as moscow's war in ukraine grinds on, we report on what happens to russian soldiers who refuse to fight. iran has executed another anti—government protester, the second in less than a week. it's sparked anger at home and abroad. and triggered sanctions, and counter sanctions between tehran and various western nations. we'll get on to those in a bit, but first let's get more on those executions. this is 23—year—old majid—reza rahna—var. he was hanged at dawn from a crane in a public square in the city of mashhad. he was found guilty of stabbing to death two members of the security forces and injuring four others. the circumstances are not clear, but the lawyer imposed on him supported the prosecutor. the opposition activist collective 1500tasvir tweeted these pictures with the words:

things are going in iran. very awful things are going in iran. very awful things are happening —— son. in terms of the protesters, are they being put off? what are you hearing from and then given this is the second execution?— from and then given this is the second execution? what you see on social media — second execution? what you see on social media has _ second execution? what you see on social media has outrage _ second execution? what you see on social media has outrage from - second execution? what you see on i social media has outrage from people inside and there are messages which are calling on people saying that if you do not do this, be more executions but ijust have to wait and see before this man, the second person was executed a few hours before it in the city, the same city where their various demonstrations and protests in the evening. wejust

have to wait and see but obviously, the authorities are thinking that these executions, they are spreading fear and that fear will be enough to put an end to this wave of unrest thatis put an end to this wave of unrest that is been going on for three months. and you can understand that thinking because it's pretty seriously dangerous for people and these youngsters to go out on the streets in protest. nevertheless, some of them do and we are still getting pictures of demonstrators in various corners of the country. in many of them are youngsters and many children have lost their lives. our editor. there has been international reaction. germany's foreign minister annalena baerbock has strongly condemned the execution, and given details of a new package of european union

sanctions against tehran. these executions are a blatant attempt to intimidate people, not for committing crimes butjust for taking their opinions to the streets. as for wanting to live in freedom. but iran has hit back with sanctions of their own. they've targeted top german and british politicalfigures and the uk's domestic spy agency mi5. here's a spokesperson for the tehran foreign ministry. (sot) interference in the domestic affairs of the _ interference in the domestic affairs of the islamic republic of iran is illegal— of the islamic republic of iran is illegal and unproductive. ali vaez is iran project director, at the non—governmental organisation, the international crisis group. ali, you were involved in the negotiations that led to the landmark 2015 iran nuclear deal. you understand how to bring iran to the tablem how iran to the table, how

to get them involved. will these sanctions have any impact on the actions against the protesters?— on the actions against the rotesters? , , ., , protesters? this is a different situation in _ protesters? this is a different situation in the _ protesters? this is a different situation in the sanctions - protesters? this is a different situation in the sanctions of i protesters? this is a different i situation in the sanctions of the time during the 0bama administration at a very narrow objective and this programme and transparency measures and return for economic incentives. the sanctions targeting human rights violations are aimed at naming and shaming and imposing a cost of these cruel policies that the iranian regime is following but there is a limit as to how far they can go to impact decision—making inside iran because it penalised iran to an extent where it is actually running out of leverage to effectively affect their decision—making. indie

affect their decision-making. we have had affect their decision—making. we have had numerous rounds of sanctions and the specific ones, who is being targeted because i know the eu is saying they specifically wanting to target members of the revolutionary guard and the people responsible for the violence against the protesters. to responsible for the violence against the protesters-— responsible for the violence against the protesters. to my understanding, there is a list — the protesters. to my understanding, there is a list of— the protesters. to my understanding, there is a list of 20 _ the protesters. to my understanding, there is a list of 20 officials _ there is a list of 20 officials ranging from some figures within revolutionary guards who were involved in repression as well as the prayer leader who was the father—in—law of the current president and some senior figures in the iranian state television. at the end of the day, these are useful things for the west to do to impose a cost and iran's isolation, including also later this week by trying to push iran of the commission for this which is the un

entity and at the end of the day, the reality is that the iranian regime is pursuing a well—established playbook of trying to instill fear within the protesters and i don't think there's much of the end of the day these must ministers would do to prevent it from moving in that direction. and moving in the direction of supporting russia, the eu has criticised them for delivering drugs and supplying russia with these drones that the country is now using against ukraine. does iran care about with the international community things or has it made its bed in his line with russia? it community things or has it made its bed in his line with russia?- bed in his line with russia? it does and does not- _ bed in his line with russia? it does and does not. it _ bed in his line with russia? it does and does not. it does _ bed in his line with russia? it does and does not. it does in _ bed in his line with russia? it does and does not. it does in the sense | and does not. it does in the sense that it does not like to be treated as a pariah state but it does not

