Russia or it could be the “end of our security” after Vladimir Putin’s troops attacked Ukraine, a security expert has warned. The Russian President launched his attack on the neighbouring country in the early hours causing death and destruction.Mr Putin announced the action during a televised address early on Thursday morning by saying the move was a response to threats from Ukraine.He then issued a warning to other countries that any attempt to interfere with the Russian action would lead to “consequences they have never seen”.Security expert Professor Anthony Glees believes Mr Putin’s threat was regarding nuclear weapons and that it “might be Ukraine today but could be all of us tomorrow”.He told the Daily Star: “No one in their right mind wants a nuclear war but it is possible, and i say this in all seriousness, that Putin may not be in his right mind, to me he looks demented.“To me he may even be drugged I don’t know but he has threatened us with nuclear war this morning and we must show that we are not going to back off, because if we do back off, it is effectively the end of NATO and the end of our security.”Reports across Ukraine have seen airstrikes cause destruction as well as reports of troops on the ground, including in the exclusion zone in Chernobyl.

ITV's new gripping documentary Yorkshire Ripper: The Secret Murders re-examines the case of notorious serial killer Peter Sutcliffe.The former lorry driver was found guilty of murdering at least 13 women in the late 1970s and early 1980s.The two-part series explores the horrific crimes and how Sutcliffe was able to continue his killing spree and go undetected for so long.Sutcliffe was interviewed and let out nine times during the investigation, but all the police had about the case was in paper form, making it hard to cross-reference.At his Old Bailey trial, Sutcliffe said: "It was just a miracle they did not apprehend me earlier - they had all the facts."So how was the Yorkshire Ripper finally caught? Here we take a closer look.Sutcliffe was finally arrested on January 2 1981, but it was several days before they revealed him to be the serial killer.He was caught in a car in Melbourne Avenue, an area known for being the Sheffield's red light district, with a 24-year-old prostitute called Olivia Reivers.The pair were parked in the drive way of Light Trades House when two officers decided to investigate because the car they were in had false number plates.While at Dewsbury Police Station he was also questioned in relation to the Ripper case, due to his physical likeness.The next day police officers returned to the scene of arrest and found a knife, hammer and rope which had been discarded when Sutcliffe had told them he was "bursting to pee".The officers also searched his car and found screwdrivers in the glove compartment.
