good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. our headlines today... satellite pictures show a huge russian miliary convoy — around a0 miles long — advancing on the ukrainian capital, kyiv. the ukrainian president volodmyr zelensky says the bombardment of kharkiv amounts to a "war crime." fleeing the fighting — the un says that more than half a million ukrainians have left their homes since the russian invasion began. and are you here with all yourfamily? no, it's only me. i left my family in ukraine because they were like, at least we have to save someone.

we are liable morning at one of the many community organisations where people are desperate to offer practical help and support and above all solidarity with the people of ukraine. the sporting sanctions continue for russia. football's governing bodies fifa and uefa have suspended them from all competitions until further notice. the biggest railfare rise in nearly a decade. millions of train passengers in england and wales face a big jump in ticket prices this morning. i'll have all the details. a cold and frosty start to the day across england, northern ireland and scotland. maintaining turning heavier during the day. all the details throughout the programme. —— the rain turning heavier. it's tuesday 1st march. our main story. president zelensky has condemned

russia's bombardment of ukraine's second largest city, kharkiv, as a "war crime." dozens of people have been killed by missile strikes and mr zelensky said there were eyewitness accounts of civilians being deliberately targeted. we are going to bring you up—to—date with the very latest on the programme this morning. lots of people based in ukraine and we will be speaking to a number of political guests as well. russia is attacking ukraine on several fronts, and new satellite pictures released by a us technology firm show that a military convoy advancing on kyiv is around a0 miles long. you might have seen last night it was thought to be around 17 miles long. new satellite footage shows it to be a0 miles in length. 0ur correspondent, james reynolds reports. the scale of what ukraine may face next is shown in these satellite photos. this is a russian military convoy — made up of tanks,

armoured vehicles, artillery. it's reported to be a0 miles long, and it's currently around 20 miles northwest of ukraine's capital, kyiv. a staging ground if russia moves to put the city under siege. at night in the capital, ukrainian fighters try to hold their ground. but the cost to soldiers and civilians is rising. paulina was in the final year of primary school in kyiv. officials say that she and her parents were shot dead by a russian sabotage group on a city street. her brother and sister were taken to hospital. in these first few days of the invasion, ukraine has had some success against russia's early tactics. but how long can this last? the president appeals for the west to enforce a no fly zone. i believe that the complete closure

of the sky for russian missiles, planes and helicopters should be considered. ukraine's second city, kharkiv, has come under russian assault. this video appears to show what may be a cluster munitions strike in a residential area. it's a weapon which is banned by many countries. some don't dare to wait for the missiles to fall. in the western city of lviv, there is a crush to board trains to poland and to safety. but men between the ages of 18 and 60 are banned from leaving the country. to them falls the duty of staying and fighting. james reynolds, bbc news. we're joined now by our kyiv

correspondent, james waterhouse. good to speak to you. let us know if you have been throughout the conflict, what has happened overnight. what is the situation this morning. it overnight. what is the situation this morning-— overnight. what is the situation this morning. overnight. what is the situation this morninu. , ., ., . this morning. it has been allowed a niuht. we this morning. it has been allowed a night- we had _ this morning. it has been allowed a night- we had a _ this morning. it has been allowed a night. we had a number— this morning. it has been allowed a night. we had a number of- this morning. it has been allowed a night. we had a number of air - this morning. it has been allowed a night. we had a number of air raid | night. we had a number of air raid sirens as well as an explosion built to be caused by a missile, this time, in the past we had seen at just over the horizon, you could detect it by sound. this time the sky was lit up. we could see the explosion for ourselves. it caused the walls to vibrate and down we headed. thousands in the city has spent the night underground. we wake this morning to one raid siren. things are calm for now. western officials think the russian advance has been slowed for now partly due to the resistance that is being put

up to the resistance that is being put up and partly because the russians are waiting for back—up to arrive. we have seen those worrying satellite images, the a0 mile long armoured convoy heading this way. their concern is from the west that russia will start to use more indiscriminate... shell fire and artillery strikes more indiscriminately. like what we have seenin indiscriminately. like what we have seen in kharkiv where dozens have died, death figure is almost certainly going to be higher. 70 ukrainian soldiers are reported to have been killed and in a small city russia is launching a ground assault. this invasion has been slowed. the west says russia has underestimated the willingness of ukrainians to fight and how well supplied they are. they have apparently been very good at ambushing advance troops by surprise

stop the concern is about more indiscriminate fire and a numbers game, the fact that kyiv will be surrounded very soon. the question is how long they can hold out for and whether they can prevail or not. yesterday you were telling us the curfew was broken around about this time people were able in kyiv to go into the streets and buy food for the first time. i wonder what they're feeling yesterday when you see the a0 mile long convoy heading to the city. is there a sense of foreboding and real concern this morning? it foreboding and real concern this mornin: ? , foreboding and real concern this morninu? , , ., foreboding and real concern this morninu? . morning? it is constant concern. peo - le morning? it is constant concern. peeple gather— morning? it is constant concern. people gather around _ morning? it is constant concern. people gather around the - morning? it is constant concern. i people gather around the television to watch the local news channel. you see those images and what is going on. we went for a short walk yesterday, under supervision, as you can imagine. the most striking thing is how different he added. when you

move inside a bunker, a makeshift bunker, a metro station, you re—emerge and come out and it is quiet. the friendly faces of the four unknown more. people are on edge. you see people with distinctive yellow armbands walking around. use the queues in supermarkets. shops having problems with staff and stock stop you have the weight, the images you see on tv and you wonder if you are going to see those images here very soon. the next few hours of the to be significant but we have said that before, haven't we?— significant but we have said that before, haven't we? thanks for the u date. we will be speaking to james throughout the morning on bbc breakfast. slovakia has a 100—kilometre long border with ukraine, which thousands of refugees, mainly women and children, are continuing to cross as they seek safety from the violence. 0ur correspondent, rob cameron, joins us from

the slovakian—ukraine border this morning. yes i am border the largest of the three border crossing slovakia has on its border with ukraine. i have been here since thursday, five days now. these little border crossings that usually get so little traffic had been transformed. this one has had been transformed. this one has had something of a transformation overnight. we were here yesterday and it was pretty much an improvised affair, it felt like some workers at affair, it felt like some workers at a bazaar with people running around freely, around tents and coming and going. now it is much more organised. the slovak state is moving in to take control of the situation. these metal railings behind me were not here yesterday and they are now in place to stream ukrainian refugees and others, people from other parts of the world

who are coming into slovakia and seeking help. who are coming into slovakia and seeking help-— who are coming into slovakia and seekin. hel_ . ., ., , . , seeking help. what are the prospects for any more — seeking help. what are the prospects for any more help _ seeking help. what are the prospects for any more help coming _ seeking help. what are the prospects for any more help coming in - seeking help. what are the prospects for any more help coming in over - seeking help. what are the prospects for any more help coming in over the | for any more help coming in over the next few days? in for any more help coming in over the next few days?— next few days? in fact the aid a . encies next few days? in fact the aid agencies that _ next few days? in fact the aid agencies that are _ next few days? in fact the aid agencies that are working - next few days? in fact the aid l agencies that are working here next few days? in fact the aid - agencies that are working here on the border in slovakia have issued an appeal to say, stop ringing us food. ringing as water, we have enough of that. we do not need nappies and wipes, what we need our blankets because it is bitterly cold here on the border. we are on the plains near the carpe diem mountains and it is winter here and very cold. people are wrapped in blankets and shivering against the cold. there is also they say a need for medical care as well. a lot of ambulances around me and a lot of people dressed in hi vis jackets, people who belong to emergency services and

charities, the red cross are here providing medical help and medical assistance to people who in many cases have been queueing in the cold, walking for days. amongst them, many women and many children. thanks very much indeed. diplomatic efforts to support ukraine and isolate russia continue today, as the prime minister travels to poland to meet nato leaders, while foreign secretary liz truss is due to address a meeting of the united nations human rights council. let's speak now to our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. lots to process this morning. adam, what are they hoping to achieve today? liz truss is going to geneva to talk to a human rights body. she will be making the case that what putin is doing in ukraine as breach of human rights on an industrial scale is the phrase she will use. the reason she is doing that is to put another plank in the argument against what

russia is doing, may be to strengthen the resolve of the few other countries that have not been quite so aggressive in their condemnation yet, making it less a political diplomatic military thing and making it more universal human right thing. in an ideal world the uk would like to get a resolution with the united nations condemning russia even further. in terms about the prime minister is doing there are two bits to his international travel today. he will finish the day in estonia visiting british troops as part of the nato mission. they are there to deter russian aggression. he will start the day in poland talking to politicians and leaders there, offering support for the humanitarian situation because hundreds of thousands of ukrainians are crossing into poland to escape the conflict. that will raise questions about what the uk is doing