because sitting in tehran, there doesn't seem to be an option other than moving the direction of getting closer with and china. and major strategic dilemma for iranians because the result of the nuclear negotiations was that the west cannot be trusted in the us in the nuclear deal and we impose sanctions and europeans providing political support and at the end of the day, they could not really helped iran out of the economic ditch that it was under as a result of us sanctions and so, it feels like whatever it does, it was to be penalised by the west and we are in a situation of an autopilot where more escalation without an exit ramp which makes, a bad situation that we are currently under more dangerous in the coming weeks and months. especially considering how close iran is to the verge of nuclear weapons right now.—

iran is to the verge of nuclear weapons right now. thank you very much for sharing _ weapons right now. thank you very much for sharing your _ weapons right now. thank you very much for sharing your perspective. | chancellor scholz of germany said the g7 agreed to co—ordinate financial aid to help rebuild the country after the devastating russian attack on civilian targets. ukraine itself, the plexi port is operational again after rush used iran inmate drones to hit facilities in the city and the russian strikes on saturday with more than one and million people in the 0desa region without electricity. authorities said the power is gradually coming back but what is a pleasant been affected as well in subzero temperatures are expected to continue this week. the eu foreign

liberate this area, it will be a very serious trigger and push to liberate the south of the region. it is really cold at the moment. i wonder, how are people coping day—to—day with the power outages, the lack of energy, how are they supporting themselves? it is not that cold yet. — supporting themselves? it is not that cold yet, it's _ supporting themselves? it is not that cold yet, it's around - supporting themselves? it is not that cold yet, it's around plus i supporting themselves? it is notl that cold yet, it's around plus five and so, that's definitely not the maximum we can experience but people trying to prepare. and the generators electric generators types and definitely the most popular outfit is sweaters and some kind of, people are trained to be together, you can see how supermarkets are organising the places where you can charge or telephone orjust to take attend and be warm. and the

resistance that ukrainian is building and the last months without proper electricity and heating is just amplifying because people understand that is the price for independence.— understand that is the price for indeendence. . ,, , ., , . ukrainian forces of stroke the head of the mercenary group. russian state forces in the east of the country say they've struck the headquarters of russia's wagner mercenary group. russian state media agency tass says the hotel hit �*had not been operating'. the news comes as ukrainian security officials have sanctioned seven senior clerics belonging to a branch of the orthodox church controlled by moscow. president zelensky said everything was being done to make sure moscow could not harm ukrainian society. here's our correspondent hugo bachega in kyiv. over the weekend, we saw two major strikes by the ukrainian armed forces in one strike in the region of luhansk in a hotel those being

used by forces in the ukrainian government never talked about major losses there after the attack and —— governor talked about. in the south of the country, it seems like the location was hit and it was a location was hit and it was a location used by russian forces. a lot of activity in the south and also in the east of the country. it's been almost ten months since russian soldiers invaded ukraine, but despite hundreds—of—thousands of reservists being called up, russia is no longer advancing in any meaningful way on the battlefield. president putin insists that russian soldiers on the ground are — as he describes it — "fighting brilliantly" and he calls them "heroes". but there are some who refuse to fight. we've heard testimony from servicemen, relatives and activists — which suggests that some of them have been subjected to mistreatment, threats and even violence to try to force them back to the front line. 0ur russia editor, steve rosenberg, has been listening to some of their stories.

the official view from the kremlin is that russians believe their war in ukraine is a noble cause. 0ne they are ready to die for. but after ten months of fighting, not all the soldiers think that. sergei has agreed to tell me about his son, stas, an army officer. we have changed their names to protect their identities. deployed to ukraine, his son refused to fight. he told me it was a difficult decision for him to take, i told him, better to take it. this is not our war. it's not a war of liberation. i will put that in writing, that i refuse to fight, he said. he and several others who refused had their guns taken off them and were put under armed guard. sergei travelled to the front line in ukraine to try to secure his son's release.

