ukrainian president says it amounts to a war crime. in a late—night video address mr zelensky said there were eyewitness accounts of civilians being deliberately targeted during a sustained attack on that second biggest city. he called for the of ukraine to become a no—fly zone for russian aircraft. reports suggest that a convoy of russian military vehicles in advancing on kyiv is substantially longer than earlier reports. satellite imagery says the convoy actually structures for much, much further than the 27 kilometres reported earlier. the company said new managers reported ground troops and attack helicopters in southern belarus. that is less than 33 kilometres from the border with ukraine. let's get the latest on the situation with our international correspondent.

gunfire. by night, they defend the capital. skies full of fire. these ukrainian troops are still holding off russian forces. their president calling on the invaders to lay down their arms. translation: drop your weapons and get out of here. _ do not believe your commanders, do not believe your propagandists, just save your lives and go. and in a kyiv children's hospital, a young victim of europe's newest war lies between life and death. he'sjust i3, and doctors tell us as his family tried to flee, they came under fire. it's unclear from which side. the smallest brother was killed, unfortunately. this boy has injuries of face and also injuries of spine. it's very difficult to say at this moment

what is the prognosis, but we will try to do everything to save this child. here at okmadet hospital, the largest paediatric centre in ukraine, staff are used to battling disease. now they have to adjust to war on their doorstep. most of the patients have been moved to the basement for safety reasons. there was another air raid siren just as we arrived. now, doctors here say they have enough supplies for the moment, but the world health organization is warning that if the situation in kyiv gets worse, oxygen supplies could start to run out. and just outside, desperately ill children wait with their worried mothers to be transferred to poland for cancer treatment no longer available here. he is six years old.

this boy must endure a risky journey with his mother marina. i know all the dangers that we| may face they are on the boat, and it's really, really dangerous for us. i and i'll be frank, i am scared. but i can't see another way to escape, so we. will have to do this. but no escape today in kharkiv, ukraine's second largest city. military experts say it looks like russia is using cluster bombs, which are banned by many countries. this is a residential area with no military objects... here, a factory of some

kind, now destroyed. it was a relentless bombardment of a major city as peace talks were beginning. ukrainians are fighting back. a fearless reception committee for russian troops in the eastern city of berdiansk. shouts of "go home!" back in kyiv, the air raid sirens were wailing again, and some were rushing for the railway station, including this group of students from india. we don't know what's going to happen next, but the only thing is that we're going to go home, and we're trying our best to go back home, that's it. there have been reports of foreign students not being allowed on trains. but in this time of war, hopes

all will be treated equally. in these hard times, j ijust hope it doesn't matter who's indian, - who's pakistani, russian, ukrainian, we allarej just people, we have certain human rights. so, i guess in these hard - times, we should just help each other and cooperate . on this, and that's all. many are carried to the station by fear for their children and their city, already robbed of the lives they had just a week ago. inside it was all too much for this beloved pet. and already there are queues forfood. some wondering how long it will be before supplies start to run out. day five of the invasion and ukraine still resists, but there are fears this city could be put under siege. and once again, darkness brings new danger in the capital.

thank you forjoining us. the grounded fan seems to have stalled a little. it does not appear to be going to plan. there are reports that 25% of his trips available in the region could yet be called into theatre. where is the next phase of this conflict going now, do you think? it doesn't here it is _ now, do you think? it doesn't here it is not _ now, do you think? it doesn't here it is not going _ now, do you think? it doesn't here it is not going according | here it is not going according to plan, according to timeline. no war ever does. there is a pentagon saying, you know, no plan survives contact with the enemy. there has been valiant, courageous and effective ukrainian resistance. however, very worried about the next 72

hours for it does appear that russia and military forces are going to use heavy artillery forces and shelling of civilian areas, war crimes. but it looks like that phases beginning and we are seeing that a number of cities and i will worry that will continue for quite a while at very, very heavy human toll. this is the version war machine which, for decades, has been artillery heavy and kicking into gear was not that much military capacity to oppose it. these are munitions we have seenin these are munitions we have seen in georgia and syria as well. those are war crimes, if used in civilian areas? it well. those are war crimes, if used in civilian areas?- used in civilian areas? it is my understanding - used in civilian areas? it is my understanding that - used in civilian areas? it 3 my understanding that there is a war crimes but there are a range of munitions also that

russian artillery, mortars etc are going to be using, so it is are going to be using, so it is a heavily mechanised kind of insertion into the outskirts of the cities and an sums case as it will be voting bloc to bloc as we are to hear about in the north—western part, believe, the capital, this is the phase really worry and i really hope that the ukrainian resistance can slow if not stop the russian advance. ._ ., ., �* russian advance. playland don't seem to be _ russian advance. playland don't seem to be working _ russian advance. playland don't seem to be working with - russian advance. playland don't| seem to be working with reports of russian tanks running out of fuel and asking for a few even from ukrainian posts. how far, though, do you think putin would go here? is that as nuclear deterrence on alert. is that feasible?— nuclear deterrence on alert. is that feasible? something to be taken very _ that feasible? something to be taken very seriously _ that feasible? something to be taken very seriously but - that feasible? something to be taken very seriously but i - taken very seriously but i would not panic and run for the exits here. i mean, ithink would not panic and run for the exits here. i mean, i think it is one of the few muscles that

