translation: we hope - to save the lives of our boys. among them are the heavily wounded. they are being treated. i want to underline — ukraine needs its ukrainian heroes alive. this is our principle. i think these words can be understood by all adequate people. evacuations of those sheltering in the steel plant have been going on for weeks in our correspondent laura baker has been meeting some of them. civilians also used the site's vast network of tunnels as a refuge, aided by the soldiers. but supplies dwindled, and this cold and foetid bunker was cut off from the world. the situation became desperate. finally, after two months, women and children were allowed out into the light. as they arrived at the evacuation centre, i met kateryna, who'd escaped with her two children.

the boys, age six and ii, are adapting to being back outside and play much as they did in the dark. their games involve defeating the russians. their father is a fighter and remains at the plant. translation: under the bombardment, the bombs were so heavy it felt - like the bunker walls were moving and the rooms themselves became smaller. sometimes there was an hour break, and we would hope that's it, maybe that's the end of it. kateryn's home city of mariupol has been hollowed out by the russian assault. this once vibrant port now a shell littered with death and destruction. from the depths of the steel plant, wounded ukrainian fighters made a plea for safe passage. many already have died

from sepsis, they claim. the russians say those injured will be treated, and there are reports of a prisoner swap. but it's not clear what will happen to the hundreds of fighters still at azovstal. among them is thought to be kateryna's husband. translation: i really, really, really want to help them, - but ijust don't know how. i feel really powerless. he is a very strong man, strong in spirit. he has been supporting me all my life. ukraine's military command said in the early hours of tuesday morning that the mission to defend the steel plant was over. it is still unclear how many fighters remain in there. the southern port city has been key to moscow's military campaign, giving russia full control of more than 80% of ukraine's black sea coastline.

ukraine says because it's forces were able to hold up for so long, russia was prevented from moving further north. translation: thanks to the mariupol defenders, the enemy was prevented l from redeploying around 20,000 personnel into other regions, and so was unable to rapidly take zaporizhzhia. to discuss how this will affect russia's invasion of ukraine, i'm joined by glen grant, a former british army officer and military adviser to the ukrainian parliament. we learn there just how long the ukrainian army was withholding mariupol and was fighting for that steel plant. just given how long it took for the russians to take control of it, how much of an impact has that had on russian manoeuvres across ukraine?— across ukraine? huge. not only because they — across ukraine? huge. not only because they tied _ across ukraine? huge. not only because they tied down - across ukraine? huge. not only because they tied down about l across ukraine? huge. not only - because they tied down about 20,000 soldiers. _ because they tied down about 20,000 soldiers, but they also killed a lot, so— soldiers, but they also killed a lot, so they actually devastated a lot, so they actually devastated a lot of _ lot, so they actually devastated a lot of the — lot, so they actually devastated a lot of the units that were fighting

being introduced, we remain open to further talks if we can achieve the same outcome through a negotiated settlement. the prime minister, borisjohnson, has defended that plan. let's fix it. we don't want to nix it, we want to fix it and we will work with our eu partners to do it. now let's look at what the protocol is. it's the brexit deal for northern ireland agreed between uk and eu in 2019. chris mason explains. so, what is the protocol? it's an arrangement to deal with the fact that northern ireland is in the uk and the republic of ireland is in the european union. some things passing from england, scotland and wales into northern ireland are now getting checked when they cross the irish sea, placing what is in effect a border within the uk because as part of the peace process, there's an open border between northern ireland and the republic, meaning the checks can't happen there.

and that's been a problem for northern ireland's unionist parties who support northern ireland being in the uk, including the democratic unionist party, or dup, was in power there when the deal came into effect. this sums up their view. our place in the united kingdom is being undermined. _ that is not acceptable. so, the dup's position hasn't changed. what has changed is who is in government there. there's been assembly elections in northern ireland. since the good friday agreement, it's had a power—sharing system of government. and this time, sinn fein, became the first nationalist party ever to win the most seats. but the dup, who came second, are refusing to enter a power—sharing government until they say concerns about the northern ireland protocol are resolved. and liz truss says that's the reason the government wants to change the protocol, that and issues with goods arriving in northern ireland. let's listen. new customs procedures for moving

goods within the uk have already meant companies are facing significant costs and paperwork. some businesses have stopped trade altogether. without resolving these and other issues, we will not be able to reestablish the executive and preserve the hard—won progress sustained by the belfast good friday agreement. and as this policy expert explains... and it's true that the northern ireland protocol was agreed by boris johnson's government. let me now show you this exchange between boris johnson and our political editor chris mason. help me out, then, here. you signed this deal. presumably you knew what was in it.

