this is bbc news, i'm nancy kacungira with the headlines. in ukraine, evidence of intense fighting, as russian troops retreat, with civilians killed in the fighting. this is more thanjust a collection of terrible deaths, this is a crime scene because under the laws of war, civilians are supposed to be protected. russia says ukrainian helicopters attacked an oil depot in russian territory. ukraine has denied it's behind the attack. amazon is beaten by workers in new york, as they vote in favour of a trade union — a first for amazon in the us. millions of people in the uk are hit by the biggest rise in energy prices, in living memory. i'm scared to see how that is going

to go, so am i going to be able to afford to eat, wash my pots, and also have my heating on? and the draw is announced for the 2022 world cup in qatar. we'll bring you news of the groups in the next half hour. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk, on pbs in the us or around the world. in ukraine, the bbc has found evidence that russian forces have been forced to pull back from positions they held at the start of their invasion, five weeks ago. russian armour has been heading west out of the capital kyiv, and a bbc team gained access to one area, just hours after their retreat. a stretch of the e—iio highway

was where shocking images from the early days of the war emerged — showing russian troops firing on civilians trying to escape. jeremy bowen and his team have now reached the scene of the attack, and found evidence that raises the possibility that war crimes may have occurred. a warning, his report contains some graphic and distressing images. on a stretch of road that runs between two villages with names that translate as "dream" and "sweetheart" is all the savagery and waste of war. ukrainian forces had just recaptured it, their troops moving in after a heavy bombardment from their artillery. this was only a few hours after the russian retreat. in the early hours of this morning, this was recaptured? absolutely correct. so, basically, around 2am today, our reconnaissance team report that they start to see movement. oleksandr, a ukrainian volunteer who is back home

from england to fight, showed a position where a russian tank had been dug in. so that is where the russian tank was and that is exactly where he... this is the line of fire, that's how they shoot. on the 7th of march, oleksandr's drone unit filmed the tank in action. the drone showed civilians trying to get to kyiv to escape the russians. and then, they saw the tank. one of the cars was forced to stop. the driver tried to show he was harmless. and the russians shot him dead. they also killed his wife. the dead couple were maksim and his wife, ksenya. they were travelling with their six—year—old son and a friend, who both survived. she said maksim had been shouting they were with a child when he was killed. almost four weeks later, maksim's badly burned body still lies next to the hulk

of their car. ksenya's remains are inside. her mouth is open, as if in a scream. the car and the back seat are riddled with bullets. the vehicle and their bodies were not burnt when they were killed. the hypothesis is that russian soldiers tried to destroy the evidence of what they had done. the drone operator who filmed their death said the russians must have known maksim's car was not a threat. so they were trying to say that they were civilians? yes, yes, they know it. you can see it, the whole car is civilians, not an army car, and they shoot it. in the woods near the road, there is evidence the russians left in a hurry. you can see the place where, in the trees, the russians were living. there is a dug—out. there's beer bottles. it's like the marie celeste, half—finished meals. they were here for a month.

the camp is full of the soldiers�* rubbish. on a front line, that is usually the sign of an ill—disciplined unit. they tried, unsuccessfully, to hide another tank in the trees. that was punished by the ukrainians, who destroyed it. a much bigger question is whether there will be a reckoning for what happened on the highway. maksim and ksenya were not the only ones who were killed near the tank, dug into the roadside. more bodies here? yes. one, two, three bodies, ithink. yes. you're absolutely right. in a couple of hundred yards, with oleksandr from the ukrainian army, we counted 11 other dead bodies. it's ukrainian. three were wearing recognisable ukrainian military uniform. the others wore civilian clothes. some of the dead were piled up and surrounded by tyres. they deliberately burned them.

