good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. thousands of civilians have been evacuated from areas under siege from russian forces, but efforts to move people out of the southern city of mariupol have failed for a fourth day. it was so terrible and my parents, i left my parents in sumy. i hope i will see them another time. russia says it troops will stop firing in the next hour for people to leave cities including kyiv, but there's been no confirmation from ukraine.

cities one hourfrom now so that civilians can leave. chernihiv, sumy, kharkiv and mariupol will all receive a temporary reprieve, according to a russian state news agency. however, several previous ceasfires have not been honoured. it comes as russian forces gain ground in the south of ukraine but continue to meet fierce resistance and logistical problems in the north. explosions have been heard in kyiv in the last two hours. james reynolds has the latest details. for 12 hours, a ceasefirejust about held in the northern city of sumy, allowing 5000 civilians to escape into central ukraine. in this war, everyjourney involves risk and heartbreak. it's so terrible and my parents — i left my parents in sumy. i hope i will see them another time.

this is the war they were fleeing. russia promises further temporary ceasefire is later today to allow evacuations from other cities, including chernihiv, kharkiv and also the besieged mariupol in the south. the exodus from the city of irpin, near the capital kyiv, is slow and agonising. more than 2 million civilians have now left the country. the united nations says more than a70 civilians have been killed in the invasion. the casualties include children. old enough to be scared, too young to understand why they are being bombarded. to fight the russian army, poland proposes sending its fighter jets to a us air force base in germany. but the us is cool to the offer. it does not want to provoke a direct fight between its forces and russia. two powers each armed

with nuclear weapons. so, instead, the us is focusing on cutting off russia. washington is now banning the import of russian oil. the uk says it will phase out russian oil imports by the end by the end of the year, and the eu, which relies heavily on russian energy, plans to cut its use by two thirds. the sanctions are not enough, but do not listen to those who say sanctions do not matter. they already matter, they already matter for us. unfortunately, their effect is not that quick and swift as we would have expected, because every minute, every hour, a soldier or a civilian is dying in ukraine, while sanctions are discussed, then thought over, then slightly introduced. we need a strong sanctions as possible immediately. in the southern city of odesa, still controlled by ukraine, there are lighter moments. don't worry, be happy

plays the band. perhaps easier said than done. the capital kyiv puts up whatever defences it can build. the russian army is just miles away and this city can sense its approach. james reynolds, bbc news. our kyiv correspondent james waterhouse joins us now. how have things been overnight? last niaht, there how have things been overnight? last night, there were numerous sirens in the small hours. two weeks ago it was just one the small hours. two weeks ago it wasjust one siren, the small hours. two weeks ago it was just one siren, a haunting the small hours. two weeks ago it wasjust one siren, a haunting new sound for many. but last night they were joined sound for many. but last night they werejoined by more. you compare it to a howling sound, a pack of wolves, if you like. but no explosions that could be heard from

the centre, but there were reports of sustained shellfire in certain pockets of the city. we wake up this morning to news that more humanitarian corridors have been announced. yesterday, 5000 people, some foreign students, some ukrainians, were evacuated along an agreed route out of sumy in the north—east that has had heavy shelling. they went to a city to the south, before making their way west with 2 million plus other people who made that journey. with 2 million plus other people who made thatjourney. that has been seen as a short—term success. russia has announced more humanitarian corridors on other cities going through intense fire. kharkiv, where 27 are reported to have been killed in the past 24—hour is. mariupol in the south—east. chernihiv to the north and kyiv, which is not yet surrounded, but these offers are

being made by russian troops. as we know, these are fragile arrangements. moscow has continually been accused of shelling those agreed roots for people to get out. but that is what is on the table this morning but once again a difficult decision for people to make who have weathered the storm so far. , . , make who have weathered the storm so far. �* ., , ., ~' i., make who have weathered the storm so far. �* ., , ., ~' ~ ., far. james, thank you. we will hear from ou far. james, thank you. we will hear from you throughout _ far. james, thank you. we will hear from you throughout the _ far. james, thank you. we will hear l from you throughout the programme and hearfrom some of from you throughout the programme and hear from some of the people who have to make that decision, do i stay in my home? if i do get out, what then? we will hear some of the human stories today. the defence secretary ben wallace will announce plans today to provide ukraine with further equipment and weapons. it comes after ukraine's president — volodymyr zelensky — gave an impassioned speech to a packed house of commons, via video link, in which he vowed to continue the fight. our political correspondent ione wells reports.

two standing ovations for the ukrainian president zelensky. mps were visibly moved as he evoked britain's wartime leader winston churchill's famous speeches from 1940, saying we will fight everywhere. translation: we will not give up and we will not lose. _ we will fight till the end, at sea, in the air. we will continue fighting for our land, whatever the cost. he thanked the uk for its support, but repeated calls for a no—fly zone as ukraine's skies remain open to russian planes and helicopters. translation: but it feels that, unfortunately, that the alliances don't work properly always. and the no—fly zone cannot be enforced. ministers have repeatedly ruled out a no—fly zone. the defence secretary ben wallace

believing this could trigger a europe—wide conflict, with nuclear armed russia. but today he will outline what further lethal aid to the uk what further lethal aid the uk could offer to ukraine. weapons to help ukrainians fend off russian forces. while military fighting continues in ukraine, western allies are continuing their economic battle with president putin closer to home. the business secretary kwasi kwarteng is expected to update mps later on plans to phase out russian oil imports to the uk by the end of the year. ministers say this will cut off a significant source of income for russia. but the move could mean higher fuel prices and bills. while russian jets have already been banned from uk airspace, that will now become a criminal offence, too, meaning the government can now detain any jet breaking the rules. the transport secretary grant shapps says this will suffocate putin's cronies' ability to continue living as normal, while thousands of innocent people die. but while efforts continue to deter

president putin, the war rages on. two million refugees have now fled the country. and when the prime minister faces mps today, he will likely face questions on what more the uk can do to help them. our chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us from westminster. the government faces continued pressure over its response to visas for refugees coming from ukraine. h0 for refugees coming from ukraine. in? updated figures on the number issued to ukrainians yet since yesterday lunchtime when it was about 500. so it is too early to judge if things have speeded up. but conservative backbenchers getting concerned and we had those concerns in parliament yesterday, they think the situation and process is too slow. the scheme is not generous enough. they are waiting details of the second route that ukrainian nationals will be

able to use where they are sponsored by individuals, organisations, communities. we are waiting details for this processing centre to be set “p for this processing centre to be set up in northern france, and for hundreds who have gone to calais to get visas, where we think it is, lille, is too far away. we will look out for the statement from the defence secretary he promised on this programme yesterday. how much more military kit will be uk centre ukraine? what is the uk view on the supposed offer from the polish government to send their aircraft, hand over their aircraft to the us to hand those aircraft over to ukraine. could that happen and would it be an escalation, is the uk in favour and could it contribute? we do not know. we will get an update from the business secretary on plans to ban imports of russian oil and

products like diesel. and in defence from the business secretary why the ban will not come until the end of the year, rather than straightaway to have maximum impact now. thank ou. adam to have maximum impact now. thank you. adam talking _ to have maximum impact now. thank you. adam talking about _ to have maximum impact now. thank you. adam talking about this - to have maximum impact now. thank you. adam talking about this offer poland has made to deploy fighter jets. basically give them to us air force base in germany as part of a plan to provide ukraine with more air support. our correspondent duncan kennedy is in washington. it isa it is a complex series of moves. it started out simply a few days ago when ukraine was looking for aircraft to take on russians and ukrainian airspace and the polish government offered between 20—30 jets to the ukrainians and the deal had the backing of the americans, who said if poland sent the jets to

ukraine directly, it would fill in the gaps in the polish air force. yesterday there seem to be a change of heart by the polish and they seem to get cold feet, perhaps they felt threatened by russians, so they came up threatened by russians, so they came up with a new plan not to send planes directly to ukraine but send them to an american air base in germany for the plains to be forwarded on to ukraine. this blindsided the americans. the state department said it was surprised by the polish deal and said it had not been consulted. the pentagon said the polish plan was untenable and said think of the idea of sending jets from a us nato base in germany to overfly the contested airspace in ukraine. they said that would lead to serious concerns of the whole nato alliance, in other words it would lead to an escalation, potentially having us jets competing against russian jets. the americans rowing back on this. i suspect that

when the us vice president lands in poland later today, she will make it clear this plan is not going anywhere, certainly so far as the americans are concerned.- anywhere, certainly so far as the americans are concerned. more than two million people have now left ukraine since the invasion began, according to the united nations — and that number is going to increase. in the last two weeks, the refugees have faced trauma, hunger, fear and fatigue. but — as lewis goodall reports — they have also been met with many acts of kindness along the way. all throughout europe, all through the day, all through the night, journeys of mercy are being made. this german group of paramedics from frankfurt are making the 1250 mile journey to the polish border to use their ambulance bus to help provide medical care to ukraine's refugees.

we call it in germany ambulance bus — so a big bus. you can take six people on the beds here and you can take medical care of them. like an emergency room. but the germans aren't the only samaritans on the road. indeed, the approach is full of people arriving. this crossing, and everything that goes with it, has ballooned, even in a week since we first came here. this has become a village, albeit with no permanent inhabitants. just those on their way through, trying to work out what comes next. a process even set to music. surreally, almost no item can't be found, donated or abandoned

at this weird frontier. such is the demand on transport, the police have asked if the paramedics can drive families to the next town. the baby's name is lev. it means lion, which can hardly be more appropriate. all the children of this country are being forced to summon up courage beyond their years. what is your name? alisa victoria and my brother andrin. hi, my name's lewis. where have you come from in ukraine? kharkiv. from kharkiv? yes. so very bad fighting in kharkiv? yeah, very bad. how long have you been travelling? how many days? two days. two days? yes. very cold.

this will be the end of the journey for few. most, including little lev, will have much further to go. and more courage to show. the morning train from the border to krakow, two hours to the west. it is yet more time spent, more energy expended. but as desperate as it feels here, and it does, you are neverfar from something to lift the spirits, a bit of heart to punctuate the poor. volunteers at each stop handing over food and water at every carriage door. look at that. it's needed, all the supplies. that was full of bread 30 seconds ago. it is now completely empty. child cries.

just look at this, just look at this. imagine new street station or euston station, king's cross station, manchester piccadilly station, like this. that is the scale of what this country is facing. where are you going now? you're from kharkiv. where are you going now? we go to germany. when you think of vladimir putin, what do you think? terrorist number one. yes. terrorist number one? how old are you? iam i7. you are 17. yes. i study in high school. many here don't know where they are going. but some are luckier.

