i'll be looking at whether the cost of basics will ever come back down. and there it is. the crazy gang have beaten the culture club. and tributes to the voice of football on the bbc — john motson — who's died at the age of 77. a memorable night for manchester united at the theatre of dreams. it's a stunning second half fight back, made in brazil, to knock barcelona out of the europa league. plus in the weather, a cloudy start. it should brighten up later. what are the _ it should brighten up later. what are the prospects for the weekend? join us_ are the prospects for the weekend? join us for— are the prospects for the weekend? join us for all the details here on breakfast — it's friday, the 24th of february. our main story. the united nations general assembly has overwhelmingly backed a resolution condemning russia's

invasion of ukraine, which took place exactly a year ago. the motion, which calls for the withdrawal of troops from ukraine and a halt to fighting, was backed by 1m nations with 32 abstaining and seven, including russia, voting against. let's speak now to our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse, in kyiv. james, the russians thought this would be a short invasion and kyiv would be a short invasion and kyiv would be a short invasion and kyiv would be on their hands by now. he we are, year on. is would be on their hands by now. he we are. year om— we are, year on. is right. on that morning. — we are, year on. is right. on that morning. this _ we are, year on. is right. on that morning, this time _ we are, year on. is right. on that morning, this time last _ we are, year on. is right. on that morning, this time last year, - we are, year on. is right. on that morning, this time last year, the | morning, this time last year, the once unthinkable happened. so many ukrainians thought vladimir putin was bluffing when he gathered more than 150,000 troops across ukraine's vast borders. at the time he said he

was carrying out military exercises. we now know he is preparing something formal sinister and this city felt very different. there are ceremonies today to mark this almost bittersweet anniversary, something ukraine wants to shine a light on, if you like. it was on this morning a year ago that russia changed ukraine. a thud, marking the moment when ukraine and the world... ..changed forever. a much bigger land grab. we've just heard a siren go off for the first time. we haven't heard that before. after months of buildup, 150,000 russian soldiers crossed the border. millions headed the other way. a country under attack with its people caught in the middle. where russia retreated, horrors were revealed. ukraine's president became a wartime leader.

his video addresses now a nightly ritual. moscow is still framing this as a defensive war. translation: today, once again, we are in grave danger. _ using ukraine, the collective west is seeking to dismember russia to deprive it of its independence. these attempts are doomed to fail. the united nations has voted to demand russia stops its invasion. today, the uk is going to urge countries to support ukraine for as long as it takes. for now, in the west, there is broad unity but that could change, the longer this war goes on. ukraine has reclaimed some of what was taken, like here in kherson. complete liberation is a long way off.

as we speak, kherson is being continually shelled. 40,000 people are without power. ukraine would ultimately win the battle for kyiv but russia occupies almost a fifth of the country. still we are some way of liberation. what president zelensky said overnight, on this day millions made a choice this time last year. we did not choose a white flag, we chose a blue and yellow flag. we chose to play but face. —— not to the bat face. a fourth man has been arrested after an off—duty police officer was shot in northern ireland. detective chief inspectorjohn caldwell had been coaching a children's football session in 0magh when he was targeted by two gunmen on wednesday night, in front of his own son. he remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital and all four of the arrested men are in police custody. the disgraced hollywood film

producer harvey weinstein has been sentenced to a further 16 years in prison after he was found guilty of raping a woman in 2013. the 70—year—old is already serving a 23—year sentence for a separate conviction. he called the latest case a "setup" before pleading with the court for leniency. he was the legendary film producer at the top of his game, with the world at his feet. harvey weinstein became the first major figure taken down by the #metoo movement and sent to jail. another conviction for attacking an actress in beverly hills during a film festival in february 2013. in court, their victim recounted her trauma. before that night i was a very happy and confident woman, she said. everything changed after the

defendant brutally assaulted me. there is no prison sentence long enough to undo the damage. you may sa , it is enough to undo the damage. you may say. it is too — enough to undo the damage. you may say, it is too late, _ enough to undo the damage. you may say, it is too late, he _ enough to undo the damage. you may say, it is too late, he was _ say, it is too late, he was sentenced today. it is never too late to argue or assert a constitutional right weeping has been violated. and it an impact on thousands of victims in the future. —— we think has been violated. if they are brave enough to testify before a grand jury and for some testify in a court of law, they should have the right to speak their peace and say how they have been harmed by the defendant in a case. harvey weinstein is already serving a 23 year prison sentence for a separate conviction in new york for rain and sexual assault. more than 80 people have made rain and misconduct claims about him, dating back to the 1970s. but he maintains he is innocent and that all of his

sexual encounters were consensual. he called his accuser and actress with the ability to turn on her tears. please, do not sentence me to life in prison, he told the court, i do not deserve it. harvey weinstein will be appealing but he is 70 years old, so this sentence means that life and death in prison are now very likely for this once revered hollywood star. thejustice secretary dominic raab has said convicted criminals could get longer sentences if they refuse to appear in court and he's not ruled out the possibility of them being physically dragged from their cells. it comes after a meeting with the family of zara aleena, who was murdered byjordan mcsweeney last year. he was jailed for 38—years but chose not to be in the dock for sentencing. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly reports. zara aleena was attacked and sexually assaulted close to her home in ilford in east london.

she died from her injuries. her killer, jordan mcsweeney, was jailed for 38 years. he chose not to be in court to hear his sentence or to listen to statements from zara's family. when we learned that he had the right not to attend, it felt like a slap in the face. like the murderer gets to have that power. he gets a licence to kill zara because of failings in probation, and then he gets the right to not even face hisjudgement. jordan mcsweeney, a career criminal, who'd already served nine prison sentences, should have been injail when he murdered zara. probation failings meant he hadn't been recalled to prison when he breached his licence conditions. he was captured on cctv on the night of the killing, following other lone women before he targeted zara. herfamily wanted him to be in court

to see and hear them. we need to look at the man in the face — the man that killed our zara. we need to look at him and say, "look at ourfaces. look at what you did! look at how you destroyed a whole family." thejudge was scathing. the defendant's decision not to come up from the cells to court to hear the devastating impact of his crimes shows that the man, who took zara aleena's life has no spine whatsoever. zara's aunt has now met thejustice secretary, dominic raab, and he has pledged to bring in legislation to make convicted criminals appear in court for sentencing. we're going to make sure courts have the power to compel someone who's been convicted of a serious crime to come and face the sentence that they hand down. in terms of force, you could be in a situation where you're physically having to manhandle somebody out of a cell. well, i wouldn't rule that out. but, fundamentally, if a perpetrator

is not willing to come and face the judge and hear the sentence handed down by the court, then i think we should be looking at increasing the sentence as an aggravating factor. the killer of the schoolteacher, sabina nessa, also refused to appear in the dock for sentencing. her family have been at the forefront of the campaign for change. sabina and zara, two young women, whose lives were taken by violent sexual predators, both exposed as cowards in court. june kelly, bbc news. nominations for the snp leadership race will close later today, with three candidates expected to appear on the ballot papers. health secretary humza yousaf, finance secretary kate forbes and former community safety minister ash regan have all put themselves forward to be the next party leader and first minister of scotland, replacing nicola sturgeon. the ballot will open on monday march 13th, with the winner announced

on march 27th. the environment secretary therese coffey has suggested that people in the uk should eat turnips while other — imported — vegetables are in short supply. ms coffey told mps that british consumers should "cherish" home—grown seasonal produce, as some supermarkets have limited sales of cucumbers and tomatoes. extreme weather in spain and north africa is partly to blame for the shortage. are you a fan of a turnip? i don't mind one. turnip soup, all good. you will be fine! i do not have a problem with turnips at all. not sure it goes as well in a salad. very true. things are turning more chilly in the uk in the next you days. a fairly cloudy start to the day with

patchy rain around. so need to start the morning. the clearer skies will impact on the temperature. a frosty start for many. there are conditions working their way into the north—east of scotland as this area of rain works its way south. fairly well fragmented. patchy rain. all thatis well fragmented. patchy rain. all that is shifting south. notice how the cloud starts to break up. into the cloud starts to break up. into the afternoon, a lot more sunshine in north wales, the midlands, the north of england and scotland. takes longer. parts of northern ireland staying cloudy after the sunny start in seven counties. the northerly breeze which will be quite brisk on the north—eastern coast. temperatures up a bit on yesterday. it will probably feel cooler. this evening and overnight the skies were clear across the south. 0ne evening and overnight the skies were clear across the south. one or two

isolated showers of the north—east coast. forthe isolated showers of the north—east coast. for the majority it will be a dry night. a widespread frost into the morning. the outlook for the weekend, other than a few isolated showers, it will be dry. sunny in the west but quite windy in the south. back to you. food prices have shot up in recent months but are they about to start coming down again? hannah's got some figures for us. that is a question many people want to know the answer to. when will my supermarket they'll get cheaper? let's run through it. yes, we know that the cost of pretty much everything has gone up but food prices are still rising very significantly, which is a big problem particularly for people on lower incomes. take, for example, the price of pasta. in 2021, a standard bag cost 50p on average. today it's more like 95p. very nearly double for a basic item that pretty much everyone wants in the cupboard.

while pasta is a particularly high example, on average the price of food is costing almost i7% more than a year ago. that's way above the general rate of inflation of10.1%. and it means your weekly average food shop is costing around £65 more than it did 12 months ago. we've talked before about the reasons why — rising energy costs for producers and retailers, the shortage of some vegetables because of bad harvests, and strains on wheat supplies in ukraine. my colleague emma simpson has been asking when it will all end. this is some of the food we buy every day, and it gives us an idea how our budgets are being stretched. take strawberry jam, it's up 57% in two years. 0ven chips are up 45%. and look at 500 grams of pasta — it's 90% more expensive. that's almost twice the price. we've been tracking these 15 popular

items across the main supermarkets. it's the standard range, which most shoppers buy. now, these items together cost a third more than they did two years ago. food production is really energy intensive and the cost of gas has rocketed. but recently, gas prices have been falling. so why are food prices still rising? the food supply chain that provides the food on our supermarket shelves is incredibly complicated. the products change hands many different times before they come to us as the consumer. and so it takes a long time for the cost increases at the start of the supply chain to be passed down all of the steps until we actually encounter them in the store. how high will food price inflation go? i think we're almost at the peak. we think that food price inflation is going to rise to something between i7% and i9% annually in the first part of 2023. and then food price inflation will

start to drop off fairly quickly. shortages don't help. bad weather has disrupted supplies of fresh fruit and veg, which we rely on from overseas at this time of year. meanwhile, british growers have been planting fewer crops because of the soaring energy and fertiliser costs. they've also struggled to get people to pick them. if farmers aren't growing as much produce here, if they're growing different crops or they're just not planting stuff here because it's uneconomic, it's loss—making, then we'll have to import more from elsewhere. and that inevitably means inflation, because the cost of doing that is higher. more pressure on food prices, which only seem to be going in one direction for now — and that's up. emma simpson, bbc news. so the rate at which food prices are rising will hopefully start to slow down in the second half of this year, and there are consumer experts who think that the competitive

nature of retail in the uk might even bring prices down, if the supermarkets start ringing up their suppliers and pushing for a lower price. if you're looking for more information, support or advice you can find it online at the bbc�*s cost of living web page. just search for "bbc cost of living" in your browser. i suspect many people, along with the energy bill, who does the thing that people really notice and the cost they really want to come down. i have said to charlie, never before have i been in a supermarket i pick something up and put it down again because it has gone up so much. more than ou because it has gone up so much. more than you are — because it has gone up so much. more than you are willing _ because it has gone up so much. more than you are willing to _ because it has gone up so much. ire than you are willing to pay. absolutely. thank you. let's take a look at some of today's papers. many of the front pages are reflecting on the anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. the times headline reads "ukraine's year of blood" and it features a picture of a ukrainian refugee draped

in her nation's colours and sitting on the rocks of carmarthenshire, where she now lives. the daily mail leads with comments made by the queen consort, about changes being made to roald dahl�*s classic books. the paper says she urged writers to fight for their "freedom of expression". the daily mirror has gone with the headline "let them eat turnips" in reference to comments made by environmental secretary therese coffey on the current fruit and veg shortage. the sun has a "showbiz exclusive" on its front page, claiming that vernon kay will replace ken bruce on radio 2 from april. no official announcement has yet been made yet by the bbc. they are big boots to fill, aren't they? 0n the inside pages, five sleep tips for a longer life. these

are the habits that will help you to live longer. if you can fulfil these habits life expectancy is 4.7 years more for men and 2.4 years for women. between seven and eight hours of pip per night. you have to not to have had difficulty falling as sleet more than twice a week, not take medication, and feel well rested at least five days a week. i do not take any of those boxes so my life expectancy is about in the next three years. not taking medication is not a choice. if you are on medication, you take medication. medication to sleep. not using sleep medication. sorry. how many of those do you take? how many hours of sleep per night? how many categories? i got bogged down in the medication thing. seven to eight hours. what

are the other tips? seven to eight hours. you have to full as sleet easily and feel rested when you wake. 0k. well, yes, i do, really. you will live a lot longer than i will, charlie. iam not sure you will live a lot longer than i will, charlie. i am not sure that is true. i don't think we need to go there and discuss that. let's hope we both live a long time. how about that? deal. thank you very much. a lot of us will know that sinking feeling of being without our mobile phone. so if we send it off for repair we want it back as quickly as possible. but that requires a trained technician — and at the moment there's not enough of them. now the industry is calling for a standardised apprenticeship course to become a qualified phone fixer. our technology editor zoe kleinman went to see if she has what it takes.

