a bit unfair.— fault as little people. i think it is a bit unfair. if you get through to the european _ is a bit unfair. if you get through to the european cup. _ is a bit unfair. if you get through to the european cup. my - is a bit unfair. if you get through to the european cup. my season| to the european cup. my season ticket — to the european cup. my season ticket only— to the european cup. my season ticket only covers _ to the european cup. my season ticket only covers league - to the european cup. my season| ticket only covers league games. the british boxing board of control have announced it will not permit boxers registered or licensed by the russian boxing federation or belarusian federation to compete in the united kingdom meanwhile, world rugby have confirmed that — due to its suspension — russia can no longer qualify

for the rugby world cup next year and that georgia has secured its place instead. the tournament is due to take place in france next september and october. eddiejones has named his england side for their six nations match against ireland on saturday. courtney lawes will continue to captain the side, with sam simmonds at number eight and alex dombrandt back after a positive covid test. joe launchbury is in line to make his first international appearance since england's win over france in the autumn nations cup final in december 2020. johnny sexton is back in ireland's starting line—up. he's one of six changes made my head coach andy farrell and will start for the first time since the opening match against wales. the 36—year—old said he will retire from the game at the end of the word cup in france next year. scotland have handed a first six nations start to winger kyle steyn for the game against italy in rome. steyn replaces the banned duhan van der merwe. they've also recalled centre sam johnson who comes in for glasgow teammate sione tuipulotu.

the first test between the west indies and england is evenly balanced heading into day three in antigua. play resumes in just under half an hour with the hosts on 202 for a in reply to england's 311. yesterday, the windies began well before slipping from 83 without loss to 127 for a. but england's bolwers were frustrated again as jason holder led a fightback. he's on a3 not out. the pitch hasn't offered a huge help to the bowlers, but england's mark wood belives they have to find a way. on any wickets that you play on, you've got to try to find a way of getting wickets. it's no good saying, you know, "oh, it's too flat." 0rcomplaining. you've got to try to find a way. we're trying our best to find little holes or an opening. the reverse swing was obviously a big part in it at one point. and if we could have capitalised on that then we could have the west indies six, seven, eight down. i think that would be key in the morning. if we can keep the ball moving,

although it's not happening fast off the wicket. .. if we can keep it moving in the air, it gives us a chance to try and get those wickets. and you can follow all the latest from antigua on the bbc sport website — live text commentary there. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. that's all for me for now, though. just a statement from chelsea on that abramovich sanction that we have heard about. chelsea are saying that by virtue of his hundred percent ownership of chelsea, the club would normally be subject to the same sanctions, but the uk government has permitted a general licence to allow chelsea to continue certain activities. and intent to engage with discussions with the government regarding the scope of the license, including seeking permission for the lessons to be amended in order to allow the club to operate as normal, as normally as possible. that is the statementjust in from chelsea.

as we've been hearing, the chelsea fc owner roman abramovich has been sanctioned by the uk government as part of its response to russia's invasion of ukraine. he's one of seven oligarchs to be hit with fresh sanctions. tom, thanks for being with us. how significant is the sanctioning of abramovich in particular? of those seven, he is the best known internationally.— seven, he is the best known internationally. seven, he is the best known internationall . , .~ , . ., ., internationally. this makes a lot of noise but let's _ internationally. this makes a lot of noise but let's step _ internationally. this makes a lot of noise but let's step back _ internationally. this makes a lot of noise but let's step back from - internationally. this makes a lot of noise but let's step back from it. noise but let's step back from it for a second. vladimir putin is a kleptocratic, he rose through corruption. and he uses that loot as do members of his regime to fortify that power. we still allow financial secrecy in our economy. we allow anyone to come to the uk, buy assets in disguise without declaring the