1.2 million have entered poland. and yet there are no refugee camps. that is because of people like kasia and marcin. poles who have taken in entire ukrainian families to their homes. a family of four has become seven. and to be clear, you do not know oksana? not at all. you never met her before? no. she came to stay with you. when did she arrive? last wednesday, ash wednesday. do you know others who have done it? yes. actually, we are surrounded by people who did this. our cousin who lives next door, yesterday he took a family of three, as well. do you have any idea how long this arrangement will last? no one does. so it is open—ended? that is what i told her when i picked her up at the train station. i said, ok, you can stay with us as long as you need to. it isn't just the family thinking about the long—term.

the polish authorities are seeking to integrate refugees at such speed, that within less than a week, oksana's kids have already been enrolled in a local school. in poland, we remember the second world war here and, for example, my grandfather, he was a soldier and i believe he survived because, at some point, some stranger helped him as well. this war, like that war, is hell. but now, as then, in hell's embers, everywhere you look there is light.

the best and worst of us. the uncomfortable thing, when you really sit and think about it, is that one has to flow from the other. humanity in all its shades. and we will speak to lewis later in the programme. many of the ukrainian refugees heading to the uk have now reached calais — but they can't cross the channel until they get a visa. and that process is far from simple, orfast. breakfast'sjohn maguire is at a migrant hostel in calais. morning, john. what is the latest on how this process is going to work, even if it is not working at the moment? we are waitin: for is not working at the moment? we are waiting for detail. _ is not working at the moment? we are waiting for detail. adam _ is not working at the moment? we are waiting for detail. adam said - is not working at the moment? we are waiting for detail. adam said that - is not working at the moment? we are waiting for detail. adam said that a - waiting for detail. adam said that a few minutes ago. people have made this incredible journey, just looking around where i am, there are lots of cars with ukrainian

numberplates that have obviously fled ukraine. something 1500 miles to get to hear. i imagine they think calais is the closest point to the british mainland, 25 miles to the kent coast just across the british mainland, 25 miles to the kent coastjust across the channel. they have come here, tried to apply for a visa but as we saw at the weekend, being pushed from pillar to post, following the pieces of paper that simply have a phone number and a very long website, e—mail address people have to try to follow up. i spoke to a family earlier this morning that said they have got an appointment, but that is at brussels. luckily, they have a vehicle, they. the new centre where the visas will be processed is in lille around 114 kilometres away, an hour and a quarter, so how will people get there? the reason the

government seems to be saying it has moved things away from calais is that it does not want people who have fled, desperately fleeing to get away from warfare, they do not want them getting mixed up with the people smugglers, the type of criminal operations that have been working in this part of the coastline for the past years. but there will be people here watching us, reading bbc, contacting family backin us, reading bbc, contacting family back in the uk, trying desperately to get across the channel. and still yet with no obvious route on how they are able to do that. john will be hearing _ they are able to do that. john will be hearing from _ they are able to do that. john will be hearing from some _ they are able to do that. john will be hearing from some of - they are able to do that. john will be hearing from some of those i be hearing from some of those families during the programme and we will speak to transport secretary grant shapps about what the government intends to do over the days to come to try to speed up that process. now the weather with carol.

good morning. it is not as cold start today. we do not have issues with frost. it is a murky start but we should see sunshine in the east whereas in the wet west it will be wet and windy. gales this morning, weather warning in the outer hebrides, up to 70 mph. we have heavy rain moving in from the west. but the murky conditions in central and eastern areas will break up and we will see sunshine. these are the gusts and their strength, the strongest across the north—west through the morning. a windy day, especially in the west. these are temperatures... 9—13. overnight, a weather front pushes to the south and east with cold air cutting in behind. in the highlands and

grampian is we could see snow on the hills. fog in north—west scotland and northern ireland. a cold night in the north but 9—10 further south. tomorrow we will have remnants of the weather front producing cloud and rain. it should brighten up in western areas and we should see brightness across the far south—east. and not as windy. in the sunshine, some parts of the south—east could see 15 degrees. above average for the time of year. thank you. let's return now to those bans on russian oil imports that were announced yesterday by the uk and us governments — and plans by the eu to reduce its reliance on russian gas. it's intended to hurt the russian economy but we'll all be feeling the impact, too.

nina will explain. this is exerting economic pressure but will this hit putin where it hurts? that is the multi—billion pound question. the prime minister said probably not immediately but it puts on pressure because oil is a huge part of the russian economy, and it is the world's third largest oil producer making 11 million barrels every day and around half sold around the world. russian oil, gas and coal will no longer be going to the us because president biden announced it will not be accepted at american ports, which is big news. when you consider 8% of american fuel comes from russia, is it that big? the uk is banning imports of oil but not till the end of the year and there is not a ban on gas as yet. seeing as we do not use russian petrol and there are questions about the impact and some even argue it could do more damage to prices over

here. a world where we push up the price to 139, $200 a barrel, means that— the russians only have to sell half of what they were selling last week when it was $100 a barrel and make the same amount of money. so to some extent, it is helping them by pushing up prices. so i don't think it is a very sensible option to pursue. i think the oil price could go up significantly with the impact of the us and the uk's decision, but i am more worried about the impact on the gas price and whether the russians are provoked into shutting off any of the gas into europe. important to say the eu has not banned imports which is significant because more than half of the crude oil russia exports goes there and the eu relies on russia for more of a third of its oil and gas. instead they pledged to reduce demand for russian gas by two thirds and hope

to be fully independent by 2030. a commentator said it is like taking eggs out of a cooked omelette, hard and messy. their idea is to ask consumers to turn down the thermostat by one degree. could we be asked to do the same here? not according to the business secretary. no, no. i think we have a balanced approach. i think people can use their own common sense in terms of- managing their energy sources. as i have always - said, we have a very resilient system. if we had announced - a ban immediately, that would have had a really. serious impact on prices. i think this phased - approach strikes a good balance between eliminating reliance on russian oil, but also allowing - people time, and people in the market, to adapt. to the new situation. yesterday mcdonald's joined other

businesses by closing on russia. when mcdonald's opened in russia it was seen as so symbolic. the fall of the iron curtain. to close it feels like a moment, the curtain going back up. now around economic sanctions, reduction of oil and gas alliance will work, whether it plays into the putin narrative that the world is ganging up on them, and also what it will do to energy prices in the because we are facing £1 70 at the prices in the because we are facing £170 at the pump in the next few months. it is going in that direction again, i am sorry to say. time to get the news where you are. a very good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. there were more than 100,000 reports of fraud in london last year, according to the national fraud

intelligence bureau. of those, nearly 6,000 were cyber—crimes, which includes hacking into people's emails and social media. the london assembly's meeting today to hear about the impact on londoners. new images of the proposed hs2 station at euston have been released. the new station hall will be larger than trafalgar square, and it's scheduled to open sometime between 2029 and 2033. the controversial rail line is billions of pounds over budget and has seen numerous revisions. they were ground—breaking and provocative, and now you can go and see 20 of damien hirst�*s formaldehyde works in the first dedicated exhibition of its kind. it features preserved animals like sheep, cows and sharks. if you've got the stomach for it, then they're on display from tomorrow at the gagosian gallery in kings cross.

a hairdresserfrom peckham says she dreams of qualifying for next year's women's world cup. otesha charles, who plays her club football for gillingham, helped guyana win two world cup qualifiers last month and is hoping the south american country can cause a shock and make it all the way to the finals in australia and new zealand. i am so excited. i mean, like, we have a very good chance of qualifying in this round. to play in the world cup, i mean, that's, like, a dream for any footballer, female, male, it doesn't even matter. if you're using the tube this morning this is how things are looking. the metropolitan line is part suspended northbound from rickmansworth to amersham and chesham, there's an ongoing part closure on the northern line until mid may and the piccadilly line has minor delays acton town to rayners lane. that takes us to the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it's not feeling as cold this morning as it did yesterday morning, temperatures overnight stayed mid to high single figures. so a reasonably mild start today. we have got quite a bit of cloud

though, we have had a few spots of rain that that's clearing along with the cloud. it's thinning and breaking, a decent afternoon, plenty of sunshine but still quite breezy. gusts of 25 to 30 mph. temperatures a touch milder at 13 celsius. now, overnight, we've got some clearer spells at first, but our next front just starts to edge towards us from the west. very slow moving again but we will see the cloud increasing through the night. the odd spot of rain potentially. temperatures, eight or nine celsius, so again, not especially cold. a mild start to thursday. that front really takes its time through tomorrow, it will bring more cloud, maybe one or two outbreaks of mainly light rain but you could get one or two heavy bursts. temperatures tomorrow up to a mild 14 celsius. one or two spots could get to 15. now, for friday, that cold front, or another cold front, just edges further east bringing some showers. some of those could be quite heavy, you might hear a rumble of thunder in one or two of them. through the weekend,

it stays unsettled. i'm back in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. let's get up to date with everything that has been happening overnight in ukraine. james reynolds is here to run through the details. thanks, jon and sally. this is how things are looking as the 14th day of the russian invasion begins. let's look at ukraine. the bits in red are where russian forces are either in control or advancing. it's trying to link territory in the south and east, and preparing to try to take further ground in the north. this morning, there have been reports of air sirens in several ukrainian cities, including the capital kyiv. if you hear one you have to dash to find a bunker or basement.

but there is nobody there, a lot of people have left the city, a lot of people have left the city, a lot of people know that the safest place is of the street when the air rain warning sirens go. —— air raid warning sirens go. —— air raid warning sirens. russia has proposed a number of humanitarian corridors, basically escape routes for civilians. yesterday, as you can see here, there was a 12 hour ceasefire to allow several thousand people to flee the northern city of sumy in a convoy of buses. that evacuation will continue today, russia is also proposing further routes, in chernihiv, kharkiv, and in the southern city of mariupol. this last city has been besieged and bombarded. many will only feel safe once they've left the country. more than two million ukrainians have done so. millions more could follow.

most have ended up in poland. only a very few have made it to the uk. poland isn'tjust hosting refugees. it's also suggesting ways to arm ukraine. it's offered to send all of its russian—made mig—29 fighterjets to a us airbase in germany as a launch pad for possible missions by ukrainian pilots. but the us is really reluctant to get drawn into this plan. it's really worried about doing anything that might lead to a direct war between its forces and russia. both us and russia our nuclear powers, of course. in the last few minutes, we've heard that the russian foreign minister, sergi lavrov will travel to turkey later today for talks with his ukrainian counterpart, dmytro kuleba, according to a russian state news agency. that would be the highest level talks since the invasion began. thank you, i know you'll keep us

up—to—date. russia has claimed its forces will stop firing on kyiv and four other cities in just under half an hour to allow civilians to leave. but we have heard that before, haven't we? one of those cities is mariupol, which has come under sustained and heavy bombardment. diana berg managed to leave with her husband a few days ago. she joins us now from vinnytsia in central ukraine. good morning to you, thank you so much for talking to us. how are you after what i know has been an incredibly tough few days? goad incredibly tough few days? good morninu. incredibly tough few days? good morning- sally _ incredibly tough few days? good morning. sally and _ incredibly tough few days? good morning. sally and jon - incredibly tough few days? good morning. sally and jon and - incredibly tough few days? (13mm morning. sally and jon and everyone. welcome it has been a horror, it has been a survival horror. i have spent only three days in that blockade, i spent eight days in the invasion in

variable and the last three days have been hell. people who have been left behind in mariupol are in this position, it is a survival horror. as for me, i am safe and i am privileged to have hot coffee with us. i mean, privileged... i’m privileged to have hot coffee with us. i mean, privileged... i'm sorry, diana. i us. i mean, privileged... i'm sorry, diana- i know— us. i mean, privileged... i'm sorry, diana. i know that _ us. i mean, privileged... i'm sorry, diana. i know that members - us. i mean, privileged... i'm sorry, diana. i know that members of - us. i mean, privileged... i'm sorry, | diana. i know that members of your family have had to stay behind, what kind of contact have you had with them since you have managed to get out? , , ., , ._ , out? during this last five days, since the time _ out? during this last five days, since the time we _ out? during this last five days, since the time we left, - out? during this last five days, since the time we left, we - out? during this last five days, - since the time we left, we managed to escape, we only had once, from a relative, one call from a relative, one call, one text message from my friend. and anotherfriend managed to text someone. that is pretty

much, we are not able to get any information from there. that's why mariupol doesn't have chronicles of this war, because there is no information, because there is a total blockade, no connection, no networks, and no light, no electricity, no heat, no drinking water, no corridors. i heard james spoke about corridors from sumy, and i'm happy for those people who were able to get out. but mariupol is the hottest, almost like a black spot on the ukrainian map now. you don't get information from there, onlyjust like little bits you managed to find. and the russians do not let evacuation, they shell and bomb the

