say it, is monday, the 28th of march. >> well, hello. >> oh, wow. >> wow. >> just>> a few minutes after tt happened, will smith won best actor for his performance in king richard. >> with tears streaming down his face, will smith first used his acceptance speech to apologize to the academy about what happened. >> president biden insists he wasn't calling for regime change in russia. >> the atmosphere remains tense as ukrainian and russian officials meet in turkey for the latest round of peace talks. >> no child should go hungry in britain in the 21st century. the lan for schools. also the breakfast show for you this morning, wherever

you're watching us around the world, we'll speak to one of the groups that has come together to help people and animals alike in ukraine. and also, william and kate's caribbean tour, we'll talk about how some things appear to be goingso so badly wrong in the re with the royal roles. good morning, everybody, an extraordinary night at the oscars, in the space of just a few moment, will smith came on stage, appeared to punch the host, chris rock in the mouth, for making a joke about his wife, and then a few moments later won the award for best actor. katie has been talking to the actor, lucky girl, looking sensational in that dress, we didn't expect him to turn up at the party, but he did and it

started out he brought his family out. >> how do you handle representational damage like that? perhaps that's the way to do it. and he turned up here very recently. the story over here, marley matlin, the star of "coda" starring for their picture, and the underdog won so much, and bringing home the importance of authentic representation on the screen. it has done so much to promote the deaf communities and the deaf culture. and yet, with this one moment, from will smith, this one moment of madness, has ended up overshadowing the whole evening. take a look at what happened tonight. >> oh, wow. >> it wasn't supposed to be like this. will smith going off script. >> keep my wife's nanny out of

your mouth. >> apparently he had enough jokes about his wife jada's expense. >> that was the greatest night in the history of television. >> will smith. >> i know, to do what we do, you got to be able to take abuse, you got to be able to have people talk crazy about you, and in this business, you got to be able to have people disrespecting you, and you got to smile and you got to pretend like that's okay and at your highest moment, be careful, that's when the devil comes for you. >> the speech becoming a disturbing demonstration of the pressures of fame, and the intensity of hollywood. >> okay, "coda "s. >> will smith aside, a landmark

win with "coda" winning best picture. >> and self indulgence, a lot of compassion for others in the speeches. >> this is dedicated to the deaf community. >> also his first-ever oscar, dedicated to others. >> we will never forget all of those lost in heart breaking, heart-warming, human stories of that amazing city of belfast. >> and jessica chas tain echoing that theme. >> suicide is a leading cause of death in the united states, it's touched many fames, it's touched mines and members of the lgbt community. >> it will inevitably feature appropriately from the ukraine. >> when you witness the strength and dignity of those facing such devastation, it's impossible to not be moved by their resilience. >> and what will be remembered

where will smith slapped chris rock, rather than a celebratory thanks, a winner forced to say sorry. >> i want to apologize to the academy and to my fellow nom niece. hope the academy invites me back. thank you. >> we want to hear what they say. the academy does not condone violence of any form and went on to say we are delighted to celebrate our 94th academy awards winner and deserve this moment of recognition from their peers and movie lovers around the world. and yes, they weren't very happy that that happened, katie, and we know that the lapd have been contacted, haven't they? >> yes, they have, i mean what a way for the evening to unfold. lapd has said certainly they are aware of this incident between two men as they put it and if a

complaint is made, it is something that they will look into. a story we should be talking about tonight, kate, is "coda" we're joined by best supporting actor, troy, have you got anything to say, you have been winning everything this year, such an important role. >> i plan on renting a u haul to drive back to arizona, i need to throw all of this stuff in there and drive to arizona. i really can't take it in the plane, if you know what i mean. >> people might be talking about a slap this evening, but for you, it is important that we do take notice, and what just happened, this is an important moment in terms of deaf representation. >> absolutely. whatever happened tonight, whatever situation happened, really it was personal, right? and it really showed that family should be cherished, no matter what the situation is, and really, i think what happened really shows that everyone can think about how to really value and cherish their family, and

really in any situation and so a lot of luck. >> i'm so thrilled for you. it's such a brilliant film. thank you for talking to us, troy. have a brilliant evening, thank you. if you haven't seen "coda" a very good film, a very heart warming film as well, in many ways it is quite pleasing to win best picture because it could have gone a very different way, perhaps in the sort of more dramatic film, which everyone was sort of protecting to win and the best picture instead went to the heart warming film that is "coda" let's hope that doesn't get overshadowed by what happened with will smith, and sadly, we know will smith is inside of the party there, came out tonight, painting a smile on, pretending, trying to move on, i guess, after what happened during the ceremony, but i guess we'll see in the next few days really, exactly what reputation he damaged, what damage has been done for him. >> how did the brits do?

