in california's state capital, sacramento. the uk government rules out energy rationing as it prepares to unveil its plans on how to move away from russian gas and oil. hello and welcome if you've just joined us. ukraine's president zelensky has accused russian soldiers of committing genocide as they retreated from towns outside kyiv. the country's prosecutor general says more than 400 bodies have been recovered from the area so far. calls for accountability have come from the us, the uk, germany and other countries — while russia has called the reports a fabrication. there are reports of mass graves in bucha, north west of kyiv.

civilians appear to have had their hands and feet bound before being shot. this report from our correspondent orla guerin. now the immediate danger has passed, the cost is being counted, home by home. some damage is irreparable. oleg takes me into his front garden, the scene of a possible war crime, where an ordinary family was hit by a russian missile. his two—year—old stefan was buried under the rubble. translation: he fell asleep in bed | with new sheets because he wanted| to sleep in ones with stars, so my wife did that for him. he fell asleep, and he never woke up again. he says stefan knew the alphabet and could count to ten.

he was lively and liked to play, but his final days were spent below ground hiding from bombs — not in the garden that was attended with love. the russians may have gone from around kyiv, but oleg is sure the war will grind on. translation: while putin is alive he will be trying - constantly to come to ukraine, and this war will continue unless there's a change in power in russia and unless people learn what's really happening here. at front lines nearby, a glimpse of the damage, of the battles that raged here just a few days ago. ukrainian forces now reclaiming territory after the russians retreated towards belarus. well, here in this area the russians have withdrawn.

ukrainian troops tell us that they were in a village just up the road. they occupied that village. they pulled back two or three days ago, and now ukrainian forces are inside the area checking for mines. in the village of kosorovychi, the russians fired from outside people's front doors, using them as human shields. that's according to mihailo, who had just emerged from the village, and told me they killed one of his neighbours. "his house is at the end of the road," he said, "a two—storey house. "he went home and opened the gate. "he was found lying there shot dead." for the troops, a moment of rest. but there is new trauma here. every day new horrors are coming to light, and there are battles ahead,

in the east and south of ukraine. orla guerin, bbc news, north of kyiv. as we've been reporting, there's been strong condemnation of the horrific scenes discovered in the commuter town of bucha, near kyiv, since russian forces retreated from the area. a warning — we are about to show you some distressing images of a mass grave in the town. ukrainian officials say 57 bodies have been discovered, just outside the capital. nato leaders have voiced their shock and horror at new evidence of atrocities against civilians in ukraine, and have warned that russian troop movements away from kyiv do not signal a withdrawal or end to the violence. nadia volkova is founder and director of the ukrainian legal advisory group — a group of lawyers working on justice and accountability in ukraine since 2015. but since 2018, they've been focusing much more on these sorts of

crimes and the need eventually to prosecute them. thank you for being with us on bbc news and talking to us today. i guess it's fair to say that this doesn't surprise you, what you're seeing, but presumably, however often you see incidents of this kind, it can't take away from just how horrifying they are. yes. just how horrifying they are. yes, it's true. because _ just how horrifying they are. yes, it's true. because it's _ just how horrifying they are. yes, it's true. because it's a _ just how horrifying they are. yes, it's true. because it's a new- just how horrifying they are. 133 it's true. because it's a new phase, it's true. because it's a new phase, it's a lot more violent and a lot more cruel, i suppose, then what we saw in 2014 and subsequent years, until february 2022.— until february 2022. what sort of challen . es until february 2022. what sort of challenges are _ until february 2022. what sort of challenges are there _ until february 2022. what sort of challenges are there for - until february 2022. what sort of challenges are there for the - until february 2022. what sort of i challenges are there for the lawyers who are part of your group and other organisations you work with, and it did the state authorities in ukraine, in terms of collating and assembling the sort of evidence in the middle of a war?— assembling the sort of evidence in the middle of a war? yes, it's been

