car horns hoot. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. well, earlier this morning volodymyr zelensky gave this message to the people of ukraine on the anniversary of the russian invasion. translation: great nation - of ukraine, a year ago on this day, from this same place, at around seven in the morning, i addressed you with a brief statement, lasting only 67 seconds. we will defeat all threats, shelling, bombs, missiles, kamikaze drones, blackouts, cold. we are stronger than all of this. it was a year of endurance, a year of compassion, a year of bravery, a year of pain, a year of hope, a year of perseverance, a year of unity, a year of invincibility. a fierce year of invincibility. its main conclusion is that we have survived, we have not been defeated, and we will do everything

to win this year. 0ur ukraine correspondent james waterhouse is in kyiv. james, hello to you, you have been there since day one, i want to be gained by asking you for your reflections about the past 12 months? ~ ~ , months? well, i think it is the chain of events _ months? well, i think it is the chain of events that _ months? well, i think it is the chain of events that have - months? well, i think it is the - chain of events that have resulted from that one order, that one decision, by vladimir putin, to launch a full—scale invasion. until that point, many ukrainians were used to being at war, moscow had backed militants in the east of the country, it had taken over crimea without firing a shot. it is a country that has been used to being under threat. country that has been used to being underthreat. but country that has been used to being under threat. but i think the speed at which, even with the gathering of troops over so many months, even though the west wasn't saying it was

going to come, it was the speed and the shock for so many that was felt inside ukraine which i think will stay with me. seeing people realising what was happening to their loved ones in other parts of their loved ones in other parts of the country, seeing their homes destroyed, and all the swirling reports of armoured columns moving in and what we have seen, and it is almost like a cycle, is, where there is liberation, where the tide of conflict retreats, you're left with a footprint of either occupation, where you have destruction, where you have the deliberate targeting of civilians, you see that over and over, and i think in some occupied areas, we may not find out for some timejust areas, we may not find out for some time just what has happened there over the past 12 months. now, ukraine isn't going to give up, that is clear, it is engaged in this war for the past nine years. the help it has it has received has been pivotal

in its fight, but it is clear for ukraine, and when you speak to people, it's about survival. and so with any kind of diplomatic solution looking pretty distant, too, i think this is a conflict which we could well be talking about this time next year. well be talking about this time next ear. , . , well be talking about this time next ear, , ., , ., well be talking about this time next ear. , ., , ., ., ., year. yes, that is a thought that eo - le year. yes, that is a thought that peeple keep _ year. yes, that is a thought that people keep returning _ year. yes, that is a thought that people keep returning to. - year. yes, that is a thought that people keep returning to. for. year. yes, that is a thought that l people keep returning to. for how long is this going to continue? are we in this for the long run? and of course, the conflict in the wider region has been going on for much longer than this one year anniversary that we are talking about, james?— anniversary that we are talking about, james? . �* , . ., about, james? that's right. we are in the midst _ about, james? that's right. we are in the midst of— about, james? that's right. we are in the midst of a _ about, james? that's right. we are in the midst of a war _ about, james? that's right. we are in the midst of a war of _ about, james? that's right. we are in the midst of a war of attrition, . in the midst of a war of attrition, where russia has already started its spring offensive in russia has mobilised hundreds of thousands of men to join its fight, and those mobilised hundreds of thousands of men tojoin its fight, and those men are finding themselves on the battlefield in an incredibly short space of time, it has more equipment, it has more howitzers, for example, tanks, armoured vehicles, which it is throwing at the frontline. this time last year,

vladimir putin played his 18, his best trained troops were sent in, that original pool of soldiers has been severely depleted, so we are seeing mobilised menjoining the fight, but that is now russia's main strength, its size. while ukraine is more motivated, while it has more modern equipment and better training, it is still the underdog, so, when we are in this scenario now where russia is throwing everything at ukraine, the defending troops are having to try to hold the line for as long as possible, until the arrival of more western hardware, like tanks, which it sees as key in breaking the deadlock. but the current state of things does not favour ukraine because it is unable to sustain big losses, unlike russia. , ., , to sustain big losses, unlike russia. , ., ~ to sustain big losses, unlike russia. , ., , ., ~ , to sustain big losses, unlike russia. , ., ~' , . from kramatorsk in eastern ukraine, our international correspondent 0rla guerinjoins us now.

and you were there a year ago. before we talk about your reflections on the last 12 months, tell us about kramatorsk now, what is happening there?— is happening there? well, we're broadcasting — is happening there? well, we're broadcasting from _ is happening there? well, we're broadcasting from here - is happening there? well, we're broadcasting from here today, l broadcasting from here today, annita, because we wanted to show the viewer is just one example, one recent example, of what russia has been doing here. behind me, there is, orwas, been doing here. behind me, there is, or was, a multi—storey apartment block. this location was hit overnight on the 1st of february by a ballistic, and four residents were killed here. we have been speaking this morning to some of the people who used to live in this apartment block hotel that about how their lives have been torn apart. 0ne elderly woman was in b:o.t, she said she had lived here for 60 years, she herself was injured but rescued by the emergency services here, but you can look at this behind me and you can look at this behind me and you can repeat this notjust across the

east of ukraine, which is very heavily contested, but also in kyiv, also in cities in the south, we have seen this pattern across the country in this year of russia's war, where many, many of the targets have been civilian targets, there is widespread destruction, there are cities and towns that are either deserted or in ruins, and here we are a year on with no indication of when this war might finish, and also, the cold, hard reality here is that russia still controls almost 20% of ukraine, despite a year of very hard fighting by ukrainian forces with the support of western allies. ., forces with the support of western allies. . ., , ., . allies. yet we have heard so much over the past _ allies. yet we have heard so much over the past 12 _ allies. yet we have heard so much over the past 12 months _ allies. yet we have heard so much over the past 12 months about - allies. yet we have heard so much over the past 12 months about the j over the past 12 months about the resolve of the ukrainian people. looking back over that period, and when you first arrived in this part of ukraine, talk to us about your thoughts and feelings of how it was then, compared to now? i

thoughts and feelings of how it was then, compared to now?— thoughts and feelings of how it was then, compared to now? i think there is no doubting — then, compared to now? i think there is no doubting the _ then, compared to now? i think there is no doubting the resolve, _ then, compared to now? i think there is no doubting the resolve, and - is no doubting the resolve, and what's been very clear in the past 12 months he, and this is my fifth visit to ukraine in the past year, is that the war has bred a unity and a determination, and that is not just true on the front lines where people are fighting and risking their lives, it's also true in the cities where people have become volunteers, it's true for many civilians who joined the territorial defence, it's true for doctors and nurses who stayed in their hospitals even though those hospitals were being targeted. so, across this country, the war has had a unifying effect, but also a devastating impact. i woke up here last year on this day last year, just after five in the morning, listening to the sound of explosions, and we suddenly realised that it had begun, that everybody�*s fears had come true. now, some of those in the east at that time were telling us they simply didn't believe it would happen, they couldn't accept that

their russian brothers, as one woman put it, would come across the border and attack. 0thers put it, would come across the border and attack. others were looking at the troop concentration around the borders, more than 100,000 russian troops, and believing that the invasion would come, and i certainly thought it would come, but i thought that vladimir putin would focus on the east. instead he came in from three sides with an offensive that he couldn't really sustain, but as james has said, it's very clear president putin believes that the advantage of time is on his side, he can continue pouring in more troops into this fight, he's not short of men, and i think he believes that he can wear out ukraine's resistance, or if not he can wear out the western support. and i think ukrainians understand that if they do not manage to deliver significant gains on the battlefield in the next three months, then the western attitude may start to change. this will be a decisive period in this war, it has to be a decisive period,

for ukraine. war, it has to be a decisive period, for ukraine-— for ukraine. 0rla guerin in kramatorsk, _ for ukraine. 0rla guerin in kramatorsk, thank - for ukraine. 0rla guerin in kramatorsk, thank you - for ukraine. 0rla guerin in l kramatorsk, thank you very for ukraine. 0rla guerin in - kramatorsk, thank you very much. 0ur eastern european correspondent sarah rainsford is in poland's capital warsaw. sarah, it was poland that saw thousands of ukrainian refugees fleeing ukraine in the early days and weeks, so, poland has had to deal with huge changes as well because of the numbers of people coming in as a result of this conflict, tell us about the situation now, how many ukrainians remain in poland, hoping eventually to return home?— to return home? that's right, annita, millions _ to return home? that's right, annita, millions of— to return home? that's right, j annita, millions of ukrainians crossing the border into poland as this war began and over the months that followed. i was in kramatorsk, where order is now, at the beginning of the war, and i remember in the first days of the fighting, when the explosions were going off, the

absolute terror of people as we saw them packing onto evacuation trains to get away from the front lines, to get away from the war that so many people didn't believe was coming. so at that point it was a shock, it was fear, it was utter disbelief and desperation. but in the months that followed, people continued to leave, some people, though, started to go back to ukraine, and now what we have here in poland is a situation where there are at least a million people who are refugees registered here in this country, many more people who have come through poland and have continued on to other countries like to germany or the uk or elsewhere in europe. and the mood is completely different now, i would say. we met people coming into eastern poland on a train from ukraine just a few days ago and there are farfewer of ukraine just a few days ago and there are far fewer of them now, for a start, but they are still worried, still scared, they believed that vladimir putin could use this anniversary to launch something even more wretched on ukraine, and that is what they were fleeing, they told us, but also there is just this

general weariness, us, but also there is just this generalweariness, depression, gloom over people now, because at the beginning of this, people were fleeing not knowing what lay ahead, thinking hopefully they would be backin thinking hopefully they would be back in a few weeks or months. and now, a year on, people have got no idea when they are going back and they still leaving ukraine. find idea when they are going back and they still leaving ukraine.- they still leaving ukraine. and of course, poland, _ they still leaving ukraine. and of course, poland, part— they still leaving ukraine. and of course, poland, part of- they still leaving ukraine. and of course, poland, part of the - course, poland, part of the international effort to donate tanks, artillery, other weaponry to ukraine, as it continues its fight. what is the view from the government there about this year? we've been hearing that the next few months of the conflict could be absolutely crucial, what is the view from warsaw? i crucial, what is the view from warsaw? ~' ~ ., crucial, what is the view from warsaw? ~' ~ . ., , warsaw? i think here in warsaw, as in the whole — warsaw? i think here in warsaw, as in the whole of _ warsaw? i think here in warsaw, as in the whole of eastern _ warsaw? i think here in warsaw, as in the whole of eastern europe, - in the whole of eastern europe, there is this sense that the war in ukraine, on their border here, isn't going to end soon. poland has been pushing, it is at the front of the diplomatic and political push for more support for ukraine. so, we did see the voice of the polish government being the loudest in

terms of pushing its more reluctant allies to send battle tanks to ukraine and in fact last week we saw ukrainian soldiers here in this country being trained on leopard 2 tanks, which will head across the border to ukraine in the weeks that come. so, people in poland are hoping that that will help turn the tide somewhat or certainly support ukraine in its military efforts on the ground. and then there is a lot of talk here about whether or not fighter jets of talk here about whether or not fighterjets will be sent from europe, from the united states, again, to help perhaps bring about an end to this war more quickly. so, an end to this war more quickly. so, a lot of support for ukraine, but notjust from a lot of support for ukraine, but not just from the a lot of support for ukraine, but notjust from the government here, it is a massive mobilisation of polish society to help ukrainians. it's been quite extraordinary, from taking people into their houses, from donating money, also there is one person i have been speaking to who has been putting armour plating on civilian cars and driving them himself to the frontline in bakhmut,

