four years, and peace remains a distant prospect. despite the violence and poverty though, civilians in the war zone try to live as normal a life as possible. in the frontline town of marinka, a new bakery has opened which brings some comfort and sustenance to war—weary locals. from marinka, lucy ash reports. the war in eastern ukraine, more than 10,000 people have died. now entering its fourth year, this has become one of the longest conflicts in modern european history. there is no end in sight to the hostilities, after separatist rebels, backed by russia, took over ukraine's donbass region.

hundreds of thousands of families were split up, stranded on opposite sides of the new border. with destruction all around, one familiar smell of peace time. but life for many here is anything but normal. i'm lucy ash and i'm in the town of marinka, where a bakery is providing comfort and hope amidst the trauma of war. marinka lies on the ukrainian side of the frontline.

before the conflict, nearly 10,000 people lived here. there is only half that number now. factories and coal mines have come to a standstill. ina warzone, jobs are hard to find. but for those trapped here, daily life must somehow go on. i have come to meet oleg tkachenko, a local pastor who, against the odds, has started a small business here. he converted this old supermarket, damaged in the fighting, into a working bakery. the bakery is marinka's first

new business since the war began. he produces fresh bread at affordable prices. olya has lived in the town for 30 years, ever since she and husband were evacuated from the chernobyl nuclear zone. this war has separated olya from her children and grandchildren. olya's home in marinka was badly damaged by shelling. she and her husband camp out in a house belonging to a family which has fled. she pines for her old life. olya was very, very proud

of her house and her garden. she wants to show me pictures. her children and grandchildren live in an area controlled by the breakaway donetsk people's republic, or dnr. you need special permission to go there. the conflict in eastern ukraine was sparked by demonstrations in kiev in the winter of 2013—2014, which ousted the pro—moscow president, viktor yanukovych. soon after the russian takeover of crimea, russian—backed rebels then seized territory around the eastern city of donetsk and declared the breakaway republics of donetsk and luhansk.

and marinka, just 30 kilometres from donetsk, found it self in a war zone. gunfire. explosion. at the beginning of the conflict, it was captured by the dnr forces and retaken by the ukrainian army four months later. the frontline runs north—east of marinka's centre. queues to cross to the other side can last hours, even days. this de facto border has divided families and created deep rifts between former neighbours. the divisions here in marinka are really quite complicated. these labels — pro—russian, pro— ukrainian — they don't really mean very much. people are anyway very scared to say

which side they actually support and, above all else, they want what is best for them and their families. they want the fighting to stop, they want peace to return to this town. bread is subsidised but, to cover costs, the bakery has to make a small profit. oleg and a fellow christian pastor started the bakery in 2016. they realised people needed physical as well as spiritual sustenance. now he spends his days in marinka but at night he goes home to a town safely away from the frontline. he does not hide where his political sympathies lie. he takes me to meet his family. oleg was once a successful

businessman in donetsk, which is now in rebel—held territory. he sought solace in the church after his eldest daughter died in a car crash — that was before the war. today he dedicates his life to helping others. oleg brought in bread from other towns, but it arrived stale and cold, so he got the idea for the bakery. it opened with the help of foreign aid — $10,000 from canada, where there is a big ukrainian diaspora, and flour from the czech republic. the bakery employs seven people.

on tonight's shift, three work flat out to produce enough bread, bun and biscuits for the next day. it is just past 11 o'clock and they are waiting for the bread to rise, but the time that i have been here we have already heard gunfire and mortar shells going off. olya is telling me that it is very normal, it happens most nights that they are working here. natasha had a job at marinka's bread factory before it was hit by an artillery shell. the bakery is a haven from the fighting, which usually kicks off every evening at dusk. the women stay here until morning because it is too dangerous

to travel home at night. both these women live in the so—called red zone, in a neighbourhood right by the frontline. tanya lives with her husband and teenage son. olya has mixed feeling about the ukrainian army's presence in the town. many here don't know who to believe and a lack of information deepens the distrust. locals mostly watch russian tv, which has a much stronger signal than the ukrainian channels. we are going to the place where the ukrainian army

