that's all from the bbc news at six so it's goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. good evening. here's your latest sports news. rangers and west ham are in semifinal action for the europa league this evening. more on the scottish champions in a moment, but west ham are at home for theirfirst leg tie against eintracht frankfurt later. their opponents knocked out barcelona in the last round. west ham got the better of lyon. for david moyes, getting the fans on board since taking charge has been part of the challenge, but he says he's grateful for the support. i think ithinka i think a lot of them at the start thought this maybe is not quite going to go the way we think, but we have said this is the way it's going to go and this is what we are doing. the positive we are going to change

here and ensuring all come along with us because we need you and we want you to be supporters in everywhere we go. last year, we made europe and going on the european tour and i europe and going on the european tourand i think europe and going on the european tour and i think is that not great that west ham supporters are going to europe? look at the countries we have been this year, we have been all over europe and we are saying this is what we want to do. they will be some clubs he were saying it's only the rope a nothing great, but when you are a team who had been bouncing around and trying to avoid relegation 23 years, it's actually a huge achievement, not only to qualify for europe, but now teresa semifinal of a cup competition. flan semifinal of a cup competition. can ou even semifinal of a cup competition. can you even think about a final? people now in the same what people spoke about semifinal against barcelona and people are now thinking a final for david moyes against rangers in seville would be incredible. i suppose it would be but can you even

afford to spend any time thinking about that? i afford to spend any time thinking about that?— afford to spend any time thinking about that? ., �* ., , .. ., about that? i don't really care who -la at about that? i don't really care who play at the — about that? i don't really care who play at the other— about that? i don't really care who play at the other side _ about that? i don't really care who play at the other side as _ about that? i don't really care who play at the other side as long as i l play at the other side as long as i get in the final, so i think that if you want to be good, you have to start being used two and start feeling this is where we are supposed to be. if we replicate the form that we had across the form in the early part of the season, will be very hard to beat. against anybody. is that we can actually get quite onto that form and get back to that level where we were. so probably the game against lyon and again seville only had the best form and ending about the games have been so good so i hope so. and rangers are also against german opponents. they take on rb leipzig. the bundesliga side reached the semifinals of the champions league last season and are the favourites to win the competition. but rangers will take confidence knowing they knocked another german giant in borussia dortmund in the last round. alasdair lamont reports.

up up to 7000 rangers fans are expert in here in leipzig for a match to have to go down as the club's big is certainly on the european stage in the last ia years back to when they actually reach the final of what was then the ua pick—up in 2008. to reach the final again they would have to overcome a pretty impressive rb leipzig side but to get to this stage, they have had to overcome really good sides already, most notably probably you had to say borussia dortmund, leipzig's german rivals. they are above leipzig in the bundesliga the raiders will take confidence from that type of victory and they have reserved their best performances this season for the european stage. so i had of the game i've caught up with a few of the fans to get their thoughts on how it might go. what would you take right now score line wise? ff} might go. what would you take right now score line wise?— now score line wise? 1-0 loss or an hinu now score line wise? 1-0 loss or anything up _ now score line wise? 1-0 loss or anything up to — now score line wise? 1-0 loss or anything up to 2-0 _ now score line wise? 1-0 loss or anything up to 2-0 but - now score line wise? 1-0 loss or anything up to 2-0 but if - now score line wise? 1-0 loss or anything up to 2-0 but if we - now score line wise? 1-0 loss or anything up to 2-0 but if we geti now score line wise? 1-0 loss or. anything up to 2-0 but if we get a anything up to 2—0 but if we get a draw. i_ anything up to 2—0 but if we get a draw, i think we will put them out

