6:03 pm
of conquest was failing. our first report tonight comes from our international editor, jeremy bowen, on a historic day, in this year long war. the air—raid alarm as the two presidents arrived at st michael's church where ukraine commemorates the war dead felt more than a coincidence. with unprecedented security, in kyiv, the americans had warned the kremlin thatjoe biden was coming. he had just arrived from a long train journey he had just arrived from a long trainjourney and a point he had just arrived from a long train journey and a point was being made. ukraine was still under attack, its most powerful ally was there, in an active war zone, to show its leader support. president biden told the people running ukraine's war that this is where he wanted to be, in the days leading up to the first anniversary of russia's attempt to extinguish ukraine's

independence. president zelensky knows ukraine's future depends on america, and joe biden. translation: we america, and joe biden. translation:— america, and joe biden. translation: ~ ., , y translation: we can and must make this ear translation: we can and must make this year 2023. — translation: we can and must make this year 2023, the _ translation: we can and must make this year 2023, the year _ translation: we can and must make this year 2023, the year of _ translation: we can and must make this year 2023, the year of victory - this year 2023, the year of victory and i want to emphasise that the unprovoked and criminal russian war against ukraine, the whole of europe and the democratic world must end with a clearing of all ukrainian land from russian occupation, and firm guarantees of long—term security for our country and the whole of europe, and the whole world. putin's war conquest is failing. russia's military has lost half its territory it once occupied. young, talented russians are fleeing, by the tens of thousands, not wanting to come back to russia. he thought he could outlast us. i don't think he could outlast us. i don't think he is thinking that right now. strong support by the ukrainians
6:05 pm
want more than words, they want war winning weapons. the hard reality of russian aggression has forced nato leaders and especially president biden, into a series of difficult decisions, the biggest so far may be looming, ukraine doesn'tjust want weapons that will allow it to survive, it wants to win the war and “p survive, it wants to win the war and up to now that is a level of help that president biden has not been prepared to grant. the ukrainians are pressing for a decisive upgrade as soon as possible. time might not be theirfriend. the as soon as possible. time might not be their friend.— be their friend. the cost that ukraine has _ be their friend. the cost that ukraine has had _ be their friend. the cost that ukraine has had to _ be their friend. the cost that ukraine has had to bear - be their friend. the cost that ukraine has had to bear has| be their friend. the cost that - ukraine has had to bear has been extraordinarily high. the sacrifices have been far too great, they have been far too great. ukraine doesn't release casualty figures, not as high as russia's... but still in the tens of thousands.
6:06 pm
the russians are bleeding another generation of ukrainian fighters. that is a big reason why president zelensky wants urgently to convince joe biden to help ukraine win, not just hold steady in a long war of attrition. the war commemorates the dead of the earlier fighting with russia, that started in 2014. each flag represents a life lost in the last 12 months. the kremlin believes it will win a trial of endurance, ukraine don't want to wait to find out. jeremy bowen, bbc news, kyiv. jeremy bowen, bbc news, kyiv. as the first anniversary of russia's invasion approaches this friday, fierce fighting is continuing in the east of the country. russian forces are stepping up their assault on the city
6:07 pm
of bakhmut, which they've been trying to capture for more than six months. vladimir putin appears to be pushing for a victory before this week's anniversary. this map shows the latest russian positions in red, and their troops advance towards bakhmut. president zelensky says the defence of the city would continue, but not at any price. our senior international correspondent, orla guerin, has sent us this report from the outskirts of bakhmut. gunfire. battlings raging on outskirt of bakhmut. ukraine yap troops still defending every inch. still fighting for every street. but the enemy is closing in. near enough now for hand grenades.