eventually, stas was sent back to russia, and revealed the full drama of his detention — how russian soldiers had tried to force him to fight. they beat him and then they took him outside as if they were going to shoot him. they made him lie on the ground and told him to count to ten. he refused, so they beat him over the head several times with a pistol. he told me his face was covered in blood and then they took him into a room and told him, you're coming with us otherwise we will kill you. but someone there said, i'll take him to work in the storeroom. and there are other stories. these mobilised russian troops were locked in a cellar after they said they won't go back into battle. basements turned into dungeons for those who don't want to fight. human rights activists say cases like these reflect the pressure russian soldiers are coming under

in ukraine from their own commanders. translation: it's a way of making j people go back into that bloodbath. but it's not possible to force people to fight in a war. the commanders know only violence and intimidation. they are used to it. why are some russian soldiers in ukraine refusing to go back to the front? in some cases, it is a moral decision. but for many others, having experienced the horrors of the battlefield, it is simply an attempt to stay alive. later, i speak to the mother of a russian lieutenant. she says he contacted her from ukraine to tell her he had been put in a basement after disobeying orders to advance. he was with four other officers. they hadn't been seen for five months. translation: i was later

told that the building - they were in was shelled and that all five men were missing. - they said no remains were found. it doesn't make sense, it's absurd. the way my son was treated wasn't only illegal, it was inhuman. - russia has inflicted enormous suffering on its neighbour. it's threatening its own people, too. my son told me, i never thought my own country would treat me this way. people here don't understand how much danger we are in, not from the opposing side but from our side. for this war, the kremlin is demanding total support. steve rosenberg, bbc news, russia. a libyan man accused of making a bomb that destroyed a passenger plane in scotland more than 30 years ago is due to appear in court in

travel chaos across the united kingdom as snow and ice blankets the country. the president of the european parliament says the institution is coming under attack, after a scandal emerged involving alleged payments to lawmakers by qatar. roberta metsola said the assembly would be launching an internal investigation over the corruption allegations. here's the president addressing parliament few hours ago. the enemies of democracy for whom the very end existence of this parliament will stop at nothing. these malign actors linked to autocratic third countries. have a allegedly weapon eyes and ngos unions, individuals, assistance and members of the european parliament.

in an effort to subdue our processes. we know that four people have been arrested by belgian police , among them is eva kaili, vice president of the european parliament. she was reportedly caught with bags of cash at her home. although none of the four suspects have been named publicly, ms kaili is understood be among them. she's now been suspended from her duties. we've also heard from the european commission president ursula von der leyen. the allegations against the vice presidents of the european parliaments are of concern and very serious. it is a question of confidence of people into our institutions. this confidence and

trust into our institutions needs higher standards. trust into our institutions needs higherstandards. of trust into our institutions needs higher standards. of independence and integrity. this all began in the summer when the belgian prosecutors lanuched an inquiry into possible corruption by qatar into the european parliament. the case came to light last friday when belgian police seized around 600,000 euros worth of cash in mutliple searches in brussels. computers and mobile phones were also taken, to examine their contents. prosecutors suspect qatar tried to influence parliament by donating money or gifts to meps and those close to them , qatar denies this. here's ms kaili speaking few weeks before her arrest. qatar is a front rather in labour rights and despite the challenges that even european companies are denying to enforce these laws. the seech denying to enforce these laws. the speech that — denying to enforce these laws. the speech that we heard there was

controversial not only in parliament but also in your party as well. transit or no one could imagine the kind the statements there were alleged acts of corruption. let's hear from kristof clerix, an investigative reporter who broke the story. what makes it interesting in the story the connection to her partner who is an italian person and he is linked to the ngo or nonprofit organisation that fights impunity. which was funded find it by another former italian member of parliament. and he is seen as a possible mastermind behind it all. christoph clerics the investigative _

mastermind behind it all. christoph clerics the investigative reporter i clerics the investigative reporter who broke the story. you can say this is, to blue. you people are shocked and you can hear from this people in the european parliament. at the same time i don't think anyone can suggest this is entirely a surprise. that talk about qatar. eversince entirely a surprise. that talk about qatar. ever since qatar was awarded the world cup there were allegations that bribes may have been paid to secure that decision. i think some people will hear about the suggestion qatar is trying to use its money to influence decision—making and say tell me something new. the european parliament has its out for a long time being not entirely above board with finances are not being transparent enough. i lets of the allegations were relatively small. like relative to members of

community, is going to be feeling this and my heart goes out to the families of those young children. and my thoughts and prayers are with them. heavy snow and icy conditions have left many motorists stranded on the road. we know that well over 7,000 drivers have broken down — according to roadside assistance company rac. in a statement, they said that number is "some 50% more than we'd expect on a typical monday in december." this was the scene at stansted airport earlier. all flights at stansted airport were suspended overnight, though they've now resumed — with delays. and it was a similar picture at euston train station. the bbc�*s howard johnson is there with more. we've spoken to lots of people trying to move to other airports across the country up to birmingham to connect to a flight that will get them back to their home country.

