he also said this. translation: but we also fight to be equal members of europe. and i believe that today we demonstrate to everybody that we are europeans and together with us the european union will be stronger. mr zelensky repeated his call for you going to be admitted into the eu on a fast—track measure. it's a long and complicated process, it ta kes yea rs takes years to complete. here's our correspondent in brussels.- correspondent in brussels. before the war ukraine, _ correspondent in brussels. before the war ukraine, which _ correspondent in brussels. before the war ukraine, which is - correspondent in brussels. before the war ukraine, which is not - the war ukraine, which is not officially an accession candidate, it was thought it needed to do much more work in terms of democratic sunak democratic norms and curbing corruption. now there have been
7:11 pm
expressions of support for a possible fast tracking to allow ukraine to perhaps become an accession candidate from some countries in eastern europe. poland, the baltic states, the czech republic and a number of other countries put out a statement yesterday saying that they would support perhaps fast tracking this process. in other countries noticeably in the west of the european union has said this isn't the moment to be doing that. speaking after mr zelensky�*s address, the european commission president said this. the destiny of ukraine is at stake but our— the destiny of ukraine is at stake but our own fate also lies in the balance — for the first time ever ursula von leyen said the eu would be using funds from the european budget to provide ukraine with military equipment — pledging 1 billion euros to the crisis, that is e500m to purchase and deliver equipment and e500m for humanitarian aid. let's hear more.

7:13 pm
he told reporters that nato was supplying arms and humanitarian aid to ukraine. but he also said this. but nato is not going to be part of the conflict. so nato is not going to send troops into ukraine or move planes into ukrainian airspace. also, on a tour of nato border countries is the uk prime minister boris johnson. he's already been to poland where at a press event he was confronted by a ukrainian activist. britain guarantees our security under— britain guarantees our security under the _ britain guarantees our security under the memorandum so you are coming _ under the memorandum so you are coming to— under the memorandum so you are coming to poland, you not coming to kyiv. _ coming to poland, you not coming to kyiv. prime _ coming to poland, you not coming to kyiv, prime minister. because you are afraid — kyiv, prime minister. because you are afraid for that because nato is not willing — are afraid for that because nato is not willing to defend, because nato is afraid _ not willing to defend, because nato is afraid of— not willing to defend, because nato is afraid of world war iii but it is already— is afraid of world war iii but it is already started. there ukrainian children— already started. there ukrainian children are there taken a hit. you talking _ children are there taken a hit. you talking about no sanctions but they are not—

7:15 pm
thatis unfortunately, the implication of that is that the uk would be engaged in shooting down russian planes, engaged in direct combat with russia, that's not something that we can do or that we've envisaged. i think the consequences of that would be truly very, very difficult. meanwhile, at the un human rights council meeting in geneva, the us secretary of state questioned whether russia should remain a member of the council. one can reasonably ask whether the un member state that tries to take over another un member states while committing horrific human rights abuses and causing massive humanitarian suffering should be allowed to remain on this counsel. that's the americans. russia's foreign minister also spoke at the special emergency meeting. here's how he was received. with a mass walk out by western ambassadors as soon as he began to speak. sergei lavrov was addressing both the un human rights council and the un conference on disarmament.
7:16 pm
here's some of what he said. translation: the west have shut their eyes starting from the 200013 when _ their eyes starting from the 200013 when the _ their eyes starting from the 200013 when the radicals —— 2013 the radicals— when the radicals —— 2013 the radicals illegally elected president and started expelling everything russian — and started expelling everything russian from the country. we hope that kyiv _ russian from the country. we hope that kyiv will come to senses and that kyiv will come to senses and that they— that kyiv will come to senses and that they will start the dialogue with the — that they will start the dialogue with the population of blue guns and domestic— with the population of blue guns and domestic area. during recent times the criminal— domestic area. during recent times the criminal activities of kyiv regime — the criminal activities of kyiv regime were active eyes. we have a
7:17 pm
lot of— regime were active eyes. we have a lot of evidence against the violation of human rights by the kyiv authorities. here'sjenny hill in moscow on that speach. he made two points about ukraine ukraine weapons. first he said that he believed ukraine still had old soviet nuclear capabilities and may be some technology that was left over from the soviet union. but he also said that russia would do absolutely everything he could to stop ukraine acquiring nuclear weapons. this tells us a lot about one of russia's big games here. one of the aims potentially behind the war in ukraine. and that is we know that vladimir putin does not like nato and he does not like it's eastward expansion and he is concerned about ukraine wanting to join nato. during the speech mr lavrov also said that russia deemed it unacceptable that american
7:18 pm
nuclear weapons are in european countries. as you know, countries like germany host those weapons under those nato said it was on those countries gave the nuclear weapons back to the us. bear in mind, this is a foreign minister of a country which currently has its nuclear deterrent forces on a special state of alert. this is one of the big issues that we must bear in mind when we look at what's happening in ukraine and we look at what russia is doing and it's doing it. across the last six days we've been bringing you the sanctions in response to this invasion. today the kremlin has said none of those sanctions will make a change its course in scores it targeting civilians despite the rising number of civilians that have been killed by russian action. it remains clear how the russian public views this conflict or whether it believes what it's being told by state media.
7:19 pm
here's our moscow correspondent steve rosenberg. from the military chiefs in moscow, no hint of compromise. russia's defence minister says the special military operation in ukraine will continue until mission accomplished. from the politicians here, denials that russia's an aggressor. turns out it is the west�*s fault. your country, all european countries, united states, western civilisation world, is in an information and hybrid war with russia right now. russian state tv continues to avoid the words "war" or "invasion". they're banned. instead, the official message is that in ukraine, russia is using force to bring peace. like many russians, valentina gets
7:20 pm
all her news from state tv. and believes it. in russia, television is a powerful tool for shaping public opinion about the war. a lot of what they say on tv, it is truth, it's true. how do you know? well, you know, when i read in a foreign newspaper, that, you know, russians bomb kharkiv and so on, i know it is not true because they promised not to do this, and they will never do this. kremlin control of the media producing an inverted reality of russia's war in ukraine. not everyone here accepts the official kremlin line. russians who find alternative sources of information on their smartphones, on their computers, they tend to reach different conclusions about what is happening in ukraine. this is ekaterina. she has decided to pack
7:21 pm
up and leave russia. she doesn't watch russian tv. she's sickened by the invasion and has lost hope for russia's future. i don't know, ifeel like i don't have a life any more, maybe something change and new government could work with this situation, maybe. maybe, i don't know. but with this government, with this president, no future for many, many years. ekaterina is leaving behind a country isolated by sanctions. a country at war. here we are on a tuesday evening, the invasion and closed a week now since russia began its operation. and it's forces continue to move towards kyiv. our defence
7:22 pm
correspondent has this assessment of where the conflict is reaching what russia's strategy may be from here. russia's strategy may be from here. russia's advances it slowed in recent days, there's been evidence of poor planning with the russian struggling with resupplying their armoured convoys with basics like fuel. and seriously underestimating the strength of ukrainian resistance. but they've still gained ground here in the cell. they are now targeting the city of mary pole. they may soon begin to cut off the ukrainian army dug in here in the east. in the northeast, russian forces have also surrounded ukraine second largest city of kharkiv which is come heavy shelling. now let's look at the capitol kyiv. the russian goal here is to surround the city. they've not been able to do that yet but they are now massing forces. this satellite image shows a massive russian military convoy approaching from the north. around 40 approaching from the north. around a0 miles long for that military
7:23 pm
experts say that's a worrying sign. this massive russian convoy is extremely indicative because it shows how much they are pouring into surrounding kyiv in order than to take the city put up but it's a huge target for ukrainian airpower if it still exist without the fact that ukrainians are not attacking it is i'm afraid, a very telling indication of the fact that ukrainians may be running out of forces they could use in any sort of organised way. forces they could use in any sort of organised way-— forces they could use in any sort of organised way. there's also evidence of a change — organised way. there's also evidence of a change in _ organised way. there's also evidence of a change in tactics. _ organised way. there's also evidence of a change in tactics. more - of a change in tactics. more ruthless and more brutal. once out of that is the weapons the russians now appear be using. the russians have significant artillery fire power like these multiple rocket launchers seen here on a russian exercise in belarus just before the invasion. devastating unguided weapons which are now targeting urban areas. this was the effect of those rocket launches on the city of kharkiv yesterday when he came under
7:24 pm
