good morning welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. our headlines today. "we will not forgive. we will not forget." ukraine's president zelensky vows to punish moscow's troops as he reacts to the killing of civilians attempting to flee. translation: we will find every | bleep who has sho at our cities, | our people, which bombed our land, which launched rockets, which gave the order to press start. there will be no quiet place on this earth for you, except for the grave. a third attempt at a temporary russian ceasefire
6:01 am
in ukraine will get under way in an hour to open up humanitarian corridors in several major cities. ukrainian officials say the bombardment continued overnight across the country, worsening the humanitarian crisis. the cost of oil surges to a ill—year high. it comes as the us considers a ban on russian oil. and as global food prices rocket and petrol hits record levels, i'll assess the economic impact of the war. sport continues to show their support for ukraine. in manchester, fans were united at the etihad on derby day ahead of a premier league clash that extends city's lead and leaves united fans describing their performance as embarassing. it their performance as embarassing. is a cold day ah widespread it is a cold day ahead with widespread frost in the north of the country and it will be increasingly breezy but for most, we will see spring sunshine. more details throughout the programme.
6:02 am
it's monday, 7th march. our main story. in the last few minutes, a third attempt at a temporary russian ceasefire in ukraine has been announced and is expected to start in the next hour. the russian defence ministry says it will hold fire and humanitarian corridors are expected to be opened in several cities, including the capital kyiv, to allow people to leave. meanwhile ukraine's president, volodymyr zelenskiy, has condemned attacks targeting civilians, saying they will never be forgotten and never be forgiven. four members of the same family, including two children, died yesterday when their escape route from the city of irpin, near kyiv, was shelled by russian forces. dan johnson reports. this is what war does to people. it frightens them into leaving their homes, forces them to become refugees in their own country and, eventually, someone else's. and millions of ukrainians have now made this potentially
6:03 am
deadly dash to safety. today, the bombing continuing, i decided to escape because it is really dangerous. no bread, no milk, no eggs, no nothing. all is closed. it is terrible. we were underground, but it was a chance to escape, so we took our luggage and came here by can — and, last night, ukraine's president warned his fearful people to expect more and even worse. translation: russia has officially announced that tomorrow - there will be shelling of our territory, our factories, our defence complex. most were built decades ago, even by the soviet government, built in cities. and, now, they are in the middle of an ordinary urban environment. thousands of people work there.
6:04 am
hundreds of thousands live nearby. this is murder. deliberate murder. russian aggression isn't going unchallenged. this is thought to be another plane brought down from ukrainian skies. the russian invasion has stuttered and stalled. but there is frustration that international words of support and economic sanctions haven't stopped it. translation: the audacity - of the aggressor is a clear signal to the west that sanctions against russia are not enough, because they didn't understand, did not feel, they did not see that the world is really determined to stop this war. you will not hide from this reality, you will not hide from new murders in ukraine. there is a plan for poland to send ukraine some of its jets in return
6:05 am
for american replacements, but nato still refuses to impose a no—fly zone, fearful of direct conflict with russia. so that means that people in places like mariupol suffering more of this. the daily bombardment that is wiping out cities and taking ukrainian lives. the second planned cease fire and evacuation wasn't able to go ahead yesterday, so the buses to safety sat empty while the shelling continued. translation: we heard i the promise there would be humanitarian corridors. they do not exist. instead of humanitarian corridors, they can only make them bloody. in russia, anti—war protests continue, despite thousands of arrests and the restrictions on reporting about the war. ordinary russians are seeing the impact of economic sanctions, and western businesses shutting up shop. but it is ukrainian family is feeling the worst of this. but it is ukrainian families feeling the worst of this.
6:06 am
more than a million and a half have now crossed the border and many more are coming. the rest shelter underground. and the wartime spirit is strong. russia's bogged down invasion may now rely on increased bombing, which would devastate more cities. but ukrainian result will be harder to break. dan johnson, bbc news. we are reporting about a ceasefire reported to start in an hour which is coming from russian state media. no confirmation from ukraine on that latest as yet. we will try to speak to our correspondence in kyiv to talk about that and get a confirmation about what we know. a law allowing more action to be taken against companies and individuals with links to russian president vladimir putin will be debated by mps today. the government has made changes to the economic crime bill, which it says will make more sanctions possible. we're joined now by our chief political correspondent,
6:07 am
adam fleming. is this the same bill that was put on the shelf a few weeks ago? for ears on the shelf a few weeks ago? pr?" years governments have talked about taking action to get more insight and control over how foreigners spend money on things in the uk. now it is finally happening after years of waiting. the legislation will arrive in parliament today and the idea is mps get through the complicated stages of passing a new law in one day, so a sense of urgency. it will set up a register of owners of properties who are from abroad, he will have to register themselves. so it will be easier to work out which wealthy millionaires and billionaires and mansions. it will make it easier to use unexplained wealth orders that the government forces people to front up where their caches from if it is not clear. it will tweak the existing sanctions regime. to make it easier
6:08 am
and quickerfor the sanctions regime. to make it easier and quicker for the government to put restrictions on activities of more people. that is what the government proposes. opposition parties and a lot of conservative backbenchers propose their own ideas to toughen this up to either bring it in faster rather than the six months in the legislation. labour says it should be 28 days. and a lot of backbenchers saying you need to go further and it should not be a bad existing sanctions, it should be things like seizing yachts, property, things like that. interesting to see over the course of the morning before it happens in parliament, whether the government tweaks its own proposals to reflect demands from others.— we'll be joined by minister for europe and north america, james cleverly, at 7.30.
6:09 am
we heard more information with the russian defence ministry saying it will open humanitarian corridors in several ukrainian cities. at the personal request at president macron on, due to start at nine o'clock their time. we have had two temporary ceasefires that did not work over the weekend. both sides complained, the russians complained about the ukrainians and the ukrainians saying they cause the end of the ceasefire. i was talking about james ward—prowse and i think we can go to him. good morning. what more can you tell us? we him. good morning. what more can you tell us? ~ ., ., him. good morning. what more can you tell us? ~ . ., ., ., . ., tell us? we had an announcement from the russian defence _ tell us? we had an announcement from the russian defence ministry _ tell us? we had an announcement from the russian defence ministry that - the russian defence ministry that after a personal request by the french president they will open up
6:10 am
humanitarian corridors, temporary ceasefires from a number of ukrainian cities, in about an hour, we are told. they include kyiv. sumy to the north, kharkiv and mariupol. these temporary ceasefires will be prearranged roots that will let people who want to leave travel along those routes and it will take them into russia. it poses two questions. one, how willing people will be to leave their homes and move to russia, the very country trying to pull ukraine back into its control. that will be a tough choice for people. then you could argue what choice they have given the increasing bombardment. the second and more pressing question is whether the temporary ceasefires will work. over the weekend two were attempted after agreement between
6:11 am
ukrainian and russian officials in the south—east, mariupol. the red cross organised it and the idea was to take 200,000 people out of mariupol a longer reach north—west. both attempts at those temporary ceasefires lasted less than an hour. both sides accused each other of starting fighting again. shelves soon landed on the city once more and there was fighting along that corridor. as i talk, we have the rumble of explosions in the background. that marks the end of quite a quiet 2a hours. we have seen fighting in the west yesterday as russian troops start to advance on the city. the worry from the ukrainian army chiefs is they will look to consolidate, resupply through the border with belarus and launch an all—out assault on kyiv, on the capital, their ultimate prize in this so—called military
6:12 am
operation, that will probably influence people's decisions on whether they want to leave and take the risk of humanitarian corridors. you talk about the ceasefires that did not hold. in the midst of that, we have seen horrific human stories unfolding. it we have seen horrific human stories unfoldinu. ., , , , unfolding. it has been very difficult- — unfolding. it has been very difficult. you _ unfolding. it has been very difficult. you can _ unfolding. it has been very difficult. you can see - unfolding. it has been very difficult. you can see what| unfolding. it has been very i difficult. you can see what is facing people living in the west of care. towns along there have been bombarded. by russian forces moving in. we have driven around the city. in the middle here, it is quiet. you have military checkpoints. it is tense, peaceful is probably not the right word. then you move along roads one is crowded with thousands trying to escape and then you see more of a military presence, more of a defensive field. on the western outskirts of kyiv yesterday, in one town, four people including a mother and two children were killed by
6:13 am
mortarfire as and two children were killed by mortar fire as they tried to escape. russian troops are trying to take down ukrainian artillery, we are told, but it is not clear civilians were deliberately targeted in this way. but as we have seen in the past 12 days, civilians are getting caught at the heart of the conflict. moscow accused of targeting civilians through bombing, mortar fire. and we are seeing on the outskirts people escaping inward, trying to escape mortar fire, outskirts people escaping inward, trying to escape mortarfire, coming in as the russian troops look to consolidate and advance. it is not yet clear whether the russians have the ability yet to encircle the whole of kyiv. it is a large city, but that is the concern from ukrainian military chiefs. we have seen so much. — ukrainian military chiefs. we have seen so much, you _ ukrainian military chiefs. we have seen so much, you talking - ukrainian military chiefs. we have seen so much, you talking to - ukrainian military chiefs. we have seen so much, you talking to us, | seen so much, you talking to us, reporting from underground, on the roof, what is life like for you at the moment and people you are with?
6:14 am
it is getting quieter, which is a reflection i think of the wider movement of people, wider scale of people looking to escape the violence, people who have decided to stay i think i've done so. but it is very quiet. less conversation happening. people are in a strange routine out ofjust sleeping, not looking more than an hour ahead, i think, is a common coping strategy, and not looking at tomorrow, next week, because it can change like that. we have had 2a hours of relative quiet. that lifts morale. people could go upstairs, get some natural light, move around, go for a walk. take the kids to let off steam. but that can change quickly the moment shells start to fall and you have the rumble, the occasional explosion that gets closer, the
6:15 am
crackle of gunfire that people strangely get used to. it affects mood and it can change like that. people are doing what they need to do to get through hour by hour, as this war rumbles on and takes the toll on just about everyone involved, notjust here in the capital but across the country. james, great to talk to you. do take care. james waterhouse in gear. we will bring you the latest throughout the programme. news is developing. we have correspondence in various places and we will try to bring you “p places and we will try to bring you up to date. now the weather with carol. good morning. if you have not stepped out, it is a cold start to the day, actually colder as we move further north. in scotland and northern england, temperatures
6:16 am
currently —5, —6 in places. a widespread frost. today will be dry, with sunny spells, but the general feel will be cold. we are starting with more cloud in parts of england and wales with showers in the south—east. they will fade. cloud will break up. it will move north through the day. far north of scotland hanging onto blue skies. the breeze will pick up. the temperatures down on where we would expect them at this stage. through the evening and overnight, a lot of dry weather with cloud moving north. still windy. especially around the west of scotland and irish sea coasts and areas. although not as cold as last night, we are looking at widespread frost. tomorrow, we start with sunshine. it will be a windy day. showers ahead of the