what's changed since? i think it's very important recognise that the protocol is a classic piece of brussels negotiation. which you signed up to? yes. and i signed up to it in good faith imagining that it would not be interpreted in too draconian a way. are they acting in bad faith now? i think what they're doing is being overzealous in the way that it's being applied. so, what about the reaction in northern ireland? predictably, the dup has welcomed the move. the statement today— is a welcome and overdue step. that is a significant move - towards addressing the problems created by the protocol and getting power—sharing based upon a - cross—community consensus up and running again. - the nationalist sinn fein party disagree. sinn fein accepts the protocol. now i want to show you this exchange between the bbc�*s nicholas watt and sinn fein. nicholas is talking about borisjohnson in his question.

so, he saying i'm not wrecking the protocol, but i have to reform it to win the confidence of the unionist communities to get power—sharing up and running. well, let me answer you as we answered the prime minister in the following terms. firstly, nobody, including unionism, has a veto on progress. the majority of mlas returned to the assembly support the protocol. that's a fact. there is no call for a consensus or for cross—community consensus for the protocol. that's a legal fiction. the british government is peddling this myth to try and dress up what we regard as a very, very negative approach to the good friday agreement and its institutions and to try and dress it up as being pro—good friday agreement. let's go to westminster and speak to our political

correspondent jonathan blake. what is the new deal? how parliament is responding? no new dimple with the government is proposing _ no new dimple with the government is proposing to do is put forward legislation which would become law in the _ legislation which would become law in the uk _ legislation which would become law in the uk that would allow it to get round _ in the uk that would allow it to get round some of the trickier bits of the northern ireland protocol that are causing problems. but the response _ are causing problems. but the response has varied. some say this is a blatant — response has varied. some say this is a blatant breach or would be a blatant _ is a blatant breach or would be a blatant breach of international law and completely goes against everything that the uk signed up to woody— everything that the uk signed up to woody agreed the post—brexit deal with brussels and the eu. labour are saying _ with brussels and the eu. labour are saying the _ with brussels and the eu. labour are saying the government should stick to that _ saying the government should stick to that agreement and try to find a negotiated solution and as you mentioned the dup, who are crucial to all— mentioned the dup, who are crucial to all of— mentioned the dup, who are crucial to all of this — mentioned the dup, who are crucial to all of this government refusing to all of this government refusing to enter— to all of this government refusing to enter power—sharing government in northern— to enter power—sharing government in northern ireland until problems with this protocol are sorted, did welcome _ this protocol are sorted, did welcome with the fourth or terry had

just a few showers for northern ireland, northern and western scotland, which temperatures mostly in double figures as we start the day tomorrow. so, into tomorrow, then, we have some morning showers around, especially into scotland and mainly in the north. elsewhere, there's a lot of fine weather to come. just a case of waiting for the next system to head our way, as it will into northern ireland, but really late in the day here and ahead of it, a few showers or thunderstorms starting to break out towards the south west and into wales from increasing cloud. now, temperatures for many will be on a par with where they've been today. not quite as high into the east and south east of england, but it won't be too far off. so, very warm where you get to see some sunshine, and temperatures near 20 in the warm spots in scotland as well. so, into tomorrow evening, then, we're taking wet weather through northern ireland, and ahead of it, notice how the showers or thunderstorms become more widespread through england and wales, eventually wet weather into scotland. the potential overnight and into thursday for the east and south east of england seeing some torrential thundery downpours in places. but notice again by thursday morning, with the exception of shetland, which will eventually

see the back of the rain, we are behind that weather system, and there's a lot of fine weather to come again. just a few showers running in towards north west scotland with a fairly stiff breeze here. and temperatures still into the high teens, low 20s. these temperatures will just begin to trail off a bit from friday into the weekend. on friday, aided by the fact there will be more widespread wet weather around during the day this time, and then over the weekend, there'll be showers, most of those across northern parts of the uk. and for most areas, it'll feel cooler and fresher.

area committing to reflect honestly and openly on the past and to forge a new relationship to the future. as we begin thisjubilee a new relationship to the future. as we begin this jubilee visit which will take us from the newest member of confederation to the oldest communities in the north, and a much storied capital at the heart of a great nation, my wife and i look forward to listening.— forward to listening. let's 'ust remind what i forward to listening. let's 'ust remind what happened i forward to listening. let's 'ust remind what happened in i forward to listening. let'sjust i remind what happened in canada's school system right hundred 50,000 indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families and enrolled in abusive church run residential schools. this happened over165 residential schools. this happened over 165 years between 1831 and 1996. canada was a british colony at