to help that situation. there is quite a lot of pressure from the government from opposition parties in parliament and quite a lot of conservative mps, more and more are signing a letter to this effects in the uk are 30 ukrainians fleeing their home country should be far more generous. at the moment it only applies to immediate family members in ukraine of ukrainians or british people in the uk. the definition of immediate family member is much more narrow in the law than many people would think. i think that pressure will build. priti patel has dropped lots of hints there could be further developments in that area in the next day or two. we had guests all over the place trying to bring you as much information as we can. now for the weather. ,., ., ., �*

community centre and now it has turned into a warehouse. have a look at the items that have been donated, loads of toiletries. stacks of baby nappies, tonnes of medicines, aspirins buy paracetamol, elastoplast. the united nations reckons that so far 368,000 people have left ukraine, 150,000 of that number have perhaps already gone to poland. it is really cold right now. lots of people have donated duvets, sleeping bags, blankets. here a huge bag of hats, gloves and scarves. people are desperate to help. lots of people have been turning up at the jewels and gatherings across the country. last night we spent time at one in sheffield. it was cold and dark and raining. a few hundred people offering solidarity to ukraine and the way ukrainians amongst them with heartbreaking

stories. here is my cousin. we live just two blocks away from where the bombs landed two hours ago. 1,500 miles away from sheffield, tanya's family were last night under fire. vitale's family too. this is my dad here. this is my mum. my mum is definitely hiding in the basement under our flat. my dad is staying in a country house and trying to stay safe as well but i'm really worried about them. my children with their grandmothers. and on monday, russian troops finally arrived in dennis's hometown. they ask them, "we don't want you to be here because it is- ukraine and we want you to leave." so they're going up to the russian troops on the street today saying, "please leave." we don't want you to be here. we are free right now. we don't need to be freed. scrolling through urgent text messages, dennis and tanya showed just how desperate the last five days have been. my dad to me, "putin

has started the war." two minutes later, explosions, tanya, explosions. i think they've bombed storage and railway. tanya's dad, pavlo, has spent the last ten years of retirement growing vegetables and searching out the finest wild mushrooms of kyiv. yesterday, in text messages to his daughter, he said he is willing to risk everything to defend his country. i passed by the army recruitment 0ffice. tanya, i have a car and i can drive them when its light. my dad signed up to recruitment. yeah, he went to a recruitment office and signed up. he's 7a. i feel for you. thank you. that's your dad. you kind of... you're proud and scared. and terrified all at the same time. yes, yes. to show this, a couple of messages... 0n dennis's phone, he shows me

the messages sent by his parents, but quickly deleted. and my parents, they just send me pictures. here, the place we hidden all the documents. here are our photos. just so you know, if anything happened, you can find it here. and they removed it after this, so nobody else can find out. that just must strike fear in your heart. yeah, yeah. i'm really worried about my family. vitale's mother has sent him a photo of her new bed on the floor in her hall. and the windows are out because she's afraid that if bombings happened, l the explosion wave can knock the windows out. _ and reading through his messages, there is one which stands out. everything is going to be ok, i love you. _ which is such an unusual thing for him to say. - i know i'm his son and he's my dad, but he's not an emotional person. l | he said he woke up to the whole| house shaking, windows shaking,

and he heard gunfire and shelling. and he panicked so much that he thought this - is the end for him. and so he texted me, _ he texted my mum, and he texted my brother, that he loves us just because he thought- that we should know before he... yeah. and that's how... and that's the first... that's how i got the news i that russia invaded ukraine. tanya tells me she has no regret that no military support has been offered on the ground. i don't think your children should be dying for my parents. but this support shown on a rainy, cold night in sheffield is a comfort. it's really... it's really powerful. it's helping. is it? yeah, yeah, because... sorry.

much more on the situation coming up throughout the programme. households across the uk are already feeling the impact of the cost of living squeeze and, from today, commuters will also be hit with the highest train price rises in nearly a decade. sorry, everybody. if you are hoping for something a little more cheerful. 3.8% is what rail fares are increasing from today, the highest rise since 2013, almost a decade. what that translates to depend on yourjourney. an annual season ticket between manchester and liverpool goes at £105 to £2865. what about a return journey? an annual season ticket between liverpool to manchester goes up £105 to £2,865. what about return journeys?

well, an off peak return liverpool to london goes up £3.60 to £98.10 and that adds up if you're taking that route often. it isa it is a big rise but nowhere near inflation is at the moment. they said they had delayed the increases because of the rising costs of living and recovering from the pandemic. they say they invested money in the railway when they were not making money during the pandemic. row group say ordinary people are feeling the squeeze like never before but the government is stoking the fire for the cost of living with these rising prices. we know there will be upward pressure as a result. 3.8%. are your wages going up by that much? probably not. businesses say this will have

nothing —— do nothing to help foot for. this will feed into a much wider conversation about what we want public transport networks to be. do we want the government to be talking about lending money or more investment to have a much more comprehensive system with lower prices and if we do, are we willing to pay for it with more taxes? certainly pay more from today- — time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. so there's a tube strike on. it began at midnight, and goes through until the end of tonight. transport for london is warning of severe disruption across all tube lines. the strike is by rmt union members over proposed changes to pensions and a cut in station staff. another strike is planned for thursday, and this is the advice

from transport for london. for customers who can, i'd strongly recommend that they work at home. for others who do need to make journeys — and i understand that some travel is absolutely essential — i'd recommend customers check, either on our website, tfl website, or the tfl go app for their other options, their best options, using other modes of transport. so let's take a look at the tube board now. and as you see, virtually all lines are completely suspended. it's going to be like that all day. however, the dlr, tram service, tfl rail and some of the 0verground are fairing better, because they're not part of the london underground. but do check before you travel today. on twitter it @bbctravel alert, or look out our website, bbc.co.uk/london. london actor benedict cumberbatch

has been honoured with a star on the hollywood walk of fame. he joins the likes of marlon brando and david bowie. he used the unveiling to pay tribute to his sister tracey, who died last year of cancer. he also drew attention to the crisis in ukraine. cumberbatch, who grew up in kensington and chelsea, is currently shortlisted for a best actor oscar for his role in power of the dog. 0nto the weather now with kate. good morning. it is the first day of meteorological spring today, but we are not going to enjoy too much in the way of spring sunshine. you can see these fronts bringing more rain. quite a damp night. still rain this morning. quite misty and foggy out there as well. the front then reverses back and brings some heavy, more extensive rain through the afternoon. quite breezy too. temperatures today reaching 11 celsius. overnight tonight, we are going to hang onto this rain. again, some heavier bursts mixed in. it stays wet throughout, becoming quite murky as we head

through to wednesday morning. still quite breezy too. the minimum temperature of six celsius. tomorrow, we've still got a front heading towards us. that will bring patchy outbreaks of light rain. not quite as extensive as today, but it's still rather damp, still quite murky first thing tomorrow, and a keen south easterly breeze. temperatures tomorrow getting up to a maximum of 10 celsius. as we head further through the week, for thursday, we still could see some patchy light rain, but becoming drier. high pressure building for the weekend means we should see settled conditions. vanessa feltz has the breakfast show on bbc radio london from seven, with the latest on the tube strike. there are also travel updates every 15 minutes. i'm back with the latest in half an hour. i hope you canjoin me then. hello, this is breakfast

with sally nugent and dan walker. let's get up to date with everything that has been happening overnight in ukraine. james reynolds is here to run through the details. and i know this is a place you know well? i and i know this is a place you know well? ii' and i know this is a place you know well? ::' . well? i went there in 2014. that, for ukrainians, _ well? i went there in 2014. that, for ukrainians, was _ well? i went there in 2014. that, for ukrainians, was the - well? i went there in 2014. that, | for ukrainians, was the beginning well? i went there in 2014. that, i for ukrainians, was the beginning of this conflict — for ukrainians, was the beginning of this conflict with russia. i don't this conflict with russia. idon't think— this conflict with russia. i don't think anyone imagined it would get to this _ think anyone imagined it would get to this particular state. this is the state of ukraine six days into the invasion. you can see the areas occupied by russia here in the south, east, and north. in the first few days, ukrainian forces have had some success in pushing russia's forces back. but this may simply mean that russia changes tactic and intensifies its own offensive, particularly here around the capital kyiv. let me show you how russia may do this. this is what we have been talking about _ this is what we have been talking about this — this is what we have been talking about this morning. this is a russian military convoy. it's stationed about 20 miles north

