hello, i'm kasia madera, this is outside source. the un has voted to suspend russia from its human rights council. before votes were case, ukraine's un ambassador had this message. the us says evidence of atrocities is growing. the us says evidence of atrocities is curowin. w the us says evidence of atrocities is curowin. ,., the us says evidence of atrocities is curowin. , ., ., the us says evidence of atrocities is growing-— the us says evidence of atrocities is curowin. , ., ., ., ., is growing. each state more and more credible reports _ is growing. each state more and more credible reports of— is growing. each state more and more credible reports of rape, _ is growing. each state more and more credible reports of rape, killings, - credible reports of rape, killings, torture are emerging.— credible reports of rape, killings, torture are emerging. ukraine says the battle to the _ torture are emerging. ukraine says the battle to the east _ torture are emerging. ukraine says the battle to the east of— torture are emerging. ukraine says the battle to the east of the - the battle to the east of the country will remind the world of the second world war. 25 million people

are under lockdown in shanghai as covid—19 cases arise. people say that food is running out. figs covid—19 cases arise. people say that food is running out. fissi that food is running out. as i continue _ that food is running out. as i continue to _ that food is running out. as i continue to try _ that food is running out. as i continue to try and _ that food is running out. sisi continue to try and order that food is running out. isi continue to try and order it the basket is actually being depleted. in fact it's going right down already. and here in the uk — plans for eight new reactors under a new energy plan, to reduce reliance on foreign oil and gas the united nations general assembly has voted to suspend russia from the un's human rights council. it's over violations of human rights and atrocities in the ukrainian city of bucha. this is the moment the expulsion was approved, with 93 votes for, 2a against, and 58 abstentions
7:02 pm
it is important to remember that russia is one of the five powerful permanent members of the security council and none of these permanent members have ever been removed from any human body so let us from ukraine's ambassador. we feel voting to suspend a state of human counsel rights as a rare and extraordinary action. however russia's actions are beyond the pale. let us take a closer look at how the votes unfolded. 93 nations in the un general assembly supported russia plus plus an extension. 2a nations voted against it and came out was among that number. it has requested and highlights of moscow and has avoided criticising russia's
7:03 pm
invasion of ukraine. 58 nations abstained. talk us through the vote. it's interesting to see it was not a unanimous vote and not a united nations asides.— nations asides. that is right. it's im ortant nations asides. that is right. it's important to _ nations asides. that is right. it's important to remember this - nations asides. that is right. it's important to remember this is i nations asides. that is right. it's. important to remember this is the third resolution passed under this image session on ukraine in the general assembly. image session on ukraine in the generalassembly. in image session on ukraine in the general assembly. in the first two resolutions got mi votes and then mo votes in favour of resolution censuring russia for the invasion and then for the humanitarian situation. so, here we have far fewer votes in favour this time around because it's notjust about the conflict itself, its about suspending russia as a un member from the human rights council and as you mentioned it's never been done
7:04 pm
before for a permanent member of a security council. while we had libya removed from the council in 2011 and after protesters were attacked by forces loyal to gaddafi we have not had in this kind of scale for a permanent security council member. we did have far more votes against the resolution as well compared to the resolution as well compared to the past two and we heard from china, ethiopia, latin american countries like venezuela, cuba, iran, syria, others using this attack that this was a politcised resolution and that we should wait until there is an investigation of the claims to take this kind of measure against russia. and we did see abstentions again from india and the united arab emirates so they are abstaining on this resolution. very interesting divide here in the un.
7:05 pm
it is a fascinating divide. in terms of what the impact for that un in terms of the security council i wonder if you can help us understand where the human rights council and how that fits in with the un itself and the greater scheme of things. the human rights council is based in geneva and the whole idea is that the members who are elected by their counterparts, the 47 member body is supposed to shine a light on some of the worst violations of human rights around the world. and a member can be suspended if they violate that. we have rationale, they will not be able to vote, they will not be able to speak in the human rights council sessions any more and while the human rights council is not legally binding place in the same way the security council and their resolutions are legally binding they
7:06 pm
do set up investigations as we saw on ukraine this last month that was set up. they set of fact—finding missions, commissions of inquiry, we have seen that in the past in myanmar, syria, countless different situations and they can use that evidence to try in the future to prosecute war crimes. the human rights council does also shine a light on issues like disability, racism so it is a council that does gets a lot of attention in terms of shining lights on a lot of the abuses that the un would want the world to know about.— abuses that the un would want the world to know about. thank you for -auttin world to know about. thank you for putting that — world to know about. thank you for putting that into — world to know about. thank you for putting that into context _ world to know about. thank you for putting that into context for - world to know about. thank you for putting that into context for us. - putting that into context for us. there was a lot of reaction coming from russia about this. this is what the un at the un general assembly. here is what they deputy ambassador had to say after the vote. irate
7:07 pm
here is what they deputy ambassador had to say after the vote.— had to say after the vote. we re'ect the untruthful �* had to say after the vote. we re'ect the untruthful allegations �* had to say after the vote. we reject the untruthful allegations against i the untruthful allegations against us based on staged defence and widely circulated fakes. that was the russian side speaking just before the vote. sitter that was the russian side speaking just before the vote.— just before the vote. after the boat we heard from _ just before the vote. after the boat we heard from the _ just before the vote. after the boat we heard from the un _ just before the vote. after the boat we heard from the un secretary i just before the vote. after the boat we heard from the un secretary of| we heard from the un secretary of state. as i was coming into this room i learned that you member states had come together once again to condemn russia's aggression and suspend it from the human rights council. the country perpetrating gross and systematic violations of human rights should not fit on a body whose job it is to protect those rights. today a wrong was righted.
7:08 pm
let's examine what russia has been accused of. this footage is from the ukrainian ministry of defence. it shows what remains of the town of borodyanka. we know that blocks of flats were bombed there, trapping civilians beneath the rubble. there've been reports that russian troops fired at those who attempted to dig them out. we still don't have a full picture of what took place. but ukraine's prosecutor general said: �*the worst situation with civilian victims is in borodyanka.�* and in bucha, mass graves reportedly containing hundreds of bodies, were discovered. this satellite image is alleged to show one. authorities in bucha also say they found five bodies with their hands tied in what they called a �*torture chamber�*.
7:09 pm
this was the message from the ukrainian foreign minister. the massacre is just the tip of the iceberg. we already see from reports from mariupol that it is much much worse. he was speaking at a meeting of nato foreign ministers, who've gathered in brussels for a second day. they've been discussing what support to offer ukraine at this stage of the invasion. mr kuleba issued this plea. icame i came here with a simple message. my i came here with a simple message. my agenda for the discussion had only three items. its weapons, weapons, and weapons. to win the war first and foremost you need weapons.
7:10 pm
the us secretary of state had a strong message for moscow. more and more credible reports of rape, killings, torture are emerging and for every bucha there are many more towns russia has occupied and more towns it still occupying. places where we must assume russian soldiers are committing more atrocities right now. nato secretary—general says that alliance is stepping up. nato secretary-general says that alliance is stepping up.— nato secretary-general says that alliance is stepping up. allies have been doin: alliance is stepping up. allies have been doing a _ alliance is stepping up. allies have been doing a lot _ alliance is stepping up. allies have been doing a lot and _ alliance is stepping up. allies have been doing a lot and are _ alliance is stepping up. allies have i been doing a lot and are determined to do more. now and for the media and longer term. to help the brave ukrainians defend their homes and their country and pushed invading
7:11 pm
forces. allies are also supporting and stepping up military aid and international support. we discussed what more we will do including cybersecurity assistance and providing equipment to help ukraine protects against chemical and biological offence. allies agreed that we should also help other partners to strengthen their resilience and shore up their ability to defend themselves. including georgia and bosnia. the allegations of war crimes have sent shock waves throughout the world. this is the reaction of former world chess champion and long—standing putin critic garry kasparov. speechless. every morning i wake up
7:12 pm
and i feel ashamed that i am a citizen of russia so i can only blame myself for offering vladimir putin any support. i have been critical of his role from day one but i am russian and we feel really bad. we were not surprised. it sounds horrible but vladimir putin has a long record of war criminal. it goes all the way back to the carpet bombing in 2000 and it's a long list including aggression against republic of georgia in 2008 and of course carpet bombing aleppo. i don't have time to count all his crimes including killing political opponents both inside and outside of russia. people in shanghai are warning that they are running out of food, after chinese authorities put the entire city into lockdown on monday, ordering 25 million people to stay at home.