thatis himself to the frontline in bakhmut, that is how strongly people here in poland feel about the war on their border. in poland feel about the war on their border. a, , . ., ., ,, ., ., border. in moscow, our russia editor steve rosenberg _ border. in moscow, our russia editor steve rosenberg has _ border. in moscow, our russia editor steve rosenberg has the _ border. in moscow, our russia editor steve rosenberg has the latest. - border. in moscow, our russia editor steve rosenberg has the latest. wel steve rosenberg has the latest. we heard a lot from vladimir putin earlier in the week as he made his state of the nation address, he talked about russia's fight against the west, is there likely to be any commentary from the kremlin today on this anniversary? i am commentary from the kremlin today on this anniversary?— this anniversary? i am not expecting that. it is this anniversary? i am not expecting that- it is quite _ this anniversary? i am not expecting that. it is quite interesting, - this anniversary? i am not expecting that. it is quite interesting, the - that. it is quite interesting, the one—year anniversary is not really headline news in russia today, the lunchtime bulletins on state tv are kind of glossing over the fact that president putin's special military operation did not achieve its original goal, in other words, operation did not achieve its original goal, in otherwords, a swift victory. this has not gone

according to plan at all for vladimir putin. his idea was to wrap this up within weeks, expecting that russia would win and then forced ukraine back very quickly into russia's orbit. it didn't work out that way. we've seen heavy russian casualties, president putin has had to break a promise to only use professional soldiers in this, and declare mobilisation, so, hundreds of thousands of russian citizens have been mobilised and drafted into the army. it hasn't gone according to plan. but does he regret launching this invasion? it doesn't seem so. he comes across in his speeches, from all the comments he makes, as someone who is confident that he can secure some kind of victory and determined to push on, whether that means raising the stakes or escalating, he looks like he's prepared to do that, because he's prepared to do that, because he's in this so deep, i think he doesn't believe that he can lose. what pressure to go think china can

bring to bear on what the kremlin is doing, on what vladimir putin is doing? china's foreign ministry has released a series of statements which it you are to help prevent the crisis in ukraine getting out of control, including this sentence... dialogue and negotiation are the only viable way to resolve the ukraine crisis.— only viable way to resolve the ukraine crisis. we've heard that before from _ ukraine crisis. we've heard that before from china. _ ukraine crisis. we've heard that before from china. russia - ukraine crisis. we've heard that before from china. russia and l ukraine crisis. we've heard that - before from china. russia and china are close allies, there is no doubt about it. there is no doubt that china does have a degree of influence over the kremlin. whether china will decide to use that to encourage peace, we will have to wait and see. we simply don't know. all we see at the moment, when we look at vladimir putin, is someone who seems determined to push on in ukraine and secure a victory over ukraine, a literary victory, and over the west.— ukraine, a literary victory, and over the west. ,, . ~' ,

over the west. steve, thank you very much for your— over the west. steve, thank you very much for your thoughts _ over the west. steve, thank you very much for your thoughts on _ over the west. steve, thank you very much for your thoughts on this - over the west. steve, thank you very much for your thoughts on this first l much for your thoughts on this first anniversary. —— a military victory. we have just seen anniversary. —— a military victory. we havejust seen in anniversary. —— a military victory. we have just seen in the last few seconds a message from king charles on this anniversary, in which he condemns what he calls the unprovoked full—scale attack on ukraine. let mejust read unprovoked full—scale attack on ukraine. let me just read you out the statement in a bit more detail. king charles saying... it has now been a year that the people of ukraine have suffered unimaginably from an unprovoked, full—scale attack on their nation. they have shown truly remarkable courage and resilience in the face of such human tragedy. the world has watched in horror at all the unnecessary suffering inflicted upon ukrainians, many of whom i have had a great pleasure of meeting here in the uk andindeed pleasure of meeting here in the uk and indeed across the world, from romania to canada. king charles goes on... earlierthis romania to canada. king charles goes on... earlier this month i met president zelensky at buckingham palace to express my personal support for the people of ukraine. it is heartening that the uk along

with its allies is doing everything possible to help at this most difficult time. and king charles concludes his statement by saying, there i can only hope the outpouring of solidarity from across the globe may bring not only practical aid but also strength from the knowledge that together we stand united. and that together we stand united. and thatis that together we stand united. and that is a statement released from king charles on this first anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. and when russia launched that full—scale invasion year ago, most people expected a very uneven battle and a quick russian victory. it hasn't turned out that way. paul adams was in kyiv when the war began and he looks at the cost of the conflict so far. it's not easy to get your head around the sheer scale of what has happened in ukraine over the past 12 months. this is the biggest conflict in europe since the second world war.

the un reckons that at least 8000 ukrainian civilians have been killed. over 13,000 are injured and those are just the figures we know about. more than 13 million people are homeless. 8 million are now refugees in europe. millions more are still in the country, but not in their homes. the un believes 21 million people, more than half of the country's pre—war population, need help. large parts of eastern and southern ukraine lie in ruins. more than 1,000 educational buildings have been attacked. and more than 750 health care facilities, theatres, libraries and religious buildings have also been targeted. russia's attack was fast. within days of invading, its forces were at the gates of the capital, kyiv. huge chunks of the east and the south where in russian

hands, but ukraine fought back, forcing the kremlin to abandon its attempt to take the capital. and pushing russian forces back, first in the north—east and then in the south, where the city of kherson was liberated. the cost in soldiers' lives has been immense. ukraine is thought to have lost as many as 100,000 dead or wounded. for russia, it's been much worse. as many as 200,000 casualties with a much higher proportion of those killed. the west has sprung to ukraine's defence in one of the most remarkable efforts of its kind ever seen. from anti—tank weapons that began to flood in early on... ..to sophisticated artillery systems that allowed ukraine to go on the offensive and tanks and armoured vehicles that are even now on their way. ukraine's allies have so far promised more than $65 billion of military aid. the united states has been by far the biggest donor. none of this, of course, has brought the warto an end. most people agree that it's likely to go on for a lot

longer, killing even more people and swallowing up vast resources. with no peace process in sight, the cost of this terrible war can only rise. paul adams reporting. and we will have much more on this first anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. but now some other news. 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. 0ur ireland correspondent chris page gave me this update from belfast. the fourth man to be arrested in this investigation was detained coalisland, a town in county tyrone, he is 22, he has been taken to be questioned by detectives at a police station

here in belfast, he has been detained under antiterrorism legislation. three other suspects who were arrested yesterday remain in police custody, they are 38 45 and 47 years old. so, four men now under arrest, detectives investigating the attempted murder of their colleague detective chief inspectorjohn caldwell. really since this happened, about eight o'clock on wednesday night, more details have been gradually emerging about exactly what has unfolded in the car park of a sports complex which was packed at the time with young people particularly training in their sports on a wednesday evening. detective chief inspectorjohn caldwell was loading football's into the back of his car with his son, he had been taking an under 15 football team's coaching session, when he was approached by two

gunmen who opened fire. so, there have been accounts of children running away, detective chief inspectorjohn caldwell apparently shouted at them even when he was being attacked himself to run for their safety. a wave of trauma has been felt, particularly in the community of 0magh since the shooting, and there has been a great deal of revulsion, anger even, expressed about the shooting of the detective and the manner in which it was carried out. the price of pasta has nearly doubled in the uk in two years, as costs rise for a wide range of basic supermarket food items. the bbc�*s been tracking the cost of a small basket of 15 everyday essentials. the total has gone up by £5.34 in two years.

the rate of food price rises is still running at 16.7%. emma simpson has more details. 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 17% and 19% 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. a study by which has also found that price increases for supermarket value foods has far outstripped price rises for premium brands. they say that in january, the average price of value items had risen over 20% compared to the same time last year. we can speak more about this with chef tom kerridge, who has campaigned on the issue of food poverty alongside marcus rashford. tom, good to have you with us today, thanks for your time. we already know that people on lower incomes are more affected by the rise in food prices because they spend a larger proportion of what income they have on food, and then we have this latest news, for someone who has campaigned, campaigns, on food poverty, it's obviously very, very worrying, isn't it?—

worrying, isn't it? yes, it's incredibly _ worrying, isn't it? yes, it's incredibly worrying. - worrying, isn't it? yes, it's incredibly worrying. the i worrying, isn't it? yes, it's i incredibly worrying. the news doesn't seem to be getting any better, and from the report it feels like we have still not reached the peak, whether we talk about it being 17% to 19%, food inflation prices, and that is an average, if you think of the staples, which are hardest hit, pasta has gone up 100%, and it disproportionately hits the more economic each challenged areas and people who struggle with that finances, because if you think pasta, if you think potatoes, if you think rice, couscous, those are the kind of staples that many people live on, whether it's bread, people might have a piece of bread with jam on it and that might be their evening meal because that is all they can afford. and if that has increased by 100% of those really are the differences between people absolutely struggling and then finding themselves in further poverty, using food banks on a much wider scale and finding themselves under a huge amount of pressure not

just financially but mental stress and health as well.— just financially but mental stress and health as well. what do you want to see the government _ and health as well. what do you want to see the government and _ to see the government and supermarkets doing at this point? like your report said, the supply chain is very complex and complicated, there is a huge amount of issues that come in, there is huge issues with importing and also growing our own, in terms of fertiliser, in terms of the actual production methods. but one thing that we can say is that energy prices have gone up for everybody, whether it is personal or business, over threefold, and energy companies are announcing absolutely ginormous, huge profits, over three times what they normally make. there is definitely a link between the two. so, yes, there should be some form of windfall tax i think coming into the energy companies which could proportionally help the people who are less advantaged in terms of

incomes. in terms of the supermarkets and supply chains are all squeezed. everybody is getting squeezed or can the supermarket themselves do more? yes, of course they can. but i do think many of them do quite a lot, they are trying to be socially aware of the situation. some of them are doing lots of things in cafes where kids can eat free or eat for £1. they are trying to keep prices down as much as possible. of course, supermarkets can help. but a lot of the produce is imported. there is a great deal they can do. if you are buying tinned tomatoes from italy, pastor that has been made from wheat that comes from ukraine, all of these things that has a huge amount of effect. ., , these things that has a huge amount of effect. . , , ., these things that has a huge amount of effect. .,, , . ,, these things that has a huge amount of effect. ., , ., ,, ., . of effect. last year you launch the

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. 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 0lena 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, lieutenant colonel larysa yakubchok, nearly 30 years in uniform. she's seen the change. translation: sometimes it's difficult for men to accept - 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.

