hello, i'm maryam moshiri, this is outside source. the fight intensifies for control of the beseiged city of mariupol. russia says ukrainian troops are surrendering. ukraine says it's still in control. a new report says there's evidence russia has carried out warcrimes in ukraine. as president biden accuses russia of genocide, we'll look at what that means and how the world is responding. we report from bucha, where local officials are collecting evidence. the challenge for prosecutors will be to establish a line of command, from the grave to the top of the russian state, to show that crimes were notjust committed but ordered. also on the programme —

more than 250 people have been killed in floods in the south african province of kwazulu—natal. some areas saw a month's worth of rainfall in one day. and of rainfall in one day. here in the uk, a sitting minister and here in the uk, a sitting minister quits after borisjohnson is found guilty of having broken the law. welcome to the programme. we begin in the city of mariupol. the russian military has been trying to take it for weeks. now, it says over 1000 ukrainian marines have surrendered there. ukraine denies this and maintains it still holds the city. we can't independently verify either claim, but this was the russian defence ministry's announcement earlier. translation: 1026 ukrainian military from marines 36th brigade have - voluntarily laid their arms down and surrendered. there were 151 wounded among those from the 36th brigade who received

immediate medical assistance and then were taken to mariupol hospital for further treatment. but an adviser to the mayor of mariupol has dismissed this. no, no, it's impossible. because i know how many they're controlling now. they don't control our capital. they don't control azovstal. they don't control the half of the livoberenzhyi district and half of tsentralnyi district. and the biggest part in prymorskyi district are controlling by ukrainian troops. we know is that mariupol is a key target for the russian military. if captured, it would create a land corridor between moscow's two fronts in the south and east. and we know that the situation in mariupol is critical. thousands of civilians are trapped there. it's been besieged for weeks,

7:04 pm
there've been two incidents in particular that have drawn international outcry. russia denies involvement in both of them without providing evidence. on march the 9th, this maternity and children's hospital in mariupol was bombed. and a week later, the city's main drama theatre was destroyed. hundreds of people were sheltering in the basement. the word "children" was spelled out in front of it, visible from space. this was the message from the city's mayor. translation: everything that's happening in mariupoltoday, i bearing in mind that 90% of infrastructure has been destroyed by russia and they've killed many, many civilians. we believe that these is genocide, these are war crimes. mariupol is in the donbas region, which is central to this conflict. it's in the east of the country, and there's been conflict there between russian separatists and ukrainian forces since 2014. in recent days, russia's military has been saying that its goal is to �*liberate' the region. this is the assessment from one former ceasefire monitor in eastern ukraine.

7:06 pm
19 people died in our clinics, so totally we have 57 civiliani ukrainians which were trying l to leave from our city to west ukraine who were killed and died. | it was difficult to understand how| such, such terrible attack could be possible to civil people. it's events like this that have prompted accusations of genocide, most recently from the us president, joe biden. i called it genocide because it's become clearer and clearer that putin is trying to wipe out the idea of even being able to be ukrainian. and the evidence is mounting, different than it was last week,
7:07 pm
more evidence is coming out of literally the horrible things that the russians have done in ukraine and we're only going to learn more and more about the devastation. and we'll let the lawyers decide internationally whether or not it qualifies, but it sure seems that way to me. experts have urged caution about using the word "genocide" to describe events in ukraine until proper investigations have been carried out. that's because it's got a strict legal definition. this is the assessment from president zelensky. freedom must be armed better than tyranny. western countries have everything to make it happen. the final victory over the tyranny and the number of people saved depends on them. arm ukraine now to defend freedom. for its part, the kremlin has called mr biden�*s comments "unacceptable". this all comes as the world's biggest security body says there are clear patterns of russian troops violating international humanitarian law, including extrajudicial killings and torture.