7:13 pm
the city has been hit by a surge of covid cases, many residents have stayed at home for 11 days after a staggered lockdown was implemented last week, but cases continue to rise. on wednesday a round of mandatory mass testing was announced. then thursday saw another record number of nearly 20,000 positive cases, up from 16,000 the day before. china is pursuing a zero covid—19 policy. they are trying to eliminate the virus from the entire country. shanghai residents who test positive can't isolate in their homes even if their conditions are mild or asymptomatic. they have to go to mandatory quarantine facilities like this one, which critics say have become crowded and have sub—par conditions. the rest of shanghai's residents have to stay indoors, unable to order food or other supplies. this chinese food delivery app is constantly
7:14 pm
posting an error message. strict rules mean most people have to order—in food and water. they have to wait for government drop—offs of vegetables, meat and eggs. but the lockdown extension has overwhelmed delivery services, grocery shop websites and even the distribution of government supplies. one of the bbc�*s journalists in shanghai, edward lawrence, has been showing us how hard it is to order food first thing in the morning. waking up this early it's become a daily ritual trying to get onto the delivery apps for 6am for when the shops open to try and attempt to get a food order in here in shanghai. here's my order. i'm not seeing any milk or rice in stock which is quite frustrating. here we go. this is what we get
7:15 pm
when we try and order. and as i continue to try and order it the basket is actually being depleted in fact it's going right down already. clearly people are getting orders through. trying to get my order through but things are disappearing from the basket so my order that was about 30 or £40 is now coming up is just over £3 because that is all that's left in this supermarket now at what is now 6:02am. so many orders that's within a couple of minutes the stock has pretty much sold out.
7:16 pm
you can hear how difficult it is to get a basic order in. the lack of food has led to protests. these residents of apartment blocks in shanghai calling out for help. as delivery drivers across the city are overwhelmed by orders, locals in some areas of the city say they've been completely cut off. the deputy mayor says the city will reopen some wholesale markets to make food more available. because of covid—19 control, market run is no more and delivery capacity has dropped significantly. it makes the last kilometre or last hundred metres of delivery difficult. covid—19 affected the quality of peoples lives and daily supplies cannot reach their homes. they are making all efforts to improve it. one person who's regularly
7:17 pm
in contact with health workers in china dealing with the covid outbreak there is, professor xi chen from the yale school of public health. given the food shortages, was a lockdown in shanghai the right course of action? in shanghai the original plan was to face the lockdown, lucked out half of china and moved to the next half but due to the quick spreading of the virus it's getting out of control and both parts of shanghai was locked down due to the rapid spreading and there was some concerning data showing that their cities and provinces near shanghai also see a rapid increase of infections. that worries chinese authorities to make a final decision. a last—minute decision to
7:18 pm

7:19 pm
yesterday said the professor, apologies we lost him but he was describing zero covid—19 policy when it comes to the way china is dealing with it compared to other countries that are living with covid—19. we will hopefully get him back later. we will turn back to ukraine. we heard russia has been suspended from the un human rights council and we have been hearing about the different atrocities and allegations of atrocities taking place on the ground. we have heard what has been happening in bucha. we will now speak to my colleague and lviv. we have been talking yesterday about the atrocities again today at the forefront of what is happening on the ground. bring us up—to—date on what you have been hearing and talk us through the experiences that people have been sharing with you. fit, people have been sharing with you. lot of the stories that i am hearing
7:20 pm
are harrowing stories of things that people have seen and experienced. violent stories, stories of loss. when you get to somewhere like lviv men are supposed to stay and fight in ukraine so often people are leaving the front—line areas in the east and coming west here in lviv but the stories they tell you about trying to free and trying to hide children's eyes from the bodies vacancy on the floor of indiscriminate shelling a stay of places like schools where they were sheltering shelling by russian forces. these stories build up and they will eventually form a picture of exactly what is happening in this conflict. we know the fighting is moving towards the east and we've been saying that for some time. while we've heard today is a fresh impetus when we heard what was said at the meeting that may tell her earlier. the meeting of the foreign minister is and we heard the foreign
7:21 pm
minister is and we heard the foreign minister of ukraine saying it was about days not weeks that ukraine needed more weapons and beat up my military aid because they fear that the fighting is going to intensify faster than they thought. irate the fighting is going to intensify faster than they thought. we heard anthony blinking _ faster than they thought. we heard anthony blinking say _ faster than they thought. we heard anthony blinking say that _ faster than they thought. we heard anthony blinking say that for - faster than they thought. we heard anthony blinking say that for every| anthony blinking say that for every bucha we expect other places like this. it must be impossibly difficult for the people where you are in lviv to hear about what's happening across the country and make you say that fighting intensifying in the dump bass region. intensifying in the dump bass reuion. , �* , intensifying in the dump bass reuion. , v m intensifying in the dump bass reuion. , �*, '. ., region. yes. it's difficult for eo - le region. yes. it's difficult for people to — region. yes. it's difficult for people to hear _ region. yes. it's difficult for people to hear those - region. yes. it's difficult for| people to hear those stories region. yes. it's difficult for - people to hear those stories from their fellow countrymen and women. i think it's at that point. we talk about places like bucha places around the capital but there are still so many areas that you have not seen yet and there is still so many areas where the fighting continues. i have heard some terrible stories from places like
7:22 pm
harkey and people who escaped from mariupol and terrible stories and beat other areas he had not really seeing. we get a small snapshot of destruction and we get these stories that people who are leaving tyler rust but it's worth saying that we have so few pictures from the space when you talk to people some had their phones confiscated by russian soldiers and others were so scared to take and keep pictures that they did not have a record so it requires the space is to open back up again anyway for ukrainian ships to fully reclaim them and for people to be able to go in and see what devastation has been left behind in orderfor us to devastation has been left behind in order for us to really build devastation has been left behind in orderfor us to really build up devastation has been left behind in order for us to really build up a picture of what's happened so far during the six weeks of this war. it's important to remember people are deleting the evidence from their phones because they are scared of being captured by russian soldiers. thank you very much. some breaking
7:23 pm
news from the us. some breaking news from the us. the us senate is expected to hold a final confirmation vote on the nomination ofjudge ketanji brown jackson. judgejackson is presidentjoe biden's nominee she is the first ever black woman justice named to the supreme court and only the third black american to every state on the country's top court. let's have a look at the nine current members. you will see the supreme court has a solid conservative majority. six republican appointed justices three picked by democrats. judgejackson picked by democrats. judge jackson will picked by democrats. judgejackson will replace steven when he retires this summer. let us go to the bbc joining us from washington. history is being made? very much so. when it was made official thatjudge jackson very much so. when it was made official thatjudgejackson is a official thatjudge jackson is a testis official thatjudgejackson is a test is on the supreme court, the
7:24 pm
centex that up and there was a huge round of applause and some people have left and a lot of republicans who because senators are now in a two week break there was real moments of people looking so happy and that senate majority leader harry did a thumbs up and a real jubilant morning for the democratic party. she was concerned —— confirmed in a 53—47 votes. the republicans across party lines to back her but this is the fulfillment of president biden's campaign promise in 2020 that he would put an african—american woman on the bench and this is a lifetime appointment because after president biden had left office and even after all the politicians here have gonejustice jackson well be on that court making decisions about some of the most important issues in american life. gun control, abortion rights, civil rights and that's why these moments

7:27 pm
up above freezing, but elsewhere, a cold and widely frosty night. but that rain in the south comes courtesy of this area of low pressure, which has been named by the french weather service storm diego because it's going to bring some very wet and blustery weather across france. for us, well, just a glancing blow, although for the channel islands, a really soggy friday morning. some of that rain just grazing into the south coast of england. could be a bit of snow over the highest ground of dartmoor as that engages the cold air up over the hills, but for most of us during friday morning, it's a bright but cold start. that rain in the south will clear, and then we're looking at a sunshine and showers day. some of the showers will be heavy, possibly thundery with hail, sleet and hill snow mixing in, especially across the northern half of the country. not as windy as it has been today, so perhaps not feeling as chilly. still, though, temperatures below par — 7—12 degrees. that takes us into the weekend. saturday starting on a cold and frosty note. sunny spells and showers,
7:28 pm
but not too many showers. in fact, the further south and west you are, it looks predominantly dry — temperatures between 7—13 degrees. high pressure giving those predominantly dry conditions during saturday, a cold night on saturday night as well. but that high retreat eastwards, low pressure try to push in from the west for sunday. it's going to make slow progress, though, so for many on sunday, it is going to stay dry with some sunshine. more cloud in the west, just a few splashes of rain, but with southerly winds starting to develop, it will start to feel a bit milder.

