finland will officially become a member of nato later on tuesday. a passenger train crash in the netherlands kills one person and at least 30 people are �*seriously injured' london city becomes the second uk airport to scrap rules on liquid limits in hand luggage. and australia bans tiktok on all government—owned devices because of safety concerns. finland is set to become the 31st member of nato later on tuesday,

completing a historic security policy shift. that was triggered by the invasion of ukraine by russia, with which finland shares a long border. in response to this, moscow said it would strengthen its military capacity in its western and northwestern regions. while sweden remains in the waiting room still, nato secretary generaljens stoltenberg says as a result, �*sweden will also be safer�*. let's get the latest from kyiv and our correspondent hugo bachega. asi as i mentioned there, hugo, this sparked by russia's invasion of ukraine just over a year ago. what is ukraine's reaction to this? yeah, i think the ukrainians _ is ukraine's reaction to this? yeah, i think the ukrainians are _ is ukraine's reaction to this? yeah, i think the ukrainians are watching | i think the ukrainians are watching it very closely and obviously, as you said, this decision by finland was triggered by russia's invasion of ukraine. and today is a major symbolic moment. finland abandoned

decades of military nonalignment and obviously seeking nato security guarantees. finland shares a very long border with russia and by joining nato as a full member it is going to get nato security guarantees. one of the founding principles of nato is that an attack on one member is seen as an attack on one member is seen as an attack on the entire alliance. so a very important day for finland and obviously president putin has been a sharp critic of nato. he sees nato as a major security threat. and i think what is interesting is the nato chief has been saying that this is exactly the opposite of president putin wanted. he is getting more nato, not less. and i think here in kyiv the authorities are watching very carefully because president zelensky has been saying he wants ukraine to be part of nato. last year kyiv applied for membership,

even though there hasn't been any kind of formal response to that. it is not a possibility for ukraine to join nato during the war. but i think what is happening today is extremely symbolic and obviously the ukrainians are following it very closely. ukrainians are following it very closel . . ~ ukrainians are following it very closel. ., ~ ukrainians are following it very closel . ., ~ ., , ukrainians are following it very closel . . ~' ., , , closely. thank you for bringing us u . closely. thank you for bringing us u- to fiuht closely. thank you for bringing us up to fight on _ closely. thank you for bringing us up to fight on fighting. _ closely. thank you for bringing us up to fight on fighting. wagner. closely. thank you for bringing us i up to fight on fighting. wagner have raised the russian flag in a fiercely contested region of eastern ukraine. i fiercely contested region of eastern ukraine. ~ , ., , ., ukraine. i think questions remain about what _ ukraine. i think questions remain about what is _ ukraine. i think questions remain about what is happening - ukraine. i think questions remain about what is happening there. . ukraine. i think questions remain | about what is happening there. we had an update from the ukrainian army saying that russia is continuing to seize the city of

bakhmut. the claim that it has been claimed has been strongly rejected by the ukrainian authorities. we have been talking about the battle for bakhmut for a very long time. ukrainians say it is very important to defend bakhmut. they say that the russians were to take it they would be able to attack major cities in the east of the country. they also say that it is important to keep the russians engaged in this war of attrition. the russians have suffered major losses in bakhmut. and the ukrainians are preparing what is expected to be a major offensive to try to take back territory that is now under occupation. and for the russians, they need a victory after a number of setbacks. so it is a city that is now extremely symbolic for both sides and we understand that the russians have made some gains there in bakhmut and the ukrainian say

they fighting continues.— in bakhmut and the ukrainian say they fighting continues. hugo, thank ou for they fighting continues. hugo, thank you for bringing _ they fighting continues. hugo, thank you for bringing us _ they fighting continues. hugo, thank you for bringing us the _ they fighting continues. hugo, thank you for bringing us the latest. - to netherlands now, where one person has been confirmed dead and about thirty are injured in a train crash. rescue teams are at the scene of the accident near the village of voorschoten between the hague and amsterdam. the authorities say the train — carrying about 50 passengers — was derailed after it hit a crane. the two front carriages are lying on their sides and the rear carriage caught fire. most of the injured have been taken to hospital in utrecht — others are being cared for in homes near the crash site. let's get the latest with anna holligan, who is at the scene. explain what we can see behind you and we know about what has happened. well, this gives you an idea of the devastation that has occurred in first. i'mjust devastation that has occurred in first. i'm just going to step aside so that you can see the carriages

