good afternoon. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, the british—iranian mum detained in iran nearly six years ago, has been freed and is at the airport in tehran waiting to return home. her family says they won't relax until nazanin is here. the 43—year—old was arrested in 2016 and convicted of plotting to overthrow the iranian government — a charge she's always denied. another detained british—iranian, anousheh ashoori, has also been released and is travelling with her. mrs zaghari—ratcliffe had recently been under house arrest in iran, but was given back her uk
1:03 pm
passport this week. it's been reported that iranian state media said the uk government paid an outstanding debt to tehran ahead of the release. 0ur diplomatic correspondent caroline hawley has more. it is almost six years since they were last together as a family. now, barring any last—minute hitches, a reunion is at last imminent. this was the moment, in april 2016, when nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe was arrested at tehran airport where she was trying to leave the country trying to get back to visit her parents. now she is back at the airport with fellow british national anoosheh ashoori, who has also spent years injail. it is anoosheh ashoori, who has also spent ears in “ail. , anoosheh ashoori, who has also spent years in jail-— years in jail. it is quite an emotional— years in jail. it is quite an emotional day _ years in jail. it is quite an emotional day today, - years in jail. it is quite an - emotional day today, definitely feels like we are on the home run now, but until she leaves that airport, we can't quite believe it, but really positive developments. we found out about an hour ago that now
1:04 pm
and ian had been picked up and taken to the airport with her family —— nazanin. her parents weren't allowed to come into the room with her so she is still under iranian control in the airport, so she is still not free but it definitely feels like she is about to be.— she is about to be. since her arrest, nazanin _ she is about to be. since her arrest, nazanin has - she is about to be. since her arrest, nazanin has endured| she is about to be. since her - arrest, nazanin has endured solitary confinement, psychological torture and the agony of separation from her daughter. she served a five year sentence and was immediately given another. her husband richard has campaigned around the clock for her release, last october going on hunger strike in an act of desperation to pressure the uk government to do more to get her home. he has always said she was being held as a hostage for a debt of owes iran. in the 1970s, iran bought more than 1,500 chieftain tanks from the uk but, after the islamic revolution, the deal wasn't completed and iran has been demanding its money back for

1:08 pm
when the five year sentence ended but it does now look, and everyone is crossing fingers and toes, that this is at an end, the ordeal is over and they will be on their way home shortly. over and they will be on their way home shortly-— over and they will be on their way home shortly. let's hope so, thank ou ve home shortly. let's hope so, thank you very much. _ home shortly. let's hope so, thank you very much, caroline. _ nick eardley is our political correspondent at westminster. nick, we don't know the politics yet behind this, but what was said at prime minister's questions this lunchtime? not a great deal about the specifics of this, victoria. the government is very reluctant to talk about this until nazanin is in the air. i don't think it is going to change until the government is absolutely certain that this has happened and mrs zaghari—ratcliffe has been freed by iran. radio silence, really, from the government on the specifics of this, not confirming those reports that you heard caroline talk about coming out of iran about the historic data from the 1970s being settled. liz truss, the foreign
1:09 pm
secretary, was asked about bad debt this morning and said that the government was looking at ways to potentially pay it, so it seems like thatis potentially pay it, so it seems like that is something that has been discussed over the last few weeks. it is also worth pointing out that there has been a closer relationship between liz truss and her iranian counterparts over the last few months. the hope they have ones that could lead to the breakthrough that we may well be seeing today —— the hope there was. but this is an issue that has plagued governments for a number of years in the uk, it has plagued foreign secretaries who were trying to solve the issue and until it is completely certain that it has been resolved, the government isn't saying anything. been resolved, the government isn't saying anything-— saying anything. thank you very much. saying anything. thank you very much- and _ saying anything. thank you very much. and that _ saying anything. thank you very much. and that is _ saying anything. thank you very much. and that is it _ saying anything. thank you very much. and that is it from - saying anything. thank you very much. and that is it from me i saying anything. thank you very | much. and that is it from me for now. here's reeta for you live in ukraine. thank you. here in ukraine, the country has now endured