convoys. there were three attempts already to get some aid, humanitarian aid into the city. and it didn't happen because russia lies, all the time.— it didn't happen because russia lies, all the time. obviously you are explaining — lies, all the time. obviously you are explaining what _ lies, all the time. obviously you are explaining what we - lies, all the time. obviously you are explaining what we are - lies, all the time. obviously you i are explaining what we are hearing as well that information is really hard to come by. talk us through what the situation in mariupol was like, and what those three days of the blockade were like for you? what were the living conditions like? it was a survival horror starting. but now it's even worse. what was it like? well, just imagine, you have no electricity. because an air strike has damaged, russian air strike has damaged, russian air strike of course, has damaged the power. there were ten stations and they damaged all of them. so all the

devices are already dead, all your devices. even if you had a connection, telephone or anything. the city is in total darkness. it is like a black, scary forest. and then there is no heating, because of course, it is powered from electricity. no heating and no water, because everything of the infrastructure was damaged. just imagine yourself spending one day without water at all, having no water from, without water at all, having no waterfrom, in your without water at all, having no water from, in your home. without water at all, having no waterfrom, in your home. and this now lasts for more than a week. and then, on top of it, there is no, no any connection because all of the towers were also damaged. any network. you are not able to call anyone, you don't know what's

happening, you don't know what happened in ukraine or in the world or even in your own city. because the only news you get is the direction of where the bombs fall. and if it's not your house, you are happy enough. you can only guess what is ruined now and whether your relatives are ok, but it's too dangerous to go check on them. three kilometres by feet, because you can just get under the rocket or anything like that. it's very dangerous. it's a humanitarian catastrophe. people now, they managed to get water from the snow, they melt the snow, they team up in their backyards and make fire to first get warm and then prepare the food. because three days ago, the

gas system was damaged by the russians in that district, in that region. so there is no gas. you cannot cook, no utilities at all, and total, brutal, nonstop, constant, bombing of everything. civilian buildings, streets, hospitals, dorms, schools, blood stations, everything. it'sjust unimaginable. you cannot even imagine in europe, that is a nightmare, how it's there, how people are doing now. and everything is like... the city runs out of all the goods left, like medicine, there was no fuel from the first day,

medicine, it's not left there. the same goes for food. this medicine, it's not left there. the same goes forfood. this is medicine, it's not left there. the same goes for food. this is a total catastrophe. you know that a girl died of dehydration yesterday in mariupol? they found her under the ruins of a bombed house. her mother was killed, and the girl was there in the basement, lying with no water, with nothing, she died of dehydration. i mean, it's horrible. diana, you paid such a vivid and horrific picture of what you have been through. i think it brings it home to us here about the reality of what you have seen and experienced. just explain to us, how on earth did you manage to get out? that must have been a dangerous, dangerous mission in itself.— mission in itself. exactly. so, it was all the _ mission in itself. exactly. so, it was all the choices _ mission in itself. exactly. so, it was all the choices were - mission in itself. exactly. so, it- was all the choices were dangerous.

by was all the choices were dangerous. by the time when we had to make them. it's either stay or go. we opted for the short version of suicide me and my husband, we knew that would be dangerous. although we wanted to stay as long in our city as we could. we wanted to be there. and i have escaped my hometown already before, it was eight years ago from the so soi so i didn't want to do it again. we decided to try. we had to break through two lines of russians. they had made a checkpoint outside of

mariupol, they started surrounding, we saw them, we saw several groups of russians, and this second circle of russians, and this second circle of surrounding, we were counting the military column. they crossed the rope with around 20 tents, we squeezed between them, it was a crazy mission. on the road we saw burning tents, it was under shelling, something was bombed before, just minutes before, so it was all smoke. and it isjust before, just minutes before, so it was all smoke. and it is just crazy. but yesterday, we saw, we just met a family at a gas station, a family from mariupol. and we spoke, and the woman said that they left one day after us, just one day, and what

they told me, it was even more crazy. because they faced even more crazy. because they faced even more crazy and nightmare escape. so it means that every day, it's getting worse and worse. they are making it worse and worse. they are making it worse for civilians every day. and we need to come every day can be the last for our relatives and friends. and i don't know what to do. we try to do something, but, i don't know, we are helpless, and we feel useless, not being able to help. diana, thank you so much for sharing your story with all of us this morning. your story with all of us this morning-— your story with all of us this morninu. �* .. , ~ ., , morning. because i think it really hels us morning. because i think it really helps us understand _ morning. because i think it really helps us understand the - morning. because i think it really helps us understand the reality i morning. because i think it really| helps us understand the reality of what you have been through. sally was saying, we have not been able to get much information out of mariupol

over the last few days as your testimony really helps. we wish you well and your family well and it would be good to catch up with you, please say say. would be good to catch up with you, please say say-— please say say. thank you, thank ou. -- please say say. thank you, thank you. -- pleasesay_ please say say. thank you, thank you. -- pleasesay safe. - please say say. thank you, thank l you. -- pleasesay safe. important please say say. thank you, thank - you. -- pleasesay safe. important to net her you. -- pleasesay safe. important to get her story — you. -- pleasesay safe. important to get her story because _ you. -- pleasesay safe. important to get her story because the _ get her story because the information has been very hard to get, so we have an eyewitness report there. both england's side have been playing within a few hours of each other. we start with a big shock, the women will be bitterly disappointed with their second defeat of the tournament one which leaves a succesful defence of their title in the balance. they lost by seven runs as they tried to chase down their target, they were all out for 218. the batting line up struggled, but perhaps more costly were the mistakes in the field, six missed chances. and after an opening defeat to australia and now this,

they can't afford another slip up with the top four teams heading through to the semi finals. the men are hoping their test series with west indies will prove to be the reset they need. in their first test since the embarassment of the ashes they were only saved by the brilliance ofjonny bairstow on the opening day in antigua as they finished on 268—6. joe wilson is there. the sweetest of traditions, with covid considerations. you know where we are. this is definitely antigua, and australia. this is definitely antigua, and not australia. and for england, anywhere is better than australia, right? well, they don't win very often in the caribbean either. alex lees on his england debut lasted nine minutes. finger goes up! next, zak crawley, 17—2, but time to remember, england have won one series here since 1968. well, how about now? joe root undone by the outstanding kemar roach. yes, captain clean bowled. jonny bairstow led the recovery. this ground is open to the elements and the vaccinated tourists.

england fans everywhere. ben foakes, sublime wicketkeeper but england have doubted his batting. well, he looked good here. foakes had scored 42 when the eternally accurate jason holder got him lbw. but bairstow, over ten years, all over the world, he's repeatedly reminded england of his worth. his eighth test match 100, in this time of restarts and resets, the value of experience. joe wilson, bbc news, in antigua. the premier league has suspended its broadcast deal with russia following the invasion of ukraine. the move will take effect immediately, meaning tomorrow's four games won't be shown in the country. the fa's also suspended its agreement with russia. that means none of this month's fa cup quarterfinal matches will be shown there.

messages of support for ukraine continue, liverpool lining up with inter milan behind a peace banner before their champions league tie with inter milan at anfield. a match they lost 1—0 after a brilliant goal from lautaro martinez, their first defeat at anfeld in a year, they still reached the quarter finals 2—1 on aggregate. they are still fighting are many different competitions, liverpool. it doesn't happen often that they lose. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. this morning it is quite a murky start to the day but no first to report, none causing any issues, but we do have —— no frost to report. but we do have a wet and windy start. the strongest winds will be in the outer hebrides where we could have severe gale leading to destruction, they will slowly ease through the afternoon. after the murky start, it should brighten up

the further east you are. you can make out the front yesterday that it is weakening, but we have some heavy rain coming in from the west, the isobars are squeezed telling you it will be a windy day. the wind is southerly so it is milder but we have a cold undercurrent coming in later on across the north west. the cloud continuing to break up, sunny spells developing across central and eastern areas, the heavy and persistent rain continues across scotland and northern ireland, edging into north—west england, wales and the south—west later on in day. dusty wind, the black circles represent what you can expect at about 4pm. the wind is easing across scotland and northern ireland, temperatures, nine in the north, 13 in the south. this evening and overnight the band of rain continues to push steadily east, with the cold undercurrent coming in behind it. we could see some hill snow across

higher ground in scotland. and some fog forming across north—west scotland and northern ireland. cooler in the north west, still mild in the south. into tomorrow, we have the weather front or the remnants of it, producing a fair bit of cloud, some spots of rain. then some showers coming up from the channel islands, pushing on across central and southern england, eventually making it into northern england later on in the day. brighter skies on either side of that. temperatures, nine to 14 or 15 degrees in any prolonged spells of sunshine. it will be a blustery day as well and by the end of the day, you can already see the next further front coming our way. this weather front coming our way. this weather front is going to be pushing north and east, we will have some heavy rain on this as well. after a dry start with a few showers, the rain arrives across scotland, northern england and northern ireland. behind it we will see some showers for the rest of england and wales, some

could be heavy and thundery with some hail mixed in. eight in the north, 11, 12 and 13 pushing down towards the south and the east. if you are wondering about the weekend, it is looking unsettled with rain and showers at times and the wind will pick up especially on sunday. thank you very much indeed. if you see crowds of children heading off to school this morning, you'd be forgiven for thinking the disruption caused by coronavirus is all in the past. sadly, that's not the case. a large number of young people in england are failing to attend school after the pandemic, with nearly 1.8 million being persistently absent last term. that's according to a report by england's schools commissioner dame rachel de souza, who says the issue needs urgent attention. with more on this, here's our education editor branwenjeffreys. blake started skipping school in year eight. he fell behind and lost confidence.

i came back a while, and then ijust went off again. and then, like, after covid and all that, after all the lockdowns, tried to go back in but ijust didn't like it. now in year 11, blake is getting tutoring at this youth centre. it'sjust, like, one to one. i never have to, like, catch up to anyone else or anything. i can just be at my own pace and that, and work through at my speed. so, just checking in with you, you're here three days a week now? the team here work with teenagers to get them back on track. so blake will sit gcses this summer and has a job lined up. but this report looked at pupils missing school in the autumn term in england. it estimates almost 1.8 million missed at least 10%. only some of that due to covid. an estimated 122,000 were missing more than 50% of school,

that's more than previously thought. an unknown number never go to school. they may be very few, but are most at risk. overall these latest estimates reveal a problem bigger than before the pandemic. only 50% of local authorities could even give us an estimate, but it's still a huge and worrying number of children who are not in school. some of that is covid, but probably only about a third of it is covid, so it's important. how can we make notes from lots of information? schools are making up for all of the disruption, but everywhere, there are some pupils struggling with the return to the classroom. children skipping school regularly for whatever reason are missing out on friendships, missing out on their education in a way that can fundamentally alter their life chances. but they're also out of sight,

and for some, that puts their safety or even their lives at risk. for the first time, this liverpool school is seeing more persistent absence. and so what we're finding is that we having to work with individualfamilies in order to make sure we can build those bridges back, that we can welcome the students back into school so they can see their friends to gain, access lessons again and feel part of our community again. a deeper investigation is under way in some areas. school attendance has moved up ministers' priorities. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. the department for education says a new pilot programme has been launched to improve the quality of school attendance data and make sure no child needlessly misses out on education. it's a story that affects so many of us, do get in touch with us if you

have something to say to add to that debate. we will have the latest from ukraine and developments overnight in a couple of minutes. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. there were more than a 100,000 reports of fraud in london last year, according to the national fraud intelligence bureau. of those, nearly 6,000 were cybercrimes — which includes hacking into people's emails and social media. the london assembly's meeting today to hear about the impact on londoners. new images of the proposed hs2 station at euston have been released. the new station hall will be larger than trafalgar square, and it's scheduled to open sometime between 2029 and 2033. the controversial rail line is billions of pounds over budget and has seen numerous revisions.

