Vladimir Putin has said that “unfriendly” foreign countries must start paying for Russian gas in roubles, or it will cut supplies.

The Russian president signed a decree demanding buyers “must open rouble accounts in Russian banks” from Friday 1 April.

The move is an attempt to boost the country's currency, which has been hit by sanctions from the West following the invasion of Ukraine.

Germany - Russia's largest EU customer - said it would not be blackmailed, while France said it was planning to cut Russian gas deliveries.

The Prince of Wales says he understands why campaigners from organisations like Extinction Rebellion take to the streets to demand action on climate change.

But, Prince Charles said actions like blocking roads "isn't helpful".

Speaking in the gardens of his house  on the Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire, the prince said it had taken too long for the world to wake up to the risks of climate change.

He said he worried world leaders could "just talk" when they meet in Glasgow in November for a crucial UN climate conference. 

Challenged about his own efforts to reduce his carbon footprint, Prince Charles said he had converted his favourite vehicle, an Aston Martin he has owned for 51 years, to run on what he described as "surplus English white wine and whey from the cheese process".

According to one estimate, as many as 200,000 Russians have left their country since the start of the war.

Over 25,000 of those have arrived in Georgia. Some of those who have left Russia are activists who fear repercussions for protesting against the war in Ukraine. These activists continue to work from their new base in Georgia.

While many have welcomed the Russians leaving their homes some Georgians worry that Russia already has too much influence in their country and fear that a large influx of Russians could increase that influence.

Meanwhile new quarantine rules for passengers entering the UK are coming into force. Three airlines have begun a legal challenge to the restrictions, which will require most people arriving in the UK to self-isolate for 14 days.

Medical staff on the front line of the battle against mpox in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have told the BBC they are desperate for vaccines to arrive so they can stem the rate of new infections.

At a treatment centre in South Kivu province that the BBC visited in the epicentre of the outbreak, they say more patients are arriving every day - especially babies - and there is a shortage of essential equipment.

Mpox - formerly known as monkeypox - is a highly contagious disease and has killed at least 635 people in DR Congo this year.

Even though 200,000 vaccines, donated by the European Commission, were flown into the capital, Kinshasa, last week, they are yet to be transported across this vast country - and it could be several weeks before they reach South Kivu.

The first medicine that’s been proven to reduce deaths among people infected with coronavirus is expected to save thousands of lives.

Dexamethasone is a cheap steroid drug that has been in use for 60 years. A team at Oxford University has demonstrated that it significantly reduces deaths among people with Covid-19 who are on oxygen or on a ventilator.

The researchers looked at around 6,000 patients across the UK who were seriously ill and on a ventilator or requiring oxygen. The drug was found to cut the risk of death by a third for patients on ventilators and a fifth for those requiring oxygen.

The government's chief scientific adviser says it's a ground-breaking development and the drug is to be given immediately to all Covid-19 patients who could benefit from it.

There is turmoil at the heart of the UK government with the resignation of four of Boris Johnson’s most senior aides.

Director of communications Jack Doyle confirmed his exit shortly after the departure of policy head Munira Mirza. They were followed by the chief of staff Dan Rosenfield and senior civil servant Martin Reynolds.

The resignations come as Mr Johnson faces increasing questions over his leadership from within his party.

Ms Mirza quit over the Prime Minister’s false claim in Parliament that Sir Keir Starmer, when he was director of public prosecutions, had been responsible for failing to prosecute the paedophile Jimmy Savile .

The Chancellor Rishi Sunak has also publicly distanced himself from Boris Johnson’s claim.

Ukraine has "likely won the battle of Kharkiv", according to think-tank the Institute for the Study of War.

Military analysts say Russia was prevented from encircling Ukraine's second city - and has now given up on attempts to do so.

Since the start of the invasion, capturing it has been a key strategic aim of Russian forces.

"There was no shelling in the city for the last five days," the mayor of Kharkiv, Ihor Terekhov, told the BBC.

"Now it is calm in Kharkiv and people are gradually coming back to the city."

The large hadron collider, the world's most advanced particle accelerator, has undergone a major revamp which scientists say could spark a physics revolution.

The vast machine, deep underground in the Swiss Alps, smashes atoms together to break them apart and discover what is inside them.

Since the upgrade, its instruments are more sensitive, allowing researchers to study the collision of particles from the inside of atoms in higher definition.

It means there's now the best chance ever of the machine finding subatomic particles that are completely new to science.