ownership of a company that acts on our economy. what we are doing today is day we are signalling a few individuals and making life difficult. and we are hoping that thatis difficult. and we are hoping that that is going to shorten the suffering of the ukrainian people, somehow by translating into influence over putin personally. as you can see, i think that is a bit of a stretch.— you can see, i think that is a bit of a stretch. you don't think putin is frankly going — of a stretch. you don't think putin is frankly going to _ of a stretch. you don't think putin is frankly going to care _ of a stretch. you don't think putin is frankly going to care about - of a stretch. you don't think putin is frankly going to care about the | is frankly going to care about the sanctioning of abramovich or anybody else? �* , ., ., . sanctioning of abramovich or anybody else? abramovich is in the 1990s oli . archs, else? abramovich is in the 1990s oligarchs. the — else? abramovich is in the 1990s oligarchs, the ones _ else? abramovich is in the 1990s oligarchs, the ones that - else? abramovich is in the 1990s oligarchs, the ones that got - else? abramovich is in the 1990s oligarchs, the ones that got rich | else? abramovich is in the 1990s. oligarchs, the ones that got rich in the free for all capitalism at the end of the cold war, when they were privatisations of riches of the soviet empire. when putin came to power, he was a much more hardline figure. he said to the oligarchs, you stay out of politics. you can keep your money if you stay out of politics. 0nce keep your money if you stay out of politics. once you broke those

rules, they were taken out. he brought those 90s oligarchs like abramovich into a different settlement, and also created new oligarchs. these are all kgb allies, some of whom are also under sanctions. they must calculate that if he goes down, they go down. 0ut if he goes down, they go down. out of those two categories, it is hard to see how this translates into making putin change course or pushing the russian elite into pushing the russian elite into pushing a new leader. d0 pushing the russian elite into pushing a new leader.- pushing the russian elite into pushing a new leader. do you think there are going _ pushing a new leader. do you think there are going to _ pushing a new leader. do you think there are going to be _ pushing a new leader. do you think there are going to be more - there are going to be more individuals to follow on this list? there has been pressure for the government to take tougher action against oligarchs. i government to take tougher action against oligarchs.— against oligarchs. i think so. you think there _ against oligarchs. i think so. you think there should _ against oligarchs. i think so. you think there should be. _ against oligarchs. i think so. you think there should be. there - against oligarchs. i think so. you think there should be. there is i against oligarchs. i think so. you | think there should be. there is an obvious question about why we have allowed this wealth being generated in corrupt regimes like russian, but also in similar regimes around the world, into our economy so freely for so long. a lot of these names on these lists we have known about, we know the information the government

has published about that today for many years. we knew about it when putin crimea. but in that case we thought we would rather have the money. thought we would rather have the mone . ~ . . thought we would rather have the mone . . . , ., ., thought we would rather have the mone. . , ., ., ., money. what is going to happen to all of that russian _ money. what is going to happen to all of that russian money - money. what is going to happen to all of that russian money that - money. what is going to happen to all of that russian money that is i all of that russian money that is still in london, in the uk? there is a lot of money- — still in london, in the uk? there is a lot of money. but _ still in london, in the uk? there is a lot of money. but the _ still in london, in the uk? there is a lot of money. but the uk - a lot of money. but the uk government is not doing is calling time on london's role as the global hub for dirty money. what it is doing is trying to targetjust one kleptocratic while leaving the door open to all the rest. tam kleptocratic while leaving the door open to all the rest. tom burgess, thank ou open to all the rest. tom burgess, thank you very _ open to all the rest. tom burgess, thank you very much _ open to all the rest. tom burgess, thank you very much indeed. - open to all the rest. tom burgess, - thank you very much indeed. speaking a little earlier today, the prime minister said the government had considered very carefully he would be covered by the sanctions. irate considered very carefully he would be covered by the sanctions. we have not to be be covered by the sanctions. we have got to be very — be covered by the sanctions. we have got to be very careful— be covered by the sanctions. we have got to be very careful in _ be covered by the sanctions. we have got to be very careful in the _ be covered by the sanctions. we have got to be very careful in the way - be covered by the sanctions. we have got to be very careful in the way we i got to be very careful in the way we approach these things. rights of property are something that in english law takes very seriously. and you have got to go through due

