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? 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.

hello. thanks for joining hello. thanks forjoining us. 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. let's look at the weather situation on the ground in ukraine itself. 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. let's speak to maria snegovaya who is a visiting fellow at george washington university. she's in washington. maria, thanks forjoining us. i am keen to get your understanding, if you like, of what vladimir putin has had to say and why he said what he has had to say and whether there is, in any way, within russia, i should say, a view that the invasion and intervention is backfiring?— invasion and intervention is backfirinu? ~ ., ., backfiring? well, indeed, ratio ”uzzlin backfiring? well, indeed, ratio puzzling military _ backfiring? well, indeed, ratio puzzling military completely i puzzling military completely failed to achieve their original expectations that the kremlin built around it. a reminder that at first, putin learned to occupy ukraine, replace the government and install a russian regime. he fell completely with the first

phase and properly won't make it to the military books in the last century. now to their credit, they and what they are stop but even there, the russians have lost so much manpower early on, the need to essentially have more soldiers. to do that, the authorities but we will have to announce some sort of remobilisation which hasn't happened yet. and because made the night, victory day in russia, is a sacred day, a lot of analysts expected that is what britain would do. sorry to interrupt. _ is what britain would do. sorry to interrupt. you _ is what britain would do. sorry to interrupt. you said - is what britain would do. sorry to interrupt. you said analysts| to interrupt. you said analysts expected it. what about people in russia? was the expectation that there might be something of substance, if you like, with

regard to this address? people in russia unfortunately - regard to this address? people in russia unfortunately are - in russia unfortunately are brainwashed by propaganda so they really tend to believe what they are told and they've been told the special operation, quote unquote, nothing more, has been successfully fought and set it's up to plan. that's one of the reasons probably why putin actually refrained from announcing and declaring war. and announcing full—scale mobilisation. that's because people are not prepared in that they don't expect accommodating for special operation is going according to plan and there isn't a lot of public fight against the special operation. the use of a term like our soldiers are fighting for the motherland is the powerful and emotional one which works, i think it's fair to say, within russia. we have heard president biden expressed concern that mr putin doesn't have a way out of the war. does the power of that sort of language carry him

through, do you think? i sort of language carry him through, do you think? i think that in a lot _ through, do you think? i think that in a lot of _ through, do you think? i think that in a lot of ways _ through, do you think? i think that in a lot of ways putin - through, do you think? i think that in a lot of ways putin is l that in a lot of ways putin is not as much constrained by the public opinion as many tend to believe. as a matter of fact, they think as of now he can sell any of the outcomes. if ukraine is a victory to russians, again, mostly thanks to propaganda and high—level scale in russia. the problem is in putin's mindset. nobody is quite certain about what is that he is ultimately goal. it's clear he is delusional, he public sector the russian army would be welcome to the and clearly a miscalculated expectation. now he is stuck in a situation where i thus take unpopular measures domestically and declaring war and announce it full—scale or at least a quasi— mobilisation or to essentially give it up and

essentially give it up and essentially happy with what he has got at the moment. idem; has got at the moment. very difficult to — has got at the moment. very difficult to work _ has got at the moment. very difficult to work out - has got at the moment. very difficult to work out that. - difficult to work out that. exactly which way you mount bounce on that. thank you very much, joining us from washington.— much, joining us from washington. early returns in the presidential election in the philippines give ferdinand marcosjunior — the son of the former dictator — a clear lead over his main rival. but the vote has been marred by reports of nearly 2,000 malfunctioning counting machines, leaving many questioning the integrity of the vote as howard johnson reports. 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, ferdinand

marcos', 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. queen elizabeth has pulled out of tuesday's state opening of parliament in london. it will be the first time since 1963, when she was pregnant, that the queen will have missed the annual ceremony, which sets out the british government's legislative agenda for the year ahead. her son, prince charles, will deliver the speech instead. our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, reports. it is the most important constitutional duty she performs as monarch, opening a new session of parliament. the queen has only been absent from the state opening on two occasions, in the early part of her reign when she was pregnant. but tonight, the palace confirmed that she would not be there tomorrow. in a statement, the palace said...

most unusually, the regency act of 1937 has been invoked to empower the prince of wales and the duke of cambridge as counsellors of state to represent the queen. the prince of wales will read the queen's speech, written, of course, by the government. good morning, your majesty. how are you? well, as you can see, i can't move. but the queen has had difficulties walking, as has been evident for some months now. 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. sri lanka's prime minister mahinda rajapaksa has resigned amid mass protests at the government's handling of a deepening economic crisis. the move came as the country was placed under curfew after violent clashes between pro and anti—government protesters in colombo. three people were killed, including a ruling party mp, and more than 150 injured in violence in the capital.

protests have been growing over soaring prices and power cuts since last month. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: the fossil hunter who found a shark's tooth that's millions of years old, and he's only six. the pope was shot, the pope will live — that's the essence of the appalling news from rome this afternoon, that, as an italian television commentator put it, terrorism had come to the vatican. the man they called the butcher of lyon, klaus barbie, went on trial today in the french town where he was the gestapo chief in the second world war. winnie mandela never looked like a woman just sentencedl to six years injail. the judge told mrs mandela there was no indication - she felt even - the slightest remorse. the chinese government has called for an all—out effort to help the victims of a powerful earthquake — the worst to hit the country for 30 years.