around 10,000 broken mobile phones make their way to this repair lab every single month. and one of the main reasons is...we keep dropping them. 0ops. lots of us have a story to tell. well, i've dropped my phone before and completely shattered it. and then i dropped it a second time on the same day, and it was completely broken. i was coming out of a club and i was trying to text one—handed. i opened it and i dropped it on the ground and it smashed. my best friend's, like, - bailed on me the last moment. and i was... i got super furious, super angry, i and because i was on a call withl them and ijust hung up on them, ijust smashed my phone on the wall. the staff here at tmt first in the uk are hard at work trying to repair broken gadgets but the company's had trouble recruiting technicians because while there are lots of phone repair courses, there's no industry standard. there's 33 million cars on the road and there's over 80 million mobile phones out there. there's an apprenticeship to be a car mechanic, but not an apprenticeship to be a repair technician. so there's already demand today for a mobile device apprenticeship. to deal with the problem,

this firm has set up its own academy for trainees, who can soon find themselves in demand. i'm going shopping or something. everyone is like, "are you working on that company? can you can you just tell me how i can fix this device, or what's wrong with my software? something is weird." experienced technicians can do up to 20 repairs each day and the average repair costs between £150 and £200. the most common fix is, unsurprisingly, smashed screens. and now...it�*s my turn. so we have here a device, where i will show you how to disassembly and assembly the device back. yeah. and you need to replicate the same process. 0k. questions? i'm not sure i'm going to remember everything, but i will try. i'll have a go. this is fiddly. you need a steady hand

and plenty of patience. you also have to wear special accessories to make sure you don't discharge any static, say, from walking on a carpet. a small amount can brick a gadget. does it work? yes. success. how long did that take me? it's taken me about 40 minutes but i have managed to take something apart and put it back together again. wow! do i get thejob? er, yes. i do. fantastic! are you sure? we asked the institute of apprenticeships and technical education, a uk government agency, whether there are any plans for a phone repair apprenticeship in england. there is a proposal that's already been developed and fully approved. what we would need is a group of employers to come forward, to take that forward, to further develop it. we would absolutely support them to do that but we need the employers to be at the centre of it to make sure it's fit for purpose and suits their needs. back in the lab, repaired phones are checked and returned to their owners. tmt first is trying to be more environmentally sound with its repair methods. it can now replace the screens on some handsets

without having to discard the battery in the outside frame as well. and those phones that really can't be repaired, well, they get taken apart and put in the shredder. the aim is to get all of the precious metals, which includes gold, out of this shrapnel and then re—use it, possibly in your next mobile phone. zoe kleinman, bbc news. it isa it is a horrible feeling when you go and hear the smash. the screen has gone. horrible. quite often they carry on working for a long time, even with massive breakage on the front. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london with me, alison earle. ukrainians who are making a new life

in london say they're determined that their country and culture aren't forgotten. thousands arrived in the capital after russia's invasion, a year ago today. this ukrainian cafe in twickenham has been helping refugees to settle in. i'm from a small village near to kyiv. when the war started, my village was destroyed for 70%. almost all houses. and when i saw this, i felt horrible but life is continuing. i'm trying to make a new life here. it's like, there is a life before and after. there is nothing in between. and life as we knew it ended on the 24th. meanwhile, westminster council has announced the street outside the russian embassy will be renamed "kyiv road". yesterday campaigners painted the area in front of the embassy in notting hill in the colours of the ukrainian flag. four people were arrested. thejustice secretary has told

the family of zara aleena, who was murdered while walking home, that he's working on legislation to make convicted criminals appear in court for sentencing. 35 year—old law graduate zara was killed byjordan mcsweeney in ilford last year. he was jailed for 38 years but refused to attend court to hear the sentence. thejudge described his actions as "spineless." new data suggests the number of miles covered by bus services in london has fallen by 12 million since 2016. the research by the liberal democrats suggests more than 1,100 vehicles were taken out of operation in the past seven years. a spokesperson for the mayor of london said he has "a strong track record on prioritising bus services". travel now and let's see how tfl services are looking at the moment. there's a good service all lines this morning. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning.

it's a cold start this morning and a largely cloudy one as well. we'll see some outbreaks of rain coming and going through the course of today. a couple of weather fronts, first a warm front bringing patchy light rain and drizzle, then a cold front through the afternoon, staying cloudy but gradually the rain and cloud starts to clear. we should end the day with a little bit of sunshine. temperatures reaching nine or 10 celsius. with that cold front clearing, behind it it is going to feel quite chilly. overnight it's dry and largely clear, the minimum down to —1. bit of a breeze preventing too much in the way of frost but we still could see a patch or two. high pressure in charge as we head through saturday, we'll get a bright start, bit of sunshine thing tomorrow morning but we'll see the cloud moving in from the east for the rest of the day. with that, one or two isolated showers. breezy too, a north north—easterly breeze, so it is going to feel chilly. just six or seven celsius the maximum. similar conditions for sunday and high pressure remains in charge. it stays fairly quiet into the first part of next week. there's lots more on our website

and social media including the io—year fighting pollution with his new book. that's it for now, i'm back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. coming up on the programme this morning. we'll hear tributes to the voice of football on the bbc, john motson, from his friends in the game and in the commentary box. actors sally bretton and barbara flynn will be on the sofa for a chat about "beyond paradise", the "death in paradise" spin off which is set in devon. # what is love anyway? and 80s legend howard jones is celebrating 40 years since his debut single and he's still making music. he'll be dropping in before nine.

it's a significant day, exactly one year on from russia's invasion of ukraine. this is the live view of the maidan square in kyiv this morning. marking a year on today since 200,000 soldiers marched into ukraine, russian soldiers on the 24th of february, the biggest invasion that europe has seen since the second world war. we invasion that europe has seen since the second world war.— invasion that europe has seen since the second world war. we know that over the 12 months... _ the war has brought death and destruction and displaced millions of civilians — but we've also seen the kindness and humanity of those who are supporting families in need. john maguire has caught up with some of the people who have shared their stories with us. reports of explosions across ukraine. the latest russian bombardments had hit yet more homes. russia's president vladimir putin has ordered what he calls a military operation into eastern ukraine.

russia's response will be immediate. we don't understand why putin does it. i we need help from world. glory to our defenders, both male and female. glory to ukraine. one year ago this morning, we woke to the news that russia had invaded its neighbour and once again war had returned to europe. when power, phone lines and air raids allow, tanya is able to talk to and see her parents in ukraine. her father makes these candles for air raid shelters. others make camouflage netting in the local community centre. it's everyday life when you're at war. it's sirens, air raids every day. it's very difficult

with uncertainty. children are not in school. it's... life is so upended. country at war. my dad, to me, "putin has started the war." two minutes later, "explosions, tanya, explosions." we first met tanya last march. she's lived in the uk for 15 years and has helped members of her family flee the fighting. they didn't need persuading because russian bombs persuaded them they need to do it. you can't go for a walk even when you hear the siren. you need to go back home. so it's quite a difficult life for children. that's why when tanya said that some people wanted to help us, we decided to go. hannah is on the parents' committee of her son's school. here it is, severely damaged by russian attacks. so alex goes to school here in the uk but also keeps up

with lessons in ukraine online. he misses home. i remember like the 23rd february when i walk with my friends and... "that was the best day," he said. they had...they had pizza that day with his friends. and he was so lucky. then 24 february started. they are safe, but family and friends in ukraine are farfrom it. we also met yulia early last spring. she too has lived in the uk for several years. her husband, martin,

has ukrainian heritage. the war is far from their home here in bolton, but feels very close in their hearts and their minds. it's not easy at all because we spend most of the time checking the news and just following what's happening in ukraine. my grandma and my uncle are still there, so we do worry. it's been, like, a horrifying year. i've heard terrible stories of what has happened to both where i've been, where i've stayed, my friends who live there, that they've been spending time in bomb shelters. their children attend a ukrainian cultural school on saturdays. they have done ever since they were very young. but over the past year it's doubled in size, with children coming to the uk to escape danger. there's people in my class, there's a girl from mariupol and it'sjust, like, she's seen this, she's lived through this.

i think she's escaped death about five times. like, it'sjust horrifying. and these children have been mentally scarred for life. by this experience, like, it's painful to see. explosion. air raid siren. we're thinking about what we're going to do on the coronation weekend. many without a direct connection to ukraine are also doing what they can to help. in the village of tockwith in north yorkshire, the church is lit in ukrainian blue and yellow to show solidarity. they've raised £25,000 and are helping refugees in poland who are staying in a home now proudly called tockwith house. we felt there was a need, the people wanted to feel they were doing something community to community. and that was, that was a very

important ethos for us right from the start. this community to community. we're a small village, we're a small group of people. how can we directly help another small group of people? the past year has seen death and destruction fired by inhumanity at its very worst, but also kindness and hope derived from humanity at its very best. john maguire, bbc news. 0f of course, the question is, where are we going from here? we will be speaking with james waterhouse throughout the programme, steve rosenberg in moscow, and jeremy bowen, the international editor, joins us at 8:30am.— bowen, the international editor, joins us at 8:30am. let's get the sort joins us at 8:30am. let's get the sport now _ joins us at 8:30am. let's get the sport now with — joins us at 8:30am. let's get the sport now with mike. _ joins us at 8:30am. let's get the sport now with mike. a - joins us at 8:30am. let's get the sport now with mike. a dramatic| sport now with mike. a dramatic turnaround _ sport now with mike. a dramatic turnaround in _ sport now with mike. a dramatic turnaround in the _ sport now with mike. a dramatic turnaround in the second - sport now with mike. a dramatic turnaround in the second half. sport now with mike. a dramatic turnaround in the second half at| sport now with mike. a dramatic - turnaround in the second half at old

trafford last night. manchester united brilliant under erik ten hag, and on a day when there were so many tributes tojohn watson, there would have been a great match ——john watson, it would have been a great match for him to commentate on. manchester united is the only team in any of the year at�*s top five leagues which can win four trophies. manchester united find out who they'll face in the round of 16 in the europa league later today after they came from behind to beat barcelona 2—1 at old trafford. it means they're still in the hunt to do the quadruple this season. jane dougall reports from old trafford. it's a magical manchester night for united! victory over a team of barcelona's calibre sums up the turnaround ten hag has performed. in fact, hope is reborn at manchester united. third in the league and a focus on other silverware too. we're one of the only teams in the league that are in all competitions, which is great so far. the quadruple is on.

wow. a quadruple, not the quadruple but we can dream. _ manager erik ten hag has been credited with this revival, but the spanish giants had their own plans. they were given an early penalty after bruno fernandes was said to have pulled balde down. one of the best players in the world stepped up. robert lewandowski's tactics fooled david de gea, but onlyjust. but manchester united are experienced at coming from behind. one touch and fred had levelled it. and a chance here for fred and he's equalised! the roar echoed around old trafford. they weren't finished. attempt after attempt until finally, third time lucky. antony for manchester united! approval from on high. with europa hopes still alive and a match against newcastle for another trophy in a few days' time, this could be a reincarnation of united's glory days. jane dougall, bbc

news, old trafford. now cricket, and england's men are already in a really strong position in the second test in zealand, and they've only played the first day. it didn't look that way early on, as england lost their opening batters far too quickly and were wobbling on 21—3. but what a turnaround it was after that! joe root steadied the side and had reached an unbeaten century by the close of play but he was overshadowed by harry brook, swashbuckling his way towards the double century. england closing the day on 315—3, as they look to win the series 2—0. warren gatland is making up for lost time, getting his wales squad for the six nations game against england tomorrow. after a potential players strike was called off, gatland finally named his squad for the match which is live here on bbc one, and has rung the changes. nine in total, with wales bottom of the six nations table. there's a debut for 20—year—old mason grady. it's a rip roaring start for

the rovers in the new superleague season as hull kr made it two wins from two with a 24—10 victory at salford red devils. running in four tries with sam wood crossing the line twice as the home side were left cursing themselves for making too many errors. andy murray has continued his eventful start to the season with a win over alexandre muller to reach the qatar open semi finals. as is tradition, he fought back from a set down and played some brilliant tennis in the process too, winning 4—6, 6—1, 6—2 against muller, nine years hisjunior. the scot will playjiri lehecka in the last four after the 21—year—old czech beat top seed andrey rublev. back to all the reflections onjohn motson and the tributes, i enjoyed listening to them on the radio yesterday especially yesterday. he was so influential on all of our lives going up in football, playing

subbuteo, and you would pretend to bejohn motson commentating on your own game. i know he played subbuteo on his own to get formations right. as well as being revered amongst fans, who also had a status with players and managers who used to ring, he used to ring alex ferguson up ring, he used to ring alex ferguson up on saturday morning to get the team news. from the horse's mouth. and he would often talk to the players in the tunnel before games telling them amazing stats about their playing career. including someone who will be here soon. in a moment we'll speak to mark lawrenson, who worked alongside him many times. first let's have a reminder of motty in action. here's gascoigne. 0h, brilliant, oh, yes! oh, yes! and there it is. the crazy gang have beaten the culture club. it's dramatic, it's delightful. it's denmark who are the european champions.

