ian mckellen, sir ian mckellen... i am not to say sir, thank you so much for your time.. hello. i think skies like this on thursday — large cumulus clouds — and over the high ground, certainly the possibility of some wintry showers. but wherever you are on thursday, there's a chance of catching a little rain, but there'll be lengthy sunny spells, too, so it's not all bad. but the weather is unsettled, and you can see low pressures there moving off the atlantic in our direction. one such area of low pressure currently crossing the uk, giving a spell of some very windy weather from northern ireland through the irish sea, but particularly windy around the lancashire coastline around merseyside. northern parts of wales, gusts of wind here approaching 60 mph for a time during the early morning, and also across the highlands of scotland, the cold northerly wind bringing a covering of snow across the hills there. now the temperatures early on thursday morning, three celsius in aberdeen, eight celsius in london. and then this is the picture through the day — the low pressure is

[laughter] realistically, what will elon musk do? ian: there are a lot of questions. he wants to change the way moderation works. he feels they are too tough on the extremists and harassers they have kicked off the platform. so one person who spoke up today was trump. he says he will not rejoin twitter if he is offered. he wants to focus on his social network that he hasn't even posted on. other things elon musk said he wants to change is an edit button. a lot of people have been asking for that for years. and also he said he wants to basically share the code behind the computer programs that pick the top tweets we see in the trending bars. i was injured in a car crash. i had no idea how much my case was worth. i called the barnes firm. when a truck hit my son, i had so many questions about his case. i called the barnes firm. i

that speech by ian mackey was something that did not have to be written. he did not have to write it himself because it just poured out of him in a controlled, righteous fury that is a painful and beautiful thing to be hold. it is, i guarantee you, the best and most moving speech in this week in american politics and in most weeks of american politics. we'll bring you that speech in our second segment tonight and in mackey will join us as a guest on this program, for what i heard is the first of many appearances. and president zelenskyy's best interview ever with the atlantic, he said he feels like bill murray, and it is at moments like that in this fascinating interview that you realize, volodymyr zelenskyy, is more fluent in american popular culture and british popular culture than any other president in the world, possibly even including joe biden. president zelenskyy told the atlantic, quote, i like new questions, he said. it is not interesting to answer the questions you already heard. he is frustrated, for instance, by repeated request for his wish l

ian pannell joining us tonight from kyiv. and ian, we noted president biden today saying the u.s. will supply military assistance to ukraine as long as the russian assaults and atrocities continue and other top officials are suggesting this could last for some time now. >> reporter: yeah, i think that's right. and i don't think there's any telling how long it is fog to last. i mean, the fighting in the east is escalating. thousands have been killed. millions forced from their homes and a peace process that looks dead in the water. i think expect this war to go on for months at best, possibly into next year. and it's going to test the ukrainians above all, but also u.s. and nato resolve. whit? >> ian, thank you. >>> and president biden now working to convince congress to approve his $33 billion pledge to ukraine, so, let's go to washington now and our senior white house correspondent mary bruce. mary, congressional leaders sounding on mystic today, but still some challenges ahead. >> reporter: the president admitted himself today this is a lot of money. it would mean the u.s. would

ian wright, and i think... ian — hang on — ian wright inspired bend it like beckham? yeah!t bend it like wrighty? gurinder chadha, the director, saw ian wright wearing a unionjack flag and thought she wanted to write about it, because it's kind of like this evolving concept of britishness that she saw within football. what do you think about that, and how football is such a unifierfor so many different communities in britain? well, there's no question that does unify the nation. you just see it in world cups or european championships where everyone gets behind england. in fact, it's the only time we do probably come together. you know, if it was what originated the idea of bend it like beckham with ian wright in the union jack shirt and then, it ended up being bend it like beckham, but you know, anything that involves football and getting more people to play it or different people from asian side of things as well, i think it was one of the attractions to doing it. it's surprising that things haven't changed too much in terms of the asian presence in the game. i think there

ian wright. hang on, ian wright inspired bend it like beckham? yeah. isn't it bend it's like wrighty? the director saw ian wright wearing the unionjack flag and she wanted to write about it. it's this evolving britishness she saw in football. what you think about that and how football is such a unifier for so many communities in britain? there is no question that football unifies the nation. you see it in the world cup and european championships when everyone gets behind england. in fact it's the only time we do probably come together. if that's what originated the idea of phil with ian wright in a unionjack shirt and it ended up being bend it like beckham, anything that involves football and getting more people to play it or more people from the asian side of things as well, i think it was one of the attractions to doing it. it's surprising things haven't changed too much in terms of the asian presence in the game. i think there is a slight change i have seen in recent times but hopefully it will happen and it will become more popular because a lot of

ian, i'll take this back to you. putin thinks he will not be isolated. to an extent, economically, right at this moment, he might be right. at what point does the world find a way to disengage itself from russia so he can be isolated? >> i think that the western world is isolating itself from russia, and i think that that decoupling is permanent. the only major engagement that the advanced industrial democracies still have with russia at this point is oil and gas from russia to europe. the oil is going to be cut off in all likelihood in the coming months. we've already heard from a major of european leaders they're moving in that direction. even the germans said by the end of the year they want it done. gas is about 2% of russian gdp to europe. that's probably going to be cut off too in relatively short order but maybe not this year. the problem is that we're only talking about the rich democracies. when you talk about the rest of the world, they're not on board. so this idea that the international community is going to make russia a pariah, mika, there'

i thought my yoga lady shanie, of course i woke, excuse me, on the ian national. what shall thought that he got a chance of. but anyway, i thought that was the idea of the events unfolding in ukraine or a cause for concern among anti fascists around the world. people of different nationalities and from various countries have gone to don bus. i served with some great people the suit, brittany regiments, which was maybe 50 guys volunteers from all over the world. became here to defend the idea of russian people that were being attacked by the ukrainian army from serbia, from spain, from italy, from the other side of ukraine, from russia as well from america. i'm not the only american that spot here he was, they got a movie that's pretty slow. so noodle see below noto alexis castillo, a spanish anti fascist, and his minded friends were watching events in ukraine closely so so, so saying, alyssa law came my day for so last came marianna finance from blue to stolen money for stunned alcantar cont, i look at our country and on my gun, he had missed a moment of what's be