they were groundbreaking and provocative, and now you can go and see 20 of damien hirst�*s formaldehyde works in the first dedicated exhibition of its kind. it features preserved animals like sheep, cows and sharks. if you've got the stomach for it, then they're on display from tomorrow at the gagosian gallery in kings cross. a hairdresser from peckham says she dreams of qualifying for next year's women's world cup. otesha charles, who plays her club football for gillingham, helped guyana win two world cup qualifiers last month and is hoping the south american country can cause a shock and make it all the way to the finals in australia and new zealand. i am so excited. i mean, like, we have a very good chance of qualifying in this round. to play in the world cup, i mean, that's, like, a dream for any footballer, female, male, it well if you're using the tube

this morning this is how things are looking... the metropolitan line is part suspended northbound from rickmansworth to amersham and chesham and there's an ongoing part closure on the northern line until mid may. that take us to the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning, it's not feeling as cold as yesterday morning. temperatures overnight in central london staying at 8—9c. frost—free this morning but we have more cloud. spots of rain, but that seems to have cleared. the cloud thinning and breaking this morning. a decent afternoon. plenty of sunshine. a breezy day, gusting 25—30 mph. temperatures milder, at 14 celsius in the sunshine. overnight, starting with clearer spells. gradually, the cloud increasing from the west. the chance of rain. still quite breezy overnight. minimum temperature 8—9c. another mild start tomorrow morning.

we will see more cloud tomorrow. the front in the west is slow—moving but it means it will be a largely cloudy start. still some bright spells. glimpses of sunshine. the chance of one or two spots of rain tomorrow. temperatures still feeling mild, despite the breeze, with a maximum of 14, potentially 15 celsius. as we head through friday, the chance of showers. one or two could be heavy and you might hear a rumble of thunder. dry on saturday but through the weekend it stays u nsettled. i'm back in half an hour. there's plenty more on our website though. see you soon. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. thousands of civilians have been evacuated from areas under siege from russian forces — but efforts to move people out of the southern city of mariupol have failed for a fourth day. it was so terrible, and my parents,

i left my parents in sumy. i hope i will see them another time. russia says its troops will stop firing in the next few minutes for people to leave cities including kyiv but there's been no confirmation from ukraine. as 2 million people flee the fighting, the uk's home office is told to �*get a grip' and speed up the process for thousands of families stuck waiting for visas. england facing west indies in the cricket. jonny bairstow rescues the men in antigua. the women slipped to their second defeat of the world cup in new zealand. endurance lives up to its name — 100 years after ernest shakleton�*s 100 years after ernest shackleton�*s ship sank off antarctia, it's been discovered in near perfect condition. we have another windy day ahead,

especially the outer hebrides where you will have severe gales this morning. in the west, heavy rain come again. in the east, it should brighten up. all the details throughout the programme. it's wednesday the 9th of march. the russian authorities have said they'll pause their bombardment of kyiv and four other cities so that civilians can leave. chernihiv, sumy, kharkiv and mariupol will all receive a temporary reprieve, according to a russian state news agency. it was due to start a couple of minutes ago. however, several previous ceasfires have not been honoured. overnight, air raid sirens and loud exlosions have been heard in kyiv, as russian forces continue to muster for an attack — and the ukrainians have vowed to "fight to the end". james reynolds has the latest details.

early this morning air raid sirens soundedin early this morning air raid sirens sounded in kyiv. the streets were largely empty. everyone left, took shelter underground. for 12 hours, a ceasefirejust about held in the northern city of sumy, allowing 5000 civilians to escape into central ukraine. in this war, everyjourney involves risk and heartbreak. it was so terrible, and my parents — i left my parents in sumy. i hope i will see them another time. this is the war they were fleeing. russia promises further temporary ceasefires later today to allow evacuations from other cities, including chernihiv, kharkiv and also the besieged mariupol in the south. the exodus from the city of irpin, near the capital kyiv, is slow and agonising.

more than 2 million civilians have now left the country. the united nations says more than 470 civilians have been killed in the invasion. the casualties include children. old enough to be scared, too young to understand why they are being bombarded. to fight the russian army, poland proposes sending its fighter jets to a us air force base in germany. but the us is cool to the offer. it does not want to provoke a direct fight between its forces and russia. two powers each armed with nuclear weapons. so, instead, the us is focusing on cutting off russia. washington is now banning the import of russian oil. the uk says it will phase out russian oil imports by the end of the year, and the eu, which relies heavily on russian energy,

plans to cut its use by two thirds. the sanctions are not enough, but do not listen to those who say sanctions do not matter. they already matter, they already matter for us. unfortunately, their effect is not that quick and swift as we would have expected, because every minute, every hour, a soldier or a civilian is dying in ukraine, while sanctions are discussed, then thought over, then slightly introduced. we need as strong sanctions as possible immediately. in the southern city of odesa, still controlled by ukraine, there are lighter moments. don't worry, be happy plays the band. perhaps easier said than done. the capital kyiv puts up whatever defences it can build. the russian army is just miles away and this city can sense its approach.

james reynolds, bbc news. what is the situation in russia? our correspondentjenny hill is in moscow for us this morning. we are seeing companies pulling out, mcdonald's last night, new sanctions. what do people in russia make of this? the sanctions. what do people in russia make of this?— make of this? the kremlin is trying to mitiaate make of this? the kremlin is trying to mitigate the _ make of this? the kremlin is trying to mitigate the effects _ make of this? the kremlin is trying to mitigate the effects of _ make of this? the kremlin is trying to mitigate the effects of sanctions j to mitigate the effects of sanctions so today the moscow stock exchange, we see trading there is partially suspended and people with foreign currency bank accounts face now restrictions on what they are able to withdraw. you are right, russians can see for themselves this country is increasingly isolated. you mention the western brands, coca—cola, starbucks, announcing overnight they are pulling out. western shops here, some of them

already shuttered. and mcdonald's is already shuttered. and mcdonald's is a big deal here. for many russians it became a symbol of a new relationship with the west when it opened first as the iron curtain collapsed. russians can see what is happening. the real economic hardship that most analysts predict will hit ordinary russians pretty soon has yet to really come into effect although we are seeing supermarkets starting to impose restrictions on how much in the way of goods people can buy to try to stop panic buying. it will take a little longer. and you have to bear in mind vladimir putin tightly controls what russians see, hear, read about what he calls the special military operation in ukraine. you will know he has changed the law so anyone who knowingly publishes what the kremlin would deem to be false information about the russian army and its activities could face a sentence of up to 15 years. people

here largely now looking at state—controlled media, the independent press very much silence. there are outlets but it is difficult for them to operate. there are still protests on almost a daily basis. yesterday an independent monitoring group said around 90 people were arrested for demonstrating to whatjournalists are no longer legally allowed to refer to as a war or invasion in ukraine. poland has taken in the most ukrainian refugees — welcoming more than one—point—two million across its border. there are no refugee camps in poland but many refugees are being hosted by families in their own homes. our correspondent lewis goodall is in krakow. lewis, you've seen many acts of kindness in poland. is the country ready to host these ukrainians in the long term?

as you say, it is extraordinary what has happened in poland. 1.2 million crossing into poland. not all will stay but many well and that figure is 24, 36 hours old. who knows what level it has reached? what is astonishing is this has been done, so far at least, without a single refugee camp. i have been to cross things from the south to the norm. there are transit centres where people can get food and drink and arrange ongoing transport and may be sleep, but no permanent beds you see in places of crisis in terms of refugees around the world. why is that? because of the enormous charity and generosity of the polish people. family afterfamily charity and generosity of the polish people. family after family taking in, often doubling the size of their own household by taking in ukrainian families. we spoke to a family here,

of four, they have taken in ukrainianfamily of four, they have taken in ukrainian familyjust from by of four, they have taken in ukrainian family just from by the nuclear power plant that had been shelved. the mother said she did not know what she would have done had the family not taking her in. they had not had contact before. registered with the council who asked them to get down to the train station, they had a family, they did so and they have made an open—ended commitment that as long as the war last, they will stay with them. thank you for the latest information from poland. chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now from westminster. the issue about how the uk deals with refugees is still very much top of the political agenda. we with refugees is still very much top of the political agenda.— of the political agenda. we are waitin: of the political agenda. we are waiting for— of the political agenda. we are waiting for updated _ of the political agenda. we are waiting for updated numbers i of the political agenda. we are l waiting for updated numbers for visas issued to ukrainians wanting

to come to the uk. yesterday lunchtime, it was 500, a lot less than numbers lewis was talking about in poland. understandably less, although government critics will say it is because the system in the uk is too slow. let's judge it when we get more data. we are waiting for details of a second route for ukrainians to come to the uk where they can be sponsored. we could get details about that later. this week. the uk has beefed up sanctions against russian aircraft and it will be a criminal offence for planes owned by russians, connected to russia, to fly over the uk, take off or land. that is escalating the previous ban on russian airlines operating over and in the uk. it is having an effect because there is a private plane at farnborough airport grounded, even though it is

luxembourg registered as authorities investigate if it is really owned by someone from russia and was used to take a russian person out. it looks like sanctions are already starting to have an effect. the government has been criticised for not going as far as other governments in europe and actually seizing property such as yachts, stuff like that. it will be interesting to see if that develops further. we are waiting to hear more details from the defence secretary because on the programme yesterday he said he would give an update to parliament about how much military kit is being sent to ukraine to help them repel the russians. we will hear from the business secretary because the government announced there will be a ban on importing russian oil and oil products, which affects diesel. it will not come in fully till the end of the year and he will be asked why it is not happening straightaway.

thank you. one of the cities where russian officials have pledged a temporary ceasefire this morning to allow civilians to leave is kharkiv, in the east of ukraine. in a moment we'll speak to a kharkiv resident — oleksandr — who is the lead singer with a folk band. he and his bandmates have been sheltering in their basement studio, where they've been live—streaming performances to keep spirits up. take a look. we have a basement that is 160 square metres. we can bring them safety. my friends, a little child, his grandmother. and now more people

coming. # i'm going to fight them all. # i'm going to fight them all. # a seven nation army could not hold me back. this is still going to be the sound director's room. now it is a kitchen. this is a studio. we do online streams from here. almost daily. oleksandr joins us now. we have just seen you performing. how have people reacted to concerts you have been staging in the

because now it is not exclusive, i was told my house was ruined. but mine was first among my friends and ones i know. and my house was almost totally destroyed. but the house next to mine lost some windows, so i hosted my neighbours here. and it is like sewing fabric around in the basement. also the people who stay here, well, they came down when they heard a missile alert. so it was my neighbours, family and friends of mine with kids and another family joined us. up to 20 people maximum.

unbelievable. it neverfails studio basement. it isjust unbelievable. it never fails to astound me the kind of resilience, sense of humour. i was not in the house when it was bombed, so that is a good thing. i want to go to kyiv now. james waterhouse is there. we know there is talk of a temporary ceasefire coming into effect, 20 minutes ago, but we have heard that before. what is the latest? is it working this time? so is the latest? is it working this time? ., , ., , time? so far, we understand it is. we do not — time? so far, we understand it is. we do not know— time? so far, we understand it is. we do not know how _ time? so far, we understand it is. we do not know how many - time? so far, we understand it is. we do not know how many people time? so far, we understand it is. - we do not know how many people are trying to leave. this is a series of announcements by the russian defence ministry of pauses in fighting along key cities including sumy to the north—east, chernihiv, mariupol.