and still ricky villa. what a fantastic run, he scores! amazing goal by ricky villa! and england are out of the world cup. west germany are through to the final on penalty kicks. radford again, oh, what a goal! what a goal! radford the scorer, ronnie radford. and the crowd, the crowd are invading the pitch. and now it will take some time to clear the field. we're nowjoined by former liverpool defender mark lawrenson, who wasjohn motson's colleague at bbc sport for many years. hello, thank you for your time this morning. you are one of those players that can remember motty

coming into the tunnel before games and telling you some amazing stats which you didn't even know yourself about your own career?— about your own career? mike, honestly. _ about your own career? mike, honestly. he _ about your own career? mike, honestly, he was _ about your own career? mike, honestly, he was basically - about your own career? mike, - honestly, he was basically stalking you at the game. he was omnipresent. he came up the steps —— you would come up the steps to have a quiet moment before the players came in, and he would be right over, didn't your dad used to play? his name was tommy? how many games did he play for preston? all of those kind of things. when i started commentating with him, after the first time, i came off and i thought i had been working with rain man. seriously, insofar as, working with rain man. seriously, insofaras, i mean it in working with rain man. seriously, insofar as, i mean it in the nicest possible way, he had absolutely everything at his fingertips. he knew everything, he had an a4 piece of cardboard that he had written all the team down. as you rightly said,

he used to ring the managers and in those days you would get the team 24 hours in advance so he could do his prep on all the players. a story about the referee. and it was to the nth degree, everything that he did. and he was just outstanding. at the time himself, barry davies as well, they were just, nobody else you really heard from in terms of commentary because there were not that many live games. most of the games was for the highlights fought match of the day and in major competitions, and they were brilliant, the pair of them. and barry was up there as well with motty. i know he had been frail in the last few weeks, it's very, very sad. yesterday, my phone never stopped from ex—players talking about him, managers, absolute top man, motty. about him, managers, absolute top man. motty-— man, motty. morning, mark, nina here. hi, nina. _ man, motty. morning, mark, nina here. hi, nina. i'm— man, motty. morning, mark, nina here. hi, nina. i'm interested- man, motty. morning, mark, nina| here. hi, nina. i'm interested what ou said

here. hi, nina. i'm interested what you said about _ here. hi, nina. i'm interested what you said about the _ here. hi, nina. i'm interested what you said about the preparation - here. hi, nina. i'm interested what you said about the preparation that went into it, because he was the very best at what he did and like anyone who was the best, they make you look so easy but by the sounds of it he was constantly worrying about getting it right. filth. of it he was constantly worrying about getting it right.— of it he was constantly worrying about getting it right. oh, he could wor for about getting it right. oh, he could worry for britain, _ about getting it right. oh, he could worry for britain, he _ about getting it right. oh, he could worry for britain, he was _ about getting it right. oh, he could worry for britain, he was captain i about getting it right. oh, he could worry for britain, he was captain ofj worry for britain, he was captain of the team, don't worry about that. and we must remember that annie, his wife, was part and parcel of helping him with all of this that. —— all of the stats. it was a little bit difficult, you know what it's like, you go on the gantry and it's not comfortable and the view isn't great, there is a big iron bar in the way in all of those kind of things, and it had to be right. so if you were his producer on the day on the gantry it wasn't easy, but once the game started, he was there was absolutely perfect. he was always absolutely perfect. he had a great character. one day we were at the euro finals i think, we were in

austria and switzerland, at half—time came, i think it was france versus italy. it was 0—0 at half—time, not a lot happened. he has got this a4 piece of cardboard with everything written down on it as i said and at half time i reached over next to him to pick up a bottle of water and i knocked it all over his notes. well, he was apoplectic, honestly! he wanted me to die that instant, i would have done. furious! i looked instant, i would have done. furious! i looked at — instant, i would have done. furious! i looked at him, _ instant, i would have done. furious! i looked at him, he _ instant, ! would have done. furious! i looked at him, he never— instant, i would have done. furious! i looked at him, he never said - i looked at him, he never said anything, isaid, i'm really sorry, motty but to be honest you know everything on there anyway. but the mess on the paper, it was like like a collage. i tell you how famous he was. one day we were doing football focus and tony blair came in for the whole programme when he was prime minister, myself, alan hansen, gary

lineker, in the green room waiting for him to come in and motty was there and he came in, the first person he went to wasjohn. and he went, hello, motty. does it get any better than that?— better than that? morning, charlie here in the studio. _ better than that? morning, charlie here in the studio. for _ better than that? morning, charlie here in the studio. for other- here in the studio. for other commentators, may yourself as well, coming into it, it must have given them great confidence to be working with someone like that.— with someone like that. yeah, yeah. and bar with someone like that. yeah, yeah. and itarry was _ with someone like that. yeah, yeah. and barry was the _ with someone like that. yeah, yeah. and barry was the same. _ with someone like that. yeah, yeah. and barry was the same. no - with someone like that. yeah, yeah. and barry was the same. no doubt l and barry was the same. no doubt about that. yeah, he was a master of the arts and also, i think really especially in the big games, charlie, you are under massive pressure, in the world cup final, if you are the main commentator, you do not want to make a mistake. he never, ever did. he always got it absolutely perfect in every single game. and the great thing as well, once you came off air, you would

have a drink with him, and everything, and he was completely different. but he was, it was like working with rain man, it really seriously was. bud working with rain man, it really seriously was.— seriously was. and one of the distinctive — seriously was. and one of the distinctive things _ seriously was. and one of the distinctive things was - seriously was. and one of the distinctive things was not - seriously was. and one of the - distinctive things was not sometimes what he said but to those dramatic moments of silence, which is so hard to do when you are live and you are excited and there has been a dramatic moment like tres ge, after you spelt the water, it is causing for what seems like an eternity to let the crowd and the atmosphere speak for itself. life let the crowd and the atmosphere speak for itself.— speak for itself. life is all about timin: , speak for itself. life is all about timing. most — speak for itself. life is all about timing, most definitely. - speak for itself. life is all about timing, most definitely. the - speak for itself. life is all about l timing, most definitely. the thing about that goal, it was a golden goal. if somebody scored, in extra time, was the end of the game it didn't go on for another 15 minutes or whatever. didn't go on for another 15 minutes orwhatever. i didn't go on for another 15 minutes or whatever. i think that was the first time it had ever happened with

the trezeguet game. he was worried about that before the game but he got it perfect, which was not a shock at all.— got it perfect, which was not a shock at all. lovely to speak to ou, shock at all. lovely to speak to you. thank _ shock at all. lovely to speak to you. thank you _ shock at all. lovely to speak to you, thank you for _ shock at all. lovely to speak to you, thank you for speaking . shock at all. lovely to speak to you, thank you for speaking to | shock at all. lovely to speak to i you, thank you for speaking to us, nice to see us.— you, thank you for speaking to us, nice to see us._ what . you, thank you for speaking to us, nice to see us._ what a | nice to see us. thank you. what a professional. _ nice to see us. thank you. what a professional, attention _ nice to see us. thank you. what a professional, attention to - nice to see us. thank you. what a professional, attention to detail. | professional, attention to detail. let's take a look at the weather with another professional! good morning, very kind! good morning at home. could you believe this shot, this is the outskirts of los angeles? this is yesterday where they are having a rare snowfall, not just that, lots of it as well. this was yesterday, more of it to come today. could see as much as five feet of snow in the mountains. the big winter storm has notjust been affecting california, it has been further east as well. a thankless task trying to clear the snow here in minnesota. while this is in the

central and western areas, in washington, dc yesterday afternoon they hit 27 celsius. pretty crazy conditions in the us. we don't have contrast also know at the moment but there could be some wintry flurries into this weekend. —— we don't have contrast like that in this country, we don't have snow at the moment. in the far south we have got a bit of frost but we are introducing sunshine across scotland and northern england quite widely this morning. an area of cloud and rain will be pushing through northern ireland west during the day, bit quicker southwards in england and wales, confined to southern counties later on and it will be cloudy after initial brightness. the rest of the country a good bit of sunshine, windy and the north, notable down those eastern coasts which will make it feel a little bit more chilly. it is up a touch from what we had yesterday. the wind becomes a feature tonight, one or two isolated

showers in the east and it could be wintry over higher ground. away from that, clear skies for the vast majority and a cold night, a widespread frost away from those eastern counties to take us into the start of the weekend. into the weekend we are going to start to see an area of high pressure built in across the country, moving in from the west meaning we have an easterly wind on saturday in eastern and southern areas, it will be chilling in the eastern coasts. cloud and a few showers initially here, a bit of snow on the tops of the hills. lots of the country will be dry. the grout —— cloud gradually increasing from the east. it will feel like 2 degrees on the eastern coasts given the strength of the wind. high pressure builds during sunday, frost around and patchy fog across the north. quite wind towards the

south—east, the strongest winds are there. cloud developing west through there. cloud developing west through the day, some sunny spells and most places will be dry if a little of the chilly side. thank you, max. —— matt. you're going to hear some beautiful and very soothing music shortly, which is all the more remarkable for the story behind it. it's performed by two orchestras — one from bournemouth and one from gateshead — for musicians with disabilities. they use a blend of traditional instruments and electronic ones, developed specifically for musicians with impairments. simon marks went along to the rehearsals. rehearsing at lighthouse in poole, two ensembles from the bournemouth symphony orchestra and the royal northern sinfonia. both are inclusive, led by disabled musicians, and they've come together for a ground—breaking performance. they've been working together for the last year, really, collaborating, exploring. there are an absolute range of very

different access needs that people have in the room and we work all together as individuals to learn and listen to each other. the bso's inclusive ensemble is called bso resound and siobhan plays lead violin. the magical thing about resound is that we all work in different ways than what would be deemed as normal or customary. so for instance, i hold my violin slightly on the side. i kind of tilt my head and press my violin right into my neck to feel the vibrations. today, clarence is a member of rns moves based in gateshead. his musicaljourney began three decades ago when he played trumpet with the bso here in poole, alongside his friend pete, who's here to welcome him back. clarence is the most positive person you could ever meet. we're all very proud of what he's achieved. i had my accident a couple of years after leaving here, really? i was laying in intensive care at some point,

being kept alive by machines. and so from that position, to think that us two still could be, you know, in the same building and all of that is remarkable. clarence now plays an instrument which was developed especially for him. it's called headspace, and he plays it by moving his head and blowing into a tube. at the heart of it is a computer, which gives clarence the option to bring all kinds of new sounds into the music. yeah, and it's getting the audiences used to accepting those new sounds on the classical stage. and so far, so good. nobody's throwing any tomatoes at me! the concert opens with a new piece — falling, composed by kate whitley. she worked with the musicians to incorporate the electronic instruments and give the whole orchestra a remarkable creative freedom. if they want to just make up and play whatever they want, they can do, which they sometimes do! so it's a mixture between following some pre—set things and having total flexibility to play

whatever you want. it's completely an opportunity, not a limitation. i think it's going to the point that we can have whole orchestras that are inclusive groups, and ifeel like the potential of where that could lead is incredible. the performance was recorded and it's available to watch via the bso's streaming service. look for "musical change—makers" on the website bsolive.com. access inclusion music is for everyone. no individual needs to be excluded. it's quite easy to make adaptation. disabled young people who don't have a voice and they say they cannot do music. and then i show up and play my instrument. don't let yourself be held back by the status quo. keep being brave. keep pushing for what you need. that was simon marks reporting. really impressive. seeing clarence

using the mouth techniques and completely fresh sound being introduced to a classical orchestra is amazing. introduced to a classical orchestra is amazing-— introduced to a classical orchestra is amazinu. , . ., ., ,., is amazing. there is a good point he is amazing. there is a good point he is makin: , is amazing. there is a good point he is making. people — is amazing. there is a good point he is making, people are _ is amazing. there is a good point he is making, people are learning - is amazing. there is a good point he is making, people are learning to i is making, people are learning to hear things differently, because they are created differently, it makes perfect sense. it’s they are created differently, it makes perfect sense. it's always impressive _ makes perfect sense. it's always impressive watching _ makes perfect sense. it's always impressive watching the - makes perfect sense. it's always impressive watching the synergyj makes perfect sense. it's always i impressive watching the synergy of an orchestra. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london with me, alison earle. ukranians, who are making a new life in london say they're determined that their country and culture aren't forgotten. thousands arrived in the capital after russia's invasion a year ago today. this ukrainian cafe in twickenham has been helping refugees to settle in. i'm from a small village near to kyiv. when the war started, my village was destroyed for 70%. almost all houses.