6:19 am
trying to survive like the parents of the gentleman. when i got this news yesterday, i was just so happy that i finally know that at least my parents are alive. so it was one of the happiest moments of my life. that is the most amazing news. you must be so relieved after such an incredibly stressful and difficult time. ., , ., incredibly stressful and difficult time. . , ., , ., time. that is right. that is not all. i time. that is right. that is not all- i also _ time. that is right. that is not all. i also managed _ time. that is right. that is not all. i also managed to - time. that is right. that is not all. i also managed to find - time. that is right. that is not all. i also managed to find a l time. that is right. that is not l all. i also managed to find a girl who is involved in a volunteer movement in mariupol. she is part of a charity foundation. she used to be a charity foundation. she used to be a friend of mine ten years ago. i know also there are volunteers that are going around the city, they risk their lives and give water and food
6:20 am
to some citizens who live in these bomb shelters. so, again, it gives me hope that my parents got some food and water, due to this foundation. it was also amazing because now i know at least they are able to survive and to drink and to eat something. i did not talk to them and i have not been able to contact them since tuesday last week. so it is day number six today, but still i only hear rumours and information from other persons that they are ok and trying to survive. that is all that i have and i am grateful for what i know now. i that is all that i have and i am grateful for what i know now. i know there are lots _ grateful for what i know now. i know there are lots of _ grateful for what i know now. i know there are lots of people _ grateful for what i know now. i know there are lots of people in _ grateful for what i know now. i know there are lots of people in a - there are lots of people in a similar situation, desperately trying to find out more information about family and friends. how are you managing to keep in touch and

6:22 am
-- 30 occasions but they happen sometimes. —— 30 seconds. some of the population of mariupol have this possibility sometimes to talk to their relatives. this information is immediately spread in telegram chats and there are different topics about different districts and relatives like me. they are in those chats. round—the—clock. we are trying to find information and if we managed to find some, we share it with friends, with another chat. i have got some photos of my street. the bombed houses. due to such chats. this is the only connection we have with the city. sometimes, a colleague of my mother, she managed to contact me via instagram. during these six days she wrote me two messages in instagram. while they
6:23 am
are walking around the city trying to catch the signal, they are risking their lives, because it is nonstop fire. i wonder how these volunteers even come to the street of my parents, because they did not cease fire and they bombed. houses are burning. and these hero people, theyjust are burning. and these hero people, they just go are burning. and these hero people, theyjust go and distribute food and water. and i believe, maybe, there are some special systems of connection for the military people who are policemen, because policemen in mariupol have their own channel in telegram. and they leave some answers there. i do not know how, but ordinary people do not have normal access to internet, to mobile networks. every day i try to call
6:24 am
and reach my mum and dad, maybe 20, 30 times. i do the same with my grandmother, my aunt, godmother, but no connection. i have not been able to reach anybody during these six days. it to reach anybody during these six da s. , �* to reach anybody during these six da s. , ~ ., , , ., days. it is... at least this morning ou have days. it is... at least this morning you have given — days. it is. .. at least this morning you have given us— days. it is... at least this morning you have given us great _ days. it is... at least this morning you have given us great news - days. it is... at least this morning you have given us great news you | you have given us great news you have confirmation they are ok. great to hear from you. have confirmation they are ok. great to hearfrom you. thank have confirmation they are ok. great to hear from you. thank you so have confirmation they are ok. great to hearfrom you. thank you so much. that is some good news. yes, after yesterday. a lot of people in the same desperate situation trying to find out about relatives in other parts of ukraine, some of them may be out to other countries. that is something we will touch on during the programme. let's take a look at today's papers. this image of civilians fleeing the ukrainian city of irpin, near kyiv yesterday features on the front of the guardian.
6:25 am
the paper reports that french president emmanuel macron has implored russia's president putin to let civilians flee ukraine's besieged cities. the times, like many of this morning's papers, features another striking image of a man and a child fleeing yesterday's shelling in irpin, which left many forced to take cover as russian bombs fell. a young family, including a mother and her two children, were killed as they attempted to flee the area. the daily express features the same image, alongside the headline �*pure evil�*. the paper says ukrainians were killed �*in cold blood' by putin's forces as they attempted to escape the conflict. "save them" is the headline on the daily mirror, accompanied by that same photograph — the paper says the uk "must do more" after it was revealed a total of 50 visas had so far been issued to those seeking refuge in britain. some other news this morning.
6:26 am
it's nearly five years since a bomb detonated at an ariana grande concert in manchester killing 22 people, including eight—year—old saffie—rose roussos, who was the youngest victim of the attack. for the last 18 months, a public inquiry has been examining the details of what happened. our north of england correspondent, judith moritz, has been spending time with saffie's parents andrew and lisa. saffie! everything was ariana grande. so, in the end, we said look, go on then, let's get her tickets. she couldn't believe it. so excited, so happy. jumping up and down, screaming, jumping up and down. just going mad. so happy.
6:27 am
sometimes, my mind will go, she's died, and it's like a house dropping on you. it is a cruel life. that me and lisa are living. hello, this is saffie. this is my dad. this is my brother. this is me. and this is my mum. and this is my dog. life for the roussos family used to be happy chaos. we work as a chip shop. running a chippy in lancashire. now, they live hundreds of miles from their old life. we just basically escaped. i suppose a bit like running away. whenever i'm feeling really low, and i'm struggling, we go to the beach. i like that quiet time. in their new house, they have made
6:28 am
a new room for saffie. we don't want things put away in cupboards, in the loft. we want everything out. she is here with me. and i wouldn't have her anywhere else. lisa asked me to sit with her to look at saffie's baby things. baby roussos. she didn't have a name at first. my first curl. look at that. have you been able to bring yourself to open these boxes much? no, the first time i have done that one. it has been too hard? you have moved away, but you have brought her with you. yeah. she will always be with us, always. now, saffie's parents are packing their bags to return to the north. that will go to manchester, and that has got to go though and that
6:29 am
has got to go though in there. they know it will be hard, they are determined to give evidence in person at the public inquiry into the attack. it has given me sleepless nights, it has made me anxious. it is a horrible, nervy feeling. i know it is going to be emotionally draining. ijust keep saying it's for saffie, obviously. and i've got to do it. the journey north is a quest for answers, to understand if saffie could have survived if she had had better first aid. getting out there straightaway is quite important for you. - andrew and lisa spent years thinking saffie was killed instantly. but, through the inquiry process, they discovered that wasn't what happened. we knew that through these reports and finding out the whole truth that she survived for an hour after the detonation. may ijust say a couple of words as saffie's father.
6:30 am
so it does make you very angry to know that that little girl did everything she could to keep herself going and the system failed her. whilst the roussoses were in manchester, they gave something to the city. a time capsule for saffie laid at the new memorial to those who died. but they also hope to retrieve something lost. this is saffie's phone, which was badly damaged in the blast. lisa and andrew gave me the phone to see if we could recover anything from it. we took it to a digital expert and we found the last selfies saffie took on the way to the concert with her mum. this is the first time andrew and lisa have seen them. it's lovely, but, obviously really
6:31 am
sad at the same time. i'm glad i have found another one. precious things that we shouldn't be... that you take for granted, because you don't think of the worst, ever. why would you? but, afterwards, you realise how precious and important they are. the family find solace in cyprus, where they have flown to escape the pressure to make of the inquiry, and where they have happy, family memories. it just helps us just switch off for bit, particularly this time after giving evidence in the inquiry, this is exactly what we needed. is this from saffie? they have come here for the wedding of saffie's godmother. and though their sense of loss will never fade, there's space for celebration, too.
6:32 am
because it is love that carries them through. we will never be who we were. and we will never have what we had, but saffie is always with us and we will take her with us for ever. # happy birthday, dear saffie. you can't have closure. you don't want closure. # happy birthday, dear saffie. if you want to ask me a question about her, or what was she like, it is fine. i want to talk about her, i want to remember her, and i want everyone to remember her. the family's full story will be shown on bbc one tonight at 8pm in panorama's manchester arena bombing: saffie's story and is also available on bbc iplayer. time now to get
6:33 am
the newswhere you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. donations are continuing to pour in for the people of ukraine from across the capital with some londoners travelling to the region to support those fleeing. among them is andrew trotter who runs a business in romania. he's planning to deliver supplies to those in need at the border town of siret. i have an office with my company in cluj, which is romania. and i thought, actually, fly out to romania directly, buy lots of goods there, in cluj, put them on a truck up to, this border here, which is in siret on the ukrainian—romanian border. i just thought it seemed simpler than trying to send stuff from the uk in a truck that might take weeks to get there. tottenham football club will show its support for ukrainians at tonight's home match against everton. the club says players will warm up in shirts with the message "football stands together". a local children's choir
6:34 am
will perform a song of hope and the stadium will be lit up in solidarity. cameras designed to pick up excessively loud cars have caught almost 300 drivers in kensington and chelsea. the sensors were installed last year following years of complaints by residents. figures from the sunday times suggest over the past eight months 289 vehicles had readings of more than 100 decibels, which can be harmful to hearing. it's best known as an art gallery, but this month tate modern is showcasing dance. it's teaming up with sadlers wells theatre and the royal opera house for a special festival. the display of recently acquired works from trisha brown dance company is a really important way to enable visitors to experience dance who maybe would never go to see a contemporary dance show. let's take a look at the situation the tubes now. there's a good service so far this morning,
6:35 am
just that part closure of the northern line. for all other travel news tune in to your local bbc radio station. onto the weather now with nazaneen gaffar. hello, good morning. another fine day thanks to high pressure being in charge. but through this week we are going to see that high—pressure move away eastwards, and more of an atlantic influence coming through bringing wet weather particularly across northern and western parts of the uk. but it will also turn increasingly windy. the wind will change direction to more of a southerly flow, meaning it will become milder for parts of the south—east. back to the here and now, it is a chilly start out there this morning. it is bright and largely dry, maybe one or two showers. going into this afternoon, i think we will see increasing amounts of sunshine and largely dry conditions. an easterly breeze, though, so still feeling quite cool for the time of year with highs of four to seven celsius. into tonight, little change, it stays clear, chilly, mainly dry as well. however, it will turn increasingly breezy through tonight. and then for the outlook, as i mentioned, high—pressure edges away slowly. it becomes increasingly windy
6:36 am
through the middle of the week. but it will raise those temperatures so it will be quite mild. then into the weekend, i think there is a chance of a little bit of wet weather as well. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back to sally and dan. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. let's get up to date with everything that has been happening overnight in ukraine. danjohnson is here to run through the details. there are some breaking developments but i want to bring you up—to—date with where things stand. this is the 12th day since russian forces invaded ukraine. you can see here on the map the areas in red show where the russians are now said
6:37 am
to be in control and where they are making progress. ukraine's two biggest cities, the capital kyiv and the industrial city of kharkiv, here in the east, are still under the control of ukraine's government and military. kherson here in the south is the only major city to have fallen into russian control. remember crimea's been under russian control since it was invaded in 2014 and the area to the east, what's called the donbas, remember crimea's been under russian control since it was invaded in 2014 and the area to the east, what's called the donbas, has seen fighting since then between ukrainian forces and groups that want the country more closely aligned with russia. those groups have been in control there for the last few years. in the last half an hour, the russia defence ministry claims it will open new humanitarian corridors across multiple ukrainian cities this morning to allow civilians to evacuate. it says a ceasefire will take
6:38 am
place in half an hour. russian state media reports that evacuation routes will be set up in the capital kyiv, as well as kharkiv, mariupol and sumy. all of these cities are currently under a significant russian assault operation. russian inistry maps appear to show that the corridor from kyiv will lead to belarus and that from kharkiv, to russia. however ukrainian officials have yet to confirm this it has agreed to a ceasefire. yesterday in mariupol a second attempt to evacuate civilians trapped in the city failed again. both sides blamed the other for not observing an agreed ceasefire. the red cross had hoped to start evacuating 200,000 people from the city that has been surrounded and under siege. it says its teams began opening up the corridor before "hostilities resumed".
6:39 am
russian forces engaged in what's been described as a terrifying bombardment of the town of irpin, which isjust 12 miles from the capital kyiv. other towns in the same region have also come under heavy attack, as russian troops try to advance towards the capital. this is the sort of thing that's been happening. according to people there, barely a minute went by without an explosion and at least four people, from the same family, were killed as they tried to reach safety, after russian mortar shells targeted a damaged bridge they were using to cross the river. this was president volodomyr zelensky�*s reaction. translation: we will not forgive |the shooting of unarmed people, | destruction of our infrastructure. we will not forgive. hundreds and hundreds of victims, thousands and thousands suffering, and god will not forgive. not today, not tomorrow, never.
6:40 am
and instead of forgiveness, there will be a day ofjudgment. president zelensky also used his address last night to share his feelings on the current sanctions that have been imposed by the west so far. translation: the audacity - of the aggressor is a clear signal to the west that sanctions against russia are not enough, because they didn't understand. did not feel, they did not see that the world is really determined, really determined to stop this war. you will not hide from this reality. you will not hide from new murders in ukraine. more reports this morning on the renewed russian shelling of the southern port city of mykolaiv. the city's mayor has confirmed earlier reports that moscow's forces bombarded the city with artillery fire this morning. he says they're targeting residential buildings. the ukrainian resistance has been remarkable and the uk intelligence

