Russian infighting 'out of control' in Bakhmut The agreement, the understanding is that Ukraine will not strike targets on Russian territory. Well, this is the grey area. I mean, yes, the UK is saying we don't want these weapons to be used to strike Russian territory, but it's interesting that US, for example, so far has been reluctant to offer anything of the range of storm shadow. Perhaps where that grey area is crystallised is Crimea, because Crimea is de facto Russian territory now, but of course it's regarded by the UK and Western Allies as part of Ukraine still. So one thinks that that would be seen as a legitimate target in Western capitals, although obviously the reaction from Moscow would probably be pretty strong. Yeah, and it is true over the weekend that a Russian military aircraft, a couple of helicopters, a bomber and a combat aircraft were shot down ...

Tom Bower: 'I was disgusted' by Boris Johnson's attempt to knight his father What were your thoughts when you saw this Tom? I was disgusted. Tell me why in particular. Well because I couldn't understand for what he should be knighted. I mean as my book shared conclusively Stanley Johnson was a terrible husband to Boris's mother. She told me shortly before she died in a very long and very harrowing conversation how Stanley, her husband had regularly beat her over the years of her marriage. I mean breaking the nose as your paper reported today was just one consequence. The more important consequence was that she was driven to a nervous breakdown and went to the Maudsley for nearly four months. And not only did he beat her, but he beat her up in front of Boris. So he saw it and combined with this appalling treatment he was serially an adulterer. So she felt complete...

Liberating Russian-targeted territories is Ukraine's top priority We can tackle any objects in Russian territory because Russia is aggressive against Ukraine and we have all moral and juridical right to do this. But for the moment, for us, it's more important to liberate our territories. So that is our priority aim. At least nine people died earlier today in a new wave of strikes across Ukraine, in which Russia used powerful weapons, including rare hypersonic missiles. Russia had reportedly not fired Kinzau hypersonic missiles, which can evade their defenses since the beginning of the conflict. And this latest barrage was the most severe to hit Ukraine for weeks, cutting power to the Zaporizhia nuclear plant, which is Europe's biggest. Well, earlier this evening, I spoke to Alexei Honcharenko, people's deputy of Ukraine, and former chairman of the Odessa Oblast Council...

Is Harry glamorising drugs? | Valentine Low Actually what Harry said was rather concerning because he's saying that taking these drugs, he took it to help him cope and it did help him cope. Will a strange son Harry turn up for his father Charles' big day? Will Harry bring along his wife? And if he does, will it all kick off? There's even a comic plot line about not being able to find a band. Valentine Lois at times is a royal correspondent and joins us this morning. Morning Valentine. Good morning Stig. Will Charles be saying to him get out of my palace? It's not impossible. Is this story as advertised, Val, because it does feel that they should just get a grip on this either way because who's interested for this to become such a soap opera? I think it's certainly not in the palace's interest that their desperate pritchards go away for it all to quieten dow...

Harry and Meghan are ‘concerned’ about attending King Charles’ coronation There is no sign of any kind of reconciliation at the moment. And there is certainly no sign now that Harry is going to get that apology that he is so desperate for. Now, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are apparently an email correspondence with the King's Office about whether they're going to attend the coronation. It's not clear if they're going to come. Sarah Husson is TalkTV's Royal Editor who joins us this morning. Hi, Sarah. Morning to you, Rosie. So there had been a little bit of speculation as to whether they'd be even be invited at all. It seems as though they have been asked to save the date. Yes, we've got news from the Sussex camp this weekend that there has been email correspondence regarding the coronation, whether that's an official invitation or logistics around ...

‘The Iranian regime is poisoning schoolgirls’ It's about the freedom for women and they know very well if women have freedom They have lost their control over their people. It is about fear. It's about control. It's just a clothing. It's just an instrument, a system they are using to control their people. In Iran, more than a thousand girls at several schools have been affected by unexplained illnesses since November. Well Iran's Supreme Leader, Alatoi Al-Haminay, has called the wave of suspected poisonings of schoolgirls an unforgivable crime. While petitioning for the UN to investigate the poisonings, but yet still urging Iranian schoolgirls to overcome fear and go to school at any cost, is Dabrina Brett Tamraz. Dabrina spent her childhood and teenagers living in Iran under constant state surveillance. She's been arrested, interrogated numerous times while ...

Bakhmut won't fall into Russian hands 'any time soon' So I would say in central back, 10 days ago with the times team and spoke to a lot of the soldiers fighting there and the commanders fighting there and was able to move into some areas of the center of the city. I don't think it's going to fall anytime soon. And here's why. The Russians have managed to dominate the battlefield around the city. It's a small city or large town, depending on how you look at it. In the last 48 hours, they have the Russians have captured the entire east side of the city. The city is divided north to south by a thin river. But they've been fighting in that eastern side really since the beginning of December. So it's not like they've just swept in yesterday and grabbed it. They've just got the last few streets that they didn't already hold. They have got t...

Well last night was actually the second night of Mastery protests that we've been seeing here in Tbilisi And before that even people were coming out in crowds to protest against this legislation That the government's been trying to push through and again last night we had police in riot gear using water cannon and tear gas and pepper spray to Dispel to get rid of the protesters who were o...

Russian strikes send nuclear power plant into emergency mode We are meant to care about nuclear safety. Each time we are rolling a dice and if we allow this to continue time after time then one day our luck will run out. Saporizia nuclear power plant is running on emergency diesels. The last line of defense. This is the sixth time. Let me say it again. This is the sixth time that the Saporizia nuclear power plant has lost all of sight power and has had to operate in this emergency mode. Let me remind you this is the largest nuclear power station in Europe operating for the sixth time under emergency diesel generators. What are we doing? How can we sit here in this room this morning and allow this to happen? This cannot go on. I am astonished by the complacency. Yes, the complacency. What are we doing to prevent this from happening? We are the IAEA. We are meant to care about nuclear...

Martin Lewis: Energy Price Guarantee rise would be 'act of national harm' If the price rises in April, it's not firms, it's not regulators, it is the government putting people's prices up. Well, I wrote to the Chancellor three weeks ago, asking him to not increase the rise, the energy price guarantee in April by 20% as planned, for all the reasons that have just been outlined there. And most importantly, what you have to understand is if we do increase it, it would result in an act of national mental health harm. People have been battered by successive rises in energy bills, 14% rises in broadband, 7% in water, 5% in council tax. And for the sake of just three months, and you heard the explanation of why it's just three months there, to send millions of people another letter is bad for people's finances. It's bad for people's state of mental health....