west of the capital. these satellite photos show that it's 40 miles long. there are tanks and armoured vehicles — there are tanks and armoured vehicles in _ there are tanks and armoured vehicles in that convoy. this convoy could be used as a staging ground for an attack on the capital. a similar tactic could be used in kharkiv. this morning, 70 ukrainian servicemen have been killed in russian shelling in the town of 0khtyrka, according to their regional governer. in the south, russia wants to create a land corridor. it has also taken the port city of berdiansk. these are recent pictures we have from berdiansk, which show russian tanks on the move. if they move another 50 kilometres, they will— if they move another 50 kilometres, they will move to mariupol and create — they will move to mariupol and create that land corridor. russia has an advantage in numbers. this morning, we've seen reports that the russian army are on the outskirts of the southern city of kherson. many ukrainians will

be extremely worried. the only logical escape route is west towards east european countries which are in both the european union and nato, under the umbrella of protection of the west. many take the train from this city, lviv, towards poland. these are our latest pictures from the train station, where families are separated. the refugee crisis is the most intense week of human flight within europe's borders since at least the balkan wars of the 1990s. the united nations says it is preparing for up to four million refugees from ukraine in the coming days and weeks. this route is also vital in the other direction. that's because this is the supply line for ukraine to get its weapons and its volunteers. as the invasion progresses, russia may want to use its ally belarus to push on down and cut off this route. that's how things look this morning. incredible images of that convoy. a0

przemysl station in poland, a few miles from the ukrainian border, has seen refugees from its neighbours before. few likely expected to see quite so many again. so, the platform is full right to the very end of people just waiting to be processed, mainly women, children, some elderly as well. some of them have been travelling for up to a week. and one thing they all have in common, as well as being angry and resolute and proud of their forces, is that they've left family behind. is your husband with you? no, he left in ukraine. he's military, and he defends, obviously, to kyiv. he's fighting? yes, he's fighting every day. you must be so worried about him? sure. but i understand that he has, he must do this for us, for our children, and many men. and they are doing it with pleasure, with dignity. and they, they...

..are doing all this for us. how long would it normally take you to get here from lviv? two hours. and it's taken you 18? yes, exactly. and are you here with all yourfamily? no, it's only me. i left my family in ukraine, because they were like, "at least we have to save someone." how old are you? i'm 19. you're 19. 19. and all the rest of your family, your mum, your dad...? mum, dad, sister and younger brother. what do you think of vladimir putin? when you think of him, what do you think of him? if i see him right now, i will kill him with my own hands. with your own hands? my own hands. because you cannot be that bad in 2022. there aren't many men who get off the trains, because most of the men aren't allowed to leave. and their wives, mums and kids have endured journeys in horrendous conditions for days.

because there was no toilet, for the kids? 0rder amid the chaos. in no small part, as a result of the extraordinary charity from poles, local and far, and so many others in europe's east, who've known the strength of the russian boot. that's amazing. you don't even know this lady. you don't even know this lady and you're going to drive her all the way to prague? why? why are you doing it? you wouldn't think that there could be much goodness at przemyl�*s station right now. but there is, and isn't

the only thing to surprise. now, you might think this is a queue to get to a train further away from ukraine, but it's not. this is actually the queue for the train to lviv, the train going back into ukraine, and the queue is enormous. you might think, well, what's all that about? well, some of them are journalists, inevitably. some of them are men, a lot of men who are going back to ukraine to fight, people who live in poland or from further afield, and they feel obliged. and some are women whose kids are here in ukraine, and they're having to go back and try and fetch them. you're on the sort of girls' week away or something, to spain? yes, ourfamilies still in ukraine, in kyiv, in 0desa, in lviv. so we want to go back home. we don't want to run away from ukraine. it's terrible. it's — i can't even express what i feel when i understand that my child is 2,000 kilometres from me, and i see them in spain. it's sunny, it's very comfortable.

and in ukraine its war. it's awful. there's a steady stream of men here, ukrainians from all around the world, going tojoin their brothers in arms. this ukrainian man, who speaks polish and lives in poland, asked us not to show his face. are you scared? are you frightened ? you're prepared to die? he was accompanied to the station by a pole and a friend. of course, of course. he's basically dropping his friend off, who he knows,

who is going to fight, that we just spoke to, in ukraine. but he's overcome with emotion, because he's saying goodbye to him and he knows it could well be for the last time. twilight, and another train from lviv pulls in. there's not a breath of space. and these are the lucky ones. most from central and eastern ukraine can't even get close. none expected to be here. and but for the intrigues of one man's mind, they wouldn't be. but they must live with what is, and lament the country — and family — that for who knows how long, they've lost. pretty powerful. we can go to lviv in western ukraine now, and speak to bel trew, who is the international correspondent for the independent. she's been speaking to refugees trying to cross the border into poland. we can see it is very busy behind you. give us an idea of what you see there this morning? this

moment. new information all the time. as soon as we have new information we will bring it to you. james ——jane information we will bring it to you. james —— jane with us on the sofa. it is the sanctions against russia leading the way in the sports news. absolutely. there have been strong moves from the international football community. initially it seemed they would allow russia to compete in international competitions, just under a new name. that is not the case now. russia will not be taking place —— part in any competitions. it sends a very clear message to the russian public. russia has been suspended indefinitely by football's world governing body fifa, which means the country that hosted the last world cup in 2018, has now been banned from this year's tournament in qatar. so russia, as it stands, now won't play poland in this month's world cup qualifying play—offs. poland had been one of many nations,

including england, who said they'd refuse to play them in any international match. it follows a change of approach from fifa, who had initially said russia could still play, but without using their flag or national anthem, and calling themselves the football union of russia. the first senior tournament finals this ruling will affect is the women's euros. this summer's competition, which starts injuly and will be held in england, will now no longer include russia, who had qualified and been placed in group c, with sweden, switzerland and the netherlands. well, this ruling hasn'tjust affected international teams. last night, spartak moscow were thrown out of the europa league, and their knockout opponents, germany's rb leipzig, were given a bye into the quarterfinals. the russian club tweeted that the decision was upsetting and they hope for a speedy achievement of peace. so football has finally united to exclude russia

from the game — now the pressure is on the international olympic committee to do the same at the winter paralympics, which start on friday. at the moment, they can compete under the name of the russian olympic committee, but one former paralympian thinks it's time to throw them out completely. it's getting increasingly difficult for any russian athletes to be able to compete at the paralympics. in the last 2a hours, world governing bodies are coming out with stronger statements and, you know, when fifa and the ioc are saying russian should be banned, then it feels like the ipc should be making a similar statement. returning to football, manchester city's ukranian midfielder 0leksandr zinchenko was visibly emotional on the pitch at the weekend. his manager pep guardiola says despite that, he intends to pick him for their fa cup match tonight. city play peterborough united in the fifth round at the championship side's west homes arena. zinchenko was an unused substitute at goodison park, but guardiola has confirmed

the 25—year—old will play. i think it will be good for him to play, and show the reason why he is here — he's a magnificent player — to play football. it's one game, it's a final. of course, they are not in the best position in the championship, but it's nothing. so, yeah, we will prepare well. we will prepare well today, tomorrow, to go through and get to the quarter finals. away from the crisis in ukraine, leeds united have confirmed the appointment ofjesse marsch as their new manager, following the sacking of marcelo bielsa on sunday. the american has been out of work since leaving german side rb leipzig in december, but has also coached the new york red bull and red bull salzburg. leeds are currently 16th in the premier league table, but are only two points above the relegation zone, following a run of heavy defeats.

and you will be in the dugout on saturday when they play leicester. thank you. labour is calling for clarity around the details of visa rules which would allow ukrainians to seek sanctuary in the uk. the party says changes announced by the home secretary are unclear and confusing. let's speak to shadow defence ministerjohn healey. morning. iam morning. i am just going to start first of all, i know last week you were in a photograph taken with other members of the labour party, colleagues of yours, it we stand united photo, standing with the government on the current situation in ukraine, putting on a very united front. how disappointing is it for you that sir keir starmer has to warn members of your own party to be united at this point? i(eir warn members of your own party to be united at this point?— united at this point? keir starmer leads the party. _ united at this point? keir starmer leads the party, he _ united at this point? keir starmer leads the party, he speaks - united at this point? keir starmer leads the party, he speaks for - leads the party, he speaks for labour, — leads the party, he speaks for labour, he is supported by people like me _

good morning from bbc london. there's a tube strike on. it began at midnight and goes through until the end of tonight. transport for london is warning of "severe disruption" across all tube lines. the strike is by rmt union members — over proposed changes to pensions — and a cut in station staff. another strike is planned for thursday, and this is the advice from transport for london. for customers who can, i'd strongly recommend that they work at home. for others who do need to make journeys — and i understand that some travel is absolutely essential — i'd recommend customers check, either on our website, tfl website, or the tfl go app for their other options, their best options, using other modes of transport. so let's take a look at the tube board now. and as you see, virtually all lines are completely suspended. it's going to be like that all day.

