reborn in a new exhibition. hello and welcome. ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, has called on western countries to boycott russian oil — saying their failure to do so quickly was costing ukrainians their lives. in his latest video address, he welcomed new sanctions against russia, but said they didn't go far enough. the us has announced restrictions on russian banks and president putin's adult daughters. simonjones reports. this is the reality of life under constant russian shelling. in srebrodolskite in the east

of ukraine its taking its toll. translation: it�*s commonplace at the moment. there was also shelling here before and the house there was hit. my neighbour's house was hit. iam scared. people in the east of the country are being urged to flee now while they still can by the ukrainian government, with russia expected to intensify its attacks there. residents told this is a matter of life and death. the red cross has helped evacuate people from the besieged city of mariupol, though it's thought 130,000 remain trapped there. as you can see, we have made it to zaporizhzhia with seven other buses and more than 500 civilians that were coming out of mariupol. we hope that we'll be back and continue to provide the safe passage to the civilians. in areas around the capital kyiv, the ukrainian forces

are now back in control. the russian withdrawal is complete, according to the pentagon. sobbing. that's allowing residents who have fled the fighting to return. but it's a painful homecoming when your home's been destroyed and the horror of what's happened sinks in. in the town of hostamel, officials say more than 400 people are missing. the uk and the us are stepping up sanctions against russia. the us is targeting president putin's daughters, including katerina tikhonova. her work is said to support russia's defense industry as growing evidence emerges of atrocities by russian troops. there's nothing less happening than major war crimes. responsible nations have to come together to hold these perpetrators accountable, and together with our allies and our partners, we're going to keep raising the economic costs and ratchet up the pain for putin and further increase russia's economic isolation. russia has described the sanctions as absolutely unlawful and unprecedented,

but the ukrainian president says they don't go far enough. translation: if there's not a really painful package - of sanctions against russia, and if we don't get the supply of weapons that we really need, which we've asked for many times, it will be considered by russia as permission, permission to go further, permission to attack. permission to start a new bloody wave in the donbas. as nato resumes discussions on how best to arm ukraine against the renewed russian attack, the foreign secretary, liz truss, says the age of engagement with the kremlin is over. simon jones, bbc news. now we'll be getting an expert view on how effective those sanctions will be in our business coverage shortly. let s get some more updates on ukraine now. nato foreign ministers will resume discussions in brussels this morning on how best to arm ukraine against a renewed russian attack, which they expect to be

launched in the east of the country. at a nato dinner last night, the uk foreign secretary liz truss called for the alliance to toughen its response — saying the time for engagement with russia was over. the head of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, will visit kyiv later for talks with ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky. they are expected to dicuss the support provided by the eu to the country in the face of the russian invasion, both in the country and for the millions of refugees now in the eu. the visit takes place in the run—up to the pledging conference #standupforukraine organised in warsaw on saturday. the united states says it has trained a small number of ukrainian soldiers in the use of an anti—tank drone called switchblade. the single—use weapon flies into its target and detonates on impact. the pentagon plans to send 100 drones to ukraine to bolster the fight against russian forces.

a close ally of president zelensky has accused the west of �*cowardice' for not giving more military support to the ukrainian army. as russian troops are repositioning in the east to launch a new attack, there's growing frustration among ukrainians over the response from western allies to the russian invasion. our world affairs editor, john simpson, reports from lviv, in western ukraine. at an orthodox church in lviv, there's a double funeral. both soldiers were in their 40s. both died fighting with ukrainian forces in the east of the country. nato estimates that ukraine's losses are something like a third of russia's. in this bitter war the ukrainians have two advantages — a ferocious determination to drive the russians out, and the weaponry that they're getting from nato.

but the ukrainian government wants more weapons urgently. maxim kositsky is the governor of lviv and a close ally of president zelensky. what does ukraine need most? is it medical supplies? is it clothes? is it food or is it weapons? translation: what we need| the most is modern weapons, anti—ship systems, anti—aircraft systems, systems with which we can fight against tanks and aircraft, as well as heavy weapons because we have to stop the enemy. but our goal is not to stop the enemy. it's to oust him from ukrainian land. like his president, kositsky believes nato isn't giving ukraine nearly enough weapons. he's pretty scathing.

