this is bbc news — these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world: ukraine rejects a demand from russia to give up mariupol — saying there is "no question of any surrender". the eu's foreign affairs chief says russia is acting completely outside the rules of war. what is happening in mariupol is a massive war crime. destroying everything, bombarding and killing everybody. firefighters rescue people from the rubble, after russia shells a shopping centre in kyiv, killing eight people.

hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. the besieged ukrainian city of mariupol has rejected a russian ultimatum to surrender. moscow had given residents until 5am local time to give up. people in the port city have endured weeks of russian bombardment, with no power or running water. around 300,000 people are believed to be trapped there. in the past couple of hours, ukraine has said that eight humanitarian corridors have been agreed for people to leave beseiged towns and cities, but mariupol isn't among them. in the capital, kyiv, rescuers are working through the rubble of a shopping mall that was targeted overnight. at least eight people are known to have been killed. the ten—storey building was hit by a powerful blast that left a crater several metres wide. all of its south side has been destroyed, as well as a fitness

centre in its car park. just to warn you, this report from jon donnison contains images you may find distressing. amid the ruins in mariupol, they're burying the dead in the street — bodies bundled up by the roadside. "i hope there will be some sort of reburial and this is just temporary," he says. "but the military told us to put the body somewhere in the cold, and the only cold place now are our basements, but there are people in the basement, so we bury them here." ukraine has rejected a deadline by russia for residents to surrender and leave, orface military tribunals. but with 90% of residential buildings damaged or destroyed, tens of thousands of people are now homeless. translation: everything | is destroyed, you can see it yourself, there is no untouched apartment left. everything is broken. we don't know how to live on. in basement bomb shelters,

and with no powerfor weeks, families gather and do what they can to stay warm. translation: we have been in a basement for 11 days. - this is the 25th day of war. we've been counting every one of them. we hope for the best, to live as humans. the apartment has been broken, everything is broken. where can we go from the basement? we're cooking at a fire, for now we have some food and firewood. in a week, we will have nothing, no food at all. what should we do? and in mariupol, nowhere is really safe, with ukraine accusing russia of deliberately targeting places where people are sheltering. translation: in besieged mariupol, the russian air force dropped - a bomb on an art school. people were using it as a hiding place from bombardments, there there were about 400 people, peaceful people, mostly women and children and elderly people.

they are now under rubble. for now, we don't know how many people have survived, but we do know we will shoot down that pilot who dropped that bomb, like we have already shot down 100 other mass murderers. elsewhere, overnight in the capital, kyiv, russia shelling of a shopping mall and residential district is said to have killed several people, with emergency services desperately trying to help people trapped under the rubble. by first light, the full force of the blast could be seen. with such destruction, it's hard to imagine the number of people killed won't rise. and this is just a few miles from the centre of the capital. but despite the bombardment,

ukrainians are continuing to show defiance. these are protesters taking on the russian military in kherson, the only major city russia has managed to capture. and all the while, the number of refugees continues to grow. the un says a quarter of ukraine's population, 10 million people, have been forced to leave their homes. more than 3.5 million of them fleeing for the safety of neighbouring countries. jon donnison, bbc news. 0ur correspondent, jonah fisher in lviv, gave his assesment of the consequences of mariupol refusing russia's deadline to surrender. the consequence for mariupol and the several hundred thousand people living there is probably they are going to experience more of the same grim conditions they've had for the last couple of weeks.

the city is entirely surrounded by russian troops. we have heard russian troops had been moving in some of the districts of mariupol itself. there is constant fighting being reported. no power, no clean water, many of the people there have been in the basements for a very long time. some people have made it out in the last few days, but they are bringing with them really grim stories of what is happening there at the moment, bodies on the street, verd hard to get food. it's miserable. i think it was probably inevitable ukraine would reject this offer to surrender from the russians. that inevitability you mention is partly to do with a lack of trust that the russians would keep their word, isn't it? it is. why should the people of mariupol,

who have been under attack by the russians for the last few weeks, believe they are going to get safe passage out of the city if they agree to surrender? why should the soldiers who have been fighting to defend mariupol believe they won't simply be detained orjust shot if they do surrender to the russians. all of those things are part of the consideration from the ukrainian side as to why they rejected this. then of course there is the bigger picture that mariupol is a hugely significant strategic point for the ukrainians and the russians. if mariupol falls, it effectively links crimea to the parts of eastern ukraine that russian—backed forces have held for a long time. it would complete what we call a land bridge we call a land bridge from crimea to russia. you can see why ukraine rejected almost outright within a very short

period of time russian attempts to make mariupol surrender. on a symbolic level as well, if we turn to kyiv. we have just been seeing reports with images of utter destruction there, with a shopping mall being bombed overnight. this is just the latest in what has been continued attacks there, hasn't it? astonishing pictures from kyiv this morning of the shopping mall not that far from the centre of kyiv which appears to have been struck with a very large missile overnight. notjust the mall devastated, but a huge area around. i think this is really russia's way of reminding kyiv that it is very much in range. though the central part of kyiv has largely been spared so far the full onslaught. what has happened to mariupol is a real possibility in terms of what might end up happening

to kyiv if kyiv�*s resistance persists and if the russians really do decide to direct their fill do decide to direct their full artillery fire and missiles onto kyiv itself to try to effectively bomb ukraine's capital into submission. i am joined by roman skliarov — who left his home and life in mariupol on february 2a and is staying just outside kyiv. he left his grandmother, who refuses to leave her home. thank you forjoining us on what must be a very worrying time for you. i understand you left on the first day of the russian invasion. what were the circumstances around you leaving and can remember what was going through your mind at the time? i was going through your mind at the time? , , , . ., time? i remember this very clear. i was asleep — time? i remember this very clear. i was asleep at _ time? i remember this very clear. i was asleep at six _ time? i remember this very clear. i was asleep at six in _ time? i remember this very clear. i was asleep at six in the _ time? i remember this very clear. i was asleep at six in the morning, i | was asleep at six in the morning, i get a call from my friend and she told me to wake up, there was a war.

ultimatum. what is likely to happen now? —— russia's ultimatum. brute ultimatum. what is likely to happen now? -- russia's ultimatum. we must assume the — now? -- russia's ultimatum. we must assume the most _ now? -- russia's ultimatum. we must assume the most likely _ now? -- russia's ultimatum. we must assume the most likely consequence l assume the most likely consequence in mariupol is russia completes its destruction under the occupation of the rubble of mariupol, because that is how it connects russia to crimea. this is a strategically important place for russia. as you have seen they are prepared to do this at the cost of total destruction of the city and huge damage and loss to the civilian population. we city and huge damage and loss to the civilian population.— civilian population. we have been heafina civilian population. we have been hearing either _ civilian population. we have been hearing either that _ civilian population. we have been hearing either that russia - civilian population. we have been hearing either that russia has - hearing either that russia has vastly overestimated its capability. but it is difficult to know what sources to rely on. so what is the most accurate picture we have of what russian advances are like and

what russian advances are like and what they have capacity to continue to do? i what they have capacity to continue to do? ~ ., to do? i think we need to distinguish _ to do? i think we need to distinguish very - to do? i think we need to distinguish very carefully| to do? i think we need to - distinguish very carefully about what has happened in the last month orso what has happened in the last month or so and what could happen next. what has happened in the last month orso what has happened in the last month or so is that russian military forces have broadly struggled in three ways. the fundamental must appreciation of what is going on in ukraine was quite easily and skilfully dealt with by the ukrainian military. there was then a switch to a much heavier set of forces, which have proved to be not very well trained, not very well led, that have huge logistical challenges. they have really struggled to get packages of force into places of position where they want to fight, where is the ukrainian military has done very well. they first think they have not managed to do is control the air where they need to go. i think that is getting stronger. so far, the

russian military machine has performed in a way that people like me simply would not have expected. it has been pretty poor, but ruthless. however, we have to recognise just how much military force russia can apply to ukraine. we are seeing them moving people and equipment from as far away as the pacific. we are seeing them moving missionaries. we are seeing them talking about keeping this year's cycle of conscripts on. we know from syria and many other places, that russians are likely to double down and simply apply more force for longer, more ruthlessly, untilthe fuel they have achieved whichever objectives they have set themselves. we have some reports from the russian news agency, interfax, where we are hearing a russian—backed separatists with that in eastern

ukraine has said it would take more than a week to take mariupol. what is your thought on that? they think thatis is your thought on that? they think that is a realistic assessment of the picture? given we have heard of this morning how many people are there without food, water and electricity. there without food, water and electricity-— there without food, water and electrici . ., electricity. the battle for mariupol is 'ust electricity. the battle for mariupol isjust going _ electricity. the battle for mariupol isjust going to — electricity. the battle for mariupol isjust going to be _ electricity. the battle for mariupol isjust going to be hard _ electricity. the battle for mariupol isjust going to be hard and - isjust going to be hard and ruthless. the russians can continue to shell it to keep people in their basements and to kill people and to kill the ukrainian military, but eventually they are going to have too entered the city to claim it. then they will encounter the stiff resistance. we need to recognise that even when the russians announced they have taken mariupol, they are still going to be targeted by the ukrainian military and still resisted by the park population for topless is at best an occupation by sheer brute force, and those things

often proved to be hard work and often proved to be hard work and often untenable. brute often proved to be hard work and often untenable.— often proved to be hard work and often untenable. we heard from an anal st often untenable. we heard from an analyst elliott _ often untenable. we heard from an analyst elliott that _ often untenable. we heard from an analyst elliott that he _ often untenable. we heard from an analyst elliott that he doesn't - analyst elliott that he doesn't think the russian forces will be able to take year. —— analyst earlier. do you agree with that assessment?— earlier. do you agree with that assessment? ~ . . , ., assessment? what we have seen and the last few — assessment? what we have seen and the last few weeks _ assessment? what we have seen and the last few weeks as _ assessment? what we have seen and the last few weeks as russian - the last few weeks as russian forces, generally a battalion strength, supported by a lack of firepower on the fringes of kyiv. the ukrainian military have dealt with that very efficiently. however, evenif with that very efficiently. however, even if the russians assemble massive firepower, and i think they will, they will still struggle to battle their way into kyiv. kyiv is a city three times the size of manchester. it is beyond them to occupy. it is not beyond them to make it an intolerable place to live

in. the vast majority of the over three million people who fled ukraine have gone into poland and our correspondent danjohnson in krakow train station explains where the incoming people are heading to. many of them are going on to other polish cities or indeed to other european countries, the next train to leave from here will head to berlin. there have been many trains going in that direction, taking ukrainian families on to try to relieve the pressure on the accommodation here in a city like krakow. the numbers in the last few days have been a little bit lower. things do feel a bit calmer and a little bit more manageable, but still the accommodation here in the city is running out and there are questions about where people will be housed next. let's have a chat with darya, one of the volunteers here at the station. you're ukrainian yourself. but you've been you've been helping out with people arriving here. yeah, i work here and we give people a temporary placements with their families, and we're dealing right now with the big problem that we are running out of places and people are coming every day.

