government bring forward proposals that represent action to deal with the problems created by the irish sea border, by the harm that is doing to our economy, undermining our political institutions, creating instability and harming our relationship with the rest of the united kingdom. we cannot have power sharing in less there is a consensus was that that consensus doesn't exist. i'm in the business of rebuilding that consensus in northern ireland.— rebuilding that consensus in northern ireland. sinn fein the resident northern ireland. sinn fein the president mary _ northern ireland. sinn fein the president mary lou _ northern ireland. sinn fein the president mary lou mcdonald l northern ireland. sinn fein the i president mary lou mcdonald said that the meeting she added michelle o'neill had with borisjohnson was tough but sinn fein is committed to power—sharing. irate tough but sinn fein is committed to power-sharing-_ tough but sinn fein is committed to power-sharing. we have not given up on power-sharing _ power-sharing. we have not given up on power-sharing or— power-sharing. we have not given up on power-sharing or the _ power-sharing. we have not given up on power-sharing or the executive, i on power—sharing or the executive, power—sharing is the only game in town, _ power—sharing is the only game in town, working together is the only option. _ town, working together is the only option, there is no plan b. we live here together, we have to work together, — here together, we have to work together, we have to make progress together— together, we have to make progress together and we are out for that. we will work— together and we are out for that. we will work night and day to make that happen _ will work night and day to make that happen. the unfortunate thing is

out of the power—sharing governments here in belfast the dup is strengthening borisjohnson's negotiating hand with ee use, the dup is helping the prime minister or vice a versa. sojeffrey donaldson, he came out he said that that idea was for the fairies and he became pretty irate whenever that whole proposition was put to him. he reiterated that he would not be going back into power sharing in stormont and less there was what he called decisive action on the northern ireland protocol to address his concerns, he unionists either protocol is an economic barrier between northern ireland and the rest of the uk, something that an essence separates northern ireland from great britain and threatens northern islands plays in the union. he even suggested that the tabling of legislation may not be enough for him to move. he said that tipping legislation would be words and what he needed was not words but firm actions. if it was the case at the

dup would get away until any legislation made its way through the parliament in london, clearly we could be into a deadlock lasting many months. could be into a deadlock lasting many months-— could be into a deadlock lasting man months. ., . , ., many months. how much is the main stumblin: many months. how much is the main stumbling block _ many months. how much is the main stumbling block the _ many months. how much is the main stumbling block the protocol - many months. how much is the main stumbling block the protocol for - many months. how much is the main stumbling block the protocol for the l stumbling block the protocol for the dup and how much is it actually power—sharing with sinn fein? i think there is no doubt that too many members of the dup the prospect of sharing power with sinn fein in a situation where sinn fein is the largest party and michelle o'neill of sinn fein is the first minister would be an uncomfortable prospect. fori9 would be an uncomfortable prospect. for 19 years the dup had been the biggest party in the stormont assembly, sinn fein up in the 2nd. that means during that time when devolution was up and running and it wasn't up and running for the whole of those 19 years but when it was the dup always happy, deputy first ministers office. 11 days ago all arrive sinn fein for the first time

that would mean michelle onana two o'neill is in mine, sojeffrey donaldson would be in line for the deputy first minister post in actual fact, it they are equal, they can operate in isolation from each other but there is none the less a strong and significant its symbolism as to who has the title of first minister title. while some members of the dup may not be happy, sojeffrey donaldson maintains here today that he is committed to going back into the power—sharing institution and not the issue is the protocol. many thanks for that. _ not the issue is the protocol. many thanks for that. chris _ not the issue is the protocol. many thanks for that. chris page - thanks for that. chris page reporting from hillsborough. we can speak to sam lowe who is trade expert at flint global. good afternoon for the we've been hearing that the protocol, the trade arrangement that was agreed with the eu post—brexit is causing this deadlock. could you just talk to us

