There was a version on Radio 1 at 7am this morning, read by Scott Mills. Was really appropriate for the target audience.

The radio versions have been made available by RadioCentre for all commercial, BBC and community stations to use. There are 3 variations in 30", 20" and 10" edits.

I wouldn't be surprised if that would happen in Russia, considering that Roskomnadzor has ordered to shut down TV Rain (Дождь) and the radio station Echo of Moscow (Э́хо Москвы́) to shut down immediately, effectively censoring any coverage that are not Kremlin-approved.

The end of the channel, in the last moments they play a ballet video which apparently according to Reddit is the same tune played when the USSR collapsed.

The theme is swan lake, info also found on reddit.

Do people in Russia find ways to access the BBC, even before the tightening of information by the Kremlin?

MSNBC is also reporting about the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant, while NBC News Now is simulcasting Sky News International.

people who live in Ukraine & who are currently fleeing the country at the moment to go into other parts of Europe.

I do wonder though if the processing of the coolant at the plant had been interuptted at all. That development would cause a major humanitarian disaster for people who live in a large part of Ukraine and possibly for other parts of Europe particularly for all of the news broadcasters & print journalists who are based out there at the moment.

BBC Russian Service is only made available online by the BBC and Russian ISPs have either blocked it or severely reduced the speed for any video and audio content long ago.
It’s been more or less unusable for most for a while.

BBC World is not carried by Russian TV providers (some do/did carry international BBC entertainment channels).

In Russia it is illegal to use a VPN service (prison sentence) unless the VPN provider applies the same restrictions the Russian ISPs apply, so in effect rendering a VPN useless.
