after the quakes that killed nearly 16,000 people. and — there's been an increase in people taking up detectoring in the british countryside — but should their discoveries be finders keepers? next week will mark the one year anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. the uk prime minister rishi sunak has told world leaders meeting in munich that the international response to russia's aggression in ukraine has not been strong enough. mr sunak said that the sovereignty and security of every nation was at stake in the war.

i'v e i've been having meetings with the leaders from the united states and across europe, and we are united in our determination to ensure ukraine seeds and russia fails. i want everyone to follow our lead in giving ukraine that support, but not only do we need to help them when the war, we need to ensure a lasting peace, and that is something that i have been talking about two allies today. have been talking about two allies toda . ., , ., ~ ., today. you been talking about britain helping _ today. you been talking about britain helping to _ today. you been talking about britain helping to lead - today. you been talking about britain helping to lead the - today. you been talking about l britain helping to lead the effort to help your crane, and one of the examples is fighting their training fighter pilots. are you pushing allies to do the same thing? in fighter pilots. are you pushing allies to do the same thing? in my messaue allies to do the same thing? in my message to _ allies to do the same thing? in my message to everybody _ allies to do the same thing? in my message to everybody here, - allies to do the same thing? in my message to everybody here, it - allies to do the same thing? in my message to everybody here, it is l allies to do the same thing? in my| message to everybody here, it is to join the uk in stepping up support to ukraine, to double down on what we are doing. we are at a pivotal moment in this conflict, where if we provide ukraine with the extra means that they need, then they can turn the tide and liberate their country. that is what i want to see happen,

and that is why the uk is doing more. we were one of the first countries to provide main battle tanks and we are the first country to announce we will start training ukrainian pilots on nato standard aircraft, and provide long—range weapons. all of those are vital parts and how ukraine will win this war and we parts and how ukraine will win this warand we want parts and how ukraine will win this war and we want everyone to do the same. ~' . . war and we want everyone to do the same. ~ . ., _, same. ukrainian said we need fighter 'ets to, same. ukrainian said we need fighter jets to. they — same. ukrainian said we need fighter jets to. they say _ same. ukrainian said we need fighter jets to, they say they _ same. ukrainian said we need fighter jets to, they say they need _ same. ukrainian said we need fighter jets to, they say they need they - jets to, they say they need they need them to win, and it is just a matter of time. privately, that is what allies are saying, and if that is the case, why not sate in public? i am pleased the united kingdom is the first country i announced just a couple of weeks ago that would be training ukrainian pilots on nato standard aircraft. that is uk demonstrating leadership on this issue. these are complex bits of equipment. they do need training and thatis equipment. they do need training and that is what we are doing and starting out as early as possible. what i said today is that we will happily provide assistance to any

country that is able to provide ukraine with fighter jets country that is able to provide ukraine with fighterjets right now. uk stands to support those countries as well. ., , ., uk stands to support those countries as well. . , ., ., ~ uk stands to support those countries as well. . i. ., ~ ., uk stands to support those countries as well. ., , ., ., ~ ., ., as well. have you talked about that with poland? _ as well. have you talked about that with poland? what _ as well. have you talked about that with poland? what | _ as well. have you talked about that with poland? what i have _ as well. have you talked about that with poland? what i have done - as well. have you talked about that with poland? what i have done is i as well. have you talked about that i with poland? what i have done is say to all allies that _ with poland? what i have done is say to all allies that we _ with poland? what i have done is say to all allies that we stand _ with poland? what i have done is say to all allies that we stand ready - with poland? what i have done is say to all allies that we stand ready to i to all allies that we stand ready to support them if they can provide fighterjets to ukraine now, and for our part, we are also leading the world in training ukrainian pilots are nato standard aircraft. that is the right thing to do, because it is about giving ukraine the means to defend themselves and when the war. that is about more air defence, armoured vehicles, it is long—range weapons, uk is different and all of these things and it is important we continue to do so, because we all want to see ukraine see seed and this russian aggression to go checked and punished. that this russian aggression to go checked and punished. that was rishi sunak speaking _ checked and punished. that was rishi sunak speaking earlier. _ vladimir putin is due to give an address in moscow on tuesday— with us presidentjoe biden scheduled to give a speech in poland on the same day. the us vice—president, kamala harris has also been addressing the munich conference.

