ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky has accused russia of committing a war crime by bombing a maternity and children's hospital in the besieged city of mariupol. a regional governor said at least 17 people had been injured. global condemnation followed that air strike. ukrainian officials say many people have been killed since russia began its bombardment. in the north east of ukraine, in the city of sumy, thousands of civilians are escaping to relative safety after the russians agreed to a humanitarian route. some 7,000 people were evacuated from the city yesterday. and heineken has become the latest big brand to suspend operations in russia in protest at the war, following in the footsteps of mcdonalds, coca—cola, and pepsi. those are the headlines.

hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the author and journalist, yasmin alibhai—brown, and malcolm chalmers, deputy director, rusi — the royal united services institute. let's bring you up—to—date with the front pages at home. the mirror says there is outrage after a ukrainian children's hospital was destroyed in a russian air strike. the i also leads with news of that attack in mariupol. it says wounded mothers were stretchered out of the blast zone. "an atrocitity" — that's how ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky described the attack, according to the guardian. the financial times also leads with volodymyr zelensky�*s comments. it says the ukrainian president is pleading for the world to help. the daily mail says borisjohnson

has condemned the bombing of the children's hospital, and promised to hold vladmir putin to account. and the telegraph reports that there are fears vladimir putin could use chemical weapons next. malcolm, do you want to kick us off? yes, the son has the same story as most of the papers, the new death in which this war has descended, and we are only two weeks in and i fear it's going to get worse in the weeks to come. it's partly a sign of the russian failure to make the progress they expected to do. they thought

they expected to do. they thought they would achieve so much in the first few weeks and the ukrainian resistance would crumble, and that has failed and they are now doubling down as they have done elsewhere in the world, i'm afraid, to besieging urban areas and using terror as a tactic. that involves attacking civilian infrastructure and hospitals. it is something we've seen before from russia and its support for president assad in syria and elsewhere, in chechnya on its own territories. it's frustrating for those looking on the outside wondering if something can be done. but i think it also reflects a failure of president putin — it's much easier to start wars then and wars, and ifearthis is a much easier to start wars then and wars, and ifear this is a conflict that will go on for some time to

come. ., ., �* , that will go on for some time to come. ., .,�* , ., come. you don't use resources unnecessarily. _ come. you don't use resources unnecessarily, so _ come. you don't use resources unnecessarily, so the - come. you don't use resources unnecessarily, so the progress| come. you don't use resources - unnecessarily, so the progress has not been as effective as he might hoped. can you characterise why people may be worried about things like chernobyl�*s power supply at not including reaching the uk. so that's a real concern, ithink including reaching the uk. so that's a real concern, i think there are actually bigger concerns in relation to ukraine's working nuclear power stations where you have to keep those power stations provided with electricity and their own power supplies, oryou electricity and their own power supplies, or you face a release of

radiation may be not on the scale of chernobyl, but nonetheless a real concern. and it's yet another indication that although this war is happening in ukraine, its potential spill—over could affect the much wider area, and that's a great example of that. i’m wider area, and that's a great example of that.— wider area, and that's a great examle of that. �* , , , example of that. i'm sure the sheep farmers of north _ example of that. i'm sure the sheep farmers of north wales _ example of that. i'm sure the sheep farmers of north wales would - example of that. i'm sure the sheep farmers of north wales would echo | farmers of north wales would echo that, given they were unable to sell their land for a long time because of concerns about that. aiming at mothers and babies, the times puts it incredibly succinctly and with that very powerful photograph — in some ways it's even more powerful, others are more close up, but this

one is a woman at her most vulnerable, a heavily pregnant woman having to be carried to safety by five men, one of whom is in a helmet to protect him from shrapnel. it’s to protect him from shrapnel. it's the same woman in different photographs, that's really interesting. she's become an overnight — acquired overnight infamy, — overnight — acquired overnight infamy, which she wouldn't want. or monsters_ infamy, which she wouldn't want. or monsters like putin and assad, this is how— monsters like putin and assad, this is how they— monsters like putin and assad, this is how they work, you go after the most _ is how they work, you go after the most vulnerable people, civilian targets— most vulnerable people, civilian targets and really terrorise the population. —— war monsters. but i am so _ population. —— war monsters. but i am so impressed with the ukrainians, all these _ am so impressed with the ukrainians, all these ukrainians from the world over are rushing over to fight from comfortable lives they are living in the us— comfortable lives they are living in the us or— comfortable lives they are living in the us or wherever. but the thing we hevenl— the us or wherever. but the thing we haven't talked about, and i didn't