they set on fire to hide their... to hide what they did. in the desolation are a mass of questions about who they were and how they were killed. it's hard to imagine the fear these people must have gone through in the last few moments of their lives or, indeed, the anguish survivors, families, must be feeling right now. but this is more than just a collection of terrible deaths. it's a crime scene. because under the laws of war, civilians are supposed to be protected. we drove to the next village to confirm a ukrainian claim that they had destroyed more russian tanks. the russian armour was broken and, except for soldiers, the village was deserted and still. the russians could be redeploying to the eastern battlefields, butjust a few hours after they had left this strategic area close

to the capital, it was clear they were being forced out. many civilians are mourning relatives and friends they say were killed by russian troops. as and when they retreat, they might leave behind more evidence that could add up to war crimes. jeremy bowen, bbc news, outside kyiv. aid workers have once again been unable to take vital supplies �*s top security official has denied they were behind an attack of an oil depot. russia claimed it was caused by missiles by two ukrainian helicopters. the kremlin says the

incident won't help the ongoing negotiations between the two sides. for more on russia's military strategy, i am joined for more on russia's military strategy, iam joined byjohn parachini, a defence researcher with the rand cooperation. let's start with that allegation that we have heard today that ukrainians carried out an attack in russia.— out an attack in russia. well, if it is true, it — out an attack in russia. well, if it is true. it is _ out an attack in russia. well, if it is true. it is a _ out an attack in russia. well, if it is true, it is a bold _ out an attack in russia. well, if it is true, it is a bold move - out an attack in russia. well, if it is true, it is a bold move on - out an attack in russia. well, if it is true, it is a bold move on partl is true, it is a bold move on part of the ukrainians and likely to boost the morale of the ukrainian forces. but it is not clear, we will not know for days, maybe weeks, whether it is actually the case, it could very easily be a full slack operation part of the russians or could be an industrial action, russians do not have a very good track record of industrial actions. it is possible that the fuel depot

ignited by accident. so, there is a lot of unknowns still on this case. in terms of what we do know about the way the war is going and the way ukrainians are fighting back, seeming now to push the russian forces away from the capital kyiv for instance what do you make of the most recent developments? weill. for instance what do you make of the most recent developments?- most recent developments? well, if indeed it is the _ most recent developments? well, if indeed it is the case _ most recent developments? well, if indeed it is the case that _ most recent developments? well, if indeed it is the case that the - indeed it is the case that the ukrainians did attack this fuel depot and they denied it, it is a strategically interesting manipulation and uncertainty. and thatis manipulation and uncertainty. and that is what you really want your adversary, guessing as to what you are going to do next. russia is clearly repositioning its forces, whether that in itself means it is engaged in a fake retreat only to further attack or not is not clear. they clearly do continue to panel

several ukrainian cities in an inhumane fashion. —— panel several ukrainian cities. inhumane fashion. -- panel several ukrainian cities.— ukrainian cities. russia has said this alleged _ ukrainian cities. russia has said this alleged attack— ukrainian cities. russia has said this alleged attack will- ukrainian cities. russia has said this alleged attack will not - ukrainian cities. russia has said this alleged attack will not help| this alleged attack will not help the peace negotiations butjust how well have those in the peace negotiations been going anyway? that is a iood negotiations been going anyway? t�*isgt is a good question, the russian seem to have been stalling in these negotiations. it is a bold claim on their part, that they are shelling civilian areas, including hospitals and schools and killing civilians as they try to escape, to say that that is not affecting negotiations. if indeed they ukrainians did strike this fuel depot, that is really quite different than what the russians are striking so i doubt it will have much of an impact on negotiations.— will have much of an impact on neiotiations. ., ~ , ., , . negotiations. thank you very much for talkini negotiations. thank you very much for talking to _ negotiations. thank you very much for talking to us _ negotiations. thank you very much for talking to us that _ negotiations. thank you very much for talking to us that it _ negotiations. thank you very much for talking to us that it was - negotiations. thank you very much for talking to us that it was good . for talking to us that it was good to get your views, john parachini from the rand corporation.

aid workers have once again been unable to take vital supplies into the besieged ukrainian city of mariupol and rescue civilians trapped there. the international committee of the red cross said several vehicles had been on their way but couldn't enter the port because conditions made it impossible. they will try again tomorrow. there was hope they would be a ceasefire. that would have been one small ceasefire for one part of one day but as we had seen even that could not be achieved and the icrc has said they will hopefully try

again tomorrow. elsewhere, we still see fighting around places like kyiv, the ukrainian capital, around place like china cave in the north where russia had said at the start of this week that they would start to pull away from there. —— churni heav. we have also seen some ukrainian pushback, or so it would appear. another town on the outskirts of kyiv, may has come out and say they have repelled russian forces. it is always worth saying that it forces. it is always worth saying thatitis forces. it is always worth saying that it is very difficult to know for sure what is happening on the ground, we hear these reports from local mayors and local governors, it is often very difficult to work out the truth of what is going on. certainly the feeling here in ukraine when you speak to people under streets in places like lviv, they feel that there is a sense that there is a ukrainian pushback going on but we have to try and establish of course is how that reflects what is going on on underground. liter?

