0desa. that is significant because it would take them all the weight of the border with moldova. 0n the border eastern of moldova is an area called transnistria which is declared as a pendant since 1995 and is russian speaking and has russian troops there and there were fears that if the russians were to wall off southern ukraine they would be bordering transnistria which they sort of running anyway and therefore might feed into moldovan territory and this feeds into a narrative of fear that russia has designs on the entire former soviet bloc. joan wood s-ueakin to entire former soviet bloc. joan wood speaking to me _ entire former soviet bloc. joan wood speaking to me a _ entire former soviet bloc. joan wood speaking to me a short _ entire former soviet bloc. joan wood speaking to me a short time - entire former soviet bloc. joan wood speaking to me a short time ago. -- | speaking to me a short time ago. —— joe inward. the ukrainian deputy prime minister iryna vereshchuk said that if all goes well evacuation from mariupol will begin today. 100 000 civilians currently remain in the city. previous attempts to evacuate civilians have failed. let's get some analysis about the situation on the ground. i'm joined now by drjack watling, a land warfare expert at rusi,

a british defence think tank. good to have you with us. do you think these humanitarian governors have any hope of potential to work this time and in the past they haven't? ., , , this time and in the past they haven't? . , , , ., haven't? that is entirely up to the russians who _ haven't? that is entirely up to the russians who have _ haven't? that is entirely up to the russians who have at _ haven't? that is entirely up to the russians who have at times - haven't? that is entirely up to the - russians who have at times disrupted civilian evacuation and other times they allow it and is tactic we have seenin they allow it and is tactic we have seen in numerous instances where the russians will terrify people by striking hospitals and other things to display civilians and will then allow them to get out if they want to reduce the burden of having to feed them or will prevent them getting out there if they want to force the defender staff to look after those civilians so it is really in russia's court. that is indeed the _ really in russia's court. that is indeed the strategy _ really in russia's court. that is indeed the strategy for - really in russia's court. that is| indeed the strategy for russian forces what is to be gained by targeting civilians and that way? going through a complex environment thatis going through a complex environment that is hostile to you in syria are now in ukraine they are clearing out a lot of those people where there is

a lot of those people where there is a means of simplifying operation in the city also means they are captioning impacts the city they no longer need to feed look after those civilians if they are evacuated. conversely, if the are large numbers of civilians in the ukrainian side of civilians in the ukrainian side of the line then ukrainians are large numbers of civilians in the ukrainian side of the line then the ukrainians of anna they can be fed which limits the resources available for defenders.— for defenders. what is your take on what is happening _ for defenders. what is your take on what is happening at _ for defenders. what is your take on what is happening at the _ for defenders. what is your take on i what is happening at the steelworks, the the is of style steelworks, huge steel mill which appears to be a stronghold for ukrainian forces that —— as of style steelworks. this smack azovstal. -- as of style steelworks. this smack azovstal.— -- as of style steelworks. this smack azovstal. , ., ., , ., smack azovstal. the steelworks has a m riad of smack azovstal. the steelworks has a myriad of layered _ smack azovstal. the steelworks has a myriad of layered industrial— myriad of layered industrial basements which means the defender is unable to retreat underground and also destroyed by artillery and also because it is an industrial site dealing with very high temperatures on the world is a very thick, sturdy

construction and so the defenders are able to shelter there and move around this large complex facility in a way that means they can survive against the artillery strikes and air strikes that are being conducted and so it is the part of the city that they have withdrawn too because it is where they are most protected. the other interesting point is that while russia are stepping up its offensive uk intelligence are saying actually very little has been gained by that set me in the last 24—hour. the russians have started what they're calling shaping operations using artillery to break up the defenders but the russians are really struggling with maths. they have tank drivers and crews of their infantry fighting vehicles but they are limited when the dismount from the solutions need to decide when they commit. they commit to early they commit. they commit to early they will take heavy casualties are

not secure enough ground. they don't have enough troops to do that again and again and again so i think what we will see as the russians try and hold back until they think there is an opportunity to make significant gains. an opportunity to make significant rains. ., an opportunity to make significant .ains. ., g. . ,, an opportunity to make significant rains. ., ., ., gains. doctorjack watling, thanks to much analysis _ gains. doctorjack watling, thanks to much analysis there. _ gains. doctorjack watling, thanks to much analysis there. thank - gains. doctorjack watling, thanks | to much analysis there. thank you. 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, and my colleague david eades. ben, thanks very much indeed. lots of votes up for grabs between these two candidates because between the notched up about 50% he had another half of the electorate who have a

saying you were frustrated about what happened two weeks ago. well, actually, there is a third round and that third round, maybe we can win and maybe we can havejean—luc melenchon as prime minister. you and maybe we can have jean-luc melenchon as prime minister. you do with momentum, _ melenchon as prime minister. you do with momentum, certainly, _ melenchon as prime minister. you do with momentum, certainly, at- melenchon as prime minister. you do with momentum, certainly, at this i with momentum, certainly, at this stage. thank you very much for your use, member of the european parliament for the left—wing french party but at this stage it is about marine le pen and about a manual 0micron and the voters tomorrow because opinion polls say it will be emmanuel macron but opinion polls don“t decide elections —— about marine le pen and about emmanuel macron. voting takes place on thursday will have a special programme for neither results. is that as france decides.

