this is bbc news. welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. i'm ben boulos. our top stories... ukraine's president tells the israeli parliament his country is facing the threat of destruction — and compares russia's actions to those of hitler in the 1940s. translation: they are speaking these words again, the final solution - in respect to us, to the ukrainian question. 10 million people have now fled their homes in ukraine since the start of the war — more than a quarter of the population. everything is ruined and i don't know will stay my house in safety? i don't know when i can

come back to ukraine. iamjames i am james reynolds in western ukraine, iwill i am james reynolds in western ukraine, i will bring you the latest on events inside this country. russia's bombardment continues targeting a school in mariupol where 400 people were sheltering. defiance in kherson, currently occupied by russia. demonstrators wearing ukrainian flags telling moscow's forces to "go home" hello. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky has addressed israeli mps drawing paralells between russian�*s invasion of his country to world war two. he also said that the russian invasion is like "the final solution." his address comes as the united nations says

10 million people have now fled their homes in ukraine since the start of the conflict. the worst of fighting remains around the beseiged city of mariupol where russia have been accussed of bombing a school where around 400 people were sheltering. there's no word yet on casualties. for the latest, let's cross to james reynolds in lviv. good evening from the vivre in western ukraine which has, for the day, remained reasonably calm, people have been able to go out for a walk, some have gone to church, others and spend the day on their phones messaging brothers, fathers, husbands who are trapped in other parts of the country. even elderly grandparents who haven't been able to leave battle torn areas. when you speak to some people here, they say they want more help of the world,

countries they expect to be their allies. that it was a message delivered from their own presidents when he spoke to the israeli parliament. translation: listen - to what the kremlin is saying, simply listen to that. they even used to such terminology that were mentioned then, when the nazi party was marching through europe and wanted to destroy everyone and everything, to subjugate peoples and to destroy us and you completely without even a word. they were calling it the final solution for the jewish question. you remember that. and you will never forget that. but you are hearing they are speaking these words again, the final solution.

i'm joined now by our middle east correspondent, yollande knell, she is in jerusalem. this was a speech from the president of ukraine, who is alsojewish, to the parliament of the jewish state. i wonder what kind of connection he made. we i wonder what kind of connection he made. ~ . , ., ., , made. we have seen them having to be t in: to made. we have seen them having to be trying to rally — made. we have seen them having to be trying to rally support — made. we have seen them having to be trying to rally support when _ made. we have seen them having to be trying to rally support when he - made. we have seen them having to be trying to rally support when he has - trying to rally support when he has spoken to lawmakers around the world and he has proven skilful at honing his message and targeting the people he is talking to. when he spoke to the british parliament, he brought up the british parliament, he brought up winston churchill, when he addressed the israeli parliamentarians on this mass zoom call, he brought up the israeli prime minister who was born in kyiv. he quoted her, words that she famously spoke about how they intend to live but our neighbours want to see us dead. that doesn't leave much room for compromise. then he went

russia as we were hearing to those of nazi germany in the second world war. this is a short speech, only 15 minutes, but quite a strong and to the point. he was questioning israel's position an official neutrality if you like. because israel has close relations with both ukraine and with russia, it has tried to walk a diplomatic tightrope during this war, it has enjoined many western countries and imposing sanctions on russia while the forest minister has announced the russian invasion of ukraine, the israeli prime minister has been careful not to do so. he has positioned himself as a mediator, a go—between of the two sides. even though it was the jewish sabbath, he met president putin for a long meeting, he has taken calls from both leaders but what is also a at stake here, what

makes it a delicate situation, is its vested interest, the fact that russia remains an important military player in the middle east, particularly when it comes to syria. there is this an official security coordination when izzo has been carrying out repeated air strikes against his brother, and of course iran in syria. it does that with russia giving it almost a free hand so long as russian troops on the ground are left untouched. 0ur middle east correspondent, thank you very much. president volodymyr zelensky has described the russian blockade and bombardment of mariupol as terror that will be remembered for centuries to come.

