champions league final — it's the club's third champions league final in five years. good morning. parts of the ukrainian city of lviv, close to the polish border, are without power and water after the first russian missile strikes in the west of the country in more than a week. moscow's missiles struck three power stations, causing blackouts and leaving many without power or water. elsewhere, in the south—eastern city of mariupol, the steelworks is facing intense shelling, where 200 people remain in hiding underneath the plant. the donetsk region is also being bombarded. officials say 21 people were killed

— the highest daily death toll since the attack on the railway station kramatosk. in the last hour, the european union announced a ban on all russian oil by the end of this year, in its latest round of economic sanctions. our first report is from mark lobel. after a week's lull, the return of russian missiles, targeting ukraine's west. in lviv, at least three pounded power stations around the city in what was thought to be an attack on ukraine's rail network, a crucial supply line taking western weaponry to the east. lviv's mayor says electricity was cut off in a few districts, and some parts are without water with outages at several medicalfacilities. in the south, the relentless attack on mariupol�*s steel plant continues, an industrial heartland with its heart ripped out.

a ukrainian military commander says, as part of that assault, russians are attempting to land soldiers by boat. one of the 100,000 residents stuck nearby remains helpless. i don't know where to go at all. i am not alone. imagine — everything is destroyed. i've got nowhere to go. a brief ceasefire had allowed some to escape the steelworks after two months of what must have been their darkest days. how we were living... to be honest, it was horrible. from morning until night, we were bombarded. we lived in hope that every day. would be the last day in this hell, that we would go home to a peaceful mariupol. i but now it is non—existent. the operation to free these women and children has been full of false dawns. now, finally, a chance

to step into the light. translation: today, 156 people arrived in zaporizhia. _ women and children. they were in bunkers for more than two months. without a doubt, we'll continue doing everything we can to get all our people out of mariupol. out of azovstal. it's hard, but we need everyone. civilian and military. the search for justice also continues. ukraine's prosecutors say the first russian servicemen expected of being involved in the murders of hundreds of civilians here in the town of bucha has been identified. —— serviceman suspected. but the daily misery for many continues, whether trapped targeted or living in terror. mark lobel, bbc news. as fighting intensifies in the east of ukraine, the country s armed forces are increasing their efforts to train volunteers. many of them have never picked up a gun in their lives.

ben brown has been to meet some volunteers training in kyiv. even if you've never picked up a gun in your life, your country needs you. that's the message to ukrainians of all ages. in a disused factory somewhere in the capital, kyiv, it's time for target practice for the men and women of a battalion of volunteers. very soon they'll be heading to the front line, where they'll be desperately needed reinforcements. juliana was a horse trainer before the war. herfriend, alexandra, was a tattooist. in a matter of days, they could be facing the russian army. if i pick up a gun here for the first time and i'm doing well. i learned shooting here, and i have hit a bull's eye.

i have the support of my family, and that helps me because we must all stick together. we must protect ourselves and our country. and that's what motivates me. the guys who come back from the frontline say we are the good guys. we fight and they retreat. and that motivated me. i want to help them even more. their commanders say what they lack in experience they make up for with their motivation. why it's important? because it is our motherland. we are free people and we are not slaves and ukrainians never going to become slaves. we prefer die. and you think you can win this war? yes. we're going to win this war. this unit says around 20% of its volunteers come from all around the world, places like the united states,

the uk, canada, colombia, brazil, argentina and former soviet republics like georgia and latvia. countries that feel profoundly threatened by moscow. with russia's offensive in the east of this country intensifying, ukraine needs to get reinforcements to the front line as soon as possible, however raw the recruits may be. there's no time to lose. ben brown, bbc news, kyiv. and just to let you know, tomorrow my colleague ben brown will be answering your your questions on the war in ukraine, live from kyiv. you can get in touch on twitter using the hashtag bbc your questions — and you can email us on yourquestions@bbc.co.uk