russian attack. there's also reports that russians are now using cluster munitions, banned by many countries including the uk. this looks like them being used in a car parked again in kharkiv yesterday. and this is a reminder of what the russian military is capable of doing with indiscriminate air strikes and artillery. reducing the city in syria to rubble, showing scant concern for civilian life. before we finish this half—hour of outside source we told you about that russian military convoy heading towards the capital kyiv. our chief international correspondent is there. , , ,, .,~ ., there. here she is speaking earlier. eve one there. here she is speaking earlier. everyone knows _ there. here she is speaking earlier. everyone knows about _ there. here she is speaking earlier. everyone knows about this - there. here she is speaking earlier. everyone knows about this convoy. | everyone knows about this convoy. these are images which have gone right around the world, that they weren't made available in stark black and grey. the movement of this huge convoy inching its way towards
7:25 pm
the ukrainian capital. it's only moving very slowly but it seems that it is on its way here. the big question is, how soon will it actually come right to the edge of the city? this is the sixth day of russia's invasion we see notjust an armoured convoy but as you adjust mention, there's been the attack close to the tv tower and is very, very serious warning from the russian defence minister that people should move away from two key security installations or people who work in those buildings but also people in the surrounding area. you can sense the mounting anxiety here with both partners in ukraine he is saying, should we leave the city, if we leave the city is it more dangerous to be on the roads? maybe we should just stay on the ground, is that the safest place to be? these are questions being asked not just in kyiv but in kharkiv, the second largest city, to the solve,

7:27 pm
and temperatures don't really drop here through the night, 7—8 celsius, as i said, compared to the subzero temperatures, especially so across scotland as we start the new day. so here's the chart as we go into wednesday. our weather system continues to work its way northwards. we'll have a bit more breeze as well across these western areas and even across scotland where the sunshine's out. there will be more of a breeze around, that will make it feel a bit more chilly after that cold start. the cloud, rain, drizzle across wales, midlands, southern england, then pushes into northern england, northern ireland through the morning and into the afternoon, through some southern parts of scotland. it's going to be quite murky over the hills. we could see a little bit of brightness breakthrough parts of wales and the southwest. if we do, 11—12 degrees. most places in single figures. whilst we've got the sunshine still in northern scotland, more of a breeze will make it feel chillier than today. so that breeze then takes the cloud and patchy rain across scotland as we go through into wednesday evening and wednesday night. with all that cloud around, one decaying weather front across the uk, another one pushing in from the west. it will be a much milder start on thursday for all, but it will be a bit of a damp start as well.
7:28 pm
the weather front quickly pushing its way eastwards away from some western areas as we go through thursday morning. so a better chance of brightening up here, but its meeting resistance from developing southeasterly flow across the north sea. and that means the weather front may grind to a halt. eastern scotland down the spine of england with outbreaks of rain continuing into the afternoon and a rather gray, misty look to go with it. temperatures 9—12 celsius. similar sort of temperatures, actually, through the rest of the week and into the weekend. high pressure, though, builds around our weather front, the problem is the weather front gets trapped. plenty of cloud around, some patchy drizzle, but gradually turning drier through the weekend. see you soon.
7:30 pm
hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. dozens of people have been confirmed to be killed in ukraine as russia escalates its attacks. strikes have hit the capital kyiv as well as the second biggest city with civilians killed in both. i russian military convoyis killed in both. i russian military convoy is at the capital, we have a report from clive my rate, and ukraine's president has this warning. translation: yes ukraine's president has this warning. translation: yes are the most important _ warning. translation: yes are the most important targets _ warning. translation: yes are the most important targets for - most important targets for rationale, the terror is aimed at breaking us, breaking our resistance.— breaking us, breaking our resistance. , , breaking us, breaking our resistance. , ., , resistance. president zelensky has received a standing _ resistance. president zelensky has received a standing ovation - resistance. president zelensky has received a standing ovation and . resistance. president zelensky has l received a standing ovation and told
7:31 pm
mep is that nobody will break us. meanwhile, western diplomats have walked out on a un meeting as russian officials sought to defend the invasion. international criminal court says war crimes may have been committed in ukraine, we will look at the definition of war crimes and how we assess the russian attacks. plus the humanitarian impact continues to escalate, the un says more than half a million people have now fled the country. let's bring you the latest on russian actions in ukraine. the russia has bass russia has now attacked nearby broadcast facilities and killing five people, all of that happened as a military convoy continues to advance slowly towards the capital. as kyiv slept, there were nightmares.
7:32 pm
a russian missile strike obliterates a target on the outskirts of the capital. in the heart of the city, they watch and pray. to the west, on kyiv�*s outskirts, an armoured column claims the streets. charred bodies litter the road. this is the city of bucha. this is ukraine's war. translation: long live | ukraine, ukraine will win. putin will be finished. we will stop him. we will not only stop him, we will destroy him. russia invaded ukraine nearly a week ago. and their advance across this land has been slowed by the dogged resistance of government forces and partisans. but moscow has so much more in reserve. maybe too much. a satellite image captures a vast
7:33 pm
column of russian armour on the northern approach to kyiv. a war caravan of muscovian might. if vladimir putin wants to unleash hell, he will have the tools to do it. missile strikes on the edge of the capital are just the start. translation: the night was tough, but there are currently no _ russian armed forces in kyiv. the enemy is trying to breach the city, unfortunately, russian sabotage groups are acting in kyiv now, several shootings have happened. by day, kyiv�*s defenders do what they can. the military, nervous, search for possible russian saboteurs and spies. fear, dread, hangs heavy here. the second city of kharkiv has faced russian steel already. kyiv is undoubtedly next.
7:34 pm
translation: kharkiv and kyiv are the most important - targets for russia now and the terror is aimed at breaking us, breaking our resistance. they advance on our capital in the same way they are advancing on kharkiv, that is why the defence of the capital is the key priority for the state. and today russia attempting to take out kyiv�*s main tv tower, but it is still standing. david and goliath, ukraine against russia. as an informal home guard make petrol bombs out of used beer bottles, what chance they can win? the prosecutor says he plans to open an investigation into russian actions in ukraine saying there is a reasonable basis to believe or crimes and crimes against humanity may have been committed. let's take a minute to look at exactly how we define a war crime and what power there is to prosecute
7:35 pm
them when they are committed. russia's assault on ukraine is intensifying. this is kharkiv in the east of ukraine, and president zelensky is clear on what we are seeing. translation: russian forces have brutally fired on kharkiv _ from rocket artillery. it is clearly a war crime. if civilians were targeted, that would be a war crime. and otherfootage raises questions about russia's conduct. this attack may have been a cluster bomb. they are banned by many countries, although not by russia or ukraine, but borisjohnson is clear on what we are seeing. vladimir putin is prepared to use barbaric and indiscriminate tactics against innocent civilians. other russian attacks include this, in the north east town of okhtyrka. ukraine says 70 soldiers died and makes this claim.
7:36 pm
they use the vacuum bomb today, which is prohibited by geneva convention. vacuum bombs ignite a firebomb that sucks in all surrounding oxygen. they are a thermobaric weapon whose use is condemned by the international community, although it is not confirmed a vacuum bomb was used in this attack. this is verified footage of an air strike on friday. now the city is encircled. to hold it under siege would be a war crime. to these questions russia offers this defence. translation: let me stress that strikes are carried out only - on military targets and exclusively with high precision weapons. during military clashes the ukrainian side does not hesitate to use civilians as human shields. it hasn't offered any evidence that ukraine is doing this. and the un is clear on who is bearing the cost in this war. the scale of civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure,
7:37 pm
even in these very early days, is alarming. it is alarming, but are russia's actions war crimes? the uk appears to think so. we also will be supporting the effort to make sure that efforts of war crimes is preserved. and the european union says this is... geopolitical terrorism, pure and simple. but even if a war crime has been committed, justice is a long road. it could come via the international criminal court in the hague. its prosecutor says... "i am satisfied there is reasonable basis to believe that both alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed in ukraine." convictions do happen, the former bosnian serb commander ratko mladic was found guilty of war crimes committed in the yugoslav wars of the 1990s. now, there's no doubting the horror of what's happening in ukraine today, and for ukraine's government there's no doubting what this amounts to. there is no purgatory for war criminals. they go straight to hell. war crimes often hinge on intent, on whether people have been
7:38 pm
deliberately killed illegally, targeting civilians for example. russia denies doing this, but there is scepticism from a watching world. the un says more than 600 and 60 thousand people are now known to have fled ukraine since the beginning of the russian invasion. "660,000 most of the refugees fleeing are women, children, and the elderly. that's because all ukrainian men aged 18 to 60 are being prevented from leaving because they're being told to stay and fight for their country. let's take a look at some of the countries ukrainian refugees are fleeing to. more than 100,000 people will have crossed the border into hungary by the end of tuesday. and, in neighbouring poland, some people have waited more than 60 hours in freezing conditions to enter. here's filippo grandi, the un's high commissioner for refugees, on the latest numbers at the borders.