russia is besieging the city of mariupol in the south—east to try to build a land corridor between the territories it has taken on the east of ukraine and the territories it has taken in the south of ukraine. with all the developments jonah fisher has this report. to look down on mariupol is to see the lie that is vladimir putin's "liberation" war. an important port city of a00,000, now a smoking ruin, with no clean water or power. from the local authorities come accounts of atrocities that we cannot independently verify. an art school that was sheltering 400, apparently destroyed from the air. in one part of town, it's claimed that advancing soldiers have forcibly taken thousands of ukrainians across the border into russia. translation: the besieged city. of mariupol will go down in history for the war crimes being committed. the terror the occupiers did to the peaceful city will be

remembered for centuries to come. a staggering quarter of all ukrainians have been forced out of their homes during this war. about three million of those have left the country, leaving 6.5 million looking for safety inside ukraine, somewhere like here in lviv. those that have managed to escape mariupol bring harrowing stories. vadim is a pensioner and is now staying in a lviv apartment paid for by his daughter. when the home he shared with his wife irina came underfire, they sheltered for 12 days inside a theatre. irina says they burned the chairs to boil water for the 600 children there. two days after vadim and irina left, the theatre was bombed. it's still not clear what has

happened to all the children. "those people were killed for nothing, they're civilians", she says. "mariupol is a russian—speaking city, everyone has relatives in russia and russia is killing its own people." "i'm glad putin opened my eyes as to who i really am," vadim says. "we are ukrainians." jonah fisher, bbc news, lviv. it is worth us repeating the number said they are, more than 6 million ukrainians have left their homes to seek refuge and shelter elsewhere within this country's borders. i met some of them earlier today, one woman said she was travelling with her seven—year—old daughter and mother and she had left male relatives, including grandparents, and her heart she says behind in the eastern city of kharkiv. i also met

a man, he was carrying violins with him. across the border in the eu and the nato countries in greater safety, there are more than 3 million ukrainians who have now become refugees. my colleague nick thorpe has been following the journeys of people who have fled to romania from ukraine. the river danube cuts ukraine in the north from romania to the south. so many people are fleeing ukraine, it's easy to miss the few returning by river ferry. you still need a ticket if you're going the wrong way. it's a romanian ship flying the ukrainian flag as a courtesy. irina is one of the passengers, a lawyerfrom kyiv. she's just taken her twin children to safety in germany. now she's on her way back to fetch her mother. ukraine was a great country but now everything is ruined and i don't know will stay my house in safety?

i don't know when i can come back to ukraine. the ferry docks and a dozen or so people disembark. barely an hour later, the ferry fills with refugees. irina and her mother natalia are among them. many are from 0desa, but there are also some from mykolaiv, the city further east still blocking any russian advance along the coast. in romania, the ukrainians get a warm welcome. she was crying, she thinks that we will never see each other again. i will feel happy when i return to ukraine. i will be happy. as the sun sets, another ferry embarks from the romanian shore to bring more ukrainians across. nick thorpe, bbc news,

in isaccea in the danube delta. night has drawn in here in lviv so it is time to check in with one of my colleagues who is in the same city. i'm joined now by zhanna bezpiatchuk from the bbc ukrainian service. i wonder how people are getting on and now here in this city almost a month after the russian invasion? first of all, people here have to learn how to get on with their lives. very often i hearfrom them they need to restore the feeling of normality within this new abnormality for the country and people all over ukraine. they should also understand these people here shoulder a huge workload. every day,

the macro local authorities, they say they really need the help of international organisations like red cross and other aid organisations. people are really coping with all challenges, they receive everybody that comes here fully in other parts of the country. but for the moment we have to acknowledge that the vivre and western ukraine are working at maximum. in weeks this city might run out of resources. that is why the shipping from humanitarian aid from poland to lviv, that is why it is so important. lviv, that is why it is so important-— lviv, that is why it is so im ortant. ., ., important. in the time that i have been here — important. in the time that i have been here in _ important. in the time that i have been here in lviv, _ important. in the time that i have been here in lviv, i— important. in the time that i have been here in lviv, i have - important. in the time that i have been here in lviv, i have been - been here in lviv, i have been struck by how much people want to

continue living their normal lives if they can and how much they were to continue trying to express themselves. i've i am right, you caught a street concert. exactly. and this local _ caught a street concert. exactly. and this local park _ caught a street concert. exactly. and this local park which - caught a street concert. exactly. and this local park which is - caught a street concert. exactly. and this local park which is the i and this local park which is the landmark of this city, we sold a street concert held by the university choir. they were singing famous national song, very symbolic for ukrainians. we can take a listen to this song. singing

