hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. swedish troops are taking part in a significant nato exercise — aimed at defending the alliance�*s eastern flank. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's here is. premier league clubs have rejected a proposalfor a £900 million settlement for the football league, following a shareholders meeting on monday. a new deal might be now be imposed on them by the uk government. premier league sides also agreed to prioritise changes to the rules around profit and sustainability which could see clubs allowed to spend approximately 85% of their turnover on costs like transfer fees and wages. one game in the premier league to update you on,

which is under way — newcastle can move back into the european places, if they can get a result at chelsea at stamford bridge... it's the home side that's 1—0 up in the first half. nicholas jackson with the goal. chelsea are winless in two league games.. a blow for manchester city — goalkeeper ederson is set to miss up to four weeks, after suffering a muscle injury in the premier league draw with liverpool yesterday. ederson was hurt after kicking reds striker darwin nunez — conceding the penalty where liverpool scored their equaliser, in the 1—1 draw at anfield. he had treatment at the time, but was later replaced by stefan ortega... city have told the brazilian fa he won't be fit for international duty later this month. it was a good weekend for arsenal, their win over brentford saw them move to the top of the premier league and they stayed there, after liverpool and manchester city's draw at anfield. the gunners�* attention now turns to the champions league where they have to beat porto tomorrow night to reach the quarterfinals , they trail 1—0 after the first leg in portugal

for 96 minutes bring your energy, bring your noise and let's do it together. the impact they can make tomorrow, it's incredible, i don't think that they realise. we need that noise, we need them to play with us and we need that emotional control as well. to understand that game can go through certain phases that we have to be really intelligent to push in the right moments to get what we want. it's been 1a years. everything that we put in there is going to be worth it. one more football story for you and in italy, lecce have sacked manager roberto d'aversa after he headbutted verona striker thomas henry following a serie a match between the two sides on sunday. speaking after the game, the lecce boss admitted his actions were "inexcusable". his side lost by a 1—0 and d'aversa was pictured walking across the pitch at full time, to confront henry. the club annouced their decision early on monday. the defeat means lecce drop to 15th

in italy's top flight, two places below verona. the commonwealth games federation has said it's in advanced discussions over a potential new host after malaysia claimed to have been offered £100 million to help the country put on the 2026 games. they last hosted the event in 1998. the australian state of victoria pulled out of hosting the games in two years�* time due to costs. the cheltenham festival starts tomorrow with one man set to dominate at the four—day meeting. irish trainer willie mullins has the favourite in many of the 28 races, and needs just six victories to become the first person to have 100 festival winners. he has last year's runner—up �*state man�* in tomorrow's champion hurdle... with last year's winner constitution hill absent. constitution hill is trained by nicky henderson and despite missing his star horse, 73—year—old henderson still has high hopes for the coming week he couldn't possibly even think about doing it without having a great bunch of guys, and the owners,

and there are good mates. we have a lot of fun. but they kindly send us these horses, we have a lot of good horses at the moment, are they going to give up when they're like this? you couldn't. i enjoyed it, and there's nothing as i can do, so keep going. and that's all the sport for now. the swedish flag has been raised at nato headquarters for the first time today. in a rain soaked ceremony in brussels, attended by sweden's crown princess victoria, sweden officially ended its long time neutrality, becoming the 32nd member of the alliance. and at the same time out in the remote, snow covered arctic circle, swedish armed forces were taking part in the largest nato military exercise since the end of the cold war. there will be 90,000 troops and personnel involved over 50 naval

assets. over 80 different air platforms. and over 1000 combat vehicles. its codenamed steadfast defender it is a test of nato�*s new defence plans, following russia's invasion of ukraine. joining me now is mikey kay who is a former raf assault helicopter pilot and military strategist. you've probably done many of these over the years what did they use them for and the house to their work? are you given a scenario, is there full dress rehearsal? i work? are you given a scenario, is there full dress rehearsal?- there full dress rehearsal? i think dress rehearsal _ there full dress rehearsal? i think dress rehearsal is _ there full dress rehearsal? i think dress rehearsal is probably - there full dress rehearsal? i think dress rehearsal is probably not i there full dress rehearsal? i think| dress rehearsal is probably not the term would reuse but 90,000 is a significant. i used to operate on a strong resolve, which was in norway, which is well inside the arctic circle. we did it during january and february, and that was part of allied command europe's mobile