we've seen delays caused by the london underground. having staff issues. and we have heard others of points and signals frozen over which has caused disruption on the trains here. we have seen on the departures board all day, delays and cancellations. people are making their way onto change. so were not seated a situation where people are stranded herejust seated a situation where people are stranded here just yet. seated a situation where people are stranded herejust yet. as seated a situation where people are stranded here just yet. as the light fades here and there is a concern that people might get caught up because tomorrow there is a planned industrial action of trained workers. the fear is that if people can't get home tonight they might be stranded in london. so, as the light fades people are beginning to get concerned and more people are coming here and getting on any train they can to get home as quickly as possible. all this is putting pressure on the uk's energy supplies.

and it all comes as the eu faces its own troubles with energy, largely fuelled by the war in ukraine and the eu's dependence on russia's gas. in 2021, russia supplied eu countries with 40% of their gas. but in the last year, that supply has decreased — by as much as 88%. and while europe has managed to avert a gas shortage this year — the international energy agency has warned that might not continue. the message i am bringing to you todayis the message i am bringing to you today is that the crisis is not over. next year may very be, 2023, may be much more difficult than this year. and this is the president of the european commission — ursula von der leyen. we are safe for this winter. russia's blackmail has failed. however, some of our proposals are still under discussion and they are essential for or energy

preparedness. therefore, i called on the consulate to adopt them swiftly. because preparing for the winter of 2023 and 24 starts now. stay with us on outside source — still to come. prince harry and meghan raise the stakes in the latest trailer for their documentary figures published today suggest britain's economy shrank by 0.3 %, in the three months to the end of october. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, is warning the situation will get worse, before it gets better, with the office for budget responsibility, already suggesting the uk, has tipped into recession. in edinburgh's morningside district, toys galore has been open for more than 40 years. but these are not times of plenty. because the pound is much weaker than last year, and most of the toys are imported, they have been getting more expensive. some cost so much now that they're

no longer worth stocking. it's an affluent area but even here people are feeling the pinch. pretty much most people are struggling because they've seen all the costs go up, interest costs, fuel costs, food costs, and yet their wages haven't kept up. everything is getting squeezed. the economy, in other words all the goods and services the uk produces, grew by 0.5% in october but that was largely a bounceback from september, which saw a 0.6% fall, largely because of the extra bank holiday for the queen's funeral. the three months from august to october showed a 0.3% fall, suggesting the uk is on course to be officially declared in recession next year. these figures confirm that this is a very challenging economic situation here and across the world. it will get worse before it gets better. but we have a plan that will more than halve inflation

over the next year and, if we stay the course, we can get back to the strong economic growth that we need. activity in manufacturing dropped by 1.8% and the sector has now been in a slump since the summer of last year. the figures also suggest the economy produced 4% less electricity and gas in october than a year before. with temperatures higher and prices soaring, households and firms put the heating on for an average of only 2.8 days. but that was two months ago. that was then, this is now. andy verity, bbc news. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is. there's been domestic and foreign condemnation of iran after it carried out a second public execution linked to the wave of anti—government protests. the ukrainian black of 0desa is

tomorrow we see croatia taking on leonel messi's argentina. the 35—year—old has been so impressive throughout this world cup, despite that surprise defeat to saudi arabia in the opening match. we know about the league titles, the champions league victories, but can he now produced the biggest performance on the biggest stage of all and head home with the world cup when two crown what has been a glittering career and arguably then go on to call himself the greatest? with the likes of pele and maradona others having won world cups as well. no easy task against croatia who have their own talent man, 37—year—old. they reach the final last time, can they go one step at a? they have to go past argentina if they are to reach another world cup final. then, on wednesday we see morocco in action. they have produced the story of this tournament so far. yes, it has been a shock but perhaps