and right now we are giving places around krakow in the region and we are trying to find places for everyone. how difficult is that getting? where are you having to send people to? we have to send them to small cities and small towns. sometimes it's in the mountains. yeah, and people are reluctant to go, sometimes to move further from krakow from the polish border. yeah, and people are reluctant to go, sometimes to move further from krakow from the polish border? yeah, sometimes it's very hard for them to move. people come here. they are very shocked. they have no idea what are they going to do with their lives. and we will do all we can to help them. the numbers have been incredible. it's been relentless for the last three weeks, 2.1 million, i think, now from ukraine. how has it been the last few days and what what do you see in the days ahead? well, right now we have easier time with the amount of people that are coming because the first weeks it was just a disaster. we had like thousands of people coming every day.

but right now i think that they're going maybe further in europe, like they moved to germany, to other countries, and it's a little bit easier, but still not much places. how well do you think the whole situation is being managed? i think everything we can do, we do that. we do everything that we can. people get free accommodation. people are not starving. we have here food free food for them and we help with information with everything we can. 0k, thank you. we appreciate your time this morning. there is that dilemma for people really, of where to go, where they're safe, when to stop running. because although there is an encouragement to move on to try to relieve the pressure on cities like this, the natural instinct of many ukrainian families is to stay close to the border in hope that they can go home and so that they can be in touch with family. because remember, these are mostly mothers who are on their own. they've left their husbands behind. you can see people who, even though

the pressure may have eased, they are still struggling to come to terms with what happened. they're trying to keep in touch with family, looking at their phones all the time, trying to work out what's happening in ukraine. and still, they cling on to that hope that things may improve and that they can go home one day soon. we have been hearing that more than 3 million people who fled ukraine have gone into poland. that was dan johnson from cracco train station were some of them european union ministers meet today to look at imposing tougher sanctions on russia including an oil embargo. the crisis in ukraine will dominate talks when us presidentjoe biden arrives in brussels on thursday for summits with nato's 30 members. there'll also be meetings with eu leaders, and in a g7 industrial natiions format including japan. breaking news from china, where a passengerjet is reported to have crashed.

the boeing 737 aircraft, operated by china eastern, was on an internal flight from kunming to guangzhou with 132 people on board. first reports suggest it came down near the city of wuzhou, in guangxi province, on a mountainside and caused a fire. rescue teams have been sent to the scene. there's not yet any confirmation of any casualties. the flight was tracked by the flightradar24 website. this is their image showing the path the plane took. you can see how the tracking ends abruptlyjust over an hour after the aircraft took off. 0ur correspondent stephen mcdonelljoins me from beijing. what can you tell us? at the moment

that our images _ what can you tell us? at the moment that our images on _ what can you tell us? at the moment that our images on chinese _ that our images on chinese television of rescue crews racing to this mountain area, hoping that they can find survivors. i'm afraid it appears that everybody on board this flight has died. in terms of where the fight was from. if people can't imagine china, it is kind of across the bottom of the country. from kunming heading east across the country, over these mountains in guanng country, over these mountains in guangxi, on the way to guangzhou. but it didn't make it all the way, it sort of crashed in the mountains half way up there. we don't know why, china has a pretty good safety record. the last crash like this was in 2010, and before then it was quite a long time there was an emergency involving a passenger plane. just imagine how many flights

that are in china, so many people travelling by air, and it is considered pretty safe. families will be worry, especially in kunming and guangzhou, who may have had loved ones on that flight. what we are hearing on the chinese media is that all of china eastern's 737 -- 800 media is that all of china eastern's 737 —— 800 planes are being grounded now. wejust 737 —— 800 planes are being grounded now. we just checked 737 —— 800 planes are being grounded now. wejust checked before 737 —— 800 planes are being grounded now. we just checked before coming on air, and the airline does not seem to have announced that yet, but that is the report we are getting from state media. it seems the airline could be grounding all of those planes because of the worries about safety fears.

thank you, stephen mcdonell. we will come back to that in just a moment. we can get some more details on that plane crash from our corresponding, theo leggett, here with me now. what more can you tell us about the details about what seems to have happened? we details about what seems to have ha--ened? ~ .�* details about what seems to have ha ened? ~ ., �* ~ ., ., details about what seems to have hauened? ., �* ~ ., ., happened? we don't know what has ha--ened happened? we don't know what has happened at — happened? we don't know what has happened at the _ happened? we don't know what has happened at the moment, - happened? we don't know what has happened at the moment, we - happened? we don't know what has happened at the moment, we only i happened? we don't know what has - happened at the moment, we only know this plane was coming into the final stages of the flight. it seems to have descended a very rapidly. we are seeing these pictures from chinese television which appeared to show the crash site. this plane was 737-800, show the crash site. this plane was 737—800, one of boeing? next in the living's next—generation 737 models, the third generation. —— vowing's next—generation. there are about 500 of these aircraft the 800

derivative. it has a very good safety record. there are thousands of these things flying around all the time. there have been some issues in the past with some 50 cracks in an area where the wings attach to the plane, but those were picked up primarily on older aircraft. the aircraft that has gone down here it is only about six years old. there will be a lot of investigation as to why this has happened. this is not a 737 max, the same kind of aircraft we saw crash a few years ago in ethiopia, not the one at the centre of the fedora over faulty software that effectively deprived the pilots of control. this is the aircraft from before. it has a long track record, was flown during the 1990s and generally has a

good safety record. no next it will be trying to find the data and voice recorder on the aircraft and try to find out what happened. i5 recorder on the aircraft and try to find out what happened.- recorder on the aircraft and try to find out what happened. is there any sense we might _ find out what happened. is there any sense we might be _ find out what happened. is there any sense we might be able _ find out what happened. is there any sense we might be able to _ find out what happened. is there any sense we might be able to hear- find out what happened. is there any sense we might be able to hear from the authorities? is there more information we can expect to hear? we will be seeing bits and pieces coming out. some websites have details on the final moments of the flight. that is where you can see this aircraft crashed after going into an apparently very steep and rapid descent. no more concrete details about what actually happened. it was a chinese airline flying in china, which means china will take charge of the investigation, and then it is up to the chinese authorities how quickly they disseminate whatever information is found. if there are concerns about the aircraft itself, in the way it is maintained or flown

by that particular airline, you would expect action to be taken relatively quickly on order to safeguard other people travelling. this is an aircraft there are thousands of flying around the world and generally speaking it does have and generally speaking it does have a good safety record. chinese airlines do not have a bad safety record either. brute airlines do not have a bad safety record either.— airlines do not have a bad safety record either. we will get more on the details — record either. we will get more on the details of _ record either. we will get more on the details of the _ record either. we will get more on the details of the plane _ record either. we will get more on the details of the plane crash - record either. we will get more on the details of the plane crash as i record either. we will get more on | the details of the plane crash as we get it. that is breaking news we have received in the past few hours. we'll get you more on that as soon as we can. let's take it to the ukrainian president zelensky�*s latest address. as the russian army continues to encircle kyiv, the shelling continues as the people of kyiv remain steadfast to the invaders. we will come to that in a

army is trying to push them back, kyiv is safe, compared to mariupol, or places like kharkiv in the east of the country. the latest development here in kyiv, the local government introduced another 35 —— 36 hour curfew. people are going into lockdown, starting at eight o'clock today. there is probably because of the missile alerts that we have been hearing overnight as well. two missiles hit a shopping centre in kyiv, inside the city, so far eight people have been confirmed dead and casualties are still being counted. ~ ,,., , ~ dead and casualties are still being counted. ~ ,,., , . ., counted. absolutely. we mentioned the curfew that _ counted. absolutely. we mentioned the curfew that is _ counted. absolutely. we mentioned the curfew that is coming _ counted. absolutely. we mentioned the curfew that is coming into - the curfew that is coming into place, 35 hours, and how are people feeling about that because you say it is in response to our attacks, forfear it is in response to our attacks, for fear of those, but have people got some essays they can be if that

happens? got some essays they can be if that ha ens? ., , got some essays they can be if that ha ens? .,, ., , ., , happens? people from kyiv are used to sendin: happens? people from kyiv are used to spending and _ happens? people from kyiv are used to spending and sleeping _ happens? people from kyiv are used to spending and sleeping in - to spending and sleeping in basements and metro stations. —— spending time in. most placements have bomb shelters, underground parking lots, garages, things like that, everything is being used as bomb shelters and thousands of people spend every night underground. people have brought their own tents into the metro stations, they cook there, they teach their children there. all the schools are empty now, and children have to go to school online, which similar to the covid—19 times, here in ukraine, it is now underground. and as you mentioned, you mentioned feeling relatively safe in a kyiv, compared to the horrendous bombardment of mariupol, which we saw earlier. but of course, we have