7:39 pm
last night at the security council, i reported 520,000 refugees. now, less than 2a hours before, the latest figure, ijust got it, it's 677,000, so another 150,000 in less than 2a hours. here's a ukrainian family who fled kyiv and arrived safely at the hungarian border. we hope that everyone will help us in kyiv, in ukraine, because it's catastrophic. i think everyone knows this. it's a terrible situation, terrible. it's terrible. west ukraine then here, yes, and now we, yes, yes, my husband can drive, but he stayed. he drove you to the border? yes, yes of course, yes, because... he stayed?
7:40 pm
yes. our correspondent nick thorpe is at the ukrainian—hungary border. this place, i'm actually standing in the primary school, it's normally a very sleepy little village, but as you can see behind me, it's now packed with people. this particular centre is run by the baptist charity here, the baptist church charity here in hungary. the number to hungry so far, we expect it to pass —— the number to hungary so far, we expect it to pass 100,000 by this evening, coming across five different border crossings like this on. this is one of the most hectic ones i've seen so far, but very well organised. just to give one example, a mother here explaining to the people running the centre that her eight—year—old son needs insulin, immediately they are on to her case and trying to organise that for her here because of his diabetic condition. so scenes like this up and down
7:41 pm
hungry's border with ukraine more hungary's border with ukraine more than 100,000 as of this evening. our correspondent kasia madera is at the ukrainian—polish border. the numbers are growing, and it's understandable why when you are on the ground here near the border between poland and ukraine, we are just a few minutes away from the border. this is as close as you can get because this is where people that have just crossed get bussed those last couple of kilometres to this point here. this bus has just arrived with these people. this is the first time that they've walked, they've got to poland and they are exhausted. they tell the same story, a really difficultjourney to get to this point, the safety of poland. they've come from all over ukraine, lots of different nationalities, notjust ukrainian nationals, lots of different nationalities coming through. everybody with the same story, they are tired, they are worried and they are just relieved to get somewhere where they can rest for a few moments at least
7:42 pm
before they start to think about what is the next stage. as we have been showing you, russia has been using for this to their military tactics and ukraine in the last 2a hours. president zelensky says the reason is this. translation: the terror is aimed at breaking us, | breaking our resistance. we're going look at that resistance now — because it's been seen all across ukraine. russia's military is one of the largest, most sophisticated in the world. but as michael kofman tweeted... ukraine says russia has lost thousands of soldiers. it's difficult to verify numbers, but ukraine say it's as many as a,500. russia hasn't released official numbers. and there's been heavier than expected losses
7:43 pm
of russian tanks, warplanes, and other equipment. the washington post puts it simply... a lot of that is to do with the fact that russia has not yet taken any major cities — including kyiv — as this map shows. we know they're closing in on these cities now. but before the invasion, us intelligence said kyiv would be in russian hands in one to four days. it's day six now. and that's surprised the kremlin too. the intention was, as many sources have confirmed, that they would deliver kyiv to the kremlin as a subordinated occupied city no later than tuesday with the initial plan that it should be delivered by sunday, now, we see it's not delivered as of today, it is far from being taken over, and i think this causes frustration, this causes embarrassment at the top. russia has modernised its military in recent years. but so has ukraine.
7:44 pm
it was rebuilt after russia annexed crimea in 201a. back then, it was caught off guard by russia's aggression and not prepared. the government increased military spending. western allies have provided military training. and military aid like anti—tank and anti—aircraft missiles. these weapons have been essential in this conflict — russia has yet to establish air supremacy over ukraine. there have been lots of videos of downed russian planes and of this — this is in kharkiv and allegedly shows burnt out russian tanks on the road. this video has been verified by the bbc but the source is unknown. a former us army official told the washington post that that suggests "russian armour is of poorer quality than had been assumed". us says russia also hoped for the quick collapse of president zelensky�*s government. but since the start of the invasion,
7:45 pm
he has been defiant. translation: we will not lay down any weapons, - we will defend our state because our weapons are our truth. president zelensky has called on others to do the same. men aged between 18 and 60 are not allowed to leave ukraine and are expected to fight. and thousands have. this is kyiv. these people are part of ukraine's territorial defence forces. that's an organised, civilian army that fights to protect individual cities. they're becoming an official part of the ukrainian military. they are supplied with weapons and ammunition and taught how to fight. a former ukrainian minister says they're ready to fight russia when they try to take kyiv. people are not scared, of course, you know, it's scary,
7:46 pm
but i think mentally everyone already made the decision, at any cause they will defend the city, at any cause, they will defend the country. putinjust doesn't understand is, that the people will be defending the city to the last moment. and all these hundreds of tanks that are moving towards kyiv, a lot of it will be destroyed by our defence forces. and russia will pay a very heavy price. there are other kinds of resistance too. ukraine's defence ministry encouraged residents "to make molotov cocktails and neutralise the enemy". molotov cocktails are firebombs and can be used as a weapon. this is in the city of lyiv — civilians are making molotov cocktails here. they learnt how to do make them in 201a. one of them explained why. this was our own grassroots decision of our personnel at the brewery to do whatever we can when we can to help win this war.
7:47 pm
there are videos circulating social media of ukrainians standing up to russian troops. all these videos have been verified by the bbc — but their sources are unknown. it shows people in the now russian occupied city of berdyansk — that's in south—east ukraine. they've surrounded russian vehicles and are shouting "berdyansk is ukraine!" this man tries to stop russian tanks advancing with his bare hands — then kneels down in front of it. this shows a ukrainian crowd mobbing a russian vehicle in eastern ukraine. once they get to it, some climb on top in time as well and it is for us top in time as well and it is for us to to stop in its tracks. and let me show you two more clips.
7:48 pm
7:49 pm
when russia invaded. you were on a girls week away or soemthing to spain? yes, our family stay in ukraine in kyiv, and those regions, so we want to go back home, we don't want to run away from ukraine. we really were, we have no sleep, three nights, it's terrible. i can't even express what i feel when i understand that my child is 2000 km from me and i'm sitting in spain, it's sunny, it's very comfortable, and ukraine is at war. it's awful. despite this resistance — there are fears of what's to come. douglas lute, a former us mbassador to nato told the new york times it's too early to be triumphalist". adding, "putin has a lot of cards to play." but this ukrainian mp believes
7:50 pm
the resistance will hold. putin has miscalculated the ukrainian people. he was thinking that he's going to be fighting the ukrainian army, which is 215,000 people, but he could have kept in mind 60,000 of the national guard, but now what he has seen as he is actually fighting a0 million ukrainians, and in those numbers, we are overwhelming. we are seeing evidence from all over ukraine of people with their bare hands stopping the tanks in their cities come their villages. we are seeing people who never had guns in their hands before patrolling the streets to make sure that they find all the infiltrators that they have sent you are a citizen —— cities and towns. there is an amazing resistance on the side of ukrainian people and everyone is getting involved. it's notjust members of parliament, it's notjust members of parliament, its regular folks on the ground, some of those people i would probably have huge political disagreements with,
7:51 pm
but as of now, we all stay united and we are a0 million against the russian army here in ukraine. we're going to talk about how the international sporting world has reacted against russia's invasion of ukraine now. russia — and its ally belarus — have been banned from taking part in events. the international olympic committee has urged sports federations to exclude russian and belarusian athletes from competitions. they released this statement on monday — and said in cases where it's impossible to prevent athletes from taking part, they should not be allowed to compete under the names of russia or belarus. adding — "no national symbols, colours, flags or anthems should be displayed." it's a ban that's been used in the past against yugoslavia under slobodan milosevic and south africa under apartheid. it comes ahead of the winter paralympics in beijing — that starts on friday. the internation paralympic committe has called a board meeting on wednesday to decide whether to ban russian — and belurussian — athletes. here's its president andrew parsons.
