russian state tv has long been controlled by the kremlin and is the main source of news for millions of russians. since the beginning of what russia called its "special military operation" in ukraine, a number ofjournalists have resigned from several russian state tv channels, but marina is adamant that she wants to stay in russia. what do you think your future now holds for you and your children here in russia? it's a hard question because my eldest son said that i have ruined the life of the whole family. probably he doesn't understand now, but i hope in the future my children will understand this sacrifice was not for nothing. caroline davies, bbc news, moscow. the war here has united the population in the fight against russia.

one in five of the regular ukrainian armed forces is female, but the russian invasion has prompted both younger women — and veterans — tojoin the fightback. i spoke to two of them. each day brings with it the hope in ukraine that their collective fightback will drive the russians out. and it is here, in a regular market in the suburbs of lviv, that we find a base for these female military medics. elena has just returned from the front line where she was working as an army medic. she is now helping irina with supplies for civilians and fighters. translation: our women are very tough. _ doubt and fear wouldn't stop them. they continued working as medics, volunteers — i'm very proud of them. she served in bucha, a city near the capital being attacked by the russians, helping to set up a field hospital there.

while we were walking across bucha, we saw a lot of dead bodies, women, children, men, teenagers. and they wouldn't let us collect the bodies. they shot at our medical car. irina served as a medic in the east where ukrainians have been fighting russian—backed separatists for eight years. women have been part of the armed forces since 1993 and their numbers have grown with this current russian threat. translation: before the war, i also saw that a woman - was there to guard the home, to take care of the children and stay at home, but this war has showed that a woman is also a fighter. there are women at war doing differentjobs. not only medics, but they are also snipers. they can carry weapons. you are part of this military veterans association.

how do you feel about having to defend your country in this way? although i'm a person who has been to war and who is used to war, it is still a horror. i can't get used to children being killed. why are they bombarding hospitals? why are women being killed? their parting words for the russians — "be afraid of a person who has lost everything. they are unstoppable." resolute and defiant, despite the battering ukraine is taking, a country that refuses to bow down. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet is in kyiv tonight. we have heard more about potential russian demands but the us is in still sceptical mode about whether russia actually wants peace. we hear

re orts russia actually wants peace. we hear reports they — russia actually wants peace. we hear reports they are _ russia actually wants peace. we hear reports they are making _ russia actually wants peace. we hear reports they are making progress in l reports they are making progress in peace talks every day this week we heard about the mediation through the israeli prime minister and now tonight we are hearing through our world affairs editorjohn simpson that the turkish mediators have spoken to vladimir putin and in all of these mediations and they are very eager mediators, it has to be said, the points are known to everyone, vladimir putin wants ukraine to renounce any ambition to join nato, something ukraine is willing to discuss, but he also wants ukraine to recognise that the crimean peninsula that it annexed in 2014 is part of russia as well of parts of eastern ukraine, and that is more difficult, but ukraine still talks of possible compromise, and thejob of the talks of possible compromise, and the job of the diplomats is to come up the job of the diplomats is to come up with some form of words and they are making progress but thejob of the military commanders for vladimir putin is to make progress on the ground and russia one month into this military campaign is nowhere

near getting what it wants most of all, a corridor along the southern coast between the crimea and eastern ukraine. and mariupol in the middle is cursed by geography and it stands in the way. figs is cursed by geography and it stands inthewa . a. ., in the way. as always, thanks for “oininr in the way. as always, thanks for joining us- _ well, here in the west of ukraine, from where i've been reporting for the last two weeks, the situation does remain relatively calm — but still its citizens have to cope with nightly air raid sirens, and their streets now feature roadblocks, sandbags and boarded up windows — all signs that nothing anywhere in this embattled country is normal at all. i've met people who've been displaced from their own homes because of the fighting and seen thousands make their desperate way to the border to get out. no—one here is untouched by this war.

