hollywood actor will smith resigns from the oscars academy after slapping the comedian chris rock, as disciplinary proceedings against him continue. marking forty years since the start of the falklands war — when argentina invaded and occupied disputed islands they call the malvinas. and could tourism actually be part of the solution to the damage being done to antarctica's fragile ecosystem. hello and welcome to audiences in the uk and around the world. ukraine says its forces have retaken the entire region around the capital kyiv, with russian forces withdrawing from key towns. hostomel airport, which is near kyiv and has seen

fighting since the first day of the conflict is now back in ukrainian hands. but as russian troops retreat, the evidence of civilian killings — a war crime — is growing. reporters in the town of bucha, which isjust outside kyiv, have found at least 20 bodies left in the streets. the bbc�*sjeremy bowen reports now from hostomel, and a warning — his report contains distressing images. as the russian rearguard pull back from kyiv, ukrainian troops yet again were waiting. it looks like they attacked out of the tree line. nimble ukrainian tactics and modern nato weapons are making tanks look obsolete. at least one charred body of a russian soldier was inside the wreckage of his vehicle. russian troops tried to do this, they were just defeated and ran away. so that is a sign that we can win the war.

the road into bucha was littered with war debris. ukraine has saved its capital but russia is much better positioned in the east and south. winning for either side is a long way off. russia's defeat around kyiv may have started on this suburban street in the last few days of februaryjust after the invasion. a long column of russian armour was destroyed as it pushed forward towards the capital. these were elite airborne troops, mostly in armoured vehicles light enough to be carried by aircraft. once again anti—tank weapons and attack drones made them no protection at all. this is the graveyard, one of the many graveyards of russian hopes for capturing kyiv. it was early in the war, they were advancing. and then the ambush happened. panic must have ensued. look how this armoured vehicle

has ended up ramming that one. they had no idea what the ukrainians had in store for them. young conscripts ran away — begging, local people said, not to be turned over to ukrainian territorial defence. a neighbour said, "i felt sorry for them, they were so young, 18 to 20, with theire whole lives ahead of them." it looks like the russians, as they prepared to pull out of bucha, had no such pity. at least 20 dead men, some with their wrists tied, were lying on the street as ukrainian troops entered the town. the mayor said they buried 280 people in mass garves. a few civilians who stayed said they'd tried to avoid the russians, cooking outdoors

because their gas, power and water were cut. "this is the first bread we have had in 38 days," said maria. the russians systematically broke down doors to loot flats, they said. while they stole valuables and food, the soldiers made them sit in the cellar. a few miles away the trail of devastation leads to hostomel airport, fought over since the first day of the invasion when russian airborne troops landed to use it as a base for a push into kyiv. the world's largest transport plane was destroyed early on. an enormous amount of national pride was wrapped up in this huge aircraft. it was a symbol of achievement, of ukraine's place in the modern world.

now it is a symbol of what has happened to the country. the russians insist they never wanted to capture kyiv. the evidence is that they were stopped by more effective, determined ukrainian troops. leaving the battlefield around kyiv simplifies russia's new objective, a spring campaign in the east, another attempt to break ukraine's will to fight. jeremy bowen, bbc news, hostomel. hundreds of people in the southern city of mariupol, which has endured weeks of bombardment by russia, have managed to escape in private cars. but a third consecutive attempt by the international red cross to drive buses to the city to evacuate people from the area has once again failed. many of those who've managed to leave are being taken to zaporeeshia to the north west. 0ur defence correspondent jonathan beale sent us this report from zaporeezhia. this is what the aftermath of a russian invasion looks

like — a trail of chaos, death and destruction. irpin, to the north of kyiv, is now back in ukrainian hands. but a bloodied and bruised russian army says it's now refocusing its military offensive to the east of the country. it's still meeting resistance there too. this, a russian helicopter shot down over luhansk yesterday, believed to be the first time ukrainian forces have used the british made and supplied starstreak missile. yet russia's brutal bombardment in the east continues. these some of the survivors from its relentless siege of mariupol, which has been going on for weeks. translation: they've killed everyone and - destroyed everything. they are animals. there is nothing left there any more. no houses, nojobs, no people. her husband maxim says

mariupol, the city he grew up in, no longer exists. "when i left i couldn't even recognise it. "the city is nowjust dust and smoke." these people have been escaping any way they can from cities, towns, villages that have been under russian bombardment and are now in russian occupied territory in ukraine. and you can sense their relief when they arrive here. some of them genuinely look shell—shocked. thousands more are still trapped in mariupol. a red cross convoy of buses is still waiting to help. but many, like yelena's husband, are already dead. she still can't believe it. translation: bodies were everywhere, - literally everywhere. we tried to cover them, but no one collected them. there were dead kids, adults, everyone. what's your message

