on trafalgar square at near the procession route, as well as having smaller groups along the procession route and we were very clear about that over the last four months and they repeatedly set right up until friday that they had no concerns about our protest plans, they were well aware of what we were going to do and they would engage with us and not obstruct us. they repeatedly lied about their intentions and i believe they had every intention of arresting us prior to doing so. the prime minister of the caribbean nation of st kitts and nevis has told the bbc his country is "not totally free" as long as king charles iii remains head of state. dr terrance drew said he would welcome an apology from the monarchy for its historic role in the slave trade. there are ia commonwealth realms or countries where the king remains head of state. 0ur correspondent celestina 0lulode reports. the shifting tides of constitutional change. this tiny island is reconsidering its relationship with the crown. the prime minister of st kitts and nevis says he wants to give

people a say on who the head of state should be. the head of state still resides with the monarchy in england. and so that aspect of it is telling us that we are not totally free yet. that consultation, discussion, will start sometime during my leadership. the prime minister is also calling for an apology for the historic role of the monarchy in the slave trade. i think that acknowledging that some wrong was done, acknowledging it, and apologising for it, is a step in the right direction. buckingham palace says slavery is an issue the king takes profoundly seriously. last month, the palace said it was supporting independent research into the royal family�*s historic links to the slave trade and on the matter of countries becoming republics, king charles iii has said it is a matter

for each nation to decide. britain�*s influence remains strong here even after almost a0 years of independence but as this nation reaches that milestone, there is ongoing debate around its identity. we still have the same colonialist thinking and that is one thing we have to move away from. that is why i think a republic would benefit our people more. being so small to making a big step would be impressionable onto the world, i would say. a recent poll suggests the country is still split on whether becoming a republic is a good idea. if there is one place that illustrates its colonial past it is brimstone hill fortress, the site of several royal visits, including the then prince charles in 2019. the entire structure was built by enslaved africans. they harvested the stone,

they cut the stone into shape. the historian leonard stapleton showed the king around the islands. we recognise that the people who fill the office of the monarchy are in person kind and genuine human beings, but the office does represent the same force that was behind the enslavement of the africans. as the country strides forward, questions linger and reaching an agreement on any next steps appears to be a long way off. air raid alerts have sounded across southern and central ukraine in response to the latest missile attacks by russia. residents of the ukranian capital kyiv were told to head to shelters shortly before midnight local time. the mayor said five people had been injured. this is the aftermath of a drone

attack overnight in kyiv — you can see the extent of the damage. the southern city of 0desa has also been targeted. russia has stepped up its aerial attacks ahead of an expected offensive by ukraine. a ukrainian general in bakhmut said russia had intensified its shelling of the devastated city too. russia�*s wagner group boss says moscow has agreed to his demands for more ammunition days after he threatened to withdraw his men from bakhmut. russian troops and fighters from wagner, a private military company, have been trying to capture bakhmut for months despite the city�*s questionable strategic value. 0ur correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv with the latest developments. it was the fourth time in eight days that keefe came under attack and authority site this building was hit by debris that fell from a drone that was intercepted by the air defence system. the error rate alert sounded here shortly before

midnight. we got the all clear only three and a half later is. we heard loud explosions here and the authority said this was the result of air defence that had been activated. they immediately said russia had fired 35 drones during this attack, those iranian made drones, which attacked ukrainian towns and cities, and all of them were intercepted by air defence. again, it shows how important defence has been here in protecting ukrainian cities and towns from these air strikes. 0desa was also hit, a warehouse was hit there in the south of the country. russia has stepped up these air strikes in recent weeks as the ukrainian authorities say they are finishing their plans for a much anticipated counteroffensive to take back territory that is now under russian occupation. around the world and across the uk,

the aim is to elevate our mobile journalism from the field, and help the bbc on itsjourney to reach net zero. let�*s get more now from anna holligan. welcome to the hague, i am coming to you live from the bike bureau. this has been a passion project for kate and ifor years. has been a passion project for kate and iforyears. it is has been a passion project for kate and ifor years. it is kind of like the swiss army knife of mobile broadcasting and already using a bike has been a game changerfor me, taking me to the heart of breaking news, they are able to deposit my daughter at school, being live on air a few minutes�* later. but we thought it had the potential to do even more, so now we can finally reveal the result. introducing the bike bureau. it contains all the kit we need for newsgathering, interviews and to provide tv and radio lives, connecting via our phones. there you are, i can see you

perfect place to pilot this project. editorially we will be using the bike to focus on solutions and track down positive stories and tech developments that could transform our lives. and we want you to be part of this journey. if you have stories that you think the bike bureau should be covering, then send them our way. i will be sharing more in the coming days, possibly a good news cycle, it is so nice to share some positive news. this is about three key things. it is sustainability, it helps us to reduce our emissions and change the way we go about gathering news. it is empowering as well because as mobile journalists we are encouraged to operate so that we can chuck everything in the bike and go right to where we need to be to be able to talk to you. it is not something that will necessarily work for everyone or work everywhere, but we hope it will inspire people to

think differently about how they possibly live and work as well. and the other thing is, the cost of living crisis, so having an electric cargo bike in order to do my mobile journalism has meant i can get rid of my car, i don�*t have to pay for petrol and parking costs and that kind of thing. as you heard, this is still a pilot project, it isjust phase one, we are still fine tuning little bits and pieces, but it is great to be able to share this with you and we are hoping to crowd source ideas and take you along on ourjourney source ideas and take you along on our journey with us. source ideas and take you along on ourjourney with us. nasa has launched two satellites. the new storm trackers are able to fly over hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones every hour, allowing researchers to see how they evolve. the satellites transmit data every six hours. more

showers, big, heavy showers, pushing out of northern ireland into northern england by the end of the night and running across scotland. very mild night, temperatures in double figures. plenty of cloud around and we are sitting currently in warm air. rain in england first thing on tuesday and it will away to allow sunshine in the morning in the east. but look closely and you can see though showers are dotted about in the middle part of the day and when the sunshine injects more warmth into the atmosphere and we get more energy and those showers will turn pretty punchy. temperatures 17 or 18 in the best of the sunshine. what is driving them all? this area of low pressure and it will produce bands of showers in the coming days, so some areas could see the showers become more relentless at times and other areas will have longer periods of dry and sunny weather. on wednesday a definite focus early on and on showers in the west of the uk, but

when the sunshine comes out things start to liven up and we will see heavy showers just about anywhere by the time we get into wednesday afternoon. a shade cooler in the middle part of the week. thursday is very much the same with low pressure sitting across the uk. we will start the day on a quiet, bright and sunny note, but in the afternoon we will see heavy showers around on thursday. further on into friday, a little ridge of high pressure could extend itself across the uk to give us a quieter end to the week. if anything, going into next week it should be quieter if cooler.
