down pretty heavily unsteadily all there's going to be little morning, and a bit more of that to in the way of change. it is just these northern areas come this afternoon. the stage for that will see the snow — about five to ten centimetres that snowy weather in the north was building up in places. certainly through the central belt, set yesterday. whereas most of the it's mild and wet, with temperatures uk had this milder air moving in, reaching double figures around 11 or 12. across northern scotland, we had now, for many of us, this freed of cold polar air, and it is going to be a cloudy day into that has come today's weather but the high ground in wales is breaking the cloud system, which has bumped into that across the midlands, east anglia and southern england, colder air, and we have seen a so there will be a few bright lengthy spell of snow across the or sunny spells coming through here. overnight, we get this very narrow, northern most areas of scotland. in the last hour or so, we have seen weak weatherfront, a band of rain pushing its way southwards and eastwards. some of the snow turned back to the snow turns back to rain in northern scotland, reign around the murray coastline. i even over the highest mountains, before clearing out of the way shop divide from the snow to the towards the end of the night. rain, though. in the central belt, so, for wednesday, we're temperatures this afternoon up at all into the mild flow of air. low pressure still in charge, around 12 celsius, so not even that so it's not going to be a dry day. cold in the rain here. further there will be a number of showers south, a lot of cloud, but it is around, most frequent across western areas, and this band of rainjust breaking. there will be a few sunny edges its way eastwards across wales and england through the day as well. spells. overnight, the snow turns now, temperature—wise, back to rain, even across the we're looking at highs typically stilljust about into double highest mountains of scotland, before clearing later in the night. figures, around ten to 12 degrees, but starting to turn colder a weak band of rain moving east across northern scotland, and it will be quite gusty across england and wales, a weak

cold front, showers following. for overnight in the northwest. wednesday's forecast, an area of low pressure in charge. we are all into eventually the colder air moves back in to scotland as we go the relatively mild hour, but it is through wednesday night—time, so the rain will turn back to snow an unsettled looking picture. this and we could see another five to ten band of rain is set to move its way centimetres of snow building in in places before that lot in across wales and england through pushes its way southwards. the day. it will become quite windy what follows then for thursday is a flow of colder north—westerly across north—western areas later, winds slowly diving away southwards. and those temperatures, for many, many of us will see a mixture staying in double figures, though of sunshine and showers. not quite as mild as it will be this some of those showers could be on the wintry side, particularly across the northwest afternoon. through wednesday night, of the country where we've got the coldest air really digging in. our area of low pressure starts to move east, and we get the cold air now, beyond that, for friday, still a few showers left over. coming back in to northern scotland. one or two of those could be heavy. a bit of hail or sleet we will have outbreaks of rain in the northwest. dry on saturday, but then rain turning back to snow. for wednesday returns into the north on sunday. night, again we could be looking at 5-10 night, again we could be looking at 5—10 centimetres of snow in places. as we head into thursday, the cold air will sweep its way south through the day. a day of showers, perhaps rain across the far south to start the day. some of the shower is turning wintry across north—western

areas, and cold winds feeding in, dropping temperatures more widely into single figures across much of the uk. still hanging on to 11s and 12s across the far south. we end the week with a few showers around, some hail and sleet mixed in. saturday looks dry for most of us, with spells of sunshine, temperatures reaching double figures in places. rain on the way for sunday. that will particularly move into northern and western areas. still snow in the forecast, but for most of us, it stays pretty mild. a reminder of our top story... satellite images of the ukrainian town of bucha appear to show dead bodies lying on the streets while russia was still in control there. but russia has again claimed the reports this is bbc news, of what happened there are "fake". welcome if you're watching here that's all from the bbc news at one, in the uk or around the globe. so it's goodbye from me, i'm yalda hakim. our top stories: and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. ukraine's president zelensky prepares to address the un security council, as newly released satellite pictures undermine russia's denials that its forces tortured and killed civilians.

