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 the moment andy warhol became the most bankable artist of them all as his iconic portrait of marilyn monroe is sold at auction.

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. 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. i asked maria snegovaya, visiting fellow at george washington university, if she thinks that with people in russia this intervention, this invasion is backfiring. well, indeed, russia's military completely failed to achieve their original expectations that the kremlin built around it. a reminder that at first, putin planned to occupy ukraine, replace the government and install a russia—friendly regime. they failed completely with the first phase and probably will make it to the military books as one of the least successful military operations in the last century. now to their credit, they revised their goals and now they are much more modest in what they're trying to achieve, refocussing on eastern and south ukraine. but even there, the russians have lost so much manpower

early on, because of the really bad planning of the military operation, they need to essentially have more soldiers. to do that, the authorities probably will have to announce some sort of full mobilisation or at least quasi—mobilisation, which hasn't happened yet. and because 9 may, victory day in russia, is a sacred day, a lot of analysts expected that is what putin was gonna do. sorry to interrupt. you said analysts expected it. what about people in russia? was there expectation that there might be something of substance, if you like, with regard to this address? people in russia unfortunately are brainwashed by propaganda primarily so they really tend to believe what they are told and they've been told the special operation, quote, unquote, not the war, has been successfully fought and so everything is up to plan. that's one of the reasons probably why putin actually

refrained from announcing and declaring a war. and announcing full—scale mobilisation. that's because people are not prepared in that they don't expect it, they think the special operation is going according to plan and there isn't a lot of public enthusiasm to fight against this "special operation." the use of a term like, "our soldiers are fighting for the motherland" is a powerful and emotional one which works, i think it's fair to say, within russia. we have heard president biden express 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 think 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 its high—level scale in russia. the problem is in putin's mindset. nobody is quite certain about what it is that his ultimate goals are. it's clear he was delusional about ukraine. he expected that the russian army would be welcome there and clearly a miscalculated operation. now he is stuck in a situation where he either has to 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 be happy with what he has got at the moment. maria snegovaya joining me from washington. let's get some of the day's other news. south korea's yoon suk—yeol has been sworn in to become the country's 13th president. a political novice, mr yoon has vowed to get tough

on north korea and called for the complete denuclearisation of the country. he's also pledged to bolster the security alliance with the us. police in ecuador say at least 100 convicts are on the run after a riot at a prison. more than a0 inmates were killed when violence broke out between members of two gangs. officials say they will carry out a search for weapons inside the facility and transfer gang leaders to a different prison. the uk's opposition leader sir kier starmer says he'll resign if a police investigation concludes he broke the uk's lockdown laws in 2021. the labour leader says no rules were broken when he had curry and a beer at an mp�*s office during an election visit. sir kier is facing allegations of hypocrisy after calling for prime minister boris johnson's resignation when he was fined last month for breaching covid rules. 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. the prime minister of sri lanka, mahinda rajapaksa, has resigned after mass protests at the government's handling of the country's economic crisis. the country has been placed under curfew following 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. state with us on bbc news. coming up: the fossil hunter who found a shark tooth that is millions of years old. he is just 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

to experience episodic mobility problems and in consultation with her doctors, as reluctantly decided that she will not attend the state opening of parliament tomorrow. 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 nations 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. one of the most iconic images of the twentieth century has been sold at auction in new york. andy warhol's painting of marilyn monroe — one in a series of portraits

he made of the actress following her death in nineteen—sixty—two — was expected to fetch somewhere in the region of $200 million. this was the scene at christie's. $170 million is bid for the warhol marilyn here at christie's, and i'm selling it. all done, last chance, fair warning... alex, you are out? giovanna? you are out, too. last chance at $170 million, and alex rotter, here it is, 170 million for the warhol is selling here to you, sir. $170 million. applause. 195 when you throw in commission and taxes for that painting. i don't think they were to

disappointed to miss the 200 million. 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 twenty 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 is thought to be the largest fish that ever lived. 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, - so i haven't found one yet. but i'm very, very pleased that he has found one. - 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. that is bbc news. thanks for watching. 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'll 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, 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.

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 marcoer 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. the queen has pulled out of tuesday's state opening of parliament, in london. it will be the first time since 1963 the queen will have missed the annual ceremony

which sets out the british government's legislative agenda for the year ahead.
