are reunited with their families. two years after the russian invasion, ukraine is struggling to recruit front line soldiers. the united nations says — the extinction risk — of the most vulnerable species is on the rise. and the kansas city chiefs win the super bowl, beating the san francisco 49ers by three points. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, hello from the bbc sport centre the party is probably still going in las vegas after this year's superbowl — as more than 100 million watched the kansas city chiefs beat the san francisco 49ers in overtime to win their third title in five years.

a last—gasp field goal by the chiefs made it 19—19 to send the game into overtime, and — although the 49ers edged back in front — patrick mahomes�* touchdown pass the party is probably still going in las vegas to mecole hardman to make it 25—22 to defending champions kansas city, who cemented their status as the first nfl dynasty since the new england patriots. the night was made even bigger by the prescence of taylor swift. the singer was supporting her boyfriend travis kelce — the chiefs tight end. swift has brought new fans to the nfl, especially women and girls. and the celebrations continued on the field and in the locker room, and our correspondent nesta mcgregor was right in the heart of the celebrations in las vegas. does this feel any different? diversity, what this team went

hours, i minute and 35 seconds and he had broken the world record, running in 2 hours and 35 seconds. breaking a world record takes years of practice, years of build—up. someone like eliud kipchoge took more than a decade just to break the marathon world record, starting from the track and then coming into the road, so it tells you how talented and how special he was. there's one game in the premier league later — between two clubs lower down the table than they'd like to be. chelsea are 11th, and they travel to crystal palace who're 15th. to crystal palace who're 13th. manager roy hodgson will be taking charge of this 200th premier league match. chelsea head coach mauricio pochettino says he respects the experience hodgeson has. however, palace are five points and three places above the relegation zone, so hodgson is under pressure from supporters who've been protesting. we've had two heavy defeats. it's a

fact of life. it's a situation that is there and we cannot change it, no words of mine are no explanations are going to change it, that is where we are. and we have got to get on with it and keep doing the best we can for them. but we understand that at the moment there not too with the situation. they let us know they are not happy with the situation. we have to take that on board. i situation. we have to take that on board. . , ., board. i admire him, he is an unbelievable _ board. i admire him, he is an unbelievable coach. - board. i admire him, he is an unbelievable coach. and - board. i admire him, he is an unbelievable coach. and i - board. i admire him, he is an l unbelievable coach. and i think board. i admire him, he is an - unbelievable coach. and i think he is working — unbelievable coach. and i think he is working really well and of course, _ is working really well and of course, there is pressure, when you lose one _ course, there is pressure, when you lose one or— course, there is pressure, when you lose one or two games, there is always— lose one or two games, there is always pressure. no doubt that he is going _ always pressure. no doubt that he is going to, _ always pressure. no doubt that he is going to, you know, to be successful with palace — going to, you know, to be successful with palace. i hope after our game. and that's all the sport for now.

when russia launched its invasion of ukraine, volunteer fighters rushed to the frontlines to defend their territory — a whole nation was mobilised, and western aid and weapons poured two years on, the headlines have switched to talk of frozen funding, ammunition shortages, and problems recruiting soldiers. but, as our eastern europe correspondent, sarah rainsford reports, the price it s having to pay is rising all the time. these are the patrols many ukrainian men now dread. conscription officers like this man, hunting for draft dodgers. ukraine needs a lot more soldiers, but they're not flooding to the front lines any more. so some have to be caught and cajoled. pavlo lost his arm near bahmut in a mortar attack. but he wanted to go on serving his country. so now he looks for other men who can still fight. translation: there's - a full-scale war, but it's still like people don't care. we need everyone to come together, like they did on the first day.

everyone was united then, like brothers. but when i ask about friends who've served with him, pavlo tells me there's almost no—one left from his company. translation: everyone's either injured like me, or dead. - when the russians occupied lilia's town, her son was captured and tortured. when sergey escaped, he signed up to fight for ukraine. he's now been badly injured, but his mother is afraid he'll recover and go back to the front. sergey says his friends there need him. translation: while he's in hospital, i can sleep calmly- — when he's on the front line, i can't sleep. so i really shouldn't say this — i'm glad he's not

there at the front. every ukrainian town now has cemeteries like this, filled with the soldiers honoured by their country as heroes, and mourned deeply by theirfamilies. vladislav was killed by a mine near bahmut. he was 22. ena hasn't put his photo on the grave yet because she can't quite accept her only son has gone. but she's proud of him. translation: i believe my son died doing the right thing. - when i ask about those who avoid signing up, ena doesn'tjudge them. translation: do you think my son wasn't afraid? - i was afraid, too, when he went. everyone is afraid of dying. but maybe being enslaved by russia is scarier. she calls it a fight