it was exactly that moment of normality in defiance and desperation for people. exactly what people needed. also, i have to pay attention this university students, they were raising the spirits of locals and refugees on the one hand and raising money for the army. in order to feel they can help the front line and the country. thank ou so front line and the country. thank you so much- — front line and the country. thank you so much. let's _ front line and the country. thank you so much. let's return - front line and the country. thank you so much. let's return now i front line and the country. thankj you so much. let's return now to that number that we have been giving you throughout the day. more than 10 million ukrainians have had to leave their homes over the last month, more than 6 million have sought shelter within this country's borders, more than 3 million have sought shelter outside this country. the mum as they cross the border, they become refugees. we can now talk to jan egeland,

secretary general of the norwegian refugee council. thank you so much forjoining us. how do continents, europe, deal with the fact that 10 million people have been displaced? we the fact that 10 million people have been displaced?— the fact that 10 million people have been displaced? we are beginning to u-ras been displaced? we are beginning to a-ras the been displaced? we are beginning to grasn the extent _ been displaced? we are beginning to grasp the extent of _ been displaced? we are beginning to grasp the extent of this _ been displaced? we are beginning to grasp the extent of this catastrophe l grasp the extent of this catastrophe in europe. we have to go back to the second world war to have anything comparable and i don't think even at that time you would see more than 3 million people were displaced per week. it is three and a half weeks since this started are now 10 million people have had to flee their homes, fully or that they hold dear. it is mind—boggling. still, of course, there are more than 30 million people left behind and many of them are in the crossfire, many people in mariupol in the east of the country cannot leave the

devastation is just beyond the country cannot leave the devastation isjust beyond belief. what lessons have you drawn from the refugee experience in syria, which has experienced ii refugee experience in syria, which has experienced 11 years of civil war and what lessons might be useful for this crisis? there are many similar lessons really. unfortunately, from these two wars, the first one is it is madness to take the war into the cities. this war is now fighting street by street in urban areas which means it becomes a bloodbath, really. there are civilians filled to the brim in these places. you cannot, must not take the war to the cities. the second lesson is that because it is so difficult to take a

city fighting street by street and basement by basement, we may see many more procedure meds like the one we have seen in mariupol. in syria may need the siege mince took years and in the end people will starved to death. this madness has to stop, there has to be progress in the negotiating table in the first thing they have to agree on is a ceasefire so i will relief can get into the cities and the civilians can get out. into the cities and the civilians can get out-— into the cities and the civilians can aet out. ., ., ., ~ ., can get out. you have worked for man , can get out. you have worked for many. many _ can get out. you have worked for many. many beggars _ can get out. you have worked for many, many beggars on - can get out. you have worked for many, many beggars on the - can get out. you have worked for. many, many beggars on the subject can get out. you have worked for- many, many beggars on the subject of refugees and you will know as well as anyone else that these people weren't always refugees, in no conflict do they begin as refugees. they were accountants, book—keepers, salespeople, sportspeople, singers, ordinary people who have had to take on that title of refugee. what you

is continuing inside the city. i'm joined now by glen grant, a retired british army lieutenant—colonel, and now senior defence analyst at the baltic security foundation. it is good to have you with us. what do you make of the situation as it currently stands particularly around mariupol? it is currently stands particularly around mariu ol? , . ., currently stands particularly around mariuol? , . ., ., mariupol? it is quite clear that what russia — mariupol? it is quite clear that what russia is doing _ mariupol? it is quite clear that what russia is doing now- mariupol? it is quite clear that what russia is doing now is . mariupol? it is quite clear that - what russia is doing now is holding with its ground troops, mainly because in many cases they have run out of fuel and in other cases because they have been fought to a standstill by the ukrainians who are pushing them back in places. in mariupol, what we see in other places is putting is using his missiles into different ways. one way is his best missiles, he is using them to kill as many people as possible. he fired into the theatre in mariupol and then again into the