"you will not be allowed," the policeman shouts to the men on the stairwell. "women and children only." tempers fray. back and forth go the arguments and pleas. shouting. the police move to help

those allowed to board. so, the women and children are being pulled from the crowd on the stairs now so that they can board the train. the police again are outnumbered, but they are doing their best. i've seen them go down there into the crowds and try and calm people. but it's very, very difficult, given the volatility of the situation. i saw you in the queue. what do you feel about what's happening here? it's awful. it's very bad. what age is your baby? one year, he's very scared. of course, of course. the foreign students and workers here find themselves without family help farfrom home. and if they're men,

they must wait until women and children are evacuated. what is it like for you, this? it's really stressful. as you can see, i'm a bit nervous. i want to get on the train, but unfortunately i can't. my visa was supposed to come tomorrow. so, i had tojust pack my stuff and leave. the un has warned of a fast deteriorating situation as tens of thousands flee towards western europe. this man is a british medic trying to leave with his family. here we just come, every people panic, because we have a bad - situation here, and we came to try and catch it, _ but it's so hard, everybody wants to go, to run. - this is what he's run from. the russian shelling of kharkiv. sobbing. and this is the voice of a young woman in the city, terrorised by shelling close to her apartment. we met doha from morocco

as she waited for a train. i cried, i prayed so much. and i just want to go home, really. i'm not safe any more here. i left everything, i left my studies, i... just pray with us, guys. thank you so much. on platform six, a father's farewell to his infant son. what cannot be held must be let go, untilanother day. fergal keane, bbc news, lviv. still to come fifa kicks russia's footballers into sport exile over the invasion.

first, the plates slid gently off the restaurant tables. then suddenly the tables, the chairs and people crashed sideways and downwards. it was just a matter of seconds as the ferry lurched onto her side. the hydrogen bomb. on a remote pacific atoll, the americans had successfully tested a weapon whose explosive force dwarfed that of the bomb dropped on hiroshima. i had heard the news earlier, and so my heart went bang, bang, bang! the constitutional rights of - these marchers are their rights as citizens of united states, . and they should protected even in the right to test them out so that they don't _ get their heads broken l and are sent to hospital. this religious controversy, i know you don't want to say too much it, but does it worry you that it's ging to boil up when you get to the states? well, it worries me, yes, but, i hope everything will be all right at the end, as they say.

ukraine's president accuses russia of bombing residential districts in the city. because of a war reports suggest a convoy of russian military, seen advancing on, is much longer than earlier thought. that is the picture on the borders of ukraine. meanwhile, in russia, putin says a settlement is possible but only if what described as moscow's legitimate security interests were addressed. while the fighting continues russia's central bank has been rocked by sanctions imposed by the us and european allies. our correspondent reports on how russia's politicians and public are reacting to the war.

once, moscow glistened with aspiration — to be a global financial centre, an economic giant. but war has changed that. after the kremlin�*s invasion of ukraine, the world has turned its back on russia. western sanctions have sent the russian rouble tumbling and interest rates soaring. no panic yet, but russians are feeling it. svetlana's advertising agency is already losing clients. it's just like a nightmare for me, really. i can't believe that this is really happening. we don't want to go back there, to this iron curtain. we don't want to be isolated from the society. me personally and everybody who i know, we don't want this. western sanctions, economic and financial, are designed to punish the russian state, the kremlin, for its war in ukraine. but inevitably the russian public will feel the effects, too, and already there's a sense of disbelief

here on the streets atjust how quickly russia's international isolation is growing. in the kremlin, an urgent meeting. translation: i invited you here to talk about the economy - and about those sanctions that the so—called western community, or as i call it, the empire of lies, is trying to impose on us. more talking. this time, negotiators from russia and ukraine meeting in belarus. few expected a breakthrough, and there wasn't one. the war continues. but it's beginning to feel like the kremlin�*s under pressure, with the president becoming an international pariah, his army meeting fierce resistance in ukraine and his people uneasy at the prospect of new divisions, new iron curtains separating them from the outside world. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow.