1:10 pm
three weeks of war. blasts have been heard in the capital, kyiv, with emergency services saying a block of flats in the city has been hit by russian shelling. people have been sheltering underground and in their homes, while a curfew remains in place. today, the uk's ministry of defence said ukraine is continuing to succeed in "stalling russia's advance", with russian forces "struggling to overcome the challenges posed "by ukraine's terrain". this morning, nato defence ministers met in brussels to discuss their response to the conflict. meanwhile, ukraine's president, volodymyr zelenskyy, has said peace talks are beginning to sound more realistic. russia's foreign minister has said there is "hope for compromise". our first report today on the continuing russian assault is from our kyiv correspondent, james waterhouse. three weeks into this war and russia
1:11 pm
keeps attacking. and, for the capital, the battle is getting closer and the defenders keep defending. translation: the? defending. translation: they sometimes _ defending. translation: they sometimes fire _ defending. translation: they sometimes fire artillery - defending. translation: tue: sometimes fire artillery every defending. translation: tte: sometimes fire artillery every ten to 20 minutes. we are holding on, everything will be all right, everything will be all right, everything will be ukraine. aha, everything will be all right, everything will be ukraine. a lull in fiaahtin everything will be ukraine. a lull in fighting allows _ everything will be ukraine. a lull in fighting allows for _ everything will be ukraine. a lull in fighting allows for a _ everything will be ukraine. a lull in fighting allows for a quick- everything will be ukraine. a lull in fighting allows for a quick rest. and this is what we see now. plumes of dark smoke on the outskirts of the city, as ukrainian forces try to keep out this russian advance. and, further inside kyiv, more residential blocks are randomly getting hit. for the third consecutive morning, residential blocks bear the brunt of the shelling, along with the people in them. here, two were injured, 35 evacuated. most of the city are underground, waiting for a day and a half curfew to end tomorrow. in the
1:12 pm
south—east, ukrainians who have been forced from their home arrived, but is it safer? authorities here claim russian missiles recently hit a train station and a public park. this is what they have finally been able to escape. more than 20,000 have made it out, say officials, from mariupol. the south—eastern city has been surrounded for two weeks. more than 300,000 are still trapped under heavy shelling with barely any food or water. 400 people are still reportedly being held hostage at the biggest hospital. it is the only russian advance that hasn't stalled, according to british defence officials. it is thought invading troops almost everywhere else are continuing to be held up by stiff resistance and low supplies. partly why there is optimism from president zelenskyy, is a fourth round of peace negotiations carries on today. translation: , ontoday. translation: , ., , translation: it is important. it is difficult, translation: it is important. it is difficult. but _ translation: it is important. it is difficult, but important, _ translation: it is important. it is difficult, but important, because. difficult, but important, because
1:13 pm
any war ends in an agreement. meetings continue. as i am told, the positions in the negotiation sound more realistic. however, time is still needed for the decisions to be in ukraine's interests. compromise could come — in ukraine's interests. compromise could come from _ in ukraine's interests. compromise could come from ukraine _ in ukraine's interests. compromise| could come from ukraine continuing to distance itself from everjoining nato, one of russia's original demands before they invaded. the question for many ukrainians will be what will they get in return? james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. let's join our chief international correspondent lyse doucet, who is in kyiv. lyse, the russian bombardment continues, but there is a very small note of optimism over the diplomacy? yes, the language is certainly shifting in the past 24 hours. it is difficult to get a real sense of it but when you have sergei lavrov, the usual tough talking veteran top diplomat of russia, talking about hopeful some kind of a compromise,
1:14 pm