translation: in my i opinion, from the west, there's a policy of double standards and cowardice. it's cowardice not to call a spade a spade, and cowardice not to take any position, and cowardice leads to tragedies. ukraine is starting to get tanks from nato, elderly, soviet made ones from the czech republic. but what ukraine really wants is more heavy guns and more missile systems. nato insists it's supplying them as fast as possible, but it's not as much or as quickly as ukraine says it needs. john simpson, bbc news, lviv. other news now: in peru — a protester has been killed and several people injured in clashes with police. people there have been taking to the streeets for several days now demonstrating against the rising cost of fuel and food. the protesters were blocking a major highway in the south of the country.

shelley phelps reports. thousands of peruvians taking to the street in nationwide anti—government protests sparked by rising fuel prices. some protesters set fire to tyres, looted government buildings and clashed with police. in the capital, lima, residents had been surveying the damage. translation: people do not understand. . they should not destroy things. just look at this. i came to drop off some documents and i can't because everything is destroyed. i don't agree with vandalism. the war in ukraine has set the price of fertiliser and fuel in peru soaring. at a time when the country was already suffering from high inflation. on tuesday, peruvian president pedro castillo called off a curfew in the capital that had been widely criticised as authoritarian,

by critics. translation: peru is not going through a good time but it is - the powers of the state that have to solve it. the peruvian government says it is doing what it can to try to stabilise prices and calm the situation, but the president is fending off calls for his resignation from the opposition. translation: we will not allow new dictatorships, nor _ will we allow peru i to continue sinking. the fury of the people is unleashed. - peru is outraged. plummeting approval ratings and calls for fresh elections are the latest challenge for the president who recently survived a second impeachment attempt less than a year into office. protesters say they want to send a message. this one reads, "castillo out". shelley phelps, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news —

still to come... when politics meets pop — the ukrainian group hoping to win eurovision — make a visit to israel. 25 years of hatred and rage as theyjump up on the statue. this funeral became a massive demonstration of black power, of power to influence. today is about the promise of a bright future, a day when we hope a line can be drawn under the bloody past.

combat climate disinformation. the companies definition of climate disinformation will include inaccurate posts about natural disasters. pinterest is a place where users put up images and photos around their hobbies and interests and has more than 400 million users. we can now speak to peter gleick, a climate scientist and senior fellow at the pacific institute in california. warm welcome to the programme. tell us more about pinterest move as it were, but it is hoping to achieve. i move as it were, but it is hoping to achieve. i think this is a good _ hoping to achieve. i think this is a good step. _ hoping to achieve. i think this is a good step. it _ hoping to achieve. i think this is a good step. it is _ hoping to achieve. i think this is a good step. it is a - hoping to achieve. i think this is a good step. it is a little i is a good step. it is a little bit of a step, not a huge step. and it is going to help keep a lot of dangerous disinformation from spreading. they are going to take down posts by climate deniers, take down posts that

misused data or cherry picked data to present a false conclusion. there is a lot of climate misinformation and disinformation out there. but this sort of thing has to be done thoughtfully and carefully. there are lots of important things to share and discuss about climate change, just not the false messages that unfortunately we have been getting for a long time from hard—core climate deniers. figs hard-core climate deniers. as ou hard-core climate deniers. as you say. _ hard—core climate deniers. as you say, it is very important this is done well and that is not easy because the climate deniers can argue that information is being managed which fuels their own conspiracy theories, as it were. . , conspiracy theories, as it were. ., , were. that is exactly the oint. were. that is exactly the point- the _ were. that is exactly the point. the science - were. that is exactly the point. the science of - were. that is exactly the - point. the science of climate change is incredibly clear and has been for a long time. as you pointed out, the ipccjust released its sixth assessment about the science of this, we have been talking about this for a long time and the reality of climate change is undeniable. not to say it is not denied, that is the

challenge. and so discussing questions about how to deal with climate change, is that is perfectly legitimate, there's lots of interesting policies thereby denying the science of climate change, misusing data, those things, there's no reason to publish those things and there's no reason for platforms, social media platforms, social media platforms or mainstream media platforms or mainstream media platforms to promote and amplify bad messages. from a ractical amplify bad messages. from a practical point _ amplify bad messages. from a practical point of _ amplify bad messages. from a practical point of view, - amplify bad messages. from a practical point of view, how - practical point of view, how will pinterest pull this off, it will have to be human moderators policing this? i think that is what they have announced, there will be human moderators. it will be a challenge but there is some precedent for this. google has limited the ability of climate deniers to profit from its platform, pinterest has previously banned dangerous health information during the pandemic and certain kinds of political ads, weight loss ads. facebook has a climate science centre at that is supposed to,

