carried out by russian troops. our correspondent sarah rainsford sent this report. and a warning, it does contain some distressing details. it was like a message from moscow — the first missile strike on kyiv in two weeks. a residential building was hit here and civilians wounded, right when the un chief was in town. earlier, antonio guterres had been on the edge of kyiv witnessing the destruction there from russia's war. it is breathtaking. in irpin, there are ruins everywhere you turn. ukrainian families came under fire here in their own homes. antonio guterres was taken to bucha, too, a name that's now synonymous with massacre. when russian troops occupied this town, locals dug a mass grave in the churchyard for civilians shot in the streets. mr guterres called war

"evil" and "absurd". i am glad that international criminal court sees the situation, that the prosecutor's office was already here. i fully support the international criminal court and i appeal to the russian federation to accept to cooperate. he got a warm welcome at the presidential palace. volodymyr zelensky had been annoyed mr guterres went to moscow first, when vladimir putin won't accept any talk of russian atrocities, but it seems the un could report progress on helping the last people trapped in mariupol. translation: we dedicated much of our time to this issue, and like the relatives of those trapped at azovstal, we will have a successful result bringing people back alive. in bucha, the morgue is still receiving bodies exhumed from shallow graves, gathering ever more evidence of war crimes.

some of the dead here are just numbers for now, still waiting to be identified. and people are still searching databases for their loved ones a month after russian forces suddenly withdrew. grigori just found his son. he tells me, "vlodymir was shot, then burned. "only his bones are left to bury." at the town cemetery, liudmyla described how her husband was killed with a single shot to the head. she still has his hat with the bullet holes. valieri had just come out of their bomb shelter to make a phone call. at last, liudmyla can give him a proper burial in the graveyard, not their garden. in bucha alone, more than 400

civilians were killed. translation: they should be prosecuted, they have to be, but who knows? putin should be first and his band of war criminals. this has happened because no—one punished russia sooner and russia corrupted the whole world with its oil and its money. there are already so many personal tragedies in ukraine, in a war that russia launched and shows no sign it's ready to stop. sarah rainsford, bbc news, bucha. speaking to the bbc, the un secretary general expressed shock that two missiles struck the ukrainian capital while he was visiting. i'm in kyiv. today, two rockets have exploded in kyiv. i was shocked to be informed that two rockets had exploded in the city where i am, so this is a dramatic war

and we absolutely need to end this war and we absolutely need to have a solution for this war. in extra funding for ukraine. he said the money was designed to defend ukraine, rather than attack russia. today, in order to sustain ukraine, as it continues to fight, i am sending congress a supplemental budget request that will keep weapons and ammunition flowing without interruption to the brave ukrainian fighters and continue delivering economic and humanitarian assistance to the ukrainian people. earlier, i spoke to former pentagon official elbridge colby and asked him how these funds will be used. it is for a wide variety of purposes, a lot of it is directly for ukraine, macroeconomic assistance, direct weapons assistance, humanitarian assistance, but there is also quite a lot for backfilling depleted us munitions, and other weapons

stores and a range of other activities but essentially around whether directly or indirectly supporting ukraine or compensating areas of the us government coffers that have been depleted a bit by support thus far. you mentioned depleted munitions. what will this money mean to ukraine? how significant is it? i think it is going to be very significant. there is direct provision of military equipment of various kinds we've seen ranging from howitzers to spare parts. there's also provisions for support to intelligence and other sort of information work so i think that will be very material but it's also important for the united states itself because there has been some reporting around how we have gone through a lot of say ourjavelin and stinger stockpiles and how it is going to take us quite a bit of time and resources to restore and fill those back up so i think that is also part of the story here. russia has repeatedly warned western nations of not getting involved in the conflict.

president biden says this is not about attacking russia, this is not about united states involvement, this is about supporting ukrainian defences. russia likely won't see it that way, what is your analysis? i think actually the president is basically right here which is the right approach is not a direct military intervention or involvement by the united states or other nato allies but robust and sustained support for the ukrainians in their self defence effort and that strategy is working but as you say the russians are trying to push back and are sending pretty strong signals that they may be prepared to escalate. we're not sure, it could be loose talk but the russians do have the capacity so i think we do need to take it seriously, but i think this is basically the right course which is support for ukraine without direct military intervention. the president suggested that the us taxpayer need not foot all of the bill for this and that some of the money could come from oligarchs who have been sanctioned by the us. do we know any more about how that might work? they have seized a few yachts, i don't think that is going to turn the tides but