about the protocol? what is this problem that the uk government is trying to solve? flit problem that the uk government is trying to solve?— trying to solve? of course. as part of ensuring — trying to solve? of course. as part of ensuring that _ trying to solve? of course. as part of ensuring that there _ trying to solve? of course. as part of ensuring that there is _ trying to solve? of course. as part of ensuring that there is no - trying to solve? of course. as part of ensuring that there is no need i trying to solve? of course. as part| of ensuring that there is no need to have any formal trade border between northern ireland and ireland, as part of a draw of the european union, the uk agreed that northern ireland would remain de facto within the eu single market for goods and also in practice within its customs territory. this means that goods entering northern ireland from the rest of the world but also great britain are subject to eat you third country regime for import, which means checks, declarations. there are some caveats to this, for example, terrorists are not do so long as they can demonstrate that product will remain in northern ireland and not leak inter—ireland or the eu more widely. but of course, this does cause disruption to companies it is a border in

essence within the uk between great britain and northern ireland. ie essence within the uk between great britain and northern ireland. is the ob'ection britain and northern ireland. is the objection that _ britain and northern ireland. is the objection that to _ britain and northern ireland. is the objection that to business - britain and northern ireland. is the objection that to business or - britain and northern ireland. is the objection that to business or it - objection that to business or it hampers business or is it about politics. it's a bit of both. timer;r politics. it's a bit of both. they will say i _ politics. it's a bit of both. they will say i may _ politics. it's a bit of both. they will say i may have _ politics. it's a bit of both. they will say i may have been - politics. it's a bit of both. iia: will say i may have been saying politics. it's a bit of both. tia: will say i may have been saying that whilst the protocol is imperfect and they would like to see it improve, they would like to see it improve, they would like to see the burden placed on them bringing goods over, reduce, they do see some advantages. of course it does give northern ireland and businesses based in northern ireland and advantage with selling to the european union because it's still within the territory. but of course, there a political aspect as well. northern ireland for all intents and purposes have been left behind in the context of brexit. for the purpose of goods regulation, customs to agree, it remains within the european union. of course for those that want to see

northern ireland as an integral part of the united kingdom, this is a tough pill to swallow because there is a clear differentiation between northern ireland and the rest of the united kingdom. of course this is a compromise and it was a necessary compromise and it was a necessary compromise in to ensure there is no need for controls on checks between northern ireland and ireland. compromise is a difficult and not everyone is necessarily on board. the uk government is now talking about wanting a different sort of compromise. what does it want? it’s compromise. what does it want? it's actuall compromise. what does it want? it�*s actually quite difficult to figure what the uk government wants. appeasing this to enact different bits of information together, my view is where it is now the default that goes enter northern ireland as if they're entering the eu unless proven otherwise, they would like to flip the burden of proof and have it be the case that all goods moving into northern ireland from great britain are treating as if they remain in the uk, unless there is a

reason to think otherwise. if there's a reason to that that product be it food or the like is destined for ireland or the wider eu then there can be controlled. there is a long list of other things a uk government would like including the extension of the grace periods that allow for chilled meat preparation, the famous sausage to continue entering from great britain. there's more existential issues as well like they would like to remove the european court ofjustice which is still in play within northern ireland because northern ireland implements european union rules. my view is that some of these demands or requests depending on how you view it are potentially achievable and others not. of course the uk now intends dracula unilaterally or impose these which will lead to more political tension and bickering over the summer. ladle

ljy death have been felt deeply not only by the force she syrup at the wider community. the committed and compassionate community police support officer. she helped many people with a particular focus on domestic abuse. but it's herfamily who will continue to feel they loss deeply. ukraine says its troops who have been counter attacking near the country's second largest city, kharkiv, have advanced as far as the russian border. ukrainian forces have been retaking territory in north eastern areas in recent days, as russian forces focus on the donbas region further south. it comes as nato officials said russia's strategy in the east of ukraine may be stalling, amid heavy losses and fierce resistance. meanwhile one of the biggest ever nato military exercises in the baltics gets under way in estonia today, involving ten countries, including the uk, us, finland and sweden. james water house has the latest.

