good evening from lviv which had been largely untouched by the fighting here in ukraine — well today if felt as if the war came right into this city, with russian missile strikes just a couple of miles behind me. they hit an oil storage depot and left several people injured. we're not far here from the border with poland, where the us president joe biden has made a major speech today saying the russian leader vladimir putin, "cannot remain in power." mr biden said the battle between democracy and dictatorship is "the fight of our generation", and warned mr putin not

to even think of attacking an "inch of nato territory." ourfirst report tonight is from our north america editor, sarah smith, in poland. this is not just this is notjust ceremony as the presidents of the us and poland marched in step together but a declaration of intent that america would do everything it takes to defend poland from what they see as a great threat from russia. visiting some of the more than 2 million refugees that are fled from ukraine into poland he praised the bravery and announced that vladimir putin was a butcher.— and announced that vladimir putin was a butcher. look at what he has done to these _ was a butcher. look at what he has done to these people. _ was a butcher. look at what he has done to these people. what - was a butcher. look at what he has done to these people. what does l was a butcher. look at what he has i done to these people. what does that make ou done to these people. what does that make you think? _ done to these people. what does that make you think? he _ done to these people. what does that make you think? he is _ done to these people. what does that make you think? he is a _ done to these people. what does that make you think? he is a butcher. - make you think? he is a butcher. toniuht make you think? he is a butcher. tonight thousands _ make you think? he is a butcher. tonight thousands gathered - make you think? he is a butcher. tonight thousands gathered to i make you think? he is a butcher. i tonight thousands gathered to hear an impassioned speech in which biden warned putin... d0 an impassioned speech in which biden warned putin...— warned putin... do not think about movin: warned putin... do not think about moving on — warned putin... do not think about moving on one _ warned putin... do not think about moving on one inch _ warned putin... do not think about moving on one inch of— warned putin... do not think about moving on one inch of nato - moving on one inch of nato territory. we have a sacred

ukraine's city of refuge has been waiting for one arrival. today, it came. missiles puncturing lviv�*s sense of safety. explosions emptying its streets. among the infrastructure targeted, this fuel storage depot where five people were injured. marianna heard the explosions from the bomb shelter where she was hiding. "how do we defend ourselves," she demanded. "we had a life before the war started, and now it's not a life, we are just existing." there have been strikes on military targets in this region before, but something changed here today. the sites this time were within the city of lviv itself. the fuel depot less than two miles from the city centre, surrounded by cafes and residential homes. this conflict has been creeping closer to lviv for weeks now. the targets are still military and strategic sites. but this one is right

in the centre of lviv. max heard the explosions from his home in the hills that divide lviv. i lived in the most peaceful city of ukraine. we had some plans for life, to travel, to buy some flat, to have a child. and i don't know when my life might be normal again. location has always been lviv�*s mantra of protection. too far west to really matter in this war. its role instead, to offer sanctuary and refuge. many here tonight are still clinging to that thought. lucy williamson, bbc news, lviv. well east of here, around the capital kyiv, russian forces are still being kept at bay by strong and determined ukrainian resistance.

0n the frontline are villages, where ukrainian troops have their defensive positions. jeremy bowen reports from one village which has been battered by artillery — and cluster munitions — less than a mile from the russian lines. the russians released these pictures of a cruise missile launch from the black sea fleet. a reminder that they have a lot of firepower left. in the almost deserted villages between kyiv and the russians, reminders are not necessary. they've been battered. this is a village about an hour's drive west of kyiv. the ukrainians claim they have the russians on the run here. it didn't feel like that. these are the remains of russian cluster munitions dropped on friday evening. why are they hitting you here?

because here many ukrainian warriors. and this is line of front. how far are the russians from here? 0ne kilometre from here. russian warriors, one kilometre from here. civilian houses were hit. so many residents have left that they said there were no casualties. kate and herfamily had only gone as far as kiev. i can say with pride that i am ukrainian. my mother, father are ukrainians. and ijust don't understand why we should go somewhere, why we should leave our houses. a short walk away, someone else's home was destroyed. the owners don't have anything to come back to. the neighbours were

fixing their house. volodymir said the russians were responding to ukrainian shelling. but he said, "our guys won't leave until they drive the russians away." ukrainian resistance derailed russia's plans. but claims they are being forced to retreat around here are premature. you can still feel some of the heat from the fire caused by the missile that hit this house. it doesn't feel at all as if anything is settled around here. i'd be very cautious about assuming that simply because the russians say they will concentrate more on eastern ukraine, that their business around the capital is finished. they were prosperous

here before the invasion, with a riding school stabling a0 horses. when this horse was wounded in an attack earlier in the month, the man who looked after it was killed. smaller incidents don't make headlines but take lives, and change them. jeremy bowen, bbc news, kyiv. while the focus of russia's invasion of ukraine has been on the frontline fighting and russian bombardments, ukrainians are also worrying about another threat, russian spies and saboteurs, trying to weaken the country from the inside. a month into the war, fear and suspicion loom large, as andrew harding reports from the southern city of 0desa. siren wails. night fall in 0desa. the wail of an air raid siren. and in thousands of homes here, the dread. notjust of russian bombs, but of russian saboteurs.

