Ukraine's State Emergencies Service has said nearly 1,000 such centers have been erected across the country since the program was first launched Nov. 18, with a website offering an online map to guide people to them. Civilian infrastructure has been badly effected by the war with many areas of the country suffering power and heating outages as winter approaches.===========================================================Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com(ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
