target for russian forces as they're crucial for both bringing in supplies and evacuating civilians. the number of injured or killed isn't yet known. meanwhile, unrelenting russian attacks continue in the eastern donbas region. there has been fighting there since 2014 between ukrainian forces and separatists who want closer ties with russia. as the constant shelling wreaks huge damage on towns and cities there, women, children, the old and sick are trying to survive in dark basements, desperately short of food and water. our defence correspondent jonathan beale reports from donbas. the first signs of spring, now drowned out by heavy shelling. in eastern ukraine, third battered flag is still flying. but the signs of life are vanishing fast in the face of a renewed russian offensive. russia's making small gains, but

but there is no peace from the constant barrage of artillery. it is becoming yet another russian war of attrition. they are trying to break ukrainian forces along a front line that stretches for 300 miles. we have that stretches for 300 miles. - have bomb attacks, rocket attacks every day. every day, every time, every day. every day, every time, every day, every house, all days. if we lose, we lose not only ukraine, the whole world. your country and other countries, too.— the whole world. your country and other countries, too. here they are still relying — other countries, too. here they are still relying on _ other countries, too. here they are still relying on mostly _ other countries, too. here they are still relying on mostly old - other countries, too. here they are still relying on mostly old soviet i still relying on mostly old soviet weaponry. they proudly show off their one british supplied anti—tank missile. they have already used the other one to destroy a russian tank.
5:05 pm
we need to win for our freedom. we need the weapons. and when we have more, the war is ending. [30 need the weapons. and when we have more, the war is ending.— more, the war is ending. do you have enou:h of more, the war is ending. do you have enough of them? _ more, the war is ending. do you have enough of them? for _ more, the war is ending. do you have enough of them? for this _ more, the war is ending. do you have enough of them? for this position? i enough of them? for this position? no. ukrainian _ enough of them? for this position? no. ukrainian forces _ enough of them? for this position? no. ukrainian forces have - enough of them? for this position? no. ukrainian forces have been - no. ukrainian forces have been holding the line here since 2014 against russian backed separatists. they are still holding the line, but this time against the russian army, and what has been sporadic fighting over the last eight years has now turned into a full—blown war, and they are being pounded by russian artillery. this war is grinding down life in the donbas. deserted towns and cities slowly being destroyed as we travelled through the region.
5:06 pm
the only certainty, this will be costly and brutal for whoever wins this war. meanwhile, a proposed humanitarian corridor to evacuate civilians caught in the siege at the steelworks in mariupol in south—eastern ukraine has failed after the ukrainian authorities said they had not been involved in discussions to set it up. the us secretary of state anthony blinken and defence secretary lloyd austin have made a trip to the ukrainian capital, kyiv. afterwards, mr austin said he wanted russia to be weakened so that it can't repeat its actions in ukraine. from ukraine, our correspondent, danjohnson has sent this report. this is the result of a strike on a substation providing power for the railway near krasne in the west of ukraine. firefighters had it under control by the time we arrived. they confirmed nobody was hurt, but the damage was significant. ukraine's military says it also shot shut down a missile this morning. we found some debris
5:07 pm
close to the attack. this is one of the main routes between lviv, kyiv and the rest of the country. attacks on the railway network were expected because these tracks have become the vital arteries maintaining the flow of weapons into ukraine, over to the east and onto the front lines, and the trains are still running. there were five strikes on the railway network across ukraine. disruptive trains also mean delays for people trying to get away from the fighting in the east, and the timing of these attacks could also be significant. the us secretary of state visited kyiv yesterday, promising more support. the bottom line is this. we don't know how the rest of this war will unfold, but we do know that a sovereign, independent ukraine will be around a lot longer than vladimir putin's on the scene and our support for ukraine going forward will continue. it will continue until we see final success. the ukrainian president seemed pleased to have seen
5:08 pm
the most senior us diplomat. translation: our talks i with him were long enough, more than three hours, and meaningful, encouraging and effective. i am grateful to the people of the united states and personally to president biden for the strong and sincere support we receive, things that strengthen not only our state, but democracy as a whole. there are more images from beneath mariupol�*s azovstal steelworks, showing how people are sheltering alongside ukrainian soldiers, but the bombardment of the plant, the city and much of the east of ukraine has continued over the weekend, meaning more loss of life. the uk defence minister has said
5:09 pm

5:10 pm
as i said mr speaker in my last statement, russia has so far failed in nearly every one of its objectives. in recognition of this failure, the russian high command has regrouped, reinforced and changed focus to securing donetsk and luhansk. a failure of russian command and control at all levels means they have now appointed one overall commander. at the start of this conflict russia had committed over 120 italian tactical groups, approximately 65% of its entire ground combat strength. as of now, we assess that around 25% of these have been rendered not combat effective. ukraine, mr speaker, is an inspiration to us all. their prey people have never stopped fighting for their lands. they have endured indiscriminate bombardment, war
5:11 pm
crimes and overwhelming military aggression, but they have stood firm, galvanised the international community and beating back the army of russia in the north and the north—east. we anticipate that this next phase of the invasion will be an attempt by russia to occupy further the donbas and connect via mariupol to crimea, so it is urgent that we in the international community ensures that ukraine gets the aid and weapons it so much needs. �* ~ ., the aid and weapons it so much needs. �* ~ . ,, .,~ ., needs. ben wallace speaking earlier toda . today. anthony planck and says russia is trying to brutalise parts of ukraine but is failing in all of its war aims. he was speaking after his visit to kyiv four talks with president zelensky. an additional $700 million was pledged to the country.

