Patriots, or Neo-Nazis? To Ukraine, the ragtag group of volunteer fighters that make up the Azov Battalion is one of Ukraine’s toughest fighting forces, and it has been protecting the nation’s borders in the East for close to a decade.

To Russian President Vladimir Putin, their far-right politics and extremist insignia are justification for the claim that Ukraine needs to be de-Nazified.

On the day of the alleged Downing Street Christmas party, Jackie’s mum was one of 489 people who lost their lives to Covid. Government restrictions meant Jackie couldn’t be by her mum’s side. Meanwhile, the rest of the UK endured strict restrictions that meant they had a far from normal Christmas.

Filthy troops fighting in freezing mud. This is what life is like for a Ukrainian soldier fighting in Donetsk.

It’s cold, claustrophobic, and terrifying. From below ground level, all these soldiers see is mud and a shattered battlefield. The scenes here resemble the horrors of the First World War, more than a century ago. But, war-time technology has moved on since then. While trenches provide reliable protection from machine guns and sniper fire, they’re no match for the drones which roam the sky.

Jeremy Hunt and Nadhim Zahawi have been knocked out of the contest for the next leader of the Conservative party after they failed to secure 30 supporters in Wednesday’s first round of voting among Tory MPs. Here are the remaining six candidates, and how they're performing so far.

An email proves that Downing Street staff held a party at the height of lockdown. The email was sent by one of Boris Johnson’s top officials Martin Reynolds, and it invited over 100 No. 10 employees to a party.

“Firstly, I want to say sorry.” UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has apologised to MPs for after a watered down version of Sue Gray's partygate report was published.

The document, described by the senior civil servant as an ‘update’ rather than a fully-fledged report, revealed serious failings in No. 10.

Sue Gray's partygate report spoke of a “serious failure” to observe Covid standards and said several gatherings should not have taken place. The civil servant added that the Downing Street garden was “used for gatherings” and “this was not appropriate”.

Alongside issuing an apology, Johnson said he would “learn from these events and act now" by implementing changes to improve the running of government.

Finland occupies a precarious position on the edge of Europe. Bordered by Putin’s Russia to the east and EU member-state Sweden to the West, the Nordic country has long resisted calls to pick a side. But as war rages in Ukraine - another Russian neighbour that dared to defy Putin - the President and Prime Minister of Finland have said the Nordic country should apply to join NATO, without delay.

Explainer: Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has released this new CCTV footage, allegedly showing the moment a Russian missile struck the Amstor shopping centre in Kremenchuk.

Does this, and other CCTV footage which has emerged since the attack, prove that Putin deliberately targeted civilians?

Report by Sophie Braybrook.

Boris Johnson is resorting to desperate tactics in his battle to stay in Downing Street. But it’s those in his own party who have the power to oust the Prime Minister.

It was Christian Wakeford who first publicly withdrew his support from the Prime Minister in a dramatic moment when he crossed the house and defected to Labour.

And since then several more Tory MPs have publicly turned on Johnson too. Three submitted calls for a vote of no confidence on Wednesday.

Several more have called for Johnson to go. But have not formally declared that they’ve written letters.

Conservative MPs’ backs are up over the mountain of emails from exasperated constituents who are furious about the Prime Minister’s actions. And they’ve grown tired of apologising on his behalf. Their leader shows no sign of resigning.

But he’ll face another moment of reckoning when the Met Police concludes its investigation.

This video features footage shown on Russian state television - it’s how ordinary Russians are seeing the battle for Mariupol play out. The Russian Defence Ministry footage shows an abundance of military vehicles bearing the letter ‘Z’; heroic-looking soldiers charging into battle, and civilians unfazed by the presence of patrolling Russian soldiers.

This footage, broadcast to millions across Russia, is in sharp contrast to the horrors Ukrainians face in the port city, where around 100,000 civilians are trapped in the city with little or no food, water, fuel, or medicine.

Kremlin-backed Russian media outlets are facing severe restrictions in Europe and much of the Western world.

But, while European news outlets back Ukraine, countries like China, have allowed the propaganda to spread swiftly throughout the country where citizens are fostering a pro-Putin sentiment.

Given the age of his mother, the Queen, the coronation of King Charles III has been planned in meticulous detail for years, under the codename Operation Golden Orb. Although a date has not been announced, it’s expected that Charles will be crowned next spring or summer - less than a year after he became King Charles.

Apologies have been coming out of Downing Street thick and fast. The latest is to Buckingham Palace for two parties held at Number 10 on the eve of Prince Philip’s funeral. Just hours before the Queen sat alone at her husband’s service, Downing Street staff partied into the night.

Report by Sophie Braybrook, for ITN

A group of the newest Conservative politicians, elected when Johnson surged to power in 2019, are believed to be preparing letters of no confidence. They held a meeting on Tuesday to discuss the issue.

If 54 Tory MPs submit letters, it would trigger a leadership contest. Rumours swirl that the number could be reached soon.

This will be Johnson’s last chance of survival.

Should he lose the vote, he would not be allowed to take part in the subsequent leadership contest.