7:52 pm
everyone is entitled to their opinion, we are hearing voices from athletes from different unions, from different sectors of society, and everyone is entitled to have their opinion, but when it comes to the paralympic games, its up to the ipc bread, and we need to follow our constitution, we need to follow the values that we stand for as a movement, as an organisation, so i don't want to preempt the decisions that we will be making tomorrow because we are 13 people, eight of us are former pear olympians, so i don't want to state my opinion now, because i do not want to influence. in football, all russian clubs — and their national teams — have been suspended from all competitions by fifa and uefa. that means russia's is expelled from the world cup in qatar at the end of the year. it also means russian clubs are excluded from the europa league — spartak moscow were due to play in that this month. st petersburg will no longer host uefa's champions
7:53 pm
league final in may. the game will now take place in paris. footballers are showing solidarity with ukraine too — this is the caraboa cup at wembly stadium on sunday. and vladimir putin — who has a black belt injudo — has been suspended as honorary president of the international judo federation. and there's plenty more. let's hear from our sports presenter olly foster. the world athletics council, they have been meeting about this as well. they have announced that russia will not take part in any of their defence, in fact, they've banned by liberation athletes as well from their world series events, a very big yearfor well from their world series events, a very big year for athletics, that includes the world indoor championships this month. they start injust over a fortnight championships this month. they start in just over a fortnight in serbia, i believe. the world championships injuly, that is one of the biggest sports events in the global calendar
7:54 pm
as well. that is taking part in oregon in the usa, athleticsjoins, get this list, football, rugby, ice hockey, volleyball, rowing, curling, ice—skating, badminton, they have all imposed various sanctions against either russia or belarus or both, going under the russian flag. a couple major sports, matthew, with decisions to make, tennis, will be an interesting one. we reported this in the last 2a hours, pulling out of the tournament, refusing to play against a russian, the russian on the men's to her, he'sjust become the men's to her, he'sjust become the tennis number one yesterday. now, they don't compete for a rush on the men's tour or the women's tour, but can those two is actually stop them from earning a living? that's a decision they are going to have to make, perhaps they're going to compete as neutrals. formula 1, they've already taken the russian grand prix at the calendar. we need that. the world motorsport
7:55 pm
counsellor holding an emergency meeting right now discussing this crisis and whether the russian driver is going to be able to drive this season. and tennis, they can continue to compete in international events, but not under the name our flag compete in international events, but not under the name ourflag of russia or belarus. the ukrainian tennis player sergiy stakhovsky is taking it a step further. he's preparing to take up arms and joining the reserves in ukraine. he spoke to bbc sport presenter karthi gnanasegaram. you only stopped playing tennis a few weeks ago at the australian open. how are you feeling about the moment about where you are and leaving your wife and children behind? horrible. i think nobody should ever have that option at all and doing that, but it is very hard for me to say how i did it. i'm still not sure how did i do it. i know it is extremely hard on my wife. my kids don't know why i'm here. they're too little to understand what is going on. where do your kids think
7:56 pm
you are at the moment? maybe just left for another tennis tournament. i will see you shortly as we continue our coverage. hello there. after that sensation of warmth from a strengthening sunshine overhead, areas that saw the blue skies today, like here in parts of scotland, you're going to feel the chill tonight with temperatures widely below freezing. different story further south with conditions a bit more like this, and it's this sort of look more of us will have as we go into wednesday. there's the cloud which kept things a bit gray, misty and damp across some southern areas. heavy bursts of rain from that creeping its way northwards, but with clearer skies across scotland, northern ireland, northern england for much of the night, this is where we will see temperatures drop below freezing, may be as low as —7 through some sheltered glens of aberdeenshire. but the rain or drizzle towards the south does become more extensive, edging into north wales, parts of northern england first thing tomorrow morning. and temperatures don't really drop here through the night,
7:57 pm
7—8 celsius, as i said, compared to the subzero temperatures, especially so across scotland as we start the new day. so here's the chart as we go into wednesday. our weather system continues to work its way northwards. we'll have a bit more breeze as well across these western areas and even across scotland where the sunshine's out. there will be more of a breeze around, that will make it feel a bit more chilly after that cold start. the cloud, rain, drizzle across wales, midlands, southern england, then pushes into northern england, northern ireland through the morning and into the afternoon, through some southern parts of scotland. it's going to be quite murky over the hills. we could see a little bit of brightness breakthrough parts of wales and the southwest. if we do, 11—12 degrees. most places in single figures. whilst we've got the sunshine still in northern scotland, more of a breeze will make it feel chillier than today. so that breeze then takes the cloud and patchy rain across scotland as we go through into wednesday evening and wednesday night. with all that cloud around, one decaying weather front across the uk, another one pushing in from the west. it will be a much milder start on thursday for all, but it will be a bit of a damp start as well. the weather front quickly
7:58 pm
pushing its way eastwards away from some western areas as we go through thursday morning. so a better chance of brightening up here, but its meeting resistance from developing southeasterly flow across the north sea. and that means the weather front may grind to a halt. eastern scotland down the spine of england with outbreaks of rain continuing into the afternoon and a rather gray, misty look to go with it. temperatures 9—12 celsius. similar sort of temperatures, actually, through the rest of the week and into the weekend. high pressure, though, builds around our weather front, the problem is the weather front gets trapped. plenty of cloud around, some patchy drizzle, but gradually turning drier through the weekend. see you soon.
8:00 pm
dozens are confirmed to have died, as russia escalates its attacks on ukraine. strikes hit ukraine's capital kyiv and its second—biggest city kharkiv, killing civilians. as a russian military convoy heads for kyiv — ukraine's president has this warning. translation: kharkiv and kyiv are the most important - targets for russia now, the terror is aimed at breaking us, breaking our resistance. president zelensky receives a standing ovation at the european parliament — telling them, "nobody will break us." meawhile, western diplomats walk out of a un meeting as russian officials defend the invasion.
8:01 pm
as the international criminal court says war crimes may have been committed in ukraine — we'll take a look at why they've come to that conclusion. russia's invasion of ukraine is on its sixth day — and the attacks have intensified. here you can see a russian air strike on kyiv�*s main television tower in the heart of the ukrainian capital which took some broadcasts off air. here you can see firefighters trying to extinguish fires in the vicinity of the tv tower mast. the attack also damaged a nearby memorial to the victims of the nazi holocaust. it marks the infamous babi yar massacre of sovietjews. here's a tweet from president zelensky reacting to the bombing. it says...
8:02 pm
russian has warned kyiv residents that it is preparing to hit targets in the capital. meanwhile this huge russian military convoy is advancing towards the capital kyiv, thought to be around 60 kilometres long. the mayor of kyiv gave this televised address. translation: dear friends. our situation is complicated. the enemies close to the outskirts of the capital. our armed forces are fighting heroically for our land. we are preparing to defend kyiv. there are fortifications at the entrances to the city. checkpoints are installed. i urge everyone to keep their composure. do not go out unnecessarily. keep shelter at the sound of the alarm. sviatoslav yurash, became ukraine's youngest mp just a few years ago and now says he is preparing to defend kyiv with a kalashnikov in hand. he spoke to us from there.
8:03 pm
they went through chernobyl exclusion zone and taking over the nuclear power plant and created unimaginable threats to the whole of europe by destroying the infrastructure set up there in the accident in 1986. they also are going from the eastern border basically trying to block us off in the east of ts and there making different airborne incursions all over the place and thankfully i will people be putting them back with everything they've got. people are arming themselves with some hunting rifles to hunt and push away the invasion there. let me bring up this map. the areas in red here, show the parts of ukraine now under russian control, with the fighting highlighted
8:04 pm
in several key cities and regions to the north, east and south of the country. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet is in kyiv — she told us what it's like in the city. everyone knows about this convoy. i think these images which have gone right around the world, that they were made available in stark black and grey. the movement of this huge convoy inching its way towards the ukrainian capital. it is only moving very slowly but seems that it is on its way here. the big question is how soon will it actually come right to the edge of the city? this is the sixth day of russia's invasion and we see notjust that and much convoy but, if you have just mentioned, there's been the attack close to the tv tower and then this very serious warning from the russian defence minister that people should move away from security installations.