7:30 pm
hello, i'm kasia madera with 0utside source. the un has voted to suspend russia from its human rights council after allegations of war crimes by russian troops in ukraine. the us is evidence of atrocities is growing. with each da , atrocities is growing. with each day. more _ atrocities is growing. with each day. more and _ atrocities is growing. with each day, more and more _ atrocities is growing. with each day, more and more credible . atrocities is growing. with each - day, more and more credible reports of rape, killings, torture are emerging. as fears amount of a new russian offensive, ukraine says the battle in the east will remind the world of world war ii. also coming up in the programme — plans for eight nuclear
7:31 pm
reactors under a new plan to reduce reliance on foreign oil and gas. and scientists may have found... and scientists may have found the remains of a dinosaur that died on the day of their extinction, when a huge asteroid hit earth. russian forces have withdrawn from around the capital in kyiv, but ukraine believes the russians will renew their attack if they can first take control of the donbas region in the east of the country. the bbc has witnessed hundreds of thousands fleeing that area, where separatists have been fighting ukraine for eight years. 0ur defence correspondent, jonathan beale, reports from donbas. 21st century combat on ukraine's eastern front can look
7:32 pm
and sound more like something from the first world war. but they've been fighting russian—backed separatists this way for the past eight years. western officials say this is where ukraine has some of its best trained and most battle hardened troops. they're certainly not all young. from his dugout, 52—year—old anatoly says he can already see russian troops just 500 metres away. translation: if they try to take this position, i'll kill them. - if i don't kill them, they'll kill me — those are the rules of war. they know their enemy can be brutal. they've had little rest from the fighting. they can already hear the russian artillery getting closer. but they say morale is high. translation: without trenchesl
7:33 pm
to defend from, we would all die. but these trenches will protect us. as you can see, they're well dug in here. very different from the fighting that you've seen in kyiv. in urban areas, both sides are well dug in. easier to defend, but, of course, the russians have significant firepower and we know they're bringing more, too. the mass exodus of civilians from eastern ukraine is already under way. this, a 50—mile tailback of traffic heading west. the donbas is emptying fast. we entered the town of lysychansk, already being targeted by russian artillery. can see some smoke in the distance rising. now a ghost town. this was a children's centre. books and clothes now strewn amongst the rubble. but down in the basement, we found a few seeking shelter — the poor, the frail and the old.
7:34 pm
even before this war started, russian—backed separatists were occupying part of the donbas. and it soon became apparent that pro—russian sentiment hasn't died here, despite their bombs. translation: i'm sorry, | but it is my understanding that this land was sold. they're destroying our donbas to give the land away to the americans. the americans bought it to place their nuclear weapons here. back above ground, we did find one woman, valentina, who did blame president putin for the destruction of her town. translation: putin is to blame for the war. l he gathered this army here. why did he do this, when our guys did nothing? they said they were exercising. exercises my ours! the russian offensive around
7:35 pm
the capital kyiv may have failed, but here in the donbas, they're slowly taking ground. waging war by artillery, their tactics still seem the same. and, once again, it's ukraine's civilian population that's likely to suffer most. jonathan beale, bbc news, in eastern ukraine. in other developments, a video has emerged which is believed to show ukrainian forces shooting and killing a captive russian soldier. this is a still from the video. it's simply too graphic to share with you in full. at bbc news, we've been analysing the footage. it appears to have been filmed outside the town of dmytrivka, to the west of kyiv. that area was recently recaptured by ukrainian forces. bbc reality check�*s daniele palumbo has been analysing it. we're not showing the video because it's too graphic to share with our
7:36 pm
audience, but can you tell us what it shows? , ., ., it shows? yes, good evening. the video shows _ it shows? yes, good evening. the video shows four _ it shows? yes, good evening. the video shows four people - it shows? yes, good evening. the video shows four people on - it shows? yes, good evening. the video shows four people on the i video shows four people on the ground, and one of those is on their back. three of them teams to not be moving, so it seems they are dead, two of them have had wounds —— head wounds. one of the four on the floor seems to be moving. whether a ukrainian soldier shoots him three times and he stops moving from that point. it is important to say that the video is really graphic and essentially is the scene of an ambush. this is west of kyiv to the
7:37 pm
cities of irpin, bucha and there is extensive fighting and looting there. the video has been used by pro—russian accounts during the last few days, so we have seen a lot of social media activities. it appears to be an attack on a russian. it wasn't going to approach irpin in the north. , , , ., ., the north. help us understand what we know about _ the north. help us understand what we know about the _ the north. help us understand what we know about the nationalities. i the north. help us understand what l we know about the nationalities. how do we know the dead soldier is russian, and ukrainian involvement? explained to us how you understand who is involved. irate explained to us how you understand who is involved.— explained to us how you understand who is involved. we have used open source intelligence. _ who is involved. we have used open source intelligence. we _ who is involved. we have used open source intelligence. we have - who is involved. we have used open| source intelligence. we have studied with our colleagues and the... there
7:38 pm
are many soldiers around the floor. they say sentences against the russian army. on top of that, the video features... painted on the side of. this is typical to mark. some of the russian soldiers have a white band in the right hand, additional identification for russian soldiers. on the ukrainian side, we hear all of them speaking russian. that is really common in ukraine. in the video, we are able to identify the faces of three ukrainian soldiers. one of them
7:39 pm
speaks with a strong caucasian accent, and we are in the process of identifying this person. all the soldiers standing in this area and around the russian soldiers on the floor seems to have ukrainian flag. of floor seems to have ukrainian flag. of course, the investigation is still in the process.— still in the process. daniele, thanks very _ still in the process. daniele, thanks very much _ still in the process. daniele, thanks very much for - still in the process. daniele, thanks very much for talking still in the process. daniele, i thanks very much for talking us through the process you used to identify the contents of that video. here in the uk, the government has unveiled its delayed energy strategy. it aims to reduce britain's reliance on imported fuel by boosting domestic power generation. so, let's take a closer look at the key points of the energy strategy. it says up to eight nuclear
7:40 pm
reactors could be approved by the end of the decade, with the aim of meeting a quarter of the uk's demand. there's also an "ambition" for offshore wind to produce enough energy to power every home by 2030. targets for hydrogen production are being doubled to help provide cleaner energy for industry. the government will consider reforming rules for installing solar panels on homes to help increase the current solar capacity by up to five times by 2035. a new licensing round for north sea projects is being launched in the summer on the basis that producing gas in the uk has a lower carbon footprint than doing so abroad. there will be a £30 million "heat pump investment accelerator competition" to make british heat pumps which reduce demand for gas. the government says the strategy will help the uk enjoy greater self—sufficiency

with cheaper bills. this is about tackling some of the mistakes of the past and making sure that we are set well for the future and we're no longer subject to... never again subject to the vagaries of the global oil and gas crisis. this all comes at a time of global energy crises, with prices in the uk soaring. the leader of the opposition labour party, sir keir starmer, believes the government's measures are not enough to help homeowners struggling with their energy bills. all we've got today is a cobbled—together list of things that could and should have been done over the last 10—12 years, and it doesn't even tackle really important things like insulating homes, which could save £400 on everybody's bill. so, it isn't enough — it's too little, it's too late. the green party have criticised the government's plan by saying there are no
7:42 pm
new policies on saving energy. they say insulating homes like these would immediately lower bills and emissions, and is the cheapest way to improve energy security. here's more from the co—leader of the greens. we have a big focus particularly on insulating people's homes. i that's the measure that can help i bring down people's fuel bills, i keep people warm, create jobsi and create real energy security. the liberal democrats also say the new strategy won't help families struggling with soaring fuel bills. the liberal democrats want to invest in renewables. we want to insulate people's homes and/ cut taxes. that will give real help to people who need it now. the government has announced that a new body called great british nuclear will be launching to bolster the uk's nuclear capacity. here's the bbc�*s environment analyst, roger harrabin, to explain more.

projections would take it up to 25% of uk _ projections would take it up to 25% of uk electricity supply, which is where it's— of uk electricity supply, which is where it's been in the past. it's been _ where it's been in the past. it's been dropping recently because it stations— been dropping recently because it stations get older and get decommissioned. it would provide an underpinning for electricity services, particularly forthe underpinning for electricity services, particularly for the women -- when _ services, particularly for the women -- when the — services, particularly for the women —— when the wind doesn't blow in the sun doesn't— —— when the wind doesn't blow in the sun doesn't shine. under the government's new plans, up to 95% of the uk's electricity could come from low—carbon sources by 2030. in particular, there's a promise of more energy from offshore wind as well as onshore wind farms that you can see here. nuclear plants like this one at hinkley point in somerset will also help the government meet its net—zero ambitions. here's roger harrabin again.