some breaking news to bring you from japan, where coastguard vessels and patrol aircraft are searching for 26 passengers and crew of a sightseeing boat missing off the northern island of hokkaido. the authorities lost contact with the vessel — the kazu 0ne — after its crew told the coastguard that it was taking on water and had started to sink. local media reported those on board were wearing life jackets. the area where the boat ran into trouble, the shiretoko peninsula, is a world heritage site known for its unique wildlife, including the endangered steller“s sea lion. we will bring you any updates on that as we get it here on bbc news. 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. jonathan blake our political correspondent spoke to me earlier about the significance of the british prime minster not

receiving any more fines yet.. in the scheme of things, not cheaply significant i have to say. there have been reports in the last 2a hours or so that some fixed penalty notices have been issued to people in 10 downing street garden and started by being invited to socially distanced drinks as they were described in an e—mailfrom a senior civil servant and people were told to bring your own booze. the prime minister was there and has apologised in parliament saying at the time he thought it was a work event and he should have in hindsight found another way to thank people for the hard work and told everyone 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 he 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 met police have said they won't issue any further confirmation of major developments in the investigation until after the

local elections across much at the beginning of may and these fines are being issued to individuals, 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 come out and say so individually to come out and say so in public if they wish. in individually to come out and say so in public if they wish.— in public if they wish. in terms of where we — in public if they wish. in terms of where we finish _ in public if they wish. in terms of where we finish this _ in public if they wish. in terms of where we finish this week, - in public if they wish. in terms of where we finish this week, it - in public if they wish. in terms of where we finish this week, it hasj where we finish this week, it has been quite a torturous week for the fai mr, hasn“t been quite a torturous week for the fai mr, hasn't it? where does he leave things in terms of his security in the role? —— quite a torturous week for the prime minister. ii torturous week for the prime minister. ., , ., , ., , minister. if he was hoping to shift the focus under _ minister. if he was hoping to shift the focus under substantial - minister. if he was hoping to shift| the focus under substantial issues such as the trade deal between uk and india, britain was “s response the war in ukraine and other subjects he may have done that briefly but he is coming back too, if anything, worse situation than when he left. parliament has in his absence now voted in favour of

launching an inquiry about whether he misled mps in the house of commons in his statement no rules were broken during the pandemic in downing street of gatherings and other government buildings and there are signs that support among his own backbenchers is if anything is slipping away slightly rather than being strengthened. 0ne prominent backbencher, steve baker said in the house of commons this week the kick was up for the prime minister and in an interview with the telegraph today he said the prime minister will reap the whirlwind of all this on polling day there is local elections. on polling day there is local elections-— on polling day there is local elections. ., ., on polling day there is local elections. . . ., elections. jonathan blake there and sor about elections. jonathan blake there and sorry about that _ elections. jonathan blake there and sorry about that the _ elections. jonathan blake there and sorry about that the verve - elections. jonathan blake there and sorry about that the verve at - elections. jonathan blake there and sorry about that the verve at the . sorry about that the verve at the start. we've sorted the sound out. 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 report simon browning explains more. this is an unexpected and sad consequence of what's 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's a limitat on supplies at the moment — uk supermarkets, tesco is allowing three bottles per customer at the moment, waitrose and morrisons have limited shoppers to two items each, and iceland, the boss of iceland, i was also told this morning that they“re limiting production and bringing in smaller bottles. now, sunflower oil is used in so much of our cooking here in the united kingdom. we use it at home to cook, but it's also lots of the products that we buy from the supermarket and it's involved in so much factory production. one big manufacturer told the bbc a few months ago that they only had four months“ supply at that point, and it's used in their production processes for things like biscuits, oven chips, mayonnaise, tuna, crisps and cereal bars — huge amounts of, you know, cupboard staples that we all need day—to—day in our shops. now, there's a big push now to find alternative sources to sunflower oil as supplies run low. joining me now is the pioneer of a all female kitchen and restaurateur asma khan, who above everything is a passionate home cook who is very worried about the shortage of cooking oil