good afternoon. it is 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. the champions league has reached the quarterfinal stage with three british clubs still in contention. the kremlin says the images of atrocities in ukraine are staged and denies any war chelsea play real madrid tomorrow, crimes have been committed. but tonight it's the turn of manchester city and liverpool. the nato secretary—general warns that moscow is aiming to conquer the entire donbass liverpool are in portugal region in the east of ukraine ready to take on benfica. over the coming weeks. jurgen klopp's side are the big moscow has not given up its favourites to progress and, with the league cup already won, they have their eyes ambitions in ukraine. on an unprecedented quadruple. but the manager is not later this week, top eu officials ursula von der leyen and josep borrell will travel to kyiv to meet getting carried away. ukraine's president. one failure, one wrong step and this one competition could be gone, so we have to make sure. it is no problem for us, by the way, because we don't feel that well about the situation, we don't feel that great, we just feel ready for the next challenge and that is all i need, but there is no big celebration over the development of the club over

the last three years. it is just really serious work and i am very, very happy about that. very happy about that. meanwhile, manchester city, who are on the hunt for their first champions league title, are at home to atletico madrid and the premier league leaders know they are in for a tough match at the etihad. we don't know what to expect. we don't know if they will try to press high, go low and wait for us. we know that whenever they try and press us they will be very aggressive, they won't give us much space and it will be very tight, so definitely not an open game, that is not atletico's quality, so more details, little details that are going to be important that will decide these kind of games, so we don't expect an open game, no. ahead of this week's world cup qualifiers, england have have been dealt a double blow. beth england and niamh charles will both be missing for the game against north macedonia on friday after testing positive for covid.

the chelsea forwards returned positive samples in pre—camp testing and have not been in contact with their england team—mates at st george's park, although they may be able to rejoin the set—up in time for the qualifier in northern ireland next week. now, with the masters just days away, speculation continues to mount over whether five—times winner tiger woods will be amongst this years starters. this year's starters. woods was back on the course at augusta yersterday, with a decision expected on whether he takes part or not. it is just over a year since he almost lost his right leg in a car accident, but many at augusta are hopeful. we could hear the loud roar when he came out of the clubhouse on that first tee. that was pretty special to see him, or to hear, at least. and...couldn�*t be more happy for him, in the place he's at right now, coming back, and proud of him too. i mean, shoot, coming back off of that injury, you know,

we've had some conversations and, man, i don't know how he's done it. it's very impressive. after this long break that tiger had, i think he could get into contention. tiger is very special and very unusual. he never played a lot of tournaments in any years, even in his prime. i think it will be hard for him to win, but i think he could pop up on the leaderboard. former world champion boxer lee selby has announced his retirement from the sport at the age of 35. selby held the world ibf featherweight title from 2015 to 2018. he made the announcement on social media in the wake of his defeat to gustavo lemos in argentina last month, the first time in his career he had lost by stoppage. all the latest from the draft of the 2022 hundred tournament is over on the bbc sport website right now. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me, that's all for now.

russia has again denied its forces were responsible for killing civilians in the ukrainian town of bucha, claiming reports of what happened there are "fake", but newly—released satellite images, taken weeks ago, show bodies lying in the streets, while russian forces were still in control of the town. it comes as more than four million people have fled the country since the start of the war. but tens of thousands have also returned to try to defend their homeland. the bbc�*s stephanie hegarty met denis, a ship—building engineer who was making the journey from the netherlands to the city of mykolaiv, just as it came under attack. well, my family is my wife and i have two daughters, is—years—old and io—years—old, so they're waiting for me. when russia invaded ukraine, denys was working as an engineer in the netherlands. he's from mikolaiv. the morning we met, this had happened.