assessment is that russian forces have made little progress in the last 48 hours. the invasion has got bogged down. the russian military looks badly prepared, supply lines haven't been reliable, equipment wasn't well maintained and morale is thought to be low amongst some of the young russian soldiers. but the response to that may well be even greater reliance on shelling and bombardment, this strategy of encircling cities then bombing them until there's hardly anything left. the damage that will do is almost unimaginable and it means more ukrainian lives will be lost, more families will be forced from their homes and we know 1.5 million have left the country already. thank you very much for that, dan johnson with the latest for us. lats johnson with the latest for us. lots to think about _ johnson with the latest for us. lots to think about this _ johnson with the latest for us. lots to think about this morning. we're joined now by our security correspondent gordon corera. lots to digest, can we start on that

you can find its own social media as well. the russian invasion of ukraine has upended lives and caused chaos for millions. many have fled the country while others have been forced to take up arms. but amidst the madness tender moments can still take place. that was certainly the case for one couple who married in kyiv. tim allman explains. meet this bride and groom, defenders of ukraine. no dress, no tuxedo, but still there were flowers, veil and confetti. the ceremony taking place at a checkpoint in kyiv. they have been together for 20 years, and never saw any reason to tie the knot. translation: we never saw any reason to tie the knot. translation: ~ . ., knot. translation: we decided to get married because _ knot. translation: we decided to get married because we _ knot. translation: we decided to get married because we live _ knot. translation: we decided to get married because we live in _ married because we live in challenging times. and you never know what's going to happen to you tomorrow. taste know what's going to happen to you tomorrow. ~ , tomorrow. we must live in the moment- _ tomorrow. we must live in the moment. many _ tomorrow. we must live in the moment. many people - tomorrow. we must live in the moment. many people talk - tomorrow. we must live in the i

6:49 am
war�* ahead of the game. this was an impressive performance for city, especially from this man. kevin de bruyne capped off a player—of—the match performance with two goals, this one giving city the lead. riyad mahrez also catching the eye with two goals of his own. 4—1 it finished with city going six points clear at the top of the league again. i think we were just in control. i don't think we gave a lot away to them. we found the right spaces and we attacked them in the right moments. and obviously, the third goal helps a lot for calming down the game, and then i think we kept the ball with us and it was very difficult for them to have any opportunities. and that defeat for manchester united means they move out of the champions league places as arsenal have leapfrogged them into fourth after they edged past watford 3—2. it was end—to—end at vicarage road with goals like this bicycle kick from cucho hernadez.
6:50 am
but arsenal hit back with a brilliant team goal finished expertly by gabriel martinelli. the win means arsenal are a point clear of manchester united, with three games in hand. celtic restored their lead at the top of the scottish premiership. they won 3—1 at livingston, james forrest with the pick of the goals. the result means the gap to defending champions rangers is now back to three points. a russian gymnast is being investigated after wearing a national war symbol on his leotard at the apparatus world cup in doha. ivan kuliak appeared with 'z�* on his chest. the letter has become symbolic with russia's invasion of ukraine. kuliak was standing next to a ukrainian competitor on the podium. the international gymnastics federation has opened disciplinary proceedings against kuliak for what it's called "shocking behaviour". from today, russian and belarusian athletes have been barred from competition as a result
6:51 am
of russia's invasion of ukraine. quickly before i go, there was a medal in beijing, the super combined bronze, the second medal of the championships. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. i have a beautiful picture to start with from one of our weather watchers, this is in the highlands, a nice quiet start but a cold one. todayit a nice quiet start but a cold one. today it will be a chilly feel wherever you are, with dry weather and sunny spells. a few showers in the south—east currently but they will fade. if you are stepping out, look at the temperatures, —6 across scotland and northern england. some frost around, a 12 degrees difference in temperature between the northern isles and elsewhere. a
6:52 am
frost in the north, some cloud in the south, that will break up drifting north. the brittle pick—up, and it will be windy in areas adjacent to the irish city. —— irish sea. it will be a breezy day for most. it will not be warm, seven in the north, nine further south. this evening and overnight, clearer skies, area of cloud pushing north, and the wind is still going to be a feature of the weather, especially out towards the west and with exposure. where we have the blue in the chart, you can expect some frost. we are looking at a widespread frost once again. he will start off with clear skies, a lot of sunshine around, but we have a weather front coming in from the west introducing thick cloud and rain preceded by a few showers. temperature wise tomorrow in the
6:53 am
breeze it will feel chilly, seven to 11 degrees. there is the risk of gales at times, across parts of north—west scotland and northern ireland with exposure. the weather front coming our way means the weather will turn more unsettled. the wind changes direction, with heavy and persistent rain. temperature wise, the yellow indicates milder temperatures but it will not last because the blue will use up the yellow from the west. we start with a dry and sunny note in central and eastern areas, then a weather front will introduce heavy and persistent rain. on wednesday it will be windier across england and wales, than tuesday, but milder, ten to 13 degrees. as we head into thursday, not as windy, remnants of a weather front across central and eastern parts with patchy light rain. later in the day a new weather
6:54 am
front comes into the west which will cross as during their stay followed by sunshine and showers, and it is turning milder with highs of up to 14 degrees. the cost of oil has hit a 14—year high. ben's here to explain. the latest price increase came after the us said it was considering a ban on russian oil supplies. the cost of crude oil at one point spiked to above $139 a barrel, the highest since 2008. oil has risen by more than 20% in the past week alone. the conflict triggered fears of a shortage of oil worldwide. so although the uk only imports a tiny fraction of its oil from russia, a potential global shortage pushes the price up for everyone. thatjump in the wholesale cost of fuel feeds through to the pumps. in the uk, the average price of petrol has risen above £1.50 a litre,
6:55 am
a record high. diesel costs even more. meanwhile a spike in gas prices amid the ukraine conflict has added to worries that uk household energy bills could reach nearly £3,000 a year by the autumn. and this morning there's a warning from the boss of one of the world's biggest fertiliser companies that our reliance on that russian product, combined with the war in ukraine, could prove a threat to food supplies around the world. he's been speaking to my colleague emma simpson. that has already happened. we saw the un food price index hit an all—time high back in early february. half of the world's population gets food as a result of fertiliser, because plants, just like as humans, they need nutrition in order to grow and fertiliser gives nutrients out in the field for the farmer. and if that's removed from the field, for some crops, they will drop by 50% in the first season.
6:56 am
so it's a vital part of food security for the whole world. do you think we could be heading for a globalfood crisis? yes, so, for me, it's not whether we are moving towards a global food crisis, it's how large the food crisis will be. the wholesale price of wheat hit a record high last week and it could go even higher. that's because overnight, ukraine's government introduced rules to control the export of wheat, as well as corn and sunflower oil. ukraine and russia account for around 30% of global wheat exports. the uk grows most of its wheat so we're much less reliant on eastern europe for it but that does not mean that britain is shielded from any global price hikes. the global price hikes. other thing to mention is if the price the other thing to mention is if the price of wheat goes up, potentially the price of bread, on top of high
6:57 am
petrol prices and household energy bills, the squeeze on the cost of living shows no signs of abating. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. the national headlines just after 7am. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. donations are continuing to pour in for the people of ukraine from across the capital with some londoners travelling to the region to support those fleeing. among them is andrew trotter, who runs a business in romania. he's planning to deliver supplies to those in need at the border town of siret. i have an office with my company in cluj, which is romania. and i thought, actually, fly out to romania directly, buy lots of goods there, in cluj, put them on a truck up to
6:58 am
this border here, which is in siret on the ukrainian—romanian border. i just thought it seemed simpler than trying to send stuff from the uk in a truck that might take weeks to get there. tottenham football club will show its support for ukraine at tonight's home match against everton. the club says players will warm up in shirts with the message football stands together, a local children's choir will perform a song of hope and the stadium will be lit up in solidarity. cameras designed to pick up excessively loud cars have caught almost 300 drivers in kensington and chelsea. the sensors were installed last year — following years of complaints by residents. figures from the sunday times suggest over the past eight months 289 vehicles had readings of more than a hundred decibels — which can be harmful to hearing. it's best known as an art gallery, but this month, tate modern is showcasing dance. it's teaming up with sadlers wells theatre and the royal opera house for a special festival. you might not associate it
6:59 am
with dance, so to be able the display of recently acquired works from trisha brown dance company is a really important way to enable visitors to experience dance who maybe would never go to see a contemporary dance show. let's take a look at the situation the tubes now. there's a good service so far this morning — just that part—closure of the northern line. for all other travel news tune in to your local bbc radio station. onto the weather now with nazaneen gaffar. hello, good morning. another fine day thanks to high pressure being in charge. but through this week we are going to see that high—pressure move away eastwards, and more of an atlantic influence coming through bringing wet weather particularly across northern and western parts of the uk. but it will also turn increasingly windy. the wind will change direction to more of a southerly flow, meaning it will become milder for parts of the south—east. back to the here and now, it is a chilly start out there this morning. it is bright and largely dry, maybe one or two showers. going into this afternoon, i think we will see increasing amounts of sunshine and largely dry conditions. an easterly breeze, though,
7:00 am
so still feeling quite cool for the time of year with highs of four to seven celsius. into tonight, little change, it stays clear, chilly, mainly dry as well. however, it will turn increasingly breezy through tonight. and then for the outlook, as i mentioned, high—pressure edges away slowly. it becomes increasingly windy through the middle of the week. but it will raise those temperatures so it will be quite mild. this then into the weekend, i think there is a chance of a little bit of wet weather as well. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back to sally and dan. bye for now. good morning welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. our headlines today. "we will not forgive. we will not forget." ukraine's president zelensky vows to punish moscow's troops as he reacts to the killing of civilians attempting to flee. translation: we will find everyj
7:01 am
bleep who has shot at our cities, our people, which bombed our land, which launched rockets, which gave the order to press start. there will be no quiet place on this earth for you, except for the grave. the russian military claim a third attempt at a temporary ceasefire in ukraine will get under way shortly to open up humanitarian corridors in several major cities. ukrainian authorities haven't confirmed. ukrainian officials say the bombardment continued overnight across the country, worsening the humanitarian crisis. sport continues to show their support for ukraine. in manchester, fans were united at the etihad on derby day ahead of a premier league clash that extends city's lead and leaves united fans describing their performance as embarassing. it as embarassing. is a frosty start for many and a
7:02 am
cold it is a frosty start for many and a cold day ahead. the breeze will pick up cold day ahead. the breeze will pick up through the day but most will see spring sunshine. all the details throughout the programme. it's monday, seventh march. our main story. the russian defence ministry claims it will hold a ceasefire in several ukrainian cities this morning. russian state media reports that humanitarian corridors could be opened in the port of mariupol, as well as the eastern cities of sumy and kharkiv, and the capital, kyiv. ministry maps appear to show that the corridor from kyiv could lead to belarus and from kharkiv, to russia. there's been no confirmation of the ceasefire from ukraine. ukraine's president, volodymyr zelenskiy, has condemned attacks targeting civilians, saying they will never be forgotten and never be forgiven. dan johnson reports. this is what war does to people. it frightens them into
7:03 am
leaving their homes, forces them to become refugees in their own country and, eventually, someone else's. and millions of ukrainians have now made this potentially deadly dash to safety. today, the bombing continuing, and i decided to escape because it is really dangerous. no bread, no milk, no eggs, no nothing. all is closed. it is terrible. we were underground, but it was a chance to escape, so we took our luggage and came here by car. and, last night, ukraine's president warned his fearful people to expect more and even worse. translation: russia has officially announced that tomorrow - there will be shelling of our territory, our factories, our defence complex. most were built decades
7:04 am
ago, even by the soviet government, built in cities. and now, they are in the middle of an ordinary urban environment. thousands of people work there. hundreds of thousands live nearby. this is murder. deliberate murder. russian aggression isn't going unchallenged. this is thought to be another plane brought down from ukrainian skies. the russian invasion has stuttered and stalled. but there is frustration that international words of support and economic sanctions haven't stopped it. translation: the audacity - of the aggressor is a clear signal to the west that sanctions against russia are not enough, because they didn't understand, did not feel, they did not see that the world is really determined to stop this war. you will not hide from this reality, you will not hide from new murders in ukraine.
7:05 am
there is a plan for poland to send ukraine some of its jets in return for american replacements, but nato still refuses to impose a no—fly zone, fearful of direct conflict with russia. so that means that people in places like mariupol suffering more of this. the daily bombardment that is wiping out cities and taking ukrainian lives. a second planned cease fire and evacuation wasn't able to go ahead yesterday, so the buses to safety sat empty while the shelling continued. translation: we heard i the promise there would be humanitarian corridors. they do not exist. instead of humanitarian corridors, they can only make them bloody. this morning the russians say they will open corridors across cities. the ceasefire is due to start around now. they will be set up in kyiv,
7:06 am
kharkiv, sumy, city is under significant russian assault. but ukrainian officials have yet to confirm this ceasefire plan. in russia, anti—war protests continue, despite thousands of arrests and the restrictions on reporting about the war. ordinary russians are seeing the impact of economic sanctions and western businesses shutting up shop. but it is ukrainian families feeling the worst of this. more than a million and a half have now crossed the border and many more are coming. the rest shelter underground. and the wartime spirit is strong. russia's bogged down invasion may now rely on increased bombing, which would devastate more cities. but ukrainian resolve will be harder to break. dan johnson, bbc news. we can speak now to our europe