here. —— voorschoten. you might go to see in the distance some of the overhead lines are also down and around here you can see the emergency workers, the investigators, crash site investigators, crash site investigators, are already at work. and just behind them some of the local people who rushed to help. so there were 50 people on board this train. it was 325 local time, 125 gmt. according to investigators so far it looks as though a small crane that was working on a construction site had gone onto the track and two of the tracks were already closed for work but it looks like this has obstructed the trains travelling between leiden central station and the hague. we know that 19 were taken to hospital, seriously injured. ii taken to hospital, seriously injured. 11 treated here at the scene. the train driver has broken

bones but he is conscious in hospital. and we can't go much closer, as you can imagine. they have cordoned off the scene to allow the investigators to gather evidence. it is still not entirely clear what happened. and the people who operate, the company that operates the train, has refused to comment. so they have referred journalists to the train operators. the queen, the king and queen on the prime minister have been sharing their condolences. the prime minister said his thoughts were with all involved and the king and queen said similar. this is an extremely rare event. anywhere but especially here in the netherlands, which has such a high rail safety record. it is rare for trains to even be late, let alone encounter this kind of devastation here. ok. let alone encounter this kind of devastation here.— let alone encounter this kind of devastation here. ~ ., ., ., devastation here. 0k, anna holligan, thank ou devastation here. ok, anna holligan, thank you for— devastation here. 0k, anna holligan, thank you for bringing _ devastation here. 0k, anna holligan, thank you for bringing us _ devastation here. 0k, anna holligan, thank you for bringing us the - devastation here. 0k, anna holligan, thank you for bringing us the latest . thank you for bringing us the latest from the scene of that crash in which one person has died. london

city has become only the second uk airport to scrap the current limits on liquids. from 100 mililitres to two litres. that's thanks to new x ray machines which are now in place across all its security lanes. other major airports are due to bring in the technology next year. katy austin reports. change is arriving. restrictions on what can go in cabin baggage came in in 2006, after a plot to bring down flights was uncovered. now, any liquids must be in containers of less than 100 millilitres, all put in a clear plastic bag. laptops must be taken out. at london city airport, high—tech machines at security mean that rule has ended. how about the things in my bag, then? so, i've come prepared with my toothpaste and my deodorant in a plastic bag. yeah, you don't need the small plastic bag any more, you can leave all your liquids inside the bag. great, so i'll put those back in. and these large liquids,

they are well over 100 millilitres, can i take those through? yeah. previously, they would have been confiscated but now you can take them through, you can take up to two litres in a bottle. 0k. and then finally... laptop? yeah, again, it all stays in the bag. everything remains in the back and can go straight through. so through it goes. we can't actually film the new ct scanners for security reasons but what they do is provide an advanced 3d image of everything in the bags. passengers we spoke to had noticed the difference. it so much easier. indistinct. ..normally you have to take everything out and put it in a clear bag. if it works, it is definitelyl going to be much quicker, so i'm happy about that. did it seem quicker? yes, it did. i didn't have to take my laptop out, essentially. j there is far less queueing, everybody getting everything in and out of the bags again. it's a lot easier. the level of processing now through the x—ray is even more secure than it was previously. and in terms of throughput now,

we can get 30% more passengers through than we could previously. some other countries already use similar technology and before the pandemic came along, the uk aimed to have it in place by the end of last year. now, the government has told all major uk airports to have it byjune 202a. currently, most do still have the liquids restrictions we are all used to. this is the beginning of the end for that annoying 100 millilitre restriction. passengers though need to check, is the airport on the way out and the way back going to have this two—litre rule? or are you in the old system? because for now this is a very small number of airports. where they are in place, the new rules should take some of the hassle out of holidays. katie austin at city airport there. a deaf woman who was unable to communicate with paramedics after her husband died has described her traumatic ordeal. elizabeth corbett now wants ambulance crews to learn basic sign

a lack of rain in recent years has meant that the northeast of spain is seeing its worst drought on record. this has led to a series of strict measures being taken to ensure that the area's water supply is not exhausted. it has also added to concerns about the impact of climate change in southern europe. guy hedgecoe reports from catalonia. for half a century, the sau reservoir has supplied water

to the people of barcelona and the surrounding area, but in recent months it has been depleted to less than a tenth of its capacity due to lack of rain. this church totally submerged in times of abundant rainfall has become a bleak symbol of the drought. now, the sau reservoir has been emptied all together to prevent the remaining water from being contaminated by mud. its fish are being caught so they don't rot in the water. we are trying to transfer the water as soon as we can because the quality right now in winter was good, with the spring it will become really, really bad and try to extract all the — all the fishes that we can find there. this area has not seen sustained rain for 2.5 years. that's the longest drought here since records began in 1905.

