of president putin's full—scale invasion. the president of the eu commission, ursula von der leyen, arrived in kyiv, where she says the eu will stand with ukraine until the country is finally free. this is the scene live in kyiv, overlooking independence square, where president zelensky says ukraine urgently needs more weapons. angry french farmers clash with police at a major paris farm fair ahead of a visit by president macron amid anger over costs and green regulations. the labour party has called for the tory mp lee anderson to be suspended over what it described as "islamophobic" comments about the mayor of london. hello, i'm lauren taylor. there've been further russian attacks on ukrainian cities as kyiv marks the second anniversary of president putin's

full—scale invasion. for a second night running, targets in the port city of odesa have been hit, killing one person. three others were seriously injured. the anniversary has been marked by a meeting of the un security council, which was told by the secretary—general that the conflict was an open wound at the heart of europe. and in the last hour, the eu commission chief ursula von der leyen praised the "extraordinary resistance" of the ukrainian people, as she arrived in kyiv. she was travelling alongside the prime ministers of italy, canada and belgium. this is the live scene in kyiv on the morning of that second anniversary. vincent mcaviney reports. two years on from the biggest attack on a european nation since the second world war, the uk is marking the anniversary by reaffirming its commitment to ukraine. the government has pledged an additional £245 million towards producing artillery shells for ukraine and announced further sanctions on russia.

the prime minister stating britain is prepared to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to help ukraine achieve victory. labour leader sir keir starmer also said president putin's cowardice and barbarity will not prevail. but it's faltering us funding that is stalling ukraine's efforts, something the foreign secretary is pushing at the united nations in new york. if we allow this brutal dictator in europe to redraw boundaries by force, to invade other countries and get away with it, no country will be safe. and we know from our history that if we allow that to happen, the cost when we eventually have to intervene and stop them is so much greater. a $60 billion military aid package currently being blocked in congress by far—right republicans. but president biden is determined to continue support. remember, the united states pulled together a coalition of more than 50 nations — 50 nations —

to support ukraine. we unified and expanded nato. we can't walk away now. and that's what putin is betting on, he's betting on that we're going to walk away. president zelenskyy is expected to take part in a virtual meeting with g7 leaders later today. for much of the past two years, he's lobbied leaders, parliaments and peoples around the world for their support. whilst morale might now be faltering both at home and abroad for the president, it's clear the ukrainian people, despite the destruction and loss of the past two years, aren't ready to give up their country. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. two years ago, kia was expected by some to fall within three days but it is still defending itself. —— kyiv were expected. president zelensky says more of his troops are dying because of slowing western

support. they run every minute, weaving through the city. the trams provide a rhythm to daily life. in this era of change and fragility, they are not the only thing that keeps going. this gritty urban setting is built around the domineering steel plant, where the chimney smoke never stops. there also no respite for supporting the war effort, like tatiana. translation: mi; the war effort, like tatiana. translation:— the war effort, like tatiana. translation: g ., , ., translation: my villages on the front nine, translation: my villages on the front nine. my — translation: my villages on the front nine, my house _ translation: my villages on the front nine, my house was - translation: my villages on the | front nine, my house was destroyed by a direct hit. but i have found some solace here. it fills me up. i feel needed.

fight this war is repeatedly being asked on the world stage, and will continue to be so, because of russia's increasing dominance and waning western support. volodymyr zelensky said his country would fight as long as it had strengthened opportunity. few would doubt the former, but the latter is diminishing. the novelty of this war has gone. in ukraine, they are trying to keep the world engaged. james waterhouse, bbc news. james, give us an assessment, two years on, what you think the state of the war is. years on, what you think the state of the war is— of the war is. well, this is a different — of the war is. well, this is a different war. _ of the war is. well, this is a different war. this - of the war is. well, this is a different war. this is - of the war is. well, this is a - different war. this is something ukraine and president zelensky are having to adapt to, because in those early days and weeks, the pace of events was at such a dizzying speed, you have those 150,000 russian troops advancing in three directions