to president putin? translation: stop war. stop war. the russians are tightening their grip on mariupol, at least what is left of it. for those fleeing the fighting, their city, their lives and loved ones are already gone. jonathan beale, bbc news, zaporizhzhia. 0ur correspondent anna foster in lviv and has more on the failed humanitarian evacuations. in terms of the human carrying corridor, which again has failed to happen, the ukrainians say they are making every effort. the russian defence ministry has blamed the red cross for that not going ahead today, saying they were too late in their efforts to get there. in terms of elsewhere in the country it seems that the pull—back of troops around kyiv is happening. this is something much talked about at the beginning of the week after peace

talks in istanbul. earlier in the day and adviser to president volodymyr zelensky said that 30 towns and settlements had been recaptured by ukrainian forces. as the day went on, they increased that. they now say that the whole kyiv region is in ukrainian pounds. at this stage it is hard to tell about the bush now is towards the east of the country and they fear powerful blows in that direction. a two—month truce has been agreed by warring parties in yemen. it's the first nationwide truce agreed since 2016 in a war which has killed nearly 400,000 people, according to un estimates. the deal between the saudi—led coalition and iran—backed houthi rebels — came into effect on saturday — coinciding with the first day of the muslim holy month of ramadan. the us special envoy for yemen — tim lenderking —

described the truce as a �*decisive moment�* for a possible lasting ceasefire. i think the battlefield mechanics have changed. all of these things i think have combined to create what is a decisive moment and if the international community and the parties can work together, this can be built into a ceasefire, a lasting ceasefire and an inclusive political process that ultimately gives shape to a new yemen and i think that's what we are also keen to see. aisha jerman — is founder and president of the yemen relief and reconstruction foundation. a short time ago she told me how important this truce is: this is extremely significant for multiple reasons, one is that it is ending the war in terms of air strikes and cross—borderfighting, but i think the most significant thing is the lifting, the partial lifting of the blockade at the port, allowing flights into the airport.

as you may know, the largest impact of the yemeni population is actually the blockade, where, as you said, 400,000 people have been killed to date and actually this is quite an underestimate, because we do not have anyone collecting data on brutality in yemen and a lot of this is because of the blockade. according to the un report, which was just mentioned, 70% of the deaths are actually from indirect causes, like, you know, infectious diseases, famine, it is estimated that 17 million people in yemen are food insecure and at risk of famine today... 0n the risk of famine, let us talk about trying to get supplies inside now, to tackle all of those problems. what is the most important thing to try and get in the country and how easy will that be? so, again, according to the recent report

of the ceasefire, they will be allowing fuel ships to get into yemen, only one fuel ships got into yemen since the beginning of this year and that was the 2nd of january, so they are presumably going to be allowing a team of ships to get into yemen and that is actually quite significant, because a lot of the health services have introduced hourly closed services. the other one is the airport, allowing two flights per week from oman and cairo. that is also significant, because there are at least 14,000 people in yemen who need medical evacuation and have not 40,000 people in yemen who need medical evacuation and have not been able to leave yemen. so, those are extremely significant decisions that will impact the people of yemen and we also hope that they will allow a lot more to get into yemen and i know from our work, that we have not been able to get leukaemia medicine for all kinds of patients in yemen that has been donated to us, we have been trying to get it into yemen over the last two

years, so it is the first step in a 1 million mile walk. a1 million mile walk, we heard just before, chatting to you there, there is hope that it would lead to a permanent ceasefire and an end to this, are you confident that that will happen? this is the most confident i have been since the war started in 2015. having said that, we are only at day one of the ceasefire, so we will see what happens. a lot of people in yemen are celebrating, are very happy with the news, but it is up to the warring parties to make sure that it happens, but also up to the uk and the us who have armed the saudi—led coalition and supported the saudi—led coalition in this war, to make sure that this truce lasts and it does indeed lead to a lasting peace in yemen.