certainly seems justified. i think more material will be support from countries like germany, there was a big movement in the bundestag earlier towards support for ukraine. it is not only the united states, countries around the world as well, particularly in europe, so that is going to be critical. president biden also made comments about increasing russian rhetoric about the use of nuclear weapons. is that a threat we need to be seriously concerned about? absolutely. i do think we need to be seriously concerned about it, in fact the front page of the new york times today had a piece by two very well sourced journalists in the us and europe pointing out that there is a dynamic in the american administration, almost like a getting carried away effect and i think this is very dangerous because we need to thread this needle between robustly supporting the ukrainians but without becoming directly involved in the russians do have a lot of ways of making us all hurt quite a lot. doesn't mean that we should

just back down and do whatever putin says, of course, to the contrary, but we cannot just wish this away. he has 5000 nuclear weapons or more, they are very modern and there is very little we can do to defend ourselves about that. let's get some of the day's other news. three of the main covid vaccine manufacturers have seen off a shareholder—led attempt to get the to release data on ho they make theirjabs. some pfizer, johnson &johnson, and moderna investors had argued that sharing this intellectual property would speed up the rollout of vaccines by boosting manufacturing. one third of the global population has yet to receive a first covid vaccine shot. the oklahoma legislature has approved an abortion ban that prohibits the procedure after about six weeks of pregnancy. republican—led states have been passing ever stricter abortion bans, expecting a forthcoming supreme court decision that could alter or reverse roe versus wade. governor kevin stitt said he will sign any anti—abortion legislation that

for is something it calls "societal zero covid", so no cases are springing up outside of quarantine centres, outside of places where people already identified are being contained. it has been brutal, though, for many people. tens of thousands taken off to quarantine centres, many of them 100 miles or more away from shanghai, and kept in varying conditions. alessandro pavanello lives in shanghai. hejoins us now. a very good morning to you there in shanghai. just tell us — you spent several days in isolation in the city. what was that like? ~ , , ., that like? well, i spent almost three, that like? well, i spent almost three. no. _ that like? well, i spent almost three, no, almost— that like? well, i spent almost three, no, almost two - that like? well, i spent almost three, no, almost two weeks l that like? well, i spent almost| three, no, almost two weeks in isolation in my home at first but then i tested positive for

covid—i9 surge centre went to a makeshift hospital. i was taken back home again, however, one of my latest results is positive again from the 22nd of april, so there is a bit of confusion and there is a chance i might have to go back to one of these makeshift hospitals again so i am just waiting. find again so i am 'ust waiting. and what of those— again so i am just waiting. and what of those hospitals like? in my case it was an expo centre. almost 1000 people were inside their and there are cubicles where they put in bed space and we are all in close contact with each other. there is no privacy- _ contact with each other. there is no privacy. whites - contact with each other. there is no privacy. whites are - contact with each other. there is no privacy. whites are kept| is no privacy. whites are kept on 24/7 and there are sinks where you can wash up. itjust proved to be a very stressful experience. it did have, not just me but many other people, and impact on their

psychological well being, on their mental and i personally could not really see the logic of facing thousands of people into one space and hoping that they would get better with time instead of leaving them home to recover. ., ., ., recover. you are not in isolation _ recover. you are not in isolation anymore, - recover. you are not in - isolation anymore, pending, of course, what happens with the latest test of yours, but the city is still very much under lockdown. how easy is it to go about everyday life, food, groceries, exercise? to me specifically. _ groceries, exercise? to me specifically. it _ groceries, exercise? to me specifically, it has - groceries, exercise? to me specifically, it has been - groceries, exercise? to me| specifically, it has been 0k. specifically, it has been ok. we have had a few government rations coming in, so some vegetables and milk, but we have also managed to buy a few things online because i think the area where we live is much better served in terms of the delivery forces. i know a lot of people that are struggling right now, and they are finding it really hard to get food to come to their homes. actually, last night, there was an organised event at 8pm where