force. but that was only a brigade size capability among about 5000 personnel. now we are talking about 90,000 personnel. so that is huge across the range of maritime, land and air. if we bring up a map, i think we have hundreds to go. of the nordics, when you look at the map, it really does focus and why it for and then and sweden havejoined nato. at the very top there, norway, which comes all the way around the top of sweden, has about a 202 military border with russia, and then as you come down, you can see then as you come down, you can see the significant exposure that defendant has, about a 1300 km border, roughly 830 miles. fitness capital, helsinki, it's about 185 km away from the southerly russian

border as you check east of the gulf of finland. so when it comes to white sweden and finland are doing this, and when it comes to why nato are putting 90,000 personnel across maritime land and air, i think this really does serve as a good indication to the seriously it nato are taking this.— indication to the seriously it nato are taking this. when the bbc goes on outside broca's _ are taking this. when the bbc goes on outside broca's and _ are taking this. when the bbc goes on outside broca's and puts - are taking this. when the bbc goes on outside broca's and puts teams| on outside broca's and puts teams together from various parts of the country, it's a disaster, there is a coordination problem, communications problem, we are not treated like you were about but it is that what it is basically about? ensuring that everybody is able to speak to one another and knows what everyone as is doing westmark kneel on the head. i think communication is one of the biggest problems. nail on the head. when you work in a month a national basis. when you come to work with

other countries, you are not sure what equipment they will be using. the interesting bit is when it comes to communications through secret means stop and that is when the crypto is our our different, you need crypto to put into a secret radio, for example, and everyone needs to be on the same frequencies and use the same crypto, and communication is huge. believe it or not, even in today's world of iphones and the tech that we see at the moment, communication is massive and it can be lost, it is the key to winning in a lot of circumstances. then there are standard operating procedures, so if you have finish planes and british fighterjets and norwegians, all looking to operate from the same airstrip, they have to be running off the same standard operating procedures, otherwise you get accidents. the scene for that maritime component, and then you

have the land as well. something i want to draw in as well, the way that fenland's forces are actually set up, they are in a conscript model, so basically their regular army is about 22,000, the uk's for example is about 40,000 regulars with 40,000 reserves, finnan has 22,000 regular but through its conscription model, it is basically trained over 260,000 reserves that can be mobilised fully into a field army of 280,000, and when people are talking about what significant capability does finland have for example that brings the nato, in terms of that conventional capacity, it has one of the most capable artillery units, with 1500 deployment systems as well. find deployment systems as well. and exerts in deployment systems as well. and exnerts in cold — deployment systems as well. and experts in cold fighting, that's a unique expertise they bring, presumably. unique expertise they bring,

tower they have. what need to know no, that he didn't know two years i no, that he didn't know two years ago, was how vulnerable russia and russian forces are, notjust ago, was how vulnerable russia and russian forces are, not just for ago, was how vulnerable russia and russian forces are, notjust for me training capacity perspective, but also just from the state of their equipment, their ability to logistically reply, we have seen a massive holes in russia's ability. the attack on kyiv for example, that failed miserably all because russian forces were very vulnerable in these areas. now, two years on, morata, reportedly, is through the floor when it comes to russian fighting capability. the fact that nato are not going to train up 90,000 personnel across all of the maritime and air and personnel across all of the maritime and airand land personnel across all of the maritime and air and land spectrums, and we are notjust talking about —— finland is getting the f 35jet which will replace its always 1's, the us and uk will be there with new capability, and what nato is showing is not only have they got the latest