a bbc news investigation into the government's homes for ukraine scheme has found that some would—be hosts with a reported history of violence are trying to exploit the system. they've been making contact with women fleeing the russian invasion to arrange possible placements, using refugee support groups on facebook. the bbc also found that some ukrainians have been placed in unsuitable and unsanitary housing. we can talk now to robina qureshi, chief executive of positive action in housing which pioneered the room for refugees scheme in 2002 — a network which matches refugees with hosts. thank you forjoining us. first, what do you make of these findings? you're not surprised, i gather? m0. you're not surprised, i gather? no,

we are shocked _ you're not surprised, i gather? iirr, we are shocked that even basic checks are not detecting that a single man offering a room to a single man offering a room to a single woman has not been picked up, these basic checks are done when you are hosting refugees, it is a very nuanced process, and the first red flag would be wary single man is offering a room only tracing a woman. we decide who goes where. —— only to a single woman. we would do a variety of different checks. the problem started at the beginning when michael gove had encouraged people to find each other for refugees to find sponsors, that made that ukrainian refugees and potential sponsors were mingling alongside those who want intelligence for human trafficking on social media ad tens of thousands went on social media to find each other and that includes children as young as 14 travelling alone because

their parents wanted them out of the war. , , ., , war. just to remind viewers, there has been a — war. just to remind viewers, there has been a government _ war. just to remind viewers, there i has been a government statement war. just to remind viewers, there - has been a government statement put out on this, they themselves refer to it as six for rent —— six width around. they say they have designed the scheme specifically to have safeguards in place and, including robust security and background checks on all sponsors. you mentioned the cheque, does it... does it look deep enough into a person's background? it is falling down when _ person's background? it is falling down when a _ person's background? it is falling down when a single _ person's background? it is falling down when a single man - person's background? it is falling down when a single man is - person's background? it is falling l down when a single man is offering person's background? it is falling - down when a single man is offering a view to a single woman or vice versa, it isjust view to a single woman or vice versa, it is just not a safe arrangement. everything you do with refugee hosting is to drive down risk and so the hosting network is deciding who gets selected, so we will select from a pool of house and we contact the host, we decide who goes where and select from that

pool goes where and select from that pool, who will be matched to a potential refugee. that's what we have been doing with over 1000 ukrainian refugees inside ukraine or on the border. it is notjust the danger of the scheme itself that we concerned about, which was pointed out days after the scheme was launched, but the visa delays mean that people who are in mariupol and kyiv who we are in touch with our no longer in touch with us and we can only assume the worst because they have not managed to get their visas or haven't been in touch because they were under bombardment and the time. i they were under bombardment and the time. . ., ., “ they were under bombardment and the time. . ., ., ~ ., , time. i am looking to “ump in here, double be men h time. i am looking to “ump in here, double be men out_ time. i am looking tojump in here, double be men out there _ time. i am looking tojump in here, double be men out there who - time. i am looking tojump in here, double be men out there who are l double be men out there who are single and would say, i do not want this labour that i am a potential abuser —— this label, i am trying genuinely to help. what are you saying? it is better safe than sorry and the governor's redline should be we should not and with the single

don't do that, you have to have controls in place, that is what this network is about and has successfully and safely be doing for the last 22 years.— the last 22 years. finally, if refugees — the last 22 years. finally, if refugees are _ the last 22 years. finally, if refugees are here - the last 22 years. finally, if refugees are here at - the last 22 years. finally, if refugees are here at have l the last 22 years. finally, if - refugees are here at have found themselves in that situation and what to leave and change sponsors, where did they start? == what to leave and change sponsors, where did they start?— where did they start? -- want to leave. where did they start? -- want to leave- the _ where did they start? -- want to leave. the government - where did they start? -- want to leave. the government should i where did they start? -- want to - leave. the government should not be forcing peeple — leave. the government should not be forcing people to _ leave. the government should not be forcing people to stay, a _ leave. the government should not be forcing people to stay, a comment. forcing people to stay, a comment made was that people must stay with their sponsor, villa a lot of questions we are getting off refugee saying, rare questions we are getting off refugee sa in: , ., questions we are getting off refugee sa inc, . questions we are getting off refugee sa in, . ,, , saying, we are saying consistently, ou do not saying, we are saying consistently, you do not stay. — saying, we are saying consistently, you do not stay, as _ saying, we are saying consistently, you do not stay, as you _ saying, we are saying consistently, you do not stay, as you contact - saying, we are saying consistently, you do not stay, as you contact the police and you make contact with the relevant agencies, that has to be teased out by the local authorities, for another placement. these things are nuanced and things sometimes don't work out and you do have to move people to another household and this is all part and parcel of the