after months of building up on ukraine's borders, cities were being surrounded, swathes of territory was being captured and it really wasn't clear how long ukraine could last. then here we are now, where the story of the past year or so has been of russia are notjust occupying one fifth of ukraine but keeping hold of it, crucially. last year, talks this time of year —— but this time last, there was a lot of hope around the ukrainian counteroffensive to try to take back what russia had taken, and it had some success in late 2022, but russia has shown it can defend what it has taken, after months of building fortifications. and now as we go deeper into this war of attrition, where men are being mobilised, compelled tojoin up, we are seeing russia making its size count. it is able to throw more men at this war compared with ukraine,

which has a third of russia's population, can keep its economy on a warfooting, and ukraine is more reliant on western help for the equipment, ammunition and weaponry needed to mount its attack. any talk of liberation is on the shelf for now. it is about hanging on for ukraine. this is why we are seeing president zelensky today are trying to inject some impetus, to bring back that novelty of this war, to create urgency by hosting european leaders, it looks like, as well as the prime minister of canada, the president of the european commission, he is trying to inject some urgency, but looking ahead, the path looks difficult and uncertain. and in the meantime, ukraine is trying to counteract that lack of ammunition or perhaps some of it, with a manager —— with the use of drones, and i understand there was an attack on a steel plant belonging to russia by ukraine, tell us more about that.

to russia by ukraine, tell us more about that-— about that. yes, this was an announcement _ about that. yes, this was an announcement by _ about that. yes, this was an announcement by the - about that. yes, this was an i announcement by the security services, they have conducted a strike on a metal plant which reportedly was helping in russia's war effort. we don't know much more than that, but where there has been ukrainian successes in this invasion, it has been to do with strikes deep inside russia as well as russian occupied territory in ukraine. we have seen ukraine degrade russia's navy quite significantly, it has hit targets and crummy and has become more confident and trying to strike targets deep inside russia. crucially, it has done little to change the tide in terms of battlefield progress, but i think for ukraine, they are trying to counter—punch in its own style, it is nothing to the extent of which russia subjects ukraine to nationwide micelle and drone attacks but it is ukraine trying to frustrate russian production and supply lines as well as bringing the

war in ukraine to some of the russians living across the border. james, thank you very much. let's speak to yuliia bulaieva — she's a ukrainian refugee living in the uk. thank you for being with us. tell us a little bit about how you came to be in the uk and what your story was. be in the uk and what your story was, , , . ., be in the uk and what your story was. , , . ., ., was. so, pretty much i moved almost two ears was. so, pretty much i moved almost two years ago. _ was. so, pretty much i moved almost two years ago. i— was. so, pretty much i moved almost two years ago, i moved _ was. so, pretty much i moved almost two years ago, i moved in _ was. so, pretty much i moved almost two years ago, i moved in april - two years ago, i moved in april 2022. it was a very long journey, around 18 hours just to the border. literally, like huge alarm across the ukraine, bombing across ukraine, but yes, that was two years ago. i can't believe it. did you think at that stage that he would be leaving for as long? i that stage that he would be leaving for as long?— for as long? i had no idea, none of us... for as long? i had no idea, none of us--- this — for as long? i had no idea, none of us... this wasn't _ for as long? i had no idea, none of us... this wasn't my _ for as long? i had no idea, none of us... this wasn't my plan, - for as long? i had no idea, none of us... this wasn't my plan, to - for as long? i had no idea, none of. us... this wasn't my plan, to move, initially. i wasn't thinking about living in a different country. i was

was scheduled to walk around the trade fair later. he cancelled a planned debate at the fair with farmers, food processors and retailers, after farmers' unions said they would not show up. we can see the seen live in paris, a little bit calmer there outside the agricultural fair. hugh schofield is in paris and has been following the story. agriculture has always been a thorn in the side of french presidents and this affair is one they have to go to, isn't it? it this affair is one they have to go to, isn't it?— this affair is one they have to go to, isn't it? it is the annualfarm fair, to, isn't it? it is the annualfarm fair. farm _ to, isn't it? it is the annualfarm fair, farm show. _ to, isn't it? it is the annualfarm fair, farm show. it's _ to, isn't it? it is the annualfarm fair, farm show. it's a _ to, isn't it? it is the annualfarm fair, farm show. it's a big - to, isn't it? it is the annual farm l fair, farm show. it's a big moment in the calendar here, yes, the president always goes. jacques chirac famously was loved by the farmers, but presidents since have not been so much admired. and this one, emmanuel macron, is put to: a

