Ukraine bars three BBC journalists from entering country

Ukraine has barred dozens of reporters including three BBC journalists from entering the country as an unspecified security threat. The British correspondents are Steve Rosenberg and producer Emma Wells, and the Russian BBC journalist is cameraman Anton Chicherov.

This is the first sanctions list against Russian and foreign individuals that Kiev has introduced since a conflict broke out in April last year in eastern Ukraine, claiming more than 8,000 lives so far.