talk about concrete solutions that could be agreed within days, and when that is matched by president zelenskyy also speaking of how the russians are becoming more realistic, you feel that they are hammering out the shape of a possible way forward. but russia has so many red lines in this crisis and when you get to issues like security guarantees, they mean very different things to the opposing sides and president putin earlier this week, in factjust yesterday, president putin earlier this week, in fact just yesterday, was still saying the ukrainians aren't being serious enough but i think in a war like this, now three weeks long, everyone is going to grasp at whatever sign that it could be coming to an end but i have to say, the sounds of war here are louder than the statements about ending the war. there has been sustained artillery fire almost since that 35 hour curfew kicked in last night at eight o'clock and, as you heard in
1:15 pm
james' piece, the plumes of dark smoke rising, suggesting that the ukrainians are fighting back. so the war goes on but a tiny bit of hope that it could end.— that it could end. lyse, many thanks, that it could end. lyse, many thanks. lisa _ that it could end. lyse, many thanks, lisa do _ that it could end. lyse, many thanks, lisa do say _ that it could end. lyse, many thanks, lisa do say reporting | that it could end. lyse, many - thanks, lisa do say reporting from kyiv. while we are on the air, president zelenskyy is addressing the us congress by video link. president biden is expected to announce details of more military aid to ukraine following his speech. our correspondent nomia iqbal is in washington. can you give us a flavour of what he is saying? can you give us a flavour of what he is sa in: ? , , , can you give us a flavour of what he issa in? , , ._ is saying? yes, this is a really historic moment, _ is saying? yes, this is a really historic moment, addressing l is saying? yes, this is a really| historic moment, addressing a is saying? yes, this is a really - historic moment, addressing a joint session of congress is generally seen as a rare thing. presidents do, prime ministers, popes and even a former ukrainian president has but to address congress as a foreign leader, a us ally, from inside a country as war rages around you is extraordinary and mr zelenskyy is hoping to use that extraordinary
1:16 pm
moment to change us foreign policy. he got a huge standing ovation, which lasted for some while and then he started talking about the importance of his values, his country's values and he said "my country's values and he said "my country has a dream like your country has a dream like your country does," and talked about the "i have a dream", invoking history, the same way when he addressed the uk parliament, talking about pearl harbor and a september the 11th and making that emotional appeal to america, talking about fighting for freedom, the language that usually matters in this country and that politicians usually admire. of course, he is coming with a big shopping list and has asked president biden to crosses red lines, he has asked for a no—fly zone and also for fighterjets, two things the us is not willing to concede on, although there is some support for the fighterjets. concede on, although there is some support for the fighter jets. we concede on, although there is some support for the fighterjets. we are expecting president biden to give a response to mr zelenskyy in a couple of hours' time.
1:17 pm
many thanks. nomia iqbal reporting. nato's defence ministers have met in brussels today for the first time since russia's invasion began to discuss what further support they can offer ukraine. nato's secretary general, jens stoltenberg, said members of the alliance were providing large quantities of critical military equipment to the country, and that support would continue. our defence correspondent jonathan beale is in brussels for us. what are they hoping to achieve? as you mentioned, the first goal is to ensure those weapon supplies into ukraine keep flowing. notjust western weapons such as anti—aircraft and anti—tank missiles, but also old kit from eastern europe which ukrainian forces will be familiar with using. there are of course limits to what nato is willing to do, and they are not seriously discussing that no—fly
1:18 pm
zone that president zelensky has requested repeatedly. the other thing they are talking about here is bolstering their own defences. they have already sent tens of thousands more troops to nato's eastern flank, more troops to nato's eastern flank, more ships on patrol, more aircraft on patrol too. we havejust had a briefing from senior military officials here at nato, who made clear that president putin's invasion is not going to plan. more than that, they predict he will not achieve his military goals in ukraine. but they add that he still has the capacity to cause enormous damage. has the capacity to cause enormous damaue. , ., . . has the capacity to cause enormous damae. �* ., ., ., �* ., has the capacity to cause enormous damaue.., ., ., �* ., as we've heard, peace talks are continuing. our correspondentjenny hill is in moscow —
1:19 pm