arts school. as you said, we don't know what the casualties are from the art school. in many places, he is firing to create terror. he is throwing old missiles with a sell by date of 1980 and you can see pictures of those when the missile comes down, sticks on the road goes through the building but doesn't explode. he is using those just generally around as much as possible to keep the terror components going. why is it that russia is faring so badly militarily given the size of its forces and the calculation presumably the kremlin made that they would be able to carry out the operation, the war and win it within a matter of days? where has it gone so wrong from their point of view? that is was a six—week discussion. bring it down to a couple of things. firstly, culture. they have still

got the soviet culture which means everybody is frightened, there is no trust in the organisation and you've got to have generals to make things work. which is why generals have been the other friends and have been killed. the second thing is, they haven't upgraded their training in any way. a lot of the training is just second—rate. if you ask most of the military commentators, they will say the generals are second rate, they don't really know what they are doing militarily so they are asking soldiers to do things which just needs to certain death. the last thing, if you've got conscripts, you haven't got an army. there is only one or two countries in the world to make on steps into an army like finland and sweden and other countries can't. because they are just boys and we don't want a fight. there is no inner motivation for them. they are fair game a lot of the time. , ._ ,

present zelensky addressing the israeli parliament, referring to the missile defence system they have and asking for them to perhaps provide some sort of arms. do you see that as a possibility? i some sort of arms. do you see that as a possibility?— as a possibility? i don't think the israelis will _ as a possibility? i don't think the israelis will do _ as a possibility? i don't think the israelis will do it. _ as a possibility? i don't think the israelis will do it. certainly, - as a possibility? i don't think the israelis will do it. certainly, if. israelis will do it. certainly, if the ukrainians had an anti—missile system then presents prudent would be in deep trouble because missiles are his prime weapon at the moment. 0k, thank you very much for your insight and analysis affair. the retired lieutenant colonel. there are of this all the time on our web page on the news website. they are from our correspondence from ukraine, russia and beyond as well. the later is being updated for you constantly, as indeed we will

continue to do here on bbc news. thanks for watching. the weather is going to stay settled and sunny all week long. that is, if you like settled weather. the high pressure centred around poland and lithuania has spread right across the continent, around it you can see the continent, around it you can see the cloud are rotating and clipping western fringes of the uk so skies have been hazy. for most of us, it is clear skies through the night. that means a cold night on the way, a frosty start on monday but it will be mostly sunny. here are the temperatures in most towns and cities. it'll be around freezing or below and in rural spot of northern england and scotland i wouldn't be surprised if it falls to minus 6

degrees. chilly start across many areas, sunshine rights from the word 90, areas, sunshine rights from the word go, they will be a build—up of a little to plough through the afternoon but pleasant temperatures around southern britain, temperatures around 15 or 16. cold in the north sea coast, around ten. in the days ahead, it is going to turn warmer, we will see warmer weather spreading in from the southern climes all the way from spain, the mediterranean, across front and temperatures are likely to hit 20 degrees. we had 20 degrees this weekend in western parts of scotland but that was a very, very local effect. the high teens and 20 degrees will be more widespread across this portion of the uk. temperatures may spark off one or two showers, particularly across central and northern england can tuesday. a really pleasant warm sunny day but these temperatures are above the average for the time of the year. wednesday, spot the

difference. maybe give or take a degree. really pleasant weather, the wind should be light as well and should warm up in the north sea coast, 17 degrees in whole. the high pressure is centred around the uk on thursday, just light winds blowing around, most of the country will find it in the centre of that height so hardly a breath of wind. we keep that fine weather into the whole of the week and then the weekend looks at least bright or sunny as well. it will turn more unsettled at the end of the week.

this is bbc news — welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. our top stories... ukraine's president zelensky has addressed the israeli parliament, comparing russia's actions in ukraine to those of hitler in the 1940s. he said the kremlin was talking about the final solution to the ukrainian issue. the united nations says ten million ukrainians have now been displaced by the invading russian forces since the war began — a quarter of the population. they have either fled abroad or moved to safer parts of the country. russia's bombardment continues — targeting a school in mariupol where 400 people were sheltering. president zelensky described the russian blockade and bombardment of the city as a terror that will be remembered for centuries to come.

defiance in kherson, currently occupied by russia. a large crowd of protestors wearing ukrainian flags telling moscow's forces to "go home". russian military vehicles marked with a "z" have been seen turning away and leaving when confronted by the demonstrators. the anonymous hacktivist collective has been bombarding russia with cyber—attacks since declaring "cyber war" on president vladimir putin in retaliation for the invasion of ukraine. several people operating under its banner spoke to the bbc about their motives, tactics and plans. let's speak to our cyber reporterjoe tidy.