likely to see any effective prosecution process. with any of those who are accused, even if it's possible to identify them. what form should that take? ukraine will have been a party to the war. will it be possible, or if you like, will it be credible for ukrainians to be prosecuting these crimes when they were committed by a state enemy of ukrainians? ., �* , were committed by a state enemy of ukrainians? . �* , ., , were committed by a state enemy of ukrainians? . �* , . , ukrainians? that's a very good question- _ ukrainians? that's a very good question. there _ ukrainians? that's a very good question. there are _ ukrainians? that's a very good l question. there are mechanisms already available or in the process of being launched, for example, there are various states that have opened already investigations, and they are forming joint investigative teams together with ukraine. there is also the international criminal court and also the regional mechanism, the european court of human rights, that still available until september 2022. however, there

is a great need for ukrainian legal system to be able to tackle these challenges, these crimes, as well, and be an active participant said that ukraine, ukrainian victims, ukrainian witnesses, can see justice being delivered effectively. and ukraine is the state where it must happen. ukraine is the state where it must ha en. ., ukraine is the state where it must ha en, ., ukraine is the state where it must hauen. . , ukraine is the state where it must ha en. ., , ., happen. can i ask... sorry to interrupt. — happen. can i ask... sorry to interrupt, but— happen. can i ask... sorry to interrupt, but we _ happen. can i ask... sorry to interrupt, but we are - happen. can i ask... sorry to interrupt, but we are a - happen. can i ask... sorry to interrupt, but we are a bit i happen. can i ask... sorry to i interrupt, but we are a bit tight for time for top can i ask, finally, what's the lesson of what happened in the former yugoslavia in the 19905? is that in the former yugoslavia in the 1990s? is that a good, or at least, a potential model for ukraine this time around?— a potential model for ukraine this time around? absolutely, yes. this is something _ time around? absolutely, yes. this is something that _ time around? absolutely, yes. this is something that ukraine - time around? absolutely, yes. this is something that ukraine should . is something that ukraine should look closely at and adopt something similar because instead of the yugoslavia we have the icc now but at the domestic level, when it was set up, the bosnian war crimes... this is something similar we are aiming for as well.—

the individual constituencies, 106 individual constituencies, fidesz, mr corbyn�*s parted, is ahead in 87 and the opposition are heading 19. —— viktor 0rban�*s party, fidesz. whereas on the party lists, fidesz has 56% to the opposition�*s 32%. and there's also something of an upset, an interesting result of the far right our homeland movement looks set to get into parliament with over 6%. so at the state of the evening, with well over half the votes counted, it looks like it will be a landslide victory for viktor 0rban and certainly this would be a remarkable achievement, four consecutive terms in office, if, of course, with the caution, if this is confirmed with the official results. what does it mean for the kind of policies that viktor 0rban would pursue if he is re—elected, given that he has had this affair

combative stand—off with the eu over the way money is spent and whether or not hungary is sufficiently robust in its anti—corruption procedures? robust in its anti-corruption procedures?— robust in its anti-corruption procedures? robust in its anti-corruption rocedures? ., �*, procedures? that's right, he, i think, would _ procedures? that's right, he, i think, would interpret - procedures? that's right, he, i think, would interpret on i procedures? that's right, he, i think, would interpret on past| procedures? that's right, he, i- think, would interpret on past form this result, if that's what it turns into, as a massive vote of legitimacy. he can turn around, as he has done so often in the past, to brussels and say, "look, i have the backing, the strong legitimacy, the strong democratic legitimacy, of my own people, so who are you to challenge that?" and i think that you's response would be, as it has been until now, these are eu values and if you run roughshod over the rule of law, as the european court ofjustice has often found, then they would continue to challenge him." so i think it does increase the strong likelihood of