is going on on underground. very iood is going on on underground. very good reminder— is going on on underground. very good reminder though. and is going on on underground. very good reminderthough. and in terms good reminder though. and in terms of what we are seeing on the ground when it comes to places like mariupol where 70 people are stranded, when it comes to the military strategy around keeping those people away from safe accusations, what is going on there, why has it not been possible to get people out through humanitarian corridors? ., , ., people out through humanitarian corridors? . , ., , people out through humanitarian corridors? ., , ., , , people out through humanitarian corridors? . , , corridors? that is a very, very good iuestion. corridors? that is a very, very good question- and _ corridors? that is a very, very good question. and you _ corridors? that is a very, very good question. and you would _ corridors? that is a very, very good question. and you would think, - question. and you would think, wouldn't you, that in a situation like this, as has happened in conflicts before, when it something fundamental, like evacuating civilians from an area like that that some sort of arrangement would be made. but throughout this conflict over the last few weeks, we have seen these humanitarian corridors be proposed and then we have seen firing continue. we had at the start of the week that ukraine said they were stopped trying to do it because they had intelligence information that russia would try to

shoot, shell, bomb fleeing civilians. a lot of it, i think, is about the battle, particularly between russian and ukrainian forces around mariupol, neither wants to stand down, neither wants to stand back but as you quite rightly identify, there are tens of thousands of civilians who are living in the most appalling conditions. i was talking to one woman today who was in the theatre in mariupol when it was bombed, she talked about playing with her children, they did manage to get out of there but she talked about seeing bodies on the roadside as they left, parts of bodies, bodies with shell holes in them and she talked about hiding her children's eyes as they drove past that so they wouldn't have to see. they really should see, and everybody you speak to diplomatically and internationally, they say they should be a way to get those people out. the icrf say they will try again tomorrow but for those people, they should really be at the forefront of people's mind at

the moment, at the forefront of efforts to try to have a brief ceasefire so they don't have to suffer as they are right now. anna foster, suffer as they are right now. anna foster. thank _ suffer as they are right now. anna foster, thank you _ suffer as they are right now. anna foster, thank you very _ suffer as they are right now. anna foster, thank you very much - suffer as they are right now. anna foster, thank you very much for. foster, thank you very much for joining us from lviv in western ukraine. amazon workers in new york have voted to form their first union in the united states. it's a significant moment for a company that has been opposed to an organised union within its massive workforce. our business correspondent samira hussain has more. amazon is an absolute juggernaut in terms of its retailing might, and its overall economic might. in america, amazon employs more thani million people, and since the company's inception in 1994, it has strongly pushed against any organised labour unions. but, you know, during the covid—i9 pandemic, you know, the plight of workers had really been exacerbated, and so this one individual started a union

and pushed to have a union in one amazon warehouse in staten island, new york, and today he managed to clinch a victory, something that other amazon warehouses have not been able to do. the draw for this year's men's world cup has been made in doha, and it's thrown up some fascinating fixtures. england has drawn iran and the usa in group b — the other place could be a qualifier such as scotland or wales. and former winners germany and spain have both been drawn together in group e withjapan. so, what does the draw mean for south american teams? football journalist tim vickery joins us from rio.i. thanks forjoining us to talk about this. i saw you were commenting on brazil's drawl, is a bit of a, well, we meet again.— brazil's drawl, is a bit of a, well, we meet again. tell us a bit about that. it we meet again. tell us a bit about that- it has _ we meet again. tell us a bit about that. it has been _ we meet again. tell us a bit about that. it has been 20 _ we meet again. tell us a bit about that. it has been 20 years - we meet again. tell us a bit about that. it has been 20 years since i that. it has been 20 years since south america won the world cup.