7:44 pm
if we have nuclear power, which doesn't — if we have nuclear power, which doesn't emit substantial carbon dioxide, — doesn't emit substantial carbon dioxide, that helps with net zero. the new— dioxide, that helps with net zero. the new target for offshore wind will help — the new target for offshore wind will help with net zero, and there's an interesting addition to that because — an interesting addition to that because the government now wants to suppori— because the government now wants to support floating offshore wind, which — support floating offshore wind, which could be put off the west coast _ which could be put off the west coast of — which could be put off the west coast of the uk where the sea is much _ coast of the uk where the sea is much deeper and still produce electricity from there. but environmental campaigners have criticised part of the government's strategy, as roger explains. the government is trying to resurrect _ the government is trying to resurrect or see where the tracking should _ resurrect or see where the tracking should be — resurrect or see where the tracking should be resurrected, and that gives— should be resurrected, and that gives off— should be resurrected, and that gives off greenhouse gases. sodas expiration — gives off greenhouse gases. sodas expiration of oils and gas —— so does _ expiration of oils and gas -- so does. , ., ,., ., expiration of oils and gas -- so does. , ., ., ., , does. explaining some of that energy strate: , does. explaining some of that energy strategy. so — does. explaining some of that energy strategy. so lots _ does. explaining some of that energy strategy, so lots to _ does. explaining some of that energy strategy, so lots to digest _ does. explaining some of that energy strategy, so lots to digest there. - does. explaining some of that energy strategy, so lots to digest there. a i strategy, so lots to digest there. a lot more explanation on our website
7:45 pm
as well. do check that out. that energy strategy that roger has been describing. for more on whether today's announcement helps with that, here's our climate editor, justin rowlatt. we're doing quite well. emissions are down 40% since 1990, the biggest reduction of any g20 country. mostly by getting coal out of the system. 80% of our power came from coal, now it's 2%. they barely existed in 1990. 26% of electricity generation. more than a quarter, so nuclear windows, so there will help decarbonise. if you look at the government advisers say we have to prepare for massive increase —— nuclear winds. prepare for massive increase —— nuclearwinds. electric prepare for massive increase —— nuclear winds. electric cars, we need more energy, some of what was announced will help, but we also need the energy efficiency component. that wasn't there, so a
7:46 pm
tick for decarbonisation. more we're getting breaking news coming from israel. it is breaking news that we are hearing here on bbc news. it's coming from israel. it's a shooting attack which has targeted at least five locations in the commercial district of tel aviv, and at least five people are reported to have been wounded. this is according to local media. we're hearing at least one person is in a critical condition, and that the gun people, the people causing this attack are still on the run. so, breaking news coming from israel. a shooting attack, five locations in the commercial district of tel aviv. a
7:47 pm
lot of concern giving the attacks the —— given the attacks that took place at the end of last month as well. when we get any more developments and news on that, we will bring that to you, but the attacker is still on the run. that's the latest coming in from israel. let's return to the uk. the chancellor, rishi sunak, is facing calls to answer serious questions over his family's financial affairs after it emerged his wife benefits from a tax—saving arrangement. akshata murty, who's thought to be worth hundreds of millions of pounds, has non—dom status, meaning she does not have to pay uk tax on income earned abroad. she earns money from shares in an indian software giant founded by her billionaire father. her spokeswoman said she pays all tax due in the uk, but labour called for "complete transparency". our political correspondent, damian grammaticas, has the details.
7:48 pm
he's been called "dishy rishi". the chancellor and his wife, akshata murthy, are both millionaires. when he became a minister, he declared the fact she's a non—dom to officials that now its public, so is the shine coming off? the chancellor's been very honest, very clear and she is, after all, a private citizen, she's not a politician and i think her affairs were completely transparent. and, as you say, there's no hint of any wrongdoing at all. under uk tax rules, when you're resident here, all your worldwide earnings are taxable in the uk but so—called are taxable in the uk, but so—called non—doms do not have to pay uk tax on foreign income. to claim the benefits of the status, a uk resident has to declare their permanent home is elsewhere. they must not have a settled long—term commitment to stay here and do still have to pay tax on all their uk earnings. she will have taken the position, she was domiciled in india,
7:49 pm
which may be a reasonable position, but then she made an active choice to claim the remittance basis, which means she's taxed only on money she brings into the uk, not on profits, income gains outside the uk, and that was a choice. it's a choice that could prove damaging for him. he's in charge of all our taxes, just put them up this week, and has been criticised for not doing enough for the poorest. his wife, who was born in india, has shares in this giant indian it firm which earn her millions. it was founded by her father, who's now a billionaire — one of india's richest men. we need complete transparency on this, so that we can all understand what scheme she may have been using to reduce her own tax. but to use a scheme, when the chancellor is out there day after day saying we need tax rises on millions of people in this country, who are really, really struggling, is breathtaking hypocrisy. we're told akshata murthy has always paid all the uk tax due on her income here and pay tax abroad.
7:50 pm
but for the couple, there may still be questions. for her, how strong are her ties to india? her spokesperson has said today she intends to return there one day. so, for him, does that mean he has no long—term commitment to remain in the uk? damian grammaticas, bbc news, downing street. now to an amazing discovery — scientists have found the remains of a dinosaur that's believed to tell us huge things about our planet's history. we know that dinosaurs were wiped out 66 million years ago. it's widely believed that happened because a huge asteroid crashed into the earth, causing mass extinction. the reign of the dinosaurs ended and the rise of mammals began. we've seen countless dinosaur fossils, but for scientists, there's been a piece of the puzzle missing.
7:51 pm
here's our science editor, rebecca morelle. the dinosaurs here were found all around the world, and they spanned their entire 180 million year reign on the planet. it's widely accepted that this domination came to an end when the asteroid struck, but there is a mystery. no one's ever found direct evidence of a dinosaur killed by the impact, or even a fossil dinosaur that died within 1000 years of it. and now, a new discovery may have changed that. scientists claim they've found the remains of a dinosaur that died the day the asteroid hit. they think they've found other creatures that died that same day, too. the fossils were found here, at a secret site in the us state of north dakota, called tanis. let me show you this map of what north america looked like 66 million years ago. it's thought the asteroid hit the gulf of mexico. that's some 3,000 km away
7:52 pm
from tanis, but the fact the impact was that widespread shows how huge the devastation was. tanis is now a chaotic jumble of fossils. the remains of animals and plants rolled together, frozen in time. this man is leading the fossil dig there. we've got so many details with this site that _ we've got so many details with this site that tell us what happened moment— site that tell us what happened moment by moment. it's almost like watching _ moment by moment. it's almost like watching it _ moment by moment. it's almost like watching it play out in the movies. you actually look at the right column — you actually look at the right column and the fossil there, and it brings— column and the fossil there, and it brings you — column and the fossil there, and it brings you back to that day. we're able to _ brings you back to that day. we're able to see — brings you back to that day. we're able to see what happened within that first — able to see what happened within that first hour or so after impact, and that's— that first hour or so after impact, and that's the front row seat to one of the most — and that's the front row seat to one of the most amazing events, and yuri are looking _ of the most amazing events, and yuri are looking at it.— are looking at it. certainly a row seat. -- are looking at it. certainly a row seat- -- here — are looking at it. certainly a row seat. -- here we _ are looking at it. certainly a row seat. -- here we are. _ and it's notjust dinosaurs remains — the fossil is an incredibly preserved leg of a dinosaur. you can see the leg still
7:53 pm
has its skin attached. it belonged to a plant—eating dinosaur called a thescelosaurus. they think it died in a flash flood caused by the asteroid impact. here's the moment they found it. there's something here. that's hard. that's_ there's something here. that's hard. that's bone _ there's something here. that's hard. that's bone right _ there's something here. that's hard. that's bone right next _ there's something here. that's hard. that's bone right next to— there's something here. that's hard. that's bone right next to the - there's something here. that's hard. that's bone right next to the skin. i this professorfrom london's natural history museum has studied the leg. this looks like an animal whose leg was ripped off really quickly. there's no evidence on the leg of disease, no obvious pathologies. the best idea that we have is this is an animal that died more or less instantaneously. this could be the first bit of dinosaur ever found that died as a direct result of being involved in the cataclysm that occurred after the meteorite hit in the gulf of mexico. and so, much has been found at tanis. the bbc has spent three years filming there for a documentary. it's called dinosaurs: the final day,
7:54 pm
and it's presented by sir david attenborough, who will review all the discoveries made. so, let's look at what else they've found. there were more dinosaur fossils, like this skin from a horned triceratops. and this is an egg from a pterosaur, with an embryo inside. and it's notjust dinosaurs. scientists found a fossil turtle and the remains of a small mammal like this that tried to hide. a piece of rock from the site is being studied at the uk's university of manchester. rebecca morelle went to hear more. this thin band of clay represents a moment when the dinosaurs became extinct to. , , ., , moment when the dinosaurs became extinctto. , , ., , . ., moment when the dinosaurs became extinctto. , , ., ,~ ., ., extinct to. this is really clear to see. extinct to. this is really clear to see- this _ extinct to. this is really clear to see- this is _ extinct to. this is really clear to see. this is a _ extinct to. this is really clear to see. this is a definite... - see. this is a definite... absolutely, and you have these coals
7:55 pm
we associated with this post impact world. you're holding a snapshot of time. you're holding the last mass extinct of extinction event to occur. , , ., ., and there's more evidence that these fossils date to that last day of the dinosaurs. when the asteroid is hit, molten rock was thrown into the sky. those remnants of molten rock then felt back down to earth as miniscule glass beads. and those remnants have been found in fossils in tanis, attached to the gills of fish. they say the fish would have breathed in the particles as they fell. and inside one of those beads, scientists believe there may even be a small part of the asteroid itself. we were able to pull apart the chemistry and identify the composition of that material. all the in the data from that study suggests that we're looking at a
7:56 pm
piece of the impactor an asteroid that ended it for the dinosaurs. staggering. thanks for watching. good evening. the winds gusted at more than 50 mph in places today, and those strong winds brought cold air and some big showers. impressive cumulonimbus cloud here for a weather watcher in suffolk. some of the showers today were wintry over high ground in the north because, on the back edge of this area of low pressure, this swirl of cloud on the satellite picture, we have been bringing some cold air down from the north. we find ourselves in that cold air as we go through the night, but the isobars tending to open out. that shows that the winds will be easing. so, lighter winds through the night, still one or two showers, especially across western parts. further snow showers in northern scotland, giving rise to the risk of ice, but more cloud and some rain into the far southwest. that will hold the temperatures here up above freezing, but elsewhere,
7:57 pm
a cold and widely frosty night. but that rain in the south comes courtesy of this area of low pressure, which has been named by the french weather service storm diego because it's going to bring some very wet and blustery weather across france. for us, well, just a glancing blow, although for the channel islands, a really soggy friday morning. some of that rain just grazing into the south coast of england. could be a bit of snow over the highest ground of dartmoor as that engages the cold air up over the hills, but for most of us during friday morning, it's a bright but cold start. that rain in the south will clear, and then we're looking at a sunshine and showers day. some of the showers will be heavy, possibly thundery with hail, sleet and hill snow mixing in, especially across the northern half of the country. not as windy as it has been today, so perhaps not feeling as chilly. still, though, temperatures below par — 7—12 degrees. that takes us into the weekend. saturday starting on a cold and frosty note. sunny spells and showers, but not too many showers. in fact, the further
7:58 pm
south and west you are, it looks predominantly dry — temperatures between 7—13 degrees. high pressure giving those predominantly dry conditions during saturday, a cold night on saturday night as well. but that high retreat eastwards, low pressure try to push in from the west for sunday. it's going to make slow progress, though, so for many on sunday, it is going to stay dry with some sunshine. more cloud in the west, just a few splashes of rain, but with southerly winds starting to develop, it will start to feel a bit milder.