to save someone. russian football clubs and national teams are suspended from all competitions. the sport's governing bodies fifa and uefa took the decision, following the country's invasion of ukraine. good morning. a cold and frosty start to the day—to—day across northern ireland, northern england and scotland. you will have a sunny day in prospect. for southern england and wales a lot more cloud and light rain which will turn heavier as we go through the day. all the details throughout the rest of the morning �*s show. it's tuesday 1st march. our main story. president zelensky has condemned russia's bombardment of ukraine's second largest city, kharkiv, as a "war crime." dozens of people have been killed by missile strikes and mr zelensky said there were eyewitness accounts of civilians being deliberately targeted. russia is attacking ukraine on several fronts, and new satellite pictures released

by a us technology firm show that a military convoy advancing on kyiv is around a0 miles long. 0ur correspondent, james reynolds reports. the scale of what ukraine may face next is shown in these satellite photos. this is a russian military convoy — made up of tanks, armoured vehicles, artillery. it's reported to be a0 miles long, and it's currently around 20 miles northwest of ukraine's capital, kyiv. a staging ground if russia moves to put the city under siege. at night in the capital, ukrainian fighters try to hold their ground. but the cost to soldiers and civilians is rising. paulina was in the final year of primary school in kyiv. officials say that she and her parents were shot dead by a russian sabotage group on a city street.

her brother and sister were taken to hospital. in these first few days of the invasion, ukraine has had some success against russia's early tactics. but how long can this last? the president appeals for the west to enforce a no fly zone. i believe that the complete closure of the sky for russian missiles, planes and helicopters should be considered. ukraine's second city, kharkiv, has come under russian assault. this video appears to show what may be a cluster munitions strike in a residential area. it's a weapon which is banned by many countries. some don't dare to wait for the missiles to fall. in the western city of lviv,

there is a crush to board trains to poland and to safety. but men between the ages of 18 and 60 are banned from leaving the country. to them falls the duty of staying and fighting. james reynolds, bbc news. sanctions imposed on russia have led to sharp falls in its currency, and the closure of the main stock market — putting increasing pressure on the country's economy. 0ur europe correspondentjenny hill joins us from moscow. first of all i want to ask you what the moody's this morning. people here are really _ the moody's this morning. people here are really concerned, - the moody's this morning. people here are really concerned, i - the moody's this morning. people | here are really concerned, i think. there is no panic in the streets. your average russian has yet i think to notice the effect of sanctions. there have been a few queues at cashpoints but every day brings more news. disney will not release any

more films and fifa and uefa are suspending russia from international tournaments and so on. then the increasing concern about what is happening in ukraine. state television tends to pump out the line at the kremlin, it is not an invasion, you do not see pictures of what is going on in and around kyiv, for example, uc pictures of eastern ukraine. the kremlin say it is not a war or an attack and it is a mission to save the russian speaking populations of eastern ukraine from what the kremlin describes as the genocidal ambitions of the government in kyiv. not everyone in russia really understands or sees what is actually happening in ukraine. those who do of course are really concerned. correspondence on state tv are upbeat about progress and they say the southern city of mariupol will be encircled by

russian troops today. that echoes the lines we get from the defence ministry. we do not hear about casualties among russian troops, for example, we hear this is going very well and forces are continuing to take more and more cities. with regard to peace negotiations, there is not a great cause for optimism this morning. we had positive signs yesterday from both sides in that they had agreed potentially to meet again. one memberfrom the russian delegation said there are potential points upon which agreement can be reached but there in mind that moscow is still insisting this will is not a war and vladimir putin has said the only way for conflict to be result is if ukraine is demilitarised and turned into what he calls a neutral country. and he has added a new demand that the world needs to recognise crimea which russia annexed into thousand 1a as russia will stop

earlier we spoke to our kyiv correspondent, james waterhouse, who brought us up to date with what's happened there overnight. we heard a number of air raid sirens last night, as well as an explosion thought to be caused by a missile. in the past week seeing it just over the horizon, you could detect it by sound. this time the sky was lit up. we could see the explosion for ourselves. it causes the walls to vibrate. down we headed, us, along with thousands of others in the city spent the night underground. we woke up this morning to one and read siren but things are calm for now. the reason being that western officials think the russian

advance has been slowed, for now, partly due to the resistance that has been put up and partly because the russians are waiting for back—up to arrive. we have seen is worrying satellite images, about a0 miles long armoured convoy heading this way. the concern is from the west that russia will start to use more indiscriminate shellfire and artillery strikes more indiscriminately, like what we have seen where dozens are thought to have died, the figure is most certainly going to be higher. we have seen military air bases in the north being attacked, called where 70 ukrainian soldiers are reported to have been killed. then there is the small city of kherson to the south, where russia is launching a ground assault. this full—scale invasion has been slowed. the west says russia has underestimated the willingness of ukrainians to fight and how well supplied they are. they have apparently been very good at ambushing advancing troops by surprise but the concern is about that more indiscriminate fire and the numbers game,

the fact that kyiv is going to be surrounded very soon. the question is, how long they can hold out for and whether they can prevail or not. slovakia has a 100—kilometre long border with ukraine, which thousands of refugees, mainly women and children, are continuing to cross as they seek safety from the violence. 0ur correspondent rob cameron joins us from uzhhorod, along the slovakian—ukraine border this morning. good morning. this is the largest border crossing on the slovakian border crossing on the slovakian border with ukraine and the steady stream of refugees from the conflict continues to arrive. we keep seeing the same scene again and again. small groups of mostly women accompanied by children walking from the border post, past the eight tents and the tense authorities have put up with people handing out tea

and coffee, giving them bags of toys for their children. sometimes they are met by relatives. part of the huge ukrainian diaster in central and eastern europe. sometimes they are met by drivers, taxi drivers, put into vans and minibuses and taken on to stay with relatives and friends living in slovakia, the czech republic, poland, hungary and romania. those who do not have a family are being accommodated in towns and villages that are dotted around this region. we should not forget many people arriving at the moment are not ukrainian. there are thousands of foreign students in ukraine and migrant workers from all over the world. i have spoken to people from ghana and palestine. he does not know where he will go now and when he can get home.

diplomatic efforts to support ukraine and isolate russia continue today — as the prime minister travels to poland to meet nato leaders. foreign secretary liz truss is due to address a meeting of the united nations human rights council. let's speak now to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. they have a lot of work to do today. liz truss is going to geneva and she will accuse russia of an industrial scale breach of demon rights, designed to get even more condemnation. also to get united nations resolution condemning russia. it sounds like british diplomat are toying with calling to get russia expelled from the security council. that would be quite an extraordinary bit of diplomatic theatre if that happened. the plane of the prime minister is taking off for poland where he will

give a speech about the grave implications for the international political system if putin is allowed to get away with it. he will talk about a need for further sanctions and restrictions on russian business and restrictions on russian business and he will be explicit for the british people it will come with economic cost, for example higher energy bills. also talk about ukraine being an historic centre of slavic civilisation in europe, almost like a counter to nsa president putin wrote last year where he was trying to recreate the soviet union geographically. then the prime minister will travel to estonia to visit british troops helping with the nato mission there. it now feels like the front line in a war with russia. back home, while the foreign secretary and prime minister are awake and there will be growing pulls for the uk's route for ukrainians who want to come to the

uk to be more generous. at the moment it only applies to the immediate family members are people already in the uk, whether they are british or ukrainian. the legal definition of immediate family member is much tighter than many families would feel, it only applies to certain people rather than lots of relatives. to certain people rather than lots of relatives-— to certain people rather than lots of relatives. . ,, , ., , . some other stories to bring you away from ukraine this morning. the biggest increase to railfares in england and wales in nearly a decade comes into effect today. the rise of 3.8% is the biggest for nine years and affects around a0% of fares, including season tickets on most commuter routes. the changes were due to come into effect injanuary, but were delayed because of the pandemic. transport for london says there's likely to be no service on the underground today — or on thursday — because of a strike overjobs, pensions and conditions. around 10,000 london