how did the brits do, katie? >> oh, incredibly well, actually, tonight. within film and theater, for many decade, the first oscar, wasn't sure initially whether he would even be making it here, because he caught covid, and we talked to the group, starring in "belfast," and it was down to the wire and both testing in the next few days and wondered when they would be tested next and be allowed on the red carpet and thankfully, it was very personal, and that is a story as well. a good night for the brits. there are some good stories. >> all right, katie, chat to you again later. thanks a lot, very much indeed. so the sign language like

this, i think it means i love you. and the education, tl on it, it doesn't mean anything other than t levels, a campaign that he is trying to tell us more about, and certainly talked about it here on the program. and he also talked to us about the school's white paper that we will hear more about today, which includes plans for all schools to offer a 32 1/2 hour week by the end of 2023. earlier, i spoke about the proposals as well as a report that a child in south london collapsed with hunger at a food bank. heart breaking. and also quizzed him on the latest developments on ukraine and mr. zawahi told me that dictators like vladimir putin will always have their day of reckoning. >> at the moment, only

two-thirds of children complete primary school with an acceptable level to read, and right and do math. >> and i want it to get it to 90%. >> and spending money -- >> so we ask, my office, a couple of weeks ago, we said that on schools you are right up there in terms of investment in education. >> as to what? >> compared to other countries. and that's a good thing. and now, how that money is spent, sometimes that's -- >> and consistently looking at world education with the u.k., six times the amount of catch-up from people in the u.k. >> 5 billion. as well as 7 billion. there are 5 billion in catch-up money. the vaccines that we've had, with the vaccines in the warehouse and how many in arms, i want 5 billion to be spent on the national program as part of that, getting those children, at least time left in their

education, the money goes there, and primary and secondary, let me get that money into the system, make sure those students are getting that additional help which they are. we got a million blocks that have been delivered, and another million by the end of this school year, and six million in total by the end of this group. >> and when it comes to food, let's talk about kids in school, a lot of them need to have a hot meal at school, because that's the only time they get it. half a million children are in absolute poverty. >> so i saw the foundation information that you're referring to, and what the chancellor's done is earmarked money for that and we're in a battle against inflation, and the costs are increasing, 22 billion for one year of help. 9 billion of it is go can into helping people with energy --

going into helping people with energy cost, it is already now february number, and we are looking at what we're doing. and part of this friday, the national minimum wage will increase and people will get a thousand pounds more. >> and i'm sure you are appalled as i was, a boy had to be taken to the hospital after collapsing in the cue in a food bank. that's 21st century britain. come on. >> that's heart breaking. and the money, the 20 billion, i'm trying to describe where it's going, 9 billion toward energy and 1 billion, doubled the amount, going to the local government, and we will know where the families know that needs help. the one that you described at the food bank, the ones who are struggling with utility bills. which doubles the amount going to the government, so you can help those people directly. you need to be able to go to those households and say look,

there is help available for you. 22 billion in one year, is, you know, a big number, but we're not resting on our laurel, we're not saying job done, we'll say we will keep an eye on, this because energy prices are volatile at the moment, there is a global battle against inflation, and i mean in america and europe, and everywhere. >> and no school child should go hungry. >> i was the minister, when i was involved with the food program, with frank field, we started with 10 million pounds, it's now running at 220 million a year, and we got the funding for the next three years to continue to help with the food program and we're coming into the period now where we're very proud of the work we've done on that. we continue to support, we just announced preschool meals with no recourse to public funds which is important to make sure that child doesn't go hungry either. >> i just wanted to know what you thought about president biden doing, did he misspeak

