welcome to bbc news. i'm david eades. our top stories: president putin uses russia's victory day parade tojustify his invasion of ukraine but no indication of any change of course. is ferdinand marcosjunior, the son of a former dictator, heading for a landslide win in the philippines presidential election? i'm karishma vaswani reporting live from manila where mr marcosjunior, known locally as bongbong, appears to have more than twice the number of votes than his main rival, the outgoing vice president, leni robredo. for the first time in nearly 60 years, queen elizabeth will not

attend one of her most important ceremonial duties, the state opening of the british parliament. and it's andy warhol's most expensive painting ever — his iconic portrait of marilyn monroe is sold at auction. welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. the russian leader, vladimir putin, has addressed the huge victory day military parade in moscow, saying the invasion of ukraine had been provoked by the west, and that russian troops fighting there, were "defending the motherland". what he didn't say was anything about the progress of that invasion, let alone how or when the war might end. our russia editor, steve rosenberg, reports now from moscow.

it is the annual pomp to showcase russian power. across red square they marched, thousands of soldiers, in a parade marking a glorious victory — the defeat of nazi germany. upbeat marching band music. but today there is no peace. vladimir putin has invaded ukraine. back from there, parading too, paratroopers — who moscow says took part in the russian offensive. a war of conquest, says the west. the kremlin disagrees. translation: the defence of our motherland, when its destiny - was at stake, has always been sacred. as in the past, you, our soldiers, are today fighting for our people in donbas, for the security of our motherland, for russia.

on display — lots of firepower. and yet in ukraine, moscow has suffered military setbacks. what russia does next isn't clear. you can march thousands of soldiers across red square, you can parade your very latest military hardware. but that does not automatically make you an internationally recognised superpower. the point is that the kremlin�*s decision to attack ukraine has sparked global condemnation and sanctions — and is turning russia into a pariah. and that has consequences. protestors chant. doused with paint, russia's ambassador to poland at a soviet military cemetery today. the crowd is calling the russian officials "fascists". moscow has launched an official complaint. and there were individual protests in russia. the sign says, "no to the new war."

it wasn't up for long. others came to victory day held signs saying, "this isn't what they fought for." and what about those who fought in world war ii? maria sidorova, who is 100 years old, said all she wants is peace. "the war i fought in, we understood, but this war "now, well, maybe i'm old, but there's something not quite "right about it." "i hope it ends soon." vladimir putin wants russians to believe the decisions he takes are right. this giant victory day event portrayed him as the father of the nation. but in a system built around one man, if he gets it wrong that is dangerous. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow.

that's the scene from the russian capital. authorities in the southern ukrainian city of odesa say aircraft dropped seven missiles on a shopping centre and a warehouse on monday evening. the city's streets were empty because of a curfew. one person is believed to have died and five others injured and taken to hospital. officials say the missiles used were �*soviet style', which caused extensive fires. much of the fighting in ukraine is taking place in the east and south of the country, with russia's defence ministry saying 200 targets were hit on monday, mainly in the donbas region, the former industrial heartland, that hugs the border with russia. but despite the attacks, the russian offensive overrall, appears to have stalled in the east, with reports of heavy losses. the bbc�*s andrew harding has sent us this report from eastern ukraine, and a warning, it contains pictures you may find distressing. a quiet village in the donbas is saying farewell to ivan

naduti. killed by a scrap of russian shrapnel. the 30—year—old builder volunteered to fight the day after putin's invasion. his wife begged him not to go. now his father is lost in grief. but something else is stirring in this village and across this region. a burning sense of defiance. "he was defending freedom for every one of us," says a village elder, his lip trembling. "glory to our heroes." a lonely ukrainian warplane thunders overhead. the front lines are just a town away to the north. and a defiant blitz spirit is growing here too, as the bombs fall at random

in places like kramatorsk. seizing this corner of eastern ukraine, with its close ties to russia, was supposed to be an easier task for the kremlin�*s blundering army. but the blundering goes on. "my shop is hardly a strategic target," says lilia, with contempt. and all this is stiffening the resolve of ukrainian soldiers. we met this tank unit, holding their ground at a spot where russia has been trying to break through. they badly need better equipment, but they have other strengths. we are united. we fight for our independence from russia. russians soldiers fight for money. they are not motivated as we. the russians have been pounding these front line positions for weeks now, but the big picture here in the donbas is that the kremlin�*s

