the defence secretary ben wallace, the foreign secretary liz truss were not really considered. still the issue that divides england and the uk from the european union. on all the things on brexit, he will be blocked by the european union, so he can expect nothing on this side of the channel. it's interesting. i think we have seen... you talk about, "there's not much talk about brexit." - i i think people are being cagey,| because they think that ship has sailed, but there is emerging - evidence that trade as a percentage of the uk's economy has fallen two and a half times faster _ than any other g7 economy. you've had the uk, _ they were supposed to have these border checks coming in the same way as they come out. they've decided after many years, they're saying, - "given what's going on, - we're not going to bother," so it is no surprise that if you look to europe, i the conservative government is not going to find _ too many friends there, - but again the question will be, and you made that point, can you...? do people blame their local- councillor who may be conservative for

and some breaking news for you — in the last hour the uk foreign secretary liz truss has said via twitteray have used chemical agents in an attack on the people of mariupol". she said, "we are working urgently with partners to verify details and that any use of such weapons would be a callous escalation in this conflict" and that the uk government would "hold putin and his regime to account". let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines... president biden and indian prime minister narendra modi have discussed the war in ukraine during talks via video link. mr biden was expected to urge modi to toughen his stance towards moscow. delhi has so far declined to impose sanctions or directly criticise the invasion. last month the us president described india's stance as "somewhat shaky". at least 25 people have died in landslides and floods caused by tropical storm megi which hit the country's eastern and southern region on monday. philippine authorities have confirmed they recovered 22 bodies in the eastern province of leyte, and a further three in the southern davao region. the sri

britain's foreign secretary, liz truss, says russian forces must be pushed out of the whole of ukraineon yet of the uk's aims for the conflict. she described a victory for ukraine as a strategic imperative for the west, and she said should more must be done to deter future russian aggression, by spending more on defence and excluding russia from western markets. we can't be complacent. the fate of ukraine hangs in the balance. but let's be clear. if putin succeeds, there will be untold further misery across europe and terrible consequences across the globe. we would never feel safe again. so we must be prepared for the long haul. we've got to double down on our support for ukraine and we must follow through on the unity that we've shown in the crisis. a ukrainian marine commander holed up inside the azovstal steel works in the besieged port city of mariupol has made another impassioned appealfor rescue. serhiy volyna says about 600 soldiers who have been resisting russian attack are badly injured. he said many civilians are trapped with them. translation: in our group, - there are more

so i'm told that liz truss who is also the minister for women and equality is considering her optionsthere has been a furious reaction among some, one said if it is cancelled they feel there has been a failure to deliver for people. the government say boris johnson is committed to bringing forward legislation on this, but the issues are complex and i understand related to concerns a ban could hinder people struggling with gender identity. they say they will carry out further work on this.- identity. they say they will carry out further work on this. the green party has launched its campaign for the local elections in england and wales. the party's co—leaders accused the government of failing voters on living costs and on the environment and promised insulation projects to reduce energy needs and keep homes warm. insulation programmes don't sound very glamorous, but what they can deliver is nothing short of incredible. imagine a warm, snug home, even on the coldest days, little no no heating bills at all, and a neighbourhood that has nearly zero emissions. also today, welsh labour laun

the british foreign secretary, liz truss, has told nato colleagues that the age of engagement with russiadinner in brussels, she said it was time for nato to toughen its response and take strategic action. she encouraged allies to arm ukraine quickly, giving kyiv the equipment it needs to make sure russia fails. russia has said it is pivoting its assault to focus on the eastern part of ukraine. the ukrainian government has urged people in some of those areas to evacaute, ahead of a renewed attack. efforts continue meanwhile, to evacuate an estimated 130,000 people who remain trapped in the southern port city of mariupol. the ukrainian authorities say they're trying to get civilians out through humanitarian corridors — with limited success. our correspondent, tom bateman, reports now from the city of zaporizizhia, north of mariupol — he's been speaking to some of those who've managed to escape the fighting. some of the people arriving here didn't know if their country still existed. these are the survivors of europe's biggest humanitarian crisis in a generation. they've had no contact with

here, the foreign secretary, liz truss, called for more weapons and more sanctions to limit the powerary machine. she has also argued that russia should be suspended from the un human rights council. but gathering incontrovertible evidence of war crimes can be a challenging process, and the threshold of proof needs to be very high to secure prosecutions, as our special correspondent allan little explains. as russian forces retreat, the evidence accumulates of atrocities against civilians. near kyiv, a man attempting to flee sees a tank and gets out of his car. seconds later, he is shot dead. nearby, a woman has buried her only son with her own hands. it falls into a pattern of behaviour which is consistent with anti—partisan warfare, or mopping—up operations, that the russian military has conducted in a number of conflicts in the past, and essentially it is aimed at terrorising the population in response to insurgents or resistance fighters operating from their communities. and so the intent is to make the population pay a collective price for sustaining resistance. the precedent for

and britain's foreign secretary liz truss earlier posted on twitter to say there are "reports that russian used chemical agents in an attack on the people of mariupol". she says "we are working urgently with partners to verify details" and that "any use of such weapons would be a callous escalation in this conflict". she says the uk government would "hold putin and his regime to account". let's get some of the day's other news. the prime minister of sri lanka, mahinda rajapaksa, says his country has reached a decisivejuncture and called for patience as protests continue over the government's handling of the economic crisis. in a televised address, mr rajapaksa said the unrest was harming the economy. officials in shanghai have announced a slight easing of strict covid lockdown measures for a limited number of residents. communities which go for at least two weeks without a covid infection will have their restrictions altered. the current rules have provoked increasing anger from those unable to orderfood to their apartments. president biden has announced new rules to crack down on what are

the foreign secretary, liz truss, has told nato colleagues there is "no time for false comfort" overin the east of ukraine, it's taking its toll. bomb blast translation: it�*s commonplace at the moment. there was also shelling here before, and the house there was hit. my neighbour's house was hit. of course, i am scared. people in the east of the country are being urged to flee now — while they still can — by the ukrainian government, with russia expected to intensify its attacks there. residents told this is a matter of life and death. the red cross has helped evacuate people from the besieged city of mariupol, though it's thought 130,000 remain trapped there. as you can see, we have made it to zaporizhzhia with seven other buses and more than 500 civilians that were coming out of mariupol. we hope that we'll be back and continue to provide the safe passage to the civilians. in areas around the capital, kyiv, the ukrainian forces are now back in control. the russian withdrawal is now complete, according to the pentagon. that's allowing residents who have fled the fighting to return,
