few days. a couple of hours ago it was supposed to be starting according to city council. honestly, we don't know when information is quite slick and of mariupol and the damage to the city's communications infrastructure and we will find out probably later in the day information starts to trickle out as to whether the buses set off the number of buses, number of people, type of people on board and if they do work and they do start to get people out it wouldn't be until tomorrow that they could get through the many russian checkpoints that line the road heading west and head north to the town or city of zaporizhzhia which is inside ukrainian controls territory. bass ukrainian controls territory. boss about president _ ukrainian controls territory. boss about president zelensky saying this is just the beginning about president zelensky saying this isjust the beginning of about president zelensky saying this is just the beginning of the ship or �*s ambitions and military aims, that butter could bear the brunt of military aggression? what more do we know about that? this military aggression? what more do we know about that?— know about that? this came from a seech know about that? this came from a speech given _ know about that? this came from a speech given by — know about that? this came from a speech given by a _ know about that? this came from a speech given by a senior— know about that? this came from a speech given by a senior but - know about that? this came from a speech given by a senior but not. know about that? this came from a | speech given by a senior but not top russian major general saying their aim was now to take notjust the

painting the ukrainians and russians as the light in the darkness. campaigning has ended in france ahead of what's expected to be a close run— off between president emmanuel macron, and his far—right rival, marine le pen, on sunday. 0pinion polls suggest macron still has the upper hand, but his challenger could perform better than she did when the pair went head to head in 2017. we can cross live to la courneuve, just outside paris, thanks very much. both those things he said yesterday, the pending better than when but my consul having a clear lead at both the case no huge surprise if the election did not turn out that way but opinion polls are opinion polls and as emmanuel macron said as his last word in this campaign they don't win elections, voting does, and there is

an anxiety about central rates. i just want to say about the village where we are, behind me as the old steelworks from way back in the turn of the 1900s. this was quite a industrial heartlands. changed over and now has about 30—35% immigrant population very much a working—class neck of the woods and it voted very strongly in favour of the man who didn't make it to the final round, jean—luc melenchon, 63% here for john mcmullen chung and he got 23% overall so where does leave him and his fran ——jean—luc overall so where does leave him and his fran —— jean—luc melenchon and his fran —— jean—luc melenchon and his party? we could talk to an activist from the party now, francis hazelton. thank you very much for joining us. i should point out your english is better than mine see a parents are both british, you have lived if all your life and never finish citizen is one. why did you vote forjohn mcmullen shone and why

downing street has confirmed that borisjohnson has not received any further fixed penalty notices for breaking lockdown rules. the british prime minister has returned to the uk after a two—day trip to india. it was been overshadowed by the controversy over lockdown parties in downing street — with his leadership under increasing strain. 0ur political correspondent — jonathan blake — is with me in the studio. in the grand scheme of things not hugely significant, i have to say. they have been brought to the last 24 they have been brought to the last 2a hours that some fixed penalty notices have been issued to staff at an event in the downing street garden in may 2021 staff are invited to socially distanced drinks as they were told in an e—mail from to socially distanced drinks as they were told in an e—mailfrom a to socially distanced drinks as they were told in an e—mail from a senior civil servant and people told to bring their own booze for the prime minister was there and he has apologised in parliament saying at the time he thought it was a work of and he should have in hindsight found another way to thank people for their hard work until they want to go inside but up until now, at

least, he is not one of those who have received a fixed penalty notice. that is not to say she won't in due course for that or other events but it is tricky to establish how the police investigation is taking its course because the metropolitan police have said they won't issue any further confirmation of major developments in the investigation until after local elections across much of the uk at the beginning of may and these finds are being issued to individual so while downing street has said it will say publicly if borisjohnson gets any more fines for officials and others it is up to them individually to mass and say so in public if they wish. in individually to mass and say so in public if they wish.— public if they wish. in terms of where we _ public if they wish. in terms of where we finish _ public if they wish. in terms of where we finish this _ public if they wish. in terms of where we finish this week - public if they wish. in terms of where we finish this week it i public if they wish. in terms of. where we finish this week it has been quite a tortuous week for the prime minister. where does it even in terms of security in the role? if he was hoping his two—day ship to end it was going to shift the focus away from the partygate saga and on

to substantial issues such as a free trade deal in the works between uk and india, britain �*s response to a war in and other subjects but he may have done that briefly and if anything he is coming back to a worse situation than after he left. parliament is in an inquiry into whether he mis—led mps that no rules were broken it downing street and other government buildings and there are signs that support on his own backbenchers if anything is slipping away slightly map than being strengthened. 0ne prominent backbencher and has a commerce of the gig was the prime minister and the gig was the prime minister and the interview with the telegraph today said that party will reap the whirlwind for this on polling day in the elections to come. the next big market here is a lot of conservative mps his future the prime minister hold in their hands really to a

large extent will decide what to do. jonathan blake, our political correspondent. guns are now the leading cause of death in young people in the us, overtaking drug overdoses and cab accidents. the site contributed to the total but the data showed homicide as the majority of the deaths. guns are now the leading cause of death for us children and teenagers — according to new research. data from the centers for disease control and prevention shows that over 400,300 young americans died of firearm—related injuries in 2020 overtaking drug overdoses and car accidents. while suicides contributed to the toll, the data shows that homicides form the majority of gun—related deaths. more than 390 million guns are owned by us civilians. the parents of madeleine mccann have welcomed the decision by portuguese authorities to declare a german man as an official suspect in their daughter's disappearance. madeleine was three years old when she was last seen at the resort of praia de