over the weekend when he was talking about regime change in russia? >> the white house and the president have been clear on this, we are in lock-step with them, that it is up to the russian people to decide who governs them in the future. >> and he may remain in power. >> do you not like the words -- >> the russian people are fed up because they're watching their friends and some of them have family in ukraine, who have been attacked by the putin regime, clearly war crimes have been committed because they're targeting innocent civilians, civilian areas, and the deputy prime minister is working with the international criminal court, to make sure that evidence is in place, but i think president biden is right, to say that putin has no place in ukraine. they have to make sure that they withdraw from ukraine, because it is an illegal invasion of ukraine. i think he's absolutely right in that. ultimately, it's the russian people who decide who governs

them. >> do you agree with -- >> where crimes have been commit -- war crimes have been committed no doubt in my mind. it is right to collect that evidence. because it is also important, you know, my family had experience with saddam hussein, it's important that despots and dictators understand that there will be a reckoning. >> time for tomorrow's take on our interviews this morning. good morning, kay. >> well, being grilled on one of the department's flag ship policies being announced today, with the plan for education, which is that here in england, primary schools should meet acceptable standards in reading, and writing and math. and currently only two-thirds of them do, and you want that up to 90% by 2030. and now, fighting criticism that this is not exactly very ambitious and this is what parents should expect anyway, and he says that the prime minister, he backs this up, which is this idea of the parent

pledge, which is if children are falling behind in english and math, they will get some tutoring to help them get back on track, and this plays into this whole round we've been having for the last two years now, about what and how much the government should be doing to help children recover from covid in terms of their education. they decided not to go ahead with the 15 billion pound plan, that was pointed to, that kevin collins recommended, we know the treasury was particularly concerned about the costs and whether it had been sorted through properly. they put nadine zawahi in the job, with the delivery, and 5 million pounds to make it go as far as he can but this is something that is on track and certainly, the evidence that was given to the mps a couple of weeks ago about the tutoring program, it is going really slowly, and not reaching all of the places that it needs to reach, and we will keep an eye on this and that target is 2030, and the national education union

kevin courtney says there were a lot of issues that it didn't address. this is what he told us? >> i'm afraid it doesn't address the things that we have learned coming through the pandemic. it doesn't deal with the significant issue of child poverty, it doesn't deal with school funding. it doesn't deal with the profound problem of a teacher retention and instead, he is setting targets, he is setting targets for children, but not for the extra funding or extra support for schools. >> also, the communications secretary, the education secretary, a 14-year-old boy who has collapsed at a food bank, while he was cueing for food, he collapsed from hunger and had to be taken to the hospital. and i wonder what labor had to say about that. >> absolutely shocking story. the person running the food bank tweeted about it and we don't have information about who the boy is and he was shocked with the targeted support going out and this is of course the growing concern of the rising

cost of living and whether the chancellor has done enough, and the reaction has been so interesting, and i think probably the most, the chancellor had probably the most challenge moment since he got that job saying look, there is money from extra tax revenues but i'm not going to spend it all on helping people with the cost of living, i need to keep some back for oil and gas spikes from the last election and the reaction from tories is quite muted and what he might have to do is more, and we talked to alice mcgovern, and she said this was absolutely his key challenge. >> you know, obviously, schools in my own constituency, having to have food banks on-site and that kind of thing, and i don't think that is okay. i think we have to do much more. and unfortunately, as we say, the analysis of the statement seems to be that it will make poverty worse in our country, not better and i can't imagine why a chancellor would have that as an objective, or even allow

that to be the case, after such an important financial statement last week. >> and the chancellor is in front of the treasury committee this afternoon. for a grilling about that statement. so i think that they will be asking all about whether more will be needed. >> and a quick thought about the bouquet from the ukrainian president. >> absolutely. zelenskyy has given some really interesting interviews overnight in which he sets out how western countries are divided on what they want to achieve in ukraine, even though supporting him, lots of praise of boris johnson, and the british, and especially on sanction, and on how much military aid they have been sending, but also some hints of where he may compromise talking about even compromising on the donbas region, so i think we're starting to seat outlines of a possible peace deal there, if it can be done, and those talks in turkey, but you can see his adviser, we had on earlier, was talking about, how the west

