This is a very sad day for this community. They have remembered her as a humble member of this community who inspired many children to take up athletics, and who was ready to help many people. Herfamily has been remembering her as a pillar of their family, of their large family. She was supporting many of them, and so this is a big blow for them and also for the community in bukwo. Earlier in the day, the counsellors met and passed a motion to name a road and a stadium in honour of Rebecca Cheptegei. So the chart is currently running the funeral programme, but this is very much also a military event. They will be honouring her. We understand with a Gun Salute where she will be buried not too far from here at her fathers homestead. Rebeccas violent death has prompted a great deal of discussion in uganda and kenya. What is likely to change, though, as a result of her dying this way . Well, the hope is that its going to change, um, the way the laws are implemented, because the experts say that the laws are there to protect, uh, potentialvictims of Domestic Violence. However, they have not been implemented in a way that protects them. In kenya, where she lived, one in three women have experienced some form of Domestic Violence in their lifetimes. And therefore it is something that is being described as endemic. And here today, herfellow athletes are wearing black T Shirts printed with her picture and the inscription say no to Domestic Violence. Patience akumu is a ugandan lawyer who has campaigned on Gender Equality issues. She told me what lessons needed to be learned from Rebecca Cheptegeis violent death. I think that in this moment of deep sorrow and mourning, we need to reflect about the ways in which women, no matter their social status, no matter what theyve achieved in life, are still expected to bow to the expectations of society, even if it kills them. Domestic violence is still a reality for many women in africa, in eastern africa. The statistics tell us that at least 42 of women suffer some kind of violence in their lifetime. But this is perhaps an understatement because as an african women, a woman, every day on the roads, in school, youre sexualised, youre hustled. There are laws. There is systematic discrimination against women, systematic control of womens bodies where there are laws that have been passed in public places forbidding women to appear a certain way. For instance, in uganda, in kenya, there are laws to protect the so called family. There are laws that are reminding women that if they go astray, they will be put into their place and they will perish. And Rebeccas Death reminds us that this society expectations, these stereotypes, are still very real. They are still dangerous, and many women are suffering in silence. They are suffering in toxic relationships and paying with their lives. Just briefly, patience, then. What needs to change if laws are in place . How much does this come down to educating boys and men . Just briefly. It comes down to just looking inwardly and asking ourselves, what are we telling boys . How are we raising children who are in our hands, the boys . How are we raising girls . Are we preparing them to be willing victims . Are we raising boys who are seeing women as their equal, who do not feel the need to dominate, to conquer to the point of killing in order to feel like they are men enough . We need to challenge we need to challenge the definition the definition of an african man to make it of an african man to make it more inclusive, more empowering more inclusive, more empowering more open to different expert more open to different expert expressions, different expressions, different relationships, and to relationships, and to let men realise that let men realise that women have achieved. Women have achieved. They have survived violence, they have survived violence, female genital mutilation, female genital mutilation, persuaded the us to allow the basics and Theyve Grown the basics and Theyve Grown and theres been work and theres been work done and they should be done and they should be able and ready to exist able and ready to exist with the empowered woman with the empowered woman and not seek to dominate her. And not seek to dominate her. Sir Keir Starmer says talks Sir Keir Starmer says talks with president biden with president Biden In Washington have been in washington have been wide ranging and productive wide ranging and productive but wouldnt say whether Hed But Wouldnt say whether hed persuaded the us to allow ukraine to fire long range missiles into russia. President zelensky has repeatedly called for permission to use the weapons on targets across the border. He claims it is the only way to end the war. For him to end this. But we are having the discussion. Weve stood with ukraine. Ukraine has a right to self defence. And weve stood united, not just with our allies here in the us, but across with our nato allies. Thats very, very important to us. These are the long range Anglo French missiles. Ukraine would love to fire into russia, the uk making the argument to allies, its a request that should be granted. They rely on american Satellite Systems to work. You might ask why the Prime Minister has been so keen to dash here, to visit a president who we know will be gone in just a few months� time. His answer is there are urgent issues that need addressing now, not least this question of missiles. The president has been sceptical about ukraine being able to fire them into russia, fearing it would be dangerous. This is the reality of the war grinding on in ukraine, a country desperate for ongoing help, its allies weighing up how best to do it and at what cost. Chris mason, Bbc News in washington. We can cross live now to odesa and speak to michael bociurkiw. Hes a global Affairs Analyst and a nonresident Senior Fellow at the atlantic councils eurasia centre. Michael, thank you very much forjoining us on Bbc News. No public statement of a change in approach. How likely is it that eventually ukraine will get permission . I eventually ukraine will get permission . Eventually ukraine will get permission . I believe it will ha en, permission . I believe it will happen. It permission . I believe it will happen, it will permission . I believe it will happen, it will take permission . I believe it will. Happen, it will take sometime. The british Prime Minister still needs to discuss further with european allies, hes going to rome after the washington visit. This is very typical of what has happened since the start of the wall. The americans have been dragging theirfeet, the british and europeans take the lead and eventually the americans to act upon what is requested. There is no argument about the usefulness of these missiles for ukraine. They need the ability to strike deeper into russia at the Launch Pad pads whether missiles come into ukraine. It isnt enough to have a Defence System to protect ukraine, they need the ability to strike at the source. Ability to strike at the Source Ability to strike at the source. ,. ,. , source.