and i could see three points of smoke, one over there, one there, at one end that direction. what had happened is a series of russian missiles had come in, targeting electricity substations. the impact for the city was a loss of power in parts, some parts of the water supply were damaged, but we understand the intention of the russians was to take on the real network. they put out a statement saying they targeted six train stations, cannot confirm the number, but they say they were trying to stop the flow of weapons coming into ukraine, we are currently seeing large amounts of heavy weaponry given by the us, uk and eu nations coming into help the ukrainian war effort, that comes in on rail lines, it travels often through places like lviv and in the front in the donbas, and in the russians say they were trying to stop that flow of weapons. isn't lviv one of these transition points that we —— were being used by ukrainians to leave the country?

absolutely, it is worth pointing out that while the russians say they are —— their intention was to stop weapons coming in, a consequence is going to make it harderfor people trying to leave the country. with pointing out that 13 million people are internally displaced, half of them have left the country, a lot of people finding refuge in places like lviv, a lot of people traumatised by the war elsewhere who will be staying here. whatever the russians say the intention was, the consequences of this attack will be far ranging and affect ordinary people here. far ranging and affect ordinary people here-— the european commission president, ursula von der leyen, has outlined the latest round of sanctions against moscow, including a ban on russian oil imports by the end of this year. she said the aim was to put the maximum pressure on russia, while minimising the disruption to the eu and global energy markets.

today we will propose to ban all russian oil from europe. this will be... applause. this will be a complete import ban on all russian oil, seaborne and pipeline, crude and refined. we will make sure that we phase out russian oil in an orderly fashion, so in a way that allows us and our partners to secure alternative supply routes and at the same time be very careful that we minimise the impact on the global market, and this is why we will phase out russian supply of crude oil within six months and refined products by the end of the year. let's talk to our correspondent bethany bell. does this indicate there is a

general consensus now within the eu? it certainly looks much more like it. it is interesting, in her comments today she spoke about how some countries in the eu are very heavily dependent on russian oil and how painful that would be for them. those countries like hungary and and hungary up to now has said very much it would be against any kind of energy sanctions, but what we understand, and ursula von der leyen did not mention this, that there could be some kind of exemption for hungary and slovakia, which would allow them to agree to this wider package of sanctions, but we are waiting to hear more details about that. a possible exception could be that. a possible exception could be that they wouldn't need to take part in this oil embargo for a couple of years. but we don't have the details

jeremy corbyn was the labour leader. we were still in the eu and few of us had ever heard of coronavirus. that was the last time these elections took place. so how much have public views changed? well, tomorrow we'll find out. in northern ireland, people will be voting for the government. there are 90 seats up for grabs at stormont. these are the results from 2017, the last time these elections took place. then the dup, a unionist party, won one more seat than sinn fein, a nationalist party. recent polls have suggested sinn fein could take the lead for the first time this time. so this is a crucial contest. in england, 146 councils are being contested. that includes all 32 london boroughs, plus most other big towns and cities. there aren't many elections in rural areas. there are also a handful of mayoral elections. it's all about who runs local services. but for some voters we've spoken to in recent weeks, the big picture counts, too.

