police in india have arrested two people after a fire destroyed an office building in delhi and killed at least 27 people. # up in space, man... # bookmakers are predicting a rare good result for the uk at tonight's eurovision. but will it be enough to hold back the favourites, ukraine? good afternoon. the mayor of kharkiv has told the bbc that russian forces have withdrawn from the kharkiv city area and are heading for the russian border.

ihor terekhov said russian shelling had stopped, and residents were gradually starting to return to ukraine's second largest city but warned that many residential areas were badly damaged or destroyed. our correspondentjoe inwood has the latest from lviv. a parting gift from russian forces in retreat. this used to be the palace of culture in a small town on the outskirts of kharkiv. translation: we were hit by rockets. three floors were breached. as you can see, the palace of culture is almost completely destroyed. it has nothing to do with military infrastructure. it's a civilian facility. it's a scene replicated right across ukraine's second city, much of which has been reduced to rubble. but kharkiv is known as a fortress city. in this invasion,

it has earned that name. its defenders have resisted and now repelled the russians. the battle for kharkiv, it seems, has been won. it's a very different story from that of mariupol, where russia seems confident enough of the victory to be redeploying troops to the donbas region. the ukrainian government says it wants to arm a million men for what is increasingly looking like a long fight. translation: today nobody can l predict how long this war will last, but we are doing everything in order to free our land as soon as possible. this is our priority, every day to work towards making the war shorter. however, it doesn't depend only on our people, unfortunately. any diplomatic solutions will depend on russia, who today released these pictures showing their troops on the offensive. their top diplomat was also in combative mood. translation: the eu has turned from

a constructive economic platform, - as it was created, into an aggressive militant player which is already declaring its ambitions far beyond the european continent. all over the kharkiv region, the scars of the battle for ukraine's second city. this is unlikely to be a turning point in this conflict, but with russian supply lines now in ukrainian sights, make no mistake — this is a major victory. joe inwood, bbc news, lviv. russia says it has no hostile intentions towards finland and sweden but has warned that their membership of nato would lead to the militarisation of the baltic region. finland is expected to formally announce its intention to join the western military alliance tomorrow. russia and finland share an 800—mile border. the finnish president is said to have told vladimir putin in a phone call earlier today that russia's invasion of ukraine had "altered" his country's security environment. russian state media claims mr putin

replied that abandoning decades of neutrality would be a "mistake" and any changes to finland's foreign policy could be "negative for bilateral relations". it's as russia cut off some electricity supply to finland overnight, saying it had not been paid for previous deliveries. both sweden and finland are attending an informal meeting of nato foreign ministers today, with both expected to announce their intention to join. the g7 group of leading industrialised nations say they'll never recognise international borders that russia tries to alter through military aggression. in a statement following a meeting in germany, g7 foreign ministers reiterated their support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine and other nations. the group promised to further increase political and economic pressure on russia. here, a ban on "buy one, get one free" deals for unhealthy food and drinks in england is being put on hold for a year. another part of the government's obesity strategy, to restrict uk television advertising ofjunk food before 9pm, is also being postponed until 202a.

the government said the delay would allow a better understanding of the impact on household finances as the cost of living continues to rise. let's get more on this from our political correspondent david wallace lockhart. afternoon to you, what is the background to this decision? 50 afternoon to you, what is the background to this decision? so the government — background to this decision? so the government was _ background to this decision? so the government was due _ background to this decision? so the government was due to _ background to this decision? so the government was due to ban - background to this decision? sr it'ie: government was due to ban multi—buy offers onjunk food in england government was due to ban multi—buy offers on junk food in england from october, things like "buy one, get one free" on unhealthy food. that has been pushed back by a year. there is also going to be a ban on the time thatjunk food can be advertised on television, it was going to have to be watershed, but that has been pushed back to 2024, but the separate part of the strategy about positioning unhealthy goodsin strategy about positioning unhealthy goods in shops will come into force, so not at checkouts in the end of the aisle. the government say this is all to do with the cost of living, they want to delay aspect of

these to get an idea of the impact on household budgets. that has gone down well with the food and drink federation, representing manufacturers, but it has not gone down so well with one of boris johnson's previous health ministers, lord bethell, who says that such a bahney�*s and conservative, he points out that the money that the taxpayer and the nhs has to spend on the excessive consumption of these foods is a burden on the taxpayer, and he questioned what it said about the government's overall strategy to health. if the government doesn't see through— if the government doesn't see through these relatively straightforward measures, which are in line _ straightforward measures, which are in line with _ straightforward measures, which are in line with where history is taking us, i_ in line with where history is taking us, i worry— in line with where history is taking us, i worry that its commitment to health_ us, i worry that its commitment to health disparities, to turn you cancer— health disparities, to turn you cancer programme, the five more years— cancer programme, the five more years of— cancer programme, the five more years of healthy life longevity commitment, to our whole commitment to making _ commitment, to our whole commitment to making britain healthier. there

