washington's changing position on the war in ukraine has been highlighted at the united nations where the us voted alongside russia, north korea, the wording were vetoed. air raid alerts have again sounded across ukraine this morning. in northern ukraine, new troops are still being to be holding on. to be holding on. it's done so through the effort of men like this, who says ukraine is making more of its own weapons and will continue to do so. will continue to do so. donald trump, has started translation: it's good | to get help from abroad. help won't last forever. it's here today, it it's here today, it might be gone tomorrow. might be gone tomorrow. and that point has been brought and that point has been brought home by the dramatic home by the dramatic change in us policy. once ukraine's greatest ally, once ukraine's greatest ally,

donald trump, has started repeating moscow lies about kyiv starting the war. and so yesterday's visit of french president emmanuel macron to the white house had extra significance. again, the relationships been very special with france and very special with this gentleman on my right. they've always got on well, but there were points of disagreement. europe is loaning the money to ukraine.

in events to commemorate three years of war and talks aimed been in vain. joe inwood, bbc news. tightrope being walked by emmanual macron in his well, tightrope is the word, because clearly, with the backdrop of the events of the past few weeks and the united states discussing ukraine with russia, this was a tense situation, but it didn't appear tense. and i think that's what's so interesting about the events of being friends, as

donald trump has said. but there were tensions, and we've just heard that donald trump said. in the next few weeks, mr macron being much more conservative and especially conservative and especially perhaps it was even more interesting when he gave an interview to fox news. again, he was complimentary perhaps it was even more about donald trump, saying it was a game changer when he won back the presidency and he returned and he returned to the white house. and he said it was in large part because he was the president again to the white house. that he could say, the french president could say that it was feasible that in the next few weeks there could be a truce, but not an end to the war, but not an end to the war, just a truce, a cessation just a truce, a cessation of hostilities that could pave the way for peace negotiations, serious peace negotiations. serious peace negotiations.

administration's change of stance on the war was very well, yes, it really was extraordinary. and this really backtracks on everything that's happened in the security council over the past three years, at least as it applies to the stance of the united states. but here we had a us drafted resolution that adopted a neutral stance towards the conflict. in other words, there was no criticism of russia. there was no discussion on how the war started and who was to blame for the war starting. this was a very neutral stance, which essentially the united states was agreeing with russia. russia supported this resolution. and traditional allies of the united states, france and britain, they opposed it, but it had support and it was adopted.

270. it's a good blanket, it's a big duvet. it's a high tog duvet! here in greater manchester, this homeowner has qualified of a heart condition. heat rises. so you're looking at probably to 25 to 35% of your heat loss going through your roof space. putting like a hat on your house, so to speak. there, you know, that can save roughly, you know, but that's not the only way to save, because there are now if you shop around. there are savings to be made out there.

for each unit of gas and electricity that we use, wholesale gas and electricity prices have been falling seen more instability in ukraine, we've seen a colder global instability. and that means that we are all paying more for our energy bills as a result. disappointing, yeah, disappointing. i think people at the top don't often get to feel it on kind of all day. but obviously when we have like minus temperatures, has to be done really. working hard to keep up.

now, mobile phone theft is a big problem. now it'll be easier for police forces in england and wales ellie price has this report. it all happens so quickly. phones snatched in an instant. police! earlier this month, the met police launched a clampdown on what it described as industrial scale mobile phone snatching across the capital. handsets seized.

the un secretary—general has condemned israel's military the weekend injenin, tulkarm, and nur shams.the

so the reason there is condemnation for that of the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas, mr nabil abu rudeineh, who said this will lead to escalation, because israel deployed — decision to deploy tanks where have they all gone? and the problem... sorry? the 40,000 go to other places in the west bank, so it is inhuman situation — especially there is some for tens of thousands of people in west bank, bank, so where else? and also 51 were killed since the operation in those

camps in 21st ofjanuary — so more than a month ago — especially injenin and tulkarm. it's unfortunate circumstances, because there was hopes stage will finish next saturday, but unfortunately there is three scenarios for the future. first one is resumption of the war, and there is some started on the 16th day of the 42—day ceasefire first phase on 3rd of february, but didn't start yet, so it's a problem. and the third scenario is to extend the first phase undergoing, and agreeing on the details — especially

the withdrawal of israeli forces from the whole west — from the whole of gaza, and there is concern so the most proper — or the most likely — scenario will happen, i think, extension of the first phase. but hamas will not accept to hand over more hostages prisoners and agree on the full withdrawal. otherwise, hamas will not accept any release presidentjohn f kennedy during his assassination, has died at the age of 93. mr hill famously leapt onto the back of the president's limousine after mr kennedy was shot in dallas, texas

from a bomb on a motorbike. the uk's broadcast watchdog, ofcom, has announced to give evidence to mps about misinformation tim muffett reports. whether today's select committee hearing will make they rarely deliver very much. the sort of content that molly saw seven and a half years ago, that a coroner concluded led to her death in a more than minimal way, that sort of content is still available. molly was the most adorable of children. i'm her dad, i would say that.

but lots of people who knew her tell me that as well. she had ended her life. ..and full of questions about how this could have happened. social media accounts. to end her life. the corporate culture at these platforms needs to change. last year, hejoined

with the pace of tech that move — well, in their own words, they move fast and break things. this is what victory feels like. and we've seen elon musk playing a key role within that. mark zuckerberg has said that meta will no longer be we've reached a point where it's just too many mistakes and too much censorship. tipping point towards once again prioritising speech. a fundamental shift, where we've seen, particularly for money and need for power.

hello there. well, following that very wet start to monday morning, with a band of heavy rain clearing eastwards, it was a day of sunshine and showers. lots of rainbows spotted by our weather watchers — of days, because sunshine and showers remains very much the theme. towards the north and the west. of rain here, stretching further inland at times. here, it's a milder start to the morning — and still, a legacy of cloud and some rain across the far southeast of england — that will clear away. some of them wintry over

the tops of the hills. temperatures just a little lower than they were on monday. let's take a look at tuesday night, because the skies will the showers fading away, and temperatures will drop temperatures will start to pick up towards the west as this band of rain, cloud, stronger winds starts to push in. further eastwards as we head through the morning — some of the driest conditions and the best of the sunshine of scotland, as we head through wednesday. and we can expect to see another frost perhaps as we head through wednesday night and into thursday. pressure starting to build in from the west —

lasting through the weekend, as well. but how sunny will it be by day? how cold is it going to stay by night? bye for now.