7:59 pm
8:00 pm
hello, i'm kasia madera, this is outside source. the un has voted to suspend russia from its human rights council. this is after allegations of war crimes. the us as evidence of atrocities is growing.- crimes. the us as evidence of atrocities is growing. each day more and more credible _ atrocities is growing. each day more and more credible reports _ atrocities is growing. each day more and more credible reports of- atrocities is growing. each day more and more credible reports of rape, l and more credible reports of rape, killings, torture are emerging. as fears mount of a new russian offensive, ukraine says the battle in the east will remind the world of world war ii.
8:01 pm
also on the programme. 25 million people under lockdown in shanghai, as covid cases rise. people there say food supplies are running out. asi as i continued to try and order it, the basket is being depleted, in fact it has gone right down already. here in the uk, plans for 8 nuclear reactors under a new energy plan, to reduce reliance on foreign oil and gas. welcome, we are starting with breaking news that is coming to us from israel, we are hearing reports that at least six people have been critically wounded in a shooting in tel aviv and that the shooters are still on the run. the shooting occurred on a busy street in a busy area with filled with shops and bars
8:02 pm
it's a commercial area. the local media are reporting that the attack targeted at least five locations in the commercial district in tel aviv. that breaking news there that at least six people have been critically wounded in this commercial district of tel aviv. the attackers are still on the rhine and of course there will be a lot of concern given the recent attacks that took place in tel aviv towards the end of march, towards the end of last month. we are going to bring you much more on this story as we get more details, as we get the latest, we will hopefully cross our correspondent in israel as well to bring you up—to—date. that was just the latest line coming from israel, at least six people critically wounded in a shooting in tel aviv. the attackers are still on the run. the united nations general assembly has voted to suspend russia from the un's human rights council.
8:03 pm
it's over violations of human rights and atrocities in the ukrainian city of bucha. this is the moment the expulsion was approved. remember, russia is one of the five powerful, permanent members of the security council. none have ever been removed from any un body. let's hear from ukraine's ambassador. to suspend the states human counsel rights. it is a rare and extraordinary action. however, russia's actions are beyond repair. —— russia's actions are beyond the pale. let's take a look at how the vote unfolded. 93 nations in the un general assembly supported russia's suspension. 2a voted against it. china was among that number. it's been an ally to moscow and has avoided criticising the invasion. 58 abstained.
8:04 pm
here's our un correspondent nada tawfik. this is the third resolution passed under this emergency session on ukraine and the general assembly. the first two resolutions got m1 votes and then mo votes in favour of resolution censuring russia first for the invasion and secondly for the dire humanitarian situation. so here we have far fewer votes in favour this time around because really, it's notjust about the conflict itself, it is about suspending russia as a un member from the human rights council, and as you mentioned there, it has never been done before for a permanent member of the security council. while we have had libya removed from the council in 2011 after protesters were attacked by forces loyal to gaddafi, we haven't had it in this kind
8:05 pm
of scale for a permanent security council member. so we did have far more votes against the resolution as well compared to the past two, and we heard from china, ethiopia, latin american countries, like venezuela, cuba, iran, syria, others, you know, using this attack that this was a politcised resolution that we should wait until there is an investigation of the claims to take this kind of measure against russia. then we did see abstentions from india and the united arab emirate, so they again are abstaining on this resolution. so a very interesting divide here in the un indeed. it's a fascinating divide, isn't it? in terms of what the impact for the un, for the greater un, in terms of especially the security council, i'm wondering if you can help us to understand
8:06 pm
where the human rights council, how that fits in with the un itself in the greater scheme of things? yeah, well, the human rights council is based in geneva, and the whole idea is that the members who were elected by their counterparts, this 47—number body is supposed to shine a light on some of the worst violations of human rights around the world. a member can be suspended if they violate that, so we have russia now. they will not be able to vote, they will not be able to speak in the human rights council sessions any more. while the human rights council isn't a legally binding place in the same way that the security council, there resolutions are legally binding, they do set up investigations, as we saw on ukraine this last month that was set up. they do set up fact—finding missions, commissions of inquiry, we have seen that in the past in syria, countless different situations,
8:07 pm
and they can then use that evidence to try, in the future, to prosecute war crimes. and the human rights council does also shine a light on issues like disability, racism, so it is a council that does get a lot of attention in terms of shining a light on a lot of the abuses that the un would want the world to know about. she was talking us through that vote. she was talking us through that vote. let's get more on what was said at the un general assembly today. this was the russian deputy ambassador to the un speaking before the vote. translation: we reject the translation: we re'ect the untruthfurfi translation: we reject the untruthful allegations - translation: we reject the | untruthful allegations against translation: we reject the . untruthful allegations against us based on staged events and widely circulated fakes. mr president, based on everything i have said we would like to put this draught resolution to a vote and call on all those present here to really consider their decision and vote against the attempt by western
8:08 pm
countries and their allies to destroy the existing human rights architecture. the us secretary of state, antony blinken gave his reaction from brussels, shortly after that vote. asi as i was coming into this room, i learned _ as i was coming into this room, i learned that _ as i was coming into this room, i learned that you and member states have come _ learned that you and member states have come together once again to condemn— have come together once again to condemn russia's aggression and suspend — condemn russia's aggression and suspend aid from the human rights councit _ suspend aid from the human rights councit a _ suspend aid from the human rights council. a country that is perpetrating gross and systematic violations of human rights should not sit _ violations of human rights should not sit on — violations of human rights should not sit on a — violations of human rights should not sit on a body whose job it is to protect— not sit on a body whose job it is to protect those rights. in not sit on a body whose 'ob it is to protect those rights._ protect those rights. in the last few minutes — protect those rights. in the last few minutes the _ protect those rights. in the last few minutes the white - protect those rights. in the last few minutes the white house l protect those rights. in the last i few minutes the white house has announced that the white house will sign a bill that bans oil imports from russia to the united states. let's examine what russia has been accused of. this footage is from the ukrainian ministry of defence. it shows what remains
8:09 pm
of the town of borodyanka. we know that blocks of flats were bombed there, trapping civilians beneath the rubble. there've been reports that russian troops fired at those who attempted to dig them out. we still don't have a full picture of what took place. but ukraine's prosecutor general said... and in bucha, mass graves reportedly containing hundreds of bodies, were discovered. this satellite image is alleged to show one. authorities in bucha also say they found five bodies with their hands tied in what they called a... this was the message from the ukrainian foreign minister. the bucha massacre isjust the tip of the iceberg. we already see from reports
8:10 pm
from mariupol that it is much, much worse. ukrainian foreign minister was speaking at a meeting of nato foreign ministers, who gathered in brussels for a second day. they've been discussing what support to offer ukraine at this stage of the invasion. mr kuleba issued this warning. i came here with a simple message. my agenda for the discussion had only three items. it's weapons, weapons, and weapons. to win the war, first and foremost, you need weapons. a clear message from the ukraine —— a clear message from ukraine. the us secretary of state had a strong message for moscow. more and more credible reports of rape, killings, torture are emerging and for every bucha there are many more towns russia has occupied and more
8:11 pm
towns it still occupying. places where we must assume russian soldiers are committing more atrocities right now. antony blinken there. and nato's secretary—general says the alliance is stepping up. translation: allies have been doing a lot and are determined to do more. | now and for the medium and longer term. to help the brave ukrainians defend their homes and their country and push invading forces. allies are also supporting and stepping up military aid and financial support. we discussed what more we will do, including cyber security assistance and provide the equipment to help ukraine protect against chemical and biological events. allies agree that we should also help other partners to strengthen their resilience and shore up their ability to defend
8:12 pm
themselves, including georgia and bosnia—herzegovina. i'v e i've been speaking to our correspondent in lviv about what she's been hearing people escaping the conflict. its, lat what she's been hearing people escaping the conflict.— what she's been hearing people escaping the conflict. a lot of the stories i escaping the conflict. a lot of the stories i am _ escaping the conflict. a lot of the stories i am hearing _ escaping the conflict. a lot of the stories i am hearing are - escaping the conflict. a lot of the | stories i am hearing are harrowing stories i am hearing are harrowing stories of things that people have seen and experienced, violet stories, stories of loss. often when you get to somewhere like lviv, of course men are supposed to stay and fight, often people are leaving the front—line areas in the east incoming west to levine. the stories they tell you about trying to flee and hide, where they saw indiscriminate shelling. these stories build and build and they
