He says russia has timed the expulsions to send a message to the uk. Absolutely no doubt, the timing is too coincidental. This is russian punishment for the uk being seen as a cheerleader for supplying weapons to ukraine. And the reasons they gave in their statement are completely trumped up. We are told the russian Spy Agency has documents from a department in the Foreign Office which say that the task of the embassy is ensuring russias strategic defeat against ukraine. Well, surprise, surprise, thats been british declared policy for 2. 5 years. So this is a trumped up story to create pressure on the british government. Our reporter Olga Malchevska has been following the story and checking the sources in russian. How sources in russian.

The russian media explain it quite people . The russian media explain it quite differently l people . The russian media| explain it quite differently to what the western media publish. I saw this statement from russian intelligence which was widely shared in all kremlin controlled media. It doesnt name the british diplomats who they are going to expel but at the russian Media Outlets do name them. They published six names of british diplomats who they are going to expel diplomats who they are going to expel. Were not going to say those names because we dont want to spread any misinformation. It is quite interesting to see that russian Media Outlets also immediately published lots of details which say the infamous russian Tv Channel Russia 2a immediately ran an interview with an Fsb Officer explaining the Details Officer explaining the details of how they allegedly verified that those people are spies, according to russia. They were accusing those people of a meeting with journalists, with Civil Activists and they were also naming a couple of Media Outlets and journalists that were allegedly meeting this british diplomats, including a human Rights Organisation which is quite widely known to the western institutions because they were campaigning for the rights of the russian people there in the country. What is also quite interesting is that the russian media ran quite a lot of details that one might question how it is possible to know and how it is possible for the Media Outlet to have right on set when the braking you cook. All that tells you is it was very well prepared, very well orchestrated operation which is obviously staged or poised to show the russian audience and the western audience and the western audience what russia is going to do or make the western audience more frightened of possible further actions of vladimir putin. Its possible further actions of vladimir putin. Possible further actions of vladimir putin. Its a Question Mark that vladimir putin. Its a Question Mark that they vladimir putin. Its a Question Mark that they are vladimir putin. Its a Question Mark that they are so vladimir putin. Its a Question Mark that they are so well mark that they are so well organised so it feels staged. We are not naming the names and not using the video that russian State Media is using. A lot of commentators are questioning the timing of this because all of this is around that question of whether the us and uk will allow kyiv to use long Range Missiles within a russian territory. Vladimir putin said that would be an absolute escalation that, i direct war with moscow. How is ukraine reacting to this, what is kyiv saying . Ukraine reacting to this, what is kyiv saying . Ukrainian media are widely is kyiv saying . Ukrainian media are widely sharing is kyiv saying . Ukrainian media are widely sharing the are widely sharing the statement of the british Prime Minister that ukraine was not the one that started this war, russia started this war. Ukrainian officials do not comment anything about that but ukrainian Media Experts are saying that while that is not a new statement by russia and the russian president , previously president zelensky said that how much more escalation it could ukraine face . And ukrainian authorities and civilians and experts are discussing that it is not really possible in the eyes of ukrainian society to have a big escalation because the authority seen at the bombardment of superior hospitals, of a kids hospital, they also saw the civilian infrastructure buildings destroyed and energy infrastructure. Even today, Ukrainian Media are reporting that several ukrainian cities were shelled and several people already killed there in various ukrainian cities. But speaking about the timing, obviously everyone links that to that statement and that the process of the british Prime Minister heading to washington, dc and studying with us counterparts they allege a possibility for ukraine to strike with long range muscles inside russia are. And we will see how that all develops. A long Range Missiles. That all develops. A longRange Missiles. Thank you. Just to longRange Missiles. Thank you. Just to add longRange Missiles. Thank you.

Just to add to the points we just to add to the points we were talking about, weve got a statement from the polish Prime Minister donald tusk, just added to that reaction by President Putin that the use of those western missiles in russian territory would be a direct Act Of War and were to bring nato into the frame. Tusk saying that all events in ukraine and on the russia ukraine front should be treated seriously but lets treated seriously but lets treat President Putins worked as an attempt to discourage the west from providing such aid. He added that President Putins words should convince us that this aid is necessary and should be continued. Poland one of those voices are looking for a long time now that western long Range Missile should be provided to ukraine as a means of defence. We are covering lots of reaction to this on our website and also to the expulsion of those Uk Diplomats as well. Pope francis is heading back to rome at the end of the longest trip of his papacy. The pontiff, who is 87, ended his 12 Day Tour of the Asia Pacific RegionIn Singapore, where he met young people at a Roman Catholic college. On thursday, he expressed concern for singapores rapidly ageing population and its migrant workforce, centred in the construction and domestic services industries. My Colleague Steve lai gave me his analysis of the pontiffs 12 day trip. Theres certainly a lot of ground to cover and he certainly covered a lot of topics as well. Just to get you Up To speed with what he did here In Singapore yesterday, he sat alongside Singapores President to address the countrys leaders, diplomats and heads of civil society. And then he celebrated mass with 50,000 people at the national stadium. Today was far less grand but perhaps equally meaningful. He started by visiting the sick and elderly, who you referred to just now, elderly residents from several homes for the aged, where he thanked them for their prayers and asked them to continue to pray for the church and for humanity as well. You mentioned he met with some young people as well. There are some interreligious dialogue at the Catholic Junior College here, including over 600 participants from 50 schools. The pope gave his thoughts on a range of questions asked, including how to harness the opportunities of ai and managing the risks it poses through disinformation of different groups. He said, a young person has to be a critic but you have to be constructive with your criticism as it can also be destructive. He also said that young people should use Social Media to move forward but not to be slaves of it. He called for sincere dialogue between young people of different faiths, likening religions to languages and that all lead to god. He also asked young people to have courage to move forward and respect dialogue and different faiths. That dialogue, or interfaith dialogue, is something that was a theme that came up throughout his trip here to the asia pacific or indonesia, where he started his trip. That was very much a message that he wanted to bring home. Now, the term time has started for many children Around The World, but in gaza, getting education has become a much more difficult, if not impossible, mission for many because of the ongoing war. Lets speak to awatef sheikh, ceo of the ajyal foundation for education, a uk based charity helping children in gaza. Any children accessing any type of education there, given what is ongoing . Is ongoing . Thank you for havin is ongoing . Thank you for having me is ongoing . Thank you for having me. Actually, is ongoing . Thank you for. Having me. Actually, children have been out of school since october 2023, saluting at least an entire year of learning. Not only learning, psychological and social development. Very few are getting some support but the entire School Population in gaza didnt have access to education since october last year. Access to education since october last year. The impact with that is october last year. The impact with that is obviously with that is obviously understandable but how are the children when youre talking to your people on the ground there, how are these kids coping .