offensive has largely stalled. they have taken hardly any significant towns and the ukrainians are making them pay a heavy price for every scrap of land. further out, in no—man�*s—land, ukrainian volunteers collect the abandoned bodies of russian soldiers. too many to count, according to alexei. "i can't see how the russian army can keep going, "it is losing so many men," he says. "i don't understand this madness." back at the village, ivan�*s father is still inconsolable. but his widow brings their 5—year—old son to the graveside. "he was a stubborn man and a good man," she tells us, sounding resolute now, as the struggle for the donbas grinds on. andrew harding, bbc news, in eastern ukraine.

we turn next to the philippines, where early returns in the presidential election give ferdinand marcos junior, the son of the former dictator, a clear lead over his main rival. voting took place amid reports of several fatal shootings at polling stations. the vote was also marred by nearly 2,000 malfunctioning counting machines, leaving many questioning the election�*s integrity. let's go to manila and speak to karishma vaswani there. it's getting clearer as to who has won this on?— has won this on? yes, it appears _ has won this on? yes, it appears that _ has won this on? yes, it appears that way, - has won this on? yes, it| appears that way, david. has won this on? yes, it - appears that way, david. we will get the official results in the coming days and they will announce, there is a press conference expected later today here to give us an update at the national commission on elections about those official results. even with what we have so far, the unofficial party results, which are pretty reliable, i have to say, here

in the philippines, they indicate that ferdinand marcos jr, son of former strongman, has indeed become the elected leader of this country. he has outpaced his main rival, leni robredo, with something like 15 million votes, at the current unofficial count, the numbers were getting through, and it's remarkable given the fact that he has transformed his family's image, a makeover, if you will, from what we have seen in the previous year to what we have got today. that is precisely what howard johnson has looked into for us as well. philippine history is turning on its head. reporter: people i power has taken over. once a disgraced family ousted from the presidential palace in 1986, amidst charges of corruption and brutality, the marcos family looks set to return with the people's backing.

this was bongbong marcos earlier, casting his vote in his father's hometown. he was joined by his son, sandro, the 27—year—old is running for congress. this, a rare appearance of 92—year—old mother, imelda, once a byword for greed because of her excessive collection of designer shoes, bankrolled by the taxpayer. the marcoses now promise to return to a golden age of economic prosperity, but critics say they've used social media to whitewash the sins of their past. the only person standing in the way of a marcos revival is leni rabredo, a human rights lawyer and economist, but she's well behind in the unofficial tally of results. but this year's election has been marred by reports of vote—buying, violent skirmishes and malfunctioning counting machines. you can see there are some tensions in this polling

station, that is because people have been waiting for hours to feed their ballot papers into this machine here, which has been malfunctioning now for six hours. people are being told here to leave their papers to be fed in later on, but because of the lack of trust, perhaps, people want to wait to see their paper go through so that that they can get an official receipt. translation: it's dodgy, all i want is the truth, - i almost collapsed earlier. the philippine election commission say more than 1,800 machines malfunctioned, but the body failed to heed calls to extend polling hours. it's left many questioning the integrity of this election. supporters of the marcos family say they deserve a second chance but the results will shock the world. crimes proven by court documents, whistle—blower accounts and independent media reporting seemingly mean little

to the majority here. howard johnson, bbc news, manila. correction, for all the reservations about the result and election itself, bongbong clearly has a very strong mandate building here. what is that second chance, as we heard, what does that look like in terms of policy?— in terms of policy? well, not very much. _ in terms of policy? well, not very much. to _ in terms of policy? well, not very much, to be _ in terms of policy? well, not very much, to be fair, - in terms of policy? well, not very much, to be fair, david. we have had a lot of other messages of unity that bongbong marcos talked about during his campaign and ambitious plans, indeed, when it comes to the economy but very short on specifics and details. what we have had in the last few hours, i have to say, is comments from his main rival, leni robredo, not a concession speech yet but certainly an indication that she wants people here to heed the voice of filipino voters. this is what she said.

