good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six — tonight from belfast. the prime minister has hinted he may be prepared to do more to address the rising cost of living but he has dismissed fresh calls for a windfall tax on energy companies. it comes as bp announced it made almost £5 billion in underlying profits for the first quarter of the year — more than double the figure for the same period last year. rising prices and energy bills are expected to be a big issue in the elections across the uk this week, including here in northern ireland where the outcome of the vote could have seismic consequences for the uk. we'll have more on that later. but first, here's our business

editor, simonjack. bp has driven straight into the middle of a political and economic storm is the soaring cost of fuel and energy has emptied the pockets of consumers and filled the coffers of consumers and filled the coffers of those who sell it. bp recorded its highest profits in the decade, adding fuel to the far over whether to introduce a windfall tax to fund help for people who work struggling. hard to determine whether its energy orfood i'm picking so that hard to determine whether its energy or food i'm picking so that is why i need help because you cannot pick one or the other. i need help because you cannot pick one or the other.— one or the other. i used to en'oy auoin to one or the other. i used to en'oy going to the fi one or the other. i used to en'oy going to the beach i one or the other. i used to en'oy going to the beach but i one or the other. i used to en'oy going to the beach but i i one or the other. i used to enjoy going to the beach but i cannot i going to the beach but i cannot afford — going to the beach but i cannot afford not been fuelled now so we 'ust afford not been fuelled now so we just do— afford not been fuelled now so we just do little things like this, sometimes we get the bus instead. the prime — sometimes we get the bus instead. the prime minister said more help was coming but taxing companies making investments was not the answer. ~ . y ., making investments was not the answer. ~ ., making investments was not the answer. ., answer. what you achieve if you take that money away _ answer. what you achieve if you take that money away in _ answer. what you achieve if you take that money away in tax? _ answer. what you achieve if you take

means the opposition parties can say lip what you did a couple of years ago and what you are doing now is inadequate in comparison but the government frets that it cannot do everything. the prime minister saying as much in the past hour in a wide range of interviews conducted with local radio and regional tv. there is concern from the government they are already spending £80 billion —— £80 million a year on our national debt. whatever any government chooses to do, it would be seen by many as not enough. the coming challenge for all parties in the next couple of years is coming up the next couple of years is coming up with a convincing answer to all of this or at least something that resembles a convincing answer. ichris resembles a convincing answer. chris mason, resembles a convincing answer. chris mason. thank — resembles a convincing answer. chris mason, thank you. _ more than 100 people who've been trapped for two months beneath the rubble of a steelworks in eastern ukraine have finally

been brought to safety after they were rescued on sunday. the evacuees have spent weeks without seeing daylight, living in tunnels beneath the steelworks in the besieged city of mariupol. but the ceasefire that allowed them to escape was brief. fierce fighting has begun in mariupol again. and the red cross says there are still an unknown number of people trapped there. 0ur correspondent, laura bicker, watched as the first evacuees finally made it to safety in zaporizhzhia this afternoon. their journey from theirjourney from hell is over. katarina spent weeks in the depths of the azovstal steel plant as a russian bombs pounded at the site. she tat tried to tell her children everything would be ok even when she didn't believe it herself. translation: didn't believe it herself. tuna/mom- didn't believe it herself. translation: ., ., , translation: how we were living was horrible. translation: how we were living was horrible- from — translation: how we were living was horrible. from morning _ translation: how we were living was horrible. from morning until— translation: how we were living was horrible. from morning until night- horrible. from morning until night we were bombarded. artillery, air

ukraine will win. there is genuine gratitude here for britain's support, both military and moral. but there's criticism, too, that had the west been tougher on russia eight years ago when it annexed crimea, this devastating war might never have happened. and today, the prime minister acknowledged that. and the truth is that we were too slow to grasp what was really happening, and we collectively failed to impose the sanctions then that we should

have put on vladimir putin. and we cannot make the same mistake again. but ukraine is paying a huge price. it's when you see all this that you realise just how fierce the fighting was around ukraine's capital and just how close russian troops came to kyiv. and even though they've been forced back from here, this war, with all its destruction, is still far from over. even in kyiv, life is still a long way from normal. but diplomats who were quick to evacuate are now trickling back. we passed, you know, bombed out playgrounds, bombed out schools, hospitals, burned out trees, twisted metal in farmland. so obvious, really, that right from the beginning this was about hitting the ukrainian nation. nowhere says that more clearly than bucha —

smashed and traumatised by a month under russian occupation. today we found a crowd queuing for hand—outs at the church. many here have lost everything. like galina, who says a missile came through her roof and hit her bed. she was next door at the time, feeding the dog. i sang to get through, she tells me. under fire, i ask? she says it calmed her nerves and everyone around her. it takes time to trust the quiet again, that the russian threat won't return to a town that's now a crime scene, revealing stories of horror and their evidence. millions of women across the us could lose their legal right to abortion, according to a leaked document from the supreme court.