and so many are engaged in different ways in the resistance. and that is what makes its survivors strong — a people united in a common cause — a determination that this is bbc news, the headlines. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are broadcaster, matthew stadlen and annabel denham, director of communications, at the think—tank, �*the institute of economic affairs'. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the financial times, like many of tomorrow's front pages, leads with the sacking of 800 p&o staff, resulting it what it says

is a massive problem for british supply chains, as both passenger and freight shipping routes face 10 days of disruption. the telegraph has details of ben wallace and priti patel being targeted by a hoax leading to the ukraine. mrwallace targeted by a hoax leading to the ukraine. mr wallace was asked about deployments of warships to the black sea but says he ended the call after becoming suspicious of the person pretending to be ukraine's prime minister. home at last. a glorious picture on the front page of the guardian these of course enjoying the spring sunshine with her family. the british iranian who was imprisoned in irene is back in the uk and his back in herfamily. the brutal reality of the war is depicted on the times is a pictures of him and warning his mother in a kyiv street yesterday she was killed

by debris from a missile strike. a little flavour some of the pages. we got more coming in. we will update them. a very good evening. let us start off with outrage, i think is the best way to describe it. it was the news that broke regarding p&o. mat it. it was the news that broke regarding p&0._ it. it was the news that broke regarding p&0. it. it was the news that broke rearardin p&0. ., ., i. regarding p&0. not quite what you exect to regarding p&0. not quite what you exoect to see _ regarding p&0. not quite what you exoect to see on — regarding p&0. not quite what you expect to see on the _ regarding p&0. not quite what you expect to see on the front - regarding p&0. not quite what you expect to see on the front pages i regarding p&0. not quite what you | expect to see on the front pages but were very accepting this evening. really quite terrible in so many respects was up not least of cars the pr for p&o. a number of points to make. the first is they are reported to have taken £14 million in furloughs, taxpayers money that is been taken in the toughest of times. only to then fire staff now.

it really says something about will expect to prepend pandemic levels with up there were concerns of the course the scheme was perhaps we will hear more stories like that in the coming weeks and months. of what the coming weeks and months. of what the financial times really throws on here is the disruption to supply chains if you look at the damage that was reaped last summer going into the autumn by disrupted supply chains combined with the reopening of economies across the globe and therefore this surge in demand, it caused all sorts of problems and this is really quite troubling. the other angle is the angle can have on the workers themselves in the way

they were told and reports about how they'd been handled by security staff after refusing to leave. and of course the fact that it's being reported p&o hiring cheap foreign workers to fill a job which is really get a feel like a slap in the face. all in all it's been a pretty disastrous day for p&o and those who work for them. disastrous day for p80 and those who work for them-— work for them. matthew i don't know if ou cut work for them. matthew i don't know if you out the — work for them. matthew i don't know if you cut the comments _ work for them. matthew i don't know if you cut the comments today. - work for them. matthew i don't know if you cut the comments today. they| if you cut the comments today. they were repeated calls for the money to be paid back from p&o. yes, ithink this is obviously about public mone . �* , this is obviously about public mone. h ., , money. it's also about people stranded- _ money. it's also about people stranded. first _ money. it's also about people stranded. first and _ money. it's also about people stranded. first and foremostl money. it's also about people - stranded. first and foremost because the public— stranded. first and foremost because the public money involved pales in significance compared to what was wasted _ significance compared to what was wasted on — significance compared to what was wasted on testing trace and so forth — wasted on testing trace and so forth i— wasted on testing trace and so forth. i think is really a story about— forth. i think is really a story about those 800 workers and the people _ about those 800 workers and the people that depend on them to put bread _ people that depend on them to put bread on_ people that depend on them to put bread on the table. we had reports

reading this this evening. yes, interesting _ reading this this evening. yes, interesting and _ reading this this evening. yes, interesting and quite - reading this this evening. ye: interesting and quite unexpected, really to read that the russians have been targeting our cabinet ministers with these fake video calls. i suspected when i originally read the story on the bbc news website that they were quite unlikely to get any real information and this was an employee trying to embarrass ben wallace more than it was to elicit intelligence state secrets. turns out from at least what we know at the moment is he hasn't said anything too discreet. and therefore we can hope that it's not transpired to be too serious a matter. but nonetheless, it is troubling indeed that they are being targeted in this way. we know that intelligence organisations will get up intelligence organisations will get up to the sorts of tricks. the other side to this is the concern that

it's going to tie people up trying to get to the bottom of what happened. we know that already because ben wallace has an inquiry into the video call having said that it had been properly set up through a request to make government department by an e—mail in the name of an aide at the ukrainian embassy. more details to, i should imagine. let's bring up tweets from the secretary of state for defence, ben wallace. it was a series of two tweets. today an attempt was made by an imposter claiming to be ukrainian mp, pm brother. he posed several misleading questions after becoming suspicious. this information, distortion and dirty tricks. human rights abuses and illegal invasion of ukraine. a desperate attempt was the end of the tweet there. what did you make of the story as you read a?
