ukraine we need a military strategy for ukraine to gain a decisive advantage on the battlefield to win the war in a political strategy to win the peace. to win the war ukraine needs more artillery, armoured vehicles and air defense. so now is the moment to double down on our military support. when putin started this war he gambled that our resolve would falter. even now he is betting that we will lose our nerve put up but we proved him wrong then and we will prove him wrong again. together where delivering them much equipment in the next few months as in the whole of 2022. and together we must help ukraine to shield it city from russian bombs and iranian drones. and that's why the united kingdom will be the first country to provide ukraine with longer—range weapons. and it's why we're working with our allies to give ukraine the most

advanced air defence systems and build the air force they need to defend their nation. 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 action in ukraine we have examined the evidence. we know the legal standards. and there is no doubt these are crimes against humanity. welcome to the program.

are you sensing there is a strengthening of resolve to support ukraine with weapons? i'm hoping that there is more to these words than just words, and actually all of promises materialise to action and that action is really what the world needs for long—term peace. there needs for long—term peace. there needs to be a immobilized effort to raise with the most sophisticated weapons with the long—range missiles. also the necessary air defense. that hanks will make a difference they start arriving and working on the ground in ukraine. but also our skies cannot continue to be a vulnerability point, which they are in which they have been for they are in which they have been for the last year. for that we need air defense. very much hoping that these promises of a renewed effort to arm

ukraine and pledges made that already in 2023 that will be doubled or tripled the number of weapons arriving in ukraine. we need to look into the details of what is going to be delivered. find into the details of what is going to be delivered.— into the details of what is going to be delivered. �* . ., , , ~ be delivered. and at what speed. and if our view be delivered. and at what speed. and if your view that _ be delivered. and at what speed. and if your view that it's _ be delivered. and at what speed. and if your view that it's the _ be delivered. and at what speed. and if your view that it's the interest - if your view that it's the interest of the west to deliver these weapons?— of the west to deliver these weaons? ~ , ~ ., , ., ., weapons? absolutely. another year of all out war in — weapons? absolutely. another year of all out war in the _ weapons? absolutely. another year of all out war in the middle _ weapons? absolutely. another year of all out war in the middle of— weapons? absolutely. another year of all out war in the middle of europe, i all out war in the middle of europe, it's not something that the world can take, is not something that democracy should be taking. every chance that is given to russia and every hope that is given to russia to follow through this with invasion and to come out of it with more territories under its effective control is also sending signals to other dictators and authoritarian rulers and regimes out there saying that it rulers and regimes out there saying thatitis rulers and regimes out there saying that it is ok and they can follow suit. i don't think this is something that the world needs or

wants. i'm pretty sure that countries like the us and uk been standing at the defence of democracy for decades, centuries. it's definitely not something they would like to deal with.— like to deal with. much is being made of the — like to deal with. much is being made of the possibility - like to deal with. much is being made of the possibility of- like to deal with. much is being made of the possibility of a - like to deal with. much is being - made of the possibility of a russian spring offensive. is that of great concern in ukraine that that could come from a variety of different directions and presents a large site? ~ , ,., , directions and presents a large site? ~ , , ~ ~' directions and presents a large site? �* , , ~ ~' . , site? absolutely. we think that this offensive might _ site? absolutely. we think that this offensive might be _ site? absolutely. we think that this offensive might be happening - site? absolutely. we think that this | offensive might be happening sooner rather than later. especially given that the russian window of opportunity is before the tanks and all the heavy weapons start arriving in ukraine and start making on the ground. the ideal time would be now within the next couple of weeks. in increased offensive of force. of

after a dash to belfast on friday a meeting in munich. while the summit in germany is focused on ukraine rishi sunak and eu leaders seem to be acting close to a deal that has soured relations for ages, the rules governing trade between great britain and northern ireland. imore britain and northern ireland. we're workin: britain and northern ireland. we're working through — britain and northern ireland. we're working through them _ britain and northern ireland. we're working through them hard - britain and northern ireland. ,, working through them hard we work through them intensely with the eu. there is no deal that is done, there's work to do and that's what we will set about doing. the northern — we will set about doing. the northern ireland _ we will set about doing. the northern ireland protocol is a product of brexit, the decision approved by the uk and eu to effectively put a tray border down the irish sea. it means goods can travel freely between northern ireland and the republic. men need unionist politicians hate the way it is disrupted trade entries northern ireland differently from the rest the uk. after rishi sunak start today ahead of donnie she said that been very good progress to find solutions. so much might those be? a big soarfor the uk is been the role of the european court ofjustice and