7:08 am
hardly get in, that particular reception area, where different ngos, charities, are handing out food and also when people have been fed and watered, got a hot drink, having got of these trains, they go through another doorway into an area outside where accommodation is being organised. an idea of numbers this morning. the un total so far 1.5 million. i did a tally this morning of about1 million in poland, 200,000 here in hungary, a quarter of a million in romania, a quarter of a million in romania, a quarter of a million refugees so far coming through moldova and another 100,000 plus coming through slovakia. i think the total is lagging behind the individual countries. my total this morning is 1.8 million people who have left ukraine so far to these five countries. 1600 miles down the western border of ukraine.

thank you. we're joined now by our kyiv correspondent james waterhouse. we have heard reports from russian state media about the possibility of this new ceasefire. what state media about the possibility of this new ceasefire.— this new ceasefire. what can you tell us? that _ this new ceasefire. what can you tell us? that is _ this new ceasefire. what can you tell us? that is the _ this new ceasefire. what can you tell us? that is the russian - this new ceasefire. what can you i tell us? that is the russian defence ministry has announced a number of temporary ceasefires, humanitarian routes out of ukrainian cities that army chiefs here are worried are fast becoming surrounded by russian invaders, falling under siege, if you like, including mariupol in the south—east. where the ukrainian government says a humanitarian crisis is unfolding. almost half a million without running water, electricity, heating, in the middle of winter. the hope at the weekend
7:10 am
was 200,000 would be evacuated along the route organised by the red cross. two attempts at a ceasefire were made. they lasted less than an hour, and both sides accusing each other of fighting each other again. as of now there is another attempt to get people out. and then you have kharkiv in the east, sumy to the north as well as kyiv here. where army chiefs are worried that the city could find itself under a heavier assault by russian troops forcing their way in from the west. this poses two difficult choices for ukrainian people who have decided to stay till this point. do they take the risk? do they risk the fragility of other ceasefires attempted over the weekend and put themselves in harm's way? the second challenge is the destinations. destinations will be belarus, russia's ally and main facilitator in the so—called special

military operation, or russia itself. the much bigger and more powerful neighbour trying to bring ukraine back into its control, orchestrating this unprecedented invasion. it is a difficult choice for people. but we will see if ceasefire is held and how many people are able to get out who want to. g . , . a law allowing more action to be taken against companies and individuals with links to russian president vladimir putin will be debated by mps today. the government has made changes to the economic crime bill, which it says will make more sanctions possible. we're joined now by our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. this is the result of increasing pressure?— this is the result of increasing ressure? �* , ., pressure? and there will be more ressure pressure? and there will be more pressure throughout _ pressure? and there will be more pressure throughout the - pressure? and there will be more pressure throughout the day - pressure? and there will be more pressure throughout the day to i pressure? and there will be more | pressure throughout the day to go further. foryears, governments have said they will do more to keep track of foreign money coming into the
7:12 am
country and being spent on expensive houses. this crisis has forced them to do something about it and the economic crime bill is what we are getting, which goes to parliament today and the government hopes to get mps to do all stages to get legislation ready to go in one day, so this could be law by a week today. it was set up a register of foreign owners of properties in the uk and we will be able to see exactly who owns what and who has bought what over the past 20 years. and they will beef up unexplained wealth orders where the authorities can ask foreigners exactly where their cash has come from, if it is not clear. and since this legislation was published in draft form in a few days ago, the government has changed it to make it easier to apply more sanctions, to make it easier to restrict operations of individuals and businesses. but there are lots of mps, including some in the
7:13 am
conservative party who want it to go further. i think we will hear more pressure applied to the government over the next hours is this parliamentary process gets under way. a couple of other things happening. more diplomacy with boris johnson seeing the prime ministers of canada and the netherlands who are visiting. also clarification. if you pick up the sun newspaper you might see a story about priti patel the home secretary saying the uk will open a route for refugees from ukraine so many more can come. my understanding is she was talking about stuff that has already been announced. there will be two ways ukrainians can come to britain. if they have a family member here, they canjoin them. second, the government will announce a route where you can be sponsored by an individual or organisation or community to come from ukraine to the uk. this is not a new thing that will be brought in, it is about the

we'rejoined now by dominik stillhart from the international committee of the red cross. good morning. i do not know if you manage to catch that incredible conversation we were just having. about the situation in ukraine. we have reported on the programme residents including women and children came underfire residents including women and children came under fire as they tried to leave mariupol at the weekend when the ceasefires were supposed to be in place. what can the red cross do to try to ensure that a ceasefire is supported to protect people trying to get to safety? protect people trying to get to safe ? ,., .. protect people trying to get to safe ? ,., ., ., ., ., protect people trying to get to safe ? ., ., ., ., safety? good morning to all of you and thank you _ safety? good morning to all of you and thank you for _ safety? good morning to all of you and thank you for having _ safety? good morning to all of you and thank you for having me - safety? good morning to all of you and thank you for having me on i safety? good morning to all of you| and thank you for having me on the programme. i want to say how heartbreaking this testimony is we just heard. i have myself received calls in switzerland some people who have relatives, elderly people,
7:22 am
children in mariupol and they are desperately asking for help. our team is on the ground. yesterday, for the second time in a row, tried to facilitate, implement what we were hoping was an agreement that would finally allow people to leave this desperate situation in mariupol. unfortunately, as we all know, it has not happened. on our side, we continue to talk to both parties in orderfor them to side, we continue to talk to both parties in order for them to agree on a concrete, actionable and precise plan that would allow people who would like to leave this town and other towns in the —— to do so
7:23 am
and other towns in the —— to do so and with dignity. brute and other towns in the -- to do so and with dignity.— and with dignity. we heard from russian state _ and with dignity. we heard from russian state media _ and with dignity. we heard from russian state media this - and with dignity. we heard from i russian state media this morning. they announced a ceasefire that was supposed to start 22 minutes ago. no confirmation from ukrainians themselves except this from the deputy mayor of mariupol who said there is no information about a current ceasefire, so that ceasefire has only been suggested by information coming from russia and the corridors that would get people out of ukraine, one goes to belarus and the other to russia. what can happen now on the ground certainly from your knowledge of staff working on the ground, what will they be trying to get people to do, how will they try to help people and get them to a place of safety?— to a place of safety? well, see, this is exactly _ to a place of safety? well, see, this is exactly the _ to a place of safety? well, see, this is exactly the challenge - to a place of safety? well, see, | this is exactly the challenge that the people on the ground are facing. as long as there is not an agreement
7:24 am
by both parties, and an agreement as we have been communicating to both parties for three days, that is concrete. what time, which road, can civilians leave? can goods and supplies come in? as long as there is not that sort of concrete and precise agreement, it is extremely difficult to move forward, as we have seen yesterday. our people were leaving that convoy. they arrived at the first checkpoint only to realise that the road they were supposed to take was actually mined. so we have conversations, urging them to have
7:25 am
an agreement on roads, times, what can leave, what can stay, what can coming, otherwise it will be difficult, including for our people on the ground, to facilitate. for ou and on the ground, to facilitate. for you and your — on the ground, to facilitate. for you and your staff, the suggestion of a ceasefire from the russian defence ministry this morning, does it exist right now?— it exist right now? honestly, i don't know- — it exist right now? honestly, i don't know. this _ it exist right now? honestly, i don't know. this morning, - it exist right now? honestly, i i don't know. this morning, what it exist right now? honestly, i - don't know. this morning, what is worrying, we have not heard anything from the ukrainian side. these parties are talking to each other. i really hope they have reached an agreement that is implemented. == agreement that is implemented. -- can be agreement that is implemented. —— can be implemented. your reaction to the scenes we saw at the weekend when people try to get to a place of safety and we saw shelling continuing. we have images our