ever since then, ever since brazil won in 2002, every campaign have ended when they have come up against a western european side in the knockout stages so both brazil and argentina who are building towards this world cup with terrific confidence, they know that the group stages are about are getting through, and argentina have a very accessible drawl, saudi arabia, mexico, poland, argentina balkan did in themselves the favourites in all three of those games. brazil have two teams they met four years ago in russia, serbia, and switzerland, and when they met eight years ago in brazil, cameroon. they were held by switzerland, they beat serbia and cameroon in relative comfort and they will expect something pretty similar, although that group could turn out to be stiffer than it looks on paper to the brazilian public but suddenly brazil are favourites to qualify from their group, argentina favourites to qualify from their

group, but they know the real test will come afterwards against the western europeans in the knockout stages. western europeans in the knockout staies. �* ., western europeans in the knockout staies. �* . ., , ., stages. and are there any other south american _ stages. and are there any other south american teams - stages. and are there any other south american teams that - stages. and are there any other south american teams that you | stages. and are there any other- south american teams that you will be keeping a sharp eye on? uruguay, it is a tiny country, _ be keeping a sharp eye on? uruguay, it is a tiny country, pop _ be keeping a sharp eye on? uruguay, it is a tiny country, pop legend - be keeping a sharp eye on? uruguay, it is a tiny country, pop legend 3.5 i it is a tiny country, pop legend 3.5 million, but they can sicily punch above their weight. they have a drawer of old friends, they play portugal, and south korea and ghana who they beat en route to the semifinals eight years ago. ghanaians might have happy memories of that game. that to me looks on paper like the most difficult group of the eight. all four teams in uruguay�*s group will think that they have a chance of qualifying, uruguay will have to dig deep but when you have to suffer most, that is when the uruguayans seem to enjoy it most. it the uruguayans seem to en'oy it most. . ., , ., , most. it will certainly all be interesting _ most. it will certainly all be interesting to _ most. it will certainly all be interesting to watch, - most. it will certainly all be interesting to watch, tim . most. it will certainly all be - interesting to watch, tim vickery, thank you very much. the biggest rise in energy

prices in recent history has come into effect in britian just as millions of households are dealing with a surge in the overrall cost of living. car and council taxes, as well as water bills, for many, have also gone up today. however, there has been a rise in the national living wage to £9.50 an hour. our consumer affairs correspondent, colletta smith, has been finding out how some households are trying to cope with the rising cost of living. it's costing me so much money. i'm scared to see how that's going to go. so am i going to be able to afford to eat, wash my pots, and also have my heating on? winston doesn't spend big. his state pension has been enough until now. but charges for his prepayment meter are leaping up, while his pension is not. that's going to cost me £20 a weekjust for gas. and where are you getting that money from? well, i'm not. that's the whole point, i'm not. you know, the state pension that we get at the moment does not cover what i need. you know, i was stood here the other

day washing up and i was thinking about my grandchildren, and i'm going to tell you the truth, tears came to my eyes about how the future's going to be for these children. if we don't try and save some money for our grandchildren now, if we can, you know, then they're going to have nothing. at westminster primary school in bradford, they've now started collecting blankets, dressing gowns and hot water bottles to give out to pupils. we're totally expecting that as the energy crisis really bites, that more of our families will be pushed into a poverty situation and, therefore, the children will be coming to us having maybe not eaten a warm meal every day, that may be coming from a cold home or not slept properly, and the impact on that then for us with their education is quite extreme. one, two, three, four, five... the government are offering some help — by knocking £150 off most council tax bills in england, and then lending an extra £200

in october, which will be paid back through your energy bills over the next five years. but that still only covers half of the increase in a typical household's energy bill. energy prices are going to affect everybody, but the people for whom it's worst are the people on low incomes, on fixed incomes. academics crunching the numbers are worried about the long—term impact. so, the government say they have offered some help to people and they have done what they can. i think it's fair to say that the council tax rebate will help people. these energy price rises come in a context. they come in a context where it's going to mean less money available for other goods, but the prices of those are going up too. so people on the lowest incomes definitely needed some support and it's regrettable that the chancellor chose not to do so in his spring statement. the government say they will monitor bills into the autumn and will consider further support, if needed. although the minimum wage is increasing today,

