anniversary of russia's illegal invasion on friday. with unprecedented security in the capital, the americans had warned the kremlin thatjoe biden was coming. a point was being made. ukraine was still under attack but its most powerful ally was there to show its leader and people his support. the symbolism of the visit might be strong, but a few hundred miles away on ukraine's eastern front it is more weaponry than matters. president zelensky has declared a coming year of victory but to achieve that they will need more rockets and tax as well as the fighter jets currently being held back. awareness no longer hampers them, both sides are planning to mount renewed spring offensives. ukraine wants to win, notjust hold steady in a long war of attrition. nevertheless, no—one is any doubt that it's a task facing this country. to hold on

was done in secrecy. we expected biden to be in poland but all along it turns out he was planning to begin kyiv kyiv, an incredible, incredibly fraught moment, as a correspondence that there were sirens during a visit but very, very uplifting for ukrainians. i cannot begin to tell you the emotions that the ukrainians were feeling as they were seeing the two presidents strolling around central kyiv. i was going to ask that next. talk us through the morale boost at this time as we get to the one—year anniversary on friday. the one-year anniversary on frida . , , ., , the one-year anniversary on frida. , , friday. yes. this was something that we had _ friday. yes. this was something that we had been _ friday. yes. this was something that we had been waiting - friday. yes. this was something that we had been waiting for - that we had been waiting for and this is a way forjoe biden to stick it to vladimir putin who has been making fake trips to the war zone. by all accounts, putin has never made it ukraine and as some of the warmongers in russia on telegram channels are joking,

the american president made it to kyiv before the russian wondered. it is a reference to vladimir putin's goal to invade kyiv within three days, so a very important signal and reassuring signal, notjust reassuring signal, not just ukrainians reassuring signal, notjust ukrainians but american and western allies that america is here to stay to see this through. this is a victory not just for ukraine but we are hoping this will be a victory for the entire democratic world. this could not come a day sooner, especially as it did on the ninth anniversary, the heavenly hundred, the heroes of the heavenly hundred which were defending ukrainians', european street in 2014 and 2015 and the approaching one—year anniversary. today vladimir putin is excited to give a speech semi wondering if he has been rewriting it.—

brain, in consequence the disruption of a blood vessel or sometimes the interruption of a blood vessel that doesn't bring oxygen to the brain, but what happens in reality is that damage destroys the connections between our brain and our spinal—cord, which is where the sequence that control movement are located. so what we thought, what if there was a technology that will allow us to amplify those signals that trickle down the legion that are surviving, and restore the capability of these people to move again? so what we did was we did a lot of research and found there are specific spots inside the spinal—cord that is located in the neck of the people to restore our movement would allow this sense inside the spinal—cord to listen again to these weakened signals after the stroke and enable people to move. 0ne the stroke and enable people to move. one thing to say is we actually utilise technology thatis actually utilise technology that is clinically approved already for other use. for

example, spinal column, so the technology exists. it is just that we need to approve this new application of this and the new application of this and the new location of the implant. despite these little things, we still need to go through all the steps that the fda requires to declare these technology safe and effective so we need to expand our study to more people, and we have collected $8 million in funding from the national institute to do the next step in the next three years. we are going to expand to 20 people in a more carefully controlled study, and after that if they are successful, we will move to a neck study of 200 people, which will fare in early —— finally determined the figures and the safety of this technology and that will probably take between five and seven years. time for an update on all the latest sports news. hello, there.

not as windy as monday morning, but a noticeable breeze, and the cloud always thick enough for a spot or two of drizzle. now, on the whole, greyer skies, more cloud around, but where we do get some breaks, temperatures will tend to respond. 13, 14 degrees not out of the question. a change to come, though, as we move out of tuesday into wednesday. there's a cold front sinking its way steadily south. not bringing that much in the way of rain, but certainly introducing a change of wind direction. coming round from the northwest, a cooler, fresher source. so, to begin with on wednesday, we'll have some light showery rain sinking its way into east anglia and the south east of england, brightening up considerably behind with a few scattered showers being driven along by those north—west winds. and some of them to higher ground in scotland, turning increasingly wintry. a notably fresher feel to the day, seven to 11 degrees, the overall high. now, through wednesday into the early hours of thursday morning, we mightjust have to keep a close eye on the chance, perhaps, of a few wintry showers running down through the north sea here under clearer skies and lower temperatures. so, it's going to be a chilly

start to thursday morning. a touch of light frost in the far north not out of the question, but high pressure always sitting out to the west. so, the wind direction coming round from a north—westerly, not too cold, but certainly fresher than it has been in recent days. so, there will be a little bit more in the way of sunshine around on thursday. thicker cloud and outbreaks of showery rain into the far north, but in the sunnier moments shouldn't feel too bad. top temperatures of around eight or nine degrees, down to where we should be really for the time of year. it looks likely that we will continue to see a good deal of dry but fresher weather for many as we head towards the weekend.