further conflict between the fidesz government and the european union in future. you might hear shouting in the background there, i am outside the background there, i am outside the fidesz headquarters and in the last minute, more and more fidesz supporters are arriving here and every now and then, we get a cheer as a new result comes in from around the country. as a new result comes in from around the country-— the country. let's see how the cheers and — the country. let's see how the cheers and disappointments . the country. let's see how the l cheers and disappointments way the country. let's see how the i cheers and disappointments way up the country. let's see how the - cheers and disappointments way up as the evening progresses. for now, thank you very much. if viktor 0rban wins, somebody else who looks like they have one is in serbia, where a general election is also taking place. the ruling serbian progressive party looks like it is coming first in the parliamentary vote, over 40% of the vote, according to ipsos projection based on partial vote count. less surprising perhaps is that the incumbent president is also set to win a second term according to the

projection. not confirmed results, not formally notified and authorised by the electoral commission in serbia but they are at the moment the best projections of what's happening in serbia, and a third country facing a general election is pakistan, where the president has dissolved parliament and a step that will lead to an early general election. it follows an attempt to remove prime minister imran khan from office. but parliament's deputy speaker refused to hold a vote of no—confidence that mr khan was expected to lose. mr khan has claimed on pakistan television that the us is leading a conspiracy to remove him because of his criticism of us policy and otherforeign policy decisions he has taken. 0pposition politicians ridiculed the allegation, and the us has denied it. for more on this i am now joined by aqil shah. he is the author of the army and democracy: military politics in pakistan. and many people see the army's

fingerprints all over this, is that fair? that fingerprints all over this, is that fair? �* ., fair? at the moment, the constitutional _ fair? at the moment, the constitutional crisis i fair? at the moment, the constitutional crisis has i fair? at the moment, the i constitutional crisis has been created by a brazen violation of the constitution by the deputy speaker of the national assembly, who throughout the no confidence motion, which imran khan was going to lose. —— who through out the no—confidence motion. he is a party line list of imran khan. —— eight party loyalist. imran khan. —— eight party loyalist. imran khan. —— eight party loyalist. imran khan was installed by the military in 2018, and he has been dependent on their coaches to survive. in recent months, the army has distanced itself from imran khan and that's one of the main reasons why the opposition was able to unite and move against him in parliament. but he has now, i think he has no

respect for the constitution. it seems like he wants to hold onto power no matter what. i seems like he wants to hold onto power no matter what.— seems like he wants to hold onto power no matter what. i raised the ruestion power no matter what. i raised the question about _ power no matter what. i raised the question about the _ power no matter what. i raised the question about the army, - power no matter what. i raised the question about the army, it - power no matter what. i raised the question about the army, it is i question about the army, it is interesting when you say he has no respect for the constitution, the army doesn't have come in the constitution, the role it has ended up constitution, the role it has ended up having in politics. there have been a number of military governments that have taken office. what's the explanation for the influence that the military appears to continue to hold sway, and the fact that the leading general can feel it's perfectly legitimate for him to go on television and publicly distance himself or stand against the policy of the elected government?— the policy of the elected government? w , ., government? pakistan, as you said, has a sordid — government? pakistan, as you said, has a sordid history _ government? pakistan, as you said, has a sordid history of _ government? pakistan, as you said, has a sordid history of military i has a sordid history of military coups in military governments. it an institution that enjoys autonomy from civilian governments. part of

putting the icing on a splendid day at tottenham hotspur stadium. spurs now go above arsenal into the top four. we tried to continue to play in this way, with this intensity and accuracy and attention. i think my team is improving, it is improving in many aspects. the tactical, the mentality... yeah, i am very happy. earlier on sunday there was a fifth defeat in 6 league matches for frank lampard's everton after a 2—1 defeat at west ham united. aaron cresswell scored the hammers' first with an impressive free kick. mason holgate equalised for everton eight minutes after half time. but jarrod bowen scored what would prove to be the winner for west ham on the hour mark. to add to everton's misery, captain michael keane was sent off for his second bookable offence. that's three consecutive red cards for everton in the league. relegation fears aplenty