and when i saw this, i felt horrible but life is continuing. i'm trying to make a new life here. it's like, there is a life before and after. there is nothing in between. and life as we knew it ended on the 24th. meanwhile, westminster council has announced the street outside the russian embassy will be renamed kyiv road. yesterday, campaigners painted the area in front of the embassy in notting hill in the colours of the ukrainian flag. four people were arrested. thejustice secretary has told the family of zara aleena, who was murdered last year, that he's working on steps to force convicted criminals to appear in court for sentencing. 35—year—old law graduate zara was killed byjordan mcsweeney while walking home in ilford. he was jailed for 38 years but refused to attend court to hear the sentence. thejudge described his

actions as "spineless." new data suggests the number of miles covered by bus services in london has fallen by 12 million since 2016. the research by the liberal democrats suggests more than 1100 vehicles were taken out of operation in the past seven years. a spokesperson for the mayor of london said he has "a strong track record on prioritising bus services." travel now, and let's see how the tube is looking at the moment. there are minor delays on thejubilee line. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it's a cold start this morning and a largely cloudy one as well. we'll see some outbreaks of rain coming and going through the course of today. a couple of weather fronts, first a warm front bringing patchy light rain and drizzle, then a cold front through the afternoon, staying cloudy but gradually the rain and cloud starts to clear. we should end the day with a little bit of sunshine. temperatures reaching nine or 10 celsius. with that cold front clearing, behind it it is going to feel quite chilly.

overnight it's dry and largely clear, the minimum down to —1. bit of a breeze preventing too much in the way of frost but we still could see a patch or two. high pressure in charge as we head through saturday, we'll get a bright start, bit of sunshine first thing tomorrow morning but we'll see the cloud moving in from the east for the rest of the day. with that, one or two isolated showers. breezy too, a north north—easterly breeze, so it is going to feel chilly. just six or seven celsius the maximum. similar conditions for sunday and high pressure remains in charge. it stays fairly quiet into the first part of next week. there's lots more on our website and social media, including the 10—year fighting pollution with his new book. that's it for now, i'm back in around half an hour.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. our headlines today... explosion. on the first anniversary of russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine, the united nations calls for an immediate withdrawl of troops. these are live pictures from the ukrainian capital kyiv with ceremonies taking place across ukraine the country today to mark the anniversary. a fourth man is arrested in connection with the shooting of an off duty police officer in 0magh. detective chief inspectorjohn caldwell suffered life—changing injuries in the attack. convicted criminals could be forced into court from their cells, or face longerjail terms if they refuse to appear for sentencing.

a magnificent manchester united night at the theatre of dreams. it's a stunning second half fightback to knock barcelona out of the europa league and keep them in the running for four trophies this season. ple nty of plenty of cloud around this morning, a bitter— plenty of cloud around this morning, a bitter patchy rain. for most it will brighten up during the day. plus a look at how dry february has been _ plus a look at how dry february has been so _ plus a look at how dry february has been so far~ — it's friday the 24th of february. our main story. the united nations general assembly has overwhelmingly backed a resolution condemning russia's invasion of ukraine, which took place exactly a year ago. the motion, which calls for the withdrawal of troops from ukraine and a halt to fighting, was backed by 14! nations with 32 abstaining and seven — including russia — voting against. let's speak now to our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse, in kyiv.

this time last year, he would have thought— this time last year, he would have thought we — this time last year, he would have thought we would still be here a year on? — it really is quite something to be standing in a city where the democratically elected president is still in power. i had to be honest with you. i think we entertained the idea that russian soldiers would be wandering the streets of this city within days of that full—scale invasion. there have been months of true build—up. vladimir putin claiming he was carrying out military exercises. the political language kept heightening tensions kept going up, and on this day last year, the once unthinkable happened. a thud, marking the moment when ukraine and the world... ..changed forever. a much bigger land grab. we've just heard a siren go

off for the first time. we haven't heard that before. after months of buildup, 150,000 russian soldiers crossed the border. millions headed the other way. a country under attack with its people caught in the middle. where russia retreated, horrors were revealed. ukraine's president became a wartime leader. his video addresses now a nightly ritual. moscow is still framing this as a defensive war. translation: today, once again, we are in grave danger. _ using ukraine, the collective west is seeking to dismember russia to deprive it of its independence. these attempts are doomed to fail. the united nations has voted to demand russia stops its invasion. today, the uk is going to urge

countries to support ukraine for as long as it takes. for now, in the west, there is broad unity but that could change, the longer this war goes on. ukraine has reclaimed some of what was taken, like here in kherson. complete liberation is a long way off. kherson, which you saw, 40,000 people are thought to be without power, according to officials. it is a reminder that this war has become incredibly static. over the next couple of months we will see both ukraine and russia trying to seize the initiative. for now it is a costly conflict in just about every way. on the anniversary of the full—scale invasion, there will be ceremonies across the country but

also fears that vladimir putin will use this day to launch missile and drone attacks across the country, a continuation of a tactic deployed throughout the winter. this is a war that so many have learned to live with. . ~ that so many have learned to live with. . ,, i. that so many have learned to live with. . ~' ,, ~ that so many have learned to live with. . ,, i. . , that so many have learned to live with. . ,, . , with. thank you. we will be back with. thank you. we will be back with james _ with. thank you. we will be back with james later _ with. thank you. we will be back with james later on _ with. thank you. we will be back with james later on in _ with. thank you. we will be back with james later on in the i with james later on in the programme. we will also be back in moscow and have reflection from international editor. a fourth man has been arrested after an off—duty police officer was shot multiple times in northern ireland. detective chief inspectorjohn caldwell was targeted by two gunmen after coaching children at football in 0magh on wednesday. our ireland correspondent chris page joins us from belfast. very good morning to you. bring us up very good morning to you. bring us up with the investigation. we are hearing more detail at the moment itself and what happened withjohn coldwell and what he did in the moments after being shot. abs,

happened, the more horrific it seems. also we hear about the bravery of the man himself. after he was shot putting footballs into the boot of his car. he called out to other young people to run away after he was shot to keep themselves safe. many saying that was the measure of the man and a high esteem in which he was held. the man and a high esteem in which he was held-— the disgraced hollywood film producer harvey weinstein has been sentenced to a further 16 years in prison after he was found guilty of raping a woman in 2013. the 70—year—old is already serving a 23—year sentence for a separate conviction. he called the latest case a "setup" before pleading with the court for leniency. nominations for the snp leadership race will close later today, with three candidates expected to appear on the ballot papers. health secretary humza yousaf, finance secretary kate forbes and former community safety minister

ash regan have all put themselves forward to be the next party leader and first minister of scotland, replacing nicola sturgeon. the ballot will open on monday march 13th, with the winner announced on march 27th. a fierce winter storm has gripped northern parts of the united states, causing widespread disruption, with los angeles issuing a rare blizzard warning. around 75 million people across 28 states have been placed under "winter weather alerts", with many losing access to power. our north america correspondent peter bowes reports. an extreme spell of warm weather. from the midwest to the west coast, great swathes of america are paralysed by intense conditions. this is minnesota, where snowploughs are hard at work and the streets of minneapolis are almost deserted. they are used to snow here but this storm is unusual and widespread. the states of wisconsin,

nebraska, south dakota and colorado have all been battling blizzard conditions. this storm has been remarkable in its strength, its scope and its duration and its breadth. it has been a coast—to—coast storm. it may be fun for some but across the country, millions of people are without power. schools are closed and thousands of flights have been delayed or cancelled. to the surprise of many, the cold snap has even reached parts of california. they include the cities of san francisco and sanjose, at the heart of silicon valley. even more surprising, los angeles is next. it is extremely cold here and the torrential rain we've been getting over the last few hours is beginning to turn into snow. it's settling on this car behind me. we just don't normally get this here. weather forecasters say over the next few hours, we are likely to see blizzards in california, around los angeles, the kinds of which are long—term residents here have never

seen before. it's freezing cold, not used to seeing snow in the desert but kind of exciting. we live on a ranch so we have a back—up generator. firewood, so hopefully we are as prepared as we need to be. the fact that it's snowing, i am really excited. - i'm like a 33—year—old child. super excited. i am layered up, i have leggings on under my pants, i have a long—sleeved jacket, i have this big jacket, i have hot hands. the national weather service has warned of extremely dangerous mountain conditions to the east of la but even hollywood could get some snow by the weekend. it is all the more bizarre since part of the eastern us, like florida, are experiencing record high temperatures. for southern california, the worst of the storm is still to come. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles.

we are getting a sense of how the weather is over there. it is not nice. for many, their winter has been incredibly dry. let's get back to what to expect here today in the uk to get your friday under way. lots of cloud to begin with, a bit patchy rain but the skies will brighten. a bit of early sunshine across southern counties but that is giving way. it thrust for one or two. temperatures quickly on rise. a milder start further north. temperatures dropping in the north of scotland. patchy rain working south. followed by a few showers. a bit damp in the eastern counties of england and the hills of wales. heading south and slowly moving across northern ireland. moving a bit quicker across northern england,

wales, the midlands, east anglia during the middle part of the day. the early sunshine you have seen has given way. lots of cloud for the rest of the day. lots of other parts, sunny spells and a keen northerly wind. temperatures up a little on yesterday, probably feeling a touch cooler given the strength of the wind in the eastern counties. we could even see some wet snow mixed in on the top of the hills. a widespread frost and this weekend looks largely dry for many. the best of the sunshine in the west, the windiest in the east and south. more in half—an—hour. thank you. see later on. when zara aleena was murdered by a stranger in east london last year, it shattered her family, and they described that grief in victim impact statements for the court. however, zara's killer — a career criminal called jordan mcsweeney — never heard them, because he chose not to attend the hearing

at which they were read out. now the justice secretary dominic raab has said he'll look into whether criminals who refuse to be in court should face longer sentences. our home affairs correspondent june kelly reports. zara aleena was attacked and sexually assaulted close to her home in ilford in east london. she died from her injuries. her killer, jordan mcsweeney, was jailed for 38 years. he chose not to be in court to hear his sentence or to listen to statements from zara's family. when we learned that he had the right not to attend, it felt like a slap in the face. like the murderer gets to have that power. he gets a licence to kill zara because of failings in probation, and then he gets the right to not even face hisjudgment. jordan mcsweeney, a career criminal, who'd already served nine prison sentences, should have been injail

when he murdered zara. probation failings meant he hadn't been recalled to prison when he breached his licence conditions. he was captured on cctv on the night of the killing, following other lone women before he targeted zara. herfamily wanted him to be in court to see and hear them. we need to look at the man in the face — the man that killed our zara. we need to look at him and say, "look at ourfaces. look at what you did! look at how you destroyed a whole family." thejudge was scathing. the defendant's decision not to come up from the cells to court to hear the devastating impact of his crimes shows that the man, who took zara aleena's life has no spine whatsoever. zara's aunt has now met thejustice secretary, dominic raab, and he has pledged to bring in legislation to make convicted criminals appear in court for sentencing. we're going to make sure courts have the power to compel someone

who's been convicted of a serious crime to come and face the sentence that they hand down. in terms of force, you could be in a situation where you're physically having to manhandle somebody out of a cell. well, i wouldn't rule that out. but, fundamentally, if a perpetrator is not willing to come and face the judge and hear the sentence handed down by the court, then i think we should be looking at increasing the sentence as an aggravating factor. the killer of the schoolteacher, sabina nessa, also refused to appear in the dock for sentencing. her family have been at the forefront of the campaign for change. sabina and zara, two young women, whose lives were taken by violent sexual predators, both exposed as cowards in court. june kelly, bbc news. zara's aunt, farah naz, joins us now. you are very welcome here this