well over the past year, ukraine's second city kharkiv, has been at the centre of intense fighting. to talk about the situation there and elsewhere in the country my colleague 0lga malchevska is here. she's been covering and living the war for bbc news ukraine. thank you for talking to us today about something that is very close to your heart. you were reporting from the front line in kharkiv, what is the situation then have? it is is the situation then have? it is still difficult — is the situation then have? it is still difficult in _ is the situation then have? it is still difficult in the _ is the situation then have? it 3 still difficult in the kharkiv region. it is located close to the russian border and it is very easy to stay a target there. so even just

yesterday the region was bombed again and nine people were wounded. we know that another four were destroyed. so it stays very difficult and very dangerous. i want to speak about something positive today from that region, if it is possible, of course. it is about renovation. so even despite the risk of being bombed constantly, people have managed to renew their homes and the environment where they live. we can see some pictures. i want to talk about one particular hospital in kharkiv region. it was completely destroyed by the russian missiles. which is what we are seeing now. it was devastation there. now it looks like a completely different and new building. people managed to restore it from outside and inside and it

has taken patients and people do use it as a hospital. 0bviously, has taken patients and people do use it as a hospital. obviously, it is helping with international help, lots of effort has been a joint effort from around the world. there is the restored _ effort from around the world. there is the restored and _ effort from around the world. there is the restored and renovated - is the restored and renovated building. the interiors going back to the start of this conflict. and there it is now. everything repaired, ready for use by local people again. that is remarkable considering how close, as you say, kharkiv is to the border with russia and what an easy target it is russia? ~ , ,., , and what an easy target it is russia? ~ ,,., , , and what an easy target it is russia? ~ , , , ,, russia? absolutely, but despite the risk of being — russia? absolutely, but despite the risk of being destroyed _ russia? absolutely, but despite the risk of being destroyed again, - russia? absolutely, but despite the risk of being destroyed again, they l risk of being destroyed again, they want to live in proper conditions and they want to do everything they can to improve their life right now. they understand that tomorrow might not exist any more so they want to live now and today and do their best. it live now and today and do their best. , , . live now and today and do their best. , . ., live now and today and do their best. , ., ., .,

to go to the shower. i asked her mum, how did you manage to do that? then she told me, when there is a moment and it is a bit calm, we do go to our destroyed home to take a shower, at least with cold water. yes, we know we can be killed there, but at least we will stay tidy. i was so impressed by that story and i am staying in touch with the family and they have quite a dramatic story. after that they had to flee ukraine and they were relocated to turkey and then there was a horrible earthquake. luckily they were not affected by the earthquake and they have returned home. so now they are back to kharkiv, back to their home and despite the risk of being bombed, they stay in their home and they don't go underground any more. they decided it was undignified and they want to stay where they are. what an absolutely remarkable story, thank you for sharing that and i know you will be speaking to my

colleagues throughout the day with more on the stories of those people you have been talking to. 0lga, thank you very much. in the days, weeks and months following the outbreak of war, millions of ukrainians fled to seek safety elsewhere. more than 100,000 of them have arrived here in the uk. 0ur reporter callum tulley has been to meet a group of refugees, to find out how the past year has been for them. a year on from russia's invasion, life looks very different for young ukrainians. hello, guys. nice to see you. this ukrainian cafe has been helping people settle in. i'm from a small village near to kiev. from the war started my village was destroyed for 70%. almost all houses and when i saw this, ifelt horrible. but life is continuing, i'm trying to make new life here. 0leksandr is one of the thousands of ukrainians who moved to the uk

last year to escape the war. how have you found the last year here? i would say that i love it because a lot of opportunities, especially for me, because i want to study in the uk. nikita is 23 and is a top violinist. most men his age aren't allowed to leave ukraine, but he was given a military exemption so he could continue his career at the london performing academy of music. violin music. sometimes i cannot believe i'm living in london, or i can go to king's cross and i can see the platform nine and three quarters. laughter. i'm making a new life here. how does it feel when you're watching what's going on in ukraine? so one of my friends i don't know, to be honest, is he alive or not? he was near mariupol in march and he was a prisoner of russians. i know absolutely, i cannot fight, i cannot be with a weapon,

but my weapon is my violin, so with this weapon, i can do something. yulia is 25 and came to the uk on her own through the homes for ukraine scheme. sirens wail. i do miss home. i've been home. i went in september last year to visit home for five days i when there, it was not good for my mental health at all. i it's like there is a life before and after. i there is nothing in between and life as we knew it ended on the 24th. i your dream's to make a restaurant in the uk? maybe in uk, maybe in ukraine. if you do the ukrainian restaurant, i will come all the time and play the music for you and eat borsch. 0k. it's not clear how or when the war will end, but whatever the outcome, these guys are determined

that their country and culture are not forgotten. callum tulley, bbc news. you can watch the full interview with that group of young ukrainians at 7.50 tonight on bbc three's �*the catch up', orfind it on bbc iplayer. a uk tech company is calling for a new mobile phone repair apprenticeship scheme to meet soaring demand as more people choose to fix rather than replace their phones. smartphones generate around 146 million tonnes of c02 per year but the majority of this comes from the manufacturing process. by hanging onto phones longer people can save money and the planet. i'm joined now by the group's founder adam whitehouse. thank you very much for talking to us today. to what extent is there a shortage of people able to carry out phone repairs?—

shortage of people able to carry out phone repairs? good morning. they reach the point _ phone repairs? good morning. they reach the point a _ phone repairs? good morning. they reach the point a few— phone repairs? good morning. they reach the point a few years - phone repairs? good morning. they reach the point a few years ago i phone repairs? good morning. they reach the point a few years ago thatj reach the point a few years ago that we were struggling to find technicians so we made the decision to build our own academy. since then, we have had 17 academies and 64 new staff make it into our repairing. we have more than doubled in sizejust in repairing. we have more than doubled in size just in the last two years. it is fair to say people often think about replacing their phone rather than repairing it, but perhaps the cost of living crisis has driven people towards the notion of repair instead of replace, would you agree? yes, i think so. i think there is a number of things that contribute to that decision. 0ne number of things that contribute to that decision. one of them is also that decision. one of them is also that the cost of a mobile phone has gone up considerably over the last ten, 15 years. and also people are happier to have a phone that, as long as it has regular software updates and is working fine, their phone can last them a lot longer.

certainly three, four years now easily but perhaps ten years ago people would consider changing their device almost every year. to people would consider changing their device almost every year.— device almost every year. to what extent groups _ device almost every year. to what extent groups like _ device almost every year. to what extent groups like your— device almost every year. to what extent groups like your company i extent groups like your company trying to get that message out that not only can you save money, obviously by doing this, but also you can help the planet as well? yes, for sure. very much i'm an advocate and the 130 staff we have here are advocates, to make sure technology lasts as long as it can. 0ur motto is to keep technology alive for longer. repairing any device is a lot less than people might consider. whatever you think i might consider. whatever you think i might phone might cost, 600, and some of the new devices from the bigger manufactures, over £1000. replacing a screen can cost as little as £150, so it makes economic sense to keep hold of your device.

the good news from the manufacturers, they are providing security updates for at least five years, so people don't need to worry about changing their device, the software will continue to update. you are battling the vast marketing and advertising budgets of the big phone companies who frankly, want people to buy those new phones? yes. people to buy those new phones? yes, i people to buy those new phones? yes, i understand — people to buy those new phones? yes, i understand there _ people to buy those new phones? ya: i understand there has to people to buy those new phones? 123 i understand there has to be a balance and there is always new technology coming out. we have seen the flip and the folding devices coming out and early adapters are seeing what benefit that can have for them. seeing what benefit that can have forthem. but seeing what benefit that can have for them. but there are plenty of people who are happy to keep their device for longer, as long as they know they can get them repaired properly. that is what we do here, to make sure we reinstate manufacturers warranties and make sure their phone is as good as new after they have dropped them or accidentally damage them. mam accidentally damage them. adam whitehouse _ accidentally damage them. adam whitehouse from _ accidentally damage them. adam whitehouse from the _ accidentally damage them. adam whitehouse from the uk - accidentally damage them. adam whitehouse from the uk tech i accidentally damage them. adam whitehouse from the uk tech company, tmt first.

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. sofia bettiza has more. he was the legendary film producer at the top of his game, with the world at his feet. but harvey weinstein became the first major figure taken down by the #metoo movement and was sent to jail. and on thursday, another conviction, for attacking an actress in a hotel room in beverly hills during a film festival in february 2013. in court, the 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 say, "well, isn't it too late? he was sentenced today." it's never too late to argue or assert a constitutional right that we think has been violated. and it has an impact on thousands of victims in the future. if they are brave enough to testify before a grand jury, and then, for some, to testify in a court of law, they should have a right to speak their piece and to 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 rape and sexual assault. more than 80 people have made rape and misconduct claims about him dating back to the 1970s. but he maintains that he is innocent and that all of his sexual encounters were consensual. he called his accuser an actress with the ability to turn on her tears.

"please, don't sentence me to life in prison," he told the court, "i don't deserve it." weinstein will be appealing, but he's 70 years old, so this sentence means that life and death in prison are now very likely for this once—revered hollywood star. sofia bettiza, bbc news. nominations for the scottish national party leadership race will close later today, with three candidates expected to appear on the ballot papers. scottish 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 un's middle east envoy has held meetings in gaza as part of efforts to calm escalating tensions between palestine and israel.

an israeli raid in the occupied west bank on wednesday left 11 people dead, including six gunmen. militants in gaza responded by firing rockets into israel. canada has launched an investigation into tiktok — because of concerns about how the platform collects and uses personal information. yesterday, eu officials were ordered to remove the app from their official devices. tiktok is owned by the chinese company, bytedance and insists it doesn't operate any differently to other social media sites. last night crowds gathered in london's trafalgar square to mark the anniversary of the war in ukraine. the event, organised by charities, ngos and the ukrainan embassy in the uk, saw traditional performances and speeches from government leaders and celebrities. 0scar winning actress dame helen mirren recited a translation of the poem take only what is most important by ukrainian poet serhiy zhadan. we'll leave you with those words.

tired gaurds on borderlands covered with snow. a postman with empty bags, shot down. a priest with a hapless smile hung by his ribs. the quiet of a cemetery, the noise of a command post, and unedited lists of the dead. so long that there won't be enough time to check them for your own name. that's a very important, very powerful poem ukraine. but i think you will be back. and i would say peace for ukraine, democracy for ukraine

and freedom for ukraine. thank you very much. hello. february might be the driest of the three winter months but some areas, reservoir levels have started to drop. across england, some of the driest conditions, 4% of normal rainfall in ipswich. wettest places have been in the north of scotland. the only party see above average rainfall. the forecast over the coming days shows many will continue the dry theme as we see february out and go into march. it is all down to and go into march. it is all down to an area of high pressure which is set to building across the uk and just sit there, keeping rain bearing areas of low pressure well away. wetter weather for some of you today across parts of england and wales,

this is bbc news, and that was a moment of silence to reflect one year on from russia's invasion of ukraine. those are the live scenes from downing street. joining rishi sunak, the prime minister, on those stairs, was the ukrainian ambassador. president volodymyr zelensky has been speaking, saying ukraine will do everything it can to defeat russia this year. 0urfirst report comes from our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse. a thud, marking the moment when ukraine and the world... air raid siren sounds. ..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 build—up, 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. car horns honk. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. let's listen now to president zelensky�*s message to the people of ukraine this morning. translation: great nation - of ukraine, a year ago on this day, from this same place, at around seven in the morning, i addressed you with a brief statement, lasting only 67 seconds. we will defeat all threats, shelling, bombs, missiles, kamikaze drones, blackouts, cold. we are stronger than all of this. it was a year of endurance, a year of compassion, a year of bravery, a year of pain, a year of hope, a year

of perseverance, a year of unity, a year of invincibility. a fierce year of invincibility. its main conclusion is that we have survived, we have not been defeated, and we will do everything to win this year. when russia launched its full—scale invasion a year ago, most people expected a very uneven battle and a quick russian victory. it hasn't turned out that way. paul adams was in kyiv when the war started — he looks at the cost of the conflict so far. it's not easy to get your head around the sheer scale of what's happened in ukraine over the past 12 months. this is the biggest conflict in europe since the second world war. the un reckons at least 8,000 ukrainian civilians have been killed. over 13,000 injured, and those are just the figures we know about.