bugbear amongst farmers. that's why we have these chaotic scenes this morning. unprecedented really at a farm show. the riot police having to enter the hall after a group of farmers burst in, kind of violently getting inside and trying to disrupt the planned opening by president macron. he meanwhile was upstairs having a breakfast with farming leaders, and the plan that he would come down and formally cut the ribbon and open it seems like it will have to be cancelled, because i don't see how the current conditions there, he could have a proper reception. in the opening was supposed to take place in aragon it's been postponed. so supposed to take place in aragon it's been postponed.— supposed to take place in aragon it's been postponed. so what kind of lanned us it's been postponed. so what kind of planned us to _ it's been postponed. so what kind of planned us to to _ it's been postponed. so what kind of planned us to to try _ it's been postponed. so what kind of planned us to to try and _ it's been postponed. so what kind of planned us to to try and defuse - it's been postponed. so what kind of planned us to to try and defuse the l planned us to to try and defuse the situation? —— take place an hour ago. it's awkward. the farmers are very popular. polls show that 90% or

more are behind their demands. so it never looks — more are behind their demands. so it never looks good _ more are behind their demands. ’sr it never looks good to more are behind their demands. 5r it never looks good to be on the wrong side of the farmers. but macron is doing what he does, he's being very bold, he is offering a debate, he is not cringing, he is going out to try and talk to them if they will talk to him, in the sense that works, because if you listened as i have been doing, the union leaders and so on, they are acknowledging that there is stuff that is on the table which moves in their direction. what he has done today, this morning, is talk to the press and say he wants to be with farming leaders in three weeks and hold a new round of talks, he has promised there will be a minimum pricing structure so that farmers never produce at a loss. but the trouble is, it is a very, very complicated picture, the pharma problem, as it is across europe. you have the european dimension, the international dimension. —— the farming problem. and the fact that

they have been encouraged to introduce more and more green regulations which means their production is going down, which means europe and france import more from elsewhere, which countries do not necessarily obey the same environmental rules, all this enters the picture and it's extremely complicated, so it is a tense time forfarming in europe and that's reflected in these scenes today. hugh schofield, thank you very much. labour has called for tory mp lee anderson to lose the whip over what it described as "islamophobic" comments about mayor of london, sadiq khan. mr anderson told gb news that islamists had "got control" of mr khan and he had "given our capital city away to his mates". a conservative source told the bbc that mr anderson was "simply making the point" that mr khan had "failed to get a grip on appalling islamist marches" in london. let's speak to our political correpondent charlotte rose. tell us more about

hello. it has been a quiet start to our weekend but it's been a cold one. in fact, temperatures are low enough through the night for some frost. as you can see in this weather watcher is a picture sent from shropshire earlier. in fact, temperatures fell below freezing in many places and we haven't seen temperatures below freezing in central and southern england so far this month. those values were —6 in aberdeenshire. there have also been some showers and it is from this weather front here most of the frequent showers are sitting. they will continue across south west england down to the channel islands. this has been the story far. a few isolated ones in northern ireland and the north and west coasts of scotland. for most of us, after the mist and fog lift away, a lot of sunshine. yes, klaebo tend to a little in the afternoon but keeping some sunny spells. the showers will be more isolated than yesterday and nevertheless some of us will get to see a story throughout the day. 6 to

10 the overall high, pretty much where temperatures should be this time of year. through the evening and overnight, it will remain light, the skies were clear and some of the showers will fade away so for some we will see a frost returning. more cloud and rain started to gather into the south—west. here, temperatures will holed up above freezing. colder and more frosty further north. so we need to look at this area of low pressure because it is likely to bring some rain into the south—west. still some uncertainty as to how far north of the rain is going to come. the current thinking is that it will push on across south wales in south west england and drift along china coasts. a little more cloud on sunday perhaps but on the whole dry and settled with scattered showers into north—west scotland and again, highs of 6 to 10. that frontal system may still bring a bit of early morning rain first thing on monday across the kent coast. more importantly, a north—easterly wind will start to pick up, a brisk wind

from a cool sorts which will make you feel chilly on those exposed east coasts. a little more cloud around on monday but on the whole mostly fine and dry. again, temperatures are fairly similar. moving out on monday into tuesday and wednesday, we keep this quieter theme but with each day there is a risk of it turning a little milder and more unsettled.

