as we go through the day. very areas as we go through the day. very strong winds, northern and eastern areas particularly but some of the ring can be quite heavy in the south and west as it pushes north. some of that will reach east anglia and the south—east. fairly mild again, not quite as mild on friday as thursday and this afternoon. a deep area of low pressure could affect the south—west of the uk into friday night and saturday, showers. we'll hold onto that unsettled theme into sunday. perhaps signs of something a bit chilly are pushing in from the west as we go through sunday and into the start of next week. it's looking fairly unsettled as we head into the weekend. a reminder of our main story. ukraine says russia has bombed a maternity and children's hospital in the southern port city of mariupol.

17 staff and women in labour were injured in the blast which happened when a ceasefire was supposed to be in place. the ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky called the attack an atrocity. there is a question time special on the situation in ukraine and that is at 8pm tonight on bbc one. dojoin fiona bruce and her panel for that. now on bbc one time for the news where you are. goodbye.

hello. this is bbc news. russian forces have bombed a children's and maternity hospital in mariupol. these are the pictures

verified by bbc officials. 17 people, including women in labour, were injured. elsewhere you enter country ceasefires did hold. this map shows the areas — here in solid red — which are under russian military control. the striped areas show russian advances. the humanitarian routes have been set up around sumy, near kyiv, chernihiv, harkiv and mariupol. kharkiv and mariupol. the un saying more than two million people have now fled ukraine. streets in the southern ports are said to be lined with bodies. people are running out of food there. the international committee of the red cross has described the situation on the ground in mariupol as apocalyptic. this is a city where people are going without the very basics of survival, no food, no water, no heat. the temperatures are freezing. no electricity. and they desperately need humanitarian assistance and they also need safe passage out of the city if they want to leave. it's just incredibly dire.

already soared in recent weeks, but the warning now is that those prices could go even higher. i'm joined now by an energy analyst at an energy firm based in stockholm. these are massive movements that we are seeing in the prices of energy and commodities. i know you don't have a crystal ball, but where it might prices go from here? it is prices go from here? it is impossible _ prices go from here? it is impossible to _ prices go from here? it is impossible to say, - prices go from here? it is. impossible to say, frankly. prices go from here? it is impossible to say, frankly. the cost is not _ impossible to say, frankly. the cost is not really — impossible to say, frankly. the cost is not really a market issue, you can't _ is not really a market issue, you can't calculate it. it's about what's _ can't calculate it. it's about what's happening on a battlefield, political— what's happening on a battlefield, political decisions, sanctions, etc. it is political decisions, sanctions, etc. it is really— political decisions, sanctions, etc. it is really a — political decisions, sanctions, etc. it is really a fog of war that markets _ it is really a fog of war that markets have to pass through. clearly. — markets have to pass through. clearly, we are on our way upwards because _ clearly, we are on our way upwards because there are big dislocations coming _ because there are big dislocations coming in — because there are big dislocations coming in the market. as you said, you can _ coming in the market. as you said, you caniust— coming in the market. as you said, you canjust cut coming in the market. as you said, you can just cut out

long—term consequences for the rest of the world, notjust long—term consequences for the rest of the world, not just as long—term consequences for the rest of the world, notjust as in europe. that is all from us for now. i will be back with the paper review at 10:30pm and 1130. now, it's time to join the team for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'mjane i'm jane the goal. but it looks as though we have an intriguing test much going on in antigua. the west indies are currently 127—3, after england finished their first three innings on 311. that was after a great knock byjonny bairstow, he had a huge 1&0, helping england pass

300 for the first time in a 13 test innings. joe wilson sent this report from antiguia. the cricket ground is definitely this way. the outskirts, rural antigua. many had other commitments. fast bowlerjayden seales took his wicket for the west indies in front of a uk crowd. it did rain briefly. seales is just 20. he showed his ability. brave catch and craig overton was out for nought. jonny bairstow had made 1&0 when he finally offered this chance to jason holder, 67" at full extension there. 311 all out. so, england's turn to bowl, and every women, man and creature on the planet knows what that means — stuart broad and james anderson. well, not now. not here. england opened the bowling with woakes and overton, and the batters enjoyed them. in quick time, west indies were past 50 and looking like this match was that opportunity. so, john campbell could barely believe his dismissal. 83—1, and england and

overton had something. mark wood and ben stokes added energy. when the third wicket fell, england were finally warming up. as we were hearing from joel wilson, there was another cat that went in there was another cat that went in the cricket. jermaine blackwood was bowled by chris fawkes. meanwhile, england women's captain heather knight says there's �*no way�* her side are out of the women's cricket world cup, despite losing their opening two matches. the holders were beaten by seven runs by the west indies last night. a sloppy performance with the ball allowed the windies to make 225 from their 50 overs. and england lost opener lauren winfield—hill early, thanks to this incredible catch by deandra dottin. the reigning champions were bowled out with two and a half overs to spare, and now have little margin for error if they're to make the semifinals. england women won the title in 2017, so, while a narrow defeat,