more than 13 million people are homeless. eight million are now refugees in europe. millions more are still in the country, but not in their homes. the un believes 21 million people, more than half of the country's pre—war population, need help. large parts of eastern and southern ukraine lie in ruins. more than 1,000 educational buildings have been attacked. and more than 750 health care facilities, theatres, libraries and religious buildings have also been targeted. russia's attack was fast. withing days of invading, its forces were at the gates of the capital, kyiv. huge chunks of the east and south were in russian hands. but ukraine fought back, forcing the kremlin to abandon its attempt to take the capital, and pushing russian forces back, first in the north east, and then in the south, where the city of

kherson was liberated. the cost in soldiers' lives has been immense. ukraine is thought to have lost as many as 100,000 dead or wounded. for russia it has been much worse. as many as 200,000 casualties, with a much higher proportion of those killed. the west has sprung to ukraine's defence, in one of the most remarkable efforts of its kind ever seen. from anti—tank weapons that began to flood in early on, to sophisticated artillery systems that allowed ukraine to go on the offensive, and tanks and armoured vehicles that are even now on their way. ukraine's allies have so far promised more than $65 billion of military aid. the united states has been by far the biggest donor. none of this, of course, has brought the war to an end. most people agree it is likely to go on for a lot longer, killing even more people and swallowing up vast resources. with no peace process in sight, the cost of this

terrible war can only rise. well, as we have been reporting, the united nations general assembly has overwhelmingly backed a resolution condemning russia's invasion of ukraine. the motion — which calls for the withdrawal of troops from ukraine and a halt to fighting — was backed by 141 nations with 32 abstaining and seven, including russia, voting against. meanwhile china's foreign ministry has released a series of statements, saying "dialogue and negotiation are the only viable way to resolve" the crisis and calling on both russia and ukraine to "avoid attacking civilians or civilian facilities." 0ur correspondent stephen mcdonell is in beijing and explained more about china's increasingly important role in ukraine's war. ata time at a time when beijing and moscow

appear to be moving closer and closer together, at a time when the chinese government is already accused of supplying non—lethal aid to the russian war effort and a time when the us government says china is preparing to supply actual weapons to russia, this position paper has been released by the chinese government effectively as a means of trying to convince the world that it remains neutral in terms of the war in ukraine. we have heard the lines before, basically beijing saying that russia and ukraine direct talks. they are saying the territorial integrity of ukraine needs to be respected, but legitimate security concerns of moscow also need to be considered. already the head of the eu delegation in the city has said it is not really a peace plan and china should be condemning the invasion outright. the government in ukraine

has said that china, if you really are neutral, we would like some meetings too. but me the excellent ski would dearly love to sit down with xijingping. 0ne ski would dearly love to sit down with xijingping. one other thing i should add, the chinese foreign ministry was asked about this report that a chinese drone company is preparing to supply drones to russia, the foreign ministry spokesperson here said it did not know about this report, these allegations regarding the drones, but that there was a fair bit of misinformation moving around in terms of china and its involvement in the war in ukraine. that was stephen mcdonell from beijing. i'm joined now from kyiv by our international editor, jeremy bowen. hello, jeremy. this must be a time of great reflection for you watching events over the past year? indeed, i have spent —

events over the past year? indeed, i have spent a — events over the past year? indeed, i have spent a lot _ events over the past year? indeed, i have spent a lot of _ events over the past year? indeed, i have spent a lot of time _ events over the past year? indeed, i have spent a lot of time here i events over the past year? indeed, i have spent a lot of time here and i events over the past year? indeed, i have spent a lot of time here and a i have spent a lot of time here and a big reflection for me is i have been catching up with quite a few people i have stayed in touch with since the beginning of the war here, among them two young recruits who when i met them one year ago they were 18 and 19, not long out of school, they were university students, one that economics, one driven biology. i was there the day theyjoined up, i met maxim in the east, in the battlefields of donbas where he spent a lot of time on active service. both of them 48 in the battle around kyiv. i caught up with them again, when they signed up they were young guys trying to look very brave, but i said to them, what were you really thinking? a lot of fear, i'm not going to lie, because i haven't experienced anything like that before. we had some stupid brave... braveness? bravery.

and it helped us- to overcome our fear. jeremy, one year on, the language and the messaging has been fascinating to watch it evolve. i'm seeing something coming via the reuters news agency from the russian defence ministry, saying they have killed up to 240 ukrainian soldiers. the quote i find interesting is it says that the armed forces of the russian federation continue to conduct a special military operation. i thought we were now in a war. �* ., , , a war. i'm not quite sure where they are in their — a war. i'm not quite sure where they are in their language _ a war. i'm not quite sure where they are in their language and _ a war. i'm not quite sure where they are in their language and moscow, l a war. i'm not quite sure where they are in their language and moscow, i | are in their language and moscow, i think they had been hinting they would use the war word because for a while you could get in trouble with the authorities if you did not call it a special military operation.

let's not beat around the bush, it is a war, the biggest in europe since 1945, it has had enormous consequences for european security, economic damage, globally speaking, and if as you have just been discussing with our colleague in china, if the chinese get more involved on the russian side, the conflict has way more serious global implications. so while president zelensky talks about victory this year, he does not have the wherewithal as things stand to do that and neither do the russians. the answer in that case is the most likely outcome over the next few months is a lot more bloodshed in grinding attritional warfare. jeremy bowen, grinding attritional warfare. jeremy bowen. thank— grinding attritional warfare. jeremy bowen, thank you. _ justin crump is a defence, intelligence and security expert with 25 years' service in the british army. he's now chief executive of sibylline, an intelligence consultancy.

thank you forjoining us as ever on bbc news. i want to begin by taking a look at a map of ukraine. this shows how the front line has changed one year on. you have been monitoring this very closely, initially it was thought russia would overpower ukraine in the early days. would overpower ukraine in the early da s. ~ : would overpower ukraine in the early da s.: . we are on the one—year anniversary of a lightning special military operation by russia, i think the three day claim you see pushed around is still a bit over wrecked but i think they were looking at about a three—week to have everything completed and achieve the objectives they wanted to in ukraine, they pretty much failed to achieve any of their initial objectives one year on, and this will drag on certainly without

outside influences with both of those sites pretty evenly matched on the battlefield. russia has less territory now than six months ago, it has clawed back a small amount in that meat grinder in the last few weeks but that is about it and the side that has made the biggest advancesis side that has made the biggest advances is the counterattacks in kharkiv and curse on. a year ago their troops were alive and operating properly, it is only getting worse for then, is the ultimate point. they might have more troops but it is much harder going. when we talk about military support, how decisive has that been? just this morning we are hearing from the polish defence minister confirming the leopard are already in ukraine.

i apologise for the background noise, the leopards are in, we have had much more military aid which has been announced, but huge support is coming in. that is continuing. ukrainian troops training on challenger 2, ukrainian troops training on challenger2, if ukrainian troops training on challenger 2, if you had just one year ago if we would have british troops in ukraine that would have seemed unlikely. the ukrainian forces still operating very well but obviously they will eventually run out of their planes, they will lose our aircraft so as this drags on and i think there is more and more chance of more advanced weapons being brought into the conflict in line with the trend we had seen over the last 12 months, that is only set to continue, and china is maybe bringing the same to the russian side. �* : : ~

"tt2 typhoon is being discussed can you see that happening soon? tt2 typhoon is being discussed because in theory great britain has some aeroplanes free. it is not the best aircraft for ukraine but one thing that it offers, as we did with the challenger, we can set the tone by starting with something... making the donation, breaking the ice on donations that are technically putting red lines in peoples minds, raising the risk of russia. i think they can probably make most use of and have been quietly training in the f-16, it and have been quietly training in the f—16, it is much more available and more easily supported but everyone is afraid be the first to donate something of that magnitude despite the fact that so far russia has completely failed to respond to any donations made. they always make

threats and talk nuclear rhetoric but they have been empty gestures so far, so the best thing we can do this potentially be a leader in these donations. the things themselves will not be game changers, ukraine will take everything it can get, it is in the middle of the pretty nasty war, but it is opening the door to large amounts of really usable equipment for the ukrainian armed forces where britain could arguably do the most. china's influence has also grown during this war. the german president has said their peace initiative, he describes it as questionable. what are china's motivations? they had to keep the eu happy too because they have strong trade links but also president putin pressurising them? yes. trade links but also president putin pressurising them?— trade links but also president putin pressurising them? yes, an anecdotal wa of pressurising them? yes, an anecdotal way of understanding _ pressurising them? yes, an anecdotal way of understanding this _ pressurising them? yes, an anecdotal way of understanding this is _ pressurising them? yes, an anecdotal way of understanding this is to i way of understanding this is to imagine the international order as a house, america has the lovely room

at the house, china lives at the house and rather once the top room for itself under pressure is on the couch, drinking vodka and flicking match is around, hoping the house burns down at this point. china has a vested interest in not destabilising the situation with russia to the point that in the very worst case you have a nuclear conflict, i don't think that is likely at all, but obviously that is a pretty bad outcome for everyone, let alone china. they want to keep things in parameters that it is very useful for china to things in parameters that it is very usefulfor china to come things in parameters that it is very useful for china to come back better from this conflict than they might otherwise, it serves china to have europe distracted, they are treading this tightrope but the big giveaway, as your correspondent mentioned, is china has been to russia and spoken with the russians and is... hasn't been to ukraine or spoken to the ukrainians, gently pointed that out today, so it is pretty clear they are coming down hard at the moment

and supporting russia. there are huge advantages for china in terms of more or less turning what used to be the more dominant power in the old relationship between russia and china, with the soviet union obviously much more powerful, and having russia almost as a battle state of china, there have been steps that way in 2014 when china started to get some russian energy supplies at a very favourable rates, you can see more of that, it is good for china in that regard, so a very complicated position for china, they will tread the tightrope but obviously ravage the situation for everything they can get in this increasingly complex world order we find ourselves in.— find ourselves in. justin crump, chief executive _ find ourselves in. justin crump, chief executive of _ find ourselves in. justin crump, chief executive of sibylline, i find ourselves in. justin crump, l chief executive of sibylline, thank you very much for your time. you are watching bbc news. 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. 0ur ireland correspondent chris page gave us this update from belfast the fourth man to be arrested in this investigation was detained in coalisland, a town in county tyrone, he is 22, he has been taken to be questioned by detectives at a police station here in belfast, he has been detained under antiterrorism legislation. three other suspects who were arrested yesterday remain in police custody, they are 38, 45 and 47 years old. so, four men now under arrest, detectives investigating the attempted murder of their colleague detective chief inspectorjohn caldwell. really since this happened,

about eight o'clock on wednesday night, more details have been gradually emerging about exactly what has unfolded in the car park of a sports complex which was packed at the time with young people particularly, training in their sports on a wednesday evening. detective chief inspector caldwell was loading footballs into the back of his car with his son. he had been taking an u15 football team's coaching session when he was approached by two gunmen who opened fire. so, there have been accounts of children running away. detective chief inspector caldwell apparently shouted at them, even when he was being attacked himself, to run for their safety. a wave, certainly, of trauma has been felt, particularly in the community of 0magh since the shooting, and there has been a great deal of revulsion — anger, even — expressed about the shooting of the detective and the manner in which it

was carried out. that was chris page with that update. some breaking news concerning junior doctors and their strike action. they confirmed on monday that the vote was yes, we now have the dates. essentially this will be a 72 hour strike, what we are hearing is the strike dates for junior doctors in england will be at 7am from monday, march 13, ending at 7am from monday, march 13, ending at 7am on the 16th of march when they return to work. the bma are arguing for a pay rise to make up for 15 years of inflation. that is the latest we have on that. catherine burns will be with us to give us more background context to that

story, and what it will mean for people heading to their gps. that will be coming up shortly. nominations for the snp leadership race will close later today, with three candidates expected to appear on the ballot papers. (tx 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. in the past hour, the former minister ash regan has launched her campaign. ms regan, resigned from the front bench over scottish government plans to make it easierfor someone to change their legally—recognised sex. speaking earlier, she admitted

she was the outsider in the race. i will say clearly hear that there can be no compromise on women's rights. i'm going to seek... applause. thank you. i will be seeking consensus, not compromise, and in the absence of consensus, if there was an appetite in the country for it, i would be happy to hand the matter over to a citizens assembly for then, and let the people of scotland decide how to take it over. applause. i am the candidate for change, not continuity. i want to restore the nation which allow it to the snp to replace labour as the dominant party of scotland. that is independence for scotland and good governance. i respect everything my predecessors have achieved since 2007, but