seen the horrific shelling of that shopping centre which has led to people being killed, so what sort of senseis people being killed, so what sort of sense is there amongst people in response to that? has that really shaken their sense of feeling relatively safe, compared to other places? relatively safe, compared to other laces? , , relatively safe, compared to other laces? ,q , relatively safe, compared to other laces? , ., , places? the sky is the only thing that people _ places? the sky is the only thing that people feel— places? the sky is the only thing that people feel unsafe - places? the sky is the only thing that people feel unsafe about. . places? the sky is the only thing - that people feel unsafe about. there have been lots of protests. people have been lots of protests. people have asked the nato countries to close the sky in ukraine and not getting the responses that are being —— heard from brussels and elsewhere. that is the only thing that would give comfort to the population of kyiv and cities that are being rocket shelled every now and again, practically every night. and so it sounds like from what you're saying, that that is the only solution, because we have heard about the determination of places in

ukraine are to hold fast against russian advances, but is your sense, then, yourfear that russian advances, but is your sense, then, your fear that without the protection of the airspace, that cannot happen? the protection of the airspace, that cannot happen?— protection of the airspace, that cannot happen? the error tax the most dangerous _ cannot happen? the error tax the most dangerous ones, _ cannot happen? the error tax the most dangerous ones, you - cannot happen? the error tax the i most dangerous ones, you cannot... —— the air attacks. for civilians, they have no special gear to detect where the jets they have no special gear to detect where thejets are coming from. the other solution which president zelenskyy thing also mentioned in his address is to the european politicians and anti—aircraft systems that can be provided to ukraine, but now every day, it is not even clear how those would be delivered into the country. we have 'ust been delivered into the country. we have just been hearing _ delivered into the country. we have just been hearing the _ delivered into the country. we have just been hearing the latest - delivered into the country. we have | just been hearing the latest address from president zelenskyy and i would just want to ask you, volodmyr, how

to think about rebuilding, it is the time to think about how we can save more than 200,000 people that are still live there. that is a story notjust still live there. that is a story not just about ukraine, still live there. that is a story notjust about ukraine, but still live there. that is a story not just about ukraine, but about all wars, and when this all started, it was an ordinary war, and two weeks ago, all the world understood to, that they cannot beat us on the battlefield, roche understood as well, that they decided to kill us all, to make an example of mariupol, what can be from their point of view, what they can do with all of ukraine, just destroy it. all the world are saying that they are all united around ukraine, they were always ukraine, i'm sorry, but if we are always ukraine and like everybody�*s united, and we cannot save 200,000, 250,000 people, who are still in mariupol, dying from

hunger, so what can we do? and when you're saying that no—fly zone is not possible, 0k, it is not possible, but if auschwitz or other things like this are still possible in europe, in a 250,000 people dying from hunger is possible, but a no—fly zone is not? from hunger is possible, but a no-fly zone is not?— from hunger is possible, but a no-fly zone is not? leaders are meetin: no-fly zone is not? leaders are meeting to _ no-fly zone is not? leaders are meeting to discuss, _ no-fly zone is not? leaders are meeting to discuss, eu - no-fly zone is not? leaders are meeting to discuss, eu leaders| no-fly zone is not? leaders are - meeting to discuss, eu leaders will be meeting to discuss and have talks on this, but do you have any faith in them to be able to find any solution or to help in anyway? i’m solution or to help in anyway? i'm ve solution or to help in anyway? in very pessimistic about the diplomatic solution with putin. i think that they are just using this time to regroup. we see it, and by the way, even intelligence is the same thing, that they are just regrouping, and i lived in peter's moscow for 12 years, and do not trust this. —— putin's. they want a

war. and we did sociological poles, a few days ago in russia, and 86% of russian adult population is ready and supports the war with european countries. —— polls. 75% to support that war in poland. if putin has the support of this population, and it is already, you know, the third reich, in the beginning of 40s, they are really going to have a big war and for three already has started. so now, it is not the point if we will alljoin this war, you and other european countries, now it is only the question of when my how, and in which territory you will have

this war. if you join it now, you will have it in the territory of ukraine if you willjoin this world war iii later, you will have this war on your territory. that is the difference. war on your territory. that is the difference-— war on your territory. that is the difference. , , ., , ., difference. dmytro gurin, thank you for sharin: difference. dmytro gurin, thank you for sharing your _ difference. dmytro gurin, thank you for sharing your thoughts _ difference. dmytro gurin, thank you for sharing your thoughts with - difference. dmytro gurin, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us i for sharing your thoughts with us and i really feel the sense of bleakness that you feel, you really appreciate what you're going through. i really hope that you are able to regain communication with yourfamily in mariupol able to regain communication with your family in mariupol soon, able to regain communication with yourfamily in mariupol soon, but thank you for taking the time to speak to us, even in a statement the net difficult situation. we will go to the other news, returning to our top story, the situation in ukraine, we return to that in a bit but the latest stage of the covid—19 vaccine will be rolled out in england from today. the first group to be offered a spring booster will be particularly vulnerable people. it comes as covid cases continue to rise across the uk,

with around one in every 20 people infected. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes has the story. millions of people across the uk have already had up to three vaccinationjabs, credited with saving thousands of lives and easing the pressure on a hard—pressed health service. a round of spring boosterjabs to be given roughly six months after the last vaccine dose has already got under way in scotland and wales. now the details for arrangements in england have been announced. we are continuously learning about this virus, and through the pandemic and through the vaccination programme, learning how to make sure that people keep safe and keep protected. as with any vaccination, your protection does wane over time, so it's really important to get online and get booked and get protected today. the spring booster programme is a precautionary measure aimed at those who remain vulnerable to covid—19. first, it will be offered to people aged 75 and over and those who are immunosuppressed. they can book a jab

from 7:00am this morning. in the coming weeks, the programme will also be rolled out to those living in care homes, and in total will cover around five million people. in northern ireland, the department of health said it expects the spring booster vaccinations to be completed in april and may. this latest phase of the vaccination programme comes as the number of cases linked to the 0micron variant is climbing once again, a reminder that this virus is not yet done with us and still poses a threat to the most vulnerable. dominic hughes, bbc news. sajid javid is the uk's health secretary — he told us earlier that despite rising infections, he's no more worried about covid than he was a week ago. case numbers are rising. infections are rising. indeed, hospital numbers are rising. they are still way below their peak and it is also important for us, when we review this, to understand why they are rising. that is primarily due to the increase in social mixing we are seeing, after the country has opened up,

but also the sub—variant of 0micron which we know is, on the one hand, more infectious, but on the other hand we know that our vaccines workjust as well against this sub—variant. taking all of that into account, of course we keep the data under review, but there is no particular cause for concern at this point. that was a uk's health secretary sajid javid. hong kong's leader, carrie lam, has announced an easing of covid restrictions — from next month. these include ending the ban on flights from nine countries, and reducing hotel quarantine from 1a days to seven. schools will resume face—to—face teaching after the easter break. hong kong has been dealing with a huge wave of 0micron infections — recording more than a million cases in the past three months. there will be lots more on our top story, the situation in ukraine and other news coming up at the top of

the hour. stay with us here on the bbc. hello there. the dry and sunny weather of the weekend will continue to hang around this week for a good part of it. there will be a bit more cloud at times and a small chance of a shower, but overall dry and sunny for the vast majority. it's also set to become warmer. just to show you the chart across europe how temperatures compare to normal. we will see them rise quite substantially here and across the north—west. we could see temperatures around five degrees, if not more, above average. the coldest weather for europe remains across some southern parts of the mediterranean. also the wettest. we had some frost to start the day, there was cloud in the west. that means it hasn't been as cold

here, but it's a bit cloudier than we saw through the weekend. that cloud could produce the odd isolated shower throughout the day, drifting northwards and eastwards. sunniest of all, parts of north and eastern mainland scotland to north—east england, and this afternoon across southern counties of england, where we will see the highest of the temperatures. up to 17. a bit chilly around those eastern and northern coasts of scotland. into tonight, still clumps of cloud drifting northwards, showers here and there. in the clearer skies, still the chance of a touch of frost. the air is getting that little bit warmer bit by bit, so not as cold to start tomorrow morning. one or two showers around, maybe one or two developing in northern england, southern scotland into the afternoon. for long spells of sunshine, clear blue skies for many into the afternoon. we will all feel that warm water, a mild enough stock to wednesday morning, there could be some mist and low cloud by the stage around north sea coasts of the north

and east of scotland. there could be some mist and low cloud by this stage around north sea coasts. mist and fog patches. air quality is starting to deteriorate a little bit and we could see one or two showers into the afternoon. by this stage, 20 degrees, if not more, across england and wales, 18 and 19 in the north—west of scotland. 0ne thursday and friday. ——warm weather. cloud picks up a bit more across eastern coasts so it will be turning just a little bit cooler yet again. hello there. the dry and sunny weather of the weekend will continue to hang

this is bbc news. welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. our top stories: ukraine rejects a demand from russia to give up mariupol, saying there is "no question of any surrender". 300,000 people are trapped without power, food or water. president zelensky says it's a war crime. translation: over three weeks of this war, translation: over three weeks of this war. lots _ translation: over three weeks of this war, lots of _ translation: over three weeks of this war, lots of children _ translation: over three weeks of this war, lots of children have - this war, lots of children have died. it is the most horrible war in europe since the second world war. firefighters rescue people from the rubble after russia shells a shopping centre in kyiv, killing eight people. iamjames i am james reynolds in western ukraine. i will bring you all the very latest from inside this

