price for the defence of bakhmut. and — tributes continue to pour in following the death of the queen of rock and roll tina turner at 83—years—old. hello. we start here in the uk, where new figures show net migration — the difference between the number of people coming to live in the uk and the number leaving — hit a record high in 2022. it rose to 606,000 last year, driven by people from non—eu countries arriving for work and study after the pandemic. that's up from 488,000 in 2021. the figure includes people coming to the uk under resettlement schemes from both ukraine and hong kong, with many more visas being issued following a political crackdown in the former british colony.

britain has long been a popular destination for migrants from nigeria. earlier i spoke to the bbc�*s mayenijones — who is in lagos — and also our correspondent in hong kong — martin yip. first, a little bit on the figures. among those 606,000 people who moved to the uk in the past year. hong kongers took up 52,000 places, so 52,000 people moved and they saw because of the national security law imposed by beijing, not something from the hong kong legislature, being imposed on the 30th ofjune 2020. seen as a very draconian law on political crimes such as sedition, subversion and terrorism activities. and so people were fearing about... 0r still fearing about the lose of their own freedom.

and that's why they started moving to other countries when britain launched this hong kong visa scheme, as well as when other countries, including commonwealth countries like canada and australia, were doing the same. and of course for china they rebutted all that. they insist this piece of law is the thing that brought hong kong back to prosperity after the 2019 anti—government protests. and what britain has been doing by setting up this visa scheme is an interference in hong kong's internal affairs. yes, yes, we've been seeing people moving out of hong kong over the past couple of years, almost three years now. and it seems there's no stop to this trend, despite there are pro—beijing media reports saying things like people who move from hong kong to the uk just can't cope with the lives there and move back. but it's just something that is hard to prove.

it's a very unique situation with regards to hong kong and like you say that beijing—imposed national security law. we mentioned in the introduction that nigeria is in the top ten for countries, for people coming to the uk. what is the draw for people, say, in lagos, for example, for wanting to come to britain? i think for a lot of nigerians, there are long standing cultural ties between nigeria and the uk. english is the lingua franca here. this used to be a british colony and there's a large number of nigerians who have relatives in the uk _ it's only a six hour flight from where i am in lagos to london. and so for a lot of nigerians it's very attractive to uk has some of the best universities in the world. this is a country where education is very highly—prized and amongst those new migration figures, the highest number is young nigerians who have gone to the uk to study at a higher level

at university level, master's level and above. so for many of these young people, they see the options in nigeria as being very limited. the pandemic, coupled with the conflict in ukraine, has had a terrible effect on the economy here. it is still africa's largest economy, but inflation is at 20%. some analysts say food inflation could be double. unemployment, particularly among young people, is at 40%. so many young nigerians are now looking to places like the uk to get the skills that they need to be better and better employees to be able to get better opportunities in life and moving forward. and just briefly, what do you think young nigerians will make of the narrative in the uk, hearing politicians saying we want to bring migration down, we want fewer people coming and staying in the country, what impact do you think that will have? you know, i think a lot of young nigerians realise now that they have skills, particularly if you are educated and you're middle class, they have skills that are highly

prized around the world. so a lot of what i'm hearing is, if the uk decides that it wants to put some sort of limit on students, nigerian students coming in the country, they might have to look to other countries. canada has been trying to encourage people around the world to attend its universities. australia is another option for people there further afield and not necessarily their first choice right now. but i think if it becomes more difficult to come to the uk to study, they might start considering other options. a developing story to bring you. in the last half an hour, the chief constable of police scotland — which covers the entire country — has admitted the force is institutionally racist, sexist and misogynistic. sir iain livingstone said prejudice and bad behaviour within the force was "rightly of great concern". this is what he's been saying in the last half an hour. the meaning of institutional racism