6:08 pm
and for many casualties. he is asked if he can feel his left leg. it is ok, he replies. then, a desperate struggle to drag him away from the front line. help us, he says. ukraine may have to give up the fight in bakhmut, to save lives and resources for battles elsewhere. but for now, the defence of the city continues. wejoined this mortar team on outskirts. keeping the enemy at bay on their section of the front line. the troops are waiting now, for
6:09 pm
co—ordinates for their second strike. the target is russian forces in their trenches, about two kilometres away. day after day, and night after night, ukrainian forces here are battling to hold bakhmut. below ground, their commander directs the strike, with help from a drone. but smart weapons don't change the fact that they are outnumbered. how much longer can they stand their ground? maybe long enough to deny president putin a victory on friday's anniversary. here, you get a glimpse of what all this is costing ukraine. the wounded keep coming from bakhmut and other front lines. they could be targeted even
6:10 pm

6:13 pm
her body was found by dog walkers about a mile away from where she was last seen. herfamily was her family was scathing about the way some in the media and some must bes of public have behaved. must bes of public have behaved. judith moritz has been following the story and hasjust this report. the lancashire landscape has held on to its secret for the last three weeks. the river wyre snaking its way through the fields here, held the answer all along. what happened to nicola bulley? now, we know. sadly, we are now able to confirm that yesterday we recovered nicola bulley from the river wyre. nicola's family have been informed, and are of course devastated. our thoughts are with them at this time, as well as with all her loved ones and the wider community. we as with all her loved ones and the wider community.— as with all her loved ones and the wider community. we will never be able to comprehend _ wider community. we will never be able to comprehend what - wider community. we will never be able to comprehend what nikki - wider community. we will never be able to comprehend what nikki had

6:15 pm
and a relatively large physical body in a water column would not move anywhere near as fast as the current. lancashire police said all along they believed nicola had fallen into the water, but the force has been criticised for its response, and especially for its decision to release personal details about the mother of two. when the cameras have left this village, and the posters and ribbons have been taken down, the police and the media will have some soul searching to do. including whether the relationship between them had any influence on the way the case itself was handled. bob eastwood was a chief superintendent with lancashire police. now retired from the force, he thinks it has been unfairly criticised, he sees this case as a game—changer. can you separate out the way the communications were dealt with and the investigation? i think there became a big beast that was hungry for information. people were going out
6:16 pm
for their own information. people were making things up. experts were adding to it, and quite clearly in my view, they were making it up based on no evidence whatsoever. the yellow ribbons still fluttering were supposed to signify hope. tonight, that has run out. now, nicola bulley�*s family know she is not coming back. the mystery of her disappearance ending with the saddest of answers. judith moritz, bbc news, lancashire. nicola bulley�*s disappearance sparked huge interest, particularly on social media, where amateur detectives took to sites like tiktok to try to solve the mystery themselves. our disinformation correspondent, marianna spring, explains why this case in particular has fascinated millions. so why did tiktok sleuths descend on the village where nicola bulley disappeared? my social media feeds have been awash with videos speculating about nicola bulley�*s disappearance, not only clips of people visiting the scene, but sinister conspiracy
6:17 pm
theories denying the reality of what's happened. one detective at lancashire police said she'd not seen anything like it in 29 years — a tiktoker was even arrested and fined after he live streamed himself at a house opposite where nicola went missing. there's also been a huge amount of media interest in the case. but the frenzy on social media — and tiktok in particular — seems to be sucking in a huge number of people. as of friday 17th february, tiktok videos discussing nicola bulley�*s case and using her name as a hashtag had accumulated over 270 million views. in comparison, posts and videos using these same phrases on other major social media sites have had less traction, when analysing a combination of engagement, mentions and views. caroline, who lives in a town nearby and had been sharing videos about this on tiktok, told me she's seen hundreds of videos pushing false suggestions.
6:18 pm
in messages to me, she said... this has had a huge impact on those in the local community who've been targeted. i spoke to oliver, whose family owns the caravan park close to where nicola was last seen. filming the house, taking pictures, printing _ filming the house, taking pictures, printing our— filming the house, taking pictures, printing our address, filming the house, taking pictures, printing ouraddress, naming filming the house, taking pictures, printing our address, naming us all online, _ printing our address, naming us all online, my— printing our address, naming us all online, my 70 minute —— my grandmother at times be frightened to leave _ grandmother at times be frightened to leave the house. we are real people — to leave the house. we are real people in— to leave the house. we are real people in this community and of course _ people in this community and of course the — people in this community and of course the worst of the abuse and torment— course the worst of the abuse and torment has been aimed at nicola bulley's _ torment has been aimed at nicola bulley's family. tiktok said its thoughts "are with ms bulley�*s family and friends at this difficult time".