translation:- this is what she said. translation: ~ ., ., translation: we love our country becoming - translation: we love our country becoming this - translation: we love our country becoming this and l translation: we love our - country becoming this and issue that would divide our love of the country even if a lot of votes have not been counted, evenif votes have not been counted, even if there are still questions in the election the need to be answered, it's clear that the thoughts of the people are becoming known. in that the thoughts of the people are becoming known.— that the thoughts of the people are becoming known. in the name ofthe are becoming known. in the name of the philippines _ are becoming known. in the name of the philippines that _ are becoming known. in the name of the philippines that you - of the philippines that you will love, we need to listen because _ will love, we need to listen because in the end, there is only— because in the end, there is only one _ because in the end, there is only one country that we serve. that _ only one country that we serve. that was — only one country that we serve. that was leni robredo speaking there and certainly trying to send a message out to her supporters, i think, send a message out to her supporters, ithink, to send a message out to her supporters, i think, to say it's time for it is to heal and, indeed, the next leader of this country will have to do that. it's been a hugely divisive election, really heated campaign and healing the philippines for the next president will be a key power to going forward.— to going forward. yes, and a challenge- — to going forward. yes, and a challenge. karishma, - to going forward. yes, and a challenge. karishma, thankl to going forward. yes, and a i challenge. karishma, thank you very much, indeed. more from karishma ahead on bbc news.

she's been seen several times using a stick, this was sandringham in february. but quite what the palace means by its phrase "episodic mobility problems" is unclear. officials will not define what those problems are, other than to say that they are a continuation of the issues she's encountered since last autumn. that there has been a change in her general health is apparent. it began last october. on the evening of the 19th of october, the queen was at a reception at windsor castle. the following day, she cancelled the trip to northern ireland, and was taken by road into hospital in london, where she spent one night. no reason has ever been given. so, should we be concerned? i know several people who have seen her very recently, - and apparently she is on very good form, but listen, - she is 96 years old. she's been through an awful lot of difficulties recently, - not least the death - of her husband last year. she's been at the centre of the nation's affairs for more than 70 years. this was the first state

opening of her reign in 1952. tomorrow, the queen will be absent from the state opening due to reasons of health, but palace sources say she's looking forward to her platinum jubilee and hopes to take part in as much of it as possible. nicholas witchell, bbc news. in south korea, yoon suk—yeol will take the oath of office in about an hour's time, to become the country's thirteenth president. he had the narrowest margin of victory in the history of the vote — by less than 1%. a political novice, mr yoon has vowed to get tough on north korea and bolster the security alliance with the us. our correspondent jean mackenziejoins us from seoul. some pretty bold promises but a very narrow win, so what can south koreans expect of him? you are right. president new

some fuel —— the president has a very tough task ahead of him. most of all he is a political novice himself. the only entities campaign less than a year ago. entities campaign less than a yearago. before entities campaign less than a year ago. before that he was his country's top prosecutor, and as you say he is not quite as popular as he would like to be, winning the vote with such a tiny margin, just not .7%. he also enters office with the lowest approval rating of any new president here, and, to add to his worries, he also doesn't control the parliament, the opposition party have formed an assembly, and will do for the first few years of his presidency, which meets they have the power to veto —— which means they have the power to veto. so he will have a tough time trying to unite this country, and the threats of a dangerous new world, as you mention, north korea, will have

to work out how to confront an increasingly hostile north korea, because as you say he has vowed to take a harder line on the country's military escalations. in previous years, south korea has continued to engage, in talks, so he is really going to have to decide how he responds was that we have had two missile tests in the last week. we know that north korea likes to test new governments to try and increase its leverage, and official intelligence officials here one thing that he has vowed as president is that he wants to focus less of his attention on north korea and more on south korea's relationship with the rest of the world. his primary focus is improving the alliance with the united states.- with the united states. thank ou ve with the united states. thank you very much _ with the united states. thank you very much indeed. - with the united states. thank you very much indeed. well. with the united states. thank- you very much indeed. well done over the greatest showman there, i hope the decibel level

comes down a bit when the president starts to speak. the prime minister of sri lanka — mahinda rajapaksa — has resigned, faced with mass protests at the government's handling of the country's economic crisis. the island has been placed under curfew, after violent clashes between rajapaksa supporters, and anti—government protesters in colombo. protests against soaring prices and energy shortages started last month, as our south asia correspondent rajini vaidnayathan reports. an island nation, sinking fast. an explosion of anger after weeks of anti—government protests. as the two sides came face—to—face, supporters of the prime minister attacked the so far peaceful demonstrators who were calling for the government to go. they accuse the police of failing them. as you can see, scenes are extremely tense here. this is outside the prime minister, mahinda rajapaksa's house.