needs to keep up pressure on russian oil and gas and says western countries are funding the war by continuing to buy russian oil and gas and that's why he wants to stack up the pressure on some of those countries who are -- doing so, in order to get the russians to make the biggest possible compromise. >> thanks, tamara. looking forward to tomorrow. still to come today, though, we will get more reaction to the government's plans for schools, more on that to come. and half past 9:00, as the dust settles on the duke and duchess of cambridge's tour of the caribbean, we will get the view of how it was referred with the royal biographer andrew leven. and speak together ukrainian mp in kyiv, to get an assessment on what life is like on the ground in her country. s like on ground in her country. before we go to that, we will take to you the board where sally is standing by for us this

morning. and hearing a lot about, a lot of hope for these peace talks in turkey, later on today. what more do we know? >> well, certainly, it's perhaps no coincidence, kay, that president zelenskyy, has proven himself as a first class communicator during this war, and gave an interview to independent russian journalists, last night, where he said that ukraine was willing to declare a neutral status, and not seek nato membership, something that putin has demanded from ukraine, in terms of how peace talks have gone so far, and president zelenskyy also said that he would give russia other security assurances, including that ukraine would remain nuclear free. so encouraging remarks from president zelenskyy, ahead of these peace talk, which begin today in turkey, face to face talks again between ukrainian and russian officials, due to

last through until wednesday. and of course, there have been other talks held in turkey, and over the course of the last four or so weeks of war here, and there have been four key demands from president putin when it comes to some sort of agreement that may potentially be reached, and two of those were, one, to keep neutrality in ukraine, also that ukraine would not become a member of nato, and the other two demands was to protect the russian language here in ukraine, and the denazi-fication of the country, the bizarre claim that president putin has made, which seemingly will be fairly easy for ukraine to agree to, that said, it doesn't fill us with much hope that this interview with president zelenskyy has been banned from being published in russia, perhaps to be expected but also a senior ukrainian official has already said that they don't expect a major break through. >> okay, sally, thank you. and we'll have more on the

qr code right now, you can listen to the latest edition of the sky news daily podcast. the government has told p & o ferries it will have to pay at least minimum wage or face a ban from british ports. katie is in dover, still not clear, the sky behind you and certainly troubled waters ahead for p & o? >> absolutely, kay. and you can't see it particularly well, but i promise you i am in dover. and we understand the government is meeting today with two of p & o ferry's main competitors because they're worried about continued disruption in the wake of the ongoing saga, and the key line from the government really, about the meeting this morning, is this, they say they're working to see anything work out, how to ensure continuation of services with other operators, so there have been of course calls to p & o to be

stripped of the government contracts, and this is perhaps a step in that direction. we also understand as well, that the bosses from the two company, they are going to be union representatives at this meeting, who are representing those sacked workers, and calling for p & o to drop the deadline for the workers to sign up to the separatist packages and they said p & o needs to immediately withdraw the false and ash -- arbitrary deadline on the 31st. and we need legislation for jobs and contracts of employment and we hear that the maritime and coast guard agency are expected to inspect more p & o ferry, one of the ships was detained on friday in morn ireland for a number of -- northern ireland, for a number of safety concerns including issues on crew training, it keeps on rolling

through for p & o. >> thank you. business news, we have more from ian in the city. good morning. >> good morning. hello, kay. we are leading from the treasury and the gnatwest group and for the first time since the crisis, natwest was bailed outs by the, go it used to be be called royal bank of scotland and the share holding is going to drop to 48.1%, at its peak, it was 84.4%. and now the government started selling down its share holding in number atwest long ago, as long as 2015 and the fifth share sale by the government, but it has taken much longer than expected and a lot due to untern ty in the markets 0 -- uncertainty in the markets, obviously during the pandemic, and the big sell-off in the stock marks generally. so from 2019, until march of last year, the government did not sell any of its shares in natwest group, it did so in march last year and again in may last year and this is the latest

tranche. the government is still committeed to selling down the entire stake in natwest by the end of the 2025-2026 financial year so by that time it will be over 18 years since the bailout of the royal bank. and i expect it won't make a great deal of difference in the great scheme of things, with natwest, the direction of travel has been quite clear for quite a while now but nonetheless a symbolic moment with the turn-around in the bank's fortunes. and barclays has admitted that it is going to take a 450 million pound hit, as a result of a mishandled bond sale. it goes from bad to worse really for this bank, obviously, it's had a fairly tumultuous few years, capped recently by last year's resignation of the former chief executive. >> ian, thank you. a quick look at what is happening as far as the weather is concerned.