although i'd would argue not very effectively, fact check controversial statements about climate and they put labels on misinformation so it is possible to do. i am sure it will be an evolving process but it is an important process. thank you for sharing your thoughts. let s get some of the day s other news the cross—channel disruption caused by the suspension of p&0's services from dover in england has worsened. there are now so many lorries queueing to get to france that more of the m20 motorway has had to be closed — to act as a giant lorry park. p&0 ferries says it hopes to resume sailings to calais by next week, but the coastguard says no further safety inspections of their ships are planned at present. the uk government has unveiled its long—awaited energy strategy, which aims to curtail the use of imported fuel by boosting renewable power generation. a regulator will be created to oversee the building of a new generation of nuclear plants and a target's been set to produce enough wind energy to power every home in the uk by 2030.

i'll have more on this in about ten minutes. a shirt worn by the argentine footballer diego maradona when he scored his famous "hand of god" goal against england in 1986 has been put up for auction. maradona wore the infamous number ten shirt in the world cup in mexico when he put argentina ahead by punching the ball into the net. let's get all the latest sports news now from the bbc sport centre. hello, i'm mimi fawaz. we start with football and real madrid with the first leg advantage in their european champions league quarter final tie against the holders chelsea. karim benzema followed up his hat trick in the last round against paris saint—germain by scoring another as real won 3—1 at stamford bridge. kai havertz scored for chelsea, but they've now conceded seven goals in their last

two home games. they face an uphill battle in next week's second leg in spain as real madrid continue their bid for a record extending 14th european title. we have to find our level back and didn't know. i don't know where it is, but since national outbreak of the first half is a repetition of the second half against brentford in a quarterfinal against real madrid. so far off our level in absolutely everything, what a game demands that you cannot expect a result from this kind of performance. and we have to get the things ready for saturday and don't think about bernabeu today because saturday we face, southampton. and if we continue to play like this, we will not get a point. in the night's other tie, bayern munich suffered a shock first leg defeat. the six time winners were beaten in spain by villareal. dutch international arnaut danjuma scored the only

goal of the game for last season's europa league winners, but they also had a goal disallowed and gerard moreno nearly scored from inside his own half. the second leg is in germany next tuesday. golf now, and the first men's major of the year gets underway later on thursday when the world's top players tee it up at the masters at augusta national. the defending champion, japan's hideki matsuyama, is aiming to become the first back to back winner since tiger woods 20 years ago. scottie scheffler of the usa is the current world number one, but the man he replaced at the top of the rankings, spain'sjon rahm, is a slight favourite to win in a wide open field. whoever wins will have to come through one of the sport's toughest tests at augusta. it's a major championship. it's a place like none other. the course is hard. it's kind of made to make you feel uncomfortable. i know if i play well, i'll give myself chances to win this golf tournament.

and it's just a matter of going out there and executing the way you know that you can and stick to your gameplan and be patient and be disciplined and all the things you need to do around augusta national. two players whose hopes of winning the masters may have been dashed on wednesday — are mike weir and mackenzie hughes. that's because they were declared the joint winners of the traditional pre masters par three contest, and no player has ever won both in the same year. weir already has a greenjacket, though. back in 2003, he became the first canadian and the first left hander to win the masters. he posted a total of four under parfor the par three competition. he shared the title with fellow canadian mackenzie hughes, who was among the many golfers that were accompanied by their wives and children. hughes's baby son clearly wants to caddie for him in the future, as you can see there on your screen.

kevin kisner�*s son could be a future masters champion, for the record, is that finished well down the leaderboard. what a great swing. well, that's all that you get for now for the sports, but we'll back a little later, but lots more on the bbc sport website. but for me and the rest of the team, goodbye for now. it's almost three years now since a devastating fire tore through paris' notre dame cathedral. a massive restoration project is well underway to return it to its former glory. but in the meantime you can go to a new exhibition where virtual reality will show you the cathedral�*s future — and its past. the bbc�*s tim allman has more. it was a moment that shocked a nation and stunned the world. one of the most famous and historic places of worship, consumed by smoke and flame. notre dame was rescued, and if all goes to plan, it will eventually be restored. but there is a way to explore this grand cathedral before the doors reopen properly