settling disputes, compromise on that will be taught. more straightforward a so—called green lane for good staying in northern ireland and a red with more checks on goods heading south. that should mean lighter regulation for firms trading within the uk. politically this is a tricky needle for the prime minister to thread. first he wants a deal that meets the concerns of unionist politicians in belfast and persuades them back into government at stormont. second, he needs to think about his own tory mps here. will it be sellable to the brexit purists who want much of the particle ripped up? labour has said it will support a new deal but rishi sunak might be very wary of trying to get a new plan through parliament on the back of labour votes. third of course, he needs the eu to agree that it's time to do a deal. needs the eu to agree that it's time to do a deal-— to do a deal. there is a willingness on both sides _ to do a deal. there is a willingness on both sides you _ to do a deal. there is a willingness on both sides you find _ to do a deal. there is a willingness on both sides you find a _ to do a deal. there is a willingness i on both sides you find a compromise, find a way out. isaac it's important to work for the eu but also support

now even he can't find his bearings. "everything has changed," he says. stones and debris of collapsed homes block our path at almost every turn. translation: this was a beautiful | area where we took our groups to. | 0ld antakya houses, old anta kya streets, all destroyed, unfortunately. known as antioch in roman and medieval times, the city has been significant forjudaism, islam, and was one of the earliest centres of christianity. now, the gaping arches are all that remains of the orthodox church here. bell towers and minarets crumbled. outside a restaurant, mehmet makes a call to the owner. translation: i'm afraid to call people because i don't know-

if they are dead or alive so i'm scared. i am relieved to hear your voice. the owner is alive but his business partner and their entire family have been killed. this was how the streets used to look. full of life and noise. now drained and empty. outside a butcher's shop, this man weeps for his nephew who used to work there. "my dear one has gone, the world has ended for me," he says. across antakya, the devastation is still raw. but mehmet is taking comfort in the city's history and its record of resilience. translation: so many| cultures and civilisations have been and gone here. it has been destroyed and rebuilt. and this time it will be reborn again. caroline davies, bbc news, antakya.

dno have been treating, warning people there is a six and a half hour wait at calais for coaches at the moment. —— p&0. these pictures were taken by a teacher who had just texted said they through passport control and waiting for the next ferry, they hope to be on board in the next 30 minutes or so but it seven hours after they arrived there. now, these cues coincide with a board of force strike, which is happening by uk borderforce staff but on the calais side. however, the home office are very keen to point out they do not think the cues we see here are down to the industrial action itself. they say there are issues with the calais infrastructure and they say one of the busiest days of the year for coaches travel. clearly, the strike dates are not helping or exacerbating the situation. either way, if you're faced with a six hour

wait with a coach full of kids after a long week away, that's not the best time to be dealing with... it's quite tricky. is it getting any better? at the moment p&0 say they 08 is still around six hours. people just got through about seven. the peak travel for these coaches coming back tends to be at lunchtime, mid afternoon to around now. we should expect things to esau. as i say, massive cues. a whole host of factors going on. the infrastructure calais, the fact that it's such a busy day anyway and of course exacerbated by the industrial action. d0 exacerbated by the industrial action. ~ ., ., ,, action. do we know what it was like action. do we know what it was like a we a . o action. do we know what it was like a we ago when _ action. do we know what it was like a we ago when people _ action. do we know what it was like a we ago when people are - action. do we know what it was like a we ago when people are heading | action. do we know what it was like i a we ago when people are heading out there? hat a we ago when people are heading out there? ., ., , a we ago when people are heading out there? ., .,, , _ .,, ., there? not as busy as that. definitely — there? not as busy as that. definitely not _ there? not as busy as that. definitely not a _ there? not as busy as that. definitely not a six - there? not as busy as that. definitely not a six hour- there? not as busy as that. l definitely not a six hour wait. nearly two weeks after the earthquakesin turkey and syria, the body of the ghanaian footballer christian atsu has been found in the rubble of his home in turkey.