tech, they are also going to make sure they can enter operate with all their strategic nato partners and mobilise rapidly. we russia has performed against ukraine, that will focus preteens mind.— focus preteens mind. quickly, as it sianal that focus preteens mind. quickly, as it signal that we _ focus preteens mind. quickly, as it signal that we are _ focus preteens mind. quickly, as it signal that we are now _ focus preteens mind. quickly, as it signal that we are now on - focus preteens mind. quickly, as it signal that we are now on a - focus preteens mind. quickly, as it signal that we are now on a war - signal that we are now on a war footing? i signal that we are now on a war footin: ? ., �* ~' signal that we are now on a war footin: ? ., �* ~ ., ., ., footing? i don't think nato will go as far as that. _ footing? i don't think nato will go as far as that. they _ footing? i don't think nato will go as far as that. they will _ footing? i don't think nato will go as far as that. they will be - footing? i don't think nato will go as far as that. they will be saying | as far as that. they will be saying that this is purely a training exercise. and if you think, something like this hasn't occurred in a long time, i spoke about the forces i worked with, that was in 2000, and it was launched in 1960 and ended in 2002 because the brits had to make a decision on contributing to that verse is contributing to that verse is contributing to that verse is contributing to what was going on in iraq and afghanistan, so that finished in 2002. so the ability to operate at this site in these types

of conditions, which have not been operated in regularly for a time because the threat was not considered there but on the afghanistan and iraq side month so it's great timing now for nato, for them to readjust and have a look at what the threats are, which aren't coming from the middle east but from russia, now we have to train for that. it takes time emma yes they will do it on this year, but they have to do it regularly over the next few years to make sure they get up next few years to make sure they get up to speed rapidly. next few years to make sure they get up to speed rapidly-— up to speed rapidly. lovely to speak to ou, up to speed rapidly. lovely to speak to you. mikey _ up to speed rapidly. lovely to speak to you. mikey kay. _ up to speed rapidly. lovely to speak to you, mikey kay, thank— up to speed rapidly. lovely to speak to you, mikey kay, thank you - to you, mikey kay, thank you for coming on the programme. the us secretary of state antony blinken has travelled to jamaica to hold crisis talks on the situation in haiti. mr blinken is attending a closed—door meeting organised by members of the regional trade bloc caribbean community. the eu and the us airlifted their diplomatic staff from the island nation amid the spiralling gang violence and a large scale jail breaks. there are warnings that more than a million people could be facing famine in the capital port au

prince where armed groups are fighting in the streets for political control. will grant's report contains some distressing images. gunfire. haiti is in freefall towards total anarchy. the past few days have seen a relentless escalation of violence as gangs roam the streets, firing on police and attacking government buildings with molotov cocktails. the situation was already at breaking point. gangs rained bullets on the international airport, forcing it to shut to all flights, including one bringing the country's prime minister, ariel henry, back from a trip to kenya. turned away, he remains stuck in puerto rico, unable to return to the nation he leads. in his absence, gangs now control more than 80% of the capital, police stations a particluar target. the country's main gang leaderjimmy "barbecue" cherizier says he is prepared to take the country to civil war unless mr henry resigns.

some who did manage to get in were us military personnel who airlifted nonessential embassy staff to safety. but 11 million haitians don't have that luxury. the situation in the general hospital in port au prince is especially dire. a dead body lies next to patients waiting in vain for treatment, rapidly decomposing in the caribbean heat. except for the patients the hospital has abandoned. "there are no doctors, they all fled last week," said this patient. "we hear the explosions and gunfire outside but we must have courage and stay here." others have no choice but to take their chances amid the violence. translation: i've got three kids, | i'm their mother and their father. | gunmen came here and stole all our money. but when you have three mouths to feed, what can you do? translation: the anxiety is killing me, what if i get shot dead? -

who will take care of my children then? regional leaders and the us secretary of state have met injamaica for an emergency summit as, on this evidence, haiti is now perilously close to becoming a failed state. will grant, bbc news. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories_ bbc news, bringing you different stories from _ bbc news, bringing you different stories from across _ bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the _ bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. - bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. james be . an stories from across the uk. james began dairy _ stories from across the uk. james began dairy farming _ stories from across the uk. james began dairy farming last - stories from across the uk. james began dairy farming last year, - stories from across the uk. james began dairy farming last year, he | began dairy farming last year, he currently has 106 milking cows plus these heifers and caps, and so far it's going well. it these heifers and caps, and so far it's going well-— it's going well. it was daunted initially but — it's going well. it was daunted initially but now _ it's going well. it was daunted initially but now it _ it's going well. it was daunted initially but now it is _ it's going well. it was daunted initially but now it is gone - it's going well. it was daunted i initially but now it is gone really well. enjoying getting up every day and milking and when the cause are out it is even better because that is when they are the happiest. but