5:13 pm
troops who are getting their weapons from across the border in the west. yeah, absolutely. that is the way in this part of the world that logistics work. this is the way that the hardware is transported around, ljy the hardware is transported around, by rail. ukraine is a vast country, it takes days and days to get across. railtherefore it takes days and days to get across. rail therefore is the best way and it is a way that a lot of this equipment has been coming into the country. for the russians, this is quite a logical thing to do, to try to take out that rail network, to take out the supply lines, meaning the trips that they are fighting in the east, these trips in the donbas, very well trained and equipped, but will run out of equipment and do need more equipment, it will cut off their resupply and their chances of putting up a sterner fight. it resupply and their chances of putting up a sterner fight. it has been announced _ putting up a sterner fight. it has been announced by _ putting up a sterner fight. it has been announced by the - putting up a sterner fight. it has been announced by the defence| been announced by the defence secretary, ben wallace, they are
5:14 pm
saying that armoured vehicles fitted with anti—air missile launchers are going to be heading to the ukrainian military. this will be short range... it will improve their short range... it will improve their short range anti—air capabilities. that kind of heavy hardware is what will be needed for this battle in the east, with much more open countryside, big flat plains where you are going to get a lot of heavy russian military armour. yes. russian military armour. yes, absolutely- — russian military armour. yes, absolutely. those _ russian military armour. yes, absolutely. those vehicles, i russian military armour. yes, i absolutely. those vehicles, they russian military armour. is: absolutely. those vehicles, they are fitted with star streak air defence capabilities. it is this new generation of anti—air weapons that the british have been sending over. we have seen dramatic footage of that taking down a russian helicopter. it fires these three charts that are able to bypass the usual air defence systems, so this kind of equipment will be crucial. as you say, in the big open plains
5:15 pm
of the donbas, artillery will come into play, as will aircraft and tanks. we will not see the kind of infantry ambush tactics that were so effective a run kyiv. this will be a more traditional heavy armour battle. these bits of kit, these armoured vehicles with anti—aircraft capabilities will be essential. irate capabilities will be essential. we knew at the beginning of this conflict that the ukrainians were saying we are going to win this. i think a lot of people believe that was just rhetoric, to gee up the trips and keep their morale up. given that we are now entering the third month of this conflict, we heard lloyd austin, the us defence secretary, said he firmly believed the ukrainians could win. is there a sense that with the russian military already having used up a lot of its resources, it still has a lot to use, as well, but a lot of russian servicemen have died. is there a
5:16 pm
sense that at least a russian military could be fought to a standstill in this conflict by little ukraine? i standstill in this conflict by little ukraine?— standstill in this conflict by little ukraine? ~ , little ukraine? i think there is. i was in the _ little ukraine? i think there is. i was in the donbas _ little ukraine? i think there is. i was in the donbas a _ little ukraine? i think there is. i was in the donbas a few - little ukraine? i think there is. i was in the donbas a few weeks | little ukraine? i think there is. i - was in the donbas a few weeks ago, and we talk about it being big, open countryside, but it is also very heavily defended, very well fortified. the trips that we met ware incredibly determined. i am no expert on this, but they look to me like they were very well equipped, very well trained. these were professional soldiers, not some dad's army, these are battle hardened soldiers ready for a fight. it would be a finnish game to try to predict what would happen, you can change quickly it is very unpredictable, but the ukrainians don't seem to be in and forgiving in orfor abandoning this. if don't seem to be in and forgiving in or for abandoning this. if they can grind down the russian advance,
5:17 pm
maybe they could pull off something that a couple of months ago people thought was almost impossible. is thought was almost impossible. is there something to be said about the fact that a lot of the troops in the north of the country, 16 miles behind where you're standing on those northern suburbs of the capital, who lost the battle of kyiv and are now being redirected to the east, are they going to have much of a will to want to fight on having been defeated in the north? i a will to want to fight on having been defeated in the north? i think it is notjust — been defeated in the north? i think it is notjust a _ been defeated in the north? i think it is notjust a quest _ been defeated in the north? i think it is notjust a quest of _ been defeated in the north? i think it is notjust a quest of well, - been defeated in the north? i think it is notjust a quest of well, it - it is notjust a quest of well, it is also a question of being resupplied. i think they haven't had the time and the capacity to restock a resupply. i was reading an interesting comment this morning about how there is a huge psychological element to this. these are people who have notjust gone through a terrible defeat, but many of them have been involved or have been accused of being involved in