country. a new curfew has been announced for the ukrainian capital kyiv. it'll start from 8pm local time this evening, until wednesday. a passenger plane with 132 people on board crashes in southern china. it's feared there will be no survivors. the besieged ukrainian city of mariupol has rejected a russian ultimatum to surrender. moscow had given residents until 5am local time to give up. people in the port city have endured weeks of russian bombardment with no power or running water. around 300,000 people are believed to be trapped there. in the past couple of hours, ukraine has said that eight humanitarian corridors have been agreed for people to leave beseiged towns and cities — but mariupol isn't among them. in the last hour president zelensky has made a plea for europe to stop all trade with russia. let's go to lviv and my

colleague, james reynolds. lucy, thank you very much. in the capital kyiv, the mayor has just announced another curfew. the reinforced curfew will run from 8pm local time this evening 6pm gmt — until seven o'clock local time on wednesday. hear the sirens, then 45 minutes later we get the all clear. life continues as normal as it can do in wartime. the focus remains in the centre and the east and the south of the country. there have been attacked seven nights and attacks in the north—eastern city of sumi and a ten story building was killed and at least eight people was killed. with an overview, this is my colleague john donaldson. but you might find some of the details in his report

distressing. amid the ruins in mariupol, they are burying the dead in the street, bodies bundled up at the roadside. i hope there will be some sort of reburial and this is just temporary, but the military told us to put the bodies somewhere cold, and the only cold place now is in our basements. but there are people in the basements, so we buried them here. ukraine has rejected a deadline for russians to surrender and leave orface military tribunals, but with 90% of residential buildings damaged or destroyed, tens of thousands of people are now homeless. translation: everything is destroyed. _ you can see it yourself. there is no untouched apartment left. everything is broken. we don't know how to live on. in basement bomb shelters, and with no powerfor weeks, families gather and do what they can to stay warm. translation: we have been in a basement for 11 days. - this is the 25th day of war. we've been counting

every one of them. we hope for the best, to live as humans. the apartment has been broken. everything is broken. where can we go from the basement? we're cooking at a fire. for now we have food and firewood, but in a week, we will have nothing, no food at all. what should we do? and in mariupol, nowhere is really safe, with ukraine accusing russia of deliberately targeting places where people are sheltering. translation: in besieged mariupol, the russian air force dropped - a bomb on an art school. people were using it as a hiding place from bombardment. there were no military positions there. there were about 400 people, peaceful people, mostly women and children and elderly people. they are now under rubble. for now, we do not know how many people have survived, but we do know that we will shoot down the pilot who dropped that bomb, like we have already shot down

nearly 100 other mass murderers. elsewhere, overnight, in the capital kyiv, russian shelling of a shopping mall and residential district is said to have left several people dead, with emergency services still searching for people trapped under the rubble. by first light, the full force of the blast could be seen. with such destruction, it is hard to imagine the number of people killed won't rise. and this is just a few miles from the centre of the capital. but despite the bombardment, ukrainians are continuing to show defiance. these are protestors taking on the russian military in the only major city russia has managed to capture.

and all the while, the number of refugees continues to grow. the un says a quarter of ukraine's population, 10 million people, have been forced to leave their homes, more than 3.5 million of them fleeing for the safety of neighbouring countries. jon donnison, bbc news. as we've been hearing, president zelensky has called on european countries to stop all trade with russia. translation: we are at war- for our survival, to save ourselves against one of the largest armies in the world, against missiles, bombs, artillery, planes, helicopters, that russia are ready to send. to berlin, they want to go notjust to ukraine, but everywhere. we are fighting the invaders

that kill civilians, that kill people who are trying to escape, that burn residential quarters. over three weeks of this war, already 115 children have died. the most horrible war in europe since the second world war and i am convinced you have seen all of this, but what brought you to the street, the street whose name reminds us of this uprising on the 17th ofjune1953? the uprising against dictatorship. this is exactly what brought you there, that brings us to defend ourselves, that wish to live, to live in peace in the world which is free and even and what does push russia to wage waragainst us?

the wish to break all that, all yourvalues, ourvalues because we are you, we ukrainians are part of europe and you see that we wish to be with europe, we have a desire to be with europe, which we are fighting for in the battlefield. you can win it simply in your community by your thought, by your words, by pressure on politicians, for ukraine to finally become a part of the european union. president zelensky of ukraine speaking earlier. let's turn our attention to the capital of kyiv. the mayor has enforced a reinforced curfew and shops will be closed, after that attack late at night in the capital which hit a ten story shopping centre, in which eight people were killed. james waterhouse is in the capital.

well, it's been an unsettled night, to be honest. it's the turn of kiev to be the exception. most of the country has had a 24—hour period of calm, but kyiv last night there were a series of loud explosions that could be heard from the center of the city, it caused windows to to shake. and then we saw images of of burning buildings, along with the authorities telling us that a shopping center had been hit, along with a number of houses. just to the north of us, about sort of ten to 13 kilometers north of where we are in the city, and that, as you've just said, it's clear that the russians still see kyiv as their ultimate prize. this the invading forces have long been stationed just over my shoulder in the north westerly direction. you might be able to hear the occasional thud of artillery fire. there's been a lot more continuous fire this morning. we woke up to a thin layer of smog as well, from burning peat, burning soil coming from that direction as well. so it's been quite an unsettling

sort of 12 hours for the city. james waterhouse in kyiv. let's head to moscow and join my colleague, caroline davies. how does russia see the progress of its military? according to president putin's comments at this rally on friday the denazification of ukraine are going to plan. if you had to open up the newspapers in russia, you might see images of what they call russian heroes with stories of their heroism and the fact they have been given medals for that as well. you might also hear about what is going on in mariupol and also hear about what is going on in mariupoland in also hear about what is going on in mariupol and in fact this has been described as being a humanitarian catastrophe, but from russia's side, they are saying it is about ukrainian nationalists, they are putting the blame squarely at their

door instead. going through the level of atrocities we have heard through the course of our reports this morning, talking about the fact that kindergartens have been hit, schools and maternity hospitals, saying that is the ukrainian nationalists doing that instead. what is interesting this morning, we know mariupol has said it will not surrender. this was the ultimatum plot by russia to mariupol and the ukrainian forces yesterday. ukraine has said, no, we will not surrender. if you would wash russian media, he would say a humanitarian corridor has been offered to ukraine. but what you will not hear is the fact that ukraine has said it will not surrender. some of the media channels here are almost suggesting that ukrainian forces are desperate to surrender. a contradictory message being put out. we to surrender. a contradictory message being put out. we have been t in: to message being put out. we have been trying to give — message being put out. we have been trying to give an _ message being put out. we have been trying to give an idea _ message being put out. we have been trying to give an idea of— message being put out. we have been trying to give an idea of what - message being put out. we have been trying to give an idea of what life - trying to give an idea of what life is like here in lviv, what is life

the course of the next few weeks. caroline davies and mark so, thank you very much. let's head to romania where more than 500,000 refugees have crossed the border in the last few weeks. how are things where you are? ., , , few weeks. how are things where you are? , . , , , few weeks. how are things where you are? . . , , , ., few weeks. how are things where you are? , , ,., ., are? james, this is after a relatively _ are? james, this is after a relatively quiet _ are? james, this is after a relatively quiet weekend, | are? james, this is after a l relatively quiet weekend, it are? james, this is after a - relatively quiet weekend, it has been picking up again this morning. refugee flows coming over the border. we havejust met refugee flows coming over the border. we have just met the young ice hockey players from ukraine youths, between the ages of eight and 18. they have just gathered from different parts of ukraine and were brought across at the invitation of the romanian ice hockey federation, leaving their families behind. the romanian ice hockey federation, leaving theirfamilies behind. that was one particular story we saw this morning. also, individualstories

and there was a family, a mother and four children from sumi, a place we have been hearing a lot about in the news. 0ne have been hearing a lot about in the news. one has this strange picture here and people just coming one after another, each of them with a different story from another corner of ukraine. ., ., , _, of ukraine. you have been covering that art of ukraine. you have been covering that part of — of ukraine. you have been covering that part of the _ of ukraine. you have been covering that part of the world _ of ukraine. you have been covering that part of the world for— of ukraine. you have been covering that part of the world for many - that part of the world for many decades, i wonder on your reflections on what you have seen over the last few weeks compared to what you have seen over the last 30 years? what you have seen over the last 30 ears? ., , what you have seen over the last 30 ears? . , . , , ., years? that is a big question, james. often _ years? that is a big question, james. often standing - years? that is a big question, james. often standing on - years? that is a big question, james. often standing on this years? that is a big question, - james. often standing on this border james. 0ften standing on this border in the last weeks and on the hungarian, ukrainian border, i reflect on the similarities and contrasts with the refugee crisis of seven years ago when obviously

afghans, syrians, iraqis, people from sub—saharan africa and north africa. i think some of the ngos here helping them of the same as the ones we saw seven years ago, who basically, at a time like this, mobilise and come to the nearest border as individuals, getting very organised, sorting out food, immediate assistance and so on. what i am witnessing in this particular refugee crisis is a much bigger effort of the nations and the states to get involved, the organisations, the red cross, the large church charities and secular charities all pulling together. one has a sense of home society is mobilising, notjust activists and youth. that is one of the big contrasts. but in terms of the big contrasts. but in terms of the people coming, the other big contrast is it is all women and children. i have never covered a refugee crisis which is reallyjust