this is a huge list of items that the uk's top stats team use every month to work out with prices are going up and down and by how much. it's an important indicator for us to look at it. they look at how many products are bought and it shows the popularity of a lot of different products, and how widely available they are too. when we look at the products that have gone into the basket this year as you say, it's air fryers, basket this year as you say, it's airfryers, which is driven by the energy crisis we have been in for the last three years, lots of people buying air fryers as a cheaper and faster way to cook than sticking on the oven every time you want to do fish fingers. we have seen vinyl hit the list for the first time, lots of artist releasing on vinyl and people like me trying to improve their collections of classics. we seen house items like sun proceeds and pumpkin seeds and gluten—free bread make the list for the first time as

well as that has become available in so many stores. outs of the list are pandemic purchases like baking products that lots of us used and brought during lockdown when we are baking more frequently and hand sanitisers are out as well. another week before we find out the latest inflation figures, and whether these particular products are going up and down. still haven't tried and air fire, i need to get with the programme. every week, the world adds new buildings equivalent to the size of paris. those buildings in operation are currently responsible for around 28% of of our carbon emissions. every week, the world adds new buildings equivalent to the size of paris. responsible for around 37% of of our energy related emissions. it is a huge and vital sector. and yet we are told without major progress, the built environment will be unable to reach the climate goals the un has set for 2030? which stipulates that

all new and refurbished buildings should be net zero in operation. until now there has been very little coordination in how to measure and report whole life carbon plans for buildings. but last week ministers and high level representatives from the world biggest constructors met in paris to work on a common set of practices. nigel tonks is a building decarbonisation expert for arup, which works in 140 different countries. with me now is nigel tonks who is a director at arup — a sustainable development consulting company. was it useful to go and talk about it? it was it useful to go and talk about it? ., , ., ., , ., was it useful to go and talk about it? ., ., ., , ., , ., it? it was an amusing event to be at ground-breaking. _ it? it was an amusing event to be at ground-breaking. the _ it? it was an amusing event to be at ground-breaking. the first - it? it was an amusing event to be at ground-breaking. the first time - it? it was an amusing event to be at| ground-breaking. the first time that ground—breaking. the first time that the whole supply chain involved in buildings, from ministers and governments through stakeholders in the environment, investors and developers and civil society, designers, everybody involved in buildings, gather together to focus on critical action for. the buildings, gather together to focus on critical action for.— on critical action for. the sectors that sort of _ on critical action for. the sectors that sort of hog _ on critical action for. the sectors that sort of hog to _ on critical action for. the sectors that sort of hog to headlines, . that sort of hog to headlines, aviation, cars, shipping, industrial pollution, we never really talk about our business environments, do we question mark you are right. it

has been a real challenge? . it has been a real challenge to get the build environment into the public conscious because as you stated it is a significant part of the greenhouse gas emissions. one of the really big challenges is how to —— how disaggregated the ownership and accountability for billings are. everything from investors and landlords and tenants and users of the building and visitors of the building, who takes responsible to and accountability for driving on the carbon emissions on those? i said there that you have to have to know what your are measuring. is there a standardised moment of doing that across all the countries or to different governments and countries have different ways of doing it western mark there is no standard? . there is no standard way of dealing with carbon emissions, we have only been doing it for about ten years emma the tools and methodologies,

everybody is still developing those, different countries and different parts of how you measure carbon in different ways. that is one of the really challenging things. one of the reasons we were in paris was spending the last two gers with an international organisation in 90 countries and we try to develop our own standard way using the best of what is available to measure and record carbon. and we have been able to build up a database of over 1400 assets, which, this is really critical, you cannot manage what you do not measure. we have some really significant targets to drive down carbon, but probably less than estimated, less than 1% of all buildings in the world have any whole life carbon assessment attached to them.— whole life carbon assessment attached to them. you are at the high-end- _ attached to them. you are at the high-end. your— attached to them. you are at the high-end. your company - attached to them. you are at the high-end. your company has - attached to them. you are at the l high-end. your company has been high—end. your company has been doing it for many years, meet some extraordinary buildings and infrastructure around the world over

