biggest night, the grammys, takes place later today. hello and welcome to bbc news. the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, says russia aims to seize the whole of the donbas region in the east as well as the south of his country. he said ukrainian forces were being boosted there. there have been a number of explosions in the southern port of odesa. the international red cross has also said it will try again to evacuate civilians from the beseiged city of mariupol. it comes as the ukrainian government says its forces have regained control of the entire kyiv region, five weeks after russia launched its invasion. simonjones reports. the russian retreat from the kyiv region has left behind a trail of destruction. ukrainian troops back in control in bucha, for residents,

relief after five weeks of living hell. translation: we've been under constant shelling - for more than a month, practically from the first day when everything was gone, the water was gone, light, gas, everything was gone at once. then the internet was gone, then the phone communications were gone. we found ourselves cut off from the entire world. the city of bucha is strewn with dead bodies, the evidence of civilian killings by russian troops. a war crime is growing. translation: you can imagine what kind of lawlessness - russia perpetrated here. we will record this page of our history and it will be used at their tribunal. in the wake of fierce resistance, russia says it's shifting its firepower to the east of the country. borisjohnson has congratulated the ukrainian president on the successful pushback of russian forces around kyiv, but it's come at a huge cost.

the ukrainian military, though, says it's a humiliation for the kremlin. they're running. they trying to call this some sort of relocation, but this is not a relocation, this is just defeat and running. but the fighting in the east remains fierce. this is a russian helicopter shot down over luhansk on friday. this morning, a series of explosions have been heard in odesa and president zelensky spoke of the need to reinforce defences. hundreds of people in the southern city of mariupol, which has endured weeks of bombardment, have managed to escape in private cars. the relief on their faces is clear, but they're haunted by what they've left behind. 160,000 residents remain stuck there, but the death toll is rising. translation: they've killed everyone and destroyed everything. _ they're animals.

there is nothing left there anymore. no houses, nojobs. aid is now getting through to more areas that had been cut off. but the cost of the conflict is evident, a conflict whose focus is shifting, but one in which there is no clear end in sight. simon jones, bbc news. let's speak to emma vardy in lviv. hello, what is the latest from your point of view?— point of view? there is this developing _ point of view? there is this developing picture - point of view? there is this developing picture today i point of view? there is this developing picture today of point of view? there is this - developing picture today of the russian withdrawal of troops from around those northern cities, but it is what they are leaving behind that the focus is turning to now. and thatis the focus is turning to now. and that is this trail of destruction, mounting evidence of russian war crimes, those terrible pictures of bodies lining the streets in some areas and we also heard from the ukrainian president, president zelensky last night, talking about

the mines and booby traps being left behind, somebody is left on the street are being wired so there is a dangerous swathes of ground left behind that will need painstaking work to clear. although that push back of russian forces is seen as a success for the ukrainian fight back, for their resistance efforts, the is side is there is this intense military activity expected in the east and in the southern regions of ukraine. we had this morning about explosions in odesa, in the southern port city there. we understand that an oil refinery was hit. we are hearing from ukrainian officials that there were no casualties, the city has been braced for missile strikes for some time and it has come this morning. the east of ukraine, that is where we expect to see more intense fighting from here on. we see more intense fighting from here on. ~ . ~' see more intense fighting from here on. ~ ., ~ ., ., .,

low at the moment. that is why those efforts keep on being hampered. as you say, a desperate situation in mariupol once again, waiting to see if a larger convoy vehicles can get there today to get tens of thousands people out. there today to get tens of thousands --eole out. ., ., , let's go to odesa, hanna shelest is editor—in—chief of ukraine analytica, she heard this morning's explosions. what have you heard, what have you seen? six. what have you heard, what have you seen? ,, ~' what have you heard, what have you seen? ,, ~ ., seen? six o'clock in the morning i woke u- seen? six o'clock in the morning i woke up from _ seen? six o'clock in the morning i woke up from the _ seen? six o'clock in the morning i woke up from the heavy _ seen? six o'clock in the morning i woke up from the heavy glass, i woke up from the heavy glass, probably the loudest i have seen. we had approximately six, seven of the very heavy explosions and saw the very heavy explosions and saw the very red sky. i live in the downtown, so that the black smoke immediately being seen from the balcony and i talked with a few friends in different parts of the town and it appears they saw exactly the same. you need to understand