women and children before. that is another big contrast. in terms of people as refugees, refugees, in my experience, whether they were from communist romania entering hungary. whether they were refugees from bosnia or croatia during the yugoslav wars, coming from the middle east or now coming from ukraine, a refugee, is a refugee in my experience and these people always need help. i am always amazed by the generosity of the host countries, the transit countries, the people who mobilise to help them. w' ., the people who mobilise to help them. w ., ., ., , the people who mobilise to help them. ., ., ., , , them. nick, have the authority is where you _ them. nick, have the authority is where you are — them. nick, have the authority is where you are set _ them. nick, have the authority is where you are set how— them. nick, have the authority is where you are set how many - them. nick, have the authority is. where you are set how many more people they can take? what kind of capacity they have? this people they can take? what kind of capacity they have?— capacity they have? this particular border crossing, _ capacity they have? this particular border crossing, we _ capacity they have? this particular border crossing, we have - capacity they have? this particular border crossing, we have had - capacity they have? this particular| border crossing, we have had four, five, 6000 a day and i think it was up five, 6000 a day and i think it was up to 8000 at the height of this. the border police have been saying they could probably cope, and that

was a rough estimate, they said they could probably cope with 20,000 a day crossing here. they are worried that if it got too bigger numbers than that, if this war where to spread, if the different fronts were to approach western ukraine which is still relatively peaceful over my shoulder here, then i think they would be needing to channel people to other border crossings. but certainly, it is not reaching capacity, you have an amazing organisational achievement here, to bring the people in quickly so people are not standing around, they are given quickly a place to rest if they need help. there is a turkish emergency medical centre, they have eight beds, which are all empty at this particular time. there is an ability here, both to absorb more people coming from ukraine, but also an ability on the other side of this area here, to channel... and this is what we are seeing, too, to channel more humanitarian and medical help

from western and central europe into ukraine. . ~ from western and central europe into ukraine. ., , . ., ukraine. nick thorpe close to the border in siret, _ ukraine. nick thorpe close to the border in siret, thank _ ukraine. nick thorpe close to the border in siret, thank you - ukraine. nick thorpe close to the border in siret, thank you very i border in siret, thank you very much. i spent some time at an art propaganda gallery this morning. and then i was struck by one man walking past me, an older gentleman in a very smart coat and tie, a bowler hat, looking like he was off to work. i almost stopped because that was the first person i saw dressed for normal life for some time. lucy. james, thank you. the vast majority of the over three million people who fled ukraine have gone into poland and our correspondent danjohnson in krakow train station explains where the incoming people are heading to. many of them are going on to other polish cities

or indeed to other european countries, the next train to leave from here will head to berlin. there have been many trains going in that direction, taking ukrainian families on to try to relieve the pressure on the accommodation here in a city like krakow. the numbers in the last few days have been a little bit lower. things do feel a bit calmer and a little bit more manageable, but still the accommodation here in the city is running out and there are questions about where people will be housed next. let's have a chat with darya, one of the volunteers here at the station. you're ukrainian yourself. but you've been you've been helping out with people arriving here. yeah, i work here and we give people a temporary placements with their families, and we're dealing right now with the big problem that we are running out of places and people are coming every day. and right now we are giving places around krakow in the region and we are trying to find places for everyone. how difficult is that getting? where are you having to send people to?

we have to send them to small cities and small towns. sometimes it's in the mountains. and people are reluctant to go, sometimes to move furtherfrom krakow from the polish border? yeah, sometimes it's very hard for them to move. people come here. they are very shocked. they have no idea what are they going to do with their lives. and we will do all we can to help them. the numbers have been incredible. it's been relentless for the last three weeks, 2.1 million, ithink, now from ukraine. how has it been the last few days and what what do you see in the days ahead? well, right now we have easier time with the amount of people that are coming because the first weeks it was just a disaster. we had like thousands of people coming every day. but right now i think that they're going maybe further in europe, like they moved to germany, to other countries, and it's a little bit easier, but still not much places.

breaking news from china — where a passengerjet has crashed. the china eastern plane was on an internal flight when it came down in remote countryside, near the city of wuzhou. here's what we know about china eastern flight mu5735. it took off at 05.16 gmt - that's just after quarter past one in the afternoon, local time — from the city of kunming. there were 132 crew and passengers on board its destination, guangzhou — a trip which usually takes just under an hour and 40 minutes. flight tracking detail suggests everything was fine, untiljust around 0620 gmt, just over an hour into the flight. the aircraft then begins a sudden, unexplained descent. it lost height at an average of 8,000 feet in a minute. that's an average vertical speed of around 145 kmh. it's possible it was accelerating downwards in that time.

0ur correspondent theo leggett is with me now. what do we know about the vertical descent and how unusual? lintiii what do we know about the vertical descent and how unusual? until the last two minutes _ descent and how unusual? until the last two minutes of _ descent and how unusual? until the last two minutes of this _ descent and how unusual? until the last two minutes of this flight, i descent and how unusual? until the last two minutes of this flight, it i last two minutes of this flight, it was a normal flight, last two minutes of this flight, it was a normalflight, it last two minutes of this flight, it was a normal flight, it took off and got to a cruising altitude and was less than an hour from its destination. then it started descending rapidly. it appears it was descending at about 10,000 feet per minute. this is well beyond what you would see in the event of an emergency descent, for example. something went rapidly wrong, we do not know what. it impacted a mountainside and everybody aboard was killed. it is important to note a few things, it was a boeing 737 800, one of the next—generation series of 737. it was produced in the mid—90s and 7000 overall have been produced and 5000 of this

variant. they generally have a very good safety record. we are in a different situation to where we were three years ago with the plane that went down over ethiopia or the indonesian plane that went down a few months beforehand. they were a 737 max aircraft, new model and software that turned out to be faulty. this is different, it is a well—established tried and tried and tested aircraft. the one involved in this incident is only six or seven years old. this incident is only six or seven years old-— this incident is only six or seven ears old. ., ,., ., , ., years old. could it potentially have been structural? _ years old. could it potentially have been structural? it _ years old. could it potentially have been structural? it could _ been structural? it could potentially _ been structural? it could potentially have - been structural? it could potentially have been i been structural? it could potentially have been a i been structural? it could i potentially have been a number been structural? it could - potentially have been a number of things, that is why it is important to let the investigators get on with their work. to let the investigators get on with theirwork. for example, to let the investigators get on with their work. for example, it to let the investigators get on with theirwork. for example, it could to let the investigators get on with their work. for example, it could be deliberate. they could be a terrorism act or something to do with one of the pilots. it could be an in—flight structuralfailure. it could be a collision with another smaller aircraft or an unmanned aerial vehicle. all of these things are possibilities. what

investigators will be doing is studying the scene of the accident, studying the scene of the accident, studying the scene of the accident, studying the documentation and the background to the flight. and eventually trying to find the cockpit data recorder and the data recorder. that will tell what was going on in the cockpit and the data recorder will have the parameters of the state of the aircraft and what it was doing in the minutes leading up it was doing in the minutes leading up to the crash. brute it was doing in the minutes leading up to the crash.— up to the crash. we have 'ust seen the pictures — up to the crash. we have 'ust seen the pictures from i up to the crash. we have 'ust seen the pictures from the i up to the crash. we have just seen the pictures from the site - up to the crash. we have just seen the pictures from the site of i up to the crash. we have just seen the pictures from the site of the i the pictures from the site of the crash and there are a huge amount of rescuers heading to the scene, are there any other eyewitness accounts circulating that could help us understand?— understand? there is a lot circulating _ understand? there is a lot circulating on _ understand? there is a lot circulating on social i understand? there is a lot circulating on social media understand? there is a lot i circulating on social media and understand? there is a lot - circulating on social media and one video in particular appears to show an aircraft descending very rapidly into wooded mountainside. it is also worth bearing in mind that in events like this you often get false videos. some people have an agenda. all of these things have to be treated with a certain amount of

could produce an isolated shower in the day and drifting away northwards and eastwards. many into north—east scotland and north—east england and the southern counties of england where we will see the highest of the temperatures come up to 17 degrees this afternoon in the west of london and 14 in the highlands of scotland. chilly round the eastern and northern coasts of scotland. clouds drifting northwards tonight with the odd shower here and there, particularly to the south—west of england. in the clear skies there is a chance of a touch of frost in the northern half of the country but the air is getting that little bit warmer. not as cold to start tomorrow morning. 0ne warmer. not as cold to start tomorrow morning. one or two showers around, drifting off in the south—west of south wales and may one or two developing in southern scotland in the afternoon. but the car breaks up with long spells of sunshine and clear blue skies for many in the afternoon. 18 degrees across parts of england and wales and up to 17 in the highlands of

scotland. it will feel warmer and a mild enough start to wednesday morning. mist and low cloud by the stage around the north sea coasts of the north and east of scotland, mist and fog patches in the morning. air quality starting to deteriorate a little bit and we could see one or two showers into the afternoon. but by the stage, 20 degrees, if not more possible across england and wales and 18 and 19 in the north—west of scotland. the warm weather continues through thursday and friday, mostly dry with an isolated shower. breeze picks up and more low cloud towards eastern coast over the weekend so it will turn cooler yet again.

this is bbc news. welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. our top stories... no surrender in mariupol — ukrainian forces refuse to give up their arms, despite an ultimatum from russia. translation: over three weeks of this war, - 115 children have died. it is the most horrible war in europe since the second world war. firefighters rescue people from the rubble after russia shells a shopping centre in kyiv, killing eight people. a new curfew has been announced for the ukrainian capital kyiv. it'll start from 8pm local time this evening, until wednesday. a passenger plane —

with 132 people on board — crashes in southern china. it's feared there will be no survivors. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's gavin. good morning. let's start with that fantastic start to the formula one season. no mercedes or red bull on top spot but ferrari. the first time we've seen that in three years. the cars have undergone the greatest changes in a generation to make races more exciting and it worked. ferrari's charles leclerc and world champion max verstappen swapped the lead five times in two laps. leclerc triumphed after verstappen and his red bull team mate sergio perez retired with just three laps left, allowing hamilton to claim an unexpected third in his slower mercedes.