"we have made it, mr president. we are here." where these ukrainian soldiers say they are is in the kharkiv region on the russian border. the invaders seem to have left the area surrounding ukraine second's largest city, kharkiv. leaving behind now familiar trails. translation: the russians left really quickly. _ they didn't have time to loot much. we saw what we think were the headquarters. many positions were abandoned, flak jackets and helmets lying around. as the russians focus more on the east, so is nato. carrying out its biggest ever exercises in latvia and estonia — ten countries, 15,000 troops. belarus is conducting its own military training close to the polish border. it's russia's ally and was a big facilitator in its invasion of ukraine.

nato thinks ukraine could actually get itself in a position to win this war, but that would rely on two things — either the russians retreating completely, something that is looking very unlikely, or the ukrainians themselves forcing them out. president zelensky has already admitted he doesn't have the military means to free cities, as written there, like mariupol. the last stand at mariupol steelworks are a reminder that this war is far from over. james waterhouse, bbc news, in kyiv. in a video message posted on his instagram account, president zelensky has congratulated the troops that are believed to have regained control of territory on the russian border near the country's second largest city of kharkiv. translation: to the boys of matawan, 270th battalion, hundred and 70th brigade of the territorial defence

of ukraine. —— kharkiv. very proud of ukraine. —— kharkiv. very proud of you for myself, for my family, my gratitude is, i wish you all hell, thank you and your parents, well done. and thank you to all such soldiers as you. everything will be ukraine, glory to ukraine. sweden's government has decided the country will seek nato membership, after decades of non alignment. the prime minister, magdalena andersson announced the decision after a three hour debate, saying she feels confident of pubic support. a date for the formal application is still unclear because sweden will send its application together with finland. ulf kristersson, the leader of the opposition moderate party also backs the decision to apply for nato membership, describing it as �*historic�*. for more on this and that huge nato military exercise taking place in the baltic,

we can speak with christopher skaluba, director of the transatlantic security initiative at the atlantic council. he's in brussels. good afternoon. thank you for joining us. just spell out for us the benefits for each side, for finland and sweeting during nato, what did they gain and what does nato gain from their presence in the alliance? i nato gain from their presence in the alliance? ., nato gain from their presence in the alliance? ~ ., ., ., alliance? i think for finland and sweden they — alliance? i think for finland and sweden they are _ alliance? i think for finland and sweden they are looking - alliance? i think for finland and sweden they are looking at - alliance? i think for finland and sweden they are looking at a i sweden they are looking at a deteriorating environment. they see neighbours of russia like belarus and ukraine under stress and they want an insurance policy. they are great militaries, they know how to protect their territory but they also now recognise what russia is capable of and they want to make sure they are inside the alliance and have protection. on the nato side they are getting allies that are strong democracies, strong economies, strong militaries that

have a very thoughtful understanding of russia, they bring that perspective to the alliance. it also opens up operational possibilities for it nato, trying to defend the baltic states or deter with the baltic states or deter with the baltic states or deter with the baltic states it's difficult because you have to work around swedish territory. but their geography and the alliance it actually opens up different possibilities for how to defend the eastern flank. this different possibilities for how to defend the eastern flank. this is a decision that _ defend the eastern flank. this is a decision that finland _ defend the eastern flank. this is a decision that finland and - defend the eastern flank. this is a decision that finland and sweden | decision that finland and sweden have taken now. they didn't act when russia went in and in 2014 to annex crime era, this is clearly of a whole different order.- crime era, this is clearly of a whole different order. that's right. the did whole different order. that's right. they did get _ whole different order. that's right. they did get much _ whole different order. that's right. they did get much more _ whole different order. that's right. they did get much more serious i whole different order. that's right. . they did get much more serious about their partnership with nato after 2014. and the fact that her relationship with washington, london and other nordic states. they are pretty focused after 2014 the way that happened was not little green man, not full—scale world war ii style invasion like we are seeing right now and ukraine. i think this