7:12 pm
give us the details on that arrest and that potential arrest in the next few minutes we will go there as and when we get it here on outside source. a british minister has resigned from government due to fines issued to the prime minister and chancellor for breaking lockdown rules. in a letter to borisjohnson, justice minister lord david wolfson pointed to "repeated rule—breaking, and breaches of the criminal law in downing street". he goes on... this is the first ministerial resignation since the story of partygate emerged. cabinet ministers have been backing the prime minister since he was fined by police on tuesday. here's the transport secretary. everyone is human. people make mistakes. in this case, it's led to a fixed penalty fine of £50. he's paid the fine. it's an event of two years ago. i feel the same anger
7:13 pm
as everybody else that these events could take place, not least because i couldn't see my own dad, who i didn't know whether we'd see again ever. so, i completely get it. i also know that it wasn't done out of malice or with intent. it was a mistake, an error. more than 70 conservative mps have expressed their support for borisjohnson since he was fined. that includes some who have previously called for him to go. only one has publicly said the prime minister should resign, nigel mills. when this story first broke injanuary, i said that anybody who was guilty of attending or organising a party during the strictest lockdown, the worst of the pandemic couldn't possibly be in a position of authority. i think now the fines have been issued and the investigation's been done, they've accepted the fines and paid them, they should both go. i mean, i can't see how you can be the senior lawmakers in the country, on tv exhorting the rest of us to obey these laws and then be

7:17 pm
lots of people are still missing. this is one of many teams still searching for survivors. our reporter shingai nyoka was with with them. floods are fairly common here, but rescuers say that these are some of the worst that they've ever witnessed. they've already retrieved the bodies of three people from a single family, and there's a desperate search for a fourth, a ten—year—old child. let me show you the latest pictures. this is what durban now looks like from above. you can see huge areas of the city now underwater. there have been mudslides, too, destroying buildings. and collapsing roads and motorways, too. the main one in and out of durban is blocked. hundreds if not thousands of people have had their homes damaged or swept away. let's hear from one of them. the storm was coming from that side. it destroyed my house. i've got nowhere to go now.
7:18 pm
i've got no house, i've got no nothing. the situation is very, very bad. i don't know where i'm going to go to sleep now. the rescue effort is still ongoing. mudslides have trapped people under buildings. there are reports that some are standing on rooftops, waiting to be rescued. and we've heard that rescue effort is being hampered by poor visibility. and the mayor of durban says entire communities have been cut off. all our electricity stations, i major ones, are also flooded. our water treatment plants that we are using to - save these communities. for authorities, there's a huge clean—up operation ahead. and there are more issues, like trade. durban is one of the largest port cities on the continent. shipping containers from the dockyards were washed away. you can see them piled up here. the city has stopped shipping for now. today, south africa's president, cyril ramaphosa, visited a township in durban. you can see him here talking to families who have lost relatives, and he had this to say to them.
7:19 pm
translation: what is very difficult is that we have lost the lives - of many people and their houses have been washed out. the roads have also been washed out, as well as the bridges, and now this church here has also been affected and washed out. houses have been damaged and that has created problems, so we thought we should come here so that we could see for ourselves. some areas saw a month's worth of rainfall in one day. some scientists have been clear on what they think is causing heavier than usual rainfall in southern africa. because we saw similar scenes january when storm ana hit three southern african countries, killing at least 70 people. mary galvin from the university ofjohannesburg says...
7:20 pm
and those living in durban, agree the rain is unlike anything they've seen before. we were staying awake because of the rising river. and then down about two o'clock, there was about 50 policemen that came up here and then the tow trucks came in. and about three o'clock, they managed to drag the car out and with one body in there. and that was very traumatic because the first time we've seen the river rise so high. let's go live to durban now and talk to shingai nyoka. bring us up—to—date. bring us up-to-date. what we understand — bring us up-to-date. what we understand is _ bring us up-to-date. what we understand is that _ bring us up-to-date. what we understand is that the - bring us up-to-date. what we l understand is that the death toll has been rising for the bit rose dramatically overnight and now stands at 259 according to the local government here. they expect that
7:21 pm
number to rise and they say the search and rescue continues and the answer and rescue is still overwhelmed and who are still missing, dozens who still need to be located and so that number is definitely not static was that we have spoken to some people in those communities whose homes were washed away, literally lost everything overnight and managed to get away with just the clothes on their backs and with identity documents. they are housed at shelters, and community halls but they are also asking what is next and they don't want to return to some of those areas because they say it's too dangerous. he spoke about the fact that president ramaphosa has blamed climate change but some critics here say that is more than that, that is a result of poor drainage and also poor safety building regulations. some people in durban and the surrounding area saying that they have not seen flooding like this in