the time and last year, over 1100 unmarked graves were found at the sites of former residential schools. we can cross over to the first nation shall you been working hard to raise awareness about this we heard prince charles speaking about what happened to the first nation children and he acknowledged it but in your eyes, is that enough or do you have to hear an apology? it is that enough or do you have to hear an apology?— an apology? it is good, but it is not sufficient. _ an apology? it is good, but it is not sufficient. there _ an apology? it is good, but it is not sufficient. there many i an apology? it is good, but it is i not sufficient. there many things of the british crown is able to contribute and to disclose all the records it has uncle nihilism of canada and other countries like australia and new zealand and united states, we know as early as 1937, a

select committee from the british parliament did a report on aborigines and in there, they talk about conditions of volpi first nations peoples the eastern side of canada we also need to know what did the british government know about the british government know about the residential schools and 1907, headlines across the country were blazing with reports on the cause of death in the schools and dying at a rate of 25% and it could be stopped. what did the british government know about that was my point of the cloud know about that and what were the conversations between them? there was so much that could be disclosed that could be helpful. in was so much that could be disclosed that could be helpful.— that could be helpful. in terms of the relationship _ that could be helpful. in terms of the relationship between - that could be helpful. in terms of the relationship between the i that could be helpful. in terms ofj the relationship between the first nation communities in the british royalfamily, help us nation communities in the british royal family, help us explain and understand how the war family is seen amongst this community given

engage in reconciliation and truth telling, it would really help us be able to come to grips with the lessons we need to learn and link perhaps some the children and unmarked graves of their families. when you hear prince charles will be the future head of state talking about wanting to learn from these communities, what do you take away from that? i communities, what do you take away from that? ., , , ., . communities, what do you take away from that? .,, i. . from that? i hope you learn some different communities _ from that? i hope you learn some different communities but - from that? i hope you learn some different communities but we i from that? i hope you learn some. different communities but we need from that? i hope you learn some i different communities but we need to learn from them as well. and reconciliation is a responsibility that the crown has an needs to undergo the process and a very serious way to be able to alleviate the burden of reconciliation off of the burden of reconciliation off of the backs of peoples around the globe. fin the backs of peoples around the lobe. . . . , globe. on the child and family carin: globe. on the child and family caring society. _ globe. on the child and family caring society, on _ globe. on the child and family caring society, on the - globe. on the child and family caring society, on the duke i and duchess prince charles and their trip to canada, thank you for

an industrialised area where rising energy prices are hitting businesses and families. our europe correspondent, jessica parker, reports from lombardy. steel runs through the veins of this community, but it is an industry under strain. with the war in ukraine and covid—19lockdowns in china, global trade is being disrupted. here, they feel the impact of crises erupting many miles away. paolo tries to stay positive. but he is on reduced hours as factories grapple with volatile energy costs. the father of two started work age 15. now his life savings are gone. translation: our finances are zero. that's to say that they are under. we are in the red. but with the hope of trying to break even again.

during your 40 years in the industry, is this the worst you have known it? translation: this is the worst moment i have seen. _ because no—one can predict what will happen. whether it is steel or other construction or car production. but the metalwork still binds people together. narella and lucas met at this foundry. she says there was a spark between them. living together, two steady wages are up against rising food, petrol and energy prices. translation: with regard - to electricity, we have recently suffered like everyone. our bill has doubled. even though we are never at home. because we leave in the morning at seven and we arrive home at five in the evening. we are tightening our bills more. instead of saving a lot, we will save less. if this is life, you have to accept it. orders at this cast iron foundry continue to flow but a crucial source of raw materials was the ukrainian city of mariupol. now shortages have

ignited higher costs. over at one of italy's largest steel mills, there are mountains of scrap metal, some 7,000 tonnes are melted down here in a day. a production line that burns through electricity. these are freshly made bars of solid steel. you can really feel the heat and they make around 100 of these an hour here. it is a hugely energy intensive process which means it is hugely expensive. since last autumn, i'm told, energy prices have rocketed. sometimes we have to shut down for some hours because it is too expensive. we have tried to adapt to the situation. of course, the main concern is the price of the finished product is rising a lot. and this is a problem for our clients, of course, because they still need to buy our product. are you worried for the future? of course we are worried. there are ominous signs

about the global economy echoing in communities across the world. workers here, like many, can only keep an anxious eye on shocks they may feel but can't control. jessica parker, bbc news, brescia, northern italy. official results in lebanon's election on sunday have confirmed that the hezbollah movement and its allies have lost their majority in parliament. hezbollah is a shia group that is closely supported by iran, and it's dominated lebanon for decades. the election result means no single group is now in control. this all comes in the midst of an economic crisis in lebanon that shows no sign of ending. our correspondent anna foster is in beirut. these election results are not a great help to lebanon because what they don't do is give any bloc or party overall control and the ability to really push its agenda through. and what it means is that really