is unnerve them in a different way and they want that insurance policy. talking of this big military exercise taking place right now involving ten countries including sweden and finland, what's the purpose of these exercises was back the purposes to remind the russians that nato is prepared to defend its own territory. that nato is prepared to defend its own territory-— that nato is prepared to defend its own territory. they want to do that as far east — own territory. they want to do that as far east as _ own territory. they want to do that as far east as possible, _ own territory. they want to do that as far east as possible, the - own territory. they want to do that as far east as possible, the baltic i as far east as possible, the baltic states in particular feel very unnerved, they are very small militaries, they rely on other countries involved in the activities to defend them in a case where russia may invade them like they invaded ukraine. this is trying to show the russians that we can put mass forces in the baltic states and we are prepared to defend them in a crisis. i5 we are prepared to defend them in a crisis. , ., ., we are prepared to defend them in a crisis. , . ., ., crisis. is there a danger that will only ramp attention? _ crisis. is there a danger that will only ramp attention? i _ crisis. is there a danger that will only ramp attention? i think - crisis. is there a danger that will i only ramp attention? i think there robabl only ramp attention? i think there probably is- _ only ramp attention? i think there probably is- as — only ramp attention? i think there probably is. as you _ only ramp attention? i think there probably is. as you mention, - only ramp attention? i think there i probably is. as you mention, belarus exercising at the same time, there's a little bit of tit—for—tat. i do feel as if with the exercise and

he can't get it out of the moment. he was optimistic about crop planting, as you know ukraine is a major supplier of wheat, major supplier of oil, cooking oils. they said, he was pretty optimistic optimistic about planting bed at the moment is that we have no way of shipping it out as things stand it is getting worse. that is a major worry and it's notjust a major worry and it's notjust a major worry for this country, there is a major worry for the developing world as well. if i have to... sorry for being a apocalyptic at the moment thatis being a apocalyptic at the moment that is a concern.— that is a concern. governor of the bank of england _ that is a concern. governor of the bank of england being _ that is a concern. governor of the | bank of england being apocalyptic. he used that word several times and apologise but on the other hand he used it. he was giving warnings about the further risk to world inflation in the world economy

generally arising from the ukraine complex was that if we do ban any diesel coming in from this country at up the price of diesel again. the onty sounding apocalyptic about his food. he was talking to the finance minister of ukraine who said that they are having difficulty getting they are having difficulty getting the food out of ukraine. as you know, ukraine is a big exporter of wheat and cooking oil. those prices have already shut up. if they can get any that stuff out then it could further enhance world prices, boost prices and further boost the cost of living. it's really serious for the developing world. while we don't import a vast amount of wheat up the global price what that means it's harder for developing countries to feed themselves.— feed themselves. looking specifically _ feed themselves. looking specifically at _ feed themselves. looking specifically at the - feed themselves. looking specifically at the uk i feed themselves. looking i specifically at the uk where inflation is heading towards 10%. what did andrew bailey had to say about what the bank of england can do? he's been accused of having been asleep at the wheel. brute do? he's been accused of having been asleep at the wheel.— asleep at the wheel. we have a blame came auoin asleep at the wheel. we have a blame game going on — asleep at the wheel. we have a blame game going on where _ asleep at the wheel. we have a blame game going on where label— asleep at the wheel. we have a blame game going on where label saves i asleep at the wheel. we have a blame game going on where label saves thel game going on where label saves the governments fault and the government

say it's the bank of england small. actually, none of them can really do anything about it because it is the bank of england pointed out today, 80% of any overshooting inflation is down to global factors, there's nothing interest rates can do to calm the flames of inflationary and burner that's been in flame by global forces. burner that's been in flame by globalforces. the burner that's been in flame by global forces. the war in burner that's been in flame by globalforces. the war in ukraine and the reopening of the economy post pandemic. the whole debate is on a false premise that the bank of england can do anything about it. but they can do is remaining 20% where they might choke off demand if demand is too high for some even that assumption is a bit questionable because we are heading for a slowdown, we are in stagflation land. do you really want to be raising interest rates and taxes to choke off to mandan chuck often inflation what it may lead to recession? ~ ., , often inflation what it may lead to recession? ~ . , ., ., recession? what is the point of a tan et if recession? what is the point of a target if the _ recession? what is the point of a target if the bank _ recession? what is the point of a target if the bank of _ recession? what is the point of a target if the bank of england i recession? what is the point of a target if the bank of england hasj recession? what is the point of a i target if the bank of england has so little room for manoeuvre?- little room for manoeuvre? there's no oint little room for manoeuvre? there's no point for — little room for manoeuvre? there's no point for having _ little room for manoeuvre? there's no point for having a _ little room for manoeuvre? there's no point for having a target - little room for manoeuvre? there's no point for having a target if- little room for manoeuvre? there's no point for having a target if you i no point for having a target if you never hit it. on the other hand,