underground workers are expected to walk out, with services disrupted on wednesday and friday too. the action is separate to the ongoing night tube strikes over rotas. severe weather continues to hit eastern australia, with one town, north of sydney, preparing for what's been described as "a once—in—500—years flood". the intense rain and record—breaking floods have killed eight people. a river in the northern new south wales town of lismore has broken its banks and in queensland, the brisbane river is flooding, causing extensive damage. southend—on—sea will officially become a city today. achieving city status was a long term ambition of the area's former mp sir david amess and was promised after he was killed in october. prince charles will deliver a speech and a new electric train for the famous pier — named after sir david — will also be unveiled. it is fast approaching 7:15am. let's

step—by—step command and control process. having done that and made that he is clearly intending to frighten ukraine, he is intending to frighten ukraine, he is intending to frighten nato allies. what we have to do in response is so vitally important in terms of results and communicating what sort of response, in terms of being very clear and sending very clear messages to the russian people. in sending very clear messages to the russian people-— sending very clear messages to the russian people. in your experience, how often has _ russian people. in your experience, how often has this _ russian people. in your experience, how often has this type _ russian people. in your experience, how often has this type of _ how often has this type of escalation happened in the past and what normally happens to resolve it? not very fanatical. during the cold war there were moments of high level rhetoric. the cuban missile crisis was the very nearest we have got to this type of situation in the past. we have had a number of near misses, close schools over the years, mostly due to inadvertence, misinterpretation, miscalculation, which did not go to good use. we have to hope this will be one of

those situations which will be similar to that and we will be able to pull back from this very dangerous and reckless move on behalf of president putin.- dangerous and reckless move on behalf of president putin. when you sa the behalf of president putin. when you say the response — behalf of president putin. when you say the response has _ behalf of president putin. when you say the response has to _ behalf of president putin. when you say the response has to be - behalf of president putin. when you say the response has to be clear, i behalf of president putin. when you say the response has to be clear, in| say the response has to be clear, in terms of communication, how does that happen? fine terms of communication, how does that happen?— terms of communication, how does that ha en? ., , ., . , that happen? one of the provinces we could end with — that happen? one of the provinces we could end with president _ that happen? one of the provinces we could end with president putin - could end with president putin communicating to the russian people that nato is intending to use nuclear weapons against them. if he were to say let's respond in kind by which is something we could have done during the cold war, if that were to happen now, it would be used to propagate propaganda that president putin is putting out about nato countries. it is really important to communicate to the russian people are responsibly conventional and under international law and it is the government that is threatening, an absolute threat against ukraine and against western

countries. , . ., ., countries. director for international - countries. director for international security | countries. director for i international security at countries. director for _ international security at chatham house. thank you. we are trying to bring you the very latest in what is happening in ukraine and in countries around ukraine. we have correspondence in many parts of the world. we're joined now by our kyiv correspondent james waterhouse. anyone who saw you on our guy will see you are dressed slightly differently. there have been various air raid sirens. give us an idea of how you and others are reacting. it isjust a city how you and others are reacting. it is just a city at the moment of varying risk, all the time. that has been the story for the last six days. an hour ago there were no air raid sirens, we could talk to you from roof. now we have had air raid

sirens and the growing threat of something larger scale. that is the expectation in the city for the russian advance. it has been slowed a few kilometres away. the worry is they are waiting for reinforcements. he has seen satellite images of a a0 mile long armoured convoy making its way towards the city. that is the concern. 0nce way towards the city. that is the concern. once they gather on the outskirts, what is concerned from the west what we will see is more indiscriminate shelling. what has happened in kharkiv has caused a lot of concern, cluster bombs reportedly being used in residential areas being used in residential areas being specifically targeted. reports of dozens being killed and that be higher. all while traffic is moving. for now it is a bit quiet. when the sirens how and getting louder, by the way. they are stationed around

the way. they are stationed around the city. they will give a more localised alert if there is a threat. you see armed volunteers in yellow with yellow ribbons around their arms and police vehicles running around. there are still people going for a walk and braiding the outside but there is still very much an unknown and what will happen next. as for the west, russia has been caught out by ukraine's willingness to fight and how well supplied it has been. they reported all the help it has had from western allies. the resistance ukraine has put up has been stiff. volunteers who have tried to defend their homes, as well as ukraine soldiers have been quite effective at ambushing russian attacks as they move in, taking them by surprise. there is a sizeable russian advance to the south. an assault has been

mounted on a city called kherson, where there is a ground attack as we speak. there are air attacks on military bases with 70 soldiers having been killed. people are making the most of a break in curfew but they are heading back down underground, after getting whatever food and drink they can. you cannot drink tap water here is a people are buying creates a bottled water. the nervous weights go on. —— buying crates of bottled water. nervous weights go on. -- buying crates of bottled water. interesting to net that crates of bottled water. interesting to get that level _ crates of bottled water. interesting to get that level of _ crates of bottled water. interesting to get that level of detail _ crates of bottled water. interesting to get that level of detail about - to get that level of detail about what is going on this morning. you have got access to international news and you are in contact with some of your colleagues, not only in ukraine but back here as well. i wonder how much communication has been about the satellite images you have been speaking about and others

thatis people underground. what eclipses that is someone's individual worry, the burden of what to do next, whether they are one of the half a million or so refugees, people displaced in this fighting and trying to get out of the country by any means possible. are they one of the thousands of people in kyiv streets currently sitting there waiting to find out what home they will find if and when they can get out of their shelters any time soon. thank you for bringing us the latest. do you say —— do you stay safe and take care of yourself. jane mccubbin is at a polish community centre full as. good morninu. community centre full as. good morning. people _ community centre full as. good morning. people are _ community centre full as. good morning. people are listening i community centre full as.

their best options, using other modes of transport. so let's take a look at the tube board now. and as you see, virtually all lines are completely suspended. it's going to be like that all day. however, the dlr, tram service, tfl rail and some of the 0verground are faring better, because they're not part of the london underground. but do check before you travel today. on twitter it @bbctravel alert, or look out our website, bbc.co.uk/london. london actor benedict cumberbatch has been honoured with a star on the hollywood walk of fame. he joins the likes of marlon brando and david bowie, and he used the unveiling to pay tribute to his sister tracey, who died last year of cancer. he also drew attention to the crisis in ukraine. cumberbatch, who grew up in kensington and chelsea, is currently shortlisted for a best actor oscar for his role in power of the dog.

0nto the weather now with kate. good morning. it is the first day of meteorological spring today, but we are not going to enjoy too much in the way of spring sunshine. you can see these fronts bringing more rain. quite a damp night. still rain this morning. quite misty and foggy out there as well. the front then reverses back and brings some heavy, more extensive rain through the afternoon. quite breezy too. temperatures today reaching 11 celsius. overnight tonight, we are going to hang onto this rain. again, some heavier bursts mixed in. it stays wet throughout, becoming quite murky as we head through to wednesday morning. still quite breezy too. the minimum temperature of six celsius. tomorrow, we've still got a front heading towards us. that will bring patchy outbreaks of light rain. not quite as extensive as today, but it's still rather damp, still quite murky first thing tomorrow, and a keen south easterly breeze. temperatures tomorrow getting up

to a maximum of 10 celsius. as we head further through the week, for thursday, we still could see some patchy light rain, but becoming drier. high pressure building for the weekend means we should see settled conditions. vanessa feltz has the breakfast show on bbc radio london with the latest on the tube strike. there are also travel updates every 15 minutes. i'm back with the latest in half an hour. i hope you canjoin me then. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. let's get up to date with everything that has been happening overnight in ukraine. james reynolds is here to run through the details. it isa it is a region you know really well? it is a region you know really well? i went there in 201a. in 2015, i went there in 2014. in 2015, covering _ i went there in 2014. in 2015, covering the start of the war, as it

turns— covering the start of the war, as it turns out — covering the start of the war, as it turns out. no ukrainians ever thought— turns out. no ukrainians ever thought it _ turns out. no ukrainians ever thought it would get to this. this is the state of ukraine six days into the invasion. you can see the areas occupied by russia here in the south, east, and north. in the first few days, ukrainian forces have had some success in pushing russia's forces back. but this may simply mean that russia changes tactic and intensifies its own offensive, particularly here around the capital kyiv. let me show you how russia may do this. this is the russian military convoy stationed about 20 miles north west of the capital. these satellite photos show that it's 40 miles long. this convoy could be used as a staging ground for an attack on the capital. a similar tactic could be used in kharkiv. this morning we've learnt that over 70 ukrainian servicemen were killed on sunday in russian shelling in the town

of 0khtyrka, according to their regional governor. these pictures are from the area on sunday. in the south, russia wants to create a land corridor. it has also taken the port city of berdiansk. these are recent pictures we have from berdiansk, which show russian tanks on the move. they want to move east to mariupol. russia has an advantage in numbers. this morning we've seen reports that the russian army are on the outskirt of the southern city of kherson. building up the present in the south of the _ building up the present in the south of the country, almost making that land reach — of the country, almost making that land reach to the east. many ukrainians will look at maps like this and — ukrainians will look at maps like this and will be extremely worried. the only logical escape route is west towards east european countries which are in both the european union and nato, under the umbrella of protection of the west. many take the train from this city, lviv towards poland.

