Can I just ask you about the view of the Ukrainian public? The opinion polls suggest that more and more want a negotiated end to the war as soon as possible. How long do you have? How long do you think you can continue this war without losing the public support? Russia is not offering anything. It's just offering more war, more violence, and there is only one option to go to the end.

Meanwhile the UN General Assembly has passed a resolution in support of Ukrainian sovereignty. The resolution has called for a full ceasefire and lasting peace. The US was among 51 countries to abstain with the conflict now into its fifth year. Our international editor Jeremy Bowen has this assessment.

Next, the authorities in Thailand are investigating the deaths of dozens of tigers at a popular tourist attraction. At least 72 captive animals died this month after being infected with a virus at a specialist tiger park in the northern city of Chiang Mai. Thailand has several such parks where tourists pay to take photos and have contact with the big cats. But conservationists have long criticized the zoos as unsuitable, as Jonathan Head reports from Bangkok.

Oficials from the Department of Agriculture say the outbreak is now under control, but it is bound to prompt more calls to shut the tiger parks down completely. Most of them hold Bengal tigers, which breed well in captivity, but Thailand also has a small, though endangered, wild population of Indo-Chinese tigers in its forests.

From today almost all visitors to the UK will need to apply for an ETA. That's an electronic travel authorization before they can enter this country. It costs about 21 US dollars and follows similar schemes already in place in the US and Australia.

The European Union will also bring in its own compulsory visa later in the year. And the UK government says it prevents those who are a threat from getting into the country. But as Rick Kelsey reports, some travel groups say it's an unnecessary burden on tourists.

I'm coming through airport passport security, a biometric scan and I'm through. From now on people from outside the UK coming through these gates will need to have a UK ETA, an electronic travel authorization. You'll need to apply three days before to guarantee you'll get it on time.

There's also the problem of fraud and businesses making large profits off the new arrangements. Almost all the visas ask that people book directly from the government or official site of the country that you're visiting. But this does not stop companies charging sometimes hundreds of dollars for doing it for them, even masking as official partners, which is what happened to Jasmine Gallant from New Brunswick in Canada.

Estafraud is frequent enough that U.S. Customs and Borders Protection regularly warns travelers about these type of scams. Julia Lobuside is from the Advantage Travel Partnership, a global group of independent travel businesses. This is all about anyone that doesn't need a visa to travel to a country. How do we know?

As the West begins to return some stolen artifacts to the countries they were taken from in colonial times, the British Royal Artillery has come under fire for denying all public access to looted Ashanti treasure. A golden ram's head, pillaged from what is now Ghana, remains hidden in an officer's mess.

The British Army says access to military locations is controlled for security, operational and safety reasons. But Barnaby Phillips, one of the expert authors, denied access, told us the artefact should at least be loaned to museums. This is an extraordinary golden ram's head, some 20 centimetres across, and it weighs I think 1.2 kilos. It's perhaps the single most striking piece.

They were able to take it back to the royal artillery officers' mess. The royal artillery decided it needed to be better protected. They put it in a glass dome and then they put a stand underneath it. That stand is comprised of the figures of three West African boys, so described, naked except for loincloths. From the point of view of the 21st century, it is in shockingly bad taste.

I should say I'm not alone in my frustrations. I know even museum curators who struggle to see these objects. They are very closely kept by the Royal Artillery and only they and their invited guests can go into the mess and see them. In fact, I spoke to one curator, director of a national museum here in Britain. I should say he's a fairly temperamentally conservative man. He did manage to go and see these objects. He said, when you see these things,
