and could not remain in power. russia had responded that its people — not america — should choose its leaders. ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky has urged western governments to supply planes, tanks and missile defence systems to his country. in a speech criticising nato's lack of action, he said heavy weapons which could defend freedom in europe were instead gathering dust in stockpiles.mark lobel reports. with more civilian houses hit, an urgent appeal to arm ukraine from the president complaining russian aircraft cannot be shut down with machine guns. translation: ., , , . ., translation: what is the price of this security? _ translation: what is the price of this security? this _ translation: what is the price of this security? this is _ translation: what is the price of this security? this is very - this security? this is very specific _ this security? this is very specific. it is planes for ukraine, tanks _ specific. it is planes for ukraine, tanks for— specific. it is planes for ukraine, tanks for our state, missile defence. _ tanks for our state, missile defence, anti—ship weapons. that is what _ defence, anti—ship weapons. that is what our— defence, anti—ship weapons. that is what our partners have gathering dust _ what our partners have gathering dust. after all, this is all not only— dust. after all, this is all not only for— dust. after all, this is all not only for the freedom of ukraine but for the _

hurt when a military target was struck on saturday. in russia, the defence minister resurfaced after a room at heart attack. he popped up briefly on tv after a two—week absence and sustained intrigue over president putin's in a circle. as russian fire power continues to batter ukraine, a month into this conflict it is seemingly shifting intentions remain mysterious. mark lobel intentions remain mysterious. mark lobel, bbc news. our correspondentjonah fisher is in lviv in western ukraine. jonah, big explosions yesterday, what is the situation where you are this morning? it is what is the situation where you are this morning?— this morning? it is calm this morning. — this morning? it is calm this morning. we _ this morning? it is calm this morning, we didn't - this morning? it is calm this morning, we didn't have - this morning? it is calm this morning, we didn't have air| this morning? it is calm this - morning, we didn't have air raid sirens overnight, but yesterday late afternoon and into the evening, people were down in bunkers and bomb

shelters as air raid sirens blared, and there were several explosions. at one of them, not far from the city centre, a fuel depot that burned for quite a long period of time. the other targeted by what appeared to be cruise missiles were some sort of military facility or factory, not entirely clear at this point what was hit, but two things were hit, and the lviv, a moment of reflection really. this is a city that really is in the far west of ukraine, it has been largely out of the intense fighting that we have seenin the intense fighting that we have seen in central, southern and eastern parts of the country. it has been a safe haven for people to come here away from all that fighting, and yesterday, it really felt like the war had come to lviv. jonah, we must leave — the war had come to lviv. jonah, we must leave it _ the war had come to lviv. jonah, we must leave it there _ the war had come to lviv. jonah, we must leave it there for _ the war had come to lviv. jonah, we must leave it there for now, - the war had come to lviv. jonah, we must leave it there for now, but - must leave it there for now, but good to hear that update, many thanks. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky has urged western governments to supply planes,

tanks, and missile defence systems to ukraine to help them fight russian forces. in an impassioned, late—night video address, he said heavy weapons which could defend freedom in europe were instead gathering dust in stockpiles. i'm joined now by former nato commander rearadmiral dr chris parry. good to have you with us. i wonder first what is your response to president zelensky�*s call to supply defence systems, and should we be approaching those three things in different ways? i approaching those three things in different ways?— different ways? i think that is a aood different ways? i think that is a good point- _ different ways? i think that is a good point. there _ different ways? i think that is a good point. there is _ different ways? i think that is a good point. there is a - different ways? i think that is a l good point. there is a difference between what are offensive and defensive weapons, and in terms of combat aircraft and tanks, i think thatis combat aircraft and tanks, i think that is a delicate issue, and honestly nato countries have different views about supplying those. i think in terms of supplying anti—armour and anti—aircraft and anti—missile systems, that is completely different, and as your correspondentjust

completely different, and as your correspondent just said, completely different, and as your correspondentjust said, there have been attacks on lviv. the russian say they are concentrating on the donbas region... say they are concentrating on the donbas region. . ._ say they are concentrating on the donbas region... doctor parry, i'm sor to donbas region... doctor parry, i'm sorry to interrupt _ donbas region... doctor parry, i'm sorry to interrupt you, _ donbas region... doctor parry, i'm sorry to interrupt you, but - donbas region... doctor parry, i'm sorry to interrupt you, but i - donbas region... doctor parry, i'm sorry to interrupt you, but i want l sorry to interrupt you, but i want to cross us secretary of state, antony blinken, is making a speech. in warsaw, secretary of defence austin and i had the opportunity to meet face—to—face with our ukrainian counterparts, colleagues that we talk to almost every day. it was good to see them face—to—face, to give them a readout of the meetings that we have had in europe and to pledge our ongoing support to meet ukraine's security, humanitarian needs. i alsojoined ukraine's security, humanitarian needs. i also joined the ukraine's security, humanitarian needs. i alsojoined the president in what was an incredibly moving our meeting with refugees from ukraine in warsaw. i had the opportunity to do that on my own a few weeks ago border between ukraine and poland. one of the most striking things and