she spoke of "unprovoked" and "horrendous" crimes having been commited in ukraine. in the case of russia's actions in the ukraine, actions in ukraine, we have examined the evidence. we know the legal standards. and there is no doubt these are crimes against humanity. that was kamala harris. i'm joined now byjohn herbst who's senior director of the eurasia center at the atlantic council and a former us ambassador to ukraine... thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. let's begin with the commentary that we are hearing coming out of munich. anything

they're surprising, or as expected? it is pretty much as expected. strong, rhetorical support for ukraine, but collectively, not a clear indication from nato countries that they are going to send the additional weapons ukraine needs right now. the british prime minister said the right things, but unfortunately he is not the single decision—maker. we haven't seen similar resoluteness from washington and other capitals, to send, right now, not in months, but right now, more tanks the f—16, a comparable aircraft, and longer range virus that can go out 300 kilometres. with; that can go out 300 kilometres. why do ou that can go out 300 kilometres. why do you think — that can go out 300 kilometres. why do you think that's not happened? at theyjust running out of money? it’s theyjust running out of money? it's nothin: theyjust running out of money? it�*s nothing to do with money. it is anything to do with timidity. vladimir putin has done one thing effectively in this war, which otherwise has been a disaster for him. he has committed an amazing con

job, that he is ready to use nukes over crimea or other parts of ukraine. that has, in fact, prompted western leaders, including washington, to self to tour in taking the more resolute steps to defend co—western interests. so recently the brits and the polls embarrassed the germans to doing what they should have done. there are similar hesitation on the f—i6s and other artillery. haifa are similar hesitation on the f-16s and other artillery.— are similar hesitation on the f-16s and other artillery. how do we claim the advantage _ and other artillery. how do we claim the advantage when _ and other artillery. how do we claim the advantage when it _ and other artillery. how do we claim the advantage when it comes - and other artillery. how do we claim the advantage when it comes to - the advantage when it comes to vladimir putin? it’s the advantage when it comes to vladimir putin?— vladimir putin? it's really very simle. vladimir putin? it's really very simple- we — vladimir putin? it's really very simple. we are _ vladimir putin? it's really very simple. we are vastly - vladimir putin? it's really very| simple. we are vastly stronger vladimir putin? it's really very - simple. we are vastly stronger than he is. with our, not even top—of—the—line, advanced military technology, if it comes to ukraine, ukraine will defeat putin on the battlefield. they will reclaim most, if not all, their country, and putin will suffer serious defeat. it will make it harder for will suffer serious defeat. it will make it harderfor him to

the uk prime minister rishi sunak and president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, say there's been "good progress" in trying to reach an agreement to resolve the dispute over trade in northern ireland. but both agreed "intensive work in the coming days is still needed at official and ministerial levels". 0ur political correspondent, tony bonsignore reports on today's discussions, held on the margins of the security conference in germany. rishi sunak arrived in munich today with much at stake and not only in ukraine. as he meets european leaders, the pm also knows that another, more immediate prize is now within his grasp — a new agreement on the rules governing trade between great britain and northern ireland. there are still, though, difficult issues to be resolved. we're working through them hard and we will work through them intensely with the eu. but we are by no means done. there is no deal that is done.

there's work to do and that's what we will set about doing. under the current protocol, which took effect in 2021, goods are checked for compliance with eu rules before they enter northern ireland, effectively creating a border in the irish sea, which means those goods can freely travel on to the republic, which remains part of the eu, avoiding a barrier between the two. but many unionists and brexit—supporting mps dislike the protocol, saying it's too costly for business and threatens the integrity of the united kingdom by treating northern ireland differently. the dup has boycotted the government in stormont in protest. so what could a new deal look like? a big sticking point has been the role of the european court ofjustice in settling disputes. the uk is pushing for it to be at arm's length. we could see different rules for goods, depending on whether they're likely to stay in northern ireland or go south of the border, so—called green and red lanes. the hope is that this will make it much easier for firms just

trading within the uk, by applying minimal checks. the eu, which wants to move on from brexit, is also keen to reach an agreement. there's a willingness on both sides to find a compromise, to find a way out. and i think it's important. it's important for the eu, but i also think it's important for the united kingdom. talks will continue over the next few days. if they�* re successful, a new deal could be announced and put to mps in a crucial vote early next week. tony bonsignore, bbc news. the death toll in the earthquake that struck turkey and syria nearly two weeks ago has now surpassed 46,000. many international rescue teams have now left the region, but domestic teams are continuing to search through flattened buildings. the disaster has left millions homeless and sparked a huge international relief effort. caroline davies reports

