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

they are, victoria. and what is interesting now is that it is people who are arriving from these places that we have talked so much about, and i met a man that we have talked so much about, and i meta man who that we have talked so much about, and i met a man who was describing those pictures that he had seen and he talked about the russian soldiers behind that. is that they are not even human, as far as i am concerned. we can't even refer to them as people. a i met people from kharkiv with a small girl clutching a cuddly toy. she had her name and number on a tag around her neck in case you got lost. it reminded you of something from the second world war and then you hear these stories, pictures and peoples mobile phones of how they have had to hide in bunkers. 0ne of how they have had to hide in bunkers. one man i met this morning was walking with a stick and he said a shell exploded next to him and finally managed to make it from kharkiv to kharkiv to lviv to try to get some sort of help. people continue to come. people continue to come in numbers and they have

experienced weeks and weeks of these devastating conditions in the areas we have been talking about occupy by russian forces. it we have been talking about occupy by russian forces.— russian forces. it would appear to be very encouraging _ russian forces. it would appear to be very encouraging news - russian forces. it would appear to be very encouraging news from i russian forces. it would appear to | be very encouraging news from the capital. less so in places like 0desa and of course mariupol where civilians are still trapped and so trying to get out for weeks. they are. the last three or four days we have been talking about this humanitarian corridor. the hopes for it were a race on thursday. you can only imagine, can't you? what must be like to be a mariupol when you get the word to do that they are trying to plan and arrange this but everyday it doesn't happen. they have said, this is the international committee of the red cross who are going to read this convoy out, potentially. they say that the conditions are just not right. they just haven't had the security guarantees that they need from both sides. yesterday evening russia's defence ministry blamed the red cross for it not going ahead. they said they had not moved into the

time but the stories that we hear, the conditions in mariupol. women i met a couple of days ago who fled with her two children talked about the road out. she was in the theatre, the one that was bombed. and she talked about bringing her children out and hiding their eyes so they couldn't see the body parts along the side of the road as they fled. every hours convoys like this one, imported humanitarian corridors are delayed, another day people are having to live in these frankly horrendous conditions. let's talk to someone in 0desa, valerii novak. his house shook with the force of this morning's explosions. thank you very much for talking to us. tell us what you felt, tell us what you heard, tell us what you saw. ~ . , what you heard, tell us what you saw. ~ ., , ., what you heard, tell us what you saw. ~ ., , saw. well, i was not asleep when it happened- — saw. well, i was not asleep when it happened- so _ saw. well, i was not asleep when it happened- so i _ saw. well, i was not asleep when it happened. so i could _ saw. well, i was not asleep when it happened. so i could see _ saw. well, i was not asleep when it happened. so i could see the - happened. so i could see the explosion. i could see the house

moving, i could feel it. the family woke up. it was pretty scary. it is only human nature to feel scared with something like this and we want, when the explosions ended we walked closer towards the windows, and we could see a huge amount of smoke actually, this guy was almost black. you could assume that, since we are in the centre of the city, it happened somewhere very near. so, well, pretty much it to be frank. were you afraid? i well, pretty much it to be frank. were you afraid?— well, pretty much it to be frank. were you afraid? i am more afraid about my family's _ were you afraid? i am more afraid about my family's situation, - were you afraid? i am more afraid | about my family's situation, really. i'm afraid about the women and children in the city. this is what i'm afraid of, this is what i'm scared for, you no.— i'm afraid of, this is what i'm scared for, you no. yeah. do you think it is — scared for, you no. yeah. do you think it is going _ scared for, you no. yeah. do you think it is going to _ scared for, you no. yeah. do you think it is going to get _ scared for, you no. yeah. do you think it is going to get worse? it |