luz in 2007. the suspect hasn't been formally named, but is believed to be 45—year—old christian brueckner, who's serving a jail term in germany for an unrelated offence. 0ur correspondentjon kay is in portugal and has more on the developments in madeleine mccann's case. we assume that the portuguese authorities here are going to want to question this man, but how is that going to happen? will they want to travel to germany to interrogate him in the prison where he's already being held on unrelated offenses? or will they rely on the german police to do that for them? and how will the british police be involved? the metropolitan police have been involved in this wider investigation over the last few years. will they have questions that they want to ask? so we're still getting a sense of how that's going to work. and remember, the timing here is really important because in the next few days, it will be 15 years since madeleine mccann was last seen on this beach, since she disappeared here in praia da luz. and 15 years is a really important point here in portugal. after then, it's really difficult for somebody to be made an official suspect, or an arguido, in a case like this. so by doing this now, the portuguese authorities have more room in the weeks, months, maybe years going forwards,

they have more options. and madeleine's parents issued a statement last night, kate and gerry mccann. they said that they welcomed this development, that they saw it potentially as progress, but they know that the people can be made a suspect and then that can be withdrawn. it happened to them years ago. so they pointed out that this man has not been charged with anything. we know that previously he's denied any involvement. i think one of the most moving things they said in their statement is that even after all these years, they still have hope. they have hope that madeleine could still be alive. and they say that they hope in that case that one day they might be reunited with her. jon kay. supermarkets across the uk are limiting how much cooking oil customers are able to buy, as supplies are hit by the war in ukraine. the british retail consortium

says the restrictions are a temporary measure "to ensure availability for everyone." our business reporter simon browning is here. this is an unexpected and sad consequence of what is happening in ukraine, but the sunflower is the national symbol of ukraine and sunflower oil production has been severely affected by the invasion and what is happening there. so there is a limitation on supplies at the moment — uk supermarkets, tesco are offering three bottles per customer at the moment, waitrose and morrisons limited shoppers to two bottles each, and the boss of iceland has also said that they are limiting production, bringing in smaller bottles. sunflower oil is using so much of our cooking here in the united kingdom. we use it at home to cook, and it is also lots of the products we buy from supermarkets and is involved in factory production. one big manager told the bbc a few months ago that they only had four months' supply at that point

and it is used in their production processes for things like biscuits, oven chips, mayonnaise, tuna, crisps and cereal bars. huge amounts of cupboard staples that we will need day—to—day in our shops. there's a big push now to find alternative sources to sunflower oil as supplies run low. almost 100,000 fans will fill out london's wembley stadium tonight as it hosts one of the biggest all—british heavyweight bouts in history. tyson fury will defend his wbc heavyweight title against dillian whyte. it'll be fury�*s second defence of the title he won from deontay wilder in february 2020. the champion will look to strengthen his status as the best in the division but whyte is planning to shock the boxing world. i can speak now to jamie moore, former british, commonwealth and european boxing champion, now boxing trainer. can dillian whyte do it? is more than capable — can dillian whyte do it? is more than capable of— can dillian whyte do it? is more than capable of doing _ can dillian whyte do it? is more than capable of doing it - can dillian whyte do it? is more than capable of doing it i - can dillian whyte do it? is more than capable of doing it i think | can dillian whyte do it? is more| than capable of doing it i think it will be a very competitive fence.

behind closed and the attitude is different in that situation and you can hear every instruction coming from the corner, for instance, so you get a little bit of an input into what you going to try and do but the crowd behind you, the roar of the crowd, the atmosphere, can give you that extra 5—10% needed in a tough fight to a push over the line and it can make a fight which is sometimes going under the radar and a little bit boring, as soon as there is a bit of an exchange and there is a bit of an exchange and the crowd up, the crowd erupts, you can make the fight and much more exciting fight. just like the crowd erupts. from the commonwealth and european boxing trainer now and i'm sure you will be watching it is indeed we will take. thanks so much.

will be back with you in the headlines injust will be back with you in the headlines in just a few minutes. then go away. —— don't go away. hello. a lot of dry weather to come across the uk across this weekend and on into the week ahead. how is lying down here in ballymena in northern ireland a little earlier. that used to be said is a sign of rain is coming but very little chance here as it stands. these are rainfall accumulations here at the next few days. i know the man behind me is in shades of blue but we are at best in the very pale end and we are looking just a couple of millimetres across most of the uk.

there is a front to the south planning to continent. i survive between the two fairly close together and that is why we sing a notable easterly wind through the course of the weekend. there is a small chance of some showers across wednesday to the afternoon, maybe the odd one getting into yorkshire coming of the north sea coast but overall we are dominated by dry weather and that easterly wind keeps things feeling particularly cool: the length of the north sea coast some spots getting no high and 11 or 12 degrees in sunshine in the west and we should take the maxi temperature 16—17— 18. net chance of a patchy frosting is eastern areas to the small hours, very little change in that weather picture on the over sunday and if anything perhaps more in the way of sunshine on sunday for england and wales, chance of a shelf in the channel islands, one or two may be for the south—west of england and elsewhere it is looking dry. still some thick cloud sitting to the north of