mariupol has had failed attempted ceasefires before over the past days where people have tried to leave moscow has been accused of shelling the route people are trying to get out of. these ceasefires have been announced, including india. we do not yet know the final destinations where people will be able to escape the fighting. —— including here in kyiv. we saw an evacuation in sumy yesterday with more than 5000 making their way out to poltava, in the central part of ukraine, which, so far, has not seen much fighting. that is seen as a positive breakthrough. it is a difficult decision for people to make. all the while more cities are falling under siege, surrounded by russian forces, which is the concern by military

chiefs because they are trying to connect troops, from the north. we are seeing a lot of fighting in the west of kyiv, in a district where people have talked about being trapped in bomb shelters for 24—hour is with no food, water, light. it sounds like a desperate situation there, at odds with the centre of there, at odds with the centre of the city. but ukrainian military chiefs this morning are defiant and claiming the russian advance has been slowed, because of the resistance they are being met with in ukraine's key cities, which is why they are resorting to bombing and shelling residential areas and surrounding cities to try to force them into submission. but, of course, it is ukrainians getting trapped in the fighting, paying the tallest price in this war so far.

nevertheless, humanitarian efforts are continuing in this conflict. brute are continuing in this conflict. we heard rumbling in the background. was it the wind on your microphone or something more sinister? it is was it the wind on your microphone or something more sinister?- or something more sinister? it is a stranue or something more sinister? it is a strange question. _ or something more sinister? it is a strange question. two _ or something more sinister? it is a strange question. two weeks - or something more sinister? it is a strange question. two weeks ago i or something more sinister? it is a | strange question. two weeks ago it would be a strange question. it is the wind. it is —3 this morning and the wind. it is —3 this morning and the wind. it is —3 this morning and the wind drops that even further. but there were air raid sirens overnight. and a few minutes of intense explosions that could be heard further out of the city. this is the existence now for people in this country. you hear the sound of something, a rumble of something, and instantly think the worst. you only have to drive a few miles out of the city where you come across quite intense mortarfire, shelling, people trying to escape, tanks in the road. it is a reminder of what lies around the corner in an

invasion was not ok, there are claims it has been slowed, but it has not stopped.— claims it has been slowed, but it has not stopped. james waterhouse, sta safe. has not stopped. james waterhouse, stay safe- and _ has not stopped. james waterhouse, stay safe. and stay _ has not stopped. james waterhouse, stay safe. and stay warm _ has not stopped. james waterhouse, stay safe. and stay warm in - has not stopped. james waterhouse, stay safe. and stay warm in that - stay safe. and stay warm in that window. we will keep you up—to—date with the situation in ukraine this morning with correspondence in all the right places with the latest information. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. if you arejust stepping out, it is not as cold starters yesterday with temperatures 6-8, starters yesterday with temperatures 6—8, ten in the south—west, a hint of things to come. it will turn milder. not necessarily dry everywhere with rain coming into the west. heavy and persistent and slow moving through the day. we have a weather front across eastern areas continuing to break up. starting on a murky note but we should see

sunshine breaking through. in the outer hebrides, severe gales this morning could lead to disruption. through the day across scotland and northern ireland, the wind easing. but we still have gusty winds and temperatures ranging in the north from eight to about 13 in the south. overnight, this is the heavy rain by pushing south and east. weakening all the time. a lot of cloud. hill snow in scotland. fog in north—west scotland and northern ireland, where it will be cooler. pushing south across england and wales much milder. we have remnants of cloud and spots of rain. we will see brightness coming through. at the same time, showers coming up from the channel islands into the isle of wight, through dorset and pushing steadily northwards. temperatures

tomorrow 8—15. the average at this time is roughly 8—10 north to south. thank you. you will love story we have coming up with ernest shackleton's ship that sank. we have been following their adventures trying to find the wreckage. they have found it and we have pictures this morning. look this. stunning. they are amazed by the amazing condition it is in. it has been down there more than 100 years. the expedition set off in february and we spoke to dan snow. they were not sure they would find it. this morning, they have. as you can see from the incredible pictures so brilliantly preserved. 3000 metres below the icy surface of water. we will speak to dan snow later on the programme. and even more pictures coming up in 20 minutes. but now the news where you

are. good morning, i'm alice salfield. there are calls to rename the street where the russian embassy is based to zelensky avenue as a gesture of solidarity with ukraine. a liberal democrat mp wants the local council to rename kensington palace gardens after the ukrainian president. kensington and chelsea council said it was "horrified" by the plight of those caught up in the conflict and that, "it is actions rather than symbolism that they desperately need now". new images of the proposed hs2 station at euston have been released. the new station hall will be larger than trafalgar square, and it's scheduled to open sometime between 2029 and 2033. the controversial rail line is billions of pounds over budget and has seen numerous revisions. they were ground—breaking and provocative, and now you can go and see 20 of damien hirst�*s

formaldehyde works in the first dedicated exhibition of its kind. it features preserved animals like sheep, cows and sharks. if you've got the stomach for it, then they're on display from tomorrow at the gagosian gallery in kings cross. a hairdresserfrom peckham says she dreams of qualifying for next year's women's world cup. otesha charles, who plays her club football for gillingham, helped guyana win two world cup qualifiers last month and is hoping the south american country can cause a shock and make it all the way to the finals in australia and new zealand. i am so excited. i mean, like, we have a very good chance of qualifying in this round. to play in the world cup, i mean, that's, like, a dream for any footballer, female, male, it doesn't even matter. if you're using the tube this morning this is how things are looking. the metropolitan line is part suspended northbound from rickmansworth to amersham and chesham and there's an ongoing part closure

on the northern line until mid may. that takes us to the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning, it's not feeling as cold as yesterday morning. temperatures overnight in central london staying at 8—9c. frost—free this morning but we have more cloud. spots of rain, but that seems to have cleared. the cloud thinning and breaking this morning. a decent afternoon. plenty of sunshine. a breezy day, gusting 25—30 mph. temperatures milder, at 14 celsius in the sunshine. overnight, starting with clearer spells. gradually, the cloud increasing from the west. the chance of rain. still quite breezy overnight. minimum temperature 8—9c. another mild start tomorrow morning. we will see more cloud tomorrow. the front in the west is slow—moving but it means it will be a largely cloudy start. still some bright spells. glimpses of sunshine. the chance of one or two spots of rain tomorrow. temperatures still feeling mild, despite the breeze,

with a maximum of 14, potentially 15 celsius. as we head through friday, the chance of showers. one or two could be heavy and you might hear a rumble of thunder. dry on saturday but through the weekend it stays unsettled. i'm back in an hour. there's plenty more on our website though. see you soon. good morning, you're watching breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. let's get up to date with everything that has been happening overnight in ukraine. james reynolds is here to run through the details. thanks, jon and sally. plenty to run through, refugees, diplomacy and jets. let's look at ukraine. the bits in red are where russian forces are either in control or advancing. it's trying to link territory in the south and east, and preparing to try to take further

ground in the north. possibly trying to prepare for an assault on kyiv and a continuing assault on kyiv and a continuing assault on kyiv and a continuing assault on kharkiv. early this morning, there have been reports of air sirens in several ukrainian cities, including the capital kyiv. at this time the streets were largely empty. people know to take shelter. many are desperate to leave. russia has proposed a number of humanitarian corridors, basically escape routes for civilians. yesterday, as you can see here, there was a 12 hour ceasefire to allow several thousand people to flee the northern city of sumy in a convoy of buses. we understand there will be another convoy today in a ceasefire. russia is also proposing further routes in chernihiv, kharkiv, and in the southern city of mariupol. this last city has been

besieged and bombarded. many will only feel safe once they've left the country. more than two million ukrainians have done so. millions more could follow. most have ended up in poland. also in slovakia, hungary, moldova and romania. in the southern city of mariupol, these pictures are from a couple of days ago. the ukrainian red cross says that the whole city remains without electricity, water, food, and people are dying because of dehydration. it's almost impossible to think about. let's go back now to poland. poland isn'tjust hosting refugees. it's also suggesting ways to arm ukraine. it's offered to send all of its russian—made mig—29 fighterjets to a us airbase

in germany, as a launch pad for possible missions by ukrainian pilots. but the us is really reluctant to get drawn into this plan. it's really worried about doing anything that might lead to a direct war between its forces and russia. both sides of course have nuclear weapons. this morning we've heard that the russian and ukrainian foreign ministers are to hold talks in turkey, the highest level contact between the two sides since the war began. that's how things are looking this morning. we can speak now to the transport secretary, grant shapps. thank you forjoining us. can we start with visas? i know it is something a lot of our viewers have been asking about. how many visas have now been granted to ukrainians who wants to come and join their families here in the uk? 3�*6'5}.

government hasn't done enough quickly enough?— government hasn't done enough quickly enough? government hasn't done enough ruickl enou~h? ., ., , quickly enough? what i would say is, the scheme — quickly enough? what i would say is, the scheme that _ quickly enough? what i would say is, the scheme that has _ quickly enough? what i would say is, the scheme that has been _ quickly enough? what i would say is, the scheme that has been launched, | the scheme that has been launched, the scheme that has been launched, the primary scheme which is the extended family scheme, can bring up to 200,000 people here. which showed on that map a moment ago that the vast majority of people are actually closer to ukraine with i think i saw the figure there 210,000 people who have headed to what you might describe as western europe, and they would be heading to a wide varieties of different countries. we are going to have a second scheme which will be the sponsorship scheme, and i believe that will be without limits. the british people are being incredibly generous and as a country, no nation in the world has provided more humanitarian support, over £400 million as a government, and then all of the private donations as well on the top to ukraine. so the humanitarian support has been huge. i want to stress that president zelensky is saying to us, he wants people to stay closer to

ukraine so they can come back and assist in the rebuild, but that's not to say that we don't want to assist in every way possible which is why we have got a lot more of these applications and the spaces available, slots, so we can help the process a little quicker. the available, slots, so we can help the process a little quicker.— process a little quicker. the fact ofthe process a little quicker. the fact of the matter— process a little quicker. the fact of the matter is _ process a little quicker. the fact of the matter is that _ process a little quicker. the fact of the matter is that you - process a little quicker. the fact of the matter is that you have i process a little quicker. the fact i of the matter is that you have been warning about a mass migration crisis across europe for weeks now, since before christmas you are saying this could happen. and yet we still have confusion about where the evacuation points are going to be, where the visa points are going to be. is it paris, brussels, lille, calais, it's moving around, corrections in the house of commons. it looks like a situation, a process in crisis. $5 it looks like a situation, a process in crisis. �* , , .,, it looks like a situation, a process in crisis. �* , , ., , ., , , in crisis. as people move west, they are able to — in crisis. as people move west, they are able to get _ in crisis. as people move west, they are able to get their— in crisis. as people move west, they are able to get their applications - are able to get their applications and visas done in a number of different places, you have mentioned some of the cities, i actually checked what was happening in paris

appointments available to 6000 from just 800 per day. anyone seeing these pictures, we want to help, everyone wants to help. i think people can be proud of what britain has done providing more humanitarian aid than any other nation, and we do need to sort out whatever processing issues are there. we don't want to see people caught up with the kremlin gangs in calais and the like, we have got to keep this process separate because we don't want people traffickers to be the way people get caught up. very clear that we need to separate roots, incredibly generous schemes, 200,000 people can come through the family scheme, the sponsorship scheme might be unlimited so we will do everything we can to assist as a country. we have got a proud track record on this. most people won't know, with the hong kong chinese,

thatis providing is the number one askcan that is what we are doing, and they want to keep people is close by as possible and providing humanitarian aid is one way of doing that whilst of course providing a very welcome open arms. i know the british people have been incredibly generous in this when required. my family actually came from the same part of europe, all of them from different parts of eastern europe, generations ago, and this country was generous to my family. i know it will be generous to this current exodus. but we want people to be able to go back as well. in we want people to be able to go back as well. ., , ,., ., we want people to be able to go back as well. ., , ., , ., ., as well. in that personal situation, that family — as well. in that personal situation, that family situation _ as well. in that personal situation, that family situation you _ as well. in that personal situation, that family situation you find - that family situation you find yourself, when you hear people say that they cannot get an appointment, they are being shunted from pillar to post, from lille to brussels to paris, back to cali again to try and find an appointment, you must be embarrassed that the uk government has failed to act swiftly enough to get a process in place now. we want eve hinu get a process in place now. we want everything to _