7:28 am
london, i'm tolu adeoye. donations are continuing to pour in for the people of ukraine from across the capital with some londoners travelling to the region to support those fleeing. among them is andrew trotter who runs a business in romania. he's planning to deliver supplies to those in need at the border town of siret. i have an office with my company in cluj, which is romania. and i thought, actually, fly out to romania directly, buy lots of goods there, in cluj, put them on a truck up to this border here, which is in siret on the ukrainian—romanian border. i just thought it seemed simpler than trying to send stuff from the uk in a truck that might take weeks to get there. tottenham football club will show its support for ukraine at tonight's home match against everton. the club says players will warm up in shirts with the message 'football stands together�*, a local children's choir will perform a song of hope and the stadium will be lit up in solidarity.
7:29 am
cameras designed to pick up excessively loud cars have caught almost 300 drivers in kensington and chelsea. the sensors were installed last year following years of complaints by residents. figures from the sunday times suggest over the past eight months 289 vehicles had readings of more than 100 decibels which can be harmful to hearing. it's best known as an art gallery, but this month tate modern is showcasing dance. it's teaming up with sadlers wells theatre and the royal opera house for a special festival. the display of recently acquired works from trisha brown dance company is a really important way to enable visitors to experience dance who maybe would never go to see a contemporary dance show. let's take a look at the situation the tubes now. there's a good service so far this morning, just that part closure of the northern line.
7:30 am
for all other travel news tune in to your local bbc radio station. onto the weather now with nazaneen gaffar. hello, good morning. another fine day thanks to high pressure being in charge. but through this week we are going to see that high—pressure move away eastwards, and more of an atlantic influence coming through bringing wet weather particularly across northern and western parts of the uk. but it will also turn increasingly windy. the wind will change direction to more of a southerly flow, meaning it will become milder for parts of the south—east. back to the here and now, it is a chilly start out there this morning. it is bright and largely dry, maybe one or two showers. going into this afternoon, i think we will see increasing amounts of sunshine and largely dry conditions. an easterly breeze, though, so still feeling quite cool for the time of year with highs of four to seven celsius. into tonight, little change, it stays clear, chilly, mainly dry as well. however, it will turn increasingly breezy through tonight. and then for the outlook, as i mentioned, high—pressure edges away slowly.
7:31 am
it becomes increasingly windy through the middle of the week. but it will raise those temperatures so it will be quite mild. then into the weekend, i think there is a chance of a little bit of wet weather as well. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. let's get up to date with everything that has been happening overnight in ukraine. danjohnson is here to run through the details. ijust want i just want to set the scene of things and where they have got to hearin things and where they have got to hear in ukraine. this is the 12th day since russian forces invaded ukraine. i want to give you an idea of where things stand this morning. you can see here on the map the areas in red show where the russians are now said to be in control. ukraine's two biggest cities, the capital kyiv and the industrial
7:32 am
city of kharkiv, here in the east, are still under the control of ukraine's government and military. kherson here in the south is the only major city to have fallen into russian control. remember crimea's been under russian control since it was invaded in 2014 and the area to the east. what's called the donbas has seen fighting since then between ukrainian forces and groups that want the country more closely aligned with russia. those groups have been in control there for the last few years. the latest development this morning. the russian defence ministry claims it will open new humanitarian corridors across multiple ukrainian cities to allow civilians to evacuate. it said a ceasefire would start at 7am our time. there has been no confirmation from ukraine. russian state media reports that evacuation routes could be set up
7:33 am
in the capital kyiv, as well as kharkiv, sumy and mariupol. mariupol is where they tried this twice over the weekend but had to quickly abandon evacuation attempts because the ceasfires weren't respected and shelling continued. both sides blamed each other for that. over the weekend russian forces engaged in what's been described as a �*terrifying bombardment�* of the town of irpin, which isjust 12 miles from the capital kyiv. this is the sort of thing that�*s been happening. according to people there, barely a minute went by without an explosion, and at least four people, from the same family, were killed as they tried to reach safety, after russian mortar shells targeted a damaged bridge they were using to cross the river.
7:34 am
this was president volodomyr zelensky�*s reactrion last night. zelensky�*s reaction last night. translation: we will not forgive |the shooting of unarmed people, | destruction of our infrastructure. we will not forgive. hundreds and hundreds of victims, thousands and thousands suffering, and god will not forgive. not today, not tomorrow, never. and instead of forgiveness, there will be a day ofjudgment. ukrainians are challenging russian agression, this is thought to be another plane being brought down over kharkiv. president zelensky also used his address last night to share his feelings on the current sanctions that have been imposed by the west so far. translation: the audacity - of the aggressor is a clear signal to the west that sanctions against russia are not enough, because they didn�*t understand. did not feel, they did not see
7:35 am
that the world is really determined, really determined to stop this war. you will not hide from this reality. you will not hide from new murders in ukraine. more reports this morning on the renewed russian shelling of the southern port city of mykolaiv. the city�*s mayor has confirmed earlier reports that moscow�*s forces bombarded the city with artillery fire this morning. he says they�*re targeting residential buildings. the ukrainian resistance has been remarkable and the uk intelligence assessment is that russian forces have made little progress in the last 48 hours. the invasion has got bogged down. the russian military looks badly prepared, supply lines haven�*t been reliable, equipment wasn�*t well maintained and morale is thought to be low amongst some of the young russian soldiers. but the response to that may well be even greater reliance on shelling and bombardment, this strategy of encircling cities then bombing them until there�*s
7:36 am
hardly anything left. the damage that will do is almost unimaginable and it means more ukrainian lives will be lost, more families will be forced from their homes and we know 1.5 million have left the country already. thank you very much indeed for that report on the very latest from ukraine. we�*re joined now by minister for europe and north america, james cleverly. thank you for being with us. i�*m sure you were able to hear some of what danjohnson was staying there. it would be great to hear the very latest do you know, we have been hearing from the russian side of things that there is this third plan to cease fire, no confirmation yet from the ukrainians, what is happening from your perspective this morning? i happening from your perspective this mornin: ? ~ , ., morning? i think with everything to do with this — morning? i think with everything to do with this invasion, _ morning? i think with everything to do with this invasion, we _ morning? i think with everything to do with this invasion, we can - morning? i think with everything to do with this invasion, we can only l do with this invasion, we can only judge the russians by what they do, not by what they say. they spent the
7:37 am
weeks leading up to this invasion turning us there would not be an invasion and then we saw what we see now. we will believe it when we see it. we have demanded a humanitarian access, or the ability for people to leave these conflict areas. it is a breach of the geneva convention to continue attacking civilian infrastructure and civilians so russia really needs to do this. ultimately what we are pushing them to do in concert with our international partners is to end this illegal invasion now, to cease the conflict now, and allow ukraine to start rebuilding itself with international help. i to start rebuilding itself with international help.— to start rebuilding itself with international help. i don't know if ou have international help. i don't know if you have looked _ international help. i don't know if you have looked at _ international help. i don't know if you have looked at the _ international help. i don't know if you have looked at the details i international help. i don't know if| you have looked at the details but according to this russian plan for this ceasefire, they say the route out from kyiv is into belarus and the route out fromcaca have in the east of ukraine is into russia. in the —— from car —— from kharkiv is
7:38 am
into russia. that is almost like a joke, isn�*t it? it into russia. that is almost like a joke. isn't it?— joke, isn't it? it is thought that putin thought _ joke, isn't it? it is thought that putin thought that _ joke, isn't it? it is thought that putin thought that there - joke, isn't it? it is thought that putin thought that there was i joke, isn't it? it is thought that putin thought that there was a | putin thought that there was a widespread part of ukraine who wanted to be part of russia, that has been proven to be nonsense by the circumstances we have been seeing. and providing evacuation routes into the arms of the country thatis routes into the arms of the country that is currently destroying yours is a nonsense. the humanitarian relief needs to be meaningful and real but the most humanitarian things that the russians can do is stop this invasion of ukraine. president zelensky of ukraine has repeated his calls for a no—fly zone
7:39 am
over ukraine, nato has continually said no to that, do you think there will be any change with that? brute will be any change with that? a desperately want to help president zelensky and the people of ukraine, and his government and he has shown and his government and he has shown an level of fortitude it is breathtaking. but the secondary general of nato has made it clear that this the secretary general of nato is making it clear that president putin is trying to drag nato into this to justify his completely false narrative that he is trying to defend russia from nato aggression. i know there will be heartbreak in ukraine because we are not going to set up a no—fly zone but we are continue to support them to defend themselves. i understand the frustration that many people will feel about that, but it is very important that nato does not get dragged directly into this conflict.

on the issue of supplying ukraine with what they need, the us secretary of state antony blinken saying that the us are looking at giving the military aircraft, are we doing the same? brute giving the military aircraft, are we doing the same?— giving the military aircraft, are we doing the same? we have seen that the equipment _ doing the same? we have seen that the equipment that _ doing the same? we have seen that the equipment that we _ doing the same? we have seen that the equipment that we have - doing the same? we have seen that. the equipment that we have provided the equipment that we have provided the ukrainians with, the anti—tank missiles, have been very effective so the equipment and training we have provided them over years has helped them in this amazing defence. what other stuff we might do is not necessarily something i am prepared to discuss on the programme, and thatis to discuss on the programme, and that is frustrating to you it will be in entirely dependent on the ground. we will help ukrainians defend themselves and we will continue providing economic and humanitarian support to the more they do that. humanitarian support to the more they do that-— humanitarian support to the more they do that. hopefully you will be able to discuss _ they do that. hopefully you will be able to discuss what _ they do that. hopefully you will be able to discuss what is _ they do that. hopefully you will be able to discuss what is of - they do that. hopefully you will be able to discuss what is of concern l able to discuss what is of concern to many of us this morning, ukrainians coming to the uk. anybody
7:41 am
reading the papers this morning will see that according to quotes they have got from the home secretary priti patel, it would appear to suggest that the uk will be open to all ukrainians. our correspondent in westminster this morning adam fleming seems to be saying that isn�*t the case. can you clear it up, what will be happening with ukrainians trying to get to the uk? we have got two routes by which ukrainians can come to the uk, one is where they have pre—existing family connections, but we have a broader humanitarian route for ukrainians who do not have family who are already here in the uk. there is no particular target or limit on that route... . 50 there is no particular target or limit on that route... . so there are no changes _ limit on that route... . so there are no changes to _ limit on that route... . so there are no changes to the _ limit on that route... . so there are no changes to the plans - limit on that route... . so there| are no changes to the plans over limit on that route... . so there - are no changes to the plans over the weekend? ., . are no changes to the plans over the weekend? ., , , ., , ., weekend? no, this is what is going to be in place _ weekend? no, this is what is going to be in place previously. _ weekend? no, this is what is going to be in place previously. we - weekend? no, this is what is going to be in place previously. we need| to be in place previously. we need to be in place previously. we need to have some kind of process, we
7:42 am
need to know where they are staying, what support they might need, if there are child protection issues, we have seen a number of unaccompanied children whose parents have stayed in ukraine to fight. while all of us will want to throw our arms open and be as generous as possible, there needs to be a process, we will make that as quick and easy and as fast as possible. but there is no particular target or limit. we want to play our part. most ukrainian refugees are in countries bordering ukraine, that�*s where they are and that is where they will stay and we are providing humanitarian support for them there. i understand that. do you know the figures, how many ukrainians have been granted visas to come to the uk under that scheme? i been granted visas to come to the uk under that scheme?— been granted visas to come to the uk under that scheme? i know there were fi . ures under that scheme? i know there were figures kicking — under that scheme? i know there were figures kicking around _ under that scheme? i know there were figures kicking around over— under that scheme? i know there were figures kicking around over the - figures kicking around over the weekend that there were just 50, i haven�*t had confirmation of that as yet. inevitably we are working through this process quickly, there will be significantly more than that. but as i say, we don�*t really
7:43 am
know exactly what the numbers will be. this is the largest, the largest refugee crisis since the second world war. this is at a scale which i think very few of us in europe are used to dealing with. so the numbers of people who need help are very significant. we will help them here in the uk. the vast majority will of course want to stay close to their homes and we will be providing support to them there as well. to clarify, you are saying far more than those 50 pieces have been granted already?— than those 50 pieces have been granted already? that's not what i said, -- granted already? that's not what i said. -- those _ granted already? that's not what i said, -- those 50 _ granted already? that's not what i said, -- those 50 visas? - granted already? that's not what i said, -- those 50 visas? no, - granted already? that's not what i said, -- those 50 visas? no, i - granted already? that's not what i | said, -- those 50 visas? no, i said said, —— those 50 visas? no, i said that the number will be greater, i don�*t know what the number is, there may be some which are on the verge of being granted. there needs to be a process and we will try to make that quick and there will inevitably be significantly more numbers than that coming too quickly. what be significantly more numbers than that coming too quickly. what about the numbers — that coming too quickly. what about the numbers of— that coming too quickly. what about the numbers of people _ that coming too quickly. what about the numbers of people waiting - that coming too quickly. what about the numbers of people waiting in i the numbers of people waiting in calais? the figure over the weekend