think it is going to get worse? it is very difficult to assume anything at this stage because we are dealing with someone, somebody who is acting without any moral conduct whatsoever so you could really expect anything and to the most extent that it is possible, i think that it is good to be prepared for anything. that is all you can do. but you will never know unless you face it, really. why is it that you've made that decision?— is it that you've made that decision? , , ,~ , , , decision? this is my city. this is where i was _ decision? this is my city. this is where i was born. _ decision? this is my city. this is where i was born. this - decision? this is my city. this is where i was born. this is - decision? this is my city. this is where i was born. this is the - decision? this is my city. this is| where i was born. this is the city that i love. and they do not think that i love. and they do not think that anyone should be forced to leave this place. unless they want to. unless it is absolutely necessary which basically counts for

women and children, you know, which would make thejob women and children, you know, which would make the job for the armed forces much easier if things escalated. but all the men i have seen will stay. most of my friends well, that is for sure.— seen will stay. most of my friends well, that is for sure. some of our bbc correspondents _ well, that is for sure. some of our bbc correspondents have - well, that is for sure. some of our bbc correspondents have been - bbc correspondents have been reporting evidence of potential war crimes on the outskirts of kyiv our correspondent talked about seeing the bodies of dead civilians and people who had emerged from cars with their hands raised in the surrender position and he was shot dead on the spot by russian soldiers. what you think of that? it feels very difficult to express my thoughts because i have a lot of feelings and it is basically younger and devastation, really. but more anger than anything else. because it

is only fair, i think. 0nce anger than anything else. because it is only fair, i think. once you see all of those pictures it is very hard to believe that this is true. this is actually happening in the zist this is actually happening in the 21st century and then, you know, you clear your head and you understand the fact that it has happened and it has happened very close by. it is happened to your fellow citizens and this is absolutely crazy. this is a mad situation and it only speaks about whom we are dealing with. it really sets is a perfect example of who is, who are we fighting against. what you think of vladimir putin? i don't think of him. i don't think of him at all. i don't think he is a human being at this stage. there is

nothing human in that body, i don't know. ., , , know. your president, president zelensky has _ know. your president, president zelensky has said _ know. your president, president zelensky has said that _ know. your president, president zelensky has said that ukrainian| zelensky has said that ukrainian forces have regained control of the whole of the kyiv region. how encouraged you feel by that? absolutely, absolutely. we hear rumours that the enemy is trying to reinforce their southern destinations for mariupol, for a done yet. so possibly this may be the region staying behind this but, to be fair, i know for a fact that our armed forces who are fighting in kyiv they are the real deal and i'm sure that unless they have shown enormous resistance, the russian forces would never even think of leaving that place. so that stands

as an account for our armed forces in the first place. they are the real legends. absolutely legendary nights. real legends. absolutely legendary ni . hts. ~ , ., real legends. absolutely legendary niuhts. ~ ., ., real legends. absolutely legendary niuhts. ., ., ., nights. well, you are the real deal. thank ou nights. well, you are the real deal. thank you for— nights. well, you are the real deal. thank you for talking _ nights. well, you are the real deal. thank you for talking to _ nights. well, you are the real deal. thank you for talking to us. - thank you for talking to us. the prime minister of pakistan, imran khan has told voters to prepare for a fresh election after a failed attempt by opposition politicans to remove him from office. a no confidence vote in mr khan was ruled �*unconstitutional�* by parliament's deputy speaker. secunder kermani is in islamabad. tell us, first of all, why we have got to the point of a no—confidence vote. what had led to that? weill. vote. what had led to that? well, look, this is _ vote. what had led to that? well, look, this is the _ vote. what had led to that? well, look, this is the latest _ vote. what had led to that? well, look, this is the latest twist - vote. what had led to that? well, look, this is the latest twist in - look, this is the latest twist in this political drama and it took the country really by surprise. the prime minister was elected back in 2018. he came in on a platform of

promising to clamp down on corruption, to create a new, more equal pakistan and he did have a number of achievements during his tenure for example, expanding the social welfare system. but there is also been growing resentment and a significant rise in the cost of living which is really hit ordinary people. even more significantly, it is widely believed that the pakistani army, which has always played an important role either directly or indirectly in this country helped bring into power in 2018. since then, though, a rift appears to have developed between those two sides. 0pposition party sends that rift and try to launch an attack against him. they lowered a number of coalition partners away from him. they defected. and it looked like he was inevitably going to lose a vote of no confidence in parliament because he lost the