but it is_ draw, i think we will put them out but it is staying there. i draw, i think we will put them out but it is staying there.— but it is staying there. i think he will be to have _ but it is staying there. i think he will be to have been _ but it is staying there. i think he will be to have been one - but it is staying there. i think he - will be to have been one to rangers and than when_ will be to have been one to rangers and then when second leg. - will be to have been one to rangers and then when second leg. i- will be to have been one to rangers and then when second leg. i ialias. will be to have been one to rangers and then when second leg.- and then when second leg. i was a good draw — and then when second leg. i was a good draw and then _ and then when second leg. i was a good draw and then beat - and then when second leg. i was a good draw and then beat them - and then when second leg. i was a good draw and then beat them at| and then when second leg. i was ai good draw and then beat them at i brought season.— good draw and then beat them at i brought season. rangers coming to the name brought season. rangers coming to the game missing _ brought season. rangers coming to the game missing some _ brought season. rangers coming to the game missing some big - brought season. rangers coming to the game missing some big players like alfredo morello does and both will mix the mats to injury, so will the welshman aaron ramsey, brought in on lumped injanuary from juventus, he will not be able to play either. so it is a lot to after coming to this game missing such high profile players but rangers i think the main thing is to try and ensure they are still in the type going back for the second leg at i broxton next thursday. and leicester are in european action tonight, too. their boss brendan rodgers openly admitted he hadn't heard of the europa conference league after getting knocked out of the europa group stages, but he finds himself in the semis against italian giants roma later, who are managed byjose mourinho. leicester have never reached a european semifinal, and they're up for the challenge tonight. it's a fantastic occasion. like you say, it's a top class team,

you know, great manager, that whole combination of being able to get to the final and of course we will be doing everything we can to do that. and again it's another symbol of our growth here as a club. some big football news — only last month, jurgen klopp repeated his intention to quit liverpool and take a break from the game at the end of his contract in 202a, but he has agreed an extension to keep him at anfield until 2026. he says there is still a freshness at the club that energises him. the german managerjoined the club in 2015, and since then has guided them to their first league title in 30 years and also a sixth european crown. his side are still on for an quadruple this season. having already won the league cup, they are in the fa cup final, have one foot in the champions league final and arejust a point behind manchester city in the premier league. the secretary of state for culture

stokes was named as the new permanent captain afterjoe root stepped down following five years in charge, with the team on their worst run since the 1980s. joe wilson reports. the man approaching is the cricketer who stepped back from his sport last year to restore his well—being. the man who is now england captain. it's ben stokes. and, well, he does everything. there was his trial. he was cleared of affray in 2018 after the brawl in bristol. there was his monumental innings to beat australia the following summer at headingley. ben stokes. he was sports personality of the year. stokes is unquestionably england's best all—round cricketer, but is being captain, too, too much? well, here's a man who led england in 32 test matches. originally, i would've said that ben is so important to the team just as a figure, as a presence in that dressing room. i think now there are two things — one he's more mature. i know he's had problems

in the last couple of years, and hopefully we all hope he is through those completely. he's done the job in bits and pieces. he's done it temporarily before. he's captained the one—day side, and he's looked good doing it, so i think and i hope he's ready for it. each cricket generation produces a charismatic all—rounder. ian botham was captain briefly. didn't work. same goes for andrew flintoff. free spirits can be restrained by responsibility. england need ben stokes at his very best. he's got the respect i of the dressing room. he has been a leader in that for the last however- long he's been in it, _ almost coming as a young man, he was someone that people follow. he's not one of these great players who just goes off. and does his own thing. he is someone that is constantly- thinking about the people around him and how he can make them better. |and i think they're alljust great| traits for being a captain, really. to haul england up from rock bottom — after all ben stokes has done, his hardest work starts now. joe wilson, bbc news. the bbc has extended its deal

with the world snooker tour to cover the sport's three major championships until 2027. and at the world championship in sheffield, the 2019 championjudd trump has taken charge against the three—time winner mark williams. trump leads 7—1 after the afternoon session. 17 frames needed to win. the other semifinal starts this evening between the six—time champion ronnie 0'sullivan and four—time winnerjohn higgins. emily scarratt will captain england in the absence of the injured sarah hunter for this weekend's women's six nations grand slam decider in france. scarratt, who won her 100th cap last time out, says she'll be treating the game like a world cup final in front of the sell—out crowd in bayonnes. england have won the last three meetings against the french, but never by more than four points. number eight poppy cleall, a replacement last week, is the only change to the xv, coming into the side for hunter. although she did pick up a calf injury against ireland, she's expected to be fit. that's all from sportsday.

