the first shipment of us military aid to ukraine, approved in recent weeks by president biden, has arrived in kyiv. it follows "frank talks" between russia and the us secretary of state in geneva on friday. moscow has massed one hundred thousand troops on the ukrainian border, but denies it plans to invade. the united states has called for a de—escalation of the conflict in yemen, after at least 70 people were killed when the saudi—led coalition that supports the government carried out an airstrike on a detention centre. the coalition has denied that it targeted the prison. singers, musicians and actors have been praising the achievements of meat loaf, the american rock artist, who's died at the age of 7a. the singer sold hundreds of millions of albums worldwide, with bat out of hell one of the best—selling recordings of all time.
5:31 am
a former metropolitan police counter—terrorism detective has been jailed for three years for secretly filming models during fake photoshoots. neil corbel pleaded guilty to 19 counts of voyeurism, committed in hotel rooms and rented accommodation across the uk. he used cameras in tissue boxes, phone—chargers and in glasses to film women, as anna adams reports. they thought they'd been booked for a modelling assignment but instead, dozens of women were secretly filmed by an off—duty police officer while they were undressing. he called himself harrison and said he was a pilot — but in fact, he was detective inspector neil corbel from the met. he covertly recorded 31 women between 2017—2020, and stored the images on his police laptop. corbel, who has now resigned from the met, admitted to 19 counts of voyeurism. he was sentenced to three years in jail. the judge said his actions had "seriously undermined public trust in the police". he was tracked down by fellow officers after an 18—month investigation.
5:32 am
there is still disbelief when i hear of officers doing things such as this, because it's a betrayal. it damages trust and it damages confidence. it really hurts, because i know how hard i work and i know how hard my officers work, the met works. one of the women — who we're calling jessica — was booked by corbel after he found her photos on the modelling website purpleport. he seemed professional at first. he introduced himself and said how he did photography as a hobby, and how he'd seen my portfolio. there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary about it. but this was no normal photo shoot. corbel had used spy cameras hidden in an alarm clock and a phone charger to secretly record her when she was naked. jessica was eventually called into a police station and told she was one of corbel�*s victims. they showed me a video that he'd recorded of me undressing, and asked me to identify myself. ijust said "yeah, that's me", and asked them to turn it off. i didn't want to watch it with an officer sat opposite me. it raises further questions for the metjust months after another officer,
5:33 am
wayne couzens, was given a whole life sentence for the kidnap, rape and murder of sarah everard. jessica says both cases have changed the way she now views police officers. it makes you not trust the police. people call the police when they're in vulnerable positions and they want someone they can trust. i just think it's shocking. anna adams, bbc news. coming up at 6am, breakfast, but first on bbc news, the travel show. this week on the travel show, tiny spaces in tokyo. fast wide open ones in finnish lapland. fast wide open ones in finnish laland. , . ., ., lapland. the silence around ou, lapland. the silence around you. and — lapland. the silence around you, and generally - lapland. the silence around you, and generallyjust - lapland. the silence around | you, and generallyjust living you, and generally just living a you, and generallyjust living a happier life. you, and generally 'ust living a happier life._ you, and generally 'ust living a happier life. and he trips to look forward _ a happier life. and he trips to look forward to _ a happier life. and he trips to look forward to in _ a happier life. and he trips to look forward to in 2022. - look forward to in 2022. international restrictions will start to ease, restoring the benefits travel brings to the

5:35 am
capsule tower. it is astonishing to look at this building. even though it was built about 50 years ago, it still looks really futuristic. but the netting on the outside is a sign that time is starting to catch up with the nakagin. it is made up of 140 pods which can be detached and replaced. the tower was the first finished example of metabolism. but this year it is scheduled for demolition. this is it? its tiny! hai! where is the kitchen? —— mr myeda owns several capsules. that is small. it still works? yes. is- capsules. that is small. it still works? yes. is there| capsules. that is small. it. still works? yes. is there hot

5:41 am
i love the idea of a metabolically designed building, that parts of pods can be removed and recycled. but it is more difficult than it sounds. and while the nakagin capsule tower is destined for demolition, at least the original design concept is living on here in nagano. hello and happy new year to you. from me and probably for

you, it has been another challenging year for travel and 2022 begins with a tangle of international rules that can make any journey international rules that can make anyjourney a gruelling battle. but my hope is that as vaccination makes progress around the world, international restrictions was not to ease and borders will be opened, restoring the benefits that travel brings to the world. so what are most excited about this year? the resurgence of rail in europe. during the coronavirus pandemic, many of us have reassessed our relationship with travel, wanting to limit the impact on the environment and improve the quality of the journey. and, in europe, that means international rail, with new opportunities, such as italian

5:57 am
and scotland, especially in northern scotland. so what's going on? high pressure close by, that is why we are having a lot of dry weather. around it, bringing in a lot of cloud from the atlantic. it does limit the extent and severity of frost as saturday starts. a touch of it in north—east scotland, patchy in wales and england, where we had any clear spells overnight. and a chance for some early mist and fog patches. you can see the extent of the cloud across the uk for saturday. just a few brighter breaks here and there. they are most likely across eastern parts of scotland and england, whereas towards north—west scotland, we are going to see some outbreaks of rain. and it is breezier here, compared with elsewhere, but it is also milder — 11 degrees in stornoway, 10 in belfast and glasgow. temperatures elsewhere a little higher than they were on friday. overnight and into sunday, quite a bit of cloud around, a few breaks in that cloud here and there, where they occur, the chance of seeing
5:58 am
a touch of frost. parts of wales and england in particular. there will be some mist and fog patches developing towards southern areas, where the winds are light, and they could well be slow to clear in a few spots as sunday begins. the high very much here on sunday. there is a weather front edging closer towards north—west scotland as the day goes on. it doesn't look as if we will see much in the way of rain until sunday night. ahead of it, still some patchy rain in north—west scotland. the winds going to pick up here. gales developing in the western isles. a breezier day in northern ireland. light winds elsewhere. again, a lot of cloud around, just a few sunny spells. if anything on sunday, temperatures just come down a little bit. the high pressure still with us into the start of next week.
5:59 am
by mid week, we are going to see a developing weather system heading our way. here it is, and mainly through wednesday night, we will see an area of rain moving its way southwards, weakening as it does so. and behind that, high pressure building back in again but for a time later in the week, there will be some brighter skies around. that's your weather.