support of these coalition allies. it said, though, the deputy speaker has ruled that this vote of no confidence could not go ahead, really meant it unconstitutional. the reason he has done that is because he has been telling pakistanis for the past week or so that this attempt to oust him is actually part of an international conspiracy orchestrated by the united states, trying to attempt regime change in pakistan. his political opponents here have dismissed that as ludicrous. us officials have also said there is no truth in the allegations but this narrative is resonating with at least some of his supporters and it is obviously resonated with the deputy speaker of parliament because thatis deputy speaker of parliament because that is where he stopped this vote of no confidence taking place. after that decision was made he addressed the nation and said they should prepare for early elections and the decision will be made not in parliament about the future of this government but the pakistani people. thank you very much.

sri lanka's government has blocked access to social media and imposed a 36—hour curfew, following protests against food and fuel shortages. the curfew began at dusk on saturday. 0ur south asia correspondent rajini vaidyanathan has more. well, there might be a curfew across sri lanka but here in this part of colombia we found a number of people who have gathered to protest. that is despite a police presence and members of the military that you can maybe make out behind. most of these people are members or supporters of the opposition here. it is actually deserted. there was a mass day of protest but people have mostly stayed at home but some people have

defied the curfew and state of emergency overnight authorities say they arrested more than 600 people for violating the curfew. many people say that their right to protest is being clamped down on. separately, the government has also blocked access to social media sites. that is youtube, facebook, whatsapp, instagram and many people also say that as another example of their basic freedoms of speech being violated during this crisis. it is important to remind people that for weeks now people are crush of anchor have been unable to get hold of the basics. fuel, feud, medicine is in short supply. power cuts for hours on end. many people had directed their anger at the government, who they blame for mismanaging the crisis. the government said the reason it has brought in these make sure that the law and order is maintained but the overall picture is this. things are not getting any better in sri lanka and people are looking for a solution.

let s get some of the day's other news. the supreme leader of the afghan taliban has issued an order banning the cultivation of opium. the decree stipulates that anyone found violating the rules will have their crop destroyed immediately and be treated according to sharia law. the move comes as the group tries to win international legitimacy for its rule after seizing power of the country last august. people in serbia are going to the polls — for presidential and parliamentary elections. president aleksandar vucic and his progressive party are looking to extend their decade—long hold on power. but opposition parties are contesting the elections — after boycotting the parliamentary vote two years ago. 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.

the conservative party has suspended one of its mps, david warburton, following claims about his conduct. sources have told the bbc that three allegations of sexual harassment are being investigated. mr warburton — who represents somerton and frome in somerset — has not responded to a bbc request for comment. 0ur political correspondent, ione wells has the latest. what we know is that david warburton has been suspended from the parliamentary conservative party following these allegations about his conduct. now, he's been the mp for somerton and frome since 2015 and conservative sources have told us that three different allegations of sexual harassment are being investigated. now these are being investigated by parliament's independent complaints and grievance scheme. this is an independent body that was set up specifically to deal with allegations of harassment and bullying against mps to try and make the process independent from mps themselves. now, in terms of the allegations that have been published, the sunday times has reported that three women have complained

about his conduct, and the sunday times has also reported allegations that he had taken cocaine and also that he failed to declare a £100,000 loan from a russian businessman that was taken out in 2017 and has since been repaid. now, he hasn't responded to any of the bbc�*s requests for comments about these allegations. however, he did tell the sunday telegraph today that he had not heard from parliament's independent complaints and grievance scheme and that he had an enormous amount of defense. now, a spokesperson for the conservative whips 0ffice said that he had had the party whip removed, suspended temporarily, and that means that essentially while this investigation is ongoing, he will sit as an independent mp rather than as a conservative mp. the former archbiship of canterbury dr rowan williams has said there is a strong case for the russian 0thodox chruch to be expelled from the world council of churches because of its stance on the war.