8:13 pm
will eventually form a picture of exactly what has happen. we know the fighting is moving towards the east and we've been saying that for a while. what we have heard today was a fresh impetus we heard what happened at nato early, the meeting of the foreign ministers. and we heard the foreign minister of ukraine really saying it was about days, not weeks that ukraine needed more weapons and military support and military aid because they fear that the fighting is really going to intensify in the east perhaps faster than they thought. brute intensify in the east perhaps faster than they thought.— than they thought. we also heard antony blinken _ than they thought. we also heard antony blinken say _ than they thought. we also heard antony blinken say that _ than they thought. we also heard antony blinken say that for - than they thought. we also heard antony blinken say that for every| antony blinken say that for every bucha we expect places like place —— other places like this. it must be very difficult for where you are in lviv and the fight intensifying in the donbas region.—

8:15 pm
devastation has been left behind in orderfor us to build a picture of what has happened so far during the six weeks of this war. that what has happened so far during the six weeks of this war.— what has happened so far during the six weeks of this war. that was anna foster who — six weeks of this war. that was anna foster who has _ six weeks of this war. that was anna foster who has been _ six weeks of this war. that was anna foster who has been speaking - six weeks of this war. that was anna foster who has been speaking to - foster who has been speaking to people going from the east of ukraine to lviv, she spoke to me a little bit earlier. new pictures have emerged. this is a still from the video is too graphic to show. at bbc news we've been analysing the footage itself and it appears to have been filmed outside of the town to the west of kyiv. this area was recently recaptured by ukrainian forces and bbc reality check�*s daniel has been analysing the fortunes. it check's daniel has been analysing the fortunes-— check's daniel has been analysing the fortunes. it shows four people in military fatigues, _ the fortunes. it shows four people in military fatigues, they - the fortunes. it shows four people in military fatigues, they are - the fortunes. it shows four people in military fatigues, they are on i in military fatigues, they are on the ground and one of those people has their hands tied behind their
8:16 pm
backs. three of them seen not to be moving, it seems that they are dead. two of them who will have... their amenities ukrainian soldiers around. one of the bodies on the floor seems to be moving and wheezing. it appears that a ukrainian soldier shoots him several times and then the person stops moving. it is important to say that yes the video is really graphic and essentially it is really graphic and essentially it is a scene of an ambush. this is a road that links a highway to the west of kyiv. extensive fighting has been going on over the last few days. the video has been used by pro—russian social media accounts
8:17 pm
over the last few days, we have seen a lot of social media activity about this. , , ., , ., this. daniel, help us to understand what do we know _ this. daniel, help us to understand what do we know about _ this. daniel, help us to understand what do we know about the - what do we know about the nationalities. how do we know that the dead soldier is russian and also the dead soldier is russian and also the ukrainian involvement? how do you understand who is involved? brute you understand who is involved? we have you understand who is involved? - have used open source intelligence. we are studying from the landscape as well as our colleagues who are monitoring language. the main clues come from that there are many soldiers standing around. the russian prisoners on the floor. on
8:18 pm
top of that the video features armoured vehicles that has a sign drawn on it. some of the russian soldiers have a additional identification. on the ukrainian side, we hear all of them speaking in russian, that is really common. but in the video we also are able to identify three clear faces of ukraine and so shares. one speaks with a really strong caucasian accent and we are in the process of identifying this person. the soldier standing around this area and the
8:19 pm
russian soldiers on the floor the soldiers understanding have an ukrainian flag. the investigation is still ongoing, but what the image suggests that the soldiers are ukrainian. the us senate is hasjust confirmed the nomination ofjudge ketanji brown jackson to the supreme court. judgejackson is president joe biden's nominee for the supreme court. if confirmed, she'd be the first ever black woman justice named to the supreme court — and only the third black american to ever sit on the country's top court. these are the current nine members. as you can see the supreme court has a solid conservative majority with six republican—appointed justices, and three picked by democrats. judgejackson will be replacing justice stephen breyer when he retires this summer. nomia iqbal is at the us congress. very much so and when the aide was

made official that ketanji brown jackson is now a justice on the supreme court, the senate stood up and there was a huge round of applause, sump laws have left, i should add, namely a lot of republicans because they are now on it two week break the senators. there were real moments of people looking so happy. chuck schumer did a thumbs up, a realjubilant moment for the democratic party. she was confirmed in a 53—47 vote, so three republicans crossed the lines. this is the fulfillment of president biden's campaign promise that he would put an african—american woman on the bench. this is a lifetime appointment, rememberthat. after appointment, remember that. after president appointment, rememberthat. after president biden has left office and even after all the politicians here have gone, justice ketanji brown jackson will be on that court making decisions about some of the most
8:21 pm
important issues in america like uncontrolled, of abortion rights, civil rights. that is why these moments are important. history has been made here today. there was that photo that went viral of her daughter sitting behind her mother smiling. ketanji brownjackson daughter sitting behind her mother smiling. ketanji brown jackson was born after the passage of the major civil rights law and she talked about how her parents were born into ray strohl segregation. this is a historic appointment now and it is a huge moment for her personally, for herfamily as well. huge moment for her personally, for her family as well. quickly to add, she does not change the conservative majority on the bench, she is a liberaljustice, but the bench still has a conservative majority of 6—3. what it means is the liberal justices will not lose more ground and she replaces stephen just —— demon breyer. who she once worked for.
8:22 pm
going to go to the breaking news. we are hearing that two people have died of their wounds following a shooting in israel. at least eight people were wounded. this is in tel aviv, four of the wounded are in an operation theatre and are in a serious to critical condition. there are unconfirmed reports that the gunmen may still be at large. what we know is that the attack occurred in a busy area that is filled with shops and bars and restaurants in local media are reporting that the attack targeted at least five locations in this commercial district. these are some of the latest pictures that we have had from the scene, as we were describing it is a busy area. and is popular with locals and tourists. it is a commercial area. we are going to cross over to speak to a

8:24 pm
they are said to be storming one of the buildings, so perhaps the shooter is in one of those buildings. tel aviv is in a frenzy everywhere. thursday night, friday is the beginning of the israeli weekend. so this is a big night. all of the other restaurants and stores have people closed inside in order to help the police and authorities find the shooter. brute to help the police and authorities find the shooter.— to help the police and authorities find the shooter. we were looking at some of the — find the shooter. we were looking at some of the live _ find the shooter. we were looking at some of the live images _ find the shooter. we were looking at some of the live images from - find the shooter. we were looking at some of the live images from tel - some of the live images from tel aviv, it is busy like you were saying, people going out to enjoy the weekend, but when it comes to the weekend, but when it comes to the concern there... we have had other attacks towards the end of last month, towards the end of march. a heightened sense of security. we don't have long, talk us through that. this security. we don't have long, talk us through that.— us through that. this is actually art of a us through that. this is actually part of a terror— us through that. this is actually part of a terror wave, _ us through that. this is actually part of a terror wave, this - us through that. this is actually part of a terror wave, this is - us through that. this is actually | part of a terror wave, this is the

fourth attack in three weeks. there have been attacks all around. so four different locations, all different aspects of israeli society. there was the expectation that there would be problems as we neared the time of ramadan a mac but everyone was focused on jerusalem neared the time of ramadan a mac but everyone was focused onjerusalem —— no one was focused onjerusalem. today everyone spent the day talking about political crisis involving the right flank of the prime minister. his own party and when she was criticised for not being tough enough on terrorist, so he is now consulting with the ministry of defence. so there will probably be a

8:27 pm
that will hold the temperatures here up above freezing, but elsewhere, a cold and widely frosty night. but that rain in the south comes courtesy of this area of low pressure, which has been named by the french weather service storm diego because it's going to bring some very wet and blustery weather across france. for us, well, just a glancing blow, although for the channel islands, a really soggy friday morning. some of that rain just grazing into the south coast of england. could be a bit of snow over the highest ground of dartmoor as that engages the cold air up over the hills, but for most of us during friday morning, it's a bright but cold start. that rain in the south will clear, and then we're looking at a sunshine and showers day. some of the showers will be heavy, possibly thundery with hail, sleet and hill snow mixing in, especially across the northern half of the country. not as windy as it has been today, so perhaps not feeling as chilly. still, though, temperatures below par — 7—12 degrees. that takes us into the weekend. saturday starting on a cold and frosty note. sunny spells and showers, but not too many showers.