what have they been saying to you? they have been very busy since the invasion, the glaring cyber war on vladimir putin two days after the war on ukraine's hearted. they have been flooding computer systems and bringing down website on the russian side and a constant bombardment as well, so much so that many of the russian sites run by financial institutions and government have been geo— blocked now so traffic outside of russia cannot affect them as much as that was but some of the big things they've been doing, perhaps the most eye—catching work was this attack on a tv network in russia. they did something called a signal broadcast intrusion where they took over the tv runnings of many different channels on a russian internet streaming channel, so what that means is people watching normal shows in russia would have been greeted by an interruption, intermission and you see images of the ukraine warand intermission and you see images of the ukraine war and sawjust talking about the horror of the war and bombs falling, the sort of thing

russia is trying to keep from citizens and i spoke to the hackers behind it, like many i was sceptical this took place but i found the original source of the first person that sought and the video that went viral and i that sought and the video that went viraland i did that sought and the video that went viral and i did confirm it happened, and the hackers said they did it for 12 minutes which is probally one of the most significant things they've done since they declared the cyber war on president vladimir putin, theyjustified it by saying people have been massacred. ii'idta�*e theyjustified it by saying people have been massacred.— theyjustified it by saying people have been massacred. have we seen the a-rou have been massacred. have we seen the groun or — have been massacred. have we seen the group or anything _ have been massacred. have we seen the group or anything like _ have been massacred. have we seen the group or anything like this - the group or anything like this before or is this something that mark a new direction for them? we have mark a new direction for them? - have seen these types of attacks, so things like defacing websites barely put posters and messages on websites and try to embarrass and... the websites on the enemies they start attacking, that is usually people they accuse, people or organisations they accuse, people or organisations they accuse, people or organisations they accuse of abusing power but one thing we are seeing in this, there are two things i've noticed in my

reporting, i don't think anonymous has ever been big of —— bigger than this, they are at the peak of their powers in terms of the amount of people you rallying around the ukraine cause, experts cannot believe the situation we are in, completely unprecedented and anyone canjoin, all you have to do is hack and use their logo. there is no leadership structure to it and i think they are seeing that from not only people who claim to be anonymous but other groups you're joining and merging with them and there has been a tactic as well as causing disruption and embarrassment against russian target well you're trying to directly speak to russian people and get around the barrier of censorship and of media laws in russia and we are seeing not only the interruption of tv stations but interesting and illegal, initiatives where people are making it so you can text random russians or e—mail random russian e—mail addresses and thatis random russian e—mail addresses and that is coming from groups who are aligned with anonymous and they are, in their words, making a difference.

thank you very much for that. let's return out of the speech made... let's return to that speech made by the ukrainian president in the past hour, when he addressed the parliament in israel, the knesset. volodymyr zelensky, who himself is jewish, compared the behaviour of russia right now, to that of the nazi party. here's what he had to say. translation: thank you very much. these speakers _ translation: thank you very much. these speakers dear— translation: thank you very much. these speakers dear esteemed - translation: thank you very much. - these speakers dear esteemed members of the knesset. thank you very much for your support. of the knesset. thank you very much foryoursupport. dear of the knesset. thank you very much for your support. dear state of israel and everyone present, the guest, people of israel, ukrainian and jewish community always wear, and jewish community always wear, and i'm sure will be very intertwined, very close. always will live together and feel together.

both joy and live together and feel together. bothjoy and pain, now i want to remind you the words that you know very well that... said, the very famous words, everyone heard it, maybe every due and also many ukrainians have heard them. indeed many russians as well. we want to live. we want to live under neighbours want to see a dead —— mexico's dead. we are prepared for compromise, i don't need to convince you to what extent our histories are intertwined. the history of ukrainians and jewish people in the past and now, in this terrible time. we are in different countries. we

are absolutely in different conditions. however, the threat is the same for you and me. for you and us, total destruction of people, cultures, team—mates and even the state of ukraine. i want you to feel this. i want you to think about that. 24th of february, start of that. 24th of february, start of that invasion, the invasion of russia to ukraine. the 24th of february. that day became history. twice. twice a tragedy, tragedy for ukrainians, forjewish people, for europe, for the world. the 24th of february 2022, the intervention of