to protect ukraine's freedom, but the cost is growing. sarah rainsford, bbc news. let's return to one of the headline stories we brought you a short while ago. migratory species such as the african penguin and the whale shark play a crucial role in protecting the ea rth�*s habitats. but a landmark report from the united nations says the extinction risk of the most vulnerable species is on the rise. the report concludes that human actions, such as habitat destruction and climate change, are to blame. joining me now is our climate and science reporter esme stallard. another red light flashing on the dashboard. we know many species are at risk but this is the first time migratory species have been the cat and the numbers are alarming. one in

five species assessed were found to be at risk of extinction. in some animal groups, for example, fish, of all species assessed, they were all at risk of extinction. earlier today i spoke to the united nations environment programme executive secretary and she explained to me what is driving the decline in numbers and what countries can do to reverse this trend. you know, as you know, these migratory species, they move thousands of kilometres from the high north to africa and back. and so when you have to think about this, the distances that are involved and the kind of protection that would be needed, we humans have not done our best, although the convention has certainly been ringing the alarm bells for all these years. but essentially, the migratory species, whether by air, by water or by land, are telling us that as a tag line to this convention, this cop is, nature knows no borders, and we need to understand that they are an essential... they are essentially sending

a message to the rest of the world that our wetlands are not in good stead, that we keep fragmenting land through agriculture and infrastructure, that we construct fences and walls, and that we pollute our lands and ourwaterand ourair. and these are the drivers of the loss of biodiversity. and this is why this report that is out today highlights exactly these issues. and we've known these issues for a long time. dirty air, polluted water, infrastructure that fragments the landscape. but it is these aspects that we have to be very mindful of, and we also know what the solutions are. corridors for migratory land species, smart fishing nets that we don't have bycatch, a clever infrastructure that interferes with aerial migrations. it's entirely doable. and you're in uzbekistan at the moment for the next couple of weeks, because countries are now coming together, aren't they,

to discuss this report? what are you hoping is going to come out of that meeting? so every convention has a number of parties and every convention therefore has a conference of the party, also referred to as cop. and this is a 14th cop of this convention. doesn't happen every year like climate. it happens every three years. and there are a number of important decisions on the docket for this particular cop ia here in uzbekistan. one of the important and interesting things is that the central asian countries that make up this part of the world, have decided to make a lot of initiatives, creating transboundary protected areas, ensuring that there's much greater restoration and tree—planting, being mindful of the infrastructure that is yet to go down in this region and how it is constructed. so these are the kind of examples to the rest of the world, but also we need to think about, as we set out, to do what we must do in terms of critical mineral exploration, including the prospecting

that is currently under way in other areas for deep sea mining. we need to be very mindful that this cannot interfere with the obligations that we have under the convention for migratory species. so whether it's current threats or those that might come in the future, these have to be all part of the docket and they are all part of the conversations and the decisions that will be taken here at this cop. that was the executive secretary to the united nations environment programme speaking me today. countries have gathered to discuss the findings of this landmark report that reveals one in five migratory species are at risk of extinction. thank you very much for the latest on that report. police in delhi have banned all public gatherings ahead of a protest march on india's capital on tuesday, by thousands of farmers. security forces have put up concrete barricades, metal blocks and iron nails to close key highways leading into the city.

the farmers are demanding minimum pricing on crops, and more protection for their livelihoods. the protests come ahead of national elections in which prime minister narendra modi is expected to win a third term in office. india's farmers form an influential voting bloc. more now from nitin srivastava, bbc india correspondent in delhi. india's capital is preparing again. preparing again for a massive farmers' protest which might start on the 13th of february. this happened only two years back when hundreds of thousands of farmers had laid siege to borders in delhi, bordering states of punjab were sealed, traffic was obstructed. the farmers were demanding the repeal of a farmers law passed by the government in 2020. now they plan to start protesting again from the 13th of february asking what they left back then. and the demands are the same.