everybody was just standing outside of their windows or the buccaneers and just making noise with pots and pans to just show that — i guess — disappointment and struggle in terms of finding food and getting food, and there is a lot of — i feel there is a lot of unhappiness around the city and the situation is not really 0k. it feels like it is likely getting better, but at the same time, i personally cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel and i think a lot of people are feeling that way as well. nearly half of shanghai residents are living in low—risk areas. does that give you some kind of hope that there might be light at the end of the tunnel? for there might be light at the end of the tunnel?— of the tunnel? for me specifically _ of the tunnel? for me specifically know - of the tunnel? for me i specifically know because of the tunnel? for me - specifically know because my case is very particular. i tested positive on 22 april and they haven't been telling me anything yet so i don't know what's going to be of me, i don't know if i'm going to a makeshift hospital or if i'll

stay home for a prolonged period of time. at the same time, there have been a couple of new cases in my compound and what that means is that automatically the whole compound gets locked down for an additional 14 days. you can imagine if there is another case in seven days in my compound there'll be an additional 14 days from the days of that's why i can't really see the light at the end of the tunnel. i do agree and know the situation is getting fairly better in some parts of town, that's true. it depends where you live, i guess. we will leave — where you live, i guess. we will leave it _ where you live, i guess. we will leave it there. - where you live, i guess. we will leave it there. we wish you all the best and thank you forjoining us.— stay with us on bbc world news. still to come: a new report says abuses of baby milk formula are using unethical marketing practices. we will get the details. nothing, it seemed, was too big to withstand

the force of the tornado. the extent of the devastation will lead to renewed calls for government to help to build better housing. internationally, there have already been protests. sweden says it received no warning of the accident. indeed, the russians at first denied anything had gone wrong. only when radioactivity levels began to increase outside russia were they forced to admit the accident. for the mujahideen, the mood here is . of great celebration. this is the end of- a 12—year war for them. they've taken the capital, which they've been fighting for for so long _ it was seven o'clock in the morning on the day when power began to pass from the minority to the majority, when africa, after 300 years, reclaimed its last white colony.

hello. you are watching bbc world news. the latest headlines, and missiles strike the ukrainian capital, kyiv, just as the un secretary general is on a visit for talks with president zelensky. president biden asks congress for $33 billion in extra support for ukraine. a new report by the world health organization has criticised the baby milk industry for using social media accounts to target new mums. the who says companies are breaching an internationally agreed code around the marketing of formula milk, which stretches back to 1981. the report found that formula firm advertising reached three times as many people as government bodies offering advice over breastfeeding. according to the latest data only 44% of children under six months of age are exclusively breastfed and 56% stop before they reach the age of two. the who claim that digital marketing is key. in some countries, more than 80% of exposure to breast

milk substitutes advertisements occurs online. collectively, the accounts breast milk substitutes the un monitored posted content around 90 times per day and reached 229 million users. rafael perez—escamilla is a professor of epidemiology at the yale school of public health. he gave me his reaction to the findings in the report. it is a big concern, because they are being targeted at a very vulnerable time regarding their ability to make informed infant—feeding decisions, and they are targeting them with adverts that oftentimes are not substantiated by scientific evidence, trying to equate the baby milk formula with the benefits of breast—feeding,

and thousands and thousands of stories are really telling us that this is a very broad message to give because nothing compares with the health and child development benefits, and the benefits that breast—feeding offers to women's health as well. you are a professor of public health. why is breast—feeding so important? what are the key benefits? breast—feeding, you can think about it as the maximum expression of personalised medicine. by mother's nature. the composition of human milk regarding nutrients, regarding bioactive substances that bolster the immune system of the baby and that allow the baby to establish a very healthy microflora usually for the rest of her or his life, is something that is very unique

to the needs and the environment where each baby is actually growing. what would you like to see done to tackle some of this advertising that this report is unhappy with? i think that because it is done online and it is personalised, it is very, very difficult to monitor and regulate as it can be done when the adverts go on traditional mass media such as tv, newspapers and so on. so i think that the best thing to do is to actually educate the mothers, the families and for them to really understand the rights to be protected and to challenge anyone, even if it is your healthcare providers that are trying to actually teach in an unethical way, baby milk formula

instead of breast—feeding. the report did not name specific companies, painting the problem as an industry—wide issue. but nestle, one of the biggest, did give us this statement. they say: here in the uk, a senior minister, the attorney—general suella braverman, has described the behaviour of a small minority of men in british parliament as like animals after it was claimed that an unnamed conservative mp had been caught watching pornography while in the house of commons chamber. ms braverman also said if the allegation is found to be true, the culprit should lose their position in parliament. here's our political correspondent, chris mason. parliament is being renovated