process. from tuesday, as you will remember, we are speeding it up under the new economic crime bill, so we will be going even faster. but you have got to have clear evidence that people are connected to the putin regime. that has been established. that is why we are going ahead with the sanctions that we are. is going ahead with the sanctions that we are. . .,, going ahead with the sanctions that we are. , .,, . going ahead with the sanctions that we are. . . . . we are. is putin losing that circle of oligarchs... _ we are. is putin losing that circle of oligarchs... ? _ we are. is putin losing that circle of oligarchs... ? i— we are. is putin losing that circle of oligarchs... ? i can't - we are. is putin losing that circle j of oligarchs... ? i can't comment we are. is putin losing that circle i of oligarchs... ? i can't comment on what individuals _ of oligarchs... ? i can't comment on what individuals are _ of oligarchs... ? i can't comment on what individuals are doing. - of oligarchs... ? i can't comment on what individuals are doing. what - of oligarchs... ? i can't comment on what individuals are doing. what we i what individuals are doing. what we have concluded is that there is enough connection, enough of a link between the putin regime and the individuals in question, tojustify the action. i think when you look at what is happening in ukraine and you look at the casual rejection of every norm of civilised behaviour, in bombing a maternity hospital, i think people in this country can see that people connected to the putin regime needs to be sanctioned, and thatis regime needs to be sanctioned, and that is what we are doing. what we have said is that we will continue

to ratchet up our sanctions as this goes forward, as vladimir putin intensifies his aggression against the ukrainian people. we have taken the ukrainian people. we have taken the powers to do that and that is what we are going to do. are there more sanctions _ what we are going to do. are there more sanctions to _ what we are going to do. are there more sanctions to come? - what we are going to do. are there more sanctions to come? we - what we are going to do. are there more sanctions to come? we have | more sanctions to come? we have taken the powers _ more sanctions to come? we have taken the powers to _ more sanctions to come? we have taken the powers to do _ more sanctions to come? we have taken the powers to do that, - more sanctions to come? we have taken the powers to do that, and l taken the powers to do that, and certainly you can expect to see that. you can also expect to see the uk again leading in conversations with ourfriends and uk again leading in conversations with our friends and partners around the world to make sure that, as putin doubles down in violence against the ukrainian people, we in the rest of the world, we who condemn his behaviour must work together to tighten the economic vice around the putin regime, and thatis vice around the putin regime, and that is what we are going to do. the home secretary has today announced the way the visa scheme. is this a sign that the government has been shamed into changes? you've had so much criticism.— much criticism. what you are seeing is a catastrophic— much criticism. what you are seeing is a catastrophic situation _ much criticism. what you are seeing

— on the 7th or the 6th, i don't recall exactly now — at the security council of the un, facts were proffered by our delegation, saying that that maternity hospital was taken over by the azov battalion and other radicals, and all the mothers about to give birth and nurses were chased out of there and that was the base for ultra—radical azov battalion — and that data was proffered three days ago. you could draw your own conclusions as to how the public opinion is manipulated worldwide. today, i saw the reports of your channel and other western media. very emotional, but, unfortunately, the other side of any situation, the side that gives us a chance to draw an objective conclusion,

is not looked at, is not considered. well, that was the russian foreign minister, surrogate lover of. —— surrogate lover of. —— sergei lavrov. ukraine's foreign minister described the talks with his russian counterpart as "difficult". after the meeting, dmytro kuleba said there'd been no progress with russia on a fresh ceasefire. this conversation was both easy and difficult. easy because minister lavrov basically followed his traditional narratives about ukraine. difficult because i did my best to at least find a diplomatic solution to the humanitarian tragedy unfolding on the battleground, in the besieged cities.

the most tragic situation is currently now in the city of mariupol, on the sea of azov. the city is being bombarded from the air, it's being hit by artillery fire and i came here with a humanitarian purpose, to walk out from the meeting with the decision to arrange a humanitarian corridor in and from mariupol. from mariupol, for civilians who want to flee this area of fear and struggle and humanitarian corridor to bring in mariupol humanitarian aid. unfortunately, minister lavrov

was not in a position to commit himself to it, but he will correspond with respective authorities on this issue. we also raised the issue of a ceasefire, a 2a—hour ceasefire, to resolve the most pressing humanitarian issues. we did not make progress on this, since it seems that there are other decision—makers for this matter in russia. we agreed to continue efforts to seek a solution for the humanitarian issues on the ground. i will be ready to meet again in this format

if there are prospects for a substantial discussion and for seeking solutions. i believe that when two foreign ministers meet, they have, by definition, a mandate to negotiate issues of peace, security, the mandate entrusted to them by their leaders, by the parliaments. and i'm ready to continue this engagement with the purpose of ending the war in ukraine, stopping the suffering of ukrainian civilians and liberating our territories from the russian occupying force. well, that was the ukraine foreign minister after his talks with the

russian foreign minister. the first set of toxins the russian invasion began. we are going to take a brief look at some of the day's other news now. a new kind of covid vaccine developed by scientists in cambridge, has been used on patients in a trial for the first time today. it doesn't use a needle — instead it uses a "jet" which passes through the skin. it can also protect against different covid variants. the cambridge university researchers are working with doctors at souhampton hospital to see how effective it is. sarah farmer has sent this report from southampton. a significant day here at university hospital southampton, the first group of participants to take part in a trial of a needless vaccination against coronavirus are receiving vaccines today. this is one of those people taking part in the trial, and she received her dose this morning.