afterjust one win in their opening six games in super league, richard agar has left leeds rhinos. the 50—year—old took over in 2019 and led rhinos to the 2020 challenge cup, their first trophy since 2017. assistant coach jamiejones—buchanan will take interim charge for saturday's challenge cup tie against castleford. there was a glimmer of hope for an england win in the second test with west indies but the match ended in another draw. ben stokes was on form again for england, piling on the runs. the tourists with a lead of 281 before declaring, which captain joe root says they should have done sooner — as they ran out of time to get the ten wickets needed, jack leach with three, saqib mahmood with two. it's all set up nicely for a winner—takes—all deciding test, which is on thursday. we keep putting ourselves in these positions, it won't be long before we see ourselves winning a test match here. so more of the same next week. can't ask for any more from the group, they were brilliant again, attitude was excellent. commitment throughout the whole game.

spending a long time in the field, concentration, and ability to take those chances today when there were some tired bodies flying around was a great effort. so a lot of good signs again. another british bid to buy chelsea football club has emerged, two days after the intial deadline. global investment firm centricus, which oversees £29 billion in assets and featuring several chelsea season—ticket holders, says it wants to "maintain and support existing management and will be "committed to supporting the club and its key stakeholders "to ensure its continued success." at least four consortiums have already said they have bid to buy the premier league club, which was put up for sale by owner roman abramovich earlier this month prior to the russian billionaire being sanctioned. rafa nadal�*s unbeaten streak has finally come to an end — it's a phenomenal run for the spaniard. he lost in the final of indian wells to taylor fritz. the australian open champion's run stretched back 20 matches,

but fritz ended that overnight, winning in straight sets. nadal said he suffered from breathing difficulties in the defeat — but a big moment for fritz, becoming the first american to win at indian wells since andre agassi in 2001. boris becker will stand trial today, after being accused of failing to hand over assets to settle his bankrupty debts. the former tennis star was declared bankrupt injune 2017 and is alleged to have been hiding assets and transactions worth over £4.5 million. the 54—year—old has failed to hand over his trophies including his 1985 wimbledon title, as well as silverware from his triumphs at the australian open in 1991 and 1996. and david beckham handed over his instagram account to a ukranian doctor working in the city of kharkiv yesterday. iryna shared images of the cramped basement where pregnant women and new mothers were evacuated during the first day of the russian invasion with his 71 million followers. beckham is a unicef ambassador and urged people to donate to the charity, which is trying to provide families access to clean water and food, and kits to maternity hospitals.

thanks to your donations, the oxygen generators they have received are helping newborns survive in appalling conditions. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. it is business time. ramzan is here. looking at energy today. no surprise, with the invasion, it is having a real impact on notjust oil prices in the markets but our own domestic gas and electric prices as well. the conflict between russia and ukraine has exposed europe's heavy reliance on russian energy. and while the united states has been able to call an embargo on russian oil, it's not so clear cut for europe. the continent relies on russia for 40% of its coal and gas imports and a quarter of its crude oil. earlier this morning, dutch prime minister mark rutte admitted that europe can't cut itself off by tomorrow. and the kremlin also warned today that an embargo on russian oil imports would have a direct

impact on everyone. meanwhile, germany says it has sealed a long—term agreement with qatar for the supply of liquefied natural gas. so how easy will it be for europe to wean itself off russian energy? that's a question we put to nathan piper, head of oil and gas research at investec. germany imports a lot of gas from russia already and it's trying to take steps to reduce that but it's going to take a lot longer and take a lot more than signing deals with qatar. they don't have lng import facilities in germany, so it'll be a number of years before physically they can accept those cargoes. what we need to keep in mind before the russia ukraine crisis and the fallout from that, we already had a very tight oil and gas market and the big fear, the problem at the moment is not enough spare capacity on the oil production side in particular, so it's probably good news that saudi arabia is going to continue to invest and develop further oil production capacity. last week, we told you about the sudden firing of 800 staff at p&0 ferries. its services still remain suspended

and protests continue as the uk government examines the legality of the firms actions. of the firm's actions. p&0 ferries is owned by dubai based logistics giant, dp world. before the pandemic it was responsible for carrying around ten million passengers and around 15% of all goods coming in and out of the uk. dr liz breen is a supply chain expert at the university of bradford. thank you forjoining us. i mean, how disruptive could this be if these ships don't get a move on anytime soon?— these ships don't get a move on an ime soon? _, ., ., . anytime soon? good morning. well, these crossings _ anytime soon? good morning. well, these crossings are _ anytime soon? good morning. well, these crossings are critical _ anytime soon? good morning. well, these crossings are critical with i these crossings are critical with regards to connecting the uk, ireland and mainland europe and there is a lot of freight, as you just mentioned, and a lot of passengers crossing these waters every single day, so we can clearly see there will be concerns with regards to the transportation of

perishable items between the different countries and the different countries and the different ports, but there are also concerns with regards to livestock, so certainly the northern irish farmers do seem to be concerned. with regards to timing and the unplanned nature of this, as well as the passengers and freight, we also have that disruption again with regards to our supply chains which clearly no one imagined we were going to have another major disruption in our locality. we have had the suez canal, we have had covid, we now have the russian war in ukraine and now we have this as well, so i do think that it will have a very negative impact on some of our supply chains but, hopefully, that impact is reduced if they can resolve the situation quickly. essen resolve the situation quickly. even if the do resolve the situation quickly. even if they do resolve _ resolve the situation quickly. even if they do resolve that _ resolve the situation quickly. even if they do resolve that situation quickly, can p&0 be trusted in the future? can we trust dp world, the owners, to get p&0 up and running again quickly and get our goods delivered and get passengers moving? that's a very good question and i

think, for some businesses, they may have already defaulted to other options. so certainly coming out from northern ireland, p&0 is one provider but also you have others and some of the freight and some of the passengers may already have voted with their feet, literally, and moved over to other providers so they may never come back to p&0 but, from a trust point of view, is a continued service provider, one has to hope the amount of traffic that goes through p&0, their contribution to the economy and their contribution to the local livelihood of the communities around them will be enough for their parent provider to say, actually, this is a vital resource for communities and our economy so therefore we will continue to make sure we support it. i think the unplanned nature and at the timing of it has just made it such a shock to the system, when we are trying to recover from other disruptions, wejust are trying to recover from other disruptions, we just obviously didn't anticipate we would have to be dealing with this as well. so i think they will have to work very hard to win back the trust of the

businesses and also their passengers and very quickly adjust at that, so they can reduce the damage to their reputation. they can reduce the damage to their reutation. a , they can reduce the damage to their reutation. , ., ., reputation. many thanks for your time. reputation. many thanks for your time- and _ reputation. many thanks for your time. and that _ reputation. many thanks for your time. and that is _ reputation. many thanks for your time. and that is the _ reputation. many thanks for your time. and that is the business. i time. and that is the business. thank you so much. the latest stage of the covid vaccine programme will be rolled out in england from today. the first group to be offered a spring booster will be people over the age of 75, care home residents and anyone over the age of 12 considered at high risk from the infection. it comes as covid cases continue to rise across the uk, with around one in every 20 people infected. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes has the story. millions of people across the uk have already had up to three vaccinationjabs, credited with saving thousands of lives and easing the pressure on a hard—pressed health service. a round of spring boosterjabs to be given roughly six months after the last vaccine dose has already got under way in scotland and wales. now the details for arrangements in england have been announced. we are continuously

learning about this virus, and through the pandemic and through the vaccination programme, learning how to make sure that people keep safe and keep protected. as with any vaccination, your protection does wane over time, so it's really important to get online and get booked and get protected today. the spring booster programme is a precautionary measure aimed at those who remain vulnerable to covid—19. first, it will be offered to people aged 75 and over and those who are immunosuppressed. they can book a jab from 7.00am this morning. in the coming weeks, the programme will also be rolled out to those living in care homes, and in total will cover around five million people. in northern ireland, the department of health said it expects the spring booster vaccinations to be completed in april and may. this latest phase of the vaccination programme comes as the number of cases linked to the 0micron variant is climbing once again, a reminder that this virus is not yet done with us and still poses

a threat to the most vulnerable. dominic hughes, bbc news. sajid javid is the uk's health secretary. he told us earlier that, despite rising infections, he's no more worried about covid than he was a week ago. case numbers are rising. infections are rising. indeed, hospital numbers are rising. they are still way below their peak and it is also important for us, when we review this, to understand why they are rising. that is primarily due to the increase in social mixing we are seeing, after the country has opened up, but also the sub—variant of 0micron which we know is, on the one hand, more infectious, but on the other hand we know that our vaccines workjust as well against this sub—variant. taking all of that into account, of course we keep the data under review, but there is no particular cause for concern at this point. from mobile phones and tvs, to laptops and computers — every year, we throw away millions of tons of electronic waste. from mobile phones and tvs,

to laptops and computers — but not all of it is rubbish. now, the royal mint has come up with a new way to extract precious metals from our unwanted tech — with a surprising end result. here's our science editor, rebecca morelle. it's a problem that's piling up — the electronic waste that we're throwing away. but for the royal mint, this isn't rubbish. it's a precious resource. they're taking the circuit boards from laptops and phones and placing them in a secret solution. over a series of steps, chemicals extract what's inside. what comes out is this brown powder. it's then heated for 30 minutes at more than 1,000 celsius, and the end result becomes clear — it's pure gold. we're hoping to recover all of the metals on the board, primarily gold to start with, but we're looking at copper, nickel, tin, particularly tin,

and some silver. it's set to provide a new source of materials for the royal mint�*s main business, making coins. this whole space is about to be transformed. by this time next year, 90 tonnes of e—waste will pass through here each week, and the plan is eventually for every single part of every electronic component to be extracted and reused. the process needs to be shifted from the lab to work on an industrial scale. so if you take all of the disused electronics around your home, that represents about 7% of the world's gold. that is a huge number, and really gives us the initiative and the imperative to start recycling those electronics. globally, about 50 million tonnes of e—waste is being produced annually, but only 20% is currently being recycled. in the uk, each person generates 24

kilograms of e—waste each year. that's the second highest amount in the world. scientists say we could look to other countries who are doing a betterjob of meeting their waste targets, like switzerland. one of the reasons it's working there is they have made the opportunities for consumers to take back their waste very widespread. so you could walk into any shop that sells electronics with your broken toothbrush, even if they don't sell toothbrushes, and they have to take it back. turning e—waste into gold is just one solution, but the problem is growing so fast, we need many more, and this means rethinking what we're throwing away and recognising that even our rubbish has value. rebecca morelle, bbc news. as russia's invasion of ukraine enters its fourth week, there are mounting concerns about the spill of conflict further away in the western balkans.