meeting with his refugees isjust how many of them are children. newborns. toddlers. according to the united nations, more than half of all ukrainian children have been displaced by this war, which is one of the most powerful reminders of why our efforts to stop the war is so important. the visit was also a reminder of a trailblazing diplomat, friend, mentorto reminder of a trailblazing diplomat, friend, mentor to me that we lost earlier this week it was forced from her home in czechoslovakia twice as a child, first by the nazis a year later by the communist, whose family eventually found refuge in the united states. madeleine albright never forgot why it was important to open our arms to the displaced and stand up to tyrants who drive those

from their homes. it is an experience i know left an indelible impression on your father, my stepfather, something ourfamilies stepfather, something our families feel strongly. stepfather, something ourfamilies feel strongly. ending russia's war of choice was something we discussed a short while ago. we very much appreciate the foreign minister's unequivocal condemnation, and earlier this week israel was one of 140 countries at the un voted to demand protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure and humanitarian access while again condemning russian aggression and its responsibility for creating the dire situation. prime minister bennett has dedicated substantial energy to trying to find a way out of the conflict, something we report, and i have had a chance to see the field hospital, we videoed

in to colleagues who were there, providing remarkable support through this field hospital, named after the doctors and nurses are mostly ukrainian or russian speakers, so the people of israel are standing with ukraine in so many ways and not just this field hospital. thousands came out to the square in tel aviv to protest, and when volunteers were sought to go to moldova to aid the refugees, more than a thousand volunteers raised their hands to do just that. and it is notjust the people of ukraine and russia who are feeling these actions. food prices are rising, especially wheat, just

as economies are recovering from covid—19. this is acutely felt in this region where most countries import at least half of their wheat, a significant proportion of which comes from ukraine. the cost of basic staples like bread is rising, hitting the most vulnerable people the hardest. over the course of this trip we will be discussing measures that we can take to alleviate some of the burdens that this is placing on people including throughout the middle east. i made the trip here during which i will visit israel, the west bank, morocco, algeria, because this is a part of the world where the united states has vital interests and some of our closest friends. the united states will continue to invest in the region, strengthening the relationships that are central to stability in the middle east and north africa, making progress on enduring challenges, broadening opportunities for people and at the same time staying focused on ending the kremlin's war of aggression. injerusalem i will also

have the chance to meet with prime minister bennett and others, and across these meetings i will affirm as i always do, as president biden always does, and there are ironclad commitment to israel's security. we discussed this short while ago. and just a few days ago, president biden signed the omnibus funding bill that includes $1 million for the system that has saved countless lives, including during last year's conflict with hamas. we condemn the attacks in bathsheba, and when it comes to the most important element, we see item why. we are both committed that iran will never acquire a nuclear weapon. russia's aggression against ukraine is

another reminder of why this is so important, it ran with a nuclear weapon or the capacity to produce one on short notice would become even more aggressive and would believe it could act with a false sense of impunity. the united states believes that if we return to full implementation of the comprehensive plan of action is the best way to put iran's nuclear programme back in the box that it was in but has escaped from since the united states withdrew from that agreement. but whether there is a joint agreement or not, our commitment to the joint principal of iran never acquiring a nuclear weapon is unwavering, and one way or another we will continue to coordinate closely with our israeli partners on the way forward. this cooperation is essential because beyond its nuclear efforts, iran continues to engage in a whole series of destabilising activities across the region and beyond, indeed those activities have multiplied since our withdrawal from thejcpoa,

including mounting attacks on the huthis, attacks enabled by iran, and of course its ongoing support for hamas. the united states will continue to stand up to iran when it threatens us or it when it threatens our allies and partners, and we will continue to work with israel to counter its aggressive behaviour throughout the region. a more stable, integrated region gives us a stronger foundation for addressing shared threats like these. and for shared threats like these. and for shared opportunities. that is why we are fully committed to expanding cooperation for the abraham accords and building on the remarkable progress that israel, bahrain, the united arab emirates and morocco have made it such a short period of time. studio: we leave the us secretary of state antony blinken addressing the media and the world. he is in israel for historic summit with four arab