inflation is going mad, and especially for fuel prices, for public transport, it's going absolutely insane. items we buy have gone more than 100% increase in price. boris, yes, he's had his parties. even though it's not right, - i'm sure he's not been on his own. i'm just appalled that anybody, you know, in any position could think that it's right to actually have drinks at work. for local elections, i do tend to think a bit more locally. i'm working and i should be able to be saving so much money. i but i physically cannot. because, like, everything is just so expensive. in scotland, every local authority, 32 in total is up for election this year, and in wales, all 22 local authorities are being contested and these will be the first local elections in which 16 and 17—year—olds can vote. so across the uk, there's a lot at stake. if you really want to understand

what's happened, the real evidence will lie in comparing the votes that the parties get tomorrow with the votes they got in the same councils last year. in many, many places, that comparison will be possible. to find out what's happening in your area, or who you might be able to vote for, visit bbc.co.uk/news for all the information you need. alex forsyth, bbc news. joining me now from westminster, our chief political correspondent adam fleming. good morning. we have been hearing from a number of voices this morning from a number of voices this morning from the parties.— from the parties. yes, the conservatives _ from the parties. yes, the conservatives are - from the parties. yes, the conservatives are going i from the parties. yes, the| conservatives are going on from the parties. yes, the - conservatives are going on the offensive and talking about this eventin offensive and talking about this event in durham that keir starmer was at where he says he was working and if this was in april last year, the conservatives say it was a breach of lockdown rules, they are pushing that today. the reason they are going on the offensive is

friday lunchtime what they call the projected national share, which is if this had been a general election for the house of commons, how would the parties be doing, who would be in pole position to be prime minister? i do wonder if over the weekend the two big things we will be talking about our conservative mps starting to move against boris johnson because they look at the results add think he is no longer a winner, and how theyjust heard loads of complaints from voters about the lockdown busting parties at downing street and does that beauden on birchall to's opponents in his party? and also northern ireland, the good friday agreement which enshrines the rules for northern ireland executive at stormont assembly, that might come under a lot of pressure in the next couple of days. you under a lot of pressure in the next couple of days— couple of days. you will be busy over the next _ couple of days. you will be busy over the next couple _ couple of days. you will be busy over the next couple of- couple of days. you will be busy over the next couple of days, i couple of days. you will be busy - over the next couple of days, aren't you? thank you. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol.

cardiac times, rain across the far north, temperatures tomorrow ranging from ten in a north to 21 in the south. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines — the ukrainian city of lviv is hit by a number of russian missile strikes, the first in the west of the country in more than a week. the eu proposes a ban on the russian oil imports, as part of a fresh packages of sanctions. more protests have been taking place over a leaked document, which suggests millions of women in america could lose the legal right to abortion. also coming up before 10.00 — the family who felt they could've been better supported with an eating disorder diagnosis. more students in england and wales are complaining about the university courses, with around a third of the

complaints related to the pandemic. sport, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here'sjohn. good morning. it was never going to be straightforward challenging for silverware on four fronts. and despite a first half scare where villareal levelled the tie, liverpool are into the champions league final 5—2 on agregate. and with one trophy in the bag, you wonder how many more will they add with just six games of the season remaining. olly foster reports. a champions league semifinal should be tough. that's whatjurgen klopp said going into last night's game. not this tough. if not the scoreline, then the relief at full—time said it all. you could see how impressed we were in the first half, and then coming back like we came back in the second half is really special. with 500 games, like it feels

with the boys played, it's completely normal that a thing like in the first half can happen. but reacting like we reacted made it really special again. and i'm really happy about it. villarreal played like men possessed, knowing they had to score at least twice. the first came inside four minutes, dia finished off an exquisite move. rather than react, liverpool retreated. the former arsenal midfielder francis coquelin levelled the tie and sent the villarreal fans into delirium. liverpool's players looked lost. they were much better after the break. they had to be. fabinho put them ahead on aggregate with a shot that went through the keeper's legs. the substitute luis diaz pulled the same trick. liverpool had their two—goal cushion back. their place in another champions league final was sealed when sadio mane rounded the keeper, and rounded off the night. well, liverpool had an almighty scare here this evening. but that quest for the quadruple is still intact, and attention now