recently we have lost our way and under my leadership we will re—establish our track record, we will reform our team, we will reiterate the vision of an independent country with parity of esteem in the world. the vehicle for this is the independence convention, which i've committed to establishing. i want to the membership of the snp to be left in no doubt. for me, independence is the immediate priority. i'm joined now by alexander swanson, a student at the university of stirling and the national organiser of the snp's student wing. thank you forjoining us on bbc news, alexander. what do you make up the three candidates, who has the best experience so far? == the three candidates, who has the best experience so far?— the three candidates, who has the best experience so far? -- what do ou make best experience so far? -- what do you make of? _ best experience so far? -- what do you make of? i _ best experience so far? -- what do you make of? i think— best experience so far? -- what do you make of? i think humza i best experience so far? -- what do you make of? i think humza or- best experience so far? -- what do| you make of? i think humza or kate has the best experience, they have

beenin has the best experience, they have been in government for a while now, humza has more experience than kate in different roles but caters very experienced in her as economic minister —— but kate is very experience. so there is definitely mixed experience. kate experience. so there is definitely mixed experience.— experience. so there is definitely mixed experience. kate has had to a oloaise mixed experience. kate has had to apologise recently _ mixed experience. kate has had to apologise recently over _ mixed experience. kate has had to apologise recently over some i mixed experience. kate has had to apologise recently over some of. mixed experience. kate has had to| apologise recently over some of her views, do you think that will hurt her moving forward if she became the first minister of scotland? t her moving forward if she became the first minister of scotland?— first minister of scotland? i think the initial statement _ first minister of scotland? i think the initial statement on - first minister of scotland? i think the initial statement on monday i the initial statement on monday really hurt her and really hurt a lot of people in the party, lots of people outside the party, and our coalition with the greens. i thought the apology was necessary but i still think there is a lot of hurt and i think it will hurt her campaign going forward. the vice she has been on maternity leave since december, in terms of seeing her in action the scottish people need to

see how she performs when it comes to lots of those key issues. let's look at ash regan, she became minister in 2016 and has said she would ditch the gender recognition reform bill. is that a good move for her? adult i don't think so at all, i think it is important, i think what has been proposed is not as controversial as people are saying, it is only making it legally easier for someone to change their gender and the narrative coming out from ash is wrong, i think we have consulted this bill for a couple of years and i think the public back in it, ithink years and i think the public back in it, i think we should fight it in court to make sure it becomes law in scotland so it is important trans people have the rights and dignity to change their gender. [30

people have the rights and dignity to change their gender.— people have the rights and dignity to change their gender. do you get the sense that _ to change their gender. do you get the sense that the _ to change their gender. do you get the sense that the snp _ to change their gender. do you get the sense that the snp generally l to change their gender. do you get l the sense that the snp generally has the sense that the snp generally has the support of the public? definitely, i definitely feel we have support, i think the public still believe in us and trust us in government, i don't think they still trust labour to change, i don't think they see labour as the alternative coalition they portray. the conservatives are showing in westminster what they are really about. i still think the snp are the majority in scotland and i think we still need to do more to make sure people are happy but i still think we are the party in scotland that is the biggest party and i hope we can still serve the people of scotland. let's go to independence, it is not something we can ignore. while we are on the subject of ash regan, she has said she supports the idea of in the future election the result being taken as a de facto referendum and

if there is a vote of over 50%, that is a clear indication that the scottish people want to be independent. humza yousaf has said he would more or less stick to the sturgeon administration's pas. do you think that is the right way to move forward and how clear do they need to keep the greens happy —— how closely? i think that when it comes to independence we should continue what was planned, with consulting the membership and seeing how we feel, i think that is important, i think thatis think that is important, i think that is the most important thing, i am wary of the de facto round, we need to find alternative way, i think we can get section 30 i would rather go down that route and that take the route of the de facto

referendum, i think that is most important thing we, we bring back the special conference we planned and we should be consulted on that rather thanks, than being told it is a de facto referendum, it is important the membership debate this and see what it wants first. tqm. and see what it wants first. ok, alex an der— and see what it wants first. ok, alex an der swanson, _ and see what it wants first. 0k, alex an der swanson, thank you for your time. thank you. thank you. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. hello. more of you will see the sunshine this afternoon compared with the morning. a few places, though, will stay fairly cloudy — parts of southern wales, the midlands, east anglia, southern counties of england — here the cloud thick enough for some light rain or drizzle, the cloud breaking up in northern ireland into the afternoon. and then, as i said, for many there will be some sunny spells. temperatures up a little bit on recent days, but always feeling cooler down those eastern coasts thanks to a strengthening wind. tonight, that wind gets stronger still. could bring an isolated rain showers, maybe some wintry showers over the hills to eastern areas.

but the vast majority of the uk will be dry, clear and frosty into what will be a sunny start to saturday morning. but the sunshine will be best in the morning. the cloud we have in northern and eastern parts of the uk will start to spread elsewhere. in eastern areas there's still the chance of one or two isolated showers wintry over the hills, but most will be dry, sunniest throughout in the west, but a colder feeling day with a wind chill in the east of around two or three degrees. ander swanson, thank you for your time. thank you. hello this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak, the headlines. a one minute silence has been observed across the uk, to mark the one year anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. the prime minister and the ukrainian ambassador lead the silence from downing street.

and in a video address to the people of ukraine to mark the anniversary, president zelensky says his country will not be defeated. 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. nominations for the snp leadership race close at midday, with humza yousaf, kate forbes and ash regan expected to appear on the ballot paper. and new research for the bbc suggests the price of pasta has nearly doubled in two years, with the rate of food price rises still running at almost 17%.

we start with some breaking news — the draw for the last 16 of the europa league has taken place in the last few minutes, with manchester united and arsenal both in the pot. we're joined now by reporter ben croucher, who's been watching the draw in lausanne. what can you tell us? the key thing to know for arsenal and manchester united fan, arsenal have been drawn against sporting club portugal. sporting lisbon to you and me and manchester united will play real betis, the spanish side, if we take a full look at that draw that has been made, in switzerland, arsenal will play their first leg away from home because they won in the group stages of the europa league. manchester united had to go through the knock out round last night. they will play real betis for the first time if their history.

juventus are struggling in serie a at the moment. the final is in hungary. sporting club against arsenal. manchester united real betis, roma against real sociedad who beat manchester united in the group stage. i think arsenalfan group stage. i think arsenal fan also be fairly happy with that draw, they could have faced the likes ofjuventus and sevilla, sporting club 2005 finalists, fourth in the portuguese league at the moment so there could have been harder draws and similarly manchester united have avoided some of the trickier ties. arsenal in particular certainly clubs they wanted to avoid there. manchester united, though, based on their performance last night, against barcelona, they do seem like the team to beat.— team to beat. they are the favourites _ team to beat. they are the favourites in _ team to beat. they are the favourites in the _ team to beat. they are the i favourites in the tournament, if

team to beat. they are the - favourites in the tournament, if you go by the bookmaker, them and arsenal favourites to win the competition, as a whole, and against barcelona last night manchester united were superimpressive. they went behind to a penalty but in the second half transformed, fred pulled the goal back to make the tie level on the night before antony came off the bench to fireman man through, 4-3 the bench to fireman man through, 4—3 on aggregate. incredible atmosphere at old trafford. an important week for erik ten hag's side. they have a momentum going into that cup final against newcastle on sunday. looking for a first tro - h newcastle on sunday. looking for a first trophy since _ newcastle on sunday. looking for a first trophy since 2017. _ southampton have given their interim manager ruben selles the reigns until the end of the season. the spaniard's reward for masterminding 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 a brilliant 184 not out from harry brook put england in the ascendancy on day one of the second and final test against new zealand. early on though, england had been in trouble. an openers batting collapse, and they were struggling on 21 for three. but then came the experience ofjoe root who steadied the side, with an unbeaten century. and that was bettered, by brook. smashing his way, towards a double century. england closing the day on 315 for 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. that's all the sport for now. junior doctors in england will go on strike for 72 hours from monday the 13th of march. catherine burns will take us through it. the significance, the 72 hours is it is consecutive. this it. the significance, the 72 hours is it is consecutive.— is it is consecutive. this is three da s in a is it is consecutive. this is three days in a row. — is it is consecutive. this is three days in a row, shall— is it is consecutive. this is three days in a row, shall i _ is it is consecutive. this is three days in a row, shall i start i is it is consecutive. this is three days in a row, shall i start by i days in a row, shall i start by telling you about who junior doctors are, because sometimes the term is mislead, you think it could be doctors in training, they are about 40% of medical workforce, so this is doctors fresh out of medical school but some up to senior level, some maybe working up to 15 years so it a

vast swathe of experience we are looking at there. so, they are going to walk out, at 7.00am, we expect tens of thousands on monday 13th march, they will off on and go back to work an 7.00am on the thursday morning, we expect this to be both sort of routine care, and emergency care, now, it is emergency care the important thing is they can only do that by law, if the a&e departments can be fully staffed by consultants so they have done this before, in 2016, they did a one day version of this, and at the time consultants stepped in and a&e departments were very well run, but, that did mean knock on eimpact parliaments of many, many many hip, knee replacement, those thing, the surgery, the clinics they would be running won't be happening. t surgery, the clinics they would be running won't be happening. i have had a quick— running won't be happening. i have had a quick look— running won't be happening. i have had a quick look at _ running won't be happening. i have had a quick look at the _ running won't be happening. i have had a quick look at the bma i running won't be happening. i have had a quick look at the bma website and there is an image there of i presume a junior doctor holding a banner saying i would you take a 30% pay cut, what are they asking for?

so the bma is calling it pay restoration, they are not talking about pay rise, you and i may call it pay rise, but they are saying over the years they have had i think 28% pay cut, once you work in inflation, now some people would say they are using the highest measure of inflation and if you used the cpi it would be low but they have had 15 years of inflation, that is what they are trying to deal with and come up with. the bma has said we are angry demoral liced angry and no longer willing to work for wages that have seen a real terms decline of 26% over the past 15 years so thatis of 26% over the past 15 years so that is what they are looking for. ok that is what they are looking for. 0k and what has the government line been on this? this ok and what has the government line been on this?— been on this? this is 'ust broken the dates recently i been on this? this isjust broken the dates recently but _ been on this? this isjust broken the dates recently but when i been on this? this isjust broken| the dates recently but when they announced they were striking they said it was deeply disappointing they have had a pay rise, they have agreed to 8.2 forjunior doctors the overfour agreed to 8.2 forjunior doctors the over four year, agreed to 8.2 forjunior doctors the overfouryear, if agreed to 8.2 forjunior doctors the overfour year, if government agreed to 8.2 forjunior doctors the over four year, if government says they have hiring bands of pay for

they have hiring bands of pay for the most experienced staff and more night payments, higher rates of night payments, higher rates of night pay, but the bma says what we want is the government, they said they have tried to avoid this to the last minute, they have been calling for the health secretary to come into a room and meet them face to face and that hasn't happened, that is why they say they feel they have do this. we is why they say they feel they have do this. ~ : do this. we will leave it there catherine. — do this. we will leave it there catherine, thank _ do this. we will leave it there catherine, thank you. - the price of pasta has nearly doubled in two years, as costs rise for a wide range of basic supermarket food items. a standard 500g bag of pasta was 50p two years ago — now it's 95p. the bbc�*s been tracking the cost of a small basket of 15 everyday essentials. the total has gone up by £5.34 in two years. although official figures suggest overall uk inflation may have peaked at 11.1% in october, the rate of food price rises is still running at 16.7%. emma simpson has more details

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 17% and 19% 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. and coming up on bbc news in the next hour, we'll be looking more at this issue with chef and presenter, tom kerridge. the headlines on bbc news... a one minute silence has been observed across the uk , to mark the one year anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. the prime minister and the ukrainian ambassador lead the silence from downing street. and in a video address to the people of ukraine to mark the anniversary, president zelensky says his country will not be defeated. 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. 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 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.

