yeah, it s really interesting that it comes at this point. there s been a lot of pressure on the uk government to kind of move forward, even with their economic crime bill. some people felt too slow in getting dirty money at times out of london. i should just mention with crimea as well, that was annexed by russia and, of course, they ve really been part of the conflict in eastern ukraine since that time, so for people in that part of the country, they ve kind of been going through this or kind of on high alert for a very long time. but with sanctions like this, will they be able to introduce them immediately? because you talk about that being the issue with crimea, that it was a little too late. so the law is in place now. i mean, the problem in the past was obviously the uk was still part of the eu and the eu at that time had to get 28 member states to agree what to do. now the uk is ready, so the uk could issue these sanctions sort of whenever it wants to. and in a way, this is the
like they were yesterday. and i saw them moving and i shouted to my husband, look at the trees! and i walked back into the kitchen, and by the time i got in the kitchen, he said, they re going, they re going, it s gone! it was the needles on the isle of wight where a gust of 122 mph was recorded yesterday as the storm moved across the country. numerous trees were uprooted. and vehicles were blown over on the roads. passengers at preston station were typical of those trying to travel today. it was absolutely awful, carnage. cos we got on at the first stop, we got a seat and everything, but it was standing for a lot of people all the way down. people lost their livesl in these winds and cos we were stood upon a train, - we were just grateful to get home. wales was badly hit by the storm too. in newport, today was about assessing damage and making things safe for the time being. the weather was still causing issues in some areas.
but as we go through the morning on monday, the winds should start to ease and so too should some of those showers. so into the afternoon, we ll see more in the way of sunshine coming through, so despite the wind direction swinging around to a north westerly, with a little bit more sunshine coming through now and we re in the middle of february, temperatures will still hold up into double figures for many. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, it s a similar weather story really. low pressure sits up into the north. plenty of isobars on the charts, still unfortunately wet and windy at times. and you can see that on the outlook tuesday into wednesday. wednesday, a bit of a respite across england and wales, with a little more sunshine to look out for.
at munich, the president of ukraine, he says the lack of writing it down now makes putin believe it s not going to happen later. and if you really believe an invasion is anytime soon now, well, why wouldn t you tell putin and ukraine what s going to come putin s way and the help coming ukraine s way? we made a mistake here. so i can t rectify that mistake in the next 48 hours, but i do believe that republicans and democrats are coming away from this conference with a determination to crush the ruble, to shut down nord stream 2, and to punish the oil and gas sector. the president of ukraine made a great point in 1994 after the fall of the soviet union, ukraine had the third largest nuclear weapons inventory in the world. they gave up all their nukes with a promise by russia, the united states and,
to maintain their significant advantage at the top. of the night for tottenham, won it for them, when it looked as though the win had slipped away after riyad mahrez equalised from the penalty spot minutes earlier. it s just city s third defeat of the season, as tottenham reignite their push for a top fourfinish. 0bviously, with the line up, that would have been the ultimate game, but we are playing against one of the best teams in the world and i thought everyone from hugo all the way through work so hard for the team. we did have a game plan and executed it really well and in football, things can happen. considering the last minute penalty, it was tough to take but to get the goal at the end was really second placed liverpool the greatest beneficiaries, moving to within six points of city after they beat norwich 3 1. mohamed salah scored his