8:28 pm
in fact, the further south and west you are, it looks predominantly dry — temperatures between 7—13 degrees. high pressure giving those predominantly dry conditions during saturday, a cold night on saturday night as well. but that high retreat eastwards, low pressure tries to push in from the west for sunday. it's going to make slow progress, though, so for many on sunday, it is going to stay dry with some sunshine. more cloud in the west, just a few splashes of rain, but with southerly winds starting to develop, it will start to feel a bit milder.
8:29 pm
8:30 pm
hello, i'm kasia madera, this is outside source. the un has voted to suspend russia from its human rights council — after allegations of war crimes by russian troops in ukraine. the us says evidence of atrocities is growing. with each day, more and more credible reports of rape, killings, torture are emerging. as fears mount of a new russian offensive, ukraine says the battle in the east will remind the world of world war ii. also on the programme... 25 million people under lockdown in shanghai, as covid cases rise.
8:31 pm
people there say food supplies are running out. as i continued to try and order it, the basket is being depleted, in fact it has gone right down already. scientists may have found the remains of a dinosaur that died on the day of their extinction when a huge asteroid hit earth. let's bring you up—to—date with the breaking news that is coming from israel. we've heard that two people have died from their wounds following a shooting. at least eight people were wounded. four of the wounded are in the operation theatre and they are in a serious to critical condition. there are unconfirmed reports that a gunman, an attacker may still be on the
8:32 pm
loose, at large. the attack occurred on a busy streets, filled with shops and bars and restaurants and local media are reporting that the attack targeted at least five locations in this commercial district in the centre of tel aviv. these are images from the scene, and like i was saying, it is a busy area, it's saying, it is a busy area, its popular. filled with locals and tourists using the bars in the restaurants. this is indeed the latest of several attacks to hit israel recently. the deadliest in years which had already prompted the government to toughen security measures. two of the attacks were carried out by arab israelis that links to the islamic state group. earlier this month, two police officers both 19 years old were killed in an attack by two gunmen in the northern city. the assailants were shot dead by counterterrorism officers who happen to be at a
8:33 pm
restaurant nearby. the islamic state group says that it was behind that attack. in another incident, a man killed four people in a stabbing and a car branding attack outside a shopping centre in the southern city before he was shot dead by a passer—by. israeli authority said that he was an islamic state sympathiser. of course what is happening there now, we will bring you more on this developing story, but as i was saying, two people have died of their injuries. we will bring you much more when we get more details. let's return to the war in ukraine. russian forces may have withdrawn from around kyiv, but the ukrainian government believes that its troops will renew an attempt to take the capital at some point in the future. for now, moscow seems to be focusing its attention on eastern
8:34 pm
ukraine. the bbc has witnessed hundreds of thousands of civilians fleeing that area, where separatists have been fighting for 8 years. our defence correspondent, jonathan beale, reports now from lisycha nsk. 21st century combat on ukraine's eastern front can look and sound more like something from the first world war. but they have been fighting russian backed separatists this way for the past eight years. western officials say this is where ukraine has some of its best trained and most battle hardened troops. they're certainly not all young. from his dugout, 52—year—old anatoly says he can already see russian troops just 500 metres away. translation: if they try to take this position, i'll kill them. - if i don't kill them, they'll kill me — those are the rules of war. they know their enemy can be brutal.
8:35 pm
they've had little rest from the fighting. they can already hear the russian artillery getting closer. but they say morale is high. translation: without trenchesl to defend from, we would all die. but these trenches will protect us. as you can see, they're well dug in here. very different from the fighting that you've seen in kyiv. in urban areas, both sides are well dug in. easier to defend, but, of course, the russians have significant firepower and we know they're bringing more, too. the mass exodus of civilians from eastern ukraine is already under way. this, a 50—mile tailback of traffic heading west. the donbas is emptying fast. we entered the town of lysychansk, already being targeted by russian artillery. can see some smoke in the distance rising.
8:36 pm
now a ghost town. this was a children's centre. books and clothes now strewn amongst the rubble. but down in the basement, we found a few seeking shelter — the poor, the frail and the old. even before this war started, russian—backed separatists were occupying part of the donbas. and it soon became apparent that pro—russian sentiment hasn't died here, despite their bombs. translation: i'm sorry, | but it is my understanding that this land was sold. they're destroying our donbas to give the land away to the americans. the americans bought it to place their nuclear weapons here. back above ground, we did find one woman, valentina, who did blame president putin for the destruction of her town. translation: putin is to blame for the war. l he gathered this army here.
8:37 pm
why did he do this, when our guys did nothing? they said they were exercising. the russian offensive around the capital kyiv may have failed, but here in the donbas, they're slowly taking ground. waging war by artillery, their tactics still seem the same. and, once again, it's ukraine's civilian population that's likely to suffer most. jonathan beale, bbc news, in eastern ukraine. let's turn to shanghai now, a city of 25 million people under strict lockdown. coping cases are rising sharply, and on wednesday, a mandatory mass testing was announced. then on thursday, well, it's not another record number of nearly 20,000 positive cases up from 16,000 day before. china is
8:38 pm
resuming as they are a covid policy, meaning it's trying to eliminate the virus from the country entirely. residents who test positive cannot isolate in their homes, even if their conditions are mild or asymptomatic. i have to go to mandatory quarantine facilities, like this one, and some have described the conditions as crowded and subpar. the best of shanghai's residents have to stay indoors and are having difficulty getting basic things like food and supplies. this chinese food delivery app supplies. this chinese food delivery app is constantly posting this error message, and most people have to order in food and water. they also have to wait for government drop—offs for meat, eggs, but the lockdown extension has overwhelmed that particular service as well. one of the bbc�*s journalists in shanghai, edward lawrence, has been showing us how hard it is to order food first thing in the morning. waking up this early it's become a daily ritual trying to get onto the delivery apps for 6am for when the shops open to try
8:39 pm
and attempt to get a food order in here in shanghai. here's my order. i'm not seeing any milk or rice in stock which is quite frustrating. here we go. this is what we get when we try and order. and as i continue to try and order it the basket is actually being depleted in fact it's going right down already. clearly people are getting orders through. trying to get my order through but things are disappearing from the basket so my order that was about 30 or £40 is now
8:40 pm
coming up isjust over £3 because that is all that's left in this supermarket now at what is now 6:02am. so many orders that's within a couple of minutes the stock has pretty much sold out. struggling to put in an online order. the lack of food has led to protests. these residents of apartment blocks in shanghai calling out for help. as delivery drivers across the city are overwhelmed by orders, the deputy mayor says the city will reopen some wholesale markets to make food more available. because of covid—19 control, market run is no more and delivery capacity has dropped significantly. it makes the last kilometre or last hundred metres
8:41 pm
of delivery difficult. covid—19 affected the quality of peoples lives and daily supplies cannot reach their homes. they are making all efforts to improve it. indicate —— uk, they've unveiled their reduced energy strategy which is to reduce the reliance on important will by boosting domestic power generation. let's take a closer look at some of the key points of this energy strategy. it says that up to eight nuclear reactors could be approved by the end of the decade with the aim of meeting a quarter of uk demand. there's also an ambition offshore wind to produce enough energy to power every home by 2030. targets for hydrogen production are being doubled. that's to help clean air energy for industry. the government will consider rules for installing solar panels on homes to help
8:42 pm
increase the solar capacity by up to five times by 2035. and a new licensing round for a north sea project is being launched in the summer on the basis that producing gas in the uk has a lower carbon footprint than doing so abroad. also there will be a £30 million heat pump investment accelerator competition to make british heat pumps which reduce demand for gas. the government says the strategy will help the uk enjoy greater self—sufficiency with cheaper energy bills. self-sufficiency with cheaper energy bills. , , ., self-sufficiency with cheaper energy bills. , ,., , bills. this is about tackling this from the past _ bills. this is about tackling this from the past and _ bills. this is about tackling this from the past and sat - bills. this is about tackling this from the past and sat well- bills. this is about tackling this | from the past and sat well from bills. this is about tackling this - from the past and sat well from the future, we are no longer subject, we are never again subject to the vagaries of the global oil gas price. shill vagaries of the global oil gas rice. �* ., , , vagaries of the global oil gas rice. �* ., ., price. all of this comes as a time of rlobal price. all of this comes as a time of global energy _ price. all of this comes as a time of global energy crisis _ price. all of this comes as a time of global energy crisis with - price. all of this comes as a time i of global energy crisis with prices across the uk soaring, and the leader of the opposition party
8:43 pm
says believes the government's measures are not enough to help homeowners struggling with their energy bills. we have got today is a cobbled together a list of things that could and should have been done over the last ten to 12 years. it doesn't even tackle really important things like insulating homes, which could save £400 on everybody's bill. it isn't enough, it's too little, it's too late. , , ., too late. the green party also criticising _ too late. the green party also criticising the _ too late. the green party also criticising the government's i too late. the green party also i criticising the government's plan too late. the green party also - criticising the government's plan by saying there is no new policies on saving energy. they say that insulating homes like these would immediately lower bills and emissions, and is the cheapest way to improve energy security. here's more from the co—leader of the greens. we have a big focus particularly on insulating people's homes. i that's the measure that can help bring down people's fuel bills, i keep people warm, create jobsi and create real energy security. the liberal democrats also say the new strategy won't help families
8:44 pm
struggling with soaring fuel bills. the liberal democrats want to invest in renewables, insulate peoples homes and slashed taxes. that will be real action to give real help to people who need help right now. the government has announced that a new body called great british nuclear will be launching to bolster the uk's nuclear capacity. here's the bbc�*s environment analyst, roger harrabin, to explain more. projections would take it up to 25% of uk electricity supply, which is where it's been in the past. it's been dropping recently because it stations get older and get decommissioned. it would provide an underpinning for electricity services, particularly for the women —— when the wind doesn't blow in the — sun doesn't shine.