local authorities have restricted the use of water for agriculture by a0%. this farmer who produces artichokes and tomatoes among other crops warns that the lack of water is likely to be push up the prices of these products in supermarkets across europe. translation: i am worried because farming is my job i and if i don't have water, i end up planting fewer crops. if we can't plant as many crops, then this will mean there is less product for consumers. barcelona, like many towns and cities across catalonia, is seeing tight controls on water use for everything from car washing and gardening, to street cleaning. even ornamental fountains like this one have been switched off in recent weeks. other parts of europe have also been suffering a winter drought. experts warn that countries in the south are at particular risk

as climate change takes effect. we have the mediterranean area and we are expecting there's going to be a hot spot in the climate change crisis. as well as stretching water supplies, the dry conditions have other unwanted effects. siren sounds. a wave of wildfires in northern and eastern spain has burned thousands of hectares of land. the summer is still a long way off, but spain and some of its european neighbours are already feeling the heat. guy hedgecoe, bbc news, north eastern spain. you're with bbc news. they're the ultimate �*80s and �*90s band with at least half of the members in their eighties or nineties and still going strong to raise money for their beloved

hosts brazil on thursday — has already been taken up by several other women's football and rugby teams across the uk. alice key reports. this was the iconic image of the women's euros, a triumphant chloe kelly swirling her england shirt high above her head after scoring the winning goal. but although the result won't be forgotten in a hurry, the lionesses are keen to make their white kit a thing of the past. stars like beth mead and george stan mead have led the call for their white shorts to be ditched because they say they're not practical for players on their period. it is something that many women in sport have experience of. in my teens and early 20s i had my own challenges with my menstrual cycle on my flow in things like that. i had an instance where i even, it stop me from playing. i couldn't play because i was in a lot of pain and i didn't want to have that kind of feeling of i couldn't focus on the game and what i was there to do in terms of performance.

and that is actually an everyday reality for a lot of women and girls, who want to play in recreational sport from the grassroots level all the way up to the elite level. $5 grassroots level all the way up to the elite level.— grassroots level all the way up to the elite level. as the team's new home and away — the elite level. as the team's new home and away kits _ the elite level. as the team's new home and away kits were - the elite level. as the team's new| home and away kits were unveiled this week, it was seen as another significant victory for a squad who have also successfully campaigned for the uk government to offer girls equal access to all sports in school. it is a change that is being echoed across other sports as well, after a similar campaign, female tennis players will now be allowed to wear dark shorts under their wimbledon whites for the first time. the lionesses new kit will have its first outing on thursday, when they host brazil at wembley. and as the team begin their world cup campaign, they will be hoping to be as powerful on the pitch as they continue to be off it. alice key, bbc news. a welcome change to that short colour there.

now here's the weather with carol kirkwood. it was a cold and a frosty start to the day to day and for some of us it was also a cloudy and damp one. if you have an allergy to tree pollen it is worth mentioning that today across wales on the southern part of england pollen levels are high. this first weather front has been producing patchy rain. the second weather front will bring in heavier and more persistent rain across northern inc ireland and in between them we will look at some brightness developing, a little bit of sunshine but it won't last terribly long. the eastern scotland, the rest of england and wales we will see a fair bit of sunshine today with highs up to 14 degrees. through this evening and overnight the weather front sinks a little bit further south and east woods, the cloud building ahead of it but it should stay dry with some clear skies across the far south east end here, locally, temperatures could fall awake to —2.

so we're looking at a touch of frost first thing in the morning, not so anywhere else. talking of tomorrow, our weather fronts continue their journey pushing southwards and eastwards, taking the rain with them. it should brighten up later in them. it should brighten up later in the day for northern ireland and also western scotland. and for the south—east, having started dry with some sunshine you will find that as the fronts approach, the cloud will build on the sunshine will turn that bit hazy. tomorrow's temperatures, we are looking again at roughly between 11 and 13 degrees. as we move from wednesday into thursday this weather front will still be with us. it will slowly move into the north sea, taking its rain but it will linger across the northern isles and it will be quite windy during the course of thursday in shetland. behind it high pressure re—establishes itself and once again we will see some showers but a lot of dry weather in the west. but some of dry weather in the west. but some of the showers in the south—east could be heavy and they could also

be thundery. as we move through thursday into good friday and easter weekend high pressure becomes ensconced across the country. we do have weather fronts trying to bump in against it on saturday. they might bring in some patchy rain during the course of saturday to the far north—west but most of us will stay dry. on saturday, on easter sunday. but it looks like more of us will see some on easter monday.