ukraine's president sounds a little more optimistic about the talks — what is the message from russia? there is hope of compromise, but the question is who is going to be doing the comprising. we know that vladimir putin doesn't want ukraine tojoin nato. he wants vladimir putin doesn't want ukraine to join nato. he wants to secure a promise that it never will. he sees it as a huge security risk for russia. there are hints that ukraine might be prepared to bend on that. is that going to be enough for mr putin? he has told russians that he has gone into ukraine to defend the interests of russian speakers living interests of russian speakers living in the east of the country. vladimir putin wants the world to recognise some of those regions as independent, or independent but under russian control. he also wants the world to acknowledge that crimea, which mr putin annexed in 2014, is russian. he wants the ukraine effect to hand over some of its territory. ukraine is not willing to do that at this stage. mr putin probably wants to be able to tell russians that his so—called special military operation in
1:20 pm
ukraine is going to come to an end, but he has to be able to tell them that he has won the war, which of course he doesn't call a war. so he has to have something to show for it, and that is what is going to make these negotiations tricky. and thatis make these negotiations tricky. and that is before you consider that we don't really know what his entire game plan here is. i suppose we should have the caveat that the fact that the two sides are continuing to hold talks and continuing negotiations is at least grounds for a faint glimmer of hope. jenny hill re ”ortin. so far, the west of ukraine has escaped relatively unscathed from the russian onslaught. there have been some air strikes — including a military base near the polish border — but the region is relatively calm. despite that, here in lviv, people are preparing for an attack they believe is coming. jonah fisher has this report. in western ukraine, the war is getting closer and people are getting ready.
1:21 pm
we've been invited to a school building in lviv to see volunteers being given a crash course in handling a gun. lessia, a grandmother, is here with her architect husband, yuri. we need to be prepared. translation: normally, iwouldn't even point a gun at an animal, - but this is now time to learn how to hold weapons and shoot them. as, one by one, the volunteers take their turn, we are interrupted by the awful soundtrack of this war. air raid siren. so you can just hear the air raid siren has gone off, some people are leaving, some people are carrying on. in the basement, those on the gun course mingle with the local children and mums that have decided not to flee ukraine.
1:22 pm
we find yarena, a doctor at lviv hospital. she's at the training. herjob is to save lives, but she says she is now ready to kill. i stay here and i defend under bombing and different military troops and i stay underfire. and you're ready to pull the trigger on that gun if it comes to that? if i have no choice, yes. when the all—clear sounds, we are invited by yuri and lesia back to their apartment to see their new guns. it's normally for hunting. bought after russian air raids on western ukraine this weekend. translation: it's sad, it's very sad. _ sometimes this seems like a bad dream. it's not right, this
1:23 pm
shouldn't be happening. but it is happening and the russians may move west. lviv�*s defenders are armed and waiting. jonah fisher, bbc news in western ukraine. borisjohnson has arrived in saudi arabia to discuss how the country might help the west reduce its reliance on russian oil and gas. the prime minister has insisted that forging closer ties with the saudi government does not mean "we can't stick to our principles" after he was accused by labour of going from "dictator to dictator" to find new fuel sources. our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart, has this report. a prime minister on a mission. he wants countries in the gulf to increase the flow of oil as part of a strategy to end any reliance on russia. when we look at the dependency that the west in particular has
1:24 pm
built up on putin's hydrocarbons, on putin's oil and gas, we can see what a mistake that was because he's been able to blackmail the west. but this trip raises uncomfortable questions about human rights. the prime minister will visit saudi arabia. a few days ago, they executed 81 men. borisjohnson says he will continue to raise these issues. so the residents have to move out or do they live around it? but in huddersfield this morning, on a visit to council homes getting energy improvements, labour leader sir keir starmer was scathing of the government's approach. going cap in hand from dictator to dictator is not an energy strategy. the prime minister's saying we can't rely on russia, so now he goes to saudi arabia. we need to make sure that we've got security for our energy. the prime minister plans to outline a new energy strategy next week, focusing on domestic renewables, nuclear, and oil and gas. but many mps at westminster remain concerned about the impact rising energy costs could have on their constituents.