maybe even next door. a few nights ago the police came to bogdan milko's small apartment. his neighbours had reported seeing a flashing red light. maybe a signal to russian aircraft. "it was my neighbours," he says. "they are scared about security. i had to go to the police station and explain that i'm just a normal guy, i'm not trying to help the russians." as we leave his apartment, a crowd suddenly gathers around us in the dark, demanding to see our documents. "we have children," she says. "we don't want a bomb dropping here." well, that gives you a flavour of the fears here in 0desa. people really very suspicious of us, of anybody out of the ordinary. a woman there saying, "who knows who you were, you could have been russians." and those fears are being fuelled by footage like this. of ukrainian police

arresting alleged saboteurs. groups sent to plant weapons, or identify targets. this is not paranoia, says captain vladimir karina, there are russian agents and citizens of ukraine working against us. that's a fact. they are trying to distract us, to make us pay attention to the wrong places. the result is a constant wariness, a nation looking over its shoulder. hunting for signs. like this recent footage of shells fired from russian ships landing just off 0desa. locals patrolling the shore believe the enemy has been getting directions. it was on the roof of this building. a big light, shining out to sea? shining, yes. a suspicious light. and you think that was a signal for the russians? yes, i think it was a signal for the russians. some kind of signal.

and now it's almost curfew time again. the streets empty. and as in every war, fear stoking suspicion, prompting vigilance. andrew harding, bbc news, 0dessa. and that's it from me and the team here in lviv — a city very much on edge tonight after the missiles strikes here earlier on today. clive, back to you in london. the duke and duchess of cambridge have been reflecting on their time in the caribbean after a week long tour marked by protests and calls for independence from the queen. prince william said he and kate have "thoroughly enjoyed spending time" in belize, jamaica and the bahamas, but he acknowledged questions about the future, were for "the people to decide upon." here's our royal correspondent, johnny dymond. 0n the final day of the tour, a chance to see the damage wrought

by hurricane dorian, two and a half years ago. the couple toured a church that was badly damaged in a community still pulling itself together. we dedicate this plaque and this wall to their memory. it was a chance to remember those who lost their lives. a moment of solemnity. the couple's time here was warmly appreciated. just down the road... ..a change of gear, change of mood. a traditional fish fry and a culinary adventure for the duchess. applause. then, into the crowd, enjoying the time away from the formalities of the tour. prince william says this tour has brought into sharper focus questions about the past and the future. he says he has learnt a lot

and he says he is committed to serving and supporting the people of this region in whatever way they think is best. the strong suggestion as he leaves is that he is fine with the countries he has been visiting ending their link with the crown. jonny dymond, bbc news, the bahamas. a p&0 ferry is being prevented from leaving northern ireland, due to safety fears. the maritime and coastguard agency says the vessel, the �*european causeway,�* is being held in larne, because of a lack of crew training, and missing documents. the company is under pressure after sacking 800 workers without notice last week. there have been fulsome tributes to taylor hawkins, the drummer of the rock group the foo fighters, who's died at the age of 50. his body was found in a hotel room in the colombian capital bogota, where the band were due to perform.

here's mark savage — a warning his report contains flashing images. # foo fighters — times like these. muscular but melodic, taylor hawkins was the pulse of foo fighters' music. # the best, the best, the best of you... # when taylorjoined foo fighters in 1997, he was their third drummer. but his connection with dave grohl was instantaneous. he's an amazing drummer. we have a mutual respect for each other, it's awesome, you know, it works perfect. born in texas but raised in california, hawkins fell in love with the drums the first time he sat behind a kit in his neighbour's garage at the age of ten. i took to it immediately. that day, there was a lightning bolt

shot into me, and it was like... i was like, i'm a drummer, that's what i'm going to do. he came to prominence playing with alanis morissette, before volunteering his services to foo fighters. he would often interrupt concerts to perform covers of his favourite band, queen. # da—da—dum da—ay, shu—bu—dum da—ay...#. foo fighters had been due to play a festival in colombia at the time of his death. 0rganisers lit candles on the stage and foo fighters posted a short statement online saying, "his musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us for ever." without that energetic and charismatic playing, the band will never be the same. taylor hawkins, who's

died at the age, of 50. that's it. from me and the rest of the team, have a very good night. i'm lewis vaughan jones. let's bring you the rest of the day's news. in the afghan capital kabul, around two dozen, largely female protesters have held a rare demonstration calling on the taliban to reopen girls' secondary schools. the group has been condemned for making a last—minute u—turn earlier this week, and ordering them to remain shut. secunder kermani reports from kabul. open the doors of girls' schools, education is our right — they chant, while the taliban watch on. these women are incredibly brave. others who have protested against the taliban have been detained by the group. aren't you afraid being here? translation: when it comes| to standing up for the freedom