8:05 pm
people who work in those buildings but also people in the surrounding areas. so you can sense the mounting anxiety here where both ukrainians and fell and sa should we leave the city and and saying should we leave the city and if you leave the city is it more dangerous to be on the road? maybe we should just stay underground? is that the safest place to be? and the questions being asked not just into the questions and the questions being asked notjust in kyiv being asked notjust in kyiv but in kharkiv, the second—largest city, mariopol to the south and northern cities as russian forces advance in attack. there've also been further attacks on the eastern city of kharkiv. it's ukraine's second largest city — about 1.5 million people live there. the images we are about to show you are distressing. this is reportedly kharkiv�*s regional administrative building being hit by a russian cruise missile. ukraine's president zelensky says the heavy bombardment of kharkiv amounts to a war crime. he says eyewitness accounts suggest civilians were
8:06 pm
deliberately targeted. a prosecutor at the international criminal court, says he wants to investigate. this shows the aftermath of that attack in freedom square in central kharkiv. at least ten people were killed and 35 injured. an opera house and concert hall were also hit by a russian missile on tuesday morning. these pictures were filmed by local residents in kharkiv. some show what appear to be dead bodies lying on the streets. a rescue worker sent this update after the strike. translation: the regional state | administration building has been| partially destroyed as a result of an artillery strike. in buildings nearby a stairwell has collapsed and there are people under the rubble. rescue workers have recovered six people, they are about 20 injured. eight fire and rescue vehicles and about 80 personnel at the scene. the rescuers are sifting through the rubble, removing those injured and the bodies of those killed. our work is ongoing.
8:07 pm
let's hear from president zelensky — he addressed the european parliament on the threat to ukraine's two largest cities. translation: kharkiv and kyiv are the most important - targets for russia now. the terror is aimed at breaking us, breaking our resistance. they are advancing on our capital in the same way they are advancing on kharkiv. that is why the defence of the capital is the key priority for the state. the bbc also spoke to ukraine's former secretary of the national security — for his take on russia's latest attacks. he's at an undisclosed location in the country. all these actions in the past days, including the bombing of kharkiv yesterday and today was the act of intimidation and threatening the population of kharkiv, the population of other cities that are under attack now. obviously, the population of kyiv.
8:08 pm
russian forces are also reported to have surrounded the city of kherson. the strategic port lies on the black sea in southern ukraine near the russian controlled crimean peninsula. here you can see soldiers wearing white armbands patrolling the streets of kherson. the local mayor says russian forces have set up checkpoints surrounding the city. and here in the southern ukrainian port city of berdyansk tanks have been seen on the streets. also in the southern city of mariupol, there were strong words from the mayor who said... "russian nazis seek the genocide of the ukrainian nation. we will fight until the last bullet... if they run out, we will use our teeth against the enemy that is moving towards mariupol." so russia is not in control of significant parts of ukraine's territory. russian troops are trying to surround kyiv and have continued to fire missiles and rockets on ukraine's second city kharkiv. rabbi moshe moskovitz spoke
8:09 pm
to the bbc about the impact of the war localjewish community in kharkiv. many people are living in the synagogue because they have no shelter to be. we are here in the house which is next to the synagogue and we go back and forth whenever we can. yesterday we were able to go outside at three o'clock in the afternoon, four o'clock in the afternoon we are trying to help as many people possible for the all money and we tried to get them food, medicines and the other hand to try to give them hope, faith and happiness in these hard times we are living. and this is the rabbi's wife speaking more about the situation they are facing in kharkiv. my 90—year—old father is stuck somewhere and can't move i have lady who is blind and can't get out of her house. we are desperately trying to manage you get a few packages out in had brave drivers ready to risk their lives to take hot
8:10 pm
food for other people. i want to also share with my husband's message that we feel that the whole world is caring about us and worried about the situation over here. outside of ukraine — un human rights council members are meeting for a second day in geneva. and in brussels, president zelensky addressed an extraordinary session of the european parliament via video link. here's the reaction to his speech. and here's some of the speech that caused that reaction. translation: we are fighting, we are fighting for our - land, for ourfreedom.
8:11 pm
believe me, despite the fact that all our cities are blocked nobody shall occupy our country. our cities, believe me i risk in our country. you can hear there that even his translator in that session was moved to tears. mr zelensky said his country was paying a high price forfreedom. he also said this. translation: but we also fight to be equal members of europe. _ and i believe that today we demonstrate to everybody that we are europeans and together with us the european union will be stronger.
8:12 pm
mr zelensky repeated his call for ukraine to be admitted into the eu under a fast—track procedure. the accession path to the european union is a long and complicated process and it takes years to complete. here's our correspondent bethany bell from brussels. before the war ukraine, which is not officially an accession candidate, it was thought it needed to do much more work in terms of democratic sunak democratic norms and curbing corruption. now there have been expressions of support for a possible fast tracking to allow ukraine to perhaps become an accession candidate from some countries in eastern europe. poland, the baltic states, the czech republic and a number of other countries put out a statement yesterday saying that they would support perhaps fast tracking this process. in other countries noticeably in the west of the european union has said this isn't the moment
8:13 pm
to be doing that. speaking after mr zelensky�*s address, the european commission president said this. the destiny of ukraine is at stake but our own fate also lies in the balance. ursula von leyen said that for the first time ever the eu would be using funds from the european budget to provide ukraine with military equipment pledging 1 billion euros to the crisis, that is e500m to purchase and deliver equipment and e500m for humanitarian aid. let's hear more. i am well aware that the sanctions will come at a cost for our economy too. i know this. and i want to speak honestly to the people of europe, we have endured two years of pandemic and we all wished that we could focus on our economic
8:14 pm
and social recovery. but i believe the people of europe understand very well that we must stand up against this cruel aggression. yes, protecting our liberty comes at a price but this is a defining moment and this is the cost we are willing to pay because freedom is priceless, honourable members. this is our principal. that's the eu. nato's secretary general is in estonia meeting with the country's prime minister. he told reporters that nato was supplying arms and humanitarian aid to ukraine. but he also said this. but nato is not going to be part of the conflict. so nato is not going to send troops into ukraine or move planes into ukrainian airspace. also on a tour of nato
8:15 pm
border countries is the uk prime minister boris johnson. he's already been to poland where at a press event he was confronted by a ukrainian activist. britain guarantees our security under the memorandum so you are coming to poland, you not coming to kyiv, prime minister. because you are afraid for that because nato is not willing to defend, because nato is afraid of world war iii but it is already started. there ukrainian children are there taken a hit. you talking about no sanctions but they are not sanctioned, he's in london, his children are not in the bombardments, his children are in london. putin's children are in the netherlands. in germany, in mansions where all these mansion seized? i don't see that. i see that my family members, that my team members are saying that we are crying,
8:16 pm
we don't know where to run. this is what is happening, prime minister. thank you, thank you very much for your questions. and thank you for getting here today. i'm glad that you have been able to get here. i just want to say that i'm acutely conscious that there is not enough that we can do, as the uk government to help in a way that you want. i got to be honest about that. when you talk about the no zone, as i said to zelensky, i think a couple of times, unfortunately, the implication of that is that the uk would be engaged in shooting down russian planes, engaged in direct combat with russia, that's not something that we can do or that we've envisaged. i think the consequences of that would be truly very, very difficult. meanwhile, at the un human rights council meeting
8:17 pm
in geneva, the us secretary of state questioned whether russia should remain a member of the council. one can reasonably ask whether the un member state that tries to take over another un member states while committing horrific human rights abuses and causing massive humanitarian suffering should be allowed to remain on this counsel. russia's foreign minister also spoke at the special emergency meeting. here's how he was received. with a mass walk out by western ambassadors as soon as he began to speak. sergei lavrov was addressing both the un human rights council and the un conference on disarmament. here's some of what he said. translation: the west have shut their eyes starting - from the 2013 when the radicals illegally elected president and started expelling everything russian
8:18 pm
from the country. we hope that kyiv will come to senses and that they will start the dialogue with the population of during recent times the criminal activities of kyiv regime were activised. we have a lot of evidence against the violation of human rights by the kyiv authorities. here'sjenny hill in moscow on that speach. he made two points about ukraine ukraine weapons. first he said that he believed ukraine still had old soviet nuclear capabilities and may be some
8:19 pm
technology that was left over from the soviet union. but he also said that russia would do absolutely everything he could to stop ukraine acquiring nuclear weapons. this tells us a lot about one of russia's big aimes here. one of the aims potentially behind the war in ukraine. and that is we know that vladimir putin does not like nato and he does not like it's eastward expansion and he is concerned about ukraine wanting to join nato. during the speech mr lavrov also said that russia deemed it unacceptable that american nuclear weapons are in european countries. as you know, countries like germany host those weapons under those nato obligation said it was on those countries gave the nuclear weapons back to the us. bear in mind, this is a foreign minister of a country which currently has its nuclear deterrent forces on a special state of alert. this is one of the big issues that we must bear in mind
8:20 pm
when we look at what's happening in ukraine and we look at what russia is doing and it's doing it. the kremlin has continued to insist sanctions won't make it change course and denies that it is targeting civilians — despite the rising number of ukrainians who have been killed by russian forces. but it remains unclear how the russian public view this conflict and whether they believe what they're being told by the state media. here's our moscow correspondent steve rosenberg. from the military chiefs in moscow, no hint of compromise. russia's defence minister says the special military operation in ukraine will continue until mission accomplished. from the politicians here, denials that russia's an aggressor. turns out it is the west�*s fault.