1:25 pm
angela rayner. that came up at pmqs today. with deputies standing in, labour outlined their plan for bills. they could accept labour's plan to save working families hundreds of pounds on bills, funded with a one—off levy on the soaring profits of big energy companies. so i ask the deputy prime minister, is their only plan to keep on begging? dominic raab, on a change of topic, pointed to previous support forjeremy corbyn as labour leader. when she was campaigning, as the rest of— when she was campaigning, as the rest of them were, to make the honourable member for islington north_ honourable member for islington north prime minister, this prime minister— north prime minister, this prime minister was foreign secretary, leading — minister was foreign secretary, leading the response to the nerve agent— leading the response to the nerve agent attack. leading the response to the nerve agent attack-— leading the response to the nerve aaent attack. ., , , ., agent attack. that response leading to unknown usual _ agent attack. that response leading to unknown usual intervention - agent attack. that response leading to unknown usual intervention from| to unknown usual intervention from the speaker. please, if we could try. and stick to the agenda. i have a lot of people ahead of me
1:26 pm
who are desperate to get - in without talking about history! a focus here on the future, and that includes the outcome of the prime minister's trip. david wallace lockhart, bbc news. the world health organisation says it is working day and night to keep medical supply chains open and ukraine's health system running. both the un agency and the uk government have already delivered hundreds of tonnes of supplies to hospitals in kyiv and other cities. ukrainian doctors and nurses working in the uk have also been raising money and shipping equipment here. our health correspondentjim reed joined a convoy organised by the ukrainian medical association — transporting medical supplies. at a car park in kent, the race to get medical aid to the front line 1,000 miles away. every inch of space is being used from first—aid kits, to high—tech ultrasound equipment. roman cregg is an nhs doctor in london. he's originally from western ukraine.
1:27 pm
so what we have here is an antibacterial burn dressing pack. this is absolutely amazing. this is going to be basically fast—tracked to the front line. ahead, 48 hours on the road across five countries to the ukrainian border. two weeks ago, the life of every ukrainian changed for ever. i woke up at five o'clock, i checked bbc, and... it was war. we drive late into the night, crossing the borderfrom france into germany, stopping just outside dusseldorf. the next morning, after a much—needed black coffee, the team make an early start. in his dayjob, dennis ougrin, another ukrainian, also works for the nhs, in london. i'm doing something that i shouldn't be doing. i'm a child psychiatrist. i'm not very good with the military stuff, i'm not good with guns or rifles
1:28 pm
or kalashnikovs, or whatever. but one has to prioritise the need. so, at the moment, the key need is that people are dying every day of bleeding. 400 miles down and 600 to go. that night, we make it to poland. after a few hours' sleep, the final part of ourjourney to the ukrainian border. this is the polish side of the crossing. buses arrive here every few minutes, dropping off people at a frightening rate from all across ukraine. we're from the place where we are sending the first aid kits to. we meet sophia and anastasia. her father is on the front line, fighting. they feel amazing. they finally can walk on the street without sirens on and they feel safe that nobody will shoot them. it's a mixture of tragedy and
1:29 pm
generosity which is overwhelming. i'm sorry. a few hours later, roman and his team meet nhs colleagues who've driven all the way from newcastle. these ambulances will be left here, along with all with all the medical supplies, to be taken on by the ukrainian authorities. we havejust signed off the transfer papers. jim reed, bbc news, on the polish—ukrainian border. that's all from me. now it's back to victoria in the studio in london. thank you, reeta. let's bring you our main news this lunchtime. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, the british—iranian mum detained in iran for almost six years, has been released by iran and will return to the uk today, caroline, you've been following this story closely over the years. what has the prime minister been