the socialist party of germany was founded, that took millions of lives that destroyed so many countries that destroyed so many countries that were seeking to kill people. 102 years on, also on the 24th of february, there was an order of a full—blown invasion of russian army into ukraine, the invasion that already has taken thousands of people and millions of people are left without homes. they are refugees in their own land and also in polar and, refugees in their own land and also in polarand, in refugees in their own land and also in polar and, in germany, refugees in their own land and also in polarand, in germany, in refugees in their own land and also in polar and, in germany, in the baltic states, in the czech republic and dozens of various countries around the world. now our people are strewn across the world, they are seeking safety, they are seeking

help. as you were seeking ones. this invasion of russia into ukraine is not a military operation as it is presented in moscow, it is a full scale war aimed at the destruction of our people. the destruction of our children, of ourfamilies, our statehood, our cities, communities, culture and everything that ukrainians are... that makes them ukrainians. all of that is now being destroyed by the russian army and thatis destroyed by the russian army and that is why i have the right to draw this parallel and this comparison in our history and your history. in our wars for survival in the second world war. listen to what the kremlin are saying. simply listen to that. they even use such terminology

that. they even use such terminology that were mentioned, when the nazi party was marching through europe and wanted to destroy everyone and everything, to subjugate people and to destroy us and you completely without even a word stop they were calling at the final solution for the jewish person, calling at the final solution for thejewish person, you remember that. and you will never forget that but you are hearing what they are saying, they are speaking these will make words again. the final solution. —— they are speaking these words again. in respect to us, to the ukrainians, to us. that was spoken out loud. that was spoken at the meeting in moscow and it is

accessible in official sites and was quoted in official press in russia, this is what moscow is saying without the word wall. against us, the do not have a short the final solution for their safety. it was spoken 80 years ago, the exact word. people of israel, you see how russian rockets were hitting kyiv. you know what that land is. you holocaust victims, hundreds of them are buried there, that is the old cemetery in kyiv, thejewish cemetery in kyiv, thejewish cemetery and russian rockets were hitting it. people of israel, in the first day of the war, russian missiles hit sumy at tens of thousands of israelis are visiting

for pilgrimage. what will be left of all such cases in ukraine? after this horrible war? every word of what i say will be printed but you feel what i am talking about. please explain why are we appealing to the whole world, to many countries, appealing for help, appealing to you for help. but what is this? is it indifference? is it some... i will leave the answer to that question to you. you know what happens. well, many settling scores can be a mistake. there is indifference. but this is between good and evil, everyone in israel knows that your

anti—missile defences the best, it is very powerful, everyone knows that your arms are very powerful, everyone knows that you are great, you know how to stand for your state interests, interest of your people, you definitely can help out, please defend our lives, the lives of ukrainians, the lives of ukrainian jewish people. what i ask is why we cannot receive arms from you and why israel did not implement powerful sanctions against russia to affect russian business but the decision is yours. brothers and sisters, and you will have to live with that answer. ukrainians 80 years ago were saving jewish people, so we do have holy people amongst the people of the

world and the people of israel, you also face that choice now. thank you very much, thank you for everything. the united nations' high commissioner for refugees says that ten million ukrainians have now fled their homes because of devastation caused by the war. in just over three weeks since russia invaded, nearly three—and—a—half—million people have had to leave the country, while the rest have had to seek refuge elsewhere within ukraine. the figure is about a quarter of the population. earlier my colleague james reynolds spoke to matt reynolds, from the unhcr who is organising relief for refugees. in terms of speed and colleagues i've spoken to in crisis places, they say they've never seen this many people moving so fast so certainly in terms of need, if you talk about absolute numbers, you can

talk about absolute numbers, you can talk about absolute numbers, you can talk about syria in recent memory and that obviously is still ongoing where the numbers are arable but of course syria has been at war or conflict for many years now, so certainly in terms of the combination of, speed and scale, it is quite unprecedented. what combination of, speed and scale, it is quite unprecedented.— combination of, speed and scale, it is quite unprecedented. what can you tell is about — is quite unprecedented. what can you tell is about the _ is quite unprecedented. what can you tell is about the un's _ is quite unprecedented. what can you tell is about the un's efforts - is quite unprecedented. what can you tell is about the un's efforts to - tell is about the un's efforts to both find out what is going on in mariupol and getting into mariupol. there is no presence in the city at the moment, we are observing events very quickly and other actors within the un system are trying to negotiate what we call safe passage so to try to ensure both the civilians can leave safely and get to safety, but also ensure that vitally needed humanitarian aid and assistance can get in to the city.