5:18 pm
war crimes. they have seen their comrades killed. whether they will be in a state to re—enter the fight, and what capacity they will have, we don't know, but you can imagine they will not be at full battle readiness.— will not be at full battle readiness. ., , sophiejamieson was a child star who dreamt of reaching the top of world gymnastics, but that dream turned sour after she was, she claims, expected to train in excruciating pain after injuries, such as a dislocated knee. another child gymnast, just 12, suffered a horrific injury when she fell doing the splits, but it was wrongly dismissed as a period. just some of the allegations against a former top coach of the british gymnastics team liz kincaid. she categorically denies all the allegations against her. here s our sports correspondent natalie pirks — and you may find some of the details of this story distressing.
5:19 pm
these skills helped britain's women land their first olympic team medal in gymnastics since 1928. what a routine! but missing from her side as she celebrated brian's last summer was her personal coach. a wonderful team. liz kincaid, a hugely successful coach, was all set to be in tokyo, but just a few weeks out from the opening ceremony, a very serious allegation was made surrounding the mental health of one of her former gymnasts. a british gymnastics investigation was launched and she was pulled from the coaching squad. the official reason given was her retirement, but that complaint was not the only one the governing body had received about liz kincaid. sophiejamison on the beam for the academy. three time champion, sophie jamison, was one of liz kincaid's child stars. she remembers training on a broken
5:20 pm
ankle taken out of its cast too early at kincaid's request. 0ther mismanaged injuries followed. i dislocated my knee on beam. i looked down, and i rememberjust screaming in the gym. it was quite a horrific experience. i was in a big knee brace. she wanted me to carry on upper body training, swinging on bars and stuff. your legs still have to come up and ijust, i do remember that being absolutely excruciating. poppy says this footage of her at nine years old when kincaid started coaching her was the last time she truly loved gymnastics. many injuries followed, but her most disturbing came at the age of 12, when she fell from the bars in splits and tore her perinium. i went to liz, obviously i had blood dripping down my leg, she then took me into the office and gave me sanitary pads to effectively, like, mop of the blood, i guess, and sent me back into the gym. poppy says her mum wasn't called,
5:21 pm
but when she collected her hours later, she realised something was badly wrong. poppy ended up spending the night in hospital. my mum had been told i'd just started menstrating and i didn't, i told my mum i had some sort of injury or accident, so she took a look and she was horrified by what...she said it was worse than childbirth. liz kincaid categorically denies all of the claims made in this piece and says, "the health, well—being and safety of the gymnasts under my care and tuition was of paramount importance to me and a matter close to my heart. to suggest i would mistreat the gymnasts goes against every principle i live by and is very upsetting." both poppy and sophie are now part of a civil claim against british gymnastics. they have a clear message for the governing body. you need to take these investigations a lot more seriously and speed up the process
5:22 pm
because i see no change. she is still very capable of walking into a gym and coaching other gymnasts, and right now, i really don't think she should be. british gymnastics told the bbc it will embark on a programme of reform after next month's independent review looking into abuse in the sport and added it is determined to learn from all those who bravely come forward and raise concerns. "we are deeply sorry to those who have had a poor experience in our sport where we have fallen short." it's now been two years since the gymnastics abise scandal was exposed, the wait for answers, though, has lasted much longer for too many. natalie pirks, bbc news. the speaker of the house of commons, sir lindsay hoyle, has arranged a meeting with the editor of the mail on sunday after an article suggesting that labour's deputy leader, angela rayner, had been trying to distract borisjohnson at the dispatch box by crossing and uncrossing her legs.