7:48 am
we don't play every weekend against a team like manchester city to start with. and it's not a surprise that they are top of the league, and they are also a team that regularly not only qualify but play in the champions league in the last four or eight teams. so, yeah, that was a difficult one, we knew that in advance, and now it's for us to prepare for the home game against tottenham, try to win that game at home, and then three days later, another important game against atletico in the champions league. and that defeat for manchester united means they move out of the champions league places as arsenal have leap frogged them into fourth after they edged past watford 3—2. it was end—to—end at vicarage road with goals like this bicycle kick from cucho hernadez. but arsenal hit back with a brilliant team goal finished expertly by gabriel martinelli. the win means arsenal are a point clear of manchestr united, with three games in hand. celtic restored their lead at
7:49 am
the top of the scottish premiership. they won 3—1 at livingston, james forrest with the pick of the goals. the result means the gap to defending champions rangers is now back to three points. a russian gymnast is being investigated after wearing a national war symbol on his leotard at the apparatus world cup in doha. ivan kuliak appeared with �*z�* on his chest. the letter has become symbolic with russia�*s invasion of ukraine. kuliak was standing next to a ukrainian competitor on the podium. the international gymnastics federation has opened disciplinary proceedings against kuliak for what it�*s called "shocking behaviour". from today, russian and belarusian athletes have been barred from competition as a result of russia�*s invasion of ukraine. and two more medals for the gb team at the winter paralympics. britain�*s menna fitzpatrick and her guide gary smith
7:50 am
claimed bronze in the visually impaired super combined. a brilliant slalom display saw britain�*s most successful winter paralympian take her second medal of the games after winning silver in yesterday�*s super—g. and in the last hour, neil simpson has also claimed bronze in the visually impaired super combined with his guide and brother andrew. what a debut games for these two after winning gold in super g yesterday. that brings team gb in beijing up to five medals, and interestingly, in the visually impaired events, there is going to be an interesting event —— article on the bbc sport website about why we are doing so well in those events. let�*s go and get the weather now.
7:51 am
good morning. it is a cold start wherever you are, —6 across scotland and northern england, but there is also a big difference between the northern isles and the highlands. this morning it is chilly but dry for most, a few showers across the south—east will fade and most of us will see some sunshine today. it will see some sunshine today. it will not be warm. we are starting off with cloud across england and wales, it will continue to break up and drift north through the day. the breeze is also going to pick up as well and by the end of the afternoon, it will be windy across western parts of scotland, northern ireland and areas adjacent to the irish sea. inland, these white circles represent average wind speed so you can see it is breezy, not much more than that. no heatwave in respect, 7—9 , feeling nippy if you are out and about today. this evening and overnight under clearer

7:53 am
the yellow is they�*re across the uk. cold air coming back and across western areas. it will be a cold start on wednesday where we have got clear skies with some frost, cloud building ahead of the weather front coming in. hillsnow in building ahead of the weather front coming in. hill snow in scotland, heavy and persistent rain, and as the cold f —— cold air feeds heavy and persistent rain, and as the cold f —— cold airfeeds in, we will see some snow showers. at the head of the weather front, it is mild. as we head into thursday we could hit 14 degrees. before he became ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky was a comedian and actor, and had no experience of politics when he was elected in 2019. through his social media posts he�*s managed to rally the nation, whilst remaining dignified and resolute. jonah fisher takes a closer look at what we know about the ukrainian president.
7:54 am
ukraine�*s wartime president now has admirers all around the world. my name is volodymyr zelensky. three years ago, when i first met him, he wasjust an actor and comedian. and that�*s it, i�*m a normal human. and you�*re running for president? yes, i�*m running. back then, the prospect of a president zelensky seemed far—fetched. benny hill. yeah, yeah, it�*s more understandable than monty python. at that point, zelensky�*s main qualification was that he had played the part of the president in a comedy tv series. zelensky�*s president, vasyl goloborodko, was the breath of fresh air that ukraine needed. taking on the rich oligarchs. so zelensky�*s election campaign cleverly blurred the lines between tv and real life.
7:55 am
and people loved it. he went into polling day in the lead. are you ready to be president? i don�*t know, the people will decide it in the evening. i�*m ready. when evening came, zelensky was confirmed in a landslide victory. so, there we have it. fact will follow fiction. sworn in with a flourish, zelensky set out trying to deliver on his many election promises. but in the last couple of years, zelensky�*s presidency has rather drifted. visits to the trenches have highlighted the lack of peace, while promised reforms have stalled. then came invasion, and zelensky and ukraine have not rolled over. zelensky�*s journey to this point has few parallels. with the russians now closing in, does his remarkable story have one final twist? jonah fisher, bbc news.
7:56 am
we�*re joined now by film director david dodson who has worked on ten films with president zelensky. good morning. i know it is very late where you are in los angeles so thank you for talking to us. tell us a little bit about the man if you can, what is he like? he a little bit about the man if you can, what is he like?— can, what is he like? he is effortlessly _ can, what is he like? he is effortlessly personable. i can, what is he like? he is| effortlessly personable. he can, what is he like? he is i effortlessly personable. he is somebody who always makes you feel like you are trusted, like you are about to do your best work, and that he believes in you to be able to bring that. i started out editing his movies and i ended up directing him in three films, and he always made me feel like i was spielberg. he would come into the set and look at you and you just felt completely capable. so it�*s not surprising that
7:57 am
this is what, that he has risen to this is what, that he has risen to this moment, at least not to me. could you ever imagine him, though, in a situation quite like this one? i don�*t think anybody could really imagine the situation quite like this one. i think that whatever we see in the way of courage, whatever we see in the way of, you know, stalwart nature and his resoluteness, it�*s reallyjust a mirror of the ukrainian people. my experience in ukraine, and i�*m married to a ukrainian woman for 12 years now that i met on a zelensky movie in kyiv, this is who they are. so it�*s unsurprising to see him behaving this way, because at least for me in my experience, it�*s the heart of who ukrainians are. so he

which gave the order and pressed start. there will be no quiet place on this earth for you, except for the grave. confusion around russian claims of a temporary ceasefire in several ukraine cities to create humanitarian corridors leading to russia and belarus. ukrainian officials say the bombardment continued overnight across the country, worsening the humanitarian crisis. it worsening the humanitarian crisis. is a cold start. 1 overnight it is a cold start. temperatures overnight in scotland and northern england falling to —60 we have frost. this morning, cloud breaking up frost. this morning, cloud breaking up in most seeing spring sunshine —— falling to minus six. it�*s monday seventh march. there�*s confusion this morning surrounding claims from the russian defence ministry that it will hold a ceasefire fire that it will hold a ceasefire in several ukrainian cities.
8:02 am
russian state media reports that humanitarian corridors could be opened up to russia and belarus. a spokesperson for the ukrainian president described them as moral and said there is no confirmation of the ceasefire. —— immoral. meanwhile ukraine�*s president, volodymyr zelenskiy, has condemned attacks targeting civilians, saying they will never be forgotten, and never be forgiven. dan johnson reports. this is what war does to people. it frightens them into leaving their homes, forces them to become refugees in their own country and, eventually, someone else�*s. and millions of ukrainians have now made this potentially deadly dash to safety. the bombing continuing, and i decided to escape because it is really dangerous. no bread, no milk, no eggs, no nothing. all is closed. it is terrible. we were underground.
8:03 am
but it was a chance to escape. so we took our luggage and came here by car. this morning the russians say they will open humanitarian corridors across multiple ukrainian cities to allow civilians to evacuate. ceasefires were due to start at 7am. evacuation routes will be set up in kyiv, as well as kharkiv, mariupol and sumy, all of the city is under significant russian assault. ukrainian officials have yet to confirm the ceasefire plan. in places like mariupol, people have been suffering this, daily bombardment. it is wiping out cities and taking ukrainian lives. twice over the weekend evacuation plans had to be stopped there. so buses to

8:07 am
ukrainian cities provided they go to belarus or into russia, which is the significant point. the statement that came out a few hours ago said they had responded to calls from the french president, emmanuel macron, and he said he never asked the corridors to take ukrainians into belarus or into russia itself. there is information from the presidential chief of staff in ukraine saying the advice there is for each person to decide where to go and said people going to russia will be used. so there is confusion about whether this third ceasefire is existing at all. will it work? and as we were hearing earlier on, all of this is based on trust and at the moment there has been little trust from both sides, which is understandable at the moment. we�*re joined now by our kyiv correspondent james waterhouse. a confusing picture as to whether the ceasefire is in existence.
8:08 am
whether it will work. what are you hearing about potentially a safe route out of the city? i hearing about potentially a safe route out of the city?— hearing about potentially a safe route out of the city? i think you are seeing _ route out of the city? i think you are seeing a _ route out of the city? i think you are seeing a tide _ route out of the city? i think you are seeing a tide of _ route out of the city? i think you are seeing a tide of people - route out of the city? i think you i are seeing a tide of people wanting to leave going the other way. we have seen a continued assault by russian forces to the west of the city on towns on the outskirts there. especially in one area where citizens came under mortar fire. where were they trying to get to safety? further inside kyiv to possibly find an escape route to the south, south—west, which thousands of others are doing, trying to loop around the fighting and work their way west to cities like lviv before making it over the border into moldova, romania or poland. i think it is unlikely we will come across anyone who will be choosing to go the other way in these so—called humanitarian corridors, which has only been confirmed by russia. the
8:09 am
ukrainian authorities have not acknowledged it. they say talks are continuing and france has rubbished claims it was the result of a personal request by president macron. i think this is moscow trying to present themselves as the liberator in this so—called special military operation, as the people to denazify ukraine. ukrainian accused ukrainian —— russian forces are breaking the ceasefire and in turn the russians said they were using citizens as shields and being aggressive in turn. this is a continuation of that, i think. it seems to be a deliberate tactic for moscow to continue to put ukrainian cities under siege. a warning of army chiefs here. that we will see
8:10 am
russian troops and circle cities and then appeared to offer humanitarian solution, new citizens out, effectively squashing people pass my appetite to fight. and then continuing with aerial bombardment which we have seen in kharkiv and mariupol in particular before mounting a large—scale assault, which is feared. mounting a large-scale assault, which is feared.— mounting a large-scale assault, which is feared. , . ., ., , which is feared. james waterhouse in k iv. on which is feared. james waterhouse in kyiv- on this — which is feared. james waterhouse in kyiv. on this programme _ which is feared. james waterhouse in kyiv. on this programme 40 - which is feared. james waterhouse in kyiv. on this programme 40 minutes| kyiv. on this programme 40 minutes ago we had james cleverly on and he denied that the government was considering a third reach for refugees to enter the country. adam fleming joins us now. we have been hearing about confusion on the ground in ukraine about refugees. there is confusion in the government as well because there is a report in the sun newspaper the home office was looking at a new route that would allow more
8:11 am
ukrainian refugees to come to the uk, in addition to the two already announced, the first being people joining family members and the second sponsorship route where an individual, community sponsoran individual, community sponsor an ukrainian individual, community sponsoran ukrainian refugee to come to britain. the third one was denied by senior government ministers and james cleverly on this programme. i am told by home office sources now it is true and they are starting work at looking at another way of bringing more ukrainian refugees into the uk. it isjust bringing more ukrainian refugees into the uk. it is just that the home office has only started this work and have not informed their colleagues and the rest of the government. interesting to see if this develops from a little bit of organisational chaos into an actual big political row aboutjust how many routes and ways there should be for ukrainian nationals to come into the uk. so let�*s keep an eye on that

