this is bbc news. i'm sally bundock, with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. defiance at the duma — vladimir putin defends his invasion of ukraine, saying his nation is at stake. a very different message in poland — president biden says moscow's lust for power and land would fail. the former isis bride shamima begum is to find out if she's won her appeal against being stripped of her british citizenship. and — nearly 60 years after his death, the family of malcolm x say they're going to sue the cia and fbi.

hello and welcome. days before the anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine, presidents putin and biden have both given defiant speeches. vladimir putin, in his state of the nation address, defended his full—scale invasion, blaming the west for provoking the war. he also announced he's suspending russian participation in the major nuclear arms control agreement with the us. here's our russia editor, steve rosenberg. the world according to vladimir putin feels like a parallel universe. who started the war in ukraine? "not russia," he says. translation: responsibility for fuelling the ukrainian - conflict, for its escalation,

and for the growing number of victims lies fully with the west and, of course, with the regime in kyiv. i wish to repeat, they started the war, we are using force to stop it. but it was russia that invaded ukraine. western military aid has helped kyiv resist. it hasn't forced the kremlin, though, to de—escalate. today, president putin suspended russia's participation in the last—remaining nuclear arms control treaty with america — an agreement that limits nuclear arsenals and provides for missile inspections. no longer topical, says the kremlin. translation: we know that the west _ has directly helped kyiv to launch strikes on airbases where our strategic nuclear bombers are located. now they want to carry out inspections

of our military sites. in light of today's confrontation, that is absurd. applause support here, but unpicking that treaty risks a nuclear arms race. in order to avoid nuclear war, it's better to have a framework, but losing this framework, we are witnessing the real threat of a nuclear war. washington says the kremlin�*s decision to halt participation in the nuclear treaty is deeply unfortunate and irresponsible. the bbc wasn't allowed to attend the kremlin leader's big speech. journalists from what russia calls "unfriendly countries" were not sent an invitation. but after watching president putin on tv, this is what struck me most about him. his "special military operation" has not gone at all according to plan, but regret, there was no hint of that, and no sign at all that putin is looking

foran off ramp. instead of compromise, he favours confrontation. applause and this audience loved it. mind you, the president here was preaching to the converted. all main russian tv channels carried the speech live. from these images alone, you'd never know things had gone badly wrong for russia on the battlefield. translation: russia will respond _ to any challenge we face, because we are one country, one people. we believe in ourselves, in our strength. truth is on our side. after one year of war, the kremlin is still managing to persuade most russians to believe that. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. nina khrushcheva is professor of international studies

at the new school and great—granddaughter of former soviet premier nikita khrushchev. she joins us from new york. nina, lovely to speak to you again. nina, lovely to speak to you aaain. nina, lovely to speak to you again. hi. give us your take on again. h v give us your take on president putin's again. h . give us your take on president putin's speech. again. hi. give us your take on| president putin's speech. well, it was certainly _ president putin's speech. well, it was certainly a _ president putin's speech. well, it was certainly a defiant - it was certainly a defiant speech. it was certainly a speech. it was certainly a speech that reminded me of the old putin, when he wants to drive his point across — you could see his jaw was very firm and he was very animated speaking, although he spoke a lot looking at the teleprompter. still, it was certainly something he enjoyed. he was not a bored performer, which he had been for some time when he spoke before the nation. the defiance was certainly there, the conviction that he's going to fight in ukraine no matter what, and

he's not going to blink — that was his message to the west. he is not blinking.— is not blinking. yeah. and consequently, _ is not blinking. yeah. and consequently, the - is not blinking. yeah. and i consequently, the conclusion is not blinking. yeah. and - consequently, the conclusion is being drawn that this could be a very long, drawn—out war. without understanding how it will come to an end. your thoughts on, you know, the psyche in russia? we heard from our russia editor steve rosenberg there that, you know, the audience and the message is very managed across the country. very managed across the country-— very managed across the count . , ., , country. the message was very mana . ed country. the message was very managed across _ country. the message was very managed across the _ country. the message was very managed across the country, . country. the message was very l managed across the country, and in fact, i saw a lot of footage where people were shown watching it on the subway and they were shown watching it in they were shown watching it in the street and they were shown watching it at school and in the kitchen and essentially everywhere. i don't exactly agree with steve that the audience loved it, because even the audience in the hall where