5:23 pm
more than 5,000 people have complained about the coverage to the press complaints watchdog ipso. this lunchtime on a trip to bury, the prime minister was asked about this story. prime minister, can ijust firstly ask you about a question that has been in the media over the weekend? angela rayner and some of the commons made about her. yeah, i know, i... do you think this is a big problem at westminster? is it a cultural problem? well, it's hard to say, on the basis of that particular story, but i have to say, i thought it was the most appalling load of sexist, misogynist tripe, and i immediately got in touch with angela and we had a very friendly exchange, and if we ever find who is responsible for it, then i don't know what we will do with them but it will be the terrors of the earth. it is totally intolerable, that kind of thing. let's speak to our political correspondent. the speaker is going to talk to the editor of the mail on sunday. there
5:24 pm

5:25 pm
who chairs the group ofjournalists who work in the houses of parliament to talk about this. there have been calls for the journalist who wrote it to see whether he should still have a press pass. that is opening up have a press pass. that is opening up a different conversation about what that means in terms of the freedom of the press, because the journalist was saying he was reporting things that he had been told by mps. reporting things that he had been told by mps-— helen, thank you. joining us is isabel 0akeshott, international editor at talktv. it is good to see you. first of all, when you saw this story and read it or heard about it, what crossed your mind? ~ ., or heard about it, what crossed your mind? ~ . , ., or heard about it, what crossed your mind? ~ ., , ., ~' or heard about it, what crossed your mind? ~ . i. ~ ., or heard about it, what crossed your mind? . . y., 4' ., mind? what did you think of it? i thou~ht it mind? what did you think of it? i thought it was — mind? what did you think of it? i thought it was a _ mind? what did you think of it? i thought it was a very _ mind? what did you think of it? i thought it was a very typical - mind? what did you think of it? i | thought it was a very typical story for a tabloid to put on a right—hand page on a sunday. i didn't have a problem when i saw it with the claims being reported. it was the tone of the story that i think was very wrong. it wasn't reported in a
5:26 pm
way that attach to any criticism to the source. instead it was reported in a kind of tittle tattle, nudge nudge, wink wink type way, when they should have been some criticism, quite explicitly so, of the source for making such outrageous claims, so the of angela rayner.— so the of angela rayner. there was no journalism _ so the of angela rayner. there was no journalism in _ so the of angela rayner. there was no journalism in it? _ so the of angela rayner. there was no journalism in it? it _ so the of angela rayner. there was no journalism in it? it is— so the of angela rayner. there was no journalism in it? it is not - so the of angela rayner. there was no journalism in it? it is not how i l no journalism in it? it is not howl would have _ no journalism in it? it is not howl would have approached _ no journalism in it? it is not howl would have approached the i no journalism in it? it is not howl would have approached the storyl no journalism in it? it is not how i l would have approached the story is no journalism in it? it is not how i i would have approached the story is a female politicaljournalist, let's put it that way. it is going far to shoot the messenger here and suggest that the reporter should lose their lobby pass. d0 that the reporter should lose their lobb ass. ,, that the reporter should lose their lobby pass-— lobby pass. do you think there should be _ lobby pass. do you think there should be some _ lobby pass. do you think there should be some kind - lobby pass. do you think there should be some kind of- lobby pass. do you think there should be some kind of templ lobby pass. do you think there i should be some kind of temp two lobby pass. do you think there - should be some kind of temp two find out who the person was who went to this journalist with this information? i this journalist with this information?— this journalist with this information? ~ ., , this journalist with this information? ~ . , ., information? i think that is a completely _ information? i think that is a completely hopeless - information? i think that is a l completely hopeless mission, information? i think that is a i completely hopeless mission, we information? i think that is a - completely hopeless mission, we will never know who it was. i have heard calls for the banning of misogyny. you can no more do that than band band dinosaurs. you just have to
5:27 pm
wait for the dinosaurs to go extinct. i think that the fast that this story has generated might make other mps think twice about sharing that kind of nonsense with sunday newspaperjournalists, but you can't take any kind of legal measure against it or official measure. they should be down to people's common sense and good decency. but should be down to people's common sense and good decency.— sense and good decency. but there wasn't any common _ sense and good decency. but there wasn't any common sense - sense and good decency. but there wasn't any common sense are i sense and good decency. but there | wasn't any common sense are good decency, that is the suggestion. 5,000 people have complained about the coverage. what kind of trouble could the mail on sunday he in? this could the mail on sunday be in? this will ass could the mail on sunday be in? this will pass over. _ could the mail on sunday be in? this will pass over. i _ could the mail on sunday he in? try 3 will pass over, i think. in fact, i suspect the paper will be rather pleased with the outcome of this story. sunday newspaperjournalists story. sunday newspaper journalists tend story. sunday newspaperjournalists tend to be judged story. sunday newspaperjournalists tend to bejudged greatly on story. sunday newspaperjournalists tend to be judged greatly on what kind of follow up their stories get, this story is running hard. i expect privately the mail on sunday is rather proud of the fuss they have caused. they won't worry about the