the farmers want the government to guarantee a minimum support price for their annual yield of crops. they also want pensions to the farmers and 200 unions across the country also want better working conditions in the farms. and better promotion of their crops in terms of foreign imports and exports. what's important to be remembered is the fact that after almost a year long agitation, the government had repealed the laws back in 2021, after india's top court had intervened. but the farmers say nothing much has changed and the government is still not serious. while the government says it is going to be in negotiations with the farmer to avoid a confrontation. meanwhile, the capital delhi has banned all processions, weddings and funerals will need special permission from the government for at least one month, traffic advice has been issued while the government

and administration is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that huge numbers of farmers do not manage to reach the protesting sites which has been earmarked in case the negotiations and talks of the governments fail, the farmers are really adamant. now, citizens of delhi and the adjoining areas are really, really bothered as to what the next month is going to be like for them if that happens again. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. a new colour, a new way of running the buses. this yellow fleet of mostly electric vehicles is part of a fundamental change. but can it get the public on board? greater manchester has been taking its buses back under local control, starting here in bolton,

the idea here is to give the public a bigger say on how services are run. and there is pressure for the approach to be adopted elsewhere, including the northeast. so could this be a route for other regions to follow? anne from newcastle, certainly hopes so. she has organised a petition about services lost from her local stop, saying residents have been left isolated from key facilities. we have a health centre here that people in heaton use, they have to get taxis, though. you have a lot of senior citizens who can't afford it. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. days after el salvador s president nayib bukele was re—elected, the bbc has been granted rare access to a mega—prison that has become a symbol of the president s controversial war against gang violence. the government says the facility — known as the centre

for the confinement of terrorism — can hold up to 40,000 inmates, and has no outside recreational space. a recent human rights watch report criticised widespread human rights violations, including mass arbitrary detention, and ill—treatment. the moment nayib bukele claimed victory. under his presidency, the murder rate has plummeted. he has a crackdown on crime. nothing symbolises the success and controversy of the policy as this mega present. days after his re—election, the bbc was invited on a carefully orchestrated guided tour to show us the face of nayib bukele

war on gangs. our guide, the prison director was happy to appear on camera but asked us not to name him. prison workers are stand on arrival. no family visitors are allowed. the cards have plenty of firepower. we are told not to speak to the inmates or even make eye contact with them. the governor says this prison can't hold up to 40,000 high ranking gang members whose actions, it says, have led to decades of bloodshed and terror. the director picks out five inmates for us. two of them kidnapped, tortured and murdered four members of the armed forces. this is perhaps the most

controversial part of nayib bukele's clamp down on gangs. a mega present which holds thousands of which human rights organisations have said is a black hole for prisoners rights. last year, the bbc obtained documents that were shared with us anonymously by an engineer who was involved in the construction of the present. the document shows that if the prison was at full capacity, each inmate would have 0.58 square metres of space, well below the recommendations. the banks are metal plates and each cell has two toilets in the open. despite extensive criticism from human rights groups, nayib bukele and his government claim the prison is an effective answer to an problem. you are watching bbc news.

day across wales. we could see more clouds developed towards the south—west. as we head through the rest of the afternoon. today is the best day of the week in terms of sunshine. it is going to turn wetter, it will be unsettled, atlantic system sweeping in from the waist with very mild air. temperatures in blue at the moment. and we get the south—westerly growing and, very mild air, temperatures are going to rise, particularly on wednesday and thursday. back to today, and you can see this little feature across western scotland, running west to east, bringing increased amounts of showers as we head through the rest of the afternoon. some of the showers wintry, particularly over the tops of the hills, some showers, too, for northern ireland, perhaps for north west england. but elsewhere it is dry, there'll be some more sunny spells around just the cloud amounts increasing towards the south west of england by the end of the day. temperatures more or less now where they should be for this time of year. but still some wintry showers across parts of scotland as we head through tonight. there'll be more cloud spreading

in from the southwest, some clearer spells here and there. temperatures a little higher across most of southern england, but still a touch of frost from northern england northwards. now, as we head through tuesday, this area of low pressure is going to be pushing in from the southwest and that's going to change our weather, dragging in that mild feeling air. but the cloud amounts will increase, the winds are set to pick up south—westerly and there'll be outbreaks of rain, possibly some heavier downpours at times. but really from southern scotland northwards, we are expecting a largely dry day. there'll be some sunshine here, just watch out for a few more wintry showers over the tops of the hills. still colder air hanging on across parts of northern scotland where it's staying quite windy but turning milder towards the south. and these areas of low pressure just set to send more fronts spinning in as we head through wednesday. so wednesday, a windier day, the westerly winds picking up again. there will be more outbreaks of rain just moving across parts of scotland, perhaps turning to snow again where it meets that colder feeling air, a slice of sunshine perhaps across central areas and temperatures starting to rise. bye— bye.