french president emmanuel macron has offered another solution. warning ukraine's application would take years, if not decades, he's proposed a new european political community instead in light of the ukraine crisis. our news reporter azadeh moshiri is with me. looking at this, ok. emmanuel macron says it will take years. decades is probably not unrealistic but where are they now? ~ . , , now? ukraine submitted the initial part — now? ukraine submitted the initial part of _ now? ukraine submitted the initial part of its _ now? ukraine submitted the initial part of its application l initial part of its application backin initial part of its application back in february, four days after the invasion, but this is by no means a new idea for ukraine. they have wanted this for a very long time. in fact, they entrained the idea to join they entrained the idea to join the eu in their constitution. what president zelenskyy is asking for is to fast track that application. in some ways, that application. in some ways, thatis that application. in some ways, that is already happening. in june, the eu is going to publish its opinion on the bed and that has more to do with

ukraine's candidacy. after this, a member is supposed to implement reforms to show that it is a suitable member for the union. president zelensky wants to fast track that as well and not all member states are comfortable with that, especially since they have been hawkish for expanding the eu in the past decade. there is also another issue where there are six western countries that are waiting in line tojoin six western countries that are waiting in line to join the six western countries that are waiting in line tojoin the eu and the idea of ukraine skipping at the queue to the front is not something they would necessarily welcome. there is a long list of applicants. let's listen to emmanuel macron �*s idea, this political community he is talking about. translation: we need to find a political forum that translation: we need to find a political forum— political forum that shares eumpe's _ political forum that shares europe's values _ political forum that shares europe's values and - political forum that shares europe's values and to - political forum that shares i europe's values and to build political forum that shares - europe's values and to build a forum together. no doubt forums

of security which are not the same as nato which are of cooperation, perhaps of solidarity, that is still to be defined. a lot to be defined and he did that on the stage with the german chancellor. where is he coming from, do you think? the german coming from, do you think? tue: german chancellor coming from, do you think? tte: german chancellor as well as president emmanuel macron have both said that they see ukraine as part of the european family, but the process of skipping the checks and balances, the reforms that need to take place, is something that neither of them is extremely comfortable with. now, president macron qualified this proposal by saying that anyone who joins this parallel whojoins this parallel community can still apply to join in the eu and that in fact it won't prejudice that process at all. he even said that countries that have left the eu can join as well, like the united kingdom, but the fact is that neither of them is keen on

lowering the standards of accession to the eu, and you speak of the german chancellor. he also sent a message to the western balkan countries we were talking about and he said for them to be reassured that they are not looking to go back on any of the accession promises. what they both want is a strong and sovereign europe. is a strong and sovereign ewen-— is a strong and sovereign euroe. ., ,, . ., ., europe. nothing special for ukraine seems _ europe. nothing special for ukraine seems to - europe. nothing special for ukraine seems to be - europe. nothing special for ukraine seems to be the i europe. nothing special for i ukraine seems to be the message there. thank you very much. you're not suk—yeol has squared victory. —— you will not suk—yeol. he has vowed to bolster the alliance with the united states. now, we have the story of rare and precious find. a tooth from one of the world's largest prehistoric sharks, a megalodon, was found in the uk, and could be up to 20 million years old.

and the fossil hunter who found it? well, he's just six years old. the bbc'sjo black has the story. the tooth of one of the largest prehistoric sharks, extinct for roughly 3.5 million years. it's a discovery that any experienced palaeontologist would be thrilled with, but this megalodon tooth was unearthed by a six—year—old, and now sammy and his fossil are the talk of his school. sammy, i like yourfossil. i think the tooth was heavy. it's really big, and megalodons are from ages ago. _ but what does sammy make of it all? so it's, like, so big, i didn't even know what it was. and how did you find out what it was? my daddy told me. there were clearly some very serious fossil hunters down there, with all the proper gear, and then me and sammy in muddy boots, walking along the beach, hoping to find a shark's tooth, and instead turning up this megalodon tooth.

it can range from at least 30 metres up to a maximum of 80 metres, or almost the length of two double—decker buses. it was the last bank holiday weekend here in bawdsey, in suffolk, where sammy struck lucky. sammy has been to this beach before, but he was looking for shells, but inspired by talking to fossil hunters, he decided to try and look for sharks�* teeth, and this was his first attempt at doing so, and of course he found one, but at first he didn't realise how special it was. there is a part of me that hasj been looking for a megalodon tooth since i was six, i so i haven't found one yet. but i'm very, very pleased that he has found one. i sammy has now taken to sleeping with his special tooth. this might be a once—in—a—lifetime find, but for this six—year—old, he is determined it won't be his last.

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, although, 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, 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.

hello again. you are watching bbc news with me, david eades. the headlines call in a —— 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 eighty per cent of the votes counted in the philippines presidential election, ferdinand marcosjunior 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.