8:21 pm
your country, all european countries, united states, western civilisation world, is in an information and hybrid war with russia right now. russian state tv continues to avoid the words "war" or "invasion". they're banned. instead, the official message is that in ukraine, russia is using force to bring peace. like many russians, valentina gets all her news from state tv. and believes it. in russia, television is a powerful tool for shaping public opinion about the war. a lot of what they say on tv, it is truth, it's true. how do you know? well, you know, when i read in a foreign newspaper, that,
8:22 pm
you know, russians bomb kharkiv and so on, i know it is not true because they promised not to do this, and they will never do this. kremlin control of the media producing an inverted reality of russia's war in ukraine. not everyone here accepts the official kremlin line. russians who find alternative sources of information on their smartphones, on their computers, they tend to reach different conclusions about what is happening in ukraine. this is ekaterina. she has decided to pack up and leave russia. she doesn't watch russian tv. she's sickened by the invasion and has lost hope for russia's future. i don't know, ifeel like i don't have a life any more, maybe something change and new government could work
8:23 pm
with this situation, maybe. maybe, i don't know. but with this government, with this president, no future for many, many years. ekaterina is leaving behind a country isolated by sanctions. a country at war. it's now almost week since russia launched its invasion, and their forces continue to move towards us here in kyiv. our defence correspondent jonathan beale has this assessment of where we are, and what russia's strategy might be from here. russia's advances have slowed in recent days. there has been evidence of poor planning, with the russians struggling with resupplying their armoured convoys with basics like fuel and seriously underestimating the strength of ukrainian resistance. but they have still gained ground here in the south. they are now targeting the city of mariupol, and they may soon begin to cut off the ukrainian army, dug
8:24 pm
in here, in the east. in the north—east, russian forces have also surrounded ukraine's second largest city of kharkiv, which has come under heavy shelling. now let us look at the capital kyiv. the russian goal is to surround the city. they have not been able do that yet, but they are now massing forces. this satellite image shows a massive russian military convoy approaching from the north, around a0 miles long. military experts say that is a worrying sign. this massive russian convoy is extremely indicative, because it shows how much they are pouring in to surrounding kyiv, in order then to take the city, but it is a huge target for ukrainian air power, if it still exists, and the fact the ukrainians are not attacking it, is, i am afraid, a very telling indication of the fact that the ukrainians may be running out of forces they can use in any sort of organised way. there is also evidence of a change in tactics — more ruthless and more brutal. one sign of that is the weapons the russians now appear to be using.
8:25 pm
the russians have significant artillery firepower, like these multiple rocket launchers seen here on a russian pre—exercise in belarus, just before the invasion. devastating unguided weapons, which are now targeting urban areas. this was the effect of those rocket launchers on the city of kharkiv yesterday, when it came under russian attack. there is also reports the russians are using cluster munitions, banned by many countries including the uk. this looks like them being used in a car park, again in kharkiv yesterday. and this is a reminder of what the russian military is capable of doing, with indiscriminate air strikes and artillery, reducing the city of aleppo in syria to rubble. showing scant concern for civilian life.
8:26 pm
thank you for that assessment jonathan. i will be back with you in a few minutes as we continue our coverage. after that sensation of warmth from a strengthening sunshine overhead areas that saw blue skies today like here in parts of scotland you will feel the chill tonight with temperatures below freezing. a different story further south where conditions are like this and it is this look more of us would have as we go into wednesday. there is a cloud which kept things great and misty and damp across southern areas and a heavy burst of rain creeping north but the clear skies across scotland and northern ireland for much of the night it is maybe the temperatures drop below freezing may be as low as —7 through the sheltered plains of aberdeenshire. the rain or drizzle in the south becomes extensive into north wales
8:27 pm
and parts of northern england first thing tomorrow morning and temperatures don't drop here through the night. 7 or 8 degrees compared to subzero temperatures especially across scotland as we start the new day. here is the chart as we go into wednesday. i will weather system will work north and have a bit more breeze as well across the western areas and across scotland where the sunshine is out. it will feel colder after that cold start. the rain across wales, midlands, pushing into northern england and ireland in the morning and into the afternoon. it will be murky and we could see brightness breaking through different parts of wales in the southwest. 11, 12 degrees. most places in single figures. still some sunshine in northern scotland and it will feel colder than today. the breeze will take the cloud across scotland as he go into wednesday evening and wednesday night. another pushing him from the last and a much milder start on thursday. it will be
8:28 pm
a damp start as well. the weather front pushing east away from some western areas thursday morning. a chance of brightening up but it's chance of brightening up but its meeting resistance from developing flow across in the north sea and the weather funds may grind to a halt. there will be outbreaks of rain continuing into the afternoon and a rather grey, misty look to go with it. temperatures nine to 12 degrees. high pressure will build around a little at the front and it gets trapped with plenty of cloud. gradually turning dry through the weekend.
8:30 pm
hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. dozens are confirmed to have died as russia escalates its attacks on ukraine. strikes hit ukraine's capital kyiv and its second—biggest city kharkiv, killing civilians. a russian military convoy is now heading for kyiv — we have a report from clive myrie in the capital. and ukraine's president has this warning. translation: kharkiv and kyiv are the most important targets | for russia now. the terror is aimed at breaking us, breaking our resistance. president zelensky receives a standing ovation at the european parliament and told meps "nobody will break us." meawhile, western diplomats walk out of a un meeting — as russian officials defend the invasion. and we'll look at the humanitarian impact — as the un says more than half a million people have
8:31 pm
fled the country. let's get the latest on the russian invasion of ukraine. russia has attacked a tv tower in kyiv, hitting nearby broadcast facilities and killing 5 people. it comes as a russian military convoy continues to advance towards the capital. the bbc�*s clive myrie is in kyiv. as kyiv slept, there were nightmares. a russian missile strike obliterates a target on the outskirts of the capital. in the heart of the city, they watch and pray. to the west, on kyiv�*s outskirts, an armoured column claims the streets. charred bodies litter the road. this is the city of bucha.
8:32 pm
this is ukraine's war. translation: long live | ukraine, ukraine will win. putin will be finished. we will stop him. we'll not only stop him, we'll destroy him. russia invaded ukraine nearly a week ago. and their advance across this land has been slowed by the dogged resistance of government forces and partisans. but moscow has so much more in reserve. maybe too much. a satellite image captures a vast column of russian armour on the northern approach to kyiv. a war caravan of muscovian might. if vladimir putin wants to unleash hell, he'll have the tools to do it. air raid siren drones. missile strikes on the edge of the capital are just the start. translation: the night was tough, but there are currently no _ russian armed forces in kyiv.