that edessa stretches along the coastline and what is happening on the coastline, you can see from the different parts of the city. later, about an hour later we had some of the news what was happening and the russian ministry of defence announced they had been targeting the old refinery plant. k. announced they had been targeting the old refinery plant.— the old refinery plant. k, can you exlain the old refinery plant. k, can you explain why _ the old refinery plant. k, can you explain why the _ the old refinery plant. k, can you explain why the russians - the old refinery plant. k, can you explain why the russians might l the old refinery plant. k, can you. explain why the russians might be targeting odesa in this way, what is the strategic importance of edessa? it is notjust because of odesa, if you have noticed, they have been targeting deliberately the oil refinery and oil storage facilities and in many other places. it is said

the population will not have sufficient pressure. in odesa, they announce they wanted to limit supply, announce they wanted to limit supply, and the problem is the odesa refinery has been closed for a number of years and that is why it sounds a little bit strange why this episode should be bombed. it is either very old information within russian intelligence, also the fear of odesa, it is the biggest seaport in the country and for the last month has been more or less safe compared to the north and east of the country. but that is strategically important for the economy and for the ideological point of view, because russia wants the city to surrender. qm. point of view, because russia wants the city to surrender.— the city to surrender. ok, i wonder if ou and the city to surrender. ok, i wonder if you and peeple _ the city to surrender. ok, i wonder if you and people who _ the city to surrender. ok, i wonder if you and people who are - the city to surrender. ok, i wonder if you and people who are in - the city to surrender. ok, i wonder| if you and people who are in odesa, do you look at mariupol and think,

that could be something that happens to odesa? or do you look at kyiv and say, that could be us, to? ukrainian forces have regained control of the whole of kyiv. forces have regained control of the whole of kym— forces have regained control of the whole of kyiv. what you talked about mariu ol, whole of kyiv. what you talked about mariupol. that _ whole of kyiv. what you talked about mariupol, that is _ whole of kyiv. what you talked about mariupol, that is extreme _ whole of kyiv. what you talked about mariupol, that is extreme tragedy. . mariupol, that is extreme tragedy. you need to understand that mariupol is four or five times smaller than odesa and didn't have the defence as odesa. also mariupol was a target for the russian forces. the idea is, it is a possibility to connect the russian federation and occupied crimea. with odesa, it is not so easy to take the city, it is not so easy to take the city, it is not so easy for the russian federation to

control the city even if they manage a landing operation.— a landing operation. you, personally. _ a landing operation. you, personally, how- a landing operation. you, personally, how are - a landing operation. you, personally, how are you | a landing operation. you, - personally, how are you feeling at the moment? do you feel afraid, what is your emotions? i am definitely preferring to wake up on a sunday morning. the preferring to wake up on a sunday morninu. . . preferring to wake up on a sunday morninu. ., ., . morning. the fear and panic, it still exists, _ morning. the fear and panic, it still exists, but _ morning. the fear and panic, it still exists, but is _ morning. the fear and panic, it still exists, but is much - morning. the fear and panic, it still exists, but is much less. l morning. the fear and panic, it i still exists, but is much less. we have already have had a0 days of the war and we are becoming more angry rather than panicking. when we see the pictures of kyiv, you know where you need to defend. we are not speaking about some small conflict of civilised european countries, we are speaking about the real massacre in the country. considering ukraine was never attacking or threatening

the russian federation, we understand that it is for us to defend our existence. all the people i am talking to, they want to defend our way of life, democracy, i am talking to, they want to defend ourway of life, democracy, human rights values and architecture. the russians are targeting everything, they think they came to protect us, but they are destroying schools, churches, cultural heritage and people's lives. it seems to me the determination is the main word from the people. determination is the main word from the --eole. . ~ determination is the main word from the --eole. ., ~ i. determination is the main word from the --eole. . ~' ., ., ~ determination is the main word from the --eole. ., ~ ., ., ~ ., the people. thank you for talking to us. the former archbishop of canterbury, rowan williams, says he thinks there is a strong