musicians are teaming up to perform a new work of specially—composed music. the bournemouth symphony orchestra and the royal northern sinfonia, in gateshead, are bringing together their inclusive ensembles. they use a blend of traditional instruments and electronic ones, developed specifically for musicians with impairments. simon marks went along to the rehearsals. rehearsing, two ensembles. both are inclusive, led by disabled musicians and they have come together for a ground—breaking performance. they have been working together for the last year, collaborating and exploring and there is an access range of needs people have in the room and we work together as individuals to listen to each other.

this is called bso resound and siobhan clough plays the lead violin. the magical thing about resound is we work in different ways than what would be deemed as normal or customary. i held my violin slightly on the side and i tilt my head to feel the vibrations. today, clarence is a member of our rns moves, based in gateshead. his musicaljourney began three decades ago when he played trump decades ago when he played trumpet with the bso alongside his friend pete, who is here to welcome him back. we are all very proud of what he has achieved. i had my accident a couple of years after moving here. i was in intensive care being kept alive by machines. so from that position, to think that we could be in the same building and all of that, is remarkable. clarence now plays an instrument

which was developed especially for him. it is 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. it is getting the audience is used to accepting those new sounds on the classical stage. so far, so good. nobody has thrown 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 remarkable creative freedom. if they want to make up and play whatever they want, they can do. which they sometimes do. it is the mixture following some preset things and having total flexibility to play whatever you want. i think it is going to the point that we can have orchestras that have inclusive groups and the potential where that could lead is incredible.

the entire performance was recorded and you can watch via the bso website. access, including music is for everyone. disabled young people who don't have a voice, those that 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 and keep pushing for what you need. now it's time for a look at the weather. it has opinion particularly dry in some _ it has opinion particularly dry in some areas reservoir levels have started _ some areas reservoir levels have started to — some areas reservoir levels have

this is bbc news. i'm lyse doucet live in kyiv. our top stories... on the first anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine, president zelensky declares, "we endured, we were not defeated." tote zelensky declares, "we endured, we were not defeated."— were not defeated." we have 'ust heard a fl were not defeated." we have 'ust heard a siren go i were not defeated." we have 'ust heard a siren go off i were not defeated." we have 'ust heard a siren go off for i were not defeated." we have 'ust heard a siren go off for the i were not defeated." we have just heard a siren go off for the first i heard a siren go off for the first time, we haven't heard that before. in the past year the conflict has killed tens of thousands of people and forced millions to flee their homes. we look back at the key moments. solemn ceremonies are taking place all around the world marking the day — including in the uk,

where a minute's silence has been observed. and the us announces new sanctions and an additional $2 billion support package aimed at helping the ukrainians in the fight. —— aimed at undermining moscow's ability to wage war in ukraine. you join us today in the ukrainian capital, keith. —— ukrainian capital, keith. —— ukrainian capital, kyiv. on this day, one year ago, russian warplanes were in these skies, russians tanks and troops crossed the northern borderfrom belarus heading to kyiv, and here in the capital air raids sirens were sounding.

russia's invasion had begun, leaving many here shocked —— russia's invasion had begun, president vladimir putin said he had launched a special military operation. it left many ukrainians shocked, scared,. a member of the un security council violated the borders of another country. a year on, ukraine is still standing, supported by massive military and moral support, and majorfinancial and humanitarian assistance from countries the world over. on that day, the nato military alliance convened in emergency session. its secretary general jens stoltenberg said he condemned the invasion in the strongest possible terms. jens stoltenberg joins us now from the estonian capital.

welcome to the programme, jens stoltenberg. one year ago today jager called on russian troops to withdraw and yet all the signs are that they will intensify the war this year. what are your thoughts as the war enters its second year? you are precisely — the war enters its second year? tm are precisely right, president putin is not prepared for peace. president putin is preparing for more war, fought new offensives, throwing in thousands of soldiers and new weapons, getting help from authoritarian regimes like north korea. if president putin wins it will be a tragedy for ukrainians but also dangerous to us all, make us

more vulnerable. we need to support ukraine. the vice in his state of the union address this week, president putin blamed the western military alliance, particularly the us, saying that you and your advancement was to blame for this devastating war. can anything more be done to try to repair these torn relations? , ,, be done to try to repair these torn relations?- we _ be done to try to repair these torn relations?- we try _ be done to try to repair these torn relations?- we try to - be done to try to repair these torn relations? geet: we try to build relations? gest: we try to build better relations _ relations? gest: we try to build better relations with _ relations? gest: we try to build better relations with russia, i relations? gest: we try to build better relations with russia, we try to prevent the invasion that we had precise intelligence about russian plans to invade ukraine and we shared that months ahead, we engaged in efforts with russia but russia and president putin decided to carry on, to invade ukraine, because president putin wants a europe that

he can control neighbours and use force to achieve what he wants. the fighting did not start in february last year, it started in 2014 when he annexed crimea and went into eastern donbas, and this goes back to the invasion of georgia in 2008, so we need to stop this cycle of russian aggression and stop russia from chipping away at european security. again, the answer is to stand together and provide support to ukraine. bhd stand together and provide support to ukraine. : , , ., to ukraine. and yet she warned recently that — to ukraine. and yet she warned recently that this _ to ukraine. and yet she warned recently that this war _ to ukraine. and yet she warned recently that this war could i to ukraine. and yet she warned | recently that this war could last, you were quoted as saying, many, many, many years —— and yet you want to recently. you must worry about continuing to provide the level of ammunition and weaponry that ukraine would need to continue the fight for so long? would need to continue the fight for

ukraine. as you know, there has been a attern ukraine. as you know, there has been a pattern between _ ukraine. as you know, there has been a pattern between the _ ukraine. as you know, there has been a pattern between the announcement| a pattern between the announcement of military support and its arrival on the ground sometimes taking months, which is held ukraine back in its efforts to protect its territory. is there any way that can be improved? tote territory. is there any way that can be improved?— territory. is there any way that can be improved? we are working hard, nato allies and _ be improved? we are working hard, nato allies and our— be improved? we are working hard, nato allies and our partners, i be improved? we are working hard, nato allies and our partners, both l nato allies and our partners, both to increase the volume and the speed we are delivering support. one thing we are delivering support. one thing we have seen very clearly is in addition to delivering the specific weapon systems, we need to be able to deliver all the different stuff we need to sustain, meaning ammunition, spare parts, fuel, maintenance. it is a huge effort and a lot of transportation and logistics have had to be carried out to be able to have for instance battle tanks that operate. allies

are working hard, speeding up, but of course there is always room for further improvement and we are working with out every day. president zelensky is now asking for fighterjets, he says it is necessary if you want to end the war as soon as possible. what are you saying to members of the alliance when it comes to fighterjets? tla when it comes to fighterjets? tt2 decision has been made and we are constantly consulting our allies on these issues. the type of support we are providing has evolved as the war has. in the beginning, it was light anti—tank weapons like javelins, the light anti—aircraft systems and other types of anti—aircraft systems, then we moved into more heavy artillery and advanced air defence systems and now more armour,

also battle tanks from the uk and from other nato allies. again, i think it is extremely important to discuss new types of systems but perhaps even more important to ensure that all the systems function as they should, meaning old ammunition, spare parts, maintenance, they need to be operational —— meaning all ammunition, spare parts, maintenance. tt ammunition, spare parts, maintenance.— ammunition, spare parts, maintenance. , ., , ~'., maintenance. it is not 'ust ukraine askin: for maintenance. it is not 'ust ukraine asking for extra i maintenance. it is notjust ukraine asking for extra military _ maintenance. it is notjust ukraine asking for extra military support, i asking for extra military support, even the baltic states, nervous about possible russian plans, are asking for that same advanced weaponry to be based on baltic states. president biden took note, do you think this will be the next stage? t do you think this will be the next state? ., , : stage? i mentioned president biden and the leaders _ stage? i mentioned president biden and the leaders of _ stage? i mentioned president biden and the leaders of the _ stage? i mentioned president biden and the leaders of the nine - and the leaders of the nine countries in the eastern part of the alliance, this week, and they want nato to be present —— i met with

president biden and. nato has dramatically increased its presence in this part of europe, i am in tallinn in estonia. this started after 2014. tallinn in estonia. this started after2014. nato tallinn in estonia. this started after 2014. nato decided for the first time in history to have combat troops in the eastern part of the alliance and when we saw in the fall of 2021 that russia was planning an invasion, we increased our presence here, backed also by significant forces, so in many ways the most important thing nato is doing is to protect all allies, protecting the space to provide support to ukraine. on the day of the invasion we activated our defence plans and added further trips and forces to send a very clear message to moscow that nato is here to protect every nato territory —— added further

troops and forces. we wanted to remove any question about our willingness to protect our allies. jens stoltenberg, the secretary—general of the nato military alliance, thank you for joining us from the capital, telling. —— the ukrainian capital, tallinn. the allies have been standing together this week and have said they will continue to provide ukraine with the support it needs, but for all of the support, the stoicism and the spirit of the ukrainian people, this war has been enormously costly for ukraine and its people. my colleague paul adams looks at the cost of this conflict so far. it is not easy to get your head around the sheer scale of what has happened in ukraine over the past 12 months. this is the biggest

conflict in europe since the second world war, the un reckons at least 8000 ukrainian civilians have been killed. over 8000 ukrainian civilians have been killed. 0ver13,000 8000 ukrainian civilians have been killed. over 13,000 injured. those arejust the thing killed. over 13,000 injured. those are just the thing is we know about. more than 13 million people are homeless, 8 million are refugees in europe —— those are just the figures we know about. millions more are still in the country but not in their homes. the un believes 21 million people, half of the country because my prewar population, needs help. large parts of eastern and southern ukraine are in ruins, more than 1000 educational buildings have been attacked and more than 750 health care facilities, theatres, libraries and religious buildings have also been targeted. russia's attack was fast. within days of invading its forces were at the gates of the capital, kyiv. huge chunks of the east and the south were in russian hands. ukraine

fought back, forcing the kremlin to abandon its attempt to take the capital and pushing russian forces back first in the north—east and then in the south, where the city of kurdistan was liberated. the kostin soldiers' lights has been immense. —— the city of kherson. ukraine is estimated to have as many as 100,000 dead or wounded, for russia as many as 200,000 casualties with a higher proportion killed. the were transparent to the defence of ukraine in one of the most remarkable efforts of its kind ever seen. from anti—tank weapons to sophisticated artillery systems and tanks and armoured vehicles on their way even now. ukraine's allies have so far promised more than $65 billion of military age, the united states by far the biggest donor. none of this has brought the war to

an end, most people agree it is likely to go on for a lot longer, killing more people aren't swallowing up vast resources. with no peace process insight, the cost of this terrible macro can only rise. —— the cost of this terrible war. you are watching bbc news. this hardly needs saying that this past year has been a year like no other for ukraine. past year has been a year like no otherfor ukraine. i'm notjust ukraine, the war has shaped this entire region, drawing ukraine's nervous neighbours into a much closer relationship with the nato military alliance, as we have already heard from the secretary—general nato, jens stoltenberg. president putin said he wanted to push away nato but instead it has come even closer to ukraine and its neighbours. joining us now

is the president of the baltic state of latvia. thank you very much for joining us. you might president biden this week in poland, along with other leaders of this region. were you reassured by the message he brought to the region? tt were you reassured by the message he brought to the region?— brought to the region? it was a owerful brought to the region? it was a powerful demonstration i brought to the region? it was a powerful demonstration of i brought to the region? it was a powerful demonstration of the | brought to the region? it was a i powerful demonstration of the unity of nato and of transatlantic unity. president biden confirmed responsibility of the us for the security of europe, for our common security, and also he was committed to support ukraine. ukraine is now fighting for europe, for the worst, it is our duty to support ukraine. the military support has increased