from southern turkey. nearly two weeks on from the earthquake, there are still incredible stories of rescue missions that are happening, with people being pulled alive from the rubble. just yesterday, two more were pulled from the rubble in antakya, one a a 14—year—old boy and another a 34—year—old man, that, as he was rescued, was shown a video message from his parents, a video call where they showed him his newborn child. he has since been reunited with his wife and his child in hospital. but of course, these rescue missions are the exception at the moment. we know that the death toll has now risen to over 45,000 and that is potentially expected to rise further. the vast majority of those reported dead are within turkey and in syria, the number stands at 5,800, orjust over. but at the moment, the authorities haven't updated that tally for several days. let's bring you some live pictures now from

anntakya in turkey. pa rt part of the teams that are now clearing the rubble, it is generally accepted that the search for survivors, well, that window has more or less closed. you are hearing of one or two miraculous stories, but clearing away the rubble after that earthquake. surprisingly, one or two buildings are still standing. that work does not stop when the sun goes down. staying in turkey and the body of the ghanaian footballer, christian atsu, has been found in the rubble of his home. the 31—year—old played in the premier league for everton and newcastle before moving to turkey to join hatay—spor. for more on christian atsu's legacy, let's speak now to ghanaian sports broadcaster michael 0ti adjei. thank you forjoining us. first off,

they're the second bidder to have confirmed making an offer before yesterday's deadline, after ineos, a company owned by british billionaire, sirjim ratcliffe, also made a bid. here's our sports news correspondent, andy swiss. it is one of the biggest clubs in world football, and it might soon have a new owner. among the bidders for manchester united, this man — sheikh jassim bin hamad al—thani, the boss of one qatar's biggest banks. of qatar's biggest banks. in a statement he said the consortium plans to return the club to its former glories, both on and off the pitch and will seek to place the fans at the heart of manchester united. qatar has become increasingly influential in world football after hosting the men's world cup last year. but, as then, some fans have expressed concerns over the country's human rights record. another confirmed bidder is sirjim ratcliffe, one of britain's richest men, who owns the petrochemical company ineos, and has already invested in a number of sports. manchester united's fans have long protested against their current owners, the american glazer family, who announced last year they would consider selling the club.

now the battle to buy it is firmly under way. andy swiss, bbc news. you're watching bbc news. hello there. we've seen a lot of cloud streaming our way today on a westerly breeze. earlier on, the best of the sunshine was across northern parts of scotland. other parts of scotland have seen some cloud and some rain. that will pull away this evening and overnight. and many other parts of the country will become dry as well. a few breaks in the cloud, perhaps the best of those probably in northeast scotland. so the risk of some icy patches here with temperatures close to freezing. 0therwise those numbers are more comfortably sitting at around seven or eight degrees. tomorrow will be a windy day in scotland. we'll see the cloud thickening. some rain at times, very different day in northern scotland. that rain will be heavy at times. we've got a cloudier picture across northern ireland, northern england. it may well stay dry. further south brighter, more in the way of sunshine that

than we've had today across southern parts of england and south wales. another mild day temperatures. 11 to 13 degrees. so those temperatures are a little bit higher than they were today in scotland, despite that stronger west to south—westerly wind which will be touching gale force in the far north—west of scotland later on. and we'll see that rain moving away from northern areas of scotland, the northern isles. and then the second weather front slips down into the northern half of scotland. to the south of that, we still have a lot of cloud around. many places may well be dry overnight and a pretty mild one. the lowest temperatures probably across east anglia and the south east of england after those high temperatures during the day. heading into the beginning of next week, we still have this very mild west to south—westerly wind. along that temperature boundary, of course, we find a weather front that will get stuck in scotland and there is quite a deep area of low pressure well to the north of scotland, that will bring some windy weather overnight. first thing on monday morning, the winds could be touching gale force. it'll be a breezy day. elsewhere across the country, we've got the weather front bringing that patchy rain across central parts of scotland and to the south a lot of places will be dry. there'll be a lot of cloud.

probably the best breaks in the cloud, eastern england and eastern parts of wales. and those temperatures still sitting around 11 to 13 degrees. so we have a mild start to the new week. it'll probably be mild into tuesday as well. middle part of the week could see a little bit of rain arriving and then the wind direction changes and things will cool down just a little bit. so these are our city forecasts over the week ahead and you can see how those temperatures do drop away a bit later on in the week. not desperately cold and we start the week with temperatures as high as 14 or even 15 celsius.