countries, and our correspondent yolande knelljoins us now from jerusalem. two separate strands in what he was talking about first of all. let's deal with them in turn. first of all his comments about ukraine, what you make of those? we were ukraine, what you make of those? - were told by the state department ahead of time that really antony blinken's visit to this region was very much putting ukraine as a top priority. he is looking for greater support from us allies in this region for the american position, which is really very much to isolate russia and to condemn its aggression in ukraine. there have been powers in ukraine. there have been powers in this region that have held off from doing that. he mentioned as we know that the israeli foreign minister has condemned russia's actions in ukraine, but we know there has been this position of official ambivalence when it comes to the israelis, and the prime

minister has said he doesn't want to jeopardise his role as a mediator by renouncing russia's actions. he has talked instead about support for the ukrainian people. this will be a chance for the secretary of state to catch up on israel's mediation efforts and to try to get greater unity between america possum allies when there is this summer later —— summit later between these four arab countries. on iran, we know very much that israel firmly opposed the revival of talks to try to revive the iran nuclear deal. there is a lot of anxiety about that across this region, and so actually what is quite interesting about the fact that washington was coming here hoping to push for greater normalisation in the region between israel and arab partners, actually you are getting israel and some of those arab partners now lining up. they have got a common interest when

it comes to iran, when it comes to their concerns, and they will be putting those to the americans. what we saw there was some consolation we talk where we saw antony blinken saying, look, we are on the same page here, and our ultimate goal is to stop iran from having nuclear weapons. wejust to stop iran from having nuclear weapons. we just have different modes of going about it, where world powers are pushing for a diplomatic solution, they think that the nuclear deal is the right compromise, but there are a lot of concerns about concessions to iran from israel and from arab gulf countries. from israel and from arab gulf countries-— countries. yolande knell, our correspondent _ countries. yolande knell, our correspondent in _ countries. yolande knell, our correspondent in jerusalem, | countries. yolande knell, our- correspondent in jerusalem, thank you. let's return to that news is that in a late—night video address president zelensky urged western countries to supply more planes, tanks and missile defence systems. we rejoin the former nato commander rear admiral dr chris parr, and thank you very much for your patience while we

just tuned in there to see what antony blinken had to say in israel. we were discussing, though, the difference in your view between the west supplying offensive and defensive weapons, if you are able to pick up on that, i would be grateful. to pick up on that, i would be crateful. , ~ , ., , ., grateful. yes, i think people have been very shy _ grateful. yes, i think people have been very shy of _ grateful. yes, i think people have been very shy of providing - grateful. yes, i think people have l been very shy of providing offensive weapons like fighter jets been very shy of providing offensive weapons like fighterjets and tanks and things like that, but in terms of defensive weapons, i think it is entirely reasonable. i think the fact that russia has continued to target cities and other targets in the west and other infrastructure targets means that it is perfectly legitimate to supply them with anti—aircraft and anti—missile systems. the russians themselves have actually accepted that they will restrict their activities on the ground to the donbas region. they have got no excuse whatsoever now for attacking other targets in the rest of ukraine. i think ukraine deserves to be supported fully in defending the rest of their country.

is president zelensky right when he says that heavy weapons in the west are gathering dust? ida. says that heavy weapons in the west are gathering dust?— are gathering dust? no, they are not. the are gathering dust? no, they are not- they are _ are gathering dust? no, they are not. they are part _ are gathering dust? no, they are not. they are part of _ are gathering dust? no, they are not. they are part of nato's - are gathering dust? no, they are | not. they are part of nato's ability to defend itself and to deter aggression from its sovereign territories. the fact of life is ukraine doesn't have a right to call on the resources of nato, it is not a member of nato, it is up to sovereign nations to decide whether they want to supply from their own stocks the weapons that he says and i'm sure he is sincere that he says he needs. but we have got to be very careful now. we are in a very delicate stage in the war. i think the russians have accepted they can't defeat ukraine on the ground. we have got to ensure ukrainians don't make a mistake themselves by going on a counteroffensive, and making a considerable mistake. nonetheless, can you understand president zelensky�*s frustration with the west? president zelensky's frustration with the west?— president zelensky's frustration with the west? yes, i can, but i think president _ with the west? yes, i can, but i think president zelensky - with the west? yes, i can, but i - think president zelensky understands