and in the next weeks and months when the decisive offensive of russia will start, when ukraine should be ready to defend itself, for nato member states and the west as a whole they should support ukraine with military equipment. we are doing so. as you know, president zelensky has been asking tar are doing so. as you know, president zelensky has been askin- zelensky has been asking for not 'ust zelensky has been asking for not just tanks. _ zelensky has been asking for not just tanks, battle _ zelensky has been asking for not just tanks, battle tanks - zelensky has been asking for not just tanks, battle tanks and i just tanks, battle tanks and ammunition, he is asking for fighter jets. is that a request you believe should be responded to positively? it is not possible to deliver fighterjets immediately because fighter jets immediately because also fighterjets immediately because also they need pilots and ukrainian pilots trades, as —— a train, as we

know, in some ukrainian countries. so the general decision is not to have read lines but we should give to ukraine what is useful. your colleague, the president of lithuania, said tojoe biden, that there should be the sales under the defence systems, do you echo this call? , ., ., ., .,, call? yes, the whole nato eastern flank should _ call? yes, the whole nato eastern flank should be _ call? yes, the whole nato eastern flank should be strengthened, i call? yes, the whole nato eastern | flank should be strengthened, with more deployment of nato troops. it is already done by us troops and other allies so that the strengthening of the nato eastern flank is a basis for the security in europe and this has already been

decided by the last nato summit in madrid and they are implementing this, for example in the next years in each border country, estonia, latvia etc, to have a nato troop deployment. latvia etc, to have a nato troop deployment-— latvia etc, to have a nato troop delo ment. , , , deployment. president egils levits of latvia, thank— deployment. president egils levits of latvia, thank you _ deployment. president egils levits of latvia, thank you for _ deployment. president egils levits of latvia, thank you forjoining i deployment. president egils levits of latvia, thank you forjoining usi of latvia, thank you forjoining us with your reflections on this one year mark of russia's invasion of ukraine. one year ago friends and foes of ukraine expected a very short war. here in the capital kyiv military analysts said it could be a matter of three days. in those first fateful 24 hours, president volodymyr zelensky received repeated offers of evacuation and exile, including from the united states, but instead the former comedian turned president seize this moment, fraught with risk, by recording one

of his trademark selfie videos in the dark and dangerous kyiv streets, surrounded by his closest advisers who were then wearing military attire. the message, we are here. for many weeks after the world held its breath and most of all the people here at the ukrainian capital, that kyiv did not fall, despite the ominous presence of russian tanks and troops all around the edges of this capital. over the past year ukraine has notjust offended its land but also taken territory. our international editor jeremy bowen looks back at this year. the russians expected a quick victory, taking back what president putin thinks is there. one year later, the war is not close to over. ukrainians are fighting back in a war ukraine believes it is vital to global security. this volunteer

the war might spread beyond ukraine. one year on, a new irpin bridge and the old challenge, avoiding direct confrontation between russia and nato. the way that ukrainians stopped the russians just back the change to have a calculation about the war. nato saw it had an ally worth supporting and be moved very fast to do that. that has carried heavy costs, economic, a massive military commitment and even the risk of nuclear war. ukrainians are conscious that future nato governments might not want to carry that heavy a burden, which is why they are calling 2023 their year of victory. ukraine's fighting spirit is intact but neither side has the edge it would need to win. these were ukrainian volunteers are

the union address this week he repeated his view that ukraine threatened russia. it was, he said, an existential battle, and he blames the west again for this confrontation. let's go to the russian capital and speak to our russian capital and speak to our russia editor steve rosenberg. what are the commentators saying in russia today about this conflict, one year on the?— russia today about this conflict, one year on the? what i find really interesting — one year on the? what i find really interesting is _ one year on the? what i find really interesting is that _ one year on the? what i find really interesting is that the _ one year on the? what i find really interesting is that the one-year . interesting is that the one—year anniversary is not news in russia today. the bulletins on russian television gloss over the fact that the special military operation has not had its desired effect, it has not had its desired effect, it has not produced a swift military victory for the kremlin? things have not gone according to plan, we had seen heavy russian military

casualties, the kremlin has had to mobilise people, drafting hundreds of thousands of russian citizens into the army. despite all of that, when you listen to vladimir putin making speeches, when you read the comments he has been making, it is clear he remains determined to push on, to carry on. if that means raising the stakes, so be edge, escalating things, so be it. he believes he still has a chance of securing something he could present as a victory, a victory over ukraine and is a victory over the west. this is what seems _ and is a victory over the west. this is what seems to _ and is a victory over the west. this is what seems to be _ and is a victory over the west. this is what seems to be on the agenda in the current weeks, and escalation of that spring offensive that so many now speak of?— now speak of? yes, escalation, definitely- _ now speak of? yes, escalation, definitely. we _ now speak of? yes, escalation, definitely. we will _ now speak of? yes, escalation, definitely. we will not - now speak of? yes, escalation, definitely. we will not see - now speak of? yes, escalation, definitely. we will not see a - now speak of? yes, escalation, -

definitely. we will not see a u-turn definitely. we will not see a u—turn from vladimir putin, he does not do u—turns. i sense a definite change in messaging. you mentioned that putin started the special military operation and for months at the w word, war, it was too blue, you did not hear it on state television —— it was taboo. now the russian authorities are reframing what has happened is a war but crucially not one that russia started, they present this as a war that the west began, they claim it is nato, america at the anglo—saxon world and the collective west which is fighting a war against russia on the territory of ukraine with the aim of destroying russia, dividing it into pieces like napoleon and hitler, and this messaging is extremely powerful, very potent and very persuasive and it is helping the kremlin retain quite a lot of support among the russian public for what it is doing.—

what it is doing. steve rosenberg, thank ou what it is doing. steve rosenberg, thank you yet _ what it is doing. steve rosenberg, thank you yet again _ what it is doing. steve rosenberg, thank you yet again for _ what it is doing. steve rosenberg, thank you yet again forjoining - what it is doing. steve rosenberg, thank you yet again forjoining us i thank you yet again forjoining us from moscow. russia made it absolutely clear that one of its main goals was to completely capture eastern ukraine, the territory is known as the donbas, that is where the fighting is at its most intense, mostly about the besieged city of bakhmut. our senior international correspondent orla ciaran has been going in and out of bakhmut, she joins us orla ciaran has been going in and out of bakhmut, shejoins us now from a nearby town. —— orla guerin. it has been said the fighting around bakhmut intensified in the run—up to the one—year mark, is that what you have seen on the ground? that the one-year mark, is that what you have seen on the ground?— have seen on the ground? that is certainly what — have seen on the ground? that is certainly what we _ have seen on the ground? that is certainly what we have _ have seen on the ground? that is certainly what we have been - have seen on the ground? that is} certainly what we have been from fighters inside. there was a big push as far back as lastjuly on the part of the russians, at that stage

it was mainly the wagner group, the mercenary group, sending wave after wave of fighters, but since that regular russian troops have been put into the mix. it seems pretty clear vladimir putin wanted to capture bakhmut by today, this anniversary, he wanted a prize to show. we know he wanted a prize to show. we know he likes to mark significant dates. back was the price he was after, in the last few months it has become a real symbol of ukrainian resistance. the ukrainians are hanging on but i would say they are really hanging on by a thread. when we were inside the city with the 93rd brigade they are going —— we were moving street to street with that amount could see how close the enemy was, we could see mortar units firing and while we were filming there was a mess fire, one of the shells they were trying to use did not actually leave the

tube and they told us this was old ammunition that had been brought in from abroad. they were battling if you like with the back of ammunition too. the up to date situation is ukrainian still held the city, against the odds in many ways, but the russians have control over the two main routes into the city, they can no longer be used. there is one centre back route just about usable and that is the lifeline that ukrainian troops rely on, but the russians are moving in on both sides of that road. if and when they cut back roads it will be too late for ukrainian troops to withdraw from bakhmut, so there is much speculation that sooner or later about withdrawal they had to be ordered in order to save lives and ammunition, so you can fight the next battles. —— so ukraine can. there have been conversation between western military officials and the

ukrainians about perhaps it would be better to pull back its forces from and concentrate on more strategic location but it seems that ukrainians want to continue the fight for every inch of ukrainian territory. fight for every inch of ukrainian territo . , , ., territory. definitely, that feeling is there abroad, _ territory. definitely, that feeling is there abroad, that _ territory. definitely, that feeling is there abroad, that the - territory. definitely, that feeling is there abroad, that the wiser l is there abroad, that the wiser choice now would be to withdraw from back mute while there is still time and that could be runningous quickly, but when you put that to fighters inside, they say look, we are tying down the russian, we are bog, them down, exhausting them, we are inflicting heavy losses upon them and we are stopping them from moving on from back mute towards cities like this, to kramatorsk and slovyansk. the reality is that the ukrainians are suffering heavy losses in bakhmut, we don't know because they won't tell us, i spoke

to a volunteer medic, and he said the situation was hell, he said he had never seen anything like it and he has been here since the beginning of can conflict. just a word about where we are, you may be able to see some of the damage behind me, this was a multistorey apartment block, it was hit on the 1st february by a ballistic missile. and four civilians were killed here this is one very small example, one year on, of what vladimir putin has been doing, not only here in the east of ukraine, but in cities and towns across the country. thank you orla to you and your team for your coverage. the course of the war has not been the intense fighting, the attacks by russian forces which have laid entire villages and town, even cities to waste. there is also been a catalogue of war crime, and

investigators have been on the ground when russian forces have treated, including from the suburbs of the capital kyiv, collecting the evidence they say is needed if there is to be one day an accountability for the crimes committed in this war. let us go to budapest to join the head of the united nations human rights monitoring mission, in ukraine, thank you forjoining us here on the bbc. how would you describe the human rights that you and your colleague have been involved in monitoring? oh, thank you for having me. over the last year, in all honesty it has been shocking what monday stores have seen, we go out on a daily basis, to visit communities, close to the front line, other communities that are particularly affected by this armed conflict. we have

reported more than 8,000 civilian deaths, we have recorded more than 13,000 civilians injured in over 1,000 settlements across the country, these are just the cases we have recorded ourselfs of, so clearly the numbers are thousands higher than what we have seen. this is impacting civilian, it is also the violations are also impacting prisoners of war and other persons who would be protected under international humanitarian law and have been... violations. most international humanitarian law and have been. .. violations.— international humanitarian law and have been... violations. most of the attention has — have been... violations. most of the attention has focused _ have been... violations. most of the attention has focused on _ have been... violations. most of the attention has focused on allegations| attention has focused on allegations of war crimes committed by russian forces, but have you also been paying tainion to the activities of the ukrainian forces, on front lines and beyond?— and beyond? certainly, we look at all violations _

and beyond? certainly, we look at all violations that _ and beyond? certainly, we look at all violations that happen - and beyond? certainly, we look at all violations that happen on - and beyond? certainly, we look at all violations that happen on the l all violations that happen on the territory of ukraine, whether they are committed by russian forces or ukrainian forces, are committed by russian forces or ukrainianforces, ukrainian are committed by russian forces or ukrainian forces, ukrainian forces have committed violations, we have seen violations in terms of the conduct of hostilities, in particular if you look at donbas in the east, specifically, lieu afghanistan region and the donetsk region, there have been civilians killed in the areas that are occupied by the russian federation, sometimes in shelling that has been indiscriminate or not significant precautions taken to ensure that the safety of civilians, we have also seen prisoners of war, russian prisoner of prisoner of wars are ill—treated. we have seen summary executions and some have been publicly on videos on social media. the authorities in ukraine have

opened investigations into a couple of those allegations of summary executions and torture but we have not seen progress, we have not seen convictions of those responsible. thank you very much forjoining us to discuss the work of the united nations human rights monitoring mission. thank you very much for updating us. so many millions have thrown themselves into this war effort, doing whatever they can, to support the soldiers and the civilians and the soldiers and the civilians and the needs are enormous, ukraine has been changed forever in this conflict and so has its people and the lives they have lived. i have spent some time this week 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 i 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's just 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 0lena 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, lieutenant colonel larysa yakubchok, nearly 30 years in uniform. she's seen the change. translation: sometimes it's difficult for men to accept - 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 notjust 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.