7:25 pm
hours or more than 2a hours after the attack, which triggered a huge manhunt in the city. police had named 62—year—old frankjames as a suspect in the incident. us media and reported that he was spotted by two police officers on a manhattan street and taken into custody and officials are due to update on the so just to reiterate, officials are due to update on the sojust to reiterate, authorities have arrested the gunman who allegedly said all smoke bombs and shot ten passengers in a packed new york subway car. reports suggesting that law enforcement officials arrested frankjames with a massive manhunt who have been identified as a suspect in tuesday morning puffing attack and we will of course bring you more from that press conference as and when we get it here on outside source. you can get in touch with me and the team on twitter. i'm @bbcmaryam.
7:26 pm
play more, to come in a few minutes times of stay with us on outside source. hello. i think it's fair to say that today was a mixed bag. yes, we had plenty of sunny spells, but also one or two very heavy downpours, particularly across parts of the midlands and also in lincolnshire in the last few hours. the headline in the next few days suggests warmer weather. in fact, by the time we get to friday, good friday, temperatures could get up to 22 celsius in east anglia, the south east and london. so, here's the satellite picture. still a fair bit of cloud across the uk, and then this mass of cloud to the west of our neighbourhood is approaching us and will eventually reach us over the next day or so. now, through this evening and overnight, it is largely clear across the bulk of the uk, particularly eastern and central areas, but out towards the west, the south—southwesterly breeze is pushing in low grey cloud, mist and murk around coasts.
7:27 pm
it will be a mild night. nine degrees in plymouth, eight in cardiff, maybe no colder than around five in glasgow. perhaps a touch of frost in the sheltered glens, but that's pretty much it. here's the weather map for thursday, and that mass of cloud that i mentioned out towards the west is encroaching to put rain in ireland. that does mean thicker cloud and also outbreaks of rain eventually reaching northern ireland and western parts of scotland, but elsewhere, it should be a relatively bright day after a very slow grey start. the best of the sunshine — central, eastern, southern areas, and here temperatures will probably nudge up to around 19 or so, whereas out towards the north west, with more cloud and the outbreaks of rain, closer to around 13—15 degrees. and that weather front kind of almost stalls just to the west of us. it does mean further cloud and the possibility of catching some rain, so always the drier weather will be further east and south, and here, sunny spells with the temperatures getting up
7:28 pm
to around 20 in london, but also a little bit warmer there in glasgow and edinburgh, up to around 16 on good friday. now, how about the weekend and into monday itself? well, the weather slowly will turn more unsettled, but not until sunday night and into monday when this low pressure arrives, so i think as far as saturday and sunday are concerned, the easter weekend, overall, the weather is looking mainly dry. will be nice and warm in any sunny spells with some overnight mist and fog and then more unsettled with some rain come monday. bye— bye.