case for the russian orthodox church to be expelled from the world council of churches. the body, which promotes christian unity, has members joining me now from his west london church bishop kenneth nowakowski. i wonder if you think the russian church should be expelled? that is very sensitive. _ church should be expelled? that is very sensitive, the _ church should be expelled? that is very sensitive, the catholic - church should be expelled? that is very sensitive, the catholic church | very sensitive, the catholic church certainly works closely and has worked closely for the last several decades with the world council of churches, but is not a member of the world council of churches. i can understand how those who are members of the world council of churches could see the lack of combination of the will in ukraine and not listening to world leaders, such as pope francis who has spoken to them and has said we have understood wars with terms of holy wars orjust wars, but today the christian

conscience has evolved and we no longer see holy wars orjust wars, but we understand what peace is and we should be peacemakers. hat but we understand what peace is and we should be peacemakers.- we should be peacemakers. not only has the russian _ we should be peacemakers. not only has the russian orthodox _ we should be peacemakers. not only has the russian orthodox church - we should be peacemakers. not only has the russian orthodox church are| has the russian orthodox church are not condemn the war, but they haven't even called for a ceasefire? that is true and that is also mounting evidence around the understanding i believe from the world council of churches, while many of its members will be calling for the expulsion of the russian orthodox church from the world council of churches. i can only echo what the holy father and our ecclesiastical authorities in the catholic church have said over the decades, the role of the church is not to sanction each other, but to look towards restoring unity so the body of christ is no longer broken. what would you like to hear from the

about these allegations. however, he told the sunday telegraph he had not heard from parliament's independent complaints and grievance scheme and he had an enormous amount of defence. a spokesperson for the conservative whips office said he had the party whip removed. suspended temporarily, which means while this investigation is ongoing he was set as an independent mp, rather than a conservative mp. thank ou ve rather than a conservative mp. thank you very much- _ a vote of no confidence against imran khan in the pakistani parliament, that he was expected to lose — will no longer take place today. the deputy speaker of the house ruled the motion unconstitutional in light of imran khans allegations that an international conspiracy — orchestrated by the us is behind the move. opposition politicians had ridiculed the claim. in islamabad is bbc�*s secunder kermani. for those who want to learn more about this, start at the beginning,

arisen between the two sides, the opposition politician sensed it was their time to launch an attack and entice away some of his coalition partners. look like they had a vote of no to and seating. it was due to take place today, but it will not take place today, but it will not take place today, but it will not take place because the deputy speaker of the house has ruled it is unconstitutional. why has he done so? imran khan has spent the last week saying this campaign to hold a vote of no confidence is not rooted in events in pakistan, it is an attempt at regime change being directed by the united states. many analysts dismissed that as an attempt him to distract against what is happening here to him. opposition politicians have ridiculed the campaign, the allegations. the united states has said there is no truth to the allegations, but many of imran khan's supporters do believe it and parliament has had the vote of confidence will not

happen. imran khan, addressing the nation shortly after that development said he is moving the country towards fresh elections. that is the latest on what we have. but they could be more developments to come later today and later this week. . ~ to come later today and later this week. ., ~ , ., to come later today and later this week. ., ~' , ., , to come later today and later this week. ., ~ i. , . hungarians are due to go to the polls in the first parliamentary election to be held in europe since russia's invasion of ukraine. viktor orban and his fidesz party — who have been in power since 2010 — are trying to win a fourth consecutive victory. the bbc�*s nick thorpe is in the capital budapest and has more. here is the hungarian parliament behind me. what they are competing for is the 199 seats there. until now, the last 12

years mr orban has been pretty unchallenged. his fidesz party has enjoyed a two thirds majority, which has allowed them to do pretty much what they liked. they have changed the constitution, they change the basic laws of hungary. now this time, the opposition, a wide—ranging opposition, six different parties have got together under an independent conservative leader, peter marki—zay. and they are basically challenging fidesz in all 106 individual constituencies and the 93 constituency seats decided on a party list. so it is a pretty major challenge, certainly the fiercest, strongest challenge mr orban has faced since he came to power in 2010. reports from sri lanka sri lanka say opposition mps have defied a 36—hour curfew to stage a protest. and access to main social media sites has been blocked in the latest move by the authorities to prevent demonstrations against worsening shortages of food, fuel and medicines. it's the grammy awards tonight. it's �*the biggest night in music', is being held in las vegas three months later than originally planned due to the pandemic. so, who could be the big winners on the night? sophie long reports. genre—busting virtuoso jon batiste enters the evening