no surprise when we think that they topped a group ahead of croatia and belgium. they then went on to beat spain and portugal on penalties. here they are now taking on the holders france in the semifinal of the world cup. the first african nation to get there. france, having knocked out england with kylian mbappe. will this be kylian mbappe first world cup? not willing to look too far ahead at the possible final, once again he said that they need to get past morocco and after the performances they have produced there are no guarantees that they would do that when they face up on wednesday. those are our four nations in the semifinals. as we have said before, in a world cup with twists and turns and shocks and surprises, who will progress here is anyone's guess. we are finishing this in addition where we began in iran. in a wave of

protests after the death of my son amina who had been detained by the countries morality but these would entertain by the mother morality police. what are the everyday actions women's have to suffer through. for months we have been receiving the information from women in iran. here are their stories. every time i guards i have my back search. any evidence of process can give security forces another instance to accuse me of. some of my friends have disappeared. i have to go but please keep all my messages and videos for me with you? when freedom comes i want to remember what help he had to go through. process in iran have raged for months. since 22—year—old massa i

hello, i'm kasia madera, this is outside source. iran carries out a second public execution linked to anti—government protests, sparking anger condemnation at home and abroad. these executions are a blatant attempt to intimidate people, not for committing crimes byjust for taking their opinions to the streets. just for wanting to live in freedom. the new sanctions from europe and how tehran is sitting back. also coming up in the programme... a city shrouded in darkness. more than one and a half million people without power after a russian air strike around odesa. and as moscow's war in ukraine grinds on, we report on what happens to russian soldiers

who refuse to fight. shock after allegations that qatar bribed european union officials to gain influence. welcome. iran has executed another anti—government protester, the second in less than a week. it's sparked anger at home and abroad. and triggered sanctions, and counter sanctions between tehran and various western nations. this is 23—year—old majidreza rahnavard, he was hanged at dawn in public square. he was found guilty of stabbing to death two members of the security forces and of injuring four others but the circumstances are not clear. these images were treated by an opposition activist

collection. and this is mohsen shekari, the first person to be executed over the protests. mr shekari was accused of being a rioter who blocked a main road in tehran, and of wounding a member of a paramilitary force with a machete. some of the protesters say the executions have strengthened their resolve. this protester are possibly as mother is imprisoned and this is what she has to say.— what she has to say. after this morning's _ what she has to say. after this morning's news, _ what she has to say. after this morning's news, people - what she has to say. after this morning's news, people are i what she has to say. after this - morning's news, people are designing a protest in the streets of iran. i don't know what they are thinking, what do they want us to react? but the reaction is that the regime is

getting from people because they are making people more angry, day by day, by these killings, people do not have fear they don't fear this regime. not have fear they don't fear this re . ime. �* ., not have fear they don't fear this reiime. �* ., . , ., regime. but there are concerns that there are more _ regime. but there are concerns that there are more executions - regime. but there are concerns that there are more executions to - regime. but there are concerns thatj there are more executions to come. thejudiciary said it had issued death sentences to ii unnamed protesters convicted of the charges of "enmity against god" or "corruption on earth," another capital offence under the penal code. however, amnesty international has identified a further 18 people linked to the protests at risk of execution. even before the current unrest there had been what un human rights chief called an "alarming increase" in executions in iran, with the number reportedly passing 400 for the year for the first time since 2017. she went to see him before he was executed and nobody from the authority said to her that her son

would be executed the next day. he was executed at dawn. the uranium tv showed the pictures, not live, but nevertheless, later on, they put on the pictures of him hanging from a crane at dawn, in front of dozens of people, they looked like security forces, i don't know who they were. and then, they let the family know that he has been executed and they told the family that your son has been buried in such and such plot in such and such cemetery in the city. and when the family went to the cemetery blew the plot, they found some security people trying to bury their son, so it is really cruel, but you know, this is how things are going in iran, pretty sort of awful things are happening.—

going in iran, pretty sort of awful things are happening. deeply cruel. in terms of the _ things are happening. deeply cruel. in terms of the protesters - in terms of the protesters themselves, are they being put off? what are you hearing from them, given that this is the second execution?— given that this is the second execution? ~ ., ., ., ., execution? we will have to wait and see. what execution? we will have to wait and see- what you _ execution? we will have to wait and see. what you are _ execution? we will have to wait and see. what you are seeing _ execution? we will have to wait and see. what you are seeing on - execution? we will have to wait and see. what you are seeing on social. see. what you are seeing on social media is outrage from people inside and there are messages which are calling on people to go onto the streets, saying if we do not do it, there will be more executions, but i just have to wait and see just before the second person, majidreza rahnavard, was executed, a few hours before it in the city of mashhad, the same city, there were already various demonstrations or protests in the evening. we just have to wait and see but obviously, the authorities are thinking that with these executions, they are spreading