morning. the meeting yesterday with dominic raab, presumably for you, very, very important because of what has happened. presumably also very emotional. this is a moment when you get to say something to someone of significance and also hear an apology. tell us a little bit about what happened. we apology. tell us a little bit about what happened-— apology. tell us a little bit about what ha ened. ~ . , . what happened. we have been waiting nearl eiuht what happened. we have been waiting nearly eight months _ what happened. we have been waiting nearly eight months since _ what happened. we have been waiting nearly eight months since zara - what happened. we have been waiting nearly eight months since zara is i nearly eight months since zara is madder to have a meeting with the home office. —— was murdered. we had that meeting yesterday and dominic raab took accountability festival, which was very important. acknowledged the mistakes, the serious mistakes made by probation that were presented in the recent review undertaken by the independent watchdog and also gave an apology to

the family, which we had received in writing a couple of weeks ago. yesterday i had that in person and that was very important. we had a lengthy meeting for more than a hour. we discussed the length, —— at length in all the errors. dominic raab made a commitment to follow through with all the recommendations, the ten recommendations, the ten recommendations in that report. also made a commitment to look at why those recommendations from previous reports have not been attended to. and said that he was accountable, even though he was not the minister that had commissioned the previous reviews. that was very important. how does it make you feel? i am imagining the point at which he finds out about the murder, which is unimaginable for anyone outside of

it but to learn of the mistakes within the probation service and think it did not have to happen, to get to the point when someone sits down and verbally apologises, what is that like? so down and verbally apologises, what is that like? . , is that like? so many mixed feelings- — is that like? so many mixed feelings. at _ is that like? so many mixed feelings. at this _ is that like? so many mixed feelings. at this early i is that like? so many mixed feelings. at this early stage | is that like? so many mixed i feelings. at this early stage still, we still cannot believe that zara has been murdered. it is so hard to accept this is what has happened. and so, sometimes, thingsjust do not sit so well and they do not get accepted. it is hard to know how to go with this but of course an apology is important. when we found out all these mistakes, there have

been many mistakes, several mistakes. when you look at them, it is completely shocking and some days ijust is completely shocking and some days i just wake up is completely shocking and some days ijust wake up livid. and then other times i think, but then we must act to make sure that this doesn't happen again. dominic raab yesterday said he was committed to making sure these mistakes do not happen again. that is a very important commitment. i do not feel comfort but i do feel very glad that we are having this conversation for the rest of society, for other women, and ifeel relieved we are having this conversation. he did say i could come back again, we could continue to have conversations. there is a lot more to be done. as a citizen, i

am very mindful that it is very important to keep on having conversations, to keep on holding our leaders to account stop i encourage everybody to do this, actually because we could so easily sit back and think we have got no power we sit on our hands. if we sit on our hands, this will happen again. politicians also need are a nation to be motivated. figs again. politicians also need are a nation to be motivated.— again. politicians also need are a nation to be motivated. as part of the court process, _ nation to be motivated. as part of the court process, people - nation to be motivated. as part of the court process, people will i nation to be motivated. as part of. the court process, people will know this from other cases. this was for your family. this from other cases. this was for yourfamily. he made a this from other cases. this was for your family. he made a family victim statement. —— you made. in this court case, jordan mcsweeney elected not to be in court when that happened. this was another thing that dominic raab addressed, about compelling those who carry out these crimes to be there for that moment.

what is your thought about that, having been through this? this is somethin: having been through this? this is something we — having been through this? this is something we have _ having been through this? this is something we have been - having been through this? this is something we have been asking l having been through this? this is l something we have been asking for and we have been raising attention to, and been talking with the victims commission as well, who has also been pursuing a change in this regard. as a family, and other families also have been in a similar situation, for example, the family of sabina nessa had been wanting this change. before this happened, we did not know and most people do not know, that people who are convicted of a crime have a choice not to attend their sentencing, which seems to make a mockery of the whole courtroom process, really. there is such a large part of the courtroom allocated to the criminal and there is nobody in the box. it seems very strange, like we are just having a conversation, if there is

nobody being judged. much having a conversation, if there is nobody being judged.— having a conversation, if there is nobody being judged. nobody being 'udged. much of the summin: nobody being 'udged. much of the summing up — nobody being judged. much of the summing up from _ nobody being judged. much of the summing up from the _ nobody being judged. much of the summing up from the judge i summing up from thejudge presentencing is directly about what the perpetrator has done. for them not to be witness to that will surprise a lot of people. as a family, how important is it that all families of victims to have that moment? mr; families of victims to have that moment? ~ , ., families of victims to have that moment? g ., . , , . . moment? my mother and myself, zara 's grandmother. _ moment? my mother and myself, zara 's grandmother, we _ moment? my mother and myself, zara 's grandmother, we both _ moment? my mother and myself, zara 's grandmother, we both made - moment? my mother and myself, zara 's grandmother, we both made victim l 's grandmother, we both made victim impact statements and we wanted him to hear that. human—to—human, we wanted him to know the impact that his actions his horrific actions, have left their mark he has left on us. he has completely destroyed us as a family. we have had years and years of finding a way to accepting

what happened. we need that. the other side to this is that we also feel he needed it as well. he needed to face his actions. it was his opportunity to be human. this must be very difficult _ opportunity to be human. this must be very difficult to _ opportunity to be human. this must be very difficult to think— opportunity to be human. this must be very difficult to think about i be very difficult to think about even. i know how important it is to you, as you have said before. lots of people will think how hard it must be to be in that situation and look at the person who has killed your loved one throughout the course of the trial, let alone in the moment when you are saying things directly to them. that sounds like it would have mattered enormously to you, to have literally had someone in your line of sight as usa in those words.— in your line of sight as usa in those words. , , ,., . those words. yes. very important. for us, those words. yes. very important. for us. for—

good morning from bbc london with me alison earle. ukrainians who are making a new life in london say they're determined that their country and culture aren't forgotten. thousands arrived in the capital after russia's invasion, a year ago today. this ukrainian cafe in twickenham has been helping refugees to settle in. i'm from a small village near to kyiv. when the war started, my village was destroyed for 70%. almost all houses. and when i saw this, i felt horrible but life is continuing. almost all houses. and when i saw this, i felt horrible but life is continuing. i'm trying to make a new life here. it's like, there is a life before and after. there is nothing in between. and life as we knew it ended on the 24th. meanwhile, westminster council has announced the street outside the russian embassy will be renamed "kyiv road". yesterday campaigners painted the area in front of the embassy in notting hill in the colours

of the ukrainian flag. four people were arrested. new data suggests the number of miles covered by bus services in london has fallen by 12 million since 2016. the research by the liberal democrats suggests more than 1100 vehicles were taken out of operation in the past seven years. a spokesperson for the mayor of london said he has "a strong track record on prioritising bus services". here's something you don't see everyday along the thames. five nato warships are making a rare visit to the capital. they're from norway, estonia, germany and the netherlands and specialise in clearing mines from the seas of northern europe. they're spending the next few days moored near hms belfast and we're being told to expect crowds. travel now and let's see how the tube is looking at the moment. there are minor delays on thejubilee line. and a good service

on all other lines. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it's a cold start this morning and a largely cloudy one as well. we'll see some outbreaks of rain coming and going through the course of today. a couple of weather fronts, first a warm front bringing patchy light rain and drizzle, then a cold front through the afternoon, staying cloudy but gradually the rain and cloud starts to clear. we should end the day with a little bit of sunshine. temperatures reaching nine or 10 celsius. with that cold front clearing, behind it it is going to feel quite chilly. overnight it's dry and largely clear, the minimum down to —1. bit of a breeze preventing too much in the way of frost but we still could see a patch or two. high pressure in charge as we head through saturday, we'll get a bright start, bit of sunshine first thing tomorrow morning but we'll see the cloud moving in from the east for the rest of the day. with that, one or two isolated showers. breezy too, a north north—easterly breeze, so it is going to feel chilly. just six or seven celsius the maximum. similar conditions for sunday and high pressure remains in charge. it stays fairly quiet into the first part of next week.

there's lots more on our website. including the 10—year fighting pollution with his new book. that's it for now, i'm back in an hour. a year on from the start of the conflict in ukraine, let's take a look at the true cost of the war. in terms of the number of people killed, it's massively disputed. estimates from the uk ministry of defence for the number of russians killed ranges from 40 to 60,000. russia denies that. more than 20,000 ukrainians are known to have died according to the government and the un, but that figure is believed to be much higher. as many as 8 million ukrainian refugees have been recorded across europe though some have now returned. currently, 4.8 million ukrainians are in temporary protection schemes.

this map shows where they've gone, and how many have fled to each country. russia has claimed 2.8 million ukrainians have fled east across its border, but the un has not been able to verify this. a year ago, before the invasion, the only occupied territories in ukraine were luhansk and donetsk in the east, held by russian—backed separatists. just weeks later, large parts of the south, east, and north of ukraine were under russian military control. but ukraine has fought back thanks to artillery from europe and the us, and seized back much of the north, but russia still occupies large parts of the east. the impact of war means many ukrainians have taken on new roles and responsibilities in order to play their part. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet has spent time with three women whose lives

are no longer the same in a society which is also changing. there are many lines in life. ukraine's women are on them. from ballet to the battlefield, fighting now for what matters in their lives, the life of this nation. this war in ukraine is upending so many lives. ukrainians' sense of self, their sense of purpose. a war being waged over ukraine's borders is also changing a people within. translation: when the war began, i thought i wouldn't _ perform on the stage again. now it's one of the most important things for us and for people, to save our culture and save our soul.

translation: i want to protect my family and my country. _ i couldn't stay behind and wait. i'm sorry that so many young men now have to fight for our country. i want tojoin them. bogdana performs her moves at the kyiv opera theatre with an even greater sense of purpose. many dancers are now taking on roles in the war effort too. it's important to feel that i can help. that i'm not only a woman and a ballet dancer, i'm someone who can be useful right now, even if it'sjust a little for someone. they've joined, as volunteers, a foundation called helping hands set up by another ballerina. gathering donations, distributing food, medicine, clothes to those in need.

i think all my friends my age have become ten years older. you can see it from the way they look. the values they have come to understand. what we care about, what we think about. training for active duty. 26—year—old olena has seen action three times, been injured, she's heading back again. the number of women in ukraine's army more than doubled in the past year. it's now about a fifth of the force. translation: we are a stronger| nation because we have both men and women on the front line. there are no divisions between us. we are all there for the same purpose — to protect our country as best we can. ukraine's highest ranking female soldier, a lieutenant colonel, nearly 30 years in uniform. she's seen the change.

translation: sometimes it's difficult for men to accept i that their commander or deputy commander is a woman. that's why i need to be a strong character to show them that it's not just a woman in front of them. i always say, firstly, i'm an officer. then i'm a woman. and then i'm blonde. a refresher on russia's history. lieutenant colonel yakubchok is now in charge of soldiers well—being. this is a session to boost morale. it's the region of kherson, just a few miles from the front line. during this last year we changed. now we know for certain who our enemies are, who our friends and brothers are. we separated the light from the dark. a year in ukraine like no other.