a final decision is due by the summer. abortion has been legal right across the united states for almost 50 years. but if that ruling is overturned, individual states would be free to set their own rules, meaning abortion could become illegal in more than 20 states. president biden says he wants to protect the law guaranteeing abortion rights. campaigners have already been protesting outside the court building in washington dc from where our north america editor sarah smith reports. an almost instant reaction with campaigners quickly gathering outside the supreme court, demonstrating a miracle's deeply held views on abortion. from those who say the death of fundamental women's rights and those who believe lives will be saved if the supreme court reverses the controversial right to abortion known as roe versus wade. right to abortion known as roe versus wade-— right to abortion known as roe versus wade. , ., ., ., ., versus wade. they are not going to iet awa versus wade. they are not going to get away with _ versus wade. they are not going to get away with theirs. _

dramatic change in the law has still come as a seismic shock that will be felt throughout american politics. the time is 6.16pm. our top story this evening: as bp announces underlying profits of £5 billion the prime minister says there's more the government can do to help with the rising cost of living. and still to come, we're taking the pulse of the health service here in northern ireland ahead of thursday's elections. coming up in sportsday on the bbc news channel. we'll be live from villarreal as liverpool's march to the champions league final continues as managerjurgen klopp insists they are ready to suffer. on thursday millions of people across the uk will go to the polls for the local elections. but here in northern ireland — more so than anywhere else — the outcome could bring seismic change. for the first time in northern

ireland's 100—year existence, a nationalist party — sinn fein — could become the largest party. and sinn fein's ultimate goal is for northern ireland to leave the uk and become one country with the republic of ireland. but whatever the result this week, there's still uncertainty about whether a power—sharing government will be formed afterwards — because of tensions over brexit and other issues. 0ur ireland correspondent, emma vardy, reports. i have got a message tonight for sinn fein. you will never defeat the protestant people of ulster! never! the dominance of unionism through the decades is now in more jeopardy than ever before. the party opposed to northern ireland's existence may now define its future. but in the race for stormont today, many voters have become tired of the old struggle between those who want to remain part of the uk and those who want a united ireland.

i think we're stuck with green and orange tribalism. we can't continue with what we do because we're going to get exactly what we've always got. power sharing has been collapsed here for nearly as much time as it's been active and the election result could lead to months' more uncertainty. we seem to like crisis politics here and do nothing apart from crisis politics so even if sinn fein are the biggest party, the unionist parties, whatever, need to stand up and take a position and say ok, let's see what we can work with now. the frustrations mean a growing number of people are voting for cross—community parties but the top jobs will still be decided on whether a nationalist or unionist party wins the most seats. we haven't gone away, you know. sinn fein under gerry adams was known as the political wing of the paramilitary group the ira. now, under the leadership of michelle 0'neill,

the party is hoping to claim the first minister's role. it is a big, big thing still here. 0n the shankill road, for unionism a sinn fein victory would be a huge symbolic blow. what would that mean in an area like this? devastation, to be honest, because they want a united ireland which most people don't want. i wouldn't trust them as far as i could throw them. i really wouldn't trust them as far as i could throw them. why does that feeling still linger? i don't know, itjust boils down to my childhood and all too, so it does. for some who lived through the conflict, the memories of paramilitary activity on both sides still shapes the political culture of northern ireland today. if you come in one of the troubles tours of belfast, which is a big tourist attraction now, this is one of the places they will bring you and what it shows is that in some voters' minds it's very difficult to move on from that connection between sinn fein and the violence of the past. butjust minutes away, on the falls road, young sinn fein supporters see

a very different picture. sinn fein are actually putting out a positive message that young people want to hear. it feels like progress for someone like me. i was born in 1997 so obviously i'm opposed to all the guns and explosions and everything so i don't really know that kind of lifestyle, for me it's always been the spirit of cooperation and working together. knock knock. the party's image in some people's eyes has certainly come a long way. their messaging reflects the price of gas to heat the house or the price of diesel. and in this election sinn fein has hardly mentioned a border poll, a referendum on whether northern ireland should leave the uk. how important is that goal of a united ireland? i don't think it's any secret that sinn fein are in favour of a united ireland, that's always part of the goal but in the here and now people need help in their day—to—day lives. the democratic unionist party has said a vote for them is the best way to safeguard the union,

that only they can stop sinn fein winning, but because the dup walked out of the stormont executive in a protest over the brexit arrangements, no—one will be first minister here unless they return, no matter how decisive a result may be delivered. health has also been a very big issue in the election campaign here. northern ireland has the longest hospital waiting lists in the uk with many people having to wait more than two years for an operation. and northern ireland has the highest proportion of its population on waiting lists compared to any other part of the uk. 0ur ireland correspondent chris page reports. hospitals in northern ireland can't get enough people through their doors quickly enough. around one in four adults are waiting for an appointment or to begin treatments. more than half have been on the list for at least a year, but for thousands of them, the wait is a lot longer. john from county tyrone says

he was told six years ago that he needed surgery to remove his gall bladder. every couple of months, i was getting up in the morning and always being sick, bringing up bile and you are being sick the whole day and you ended up going to the hospital and then you were sitting in the hospital for several hours and they say, "it's your gall bladder." but i know it's my gall bladder. how long have you been told you would have to wait for this? that was back in 2020 and that's two and a half years on the list, and that two and a half years must be up by now and it hasn't materialised. waiting times have become the worst in the uk for various reasons. over a number of years now, the devolved government has commissioned several reports about what is causing the problems in the health service. these have suggested that there are too many hospitals in northern ireland given the size of the population, there should be more care in the community and there is an urgent need to train and retain more staff.