of my country and the girls who want to go to school, i am willing to die. we are here for our daughters' right to an education. without that right we are dead anyway. on this occasion, the taliban allowed the protest to continue. their last—minute decision early this week to close girls' secondary schools just hours after they reopened has been widely condemned. in most of the country, only younger girls, along with all boys, are being allowed into the classroom. translation: i want our generation to be free and to flourish, _ notjust to shed tears at home and be unable to study. when i saw the videos of young schoolgirls crying, it hurt my gut. i felt i needed to do something for them and raise my voice.

the taliban have been criticised internationally too. they say they're going to prepare a new islamic plan for girl schools. but they are facing real anger. at home and abroad. secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. the authorities in shanghai say the chinese city is too important to the national and world economy to go into full covid lockdown. the statement suggests china may be ready to abandon its zero—covid strategy, despite a rising number of infections. shanghai recorded more than 2,000 new cases on saturday. in the past, china locked down entire towns and cities following the discovery ofjust a few infections. but in shanghai, the authorities are closing down only affected neighbourhoods and relying on self—testing. formula one has confirmed the saudi arabian grand prix will go

ahead despite friday's missile attack on an oil facilty 12 miles from thejeddah circuit. f1 and its governing body, the fia, said they have been provided "full and detailed assurances that the event is secure". drivers met for several hours until early on saturday to discuss their position. houthi rebels in neighbouring yemen said they had targeted the oil facility. denmark footballer christian eriksen has scored with his first touch, less than two minutes into his return to international football. he was playing for his country for the first time since he suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed during euro 2020 lastjune. he has since had to have a device fitted to regulate his heart. eriksen, who has recently restarted his professional career with brentford in the premier league, came on as a second—half substitute in a friendly game with the netherlands.

the 0scars ceremony will be getting under way in los angeles this weekend, and this year the war in ukraine has been having a sobering impact on the proceedings. the war is affecting everything, from 0scars fashions to nominated films, which have gained a special resonance. the bbc�*s tom brook reports. hollywood's biggest night of the year is taking place more than 6,000 miles from kyiv in ukraine, but the war is on the minds of many attending the ceremony. some stars are uneasy. it's very difficult to think about getting dressed up in fancy dresses and going to parties, you know, the party aspect of it, the excess is really hard to hold in your mind at the same time as what is happening in ukraine. the nominees for best picture... the war has also changed the way in which some of the movies in the best picture race are being perceived. sir kenneth branagh believes his possible best picture winner, belfast...

we're looking to cleanse l the community a wee bit. you wouldn't want to be the odd man out. | ..the semi—autobiographical story of his own family's life upended by the troubles in northern ireland in the 1960s... we are going to have to leave belfast. ..is pertinent to the suffering in ukraine. in the world we live in, _ the kinds of appalling events that are happening in ukraine, art can play its part in that. the story of belfast, i think, lets people see how vital, even while communities are being torn apart, to try and hold onto that which bonds them and unites them. and flee, an oscar—nominated animated documentary is one film in the academy awards race that has found real relevance because of the war and possibly gained some 0scar votes as a result. it's the story of amin, a refugee fleeing from the taliban in afghanistan more than 20 years ago.

the danish director believes amin's story helps us understand the mindset of refugees everywhere, including those fleeing from ukraine. i it really gives spotlight to a very i important subject, to me personally, but also to the world, - i think, right now we are seeing millions of refugees - in europe and in the world, from ukraine, through from history and we are able to get some - nuance and perspective i to the refugee experience. i think it is really important to us. | the bravery of the people of ukraine. at awards events in recent weeks, many winners have expressed their support for ukraine. the babies in ukraine. the academy did not respond to a request for information on what they are planning to do at the ceremony in relation to ukraine, if anything, but it needs to get its messaging right. the 0scars is on a slippery slope, losing its cultural relevance in a way that has not quite hit home. last year, it got its

lowest ratings ever. it cannot afford to be out of touch with the cultural zeitgeist at a time of war. tom brook, bbc news, los angeles. a reminder of our top story. a number of powerful explosions have been heard near the western ukrainian city of lviv. they came as president biden was preparing to deliver a speech in the polish capital warsaw, accusing russia of trying to strangle democracy. a fuel storage plant was hit earlier in the day, and officials later confirmed that a defence facility was also hit. according to the city's mayor five people have been injured. no—one was killed. just hours after the attack, president biden gave a big speech in the polish capital warsaw, saying vladimir putin cannot remain in power. the white house has since denied that president biden was calling for regime change. but the kremlin has dismissed mr biden's remark, saying it was for russians
