10:00 pm
this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm lukwesa burak. more attacks in ukraine — with large numbers of russian forces nowjust around 20 kilometres from the centre of the capital. barricades on the outskirts of kyiv, where they're preparing for an assault, possibly within days. we hearfrom the young ukrainian recruits at the checkpoints they'll be defending. a 3—way phone call between president macron, the russian leader and the german chancellor is described as "difficult" — with the french saying putin did not show any willingness to end the war. poland's parliament has passed emergency legislation that allows ukrainians fleeing the war the right to live and work in poland for 18 months.
10:01 pm
hello and welcome to bbc news. furtherfighting has been taking place outside the ukrainian capital, kyiv, where russian forces are around 15 miles from the centre of the city. british military intelligence believes those russian troops have been regrouping, possibly for a fresh offensive in the coming days. a military airfield was destroyed this morning near kyiv.(map)the a military airfield was destroyed this morning near kyiv. the latest information about russian positions is shown here in red. outside the capital, the cities of chernihiv, sumy, and kharkiv continue to be shelled. while the ukrainian military say the eastern outskirts of the beseiged city of mariupol
10:02 pm
have been captured by russian troops. the city has endured days of shelling. president zelensky has said russian and ukrainian negotiating teams have started discussing what he called "concrete topics rather than exchanging ultimatums". meanwhile, the french president emmanuel macron and germany's olaf scholz have held talks with president putin. ourfirst report tonight is from jeremy bowen, on the outskirts of kyiv. pictures of russian forces, time and place indeterminate, emerge from their side. among their potential targets here in kyiv, no—one knows their precise orders, but they're assuming an attack is coming. on the ukrainian side, they're trying to make checkpoints into real obstacles. the professionals are a few miles closer to the russians. the soldiers here are all volunteers. they are still expected to fight, even with only a few days training.
10:03 pm
just over a week ago i met two university friends, maksym, aged 19, and demytro, 18, as they signed up in kyiv. what are you studying? i am studying economy. and i am studying biology. most of the recruits that day were about the same age, making jokes to hide their nerves. when they lined up outside, they looked as if they were off to a festival — except for the guns. now, demytro and maksym have been given uniforms, three days training and they are facing the russians. get used to my gun, i learned how to shoot and act in the battle. also many other things that will be very crucial
10:04 pm
during the fight with some russians. i feel much more confident than i was before. because we get enough knowledge in tactics. do you think the battle is coming for kyiv? yes, it is definitely possible. but we just have to stop them here in brovary, because if they get to kyiv then this war might be over. what do your parents think about what you're doing? "mum, i'm on the war, i am fighting with a gun in my hands." and she said, "oh, maksym..." "nice joke." "don'tjoke with your mother, it's war. just set in the shelter and do your work, volunteer or do something else." do you feel scared? not much. but it is human nature
10:05 pm
to feel scared. and of course, deeply in my soul, ifeel a bit scared. because no—one wants to die, even if it's for your country. so, death is not an option for us. for now, they are on the checkpoint. if the russians come, they will be firing out of a trench in the war�*s key battle. war always has a political, as well as a military dimension. while president zelensky and his government are here in kyiv, no—one can say that they have been defeated, even if they are losing territory elsewhere. at the same time, president putin cannot claim victory in this war if his men can't take this city. everyone here is waiting — soldiers, civilians in and out of uniform, and maksym and demytro. jeremy bowen, bbc news, kyiv.
10:06 pm
president zelensky says about 1,300 ukrainian troops have been killed since the start of russia's invasion. he told journalists in kyiv, that far larger numbers of russian soldiers had died — perhaps ten times as many, but those figures can't be verifed. as russian forces continued to shell kyiv, mr zelensky said, they'd have to destroy the capital and its population to occupy it. our security correspondent, frank gardner, has this assessment of russian�*s military strategy. it looks like, and it feels like, the beginning of the endgame — although who knows how long that's going to last? if we look at the map here on day 17, the red areas are where russian forces have taken control. in the south, they continue to make advances. they are pushing to the north—west. in the north is where the real battle is going to be fought. that's for the capital, kyiv, around here. now, you remember that great big russian armoured column that was stuck for days north of the capital?
10:07 pm
most of that has redeployed into the forests, to the north—west, moving their artillery and rocket systems within range of the capital, looking to encircle it. if president putin can't take kyiv, then his war has failed. and that appears to be what he is determined to do, is to capture the capital. but it's not going to be an easy battle. and who knows when that assault is actually going to begin? a direct hit on a russian armoured column as it advances on the capital, kyiv. western supplied anti—tank weapons have slowed the russian advance, but they haven't stopped it. in the air, russian warplanes remain wary of ukraine's air defences. but they have the advantage of numbers on their side. the latest pentagon assessment is that the russian air force is flying an average of 200 missions a day, compared tojust ten for the ukrainians. now, some of those russian sorties don't even need to cross into ukrainian airspace. they can fire their cruise missiles from inside russian territory.
