BBC One's flagship evening magazine programme, the One Show, has been moved to BBC Two tonight to make way for coverage of the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
This is because BBC News at Six has been extended from its usual 30 minutes to 60. The BBC's regional news programmes, such as Points West here in Bristol, will therefore air at 7pm to make way, meaning the One Show also had to move.
It replaces Yorkshire Firefighters at 7pm on BBC Two. It's not clear when Yorkshire Firefighters will be aired instead.

The Ukraine crisis escalated early this morning when Vladimir Putin ordered more troops into Ukrainian territory. Ukrainian cities have been under attack all day, with footage showing mortar shells seemingly attacking civilians.
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has said his country will defend itself. Western allies, including the US, UK, and EU, have been supplying weapons to Ukrainian forces to aid them in the fight.
Prime minister Boris Johnson and the Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer each addressed the nation on TV today to affirm their commitment to help Ukraine and to provide a united front against Russia. British troops are not, however, expected to fight directly in the conflict.
The rest of tonight's updated BBC Two schedule is as follows:
- 7pm: The One Show
- 7.30pm: Saving Lives at Sea
- 8pm: Great British Menu
- 9pm: We Are Black and British
- 10pm: The Apprentice: You're Fired
- 10.30pm: Newsnight
- 11.35pm: BBC Weather
- 11.30pm: Rise of the Nazis
