this is bbc news. the headlines: in the aftermath of intense fighting in ukraine, the bbc has uncovered evidence of civilian killings that could amount to war cimes. meanwhile, russian forces near kyiv have been forced to pull back from positions they held at the start of the invasion five weeks ago. a convoy of buses carrying residents of the besieged southern ukrainian city of mariupol has reached the relative safety of the nearby city of zaporyzhzhia. the convoy travelled from the occupied port of berd—yansk with about 2000 people, who had managed to make their own way out of mariupol. for the first time, workers at an amazon warehouse in the us have voted to set up a trade union. staff at the site in new york started to campaign for a union two years ago. the online retailer has always fiercely opposed

unionisation of its million— strong workforce. new figures suggest covid—19 infections in the uk, have hit a record high. the office for national statistics, says it estimates nearly 5 million people had the virus, in the week ending the 26th of march, compared with a5 million the week before. the new data comes as free covid testing ends, for most people in england. our health editor, hugh pym reports. the roll—out of fourth jabs for the most vulnerable is being stepped up, including for residents of this care home in surrey. they have got some long—term conditions that make it difficult for them to move around the community, so us coming into the care home means they are less exposed

to the outside world. christine is one resident who feels the latest jab provides more confidence about life with the virus. i think we should all settle down and get on with our lives now. it's definitely time. tojust live with it, like we've lived with other things. but outside in local communities, levels of covid are relatively high. it's still spreading. the latest survey by the office for national statistics suggests that around 4.9 million people in the uk had the virus last week, the highest recorded yet. there were increases in england to one in 13 people, and wales, one in m with the virus. in scotland, where there were one in 12, and northern ireland with one in 15, the trend was said to be uncertain. this virus expert, who has been a member of the sage committee, said the data underlined the importance of vaccination. although there's a huge amount of virus out there in the community, for most people who have received their full course of vaccines, they're catching the virus, they're getting a cold or a flu—like illness,

but it's not making them severely ill. it's not causing the catastrophic rises in hospitalisations and indeed deaths that we saw in earlier waves. so there aren't the same pressures on the nhs and covid cases tend to be different. the number of covid hospital patients in england is close to january levels. yellow shows those being treated with other conditions who also have the virus. red shows those where covid is the primary illness and that proportion is lower. but even so, the outgoing chief inspector of hospitals in england told me life was still very difficult on the front line. if you're sick with a heart condition or diabetes or other long—term condition and you get covid on top of that, it may not be your primary problem, but it does add to the problems and complications of treatment. remember, covid in hospitals affects the hospital's capacity because the hospital needs to segregate people with active covid from other people. restrictions and free lateral flow tests are being phased out around the uk, but that doesn't

mean the virus is fading away. hugh pym, bbc news. now on bbc news. the travel show. coming up on this week's travel show we are looking back at the time and i was finally able to fly him to australia. we tried our hand at falconry in qatar. steve took on the waves in japan. and lucy treated herself to may fire up in one of london's fast disappearing greasy spoon cafe is. this london's fast disappearing greasy spoon cafe is. this is a lot of food! _

hello and welcome to this week's travel show where we will be taking a look at some of the stories we have covered recently that go to show that hopefully, the world are starting to look a little bit more familiar after two years of travel restrictions. after the past couple of months, while it has not been business entirely as usual for the team here on the show we have been dusting down our suitcases and getting back on the road. well, it won't come as a great surprise to learn that i am an australian although i have lived for most of the past 20 years in the uk. but, the start of the pandemic, when travel restrictions came in, it meant that i was not able to get back and see my family in melbourne for the best part of two years. so, luckily, in recent months,

things have changed, as you will see. thankfully, after a late start, australia really did a fantasticjob in terms of getting vaccinated. a bit of a heart. kinda. iwon�*t getting vaccinated. a bit of a heart. kinda. i won't be working as a barista anytime soon. victoria, my home state has already reached 90% vaccination which is quite emotionalfor me vaccination which is quite emotional for me because... vaccination which is quite emotionalfor me because... it has meant i can go home. it is going to be a lot of tears over the next few days. this is very exciting. very exciting. and though i have completely lost the knack of how to pack. i used to be like, i could be packed in 50 minutes and now

i'm like, what is the weather going to be like? what is the answer to that. i have to wait answer to that. i have to wait a little while for my test gets ijust a little while for my test gets i just want to go. so there has been a bit of a curveball in the last few hours. ijust received hours. i just received notification hours. ijust received notification that the quarantine has been reimposed to some extent so it was quarantine free travel and now it is 72 hours of quarantine upon arrival and having to be isolated from my family so the joyous reunion as may be of the cards. i don't fully know what is going to happen, how i am going to be isolated within my family home if that is possible. don't need to get a

hotel? do i need to get a permit to enter the state of victoria which, despite my research, i havejust found out about. it is getting a bit complicated. i guess thejoys of travelling during covid. well, let's go to gate... 0h, well, let's go to gate... oh, man, i am so excited. i don't even care i don't care. of course. even care i don't care. of course-— even care i don't care. of course. . ~ . even care i don't care. of course. ., .

well, i am out. well, iam out. i well, i am out. i am free. i am out of quarantine at long last and it has given me a bit of a chance to reflect on what it has meant to come home. i

missed you guys! my word, we are lucky to live in a time where, in usual circumstances, you can jump where, in usual circumstances, you canjump on a plane in 204i was there to be on the other side of the world, in my case, i can be home. and i think the pandemic is sort of shown me that in patches i probably taken that for granted. it feels normal to be able to do that. and it is not necessarily something to be taken for granted and i think going forward, i will feel fortunate every time i get on that plane. that was me finally heading home a couple of months ago. and i'm happy to report that most of the travel restrictions have now been lifted so bed citizens and visitors can head back down under. next up we are

heading off to qatar, the host nation of the fifa world cup due to take place there later this year. i've said that soccer was first brought to qatar in the 1940s and 50s by expat workers in the oil and gas industries but when we headed there injanuary gas industries but when we headed there in january we discovered a sport that has a much longer history in the region. if it is a real taste of bedouin culture you want to experience, thenjanuary hosts a month long full cannes festival. if you had to compare being a spectator at a football match and a spectator here, how similar are they? this is more exciting than football?- exciting than football? yes. ali organises _ exciting than football? yes.

money. with so much at stake, it is a one—stop shop for all yourfork and we it is a one—stop shop for all your fork and we need some gps trackers to remote control planes used to teach your vulcan is their craft. it is even a place to train the falconers themselves. so i put my mouth here?— falconers themselves. so i put my mouth here? yes. close it. and same _ my mouth here? yes. close it. and same one, _ my mouth here? yes. close it. and same one, right _ my mouth here? yes. close it. and same one, right hand. - my mouth here? yes. close it. i and same one, right hand. after the birds retire _ and same one, right hand. after the birds retire from _ the birds retire from competition they are kept by their full cannes are released into the wild to breed. but during their career, a top fork and can be worth up to i million qatari currency which works out at roughly £200,000.

tokyo, the subway system are set to be almost entirely accessible. even if some of the adaptations are a bit bizarre. so this is going to turn into a wheelchair lift but they have had to shut everything off to make it happen. so i come on. you won't find many of these adapted escalators around the subway. normal lifts are far more common. breaks are on. no problem. and that is probably a good thing. 0k. thank you, gentlemen. well, that was terrifying. now it is time for me to leave the capital on