fully the relationship of ukraine to the west and also towards russia. the fact of life is that strategically, ukraine is more important to president putin than it is to the west, and that is a simple fact of life. in the wake of the war, i think politically, perceptually and in terms of sentiment ukraine has gained increased status in the eyes of the west and i think its relationship with the west in future will be different, but right now it is a relationship that is based on strategic utility, and let's face it, countries' interests are paramount here, not on sentiment. you say that, but people see the slaughter of civilians, they see the bombing of hospitals, and perhaps they think there is a moral imperative to act, and nato is in the best position to do so. what you say to that? i the best position to do so. what you say to that?— say to that? i think if we talk about moral _ say to that? i think if we talk about moral imperative, - say to that? i think if we talk about moral imperative, we | say to that? i think if we talk- about moral imperative, we need to talk to united nations. nato is a political and military alliance that

is dedicated to the defence of its members, and to deterring aggression against the sovereign territory of those members. nato is not a sort of rented army to go and do the sorts of things. the united nations should step up to the plate here, that is what it was formed for, and it has been utterly useless in regard to ukraine. we need to energise that and make sure it can get in there to provide both peacekeeping and humanitarian support. just finally, what is your— humanitarian support. just finally, what is your analysis _ humanitarian support. just finally, what is your analysis of _ humanitarian support. just finally, what is your analysis of how - humanitarian support. just finally, what is your analysis of how this i what is your analysis of how this might possibly end? i what is your analysis of how this might possibly end?— what is your analysis of how this might possibly end? i think we're headin: might possibly end? i think we're heading for _ might possibly end? i think we're heading for the _ might possibly end? i think we're heading for the endgame - might possibly end? i think we're heading for the endgame now, i might possibly end? i think we're heading for the endgame now, to might possibly end? i think we're - heading for the endgame now, to tell you the truth. i think the russians have realised they can't overcome the ukrainians. they have got inadequate forces in the country, and i think those forces are being very poorly supported and coordinated. i think the acceptance two days ago that the russians are now concentrating on the donbas is an acceptance of widespread defeat in the rest of the country. they are basically firing missiles and conducting strikes on other targets

in ukraine, it isjust a petulant response of a rogue superpower that frankly has failed.— frankly has failed. former nato commander — frankly has failed. former nato commander rear _ frankly has failed. former nato commander rear admiral- frankly has failed. former nato commander rear admiral dr i frankly has failed. former nato i commander rear admiral dr chris frankly has failed. former nato - commander rear admiral dr chris parr we must leave it there, thank you very much for your patience and for joining us on bbc news. 2.3 million people have fled ukraine to poland since russia invaded ukraine, the polish border guard said on sunday. the vast majority are women and children, as ukrainian men aged 18 to 60 have been banned from leaving the country and urged to join the army. international organisations warn that women fleeing the war are more vulnerable to the risk of trafficking, exploitation and abuse. taahra ghazi is from the charity action aid, which specifically supports women and girls during humanitarian emergencies. she's in poland working with organisations that are supporting ukrainian refugees. welcome to bbc news, it is good to have you with us. i wonder if you can give us a sense of what you are

what in your view they need most. absolutely, so management in this period of this crisis, what people coming across the border need is safety. they need safety, they need protection, and women and children need safe spaces to be, because as we know, people are at risk of trafficking and expectation, and at the moment, there is no central database here of every person in poland, because people are moving on quite quickly. so we are working with organisations that are setting up with organisations that are setting up safe spaces for women, we are working with the organisation that has set up a helpline, they have had about 12,000 calls started just by volunteers in the last week alone, we are supporting people to get legal assistance, women to get legal

assistance. and also, you know, the sad fact is that there are a lot of women fleeing who themselves are survivors of domestic violence in ukraine, so we are looking to support them in every way that we can, and in addition, the other big need i am seeing, and i have to say i have seen this with my own eyes, is non—ukrainian refugees, so those people who are people of colour, they may have been fleeing this war zone having spent time there from another country, so for example i worked in a place where you get sometimes 30,000 people crossing, i watched a huge line of people get on a bus, there was one couple who were black, young couple, and they were the only couple that were refused entry onto that bus, because they had a cuban passport, and the actual really sad fact is that this young

