anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine, and western leaders have appealed for countries around the world to unite in providing long—term military support to kyiv. from munich, here's our diplomatic correspondent james landale. this is a conference like few others — a chance for western allies, yes, to put on a show of unity, but also a chance to reaffirm their support for ukraine and demonstrate their resolve to stay the course. so today the prime minister urged allies to double down on their support for ukraine, and called for a new nato charter to ensure its long—term security, but he also said this... what is at stake in this war is even greater than the security and sovereignty of one nation. it's about the security and sovereignty of every nation. because russia's invasion, its abhorrent war crimes and irresponsible nuclear rhetoric,

are symptomatic of a broader threat to everything we believe in. that argument was echoed by america's vice president who said no country would be safe if russia could violate territorial integrity. and as for the torture and rape she said its forces had committed... we know the legal standards and there is no doubt these are crimes against humanity. in other words, this is about more than ukraine, an argument yet to be accepted by some of the african countries who say it is damaging their economies and they want peace fast. we suffer disruption of the supply chains, increasing prices, recession of the economy,

and this money by russia in the west that is used to buy weapons to enable russia and ukraine to kill one another, it would be better utilised to promote development. it is opinions like that that is concentrating minds here, with western policymakers realising that even after almost a year of war they have still yet to convince some countries that it is right to arm nearly two weeks after the earthquakes, the body of the ghanaian footballer christian atsu has been found in the rubble of his home in turkey. this afternoon, his former clubs chelsea and everton paid tribute with a minute's applause. the 31—year—old was currently playing for turkish club hatayspor. here's our correspondent thomas naadi in accra reporting on the reaction in ghana. a very sad day in ghana. expectations were very high when people started finding people alive but this has broken a lot of hearts in the country. the president has said that ghana has lost one of its finest. the ghana football association has also reacted to the news. it expressed condolences to

the family, loved ones, and football fans. 0ne the family, loved ones, and football fans. one minute silence. a lot of people are struggling to come to terms with this latest development because he was such a huge figure in this country. rishi sunak sent the sovereignty and security of every nation was at stake. at what he called the global war. next week marks the first anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. western leaders have appeal for countries around the world to unite in providing support.

0ur political correspondent ben wright reports. after a dash to belfast on friday, today, a meeting in munich. while this summit in germany is focused on ukraine, rishi sunak and eu leaders seem to be edging closer to a deal on an issue which has soured relations for ages — the rules governing trade between great britain and northern ireland. we're working through them hard and intensely with the eu but we are by no means done and there is no deal that is done. there's work to do and that is what 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 trade no country would be safe if russia could violate integrity. as for the torture and rape she said the forces have committed, we torture and rape she said the forces have committed,— torture and rape she said the forces have committed, we know the legal standards. and _

have committed, we know the legal standards. and there _ have committed, we know the legal standards. and there is _ have committed, we know the legal standards. and there is no - have committed, we know the legal standards. and there is no doubt i standards. and there is no doubt these are crimes against humanity. in other words, this war is about more thanjust ukraine, an in other words, this war is about more than just ukraine, an argument yet to be accepted by some media and africa and asia who say it is damaging. they want peace fast. the damaging. they want peace fast. tie: disruption damaging. they want peace fast. tue: disruption of the damaging. they want peace fast. tue disruption of the supply chains, increasing prices, recession of the economy. this is used to buy weapons to enable russia and ukraine to kill one another. this would be better utilised to promote development. tt utilised to promote development. it is opinions like that that is concentrating mind here with western policymakers realising that even after almost a year of war they have still yet to convince some countries of its right arm defend ukraine.