>> turning cooler and more unsettled this week. wintry showers for some. each a threat of some, even a threat of some snow. still to come on the program for you, talking about why some things appeared to go so badly wrong on william and kate's caribbean tour, coming up.

hello again, everybody, the last half hour of the breakfast show this monday morning, it has been very busy, dhees are top storys, these are our top stories. >> oh, wow. wow. >> wow.

will smith, preparing to slap chris rock, before winning the oscar, for best actor at ceremony in los angeles. president biden has said he will be calling for regime change in russia when he said vladimir putin cannot remain in power. and the education secretary told the program of a child collapsing at a food bank, heart breaking, as the government is looking at setting out the school's new white paper. more on government's plans for schools now, and standing by for us is becky, and very pleased with the education secretary where you are, becky, good morning. >> good morning, kay. yes, they are very broadly supportive of that white paper. one of the points in the paper that a lot of schools don't like is about the 32.5-hour week. they want it to be a national average. and it equates to 6.5 hours a

day. a lot of schools are saying that could cause a financial burden. a lot of disruption for minimal gain. and here, it is very slightly short of that and they say in the school learning, and the help that they provide in terms of extracurricular support, the extra few minutes added on in the day really wouldn't be necessary. and one point that they are very supportive of, is a cannonization, that all schools will be part of the cannon trust by 2030, and i'm joined now by a couple of the students here, elliot, you guys have come in just before covid and tell me about the difference that has made. >> i feel like it's brought us together, to have the skills within the school, and the senior leadership team and it feels like to have that leadership with them, and enable to progress every day. >> just tell me, in terms of the pandemic, and the current setbacks, it's had, the impact it has had on your education

coming back into school, especially for you guys in such an important year. >> it is difficult with covid, but we have been working through it, and getting a stronger handle on it during covid and working with the teachers. >> and the proposal talks about is one-on-one tuition, and you are very good students, and you perhaps don't need that tuition the same way other students do, but you do need one-on-one time with teachers and it is a good thing. >> i think it maximizes the maximum capability of students just having that personal time with the teacher, it really helps to consolidate all of the learning. >> and how are you both feeling, with the exams, because they are in may, aren't they? >> we are excited, yes. looking forward to getting them done. >> exactly. >> i just want to finish. and ready for college.

>> the focus really for secondary schools in terms of the white paper are on those students, but it is also about improving education, and county touring it for all students after the pandemic and the disruptions that that caused. >> many thanks. more on that white paper later on today. and don't forget also that the chancellor is being quizzed by mps later on today as well about his statement, his spring statement, so that should be pretty entertaining telly, and you can watch it live and uninterrupted here on sky news. meantime, somebody who is just back in the country, and reflecting on their week away, the royals of course, the jamaican prime minister, telling kate and william that his country wants to be independent, and address unresolved issues after protesters called on the u.k. to pay reparations for slavery. the royals' trip to caribbean came after barbados became a

republic by removing the queen as the sovereign head of state. >> and we have more from angela leven. thanks for joining us on the program. what did you make of the tour? >> i thought it was very mixed, actually. i felt that there is lots of sort of time to set up william and katherine, and really i think the number one on that, the prime minister of jamaica, and i've never known anyone to walk through a door, someone says hello, and without sitting down, or any niceties, or taking them out to all of the public eye, with the cameras, to say, well, we're leaving, you know, get lost, and i thought that was incredibly ill-timed but it was obviously deliberate, and the fact is that jamaica has been independent for 60 years but they've always voted to want to

have the queen as the head of state, and as they did it, it was sort of drama on stage and i thought it was very poor. however, there were some slip-ups. and i think with aides, there needs to be somebody who is looking for helps and indeed, the iron fence, it is definitely one of them. and although, it is there to prevent the children from going on to the football pitch, and the footballer just before, went to say, hello, and it does look actually as if they're in some sort of camp, and they can't get out. and i think that that was a terrible mistake to do that. it could have been avoided very, very easily. and not for the children's sake, but obviously, they were there, wanting to say hello, but something could have been done to put them somewhere else. and i thought also, that the land rover that we're looking at was a very big mistake, because