5:28 pm
reporter losing their lobby pass, that will not happen. they will probably have to have that meeting with the speaker of the house and say a few words about covering things with a different tune in future, but there won't be any serious repercussions for what is basically an excellent and highly selling newspaper. the basically an excellent and highly selling newspaper.— basically an excellent and highly sellin: news--aer. ., ., ~' selling newspaper. the women working on that newspaper, _ selling newspaper. the women working on that newspaper, will _ selling newspaper. the women working on that newspaper, will they _ selling newspaper. the women working on that newspaper, will they be - on that newspaper, will they be proud, do you think? do they think... will they be running around pleased that more copies have been sold? how will they feel, or do they feel the same way? i sold? how will they feel, or do they feel the same way?— feel the same way? i think it was a missed opportunity _ feel the same way? i think it was a missed opportunity by _ feel the same way? i think it was a missed opportunity by the - feel the same way? i think it was a missed opportunity by the paper i feel the same way? i think it was a l missed opportunity by the paper not to run a feature by one of the many brilliant female writers. they could have said it was outrageous. that would have been a clever way of covering the story, having the debate about the fact that there are tories who think like this and speak like this rather than the fact the newspaper covered it. that would
5:29 pm
have been a brilliant compromise. from the story and get one of the female writers to say what a demeaning thing it is to a really impressive politician, as angela rayner. irate impressive politician, as angela ra ner. ~ ., rayner. we will leave it there. thank you _ rayner. we will leave it there. thank you very _ rayner. we will leave it there. thank you very much, - rayner. we will leave it there. thank you very much, isabel. | good evening. change could be coming to football. the government's announced that it'll be setting up an independent regulator in the sport. the premier league has accepted the case for reform and the players union has welcomed the endorsement of the issues raised in a fan—led review into the men's game. supporters will have more say in how things are run. a new owner's test will be introduced and the regulator will have the power to sanction clubs in england who break financial and other rules. there have been a number of problems in football including the failed european super league and the collapse of bury fc. the former sports minister tracey crouch led the review and was pleased with government
5:30 pm
endorsement but it does come with a slight reservation. i think this is a massive step forward for english football, —— i think this is a massive step forward for reform in english football, i think today we should celebrate the fact that the government have accepted or support alternative strategic recommendations that the finite review put forward, i think they reckon as there is a need for change, and that change has to happen. obviously, like many football fans, i always get a bit nervous when things are still there to be played for, and i would have liked to have seen the implementation sooner, but at the same time these are massive complex issues, and i think football fans will recognise that it is right for government to really look at the detail of some of these reforms. fans groups too are encouraged by today's announcement, but like crouch, they want firm commitments that action will be taken soon. it is a cautious welcome. this is a step in the right
5:31 pm
direction, but the big thing is we need that timeline, we need to have some really firm guarantees. one of the things we've seen is there have been numerous attempts —— one of the things we've seen and studied is there have been numerous attempts to try and change and reform football, seven or eight over the decades, and those have been sitting on probably a dusty little shelf under the houses of parliament right now doing nothing. we need to have that guarantee that there will be a firm timeline, there will be an implementation of a regulator. it's what football needs desperately, and it's what we're hoping to see, hoping to get the commitment in the next few days. it's a big game for leeds united against crystal palace tonight. after the weekend's results in the premier league, particularly burnley�*s victory yesterday, leeds fans are nervously looking over their shoulders. jessy marsch's side are just four points above the relegation zone, but a win at selhurst park would be a huge step towards safety. there's a lot of teams that want to stay in this league, and i don't think anyone
5:32 pm
is going to give less than their best effort, so expect investment teams, ——than their best effort, so expect to expect less from teams, it would be foolish and naive, and again, my focus with us is just that we are maximising every day we step on the pitch that we had giving our best, and we have a group that has done that, so, that can help us control our destiny more than anything. two former champions have sealed their spots world snooker championship quarter finals. 2015 winner stewart bingham fought his way into the last eight with a 13—9 win over kyren wilson, who like bingham was a semi—finalist here last year. they had beem level at 8—all, but bingham prevailed in a tense finish. he'll find out whether he'll play eitherjudd trump or anthony mcgill later. their match concludes this evening. the four—time championsjohn higgins is also into the quarter finals. he beat thailand's noppon saengkham 13—7, taking just the two frames he needed this afternoon to seal his place in the last eight.