this is bbc news, the headlines... there have been further russian attacks on cities in ukraine, as kyiv marks the second anniversary of russia's full—scale invasion. the president of the eu commission, ursula von der leyen has arrived in kyiv where she says the eu will stand with ukraine — until the country is finally free. angry french farmers clash with police at a major paris farm fair ahead of a visit by president macron amid anger over costs, red tape and green regulations. macron had already been forced to cancel a debate at the fair after farmers unions said they would not show up. junior doctors in england have started their tenth strike in a dispute with the government about pay. nhs bosses warn the five—day walk out will cause major disruption. the british medical association has asked for a 35% pay rise, but ministers have described the pay claim as unreasonable. on this morning two years ago,

russia launched its full—scale invasion of ukraine. kyiv was expected by some to fall "within days", but it's still defending itself against relentless russian attacks. however, invading forces are slowly taking more territory, and president zelensky says more of his troops are dying because of slowing western support. 0ur correspondents will be live in kyiv to bring you the latest. a top ukrainian security official has warned that ukraine believes president putin would try to settle the ukraine issue before november's us presidential election by seizing more territory and destabilising the country. in a bbc interview in kyiv, 0leksiy danilov, secretary of ukraine's national security and defence council emphasised that russian forces were now taking advantage of the delayed delivery of military aid by ukraine allies. 0ur chief international correspondent lyse doucet reports from the ukrainian capital. translation: the situation is

year, ukrainians are now realising this will be a long war. both ukraine and russia have suffered heavy losses. neither country discloses the full scale of casualties including the dead and injured. but ukraine has released some details of the many injured including more than a thousand who've been blinded on the battlefield, half of whom have lost most of their hearing. many are being helped to readjust to their new lives by ukraine's many volunteers. translation: i can say a lot to talk about the war. _ translation: i can say a lot to talk about the war. i _ translation: i can say a lot to talk about the war. i don't _ translation: i can say a lot to talk about the war. i don't like _ translation: i can say a lot to talk about the war. i don't like to - translation: i can say a lot to talk about the war. i don't like to get - about the war. i don't like to get into the details. —— i can't say i like to talk about the war. but of course, it has affected my family and the people i love. we met in a local cafe in the 14th of february, we went on our first date. we had to separate because vlad went to the front line. we couldn't see each other for half a year, but we were always in touch and texted each

city of rafah unless a deal is reached for a truce. it says hamas fighters are in the city. its forces have already decimated parts of the city with air raids, but it is threatening a ground invasion despite international opposition. israel's allies, including the us, have spoken out against an invasion of rafah. on friday, the us also criticised israel's reported plan to expand settlements in the west bank. in a return to us policy that was scrapped under the trump the trump administration. the trump administration, us secretary of state antony blinken said israel's settlements in the west bank violate international law. we've seen the reports and i have to say we're disappointed in the announcement. it's been long—standing us policy under republican and democratic administrations alike that new settlements are counterproductive to reaching an enduring peace. they're also inconsistent with international law. 0ur administration maintains a firm opposition to settlement expansion. the attorney—general�*s office in the us state of alabama has said it has no intention of prosecuting fertility clinics nor the families that use them,

following last week's ruling by the state supreme court that frozen embryos be considered children. many ivf providers have halted treatments while they assess the ruling and some alabama senators have said they will introduce legislation to protect the industry. the current frontrunner for the republican presidential nomination — donald trump — emphasised his support for the treatments. i strongly support the availability of ivf for couples who are trying to have a precious little beautiful baby. i support it. cheering and applause today, i'm calling on the alabama legislator to act quickly to find an immediate solution to preserve the availability of ivf in alabama, and i'm sure they're going to do that. 0ur north america correspondent nomia iqbal has more details. there is still ongoing shock, anger and confusion here in alabama. people are trying to

grapple with what this supreme court ruling means. alabama is a deeply conservative state. it has restrictive reproductive rights. and i spoke to two lawyers — politically, they have different views, but both of them had children via ivf and they're worried about the direction in which alabama is heading. i understand people looking at it from the outside are probably curious that how did we become a state where if you want to terminate a pregnancy, you have to leave the state, and if you want to initiate a pregnancy via ivf, you have to leave the state? it's like we find ourselves in this weird position where we're forcing some women to have the children they don't have and we're preventing other women from from having the children they want. and without going too far into all of that and what's right and wrong, it is, you're right, it's a very interesting situation and we have to figure it out, and while at the same time ask ourselves, how in the world did we end up in this place? the biggest concerns are the people forget about us and they don't think about us