we don't really want to go to the 1950s and '60s, and we're now in a different era, and apparently prince william didn't want to do it, either. but then the government insisted that they wanted that to happen. so that again, wasn't his fault, i mean that should have all been talked up through beforehand, the aide should have said, i know that we don't think this is a good idea. but nobody seemed to listen. i don't know if they would have listened to anyone else. or the fact that we have all been locked up for such a long time, we've not had the same perspective on what's going on as we used to have and we got to be very sharp-eyed i think. >> you say it's not his fault, but he's not 20, he's 39, i think, anyway and a future king, and he would have looked at his itinerary, and we have seen that, you know, he was expected to shake hands, or touch

children through a mesh fence, and then also, basically, pose for colonial type pictures, and he should have said actually, no, i'm not going to do that. >> we don't know that he knew it was that type of fence, actually. and also, with the colonial type picture, that if somebody that you are going to visit is really desperate for you to do something, and you're coming in a very positive nice warm way, i think it's quite embarrassing, and i don't expect him to do it, i think the aides should have said that it's not possible. i don't think he can go around arguing for himself, that's not where it happen, and they pass it on. >> yes, although i'm getting more about the caribbean, he also made the point that he doesn't think that he will be

the monarch as his grandmother has been for many countries in the commonwealth going forward. >> i think the job of being head of the commonwealth isn't the same as being king or queen. and we saw that in prince charles, when he was elected to do that, all of the members of the commonwealth voted for him to be the next one, and you can do the job separately, so someone else could do that for him. it doesn't mean that he is going to be king. what he does want it do is to stop this don't explain and don't complain. which i think is a very good idea. i think nowadays, people can't hold back. there is so much social media, people demanding to know information, and they've all got very aggressive, but i think he's right, when he says something, i thought that went very well, to say what he felt and the fact that he's not trying to tell people what to do, which i thought perhaps was

referring to his brother. >> and let's talk about the majesty before i let you go and he is desperate to be able to attend the service for her late husband, i can't believe that it's a year since we lost him, and do we know when she's going to be able to? >> she said yes, because she's now got her golf car and it's big enough to take everyone in. and it will take them to the service. and i think that would give her the mobility she wants. and she didn't want to be in a wheelchair, because she wants to be dignified and she doesn't want to look as if she's really, really old, despite her age. and this is actually quite zany, and if she can, if they can get her into her position, without everybody watching, and seeing how difficult it is for her to move, i think it will work very well. actually, it looks much, much

better, and she is very important, it is very important for her to appear, and i think we've been told that she will, she hasn't said that she is going to wait until the absolute last minute and i think it would be heart breaking for her not to be able to get there. >> okay, always great to see you, angela. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> thanks a lot. the story everybody is talking about this morning, that you're waking up to, or coming back, having dropped the kids off at school, an extraordinary night at the oscars, and in the space of just a few minutes, will smith came on stage, and appeared to punch the host chris rock in the mouth, for making a joke about his wife. and then he won the award for best actor. >> well, hello. oh, wow. wow. >> the best actor for his portrayal for richard williams, the father of tennis stars venus

and serena. >> when he won the award, he offered a tearful apology for his behavior. >> i know what we do, you got to be able to take abuse, you got to be able to have people talk crazy about you, and in this business, you got to be able to have people disrespecting you. i want to apologize to the academy, i want to apologize to all my fellow nominees. >> we heard in a tweet that the academy award had said this. the academy does not condone violence of any form, and it then went ton say tonight, we are delighted to celebrate our 94th academy awards winners, who deserve this moment of recognition from their peers and movie lovers around the world. well, these are the images that

we saw at the after-party, it is a party in l.a., that most, many of the oscar winners tend to go to to show off their awards later. will smith, it was suggested that he would not be going there, he with go home, and reflect, on his behavior, but nope, he started out with his beautiful wife there, as you can see with the fantastic flowing gown, the rest of his family as well, and everybody wanted a photograph of the couple. we're told that the lapd had been informed of what happened on stage. meantime, let's look at the thousands of people who fled their homes as a philippine volcano continued to erupt. there you go. and the volcano exploded on saturday. and it erupted i think, and the philippine institute of vol canology and sisemology said in a statement that further eruptions were possible which