in the next few hours and days. in terms of existing schemes, there were numbers over the weekend that suggested 50 visas had been given to ukrainian nationals coming to the uk out of more than 5000 applications in the past week. this out of more than 5000 applications in the past week.— out of more than 5000 applications in the past week. this is what james cleverly said- _ in the past week. this is what james cleverly said. i _ in the past week. this is what james cleverly said. i know _ in the past week. this is what james cleverly said. i know there - in the past week. this is what james cleverly said. i know there were - cleverly said. i know there were figures — cleverly said. i know there were figures kicking around over the weekend — figures kicking around over the weekend of there were just 15. i have _ weekend of there were just 15. i have not— weekend of there were just 15. i have not had confirmation of that yet. have not had confirmation of that yet we _ have not had confirmation of that yet. we are working through the process— yet. we are working through the process quickly and there will be significantly more than that. but we do not _ significantly more than that. but we do not really know exactly what the numbers _ do not really know exactly what the numbers will be. this is the largest refugee _ numbers will be. this is the largest refugee crisis since the second world — refugee crisis since the second world war. at a scale that i think very few— world war. at a scale that i think very few of— world war. at a scale that i think very few of us in europe are used to dealing _ very few of us in europe are used to dealing with, so the numbers who need _ dealing with, so the numbers who need help— dealing with, so the numbers who need help are significant. we will help them here in the uk. let�*s need help are significant. we will help them here in the uk. let's see what happens _

8:14 am
of the ceasefire from ukraine. we�*re joined now by the deputy mayor of mariupol sergei orlov. thank you for spending a few minutes with us on the programme. as far as you are concerned, is there a ceasefire in place and a humanitarian route out of mariupol and other cities?— humanitarian route out of mariupol and other cities? good morning. we should understand _ and other cities? good morning. we should understand this _ and other cities? good morning. we should understand this takes - and other cities? good morning. we should understand this takes two i should understand this takes two directions, a ceasefire in mariupol and of the route. the government agreed a route with the russian side but it is not safe for all the way of this route. we are looking at whether a ceasefire will be set. we do not have confirmation at the moment that a ceasefire has started. we do not have confirmation that the ceasefire is settled for this day.
8:15 am
it is not easy to collect any information because the city is six days without electricity, water, a sanitary system, heat and phone. it is difficult to collect information. this night, there was an awful bombing of the city. and in the morning incidents of shelling in mariupol. we are waiting for information from the negotiation party that a ceasefire will be set in mariupol, and also the safe road. the bombardment and the shelling, that continues this morning? yes. it was a little — that continues this morning? yes. it was a little less, _ that continues this morning? yes. it was a little less, but _ that continues this morning? yes. it was a little less, but the _ that continues this morning? yes. it was a little less, but the shelling i was a little less, but the shelling continues this morning. the route is not safe. there is no information from the russian side. that there is a safe route that is set up for

8:19 am
forces had started to gather resources for an attack on the city, with tanks advancing towards the nearby town of irpin. sasha andrusyk has remained at her home in central kyiv with her husband and children but her grandparents are currently stranded in irpin. shejoins us now. good morning. thank you for talking to us. can you tell us the latest situation where you are for you and yourfamily? situation where you are for you and your family?— your family? hello. for me and my famil , it your family? hello. for me and my family. it is — your family? hello. for me and my family, it is comparatively - your family? hello. for me and my family, it is comparatively safe - family, it is comparatively safe because we stay in the historic centre and it has been comparatively quiet. forthe centre and it has been comparatively quiet. for the extended family, my parents and grandparents, and closest friends, it is different because we are all scattered around the town. i am not sure if a european audience knows kyiv is one of the largest towns in europe,
8:20 am
equal to berlin in size, i think. and also it is hilly. and so it means that the fact that our outskirts, satellite towns, are being bombarded, it does not necessarily mean we hear so much of it with being in the centre. for the moment, everything functions. unlike people in mariupol, which i was horrified to hear what ijust heard because i have friends in mariupol also. they are under siege. unlike them, we still have everything, amenities, electricity, mobile connections. i amenities, electricity, mobile connections.— amenities, electricity, mobile connections. ,, ., ., , connections. i know you have elderly grandparents— connections. i know you have elderly grandparents in _ connections. i know you have elderly grandparents in irpin _ connections. i know you have elderly grandparents in irpin and _ connections. i know you have elderly grandparents in irpin and we - connections. i know you have elderly grandparents in irpin and we know. connections. i know you have elderly grandparents in irpin and we know it| grandparents in irpin and we know it has been heavily shelled. have you heard from them, how are they? h0. heard from them, how are they? no, we have not — heard from them, how are they? my, we have not heard from them for two days. we have not heard from them for two da s. �* j ~