thank you forjoining us. the peace talks that we saw today have gone nowhere and they are going to meet again, apparently. emergency meeting of the un general assembly, the first one in decades, where moving diplomatically? general assembly is _ moving diplomatically? general assembly is not _ moving diplomatically? general assembly is not a _ moving diplomatically? general assembly is not a place - moving diplomatically? general assembly is not a place are - assembly is not a place are going to get peace deal. but it is a place where expression a sort of global can be expressed by 193 countries, big, small, weak, strong. what is striking

is that unlike the security council, which is more powerful because russia is a permanent member and political interests are so present there, and the general assembly of god and of globalfocus group general assembly of god and of global focus group values and for all setbacks to democracy and human rights around the world in recent years, there remain a solid majority of countries who are appalled that a country could without pretext invade its neighbour. it breaches the most fundamental rule of the united nations, the sovereignty of borders. in that sense, this is going to show president putin this is not a conflict between russia and the west, it is a conflict between russia and in the rest. that would be — russia and in the rest. that would be nothing _ russia and in the rest. that would be nothing more - russia and in the rest. that would be nothing more than a communique, would it not? in what way would that stop him or frighten him?— frighten him? that, it is one track. frighten him? that, it is one track- the — frighten him? that, it is one track. the other _ frighten him? that, it is one track. the other track - frighten him? that, it is one track. the other track would j track. the other track would remain the neighbourhood, the

region pressing in on security and energy and other issues to find a resolution of this in the third track is what goes on in ukraine itself but what is important about the un tract is that it demonstrates to him that it demonstrates to him that he is becoming a pariah. he's gone overboard. that an ex colonial state in africa is as offended as a western european country as these global values on which the second world war system is built i threaten phase behaviour so it will not change the course of the conflict in the short term but it is going to show russian citizens as well as the president that the president is a pariah. is president that the president is a ariah. , ., ,, ., president that the president is a ariah. , . ,, ., ,, ., a pariah. is absurd that russia has a permanent _ a pariah. is absurd that russia has a permanent seat - a pariah. is absurd that russia has a permanent seat on - a pariah. is absurd that russia has a permanent seat on the l has a permanent seat on the security council? we've been discussing this for decades about how that needs to change.

is also quite troubled by this kind of, if you like ball iveco, russia which is not a strong economy, whose gains come from disrupting stability. now they are together they may stay together but there is not a mutuality of interest as people might think. thank you forjoining _ people might think. thank you forjoining us— people might think. thank you forjoining us here _ people might think. thank you forjoining us here on - people might think. thank you forjoining us here on the - forjoining us here on the programme. football's world governing body and your�*s governing body and your�*s governing body and suspended russian clubs and national teams from all competitions. it means russian men's team will not play their world cup play—offs next month and the women's team have been banned from the european championship as well. plenty more in other stories on this bulletin on the

website. see you soon. hello there. monday was a bit grey, wasn't it, for many of us, with outbreaks of rain at times. in fact, this is leek in staffordshire, and a fairly typical shot through monday afternoon. as the rain eased, it turned quite misty and murky. and the rain is sitting across the far south east as we speak, but it is allowing this area of high pressure to build in behind. so, quite a contrast with the feel of the weather first thing tuesday morning. perhaps lows down to —3 where we keep those clear skies, but where the cloud and the rain lingers, it will be a relatively mild start, 7—8, maybe even nine degrees. there will be some outbreaks of showery rain to begin with across the far south coast, but as we go

through the afternoon, that rain may welljust nudge a little bit further north. so, if we draw a line from the bristol channel over to the wash, outbreaks of rain quite possible. further north, after that chilly start, that's where we'll keep the sunshine through scotland, northern ireland, northern england. highs generally between 8—10 celsius. now, that weather front actually drifts its way steadily north and east. a little ridge of high pressure builds in, though, across scotland, so it does look likely that first thing on wednesday morning, could be quite a chilly start here. again, “4, —5 degrees not out of the question. where we keep that cloud and rain, it will be relatively mild, but again a grey, drab start to wednesday. that cloud will continue to push its way steadily northwards throughout the day, perhaps brightening up a little in the south. but top temperatures through the afternoon between 7—11 degrees. there's more rain to come moving in from the west, as you can see. that weather front will gradually drift its way steadily eastwards, so it is going to bring some outbreaks of rain with it from the west on thursday and a freshening wind for a time once the rain moves through. so, it may well start off dry in sheltered eastern areas. not set to last. the cloud and the outbreaks of rain will start to move in from the west throughout the day.

temperatures once again ranging from around 7—12 degrees. now, once we've got thursday out of the way, fingers crossed, it looks likely that the weather story will quieten down just a little with an area of high pressure building in. so, just in time for the start of the weekend. so, as we move through friday, potentially into saturday, it's drier, settled, with some springlike sunshine to look forward to. take care.