turns to the spanish capital. will it be real madrid or manchester city that they face in that paris final later this month? olly foster, bbc news, villarreal. well, as olly was saying there, manchester city could well join them in the final. they face real madrid tonight with a 4—3 advantage from the first leg. city have never won the champions league. it's the one piece of silverware that's evaded pep guardiola at the club. they came close last season but, you'll remember, they lost out to another british side, chelsea, in the final. it would change the perspective on our side. it would change the perspective on ourside. i don't it would change the perspective on our side. i don't think... obviously as a player you want to win the trophies, and you want to win this one, but i think the fact we have been fighting for its numerous years and been to the latter stages means that we have been doing really well. obviously it is a cup competition,

and the quality is very high, and it is difficult to win it. for seven years, we did really well, but obviously didn't win it. i think winning it would just change that little narrative. after two seasons away, bournemouth are back in the big time, promoted to the premier league. kieffer moore, their striker who recovered from a broken foot just in time to help their promotoin push, with the goal that sealed it against nottingham forest. he gets to play in the premier league for the first time, a really special momet for the team and the fans. and it avoids it going down to the last game of the season. now, how about this for a match—up? for the first time in five years, andy murray will face the world number one novak djokovic in the third round of the madrid masters. thats after murray beat denis shapavalov in three sets to go through. murray has known the the 20—time grand slam champion since they were children and they have faced each other 36 times in their professional careers. but emma raducanu's

recent good run is over. she's out of the compeition after losing her third round match. she lost to anehilina kalinina of ukraine, who took the first set. raducanu, having taken a medical timeout for a back injury, forced a decider, but her opponent clinched it in the third, winning 6—4, sending the british number one out. that's all the sport for now. millions of women across the united states could lose their legal right to abortion, after it was confirmed a leaked document from the supreme court was genuine. the leak suggests that the current abortion ruling could be overturned, allowing individual states to then ban it. abortion has been a legal right across the us for almost 50 years under the roe v wade decision. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal reports.

abortion is violent! it's a decision that many pro—choice campaigners had feared. and whilst it's not the final decision, people have been having their say, including vice president kamala harris. those republican leaders who are trying to weaponise the use of the law against women, well, we say, how dare they? how dare they tell a woman what she can do and cannot do with her own body? applause. how dare they? how dare they try to stop her from determining her own future? how dare they try to deny women their rights and their freedoms? this is all happening because the supreme court of nine justices, who serve life terms, have been asked to rule on a law in the state of mississippi. that law directly challenges roe v wade. the bench has a conservative majority, which is in favour of rolling back abortion rights. if the court is successful, nearly half of america could ban abortion. 13 states have

so—called trigger laws. another 13 would automatically ban, or severely limit, access. 36 million women of reproductive age would live in places without abortion services. following the leak of the draft, there have been many protests in states like florida, where a restrictive law has already been signed which will ban abortion at 15 weeks. but pro—choice campaigners are worried that if roe v wade is overturned, states like these will ban abortion outright. we need to make sure that people are aware that abortion remains legal. people can still access abortion care, and this fight is not over. you can stay at school and have a baby. you can have a job and have a baby. as an adult woman, when birth control failed me, my husband| and i made the choice i to have a legal abortion. and i'm horrified about that decision would be strippedl away from my grandsons and granddaughters. - polls consistently suggest most americans want to keep

roe v wade in place. but it's not what everyone wants. i'm pro—life. and i've made that very clear from the moment i announced my candidacy. and i believe that what we found during the campaign, and even through today, is that there is a lot of common ground on this topic. we want fewer abortions in virginia, not more. it is very rare that rulings made by the supreme court are made public ahead of time, and draft opinions can change. the court will release its final decision over the summer. nomia iqbal, bbc news, north america. the governor of the us state of oklahoma has signed a law which bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. the move came hours after a leaked document suggested that an historic law which legalised abortion in the united states could be overturned. professor caprice roberts, a law professor at george washington university, said that more states could follow oklahoma.