there's a diplomatic battle two and the west is realising it has work to do. there isn't unity across so as we head towards the first anniversary of the war, what is the approach amongst world leaders and those leading the effort to support ukraine's leading the effort to support ukraine' ~ ., , ukraine's well i think at this conference _ ukraine's well i think at this conference here _ ukraine's well i think at this conference here in - ukraine's well i think at this conference here in munich l ukraine's well i think at this - conference here in munich most of the attendees, the participants are western. they are transatlantic. they are from the united states. there's a massive delegation here of congressional leaders as well as the vice president. also, a lot of european leaders. so it is largely a gathering of those countries that are supporting ukraine, that are part of that alliance together. but there are obviously one or two other countries hear from what is called,

africa, asia, latin america. some have a very different perspective. and we've heard some of those perspective if you're at the conference, essentially saying look this war is damaging our economy, can you stop it quickly? the west response to that is, well no because this is about more than just ukraine. this is notjust a european regional matter. this matters to all of those other countries because if russia is not stopped, is russia is seen to wind then that would encourage authoritarians around the world. it would weaken the idea of integrity which matters to all countries and it would weaken the international order which is something that the west argues has benefited everybody in terms of the security and prosperity is given. that's the west argument. what i think we are seeing here is the west realising that it hasn't achieved, and rising succeeded in landing that argument with many countries around the world who are just impatient and want this war over because of the damage that's been done. so i think

were now going to see in coming weeks and months the west remaking their case around the world. they are effectively playing catch up. russian diplomats had been going around the world, making their own case i think the west is playing catch up here. case i think the west is playing catch up here-— case i think the west is playing catch up here. case i think the west is playing catch u- here. ~ ., ., .,~ ., catch up here. what do you make of france's president _ catch up here. what do you make of france's president making - catch up here. what do you make of france's president making these - france's president making these comments saying russia should not be crossed, although it should be defeated and ukraine's there's been some criticism but he's been giving missed messages. this some criticism but he's been giving missed messages.— some criticism but he's been giving missed messages. this is the classic french position. _ missed messages. this is the classic french position. they _ missed messages. this is the classic french position. they support - french position. they support ukraine, they are given lots of weapons ukraine, they say now is not the time for dialogue with russia. but essentially it's this —— he argues that russia is geographically part of europe. at some point in the future when there's conflict reaches a settlement europe is going to have to have some kind of relationship with russia. therefore, europe needs to start thinking about it. nato

needs to start thinking about it. in a way that it did not think about it at the end of the cold war. 0r it's element is that after the cold war the rest sort of rolled its size and sort of left russia to it. didn't get in there fast to establish a new security framework and that's one of the reasons why the russian narrative is always about russia's imperiled, nato was threatening it. so that is argument delivered by the french president. it is not one that resonates with lots of other european leaders. they find it slightly annoying. they don't think that it slightly annoying. they don't think thatitis slightly annoying. they don't think that it is helpful right now. they think all the focus should be on maintaining the alliance in support of ukraine, talk thinking about russia in the future. that is for the future. russia in the future. that is for the future-— russia in the future. that is for the future. �* ., ~ ., the future. away from ukraine there is other issues _ the future. away from ukraine there is other issues being _ the future. away from ukraine there is other issues being discussed - is other issues being discussed there. meeting on the sidelines taking place between secretary of state antony blinken and his chinese

counterpart and this comes after the past few weeks of these accusation of spy balloons being flown across the united states well at least one anyway that the us authorities know about or say they know about. what do we know about that meeting and how significant is it?— how significant is it? well, they are the two _ how significant is it? well, they are the two most _ how significant is it? well, they are the two most senior - how significant is it? well, they - are the two most senior diplomats, if you like for both china and the united states. so i think it was important for both of them to have this meeting just to try and calm some of the tensions that have being surrounding this incident in recent days. the chinese foreign minister was pretty inflammatory about it when he arrived, saying that america had behaved in a way that was absurd, shooting down these balloons. i think both sides were restating their position. i think both sides will want that particular attention to be dialled down because the sense i got from both sides as this is not necessarily a fight they want to have will stop there are

bigger issues to worry about. certainly, i think they are looking for some kind of clarity on that. whether this will end the matter i think remains to be seen.- whether this will end the matter i think remains to be seen. thank you for the update _ think remains to be seen. thank you for the update james. _ south africa's state—owned power firm has cut off electricity supplies untilfive in the morning local time as the energy crisis escalates. eskom says shorter blackouts will then be brought in until further notice. south africa's president cyril ramaphosa declared a state of disaster last week. erratic power supplies have hit the economy which is expected to grow byjust i% this year. eskom is plagued by corruption and mismanagement, and has an ageing network of poorly—maintained coal—fired power stations. the former us president, jimmy carter, has decided to receive hospice care after a series of short hospital the carter centre said the 98—year—old will spend his remaining time at home with his family instead of additional medical intervention.