very badly injured, he was sick in hospital but died shortly afterwards. this is a rural area, it's up on the hills above the m 62 and there a public footpath that leads through the farm. from there you can see there is a blue forensic content that's been erected and there are too long plastic police shields that were used in an effort to try and control the dogs which were loose in the farmland there. police managed to catch those dogs, one of them was destroyed, others were taken away. greater manchester police have confirmed this afternoon that there have been calls to this address be for and because of that it will be investigated on the ground. there also appealing for anyone with any information to get in touch with them.— anyone with any information to get in touch with them. thank you. time for a look at the weather. it's been so changeable and the clouds in places have been such a drag. overcast and rainy across

parts of scotland through the course of today to the south, the cloud eventually broke with them showers and that's likely to continue, some of them thunderstorms across parts of them thunderstorms across parts of england and wales. but towards the end of the night we do think things should clear up at least across the bulk of the uk. the uk. the bulk of england at least. temperature is around ten or 11 degrees for most towns and cities. tomorrow we are expecting rain across weston parts and that rain through the morning into the afternoon will get more extensive, and heavy, you can see the area of rain expands and angles parts of western uk. cool cloudy rain here but a fairly warm if not hot they even for some of us in the south—east and east anglia, up to 26 degrees. tomorrow that rain will eventually end up in scotland once again was up some of it could be thundery at times was up the following couple of days, temperatures essay on the warm side but the weather is always going to be changeable, a risk of showers and

thunderstorms.

the prime minister has been in northern ireland speaking to the two biggest parties as this government prepares to make unilateral changes to the northern ireland protocol. brute to the northern ireland protocol. we are to the northern ireland protocol. - are ten days off from a very important election here in northern ireland we have not been able to get the government going to look at the situation. we have massive pressures on the economy, health care system needs addressing, we need a government. we need that executive form and so, as is often the case in northern ireland, therapeutics that different parties want fixed that the trade to sort some things out. one of the things you're doing is making sure on language and culture and on abortion, we are moving to help and we have more about that later this week and as you know, this issue with the northern ireland

protocol in here, you have one of the traditions come with the communities that does not like the way it is operating and in fact, none of the parties, spoke to all of them just now and not one of them likes the way it is operating at the all think it can be reformed and improved from sinn fein to dup, all of them. the question is how do you do all of that? and we would love to have a in a consensual way, with our friends and partners and ironing out the problems, stalking some of these barriers and in order to get that done, we need a legislative solution of the same time. did done, we need a legislative solution of the same time.— of the same time. did you feel for the dup to _ of the same time. did you feel for the dup to form _ of the same time. did you feel for the dup to form the _ of the same time. did you feel for the dup to form the executive, i of the same time. did you feel for. the dup to form the executive, is a looking and more likely tonight? yes eve one looking and more likely tonight? iezs everyone should be looking and more likely tonight? iazs everyone should be rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck into the government of northern ireland. look

at this place, it's an amazing place and here we are in the factory where they are absolutely crucial to what they are absolutely crucial to what they are absolutely crucial to what they are able to do to protect themselves northern ireland business is going so well in so many ways. we've got so much going for it but we need leadership and we need government and so, you bet, i said to the dup in particular, we want to see you back in the executive. we want to see you nominating you want to see a speaker in the assembly. the issue they have is that they object to the operation of the protocol and we don't want to scrap it but we think it can be fixed and actually, five of the five parties that i spoke to also think it needs reform. ., ., ., ., ., reform. you are going to tear international— reform. you are going to tear international agreement i reform. you are going to tear international agreement that | reform. you are going to tear i international agreement that you signed less than two years ago that could cause a trade war with our biggest trading partner at the time