once ukrainian recover from once ukrainian recoverfrom the shock of invasion of their country they have been saying to this day, that this is a war that they can and will win, at the one year mark they are saying even more, are saying right up to president zelensky, that this is a war that they will win this is a war that they will win this year. is that possible from what we see on the battlefield? does it seem possible it can end? they can't have it both way, they say to get the victory they want they need the tanks which they have had the go—ahead for that but they won't arrive next week or the next couple of months in the force they

wan, they say they want long range artillery, nato having agreed to that. they say they need an air force, nato hasn't agreed to that either, so, no, ithink of force, nato hasn't agreed to that either, so, no, i think of course a leader is going to put the brightest gloss on it that he can, but the fact is that the ukrainians are worried that the russians are in it for the long gain, putin said in his state of the nation address the other day, that we will not lose on the battlefield, and i think the ukrainians are also worried there will be some nato governments not joe biden but others who mightjust get a bit sick of the cost of supporting them, and will start pressuring them to take a deal to give up some territory, in return for a ceasefire, or some kind of peace agreement, which is of course not what they want because zelensky said we want enevery inch back. russia has been mobilising more troops to put them the trench and on the front lines it is possible they will throw everything at it and we

will throw everything at it and we will see other turns in this war? absolutely, i think one thing that needs to be watched closely at the moment is what the chinese are doing. well, week or ten days ago the americans were saying and they are, they have this new policy of revealing some of their intelligence, that they believe the chinese are preparing to provide military supplies to the russian, if china did that, a very big military power, the world's centre of manufacturing, then it is potentially something of a game change e it certainly makes the international global implications of this conflict much more pressing, and rather more dangerous. i think this year one of the big challenges for nato, for the outside world is to try to control the pace of escalation as it happens. its, to try to control the pace of escalation as it happens. a worry about escalation, _ escalation as it happens. a worry about escalation, and _ escalation as it happens. a worry about escalation, and a - escalation as it happens. a worry about escalation, and a worry - escalation as it happens. a worry| about escalation, and a worry too about escalation, and a worry too about the rising tensions between moscow and washington, we saw it

this week. i moscow and washington, we saw it this week. , ., this week. i 'ust had the feeling putin was this week. ijust had the feeling putin was making _ this week. ijust had the feeling putin was making speech, - this week. ijust had the feeling | putin was making speech, biden this week. i just had the feeling - putin was making speech, biden was making speeches, that the, if you like the dividing lines are so clear now, very ideological, not the kind of dividing lines of come on we can make a deal about this, no, a zero sum game, biden, democracy. freedom. putin, the west is out to get us, russia doesn't lose, we don't, we don't lose wars we end wars. where is the ground there? there is no chance whatever of any kind of negotiations, so, i cannot see this war ending credibly this year, and i can see unexpected and dangerous risks of escalation, yes, it a worry thing, we can't get complacent. jeremy bowen, thank you very much forjoining us. president biden in poland emphasised as we have been

hearing from jeremy, that russia will never, he said, he victorious in ukraine. he vowed to continue supporting ukraine in this fight. what will be the pressures at home, let us go to new york and speak to the cbs news correspondent jared hill. we know when president biden was here in this region there was some criticism back home, certainly mange his republican rivals, what do you think the domestic support is for this continuing this war, at this level? 50 for this continuing this war, at this level?— for this continuing this war, at this level? ., , , . this level? so there has been recent ollina this level? so there has been recent polling looking _ this level? so there has been recent polling looking at — this level? so there has been recent polling looking at the the _ this level? so there has been recent polling looking at the the different l polling looking at the the different between now and may of 2022. it shows that it has dropped some across the board, but still the numbers in terms of support are pretty strong, about 48% of americans stilt believe the us should be sending weapons to ukraine, that is compared to 60, not too long after this war started in

2022. as far as money going directly only about 37% are in favour, a lot of that support, though, is along the lines of democrats near the united states, republicans here and in congress have been more critical of sending more aid, more money to ukraine, and they also want to have a closer watch over how that money is being spent. 1 a closer watch over how that money is being spent-— is being spent. i am affrayed we have to leave _ is being spent. i am affrayed we have to leave it _ is being spent. i am affrayed we have to leave it there, - is being spent. i am affrayed we have to leave it there, thank - is being spent. i am affrayed we| have to leave it there, thank you for updating us on the the mood on in the united states. for a last leek at this war one year on i am joined by my colleague from the bbc ukrainian service, i know you had to flee with your son this time, and you are back, how does it feel to be back if your city? it is you are back, how does it feel to be back if your city?— back if your city? it is very weird, to feel, back if your city? it is very weird, to feel. to _ back if your city? it is very weird, to feel, to coming _ back if your city? it is very weird, to feel, to coming back _ back if your city? it is very weird, to feel, to coming back to - back if your city? it is very weird, to feel, to coming back to your . back if your city? it is very weird, i to feel, to coming back to your city as a guest, and it is very emotional

a children's football session in omagh 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. northern ireland's main political leaders are speaking have been speaking following a meeting with chief constable simon byrne we do not estimate, underestimate from the point of the police service, how important it is that we are joined today, service, how important it is that we arejoined today, in an service, how important it is that we are joined today, in an active unity from all the political parties across northern ireland. clearly we know from what we have done so far and from commentary from across the community, and the political spectrum, the sheer sense of outrage at this pointless and senseless attack on detective chief inspector john caldwell. john remains in hospital, where he is critically ill and heavily sedated. we have arrested a further man overnight, in relation to this investigation, he is now in custody and also been

questioned by detectives. since we spoke yesterday, last night, i had the chance to speak tojohn's wife, and his son. they are clearly heavily affected by what they have gone through but want to pass on their thanks to the people that rendered first—aid and care at the scene but in terms of the outpouring of support from across the community, in relation to this awful outrage, clearly today, we have had a chance to talk to political leaders about the pace and context of this investigation. what it means for policing and what we sense will happen in the next few day, but again, we echo our thanks because it has rippled through the organisation, about how important it is, that we are joined by organisation, about how important it is, that we arejoined by in organisation, about how important it is, that we are joined by in this unique time to show that we stand together, and call out this outrage for what it is. we will take questions in a few moments but i will leaf it to political colleagues now to add a few words one by one if they want to. thank you to to the

chief constable. i they want to. thank you to to the chief constable.— chief constable. i think that it is so important — chief constable. i think that it is so important in _ chief constable. i think that it is so important in moments - chief constable. i think that it is so important in moments like i chief constable. i think that it is i so important in moments like this chief constable. i think that it is - so important in moments like this we stand _ so important in moments like this we stand united and we stand here united — stand united and we stand here united as — stand united and we stand here united as one voice in our condemnation against this horrific attack_ condemnation against this horrific attack on — condemnation against this horrific attack on a — condemnation against this horrific attack on a police officer, someone who is_ attack on a police officer, someone who is part — attack on a police officer, someone who is part of our community, and i think— who is part of our community, and i think that _ who is part of our community, and i think that the most powerful message that we _ think that the most powerful message that we as _ think that the most powerful message that we as political leaders can do is stand _ that we as political leaders can do is stand with the chief constabletor, stand with the police service _ constabletor, stand with the police service and say this is hot good enough. — service and say this is hot good enough, this is an attack on us and our community and finally the only other— our community and finally the only other thing i would want to say is my thoughts remain with the family, these _ my thoughts remain with the family, these are, _ my thoughts remain with the family, these are, that family who are going through— these are, that family who are going through a _ these are, that family who are going through a trauma, they are sitting at a hospital bed, this is a son who has witnessed his father being attacked in this callous way, so my thoughts _ attacked in this callous way, so my thoughts are very very much with john's— thoughts are very very much with john's family today. on thoughts are very very much with john's family today.— thoughts are very very much with john's family today. on behalf of my own -a i john's family today. on behalf of my own party i would — john's family today. on behalf of my own party i would like _ john's family today. on behalf of my own party i would like to _ john's family today. on behalf of my own party i would like to extend - john's family today. on behalf of my own party i would like to extend to l own party i would like to extend to the chief _ own party i would like to extend to the chief constable _ own party i would like to extend to the chief constable and _ own party i would like to extend to the chief constable and his - the chief constable and his colleagues, _ the chief constable and his colleagues, and _ the chief constable and his colleagues, and of- the chief constable and his colleagues, and of course, | the chief constable and his i colleagues, and of course, to the chief constable and his - colleagues, and of course, to dci john caldwell _ colleagues, and of course, to dci john caldwell and _ colleagues, and of course, to dci john caldwell and his _ colleagues, and of course, to dci john caldwell and his family, - colleagues, and of course, to dci john caldwell and his family, our| john caldwell and his family, our thoughts —

hello. february may be the driest of the three winter months, but for some of it's been particularly dry. in some areas, reservoir levels have started to drop once again. understandable, especially across england, where some of the driest conditions have been just li% of normal rainfall in ipswich. though dry, wettest places have been in the north of scotland, the only parts to see above average rainfall. and our forecast for the coming days shows that many will continue that dry theme as we see february out and go into march. the reason why, it's all down to an area of high pressure which is set to build in across the uk and just sit there keeping rain bearing areas of low pressure well away. now the closest we're going to get to some wetter weather for some of you will be today. of you will be today , across parts of england and wales and northern ireland, an area of patchy rain pushing its way southwards. very much hit and miss a lot of clouds associated with that. most of the areas, though, continue to see sunshine develop widely isolated shower to in the north and the east. but here a strengthening northerly breeze. and even though temperatures will be a degree or so above

what we were yesterday, it will feel colder along those eastern coast as that breeze picks up. so that's how friday shapes up. finish with a cloud. patchy rain across the south, that departs, but the wind tonight will strengthen across the eastern areas that will bring in the odd shower, very isolated, rain for those who do see them. one or two of the hills could see a bit of sleet and snow. but really, for most of you tonight, it's going to be a dry night, a clear night and a cold one. central western areas, a widespread frost into tomorrow. so area of high pressure starts to build in this weekend, on the edge of it to begin with, around the edges, which are going to be across eastern areas and down towards the south of england and channel islands. this is where we see the strongest of the winds. bring in some patchy cloud, one or two isolated showers to begin with. that cloud will expand more widely. still some sunny spells into the afternoon, but the sun is conditions will continue in western scotland and northern ireland are cold today though six to nine degrees. the highs down eastern coast with the added wind chill. it will feel closer to around two or three. now some of these scenarios will see the winds ease a touch into sunday. the high pressure builds further,

but it's in the south and southeast where the strongest of the winds will then be located, touching gale force towards the kent coast like saturday. touching gale force towards the kent coast like saturday we start off with some cloud in eastern areas, develop a bit more widely, some sunny breaks, best of which remain across western scotland, northern ireland and maybe down towards the english channel. and then the days ahead. the dry theme continues into march. isolated shower possible but feeling cool especially. inthe breeze in the south.

today at one — we're live in kyiv on the first anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. munitions boom. sirens sound. 12 months after the country woke to the sounds of shelling and sirens been a year of bravery and a year of pain. translation: a year of unity, a year of invincibility, - a fierce year of invincibility. its main conclusion is that we have survived, we have not been defeated. i will do everything to win this year.

as the fighting continues with no end yet in sight,