8:45 pm
under the government's new plans, up to 95% of uk's electricity could come from low carbon sources by 2030, in particular, there is a promise of more energy from offshore wind as well as onshore wind farms. you can see just there. nuclear plants like the one in somerset will also help the government beat its net zero ambitions. more from roger. if we have nuclear power, then that helps with net zero. the new target for offshore wind will help with net zero and there is an interesting addition to that because the government now wants to also support floating offshore wind which could be put off the west coast of the uk where the sea is much deeper and still produce electricity from there.
8:46 pm
the government is trying to resurrect or see where the tracking should be resurrected, and that gives off greenhouse gases. so doed expiration of oils and gas. roger there. in the run—up to ash —— in the run—up to the cop26 un climate conference last year, we heard a lot of promises from the uk government about britain's net—zero carbon ambitions. for more on whether today's announcement helps with that, here's our climate editor, justin rowlatt. we're doing quite well. emissions are down 40% since 1990, the biggest reduction of any g20 country. mostly by getting coal out of the system. 80% of our power came from coal, now it's 2%. they barely existed in 1990. 26% of electricity generation.
8:47 pm
more than a quarter, so nuclear windows, so there will help decarbonise. if you look at the government advisers say we have to prepare for massive increase electric cars, we need more energy, some of what was announced will help, but we also need the energy efficiency component. that wasn't there, so a tick for decarbonisation. more energy. we will focus on the uk once again, because the uk chancellor is facing calls to answer serious questions over his family's financial affairs. questions over his family's financial affairs after it emerged his wife benefits from a tax—saving arrangement. akshata murty, who's thought to be worth hundreds of millions of pounds,
8:48 pm
has non—dom status, meaning she does not have to pay uk tax on income earned abroad. she earns money from shares in an indian software giant founded by her billionaire father. her spokeswoman said she pays all tax due in the uk, but labour called for "complete transparency". our political correspondent, damian grammaticas, has the details. he's been called "dishy rishi". the chancellor and his wife, akshata murthy, are both millionaires. when he became a minister, he declared the fact she's a non—dom to officials that now its public, so is the shine coming off? the chancellor's been very honest, very clear and she is, after all, a private citizen, she's not a politician and i think her affairs were completely transparent. and, as you say, there's no hint of any wrongdoing at all. under uk tax rules, when you're resident here, all your worldwide earnings
8:49 pm
are taxable in the uk but so—called non—doms do not have to pay uk tax on foreign income. to claim the benefits of the status, a uk resident has to declare their permanent home is elsewhere. they must not have a settled long—term commitment to stay here and do still have to pay tax on all their uk earnings. she will have taken the position, she was domiciled in india, which may be a reasonable position, but then she made an active choice to claim the remittance basis, which means she's taxed only on money she brings into the uk, not on profits, income gains outside the uk, and that was a choice. it's a choice that could prove damaging for him. he's in charge of all our taxes, just put them up this week, and has been criticised for not doing enough for the poorest. his wife, who was born in india, has shares in this giant indian it firm which earn her millions. it was founded by her father, who's now a billionaire — one of india's richest men. we need complete transparency on this, so that we can all understand what scheme she may have been using to reduce her own tax.
8:50 pm
but to use a scheme, when the chancellor is out there day after day saying we need tax rises on millions of people in this country, who are really, really struggling, is breathtaking hypocrisy. we're told akshata murthy has always paid all the uk tax due on her income here and pay tax abroad. but for the couple, there may still be questions. for her, how strong are her ties to india? her spokesperson has said today she intends to return there one day. so for him, does that mean he has no long—term commitment to remain in the uk? damian grammaticas, bbc news, downing street. now to an amazing discovery — scientists have found the remains of a dinosaur that's believed to tell us huge things about our planet's history. we know that dinosaurs were wiped
8:51 pm
out 66 million years ago. it's widely believed that happened because a huge asteroid crashed into the earth, causing mass extinction. the reign of the dinosaurs ended and the rise of mammals began. we've seen countless dinosaur fossils, but for scientists, there's been a piece of the puzzle missing. here's our science editor, rebecca morelle. the dinosaurs here were found all around the world, and they spanned their entire 180 million year reign on the planet. it's widely accepted that this domination came to an end when the asteroid struck, but there is a mystery. no one's ever found direct evidence of a dinosaur killed by the impact, or even a fossil dinosaur that died within1000 years of it. and now, a new discovery may have changed that. scientists claim they've found the remains of a dinosaur that died the day the asteroid hit. they think they've found other creatures that died that same day, too. the fossils were found here,
8:52 pm
at a secret site in the us state of north dakota, called tanis. let me show you this map of what north america looked like 66 million years ago. it's thought the asteroid hit the gulf of mexico. that's some 3,000 km away from tanis, but the fact the impact was that widespread shows how huge the devastation was. tanis is now a chaotic jumble of fossils. the remains of animals and plants rolled together, frozen in time. this man is leading the fossil dig there. we've got so many details with this site that tell us what happened moment by moment. it's almost like watching it play out in the movies. you actually look at the right column and the fossil there, and it brings you back to that day. we're able to see what happened within that first hour or so after impact, and that's the front row seat to one of the most amazing events,
8:53 pm
and yuri are looking at it. —— here we are. and it's notjust dinosaurs remains — the fossil is an incredibly preserved leg of a dinosaur. you can see the leg still has its skin attached. it belonged to a plant—eating dinosaur called a thescelosaurus. they think it died in a flash flood caused by the asteroid impact. here's the moment they found it. there's something here. that's hard. that's bone right next to the skin. this professorfrom london's natural history museum has studied the leg. this looks like an animal whose leg was ripped off really quickly. there's no evidence on the leg of disease, no obvious pathologies. the best idea that we have is this is an animal that died more or less instantaneously. this could be the first bit of dinosaur ever found that died as a direct result of being involved in the cataclysm that occurred after the meteorite hit in the gulf of mexico. and so, much has been found at tanis.
8:54 pm
the bbc has spent three years filming there for a documentary. it's called dinosaurs: the final day, and it's presented by sir david attenborough, who will review all the discoveries made. so, let's look at what else they've found. there were more dinosaur fossils, like this skin from a horned triceratops. and this is an egg from a pterosaur, with an embryo inside. and it's notjust dinosaurs. scientists found a fossil turtle and the remains of a small mammal like this that tried to hide. a piece of rock from the site is being studied at the uk's university of manchester. rebecca morelle went to hear more. this thin band of clay represents a moment when the dinosaurs became extinct to. this is really clear to see. this is a definite... absolutely, and you have these coals we associated with this post impact world.
8:55 pm
you're holding a snapshot of time. you're holding the last mass extinct of extinction event to occur. and there's more evidence that these fossils date to that last day of the dinosaurs. when the asteroid is hit, molten rock was thrown into the sky. those remnants of molten rock then felt back down to earth as miniscule glass beads. and those remnants have been found in fossils in tanis, attached to the gills of fish. they say the fish would have breathed in the particles as they fell. and inside one of those beads, scientists believe there may even be a small part of the asteroid itself. we were able to pull apart the chemistry and identify the composition of that material. all the in the data from that study suggests that we're looking at a piece of the impactor an asteroid that ended it for the dinosaurs.
8:56 pm
i cannot wait for that documentary. from me and the team, thank you very much for watching. bye—bye. good evening. the winds gusted at more than 50 mph in places today, and those strong winds brought cold air and some big showers. impressive cumulonimbus cloud here for a weather watcher in suffolk. some of the showers today were wintry over high ground in the north because, on the back edge of this area of low pressure, this swirl of cloud on the satellite picture, we have been bringing some cold air down from the north. we find ourselves in that cold air as we go through the night, but the isobars tending to open out. that shows that the winds will be easing. so, lighter winds through the night, still one or two showers, especially across western parts. further snow showers in northern scotland, giving rise to the risk of ice, but more cloud and some rain into the far southwest. that will hold the temperatures here up above freezing,

9:00 pm
hello, i'm nuala mcgovern. you're watching the context on bbc news. the world reacts to allegations of russian atrocities against civilians in ukraine, by suspending russia from the un human rights council. by suspending russia there's growing evidence to back the claims of atrocities in the town of bucha, according to america's top diplomat. with each day, more and more credible reports of rape, killings, and torture are emerging. as russia shifts its focus to the east of ukraine, we report from the disputed region of the donbas. on this vote, the games are 53, the nazar 47 and this confirmation is
9:01 pm
passed.