a time when ukrainians confronted an enemy... as well as themselves. lyse doucet, bbc news, kyiv. and we're nowjoined by the russia editor for bbc monitoring, he also co—hosts ukrainecast, vitaly shevchenko. good ukrainecast, vitaly shevchenko. morning to you. i morning, good morning to you. i say good morning, that here we are a year on, somebody with ukrainian heritage, how are you feeling that we are still locked into this conflict? i’m still locked into this conflict? i'm t in: not still locked into this conflict? i'm trying not to _ still locked into this conflict? in trying not to focus on feelings too much. it's a coping mechanism, if you like. which a lot of ukrainians use these days. i remember interviewing a woman for ukraine cast, a woman who lived outside of kyiv, tragically she had lost her

young daughter and a her husband at a russian roadblock. i was embarrassed asking her questions about the very traumatic experience. in the way she talks to us was as if it had happened to somebody else. so it had happened to somebody else. so it is coping mechanism, where ukrainians put it off as long as possible, we will think about emotions later. there was another volunteer interview who evacuated people out of mariupol and went into the war zone and he sounded as if he had what it takes to go into war zone, fearless, gutsy man. towards the end of the interview, he broke down in tears, he cried like a baby because he started thinking too much the emotion of it. the because he started thinking too much the emotion of it.— the emotion of it. the images we are showin: the emotion of it. the images we are showing now — the emotion of it. the images we are showing now are _ the emotion of it. the images we are showing now are of _ the emotion of it. the images we are showing now are of mariupol, i the emotion of it. the images we are showing now are of mariupol, and i the emotion of it. the images we are | showing now are of mariupol, and i'm sure a lot of people watching these pictures this morning, periodically over this 12 month period have moments when you see these images

and itjust brings home every time you look at these pictures, and you realise what the consequence, the human cost to people in ukraine is. and these are images that i know are reflected in many, many other cities. it reflected in many, many other cities. , . . ., reflected in many, many other cities. , . . . �*, , cities. it is tragic, and it's 'ust disheartening i cities. it is tragic, and it's 'ust disheartening to i cities. it is tragic, and it's 'ust disheartening to think i cities. it is tragic, and it'sjust disheartening to think that i disheartening to think that currently, there doesn't seem to be any end in sight. but what gives me inspiration, what gives a lot of people strengths, is the fact that so many people are prepared to sacrifice their time, effort and money to selflessly help others, people in need. to give an example, there is somebody called paul from cheshire, he went to ukraine to help evacuate children. and he was captured at a town called the silica which happens to be right next to my

home village in the zaporizhzhia region. he was tortured in captivity and he died, sadly, that's the price that people pay. i was asked to bring his belongings back to his family here in cheshire and i thought there would be a big suitcase. the man who brought his belongings to my house, it was a small bag. he said, perhaps you should tell me what's inside. he said, it's a pair of boots and some soft toys. so that's when it hit me, this man from cheshire went to ukraine to help children with soft toys that he was killed. that's the tragedy of the situation. lots toys that he was killed. that's the tragedy of the situation.— tragedy of the situation. lots of eo - le tragedy of the situation. lots of people who _ tragedy of the situation. lots of people who have _ tragedy of the situation. lots of people who have come - tragedy of the situation. lots of people who have come to i tragedy of the situation. lots of people who have come to the l tragedy of the situation. lots of| people who have come to the uk tragedy of the situation. lots of i people who have come to the uk from ukraine, a lot of the diaspora from around the world, are grateful for the hospitality are being taken in and looked after here but ultimately, they want to go home.

like yourfamily from ultimately, they want to go home. like your family from zaporizhzhia, home is home, isn't it?— home is home, isn't it? home is home, home is home, isn't it? home is home. that's — home is home, isn't it? home is home, that's what _ home is home, isn't it? home is home, that's what my _ home is home, isn't it? home is home, that's what my mother i home is home, isn't it? home is- home, that's what my mother keeps telling me, i'm going back in april, it's enough. ukraine is where we belong. and frankly, i will do what i can to stop that from happening because places like zaporizhzhia might feel safe now but it's a lottery. all it takes is one russian missile strike to destroy that sense of safety and normalcy. and the fact is, this is something i've been hearing from a lots of ukrainians, they are safe, they are warm, fed and watered, but there's no escaping the fact that coming here wasn't exactly their choice. and survivors guilt is also a real thing, watching the horror of this war from from safety you are trying to keep your mum here but she is desperate to get back? that's right. the

mum here but she is desperate to get back? that's right.— back? that's right. the reporting that all of the _ back? that's right. the reporting that all of the correspondings i back? that's right. the reporting that all of the correspondings do | that all of the correspondings do there _ that all of the correspondings do there are — that all of the correspondings do there are about the fact they see on there are about the fact they see on the ground — there are about the fact they see on the ground. talk to me about the spirit _ the ground. talk to me about the spirit of— the ground. talk to me about the spirit of the ukrainian people. it is conjecture but you are closer to it than— is conjecture but you are closer to it than most. is that one of the things— it than most. is that one of the things that none of us outsiders fully understood a year ago today, 'ust fully understood a year ago today, just how. — fully understood a year ago today, just how, what would happen in relation — just how, what would happen in relation to— just how, what would happen in relation to the morale, the spirit of the _ relation to the morale, the spirit of the ukrainian people? to relation to the morale, the spirit of the ukrainian people?- of the ukrainian people? to be honest, of the ukrainian people? to be honest. i— of the ukrainian people? to be honest, i don't _ of the ukrainian people? to be honest, i don't think _ of the ukrainian people? to be honest, i don't think even i of the ukrainian people? to be honest, i don't think even the l honest, i don't think even the ukrainian people themselves thought this was going to happen. the unity and determination we are seeing right now, how people in ukraine are trying to make the most of whatever normalcy remains in their lives, this rediscovered sense of identity, 0k, ukraine's infrastructure has taken a battering. it's very badly affected. but let's have a think

about what ukraine means for the whole world right now. i've heard from an american truck driver who told me that he was learning ukrainian while on the move using a mobile app because he's fascinated by ukraine. in a village outside reading, i saw a post about the ukrainian nationalflower, the ukrainian national flower, the sunflower. ukrainian nationalflower, the sunflower. that's another example of what ukraine means to a lot of people. both ukrainians and the global community are now discovering or rediscovering what it is to be ukrainian in the face of this brutal onslaught, brutalaggression. vitaly, it's always been wonderful talking to you throughout the course of the last year because your expertise and knowledge and personal interest, of course, good to see you here this morning, thank you.

and there's a special programme this evening from ukrainecast and newsnight. ukraine — one year on. victoria derbyshire will be hearing from of an audience of ukrainians living in the uk, assessing the year of conflict and the country's future. that's live on the iplayer from 6.45 this evening, on newsnight at 10.30pm on bbc2 and as a podcast on bbc sounds. the time now is 7:42am. the weather is coming up but right now mike has got all of the sport for us. goad got all of the sport for us. good morning- _ got all of the sport for us. good morning- we — got all of the sport for us. good morning. we are _ got all of the sport for us. good morning. we are looking i got all of the sport for us. good morning. we are looking ahead to the europa league last 16 draw. it was a statement win last night for manchester united in the europa league, knocking out a barcelona team who are runaway leaders in spain, and hadn't lost since october. but after the tactical masterclass in the second half, erik ten hag's united are now one of the favourites to win the europa league, along with arsenal. both will find out who they'll face in the round of 16 later today. going into the second half last night though, manchester united were heading out, trailing to a first half penalty.

but the comeback was made in brazil. fred with the accuracy to level the tie at 3—3 on aggregate and then it was his compatriot, antony, who'd come on at half time, who grabbed the headlines and sent old trafford wild. so four trophies are still possible this season, starting with the league cup final against newcastle on sunday. now cricket, and england's men have a 2—0 series win against new zealand in their sights, after a brilliant recovery on the opening day of the second test in wellington. it didn't look that way early on, as england lost their opening batters cheaply and were teetering on 21—3. after that, joe root steadied the side, with an unbeaten century, but that was over shadowed by harry brook, swash buckling his way towards the double century. england closing the day on 315—3. it's a big day for england's women, they face hosts south africa in the semi—finals of the t20 world cup. the winners will face defending champions australia, who'll be playing in their seventh consecutive final in this competition. two of england's stars

are the married couple katherine and nat sciver—bru nt. they've been talking tojo currie, about the challenge of today's match. england's form at this world cup has been on an uphill trajectory. their unbeaten run to today's semifinal has seen them beat records along the way. they are now preparing to take on hosts south africa for the place in the final. but for two of england's most experienced players, who happened to be married to each other, they are relishing the challenge. it's going to be a dogfight. they are very passionate, and they fight till the last ball. and they wear all their emotions all over them, pretty much like me. maybe i'm south african somehow. i'm excited about the spectacle, and actually being at the ground the other day and hearing the national anthem, it gave me goose bumps. i'm sure i'll be getting that again. what kind of form is nat in right now? she's one of those people where, in the last sort of year and a half, two years, she's gone out to bat and some people have been like,

what wicket is she playing on? because i've just found that really hard and then she goes and hits a four on the first ball. nat is just nat being nat. i'm really proud of her, the team are all really proud of her. she deserves everything she has had this year. does she say this sort of stuff to you at home off camera? no, i don't, actually! no! little snippets. may be in a christmas card or a birthday card. it's difficult because we both play for england, and we both are here to do a job for our team and contribute to england winning games of cricket. but when one of you is going well and the other one is struggling, how does that work with you? katherine is always very good at showing her emotions outwardly. so i always know how she is feeling. she doesn't always know how i'm feeling because i'm a bit more of the closed book on that sort of front. go through ups and downs, being there for each other and being the rock, if you want to not talk and not do anything, and if you do want to talk

and if you want to get through and work through something or whatever it is, we are there for each other. what would it mean for you to finish lifting that trophy once more? what will be will be and i will be happy with what i've done either way. i'lljust be really happy with where i am, where this team is, the experience i'm having, and just being grateful for being here for as long as i have, win, lose or draw. a great story, that starts up 1pm, that's very distracting, that amazing sunshine in cape town. it takes you to paradise for a brief moment. in takes you to paradise for a brief moment. . .., . , �* , moment. in direct contrast, let's head to the _ moment. in direct contrast, let's head to the weather _ moment. in direct contrast, let's head to the weather but - moment. in direct contrast, let's head to the weather but it i moment. in direct contrast, let's head to the weather but it has i moment. in direct contrast, let's i head to the weather but it has been reasonably dry in some areas? yes, february must be drier —— recruit might be one of the driest of the winter months, december, january and february, the ground here in essex looks parched and i'm not surprised because we have only had a smidge of the amount of rain

we should have had. in ipswich, only 4% of the normal rainfall. only the far north of scotland has been above average. if i show you the forecast for how much rain we will see through the rest of the month into the start of march, not a lot at all. huge swathes of areas kept in green where we are going to see little if any rainfall whatsoever. the dry spell will continue. high pressure is in charge sitting right above us as we go through the coming days and into next week keeping things dry across much of the uk. one or two exceptions here and there, and one of them is today, we have a weather front pushing north —— south at the moment. an area of cloud and rain pushing south across northern england and then through the midlands, wales and east anglia, but it means the most of you we will

see sunny spells more widely into the rest of the day. a breeze in northern and eastern areas coming from a northerly direction means it will feel a bit colder than those temperatures suggest even though those in the face of it up a degree or two on yesterday. the breeze gets stronger tonight across eastern scotland and england, bringing the odd shower in and whilst they will be very few in number, the ones we do see over the hills might be on their wintry site. the most it is a dry night and across western areas, it clears the skies. a widespread frost into tomorrow morning at the start of your weekend. a cold start to saturday but it will be a dry one, this is that area of high pressure i mentioned. but only on the fringes of it, so this is where we will see the windiest weather on the edge of the high pressure. some cloud to begin with in scotland, some sleet on the tops of hills, but

the cloud expands wet so after a sunny start in western areas, a bit more cloud into the afternoon. western scotland, northern ireland and western wales staying largely dry. seven or 8 degrees at the highest, feeling cold in the wind in the east, two or three degrees in the east, two or three degrees in the winter chill. high pressure continues to build but around the english channel the breeze will pick up english channel the breeze will pick up touch in gale force for one or two. a cloudy start across eastern counties but that cloud will expand so fairly similar to saturday. one or two isolated showers but for the vast majority dry with a few glances of sunshine, still feeling chilly. we continue that theme into next week. there's a double treat on bbc one tonight for fans of the caribbean police drama death in paradise. it's the season finale at 9pm, but before that there's a new spinoff series called beyond paradise, which is filmed in cornwall but set in devon. it's about di humphrey goodman who left saint marie a few years ago

and is now solving crimes in the fictional town of shipton abbott, where he lives with long—term love interest martha. you're that new fella at shipton station everyone is talking about. yes, yes i am. so what are they saying? a bit odd. why shipton abbott? martha, my fiance, was born here. just try not to create any more havoc. i just prefer good old—fashioned policing. everything is not quite what it seems. we were trying to prove something that never actually happened. back on the case! we're joined now by sally bretton, who playes martha, and barbara flynn, who plays her mum anne. good anne. morning to you. sadly, i was thinking, good morning to you. sadly, i was thinking, to go from the caribbean orfictional thinking, to go from the caribbean or fictional caribbean to devon and cornwall, that it was a pillar trade—off but a chilly seeing those images, what a part of the world. —— it was a poor trade—off but it was actually beautiful. i it was a poor trade-off but it was actually beautiful.— it was a poor trade-off but it was actually beautiful. i didn't realise how beautiful _ actually beautiful. i didn't realise how beautiful it _ actually beautiful. i didn't realise how beautiful it was, _ actually beautiful. i didn't realise

good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. our headlines today... explosion. on the first anniversary of russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine, the united nations calls for an immediate withdrawal of troops. ukraine is still a country fighting for its very survival in a war showing no signs of ending soon. full blood amay putin, the invasion of ukraine — full blood amay putin, the invasion of ukraine hasn't gone at all according to plan. no signs of regret. — according to plan. no signs of regret. he _ according to plan. no signs of regret, he seems determined to push

on for— regret, he seems determined to push on for victory. a fourth man is arrested in connection with the shooting of an off—duty police officer in omagh. detective chief inspectorjohn caldwell suffered life—changing injuries in the attack. convicted criminals could be forced into court from their cells, or face longerjail terms if they refuse to appear for sentencing. and there it is. the crazy gang have beaten the culture club. and tributes to the voice of football on the bbc — john motson — who's died at the age of 77. after the drama comes the draw today for the last 16 of the europa league, with manchester united joining arsenal in the hat, after a stunning second half fight back, at old trafford, to knock out barcelona. most of us will brighten up later. it has on that and the weekend forecast right here on breakfast.