The hope is that it will make discoveries that will spark the biggest revolution in physics in a hundred years.

Russia has for weeks been massing troops and tanks on the Ukrainian border. Ukraine has said it fears an invasion and along with Poland and Lithuania is calling for more western sanctions against Russia.

A joint statement by the countries accuses Russia of aggression and urges NATO to take action.

Russia denies that it is preparing an invasion and in turn accuses the West of threatening Russia’s security through NATO expansion.

The UK parliament will stay open – despite a health minister testing positive for coronavirus, and a further two ministers deciding to self-isolate. The Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the government would continue to work closely with the House of Parliament authorities to monitor the situation. He said that the peak of the UK outbreak was expected "in a matter of a couple of months". The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the UK has now reached 460, after the biggest rise in a single day. It comes as two more people with the virus died in the UK, bringing the total to eight.

Italy has announced tighter restrictions on people moving around, that will come into force on Thursday morning. All stores, except for pharmacies and food shops, will be shut in a desperate bid to halt the spread of the coronavirus that has killed 827 in the country in just over two weeks. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced the latest wave of restrictions in a TV address to the 60 million Italian residents already under ‘stay-at-home’ restrictions.

Stranded Nasa astronauts Barry 'Butch' Wilmore and Sunita Williams say they feel "grateful" to spend more time in space, despite difficulties.

The two gave a news conference about their experience of being stuck on the International Space Station for months.

The two Americans, who arrived on the ISS in June, have been unable to get home because of a problem with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft. The Starliner returned to Earth earlier this month 'uncrewed' - or with no humans on board - after the journey was deemed too risky for astronauts.

Nasa says Wilmore and Williams will be brought back to Earth on a SpaceX Dragon craft next year.

Donald Trump was left looking angry and frustrated in his crucial TV debate with Kamala Harris in Philadelphia.

In a fiery 90 minutes that could help decide the presidential race, Harris frequently rattled the former president with personal attacks that threw him off message and raised the temperature of this highly-anticipated contest.

Her jibes on the size of his rally crowds, his conduct during the Capitol riot, and on the officials who served in his administration who have since become outspoken critics of his campaign repeatedly left Trump on the back foot.

The pattern for much of this debate was Harris goading her Republican rival into making extended defences of his past conduct and comments. He gladly obliged, raising his voice at times and shaking his head.

Both candidates made untrue statements but most came from Trump. He faced mockery for claiming that immigrants in Ohio were eating the cats and dogs of their neighbours.

Transgender women should compete in an "open category" in order to "protect women's sport", two current elite female runners tell the BBC.

The British athletes, one of whom is an Olympian, believe athletes should only be allowed to compete in the category of their biological sex.

As governing bodies struggle to find a way forward, trans athletes have faced criticism for competing at high levels in sport - even though they’ve met competition standards set by the discipline.

Is there an unfair advantage? Should transgender women be banned from competing in female categories? Should there be a separate category established? Or should sport be more inclusive?

BBC Sports Editor Dan Roan has been investigating the issue following several high profile recent cases that led to controversy and division.

In a confession he wrote for Wendy he singled out the high-stakes, high-frequency fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) found in bookmakers across the UK. These machines offer gamblers a choice of games, and combine potentially high stakes with the chance of a win every 20 seconds.

The world's first fully working "sand battery", which can store green power for months at a time, has been installed by Finnish researchers.

The developers said this could solve the problem of year-round supply, a major issue for green energy.

Using low-grade sand, the device is charged up with heat made from cheap electricity from solar or wind.

The sand stores the heat at around 500C, which can then warm homes in winter when energy is more expensive.

The legislation will impose and enforce a minimum age to use social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram by the end of the year.

Although the exact age has yet to be revealed by the government, it is likely to be between 14 and 16 with the Australian prime minister favouring the upper level in that age range.

Describing social media usage amongst children as a "scourge", Prime Minister Antony Alabanese said he wanted them to have "real experiences with real people".

A massive landslide in a Greenland fjord triggered a wave that “shook the Earth” for nine days.

The seismic signal last September was picked up by sensors all over the world, leading scientists to investigate where it had come from.

The landslide - a mountainside of rock that collapsed and carried glacial ice with it - triggered a 200m wave.

That wave was then “trapped” in the narrow fjord - moving back and forth for nine days, generating the vibrations.

Landslides like this, scientists say, are happening more frequently with climate change - as the glaciers that support Greenland's mountains melt.