for this mum of three, a lot of her other bills are increasing as well. so are lots of other bills. there's more chances of us going into debt with the rises of all the electricity, water bill, the council tax. everything is having a rise, plus the petrol. if you're struggling to pay, then it's important to contact your supplier straightaway and get help from a debt advice charity. in homes across the country, lights are going off to keep the costs down. colletta smith, bbc news. sri lanka s president has declared state of emmergency a day after a public protest turned violent. the measure allows him to deploy the military and gives security forces sweeping powers. last night, thousands of people gathered outside the president's residence, to protest against power cuts and a shortage of fuel and other essential items. new figures suggest covid—i9 infections in the uk have hit a record high. the office for national statistics says it estimates nearly

five million people had the virus in the week ending to the 26th march, compared with 4.3 million the week before. the new data comes as free covid testing ends, for most people in england. our health editor, hugh pym reports. apologies, no report there. a medical break through is yielding encouraging results, for hundreds of people in england, with type i diabetes. they're testing a so—called artificial pancreas, which automatically regulates levels of insulin in their body. the system is already delivering far better diabetes control, minimising the risks of high and low blood sugar levels, that can lead to serious complications. our medical editor, fergus walsh has more. just going to pull this down, just do your height. six—year—old charlotte from lancashire is one of 400,000 people in the uk with type i diabetes. can i see? of course. her body can't make insulin, the hormone which regulates blood sugar levels. you can give my hand a bit of a squeeze on this side. as part of a trial, she has a sensor on her arm which continuously

monitors her blood glucose and sends readings to this pump, which automatically delivers the insulin she needs. it's had such a massive impact. prior to having the loop, everything was manual. we had to, we would be up all night, some nights, you know, every hour, every two hours to do finger pricks, whereas now she can be the social child she was before, and that's, thatjust makes me so happy. what is the the best thing...? it is known as a hybrid closed loop system, a sort of artificial pancreas. i don't have to do finger pricks or needles any more. and it keeps her blood sugar from going too high or too low. i think it's absolutely fantastic. i've been practising for 25 years in children's diabetes, and it is a game—changer. to be able to improve the quality of life, to be able to see that most

of the blood glucose readings are within the target range is very exciting. so the sensor's on my arm and they loop back to each other. yasmin, from south london, is astounded how much her blood sugar levels have stabilised using the new technology. so it is liberating? definitely. there is nothing i can't do, there is no situation now that makes me anxious or scared. i really feel like, before, i really could have been at risk of some of those long—term, especially the kind of heart stuff and things like that, whereas now, i don't really see that happening. good boy, wallace. if blood sugar levels are not kept under control, diabetes patients risk long—term damage to their heart, kidneys, eyes and nerves. that is why this trial matters. if successful, it could mean patients like yasmin have longer and healthier lives.

fergus walsh, bbc news. stay with bbc news. hello there. it'll still be on the cold side this weekend, not quite as cold as it has been. and we should have fewer showers around, as well. now we've still a wintry look to the weather in some parts of the country, particularly here in kent, mostly from the snow that we had much earlier in the day and from overnight. most of the showers have been falling as rain, sleet, or some hail, there hasn't been as much snow falling today. seeing some snow over the hills of western scotland, and we could see a mixture of rain and snow coming into wales and the far southwest of england. still some showers for northern ireland. elsewhere, though, clearer skies with fewer showers dying back towards the north sea coast, where we could have icy patches. so a frost tonight scotland, much of england — nowhere near as cold as it was last night, though, for northern

ireland and wales. here we should see the back of that wet weather first thing, and then, a fair bit of sunshine to start the day. we will see the cloud bubbling up again, and that will lead to a scattering of showers — most of those, i think, will be across england and wales, not as many as we had today, probably not as heavy either. and for much of scotland and northern ireland, it will be dry. the winds will be lighter everywhere, temperatures just sneaking up a little bit higher to around 9—10 celsius. now we're seeing fewer showers because we've got higher pressure across the uk, and it's changing the wind direction a bit, as well. that weather system, though, will change the weather for scotland and northern ireland. early sunday will start frosty widely, could be down to minus 4—5 in quite a few places. we'll see the cloud increasing in scotland and northern ireland, rain coming down from the north later on. cloud will tend to increase across england and wales, probably spread out a little bit. there could be 1—2 showers, but not as many showers on sunday. many places in england and wales will be dry with some sunshine at times, and those temperatures continuing to climb a little bit higher to around 10—11 celsius. that weather system, though, bringing the rain into scotland and northern ireland, pushes south overnight. and on monday, we're