set out by sir william macpherson in 1999 in his report on the appalling murder of stephen lawrence in 1993 bears the mandate. the terminology, however, can and is often misinterpreted or misrepresented as unfair and personal critical assessments of the police officers and police staff as individuals. that is not the case. does institutional determination mean our police staff are racist and sexist? no, it absolutely does not. i have great confidence in the character, values of our people. i am proud of the police scotland, i am proud of my colleagues, proud of my officers and staff. so i know and i have shared their reservations and concerns about acknowledging the institutional dissemination exists institutional dissemination exists in policing. however, it is right for me, the right thing to do for me

as chief constable can medically state the institutional racism, sexism, misogyny and discrimination exist. lee scotland is institutionally racist and discriminative ore. that was sir iain livingstone, the chief constable of the police scotland, admitting the force is institutionally racist, misogynistic. we will have more later on. it was billed as the moment when ron de santis would launch himself as a major rival to donald trump for the republican presidential nomination. and he did — at least eventually. the event — held on twitter with elon musk , didn't go entirely to plan. it was hit by a series of technical problems, before the florida governor could get his message across. nomia iqbal reports from florida. decline is a choice. success is attainable. a big american flag, dramatic music and a warning only he can fix the problems. just what you would expect from

a candidate aiming for the top job. ..and integrity to our institutions. i'm ron desantis and i'm running for president to lead our great american comeback. we have so many people here that i think we are melting the servers. but over on social media, spacex owner elon musk was unable to launch governor ron desantis on his twitter spaces. he had better luck with his announcement on tv. i'm running to lead a great american comeback. technical glitches aside, ron desantis is the man who republicans see as donald trump without the drama. a conservative hero who delivers policies. florida is where woke goes to die. as governor here, he has expanded gun ownership laws, restricted sex and gender identity education in public schools, limited abortion access

and waged a war with disney. ron desantis is hugely popular here but also very controversial. many people don't like him because of his hardline conservative policies. the question is, can he appeal to enough americans outside of florida to win a national election? he has already been travelling across the country to drum up support. however, the polls suggest he can't beat donald trump, who has nicknamed him de sinking ship. some supporters in miami say don't rule him out. ron desantis comes with a big warchest of money and a lot of hype. american history is littered with those who tried to be president. ron desantis mayjoin them or go the distance. nomia iqbal, bbc news, miami. some more breaking news. a rwandan genocide suspect

the report was compiled by government—funded organisation, the healthcare safety investigation branch. nhs england says it has an ongoing programme to improve mental health services for children and young people. plans to abolish fixed—term tenancies in england would destroy the student housing market, landlords have warned. students are typically offered a 12—month fixed—term contract to reflect the academic year — and ensure properties are not left empty outside term—time. under the legislation fixed—term tenancies would be replaced by rolling contracts. the national residential landlords association said the plans could cause "chaos". researchers have found that plant—based foods are good for the health of the heart. they found vegetarian and vegan diets cut high levels of cholesterol that can eventually cause heart attacks or strokes. but experts said meat and dairy had their own health benefits you're live with bbc news.

thank you forjoining us. russia's wagner mercenary group says its forces have begun withdrawing from the ukrainian city of bakhmut. the head of the group — yevgeny prigozhin — says its positions are being transferred to the russian army. there's been no independent verification of the claim by mr prigozhin. the us estimates that more than 20 thousand russians have been killed in eastern ukraine since the start of the year. many of them fighting for bakhmut, where street to street fighting continues. 0ur defence correspondent, jonathan beale, met one ukrainian family who've paid a heavy price for the defence of bakhmut. in ukraine, the funerals are as constant as the pounding of artillery. each soldier's death a sacrifice for the nation, a family's loss. but few like this — an entire town in grief.

for maxim, a young man who gave his life for his brother. when war broke out last year, theyjoined the army together. maxim was 22. ivan, just 18. translation: he | was my best friend. all the times we fought, we were in the same trench, in the same positions, in the same unit, in the same team. he was always with me and i was with him. for me, this is a very dear person, not only by blood but also by spirit and everything else. this is where they were last alive together, bakhmut, the place their mother now calls hell.