for the toffees. they're just three points above the drop zone. the performance was good, a lot of things went against us, that was a sign of the moment. but there are so many positives in terms of how we approached the game. we deserve a lot more. we certainly deserved a point. but you have to keep going, every striker, every team goes through moments, we created the better chances and if we do that, then we win games. ten more games to do that. quick tour of the european leagues for you. there are five matches in la liga on sunday with barcelona and sevilla currently in action at the camp nou. ba rca are currently 4th while sevilla are flying high in 2nd. it's 0-0 it's 0—0 there into the second half. athletic bilbao beat elche 2—1 earlier. real betis won 4—1 against 0sasuna. there are also five games in italy's serie a. earlier fiorentina beat empoli 1—0. second place napoli won 3—1 away to atalanta to keep the pressure on ac milan at the top.

they're tied on 66 points. milan though with a game in hand. further down the table udinese hammered cagliari 5—1. henrik mkihtarian scored the only goal as roma won at sampdoria. third place inter lead 1—0 away at fourth place juventus. hakan calhanoglu's controversial penalty the difference so far. just two matches in the bundesliga to tell you about. augsburg beat wolfsburg 3—0. it finished 1—1 between borussia munchengladbach and mainz. australia have won the women's world cup title, after beating defending champions england in christchurch. chasing a mammoth 357 to win, england fell short despite nat sivver�*s 148 not out. it was a record shattering day for the aussies after adding the 50—over title to the t20 world cup and ashes crowns they already hold. alyssa healy crashed an astonishing 170 from 138 balls, the highest score in either a women's or men's world cup final. the whole 20 world cup, we can make the final in 2017, so for me this

trophy means a lot and that has to be able to turn up at the back end and go all right in the last two games, yeah, it means a whole heap. finally, in england, 0xford university's men won the annual boat race, which returned this year to the river thames. 0xford dominated the race, the 167th to take place. it was their first victory since 2017, and they did it in a time of 16 minutes and 47 seconds. 0xford now have 81 wins to cambridge's 85. earlier, cambridge extended their winning run in the women's race to five after dominating the 76th race between the two universities. cambridge set a new record on the thames course, which stretches 6.84 kilometres. the race was cancelled in 2020 and held away from the thames last year because of the coronavirus pandemic. that's all the sport for now. thank you very much. lovely to see the boat race back where it belongs.

the british government says — unlike some european countries — it won't consider energy rationing. energy bills have increased significantly for households in england, scotland and wales, partly due to the war in ukraine. but more fundamentally because of the rising cost of energy. a new energy strategy is due to be released, though, as the bbc�*s politcal correspondent iain watson reports. with fuel costs soaring, some people are already rationing their own energy use. david is on universal credit and, at his flat near sheffield, he has stopped using gas. he now relies on relatively cheaper electricity for washing and heating. we are living in the 21st century and ifeel as if i am going backwards and doing things that, you know, are probably what you would hear people did in the olden days. the government has not ruled out more help for fuel bills in the coming months, but labour and some conservative mps have been turning the heat up on the government now.

i feel angry at the scale of the crisis people in this country are facing and the lack of response from government in the spring statement and promises of things, announcements in the future, just won't cut it. but this week, the prime minister will focus on what the government will do in the longer term to secure the country's energy supplies in a more volatile world. it was almost a month ago when the prime minister promised us a new energy strategy within days, but the details and the financing have proved tricky. some of his own cabinet colleagues were worried that any moves to make it easier to build new, onshore wind farms in england, could prove politically unpopular, so i am told any specific targets for increasing wind production onshore could be dropped. people could be given lower fuel bills if they agree to have wind farms in their area, but the core energy strategy will focus on new nuclear capacity over time and an expanding offshore wind. by and large, i think it is better to build significant