there was no sort of sensation, really. it was just a flick and it was done, and i literally didn't feel anything. there was no cold sensation, like as when you have the jab done. there was no feeling with it at all. dr alasdair munro is one of the lead doctors on this trial, and this is the really early stages, but a promising start? that's right. so, this study is the first time that this vaccine has been given to humans, and we're hoping to show that it's safe and gives a good immune response. the first participants are starting at the lowest dose, and within the next few weeks, if that's been shown to be safe, we'll increase the dose slightly, trying to find the dose that gives the best immune response. and great prospects for the future, too? that's right. so, we're hoping that as well as providing broader immune coverage against further variants of the virus that causes covid—19, it will also provide protection against future coronaviruses that could cause pandemics in the future. dr munro, thank you very much forjoining us. now, you may remember, right at the beginning of the pandemic, the early vaccinations needed to be stored at very, very cold temperatures, roughly —80

celsius in some cases. this new vaccine can actually be stored as a powder, so there is a hope that this will soon become a worldwide vaccination. there are a farmer reporting from southampton. the tiktok star sam ryder will represent the uk at this year's eurovision song contest in may. he said it was a "privilege" and that he couldn't wait to perform his track "space man" at the competition's grand final in turin in may. he's one of the uk's most followed singers on tiktok, with 12 million fans. almost as many as me. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. hello. well, for some of us out there this afternoon, we've got blue sky and sunshine.

not everywhere — there is a bit more cloud draped through the central slice of the uk, with a weak weather front around, but certainly towards parts of eastern england, scenes like this one in lowestoft in suffolk. as we head through the rest of today and in fact for much of the week ahead, it is going to be a bit of a mixed picture. things are reasonably mild, fairly breezy, and there'll be a bit of rain at times. that's going to be the story over the next few days. back to this afternoon, then, we have that sunshine lasting through until the evening hours across parts of east anglia and the south—east, and also for western scotland and northern ireland. a bit more sunshine developing later today. temperatures at 6 o'clock this evening, around about 8 or 9 towards the north—west. some areas in the east and south—east holding on to 12 or 13 celsius into the evening. 0vernight tonight, then, this weak weather front that continues its way northwards, a band of cloud producing some outbreaks of rain, particularly for parts of northern england and scotland. so it won't be as cold as recent nights with that blanket of cloud and a bit of a breeze. most of us around 7—9 degrees to start off friday morning. a frost—free morning.

we've got initially the showers across parts of scotland that drift off northwards, and then the next weather front moves in from the west. followed by some really heavy and potentially thundery showers, hail mixed in for the south—west of england and wales. elsewhere, some of that patchy rain just working its way gradually northwards and eastwards through the day. so, that's on this first weather front that pushes gradually away towards the north and the east as we head on into the weekend. the next weather system lining up there out towards the south—west. heading through into saturday, a day of sunshine and showers. most of the showers will be in the north during the morning. they clear away. some sunnier, brighter weather developing across many southern and eastern parts before the next weather system brings wet and windy weather into the south—west later on. temperatures a little bit cooler than recent days, around about 7—12 degrees on saturday. into sunday, that area of low pressure moves across much of the uk. so, a windy day wherever you are on sunday, with some heavy showers moving through. a bit of sunshine in between, particularly across parts of england and wales later on. temperatures at this stage around 9—12 degrees on sunday.

quick look ahead into next week, because after a fairly unsettled and cooler weekend it does look like things are turning a little bit brighter and warmer into next week. we could see highs of around 16 degrees by tuesday. bye— bye.

this is bbc news — welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. our top stories. three people including a child are confirmed dead in ukraine — after a russian air strike on the maternity and children's hospital in mariupol. translation: we have not done or would not do anything like this war crime, because we are people. attacks continue on the city today as ukraine's president condemns the bombing in the strongest terms.