8:33 pm
the enemy is trying to breach the city, unfortunately, unfortunately, russian sabotage groups are acting in kyiv now. several clashes and shootings have happened. by day, kyiv�*s defenders do what they can. the military, nervous, search for possible russian saboteurs and spies. fear, dread, hangs heavy here. the second city of kharkiv has already faced russian steel. kyiv is undoubtedly next. translation: kharkiv and kyiv are the most important targets | for russia now and the terror is aimed at breaking us, breaking our resistance. they advance on our capital in the same way they are advancing on kharkiv. that is why the defence of the capital is the key priority for the state. and today russia attempted to
8:34 pm
take out kyiv�*s main tv tower, but it's still standing. david and goliath, ukraine against russia. as an informal home guard make petrol bombs out of used beer bottles, what chance they can win? the prosecutor at the international criminal court now says he plans to open an investigation into russia's invasion of ukraine, saying there is a �*reasonable basis�* to believe war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed. let's take a moment to look at how we define a war crime — and what power there is to prosecute when it is. russia's assault on ukraine is intensifying. this is kharkiv in the east of ukraine, and president zelensky is clear on what we are seeing. translation: russian forces have brutally fired on kharkiv _ from rocket artillery. it is clearly a war crime. if civilians were targeted,
8:35 pm
that would be a war crime. and otherfootage raises questions about russia's conduct. this attack may have been a cluster bomb. they're banned by many countries, though not by russia or ukraine, but borisjohnson is clear on what we're seeing. vladimir putin is prepared to use barbaric and indiscriminate tactics against innocent civilians. other russian attacks include this, in the north eastern town of okhtyrka. ukraine says 70 soldiers died and makes this claim. they used this vacuum bomb today, which is actually prohibited by geneva convention. vacuum bombs ignite a firebomb that sucks in all surrounding oxygen. they're a thermobaric weapon whose use is condemned by the international community, though it's not confirmed a vacuum bomb was used in this attack. there's also another city.
8:36 pm
this is verified footage of an air strike on friday. now the city's encircled. to hold it under siege would be a war crime. to these questions, russia offers this defence. translation: let me stress that strikes are carried out only - on military targets and exclusively with high—precision weapons. during military clashes the ukrainian side does not hesitate to use civilians as human shields. it hasn't, though, offered any evidence that ukraine is doing this. and the un is clear on who is bearing the cost in this war. the scale of civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure, even in these very early days, is alarming. it is alarming, but are russia's actions war crimes? the uk appears to think so. we also will be supporting the effort to make sure that evidence of war crimes is preserved. and the european union says this is... geopolitical terrorism, pure and simple. but even if a war crime has been
8:37 pm
committed, justice is a long road. it could come via the international criminal court in the hague. its prosecutor says... convictions do happen — the former bosnian serb commander ratko mladic was found guilty of war crimes committed in the yugoslav wars of the 1990s. now, there's no doubting the horror of what's happening in ukraine today, and for ukraine's government there's no doubting what this amounts to. there is no purgatory for war criminals. they go straight to hell. war crimes often hinge on intent, on whether people have been deliberately killed illegally, targeting civilians for example. russia denies doing this, but there's scepticism from a watching world.
8:38 pm
the un says more than 660,000 people are now known to have fled ukraine since the beginning of the russian invasion. most of the refugees fleeing are women, children, and the elderly. that's because all ukrainian men aged 18 to 60 are being prevented from leaving because they're being told to stay and fight for their country. let's take a look at some of the countries ukrainian refugees are fleeing to. more than 100,000 people will have crossed the border into hungary by the end of tuesday. and, in neighbouring poland, some people have waited more than 60 hours in freezing conditions to enter. here's filippo grandi, the un's high commissioner for refugees, on the latest numbers at the borders. last night at the security council, i reported 520,000 refugees. now, less than 2a hours before, the latest figure, ijust got it, it's 677,000, so another 150,000 in less than 2a hours.
8:39 pm
here's a ukrainian family who fled the capital kyiv and have now arrived safely at the hungarian border. we hope that everyone will help us in kyiv, in ukraine, because it's catastrophic. i think everyone knows this. it's a terrible situation, terrible. it's terrible. west ukraine then here, yes, and now we, yes, yes, my husband can drive, but he stayed. he stayed there, yes, of course. he drove you to the border? yes, of course. our correspondent nick thorpe is at the ukrainian—hungary border. this place, i'm actually standing in the primary school, it's normally a very sleepy little
8:40 pm
village, but as you can see behind me, it's now packed with people. this particular centre is run by the baptist charity here, the baptist church charity here in hungary. the numbers to hungary so far, we expect it to pass 100,000 by this evening, coming across five different border crossings like this one. this is one of the most hectic ones i've seen so far, but very well—organised. just to give one example, a mother here explaining to the people running this centre that her eight—year—old son needs insulin. immediately, they were on to her case and trying on to her case and are trying to organise that for her here because of his diabetic condition. so scenes like this up and down hungary's border with ukraine more than 100,000 as of this evening. our correspondent kasia madera is at the ukrainian—polish border. the numbers are growing, and it's understandable why when you're on the ground here near the border between poland and ukraine.
8:41 pm
we're just a few minutes away from the border. this is as close as you can get, because this is where people that have just crossed get bussed those last couple of kilometres to this point here. this bus has just arrived with these people. this is the first time that they've walked. they've got to poland and they are exhausted. they tell the same story — a really difficultjourney to get to this point, the safety of poland. they've come from all over ukraine, lots of different nationalities, not just ukrainian nationals. lots of different nationalities coming through. everybody with the same story — they're tired, they're worried and they're just relieved to get somewhere where they can rest for a few moments at least before they start to think about what is the next stage. as we've been showing you, russia has used more brutal military tactics in ukraine
8:42 pm
in the last 2a hours. and president zelensky said the reason was this. translation: the terror is aimed at breaking us, | breaking our resistance. we're going look at that resistance now — because it's been seen all across ukraine. russia's military is one of the largest, most sophisticated in the world but as russia expert michael kofman tweeted... ukraine says russia has lost thousands of soldiers. it's very difficult to verify that number, but ukraine is saying it's as many as a,500. russia hasn't released official numbers. and there's been heavier than expected losses of russian tanks, warplanes, and other equipment. the washington post puts it simply — "the war in ukraine isn't going russia's way". some of that will be to do
8:43 pm
with the fact that russia has not yet taken any major cities — including kyiv — as this map shows. we know they are, though, closing in on these cities. but before the invasion, us intelligence said kyiv would be in russian hands in one to four days. it's day six now. and that may have surprised the kremlin too. here's the editor of bellingcat. the intention was as many sources have confirmed that they would deliver kyiv to the kremlin as a subordinated occupied city no later than tuesday with the initial plan that it should be delivered by last sunday. we see it's not delivered as of today and we see it's far from being taken over. i think this causes frustration and this causes embarrassment at the top. russia has modernised its military in recent years. but so has ukraine. it was very much rebuilt after russia annexed crimea in 201a. back then, it was caught off guard by russia's aggression — it wasn't prepared. the same can't be true this time.
8:44 pm
hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. the government has increased military spending, western allies have provided military training and military aid like anti—tank and anti—aircraft missiles. these weapons have been essential in this conflict — russia has yet to establish air supremacy over ukraine. there have been lots of videos of downed russian planes and of this — this is in kharkiv and allegedly shows burnt out russian military vehicle on the road. this video has been verified by the bbc but the source is unknown. a former us army official told the washington post that that suggests "russian armor is of poorer quality than had been assumed". us says russia also hoped for the quick collapse of president zelensky�*s government. but since the start of the invasion, he has been defiant. translation: we will not lay down any weapons. - we will defend our state because our weapons are our truth.
8:45 pm
president zelensky has called on others to do the same. we know that men aged between 18 and 60 are not allowed to leave ukraine — and are expected to fight. thousands appear willing to. this is kyiv. these people are part of ukraine's territorial defense forces. that's an organized, civilian army that fights to protect individual cities. they're becoming an official part of the ukrainian military. they are supplied with weapons and ammunition — and taught how to fight. one former ukrainian minister says they're ready to fight russia when they try to take kyiv. people are not scared. of course it's, you know, it's scary but i think mentally everyone made the decision already that at any cost they will defend
8:46 pm
the city and at any costthey will defend the country and putin does not understand the people will be defending the city till the last moment and all these hundreds of tanks that are moving towards kyiv, a lot of it will be destroyed by our defences. and russia will pay a very high price. there are other kinds of resistance too. ukraine's defence ministry encouraged residents "to make molotov cocktails and neutralise the enemy". molotov cocktails are firebombs and can be used as a weapon. this is in the city of lviv — civilians are making molotov cocktails here. they learnt how to do make them in 201a. one of them explained why. this was our own grassroots decision of our personnel at the brewery to do whatever we can when we can to help with this war. ——to do whatever we can when we can to help win this war. there are videos circulating social media of ukrainians standing up to russian troops. all these videos i'm about to show you have been verified by the bbc — but their sources are unknown. it shows people in the now russian occupied city of berdyansk — that's in south—east ukraine.