woman was probably one of the most in need because she had miscarried on the journey, so you know, in need because she had miscarried on thejourney, so you know, the stories are heartbreaking, and what the organisations we work with, they work with people... the organisations we work with, they work with people. . ._ work with people... taahra ghazi, i'm so work with people... taahra ghazi, l'm so sorry _ work with people... taahra ghazi, l'm so sorry to — work with people... taahra ghazi, i'm so sorry to interrupt, - work with people... taahra ghazi, i'm so sorry to interrupt, i'm - i'm so sorry to interrupt, i'm pleased you are able to tell us that story. we are just coming to the end of the programme is running out of time, but thank you so much. that was taahra ghazi from actionaid, and you are watching bbc news. hello. in recent days we have become acclimatised to temperatures in the mid to high teens and afternoon sunshine, but looking into the weekend, you can say goodbye to those, particularly by wednesday, we are going to be struggling to get temperatures in the higher end of single figures. cooler, though, certainly for central and eastern england a sunday afternoon thanks to

a bank of low cloud that has pulled in from the north sea during the night. it will tend to perhaps burn off a little across parts of east anglia and the south—east through the afternoon, but looks set to stay quite solid, obscuring the sun near the north sea, and so temperatures no higher than nine or ten. elsewhere people still aim for highs in the mid to high teens in the best of the sunshine. overnight, the sky is clearfrom the of the sunshine. overnight, the sky is clear from the south—east of england and i think we will see some from developing in time for the morning rush hour, particularly on the m25 area. further north we will see some patchy cloud pushing across the north—east of england, low cloud, misty ed markey, and clear spells and pockets of frost developing for first thing monday. monday should bring a lot of sunshine to the uk once again, certainly bright across central and eastern england, and consequently warmer. some showers developing across northern eglin through the afternoon, some cloud pushing into southern coastal counties later in the day, but up to 70 degrees again

across the south—east of finland. here comes that transition into the cold air, tuesday into wednesday, arctic air slides all the way south across the uk, and the feeling will be very noticeable. through tuesday, the colder air pushing into scotland and northern england, a few showers here turning increasingly went across the hills, further south we're kind of in a transition losing that while the air through the course of the day. by the afternoon, temperatures 12, 13 degrees, certainly much cooler than we would have seen through the weekend with a chance of some showers across england and wales. wednesday, the colder and enter all parts, just about scraping ten or 11 for cardiff and london, and here is the area of low pressure that i alluded to at the start, running into the colder air, perhaps slightly overly dramatic on our model at the moment, but you can see the theme, certainly looking like they could be something wintry to end this week.

this is bbc news ? welcome if you re watching here in the uk or around the globe. i m rebecca jones. our top stories: the white house says president biden is not calling for regime change in russia, despite saying in a speech in poland that vladimir putin should not be allowed to stay in power. president zelensky has again urged western countries to supply more planes, tanks, and missile defence systems. we meet the former british soldiers who have travelled to ukraine as they prepare to make the journey to the front line. i'll do anything, i'm a trained infantry soldier, i'll help out wherever i can in the field, anywhere from back to front.

the us secretary of state, antony blinken, is in israel for an historic summit with four arab countries. sport, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's gavin. lewis hamilton's finding the going tough at the start of the formula one season — he'll be back in 16th for the saudi arabian grand prix later, with sergio perez in pole. it's after his worst performance in more than ten years — qualifying not going to plan for him and his team injeddah. there was a delay to proceedings following a spectacular crash involving mick schumacher, who'll miss the race this evening. he was airlifted to hospital, but is doing ok. what a turnaround it's been for england at the women's cricket world cup. the defending champions are through to the semifinals,

easing past bangladesh this morning. batter sophia dunkley made 67 as england set an imposing total of 234—6 — their opponents never in contention, really, england winning by 100 runs in the end. they're into the final four, and will face south africa in the semifinal on tuesday. another woeful batting display means england's men are on the verge of defeat in the third and deciding test against west indies. england started poorly in the field, and windies' joshua da silva scored an unbeaten century as his side built up a lead of 93. england's batting then fell apart, with captainjoe root one of six players dismissed for single figures alex lees battled to 31 but his dismissal, and another late wicket, means england lead byjust ten runs with only two wickets remaining heading into day four. it all gets going again at two this afternoon. disappointing stop we have had a tough day, we didn't get it right and a few aspects of the day. it's

something that we really need to improve upon so the guys are pretty despondent at the moment as expected, but i think we will look upon it and try and learn from mistakes that we've made and try and be better in our next opportunity when they come around during the summertime. it was a night of redemption for boxerjosh warrington, who won back the ibf featherweight title last night by knockout, against kiko martinez. warrington was explosive from the outset in front of a buzzing hometown crowd in leeds, a familiar venue for him. he put his opponent down in the first, and sensed an early finish, but it went to the seventh, when the ref stopped the fight. glory for warrington, after defeat and a draw in his last two fights. england continued their world cup preparations with a 2—1 friendly win over switzerland at wembley. there was a moment for captain harry kane to celebrate too. england struggled to assert themselves against the swiss. who went ahead through