Again, this is before the war started and we have the experience of conditions for children now and throughout the year have been far worse. Of the testimonies we get from parents when we speak to them to gather testimonies about how the children are coping, they are being skittish, irritable and highly fearful. The children are waking up multiple times per Night Screaming and showing several years of regression in their behaviour.

I just wonder, what kind of hope do they have given the conditions and what has already happened to them that youve experienced . The children are that youve experienced . The children are really that youve experienced . The children are really struggling, mentally and emotionally. The fact that they have experienced horrific conditions, many of them have been pulled from under the rubble. We hear stories about children that while they were forced to flee from the north into the south and displaced many times. We spoke to parents who had to flee and will forced to move at least three times. And children on that journey from least three times. And children on thatjourney from the north to the south have witnessed unimaginable scenes, including decomposing bodies and dead fellow palestinians eaten by animals. But this feeling of loss, Destruction And Displacement and feeling this on a daily basis since october has had a severe impact on childrens Mental Health in gaza. Taking us back to education and what israel has committed in gaza, but we call it edicide, because it is basically a genocide of education on the regions infrastructure. At the beginning of the year already, israel has destroyed all 11 universities in gaza. Over 80 of schools in gaza have been destroyed or damaged. We are talking about thousands of children denied access to education. We are talking about targeting the educational staff. We have 500 School Teachers and University Educators that have been killed. Over 3500 Education Staff that have been injured. We are talking about the maiming of children. We still dont have exact figures of how many children have lost limbs. We speak to parents or we say we get reports from the hospitals, we speak to displaced families the impact this is having on children themselves, on the families is unimaginable. You have reported from the Front Line in ukraine and im sure you have witnessed think there is but whatever is happening in gaza is on an insanely unimaginable and unacceptable the scale. You and your audience follows the news, the united nations says families in that shelter are regularly being targeted and bombed. There is a school few days ago, imagine having the 12,000 People Sheltering at a school and this school was used to vaccinate children against polio, and that was targeted. It is a united Nations School but still it was targeted by the israelis. Staff will target in addition to children and families that are taking shelter there. Families that are taking shelterthere.

Researchers say theyve solved the mystery of the origins of the seismic signal that shook the earth for nine days last september. They have pinned it down to a massive landslide which caused a tsunami in a remote fjord in greenland. The risk of these arctic landslides is increasing because of Climate Change, according to scientists, as Victoria Gill reports. A land continuously carved and moulded by vast glaciers. But in one fjord in the east of greenland, a seismic event has transformed the landscape here forever. Were seeing here a simulation of how this seismic signal travelled Around The World. When we run this, well start to see this wave. This animation shows the signal that baffled scientists for nine days in september of last year. The dots are seismic monitors Around The World, picking up vibrations from something happening in greenland. At the same time that scientists were puzzling over that, a Team Working in greenland received a report of a large tsunami in the east of the country. These photographs show what caused it a huge landslide into this fjord. Look at the Mountain Top in this image. Taken before the event. And look at it afterwards the top of The Mountain is gone, collapsed into the fjord, taking part of the glacier with it. The scientists analysed the Depth And Shape of this narrow, 200 kilometre long fjord, and that revealed why the tsunami the landslide caused reverberated Around The World for so long. The wave was essentially trapped. The energy of that wave just cant escape, so that wave has tojust keep bouncing back and forth, sloshing back and forth in the fjord. Itjust cant go anywhere. Never before has such a long duration large Scale Movement of water over nine days, in this case been observed. Remote as it is, this is a location that Cruise Ships do visit fortunately, no vessels were in the area when the landslide happened but scientists say the risk of these events is increasing with Climate Change. This glacier was holding up The Mountain. Over decades, it melted and thinned, and eventually millions of cubic metres of rock simply collapsed. Its a destructive Side Effect of Climate Change that was felt Around The World.

Captured on camera, home made traps have helped but what residents really want is for the problem to end.