get a process in place now. we want everything to worked _ get a process in place now. we want everything to worked smoothly, - everything to worked smoothly, absolutely. there are always lessons to be learned in these things. but you are dealing with a war situation. funnily enough, putin didn't put much consideration to what would happen to refugees out of this war, i don't suppose he cares about it very much. so there are a lot of very hard—working british diplomats, ngos, volunteers, people working with the british government on the ground organising this and trying to get things set up. with 6000 appointments per day available now, we should see the processing rate increase. i think people watching this this morning will be pleased to hear that it is the united kingdom making the world's biggest contribution to the humanitarian aid and that enables people settling here, but also as president zelensky has asked us to do, nearerto president zelensky has asked us to do, nearer to the borders of ukraine so they can go back and rebuild the country when the war is over. moving

still criticism that the uk government is just not tackling these oligarchs hard enough. eye alread on these oligarchs hard enough. ee: already on the very these oligarchs hard enough. e1:e: already on the very first day of this invasion, thursday two weeks ago, i banned aeroflot and commercial airlines, the following day i banned privatejets commercial airlines, the following day i banned private jets as well. so they are already not allowed. however there were potential loopholes a i also wanted to make theissue loopholes a i also wanted to make the issue a criminal one. so last night i also signed a law which also closes off those loopholes to do with trying to work out the ownership of some of these aircraft. there is one such aircraft on the ground at the moment at farnborough that i have essentially impounded well we carry out further investigations for the last two days. it's very important that we have the laws available to enable that to happen. we were the first country in the world to banned the russian aircraft in our airspace, we are the only country in the world to

have effectively had done the same with our ports so russian flagged or connected ports cannot come to our ports. i have spoken to my american and european counterparts to do the —— encourage them to do the same. so we have been at the front of many of these measures and we will be trying to do so continually because we want to do so continually because we want to try to squeeze putin. we need to float the stem of his income, his blood money, whether that comes from gas or oil or anything else that fundus his war machine and that is what we are trying to do.— fundus his war machine and that is what we are trying to do. thank you very much- — very much. the sport no, not going well in the cricket. yes, and mixed fortunes of the women and the men. good morning. if england are hoping for a succesful defence of their women's world cup

crown theirjob's been made significantly harder following a shock defeat to west indies this morning. it's their second defeat of the tournament and it came as a result of some costly mistakes in the field after west indies had set them 226 for victory. six decent chances went missing. england falling seven runs short. they won this title back in 2017, the top four teams go through so things far from over, but there's little room for error. they play south africa on monday. the men are hoping their test series with west indies will prove to be the reset they need after the ashes embarassment that led joe root to question whether he should carry on as captain. there was a familiar wobble from the new look team who were only saved on the opening day in antigua by somejonny bairstow brilliance who made a century as they finished on 268 for six. joe wilson is there. the sweetest of traditions, with covid considerations. you know where we are. this is definitely antigua, and not australia. and for england, anywhere is better than australia, right? well, they don't win very often in the caribbean either. alex lees on his england debut

lasted nine minutes. finger goes up! next, zak crawley, 17—2, good time to remember, england have won one series here since 1968. well, how about now? joe root undone by the outstanding kemar roach. yes, captain clean bowled. jonny bairstow led the recovery. this ground is open to the elements and the vaccinated tourists. england fans everywhere. ben foakes, sublime wicketkeeper but england have doubted his batting. well, he looked good here. foakes had scored 42 when the eternally accurate jason holder got him lbw. but bairstow, over ten years, all over the world, he's repeatedly reminded england of his worth. his eighth test match 100, in this time of restarts and resets, the value of experience. joe wilson, bbc news, in antigua. the premier league has suspended its broadcast deal with russia

following the invasion of ukraine. the move will take effect immediately, meaning tomorrow's four games won't be shown in the country. the fa's also suspended its agreement with russia, which means none of this month's fa cup quarterfinal matches will be shown there. messages of support continue to flood in for ukraine from the football community. in the champions league last night, liverpool lined up behind a peace banner before their match with inter milan at anfield. it's one they lost 1—0, their first defeat their in a year following a brilliant goal from lautaro martinez, but with a two—goal advantage from the first leg, they're through. along with the shows of solidarity, many in the sporting world going further. andy murray says he'll donate his prize money for the rest of the year to help children in the war—torn country. he says as a father the images of children suffering, he's found especially difficult to watch.

that's incredible, so his prize money for the rest of this year? so all of money for the rest of this year? ’sr all of the money for the rest of this year? 5r all of the tournament money for the rest of this year? 551 all of the tournament he is going to play in, indian wells is next, all of the money he gets, the entrance fees, and if he progresses welcome it could be a significant amount of money. and the premier league is going to donate £1 million, so a lot of people feeling very mooted to do what they can. of people feeling very mooted to do what they can-— of people feeling very mooted to do what they can. thank you very much indeed. what they can. thank you very much indeed- -- — what they can. thank you very much indeed. -- feeling _ what they can. thank you very much indeed. -- feeling very _ what they can. thank you very much indeed. -- feeling very moved - what they can. thank you very much indeed. -- feeling very moved to i what they can. thank you very much indeed. -- feeling very moved to do indeed. —— feeling very moved to do what they can. a mother has won a legal battle to try to get her teenage son a life—saving kidney transplant. medical experts agree that william verden will die without the operation, perhaps within a year. but his hospital said the procedure was too risky because of his autism and adhd. william's mum ami said her son deserved a chance, and yesterday she won that chance in a court of protection hearing. as jayne mccubbin reports, potential donors are already coming forward. without a new kidney, ami's son has perhaps 12 months left to live. i have no words.

but she has had to try and fight to save his life. because it means everything. yesterday, that fight ended up here in court, where a judge finally granted william the chance of a transplant. she said yeah. this is hope? it is, if you haven't got hope, you haven't got anything. william is 17. he loves golf, playing kirby, he's also autistic with adhd, and he has end stage renalfailure. his hospital agreed only a transplant could save his life, but it didn't agree that was on his best interests. so they sent the case to the court of protection to decide. and yesterday, came the ruling william's family so wanted. you've done it? i've done it. i love the judge today, absolutely love her. i hope that it will set a precedent for all the other cases alike, so a lot of people don't have to go

through what i've gone through because it's been six months of absolute hell. when we should have been spending time with him, more time. he loves jobs, he loves helping people. if he thinks he can help you, he'll be your best friend. for now, william is being cocooned away from publicity to protect him. but ami broke the news to his sister ruby in school. hi. she said yeah. did she? yeah! that's good. what does that mean, ruby? this is brilliant news, isn't it? he's going to have a better life, and live a long time. the bbc first interviewed ami in february, helping her to lift reporting restrictions so she could discuss her son's case. and watching that interview air was kim. and my son is also william, say. and that's why it struck a chord? yeah. she too has a son with adhd and autism and she is one of scores of people who came forward to become a potential donor for william. i think, when you're

a parent with a child with any additional need, you will be very familiar with the feeling of having to fight. because that is what you will spend so much of your time doing as a parent, is fighting. and herfight is unimaginable. you know, she's literally fighting for her son to have a chance to live, because he is neuro divergent. this is an incredibly sensitive case which has prompted a really important discussion. not only about william's care, but also about the wider issue of providing medical treatment to people with autism and learning disabilities. you shouldn't have to fight for it. nobody should have to fight for it. everybody is the same, you shouldn't bejudged on having a disability, it's wrong. in a statement, the hospital said it welcomes the clarity this ruling provides, and they will now be

liaising with william and his family regarding how best to progress his treatment. finding a donor could take many months the teenager doesn't have, but what they do have now is a chance. yeah, we've got hope now, yeah, definitely. this is what william wants, isn't it? yeah, he asks all the time. the judge said, his first question was, when am i getting a transplant? and he described the rules of kirby to her? he did. and she's never played it before. but she said he has the chance now? yeah, to keep playing kirby. long into the future. good luck, ami. thank you. good luck. thank you. good luck to william. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. grey skies? for some, yes. good forsome, yes. good morning, a murky start for some of us and about that for others, and wherever you are it

will be windy. at the moment there is severe gales, warning across the outer hebrides. that will ease only slowly through the day. we have some heavy rain here, pushing across. that band of rain also affecting northern ireland. the cloud ahead of it will build across cornwall with the rain into the isles of scilly. the cloud will break up with more sunshine coming through, across central and eastern areas, and wherever you are, it will be a blustery day. quite gusty especially through the afternoon. the winds will ease through northern ireland and western scotland. temperatures, seven in the north to 12 in the south. this band of rain pushes south. this band of rain pushes south and east, cold air cutting in behind it, there will be snow on the hills in scotland. we will see some fog forming in north—west scotland and northern ireland. cooler here,

but milder to become further south. overnight lows between eight and six degrees. we have a weather front draped across as producing some spots of rain tomorrow, brighter skies in the west and east but also some showers. coming up from the channel islands affecting dorset, hampshire, the midlands and northern england. but look at the temperature, much milder tomorrow. some parts of the east could see 14 or 15 degrees. the average at this time of year is eight to ten north to south. ican take i can take you somewhere and now much more colder than average! 15 much more colder than average! ii?» that an offer? much more colder than average! is that an offer? virtually! _ much more colder than average! is that an offer? virtually! it - much more colder than average! is that an offer? virtually! it is - much more colder than average! is that an offer? virtually! it is the i that an offer? virtually! it is the deep antarctic. _ that an offer? virtually! it is the deep antarctic. say _ that an offer? virtually! it is the deep antarctic. say no, - that an offer? virtually! it is the deep antarctic. say no, it - that an offer? virtually! it is the deep antarctic. say no, it is - that an offer? virtually! it is the deep antarctic. say no, it is too| deep antarctic. say no, it is too cold. as deep antarctic. say no, it is too cold- its hot _ deep antarctic. say no, it is too cold. as hot dates _ deep antarctic. say no, it is too cold. as hot dates go, - deep antarctic. say no, it is too cold. as hot dates go, this -

deep antarctic. say no, it is too cold. as hot dates go, this isn'ti cold. as hot dates go, this isn't one! we've got some incredible news to bring you this morning. it's about one of the most famous ships in the history of sea—faring, the endurance, which sank in antarctica in 1915 during a voyage led by sir ernest shackleton. you might have learned about it in school, your kids might be learning about it at the moment, so you might want to watch! it was thought to lost forever, and simply impossible to find. well, we can now tell you that it has been found, 3000 metres beneath the ice. and here's the even better news. she's in superb condition. our science editor rebecca morelle has been taking a look. emerging from the antarctic deep, the world's most famous undiscovered shipwreck now found. it is the first time anyone has seen it in more than 100 years. endurance, perfectly preserved, frozen in time, 3000 metres beneath the ice.