are other experts _ to making britain healthier. there are other experts agree _ to making britain healthier. there are other experts agree with - to making britain healthier. ti” are other experts agree with him, saying it was a missed opportunity, and something else he said that was quite interesting, he said all the points towards multi—buy deals on unhealthy food actually being bad for people's household budgets, it leads to them making the wrong decisions. however, at this point in time, when we are hearing some pretty horrible stories about people struggling with inflation and the cost of living, it would have been difficult for the government to sell the idea of people not being able to buy these offers, because many people feel it will help them quite a lot with budgeting. but, overall, what this shows is the cost of living is largely the key issue the government is facing with at the moment, and i suspect there could be other policies that could fall by the wayside in order to deal with this. �* . ., ., , this. and we are already getting it tau ued this. and we are already getting it tagged onto _ this. and we are already getting it tagged onto other _ this. and we are already getting it tagged onto other things, - this. and we are already getting it tagged onto other things, so - this. and we are already getting it tagged onto other things, so for. tagged onto other things, so for example yesterday's announcement on job savings in the civil service, helping the cost of living crisis.

it is hard to see how that is a direct correlation, because presumably getting rid of these jobs will take several years, people will be entitled to redundancy payments, and i guess those people might be worse off, so it is curious how it is popping up all over the place. what the government is essentially doing, we know borisjohnson has asked his ministers to come up with ideas to help on the cost of living, but ones that do not cost the taxpayer money, do not cost the government money. so cutting down the civil service, he believes, could be one of those strategies, but you are quite right in saying it will not get money into people's pockets immediately, it is a medium term strategy. it pockets immediately, it is a medium term strategy-— term strategy. it might allow cuttin: term strategy. it might allow cutting taxes _ term strategy. it might allow cutting taxes further - term strategy. it might allow cutting taxes further down i term strategy. it might allow. cutting taxes further down the term strategy. it might allow- cutting taxes further down the line. and there is the idea of telling people they only need to get their mot done every two years, and this is one of those areas where boris johnson feels instinctively there could be an immediate benefit to people if there was multi—buy deals

are allowed to stay for some time yet, but quite crucially, we should point out that the british retail consortium, which represents a lot of supermarkets, they are saying it will not make much of a difference, because supermarkets largely have moved away from these deals in recent years. moved away from these deals in recent veere— recent years. david wallace lockhart. — recent years. david wallace lockhart, thank _ recent years. david wallace lockhart, thank you - recent years. david wallace lockhart, thank you very i recent years. david wallace - lockhart, thank you very much. let's speak to caroline cerny from the obesity health alliance. it says this is a shocking u—turn. caroline let me ask you first of all, where do you take that view of it if it is only being delayed for a year? it if it is only being delayed for a ear? �* .., , ~' 4' ., . year? because i think we know that when policies _ year? because i think we know that when policies get _ year? because i think we know that when policies get delayed, - year? because i think we know that when policies get delayed, it - year? because i think we know that when policies get delayed, it is - when policies get delayed, it is very rare that they are reintroduced. there was a really interesting study last year that looked at the last 30 years of government attempts to address obesity across the uk, and they found there had been nearly 700 different policies that had been announced, but the majority of them

either have not been implemented, they have been delayed, they have been re—announced and then never quite implemented. i think that will probably happen here, and that would be bad news for public health. {line be bad news for public health. one ofthe be bad news for public health. one of the things _ be bad news for public health. one of the things that lord bethell said during his interview was that there is evidence to suggest that some of the foods that are subject to these offers come in other words foods that are regarded as junk foods, have an addictive quality to them, so in other words they create a kind of desire to have more of them, and that that might actually mitigate the argument that this could help people's budgeting.— the argument that this could help people's budgeting. there are two oints to people's budgeting. there are two points to that. _ people's budgeting. there are two points to that, and _ people's budgeting. there are two points to that, and let's _ people's budgeting. there are two | points to that, and let's remember the food industry spends millions of pounds every year, you know, fighting the point about that, that balance of fat and sugar that makes these foods are so attractive and so moreish. but there is also really good evidence that multi—buys like "buy one, get one free" do not save

people money, and there are several reasons for that. firstly, they trigger unplanned purchases, things we were not intending to buy, which obviously costs more money, but you also buy more in the long term as well, so they actually add a net cost to household shopping, and the government know this. its research was presented in the impact statement when it was approved by parliament, so rowing back on it now, it is not because of the cost of living crisis, and it is not going to help households save money. are you worried that while the government says it will introduce this next year, this is a way of dropping the policy? definitely, it has assed dropping the policy? definitely, it has passed every _ dropping the policy? definitely, it has passed every single _ dropping the policy? definitely, it has passed every single hurdle i dropping the policy? definitely, it has passed every single hurdle so far, you know, we had royal assent on the health and care billjust a couple of weeks ago which would have brought in the advertising restrictions early next year. so, you know, it makes absolutely no sense to drop it now, and certainly on the advertising side, there is no way the government can argue that