violence once plagued this nation, during decades of civil war. now, an economic emergency has left millions struggling �*to survive. it shouldn't be happening in this country. they want bloodshed again in this country. no gas, no fuel and various essential medications, and people are suffering, and people are living with one meal per day. can you imagine, can you imagine? i am so sorry to say this. a cost of living crisis after a pandemic has brought thousands to the streets. they blame the government for reckless borrowing, ill—timed tax cuts, and a failed experiment in organic farming which has driven food shortages. political heavyweights in sri lanka, prime minister mahinda rajapaksa and his brother, the president,

gotabaya, have ruled sri lanka, on and off, for decades. now, the man once known as the country's lion has quit. addressing his faithful one last time, mahinda rajapaksa, who has also served as both president and finance minister, is stepping aside to make way for an all—party government. protestors cheer. these protesters have just found out that sri lanka's prime minister, mahinda rajapaksa, has resigned. it is a big moment for them. they have been calling for the prime minister and the president, who remains in power, to quit over this economic crisis. tonight, the home of a government mp was set alight by protesters. until president gotabaya rapaksa resigns, he and his party will continue to feel the heat. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, colombo. one of the most iconic images of the 20th century has been sold at auction in new york.

makes andy warhol the most bankable artist of all time, we are told. that is bbc news. thanks forjoining us. hello, there. there is a bit more rainfall in the forecast for this upcoming week — most of it's across the north and the west of the country, very little affecting the south and the east, and it will be quite breezy over the next few days, as low pressure will stick close by — in fact, quite windy at times across northern and western scotland. it's all down to this area of low pressure, sitting to the north of the uk. plenty of isobars on the charts, so that's why it'll be windy, and there'll be lots of showers packing into northern and western areas pretty much from the word "go" on tuesday. the overnight weather front through central parts of england will be pushing across east anglia and the south—east, barely anything on it as it moves its way eastwards. eventually, it will clear away, and then it's a bright day, plenty of sunshine around, but scattered showers pretty much anywhere, most of them in the north and the west, where some of them could be heavy, with some rumbles

of thunder. these are the mean wind speeds — it's going to be a fairly gusty day across the board, but very windy across the north—west of scotland, and temperatures will range from around the mid—to—high teens for many, we could see 20 celsius across the south—east. so pollen levels, again, will be quite high, especially across the south east, where it will be driest. but further north, it should be a little bit lower than what we've had the last few days. now, as we head through tuesday night, we'll hold onto the showers across northern and western areas. they will continue to be blustery, and some of them merging together to produce longer spells of rain. a new weather front will start to push into the south—west of england and wales by the end of the night. this promises to bring some more persistent rain across southern areas, though, again, it'll be a fairly mild night. so we'll have low pressure to the north of the uk, with scattered showers here. this weather front will be bringing outbreaks of rain to parts of england and wales. so we start wednesday off on quite a wet note for southwest england and wales — this rain pushing into the midlands, and then, across into eastern england, and some of it will be pretty

good rainfall for the gardens. however, it could be, again, the south—east of england escapes and stays rather dry, so we'lljust have to wait and see, a bit closer to the time. but further north, there'll be sunshine and showers, and those temperatures range from around 14—18 celsius. that weather front clears away, a bit more rain across the north of the uk to end the week, and then, into the weekend, a new area of high pressure starts to build in, and that'll start to draw up some warm air from the south. so, in the short term, we'll continue with the strong winds and further outbreaks of rain, by the end of the week and into the weekend, it'll start to turn very warm — in fact, the mid—20s celsius in one or two places by the time we reach sunday.

this is bbc news. the headlines: the russian leader, vladimir putin, has addressed the huge victory day military parade in moscow, saying the invasion of ukraine had been provoked by the west, and that russian troops fighting there were "defending the motherland". but he didn't say how or when the war might end. with more than 80% of the votes counted in the philippines presidential election, ferdinand marcos junior is heading for a landslide win. unofficial results indicate mr marcos, known locally as �*bongbong', has more than twice the votes than his main rival, the outgoing vice president, leni robredo.