the loss did come as a bit of a surprise. our reporter, henry moeran, watched the disappointing performance in dunedin, alongside former england bowler alex hartley. it was widely expected that england would lose their tournament opener against australia, but to lose against australia, but to lose against west indies, a side they have never lost was a real shock. alex hartley was part of the england side that won the tournament in 2017. we have seen a real shock today? is 2017. we have seen a real shock toda ?�* . 2017. we have seen a real shock toda? . ., today? a real disappointment from encland, today? a real disappointment from england. not _ today? a real disappointment from england. not at— today? a real disappointment from england, not at their _ today? a real disappointment from england, not at their best - england, not at their best throughout this competition. they just can't seem to piece things together. just can't seem to piece things to . ether. ~ ., just can't seem to piece things touether. ~ . ., , , ., ., together. what has been going wrong with the side? — together. what has been going wrong with the side? in _ together. what has been going wrong with the side? in the _ together. what has been going wrong with the side? in the first _ together. what has been going wrong with the side? in the first game - together. what has been going wrong with the side? in the first game it - with the side? in the first game it was the bowling _ with the side? in the first game it was the bowling unit, _ with the side? in the first game it was the bowling unit, they - with the side? in the first game it was the bowling unit, they were l with the side? in the first game it l was the bowling unit, they were too expensive. there isjust no bawling partnerships. today there were dropped catches, five of them, quite

so their medal chances are over. meanwhile, hope gordon has made history by becoming paralympics gb's first female para—nordic skier. gordon, who's also a para—canoeist and para—swimmer, only took up the event six months ago. she finished 17th in qualifying in the women's sprint event, with the top 12 going through to the semi—finals. to football — and there's a big match in the champions league later, with paris saint—germain going into their second leg against real madrid 1—0 up. in the other game, manchester city take a 5—0 lead into their home leg against sporting lisbon. back at the bernabeu, kylian mbappe is expected to play, despite taking a knock in training, but sergio ramos has been ruled out of facing his former club. ian dennis is there for us with jonathan woodgate. the bernabeu here is under construction, and what is also

building is the atmosphere. some three hours before kick—off, the real madrid supporters have been making a real racket, and i'm not surprised because this is a mouthwatering occasion. two heavyweights, and one of them is going to fall in the champions league competition for the season, either paris saint—germain or real madrid. no man beside me isjonathan woodgate. you have experience champions league 98 at the bernabeu. what is it like? the champions league 98 at the bernabeu. what is it like?— what is it like? the atmosphere is alwa s what is it like? the atmosphere is always class. _ what is it like? the atmosphere is always class. it — what is it like? the atmosphere is always class, it is _ what is it like? the atmosphere is always class, it is what _ what is it like? the atmosphere is always class, it is what their i what is it like? the atmosphere is always class, it is what their fans | always class, it is what their fans really love, champions league nights, that is what really matters to this club. the atmosphere will be tremendous, it will be full, they will want to be entertained and i'm sure they will get it. aha, will want to be entertained and i'm sure they will get it.— sure they will get it. a fascinating contest. kylian _ sure they will get it. a fascinating contest. kylian mbappe, - sure they will get it. a fascinating contest. kylian mbappe, three i sure they will get it. a fascinating i contest. kylian mbappe, three weeks ago a moment of inspiration, psg have a 1—0 lead, but it will be a very tight second leg. you have a 1-0 lead, but it will be a

the us in that you need proof of your covid vaccination to enter the country. we know it novak djokovic's position on that. —— the rules are very strict. he has not removed himself from the entry list, which is why he is in earliest days you would have to play is saturday, so i'm thinking he is perhapsjust keeping his options open until the very last minute, hoping that america's rules will change, that he will be able to fly out and take his place in the draw at indian wells. but if he pulls out and unbalances the draw, it will annoy a few people. it seems spectacularly poor pr given what happened in australia. you have also been speaking to andy murray about his very generous pledge? he murray about his very generous ledue? , ., murray about his very generous ”lede? , ., ., murray about his very generous ledue? , ., ., ., ., , pledge? he is going to donate his rize pledge? he is going to donate his prize money _ pledge? he is going to donate his prize money for— pledge? he is going to donate his prize money for the _ pledge? he is going to donate his prize money for the rest - pledge? he is going to donate his prize money for the rest of - pledge? he is going to donate his prize money for the rest of the i pledge? he is going to donate his i prize money for the rest of the year to unicef�*s appeal to help the children of ukraine. he is a uk ambassadorfor the children of ukraine. he is a uk ambassador for the charity, and children of ukraine. he is a uk ambassadorfor the charity, and he

and he said he was moved to do something about having seen the pictures of children suffering on television, which he described as a brittle. i also asked him if he felt tennis was handily wore a brittle. i also asked him if he felt tennis was handling the war in ukraine the right way. at the moment, compete in team competitions for the country, they are not allowed to play under their flag they are not allowed to play under theirflag in individual events, but they are allowed to play. it is not their fault... they are allowed to play. it is not theirfault... he said it was they are allowed to play. it is not their fault... he said it was a very difficult question to answer. he said he thought i was down to governance if they wanted to make that call. let's take a look at some of the other sports news stories making the headlines today. england netball captain serena guthrie has retired from the sport after announcing she is pregnant. guthrie, who was expected to captain the roses at the commonwealth games later this year, won 110 caps and played

in formula 1, haas has confirmed kevin that magnusson will return not to race. leicester's jamie vardy will be out for at least a few weeks with a knee injury, according to his manager, brendan rogers. the club's joint top scorer was just coming back to full fitness after a hamstring issue, but took a knock during their victory over leeds at the weekend. england women will play the defending european champions, the netherlands, in a warm—up match at elland road before the home tournament begins this summer. england manger sarina wiegman won the 2017 euros with her home country, the netherlands. the lionesses will also take on belgium injune at molinuex. now, the fastest growing sport in britain is women and girls�* football. but despite that, only 63% of schools in england offer girls�* football in pe, and only &0% of schools offer