fear and that fear will be enough to put an end to this wave of unrest that has been going on for three months. and you can understand that thinking because it is pretty seriously dangerous for people, these youngsters going to go out on these youngsters going to go out on the streets in protest but nevertheless, some of them do and we are still getting pictures of demonstrations in various corners of the country. there has been international reaction. germany's foreign minister annalena baerbock has strongly condemned the execution, and given details of a new package of european union sanctions against tehran. translation: these executions are a blatant attempt to intimidate people, not for committing crimes, butjust for taking their opinions to the

streets, just for wanting to live in freedom. iran has hit back with sanctions of its own. it is targeting top german and british brittle figures and also the uk domestic spy agency mi5. —— political figures. translation: interference in the domestic affairs of the islamic republic of iran is illegal and unproductive. let's discuss these sanctions further. i am joined let's discuss these sanctions further. iam joined by let's discuss these sanctions further. i am joined by the director of global engagement in present 0bama of global engagement in present obama are possibly as whitehouse, a us diplomat for 12 years. these specific sanctions targeting iran are quite specific in terms of the individuals who are behind the executions, the individuals behind the targeting of protesters on the streets. what more can you tell it about the sanctions? the streets. what more can you tell it about the sanctions?— streets. what more can you tell it about the sanctions? the first thing i would sa about the sanctions? the first thing i would say is _ about the sanctions? the first thing i would say is they _ about the sanctions? the first thing i would say is they are _ about the sanctions? the first thing i would say is they are quite - i would say is they are quite superficial and if we really want to

send a significant message to tehran, it is going to have to go far beyond the strong words, the statements, and the stanchion —— the sanctions will this is quite frankly going through the motions. there is no notion that the head of the broadcasting authority is going to travel or even has funds in europe orfor travel or even has funds in europe or for that matter in other western countries, so we are punching up the air and i countries, so we are punching up the airand i think countries, so we are punching up the air and i think we need to freely look at what is going to put real pressure on leaders in tehran to change their course.— pressure on leaders in tehran to change their course. given tehran and iran change their course. given tehran and iran has _ change their course. given tehran and iran has been _ change their course. given tehran and iran has been sanctioned - change their course. given tehran l and iran has been sanctioned before and iran has been sanctioned before and it does not seem to be changing their actions, what kind of pressure do they need to be under? i their actions, what kind of pressure do they need to be under?- do they need to be under? i would say several — do they need to be under? i would say several things _ do they need to be under? i would say several things for _ do they need to be under? i would say several things for so _ do they need to be under? i would say several things for so be - do they need to be under? i would | say several things for so be already have a recipe that has worked. we brought iran to the negotiating table but also to an agreement with the nuclear agreement under president obama and we need to look at how to apply additional stronger

president biden has joined president biden hasjoined other g7 leaders in a call with president zelensky of ukraine. chancellor schultz of germany says the g7 have agreed to help rebuild the country after the devastating russian attacks. in ukraine itself, the black sea port of 0desa is operational again after russia used iranian drones to strike the city. one and a half million people were left without electricity. authorities say that power is gradually coming back but water supplies have been affected as well. sub zero temperatures are expected to continue this week. the eu foreign policy chief has been speaking about the freezing conditions in odesa. it is clear that putin _ conditions in odesa. it is clear that putin is _ conditions in odesa. it is clear that putin is trying _ conditions in odesa. it is clear that putin is trying to - conditions in odesa. it is clear that putin is trying to freeze . conditions in odesa. it is clear i that putin is trying to freeze the ukrainian people into submission.

winter and temperatures have plummeted across the country to below freezing. you do have the possibility that millions potentially, tens of millions of people across the country, will be facing very difficult conditions without heating, without power in some places, even without water. i think that is why president zelensky has again stressed the need for countries around the world to help this country with a defence capabilities, to help ukraine protect cities and protect these key facilities as winter sets in.- facilities as winter sets in. before we came on-air. _ facilities as winter sets in. before we came on-air. i _ facilities as winter sets in. before we came on-air, i spoke - facilities as winter sets in. before we came on-air, i spoke to - facilities as winter sets in. before we came on-air, i spoke to the i facilities as winter sets in. before l we came on-air, i spoke to the mp we came on—air, i spoke to the mp for odesa. he told me that despite the port being in operation, there are still struggles. thea;r the port being in operation, there are still struggles.— are still struggles. they are fully operational _