putin spoke was not a particularly enthusiastic audience. i mean, they were people in military uniforms and they were kind ofjumping up and down every time he would say something important, especially about the menacing west. but i was closely looking at sergei lavrov, the foreign minister, and it seemed like he was in horrible pain most of the time. and every time, he would just do this — kind of hiding his eyes. so i didn't really see the conviction at all, but basically the necessity because they have to continue on, there is really no — not that there is no room for the opposition in the elite, but it doesn't seem that they know exactly, if there is, how to go about it. and i'm not sure that the people were really eating it up — although that message on the western — it is all the west's fault and we are going to be one people,

it certainly registers, especially in smaller places. not necessarily in very big central cities, but in outskirts away from moscow, thatis outskirts away from moscow, that is the message, because people don't really see much comparison. {iii people don't really see much comparison-— people don't really see much comparison. of course, putin was very _ comparison. of course, putin was very clear _ comparison. of course, putin was very clear on _ comparison. of course, putin was very clear on his - comparison. of course, putin was very clear on his thinking about the west, the enemy and the war against that. in terms of the east, china — russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov is meeting with wang yi today, china's chief diplomat. your thoughts on that?— thoughts on that? that was really quite _ thoughts on that? that was really quite interesting, - really quite interesting, especially in light of the view that the new york times had a piece that china's trying to distance... i don't see that all. in fact, distance... i don't see that all. infact, it distance... i don't see that all. in fact, it was interesting that wang yi was travelling around and being in munich and kind of talking to and telling jose borrell that they are not supplying arms to

russia —. and in the same day, meeting whenjoe biden is in poland meeting with the russians — he met with sergei naroushkin, one of the most important people in the security apparatus and the clandestine services. so it does seem that the china—russia relationship, at least for now, is certainly going strong. and of course, we know that china has offered and already presented its peace plan. and so it does seem, perhaps, that china is looking to become a peacemaker — which, of course, before has never been china's neither strength nor intention. so maybe that could be the case — that's why they are meeting exactly at the time. interesting. nina, thank you. really interesting to get your perspective on the last 24—48 hours. let's continue with that story: the us has rejected president putin's claims as "absurd".

president biden, who was in ukraine's capital kyiv on monday, spoke in poland — and said the west's support for ukraine "will not waiver". our north america editor sarah smith has been travelling with the president, and reports now from warsaw. in front of the blue—and—yellow ukrainian colours, president biden came here to project american might and to pledge to use it to protect ukraine, democracy and freedom. when russia invaded, it wasn't just ukraine being tested, the whole world faced a test for the ages. europe was being tested, america was being tested, nato was being tested, all democracies are being tested and the questions we faced were as simple as they were profound. would we respond or would we look the other way? we know the answer, we did respond, we would be strong, we would be united, and the world would not look the other way.

cheering and applause and ukraine — ukraine will never be a victory for russia. never. cheering this is a direct appeal to nato allies, as well as to the american people, to keep up their commitment to ukraine, even if this conflict could last for years to come. refuting vladimir putin's assertion that the us this war, he spoke directly to the russian people. the united states and the nations of europe do not seek to control or destroy russia. the west was not plotting to attack russia, as putin said today. and millions of russian citizens, who only want to live in peace with their neighbours, are not the enemy. band plays star spangled banner earlier today, mr biden met polish president andrzej duda. this display of solidarity is to

