continues, the bank of england is forced to step in again. let s start with the war in ukraine we ve seen a second day of russian missile strikes across the country. have a look at this map. it shows all the places that have been hit since monday morning. we ll take a closer look at the damage done in a moment. but first, let s look at the international response. an emergency meeting of g7 leaders that s the group of rich countries has warned russia that irresponsible nuclear rhetoric is threatening global peace. ukraine s president, volodymyr zelensky, had this message. translation: i ask you to increase yourjoint efforts to help financially to create the air shield for ukraine. millions of people will be grateful to the group of seven. now this is the statement issued by the g7 after its meeting. these pictures released earlier by the russian ministry of defence show a little of what s been going on. more cruise missiles launched what they describe as a massive
the economy with its new plan to cut tax and increase borrowing. don t forget, don t forgive. the only way to stop this is with a labour government. applause and nasa has deliberately flown a space craft into an asteroid to push it off course in the first test of a planetary defence system. voting has ended in widely discredited referendums organised by russia in four occupied regions in ukraine. as expected, russia is claiming that an overwhelming majority of residents are in favour ofjoining russia, but not all the votes have yet been counted. ukraine and the west have condemned the five day vote as a sham and an attempted land grab by moscow. russia s president claims hejust wants to help people living there. nearly four million people from the eastern regions of donetsk and luhansk and the southern regions of kherson and zaporizhzhia were to attend polling stations and vote. the areas in question represent 15% of ukraine s territory roughly the size of portugal. b
weather center with the very latest. the new advisory, what does it say tom? well john, we don t have much the way changes except the pressure is dropping. i usually takes a while, when the pressure drops the storm get stronger. so we re gonna notice areas even though the winds have not changed, still 100 miles per hour sustained winds. they will start to increase. now when the pressure drops, the equivalent to a stronger wind pattern. in fact, these are just heat engines. they feed on that warm water. that warm water, then, as a rises up. change the kinetic energy and goes to wind. we are now about 130 miles from the land mass. but typically contracts with olena so break it down. there s already underwent a rapid intensification and will do it again. category four. i thought we had a category four passes close to tampa was in 1950. so there s a lot of people have never been through something like this. and even though john it goes before to a category one, they know attent
So lot of thought went into what would be the best way to test if we can deflect an asteroid. and once you have a very well calculated and measured orbit. if you now give it notch. his head oncology, in this case. then you can see what has happened to the orbit after that collision. and so, it s a bit brilliantly conceived and designed. i think we should ve been doing this decades ago. so the part that i can get past is that we need a planetary defence system. this is a dry run to test technology in caitlan asteroid is headed towards earth that poses a threat to humankind. what is the chance of that actually happening? you can bet that if the dinosaurs had nafta, they would ve left asteroid that took about 65 million years ago. so, i don t to be the laughing stock of the galaxy to be the only species to not only be smart enough to be able to
That s our witness to an exhilarated treatment by nasa. i step towards a planetary defence system. the space agency deliberately slammed a spacecraft into an asteroid to change its course. but he ll be sometime before not successful the mission was. this is what it looked like from the camera on board the craft fair process the asteroid as well as a very excited mission control. then, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. oh my gosh.