just yesterday night my city was under attack. it was bombing, it's inside the city. his family's apartment has no bomb shelter. they use a tape, you know, to protect the windows, that's it, what they can do. but you know, it's nothing can be safe against the bomb, so they hope nothing will happen. that's it. denys�*s plan was to drive to ukraine, deliver these supplies and rescue his family. oil, food, medicine. how do you feel about seeing your daughters? i miss them. it's... and i'm worried and i will see them soon. i'm sure. i will bring them to the border, but i have to stay, and i'm going tojoin the ukrainian defence forces. i feel that i have to do it, so it's a one—way ticket for me. but anyway, i'm ready. but he was stuck on the romanian border, waiting for paperwork for the van, and every second was painful because things

were getting worse in mikolaiv. two days later, denys told me to meet him at the border. they still haven't got the paperwork and things are getting so bad in mikolaiv, where his family are, he's going to cross on foot and just try and get there however he can. nervous. the worst case, of course, is that i can be killed, there was some good news. his wife and daughters had found an evacuation convoy out of mikolaiv. i'm waiting to cross the border to moldova. have they left mikolaiv? yes. 0k. denys was still determined to go back. i'll go. ok, good luck. thank you. bye— bye.

to help his mother and to defend his country. can't imagine what must be going through his head right now. denys hasjoined ukraine's territorial defence forces. the ukrainian army has pushed russian forces away from mikolaiv for now, but missiles continue to hit the city. stephanie hegarty, bbc news, on ukraine's border. mps have said they're concerned by what they call the "lack of serious effort" to tackle gaps in the nhs cancer workforce in england. the health and social care committee fears staff shortages, combined with the disruption to services during the pandemic, could undo the progress made in the cancer survival rate. our health correspondent nick triggle explains more. this is a major stock—take of cancer services by the health and social care committee, headed by the former health secretaryjeremy hunt. in particular, they've been looking at the issue of early diagnosis. the government has set a target to ensure that 75% of cancer cases

are diagnosed at stage one or two and that's deemed vital for increasing the chances of survival. up until the pandemic, a little progress was being made so the target, 75%, had been hovering below 55% for the past six years. we haven't got updated figures yet for 2020 or 2021 but what we do know is over the last two years, fewer people have come forward for cancer checkups. and there is estimated to be a missing 16,000 diagnoses across the uk, so the concern is these will be cancers that are spotted later and that could actually make the performance in terms of early diagnosis even worse. karol sikora is a consultant oncologist, which is a cancer specialist. he says this problem has been around for some time. well, it's something we've all known

as oncologists, we've seen. i've been a consultant over a0 years now, and we pointed it out 35 years ago that britain was far behind europe. and it's got sort of a bit better, and we've caught up. europe, of course, has gone on faster. and the key problem is exactly how nick triggle analysed it. it's catching cancer. early stage one tumours exist within a defined role in breast, lung, colon and so on. stage two spread a little bit outside, but stage three and four, far outside. treatment results are so good with stage one and two, but so bad with stage three and four. and that's why the emphasis has to be on early diagnosis and fast flow through the system. if you spend most days trying to drag your children away from their computer screens, you might not be feeling all that positive about computer games. they can, however, be a force for good, with some children learning about flood prevention

by playing the survival challenge, minecraft. our gaming reporter steffan powell has been finding out more. boxing day 2015 in lancashire — roads turned to rivers, a reminder of the power and devastation of flooding. how to stop it from happening again is a question people have been asking ever since. today in preston, the next generation is looking for an answer somewhere new — in a video game. what i'm looking for you all to do today is to defend preston from flooding for me, please. parts of the city under threat from rising river levels have been carefully recreated in one of the most popular titles in the world — minecraft. we've set up a simulation that will test to see if your barrier will work or doesn't work. so is everybody up to the challenge? working with specialist teachers who use video games in class, the environment agency is hoping that, thanks to the power of play,