i knew that this was probably either the first or second most strongly built ice ship ever and i wasjust in awe of her construction. i thought if there was any wood built ship that could survive the impact of the sea bed, it would be the endurance. and she did, she held together beautifully. but i have never ever seen a wreck anything like this. as beautiful and inspiring as this one. the condition of sir ernest shackleton's ship is astonishing. the ship's wheel is almost pristine. bolts gleam in the woodwork. the portholes look polished. and these white circles are dinner plates abandoned by the crew. this was the polar ice breaker that brought the team to the wreck. the conditions were challenging. agulhas ii had to carve its way through the thick ice

in the weddell sea. underwater robots were deployed and spent weeks searching the deep until the endurance was at last found. probably the most famous as yet undiscovered shipwreck in the world and now we know exactly where it is, we know what it looks like, we know what condition it is in and we can broadcast images of that around the world. it matters because people will see those images and will connect to this extraordinary story from our history, the greatest story of antarctic survival of all time. and this was the ship just before it sank. captured on camera in footage that has been restored and released by the bfi. the endurance was in trouble from the start. becoming stuck in thick sea ice just weeks after setting off from south georgia. it drifted for months before an order was eventually given for the crew to abandon the ship. shackleton recounted the final

moments in his diary. sunday, 21st of november, 1915. she went today. at 4.50, saw the final dip. ran up to the lookout. at 5pm, she went down by the head. the stern, the cause of all the trouble, was the last to go underwater. i cannot write about it. sunday always seems to be the day on which things happen to us. the endurance expedition was amazingly well documented, with photographs, film and, crucially, navigation records, which were vital for locating the wreck beneath the ice. but what is extraordinary is it was found just four and a half miles, about seven kilometres, from the coordinates recorded on the day the ship sank more than 100 years ago. this was all down to frank worsley,

the ship's captain. using a sextant, the clock and the sun, he kept track of the ship's exact position with remarkable accuracy. frank worsley really needs to be recognised now even more than he was at the time as an expert navigator. the achievement is an amazing one and if you look at it from a retrospective view, he was using all the equipment at his disposal at the time and, clearly, because the ship has been found so close to that location, he did a brilliantjob. the discovery gives us a new link between the past and the present. the ship won't be raised and nothing will be removed. left exactly as it was found, resting in the darkness of this most remote corner of the world. wow! that's incredible. seen for the

first time in — wow! that's incredible. seen for the first time in more _ wow! that's incredible. seen for the first time in more than _ wow! that's incredible. seen for the first time in more than a _ wow! that's incredible. seen for the first time in more than a century. i the broadcaster and historian dan snow is on the ship which found the endurance. we'll be talking to him live from the weddell sea ataround 9.05am. we will show you those pictures again because they are amazing. stay with us, headlines coming up. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay.

our headlines today. both russia and ukraine say a ceasefire will operate today to let people leave cities inlcuding kyiv and mariupol. 5,000 people were sucessfully evacuated from the north—eastern city of sumy after russia agreed to pause its bombardment yesterday. it was so terrible, and my parents, i left my parents in sumy. i hope i will see them another time. the government says it has now processed 760 visas for people trying to gain access to the uk but in calais, there is confusion and great concern. the uk and us unite to ban russian oil, targeting the main artery of russia's economy. but will it do the job and what could it do to prices here? one of the greatest ever shipwrecks — the endurance — has been discovered 100 years after ernest shackleton's

ship sank off antarctia. and it's in near perfect condition. we'll catch up with dan snowjust after nine. it isa it is a blustery day with gusty winds, the strongest across the outer hebrides. slowly easing during the day. for many, dry with sunny spells and heavy rain in the west. all the details throughout the programme. it's wednesday the 9th of march. both russia and ukraine say a ceasefire will operate today to let people leave cities including kyiv and mariupol. chernihiv, sumy, kharkiv have also been promised temporary reprieve. it was due to start an hour ago. it follows the successful evacuation of 5,000 people from the north—eastern city of sumy yesterday. in the last few minutes,

it's been reported that ten people have died in a shooting in the eastern town of sievierodonetsk — which is not one of the ceasefire areas. james reynolds reports. sirens wail. early this morning air—raid sirens sounded in kyiv. the streets were largely empty. everyone left took shelter underground. for 12 hours, a ceasefirejust about held in the northern city of sumy, allowing 5000 civilians to escape into central ukraine. in this war, everyjourney involves risk and heartbreak. it was so terrible, and my parents — i left my parents in sumy. i hope i will see them another time. this is the are they were fleeing. the regional governor said a russian air strike on monday killed 22

people including children. nine people including children. nine people including children. nine people in one house were killed. russia promises further temporary ceasefires later today to allow evacuations from other cities, including chernihiv, kharkiv and also the besieged mariupol in the south. the exodus from the city of irpin, near the capital kyiv, is slow and agonising. more than 2 million civilians have now left the country. the united nations says more than 470 civilians have been killed in the invasion. the casualties include children. old enough to be scared, too young to understand why they are being bombarded. to fight the russian army, poland proposes sending its fighter jets to a us air force base in germany. but the us is cool to the offer. it does not want to provoke a direct fight between its forces and russia.

two powers each armed with nuclear weapons. so, instead, the us is focusing on cutting off russia. washington is now banning the import of russian oil. the uk says it will phase out russian oil imports by the end of the year, and the eu, which relies heavily on russian energy, plans to cut its use by two thirds. the sanctions are not enough, but do not listen to those who say sanctions do not matter. they already matter, they already matter for us. unfortunately, their effect is not that quick and swift as we would have expected, because every minute, every hour, a soldier or a civilian is dying in ukraine, while sanctions are discussed, then thought over, then slightly introduced. we need as strong sanctions as possible immediately. in the southern city of odesa, still controlled by ukraine, there are lighter moments. don't worry, be happy

plays the band. perhaps easier said than done. the capital kyiv puts up whatever defences it can build. the russian army is just miles away and this city can sense its approach. james reynolds, bbc news. kyiv correspondent james waterhouse joins us now. some tentative signs this morning of some progress, a temporary ceasefire, corridors for evacuation opening up. ceasefire, corridors for evacuation opening up-_ ceasefire, corridors for evacuation oenin: u. :, :, ., ., opening up. how do you read it from where ou opening up. how do you read it from where you are? _ opening up. how do you read it from where you are? i _ opening up. how do you read it from where you are? ithink— opening up. how do you read it from where you are? i think we _ opening up. how do you read it from where you are? i think we get - opening up. how do you read it from where you are? i think we get a - where you are? i think we get a sense of how manic it is for people when you have short—term announcements. there is not much notice. russia this morning

announced numerous humanitarian corridors. then we had in the past half hour ukraine's deputy prime minister confirmed the corridors. so we got more detail. over the past days, people have packed bags, had to get to the edge of the cities where they live, typically, in the hope they will make the buses on time. it is not clear where they were going to head. at least today, what we have learned is these key cities russia has announced pauses in fighting, mariupol, cities russia has announced pauses infighting, mariupol, kharkiv, sumy, chernihiv, and kyiv. we know these routes will take people to other parts of ukraine, which is a crucial detail given that earlier in the week, proposed routes would take people in some cases to belarus or russia which is a nonstarter for many ukrainians. so we know those routes will be in place until nine o'clock tonight. as you say, it is a

fragile route with moscow accused of shelling the roots people escape. so a nervy time. we will see how that hours ahead pan out. the united nations says more than two million people have now fled ukraine since the start of the russian invasion. the vast majority have moved into poland, with more than 1.2 million crossing over the border. others have gone to neighbouring countries such as romania, slovakia, hungary and moldova. around 210,000 are thought to have moved onto other parts of europe. in the last two weeks, the refugees have faced trauma, hunger, fear and fatigue. but — as lewis goodall reports — they have also been met with many acts of kindness along the way. all throughout europe, all through the day, all through the night, journeys of mercy are being made.

this german group of paramedics from frankfurt are making the 1250 mile journey to the polish border to use their ambulance bus to help provide medical care to ukraine's refugees. we call it in germany ambulance bus — so a big bus. you can take six people on the beds here and you can take medical care of them. like an emergency room. but the germans aren't the only samaritans on the road. indeed, the approach is full of people arriving. this crossing, and everything that goes with it, has ballooned, even even in the week since we first came here. this has become a village, albeit with no permanent inhabitants. just those on their way through,

trying to work out what comes next. a process even set to music. surreally, almost no item can't be found, donated or abandoned at this weird frontier. such is the demand on transport, the police have asked if the paramedics can drive families to the next town. the baby's name is lev. it means lion, which can hardly be more appropriate. all the children of this country are being forced to summon up courage beyond their years. what is your name? alisa victoria and my brother andrin. hi, my name's lewis. where have you come from in ukraine?

kharkiv. from kharkiv? yes. so very bad fighting in kharkiv? yeah, very bad. how long have you been travelling? how many days? two days. two days? yes. - very cold. this will be the end of the journey for few. most, including little lev, will have much further to go. and more courage to show. the morning train from the border to krakow, two hours to the west. it is yet more time spent, more energy expended. but as desperate as it feels here, and it does, you are neverfar from something to lift the spirits, a bit of heart to punctuate the poor. volunteers at each stop handing over food and water

at every carriage door. look at that. it's needed, all the supplies. that was full of bread 30 seconds ago. it is now completely empty. child cries. just look at this, just look at this. imagine new street station or euston station, king's cross station, manchester piccadilly station, like this. that is the scale of what this country is facing. where are you going now? you're from kharkiv. where are you going now? we go to germany. when you think of vladimir putin, what do you think? putin is terrorist number one. yes. terrorist number one? how old are you? iam17. you are 17. yes. i study in high school.

many here don't know where they are going. but some are luckier. 1.2 million have entered poland. and yet there are no refugee camps. that is because of people like kasia and marcin. poles who have taken in entire ukrainian families to their homes. a family of four has become seven. and to be clear, you do not know oksana? no. not at all. you never met her before? no. she came to stay with you. when did she arrive? last wednesday, ash wednesday. do you know others who have done it? yes. actually, we are surrounded by people who did this. our cousin who lives next door, yesterday he took a family of three, as well. do you have any idea how long this arrangement will last? no one does. so it is open—ended?

that is what i told her when i picked her up at the train station. i said, ok, you can stay with us as long as you need to. it isn't just the family thinking about the long—term. the polish authorities are seeking to integrate refugees at such speed, that within less than a week, oksana's kids have already been enrolled in a local school. in poland, we remember the second world war here and, for example, my grandfather, he was a soldier and i believe he survived because, at some point,

some stranger helped him as well. this war, like that war, is hell. but now, as then, in hell's embers, everywhere you look there is light. the best and worst of us. the uncomfortable thing, when you really sit and think about it, is that one has to flow from the other. humanity in all its shades. lewis goodalljoins us now from krakow. lewis, you saw many acts of kindness in poland. is the country ready to host these ukrainians in the long—term? i think that is a question all polish politicians and the public are asking. as you saw, the scale of generosity has been extraordinary from a country that must be said in the past, in previous refugee crises, has not been known for the

depth of its generosity but in this case it seemingly knows no bounds. it is the case also we do not know how great these numbers might swell. 2 million at the moment, 1.2 million here. i suspect we may get an update later today and it will swell further. just as we left, to the family i asked, how much more do you think poland will be able to absorb? he said i think at some point, we simply will not be able to absorb the numbers being talked about. 2 million, 3 million, 4 million, depending on how long the war goes on. we have heard about the humanitarian corridors and if they hold, that will cause greater numbers to come over the border. i cannot tell you the number i have spoken to who say i am here, but my aunt and spoken to who say i am here, but my auntand uncle, spoken to who say i am here, but my aunt and uncle, my brother, my sister are stuck behind because they left it a day, half a day and it is too late and they are trapped. if

the corridors hold, we will see greater numbers. the other scary thing is this. it is snowing here. two hours from the border. over the next couple of days, the temperatures are forecast to plummet to —8, perhaps —10. people are travelling overnight with kids, 50% of the refugees estimated to be children. they are queueing for many hours. that humanitarian situation, already grave, could become worse still. , ., «1 , :, what are we doing to help ukrainian refugees. questions about the number of visas granted. only 760 so far. we can go to calais. john is there with people who want to come this way.