especially during the last ten days of ramadan. how big a problem is this going to be, do you think? it is how big a problem is this going to be, do you think?— be, do you think? it is a very big roblem be, do you think? it is a very big problem because _ be, do you think? it is a very big problem because for— be, do you think? it is a very big problem because for us - be, do you think? it is a very big | problem because for us ramadan be, do you think? it is a very big - problem because for us ramadan is, of course, you know, we don't eat from sunrise to sunset that the tradition as we all have pakoras or samosas. it is a big feast, you know, you haven't eaten for 16 hours and this is part of the tradition of finely after two years we have been able to have friends and family around to break bread and then we have this crisis. it is quite serious and on the build—up to eat it will be a big problem because, you know, we all remember the beginning of lockdown when there was no flour and eggs but, you know, you can do other things. the problem is without cooking oil it is really and indian food and a loss of eastern food, you cannot have flavoured oil because it impacts the spices just met a lot of eastern food. so for us

sunflower oil is what all is used to cook because all of the royals have a very distinct flavour. in cook because all of the royals have a very distinct flavour.— a very distinct flavour. in which case people — a very distinct flavour. in which case people watching - a very distinct flavour. in which case people watching at - a very distinct flavour. in which case people watching at home| a very distinct flavour. in which - case people watching at home perhaps preparing their meals to have their families ran together and they are wondering what we can do instead, as a restaurant, is a cult, what is your advice if they can get hold of oil? —— as a restaurant owner and as a cook? oil? -- as a restaurant owner and as a cook? ., ., ., , ., .,, a cook? you have to try and find as neutral and — a cook? you have to try and find as neutral and alternative _ a cook? you have to try and find as neutral and alternative in _ a cook? you have to try and find as neutral and alternative in oil - neutral and alternative in oil because we cannot cook with olive oil so we have got to actually have a flavourless oil and of course there is rapeseed oil and people can try and see if there are other alternative oils they can get from their supermarkets because that is what we need to do because, you know, without oil we cannot cook. i suppose that oil, you can cook things that need to be fighters easily. what about perhaps a shift away from things that are fried. is that an option?— away from things that are fried. is that an option? whatever, the base of all our grey _ that an option? whatever, the base of all our grey faces _ that an option? whatever, the base of all our grey faces fried _ that an option? whatever, the base

to strengthen his status as the best in the division but whyte is planning to shock the boxing world.0n earlier, i spoke to jamie moore, former british, commonwealth and european boxing champion, now boxing trainer. did he think whyte could beat fury? he's more than capable of doing it. i think it will be a very competitive fight. i don't think many people are giving him much a chance because tyson fury over the past four years he hasjust been head and shoulders above everyone else, but i think it will be much more competitive than people have expected. in terms of the strategy each one will be going into this with, how do the two differ? tyson fury seems to have a lot of strings to his bow in terms of his style. generally, he uses his height and reach to his advantage and he's very mobile for the size of him, but we've

seen him in his trilogy with deontay wilder he can really mix it up in have a source of power as well so i think he will try a sort of... going in and out of different styles and he is a good body fighter so i think he will try to wear tyson fury down to the body. hello. a lot of dry weather to come across the uk this weekend and on into the week ahead. cows lying down here in ballymena in northern ireland a little earlier — that used to be said it's a sign that rain“s coming, but very little chance here as it stands. these are all rainfall accumulations for the next seven days. i know the map behind me shades in blue, but we're down this very pale blue end, and that means at best a couple of millimeters for some parts of the uk, towards the west, nothing at all. why is it so dry? high pressure.

this big high sitting to the north of the uk. there is a low for the south, ploughing off into the continent. the isobars between the two are fairly close together and that's why we're seeing a notable easterly wind through the course of the weekend. there's a small chance of some showers across wales, the midlands and the south—west of england through the afternoon, maybe the odd one getting into yorkshire coming in off the north sea coast, but overall we“re dominated by dry weather. that easterly wind keeps things feeling particularly cool along the length of the north sea coast, some spots getting no higher than 11 or 12 degrees here. sunshine further west, and we should see temperatures 16, 17, 18 degrees. 0vernight saturday into sunday the isobars open up a little bit across scotland. chance of a patchy frost in eastern areas through the small hours. you can see, though, very little change in that weather picture on the whole for sunday. if anything, perhaps more in the way of sunshine on sunday for england and wales. chance of a shower for in the channel islands. one or two maybe for the south—west of england. elsewhere it is looking dry. still some thicker cloud sitting to the north of scotland. temperatures on sunday, we're still looking highs of 16—18. here's a change for the beginning

of the week, though. high pressure, that's not going anywhere, but it's drifting a little bit further westwards, so we willjust push our winds round to a more northerly direction after the easterly of the weekend, and what that does is tap us into arctic air, so the feel through the coming seven days will be an increasingly chilly one. temperatures, though, still with a bit of sunshine. responding not too bad overall, so just a shade down on where we“d expect them to be for this time of year, but gone the 17s and 18s — we're looking at perhaps 14s or 15s at best. a lot of dry weather through the week ahead.