wind power offshore. i think that is where it performs better, because it tends to be windier, apart from anything else, you can build it, huge masts, much, much bigger than they could ever be onshore. more controversial are plans to increase north sea oil and gas production in the short—term. the government says its commitment to reduce carbon emissions is unshakeable, but a lot of political energy will now be needed to change how we power our industries and heat our homes. iain watson, bbc news. at least six people have died in an early—morning shooting in sacramento, california, the city's police department has confirmed. police said several blocks of a commercial stretch of the downtown area were closed while they investigate. they also say 12 people have been injured in the shooting. 0ur correspondent in california david willis has more details on the shootings. a total of six dead, ten injured, according to reports on the ground there from the state capital, california's state capital, sacramento.

this is a downtown area, littered with bars and restaurants. it's close to an arena called the golden 0ne center, where basketball games and concerts take place. indeed, there was one taking place there earlier this evening. and the police said earlier this morning in a tweet that officers located at least 15 shooting victims, including six who are deceased. as you heard in that interview a short while ago, the police have no suspects in custody and they're appealing for any witnesses to come forward, anybody who might have a video. there is some unverified video circulating on social media which shows a group of people, women and men, involved in a scuffle on the street corner, whereupon gun shots can be heard. don't forget, we will be bringing

you all the news from the grammy awards overnight. to stay with us on bbc news for the very latest on all these stories on bbc news website. hello there. a big change is taking place in our weather. some places started on sunday morning with temperatures below minus seven celsius, but monday morning will start on a much milder note, but with some damp and breezy weather, courtesy of a frontal system pushing in from the north west. it is a warm front, so, as the name suggests, behind it, the air will be turning warmer, or at least milder. this wedge of milder air spilling south eastwards across the uk dominating the weather as we head into monday. so, as we go through tonight, that frontal system will bring cloud and outbreaks of rain, moving south eastwards and particularly heavy rain over higher ground in western scotland and after a chilly evening in the south, temperatures will tend to climb through the night, so by monday morning, 6—11 degrees.

a very, very different feel, with lots of cloud, some outbreaks of rain, some heavy bursts of rain, clearing southwards through the morning and then in england and wales, they are seeing something a little drier, still with a lot of cloud, the odd spot of drizzle, limited brightness, showery rain then returning to northern and western scotland and parts of northern ireland, as we go through the afternoon. top temperatures typically 11—15, so milder than it has been, colder than that, though, across the far north in shetland and as we move out of monday into tuesday, we bring this weather front southwards. this is a cold front, so it tries to reintroduce some cold air. now, at this stage, it looks like the cold air will not make a lot of progress southwards, so most of us stay with mild conditions. some brightness down towards the south, generally quite a lot of cloud, outbreaks of rain especially between northern england, northern ireland and southern scotland and then on the northern edge of that weather system, well, remember that cold air? it is likely that we will see some snow, especially over the high ground, in the highlands, and the grampians. we could be looking at 10—20 centimetres of snow,

particularly as we head into tuesday night. just 4 or 5 degrees here on tuesday afternoon, 4 in aberdeen, 10 in glasgow and from glasgow, edinburgh southwards, we stay in the mild air. through tuesday night into wednesday, this area of low pressure moves its way eastwards, deepening as it goes, there will be some brisk winds, still some snow in northern scotland, lost three showers elsewhere on wednesday in that cold scotland, ——blustery showers elsewhere on wednesday in that cold air tries to sink further south as we head towards the end of the week, there could be some further wintry weather for some.

this is bbc world news, the headlines — international condemnation of what appears to be the systematic killing of ukrainian civilians by retreating russian forces. with vote counting underway in hungary's elections, prime minister viktor 0rban appears to be comfortably ahead. pakistan's parliament is dissolved after prime minister imran khan survives a move to oust him ahead of new elections. at least six people have been killed and 12 are in hospital following a mass shooting in california's state capital, sacramento. now on bbc news, amol rajan speaks to actor ian mckellen, one of the most celebrated performers of his generation and someone who has long defied convention and expectation.