hello, i'm maryam moshiri with outside source. the fight intensifies for the control of variable. russia says ukrainian troops are surrendering and ukraine says it's still in control. president biden calls itjennifer sighed. we report from bucha. —— genocide. the challenge will be to establish a line of command to the grave to the top of the russian state. to show that crimes are notjust committed, but ordered. also on the programme, floods killed more than 250 people in the south
7:31 pm
african province of kwazulu natal. here in the uk, a government minister quits after borisjohnson becomes the first sitting prime minister found to have becomes the first sitting prime ministerfound to have broken becomes the first sitting prime minister found to have broken the law. president biden says the evidence just that russia is committing genocide and ukraine. over the past two weeks, russian forces have been withdrawing from the north around the capital and their retreat from the capital and their retreat from the areas shown here has allowed a clearer picture to emerge. with the terrible damage and disruption left in their wake. mark lowen has visited the towns of bucha. ten more. the numbers, the mass graves,
7:32 pm
the contempt for life. some so badly charred, they're just the pieces for ukraine to pick up. the man and the inhuman. what happened here in bucha and elsewhere are notjust sins, says ukraine, but war crimes. french investigators and other international teams are helping prepare a lawsuit against russia. ukraine's prosecutor general says they've already opened more than 6,000 cases. a lot of people speak about genocide of ukrainian people, and actually they have all grounds to speak about genocide. and actually, they have all grounds to speak about genocide. vladimir putin himself, he is president of aggressor. do you believe you will ever see him judged in an international war crimes court? it is very important, actually. it's very important to hold court to stop dictators. the challenge for prosecutors will be to establish a line
7:33 pm
of command from the grave to the top of the russian state, to show that crimes are notjust committed but ordered. committed, but ordered. perhaps that will help give ukrainians a sense of accountability, and that from such suffering can comejustice. the long road to that goal, past a landscape of horror, is led notjust for the state, but by volunteer investigators, a grassroots army fighting for the truth. they come to borodyanka, gutted from the air in a relentless assault tearing out its heart. amidst the ruins, banned cluster bombs. the destroyed ground is fertile for the team building their case. we're trying to tell the world the truth, and we're trying not to let russia formulate their lying narratives about the war in ukraine.
7:34 pm
we are trying to show to people that those war crimes which russian troops are committing became, like, a pattern of their behaviour. among the shattered sea of victims are 0ksana and her husband nikola. they escaped. their apartment didn't. with the need to tell this story comes the duty to collect it. translation: our home was our cosy nest. - we were planning our. children's birthday here. my mother got outjust before the strike. - it's hard to describe our terror. it's more like hate. it's very important to say - what happened because these are notjust war crimes. russia will not stop until it destroys our country. - freedom and safety, what ukrainians held dear, has been destroyed. their solace now would be punishment for those who have
7:35 pm

was a dark day for all of us, but the bright spots of the incredible heroism of our fellow new yorkers, helping each other in a time of crisis, the quick response by first responders and the hard work by all of our law enforcement partners that has been ongoing is truly a bright spot here. today, frankjames has been charged by complaint in brooklyn federal court with one count of violating 18 usc ss 1992, a7 and b1, which prohibits the terrorists and other violent attacks against mass transportation systems. he has been apprehended and will be arraigned in federal court in brooklyn, and if convicted, he will face a sentence of up to life imprisonment. my office is repaired to prove that on april 12, 2022, in

7:49 pm
repeatedly so that they are not able to produce ukrainian babies, as it has been reported. that can be a weapon for genocide, so we have international criminal instances where rape has been used as a means of committing genocide. that may constitute a measure intended to prevent birth in that group. taste constitute a measure intended to prevent birth in that group. we see destruction — prevent birth in that group. we see destruction caused _ prevent birth in that group. we see destruction caused by _ prevent birth in that group. we see destruction caused by russian - destruction caused by russian bombing. the evidence some would suggest is very clear that this destruction has occurred. how difficult do you think it will be forjustice ministers to gather this kind of evidence? the