will are at a cost of living crisis and an actual war in europe. does that seem to be the wisest thing to do, prime minister? what that seem to be the wisest thing to do, prime minister?— do, prime minister? what we are doinu is do, prime minister? what we are doing is sticking _ do, prime minister? what we are doing is sticking up _ do, prime minister? what we are doing is sticking up for _ do, prime minister? what we are doing is sticking up for the i do, prime minister? what we are| doing is sticking up for the belfast good friday agreement and what we're doing is to protect and preserve the government of northern ireland and yes, you are right. there is a cost—of—living issue but that is certainly not being helped by extra barriers to trade, extra burdens on business that are being caused by the protocol. it certainly will not be helped if you have a situation where the executive is not up and running in northern ireland. you need the executive, you need the assembly and that is what the people of northern ireland want us as politicians to focus on they want us to focus on the economy, on jobs, on health care that means the government has to get going. the

prime minister speaking. callum wheeler had already admitted responsibility for the death of julia james. ambush close to her home in april last year. the last hour, her husband has been speaking outside court. she was the funniest person i've ever met. i can explain how much i love her, i can explain it in words. this guy has taken it away from us. she was just amazing, so proud this guy has taken it away from us. she wasjust amazing, so proud of her. the work she did was just amazing, to help so many other people, women particularly. they were in danger from people, women particularly. they were in dangerfrom men. bad men, i'll call them. but i cannot be as proud as i am, we got will we

deserved today. to the united states now and investigators in upstate new york are looking into whether authorities missed any telltale signs left by an 18—year—old gunman before he opened fire at a buffalo supermarket killing ten people. authorities said payton gendron carried out an act of"racially motivated violent extremism". 11 of the 13 wounded were black. as well as seeking a better understanding of his motives for the attack, authorities will focus on what could have been done to stop him. president biden and first lady jill biden will visit buffalo on tuesday. joining us is imran khan, ceo and founder of the center for countering digital hate, an international ngo which fights against online hate and misinformation. it should be said that the suspect

had been investigated by authorities the previous year for generalised threats that he was making at his school. in terms of how this person may have been radicalised from the authorities are treating this as a racially motivated hate crime, what do we know about the influences on him? it do we know about the influences on him? . , , . , , do we know about the influences on him? .,, ,., do we know about the influences on him? .,, ,. ., him? it appears he is laid out the root of the _ him? it appears he is laid out the root of the pathway _ him? it appears he is laid out the root of the pathway that - him? it appears he is laid out the root of the pathway that he i him? it appears he is laid out the root of the pathway that he went | him? it appears he is laid out the i root of the pathway that he went on being radicalised in the manifesto that he posted online. and it's depressingly familiar items through mainstream social media platforms that he said he was bored during the pandemic and started reading this material and it shined with him for whatever reason and this material is designed to radicalised young vulnerable people and he went down the rabbit hole of misinformation and hate that we now know infects

social media endemically and they have done too little to clear up. it is the same pathway come the same medical materials, the same content to radicalised the killer who committed the acts in christchurch new zealand, murdering muslims there. the same material that radicalised the killer who committed the atrocity againstjewish people at the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh and again, what we have seen is malignant content online proselytized by hate actors and with too little action taken by social media personnel to clear it up. cleaning social media platforms, is it inertia, is it technically difficult to do because his platforms are so big, what is it? just a few weeks ago, we conducted a study of traditional hate on the pay replacement theory, the specific

conspiracy theory that this killer cited as mobilising ideology. he took hundreds of posts of content containing great replacement theory and misinformation and hatred and we reported it and we checked whether or not they took action. nine out of ten times, no action was taken and this is despite the fact that in the wake of the christchurch massacre of muslims, three years ago, every single social media companyjoined the call and said they would do their utmost to remove content which breached their terms and conditions to spread can spiritism and hate. we have a serious problem because the economic incentives are misaligned. and to take down content, they reduce the amount of content they can monetise, they can make money from, they also take advice which is costly because they have to do