let s get some of the day s other news emmanuel macron has been holding his first rally of the french presidential election campaign — just over a week before the first round of voting. he told around 30 thousand supporters in paris that he is fighting for �*social progress�* and to stop �*extremism�* in french politics. polls suggest mr macron is leading the race ahead of far—right rival marine le pen. reports from sri lanka say access to main social media sites has been blocked — the latest move by the authorities to prevent protests against worsening shortages of food, fuel and medicines. police have already declared a 36 hour curfew across the country and imposed a national emergency. at least eight people have been killed in coastal areas of brazil after torrential rains triggered flash floods and landslides. officials said the victims included a mother and six of her children. they died when a landslide swept away their home in the town of paraty, in rio dejaneiro state.

in the uk, the conservative mp david warburton has been suspended from the parliamentary party, while an investigation into allegations about his conduct takes place. mr warburton has been the member of parliament for somerset and frome since 2015. the claims about mr warburton, who sits on the backbenches, are being examined by parliament�*s independent complaints and grievance scheme. 0ur political correspondent iain watson has more. he represents somerset and froome in the west country, a seat he won from the lib dems in 2015 but tonight he is suspended from the parliamentary conservative party. conservative sources say that is because he is being investigated over three allegations of sexual harassment following reports in the sunday times newspaper. the body that�*s going to be carrying out the investigation is called the independent complaints and grievances scheme, set up three years ago specifically to help parliamentary staff or those who work in mps�* offices to make it easierfor them to make complaints

confidentially over allegations of harassment or indeed of bullying. mr warburton hasn�*t responded to bbc requests to comment on these allegations tonight but he responded to the sunday telegraph newspaper and told them he had apparently enormous amounts of defence and he hadn�*t heard from this body that�*s meant to be investigating him. the conservatives say he remains suspended and the investigation is ongoing. this is bbc news, the headlines.... ukraine says it has retaken control from russian forces of the entire area around the capital kyiv — including the airport of hostomel. relief as hundreds of people manage to escape the bombardment of the southern city of mariupol and reach safety. will smith has resigned from the academy that hands out the oscars. the actor described slapping the comedian, chris rock, at this year�*s ceremony as "shocking, painful, and inexcusable". the academy has accepted his resignation, but is continuing with disciplinary proceedings.

0ur correspondent, david willis, reports from los angeles. from one of hollywood�*s biggest stars... oh, wow! ..to the man who brought shame to the oscars. will smith�*s violent response to a chris rockjoke about his wife proved a slap in the face to the body that gives out the awards. now the actor has announced his resignation from the academy. "my actions were shocking, painful and inexcusable," he said in a statement. "the list of those i have hurt is long and includes chris." no. never. you all will never do that again. work on the aptly named bad boys franchise has reportedly been brought to a halt because of smith�*s actions and his hollywood future could depend on what action the film academy decides to take next. critics are saying that he is jumping before he was pushed and that he is getting ahead of any kind of repercussion. and to some degree,

you know, that is true, although the academy did say they are going to continue with their processing. come april 18th, they are going to issue some kind of edict. in a statement, the academy president david rubin said... those proceedings will come to a head when members of the academy meet in two weeks�* time and the big question is, will they impose the ultimate punishment available to them, namely taking back the oscar will smith was awarded for best actor? such a punishment would be unprecedented. despite being expelled from the academy, both roman polanski and harvey weinstein managed to hold onto their trophies. will smith has said he will never again allow violence to overtake reason, but even in this land of second chances, the sequel to his own life could see his star—studded

reputation irredeemably tarnished. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. argentinian forces landed on the falkland islands forty years ago after a long running dispute about sovereignty. it sparked an unexpected war with britain which lasted 74 days. like many families there, the davidsons woke to the reality of life in a warzone. they�*ve now made their home in the scottish highlands but as elizabeth quigley reports their memories of a conflict 8—thousand miles away, are still vivid. here in the peace of the highlands, war seems a distant memory. but for margaret and don davidson, the events of 40 years ago have never left them. we thought it was all posturing. we never thought for one minute that it would... it would happen. it was simmering away, but you never expected invasion. but that�*s exactly what happened.

argentina has invaded the falklands. in 1982, the davidsons were running the malvina house hotel in port stanley and bringing up a young family. all three of their children were born in the falklands. the youngest was just six months old when war broke out. explosions, rifle fire. that�*s how you know they�*re coming. we knew exactly what we had to do. we had to get the hell out of it... out of the way of it, and we went down to the cellar. you will find that in any warfare, you�*ll have seen it in ukraine. so how did they cope with being under argentinean rule? most of them had no idea where they were. they�*d just been draughted in. they had no idea it was so cold. that we didn�*t speak spanish. in fact, they had no idea. i think a lot of the conscripts