advertising for unhealthy meals will cost money. advertising for unhealthy meals will cost money-— cost money. that is kind of an interest during _ cost money. that is kind of an interest during one, _ cost money. that is kind of an interest during one, isn't - cost money. that is kind of an interest during one, isn't it? | interest during one, isn't it? presumably, as you said, it is hard to make that case. for a lot of people, they would say the government is doing us a favour, because by banning this, it all contributes to food costing that bit more, significantly more at the moment, so from the public point of view, anything, however small, that helps on that will be welcomed. but it is not. helps on that will be welcomed. pm it is not. having these multi—buy offers does not make food cheaper, and it is not going to make the type of food that we need to eat to fill us up and give us a nutritious diet, it is not going to help with that, it is not going to help with that, it is not going to help with that, it is a fig leaf policy, it is not helping with the cost of living crisis. ~ ., ., . helping with the cost of living crisis. ~ . . . ., helping with the cost of living crisis. ~ . ., . ., helping with the cost of living crisis. . ., . ., crisis. what advice would you offer to eo - le crisis. what advice would you offer to people watching _ crisis. what advice would you offer to people watching now _ crisis. what advice would you offer to people watching now who - crisis. what advice would you offer to people watching now who are i to people watching now who are struggling with trying to provide

i'm a bit numb because i think it's... it's a bit surreal because i know that i'm going to die. and the messages are beautiful, but they're heartbreaking as well, and so i'm trying to read what i can, and i hope that when i'm not feeling well enough to read them myself, then my family will read them to me, and i think that will give me some comfort. deborah says this is her favourite photo with prince william and her lookalike brother ben. in what has been just a few short days, deborah — now dame deborahjames — has left an extraordinary legacy. graham satchell, bbc news. the government is cutting ties with the national union of students because of accusations of anti—semitism within the organisation. the union will be removed

some of the contestants. the feet belong to a singer called mahmood, here with his fans. and he's here in turin for his second eurovision song contest, representing italy. you have fans here and everywhere. everyone knows you. have you got used to all of this, what eurovision has done to you? are you used to this fame? oh, you know, for me it's always a new thing, you know, because the emotion is always the same, so...yeah. in the past, many looked upon eurovision as a graveyard for careers. but things have changed. for anyone who wonders what eurovision is all about, this is what it's all about. for mahmood... ..it�*s made him a star. and it's also done the same for last year's winners — maneskin.

well, we've basically been touring nonstop, making new music. yeah. — going all around the world. so it's been like basically all we dreamt of. music: stefania by kalush orchestra. and while the favourites for tonight are ukraine's kalush orchestra, there've also been quite a few bets on a country that's rather struggled in recent years — the uk. # i'm up in space, man... sam ryder and space man has won many admirers. i'll be completely honest, it's quite strange walking around as part of the uk delegation, with people going, "you're going to win, you're going to win!" and we're like, "what? !" # and i wanna go home... winning is perhaps being a bit optimistic, but few expect another last place. the left side of the leaderboard for us is a win, put it that way. a top ten is a win. a top five is a homecoming bus tour, in my eyes.

a win is panic stations — "what are we going to do?" "this is amazing." and given the uk's long fallow period, a bit of eurovision hope is an unexpected turn of events. # and i wanna go home. # david sillito, bbc news, turin. live coverage begins at eight o'clock on bbc one. i am not going to ask darren bett about the weather prospects in turin, it is going to be outdoors. but much nicer outside here! ican i can tell you it will be dark, that is as far as i'm going to go! a lovely day in the uk across much of the country, the sun is out, the wind is lighter than yesterday, so feeling warmer. patchy cloud around, but sunny for many areas. most of the cloud across the far north of scotland, so cooler here, and for the fa cup final, may be 23 degrees,

very warm, but high pollen levels across england and wales in particular. changes into this evening, because we have got showers and cloud coming into the south west, moving further north, but most of the wet weather across southern parts of england. some thunderstorms possible. further north, drier, with clear skies, a cooler start tomorrow in scotland, but having said that, one or two showers as far north as northern ireland and south—west scotland by the morning. the heavier ones in southern england move away, showers heading further north through the day, northern scotland missing most of them, more warm sunshine coming through across southern parts of england and wales as the downpours move away. 22 degrees, like today, a little cooler perhaps around the north sea coasts, as the breeze started to pick up.