8:47 pm
"berdyansk is in ukraine!" this man tries to stop russian tanks advancing with his bare hands — then kneels down in front of it. this shows a ukrainian crowd mobbing a russian vehicle in eastern ukraine. a russian vehicle in eastern and let me show you two more clips. a russian vehicle in eastern as a russian vehicle in eastern the vehicle comes in n more as the vehicle comes in more and more and more people stand in front of it, many carrying the blue and yellow flags we have seen this vehicle is a man is on the top hitting the windscreen as well. these are two more clips to show you.
8:48 pm
ukrainians are also traveling home from abroad too. rte's fergal o'brien posted this... and the bbc�*s lewis goodall spoke to some ukrainian women on the ukraine—poland border — they were on holiday in spain when russia invaded. you are on a girls week away or something to spain? £311" you are on a girls week away or something to spain? our family is still in ukraine, _ something to spain? our family is still in ukraine, in _ something to spain? our family is still in ukraine, in kyiv, _ something to spain? our family is still in ukraine, in kyiv, in - still in ukraine, in kyiv, in edessa, in lviv so we want to get
8:49 pm
back home. we don't want to run away from ukraine. we had no sleep. three nights. it is terrible. i can't even express what i feel but i understand that my child is 2000 kilometres from me and i see this in spain and it is sunny and very comfortable and in ukraine as well. it's awful. despite this resistance — there are fears of what's to come. douglas lute, a former us mbassador to nato told the new york times it's too early to be triumphalist" adding, "putin has a lot of cards to play." but this ukrainian mp believes the resistance will hold. putin has miscalculated the ukrainian people. he was thinking he is going to be fighting the ukrainian army which is 215,000 people but he could have been keeping in mind the 6000 of the national guard but now what he is seeing is he's fighting 1a million ukrainians because in those numbers are overwhelming. we have seen evidence
8:50 pm
from all over ukraine of people with their bare hands stopping the tanks in their villages and cities and we have seen people who never had guns in their hands before patrolling the streets to make sure they find all the infiltrators that they have sent to our cities and towns so this is this amazing resistance on the side of the ukrainian people and everyone is getting involved and it's notjust members of parliament, its regular folks on the ground and some of the people i would probably have huge political disagreements with but as of now we all stay united and we are a0 million against russian army here in ukraine. we're going to talk about how the international sporting world has reacted against russia's invasion of ukraine now. russia — and its ally belarus — have been banned from taking part in events. the international olympic committee
8:51 pm
has urged sports federations to exclude russian and belarusian athletes from competitions. they released this statement on monday — and said in cases where it's impossible to prevent athletes from taking part, they should not be allowed to compete under the names of russia or belarus. adding — "no national symbols, colours, flags or anthems should be displayed." it's a ban that's been used in the past against yugoslavia under slobodan milosevic and south africa under apartheid. it comes ahead of the winter paralympics in beijing — that starts on friday. the internation paralympic committe has called a board meeting on wednesday to decide whether to ban russian — and belurussian — athletes. here's its president andrew parsons. in football, all russian clubs — and their national teams — have been suspended from all competitions by fifa and uefa. that means russia's is expelled from the world cup in qatar at the end of the year. it also means russian clubs are excluded from the europa league — spartak moscow were due to play in that this month. st petersburg will no longer host uefa's champions league final in may. the game will now take place in paris. footballers are showing solidarity with ukraine too — this is the caraboa cup at wembly stadium on sunday. and vladimir putin — who has a black belt injudo — has been suspended as honorary president of the international judo federation. there's more to report. let's hear from our sports
8:52 pm
presenter olly foster. the world athletics council, they've been meeting about this as well. they have announced that russia will not take part in any of their events. in fact, they've banned belarusian athletes, as well, from all a very big year for athletics because that includes the world indoor championships this month. they start in just over a fortnight in serbia, i believe. the world championships injuly. that is one of the biggest sports events in the global calendar, as well. that is taking part in oregon in the usa so athletics nowjoined, football, rugby, ice hockey, volleyball, welding, curling, ice skating, swimming, badminton, they've all imposed various sanctions against either russia or belarus or both or them going underneath the russian flag. a couple of major sports with decisions to make. tennis, that's going to be
8:53 pm
an interesting one. the ukrainian svitolina we reported pulling out of a tournament refusing to play against russian. the russian daniil medvedev men's tour he's become the tennis number one yesterday. they don't per se compete for russia on the men's tour or the women's tour, but can those tours stop them from earning a living? that's a decision they would have to make perhaps they will compete as neutrals. formula 1, they have taken the russian grand prix off the calendar, and we knew that in the world motorsport council are holding an emergency meeting right now discussing this crisis and whether the russian driver is going to be able to drive this season. the world of tennis says russian and belarusian players can continue to compete in international events and grand slams — but not under the name orflag of russia or belarus. some ukrainian tennis players have refused to play russian athletes. but one tennis player, sergiy stakhovsky is taking it a step further.
8:54 pm
he's preparing to take up arms and join the reserves in ukraine. he spoke to bbc sport. you will only stop playing tennis a few weeks ago at the australian open. how are you feeling at the moment about where you aren't leaving a wife and your children behind? ., , ., �* ., behind? horrible. iwouldn't have that option _ behind? horrible. iwouldn't have that option at _ behind? horrible. iwouldn't have that option at all _ behind? horrible. iwouldn't have that option at all but _ behind? horrible. iwouldn't have that option at all but it _ behind? horrible. iwouldn't have that option at all but it is - behind? horrible. iwouldn't have that option at all but it is very - that option at all but it is very hard for me to say how they are doing. i am still not sure how i would do it. i know it is extremely hard and my wife. they don't understand what is going on. where do our understand what is going on. where do your kids — understand what is going on. where do your kids think— understand what is going on. where do your kids think you _ understand what is going on. where do your kids think you have - understand what is going on. where do your kids think you have at - do your kids think you have at the moment? , ., ., , moment? just another tennis tournament, _ moment? just another tennis tournament, i— moment? just another tennis tournament, i don't - moment? just another tennis tournament, i don't know. i. moment? just another tennis i tournament, i don't know. itold tournament, i don't know. i told them i will be right back. what tournament, i don't know. itold them i will be right back. what was our wife's them i will be right back. what was your wife's reaction? _ them i will be right back. what was your wife's reaction? not _ them i will be right back. what was your wife's reaction? not great. . them i will be right back. what was| your wife's reaction? not great. she didn't speak — your wife's reaction? not great. she didn't speak to _ your wife's reaction? not great. she didn't speak to me _ your wife's reaction? not great. she didn't speak to me for _ your wife's reaction? not great. she didn't speak to me for a day. it - your wife's reaction? not great. she didn't speak to me for a day. it is i didn't speak to me for a day. it is hard to leave to explain the motivation of me coming here even myself but i wouldn't do it any differently. i can see all the other people putting themselves in their hands way in sending their wives and kids to the borderline interesting behind. ., ., �* .,

with temperatures widely below freezing. different story further south where conditions were a bit more like this and it is the sort of look more of us will have as we go into wednesday. there is the cloud which kept things a bit grey, misty and damp across southern areas and heavy rain inverse back. creeping its way northwards across southern ireland, scotland and southern england from which the night away will see temperatures drop below freezing and may be as low as —7000 sheltered glens of aberdeenshire but the final result was the south does become more expensive, edging into north wales parts of northern england first thing tomorrow morning in haemorrhages really leading drop here through the night, 7—8 compared to the subzero temperatures across scotland as we start a new day. here's the chart as a base into wednesday. by the system continues to work its way northwards. we will have a bit more visa because these western areas and even across scotland where the sun shines out. there will be more breeze and that will make it feel a bit chilly after the call stack. cloud, rain and drizzle across wales, midlands,
