remained very difficult. our correspondent laura bicker sent this report from dnipro. yesterday, these smouldering ruins were a home. russian bombs blasted the bricks and mortar, but they've not broken the spirit of this woman. translation: we were standing here as everything exploded. - "my sunshine, you're alive!" her neighbours were relieved to find each other. the russians have now left here, retreated back to near the border. the battle for kharkiv and its surrounding villages has been won — for now. russia's withdrawal from kharkiv marks a breaking point, according to the head of military intelligence in ukraine. what he means is that forces can be sent east to the donbas and south towards the besieged port of mariupol, areas that have seen the most intense fighting. just south of dnipro,

ukrainian forces test out new grenade launchers... ..weapons supplied from european allies. russian troops are not farfrom here. the ukrainians hope they can push them back and replicate the success of kharkiv. but even with new weapons, a quick victory is farfrom assured. both sides agree on just one thing — this conflict will continue. translation: today, | nobody can predict how long this war will last, but we're 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. translation: the collective west has declared total - hybrid war on us, and it's hard to predict how long _ this will last, but it's clear. the consequences will be felt by everyone, without exception.

the ukrainians hold onto every hope. the battered city of mariupol has still not completely fallen, despite taking the most intense battering of this war. encircled and under constant bombardment, a small fighting force battles on. russia is still trying to show its strength and issued its own propaganda of troops on the offensive, but there's no doubt the loss of kharkiv will be a major blow to the kremlin. and both sides are now digging in for what could be a long and protracted struggle. laura bicker, bbc news, dnipro. pa rt part of the ramifications of all this is geopolitical movement elsewhere. turkey is softening its position on plans by finland and sweden tojoin nato. ankara has accused the two countries of harbouring

kurdish people it deems terrorists. but the turkish foreign minister now says his country is ready to talk about the proposals. meanwhile, russia's president vladimir putin has warned his finnish counterpart that joining nato and abandoning finland's neutral status would be a "mistake". finland is expected to announce its intention to join the western military alliance in the coming hours. russia and finland share a 1300 kilometre border and it russia says it has no hostile intentions towards finland and sweden. moscow is warning that their membership of nato would lead to the militarisation of the baltic region. the finnish president is said to have told president putin that russia's invasion of ukraine had "altered" his country's security environment. speaking ahead of a meeting of nato foreign minsiters — finland's foreign minister pekka haavisto explained why his country wanted to join nato and why his president had spoken to vladimir putin. we have 1,300 kilometre common border and it is peaceful

and we want to maintain that. it's important we communicate with our neighbour, we don't ask permission. each and every member country of nato has the possibility to prolong the process. there can be delays in the national parliaments and so forth. countries might have their own concerns but i am confident that in the end we will find a solution and finland and sweden will become members of nato. abortion rights supporters are protesting in cities across the united states against a probable supreme court decision to overturn the roe v wade case, that legalised abortion nationwide. large rallies have taken place in houston, new york, washington, los angeles and chicago. last week an unpublished draft draft ruling on abortion rights was leaked, suggesting the court will overturn the 1973 decision. on friday us senate democrats failed to pass a bill to make the right to abortion

final decision is yet to be taken. the robert —— the republican party is confident that most americans will accept an end to roe versus wade with half the states willing to enact a ban on abortion if the law is changed but these protesters vehemently disagree and insist that they are in the majority on the issue of a woman's right to choose. will grant, bbc news, washington, dc. ukraine have won the eurovision song contest in turin in italy — their entry stefania was sung in ukrainian. president zelensky has said "our music conquers europe". the uk ended their disappointing run of results with sam ryder coming second which is the first time that the uk has placed in the top three at the contest in 20 years. the colour, the kitsch, the

happen, there are people who obviously were upset and concerned, and lots of families out here, this is a very residential neighbourhood, and it is one of the few such stores in this neighbourhood. we understand the gunman came from elsewhere and in fact had travelled some time to get to buffalo. and in particular, with this community, am i right in saying that it is a strong sense of the black community? yes, from what we know, the shooter came from a county hours away from here, closer to new york city, broome county, buffalo is much closer to the falls, so they travelled multiple hours to get here. from talking to people in the area, we have heard 102 political voices saying, we cannot allow this sort of thing to exacerbate racial tensions. did you get any sense of how

in his time. we will get more and that as we get it on bbc news. thank you very much for being with us. hello there. hasn't it been a glorious start to the weekend? hardly a cloud in the sky for many. lots of warm, spring sunshine but it was london that recorded the highest temperature, just shy of the warmest day so far with 23.5 celsius. but i do need to draw your attention to this little feature running up through the south—west as we speak, and it's going to continue to bring some sharp, possibly thundery downpours during the early hours of sunday morning. so, becoming more heavy and widespread to central and southern england towards dawn, and yes, that means some welcome rain potentially for the gardens. but not all of us will see those showers, but some of them could be quite potent. they will be running up through east anglia by the middle part of the morning and all the showers drifting

steadily northwards. that means we should see an improving picture across england and wales into the afternoon with sunshine and warmth returning and highs of 23 degrees. not a bad afternoon in western scotland if you dodge the showers and keep the sun as well. sunday night and into monday morning, showers and longer spells of rain merging together as this front enhances precipitation. we will see some wet weather drifting its way steadily northwards to begin with during monday morning, and that means a tricky story to tell across northern ireland, northern england and scotland by the middle of monday afternoon. once again, an improving picture across england and wales after the early morning rain eases away, temperatures will recover. again, we could see 23 celsius. another area of low pressure pushing in from the west, but as it bumps into the high sitting across europe, it looks likely that most of the rain will stay out into western areas,

and ahead of it, it's really going to throw up some warm and humid air, so there's the potential on tuesday for some of us to see the warmest day of the week with highs of 25 celsius. but out to the west, and the cloud and rain, we're looking at mid to high teens. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday and through the middle part of the week, we do see these weather fronts starting to ease away and high pressure building in once again. there will be some outbreaks of rain to clear away, but generally speaking through the middle part of the week, it looks likely to turn that little bit quieter and again, still pretty warm.

this is bbc news, the headlines: at least ten people have been killed in a mass shooting at a grocery store in the us city of buffalo in new york state. the 18—year—old suspect has been taken into custody. police are calling it a hate crime and an act of "racially motivated violent extremism". the mayor of ukraine's second—largest city kharkiv has told the bbc that russian troops have withdrawn from his city, which has been under constant bombardment since the invasion began. but president zelensky has said the situation in the eastern donbas region remains very difficult. abortion rights supporters are protesting in cities across the united states against a probable supreme court decision to overturn the roe v wade case, that legalised abortion nationwide.