where he'll face either neil robertson or england's jack lisowski. the 2010 champion robertson will have to fight his way back into this match this evening — lisowski here leads by nine frames to seven. robertson's the crucible favourite this year after wins at the masters and the tour championship earlier this month. much more on the fan led review and what it means for football fans around the country in sportsday at 630. but that's all the sport from me for now. a man has been arrested on man has been arrested on suspicion man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after four people were stabbed in south london. officers were called to reports of a disturbance at a house in bermondsey in the early hours of this morning. the victims, three women and a man, were all pronounced dead at the scene. one of the victims has just been named as dolet hill, who was in her mid 60s. the niece of one of the women who died paid tribute to her aunt and said she "didn't deserve this".
5:34 pm
she was very loving, very kind, very generous. she would do anything for you. she worked very hard in this country to support our two girls and our two grandkids. so she does not deserve this. the niece of one of the victims. police investigating the deaths gave this update earlier. in the early hours of this morning following — in the early hours of this morning following a — in the early hours of this morning following a call from neighbours, officers _ following a call from neighbours, officers forced entry into a house here _ officers forced entry into a house here. inside the house, they made a dreadful— here. inside the house, they made a dreadful discovery of four people who had — dreadful discovery of four people who had been stabbed. despite the best efforts of officers and paramedics, all four people were sadly— paramedics, all four people were sadly pronounced dead at the scene. i can confirm that the deceased were three _ i can confirm that the deceased were three women believed to be aged in their mid _ three women believed to be aged in their mid 605, 405 and three women believed to be aged in their mid 605,405 and 305. one man believed _ their mid 605,405 and 305. one man believed to be aged in their mid 60s _

5:36 pm
each other. this is a quiet residential neighbourhood. many people say they didn't appreciate what had happened until they left their homes this morning. as you can see behind me, the police investigation here continues. a short while ago, around half a dozen officers and blue, forensic overalls took a break from working in those fourforensic took a break from working in those four forensic tenants that are shielded by that barricade. as we heard earlier, the niece of the six—year—old woman who died in this incident came and visited scene. she was in shock herself but spoke of her being a kind, generous loving woman who would do anything for anyone. she said she was a devout christian who had just completed cancer treatment and worked for the nhs herself. it's believed that the suspected murderer is, like you say, to place amongst a known family group, all knew each other, officers say they are looking for anybody else in connection with this incident. the sense very much here is of such shock, grief and tragedy.
5:37 pm
for the community and for the same may come of this incident that started in the early hours of this morning. ok 0k gareth, thank you. live in south london. borisjohnson has boris johnson has promised borisjohnson has promised voters —— borisjohnson has promised voters more value for money and better services as he promoted the conservative party's local election campaign in england. next week on,the 5th of may, voters in england, wales, and scotland will pick who they want to run services that affect everyday life in their local area. people in northern ireland will choose its government. the prime minister has been setting out his party's stall during a visit to greater manchester. as you would expect, we are fighting for every possible vote, and i think the case is very clear. it is conservative councils that charge you less. it is labour councils that have record council taxes, and we are the party that does more to empty your beans, does more to fix potholes. i think i'm right in
5:38 pm
saying, you can fax check this if you want, but i think conservative councils do four times as many potholes, orfailing councils do four times as many potholes, or failing four times as many titles as labour councils. what we believe in fundamentally is delivering value for money and getting on with the job. that's what conservative counsellors do up and down the country. they do a fantasticjob, and we are going to be campaigning right up to polling day. irate be campaigning right up to polling da . ~ , , day. we will be live across the uk in the coming _ day. we will be live across the uk in the coming weeks _ day. we will be live across the uk in the coming weeks with - day. we will be live across the uk in the coming weeks with special| in the coming weeks with special coverage of the election campaigns. forfull coverage of the election campaigns. for full details coverage of the election campaigns. forfull details of all of coverage of the election campaigns. for full details of all of the races in your area, for full details of all of the races in yourarea, go for full details of all of the races in your area, go to the bbc news website in the politics section can even enter your postcode and get all of the details. that's all at bbc.co.uk/news. returning to the situation in ukraine now. more than 11 million people are thought to have fled their homes since the conflict began, that's according to the united nations as well as the 5.1
5:39 pm
million who have left their neighbouring countries, and of the 6.5 million people are thought to be displaced inside the war—torn country itself. joining us —— joining us is bodana yakovenko, volunteer at helping to leave, an organisation which has been assisting many ukrainians to get out of the country. this group is also trying to help ukrainians who've been forcibly deported to russia. hello to you and thank you very much indeed forjoining us. first of all, how difficult are you finding it helping people leave who want to leave an active war zone? it’s leave an active war zone? it's different _ leave an active war zone? it's different in — leave an active war zone? it�*s different in different areas. we started, of course, with ukraine at large. we are looking at more western regions, of course, it was always easier. we found that within always easier. we found that within a few weeks into us working with these cases, of course, the difficult regions that have become such hot spots, it becomes harder