with 11 nominations, more than any other artist. but it's set to be a big night for olivia rodrigo, who could sweep the big four and bag best newcomer along with best album, song, and record of the year. she would become just the third artist in history, then, to sweep the big four. and to be following that right after billie eilish, i think it says a lot about the big picture of music that it's these young women who really have the power to do that. also up for best newcomer is a young british star, arlo parks, whose songwriting resonated around the world in this second pandemic year. people really connected and gravitated towards her songwriting and her music and her honesty. and to me, that's always the coolest success story is when you know it wasn't necessarily a viral tiktok video, or it wasn't necessarily a top charting pop hit. it's someone who is just writing some poetry that really connected. postponed by the pandemic

and then pushed to sin city, its new las vegas venue only adding an extra layer of unpredictability. well, good evening. with late night host trevor noah mcing for a second time, all eyes will be on this man — yay! his performance has been pulled after infamous activity online, but he could still end up on stage if he wins an award. you know, if he shows up, what will he do? if he wins, what will that speech look like? the academy didn't want him to perform, but you can't stop someone from accepting their award on tv and saying what they want to there. and he's in the same category as taylor swift. who could forget this? yo, taylor, i'm really happy for you. i'll let you finish. but beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. cheering. one of the best videos of all time. booing. will they even greet one another, will, how close will they be seated to one another?

the seating chart is something fascinating to watch for as well, just seeing where people end up in that room. but in terms of biggest stories, keep an eye on yay, i would say. it may be music's biggest night of the year, but with artist boycotts and dwindling ratings causing some to question the awards relevance, what happens in vegas may really stay in vegas if no one's really watching anyway. sophie long, bbc news, las vegas. you can find coverage of who wins what on the bbc news site, which todayis what on the bbc news site, which today is bringing you coverage of the latest events in ukraine and various other stories from the uk and around the world. go to the bbc news website. the live page is updated, every five minutes it would seem, because developments are moving so fast. if you stay with us in the uk will bring you the newspaper review in a few minutes and we will have a full weather forecast for you. get in touch with

me, on twitter and forecast for you. get in touch with me, on twitterand instagram. after the frosty morning most of us are in for a pretty decent afternoon. here is a reminder of how cold it got, at least in some spots. minus seven degrees last night in wales and sennybridge, making it the coldest april night in nine years. even in london temperatures well below freezing. how about the outlook? bright weather today, but outlook? bright weathertoday, but rain is expected tomorrow. the rain will already reach parts of scotland and northern ireland later on this afternoon. this is the picture for the first part of the day, sunny spells and a few showers across england and wales but the rain spreading into scotland and just about nudging into northern ireland as well. around 10 degrees for most

of us the high. tonight, a different picture compared to last night, you can see cloud and rain spreading across the country, increasing winds as well. as a result it is going to be a very mild night. temperatures in the lowlands of scotland 8 degrees, further south a little bit colder early in the night but no more than 5 degrees on monday morning. this is the low pressure with its weather fronts crossing the country on monday. within it we have milder airfrom the north country on monday. within it we have milder air from the north atlantic, so that means a very different feel to things on monday. right from the morning onwards it is cloudy across the uk, outbreaks of rain here and there and perhaps a bit of sunshine through the course of the afternoon. i mean glimmers around eastern parts of the country and may be further south. given that, temperatures could get up to 1a or 15 degrees but more typically it will be around 12 or so, more typically it will be around 12 orso, particularly more typically it will be around 12 or so, particularly where it is cloudy and rainy all day long. three monday night into tuesday we will see more the weather front spreading

into this next low pressure coming into this next low pressure coming in off the north atlantic. it may bring a spell of snow tuesday and tuesday night across central and northern scotland, where it will remain cold. further south we still have very mild weather. look at the contrast in the temperatures on tuesday, 15 degrees in london, 12 in liverpool and then in aberdeen it is only around a degrees and freezing or below in the highlands. the outlook for the week ahead will be unsettled, further south it will be relatively mild but further north, those temperatures will be just that little bit lower. goodbye.

hello, this is bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire. here are your headlines. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky says his forces have regained control of all areas around kyiv as russian forces withdraw from key towns. ukraine is now strengthening its defences in the east of the country. a kremlin spokesperson describes the ongoing talks of a ceasfire as "difficult". elsewhere, there are explosions in the strategic southern port city of odesa on the black sea coast. ukrainian officials say missiles have hit critical infrastructure but there were no casualties.