demonstrate america's guarantee of poland's security and its promise to defend every inch of nato territory. but they want more than that. poland backs ukraine's demands for f—i6 fighterjets. the us is not ready to send planes yet, but that could change. and we will keep standing up for these same things, no matter what. with public support for the war slipping in america, the president made a direct appeal to americans' fundamental values and the need to fight for them. freedom. stand with us. we will stand with you. let us move forward with faith and conviction and an abiding commitment to be allies, not of darkness, but of light. not of oppression, but of liberation. not of captivity but, yes, of freedom. may god bless you all, may god protect our troops, and may god bless

the heroes of ukraine. proud that mr putin's expectations of a weak and divided west have been met with a firm, united front against his war, president biden�*s biggest task now is trying to keep his allies as committed as he is, for as long as it takes. sarah smith, bbc news, warsaw. shamima begum, who left britain tojoin the so—called islamic state, is due to find out whether she has won an appeal against the decision to remove her british citizenship. she was 15 when she and two other east london schoolgirls travelled to syria in february 2015. four years later, after she was found alive at a refugee camp, the then—home secretary, sajid javid, removed her british citizenship. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports. this was shamima begum in february 2015, eight years ago,

leaving gatwick airport with two school friends to go and join the islamic state group in syria. a friend who'd already gone there had persuaded them tojoin her. the three of gone there had persuaded them to join her. the three of them travelled through a bus station in turkey and were smuggled across the border by a man who it later turned out was providing information to canadian intelligence. she spent the next four years in islamic state territory, emerging in february 2015 after the caliphate collapsed. but she immediately had her british citizenship removed by sajid javid, who was then the home secretary. she's been in the camps in northern syria ever since. fist camps in northern syria ever since. �* . . . since. at least there will be an end. _ since. at least there will be an end. but _ since. at least there will be an end, but here _ since. at least there will be an end, but here you - since. at least there will be an end, but here you don'tl an end, but here you don't know if there's going to be an end. she will hear today if her challenge of sajid javid's decision is successful. her lawyers have argued that rather than being stripped of her citizenship, she should have beenb treated as a victim of trafficking for sexual purposes because she was married to an aduu because she was married to an adult fighter within weeks of arriving in syria. richard

barrett, who specialised in counter—terrorism at both mi6 counter—terrorism at both m16 and the united nations believes leaving women such as shamima begum in the camps creates more risk, not less, at least if she were there would be procedures, the community would be aware of her. they also might be ways to also ensure that she wasn't still radical, with trying to bring her back into society. there is no such programme available in the camps and this syria. available in the camps and this s ria. ~ ., ., available in the camps and this s ria.~ ., ., available in the camps and this s ria. ~ ., ., ~' available in the camps and this sria.~ ., syria. what do you think you will be doing _ syria. what do you think you will be doing in _ syria. what do you think you will be doing in seven - syria. what do you think you will be doing in seven years'| will be doing in seven years' time from now?— will be doing in seven years' time from now? still be in this cam -. time from now? still be in this camp- really? _ time from now? still be in this camp. really? yeah. - time from now? still be in this camp. really? yeah. you - time from now? still be in this camp. really? yeah. you willl time from now? still be in this l camp. really? yeah. you will be home? no- _ camp. really? yeah. you will be home? no. vettel? _ camp. really? yeah. you will be home? no. vettel? no. - camp. really? yeah. you will be home? no. vettel? no. why- camp. really? yeah. you will be i home? no. vettel? no. why not? because isis _ home? no. vettel? no. why not? because isis was _ home? no. vettel? no. why not? because isis was the _ home? no. vettel? no. why not? because isis was the worst - because isis was the worst thing of the 21st century and i was a part of it and now i have to face the consequences of my actions and this camp is the consequences of my actions. in