5:40 pm
and harderfor any such hot spots, it becomes harder and harder for any volunteers to perform any kind of evacuation jobs, including volunteers from the ground, that have been working really, really hard and risking their lives and trying to get into these areas and get people out. currently, the data that we are getting is that a lot of these volunteers have been taken hostage by the russian forces. 50 volunteers have been taken hostage by the russian forces.— by the russian forces. so you rely and volunteers _ by the russian forces. so you rely and volunteers to _ by the russian forces. so you rely and volunteers to help _ by the russian forces. so you rely and volunteers to help get - by the russian forces. so you rely and volunteers to help get people out, what about those ukrainians who have been forcibly sent to brescia? how are you dealing with them? it’s how are you dealing with them? it's a ve how are you dealing with them? it�*s a very hard task, but an —— fortunately, we have a task to get them out especially those with documents in check, their passports, international passport, of course, russia does not take international recognised digital passport, so they
5:41 pm
deny them from russia. people are also taking to the so—called republic and that is a more insulated society as they have absolutely no laws. so what people are left with is to just wait and see what happens. you are left with is to just wait and see what happens. you getting any kind of information _ see what happens. you getting any kind of information as _ see what happens. you getting any kind of information as to _ see what happens. you getting any kind of information as to why i see what happens. you getting any. kind of information as to why people are forcibly taken across the russian border? irate are forcibly taken across the russian border?— are forcibly taken across the russian border? we can only speculate- — russian border? we can only speculate- i— russian border? we can only speculate. ithink— russian border? we can only speculate. i think it's - russian border? we can only speculate. i think it's pretty. russian border? we can only i speculate. i think it's pretty clear that it speculate. i think it's pretty clear thatitis speculate. i think it's pretty clear that it is a pr campaign for russia to show how generous they are, how much humanitarian help they offer, but it's very important to know that when people are forced into the so—called republic, they earned given held by the local proxy government. they offer citizens of

5:43 pm
we have helped a lot of cancer patients, a lot of families who have disabled family members, a lot of children, we have helped them to internally, within ukraine, find safe spaces that would offer them free help and free medicine. we have also facilitated a lot of financial aid. we offer them these evacuation buses that we pay for ourselves that there is a need for it, as well as tickets. we also offer resources to purchase food for them if they've been left without any financial resources. we been left without any financial resources-— been left without any financial resources. ~ , ., resources. we believe it there. from the organisation _ resources. we believe it there. from the organisation helping _ resources. we believe it there. from the organisation helping to _ resources. we believe it there. from the organisation helping to leave, i the organisation helping to leave, very important work that you are doing. thank you very much indeed forjoining us. thank you. sexual offence victims, are facing the longest waits on record, for their cases to go to court in england and wales.
5:44 pm
it follows a bbc investigation, which found that last year, it took an average of nine months for a case to be concluded. but there are huge regional differences. here's dominic casciani. that decision would come about, however, it didn't happen in that way, and it was a very long drawn out process. police and prosecutors took two years to charge the attacker, taking him to court in the summer of 2019. but existing backlogs meant no trial before the following april, and then the pandemic closed courts. the rapist was only convicted in late summer 2021.
5:45 pm
i think if i hadn't have gone forward and reported it, i would have been able to have brought my mental health round a lot quicker than extending the ordeal and having the additional impacts of a court system and just the lack of understanding of how people feel in that scenario, of building themselves up to be knocked back down again time and time again. national data and the bbc court by court analysis shows lisa's experience is not exceptional. sexual offence complaints take the longest time to get through the courts — a national average of 8.6 months in england and wales. but there's huge variation across the country. leicester crown court have been the longest at 15 months last autumn. overall, the delay for all offences from report to crown court completion is 697 days. criminal barristers say the system is chronically underfunded. they've begun industrial action, refusing to take on some cases to force the government to inject more cash.
5:46 pm
a young junior barrister in the first three years of their practice is earning just over £12,000 a year before tax. a lot of barristers now are working under minimum wage. we're facing a huge exodus of practitioners from the profession. this temporary court, one of many set up during the pandemic, is part of the ministry ofjustice's solution to backlogs. barristers say there aren't enough lawyers to push cases through on time, but ministers predict that their long—term plan, including recording evidence in advance from rape victims, will turn things around. it's very difficult for anyone that's been the victim of rape or serious sexual violence. you recover from the original crime and then you've got to muster the courage and go through the process— to muster the courage and go through the process and absolute —— i'm absolutely committed to making sure that those victims have the support at every step of the way. how much confidence do you have in the system having gone through all of this?