10:08 pm
this is what they're up against, western supplied missile systems, plus some old soviet—era stock. the ukrainians have shot down a number of russian helicopters and planes. russia has threatened to start targeting the supply of western weaponry. meanwhile, the pentagon has dismissed fears that some of these weapons could end up with criminals and terrorists. president putin has made it clear what he intends to do with any anti—aircraft missiles his forces captured from the ukrainians. the kremlin's position towards ukraine has barely moved since the day this invasion began, two and a half weeks ago.
10:09 pm
"this war can stop when you want it to, you just need to lay down your arms, surrender, give in to all our demands and forget about being a part of western europe." frank gardner, bbc news. president putin has held talks with the leaders of france and germany about the situation in ukraine. ——president putin has held talks with the leaders of france and germany about the situation in ukraine. the three—way phone call between president macron, the russian leader and the german chancellor has been described as �*difficult�* — with the french saying mr putin did not show any willingness to end the war. let's get more from our europe editor, katya adler. was any progress made during this conversation?— conversation? vladimir putin is not 0 en to conversation? vladimir putin is not open to realistic— conversation? vladimir putin is not open to realistic conditions - conversation? vladimir putin is not open to realistic conditions for - conversation? vladimir putin is not open to realistic conditions for a i open to realistic conditions for a cease—fire, and the kremlin says they use the opportunity to complain about alleged human rights abuses ukrainians on russian soldiers, seek
10:10 pm
and say, well, you know, what is the point of these conversations? what else went on in those 75 minutes? a manual background has held about ten of these calls already since russia invaded ukraine. he is been criticised by some at home and abroad as being naive, arrogant, played by moscow, and i put that to him a couple of days ago and he said, you know, these calls aren't a win of his committee are coordinated with all of the western allies. he in france, like in germany, imposing sanctions on russia. they are supporting the military and ukraine, but they say in case vladimir putin looks for that off ramp, if he is ready for a cease—fire, when he is available to talk, negotiate realistically, then it is important to keep these lines of communication open and ready. so manual background said these calls for the kremlin, they will continue. we said these calls for the kremlin, they will continue.— said these calls for the kremlin, they will continue. we heard when mr zelensky was — they will continue. we heard when mr

week. our chief international correspondent _ week. our chief international correspondent speaking i week. our chief international correspondent speaking to i week. our chief international| correspondent speaking to us week. our chief international- correspondent speaking to us live from kyiv. thank you very much. the number of people arriving in moldova to escape the war in ukraine is so high that every eighth child in the country is a refugee. the moldovan government says its infrastructure is already saturated. it fears a full blown assault on ukraine's third city of odesa, 30 miles from moldova's border, could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe. our correspondent, lucy williamson, reports. sometimes, the long, cold journey from ukraine ends here. in the emergency department of moldova's ignatenco children's hospital. within the last week alexey has fled a war, left family and is living in a new country as a refugee. a high temperature almost counts as normal. around a dozen refugee children arrive here every day, often suffering from dehydration or breathing problems.
10:20 pm
tanya came straight here from the border. her daughter sofia caught pneumonia on theirjourney from dnipro in central ukraine. she spent two days in intensive care. "i'm completely broken", she told me. "they were bombing everywhere. "it's horrible. it's why everyone's leaving." every eighth child in moldova is now a refugee and as the fighting creeps closer to moldova's border, the numbers keep rising. fewer than half the refugees arriving here actually stay on but that is still enough to have increased moldova's population by 4% in a fortnight. the equivalent of 2.5 million people arriving in the uk. even without any dramatic changes at the front line, we are approaching breaking point, but if there is a dramatic implosion of fighting around odesa, that would be a complete catastrophe for the humanitarian situation here. we cannot plan, we cannot prepare. it would just be
10:21 pm
completely overwhelming. charities say it's already proving difficult to keep track of some children fleeing ukraine. we've had verified by local authorities who have asked us to help receive 150 children through one of the border crossings, between them leaving that orphanage and the time that we anticipated they would be at the crossing, all 150 children have gone missing. we have no idea where they are. border checks across the region are minimalfor those fleeing the war, but protection rests on making sure the vulnerable are visible because it is hard to protect them if they're not. lucy williamson, bbc news, moldova. uliana pavlova, a ukrainian—russian freelance journalist, in the last three weeks, thousands of
10:22 pm
people have been detained for protesting against the war. ——in russia, the kremlin continues to try to control its narrative for the russian public about what it calls a "special military operation". in the last three weeks, thousands of people have been detained for protesting against the war. but there is strong support among some, for the reassertion of russia's influence in the region. our moscow correspondent, caroline davies, reports. upbeat music. scroll through russian—run social media, and these are the sorts of videos you might see. upbeat russian patriotism, as the country becomes more isolated. in russia, even cheese can be political. the owner of this factory posted a video on social media praising president putin. his business wouldn't exist if the russian leader hadn't put sanctions on european cheese. some are already bound economically to the kremlin's success. translation: in 2011, - i was going out with a poster saying, "putin, go away." i didn't support the president then.
