The reporter was talking to the hosts at the time as he was forced to put his protective equipment on.

"As we talk, the air raid sirens are going off here in Kyiv - becoming something of a regular pattern here now," he explained.

"Just letting the population know that there is a threat where they can to take shelter and to obviously make an assessment for themselves and their own security."

A concerned Kate then asked: "Richard, when we hear those air raid sirens and I know our viewers are worried for you. Are you safe?

"Should you be running to take shelter? What precautions have you taken?"

"Yeah, we have taken a number of precautions but we have got our - in fact, it's just being passed to me," he replied as he put on a helmet.

"We have got our personal protective equipment to put on. We also have our vests, should the need arise. It is a tricky time for many, obviously, in the city who don't have this kind of equipment to hand.

"As I look out now, there are still people walking through the street, walking the dogs."

Kate then jumped in and told him: "We're going to let you get to safety, Richard, and we'll get you back."