5:47 pm
none. none at all. i would never, you know, god forbid it ever happened again, or to any of my family, i wouldn't promote going through the system and even reporting a crime of this nature any more. dominic casciani, bbc news. we heard from lisa in that report, and we will speak with her now on the phone. thank you so much for joining us. i really appreciate you giving us yourtime, joining us. i really appreciate you giving us your time, lisa. joining us. i really appreciate you giving us yourtime, lisa. ijust want to know, what were you originally told that make you think that the whole process legally would be quicker than it actually was? initially i was informed — actually was? initially i was informed by _ actually was? initially i was informed by the _ actually was? initially i was l informed by the investigating actually was? initially i was - informed by the investigating police officer, that information and evidence will be collected and sent off to cps for a charging decision, at that point i believe i understood the system. he clearly understood the system. he clearly understood the need for a solid case, i remember vividly the excavation of it being like a shopping list. however, because of the way the uk system works, it took an agonising
5:48 pm
length of time, for even the initial charging decision to be made, despite the evidence that was provided. deadlines are given to me, and they were missed over and over again due to the fact that the investigating police officer hadn't received a response at that point. so what where the logjams within the system, do you think, that held everything up?— system, do you think, that held eve hint u? ., ., , .,�* everything up? unfortunately i don't have that knowledge. _ everything up? unfortunately i don't have that knowledge. while - everything up? unfortunately i don't have that knowledge. while i - everything up? unfortunately i don't have that knowledge. while i was i have that knowledge. while i was given was dates that i should've had a report back soon from the investigating police officer, but they hadn't gotten back to them at all. 50 they hadn't gotten back to them at all, , ., they hadn't gotten back to them at all. , ., ., all. so you were given a timeline, ou were all. so you were given a timeline, you were told _ all. so you were given a timeline, you were told about _ all. so you were given a timeline, you were told about the _ all. so you were given a timeline, you were told about the shopping| you were told about the shopping list, you are then given a timeline with dates that perhaps your case would hit. when those dates were missed, what did you do? and what did you try to get out of the authorities in order to explain what was happening? i

5:51 pm
to rebuild yourself, i was desperately trying to find a new normal, but time and time again, like i said, you just get pushed back down. they are trying to muster the courage to go to the court system, and because there is no information sharing at any point, you arejust information sharing at any point, you are just left information sharing at any point, you arejust left in information sharing at any point, you are just left in no man's land. we are going to have to leave it there, lisa, thank you so much for joining us and telling us your story, oursincere joining us and telling us your story, our sincere hope is that at some point this will be resolved for you. thank you. and if you've been affected by any of the issues we have been discussing, there are details of organisations which may be able to help. just go to our website, bbc.co.uk/actionline. or you can call for free, on 0800 077 077. it is 51 minutes to six. a hollywood actorjohnny depp has told the court that the only person he has abused his himself. he is getting evidence in a defamation case and case

5:55 pm
france has opted for the familiar. and last night, emmanuel macron chose the eiffel tower for a victory speech, where he tried not to sound too triumphant. translation: my friends, we will need to be kind and respectful, because our country harbours many doubts and divisions. so we will need to be strong. but nobody will be left by the wayside. it means keeping to the path of a centrist, pro—eu leader, who argues for economic reforms. sylvia voted for macron. it is not my first choice, but in the second round, that is what i want. does france feel divided to you? actually, i work in paris, but i live really far away from here, so i can really see in the little town around, they prefer marine le pen. so it's emmanuel macron for another five years. business as usual? well, not quite. last night, he acknowledged divisions within french society and promised to try and address them, be a "president for all." a nice sentiment, perhaps, but a huge political challenge.
5:56 pm
she wasn't close to winning, but marine le pen secured the far right�*s highest ever share of the vote, and tapped into deep discontent about immigration, rising prices and communities who feel left behind. in her constituency in northern france, these le pen supporters were despondent. translation: i swearl am never going to vote again. _ i don't have much money left, only for going out a little bit. we don't have anything left. macron, he's only there for rich people. i'm really upset. for the next five years, it's going to be a real struggle here in nord—pas—de—calais. also tempering macron's win, the fact that around three million people cast spoilt or blank votes, while turnout was at its lowest since the late �*60s. france has kept its president in place, but the country doesn't quite march on as before. jessica parker, bbc news, in paris.