bree embolo after 20 minutes. luke shaw made it 1—1, before harry kane equalled sir bobby charlton's total of 49 goals for england. wayne rooney holds the record with 53. i thought it was a really good test, we had to go behind, we had tactical problems to solve, we had to defend properly. and of course towards the end of the game we were able to get more experience and some top players onto the pitch which made us finish strongly as well, and that was important for the team and also for the crowd. the republic of ireland drew 2—2 with the world's number—one ranked side belgium in dublin. the irish twice came from behind and alan browne made it 2—2 with five minutes to go. christian eriksen has made a remarkable return to international football, scoring with his first touch of the ball in denmark's 4—2 friendly defeat to the netherlands. the 30—year—old midfielder, who suffered a cardiac arrest during euro 2020, came on as a substitute to score denmark's second goal. injanuary eriksen signed a contract to play for brentford until the end of the season.

of the shelling that has come to be a part of daily life in other parts of ukraine. it has also become a hub for hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing other parts of the country. our correspondent anna foster is in lviv, in western ukraine. this is a place people have come for refuge and for sanctuary and yesterday afternoon for a large part of yesterday, people were spending their time downstairs in the shelter. when you think of the conditions many of these people have fled from the expected when they got to lviv to have a moment of safety and to consider whether we go next but the media was very different yesterday. this is a place which is a football stadium, built ten years ago for the big euro tournament held in poland and ukraine in 2012 and is

no place people come to as a stop on the way, a stop on the route where they decide where they will go to next. forsome they decide where they will go to next. for some people it will be elsewhere in ukraine and for some people might be crossing the border into poland. this is the place where they can take a moment and get what they can take a moment and get what they need. some people left their homes very quickly and had very long journeys to get here. when they arrive in this hub here they can get medical care, medical attention if they need it. i was talking to victoria who left from a tome north of kyiv because she couldn't get medical treatment for her children. there are also hundreds of donated clothes. you will have seen those vans under nation points the world where people have been giving things they thought were needed here in ukraine and this is where they end up. you have these boxes and boxes

of clothes, everything from close to the tiniest babies and you might see on the windowsill piles of thick and warm courts because the climate you are still very cold and we haven't quite got into spring and summer here. people can gather what they need and then have a rest. for many people these journeys have been long, they have been perilous, they have been in their own cars and maybe got left i travelled however the code, in some cases on food, so they take some time here to have a rest and get some food. and the council over there all sorts of donated jars of baby food. there is always something to eat on this counter here. this it is a traditional ukrainian meat pie with cherryjam on top which is always waiting to be eaten. if people spend more than 24 hours here they sleep and this is all set up for people to spend the night and have a rest. it is actually a great place for the kids to play hide and seek which is what they have been doing here this morning. and it isjust a moment of

normality. they have a little then set up in the corner with the coloured blocks donated. and from here they move on. they are often located in a place that might suit them. i said to victoria, will you leave ukraine? she said death can find you anywhere so i will stay in ukraine. there was a group of miners from the donbas and they were moved to a mining community north of lviv where they can continue to use their skills. here is the moment with the take a breath to see what will happen to them next.

hundreds of britons are among the intenational foreign legion who have traveled to ukraine to fight aganst the russian invaders. our correspondentjonah fisher has followed three brits as they arrive and prepare to travel to the front line. cj is a dog handlerfrom norwich. elliot works on building sites in colchester. kieran is a brighton plumber. i can't say home and watch what's going on and just carry on as usual. the men have 19 years of experience with the british army and have all served in afghanistan. we catch up with them just after they cross the border from poland into ukraine. we met in the airport and it's all been like we've known each other for a lot longer than 24 hours. having taken a £20 flight to poland, they'd slept overnight outside a railway station.