just looking at it, how much aid to do 10 million people need? it is ve hard do 10 million people need? it is very hard to _ do 10 million people need? it 3 very hard to quantify huge amount of assistance. i think the primary need right now is for shelter, so to make sure people have somewhere to stay, they have a mattress, a blanket, they have a mattress, a blanket, they have a mattress, a blanket, they have food and water, it is really within the country we are talking about very basic assistance, we've been running convoys as have other agencies across the border from the neighbouring countries in the case of poland, we got 35 truck over the border so far, many more planned and are bringing equipment to the country. it is about is finding safe areas where people can they to shelter from the storm. hagar

a huge number of people crossing, primarily the congestion was on ukrainian side and things are moving much quicker on the polish side and in the last couple of days and i was there, the numbers declined and you are looking at 40,000 coming across, thatis are looking at 40,000 coming across, that is well over 100,000, but there's no complacency here, there are expectations that the numbers may well rise in the coming days or week and that depends very much on what happens around lviv are you know a number of people are hunkering down, it's been very hard recently but if that changes, the situation on the polish border will change, to. situation on the polish border will change. te— situation on the polish border will chance, to. ., ., , .,, ., ,, change, to. poland itself has taken around 2 million _ change, to. poland itself has taken around 2 million people, _ change, to. poland itself has taken around 2 million people, doesn't. around 2 million people, doesn't have enough resources on its own? the polish authorities are now calling for more support, a number of mayers have said they have

reached saturation point, what they are doing now is looking to other regions, other municipalities to step up and find reception centres. the way the model has been working as refugees crossing the border will genuinely stay a night or two around the border near the border and then they will recuperate, gather information and then move on a longer term accommodation or structure somewhere else in the country, the country is managing very well now but it does need support comments calling for more support comments calling for more support and they are ready to provide that. one of the things we are doing now is riding cash to refugees, that is very important because it gives them flexibility and means they can spend money on what is needed the most. the chancellor — what is needed the most. the chancellor has _ what is needed the most. the chancellor has promised to help

—— to the uk now and the chancellor, rishi sunak has promised to help people deal with the rising cost of living in his spring statement on wednesday, but warned that sanctions imposed on russia were not "cost—free." he's facing calls, including from more than 50 conservative backbench mps, to cut fuel duty. labour has backed that proposal, but urged the treasury to do more. 0ur political correspondent ione wells has more. soaring fuel prices, inflation pushing up the cost of everyday items, energy bills and national insurance set to rise in april. the list of pressures currently hitting people's pockets. and the chancellor rishi sunak is under pressure as well to help. today he said it would not be easy, but of course he would step in to help people with bills in the coming months and years. i will stand by them in the same way that i have done over the past couple of years. people can see that where we can make a difference, of course we will. you saw that with energy in particular. we know the price cap is going up in april and that is why we acted last month to announce £9 billion worth of support, £350 for most households. he did not say exactly what support could be introduced to help people with the rising cost of living. he has ruled out scrapping

the rise to national insurance in april, the government arguing this would only benefit higher earners more. but i understand one option under consideration is whether the threshold where people start paying certain taxes could be tweaked to help lower earners. some tory mps want him to cut fuel duty to help motorists and businesses. government insiders have suggested the door to further intervention on fuel prices is not necessarily shut. labour say it would support a fuel duty cut, but say this would not go far enough. what is needed is a windfall tax on the big profits being made by the north sea oil and gas companies right now and using that money to take money off people's domestic gas and electricity bills, because everybody pays a gas and electricity bill. treasury sources have downplayed speculation of any big spending announcements but some personal finance experts say the chancellor must consider the sacrifices people are making. the chancellor is asking us to suck in what is going on a little bit, bear that burden, and equally i think we need to look at him and say, "you have to bear the burden of maybe not following your full ideology to stop people starving