carter, a democrat, was president of the united states from 1977 to 1981. in recent years, he has suffered from several health issues including a melanoma that spread to his liver and brain. turning to iran now, and a woman who threw her headscarf away on stage at a public meeting is reported to be facing prosecution. this video circulated widely online shows the woman throwing her headscarf to the ground during a meeting of the engineering association in tehran. initial reports say she was disqualified from standing as a candidate for election to the local branch because she was not wearing her headscarf. the current wave of anti—government protests in iran was triggered in september by the death of a young woman who'd been detained for allegedly not wearing her hijab correctly. protests have surged again in the past few days. this was the scene on friday in zahedan, the capital of the southeastern sistan—baluchistan province. demonstrations were also reported

in tehran and other major cities. celtic stay nine points ahead of rangers who also won today. meanwhile in germany, opponents of the iranian regime have been holding rallies on the sidelines of the munich security conference. and meeting there in munich, a group of exiled iranians said they will increase support for opposition movements in their country. the group includes reza pahlavi, the exiled son of iran's last shah, who was overthrown in the islamic revolution of 1979. some pressure does weaken the system but this is not enough to do the job. if we are trying to persuade the world that if you come to the support of the uranian people and parliaments, if you can give them more means they can better organise themselves, communicate, have financial support or what have you. that is what is going to ultimately cause the regimes demise. the only acceleration is how quickly this can be done. the south korean foreign minister says the international focus on ukraine has emboldened north korea to expand

its missile test programme. parkjin was speaking after pyongyang fired a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile into the sea of japan , its first such launch for seven weeks, which was widely condemned. mr park said north korea's leader, kimjong—un, was clearly signalling his intent to carry out additional provocations. 0n the sidelines of the munich security conference, the uk prime minister rishi sunak and president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, held talks over brexit. they said 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. arguments over the protocol, negotiated after the uk voted to leave the european union, have led to political deadlock in stormont. 0ur political correspondent, ben wright reports.

we are by no means done. there is no deal that is done. there is work to do and that is what we will set about doing. do and that is what we will set about doing-— do and that is what we will set about doinu. ., ., about doing. the northern ireland protocol is a _ about doing. the northern ireland protocol is a product _ about doing. the northern ireland protocol is a product of— about doing. the northern ireland protocol is a product of brexit, . about doing. the northern ireland| protocol is a product of brexit, the decision approved by the uk and the eu to effectively put a trade border down the irish sea. it means good can travel freely between northern island and the republic. but many unionist politicians hate the way to constructed trade treats northern ireland differently from the rest of the uk. after richie sue next talk today with the head of the european commission, downing street said there had been very good progress to find solutions. so what might those be? big saw for the uk has been the european court ofjustice for settling disputes. compromise on

that will be taught. more straightforward, a so—called green lane for northern ireland and a bread line with more chucks of goods heading south. that should mean wider regulation for firms trading within the uk. politically this is a very tricky needle for the primed minister to thread. first he wants to deal with the concerns of politicians in belfast and persuade them back into government at stormont. a second he needs to think about his own tory mps here. will it be sellable to the brexit purists with much of the current protocol ripped up? labour has said it would support the new deal but rishi sunak might be very wary of trying to get a new plan for parliament on the back of labour folks. third, a new plan for parliament on the back of labourfolks. third, of course, he need to eu to agree that it is time to do a deal.— it is time to do a deal. there is a willingness _ it is time to do a deal. there is a willingness and both _ it is time to do a deal. there is a willingness and both sides - it is time to do a deal. there is a | willingness and both sides to find compromise, to find a way out. i think it's important. it's important for the eu but i also think it's important to the united kingdom. there has been a sheer clifton tone

as both sides look to finalise a deal that could mark a reset in uk slash eu relations since brexit. but for richie sunak there are still big political hurdles to clear. 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. so today, here, i am announcing the largest ever allocation from our united nations emergency response fund, $250 million. to combat famine

and to address and fund emergencies. i am 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 and 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.

later. 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 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 northwest 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.