good morning. it has been a difficult few days for people who came to calais, people who already have family in the uk and are aware they should in theory be able to get a visa but there have been delays with the last couple of days chaotic and confusing when people pushed from pillar to post. they have had to do a lot of travelling around as they have been sent to different areas. good morning. your visa process is going through. let's start with that. what is happening? you hope to get to the uk as soon as ossible? , ~ you hope to get to the uk as soon as ossible? , . .., you hope to get to the uk as soon as ossible? , . :. ., , possible? yes. we came here last friday and — possible? yes. we came here last friday and we _ possible? yes. we came here last friday and we were _ possible? yes. we came here last friday and we were travelling - possible? yes. we came here last friday and we were travelling to i friday and we were travelling to romania and stayed there three days to get on the bus because there was no transport. and then we came here. we did not know that we needed a visa so they said to stay here and

of those caught up in the conflict and that "it is actions rather than symbolism that they desperately need now". new images of the proposed hs2 station at euston have been released. the station hall will be larger than trafalgar square, and it's scheduled to open sometime between 2029 and 2033. the controversial rail line is billions of pounds over budget and has seen numerous revisions. they were ground—breaking and provocative, and now you can see 20 of damien hirst�*s formaldehyde works in the first dedicated exhibition of its kind. it features preserved animals like cows, sheep and sharks. if you've got the stomach for it, they're on display from tomorrow at the gagosian gallery in king's cross. a hairdresserfrom peckham says she dreams of qualifying for next year's women's world cup. otesha charles, who plays her club football for gillingham, helped guyana win two world cup qualifiers last month and is hoping the south american country can cause a shock and make it all the way to the finals.

i am so excited. i mean, like, we have a very good chance of qualifying in this round. to play in the world cup, i mean, that's, like, a dream for any footballer, female, male, it doesn't even matter. if you're using the tube this morning this is how things are looking. the metropolitan line is part suspended from rickmansworth to amersham and chesham and there's an ongoing part closure on the northern line until mid may. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning, it's not feeling as cold as yesterday morning. temperatures overnight in central london staying at 8—9c. frost—free this morning but we have more cloud. spots of rain, but that seems to have cleared. the cloud thinning and breaking this morning. a decent afternoon. plenty of sunshine. a breezy day, gusting 25—30 mph.

temperatures milder, at 1a celsius in the sunshine. overnight, starting with clearer spells. gradually, the cloud increasing from the west. the chance of rain. still quite breezy overnight. minimum temperature 8—9c. another mild start tomorrow morning. we will see more cloud tomorrow. the front in the west is slow—moving but it means it will be a largely cloudy start. still some bright spells. glimpses of sunshine. the chance of one or two spots of rain tomorrow. temperatures still feeling mild, despite the breeze, with a maximum of 14, potentially 15 celsius. as we head through friday, the chance of showers. one or two could be heavy and you might hear a rumble of thunder. dry on saturday but through the weekend it stays unsettled. i'm back atjust after 9am. there's plenty more on our website though. now here's sally and jon.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. let's get up to date with everything that has been happening overnight in ukraine. james reynolds is here to run through the details. thanks, jon and sally. it has been a busy few hours. this is how things are looking as the 14th day of the russian invasion begins. the bits in red are where russian forces are either in control or advancing. it's trying to link territory in the south and east, and preparing to try to take further ground in the north. it will be trying to attack kyiv and continuing to attack kharkiv, we believe. the uk government's latest dispatch on the war, which has just come out, states that ukraine's air defences have "enjoyed considerable success" against russian aircraft. early this morning, there have been reports of air sirens in several ukrainian cities, including the capital kyiv. at this time the streets were largely empty. many of those people would have been

inside already, some people have gone, other people are sheltering in metro stations and basements. many are desperate to leave. russia has proposed a number of humanitarian corridors, basically escape routes for civilians. we've seen reports this morning that ukraine has accepted that proposal and agreed to stop firing in some areas. yesterday, as you can see here, there was a 12 hour ceasefire to allow several thousand people to flee the northern city of sumy in a convoy of buses. that evacuation will continue today, russia is also proposing further routes in chernihiv, kharkiv and mariupol. these pictures are from a couple of days ago. the weather is terrible there. this city has been besieged and bombarded. the ukrainian red cross says that the whole city remains without electricity, water, food, and people are dying because of dehydration. many will only feel safe once

they've left the country. most have ended up in poland. moldova, romania and hungary, and others have tried to push further west. earlier the transport secretary grant shapps told us that 760 visas have so far been granted to ukrainians seeking tojoin family in the uk and that 22,000 applications had been made. anyone who has seen the pictures on television, our heart goes out, we want to support, we are doing that with close coordination with president zelensky and ukrainian government who wants to broadly speaking keep people as close to ukraine as possible. but we have got some very large visa schemes coming into place with very large numbers. and people would expect us to make sure that we know exactly who is coming to the country, which is why the process takes a little bit of time. just a quick update on diplomacy.

this morning we've heard that the russian and ukrainian foreign ministers are to hold talks in turkey, the highest level contact between the two sides since the war began. that's how things are looking this morning. it isa it is a fast situation, thank you. yesterday we heard those stirring words from the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky as he addressed the house of commons by video link. he invoked the spirit of winston churchill as he vowed to fight on until the end. today we can hear from his wife, the first lady olena zelenska. she's released a letter addressed to the global community, in which she relays the horrors of war, particularly for women and children. she also names some child casualties of the war so far, including polina, the io—year—old girl who was shot dead in kyiv, along with her parents and her five—year—old brother. the first lady writes: "when russia says that it is 'not waging war against civilians,�* i call out the names of these murdered children first".

she also repeats the calls of her husband, president zelensky, for western nations to declare a no—fly zone, saying "close the sky and we will manage the war on the ground ourselves". president zelensky referred to that yesterday in his speech to parliament. we are waiting to hear in the next few hours about polish fighterjets and how they might or might not be transferred to america or germany and then the ukrainian military. so an awful lot happening in the sky is potentially over ukraine over the next few hours. the uk and us governments have announced an import ban on russian oil. nina's here to explain what impact that could have. hearing those humanitarian horrors, lots of western leaders asking what pressure they can apply, so pressure on the economy is the sort of thing they are doing.

is it going to hit putin where it hurts? that's the multi—billion pound question. the prime minister has said probably not immediately but it does pile on pressure. oil is a huge part of the russian economy. it's the world's third largest oil producer, producing 11 million barrels a day — about half is sold around the world. but not in the us any more — as russian oil, gas and coal will no longer be welcome at american ports. it's big news — but when you considerjust 8% of us fuel imports come from russia — how big? the uk is also banning imports of russian oil. but not until the end of the year, and there isn't a ban on gas. and seeing as we don't use russian petrol, and just 18% of our diesel is russian — again there are questions over the impact, with some arguing this measure will only serve to drive up prices here. this morning we've learned that motorists in parts of cumbria already paying £1.80 a litre — maybe that's something you're seeing too. what would be significant for the russian economy is if the eu banned imports.

more than half of the crude oil that russia exports goes there. but that would have a monumental impact on life in the eu which relies on russia for a third of its energy. they have pledged to reduce demand for russian gas by two thirds before the end of the year, and hope to be independent by 2030. one commentator said this is a bit like trying to take eggs out of a cooked omelette. hard and messy. one thing all western leaders are facing is criticism for not applying enough economic pressure sooner. something the business secretary disputes. if we had announced a ban - immediately, that would have had a really serious impact on prices. i think this phased approach strikesl a good balance between eliminating reliance on russian oil, - but also allowing people time, and people in the market, - to adapt to the new situation. so what will the impact be of all of this? let's speak to energy analyst michelle bockmann.

good morning. if the business secretary right, have they struck the right balance or too little too late? ~ ., ., the right balance or too little too late? . ., ., ., “ late? well, good morning. i think that the pressure _ late? well, good morning. i think that the pressure that _ late? well, good morning. i think that the pressure that the - late? well, good morning. i think that the pressure that the globall that the pressure that the global energy market is under now is going to be felt worldwide. the uk cannot insulate itself from this a normal global recalibration of the oil and gas markets. and the oil price is going to be connected to the extent to which oil is removed, russian oil is removed from the market. even though the uk imports only a small amount of oil, it is going to be competing with other countries for supplies of oil now and the prices are probably going to break new records as the implications of these coordinated bans on russian crude from the us and the uk we calibrate through the market. find from the us and the uk we calibrate through the market.— through the market. and we have

already had _ through the market. and we have already had this _ through the market. and we have already had this morning, - through the market. and we have already had this morning, £1 - through the market. and we have already had this morning, £1 80 l through the market. and we have| already had this morning, £1 80 at already had this morning, £180 at some pumps, is that going to go further? it some pumps, is that going to go further? , , ., ., ., ., further? it depends on a lot of factors, geopolitical— further? it depends on a lot of factors, geopolitical factors i factors, geopoliticalfactors outside the control of consumers in the uk government, whether or not oil producers like saudi arabia and the united arab emirates will add to production. there are currently us sanctions on iranian and venezuelan crude, if these are lifted, that is going to raise available supply. and the oil markets are already rebalancing after a lot of production cuts that were made in response to the pandemic. so there is an additional degree of difficulty. so you have all of that at play. plus also you have to remember that the uk is an importer of diesel, refiners do not make enough diesel to meet demand. so not only do you have to find alternative

sources, you are going to be competing with others and that is going to lift prices as well. to mi . ht going to lift prices as well. to might argue it would all be worth it if it meant this war ended, —— some might argue this. but historically someone like putin who has not demonstrated a vast amount of concern for collateral damage from his measures, will it actually works? it his measures, will it actually works? , ., works? it will depend on the degree of self sanctioning _ works? it will depend on the degree of self sanctioning we _ works? it will depend on the degree of self sanctioning we have - works? it will depend on the degree of self sanctioning we have seen - works? it will depend on the degree of self sanctioning we have seen in l of self sanctioning we have seen in the oil markets. the company shall is not buying russian cargoes, shell, and the degree to which russian oil is removed from the market will put pressure on the putin government. but his reactions cannot be forecast it is an extraordinary time for the oil and gas commodities market. and gas commodities market. and volatility is — gas commodities market. and volatility is what _ gas commodities market. and volatility is what markets do not like and it adds to inflationary

pressure. mcdonald's, starbucks and coca—cola are among the global brands shutting up shop in russia, it could work but it could also say to the people of russia, putin is right, everybody is ganging up against us, so we don't know what is happening next. the three things i am coming back to, inflation, inflation, inflation.— am coming back to, inflation, inflation, inflation. when you are t in: to inflation, inflation. when you are trying to distract _ inflation, inflation. when you are trying to distract your _ inflation, inflation. when you are trying to distract your kids - inflation, inflation. when you are trying to distract your kids from i trying to distract your kids from what is going on in the world at the moment, are you still encanto fans? yes, it is the only film i kids will watch from start to finish and so i know every single word of all of the songs. the songs are brilliant and the messaging of the film is really good as well. we'll be joined with us on who has a very special connection to the film soon, stay with us. but first, let's get the weather. potential changes this week?

yes, it is going to be much milder thanit yes, it is going to be much milder than it has been this week, temperatures into double figures today. today it is wet in the west and windiest here as well, particularly the outer hebrides with severe gales. sunny spells in the east. the rain is particularly heavy in the west highlands in the moment and it extends through the northern ireland getting in through the isles of scilly and cornwall and devon, it will clear northern ireland eventually and western scotland. the wind here will also ease. these represent the gust strengths so wherever you are it will be windy. we start with cloud across england and wales before the outbreak of rain, the cloud is thinning and breaking before sunshine develops, temperatures eight to 13 degrees. this evening and overnight, the weather front producing the cloud and rain passes, some fog forming across north—west parts, and temperature wise not as cold as it

has been in some areas. but where it is come further south, overnight lows of nine. tomorrow night the weather front is fading but producing some cloud and rain and also some showers coming up from the channel islands moving north through the day. temperatures tomorrow, we could see prolonged sunshine and 15 degrees. thank you very much. there is excitement in nina's household last —— right now! we're going to catch up now with a couple of people we spoke to on breakfast a month ago. one of them was jared bush, the director of the disney film, encanto, which has picked up multiple award nominations. he's in los angeles. good morning, how are you?