is positioned, just on the outskirts of marinka. apparently, there was some trouble there last night, there was quite a lot of shelling, but i'm told it is quiet today. morale is low, even though these troops only arrived in a new rotation a few weeks ago. many suspect the war is being driven by profit and corruption, but they don't want to say that on camera. a senior officer talks of men in the shadows and smuggling networks for weapons, coal and oil. oleg uses this opportunity to introduce himself to the soldiers. the ukrainian government calls this area the anti—terrorist operation zone and sees the land on the other side of the frontline as occupied territory. i'm not going to come out any

further onto this roof because there are snipers in that direction but you can see how close the town is. ijust heard the church bells. the bakery and the market are just about 400 or 500 metres from here, so this really is a town on the frontline. life is hard, especially to the elderly in marinka. —— life is hard, especially for the elderly in marinka. the international red cross distributes aid such as coal, but poverty and the stress of war create tensions between neighbours. seems to be, i don't know, about a0 people queueing up for this registration to get winter coal. i'm just going to ask, like, about the lift. upstairs, ifind a lieutenant colonel, a military man now

in charge of marinka. he is uncomfortable when i ask why aid is coming from volunteers and charities rather than the ukrainian government. i've come to meet olya the baker. her house was hit and patched up by volunteers. it is right next to the checkpoint which separates ukraine from no man's land. beyond this slag heap is rebel—held territory, the dnr. there has been no gas or drinking water in marinka since the war began. people have always produced their own food here. but now, it is even more important. during the worst bombing, olya went down to the cellar. her elderly father didn't make it and died after being injured by shattered glass. tanya, who works with olya

at the bakery, lives only a few houses away. almost every house in tanya's street has been bombed or shelled at some point. a local teacher is at the bakery to pick up buns this monday morning for the kindergarten. this building, like most

in the town, was badly damaged and the children were evacuated. now it is open again, although there are only two classes so far. there is no canteen here yet, so the jam—filled buns are a special treat. the war in ukraine has slipped off the political agenda and it's rarely in the news anymore, but it is far from over. it is hard to imagine a time when these children will be able to live in peace. and although the fighting now is not as bad as it has been, its sporadic nature means

nobody knows when or where the next shell will land. hello again. it was another glorious day of weather yesterday, wasn't it? for most of us, we had the sunshine, and the hot spot was in kent, 27 degrees celsius recorded underneath skies like these. and just as we were getting used to all that heat, it looks like temperatures are going to come crashing down as we look at the forecast into next week. so take a look at london this weekend — about 26 celsius. we'll come down to about 17 degrees on monday, the weather turning much more unsettled as well. before we get there, a few mist patches to watch out for this morning. quite chilly air in the north.

not too cold further south. and this is what the weather has got in store for us this weekend. we'll all see spells of warm sunshine but temperatures will be easing through the weekend and we will start to see some thunderstorms breaking out. now, the initial batch of storms will be with us this afternoon and will continue to rumble away as we head through the this evening and overnight as well. so, here's the forecast. a dry start to the day for most of us. a few mist patches towards south—east england, around the chilterns, there are a few for sussex and kent as well, but these should tend will clear away. most of us will then get some sunny spells. it will feel warm in the sunshine as well with temperatures climbing to 26 degrees towards south—east england but we will start to see showers developing later in the day. now, initially, the showers might not have too much in the way of heavy rain, but big raindrops. but later on, as those showers continue to move in across parts of eastern england, maybe the midlands too, well, the showers will turn increasingly heavy with a greater risk of thunder overnight. so there are those thunderstorms, clearing the way eastwards through saturday night. temperature wise, still into double

figures for much for england and wales, we've still got that slightly cooler air further north for scotland and for northern ireland as well. further changes in the weather picture as we head through sunday. this cold front is going to be sweeping its way eastwards and it is this that will be bringing a cooler, fresher feel to the weather across north—western areas. outbreaks of rain to start the day as well in scotland and northern ireland, swinging eastwards. and as our cold front reaches parts of east anglia, south—east england, it will tend to turn more showery, so there could be further heavy, thundery showers dotted along as that front moves through. a cooler, fresher feel to the weather for the north—west. temperatures 22—23 degrees across parts of eastern england but, of course, that will make it pretty uncomfortable for the runners running the london marathon. it will get quite warm with temperatures pushing on into the low 20s for the finishers during the afternoon. it will turn cooler, then, as we head towards next week. instead of southerly winds, we've got the winds coming in from the atlantic, bringing a significant drop in temperatures. and the weather will turn quite unsettled across the north—west with rain at times as well. that's your latest weather. have a great weekend.