said it could trigger danger, fast-moving volcanic flows of ash, and flows and debris as well as a tsunami. looking at our cool picks, here we go, put together by katie for you, this morning, this first picture from the telegraph shows an aged woman who has been evacuated from the ukrainian city of urpin, she is lying on a stretcher in an ambulance on the outskirts of kyiv. she probably never thought in her lifetime she would see what happened to her country over the last month or so. and we have this picture of artwork at sothbyes, which happens to be a massive 32 feet long. the piece depict the battle of polio in india which took place between british east india company troops and the source in the back, in 1780. it is thought that it could go

hi everyone. volodymyr zelenskyy has announced that ukraine could be

parts of neutrality and the donbas region, a quarter of the population has been driven from their homes since the start of the invasion. we have more from ukrainian mp, inna, tell us more about the situation in ukraine. >> the situation remains tense over here in kyiv, almost the whole night, we were under air-raid alert so people had to stay in shelters, hiding in their bathrooms at least, that's what people are doing when they hear the air-raids. we did hear some explosions in the city. and apparently they didn't hit any major targets, but still, it's relative what we're living through. there are battles taking place northwest of the city. there don't seem to be any major advancements on either side. the ukrainian army did push a little bit further in, closer to kyiv, and it seems right now,

the front line is at least pretty much stalled, on both sides. and food and medicine, it is difficult, as you know. and today the government announced there would be no humanitarian corridors because there is information that russians will try to open fire on those corridors, so no humanitarian corridor announced for today. >> there are concerns about the potential use of chemical weapons, all the more important, with the peace talks that are starting again today, i believe, in turkey, trying to come to some sort of agreement. >> well, we are concerned of course of the use of chemical weapons, that is extremely scary and that is something that we want to avoid. we are not sure if president putin heard the message by president biden and other leaders of the west, that there will be a response by the west in case there is a chemical

weapon that is used. there is no reason that president putin will stop just because he heard some messages so of course we're extremely concerned about that. and unfortunately, we're not very hopeful in terms of the talks that will take place in turkey today. we are not seeing a large potential in that, and to begin with, it really is impossible to trust anything that the russians are saying or promising, and a week before they invaded us, putin said that they would not invade ukraine, they will not attack us, and yet they did. three weeks into the war, they stated that they are not killing ukrainian children and they were indeed killing ukrainian children. we need to trust in the person we're dealing with which is basically impossible here now with russia. so i am, we are looking at the talks, of course, there is a hope for a miracle but still, it's pretty much difficult to believe that this might be

successful. >> donbas, the region seems to be pivotal in negotiations, suggesting that it could potentially move over into russian control, in order to try to see a cease-fire. your thoughts on that? >> indeed the situation in the donbas region right now is probably the most tense, it is the only area where russians are actually advancing, and where the ukrainian army is not able to stop the advance. unlike kyiv, unlike the south of ukraine, in the donbas they are truly making some advances and we of course are concerned that they might try to achieve their goals of role controlling the whole region and before they were only controlling about 30 to 40% of those regions. so the situation over there is truly the most tense. and we are reading the news very

cautiously about what is happening there. and that is where they're having success and the ukrainian army doesn't have the weapons necessary to stall the advance. >> thank you so much for taking the time for joining us. please do keep safe and hopefully we'll speak to you again soon. thank you. >> thank you so much. thank you. >> that's it from us for today. before we go, we have a quick look at some of the things that you have been talking about today. this story very much having caught your eye, and heart breaking, the education secretary, how does he defend the news that a school boy reportedly collapsed from lunger in the cue at a london food bank. many thousands seeing that on twitter today and we do tend to pick up a lot of our interviews, we put up a lot of our interviews there on our web site, and you can see the snapshot of some of the interviews we have carried out for you this morning, ben and sophie in charge of putting

stuff up for you today, that's the most popular. and i also spoke to the minister for employment, allison mcgovern about, this she called it absolutely devastating and warning that a delay on pensions and benefits in line with the rising inflation, will cause a lot of pain for people in the months to come. thousands of you are viewing that as well on our twitter feed this morning. and as we say, we always tend to try to put up parts of our interviews for you, so if you haven't had time to stay with us throughout the course of the morning, then you can get the headlines on our twitter feed, @kay burly. coming up, we have been talking about today, what on earth was he doing? he won an oscar for his role as serena and venus's father, richard, king richard is the movie, but before that, he went on to the stage, and it looked as though he tried to punch out

the host. lapd has been informed, what will happen next? stay tuned for more.