more for you later on with all the updates on the football on the bbc sport website. we will see you soon. let's get more now on ukraine. president zelensky has had talks this afternoon with the un secretary—general, who's in the capital kyiv to see the damage wrought by the russian invasion. in the last hour, president zelensky told journalists there was still a need to establish a special international tribunal to investigate allegations of war crimes. he also said the un security council simply hadn't done enough to back ukraine. translation: we need to use any 0 tion for translation: we need to use any option for the _ translation: we need to use any option for the sake _ translation: we need to use any option for the sake of— translation: we need to use any option for the sake of peace. - translation: we need to use any option for the sake of peace. it's i option for the sake of peace. it's important that the secretary general has had a chance to witness the crimes committed against the ukrainian people in the suburbs of the city of kyiv. he has seen what the city of kyiv. he has seen what the occupying forces have done against our citizens. this is the

true genocide, and it is important to facilitate the establishment of special international tribunal on russian crimes. this was an issue that we have raised today. the un monitoring mission has to continue registering all crimes committed by russia and their military. the truth is that russian invasion into ukraine has brought so many crimes against civilian people, against citizens and cities, that europe has not seen since the end of the second world war. it is important that secretary guterres has raised the issue evacuating incident citizens and so far the rest of them in regards to evacuation was always accompanied by bombardments. and those bombardments took place even the negotiations between president

putin and the un secretary general. ukraine is ready to have immediate negotiations on the evacuation of people from azoff steel as well as to ensure the implementation of any agreements reached. we hope there will be a human attitude to those people on the part of russia and we believe that part of the mission of the un secretary general would be effective and we ready support this in whatever matter possible. the secretary general himself was with president zelensky at that news conference and he said they have in helping millions but want to stop the suffering of the source. ladies and rentle the suffering of the source. ladies and gentle men — the suffering of the source. ladies and gentle men of _ the suffering of the source. ladies and gentle men of the _ the suffering of the source. ladies and gentle men of the press, - the suffering of the source. ladies and gentle men of the press, all l and gentle men of the press, all this work— and gentle men of the press, all this work is— and gentle men of the press, all this work is essential but it does not address the root cause of all the suffering. the war itself. this war must— the suffering. the war itself. this war must end. and peace must be established in line with the charter of the _ established in line with the charter of the united nations and international law. many leaders have

on his visit to ukraine and sent us this from the town of irpin. this is one of the sites where the secretary— this is one of the sites where the secretary general— this is one of the sites where the secretary general was _ this is one of the sites where the secretary general was brought i this is one of the sites where the - secretary general was brought today. this is a residential- complex, irpin, which was hit in the fighting. russian troops occupied this area and other towns close to kyiv - where the fighting was intense, and the un secretary general. was here to see with his own eyes what had happened. . | he also visited the site of a mass| grave in a bucha where the bodies of civilians killed by russian troops were buried. - he said it was important- for the icc to collect evidence of alleged war crimes. i he talked about his own emotions| seeing the damage and destruction and said it was important to urge russia to cooperate _

with the international investigation into what happened here. - it's extremely difficult to know how that can be brought to bear- on moscow when vladimir putin met l with the un chief in moscow this l week and denied any responsibility l for any of what's happened here. i but we've spoken to people in bucha |who've spoken about russian troopsj shooting dead civilians in - the street, so there is a mounting pile of evidence of atrocities . here in these area outside kyiv and the destruction is immense. |along the route that the un chiefj took today, houses are in tatters. there are some signs of life beginning to return, - we saw a market and a demining team i at work but obviously a huge amountl of work to bring any kind of life back to areas devastated - by the fighting. in the last few minutes we are hearing about a couple of large explosions heard in the ukraine