he was such a huge figure in this country. he was such a huge figure in this country. a consortium led by the head of one of 0atar�*s biggest banks has submitted a bid to buy manchester united. 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. 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. the un secretary general, antonio guterres, has told a summit of african leaders he's deeply concerned about a rise of violence across the continent. speaking at the start of the annual african union gathering mr guterres also announced an increase in cash to combat famine as well as addressing and funding emergencies. around the world today 359 million people are in need of aid. in an increase of more than 25% since last year. and so today here i am

announcing the largest ever relocation from our central emergency response plan to $150 million. to combat famine and to address and fund emergencies. i'm talking about 18 countries in the world, of which 12 are in the african continent. these resources will support some of the most vulnerable people in some of the most forgotten crises around the world, including those at risk of famine in africa. the bbc�*s kalkidan yibeltal is attending the summit in the ethiopian capital, addis ababa — he sent us this report. this is an annual gathering of african leaders in which generally issues of the past 12 months are discussed and agendas for the year ahead are set. it's being held here in addis ababa for the first time since a peace

deal was signed between the federal government and forces from the northern region of tigray in november last year to end one of the continent's deadliest conflicts. hundreds of thousands of people are believed to have been killed and millions are left dependent on aid. but since the peace accord, humanitarian access has increased, and most importantly, active fighting has stopped. the african union that brokered the peace deal sees these progresses as important achievements, but it still has to ensure that they are sustainable. and it also has to address other security problems in different parts of africa, most notably the democratic republic of congo and the sahel region in west africa. towards the east, the horn of africa region is experiencing what the un called the most severe drought in two generations, creating a massive food crisis. as millions face starvation this is yet another pressing issue for the leaders.

during the two—day summit the leaders are expected to make calls for increased trading integration among countries of the continent. kalkidan yibeltal, bbc news, addis ababa. an investigative jounalist from bulgaria says he has been banned from attending the bafta awards in london due to take place tomorrow, over security concerns. christo grozev features heavily in the nominated film navalny, a documentary about the poisoning of the russian opposition leader alexei navalny. bafta said in a statement, "the safety of all our guests and staff at the ceremony is always our highest priority, and we have robust and appropriate security arrangements in place every year." we spoke to christo grozev earlier who told us how he felt afterfinding out he'd been uninvited from the ceremony. it's an odd feeling of being disinvited from an event where i had tickets also for my son and finding

out we cannot attend. i do understand in an abstract way why this is done. it's a security concern for the rest of the guess, i understand that is the bafta decision based on the advice of police. i also like it should not be a simple decision. i also like it should not be a simple decision. they have to take on to the other side of the equation which is a message something like this, and exclusion like this sends to investigative journalists around the world also sends two dictators who are quite happy with the outcome. now, there'll be plenty of detectorists out searching this weekend — it's become an increasingly popular hobby. what, though, should happen to the objects they unearth? the uk government wants to widen the legal definition of "treasure" — finds which have to be declared — so that, when important historical artefacts are found, they end up in public, rather than private, collections. this report from tim muffett.

treasure. as things stand, an artefact is classed as treasure if it's more than 300 years old and made in part from a precious metal such as gold or silver. 0r made in part from a precious metal such as gold or silver. or if it's more than 300 years old and one of a number of items bound together or a horde as it's known. treasure is offered to museums first to see if they want to buy it. it's a way of keeping nationally important items on public display. the keeping nationally important items on public display-— on public display. the treasure act rotects on public display. the treasure act protects our _ on public display. the treasure act protects our heritage, _ on public display. the treasure act protects our heritage, enables - on public display. the treasure act l protects our heritage, enables fines we make and feels like this to go into national museums so everybody can share them. it is into national museums so everybody can share them.— can share them. it is not treasure it can be sold _ can share them. it is not treasure it can be sold straight _ can share them. it is not treasure it can be sold straight to - can share them. it is not treasure it can be sold straight to a - can share them. it is not treasurej it can be sold straight to a private collector. that's what happened to this roman helmet found in cumbria. made of copper which is not a precious metal, it wasn't deemed treasure and was sold for more than £2 million to a private collector. chelmsford museum nearly missed out on this rare roman figurine because it's made of a copper alloy and not