it's friday, the 24th of february. our main story. the united nations general assembly has overwhelmingly backed a resolution condemning russia's invasion of ukraine, which took place exactly a year ago. the motion — which calls for the withdrawal of troops from ukraine and a halt to fighting — was backed by 1m nations with 32 abstaining and seven, including russia, voting against. our correspondent james waterhouse has been looking back at 12 months of terror, destruction — and defiance — for the people of ukraine. a thud, marking the moment when ukraine and the world... ..changed forever. a much bigger land grab. we've just heard a siren go off for the first time. we haven't heard that before. after months of buildup, 150,000 russian soldiers crossed the border. millions headed the other way. a country under attack with its

people caught in the middle. where russia retreated, horrors were revealed. ukraine's president became a wartime leader. his video addresses now a nightly ritual. moscow is still framing this as a defensive war. translation: today, once again, we are in grave danger. _ using ukraine, the collective west is seeking to dismember russia to deprive it of its independence. these attempts are doomed to fail. the united nations has voted to demand russia stops its invasion. today, the uk is going to urge countries to support ukraine for as long as it takes. for now, in the west, there is broad unity but that could change, the longer this war goes on.

ukraine has reclaimed some of what was taken, like here in kherson. complete liberation is a long way off. ina in a moment we will speak to our russia editor, live in moscow. james waterhouse joins us now from kyiv. here we are one year on. remarkable it is still going and you are standing in what is a free city. it is a free city, far from being a free country. i and others expected russian soldiers to be wondering the streets of kyiv. despite everything, despite a defence that has shocked the world, it remains the underdog. i remember it being a gathering

geopolitical crisis in the weeks leading up to the invasion whether political language was becoming more tense. being inside kyiv, inside ukraine, it felt like he were in a bubble. ukrainians are used to walk me they had been in a warfor eight years already against russian aggression. presidents are lenski was saying, do not panic, you are playing into russian hands. —— presidents are lenski. on that morning, in the blink of ni, vladimir putin did what at the time is relatively unthinkable. ukraine has forever been changed by that decision. as this wall has gone on, we had gradually learned what has happened in some areas. that will still be the case. we have seen overwhelming evidence of war crimes, whole cities and communities destroyed and civilians, time and again, finding themselves in harm's

way. it is understandable when people want to know where the war will go. at this moment in time, the idea of any peace negotiation is hard to visualise because where do you find a compromise? both sides are signalling that is not the current state of affairs. secondly, an incredibly static phase of fighting in a military sense where both sides are trying to seize the initiative. it equates to a conflict thatis initiative. it equates to a conflict that is costly and just about every way and a conflict showing no signs of easing. big way and a conflict showing no signs of easinu. �* , ., , . ., of easing. big questions around where we go — of easing. big questions around where we go from _ of easing. big questions around where we go from here. i of easing. big questions around where we go from here. thank| of easing. big questions around i where we go from here. thank you. our russia editor steve rosenberg is in moscow. i know you could hear whatjames was saying about the past 12 months and how ukraine is defiant, even now. then looking ahead to what might happen next. tell us what you hear from moscow and what signs they are from moscow and what signs they are from blood amay putin?

often on state television rash that never starts wars, we only finish them. so many people i have spoken to in the last you months have repeated that. the messaging is extremely powerful. it persuades many people to accept the kremlin narrative it is a just war. perhaps they do not like it. there is a feeling among many people, our country right or wrong. it shows vladimir putin has quite a lot of support at the moment for what he calls his special military operation.— calls his special military o eration. , . , operation. the pictures we where showina a operation. the pictures we where showing a few — operation. the pictures we where showing a few moments i operation. the pictures we where showing a few moments ago i operation. the pictures we where | showing a few moments ago were president zelensky giving an address at moments ago in kyiv. we will be joined by jeremy bowen later on in the

programme. a fourth man has been arrested after an off—duty police officer was shot multiple times in northern ireland. detective chief inspectorjohn caldwell was targeted by two gunmen after coaching children at football in omagh on wednesday. our ireland correspondent chris page joins us from belfast. chris, what can you tell us about dci caldwell�*s condition, and the investigation? another step in the investigation overnight. a full suspect was arrested. he is 22 years old. he is being questioned at a police station in belfast. three other suspects were arrested yesterday. as regards the condition of the detective chief inspector, he is still being treated in hospital, in londonderry, where he has had an operation. he is in a critical but stable condition. there has been a great outpouring of support, not least among his colleagues at the

headquarters of the police service of northern ireland in belfast. he was an extremely popular member of the police service. he had been coaching football, leading footballs into the back of his car with his son when he was shot on wednesday night. we were hearing when he fell to the ground, he was shouting to dozens of other children who were there to run, get away for their safety. many people saying that is a measure of the man and his bravery. later today leaders of the five main political parties in northern ireland will meet the chief constable, a show of political unity, a demonstration that politicians in northern ireland are well behind the peace process and they were not allowed to allow groups like the new ira to throw the peace process of course. —— off

course. the disgraced hollywood film producer harvey weinstein has been sentenced to a further 16 years in prison after he was found guilty of raping a woman in 2013. the 70—year—old is already serving a 23—year sentence for a separate conviction. he called the latest case a "setup" before pleading with the court for leniency. thejustice secretary dominic raab has said convicted criminals could get longer sentences if they refuse to appear in court — and he's not ruled out the possibility of them being physically dragged from their cells. it comes after a meeting with the family of zara aleena, who was murdered byjordan mcsweeney last year. he was jailed for 38—years, but chose not to be in the dock for sentencing, which zara's family described as "a slap in the face." nominations for the snp leadership race will close later today, with three candidates expected to appear on the ballot papers. health secretary humza yousaf, finance secretary kate forbes and former community safety minister ash regan have all put themselves forward to be the next party leader and first minister of scotland, replacing nicola sturgeon. the ballot will open

it's dramatic, it's delightful. it's denmark who are the european champions. and still ricky villa. what a fantastic run, he scores! amazing goal by ricky villa! and england are out of the world cup. west germany are through to the final on penalty kicks. radford again, oh, what a goal! what a goal! radford the scorer, ronnie radford. and the crowd, the crowd are invading the pitch. and now it will take some time to clear the field. joining us now is match of the day commentator guy mowbray and chairman of crystal palace steve

and proud to be able to have his last official commentary game. it was a very poignant occasion. looking back, a fantastic privilege to have been able to have done that. what we are learning about him this morning, even until the end of his career, he was fastidious in picking up career, he was fastidious in picking up fresh detail, fresh facts, fresh trivia. he put himself under a lot of pressure to get it right. he alwa s of pressure to get it right. he: always did. absolutely meticulous. his attention to detail is always something we try to follow. not only that, it is when to use the facts. he said if you do not use 95% of what you have prepared, it means it is a really good game, do not force it in. know when to add to the pictures. he was brilliant at that. he set the tone of how we do it today. he was not always the easiest

character, so dedicated to what he did. he did not like being interrupted during his commentary. one famous anecdote from a world cup, it would go into extra time and it was penalties, he was getting constant reminders from the editor informing people the news was going to be late. tell people then use would follow but it would be late. after this he got exasperated. he would say, this is the news. a big world cup game, he was right again. so interesting hearing these little anecdotes. over the years, you presumably get fads and commentating quite like you do in the news or entertainment where people bring in different styles, he seems to have been one who has enjoyed. his style, his pace, his knowledgejust worked across literally decades. his pace, his knowledge 'ust worked across literally decades.i across literally decades. pace,

about knowing when to speak and when not to speak. you're going to hear some beautiful and very soothing music shortly — which is all the more remarkable for the story behind it. it's performed by two orchestras — one from bournemouth and one from gateshead — for musicians with disabilities. they use a blend of traditional instruments and electronic ones, developed specifically for musicians with impairments. simon marks went along to the rehearsals. rehearsing at lighthouse in poole, two ensembles from the bournemouth symphony orchestra and the royal northern sinfonia. both are inclusive, led by disabled musicians, and they've come together for a ground—breaking performance. they've been working together for the last year, really, collaborating, exploring. there are an absolute range of very different access needs that people have in the room and we work all together as individuals to learn and listen to each other. the bso's inclusive ensemble is called bso resound and siobhan plays lead violin.

the magical thing about resound is that we all work in different ways than what would be deemed as normal or customary. so for instance, i hold my violin slightly on the side. i kind of tilt my head and press my violin right into my neck to feel the vibrations. today, clarence is a member of rns moves based in gateshead. his musicaljourney began three decades ago when he played trumpet with the b50 here in poole, alongside his friend pete, who's here to welcome him back. clarence is the most positive person you could ever meet. we're all very proud of what he's achieved. i had my accident a couple of years after leaving here, really? i was laying in intensive care at some point, being kept alive by machines. and so from that position, to think that us two still could be, you know, in the same building and all of that is remarkable.

clarence now plays an instrument which was developed especially for him. it's called headspace, and he plays it by moving his head and blowing into a tube. at the heart of it is a computer, which gives clarence the option to bring all kinds of new sounds into the music. yeah, and it's getting the audiences used to accepting those new sounds on the classical stage. and so far, so good. nobody's throwing any tomatoes at me! the concert opens with a new piece — falling, composed by kate whitley. she worked with the musicians to incorporate the electronic instruments and give the whole orchestra a remarkable creative freedom. if they want to just make up and play whatever they want, they can do, which they sometimes do! so it's a mixture between following some pre—set things and having total flexibility to play whatever you want. it's completely an opportunity, not a limitation. i think it's going to the point that we can have whole orchestras

that are inclusive groups, and ifeel like the potential of where that could lead is incredible. the performance was recorded and it's available to watch via the bso's streaming service. look for "musical change—makers" on the website bsolive.com. access inclusion music is for everyone. no individual needs to be excluded. it's quite easy to make adaptation. disabled young people who don't have a voice and they say they cannot do music. and then i show up and play my instrument. don't let yourself be held back by the status quo. keep being brave. keep pushing for what you need. that was simon marks reporting. breakfast is on bbc one until a quarter—past nine, when morning live takes over. coming up on morning live... as we've been hearing on breakfast,

today marks one year since russia invaded ukraine. and amongst the devastation, there are remarkable stories of resilience. we'll be chatting to ukrainian strictly pro, nikita kuzmin, about how his family and friends are living in fear everyday. and we hear the incredible acts of courage they've shown over the last 12 months. also on the show today, so many women rely on hormone replacement therapy to help them through the menopause. dr punam's here with news of a scheme that could help slash the cost of hrt. i'll tell you how 400,000 patients in england will be able to get a prescription prepayment certificate, saving them £200 a year and explain why it's so important for women to talk openly about their symptoms. plus, it's pothole season, j so we're investigating just how dangerous they can be | for road users, and find out why you should never be i tempted to fix one yourself. also, if you're feeling short changed by a shop, or fobbed off for a faulty product, our consumer agony aunt, mavis ackerley, is sorting your complaints

to get money back in your pocket. and her moves won't cost a thing but are always worth it! nancy xu has our final strictly fitness of the week! see you at 9.15am. may i say those golden boots are marvellous. beautiful! we like your neutral trainers as well. thank you. but not quite so much, to be honest. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london with me, alison earle. ukrainians who are making a new life in london say they're determined that their country and culture aren't forgotten. thousands arrived in the capital after russia's invasion, a year ago today. this ukrainian cafe in twickenham has been helping refugees to settle in. i'm from a small

village near to kyiv. when the war started, my village was destroyed for 70%. almost all houses. and when i saw this, i felt horrible but life is continuing. almost all houses. and when i saw this, i felt horrible but life is continuing. i'm trying to make a new life here. it's like, there is a life before and after. there is nothing in between. and life as we knew it ended on the 24th. meanwhile, westminster council has announced the street outside the russian embassy will be renamed "kyiv road" after similar steps were taken in other european cities. it comes after campaigners painted the area in front of the embassy in notting hill in the colours of the ukrainian flag. four people have been arrested. new data suggests the number of miles covered by bus services in london has fallen by 12 million since 2016. the research by the liberal democrats suggests more than 11

hundred vehicles were taken out of operation in the past seven years. a spokesperson for the mayor of london said he has "a strong track record on prioritising bus services". here's something you don't see everyday along the thames. a fleet of nato warships are making a rare visit to the capital. they're from norway, estonia, germany and the netherlands and specialise in clearing mines from the seas of northern europe. they're spending the next few days moored near hms belfast and we're being told to expect crowds. travel now and let's see how the tube is looking at the moment. there are minor delays on thejubilee line. and a good service on all other lines. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it's a cold start this morning and a largely cloudy one as well. we'll see some outbreaks of rain coming and going through the course of today. a couple of weather fronts, first a warm front bringing patchy light rain and drizzle, then a cold front through the afternoon, staying cloudy but gradually the rain and cloud starts to clear.