of the supply, we are receiving no fighters, no drones, no battle tanks, no long—range missiles and it seems to me the problem is that everybody in the civilised world want us to win but at the same time, many unfortunately are afraid of russia. it'll not work this way. and we need to understand that an ukrainian win is the most important thing today because this is a re—establish station of the —— international order. first things first, first it is the restoration of international order. latte first, first it is the restoration of international order. we know that russia is using _ of international order. we know that russia is using iranians _ of international order. we know that russia is using iranians drones. - of international order. we know thatj russia is using iranians drones. how concerned are you that it is getting weapons from iran? it concerned are you that it is getting weapons from iran?— concerned are you that it is getting weapons from iran? it shows us that there is an — weapons from iran? it shows us that there is an axis _ weapons from iran? it shows us that there is an axis of _ weapons from iran? it shows us that there is an axis of evil— weapons from iran? it shows us that there is an axis of evil in _ weapons from iran? it shows us that there is an axis of evil in the - there is an axis of evil in the world. russia, iran, north korea,

it carried out a second public execution linked to the wave of anti—government protests. and the ukrainian black seaport of macro is operational again. the european parliament has been engulfed in a corruption scandal with allegations that qatar has bribed eu officials to try to win influence. the assembly will be launching an internal investigation. the enemies of democracy for home the very existence of this parliament is a threat will stop at nothing. these malign actors linked the autocratic third countries have allegedly weaponised ngos, unions, individuals, assistance and members of the european parliament in an

institutions needs higher standards and of independence and integrity. this all began in the summer when the belgian prosecutors launched an inquiring into possible corruption by qatar into the european parliament. the case came to light last friday when belgian police seized around 600,000 euros worth of cash in multiple searches in brussels. computers and mobile phones were also taken to examine their content. prosecutors suspect that the tar tried to influence parliament by donating money and gifts to meps and those close to them. qatar denies this. here is eva kaili speaking weeks before her arrest. ,, . . kaili speaking weeks before her arrest ,, ., ., , kaili speaking weeks before her arrest. ,_, . , ., kaili speaking weeks before her arrest. ,_, ., ., arrest. qatar is a front rider in labour arrest. qatar is a front rider in labour rights. _ arrest. qatar is a front rider in labour rights, reducing - arrest. qatar is a front rider in i labour rights, reducing minimum wage, despite the challenges that even european countries are denying these laws. ., , ., ., , even european countries are denying these laws. ., ., , ., these laws. european leaders have been -- condemned _ these laws. european leaders have been -- condemned the _ these laws. european leaders have been -- condemned the corruption been —— condemned the corruption allegations. transition macro

translation: this is an unbelievable incident that has to be cleared up with the full force of law. this is about the credible deal of europe. but not all european leaders have been supportive. the hungarian prime minister has tweeted his response, saying... he tweeted a picture of george w bush laughing. let's get more on this. what makes it interesting in this story is the connection to her partner, who is an italian person and he is linked to the nonprofit organisation to fight impunity which was founded by a former italian member of the european parliament and according to the investigators

is seen as a possible mastermind behind it all.— behind it all. earlier, i spoke to our regional— behind it all. earlier, i spoke to our regional editor. _ our regional editor. clearly people are shocked. you heard that any comment and you heard earlier from those people heard that any comment and you heard earlierfrom those people in heard that any comment and you heard earlier from those people in the european parliament. at the same time, i don't think anyone can suggest this is entirely a surprise. let's talk about qatar, ever since it was awarded the world cup, there have been allegations that bribes may have been paid to secure that decision. i think some people will hear the suggestion that qatar is trying to use money to influence decision—making and say, tell me something new. but secondly, the european parliament has itself or a long time been accused of being not entirely above board with finances, not transparent enough and a lot of the allegations were relatively small. they were about things like members expository expenses. they were able to claim without showing