reforms have been slowed, even stalled by political instability. there is another huge issue in health care here. northern ireland has a higher rate of mental illness and suicide than england, scotland and wales. this is a showing of a film remembering carl mooney, who took his own life. three of his school friends made it to help raise awareness. there were two main reasons, and the first one was that we wanted to pay tribute to carl's memory, and the second reason was that a lot of people in the younger generation need to know that it is ok to speak. it is absolute vital, mental health, especially for me what with carl passing and everything. it needs to be at the top of the list. i feel like people are - prioritising physical health. it is a priority, obviously, i but i feel that mental health should fall under the same level of priority. _ soon voters will elect politicians to set priorities

in the stormont assembly. fixing the health service may present the most challenging choices. chris page, bbc news, belfast. 0ur ireland correspondent, emma vardy, is here. a big day on thursday. how could pan out after the — a big day on thursday. how could pan out after the elections? _ a big day on thursday. how could pan out after the elections? the - a big day on thursday. how could pan out after the elections? the short - out after the elections? the short answer is we _ out after the elections? the short answer is we could _ out after the elections? the short answer is we could see _ out after the elections? the short answer is we could see stormont| out after the elections? the short i answer is we could see stormont in the same scenario we are in now, so evenif the same scenario we are in now, so even if there is an historic result that's been indicated by the polls, the power—sharing rules mean that the power—sharing rules mean that the first minister, deputy first minister rolls are joint roles, they are equal and you cannot have one without the other in the dup has made it pretty clear that they are not going to be going back into the executive unless their demands around getting changes to the brexit arrangements are met and if there is arrangements are met and if there is a sinn fein victory, there will probably less enthusiasm in the dup for going back in. the most likely picture is we will have a period of

negotiation between the parties that could be quite drawn—out and in the meantime the government will limp along but without being able to take any of the big decisions and if there is no agreement after six months, we could be heading for a whole fresh set of elections, but public patients with this kind of politics is wearing thin and it's something we've seen in the past that long, drawn—out periods without a government can lead to the big parties getting punished at the ballot box. . ., parties getting punished at the ballot box. ., ,, , ., sir billy connolly is to be given this year's bafta fellowship, in honour of a career spanning more than five decades. the comedian and actor, who's 79, will receive the honour at the bafta television awards on sunday. sir billy was diagnosed with parkinson's in 2013. he retired from live performances five years later, but has continued to record programmes and make tv appearances. p&0 ferries have restarted cross—channel sailings for tourists for the first time since sacking nearly 800 workers. the spirit of britain left dover for calais this afternoon.

anfield, just one shot to liverpool's 19. anfield, just one shot to liverpool's19. but here at home it might be different. a very tight ground and vociferous support. liverpool though are firing on all cylinders in their quest for that historic quadruple and aiming to become the first side to become champions of england, conquer europe and win the fa cup and the league cup. liverpool have already played 56 matches as part of the season but speed is one of the hallmarks of their game and we do not expect it to change any time soon. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. well, there has been a lot of cloud around today in northern ireland and elsewhere. this was the scene from our weather watchers in county down but where the cloud broke to reveal sunshine we saw some big, heavy showers and tomorrow more of us should see sunshine and at the same time more of us should see the heavy showers. through the evening and tonight we keep a lot of cloud and it will be misty and murky in places and we will see outbreaks of rain

pushing eastwards and temperatures won't fall too far and it will stay mild underneath the cloud between seven and 11 degrees so tomorrow we start with largely cloudy conditions and may be a bit more in the way of wet weather than we had this morning and the rain will push east and we will see something bright to develop from the west but as the sun comes out, the showers will develop, especially through the afternoon through eastern scotland, northern and eastern england into the midlands and some of them are heavy, some of them thundery and there will be dry gaps in between and as always some places will get a drenching and others will avoid them and stay pretty much dry and with the extra brightness it will be warmer tomorrow with temperatures between 14 tomorrow with temperatures between 1a and 17 degrees. as we move to thursday bc high pressure building to the south and frontal systems up to the south and frontal systems up to the south and frontal systems up to the north—west where we have the chance for some outbreaks of rain but this is a weather setup that will deliver south—westerly winds and some warm air so temperatures will climb on thursday, particularly across england and wales where we

will see spells of sunshine, more cloud in some splashes of rain for northern ireland and scotland and the highest temperatures down towards the south, 21, may be up to 22 degrees. friday will be warm in the south with a bit of rain further north and west and then the weekend looks mainly fine and dry with some sunshine and temperatures up to 21 degrees. 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.