because we're just alabama and we're just a conservative state that, you know, it'sjust, "0h, we're all country bumpkins. "don't worry about them. it'll never happen here." and then next thing you know, it's happening in other states that are ultra—conservative. now, at the moment, there is a bill that has been proposed by democratic lawmakers in alabama which aims to protect ivf. there are republicans there who want to get on board, but it's a tricky situation for them to navigate, because there are groups in the state which are very conservative, they describe themselves as pro—life and they back the supreme court ruling. but then there are groups who are also conservative and describe themselves as pro—life, who say that this ruling has gone too far and describe it as extreme. so it's a case of trying to balance both of those opinions. but i think there is a sense, certainly for republicans here, that there could be a political backlash, which is especially significant in an election year.

now, to some uk stories. junior doctors in england have begun another round of strikes as part of a long—running dispute over pay. it comes at a time of significant pressure on the health service — and routine operations and check—ups are expected to be badly disrupted. 0ur health correspondent, dominic hughes, reports. nigel is living with a heart condition, but also terminal bowel cancer. the tablets are helping his heart, but fortnightly doses of chemotherapy for the cancer are what's keeping him alive. when i met him this week, nigel wasn't sure if the strike would mean his next session would go ahead. why hasn't the government helped resolve this? i thoroughly support what the junior doctors are doing, but i don't want them to be on strike. you know, i think that they've got a very good case for getting more money for the work that they do, but at the same time, i'm not convinced by health service workers being on strike, that's going to have such a negative impact on all of the patients. this is the 10th strike byjunior doctors in england, but they've also been on strike

in wales this past week, and in northern ireland they voted in support of strike action next month. only in scotland have junior doctors accepted a 12.4% pay rise for this year. chanting: what do we want? pay restoration! when do we want it? now! the industrial action in england has been going on for nearly a year now, but striking doctors like ray say they're determined to carry on. i'm not going to stop striking until i feel that doctors are getting an offer that they deserve, to feel fairly valued, and the government needs to understand that. so even though we could end this dispute with the government having a little bit of decorum and dignity, or his majesty's government will get to the understanding that they need to, kicking and screaming. i want for this to be resolved. i've come to these negotiations with nothing but good intentions and a genuine desire to find a reasonable solution forjunior doctors, but also, importantly, for patients and the public and the taxpayer.

so i still want to try and achieve that, but i can only do that if the junior doctors committee plays their part. nhs bosses have warned of more serious disruption to services over the next five days, particularly planned operations in clinics. but for patients like nigel, the uncertainty caused by this latest row and strike action continues. latest round of strike action continues. there will be many who will be asking why, nearly one year on, this dispute has not yet been resolved. dominic hughes, bbc news. emma runswich, deputy chair of the british medical association council, blamed the strike action on the government's refusal to offer a credible pay rise. it is really disappointing that we are here again. if you'd asked me before christmas if you are right to take strike action, i would have been very optimistic that we wouldn't have been in this position. unfortunately, the government is not making moves to giving us credible

offer. to moving us back towards pay restorations we can fix the staffing crisis in the nhs. that puts us in a position where there isn't anything else we can do but take strike action. an unexploded second world war bomb which forced more than 10,000 people in plymouth to evacuate their homes has been detonated at sea. the device was discovered in a garden after being dropped on the city more than 80 years ago. 0ur south west england correspondent jenny kumah reports. the bomb has been detonated off the coast of plymouth. it landed during the blitz more than 80 years ago but was still capable of causing huge damage. 0n the move — the city at a standstill as the military carried its lethal cargo. just look at the size of it — 500 kilograms of explosives. it was a delicate operation to move it out of harm's way. huge relief when it made its way through the city safely. for the past week, the device has caused chaos