this is them engaged in brutal house—to—house fighting before a russian shell landed right next to ivan. translation: when i got hit, i was paralysed. - at that time, i felt like i couldn't do anything. i fell and felt something warm. then i realised that i was bleeding heavily. because i'd already experienced war, i knew that i wouldn't survive, but my brother didn't let me die. he saved me. the graphic video of ivan's injuries, still holding ukraine's flag, soon went viral. too dangerous for medics to enter the city, maxim had pierced his brother's airway

to stop him choking. he stayed by his side for the next nine hours. when ivan was finally rescued, maxim chose to stay in bakhmut to fight alongside his comrades. he was killed a week later by a russian sniper. his act of self—sacrifice, scant comfort for his mum. translation: maxim had| the opportunity to evacuate with ivan, but due to the fact - his comrades remained there, he said he would not leave them. he knew that he would i never return from there. we still can't believe it. my soul has been ripped out. i have to live only i for the fact he saved his younger brother, ivan _ i no longer have a soul and no more heart. - maxim and ivan were their only children.

ukraine won't say how many more have been killed or injured in this war, but the cost to this family and to this one small town with yet more freshly dug graves shows it's extremely hard to bear. jonathan beale, bbc news, tomakivka. you are watching bbc news. the world of music has been paying tribute to the pop legend tina turner, who's died at the age of 83. she rose to fame with her then husband ike turner in the 1960s, with songs such as "river deep — "mountain high" and "nutbush city limits" — before launching a solo career, with hits including "private dancer", "what's love got to do with it". tina turner sold more than 180 million albums worldwide — and won eight grammy awards over her long career. she'll be remembered for the boundless energy she brought to her performances — and that unmistakable voice — as our entertainment correspondent,

colin paterson spoke about tina turner's comeback after leaving her abusive husband, ike turner. an example of how controlling ike turner was, he copyrighted the name tina turner, so that if she left him, he could replace her with another tina turner. in fact, when she eventually divorced him in 1978, in court she said he could have everything, all the royalties from the back catalogue. the one thing that she wanted was her name, and she was given it. and from that start, when she ran away from ike turner in dallas in the middle of the night in bare feet with 36 cents in her pocket and nothing but the rights to her name, she pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in music history. by the end of the �*70s, she was about to turn 40, she was working as a cleaner and singing twice a night in hotels to make money. the record industry was not interested at all, until a production team from england who were

in the human league, they were going to be in heaven 17. they were doing an album of cover versions called british electric foundation and they persuaded tina to sing the temptations' ball of confusion. that gave capitol records the idea to give her a one single—year deal. and she made the most of it doing an impassioned cover version of let's stay together, the al green song. that allowed capital to say, "right, you have two weeks "to capitalize on this and make an album." and she did it where i am in london in two weeks, scrambling to find songs, calling in favours, getting dire straits to give her private dancer, getting david bowie to let her cover 1984, and even doing a cover version of a buck's fizz song, what's love got to do with it? she was given the chance and she made the most of it taking songs that other people weren't making work, pouring her life story into it,

her passion and all that she'd lived through, and turning it into an album private dancer that would sell five million copies in the us alone. and by the end of the decade, she played the biggest gig in history by a female artist. 180,000 people in rio, brazil. ijust want i just want to remind you ijust want to remind you of our breaking news this hour, the chief constable of police scotland, which covers the entire country, has admitted the force is institutionally racist, sexist and misogynistic. sir iain livingstone said prejudice and bad behaviour within the force was "rightly of great concern". we'll be speaking to our correspondent in glasgowjames shaw about the speech — and the reaction to it — at the top of the next hour. one of the world's most wanted genocide suspects, a rwandan former police chief, has been arrested in south africa. he is alleged to have orchestrated the killing of approximately 2,000 tutsi refugees at a