and never—ending building sites, scaffolding and hard hats but what about the culture inside? does that need modernising as well? today, a cabinet minister told us about some of the men she works with. there are some bad apples who are out of order who act like animals and are bringing parliament into disrepute. i don't think we are saying it is a pervasive culture, that's not my experience. there are certain individuals behaving in an unacceptable way. the prime minister added it was obviously unacceptable for an mp to watch pornography while here in the house of commons, a claim made by a minister about a fellow unnamed conservative mp. the government is now suggesting it's being investigated by the independent complaints process. labour say: i think it's very good we have an independent system and it requires anonymity. this is an unusual case because the tory party knows who the individual is. i think they should deal with it and

sooner rather than later and take appropriate action. ministers have promised appropriate action once an investigation is finished. meanwhile, it was said it was deeply concerning that an mp who wants to remain anonymous has alleged a member of the shadow cabinet has described her as a secret weapon because women want to be herfriend and men want to sleep with her. let's be blunt. this is a strange workplace. who is an mp�*s boss? ultimately it is you, voters, but what does this may between elections? the current complaint system was set up four years ago following criticisms about claims of sexual harassment by mps were dealt with. we need to bring people to account. we need to protect staff and other members of parliament so that have an independent complaints process, but it needs to be seen to operate at pace. and yet loads of people here say investigations take ages, denying alleged victims and perpetrators answers and justice.

and there is a broader point here that the reputation of politics is dragged into the gutter. scotland's first minister said that has consequences. we rue the day we make it more difficult and less attractive for women to come forward for election to public office. it is time to draw a line in the sand. it is time for men, not all men are misogynist but it comes from men and they need to change. for plenty, that change is not happening anywhere nearfast enough. chris mason, bbc news. before we go we had a special visitors at the bbc headquarters, broadcasting housein headquarters, broadcasting house in london. the prince of wales and duchess of cornwall came to broadcasting house to meet staff to mark the 90th anniversary of the bbc world service, learning how we maintain operations in particular across ukraine,

russia and afghanistan, providing reporting from on the ground to cover the conflicts. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @richpreston. from all of us in london, goodbye for now. hello there. the month of april has been an exceptionally dry month up and down the country. that's because we've had high pressure dominating the weather scene. now, as we head into the may bank holiday, it looks like this area of low pressure will bring some rainfall, some of it heavy across the north—west. as it spreads south across the uk, it will tend to weaken. but high pressure will bringing another fine day for friday. a chilly start, mind you, across northern and western areas. plenty of sunshine here. again, more cloud for east and south—east england and north—east scotland. here, we'll see a few showers into the afternoon, the odd one across the far south—east. and temperatures will reach highs around the mid—teens for many of us, through the central belt of scotland. 0ur winds will be light but still fresh through the channel.

now, as we head through friday night, under largely clear skies, certainly for england and wales, it'll turn quite chilly. but we'll start to see the first signs of that area of low pressure pushing into the north—west, so here, less cold as the cloud and the breeze starts to pick up. but a touch of frost across parts of england and wales. so for the weekend, it's quite a different feel. we will see this rain pushing its way southwards and eastwards. like i mentioned, it will be weakening somewhat. so into saturday, high pressure holds on again for much of england and wales. low pressure will start to pile into scotland and northern ireland, so here, it will be turning breezier and quite wet. some moderate bursts of rain across the north and the west of scotland. after that chilly start, though, england and wales will see another fine day with quite a bit of sunshine around, though cloud will tend to thicken across northern and western areas. so where we have the rain, then, that'll impact the temperatures, the low teens. quite a warm day to come for england and wales where we have all that sunshine. now, as we head through saturday night, that area of cloud and rain in the north begins to push its way southwards into much of england and wales, but it will be a weakening feature and conditions will dry up

across the far north of scotland. but we hold onto a lot of cloud, so saturday night will be a milder one across the board. sunday promises to be a rather cloudy day, quite damp for parts of england and wales. the rain at this stage will be quite light and patchy, some drizzly rain. but the northern half of the country will see the driest of the conditions on sunday, so it's a reversal of fortunes and a bit of sunshine. we could make 16, 17 degrees. a little bit fresher further south because we'll have the thickest of the cloud. bank holiday monday looks a little bit drier. there could be a little bit of rain at times on tuesday. generally, it's a dry week next week, and there are just hints of it turning a little bit warmer across the south by friday.