bosnia—herzegovina is facing a resurgence of secessionist tendencies, while attempts to normalise relations between serbia and kosovo have ground to a halt in recent years. it was in 1999 when nato forces bombed belgrade, the capital of serbia, to stop the ethnic cleansing of albanians by serbs in kosovo. this is now quite often referred to by the russian president putin when justifying the war in ukraine. well, one of the leaders who has been outspoken against the war in ukraine is the prime minister of kosovo, albin kurti. he's been speaking to my colleague nuala mcgovern. oh, well, there is definitely a hybrid war in western balkans, because there are different proxies in our region who are directly influenced and perhaps even financed by kremlin, namely serbia, our northern neighbour, which does not recognise our republic but also republika srpska in bosnia and herzegovina,

have very broad and strong ties with moscow. we are worried, but we are not afraid. we are very vigilant because it is in the interest of the kremlin to spread the war conflict elsewhere in order to cause destabilisation of continental europe towards what i believe is the aim of despotic president putin. another yalta conference similar to the one during second world war. so the yalta conference, for some of our younger viewers, perhaps or not history buffs, of where really the soviet empire was created as those talks took place between the ussr and the us over europe. but you talk about a hybrid war there, what are you talking about exactly? the regional centre of sputnik in western balkans is in belgrade. there are so many online media

who cherish kremlin and the military aggression of russian federation in ukraine and russian invasion in ukraine, and who try to belittle the liberation struggle of ukrainian people and their courage and resilience. so hybrid war is full of false narratives and disinformation. in order to keep the morale of russian soldiers and to have recruitment in western balkans. for different kind of right wing extremist organisations, in particular, belgrade, offical belgrade has close ties with moscow. gazprom owns 56% of oil industry of serbia and 51% of the biggest gas storage in southern eastern europe, which is in biernacki dvora in vulvodynia in serbia. then, ten years ago, serbia and russia had two joint military activities.

in 2016, they had 50 joint military activities, and last year they had 100 joint military activities. serbia spends almost 3% of gdp and military equipment on military equipment and its military personnel, and they have 14 mig 29. eight of them donations from belarus and six from russian. so prime minister, with what you're saying there and i think our viewers would take it, is that i think some of your fears are really centered on serbia and their connections with russia and how that might affect your country. but you will have seen moscow put across time and time again, really, that argument that the us and nato under the pretext, this is the words of russia, of humanitarian intervention and no un authorisation, unilaterally bombed serbia in 1999, followed by a ground incursion. and the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov, you know, he has often used that, that they set the precedent, the west and the us in particular,

and that it negates the value of, for example, a western alliance or nato critiquing russia's actions in ukraine. what would you respond to that? in the mid—�*90s, we had genocide in bosnia and herzegovina. in the late �*90s, 19 countries of nato got together to stop genocide in kosovo. it was second genocide in continental europe since the second world war. 19 countries reached consensus to bombard yugoslavia and serbia. it must have been very bad because 19 countries said yes to bombing one country. and thanks to nato intervention, serbian genocide in kosovo was stopped. back then, in spring 1999, we had 20,000 women being raped by serbian policemen and soldiers. 860,000 people were deported

outside of our country. 80% of the population were expelled from their homes. we still nowadays have 1,600 missing persons who are forcibly disappeared, and over 12,000 unarmed civilians have been killed. and there is nojustice for all these atrocities. nato intervened then. the prime minister of kosovo is speaking a little earlier. many see the invasion of ukraine by vladimir putin as a pivotal moment in history. the german chancellor, 0laf scholz, has called it a turning point, a monumental shift which will have consequences for many nations and how they work together. our special correspondent allan little provides his take on the global impact of this war. the war in ukraine has changed the world. we are in new and more dangerous times. the post—cold war era is over. it has been brewing a long time.

it is nearly 20 years since vladimir putin first sent troops to occupy parts of georgia. eight since he occupied parts of ukraine. he has sent spies into british cities armed with nerve agents to murder exiled russians. but the western democracies did not disengage. europe built up an unhealthy dependence on russian gas. even now, europe buys russia's gas at $1 billion a day. london became a safe place for russia's wealthy elites to park money. they built prestigious property empires. few questions were asked about where the money came from, but putin has misread the world catastrophically. first, in his view that ukrainian is a bogus identity. ukrainians have proved it's an identity they're ready to fight and die for. putin's plan for a swift decapitation of the state has failed. russia's military incompetence has been striking. most importantly, he misread

the west, believing it weakened by internal division and in long term decline. he supports ukraine, but the west is more united now uk supports ukraine. but the west is more united now than it has been since the fall of the berlin wall. the economic and financial sanctions it swiftly agreed are the most punitive ever imposed. in effect, they expel russia from the global economy. a new economic iron curtain has descended. it will plunge russia into a profound economic crisis. industries will grind to a halt. unemployment will rise. inflation will destroy people's savings. the west is now committed to ending its dependence on russian gas. there will be no going back from that. this is also a war between democracy and authoritarianism. it's not just that vladimir putin doesn't want a western ally on his doorstep. it's also that an increasingly repressive russia that locks up its political opponents doesn't want a successful open democracy on its doorstep, either.

for fear of the example it might set. in the 1990s, boris yeltsin tried to turn russia into a democracy. when that failed, putin took it back to its imperial past, aggressively asserting russia's right to defend itself by dominating its neighbors. the question now is whether this fight will go global and divide the world into two mutually antagonistic blocs. china and russia are bonded by a shared antipathy to american power. china does not want putin weakened or the west strengthened, but it will be dismayed that this is precisely what putin's war has achieved. the war threatens to roll back decades of economic globalisation. beijing does not want that, either. this is a fight between democracy and authoritarianism. it is also a fight between two conflicting worldviews. putin wants a return to something like the yalta settlement of 1945, which divided europe into spheres of interest and gave russia domination of eastern europe.

the west wants the values of the helsinki final act of 1975, which recognised the rights of sovereign independent states to choose their own destinies and alliances. this is the face that has become the living symbol of that fight. president zelenskyy has united ukrainians around a powerful and proud sense of who they are and is saluted now across the democratic world. allan little, bbc news. let's return now to the devastation in the capital city kyiv, in ukraine. in the capital city kyiv, in ukraine-— in the capital city kyiv, in ukraine. , , . , , ., ukraine. these pictures 'ust in and look at that, the i ukraine. these picturesjust in and look at that, the incredible - look at that, the incredible devastation and damage caused by shelling and a bomb overnight. this is a shopping centre in the north—east of kyiv and we know that eight people have been killed and it has been absolutely pulverised, as you can see, the shopping centre there, the cars in the car park,

windows blown out, incredible damage from that bombing overnight in kyiv. you have been watching bbc news. hello. the dry and sunny weather of the weekend will continue to hang around this week for a good part of it. there will be a bit more clout at times and this small chance of a shower but, overall, dry and sunny for the vast majority and what you lot are notices it is said to become one. if you look at the chart across europe are temperatures compared to normal, we will see them rise quite substantially here and across the north west. those red colours develop, temperatures 5 degrees if not more above—average. the coldest weather for europe remains across southern parts of the mediterranean, it will also remain the waiters. we have had a bit of a frost to start the day, was cloud in the west, so that means it hasn't been as cold here but it is that cloud which

could create an isolated shower through the day, drifting away northwards and eastwards. sunniest of all, parts of the north and mainland scotland towards northern ireland and across the southern counties of england where we will see the highest of the temperatures, up see the highest of the temperatures, up to 17 to the north and west of london, up to 14 in the north west highlands of scotland virtually around the eastern and northern coasts of scotland. tonight, clumps of cloud drifting northwards, the odd shower here and there, particularly towards the south—west of england and toured scotland but across clear skies, the chance of a touch of frost, especially the northern half of the country but the air is getting that little bit warmer, bit by bit, so not as cold to start tomorrow morning. 0ne warmer, bit by bit, so not as cold to start tomorrow morning. one or two showers around, one drifting off across the south—west and wales, one or two developing into southern scotland in the afternoon but for most, the cloud breaks have come of sunshine, back to almost clear blue skies for many and temperatures continue to creep up, 18 or 19 across parts of england and wales, 17 in the highlands of scotland. so

we will all feel warmer, a mild enough start to wednesday. they could be so missed and low cloud at this stage around some north sea coast on the north and east of scotland, one or two fog patches in the morning. air quality is starting to deteriorate a little bit so we could see one or two showers into the afternoon but, by this stage, 20 degrees if not more possible across england and, 18 or 19 in the north—west of scotland and the warm weather continues through thursday or friday, isolated showers, the breeze picks up towards eastern coasts into the weekend so it will start to turn a little cooler yet again. bye for now.