certainly the southern states in the midwestern states, so if you look at the map, we are talking about florida, louisiana, mississippi, texas, all of those states all the way up through possibly west virginia, but not virginia, so it sort of stops shy there, and doesn't go all the way to the west coast. but again, you get kind of that midwest and the south, potentially ready to go. of course, it does require some political momentum in the states to achieve that, and we are seeing a lot of protesting right now, with apple feeling what is coming, and then again at those who want there to be this change back to sort of states being able to prohibit and sort of regulate against this liberty or privacy interest. as it is, it is currently setting with roe still in place.

the eating disorder charity beat is calling for all medical schools and foundation programmes to provide adequate training on the issue. currently there are no requirements for medical schools to provide any instruction in this area. beat say over two thirds of the people they surveyed — who have an eating disorder — felt their gp did not understand how to help them. zoe conway reports. when you restrict your food intake, it numbs you. and so anorexia is a functional illness. it's a way to cope with difficult feelings or beliefs or anything that's going on for you. joss was anorexic for five years. she says it was a way of coping with the sexual abuse she suffered as a child by a non—family member. i was quite skeletal. i wasjust... i was just very depressed. i would just pace around the house all day. my day was just pretty much filled with numbers. i couldn't really take in much information. it was all about just like the exercise i was doing, the food i was eating,

keeping lots ofjournals about the food i was eating, and then just kind of burning off the calories. her family knew nothing of the abuse. the illness came out of the blue. it was just an incredible shock. walking into this house, it just feels like such a loving family environment. oh, it's a complete shock. i thought these things happen to other people, not to you. i and, yeah, we just never saw it coming at all. - when suddenly they say, ifjoss can put on so much weight a week, - and i was doing the maths, and i was thinking, - "well, to get to the target weight, that's going to be three months." i and you have this sudden moment. this isn't a quick fix. this is something we're living with. oh, my earring! nikki graham lived with anorexia for 30 years. she said that when she entered the big brother house in 2006, she felt finally accepted. she certainly won the hearts

of the audience, but those that knew nikki say she never really believed that she was loved. the anorexia that would kill her took over her life when she was just eight years old. her mother, sue, told breakfast last month that nikki became so weak she couldn't go to school. so i took her down to the doctors because she couldn't walk. and i said, "my daughter needs a hospital and she needs it now." i said, "it's friday. i will sit here all weekend. i'm not going anywhere until you get my girl a bed. and if anything happens, i'm blaming you." and so it was always a battle. so i think they're going to do some kayaking or some paddleboarding. swimming? maybe. the walden family say that they, too, felt that as soon as joss turned 18, the intensive support she'd been receiving fell away. i think that a lot of time and money iwas wasted byjust not having this| coherent strategy of taking someone right through the process. _ so, for instance, joss went

in for an in—patients, - and then when she came out, there was a sizeable - gap before she was seen by an outpatient service. and in that time, there was a lot of slippage. i and things can slip very, - very fast with an eating disorder. joss feared for her own life. she grew increasingly desperate. i sought out my gp�*s number of her own home, and ijust rang her at her home one evening and kind of put my foot down, and said, "look, i'm really scared for my life, and i really need you to advocate for me, to fight for me, because the services just keep putting me on waiting lists and just keep telling me either your weight�*s not low enough or we don't have room for you." the charity beat says medical schools need to do a betterjob of teaching doctors about how to treat eating disorders. at the moment, two thirds of people who go to their gp report that they don't get the referral for assessment, that they should get. that the nice guidelines