the years but what about the lower and of the construction industry? those guys throwing up office buildings at housing around the world, are they going to spend, they are on tight margins, can you do this easily if you are not a big world company like aruop? it is uuite world company like aruop? it is quite simple — world company like aruop? it is quite simple to _ world company like aruop? it 3 quite simple to do the compilations, but to the state time and resources and energy and i think there are a few things needed. one is to simplify and automate the process of gathering the data. that would really reduce costs and make it so much more accessible to everyone. so when you put a pending on petitioning, there should be a net zero target for the building that is also put into the council or local government at that time, is that what you're saying? we government at that time, is that what you're saying?— what you're saying? we need to reuulate. what you're saying? we need to regulate- the — what you're saying? we need to regulate. the development - what you're saying? we need to regulate. the development of. regulate. the development of policies and relations are the world are really in a low state of

building have its own energy future? can you meet them in such a way that they are green in the way they generate their energy? you can. reduce the _ generate their energy? you can. reduce the operational- generate their energy? you can. i reduce the operational operational energy of billings and you can have onside renewable energy and its firm —— form of solar panels about what most billings, refurbished billings, 80% of what would be built in 2050 we have a massive drop to refurbish those you and we have substantial uptick in off—site renewables. more uptick in off-site renewables. more ste -s and uptick in off-site renewables. more steps and paris _ uptick in off-site renewables. more steps and paris this _ uptick in off-site renewables. more steps and paris this last _ uptick in off—site renewables. more steps and paris this last week but really important and if usually important sector that governments will have to look at. thank you for coming onto the programme, nigel. we will be back after the short break, our panel would be with us, tonight will be talking about the anderson.

hello. it's been a grey and drab day for many — lots of cloud overhead, some mist and murk, spots of drizzle, quite a chilly feel for some as well. it is set to turn milder over the next few days as south—westerly winds develop. with that, there will be spells of rain, but some sunny spells now, through this week, i can't promise we'll lose all the cloud — in fact, there'll still be some rain at times, but it is going to start to feel milder. on the earlier satellite picture, though, you can see the extent of the cloud, that cloud producing some rain and drizzle in places. a few brighter glimpses, particularly across parts of south—west england and wales, one or two brighter spells elsewhere. conversely, some slightly more persistent rain pushing across the western side of scotland. exposed to the breeze in north—east scotland, temperatures only 5, 6 or 7 degrees, the highest values further south up to around 12. this evening and tonight, we will keep a lot of cloud, some mist and murk in places, a few clear spells, but some outbreaks of rain

swinging in from the west across northern ireland into wales, the south—west of england, perhaps getting into south—west scotland and north—west england, too, by the end of the night. if you do see clear skies for any length of time, it mayjust turn a little bit chilly to start tuesday morning, but you can see this frontal system working in from the west, in fact various pulses of moisture, pulses of rain running along this frontal system. here's the first one, pushing its way eastwards as we go through the day on tuesday, pretty wet across a good part of england and wales, some of that rain getting into scotland, as well. perhaps a little bit drier and brighterfor a time in northern ireland, and i think north of scotland will also see some sunshine at times. generally quite a cloudy day, but starting to feel milder — 13 in cardiff, 14 degrees in belfast. through tuesday night and into wednesday, these various frontal systems continue to wriggle through. this frontal system here, this cold fronts, will be pushing a little bit further southwards on wednesday, outbreaks of rain with that. to the north of it, some sunshine, will be quite windy in the far north, with some scattered showers. to the south of our weather front, a lot of cloud, and here, it will feel very mild indeed — 15, maybe 16 degrees if you do get a little bit of brightness.

as we move towards the end of the week, we will see mild air surging northwards. temperatures may peak around thursday, with values up to 16, possibly 17 degrees in parts of eastern england. it does stay pretty mild as we head towards the weekend, but there will be a fair amount of cloud and some rain at times.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. unfortunately, the conservative party and the labour party won't fight back. this party will fight back. lee is someone who i have worked with. i like him personally. i think he has made a real mistake. lee anderson had already set off on something of a politicaljourney. he was in the middle of a storm of his own making and seeking a port, and reform uk have offered him that. our panel tonight — the uk editor of politico, jack blanchard. and hilary rosen, a democratic strategist. before we get to our panel, let me bring you the latest bbc news.