that had arrived and that expected to be welcomed with open arms. and today�*s events in ukraine bring memories flooding back of how they coped in a warzone 40 years ago. i remember very, very vividly, it was the day after the invasion, i was... i was taking a shower and, um, ijust realised it was gone. your freedom. and that�*s why ukraine... ..deeply upsets me because you lose... you lose the freedom of speech, you lose the freedom of worship. you lose the freedom from want and you lose the freedom from fear. all gone. in antarctica, scientists are concerned about the growing number of tourist cruise ships that could be damaging its fragile ecosystem. but many of the newer ships are more sustainable and even

help to gather scientific data. so rather than being a problem, could tourism be part of the solution? julie ritson reports. trip of a lifetime is how many describe going to antarctica. this incredibly alluring but remote location attracts around 60,000 visitors each year. these tourists are travelling on an expedition cruise ship that uses battery hypbrid powered engines, has an impressive science centre, and equipment below deck that automatically analyses the surrounding sea water. this scientist visiting the ship for the first time wonders if it�*s capable of doing even more. this ship may be effectively used for real science, not only for education, not only the spread of information between the tourists but the tourists can help with the science. this professor has a five year research grant from the us national science foundation to study snow algae and how it

affects the rate that snow melts, but she can�*t spent five years straight in antarctica so joining a trip like this works well for her. i am able to collect some samples and data for my research and i can use of the facilities on the ship, such as the microscopes, to look at the samples and also work with the tourists to show them what i am sampling in the snow. most of the ship�*s expedition crew also have science backgrounds and help run citizen science projects for the passengers. ..a little bubble of water on top and no air. studying the microscopic phytoplankton in the water helps monitor the effects of global warning. samples are packed up and sent off to be analysed by researchers who can�*t get here themselves. coming to places like antarctica costs a lot and takes a lot of planning so by integrating citizens into their science, they are able to collect data

repeatedly at the same locations throughout the season while the tourist ships are already here. scientists also live and work in antarctica for many months of the year. this presents its own unique challenges, logistics being one of them. this research base on livingstone island is temporary home to around 40 scientists, but their supply ship has been delayed and they�*re running low on food. luckily, our ship was nearby and able to help. for them, it has been a life—saver that tourist ships cruise these waters. but what the scientific community really hope is that the passengers return home as ambassadors who can educate others and help change behaviours that threaten this fragile environment. you can reach me on twitter — i�*m @ l vaughanjones

hello, there. another cold day on saturday but not as bitter as it has been because the wind was not as strong. we started with blue skies and a frost but as the day went by we had clouds building to bring scattered showers and even some hailstorms. for quite a few of you the weather is going to follow a similar pattern on sunday. right now we have clear skies for the majority. temperatures already below freezing. in the first part of sunday morning, a widespread and sharp frost, temperatures down to —3 in some towns and cities. there could be one or two icy stretches around first thing. for many of you, a lovely start to the day if somewhat cold. blue skies and plenty of sunshine. through the day, cloud bubbling

up in england and wales and we may see some showers, the odd one with hail. in the north—west, outbreaks of rain moving into northern ireland and scotland. heaviest rain in the highlands. temperatures similar to saturday, about 10 degrees. sunday night, the rain pushing south and east across the uk, introducing for many parts of the country milder atlantic air. the heaviest rain in western parts of the uk although some in the east which won�*t amount to much. a lot of cloud and perhaps some hill fog. also a lot milder than it has been, top temperatures around 14 or 15. in shetland, still cold. tuesday, we have some colder air moving down into the north of the country. for many of us, we are in this milder air with a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain. something of a battle

zone building in. with cloud and rain, some mist and hill fog. for most parts on tuesday it looks like it will be a mile day with temperatures of around 12—15 across england, wales and northern ireland. in the far north of scotland, colder, down into the single figures. in the latter part of tuesday afternoon, the rain bumps into the colder air and looks like we�*ll see some hill snow in scotland, probably north of the central belt.

this is bbc news, the headlines: ukraine says its forces have retaken the entire region around the capital kyiv, with russian forces withdrawing from key towns. but as russian troops retreat, the evidence of civilian killings is growing, with reporters in the nearby town of bucha finding at least 20 bodies left in the streets. hundreds of people have managed to escape the bombardment of the southern city of mariupol and reach safety in private cars. but a third consecutive attempt by the international red cross to drive buses to the city to evacuate people from the area has once again failed. a two—month truce has been agreed by warring parties in yemen for the first time since 2016, in a war which has killed an estimated 400,000 people. the deal between the saudi—led coalition and iran—backed houthi rebels coincided