we should end the day with a little bit of sunshine. temperatures reaching nine or 10 celsius. with that cold front clearing, behind it it is going to feel quite chilly. overnight it's dry and largely clear, the minimum down to —1. bit of a breeze preventing too much in the way of frost but we still could see a patch or two. high pressure in charge as we head through saturday, we'll get a bright start, bit of sunshine first thing tomorrow morning but we'll see the cloud moving in from the east for the rest of the day. with that, one or two isolated showers. breezy too, a north north—easterly breeze, so it is going to feel chilly. just six or seven celsius the maximum. similar conditions for sunday and high pressure remains in charge. it stays fairly quiet into the first part of next week. there's lots more on our website and social media including the 10—year fighting pollution with his new book. that's it for now, i'm back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with

charlie stayt and nina warhurst. a year on from the start of the conflict in ukraine, let's take a look at the true cost of the war. in terms of the number of people killed, it's massively disputed. estimates from the uk ministry of defence for the number of russians killed ranges from a0 to 60,000. russia denies that. more than 20,000 ukrainians are known to have died according to the government and the un, but that figure is believed to be much higher. as many as 8 million ukrainian refugees have been recorded across europe though some have now returned. currently, 4.8 million ukrainians are in temporary protection schemes. this map shows where they've gone, and how many have fled to each country. russia has claimed 2.8 million ukrainians have fled east across its border,

but the un has not been able to verify this. a year ago, before the invasion, the only occupied territories in ukraine were luhansk and donetsk in the east, held by russian—backed separatists. just weeks later, large parts of the south, east, and north of ukraine were under russian military control. but ukraine has fought back thanks to artillery from europe and the us, and seized back much of the north, but russia still occupies large parts of the east. let's speak now to our international editor, jeremy bowen who is in kyiv. jeremy, a year ago today, how did you think things would pan out, did you think things would pan out, did you think things would pan out, did you think you would be standing in the remains of a city? the expectation _ the remains of a city? the expectation on _ the remains of a city? the expectation on all i the remains of a city? the expectation on all sides i the remains of a city? ire expectation on all sides except perhaps for the ukrainian military itself was that it would all be over very quickly, that there would be

russian tanks

going to the streets of the city within a week. it didn't work out that way. and now russia has made a very costly error, it has called in this brutal war of attrition. if you go back to the first gulf war, that was a lopsided confrontation so far as there were sophisticated military is from the west coming in on a much less sophisticated enemy and that was reflected in casualty figures as well. and in the speed of a result. it is much more even here, and that is why it is so difficult and dangerous and long lasting and also there is another factor. dangerous and long lasting and also there is anotherfactor. because dangerous and long lasting and also there is another factor. because the world's big military powers are involved, nucleararmed world's big military powers are involved, nuclear armed powers, world's big military powers are involved, nucleararmed powers, it has notjust european implications, but potentially global applications as well. and there is that fact that president putin has rattled the nuclear sabre, and while you might

say that is more theatrical political than anything, he has got those weapons, and even discussing them has in the past been quite a tibial. , , ., ., them has in the past been quite a tibial. , , ., them has in the past been quite a tibial, , ., . tibial. jeremy, good morning. we were 'ust tibial. jeremy, good morning. we were just -- _ tibial. jeremy, good morning. we were just -- has _ tibial. jeremy, good morning. we were just -- has been _ tibial. jeremy, good morning. we were just -- has been quite - tibial. jeremy, good morning. we were just -- has been quite a - tibial. jeremy, good morning. we i were just -- has been quite a taboo. were just —— has been quite a taboo. we werejust seeing were just —— has been quite a taboo. we were just seeing a few moments ago, president zelensky addressing the crowd in kyiv, talking about defeating all threats, saying, we are stronger than all of this, year of endurance, compassion, bravery, year of pain, hope, perseverance, a year of pain, hope, perseverance, a year of pain, hope, perseverance, a year of unity and a year of invincibility. i noticed you said a moment ago that you can see no route to victory. ijust moment ago that you can see no route to victory. i just wonder, moment ago that you can see no route to victory. ijust wonder, a question a lot of people ask is, how can there be a route to peace? both sides believe _ can there be a route to peace? both sides believe that _ can there be a route to peace? both sides believe that the _ can there be a route to peace? exit? sides believe that the way ahead is through wedding. they both think they can win on the battlefield. putin in his state of the union address the other day said that russia will not lose on the

battlefield. in other words, they are ready for a non—conflict and they can outlast everybody. there is a route that you can radio and some in day to believe if they can get —— that ukraine and some in day to believe if they can get the offensive weapons they want. but the place where they are getting through is in the moments where russian defence is pretty thin in the north and north—east of the country in the autumn. since then the russians have mobilised an awful lot of troops and despite all of those modern nato weapons, they don't get, and the ukrainians would say this, they don't have the combat punch to get through and beat them on the battlefield. that's why they want those tanks which they are getting now, that's where they also want long—range artillery from the americans which they are not getting yet, and they also want a sophisticated air force and they are not getting that either.—

not getting that either. jeremy, in keith, very _ not getting that either. jeremy, in keith. very many _ not getting that either. jeremy, in keith, very many thanks. -- - not getting that either. jeremy, in keith, very many thanks. -- in - not getting that either. jeremy, in l keith, very many thanks. -- in kyiv. the war has brought death and destruction and displaced millions of civilians, but we've also seen the kindness and humanity of those who are supporting families in need. breakfast�*sjohn maguire has caught up with some of the people who have shared their stories with us. reports of explosions across ukraine. the latest russian bombardments had hit yet more homes. russia's president vladimir putin has ordered what he calls a military operation into eastern ukraine. russia's response will be immediate. we don't understand why putin does it. i we need help from world. glory to our defenders, both male and female. glory to ukraine. one year ago this morning, we woke to the news that russia had invaded its neighbour and once again war had returned to europe.

when power, phone lines and air raids allow, tanya is able to talk to and see her parents in ukraine. her father makes these candles for air raid shelters. others make camouflage netting in the local community centre. it's everyday life when you're at war. it's sirens, air raids every day. it's very difficult with uncertainty. children are not in school. it's... life is so upended. country at war. my dad, to me, "putin has started the war." two minutes later, "explosions, tanya, explosions." we first met tanya last march. she's lived in the uk for 15 years and has helped members of her family flee the fighting. they didn't need persuading because russian bombs persuaded

them they need to do it. you can't go for a walk even when you hear the siren. you need to go back home. so it's quite a difficult life for children. that's why when tanya said that some people wanted to help us, we decided to go. hannah is on the parents' committee of her son's school. here it is, severely damaged by russian attacks. so alex goes to school here in the uk but also keeps up with lessons in ukraine online. he misses home. i remember like the 23rd february when i walk with my friends and... "that was the best day," he said. they had...they had pizza that day with his friends. and he was so lucky.

then 24 february started. they are safe, but family and friends in ukraine are farfrom it. we also met yulia early last spring. she too has lived in the uk for several years. her husband, martin, has ukrainian heritage. the war is far from their home here in bolton, but feels very close in their hearts and their minds. it's not easy at all because we spend most of the time checking the news and just following what's happening in ukraine. my grandma and my uncle are still there, so we do worry. it's been, like, a horrifying year. i've heard terrible stories of what has happened to both where i've been, where i've stayed, my friends who live there, that they've been

spending time in bomb shelters. their children attend a ukrainian cultural school on saturdays. they have done ever since they were very young. but over the past year it's doubled in size, with children coming to the uk to escape danger. there's people in my class, there's a girl from mariupol and it'sjust, like, she's seen this, she's lived through this. i think she's escaped death about five times. like, it'sjust horrifying. and these children have been mentally scarred for life by this experience, like, it's painful to see. explosion. air raid siren. we're thinking about what we're going to do on the coronation weekend.

many without a direct connection to ukraine are also doing what they can to help. in the village of tockwith in north yorkshire, the church is [it in ukrainian blue and yellow to show solidarity. they've raised £25,000 and are helping refugees in poland who are staying in a home now proudly called tockwith house. we felt there was a need, the people wanted to feel they were doing something community to community. and that was, that was a very important ethos for us right from the start. this community to community. we're a small village, we're a small group of people. how can we directly help another small group of people? the past year has seen death and destruction fired by inhumanity at its very worst, but also kindness and hope derived from humanity at its very best. john maguire, bbc news.

it was all about their brilliant brazilians, fred with the equlaliser to level the tie at 3—3 on aggregate, and then it was his compatriot antony who'd come on at half time who grabbed the headlines. barcelona who are runaway leaders in spain, out, while four trophies are still possible this season for erik ten hag's side, starting with the league cup final against newcastle on sunday. a little bit of breaking football news, and southampton have just announced they have given their interim manager, ruben selles, the reigns until the end of the season, his reward for their win at chelsea last week. tomorrow they can move off the bottom of the premier league if they can win at leeds, the team just above them.. now cricket and england's men are heading to bed in new zealand in confident mood after a brilliant recovery on the opening day of the second test in wellington. early on though, england were in trouble. an openers' batting collapse, and they were struggling on 21—3. but then came the experience ofjoe root who steadied the side with an unbeaten century and that was bettered by harry brook smashing his way

towards a double century. england closing the day on 315—3 as they look to wrap up the series 2—0. meanwhile, it's a big day for england's women, as they face hosts south africa in the semi—finals of the t20 world cup. two of england's most experienced players are the married couple katherine and nat sciver—brunt. they're relishing the challenge of facing the hosts in cape town. england are looking to secure the title for the first time since the inaugrual tournament in 2009. defending champion australia await the winners in the final which will be on sunday. now the hollywood owners of wrexham, ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney, are set to actually fans needn't worry though. it won't scupper their chances of getting promoted in the football league, but the on pitch debuts will be in a "soccer tournament�* in the usa injune. the actors and directors, will be in the squad alongside some

gust of the wind very strong. there will be so much rain, half a years worth it for the uk, at once. it is a story of flooding which i'm sure we will hear more about this weekend and this week. back to our shores, the cloud is pushing south, bringing some rain or drizzle across parts of rain and —— eastern scotland and eastern england. some the lighter rain not showing on the radar but it could be damp and murky. scotland and northern england quickly brightening up to this morning, sunny spells more widely. the brighter weather through east anglia parts this afternoon. maybe the west and northern ireland holding onto a bit more clout. for many of you, a dry and bright afternoon with some sunny spells, a keen northerly breeze. desperately cold at this stage but it will temper the field. temperatures look a bit above where we have been, but it will feel a bit

cooler especially down the eastern coasts given the strength of the wind which will strengthen further through tonight. could bring one or two showers to eastern counties of england, they will fall as rain but it will be a little bit of sleet and snow on the hills. most of the country dry with clearer skies. a widespread frost into the start of the weekend to start with. we will see dry weather through saturday and into next week, we are on the edge of the high pressure and down the eastern flank of that, we have some strong winds. a windy day in eastern scotland and england, and towards the south—east. a few bits of cloud and showers, wintry over higher ground but the cloud will develop more widely through the day. sunny start for many, a cloudy afternoon and the best of the sunshine in western scotland and northern ireland and the far west of wales and south—west england. temperature seven or 8 degrees at the highest,

two or three in the eastern areas because of the strength of the wind. the wind will ease full sum in the east as the high pressure builds but then the strongest of the wince transfer to the south. a windy day, in the south—east, patchy cloud and eastern areas developing more widely into the afternoon. an isolated shower cannot be ruled out, most places will be dry but feeling rather chilly in the breeze. high pressure holds on into next week. we finish february into march on a dry note, it shifts position a little bit but always the strongest of the windows on the southern edge, southern counties of england and into the channel isles. a breezy speu into the channel isles. a breezy spell to come, one or two isolated showers but it will be overall dry. amateurs around where they should be in early march but southern areas with the strong wind will feel a bit cooler. enjoy your plans for this weekend. cooler. en'oy your plans for this weekend. ., ., cooler. en'oy your plans for this weekend. . ., ., , ~ weekend. have a lovely weekend, thank you- —