satellite pictures show a huge russian miliary convoy — around 40 miles long — advancing on the ukrainian capital kyiv. here, the advance has been slowed. with russian forces arriving on the outskirts of the city, it is far from over. fleeing the fighting. the un says that more than half a million ukrainians have left their homes since the russian invasion began. we since the russian invasion began. are live in liverp morning we are live in liverpool this morning at one of the many community organisations where people are desperate to show support and solidarity with financial donations and donations of essential items. all of this heading to the polish— ukraine border this week. the biggest railfare rise in nearly a decade. millions of train passengers in england and wales face a big jump in ticket prices this morning. i'll have all the details. the world and european football governing bodies ban russia.

this is the aftermath. at the time of the blast many in the city would have been taking refuge in shelters, too afraid to go outside because of the fear of blast like this. the scale —— the scale of what ukraine may face next is shown in these satellite photos. this is a russian military convoy — made up of tanks, armoured vehicles, artillery. it's reported to be 40 miles long, and it's currently around 20 miles northwest of ukraine's capital, kyiv. a staging ground if russia moves to put the city under siege. at night in the capital, ukrainian fighters try to hold their ground. but the cost to soldiers and civilians is rising. paulina was in the final year of primary school in kyiv.

officials say that she and her parents were shot dead by a russian sabotage group on a city street. her brother and sister were taken to hospital. in these first few days of the invasion, ukraine has had some success against russia's early tactics. but how long can this last? this morning a regional governor said more than 70 ukrainian servicemen were killed on sunday when russia shelled military base in the north—eastern town of 0khtyrka. these pictures are from the area on sunday. the president appeals for the west to enforce a no fly zone. i believe that the complete closure of the sky for russian missiles, planes and helicopters should be considered. ukraine's second city, kharkiv,

has come under russian assault. this video appears to show what may be a cluster munitions strike in a residential area. it's a weapon which is banned by many countries. some don't dare to wait for the missiles to fall. in the western city of lviv, there is a crush to board trains to poland and to safety. but men between the ages of 18 and 60 are banned from leaving the country. to them falls the duty of staying and fighting. james reynolds, bbc news. air raid sirens have been heard in kyiv this morning — our correspondent james waterhouse joins us now. james, bring us up to date with what's happened overnight? good morning to you. what has been happening? good morning to you. what has been ha enin: ? ~ good morning to you. what has been haueninu? ~ good morning to you. what has been hauenina? . good morning to you. what has been hauenina? , , happening? well, we wake up this mornin: happening? well, we wake up this morning to — happening? well, we wake up this morning to these _ happening? well, we wake up this morning to these worrying - happening? well, we wake up this morning to these worrying images i happening? well, we wake up this -

morning to these worrying images you have just seen of this estimated 40 mile long russian convoy moving in. as far as western officials are concerned, the advance on the city has been slowed, partly because of the surprising level of ukrainian resistance. moscow has been caught out, they say, by ukrainians willingness to fight as well as how well supplied they are. all the help from western allies we have heard about in the recent weeks and months seems to be paying off to an extent that more russian reinforcements are on their way. what we are seeing and hearing in kharkiv a few hundred miles away in the north—east of ukraine is causing concerns here. indiscriminate shelling, which is what the west fears, more indiscriminate shelling and residential areas. we saw shelling in the centre of kharkiv. the worry is, despite it being quiet now, we

had an explosion very close by we could actually see that lit up the night sky. the worry is for the russian advance, that could end up here in the centre of the capital, kyiv. sanctions imposed on russia have led to sharp falls in its currency, and the closure of the main stock market — putting increasing pressure on the country's economy. 0ur europe correspondentjenny hill joins us from moscow. what has been the latest reaction? it will take a little while before your average russian starts to feel the impact of the sanctions. people are increasingly becoming aware of them. given all we are seeing coming out of ukraine this morning, it seems counterintuitive that a russian politician has told state

media there might be the possibility for progress in peace talks with ukraine. this man is a member of the russian delegation that those in the negotiations with ukraine yesterday. he has said there are some points upon which potential progress could be made. i had to say i think there is very little ground for optimism here this morning, in particular because we know from the kremlin that vladimir putin is not shifting his position, or indeed his narrative, but this is not a war in ukraine, it is not an invasion. the state media is not an ad to use those words. it is a mission designed to defend the russian speaking populations in eastern ukraine against the aggression of the government in kyiv, as vladimir putin would put it. yesterday we heard from the kremlin that any kind of resolution cannot be achieved unless ukraine is demilitarised,

unless ukraine is demilitarised, unless it is established as a neutral country. in addition to that, a new demand, unless the world recognises crimea which was annexed into thousand and 14 as a russian territory. i think, into thousand and 14 as a russian territory. ithink, very little grounds for optimism this morning but we are keeping and will bring you up—to—date when we hear more. —— in 2014. you up-to-date when we hear more. -- in 2014. , , ., ., . you up-to-date when we hear more. -- in2014. ,,., .. , ., in 2014. diplomatic efforts to su ort in 2014. diplomatic efforts to support ukraine _ in 2014. diplomatic efforts to support ukraine and - in 2014. diplomatic efforts to support ukraine and isolate l in 2014. diplomatic efforts to - support ukraine and isolate russia continue. liz truss is due to address a meeting of the united nations human rights council. let's speak now to our chief political correspondent adam fleming what is the perfect day in terms of these talks for the prime minister and the foreign secretary? iikia these talks for the prime minister and the foreign secretary? no silly auestions and the foreign secretary? no silly questions on _ and the foreign secretary? no silly questions on this _ and the foreign secretary? no silly questions on this programme. - and the foreign secretary? no silly questions on this programme. liz l questions on this programme. liz truss is going to geneva to speak to

the un human rights body. she will make the case that what russia is dealing in ukraine is an industrial scale breach of international human right law. that should encourage even more countries to come forward and condemn the russians and pave the way for a united nations resolutions —— resolution condemning russia. it could expel them from the decision—making bit of the united nations, which will be quite extraordinary if it actually happens. secondly you have the prime minister going to poland this morning. he will make a speech saying if the russians occupy ukraine it is a grave danger to the entire international political system and he will signal there will be more sanctions on russian individuals and businesses. he will be explicit and say they will come at a cost to the british economy and british people, for example through high energy bills. he will also say

1000 british troops will be put on standby to help with the humanitarian situation in europe as hundreds of thousands of ukrainians leave their country. they will also be extra pressure on the government here i do what they are doing for ukrainians who want to come to this country. tweaks have been made to the immigration system which priti patel says will allow 100,000 ukrainian nationals to come to the uk. quite a lot of the opposition parties and conservative backbenchers have said it is not a generous enough system and they are calling for it to be widened so it does notjust apply calling for it to be widened so it does not just apply to calling for it to be widened so it does notjust apply to immediate family members of the british people or ukrainian nationals who are already here in the uk. the letter that was signed yesterday by a group of tory backbenchers calling for the scheme to be implemented has 40,000 signatures. the home secretary did say we might get more details of an

extension of the scheme in the next couple of days. extension of the scheme in the next couple of days-— kasia madera is in medyka?on the ukrainain—polish border. you can see the key behind you in quite a big security presence. == quite a big security presence. -- dq. this quite a big security presence. -- do- this is _ quite a big security presence. -- do- this is a _ quite a big security presence. » dq. this is a huge effort by the polish police and polish fire brigade and volunteers to help monitor these people who are on the next leg of what has been a really long journey. this is a town 30 kilometres away from the border itself. these buses are continuously coming in here to bring people on. the people have just spent a coming in here to bring people on. the people havejust spent a number of nights in what i can only describe as the most huge warehouse, a storage warehouse which acted as a storage place for a local

