the prime minister rishi sunak is out volunteering today visiting a youth group in hertfordshire along with his wife, helping to prepare a meal that was eventually served. earlier i spoke to the commissioner of stjohn ambulance which is supporting their big help out. she told me about the positive impact. it doesn't have to be onerous at all. you can give us much time as you are able to and it can be flexible to suit you but it is that first step, just go and talk to folk or if you go onto the big help out website on any of the organisations�*s website, you can find out what they do. take that first step, it is not hard and you don't have to commit there and then. get a taster. how did the pandemic effect that volunteers who work for

said this was the result of a defence that had been activated. the military said russia had fired 35 drones during this attack. there was a drones that russia has been using to attack ukrainian towns and cities and that all of them were intercepted by air defence. so it shows how important air defence has been here in predicting ukrainian cities and towns from these air strikes. odesa was also hit, our warehouse was hit there in the south of the country. russia has stepped up 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 counter offensive to take back territory that is now under russian occupation. turning back to news from within the uk.