something and then if they do nothing, there are no consequences for them because they are not held liable. and that is why it is absolutely crucial that we passed legislation as the uk is doing right now with the online safety bill and the european services act to impose some of those costs for the harms created on social media platforms which are currently borne solely by society, by and is sent back onto social media platforms, economically social media platforms, economically so we can dis— incentivise them from being lazy, greedy and venal as they have been. but being lazy, greedy and venal as they have been. �* , ., , ., ~' have been. but this will only work if this happens — have been. but this will only work if this happens universally - if this happens universally otherwise there's always going to be an outlet. ., , , otherwise there's always going to be an outlet. . , , ., an outlet. that is why we are brinuain an outlet. that is why we are bringing together _ an outlet. that is why we are bringing together legislation | an outlet. that is why we are i bringing together legislation just on thursday and in washington from the eu to talk about a global

framework for action so that we can deal with us globally together and get some good results.— deal with us globally together and get some good results. thank you so much and that's from _ much and that's from the centre of town traditional hate. thank you. —— countering digital hate. coleen rooney has been in the witness box at the high court again, as she defends a libel claim made against her by rebekah vardy. our correspondent charlie haynes is there — we are now in week two of the trial and we are hearing from rooney, the second day for giving testimonyjust giving testimony this morning and we are going into the weeds of her digital detective skills and the lawyer for vardy, digital detective skills and the lawyerfor vardy, they digital detective skills and the lawyer for vardy, they call it a diyer who and she became convinced of her time that vardy have been

licking her stories, around and pass them over to the media and a message with her pr that was read out in court, she described vardy as being fame hungry and at one point, she blocked vardy on instagram and she got in touch with her and asked her why she had been blocked and rooney said she felt suspicious being messaged about this and said she did not want to tip off vardy that she was suspicious of her and so she decided to fib and said it was her children who are using her phone and have done it by accident. we've also been finding a little bit more about the impact of this case on both women and so, you heard from rooney, how she hated the term and disliked the process and said she felt it was hard and people i trusted and people are led into my circle were going against me and i hated every minute of it. and we heard from vardy last

week that she had encountered so much trolling that she and her children god and expressed sympathy. but she said i have not use vicious words and i could've done much worse. we've still got more people in pr and the football world and the specialist witnesses that are coming are expecting this trial to go on and possibly on thursday. the charity has — and possibly on thursday. the charity has decided to speak to more than a thousand dementia sufferers and their carers and is published an online checklist identify the signs of dementia. with me is claudia who is professor of psychiatry at the university college of london and how

does one distinguish between dementia sufferers and people were just getting older? this campaign for the action week is that _ older? this campaign for the action week is that people _ older? this campaign for the action week is that people often _ older? this campaign for the action week is that people often discount| week is that people often discount symptoms, feeling there due to old—age when actually, they're not getting old, they are getting ill. people can occasionally get her they've gone for forget the names of occasionally. symptoms such as repeated, repeating yourself again and again and forgetting how to do familiar activities and many others are listed on the check was because often people want help to make the distinction and he can really empower people to seek help for themselves for relatives to have a checklist to sit down together and he can help to have direct

conversations with the gp to get a referral if that is what they need and not everybody is worried about this, but the alzheimer's society because it's better to know that's what the people thought too. if there is such a diagnosis, with support is available for people with dementia? ., ., , , ., dementia? unfortunately, there is no cure currently — dementia? unfortunately, there is no cure currently although _ dementia? unfortunately, there is no cure currently although the _ cure currently although the alzheimer's society and others are trying to change that. still a lot that can be done for the awareness of what is happening to you getting help to get services to live as well as possible with the memory and of the symptoms that you have. people do not get a diagnosis in a timely way, then unfortunately started to present in crisis and put themselves in dangerous situations since of getting help for early can be an