8:22 am
safety target so we understand ukrainian armed forces are guarding us. and it is much safer in the centre than on the roads from kyiv, because what has been happening there is horrendous. people being shot at the roads. you do not know where the missile finds you. some relatives were trying to escape through central ukraine and they arrived in the evening and in the morning, they had eight missiles attacking the airport. which was much worse than anything i saw in kyiv in this period. so the decision now is we stay. we just try not to panic and we try to look at statistics and try to concentrate on not yielding to the terror that russia is trying to put upon us. and
8:23 am
we are trying to withhold it. you have an airbnb _ we are trying to withhold it. you have an airbnb property which people have an airbnb property which people have been booking from all over the world in an attempt to help. hour world in an attempt to help. how does that work? _ world in an attempt to help. how does that work? of _ world in an attempt to help. flori-hr does that work? of course, world in an attempt to help. time does that work? of course, it helps economically. it started happening several days ago. i think for the moment, i have a booking of the next two months, completely booked. of course, it will help out a lot. i will probably use some of this money for volunteers working in the city. but also, it is just a huge gesture because people have been writing from everywhere, complete strangers. from salt lake city, ireland, someone in scotland, who actually
8:24 am
told me scotland sends love and solidarity. and i took it as a salute from william wallace. this has been a big thing when i was growing up. so this is quite incredible and we are moved by it. i heard in the news yesterday i think millions of dollars was wired to various airbnb properties in ukraine, so that is a lot, of course. :. ~' ukraine, so that is a lot, of course. :. ~ y. ukraine, so that is a lot, of course-— ukraine, so that is a lot, of course. :, ~ : :, course. thank you so much for talkin: course. thank you so much for talking to _ course. thank you so much for talking to us — course. thank you so much for talking to us and _ course. thank you so much for talking to us and we _ course. thank you so much for talking to us and we wish - course. thank you so much for talking to us and we wish you | course. thank you so much for i talking to us and we wish you and yourfamily and your talking to us and we wish you and your family and your grandparents well. so many human stories. such incredible support for people of ukraine. we are trying to bring a flavour of what is happening in ukraine but also family stories, those stuck in another country who made it out and cannot contact family members. we spoke to somebody
8:25 am
who was on the programme yesterday who was on the programme yesterday who had not spoken to herfamily who was on the programme yesterday who had not spoken to her family and she has contacted family and they are ok. a glimmer of hope. it�*s nearly 5 years since a bomb detonated at an ariana grande concert in manchester killing 22 people, including eight—year—old saffie—rose roussos, who was the youngest victim of the attack. for the last 18 months, a public inquiry has been examining the details of what happened. our north of england correspondent, judith moritz, has been spending time with saffie�*s parents andrew and lisa. saffie! everything was ariana grande. so, in the end, we said look, go on then, let�*s get her tickets. she couldn�*t believe it. so excited, so happy. jumping up and down, screaming, jumping up and down. just going mad.
8:26 am
so happy. sometimes, my mind will go, she's died, and it's like a house dropping on you. it's a cruel life that me and lisa are living. hello, this is saffie. this is my dad. this is my brother. this is me. and this is my mum. and this is my dog. life for the roussos family used to be happy chaos. we work as a chip shop. running a chippy in lancashire. now, they live hundreds of miles from their old life. we just basically escaped. i suppose a bit like running away. whenever i�*m feeling really low, and i�*m struggling, we go to the beach.
8:27 am
i like that quiet time. in their new house, they have made a new room for saffie. we don�*t want things put away in cupboards, in the loft. we want everything out. she is here with me. and i wouldn�*t have her anywhere else. lisa asked me to sit with her to look at saffie�*s baby things. baby roussos — she didn�*t have a name at first. my first curl. look at that. have you been able to bring yourself to open these boxes much? no, the first time i have done that one. it has been too hard? you have moved away, but you have brought her with you. yeah. she will always be with us, always. now, saffie�*s parents are packing their bags to return to the north.
8:28 am
that will go to manchester, and that has got to go in there. though they know it will be hard, they are determined to give evidence in person at the public inquiry into the attack. it has given me sleepless nights, it has made me anxious. it is a horrible, nervy feeling. i know it is going to be emotionally draining. ijust keep saying it�*s for saffie, obviously. and i�*ve got to do it. the journey north is a quest for answers, to understand if saffie could have survived if she had had better first aid. getting out there straightaway is quite important for you. - andrew and lisa spent years thinking saffie was killed instantly. but, through the inquiry process, they discovered that wasn�*t what happened. we knew that through these reports and finding out the whole truth that she survived for an hour
8:29 am
after the detonation. may ijust say a couple of words as saffie's father. so it does make you very angry to know that that little girl did everything she could to keep herself going, and the system failed her. whilst the roussoses were in manchester, they gave something to the city. a time capsule for saffie laid at the new memorial to those who died. but they also hope to retrieve something lost. this is saffie�*s phone, which was badly damaged in the blast. lisa and andrew gave me the phone to see if we could recover anything from it. we took it to a digital expert and we found the last selfies saffie took on the way to the concert with her mum. this is the first time andrew and lisa have seen them.
8:30 am
it�*s lovely, but, obviously really sad at the same time. i�*m glad i have found another one. precious things that we shouldn't be... that you take for granted, because you don�*t think of the worst, ever. why would you? but, afterwards, you realise how precious and important they are. the family find solace in cyprus, where they have flown to escape the pressures of the inquiry, and where they have happy, family memories. it just helps us just switch off for bit, particularly this time after giving evidence in the inquiry, this is exactly what we needed. is this from saffie?
8:31 am
they have come here for the wedding of saffie�*s godmother. and though their sense of loss will never fade, there�*s space for celebration, too. because it is love that carries them through. we will never be who we were. and we will never have what we had, but saffie is always with us and we will take her with us for ever. # happy birthday, dear saffie. you can�*t have closure. you don�*t want closure. # happy birthday, dear saffie. if you want to ask me a question about her, or what was she like, it�*s fine. i want to talk about her, i want to remember her, and i want everyone to remember her. north of england correspondent judith moritzjoins us now in the studio. good morning. a staggering film.
8:32 am
what strikes me is they are such a private family. why was it important to them to share stories about saffie in this way?— to them to share stories about saffie in this way? they have not done this lightly. _ saffie in this way? they have not done this lightly. they _ saffie in this way? they have not done this lightly. they are - saffie in this way? they have not done this lightly. they are a - done this lightly. they are a private family. i think the clue is at the end of what we have seen when lisa said we want everybody to remember her. it is easy, i think come up with a mass scale attack, a terror attack like manchester arena when there has been a long—running public inquiry, legal ins and outs, for the most important people to be perhaps lost in all of that and the memories of those who died to be remembered so closely by those who knew them but perhaps the wider public forget. and saffie�*s mum and dad are determined she will not be forgotten. we can see what a vibrant, happy, active child saffie
8:33 am
was. she never sat still and they want everybody to get to know her. those memories are special. the process of reclaiming some of those photographs must be incredible powerful. one of the aspects of making the panorama film, lisa and andrew said at the beginning, we have saffie�*s phone, it was smashed in the attack. they gave it to me and said we are dying to be able to see what is on this. kids love their phones. she was always on her phone and maybe it is a chance to see a last window into her world. it was so badly damaged they had not been able to repair it. we took it to a digitalforensic able to repair it. we took it to a digital forensic specialist who rebuilt it and poignantly, heartbreakingly, the photos we found on the phone were the last selfies she took in the car on the way to the concert. we also scrolled and
8:34 am
showed the photos to lisa and andrew for the first time, but heartbreaking. for them, for the first time, but heartbreaking. forthem, but also important. we scrolled through videos she took and you can see where her character and spirit come alive. ~ :. : where her character and spirit come alive. ~ :, : :, where her character and spirit come alive. : :, : :, , :, alive. watching that film, showing them those _ alive. watching that film, showing them those images, _ alive. watching that film, showing them those images, how- alive. watching that film, showing them those images, how do - alive. watching that film, showing them those images, how do they l alive. watching that film, showing - them those images, how do they cope? i cannot imagine it. i ask them that often, how are you coping? it is a day to day thing and they are honest about that and the film looks at how as a family how you cope with grief, how do you go from one day to the next when you lose a child? may say it is different every day. there are good and bad days but the key to all of it is keeping saffie present in their lives. they have built a bedroom for her in their new home. they live hundreds of miles from where they lived because after the attack they could not face going home to lancashire where they lived. they live on the south coast and
8:35 am
have built a bedroom in the house and her things are there and they can go there and feel her presence and spend time.— can go there and feel her presence and spend time. thank you. i know the inquiry — and spend time. thank you. i know the inquiry is _ and spend time. thank you. i know the inquiry is ongoing _ and spend time. thank you. i know the inquiry is ongoing and - and spend time. thank you. i know the inquiry is ongoing and i - and spend time. thank you. i know| the inquiry is ongoing and i suppose there is something to where we are at this stage. it is there is something to where we are at this stage-— at this stage. it is 18 months of court hearings _ at this stage. it is 18 months of court hearings and _ at this stage. it is 18 months of court hearings and evidence i at this stage. it is 18 months of i court hearings and evidence which has just finished. there are two reports left to be published from the inquiry and the first will look at various issues, including how the 22 died and the emergency response. that is expected by the summer. the family�*s full story will be shown on bbc one tonight at 8pm in panorama�*s manchester arena bombing: saffie�*s story and is also available on bbc iplayer. time now to get the news where you are. good morning from bbc
8:36 am
london, i�*m tolu adeoye. donations are continuing to pour in for the people of ukraine from across the capital with some londoners travelling to the region to support those fleeing. among them is andrew trotter who runs a business in romania. he�*s planning to deliver supplies to those in need at the border town of siret. i have an office with my company in cluj, which is romania. and i thought, actually, fly out to romania directly, buy lots of goods there, in cluj, put them on a truck up to this border here, which is in siret on the ukrainian—romanian border. i just thought it seemed simpler than trying to send stuff from the uk in a truck that might take weeks to get there. tottenham football club will show its support for ukraine at tonight�*s home match against everton. the club says players will warm up in shirts with the message �*football stands together�*, a local children�*s choir will perform a song of hope and the stadium will be lit up in solidarity.
8:37 am
cameras designed to pick up excessively loud cars have caught almost 300 drivers in kensington and chelsea. the sensors were installed last year following years of complaints by residents. figures from the sunday times suggest over the past eight months 289 vehicles had readings of more than 100 decibels which can be harmful to hearing. it�*s best known as an art gallery, but this month tate modern is showcasing dance. it�*s teaming up with sadlers wells theatre and the royal opera house for a special festival. the display of recently acquired works from trisha brown dance company is a really important way to enable visitors to experience dance who maybe would never go to see a contemporary dance show. let�*s take a look at the situation the tubes now. there�*s that part closure of the northern line. and minor delays on the overground and on the waterloo & city line. for all other travel news tune
8:38 am
in to your local bbc radio station. onto the weather now with nazaneen gaffar. hello, good morning. another fine day thanks to high pressure being in charge. but through this week we are going to see that high—pressure move away eastwards, and more of an atlantic influence coming through bringing wet weather particularly across northern and western parts of the uk. but it will also turn increasingly windy. the wind will change direction to more of a southerly flow, meaning it will become milder for parts of the south—east. back to the here and now, it is a chilly start out there this morning. it is bright and largely dry, maybe one or two showers. going into this afternoon, i think we will see increasing amounts of sunshine and largely dry conditions. an easterly breeze, though, so still feeling quite cool for the time of year with highs of four to seven celsius. into tonight, little change, it stays clear, chilly, mainly dry as well. however, it will turn increasingly breezy through tonight. and then for the outlook, as i mentioned, high—pressure edges away slowly. it becomes increasingly windy through the middle of the week. but it will raise those temperatures so it will be quite mild.
8:39 am
then into the weekend, i think there is a chance of a little bit of wet weather as well. i�*m back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now though it�*s back to sally and dan. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. let�*s get up to date with everything that has been happening overnight in ukraine. danjohnson is here to run through the details. some big developments this morning and lots to catch up on from the last 12 days. this is the 12th day since russian forces invaded ukraine. i want to give you an idea of where things stand this morning. you can see here on the map the areas in red show where the russians are now said to be in control. ukraine�*s two biggest cities, the capital kyiv and the industrial city of kharkiv, here in the east,
8:40 am
are still under the control of ukraine�*s government and military. kherson here in the south is the only major city to have fallen into russian control. there�*s confusion this morning regarding claims from the russian defence ministry that it will hold a ceasefire in several ukrainian cities. russian state media reports that evacuation routes could be set up in the capital kyiv to belarus and from kharkiv to russia as well as from sumy and mariupol which is where they tried this twice over the weekend but had to quickly abandon evacuation attempts because the ceasefires weren�*t respected and shelling continued. ukraine says ceasefire talks are ongoing. over the weekend russian forces engaged in what�*s been described as a �*terrifying bombardment�* of the town of irpin, which isjust 12 miles from the capital kyiv.
8:41 am
this is the sort of thing that�*s been happening. according to people there, barely a minute went by without an explosion, and at least four people, from the same family, were killed as they tried to reach safety, after russian mortar shells targeted a damaged bridge they were using to cross the river. this was president volodomyr zelensky�*s reaction last night. translation: we will not forgive |the shooting of unarmed people, | destruction of our infrastructure. we will not forgive. hundreds and hundreds of victims, thousands and thousands suffering, and god will not forgive. not today, not tomorrow, never. and instead of forgiveness, there will be a day ofjudgment. ukranians are challenging russian agression, this is thought to be another plane being brought down over kharkiv. president zelensky also
8:42 am
used his address last night to share his feelings on the current sanctions that have been imposed by the west so far. translation: the audacity - of the aggressor is a clear signal to the west that sanctions against russia are not enough, because they didn�*t understand. did not feel, they did not see that the world is really determined, really determined to stop this war. you will not hide from this reality. you will not hide from new murders in ukraine. more reports this morning on the renewed russian shelling of the southern port city of mykolaiv. the city�*s mayor has confirmed earlier reports that moscow�*s forces bombarded the city with artillery fire this morning. he says they�*re targeting residential buildings that�*s why so many refugees are on the run. we know 1.5 million have left the country already.
8:43 am
thank you for that. see you later on. we�*re joined now by our security correspondent gordon corera. good morning. it is slightly confused picture morning in terms of the russian state offering a ceasefire, saying there is a ceasefire, saying there is a ceasefire, ukrainians not confirming that, what do you know?— that, what do you know? there has been in this — that, what do you know? there has been in this talk _ that, what do you know? there has been in this talk about _ that, what do you know? there has| been in this talk about humanitarian corridors and see —— ceasefires which, through russian state media, there is some scepticism about it because some of those corridors leading to russia and belarus which other countries that have been invading ukraine, and ceasefires over the weekend. almost immediately by shelling so you can see there could be scepticism about what it really means. could be scepticism about what it really means-— could be scepticism about what it really means. where are we in our understanding _ really means. where are we in our understanding of _ really means. where are we in our understanding of the _ really means. where are we in our understanding of the russian - really means. where are we in our| understanding of the russian plan? the assumption was that they expected it to happen quite quickly and it is now extended into a second week. how will it adjust, what

8:48 am
i know it is a pretty bleak assessment but it is a truthful assessment but it is a truthful assessment of where we are. more than a million ukranian refugees have arrived in poland in the last 12 days — more than any other country, and there have been humbling moments as those fleeing the conflict are welcomed by new communities. in particular, it�*s polish school children who are helping refugee children by donating toys and supporting them in the classroom. newsround�*sjenny lawrence reports. this is the border where ukraine meets poland. on one side, a country at war, on the other, there is peace. where i am standing here is poland, butjust behind me, pass those barriers, is ukraine. this is one of the points on the border where people have been queueing up for days in cars and buses, to make it over this point and into safety in poland. and just a few minutes away is a welcome centre, where many of the people arriving in poland by
8:49 am
bus. first. it is safe here but absolutely packed with people and it isn�*t somewhere you would want to stay very long. this is one of the reception points where people come just after crossing the border, offer on the buses that you can see here. imagine the biggest shopping centre you know, that is what this big building used to be. inside, we cannot film there to give people some privacy, arejust rows and rows of camp beds. and people sitting on them waiting. some of them have nowhere to go, others are trying to sort out an onward journey to safety. there are lots of worries and questions here, but wherever there are ukrainian refugees reading it, help is neverfar away in poland. as it says on the big screens outside, poland will help you. and one of the helpers is 17—year—old marta, a school student from warsaw, she has been sleeping