capital kyiv today. no further details on what the cause of these explosions are but the very latest is that there have been two large explosions as the un secretary general as we saw there is visiting the city. that is from the mayor of kyiv, who was told some news agencies about that. that's all we are getting really is too large explosions in the ukrainian capital and we have course will bring you more on that story as and when we get it. presidentjoe biden spoke earlier, and he said he's asked congress for $33 billion to support ukraine, a dramatic escalation of us funding for the war against russia, as well as new legal tools to siphon assets from russian oligarchs. he says it's vital to get the funding approved. despite the disturbing rhetoric coming out of the kremlin, the facts are plain for everybody to see. we are plain for everybody to see. we are not attacking russia. we are helping ukraine defend itself against russian aggression. and just

as putin chose to launch his brutal invasion, he can make the choice to end this brutal invasion. russia is the aggressor, know it's or aunts or buts it, about russia is the aggressor in the world must hold russia accountable. russia's continue assault has yielded a tremendous human cost was that we have seen them leave behind horrifying evidence of their atrocities and war crimes in the areas they try as the assaults and atrocities continue, we are going to continue to supply military assistance. the government in ukraine says more than 500,000 of its civilians have been forcibly deported to russia, including 120,000 children. moscow claims they are willingly moving to russia. our correspondent yogita limaye has been hearing from families of some of those taken captive by russian forces and civilians who've been returned from russia on prisoner exchanges, who all deny those claims by russia. still in disbelief

that he's back home. volodymyr khropun, a red cross volunteer, was deported to russia, captured as he was evacuating people from war hit areas near kyiv. translation: we were beaten j with rifles, punched and kicked. they blindfolded us and tied our hands with tape. they used tasers and kept asking for information about the military. after six days in a crowded basement in ukraine, we were taken to belarus. they thought we couldn't see, but i saw our car crossing the border. he showed us the identity slip made for him there. it's issued by the military of the russian federation. and what does it say on the top? from belarus, he says, they were driven to a russian prison. when we went to the plant, we found

evidence of men being taken. this is the basement at chernobyl, where 169 ukrainian national guard were held for weeks when it was occupied. other staff saw them being taken from here by russian forces as they withdrew from northern ukraine. in a village nearby, we met the family of one of the missing men. we're hiding their identities to protect them. the guard's wife last spoke to him on the 31st of march, just before he was taken. "he told me, �*i am ok physically, but not emotionally.�* i could hear the anxiety in his voice," she said. "our son keeps asking where his father is.

he's very worried, and he's scared that i might disappear, too. so he keeps following me around everywhere." from different parts of ukraine, we've spoken to the families of more than a dozen civilians who have been taken. only a few have been released. most are yet to return. this includes a family of four with two young children, who've managed to contact their relatives here to say they're not being allowed to leave russia. the kremlin says civilians are willingly going across the border. but everything we've heard strongly contradicts those claims. ukraine's prosecutor general, iryna venediktova, says they're hearing testimony of war crimes from the people who've returned. actually we interview everyone who can come back from russian federation or from occupied territories. almost all of them were tortured,

actually, in prison, in russian prisons. and again, we have a case about the departure of children, only children, from the donetsk region to the russian federation, and for me as a prosecutor, it's very important. and as the war rages on in ukraine's east and south, every day there are new reports of people being forced into russia. yogita limaye, bbc news, kyiv. back here, there isjust one back here, there is just one week to go until voters go to the polls. voters in england, wales and scotland will pick who they want to run services that affect everyday life in their local area. those in northern ireland will choose its government. ahead of the vote we will be profiling some of the key contests in the uk's for nations and today looking at england. looks me gopal has been in newcastle underline in staffordshire.