or freezing this winter". rishi sunak says his ideology is being a low—tax tory and he wants to cut taxes in the future, but circumstances could mean he will need to consider pulling levers he would not normally want to. completely shut. ione wells, bbc news. nearly two million people have fled the capital kyiv in the past few weeks as russian forces approach and launch artillery strikes on the outskirts of the city. but many have stayed to help in whatever way they can. 0ur chief international correspondent lyse doucet met two people joining the effort to sustain the city's morale. in the heart of kyiv, in st sophia's square, thousands of tulips. a trident takes shape, a three—pronged spear. it's our symbol, the symbol of ukraine and once more symbol of peace and of our country. for one side we want to stay in peace but for another, all of us are ready to stay

and to defend our country. and so many people have left kyiv, especially women and children. why are you still here? i don't want to go anywhere. my grand—grand—grandfathers, mothers were born and died in my city and for me kyiv is my heart. i understand and i am absolutely sure that people who have small children, they must leave because it's not possible to stay when bombs will come, putin, i don't know, on the land. when you see what's happening to mariupol and kharkiv and so many other parts of the country, does it worry you this could happen here? it's a very big pain in my heart. daytime i am a restaurateur and daytime we are cooking for our people. in the night time i'm praying.

it's my way how to support these people. also i do a lot of volunteer work with people who come from mariupol, from bucha, from irpin, from chernihiv, from kharkiv, everyone doing the best what you can do from their place. people from across the city are being drawn to this intriguing installation including a very popular rock star, 0leg skrypka. why are you here? a lot of ukrainians left the country but i think we have to stay here to support our land, to support ukrainians and support our warriors and it's my country, it's my city and now we are in the war but mostly important is the culture, and it's the action installation with flower because the flower is the symbol of freedom. so are you fighting this war with your culture, with your music? i found the channel to support emotional for people. you try to inspire them?

because music can't stop russian tanks. absolutely, we'll do it. he sings ukrainian national anthem # shche ne vmerla ukrainy # ni slava, ni volya # shche nam, brattya molodiyi # usmikhnet'sya dolya. slava ukraini! that's the power of music. he claims it can stop russian tanks but certainly it does inspire ukrainians and they are looking for inspiration at this time of devastating war, now in its first month and no sign it's going to end any time soon.

this is bbc news, thanks for watching. hello, here's the good news, the weather will stay settled in sunny all week long, that is if you like settled in sunny weather. the high pressure which is centred around: and lithuania has really spread right across the continent, around it you can see the clouds rotating just clipping western fringes of the uk and their is a case of clear skies through the night with music all night on the way, a frosty starting monday but it will be mostly sunny. here are the temperatures in most towns and cities, around freezing or even below and in rural spots of northern england and scotland, it would not be surprised if it falls to minus six celsius but that is the

exception. a chilly start across many areas, sunshine right from the word go, there will be a build—up of a bit of cloud through the afternoon and then temperatures across central and then temperatures across central and southern britain, 15—16 c, a bit cold on the north sea coast there at aberdeen, 10 celsius. i the days ahead, turning warm up much more warm weather spreading in from the southern climes all the way from spain, the mediterranean, across france and i think temperatures are likely to hit 20 celsius. we've already had 20 celsius this weekend in western parts of scotland but that was a very, very local effect with high teens and 20 degrees more widespread across this portion of the uk and in fact temperatures may spark off one or two showers across central and... a really pleasant, warm sunny day with temperature is above average.

the high pressure is then around the uk with light winds going around in most of the places themselves in centre of that high and you see it to the whole of the week and then looked bright and sunny with are turning more and settled towards the end of the month. goodbye.

this is bbc news — welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. i'm ben boulos. our top stories... 10 million people have now fled their homes in ukraine since the start of the war, more than a quarter of the population. among them — children who escaped from besieged mariupol — but are left with life changing injuries all of these are victims of russian attacks, it isn'tjust the physical injuries though, many of these children have deep psychological trauma that they will perhaps never get over. ukraine's president tells the israeli parliament his country is facing the threat of destruction and compares russia's actions to those of hitler in the 1940s. translation: they are speaking these words again, the final solution - in respect to us, to the ukrainian question.