to the public. so here, visitors will visit a new kind of exhibition, which we call augmented exhibition, because they will be able to do an incredible journey into history. 0n special computer tablets, you can go back in time and effectively witness key moments in history. see when the cathedral was first built. or even witness the coronation of napoleon. the designers have a bold ambition in mind. to create a vanished world that was never presented either in drawings or in text or in cinema. we have to find something completely new, to immerse people in the past. the exhibition will eventually go on tour, visiting more than a dozen capital cities in the next two years. a journey into the past,

a promise for the future. the ukrainian group, kalush 0rchestra, are the favourites to win eurovision next month. later on thursday they will be making their first international performance since the invasion of ukraine. the six members of the band were given special permission to go to israel, for a pre eurovision concert, as men of military age are banned from leaving the country. the bbc s middle east correspondent, yolande knell, went to meet them. this band hasn't had the usual glitzy run up to eurovision. kalish 0rchestra represents ukraine. when russia invaded, they were on tour. translation: the day the war began we were returning - from tour from the city

of dnipro and we came across the explosions. we heard them ourselves. everyone's lives changed. translation: one member of our band has been - in the civil defence defending kyiv. i have created my own volunteer organisation. we help people to find shelter, medicines, transport. 0leg wrote the band's eurovision entry, stefania, for his mother, but he tells me it's become an anthem for all mothers and for all ukraine. translation: this song really became a super. hit in ukraine now. people liked it a lot. its lyrics are very heartfelt and since and now in this situation, everybody misses their mom. it makes some people think of ukraine as our mother. after weeks of only being able

to rehearse together online, the six members of the band are performing together for ukrainians in israel. we are all veterans here. so we love ukraine. we like ukrainian music and we really hope that they win the eurovision. culture is a big part of, - i think, part of politics too. so songs, it's something thatj can say truth to all the world. so the band is already hugely popular with ukrainians, including those now living abroad as refugees. the hope is that on eurovision night, they're going to win over the rest of europe with their music and give their country a big morale boost. and with politics always playing a part in eurovision votes, ukraine is already the favourite to win this year's contest. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem.

and we wish them all the very best. your business stories coming up next. hello. i think skies like this on thursday — large cumulus clouds — and over the high ground, certainly the possibility of some wintry showers. but wherever you are on thursday, there's a chance of catching a little bit of rain. but there'll be lengthy sunny spells, too, so it's not all bad. but the weather is unsettled, and you can see low pressures there moving off the atlantic in our direction. one such area of low pressure currently crossing the uk, giving a spell of some very windy weather from northern ireland through the irish sea, but particularly windy around the lancashire coastline around merseyside. northern parts of wales, gusts of wind here approaching 60 mph for a time during the early morning, and also across the highlands of scotland, the cold northerly wind bringing a covering of snow across the hills there. now the temperatures early

on thursday morning, three celsius in aberdeen, eight celsius in london. and then this is the picture through the day — the low pressure is out in the north sea by this stage, but on the backside of it, the winds are coming in from the north. so it's a cold wind, a really gusty wind, it really will feel very chilly. these are the gusts of wind approaching, 40—50 mph in places. so with temperatures of only around seven celsius, it really will feel very nippy on the north sea coast — only seven there in newcastle. and again, i said those showers could be wintry across the high ground. further south, i think the sunny spells will be most prolonged, so actually feeling pretty decent in the southwest. now this is the following night — so thursday night into friday — the possibility of some rain grazing the south of the country. here temperatures will be four celsius, but for the rest of us the following night, it will be quite frosty. so a chilly start to friday morning, the possibility of some rain along the southern counties, and also the possibility of further wintry showers across scotland,

mostly across the hills there. but i think, again, lots of sunny spells on the way, and disappointing temperatures between 8—12 celsius so below the average for the time of the year. here's the outlook, then, as we head over the next few days and into the weekend — it will calm down, i think saturday is actually not a bad day for most of us. sunday will become more unsettled once again. that's it from me, bye—bye.

this is bbc news with the latest business headlines. a major boost for nuclear power — the uk government unveils its long—awaited energy strategy, but critics argue there's nothing to help families struggling with rising bills. the sanctions list against russia gets longer with putin's daughters now targeted — we assess how effective this economic punishment is. and with the first round of the french elections coming up this weekend — we look at the impact shortages