6:19 pm
it says it "does not tolerate bullying or harassment on tiktok and we remove content that violates our policies". and this isn'tjust about social media. a significant number of people well—versed in this conspiracy lexicon presented with a complex disappearance at a time when trust in institutions and the police is low is the perfect storm. and nicola's family have directly criticised parts of the media. questions now loom over how the police investigation has been hampered by this social media frenzy and how forces over the country will deal with this next time it happens. the time is 6.19. our top story this evening: us presidentjoe biden visits ukraine ahead of the one—year anniversary of russia's invasion. and coming up — kate forbes and humza yousafjoin ash regan in a bid to be the next snp leader and first minister. and on bbc london: why hundreds of thousands of people living in london's commuter belt won't be eligible for the ulez scrappage scheme. and plans to put recycled sewage into the thames kick up a stink.

coming into the thames kick up a stink. up in sports ellie 1 tells coming up in sports ellie baker tells us about her goals after the inter championships in birmingham. found there was a "catastrophic failure" and "seriously unsafe culture" at devon and cornwall police — in their unit that licences firearms. 22—year—old jake davison shot the victims, including his own mother and a three—year—old girl, with a gun he legally owned. the jury at the inquest said he shouldn't have been granted a gun licence because of a lack of medical information and his violent history. our south west england correspondent jenny kumah reports. this is the momentjake davison left home, armed with a shotgun. he had just killed his own mother — 51—year—old maxine davison. he then murdered four others at random. a short walk from his house, three—year—old sophie martyn was pushing a buggy with a teddy in it and holding her father lee's hand.
6:21 pm
at a nearby park, 59—year—old stephen washington was walking his dogs. and 66—year—old kate shepherd was returning home from shopping. the gunman then turned his legally—owned weapon on himself. speaking after the inquest, the victims�* families said their deaths were preventable. "we will never be able to understand or comprehend why davison did what he did. it was an act of pure evil. the system has hopelessly failed us. in particular, the devon and cornwall police force has failed us. they have failed to protect our loved ones. warning signs were ignored and a licence to kill was granted." those warning signs were davison�*s violent past and evidence of his emotional and behavioural problems. the inquest heard that the firearms
6:22 pm
licensing unit had an unsafe culture and that staff were inadequately trained. the victims�* families say it is unbelievable that police gave davison his gun back after he carried out this assault on two teenagers in 2020. he told the police he "snapped" after someone insulted him. the police confiscated this gun after those assaults, then gave it back to him just weeks before the fatal shootings. on behalf of devon and cornwall police, i am deeply sorry for the loss of those families and for the failings in my force that led to jake davison having a gun when he shouldn't have. myjob now is to make sure that the findings of the inquest and those improvements we put into place are properly and sustainably embedded within that unit to make sure that nothing like this can hopefully happen again. davison�*s actions left a community in shock and pain. the families who have lost loved ones finally have some answers about why he legally owned a weapon.
6:23 pm
they now want to see more changes in gun licensing to help stop further deaths. jenny kumah, bbc news. nhs strikes will intensify next month afterjunior doctors in england voted overwhelmingly to take action over pay. the health secretary, steve barclay, says the decision is deeply disappointing. our health editor hugh pym joins me now. so this is next month on top of nurses, ambulance workers, is going to have a huge impact. shill nurses, ambulance workers, is going to have a huge impact.— to have a huge impact. all of that added u- to have a huge impact. all of that added up does — to have a huge impact. all of that added up does look _ to have a huge impact. all of that added up does look that - to have a huge impact. all of that added up does look that way. - to have a huge impact. all of that i added up does look that way. junior doctors is a term which covers quite a range of different skills from the newly qualified doctor right up to ten years later, someone who was about to become a consultant. they are saying that now they have this mandate, that they will walk out for three days, walking out both of emergency care and nonurgent. so thatis emergency care and nonurgent. so that is really quite an escalation in the scale of action we�*ve seen so
6:24 pm
far. they have an overwhelming majority, they say, 98% in the ballot in england with nearly 40,000 doctors actually sent their ballot forms. so that comes on top of the royal college of nursing, who have already said that in early march, the first, second and third, they will stage 48—hour strikes, again, cutting out back on the level of urgent and emergency care that they have been covering up until now. ambulance staff are planning more strikes, we have yet to hear from unison what they are going to do in march but it certainly will involve more strike days. the government line is that they hugely value the work ofjunior doctors, they say, but they are deeply disappointed with this action but there is no sign of any talks taking place. scotland�*s finance secretary, kate forbes, has become the third person to confirm they�*re entering the race to succeed nicola sturgeon as scotland�*s first minister and leader of the snp. kate forbes is cutting short her maternity leave to vie with scottish health secretary humza yousaf and former minister ash regan.