i'm in the auditorium of newcastle college. it is in the north of staffordshire and north of the city of stoke. we have been here all day asking people how they are likely to vote in the local elections next week. the issue raised by many was saving their high street as many felt their town centre was in decline and this is something people who have spent their entire lives in the town have felt as they were looking for how that decline can be reversed. many people also feel that the cost of living is a factor in how they will cast their votes next week. we were in a food bank earlier as one of several food banks in the area that said they have seen an increase in demand. there is also a particularly localised issue to this area which is the issue of noxious emissions coming from a quarry, and it's been a long—standing focus of attention for residents here,

with concerns about the impact of it on their health and actually it's such a key issue that there are some local independent candidates who are standing on that issue alone as a platform. we've also been speaking to some young students who are going to be voting for the first time next week in their first local council elections where they are eligible to vote so let's speak to some of them now. i'll start with you. what are some of the issues that will affect how you vote next week? yes, so one of the biggest issues is obviously the rising cost of living at the moment due to both the pandemic and just general issues at the moment around the world. but also the big issue of getting more people involved at the moment around the world. but also the big issue of getting more people involved in politics and making sure that they feel represented by the people who lead them. do youth are presented by those who lead you? as of now, no, and i think that's a general issue across the country. but you will be voting regardless? yes.

let's ask the same question of you. what are the issues affecting you? i'm concerned about the housing crisis, where i'm going to live after university and also what i'm going to do after university. the lack ofjob prospects of the minute really does concern me and the lack of truth in politics as well in general is something that i feel is affecting voters, so anyone that offers something different will really help. and do you feel that any of the options on the ballot paper will meet your needs? i feel the majority of people do meet my needs, but there is some specific ones that really cater to me. thank you. of course, the local council elections are also often seen as an indicator of how the conservatives and labour perform nationally, and that's a picture that may well become a lot clearer this time injust over a week. and you can find out more about the upcoming local elections in newcastle under lyme council on the 5th of may, including information on how to vote and who your local candidates are, by going to the council website newcastle—staffs.gov.uk.

now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. hello. much of the uk's been stuck under cloud today, and especially for the midlands and northern england, it's felt quite cold. just single figure top temperatures in a few spots here. whereas in some sunshine in north east scotland, up to around 16 degrees. high pressure still here. that gives another mainly dry day tomorrow. weatherfronts, though, approaching for the weekend, so there are some changes on the way. we'll look at that in a moment. some of the cloud that's built today will clear into tonight. keeping quite a bit, though, through eastern parts. northern and eastern scotland and perhaps south east england, the chance of seeing a shower, but most here will stay dry. in terms of frost, well, the blue indicating where there's a chance into the morning, northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england in particular. but overall tomorrow, it's looking like a brighter, sunnier day. still be a lot of cloud across east and south east england that may well take much of the day before we see it clears away and allows some sunshine to come through. but elsewhere, with sunnier skies, it'll feel warmer, up to around 17 degrees in glasgow. central and eastern parts

of scotland just picking up a few showers into the afternoon. now, earlier these showers will fade away on friday evening, then getting into friday night, we see the rain just edging in from the west. and that is connected to that weather system, weatherfronts and rain moving in for the weekend, initially into scotland and northern ireland. some decent rain in places here, and that will move southwards overnight into sunday, will weaken as it does so. so, there's a hint of a little rain in parts of wales and england, but probably not as much as many people would want right now. so, here is the weekend. saturday first, and the rain moving into northern ireland, scotland, heaviest in the west, into parts of northern england, north wales later on. ahead of that, some sunny spells, turning increasingly hazy, and this is where we'll see the day's highest temperatures. as we saw earlier, this system moves south overnight and into sunday. still has some showery rain before petering out on sunday from wales and england. a lot of cloud left behind. some sunny spells developing in scotland and northern ireland. with a chance of a shower, it'll be

a warmer feeling day on sunday. whereas actually by then, in wales and england, it'll feel cooler with the cloudier conditions. now, on monday, a lot of cloud around, a few sunny spells on the bank holiday, you may pick up a shower, most won't. a greater chance of showers on tuesday. before then, as the week goes on, a new area of high pressure moves in, and that means a lot of dry weather again.

hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. the head of the united nations comes to ukraine to see for himself the price paid by civilians during the russian invasion. antonio guterres was shown a mass grave and heard first hand about atrocities committed by russian troops a witness that very vividly today and around kyiv that senseless loss of life and the massive destruction and their loss of war. in the us, joe biden promises to keep helping

ukraine defend itself and from