supermarket that has been transformed into an absolute makeshift rescue centre. these people are now waiting to get on a bus to take them on the next leg of theirjourney, bearing in mind what they have already experienced, the days they travelled across ukraine to get to the polish border and the days they waited to get over the border itself. as you know we have spent three days on the border and have seen have exhausted people are. they are cold and tired and waited through the night to get across. this is the next phase of what has happened to them. what is taking place here and why we have the security presence is they are meeting women and children onto these buses and moving the buses away stop their next destination is bigger cities across poland and the people are moved on to other places. the men are left behind because the priority is to get their women and

children on. we were talking a lot about ukrainian nationals between the ages of 18 and 60 having to stay behind. they are being required to stay behind to bolster the military effort with the ukrainian army. these are non—ukrainian nationals, coming from lots of different countries to ukraine, to work, to study, to support their families. they have left and are now here in poland. they have been welcomed to poland. they have been welcomed to poland when they are being given something to eat and sleep. emotional scenes here. families are having to separate as the women and children are moved on. poland has said it has welcomed everyone to the country to look after them. they had been exhausted by what has been a difficultjourney.—

difficult 'ourney. thank you very much difficult journey. thank you very much indeed. _ difficult journey. thank you very much indeed. that _ difficult journey. thank you very much indeed. that particular. difficult journey. thank you very - much indeed. that particular moment we see the women and children getting on the coach. masses of people trying to leave ukraine. there are a flood of people going the other way to help in the resistance against the russians. good morning. mixed fortunes with the weather today. this beautiful picture from northern ireland where there is beautiful sunshine. bitterly cold start. further south different story. cloudy and murky. we have some fog around, as you can see in east sussex. the rain has been falling, pushing south. fairly light and patchy in the south—eastern corner. some showers in the channel islands and more rain

coming into the south—west later which will be heavy and persistent. it will join which will be heavy and persistent. it willjoin together and continue to move northwards with plaid moving ahead of them. the sunnier skies will be in scotland, england and northern ireland. it will be a blustery day. tonight all the cloud and rain continues to push north. in scotland there will be a widespread frost. temperatures falling away to “6, frost. temperatures falling away to -6, -7 frost. temperatures falling away to —6, —7 in the highlands. in scotland and northern england we could see pockets of thrust. this is where we have the sunshine to start the day. through the day they plaid will advance northwards. not particularly heavy. another blustery day. another by the front waiting in the wings to come away on thursday. temperatures eight in the north and 12 in the south. see you again.- eight in the north and 12 in the south. see you again.

the un estimates as many as four million people could be displaced in the coming days and weeks, as they try to escape the violence in ukraine. many are taking shelter in bunkers or basements underneath the city streets as the fighting continues overhead. sima kotecha has been speaking to one couple who've been separated by the war. although hundreds of thousands are thought to have fled ukraine, many more people are sheltering in their country, including rita and her children. they're in the north of ukraine. her husband and their father, andy, is here in the uk. so we stayed in a basement, maybe for 30, 35 minutes, and then decided to come back to the house, but just on the first floor, so it would not be high up. so today what we did was we downloaded pictures of the route, because at some point we have to face reality. the internet will drop. since the russian invasion, we've been exchanging messages and videos.

so this is the younger ones. hello, there. the blast last night is finishing. it was one more long night. for now, it's just my turn to watch what's happening in the road. before, those kids were staying up all night. now, everybody fall asleep. this one completely gone. i also didn't change his clothes. cock crows.

and now we get ready to go to my mum. i'm preparing some products for her — butter, cheese and the bread. actually, that's the last bread. there's no bread in the shops at all. it's completely finished. i'm also taking this. it's not far away, but we're

allowed to use guns, so i'll take it with me. it can be quite useful. there is tanks on the way, so who knows how it's going to be? it's sunday evening and today tank defences were erected around the town where rita and the kids are. it's a pretty scary situation, and i genuinely worry for them each and every day. but the nights are the worst. it's monday, the 28th, about like, five o'clock uk time, seven o'clock ukrainian time. it's dark there and rita's going about her normal routine of feeding the kids etc. but they're doing this in semi

darkness so they don't attract attention. it's very, very dangerous to travel right now, and it's hard to second guess what the best course of action is. i guess the next three or four days will show... ..erm, the very tense situation, and i'm extremely worried about them all. that was sima kotecha reporting. another family who know how it feels to be separated due to the war, are the gregorys. sisters elena and emma were visiting their mother anna and brother tim, near kyiv last week. when fighting broke out, the sisters fled via the moldova border. tim decided to stay with his mum — who says she will fight for ukraine if needed. their dad roy, who lives in the uk, joins us in the studio now, along with anna and tim in kyiv.

another strike is planned for thursday, and this is the advice from transport for london. for customers who can, i'd strongly recommend that they work at home. for others who do need to make journeys — and i understand that some travel is absolutely essential — i'd recommend customers check, either on our website, tfl website, or the tfl go app for their other options, their best options, using other modes of transport. so let's take a look at the tube board now. and as you see, virtually all lines are completely suspended. however, the dlr, tram service, tfl rail and some of the 0verground are faring better, because they're not part of the london underground.

but do check before you travel today. on twitter it @bbctravel alert, or look out our website, bbc.co.uk/london. london actor benedict cumberbatch has been honoured with a star on the hollywood walk of fame. he joins the likes of marlon brando and david bowie, and he used the unveiling to pay tribute to his sister tracey, who died last year of cancer. he also drew attention to the crisis in ukraine. cumberbatch, who grew up in kensington and chelsea, is currently shortlisted for a best actor oscar for his role in power of the dog. onto the weather now with kate. good morning. it is the first day of meteorological spring today, but we are not going to enjoy too much in the way of spring sunshine. you can see these fronts bringing more rain. quite a damp night. still rain this morning. quite misty and foggy out there as well. the front then reverses back and brings some heavy, more extensive rain through the afternoon.

quite breezy too. temperatures today reaching 11 celsius. overnight tonight, we are going to hang onto this rain. again, some heavier bursts mixed in. it stays wet throughout, becoming quite murky as we head through to wednesday morning. still quite breezy too. a minimum temperature of six celsius. tomorrow, we've still got a front heading towards us. that will bring patchy outbreaks of light rain. not quite as extensive as today, but it's still rather damp, still quite murky first thing tomorrow, and a keen south easterly breeze. temperatures tomorrow getting up to a maximum of 10 celsius. as we head further through the week, for thursday, we still could see some patchy light rain, but becoming drier. high pressure building for the weekend means we should see settled conditions. vanessa feltz�*s breakfast show is on bbc radio london. she has the latest on the tube strike. there are also travel updates every 15 minutes. i'm back with the latest in half an hour.

hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. let's get up to date with everything that has been happening overnight in ukraine. james reynolds is here to run through the details. there is plenty to talk about. this is the state of ukraine six days into the invasion. you can see the areas occupied by russia here in the south, east, and north. they are in red. in the first few days, ukrainian forces have had some success in pushing russia's forces back. but this may simply mean that russia changes tactic and intensifies its own offensive — particularly here around the capital kyiv. let me show you how russia may do this. this is a russian military convoy — it's stationed about 20 miles north west of the capital. these satellite photos show that it's 40 miles long.

this convoy could be used as a staging ground for an attack on the capital. a similar tactic could be used in ukraine's second city of kharkiv. these pictures show an explosion this morning on the street right outside a government building in kharkiv. this morning we've also learnt that over seventy ukrainian servicemen were killed on sunday, in russian shelling in the town of 0khtyrka, according to their regional governor. these pictures are from the area on sunday. in the south, russia wants to create a land corridor. it has also taken the port city of berdiansk. these are recent pictures we have from berdiansk, which show russian tanks on the move. they want to move east to mariupol. russia has an advantage in numbers. this morning we've seen reports that the russian army are on the outskirt of the southern city of kherson.