important step and can relieve pressure on services. because there's so much more that you can do to really support someone to stay in their own home and get help really. from the telltale signs of someone who may begin dementia and how to distinguish that just getting who may begin dementia and how to distinguish thatjust getting older. keeping is to get the memory concern and so repeating the story again and again, oractive and so repeating the story again and again, or active qualities of things that never used a custom equity before so, perhaps getting lost when out or putting things in the wrong place doing things repeatedly, if you once or twice forget the name of somebody and occasionally forget, thatis somebody and occasionally forget, that is different but things are

happening persistently and others are worried about the impact of the problem, then it can be very important of the conversation. it is understood going to end in this but it may in a more timely diagnosis or in reassurance if there is a concern. in reassurance if there is a concern-— in reassurance if there is a concern. . ., ., ., ., the american fast food restaurant mcdonalds has announced it will exit the russian market and sell its business in the country to a local buyer. our russia editor steve rosenberg is in moscow and told us how significant this is. mcdonald's a temporarily shut its restaurants across russia back in march and that's where a lot of international companies and global brands had suspended their operations. the fact that mcdonald's has now come out and said, look, thatis has now come out and said, look, that is it, we are pulling out, i think that is recognition of the

reality, really bad things are not going to return to normal here and with the crewmen because the kremlin calls special military operation, what most of the world calls russia's war has changed things. and owning a business in russia was no longer tenable or consistent with mcdonald's values. i remember the first mcdonald's restaurant was openedin first mcdonald's restaurant was opened in russia way back in 1990 backin opened in russia way back in 1990 back in the ussr, there was such excitement in huge crowds and add to queue for three hours to get an and i remember that day, american burgers and fries and pies, they really were a symbol that they of moscow embracing the west, fast hot food to help in the cold war. a fast—forwa rd food to help in the cold war. a fast—forward and things are changed and rush in the west of lost her appetite for one another because russia's offensive and the ukraine has spurred international

condemnation and the accused through request of threatening russia. time never look at _ request of threatening russia. time never look at the _ request of threatening russia. time never look at the weather. i met of opened with the absence of open with claps of thunder resonating through the sky. and a beautiful picture earlier on in dorset, one extreme to another. the weather has been travelling from the south and for the southwest of the last day or so some of the storms of been drifting in from france and others are what we would call home grown and so, they develop your at home if you look at the radar, it's really been kicking off in northern ireland and around like a share in the last couple of hours or so and so they'll continue for a while in the storm will eventually lose that as we move further north and for most of us, particularly stormy night the skies were clear and places and in most

major towns in city centres on tuesday between seven and 12 degrees and not particularly cold, but where it should be. the weather for tomorrow, noticed the weather front is approaching the southwestern western approaches here and that spells cloud and rain for cornwall eventually devin and west fringes of wells, the irish sea would be white though give rain in this weather front will stick around for most of the west was further east, a completely different story with sunshine and at the very least, clear blue skies and east anglia with temperatures up to 26 compared that with the rainy belfast but that will eventually move into central parts of scotland on the evening we should see some storms affecting the southeast that's all because the slow pressure sticking around for quite some time with another friend circling around and winds coming in from the south of the atmospheres is busily shunting all of that unstable

volatile air and direction of parts of pop southeast understands piping on wednesday, the earliest in the day will be bright if not sunny but we should see some heavy showers approaching in southwest and southern parts of england in this weather front will bring weather to northern ireland and the further east to northern ireland and the further east to our midweek on wednesday, there will be some sunshine with a look at the forecast for these locations and it is going to be a mixed picture over the next few days. that is it for me. goodbye.

today at six, britain's most senior military officer says ukraine is winning the war and had already guaranteed its survival. but that doesn't mean the fighting is over, we are with volunteer forces facing some of the heaviest fighting since the war began. they simply cannot let the russians through here, if they do, more ukrainian troops to the south and the donbas will be under threat. so they are hanging on for dear life here. also on tonight's programme. can the prime minister unlock northern ireland's political gridlock? he is in belfast, where a dispute over the post—brexit deal is at the heart of the impasse. a 22—year—old man has been found guilty of the murder of police community support officer

julia james in kent last year.