for the local community. 3,000 people living in nearby properties were told to leave their homes over three days. some stayed with friends and families, others got put up in hotels by the council. then, bomb disposal experts announced the safest way to deal with it was to move it away for detonation. at midday yesterday, more than 7,000 people living within 300 metres of the route were told to be out of their homes in the afternoon. this landlord opened early to give people somewhere to go. people have come in and it is nice to help the community out. as a community pub, you know, it is nice to do that, and it's nice for people to know that we're here for them. anything they need, they can come in. it's horrendous. we just want to get home. it's unfair on everybody, especially being ill. this is all i can do, _ venture out, go socialise a bit. try to support some other people. makes you wonder how many

more bombs are around! by the evening, people got the good news that they could go home. this is posy, my nine—year—old little cat. she's come from a little trip from devonport today because we couldn't stay. she didn't really enjoy it that much but she got treated and stroked by a lot of people. a new experience, glad it is over, glad everyone got home. - it's been different, to say the least. but no, everybody�*s been lovely. plymouth was heavily bombed during the war, so unexploded devices do turn up now and again. but this time, it was extraordinary due to the level of disruption it caused. jenny kumah, bbc news, plymouth. daphne steele helped thousands of patients during her career as a nurse and midwife — but it was her pioneering role in the nhs that solidified her legacy as a trailblazer. she's believed to be the health service's first black matron, becoming a symbol

of the contribution that the windrush generation made britain. windrush generation made to britain. now, herachievement is being recognised permanently. tim muffett reports. recognition for a quiet revolutionary, which is how historic revolutionary, which is how historic england has described daphne steele. almost 60 years ago, she became the first black matron in the nhs, at a hospital on this site in ilkley in west yorkshire. came to ilkley in 1964 to take charge of a maternity hospital. caused quite a stir, first black woman and all that, to take charge of any nhs hospital. and i loved the community so much i've not left it. daphne steele died in 2004, having delivered thousands of babies and having become a much—loved member of the local community. in 2002, she was nominated to take part in the queen's jubilee baton relay, ahead of the commonwealth games. i think i've got the legs for it!

not only is it an honour because i am from this local community, but i was born in a commonwealth country. and if this is the queen'sjubilee commonwealth games, i think it has come full circle. archive: the empire windrush brings to britain... _ daphne was born in what was then known as british guiana in 1927 and moved to england in 1951 as part of the windrush generation. she trained to become a nurse and then a midwife before landing herjob in ilkley. daphne steele is now the first person to be commemorated with an official blue plaque outside of london. the scheme was launched in the capital in 1866, but following a law change last year, it's being extended across england. former beatle george harrison is expected to be commemorated next. tim muffett, bbc news.

hello there. it has been a quiet start to our weekend, but a cold one. in fact, temperature is low enough through the night for some frost, as you can see from this weather watcher picture sent in from shropshire earlier on. in fact, temperatures fell below freezing in many places, and we haven't seen temperatures below freezing in central and southern england so far this month, but lowest values are —6 in aberdeenshire. there also been some showers, and his from this little weather front for most of the frequent showers are sitting. they will continue across south—west england down to the channel islands. this has been the story so far. a few isolated ones in northern ireland and the north—west coast of scotland. for most of us, after the mist and fog lifts away, a lot of sunshine around. yes, clyde will tend to bubble up a little bit into the afternoon, but we keep some spells. the showers will more isolated yesterday and nevertheless some of us will get to see a dry story throughout the day. six to 10

degrees the overall height. that is pretty much where temperatures should be for this time of year stop as we go through the evening and overnight, winds will remain light, skies were clear, and some of the showers orfade away. skies were clear, and some of the showers or fade away. for some, skies were clear, and some of the showers orfade away. for some, once again we will see a frost returning. there will be more cloud and rain started to gather into the south—west. here, temperatures were holed up above freezing, cold and frosty further north. we need to look at this area of low pressure, because it is likely to bring some rain into the south—west. still some uncertainty as to how far north that rain is going to come. the current thinking is it will push on across south—west england and drift along the channel because throughout the day. little more cloud on sunday, but on the whole dry and settled, with a few scattered showers into north and scotland and again highs of six to 10 celsius. an frontal system may still bring a little bit of early morning rain first thing on monday morning. more importantly, a north—easterly wind will start to pick up, a brisk wind from a cool

source. that will make it feel chilly on the exposed east coast. a little more cloud around on monday, but on the whole largely fine and dry. again, temperature fairly similar. as you move into tuesday and wednesday we keep a quieter theme, but with each day through the week there is a risk that turning a little milder more unsettled.