cj and elliott had told their families where they were going. kieran, a father of four, had not. i didn't tell the mums, no, i didn't even tell my mum. what brought them together was a desire to do something, anything, to help ukraine. you're not fighting in someone else's street. does it end up in yours? does it end up, you know, my kids become a target — to my mates, kids. i'll do anything. i'm a trained infantry soldier. i'll help out wherever i can in the field, anywhere from back to front. from the border, it's 50 miles in a bus ride to lviv, the biggest city in the west. these guys are now going to meet up with the ukrainian authorities to see if they want to sign up with the foreign legion here. if they don't, there may be a more direct route to the front line. they've been speaking with other british ex—soldiers who are already there. they may be able to link up directly with them to get where the fighting is. joining this war, if you're a serving british

soldier, is illegal. cj, kieran and elliot say they were pulled aside by the police for a chat as they left the uk, but then allowed to travel on. my name is julia. and what are your names? julia is returning from the border, having helped her daughter to cross. we've come to join the legion to help fight, if need be, to help fight the russians. you are soldiers. you are fighters. yeah, we are ex—army. oh, thank you very much that you have come here to help our ukrainian soldiers. also, they they are very brave. very brave. lviv and the railway station is the volunteers' next stop. there are now serious decisions to be made about where and what comes next. what would you say to people

in the uk who say you guys are just looking for the excitement of war? there is no excitement to war. it's not nice. it's not pleasant. you know, we've seen it. there's nothing nice about dead kids at the side of the road. and are you prepared to die here? absolutely. and with that, cj, kieran and elliot marched off — british boys in putin's war. jonah fisher, bbc news, lviv. gatwick airport's south terminal will reopen today almost two years after closing because of the pandemic. that will almost double the number of flights each day from britain's second—busiest aiport. let's talk to the independent�*s travel editor simon calder. how busy was gatwick airport this morning? it how busy was gatwick airport this mornin: ? . , how busy was gatwick airport this morninu? , _ ., how busy was gatwick airport this mornin: ? ., , _ ., ., morning? it was busy at the north terminal which _ morning? it was busy at the north terminal which is _ morning? it was busy at the north terminal which is the _ morning? it was busy at the north terminal which is the one - morning? it was busy at the north terminal which is the one that - morning? it was busy at the north terminal which is the one that has| terminal which is the one that has been open pretty much during the coronavirus pandemic but for the first time the south terminal has been taken out of its mothballed state and there were hundreds of people checking in for flights from

as near as malaga in spain to as far as near as malaga in spain to as far as bridgetown in barbados. it is really a kind of signal to the uk to the rest of europe and the world that aviation is back, really a lot of enthusiasm at gatwick, which is mirrored in airports across the northern hemisphere were in —— where the summer season begins today. i hope that after two miserable years for aviation passengers are getting back on board and we are on the way out of all those travel restrictions but of course the red tape is still very, very tangled and whatever you're going you need to know what the rules are. in the uk it is nine days since we abandoned all restrictions on people coming into the uk but whatever you're heading, thatis the uk but whatever you're heading, that is probably going to be at least some forms you have to fill in. ~ . , least some forms you have to fill in. ~ ., , ., least some forms you have to fill in. ~ . , ., , .,

estonia. safe travels to you. -- lithuania- _ officials in colombia have released more details about the death of the foo fighters drummer taylor hawkins. they say ten substances — including opioids and anti—depressants — were found in his body after he died in the capital city of bogota. will batchelor reports. raucous, riotous, and seemingly unstoppable. taylor hawkins should have been performing with the foo fighters this weekend. in place of that gig, in bogota, colombia, a candlelit tribute. devastated fans could only gather outside the hotel where the drummer, who was 50, was found dead. his bandmates of 25 years broke the news yesterday in a statement, calling it a tragic and untimely loss. now colombia's attorney general has released a statement, revealing the results of initial toxicology tests. he said hawkins had ten different substances in his body, including marijuana, antidepressants, and opioids.

the statement goes on to say that a forensic investigation is ongoing to determine the exact cause of death. the foo fighters were supposed to play in brazil today, part of a world tour which was due to come to the uk at the end ofjune. how or when they will continue without their talismanic drummer is a question which is yet to be answered. will batchelor, bbc news. the 2022 oscars ceremony gets under way in los angeles in a few hours' time. the top contenders for best picture include coda, the power of the dog and belfast. our correspondent sophie long has been speaking to some of the people who are hoping to claim one of the coveted golden stautu ettes. what you doing? getting mixed up with her. you are marvellous, rose. the intensely atmospheric

western the power of the dog, starring benedict cumberbatch, goes into the evening as front—runner. it has 12 nominations. it has made history, with jane campion the first woman ever to be nominated twice for best director. the feelgood family friendly coda, "child of deaf adults," could cause an upset when it comes to best picture. it has a predominantly deaf leading cast, along with emilia jones. there's so much love in this cast. we very much are the family you see on screen, so we all supported each other. we're a tiny little film. we had no money and no time and were independent, so when they called our film's name out with all of those films that had money and had time, with amazing people involved, it was just such an amazing feeling. are we going to have

