hello there and a very warm welcome to the programme. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky has said a russian missile attack on ukraine's capital, during a visit by the un secretary—general, illustrates russia's contempt for global institutions. mr zelensky said the strikes on kyiv showed that civilians in ukrainian cities could not relax. gareth barlow reports. missile strikes in the centre of kyiv, a first for two weeks. two russian rockets struck a 25 story building, close to where the head of the un was staying during a visit to the country. several people were left injured by the attack. i was shocked to _ injured by the attack. i was shocked to be _ injured by the attack. i was shocked to be informed - injured by the attack. i wasl shocked to be informed that injured by the attack. 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. the sales struck _ solution for this war. the sales struckjust - solution for this war. the sales struckjust hours i solution for this war. the sales struckjust hours after the un secretary general

as president putin increasingly warns the west to back off, it seems nato's warning could easily prove to be true. maria avdeeva is a a security analyst and research director for a ukrainian think tank, and joins us now from kharkiv. good to see you again. maria, you were involved in an attack. if you feel comfortable doing so, would you be able to tell us more about what happened? yes, sure, good morning. we were with one of the international team of reporters covering the emergency services because they are doing just tremendous work under the constant shelling here in kharkiv and they save people and go and take those who are winded after the shelling, so we wanted to make this report about their work and they've got a call on a large residential area to the north

of kharkiv under constant bombardment for more than two months, so every day there will be someone there who would be wounded or killed because of the russian shelling, so they received that call, we went to get the patient from the area and when we were on the spot, what happened was, it is called double tap attack, it means that the russian troops shall the building, then they run sometime about 20, 30 minutes until the emergency team comes and then they had the same area again, so that more people will be injured or wounded or more people will be killed. so when we arrived probably one, two minutes, another air attack by rocket systems started, so all the team started running into the team started running into the building to find some coverage there and we were hiding under the staircase and

at that moment when we were running there, i slept and got both of my hands cut of the glass because all the windows in the building were broken and so when ice slept a actually cut my hands with the glass, but then the dock was there so he helped me to stop the bleeding and then we were in the building and at the moment we were inside probably 15 metres from us another rocket hit the same building and everything was shaking, everything was shaking, everything was shaking, everything was falling from the outside and actually the ambulance itself that was standing outside was hit. the window was broken, the defibrillator was broken as well, and after that these heroic medics, they actually managed to take the wounded man

out of the building and bring him to the hospital. i out of the building and bring him to the hospital.- him to the hospital. i am so sorry you — him to the hospital. i am so sorry you had _ him to the hospital. i am so sorry you had to _ him to the hospital. i am so sorry you had to go - him to the hospital. i am so sorry you had to go through j sorry you had to go through that, that sounds absolutely appalling. and you were extremely lucky, as you say, that you were there with dock as. i was wondering is your capacity and a security analyst, you could tell our viewers just how common these double tap attacks are, that they wait for people to come and help before attacking again. and help before attacking aaain. , ., , and help before attacking aaain. , ., , again. yes, that is what they do and that _ again. yes, that is what they do and that is _ again. yes, that is what they do and that is what - again. yes, that is what they do and that is what happens| again. yes, that is what they . do and that is what happens and what is most dangerous because when we now do another report of coverage of such stories, what the emergency services do, it is always a big risk because when people come to rescue others, it is not the only occasion, it happens regularly, then the new attack will come and so everyone who is there helping people all is putting themselves on a great risk

because they might be killed just there on the spot helping others and i have talked to the main doctor who is in charge of the ambulances here in kharkiv, so before they had 250 cars and now 50 of them are broken or out of order because they constantly got under the shelling and he was showing me the huge holes because of the shrapnel that actually hit all the time these ambulances when they arrive on the spot in the same situation is with the emergency workers because they regularly got killed and when they arrive, the same situation might happen and recently two of them here in kharkiv were killed just because they were de— mining the territory and an

about what is going to be of me and there is a chance i might have to go back to one of these makeshift hospitals again, so i am just waiting. i personally could not really see the logic of placing thousands of people into one space and hoping that they would get better with time instead of maybe leaving them at home to recover. actually, last night, there was an organised event at 8pm where everybody was just standing outside of their windows or their balconies and just making noise with pots and pans to just show their — i guess — disappointment and struggle in terms of finding food and getting food, and there is a lot of — ifeel there is a lot of unhappiness around the city and the situation is not really 0k. it feels like it is slightly

mark savage, bbc news. and that is how you and a package. thanks, mark. we will talk about pop—up many airports coming to a neighbourhood near you. 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, but we could see 17 or 18 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.