inside buildings, multistory buildings, it is very effective in destroying a wide area. so it's a pretty devastating weapon, and there are reports that the uk is saying they're beginning to use them. we know certainly that they are deploying their systems. sorry to interru t, deploying their systems. sorry to interrupt. but _ deploying their systems. sorry to interrupt, but people _ deploying their systems. sorry to interrupt, but people at - deploying their systems. sorry to interrupt, but people at home . deploying their systems. sorry to l interrupt, but people at home who are just seeing as a photograph we have, we see it mounted on top of the tank. you don't need to have aircraft flying over a city to deploy these, these can be ground missiles that you can fire directly at buildings in built—up areas so i feel absolutely, at buildings in built—up areas so i feelabsolutely, most at buildings in built—up areas so i feel absolutely, most of the bombing of cities is through artillery, through missiles and weapons such as this, aircraft play a role but they don't play a dominant role in bombing. and in that regard, a

no—fly zone would stop the siege of cities, but it would not stay on it. back to the hospital, that woman on a stretcher, so recognisable at least because of the plastic sheet on the device which she's being carried on — we have this quote from president zelensky, how much longer can they ignore us? you have the power, you seem to be losing humanity. he says the west has the power, but does it really, short of deploying nato troops into ukraine? that's the power that could stop it presumably, but as we discussed in the last hour, the risk of spreading this for over a much bigger area. i'm not a warmonger. i opposed the war in_ i'm not a warmonger. i opposed the war in iraq, — i'm not a warmonger. i opposed the war in iraq, i've opposed all my life. _ war in iraq, i've opposed all my life. lrut— war in iraq, i've opposed all my life. but i— war in iraq, i've opposed all my life, but i think you have to now

reported numbers were more than 20,000 in anti—tank missile launchers, anti—aircraft weapons, lots of small arms, and indeed although obviously kept on a pretty secret basis, lots of reports that the us and others are providing a lot of intelligence to the ukrainians to allow them to locate what the russians are doing, which will be highly valuable. and of course in the lead up to the war, quite a lot of personnel from the uk and others who are helping to train ukrainian forces. so i think there is quite a lot being done on the military side to help ukrainians, but what they are also trying to do is do that in a way which minimizes, it doesn't take away all together, but minimizes the possibility that it will provide a trigger for much wider conflict — which ukraine would not benefit from a widening of this conflict. the last thing i would say

is that the fundamental role of nato is that the fundamental role of nato is to provide a very strong security guarantee for its members, and if russia were after this war to threaten poland or romania, or the baltic states, than the united kingdom, the us, all nato members would then be very likely at war with russia. but ukraine is not a member state... with russia. but ukraine is not a member state. . ._ member state... that is the difficulty. — member state... that is the difficulty. - _ member state... that is the difficulty, - that _ member state... that is the difficulty, - that means - member state... that is the difficulty, - that means he i member state... that is the i difficulty, - that means he can member state... that is the - difficulty, - that means he can move difficulty, — that means he can move into moldova, russia already has part of moldova, but it was effectively a self—declared self—governing republic that leans on russia, i've seen the bizarre sight of tunisians who don't recognise moldova coming over to vote and mulled over in elections because they are trying to promote the progression candidates who haven't won that time. that could be

another one, and presumably if moldova were to be invaded, we would also not do anything additional to what doing now with ukraine. irate what doing now with ukraine. we would what doing now with ukraine. - would do something similar in terms of not direct involvement. just because countries are not in nato does not mean that there might not be an intervention. i think the counterexample to that would be sweden and finland, because neither of those is in nato. but i think given their very close cooperation with nato and their membership in the european union, i think russia would be very ill—advised to attack either of those countries and assume the west would not get involved. front of the telegraph, russia plotting chemical attack, which i suppose if it is true, please again to a malcolm's point that what we are seeing is further signs that actually this war isn't going very well, so something to cheer on —

made against western sanctions is that russia will simply switch its economic relationships and its trade, and inward investment to china. and what this shows, or at least it's an illustration of a trend — china is exe quite cautious about that, and china will be concerned, first of all, with the prospect of american secondary sanctions impacting chinese companies —— actually quite cautious. but they will not get involved in the russian market unless they think there is money to be made in doing so. so china is taking quite a mercenary approach to this, and the idea that china is a brotherly ally to russia coming in behind, i don't think that's really the case. there are some considerable signs that the chinese are very unhappy that putin has gone as far as he has.— as far as he has. because he's effectin: as far as he has. because he's effecting stability so - as far as he has. because he's| effecting stability so important as far as he has. because he's i effecting stability so important to china. we've got some nice pictures