to leave belfast? - also in the battle for best picture is kenneth branagh's semi—autobiographical love letter to belfast. i've got these two great tennis players... but there are ten in that coveted best picture category, including king richard, the biopic of tennis stars venus and serena williams s father. aunjanue ellis, who played their mother, is up for best actress. when people are applauding for me, they are applauding for her. people are saying this name more and more, and that has a lot to do with this film. so i am so excited and i feel so affirmed by that. will smith is hotly tipped to take best actor for the lead role. roll sound! he is up againstjavier bardem for being the ricardos. both he and his on—screen wife penelope cruz have been nominated for best actress.

awkward ? who will you be rooting for? my wife, the real one. i mean, both of them have done amazing work in different movies, different challenges, because all the characters are different. but i would say that i am especially proud of both of them, but i am particularly proud of penelope, with the fact of being nominated for a job done in spanish. another hot contender in the best actress category is jessica chastain for the eyes of tammy faye, an intimate look at the rise and fall and redemption of the televangelist. what's incredible about it is, as an actress, you spend so many years waiting for someone to give you a job, waiting for someone to tell you, like, ok, you're worthy of this work. and then to have the performance be recognised, and in recognising my performance you're recognising her, it's really emotional and meaningful to me. when people take to the stage this

year to collect their golden statuettes, the acceptance speeches are likely to strike a more sombre tone. but the show will go on, in celebration of an art form that offers an avenue of escape, when arguably the world has never needed it more. some people can find hospitals a stressful place — well one hospital in the us has found a novel way of reducing that stress myra anubi reports. we heard there was going to be goats. i wanted to see if it was true and it is, and i got one and it's pretty cool.

it is astounding how people respond. there's moments ofjustjoy and laughter, sometimes even a moment of tears. oh! it can be very stressful working here as a hospital, so this is the perfect stress release. just a distraction from work. they're very cuddly. yeah, yeah. feel soothing, makes me feel happy and relaxed.

therapeutic gardens are designed to be a stress—coping resource for our patients and our employees 24—seven. abraham, take this one and smell it. the most important characteristic is that they are plant—rich places for all 12 months and in all four seasons. oh, running with the goats isjust like having my dog with me. he'sjust really calm.

for me in the garden i do feel less stress as well. what's more fun than playing with the baby goats? hello. in recent days, we've become acclimatised to temperatures in the mid to high teens in afternoon sunshine. looking into the week ahead, well, you can say goodbye to those, particularly by wednesday. we're going to be struggling to get temperatures in the higher end of a single figures cooler, though, certainly for central and eastern england this sunday afternoon, thanks to a bank of low cloud that's pulled in from the north sea through the night. it'll tend to perhaps burn off a little, perhaps across parts of east anglia and the southeast through the afternoon, but looks set to stay quite solid, particularly adjacent to the north sea,

obscuring the sun. temperatures here in some spots no higher than nine or ten degrees. elsewhere, wwe can still aim, i think, for highs in the mid to high teens in the best of the sunshine. overnight, the skies clear for the south east of england, and i think we'll see some fog developing in time for the morning rush hour, particularly around the 25 area. further north will see some patchy cloud pushing across the northeast of england again. quite low cloud, misty and murky here. and then when we have clearer spells, a risk of some pockets of frost developing for first thing monday. monday should bring a lot of sunshine, though, to the uk once again, certainly brighter across central and eastern england and consequently warmer. some showers developing across northern england through the afternoon. some cloud pushing into southern coastal counties later in the day, but up to 17 degrees again across the southeast of england. but here comes that transition into the colder air through tuesday into wednesday. but here comes that transition into the colder air, through tuesday into wednesday,

arctic air slides all the way south across the uk and the feeling will be very noticeable. through tuesday the colder air pushing in to scotland and northern england, a few showers here turning increasingly wintry across the hills further south. we're kind of in a transition, losing that milder air through the course of the day by the afternoon. temperatures 12, 13 degrees, certainly much cooler than we would have seen through the weekend, with a chance of some showers across england and wales. wednesday, the colder air into all parts with just about scraping ten or 11 for cardiff and london. and here's the area of low pressure that i alluded to at the start, running into the colder air, perhaps slightly overly dramatic on our model at the moment, but you can see the theme certainly looking like there could be something wintry to end this week.