10:23 pm
i was thinking our country was going the wrong way. but in 2014 he returned us crimea, started protecting russian products, started supporting agriculture. i changed my mind and started supporting him. but signs of support don't only exist on screens. since we've been driving around the outskirts of moscow, we have now seen several vehicles with z markings on. some have just been drawn in the dirt on the back of them. others have been marked in tape. all of them, a sign of support for the russian army in ukraine. the letter z, which first appeared on the side of russian military vehicles, is now evident across russia — from filmed candlelit gatherings, to some buses and trams, like here in suburban moscow. "i support this," says vyacheslav. "it's our country, it's our army." "i'm positive about this," says inna, "we must support our own, regardless of who's right and who's wrong." what's been really interesting, speaking to people here, is how often the same expressions come up. the sort of expressions you quite
10:24 pm
often see on social media as hashtags, or being said on the state media too. it's also worth saying that there were people here who said that they didn't agree with the z signs, but those people didn't want to go on camera. and the propaganda... many who used to protest now only feel able to speak publicly once they've left the country. a few days ago, mark and his family escaped to nepal. he is trying to speak to loved ones in russia about the conflict. many of my relatives were having doubts after we spoke to them. but later, they watch tv again and told me, "well, no, i don't think you're right. well, i believe putin, he is very powerful. there are enemies everywhere." i just can't understand how they can believe it, but they do. and if you tell someone the same thing, over and over again, it becomes like truth. as russia shuts off independent
10:25 pm
media, there is less to challenge the kremlin's narrative, and the patriotic drumbeat telling russians to support president putin is only getting louder. carolyn davis, bbc news, moscow. officials in moscow are warning that western sanctions could cause the international space station to crash. they believe the measures could disrupt the operations of russian vessels servicing the iss. the russian section of the station weighs 500—tonnes and helps correct its orbit. the west�*s crackdown on some of the oligarchs linked to president putin is continuing — italy's financial police say they have seized the yacht of the russian billionaire andre melnichenko. this is it — moored in the port of trieste. it gets huge it actually expands across the screen. it's one of the largest yachts in the world and reportedly worth almost 600 million dollars. mr melnichencko, who owns a coal mining company, and the fertiliser producer eurochem, was sanctioned by the european union on march 9th.
10:26 pm
you are watching bbc news. hello there. cloud, wind and rain moving in from the southwest will dominate over the next few hours. it's an area of low pressure that will gradually sit towards the west of northern ireland, that's where we will see the strongest of the winds and perhaps the heaviest of the rain throughout the day this sunday. elsewhere, there is a weak weather front which will produce some showery rain through central and eastern scotland and eastern england first thing. that will ease away, sunshine comes through and a scattering of showers across england and wales, some of them heavy and thundery. the sharper showers, the most frequent rain likely to be to the northwest, that's where we will see the strongest of the winds as well, 50—60 mph gusts not out of the question. windierfor all of us through sunday, top temperatures though 9—13 celsius. if you dodge the showers and keep a little bit more sunshine, that will feel pleasant enough. now, as we move out
10:27 pm
of sunday into monday, start a new working week, we are likely to see this weather front here bringing some outbreaks of rain to begin with, but on the whole, it's an improving picture. much lighter winds on monday, that means with the sunshine coming through, it will feel noticeably warmer out there. so the rain quite light and patchy, and it will drift its way steadily eastwards and fragment further into the afternoon. more cloud for scotland but generally sunny spells, a few isolated showers, lighter winds and highs of 1a degrees on monday. now, with some clearer skies, we could see some patchy mist and maybe some fog forming first thing on tuesday morning. it's going to be a chilly start on tuesday. the fog will lift, we will have sunshine coming through, not a bad day, largely dry with light winds for all of us, and again, pleasant enough, 1a degrees the high. wednesday, the middle part of the week, looks likely to be the day where some of us will see some rain at some point, and some of it quite heavy in actualfact. now, to the south of this weather front, it could turn very mild
10:28 pm
indeed with more of a southerly flow across eastern and south east england. so, here, 16 degrees not out of the question, but some of that rain really could be quite heavy, and behind those weather fronts, up into the far northwest, here, it will be noticeably cooler, 8—9 celsius the overall high. so, that's how we are looking through the middle part of the week. let's just summarise that for you one more time. it looks likely that our week ahead will be largely dry with lighter winds and mild, but looks likely that on wednesday, there will be some rain for all of us at some point. take care.
10:29 pm
10:30 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the poltical commentator, jo phillips and the political editor of the sunday mirror and sunday people, nigel nelson. the telegraph is reporting that british households will be paid 350 pounds a month to host refugees as part of scheme called, homes for ukraine. the government said those offering accommodation would be "vetted" and ukrainian applicants "will undergo security checks".