this is bbc news. welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. i'm lucy hockings. our top stories: ukraine rejects a demand from russia to give up mariupol, saying there is "no question of any surrender". 300,000 people are trapped without power, food or water. president zelensky says it's a war crime. translation: over three weeks of this war, already _ 115 children have died. that's the most horrible war in europe since the second world war. eight people die after russia attacks a shopping centre and a number of houses in kyiv. the mayor of kyiv has announced a further 35 hour curfew for the ukrainian capital... it'll run until wednesday. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who was freed after being detained in iran for six years, is due to speak publicly for

the first time since her release. we're expecting to hear from nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe in a few minutes from now. join us here for full live coverage of the press conference. elsewhere, and a passenger plane with 132 people on board crashes in southern china. it's feared there will be no survivors. the besieged ukrainian city of mariupol has rejected a russian ultimatum to surrender. moscow had given residents until 5am local time to give up. people in the port city have endured weeks of russian bombardment with no power or running water. around 300,000 people are believed to be trapped there. in the past couple of hours, ukraine has said that eight humanitarian corridors have been agreed for people to leave beseiged towns and cities,

but mariupol isn't among them. in the last couple of hours, president zelensky has made a plea for europe to stop all trade with russia. he argued russia by invading ukraine is waging a war against european values. translation: we are at war- for our survival, to save ourselves against one of the largest armies in the world, against missiles, bombs, artillery, planes, helicopters, that russia are ready to send. to berlin, they want to go notjust to ukraine, but everywhere. we are fighting the invaders that kill civilians, that kill people who are trying to escape, that burn residential quarters. over three weeks of this war, already 115 children have died.

the most horrible war in europe since the second world war and i am let's go to westminster now because we are waiting to hear from nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe. we have seen pictures of them earlier today and they were meeting with speaker of they were meeting with speaker of the house and also joined by nazanin's local mp, who has been a leading campaignerfor her nazanin's local mp, who has been a leading campaigner for her release. this is the first time we will have heard from nazanin directly, the first time since her release from iran last week. she was held for almost six years after being accused of espionage. it is something she denied and the focus around the campaign for her release was often on her husband richard, sitting beside her now, whose campaign was

very effective in getting her release. we can hear the mp speaking now. i release. we can hear the mp speaking now. ., release. we can hear the mp speaking now. . ., _ release. we can hear the mp speaking now. . ., ., ~ release. we can hear the mp speaking now. . ., . ~ i., , now. i wanted to say thank you first of all to the — now. i wanted to say thank you first of all to the speaker's _ now. i wanted to say thank you first of all to the speaker's office i now. i wanted to say thank you first of all to the speaker's office for i of all to the speaker's office for hosting this press conference and welcoming us to parliament early on and welcoming nazanin, richard and gabriella. i know a lot of people have to be thanked for this campaign because it took six long years to bring nazanin back. i think they will find lots of people, but i want to take a minute, if that is ok, to pay tribute to my constituents. my constituents here today are an ordinary family who were thrust into extraordinary circumstances and they rose to the challenge. i wanted to take...

richard is known for his relentless campaigning, nazanin is known for her immense strength in the faith of huge adversity. and little gabriella is known to be a brave soul. it was a family who never lost hope. that is why i am so pleased to welcome them to their first press conference. the reason why they are here is because the foreign office and officials worked really hard to bring them back. i thank them for that but i also want to say that i owe it to nazanin to ask questions about why it took so long to bring nazanin back and why their debt wasn't paid for so long, which we know was key to releasing nazanin. i have written to the chair of the foreign affairs select committee to act for a review into what happened

in nazanin's case. the two things i will be asking is, an incident that took place in 2013 when three iranians officials came to heathrow to negotiate the repayment of the historic debt that we owe iran, or od iran, it has now been paid. they were arrested at heathrow airport and detain. i spoke to jack straw yesterday, who said he never got to the bottom of why that happened. he said he firmly believes that that contributed to people in the iranian regime wanting to take matters into their own hands and take direct action for the payment of the debt. the second thing i want to ask is why there was a deal made last year, which fell through and the money wasn't paid. i want to know why the deal fell through,

wasn't paid. i want to know why the dealfell through, why it wasn't paid. i want to know why the deal fell through, why it took so long to pay the debt and i want to look at the wider issue of taking hostages, which iran has done. speaking on the topic of taking hostages, nazanin has asked roxanne to baz to be on the panel with us. she is the daughter of a man still detained in iran. his last known address was in my constituency, but roxanne's mp is here today. that leaves me to say, please wear a face covering if you are able to and he are not speaking. if you are speaking, it is ok. in terms then i will ask nazanin to speak and then i will ask roxanne to speak. we will take questions after that. when you are asking a question i would be grateful if you could stand up and

ask a question and there will be a roving microphone that will come to. can i finish by saying gently, that nazanin has just can i finish by saying gently, that nazanin hasjust come can i finish by saying gently, that nazanin has just come out of six years of immense trauma. if you have a very political questions, please direct them to the politician on the panel or to richard. thank you. i will now hand over to richard ratcliffe. ., ~ will now hand over to richard ratcliffe. ., ,, , ., will now hand over to richard ratcliffe. ., ~' , ., , ., will now hand over to richard ratcliffe. ., ,, , ., , ., , ., ratcliffe. thank you everyone, you don't want — ratcliffe. thank you everyone, you don't want to _ ratcliffe. thank you everyone, you don't want to hear _ ratcliffe. thank you everyone, you don't want to hear from _ ratcliffe. thank you everyone, you don't want to hear from me, i ratcliffe. thank you everyone, you don't want to hear from me, you i ratcliffe. thank you everyone, you i don't want to hear from me, you have heard _ don't want to hear from me, you have heard from _ don't want to hear from me, you have heard from me plenty in these last six years— heard from me plenty in these last six years and it is nice to be retiring, _ six years and it is nice to be retiring, in— six years and it is nice to be retiring, in that sense. it has been a long _ retiring, in that sense. it has been a long struggle. yeah, i am immensely pleased and proud of my wife, proud — immensely pleased and proud of my wife, proud to have her home and proudly— wife, proud to have her home and proudly start a new chapter and get to be _ proudly start a new chapter and get to be a _ proudly start a new chapter and get to be a normal family again. two things— to be a normal family again. two things i_ to be a normal family again. two things i wanted to say, there are lots of— things i wanted to say, there are lots of thank youse to say, a bit like a _ lots of thank youse to say, a bit like a green's speech at a wedding. so thank—

the line. it wasn'tjust to what we could do to get her over the line. it wasn't just simple outrage, there was more going on and our story, you never know what you don't know. i think my advice to any family is to follow your gut and to be authentic about it. my gut told me that this was outrageous and crazy and there must be something else going on and to speak out about it. it didn't tell me to do it on day one. day one, i was bewildered but, once i did, i did and it was tough for nazanin's father, but his gut told him not to stir up a hornets nest and he didn't feel it was particularly sensible of his son—in—law to stir it up. it is not like we got her out in six weeks, we got her out in six years. i am eternally grateful to everyone involved in getting her out, some

people who are in this room, you know, because our life can start again. there were bumps along the way, it might have happened differently, it happened at this way for us and i hope it happens soon for us and i hope it happens soon for roxanne's dad. this is a question, you know there are other dual nationals detained in iran and you wanted to retire from campaigning and speaking out for others, orare campaigning and speaking out for others, or are you going to carry on campaigning for them? the short answer is nazanin wants to come home to a husband and normal life and not a professional campaigner and life and not a professional campaignerand i life and not a professional campaigner and i think, life and not a professional campaignerand i think, i mean, yeah, every family battles in their own way but we are all a part of a

club that no one wants to belong to and we do all care for each other and, behind the scenes, all help each other. imperfectly, like all things in life. and i think, for me, we will see what happens. if there is an inquiry, there were various things we were in the middle of with campaigning that we might finish off and carry on, things like the magnitsky sanctions that are a collective effort that will probably calm down a bit with our involvement, but won't disappear. but, no, myjob is to recover and for us to be a normal family again, it is not going to be sitting in front of you guys for years to come. could i go to the lady there, please? could i go to the lady there, lease? . . could i go to the lady there, lease? , , ., , please? test set from five news, it is wonderful— please? test set from five news, it is wonderful to _ please? test set from five news, it is wonderful to see _ please? test set from five news, it is wonderful to see you _ please? test set from five news, it is wonderful to see you home - please? test set from five news, it is wonderful to see you home and. is wonderful to see you home and wonderful— is wonderful to see you home and wonderful to see richard with a big smile _ wonderful to see richard with a big smile on— wonderful to see richard with a big smile on his face because we have all seen _ smile on his face because we have all seen him in different circumstances. i wonder,

conversations you have heard me say on your shows, on others, the government needs to be brave and being brave also means being tough. that's not a conversation to have right now but i think, in fairness to the foreign affairs committee review, should they choose to do one, i think that would be a valuable way to explore it because there are no easy answers to this and my view has had a lot of mileage. not everyone agrees. and, actually, you know, how does one deal with tricky policy questions? it takes a village, just like getting nazanin home so i think it is worthwhile having that conversation in a brave, open and honest way and we will see where it takes us. , _, ,. ., , ., takes us. very conscious of time, i am keeping _ takes us. very conscious of time, i am keeping them _ takes us. very conscious of time, i am keeping them for _ takes us. very conscious of time, i am keeping them for very - takes us. very conscious of time, i am keeping them for very long. i takes us. very conscious of time, i l am keeping them for very long. the gentleman at the back was very eager and then there are three more. thea