receipts. a lot of people said in the very least, this did not look good but i few suggested there may be some that had their hands on the cookiejar. all of be some that had their hands on the cookie jar. all of this be some that had their hands on the cookiejar. all of this is relatively small compared to the suggestion that a country used its money to influence decision—making with bags of cash. at the same time, for that reason, there have been proposals for a while that there should be better oversight of the european parliament, may be a body charged with doing that and also more transparency over lobbying. lobbying is legal but we felt we did not know enough if an mep was taken out for a lavish dinner and show hospitality, people should know that next time the mep started saying wonderful things about what a wonderful things about what a wonderful country it was. you have action -- actually— wonderful country it was. you have action -- actually met _ wonderful country it was. you have action -- actually met eva - wonderful country it was. you have action -- actually met eva kaili. i action —— actually met eva kaili. can you tell is what kind of a person she is. i can you tell is what kind of a person she is.— can you tell is what kind of a person she is. i met her actually increase when _ person she is. i met her actually increase when i _ person she is. i met her actually increase when i was _ person she is. i met her actually increase when i was covering i person she is. i met her actually| increase when i was covering the domestic little terminal there and people said, if you want to know what is going on, speak to eva

winds. 60 mph gusts are possible. also that rain through the english channel. if it gets close to land areas, sleet and snow is possible. in the wind it will feel very cold. much colder than the temperature suggest. and then as we go through the end of the week, further sleet and snow across the northern half of the country. that change comes from these weather fronts on sunday. if you are travelling across the country, keep across the television and online forecasts and check the temperature changes with the bbc weather app. take care.

well. if the people that drown accidentally, nearly 50% have no intention of entering the water at all. once people are aware of that, they�*ll take on more advisory approach to what they do. the they'll take on more advisory approach to what they do. the draw of snow and — approach to what they do. the draw of snow and ice _ approach to what they do. the draw of snow and ice is _ approach to what they do. the draw of snow and ice is enormous - approach to what they do. the draw of snow and ice is enormous for - of snow and ice is enormous for children because it looks like a great way to play outdoors. what do you say to young children without scaring them, but to make them aware of? ., . ., scaring them, but to make them aware of? ., ., ~' scaring them, but to make them aware of? ., ., ,, .,. scaring them, but to make them aware of? ., ., ~' ., . ., of? you can talk to children and 'ust tell of? you can talk to children and just tell them _ of? you can talk to children and just tell them about _ of? you can talk to children and just tell them about what - of? you can talk to children and just tell them about what can i just tell them about what can happen. you don�*t have to scare children about the dangers and the scare stories. children do understand that water can be cold, it will be unpleasant, there could be items under the water that might get trapped in the pond, and they

will take that to heed. water safety is obviously very difficult situation, but we also have children crossing the roads that we need to educate people on the risks of children every day. teachers, are brilliant at it. adults are brilliant at it. adults are brilliant at it as well. educate by telling and by showing people how to behave and not teaching bad habits into the children. just behave and not teaching bad habits into the children.— into the children. just briefly, it was emergency _ into the children. just briefly, it was emergency services - into the children. just briefly, it was emergency services who i into the children. just briefly, it i was emergency services who came into the children. just briefly, it - was emergency services who came to the scene, but if you see someone in difficulty and ice and you�*re not properly trained, the temptation is still there to help. what should you do? ., , ., , ., , still there to help. what should you do? ., , do? yeah, i strongly advise people not to try and _ do? yeah, i strongly advise people not to try and self— do? yeah, i strongly advise people not to try and self rescue. - do? yeah, i strongly advise people not to try and self rescue. if- do? yeah, i strongly advise people not to try and self rescue. if you i not to try and self rescue. if you do see somebody in trouble, raise the alarm, call 999 or ring 121. if

you can, keep eyes on them at all times, especially if they�*re in moving water. it�*s much easier to locate them when the emergency services do arrive. they have the right equipment to rescue and to get them support when they are recovered. if there is rescue equipment available, in certain locations, it should be within100 metres, so look around for those and it shouldn�*t be too far to go and get one. don�*t enter the water. if there isn�*t anything like that, use a branch of floating pole or something that�*s sturdy enough that can get out to the person, make themselves stable and lying on the floor or on the beach, byjust getting yourself a stable position. then try and get the person to reach

onto that. with cold water shot, the person in the water will lose strength and may not be able to grip, but it�*s important that you�*re able to raise the alarm and get assistance to that person. nathan davies, assistance to that person. nathan davies. thank— assistance to that person. nathan davies, thank you _ assistance to that person. nathan davies, thank you so _ assistance to that person. nathan davies, thank you so much - assistance to that person. nathan davies, thank you so much for i davies, thank you so much for joining us. davies, thank you so much for joining us— who was jailed in libya on unrelated charges, is alleged to have been a member of the libyan intelligence service when the play was brought down, killing 270. david cowan reports. another suspect appears in