we'll be returning to singapore for more from newsday. good night. good evening, this is your update from the bbc sport centre. we start with football and the champions league — a brilliant karim benzema hat—trick saw real madrid come from behind to beat paris saint—germain 3—1 on the night, to progress to the quarterfinals. manchester city are also comfortably through with a 5—0 aggregate win over sporting lisbon. joe lynskey was watching. they were two goals down to football's super—rich, but for real madrid, it turned extraordinary. a comeback to go through that was inspired by karim benzema, their 34—year—old striker. and all this in a match that was set up for a different frenchman. kylian mbappe gave psg the first—leg lead. here he was to double it. with each match, the case grows that he's the best player in the world —

but for all that psg talent, there is frailty. at the back, they pondered and gave benzema his first opening. a tap—in brought real back in it, and now their home ground asked for more. benzema's thrived off the bernabeu for 13 years, but now this night would be a standout. that goal brought them level at 2—2. then, just seconds from the kick—off, this. he got it, karim benzema again! in front for the first time in the tie, and still in the cup, they've won more than any club. but psg spent all the cash for this prize, and once more, they miss out. it is the title, too, that manchester city want the most — but they know greater challenges lie ahead. they led sporting lisbon 5—0 on aggregate — so at home, they could sit back and make it through. a 0—0 draw was so far from the drama in madrid. and though it's just the last 16, even for the champions league's

most successful club, this was some night. joe lynskey, bbc news. some night, indeed. now 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. to the cricket now — and england's bowlers had a tough day on the second day of the first test against west indies. england took four wickets in the afternoon session in antigua — but the hosts managed to make 202 after england ended their first innings on 311. joe wilson sent this report from antiguia. the cricket ground is definitely this way — the outskirts, rural antigua, and many had other commitments. so fast bowlerjayden seales took his wickets to the west indies in front of a uk crowd. it did rain intermittently. jonny bairstow had made 140 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 woman, 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 0verton, and the batters enjoyed them. sojohn campbell could barely believe his dismissal. well, 83—1, and england and 0verton had something. wood and stokes added energy — and when the third wicket fell, england were finally warming up. but they soon met jason holder, the batter. he's a genial man who loves to defy england. west indies will resume 109 behind, and maybe holder with the balance of the match in his hands. joe wilson, bbc news, antigua. no british medals today from the winter paralympics in beijing, and a worry for the wheelchair curling team as britain's david melrose had to be taken to hospital after falling during their defeat to canada.

the team had to replace melrose with gary smith after he fell from his chair while reaching for a delivery stick. melrose suffered a shoulder injury, but was later able to return to the athletes' accommodation. gb went on to lose that match 6—3 and were then beaten by south korea, 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. it's cool that i'm the first girl, but i think the thing for me is, as long as i'm not the only and last, hopefully this can get more of a platform for the females out there. and i think this sport has grown a lot since pyeongchang. 0nto tennis now — and the first masters series event of the year gets under way on thursday

at indian wells, in california. but novak djokovic won't be there. djokovic confirmed on social media that he won't be able to play, as he's not vaccinated against covid—19. this is what the world number two had to say on social. "while i was automatically listed in the bnp paribas 0pen, and the miami 0pen draw, i knew it would be unlikely i'd be able to travel. the cdc has confirmed that regulations won't be changing, so i won't be able to play in the us. good luck to those playing in these great tournaments." djokovic missed the australian open back injanuary after being deported because of his covid vaccination status. and in formula one, haas have confirmed that kevin magnussen will return to drive for the team on a multi—year contract. the dane was at haas from 2017 to 2020 and replaces russian driver nikita mazepin, who was let go on sunday as a result of russia's invasion of ukraine. and england netball captain serena guthrie has retired from the sport after announcing she's pregnant. guthrie, who was expected to captain the roses at the commonwealth games later this year, represented her country 110 times and played at three world cups during her 15—year career.

and that is all the sport from us for now. hello there. it's been turning milder gradually as the week's worn on. it's going to end quite mild as well, but it will be turning more unsettled thanks to low pressure. we will see stronger winds returning and also outbreaks of rain, some of it heavy on friday. now, we've got high pressure to the east of us, low pressure to the west. that's drawing up the mild air from the south, a couple of nuisance weather fronts which will bring thicker cloud at times. it was a rather cloudy start to thursday, but into the afternoon, start to see some sunshine for northern ireland after that cold start. a bit of sunshine for western scotland, eastern and south east england, too. it will be very mild here, 14—15 celsius, even double figures further north and west. now, as we head into thursday evening and overnight, we see some showery rain spread out from the south across england and wales, that will push northwards into parts of northern ireland and into scotland. and with more cloud, more breeze around, the winds

coming in from the south, it's going to be a mild one for all of us, including northern ireland. so, for friday, very active weather front spreads up from the south and west. that will bring some heavy rain at times, and it's going to be quite windy and fairly mild for all.