in between those two fronts. we're in what we call a warm sector — that's warmer air, soft and cloudy air — and certainly looks cloudy on monday. we've got rain and drizzle at times, and it will be windy, winds could be touching gale force in scotland for a while. we should start frost—free, though, actually on monday morning, and temperatures are hovering at around 13—14 celsius for much of the day. looking further into next week, it's still not particularly warm, just not as cold as it has been. more unsettled, though, often windy with some rain or some showers.

hello. i'm shaun ley. welcome to the programme which brings together newspaper columnists from the uk with foreign correspondents who write, blog and broadcast to audiences in their home countries from the dateline: london. here in the studio are: stefanie bolzen, uk and ireland correspondent for germany's welt media group. polly toynbee, who writes a weekly column for the british newspaper, the guardian. henry chu, deputy news editor at the la times in the united states.

welcome to all of you. on the home front during world war two, posters admonished civilians �*careless talk costs lives'. could it in this war, too? us presidentjoe biden's howl of anger in warsaw last weekend — "for god's sake, this man cannot remain in power!" — was greeted with horror by america's allies. they fear that if vladimir putin thinks regime change is nato's ambition, the chance of a negotiated peace will be lost. on the russian side this week, careful, deliberate callibrated talk — talk of "a decision to radically, by a large margin, reduce military activity in the kyiv" area. more of that in a minute. let us start with the news that has been around affecting germany but other european countries as well over the last couple of days. was there a threat by putin to switch off the gas if he did not get paid in roubles? ., , ., , roubles? for the time being he does not look like — roubles? for the time being he does not look like he _ roubles? for the time being he does not look like he will _

hello there. it'll still be on the cold side this weekend, not quite as cold as it has been. and we should have fewer showers around, as well. now we've still a wintry look to the weather in some parts of the country, particularly here in kent, mostly from the snow that we had much earlier in the day and from overnight. most of the showers have been falling as rain, sleet, or some hail, there hasn't been as much snow falling today. seeing some snow over the hills of western scotland, and we could see a mixture of rain and snow coming into wales and the far southwest of england. still some showers for northern ireland. elsewhere, though, clearer skies with fewer showers dying back towards the north sea coast, where we could have icy patches. so a frost tonight scotland, much of england — nowhere near as cold as it was last night, though, for northern ireland and wales. here we should see the back of that wet weather first thing, and then,

a fair bit of sunshine to start the day. we will see the cloud bubbling up again, and that will lead to a scattering of showers — most of those, i think, will be across england and wales, not as many as we had today, probably not as heavy either. and for much of scotland and northern ireland, it will be dry. the winds will be lighter everywhere, temperatures just sneaking up a little bit higher to around 9—10 celsius. now we're seeing fewer showers because we've got higher pressure across the uk, and it's changing the wind direction a bit, as well. that weather system, though, will change the weather for scotland and northern ireland. early sunday will start frosty widely, could be down to minus 4—5 in quite a few places. we'll see the cloud increasing in scotland and northern ireland, rain coming down from the north later on. cloud will tend to increase across england and wales, probably spread out a little bit. there could be 1—2 showers, but not as many showers on sunday. many places in england and wales will be dry with some sunshine at times, and those temperatures continuing to climb a little bit higher to around 10—11 celsius.

that weather system, though, bringing the rain into scotland and northern ireland, pushes south overnight. and on monday, we're in between those two fronts. we're in what we call a warm sector — that's warmer air, soft and cloudy air — and certainly looks cloudy on monday. we've got rain and drizzle at times, and it will be windy, winds could be touching gale force in scotland for a while. we should start frost—free, though, actually on monday morning, and temperatures are hovering at around 13—14 celsius for much of the day. looking further into next week, it's still not particularly warm, just not as cold as it has been. more unsettled, though, often windy with some rain or some showers.