these pupils will better understand why their local community floods and what can be done about it. it's more interactive and people can understand it more. and it's, like, really fun to do. it's like we get to actually learn whilst playing something that. will make us understand how to do it and how to help the _ world with climate. it's streets like this one in preston that the kids at archbishop temple school have been saving — virtually — from the dangers of flooding all morning. and if this pilot project is deemed a success, then other streets, towns and cities across england could soon be having a minecraft takeover, as well. i'm just an old git. you know, if i turn up as a middle—aged man talking about this stuff, they're probably not going to listen to me — or if they are, they might take a little bit of it. but when you put what we are talking about into context they like, they enjoy it, it is fun, we think they are aware of and comfortable with, the interest is spartan

they come alive. some people will be thinking, the environment agency has a big job on its hands, lots of pressing issues to tackle, why are you waiting time focusing on a video game instead of sorting out those other issues? our work is about more than building walls. it's about making places, but the degree isn't it worse so we need to boost awareness and understanding of that and the part in helping us as a nation response. learning to save these streets from flooding is the challenge today, but some think that tomorrow, gaming could be the answer when it comes to tackling a whole host of big subjects. young people do find it immersive. teachers are becoming more comfortable with using games to address a topic or introduce a topic or to allow a 3d model of a topic to be explored to bring it to life. back at school, there is only one question left to answer. is the city safe?

together, we were able to save preston, online at least. the headlines on bbc news: ukraine's president is due to address the united nations shortly for the first time since russia's invasion — where he'll call for a full investigation into atrocities committed by president putin's forces. satellite images of the ukrainian town of bucha appear to show dead bodies lying on the streets for weeks — contradicting russian claims that the killings occurred after their forces had left. a 24—year—old man pleads guilty to the murder of teenager bobbi—anne mcleod, whose body was discovered three days after she was last seen waiting for a bus in plymouth in november. i'm british father and his nine—year wear-old — i'm british father and his nine—year —year—old son have dined in a landslide _ —year—old son have dined in a

he would say, "good one, kiddo." yes, he would be very proud. and today, watching so many different types of wheelchair coming to this stunning location, it is a tear—jerker. tears of joy. the charity launched this week has funded 14 specially adapted all—terrain wheelchairs. some of them are like the ones debbie is using. they will be loaned out from five pubs in the dales. paralympic rower and cyclist rachel is an ambassador for the charity. i really do think it is critical that we look at changing accessibility outside. there are lots of reasonable things that can be done that were having a huge impact, and a lot of things here, people are thinking, nobody is out in a wheelchair, but we can't access it and can't use it, so it is a chicken and egg scenario. that is something that i think access the dales are trying to change and doing a fantasticjob of. it is landscape loved by many

and hopefully, from now, accessible to even more. a hoard of more than 1,000 roman coins discovered a decade ago is finally going on display in wiltshire. they were found by someone using a metal detector in a field in malmesbury. the community raised the funds to buy them and create an exhibition in the town. pam caulfield reports. when ramsey retired from the army, he treated himself to a metal detector. i he treated himself to a metal detector. . , ., ., , detector. i eventually found the top ofthe detector. i eventually found the top of the broken _ detector. i eventually found the top of the broken parts. _ detector. i eventually found the top of the broken parts. i— detector. i eventually found the top of the broken parts. i removed - detector. i eventually found the top of the broken parts. i removed the | of the broken parts. i removed the soil, the clay around the area, opened up the hole to make it bigger so i could get a better look and eventually discovered that it was a

and so, he was out in the garden on the deck chair, with the washing above his head and, erm... and ijust liked it, through mum's net curtains. and our kid has used that on his chaos and creation album and, also, for his lyrics book. so, he must like it too. it means a lot to him. yeah, yeah. it means a lot to us both. now owned by the national trust, it's open inside to pre—booked groups but, outside, it's a must—see on beatles tours. bothjim and mary's sons both had number—one hit singles... - this is where lennon and mccartney took their first steps on "the long and winding road" to become the biggest band in the world. the beatles blazed a trail young musicians have been following ever since, and the national trust is asking for stories from the public on how the band's music has inspired them. this year marks the 60th anniversary of the fab four�*s first hit — a song written in this two—up two—down in liverpool that went around the world