7:52 pm
i don't think that we can push him out at the moment. i think there's too much going on in the world to even think about that, but i think there has to come a reckoning. i think it's absolutely unacceptable, - especially when you're hearing i heart—rending stories of people who have lost loved ones, - that haven't been able to spend the last moments with them, all these people that - have died on their own. that experience of loss was a reality for deborah doyle. her mother, sylvia griffiths, died in a care home in april 2020. there were only eight people allowed at my mum's funeral. you weren't allowed a week afterwards, you had to keep your distance, you couldn't hug your family. and we did the right thing, we followed the rules to keep ourfamily members and our community safe, and then they were having a knees—up in downing street. it's basically a smack in the mouth for anyone that's lost a loved one. upset and anger among the reactions today, but acceptance, too, that change isn't likely to happen quickly and, with the sue gray report outstanding, this is one party hangover which won't be easily cured. megan patterson, bbc
7:53 pm
look north, sunderland. from the north east of england to the north west, let's speak to annabel tiffin, political editor for bbc north west. let me ask you, what feeling are you getting from those in the northwest about their views of what's happened? i about their views of what's happened?— about their views of what's happened? about their views of what's hauened? , , �*, ., about their views of what's hauened? , �*, ., ~ happened? i suppose it's a bit like everything. it _ happened? i suppose it's a bit like everything, it depends _ happened? i suppose it's a bit like everything, it depends who - happened? i suppose it's a bit like everything, it depends who you i happened? i suppose it's a bit like| everything, it depends who you ask and where you are when you asked them. today, we were in cheadle, which is in stockport, and its conservative at the moment but does tend to sway back and forth between conservatives and liberal democrats. the liberal democrat leader was in the seat today in the constituency. it's obviously a plan to visit, but he took the opportunity to demand that rishi sunak and the prime minister borisjohnson should resign. that wasn't, however, the overall feeling we got from people in the streets. people were
7:54 pm
generally of one voice and said they've done wrong, they should have to pay the fines and we are angry at them, but when they were pressed on should they resign, they would say no. not yet. this isn't the time. not while this war is going on. however, if you go over to merseyside, it's completely different. it's very left—leaning and there's only one conservative mp. the local paper took a survey and found that 82% of people there said that borisjohnson should resign. i also spoke to a mum from liverpool yesterday. her daughter was 19 and she died in may 2020 of cancer. they self—isolated, so her daughter didn't see any members of herfamily apart from daughter didn't see any members of her family apart from her mum daughter didn't see any members of herfamily apart from her mum and dad for weeks before she died. she is furious, she says that boris
7:55 pm
johnson has shown no moral integrity and he absolutely should resign. i think if people have lost loved ones and didn't get to see them before they died, the answer is more black and white, but there are still plenty of people here willing to give the prime minister another chance. , , , . give the prime minister another chance. i, , . , , give the prime minister another chance. , , , . , chance. very briefly, all eyes on the local elections _ chance. very briefly, all eyes on the local elections in _ chance. very briefly, all eyes on the local elections in may. - chance. very briefly, all eyes on the local elections in may. do i chance. very briefly, all eyes on | the local elections in may. do we expect any surprises? you could. there are — expect any surprises? you could. there are some _ expect any surprises? you could. there are some interesting - expect any surprises? you could. there are some interesting seatsj there are some interesting seats here. most of the ones that are of no overall control, bolton, the conservatives have no control, so they will look carefully at that one. bury is interesting because whoever tends to win tends to win and get into number ten downing street. at the moment, bury is labour, but they could easily lose. the conservatives are keen to get there. the northwest has gone

7:57 pm
is pushing in low grey cloud, mist and murk around coasts. it will be a mild night. nine degrees in plymouth, eight in cardiff, maybe no colder than around five in glasgow. perhaps a touch of frost in the sheltered glens, but that's pretty much it. here's the weather map for thursday, and that mass of cloud that i mentioned out towards the west is encroaching. in fact, rain in ireland. that does mean thicker cloud and also outbreaks of rain eventually reaching northern ireland and western parts of scotland, but elsewhere, it should be a relatively bright day after a very slow grey start. i think the best of the sunshine — central, eastern, southern areas, and here temperatures will probably nudge up to around 19 or so, whereas out towards the north west, with more cloud and the outbreaks of rain, closer to around 13—15 degrees. and that weather front kind of almost stalls just to the west of us. it does mean further cloud and the possibility of catching some rain, so always the drier weather will be further east and south, and here, sunny spells with the temperatures getting up to around 20 in london, but also a little bit warmer
7:58 pm
there in glasgow and edinburgh, up to around 16 on good friday. now, how about the weekend and into monday itself? well, the weather slowly will turn more unsettled, but not until sunday night and into monday when this low pressure arrives, so i think as far as saturday and sunday are concerned, the easter weekend, overall, the weather is looking mainly dry. it's going to be nice and warm in any sunny spells with some overnight mist and fog and then more unsettled with some rain come monday. bye— bye.