sharmahd's death sentence absolutely unacceptable and promised a strong reaction, but for now he and his family must wait and hope for a better outcome. it is 58 years since the civil rights campaigner — malcolm x — was shot dead in the city of new york. now his daughter is suing the police, the fbi and the cia saying they covered up evidence regarding his death. the family are seeking $100 million in damages. the bbc�*s tim allman reports. he was an iconic figure, in black america's struggle for civil rights. his death, a shocking moment in a decade marked by political violence. there have long been questions about the murder of malcolm x. now at the very place where he was killed his daughter says she wants answers. for years, ourfamily has fought for the truth to come to light concerning his murder,

and we would like our father to receive the justice that he deserves. this man, thomas hagan, was convicted of killing malcolm x, along with two other men who were later acquitted. black people should realise that freedom is something that they have when they are born. the family of malcolm x accuses various government bodies, including the fbi and cia, of failing to prevent his wrongful death. it's also claimed they concealed evidence that would have cleared the two men that were wrongly convicted of his murder. and so for this great injustice, we will be filing a wrongful death lawsuit against these governmental entities for $100 million. the new york police department says it won't comment on pending legal action, and there has been no word from the fbi or cia. for nearly 60 years,

the death of malcolm x has been shrouded in mystery. his family hope this lawsuit may finally reveal the truth. tim allman, bbc news. now here is all your sports news. hello, i'm gavin ramjaun, and this is your update from the bbc sport centre. real madrid have a 5—2 lead over liverpool, after the first leg of their champions league last sixteen tie. they were two down inside fifteen minutes but showed exactly why they are the champions. it was a repeat of last year's final. and while the spanish side got the better of their opponents again, coach carlo ancelotti says the game was very different. 0ur our strategy was different, for sure. we planned to play a different game from the final. the final was to try to use a

some rather lovely looking pancakes stopping the problem is she is in a bit of a sticky situation because itjust doesn't want to remove itself from that frying pan. we are almost out of time but look at this. what can i say? i will see you in a moment for the top business stories. hello there. we're seeing a change to cooler weather on wednesday, even with some rain around as well. now, it has been really dry for many central and eastern parts of england this month. we started the week with temperatures as high as 17 celsius. but things are changing because we've got this cloud that's moving up from northern france to bring some showers, and that's ahead of this thicker band of cloud that's bringing the rain on that weather front there. that's going to continue to push its way steadily eastwards, and then following on from that, this is where we get the cooler air coming in from the atlantic.

and we start the day with temperatures around about 5—6 celsius with a lot of cloud around. we've got the rain across eastern scotland that will move away, sunshine and showers will follow wintry over the hills, perhaps, and a cool wind for northern ireland, sunshine and showers here. more cloud for england and wales, could keep some rain across some northern and eastern parts of england, may well turn a bit brighter with some sunshine, but again, some showers for wales, the south west and later the midlands. and for all of us, it's a bit cooler, the temperatures typically around nine celsius or so. now we've got cooler weather because we're changing the wind direction. instead of that very mild south—westerly that we started the week with, it's more of a north westerly wind turning northerly across england and wales as we head into thursday. around the top of that area of high pressure, some weather fronts will bring some wetter, windy weather across the north, but we've still got some rain to clearfrom overnight across southern parts of england. that cloud could be very slow to break up, other parts of england, of wales seeing some sunshine, more cloud coming into scotland and northern ireland, wet and windy weather coming into the far north of scotland. temperatures could make double figures in scotland and northern ireland, but it's chilly 8—9 celsius

for england and wales. that high pressure is not really dominating just yet. instead, we've got this weather front, an area of low pressure sliding down through the north sea. now, there's not going to be much rain left on that weather front. it's a band of cloud, most of the rain dying out, we'll get a northerly wind following on behind, maybe a bit of sunshine coming back into scotland and some sunshine perhaps towards wales and the south west of england. probably quite a bit of cloud on friday, although it won't be quite as cold, those temperatures generally around 9—10 celsius. so we've got some wet weather around the middle part of the week, that's going to introduce something a little bit colder. but then with high pressure building through the rest of the month, looks like we're back into dry weather.