say they should get. so the medical professionals, they want to do a good job, but the system that's letting them down and eating disorders patients down is the medical training establishment, because that's not doing itsjob properly. the general medical council says that eating disorders are a complex, high—risk area of practice that should be covered in every doctor's education. we've asked medical schools to develop a common approach to improve how eating disorders are taught at medical school. after finally getting the therapy she needed, joss has turned her life around. she's now working for the nhs as a psychologist. i am very, very proud ofjoss. she's come so far, you know. she's accomplished so much. i don't know how to put it into words, really. we really are enormously proud of her. zoe conway, bbc news. in a statement, the body responsible

for the training of medical staff, health education england said, "we are developing training and courses tailored for healthcare clinical staff supporting patients and services users with eating disorders." you can find details of organisations offering help and support to those living with eating disorders, and their loves ones, on the bbc�*s action line website. just head to bbc.co.uk/actionline. the headlines on bbc news — the ukrainian city of lviv is hit by a number of russian missile strikes, the first in the west of the country in more than a week. the eu proposes a ban on the russian oil imports as part of a fresh packages of sanctions. more protests have been taking place over a leaked document, which suggests millions of women in america could lose the legal right to abortion.

every day for the past 12 months, at sunrise and sunset, different people have watched over the city of hull from a glass pod eight storeys above the ground. it was for an unusual art project called hull vigil, which came to an end yesterday. more than 700 people took part, and crispin rolfe has been speaking to some of them. i can't believe it's a whole year since i was standing here doing the first vigil. hull is the perfect place. interesting. eye—opening. yeah. so many ranges of emotions, so many thoughts going through your head, - all at one space of time, really. the 730 places for the vigil went in four hours. but i'll miss it. for a year now, at both sunset

and sunrise, for the lucky few, it's just been a case of you and the view. but all things come to an end. obviously, you walk up this ramp and it's like someone's given you the key to the city. like, you look after the city for an hour. you seem to be the highest person up. a really beautiful working public space leaves a trace. so, yes, there's the vigils that took part. there's the companions that manage them. and then there's a trace of it. if you saw this shelter from east or west hull, when you walk past this building from two weeks from now, it won't be here anymore. and you'll remember that thing that was on the roof. so i think the legacy is notjust in the people that directly took part, i think it's also in the people that walk past. so the end, then, of a project, which has seen hundreds of people come and stand in this box, in this tiny container, and gaze out

over the city of hull. unless you've done it, it's difficult to imagine what it would be like. but it is very close, it is very high and it is, in a way, full of emotion. we've had asylum seekers and refugees in the vigil, and their comments have been really moving. you know, you've got people who are hoping for a new life and those who are wishing for their old life. that's what's touched me the most, really. but hull's 365—day vigil is now over. it's seen pandemics, empty streets, and new normals. and yet, with those who've taken part all writing down their thoughts, it will have marked the dawn and dusk of people's lives. crispin rolfe, bbc news, in hull.

cordoba is a very dry, dusty city, and it is roasting in summer. to combat the heat, homes were built around a central courtyard and modified later to add an entrance from the street, then filled them full of trees, plants and flowers to give an air of freshness. in 1918, cordoba town hall launched a competition to find the best courtyard, and locals went nuts, decorating their patios, hanging plants from the whitewashed walls of their homes, and filling pots with jasmine, orange blossom, and geraniums, in a bid to win the prizes. the patio festival was sidelined during the spanish civil war, but we introduced in the 1950s. it has been held almost every year since then, the event is adored by local residents and tourists alike.

our north america correspondent, anthony zurker, is in ohio. iam i am outside his victory celebration now, he was endorsed by donald trump several weeks ago, and his standing in the polls increased, he pulled out the victory, and actually, vance just give his victory speech moments ago, he thanked donald trump, he said people say that donald trump's make america great again movement was dead, but as endorsement of vance and vance's victor vito is that it isn't dead yet, so this is a celebration for vance. a lot of pressure, a lot of criticism on donald trump for endorsing vance, vance actually criticised the donald trump back in 2016, so a lot of candidates in the republican senate primary race wanted donald trump's support, and were shocked that he picked vance. so for trump to be