remember, it annexed crimea in 2014, which _ remember, it annexed crimea in 2014, which to— remember, it annexed crimea in 2014, which to some people in the ukraine is the _ which to some people in the ukraine is the beginning of this wider conflict~ _ many ukrainians will be extremely worried. the only logical escape route is west towards eastern european countries which are in both the european union and nato, under the umbrella of protection of the west. many take the train from this city, lviv, towards poland. these are our latest pictures from the train station, where families are separated. a security official is telling the men _ a security official is telling the men between 18 and 60 that they have to stay— men between 18 and 60 that they have to stay put _ men between 18 and 60 that they have to stay put and be ready to fight for their— to stay put and be ready to fight for their country. the refugee crisis is the most intense week of human flight within europe's borders since at least the balkan wars of the 1990s. the united nations says it is preparing for up to four million refugees from ukraine in the coming days and weeks. this route is also vital in the other direction. that's because this is the supply line for ukraine to get its weapons

and its volunteers. as the invasion progresses, russia may want to use its ally belarus to push on down and cut off this route. that's how things look this morning. james, thank you very much indeed. loads of information there. more than half a million refugees have now fled ukraine, according to the united nations. one of the key crossings is at przemysl in southern poland, where our correspondent lewis goodall has spent the last few days and sent this report. mama lina! the history books won't remember this. mama lina. but in this war, like every war, it's these little moments that, in years and decades to come, those involved will never forget. a child lost on a platform and her mum, lina, who no one can find. przemysl station in poland,

a few miles from the ukrainian border, has seen refugees from its neighbours before. few likely expected to see quite so many again. so, the platform is full right to the very end of people just waiting to be processed, mainly women, children, some elderly as well. some of them have been travelling for up to a week. and one thing they all have in common, as well as being angry and resolute and proud of their forces, is that they've left family behind. is your husband with you? no, he left in ukraine. he's military, and he defends, obviously, to kyiv. he's fighting? yes, he's fighting every day. you must be so worried about him? sure. but i understand that he has, he must do this for us, for our children, and many men. and they are doing it with pleasure, with dignity. and they, they... ..are doing all this for us. how long would it normally take

you to get here from lviv? two hours. and it's taken you 18? yes, exactly. and are you here with all yourfamily? no, it's only me. i left my family in ukraine, because they were like, "at least we have to save someone." how old are you? i'm19. you're19. 19. and all the rest of your family, your mum, your dad...? mum, dad, sister and younger brother. what do you think of vladimir putin? when you think of him, what do you think of him? if i see him right now, i will kill him with my own hands. with your own hands? my own hands. because you cannot be that bad in 2022. there aren't many men who get off the trains, because most of the men aren't allowed to leave. and their wives, mums and kids have endured journeys in horrendous conditions for days.

because there was no toilet, for the kids? order amid the chaos. in no small part, as a result of the extraordinary charity from poles, local and far, and so many others in europe's east, who've known the strength of the russian boot. that's amazing. you don't even know this lady. you don't even know this lady and you're going to drive her all the way to prague? why? why are you doing it? you wouldn't think that there could be much goodness at przemyl�*s station right now. but there is, and isn't the only thing to surprise. now, you might think this

is a queue to get to a train further away from ukraine, but it's not. this is actually the queue for the train to lviv, the train going back into ukraine, and the queue is enormous. you might think, well, what's all that about? well, some of them are journalists, inevitably. some of them are men, a lot of men who are going back to ukraine to fight, people who live in poland or from further afield, and they feel obliged. and some are women whose kids are here in ukraine, and they're having to go back and try and fetch them. you're on the sort of girls' week away or something, to spain? yes, ourfamilies still in ukraine, in kyiv, in 0desa, in lviv. so we want to go back home. we don't want to run away from ukraine. it's terrible. it's — i can't even express what i feel when i understand that my child is 2,000 kilometres from me, and i see them in spain. it's sunny, it's very comfortable. and in ukraine it's war.

it's awful. there's a steady stream of men here, ukrainians from all around the world, going tojoin their brothers in arms. this ukrainian man, who speaks polish and lives in poland, asked us not to show his face. are you scared? are you frightened? you're prepared to die? he was accompanied to the station by a pole and a friend. of course, of course. he's basically dropping his friend off, who he knows, who is going to fight, that we just spoke to, in ukraine.

but he's overcome with emotion, because he's saying goodbye to him and he knows it could well be for the last time. twilight, and another train from lviv pulls in. there's not a breath of space. and these are the lucky ones. most from central and eastern ukraine can't even get close. none expected to be here. and but for the intrigues of one man's mind, they wouldn't be. but they must live with what is, and lament the country — and family — that for who knows how long, they've lost. lewis goodalljoins us now from south—eastern poland, where thousands of people have been crossing the border from ukraine. good morning. thank you for talking to us. striking from that report, we are seeing these pictures are many thousands of people moving, but actually it is the individual stories that stop you in your tracks, isn't it?—

stories that stop you in your tracks, isn't it? absolutely right. it is so easy _ tracks, isn't it? absolutely right. it is so easy to _ tracks, isn't it? absolutely right. it is so easy to think— tracks, isn't it? absolutely right. it is so easy to think of— tracks, isn't it? absolutely right. it is so easy to think of these i it is so easy to think of these people — it is so easy to think of these people as _ it is so easy to think of these people as numbers. we have heard of the enormous numbers of the united nations— the enormous numbers of the united nations has estimated. half a million — nations has estimated. half a million people. that is roughly 1% of the _ million people. that is roughly 1% of the population of ukraine. that might— of the population of ukraine. that might not— of the population of ukraine. that might not sound like a lot but it is a huge _ might not sound like a lot but it is a huge number. one in 100 ukrainians. if it reaches the upper limit _ ukrainians. if it reaches the upper limit of— ukrainians. if it reaches the upper limit of what the un says, 4 million. _ limit of what the un says, 4 million, that is about 10%. one in ten ukrainians potentially leaving. what _ ten ukrainians potentially leaving. what you — ten ukrainians potentially leaving. what you just saw, that was just one place, _ what you just saw, that was just one place. one _ what you just saw, that was just one place, one station, one frontier, one crossing point. that is being replicated — one crossing point. that is being replicated on every crossing point in every _ replicated on every crossing point in every country that borders ukraine _ in every country that borders ukraine. and the question is, how much _ ukraine. and the question is, how much worse — ukraine. and the question is, how much worse can that gate? the longer that this _ much worse can that gate? the longer that this war— much worse can that gate? the longer that this war continues. and we have already— that this war continues. and we have already seen from other reporters in ukraine _ already seen from other reporters in ukraine this — already seen from other reporters in ukraine this morning just how severe the bombardment is becoming from russia _ the bombardment is becoming from russia. accusations of war crimes against _ russia. accusations of war crimes against russia. at what point do

messages, dennis and tanya showed just how desperate the last five days have been. my dad to me, "putin has started the war." two minutes later, explosions, tanya, explosions. i think they've bombed storage and railway. tanya's dad, pavlo, has spent the last ten years of retirement growing vegetables and searching out the finest wild mushrooms of kyiv. yesterday, in text messages to his daughter, he said he is willing to risk everything to defend his country. i passed by the army recruitment office. tanya, i have a car and i can drive them when its light. my dad signed up to recruitment. yeah, he went to a recruitment office and signed up. he's 7a. i feel for you. thank you. that's your dad. you kind of... you're proud and scared.

and terrified all at the same time. yes, yes. to show this, a couple of messages... on dennis's phone, he shows me the messages sent by his parents, but quickly deleted. and my parents, they just send me pictures. here, the place we hidden all the documents. here are our photos. just so you know, if anything happened, you can find it here. and they removed it after this, so nobody else can find out. that just must strike fear in your heart. yeah. yeah. — i'm really worried about my family. vitale's mother has sent him a photo of her new bed on the floor in her hall. and the windows are out| because she's afraid that if bombings happened, the explosion wave can knock the windows out. _ and reading through his messages, there is one which stands out. everything is going to be ok, i love you. _ which is such an unusual thing for him to say. - i know i'm his son and he's my dad,

but he's not an emotional person. l | he said he woke up to the whole| house shaking, windows shaking, and he heard gunfire and shelling. and he panicked so much that he thought this - is the end for him. and so he texted me, _ he texted my mum, and he texted my brother, that he loves us just because he thought- that we should know before he... yeah. and that's how... and that's the first... that's how i got the news i that russia invaded ukraine. tanya tells me she has no regret that no military support has been offered on the ground. i don't think your children should be dying for my parents. but this support shown on a rainy, cold night in sheffield is a comfort. it's really... it's really powerful. it's helping. is it?

yeah, yeah, because... sorry. it makes a difference. it makes difference. those stories are just heartbreaking. that is why so many people are making cash donations to the big organisations already on the ground. and the smaller organisations like this thatjust wanted to do something. all of this stuff you see behind me was gathered in just an hour and stuff you see behind me was gathered injust an hour and a half and it will make its way to the polish border with ukrainejust will make its way to the polish border with ukraine just towards the end of this week. i want to introduce everybody on this table. thank you for coming over to see us this morning in liverpool. these guys are from the ukrainian youth association. miroslav and sophia. i know because we have spoken off air. your phone is just know because we have spoken off air. your phone isjust pinging because you have got friends over there.
