Judy Murray: What bravery and kindness we’re seeing. Now let’s do everything we can to help

Marina Ovsyannikova: Russian journalist interrupts a live news bulletin on Russia's state TV "Channel One"

What about the Russian television producer who staged an anti-war protest during a live national broadcast? Last week, Marina Ovsyannikova, a senior journalist at Russia’s state-controlled Channel One, stood behind a newsreader while she was on air, holding aloft a sign that read: “Don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here.”

I did wonder whether she was being incredibly brave or incredibly stupid. In a country like Russia, where the media is so tightly controlled, Ovsyannikova would have known just how risky and dangerous such a move would be, so I’m willing to bet it was bravery – not to mention despair at the devastation spreading across Ukraine.

After reportedly being questioned for 14 hours by police, she was released and given a fine of 30,000 roubles, about £214, which was surprising given how Russia tends to react to protesters and dissidents. Perhaps this is evidence Putin is finally realising the world is united against his horrific actions. Probably not, but it was certainly a PR move nonetheless.

Since the fighting broke out in Ukraine on February 24, the only silver lining has been seeing the countless acts of kindness and support from countries across Europe, including here in Scotland. In Edinburgh, Windsor Street, the home of the Ukrainian consulate, has been unofficially renamed Volodymyr Zelensky Street in honour of the country’s incredible leader. Hundreds of households have signed up to provide shelter to refugees fleeing the war. And every day vans filled with aid parcels leave the UK to help strangers in their time of need.

We are all doing what we can to help but the sad truth is that, even if the war ends tomorrow, the fallout will last for years.

It’s hall over for superstar

Did you see that Dolly Parton has “respectfully bowed out” of this year’s race to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame?

The country music star said she did not feel she had “earned the right” to be featured on this year’s 17-strong shortlist which also includes Eminem, Lionel Richie and Rage Against the Machine. It’s a surprising move from someone so talented, successful and iconic.

Some have suggested the Jolene singer may have imposter syndrome, but I think there is a simpler explanation – at 76, she probably just can’t be bothered getting glammed up to go to yet another ceremony. Or there’s not enough space left on the Parton mantelpiece. Either way, you’re a star with or without the award, Dolly.