I think there is institutional resistance in the White House and the State Department to the idea of giving ukraine the Opportunity And Ability to strike into russia. I think Thatis Strike into russia. I think that is coming to putins bluffing about your use nuclear weapons. A few others in our circle believe he will. He could do something perilous, they do have the power plant, for instance. They could use it to trigger some accident which could cause a lot of damage, not only to ukrainians but everybody. Again, coming to putin, perhaps you would follow through on it. We putin, perhaps you would follow through on it through on it. We have the american through on it. We have the american President Ial through on it. We have the. American President Ial election in a couple of months. How different mighty approach to ukraine be Donald Trump were elected .

It is hard to believe, but we got a hint on what it would be. These are basically kremlin Talking Points of a Militarised Zone of allowing russia to keep what it has taken from ukraine, a Peacekeeping Force very ill defined. It doesnt look good for ukraine. I think Donald Trump will follow through on his promise to make a deal with President Putin in the few hours of his presidency, and that definitely will not be in Ukraines Favour.

Michael, thank you for your time since President Putins full Scale Invasion of ukraine more than two years ago, theres been a crackdown in russia on anyone expressing anti war views. Its revived grim memories of the soviet past, when denouncing colleagues and neighbours was widespread. Our russia editor, steve rosenberg, reports. Nadezhda buyanova is a doctor, but youll find her in court, not the clinic. The 68 year old paediatrician faces ten years in prison, accused of spreading fake news about the russian army. Nadezhda tells me i read about this kind of thing happening to others, you know. I never imagined it would happen to me. The story began at this moscow medical centre. A patient� s mother claimed that the doctor had told her russian soldiers in ukraine are legitimate targets. The woman recorded an angry video. Her Ex Husband had been killed fighting in ukraine. Then she wrote this denunciation of the doctor to police. It was enough to put her on trial. 400 miles away. Different trial, same charges. Near st petersburg, Hairdresser Anna Alexandrova had fallen out with her Neighbour Irina over a plot of land in their village. Their Family Feud led to anna being reported and accused of posting messages critical of the war in ukraine. She faces up to 15 years in prison. Any regrets from the other side . I feel sorry for her, says irinas mother, natalia. I dont want her to get a long sentence. I want her to receive a just punishment, says irina. Across the country, there are reports of russians informing on russians. One thing Russias War in ukraine has done here is turbocharge the hunt for internal enemies, for alleged traitors. And its in this atmosphere of us against them that you get Neighbour Snitching on neighbour students on neighbour, students informing on their teachers, professors on students and even parishioners denouncing priests. But one Thing Stalin did not give them theirfreedom. Sounds familiar. Under soviet dictator joseph stalin, denunciation was actively encouraged. The prison camps, the gulag, were full of victims whod been snitched on by their fellow citizens. What i find really remarkable is how quickly russian genetic memory has come back. How things that people who didnt live in those times suddenly act as if they did. Suddenly they are squealing on others. Yes, it is a soviet practice, but its also something about the russian genetic code, or fear of trying to protect themselves at the expense of others. And in this atmosphere, look whats happening. Some russians are taking the law into their own hands. On a moscow bus, two Men Attack 87 year old dmitri grinchy. They say they overheard him insulting russian mercenaries fighting in ukraine. Translation he lunged at me, flashing his eyes and gnashing i his teeth as if he wanted to bite me. He called over his son, a big guy who pressed his finger into my arm to hurt me. Ive got bruises here and here. The two men forced dmitri off the bus and dragged him to the police. He wasnt charged, but the incident has left dmitri shaken and angry. Translate the Russian Constitution says that everyone has the right to free speech. Why should others get to say what they think and not me . Under stalin, Dmitris Father was arrested and executed. An innocent man. Russias past is a painful one, but its the present that worries dmitri. With russia once again searching for enemies and agents and heading in a dangerous direction.