the head of the russian orthodox church hasn't condemned the invasion and has likened the conflict to a holy war. bishop kenneth nowakowski is part of a christian congregation in the uk leading prayers across the uk for the people of ukraine. the catholic church is certainly works closely and has worked closely with the world council of churches but is not a member of the world council of churches. but i can understand how those who are members of the world council of churches could see that the lack of condemnation of the war in ukraine and not listening to world leaders such as pope francis to him and said that, in the past, we have understood war in terms of holy wars or just wars but today the

christian conscience has evolved and we no longer see holy wars are just wars but we understand what pieces and that we should be peacemakers. not only has the russian orthodox church not condemn the war but they haven't even called for a ceasefire. that is true. that is also mounting evidence from the world council of churches by many of its supporters would be calling for his expulsion or the expulsion of the russian orthodox church in the world council 0rthodox church in the world council of churches. again, i can only echo what the holy father and our ecclesiastical authorities in the ukrainian catholic church have said over the decades that the row that the church is not to sanction each other but to look towards restoring unity so that the body of christ is no longer broken.— unity so that the body of christ is no longer broken. what would you like to hear—

no longer broken. what would you like to hear from _ no longer broken. what would you like to hear from the _ no longer broken. what would you like to hear from the head - no longer broken. what would you like to hear from the head of - no longer broken. what would you like to hear from the head of the l like to hear from the head of the russian orthodox church, then? i would like him to say that this one must stop. we understand that the majority of those who are fleeing eastern ukraine, especially mariupol and also the majority of the members of the russian soldiers are russian orthodox and so i would like him to say that this war should stop. this aggression should stop. this invasion should stop. this invasion should stop. ukraine is often called the breadbasket of europe. but the war there is now seriously starting to affect the supply of sunflower oil. ukraine and russia produce most of the world's supply of it and it's rapidly becoming unavailable. food manufacturers are now racing to find alternative ingredients which are also going up in price because of global demand. emma simpson reports everyday food, products which all contain sunflower oil, it's now in short supply. and here's a man who knows all about it. so from the uk perspective, we use

the biggest amount of sunflower. so out of all the oil types, so if you take rapeseed olive oil, corn oil, sunflowers, the biggest oil that is used by the uk. so how much supply of it do you have left? so from our perspective from brands, we've got around about four weeks. at the minute, we're still trying to see if we can get some more, but it's looking very tight from a supply perspective after then. if you buy any sort of cooking oil from the supermarket aisles, chances are it's been bottled here. 80% of the global demand for sunflower oil comes out of russia and ukraine. so obviously, with everything going on out there, we physically can't get sunflower to be coming out of the country. you need a lot of it to make crisps. this small producer has already switched to rapeseed oil to keep production going. there's an incredible scramble. everyone's doing the same thing. so while sunflower oil is impossible to get at the moment, rapeseed oil is possible

but difficult to get, and obviously because everyone's having the same idea, the prices are skyrocketing at the moment, of rapeseed oil. at least labelling rules have been relaxed for an industry with a lot on its plate. so at the moment, the immediate focus is on sunflower oil and on other rapeseed oil and things like pollock. but there will be many more products which will be affected as we go through the coming months, and they're going to have to be reformulating hundreds and thousands of products at real speed. back at the bottling plant, they're now working 21w, ramping up the flow of rapeseed and other oils to make sure shoppers have options. emma simpson, bbc news, erith. the grammys are back tonight with "the biggest night in music" taking place in las vegas after various pandemic delays. the 64th annual ceremony will be hosted by the daily show presenter trevor noah at the 17,000—seater mgm grand garden arena, thre will be lots of live performances

and surprise guests. 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 were well below freezing. how about the outlook? bright weather today, 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 earlier 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 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, particularly where it is cloudy and rainy all day long. through monday night into tuesday we will see more the weather front spreading 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 4 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. bye— bye.