lebanon for the next few weeks, potentially even months, will be left in the midst of negotiations, horse—trading. it will make it much harderfor any one of these sectarian blocs to try and make meaningful change. and in lebanon at the moment, that is so important. this as a country that has been devastated by economic crisis, one of the worst, says the world bank, in the last 150 years. people are living in poverty. they are looking to their politicians for change. political corruption and mismanagement was one of the things that sent thousands of lebanese people onto the streets back in 2019 in mass protests called the revolution. and that is one of the reasons why independent candidates have made gains this time round. 13 of them have seats in the lebanese parliament. it sends a message, a strong message that people are ready for reform, but what it doesn't do is significantly shift the dial in terms of power. even though hezbollah and its allies have lost a majority, hezbollah is still incredibly powerful group.

its military wing operates outside the political structure. it really works as a state within a state. so if you live in a hezbollah stronghold area, your life will not change immediately as a result of what we see in the election today. but what will be just as hard as it has been is lebanon's attempt to try to get financial assistance for this crisis. the international community has said repeatedly that it wants a stable, functioning administration in place in lebanon if it's to unlock international aid money, and there is no sign of that coming any closer after these elections. stay with us on outside source — still to come. the england masher told him that rebekah vardy�*s media activity were causing distraction. during the euro

"media activities" — because they were "causing problems and distractions". colin paterson reports. day six, and for the first time, leicester city footballer jamie vardy accompanied his wife rebekah vardy to court. but it was his former international team—mate wayne rooney who was facing the questions. england's all—time top goal—scorer is used to getting into the box. today, it was the witness box. while giving his evidence, he appeared confident and assured. he spoke about when he was england captain at the 2016 euros and how their manager, roy hodgson, asked him to speak to jamie vardy to see if he could get his wife to calm down because she was causing problems and distractions for the team in france. rebekah vardy was writing a column for the sun at the time. wayne rooney said he 100% remembered having the conversation and said jamie vardy agreed to talk

to his wife. however, in a statement released outside court this afternoon, jamie vardy said that wayne rooney was talking nonsense and must be confused. today, coleen rooney's private instagram posts were released by the court for the first time. also revealed were two fake stories coleen rooney created to try and deduce who was looking information about her to the newspapers. she allegedly blocked every account apart from rebekah vardy�*s. days later, the stories appeared in the sun. wayne rooney said he did not know about his wife's online detective work until she posted her accusation. he described the 2.5 years since then as traumatic for coleen rooney, saying he watched her struggle, becoming a different mother, a different wife. so, up until now, it had been the wives giving evidence. today, the husbands came face to face. the va rdys left early while wayne rooney said he cannot wait for the trial to be over so they can all go on with their lives.

colin paterson, bbc news, the high court. now is there life on mars? that's what nasa's rover is trying to uncover on the red planet, as perseverance embarks on the most important part of its mission. it's arrived at an ancient river delta, that's been identified by scientists as one of the most likely locations for signs of past life. as our science editor, rebecca morelle, explains. the rover�*s exploring an area called thejezero crater. billions of years ago, it was a huge lake. you can clearly see a river running into it. and this gives you an idea of what it once would've looked like. if we zoom in, this coloured area shows where the river met the lake, depositing sediment to create a delta. the rover landed here in the floor of the crater. it spent more than a year travelling the seven miles,

that's about 11 kilometres, to get to the base of the delta. now it has a 40—metre climb to reach the top, so its deployed the mini—mars helicopter to scout the best path ahead. perseverance is the most advanced rover to be deployed on mars. here you can see a 3d animation of the machine at work. it will survey the delta to select rocks which have the most promising signs of life. onboard drills will collect samples so that scientists can analyse what's inside. this nasa scientist has more on the river delta. i had been staring at this delta for years now, mostly in orbiter images, and now we're finally right front of it seeing it through the eyes of the rover. we know there was once liquid water on the surface of mars. we know there are organics on the surface of mars. and so all signs point to the surface of mars, 3.5—4 billion years ago,

being a habitable planet. here's another member of nasa's team on their hopes for what the mission could achieve. imagine if we found evidence that there was some sort i of microscopic life there. that's huge. it's, you know, - mind—blowing in a way. and so i think the opportunity. to look for that and bring it back to earth and then see what we see i is going to rewrite history booksl regardless of the answer. drjenifer millard is an astronomer, joining us from barry in south wales. how convinced are you that once we eventually get the samples back we'll be able to prove there was life on mars? it's an excellent question and i think if any mission is going to do it, it will be the perseverance rover. because they can get some preliminary analysis on board using the tools situated on the rover but

it's towards the end of the decade in the start of the next decade to get those samples back to our laboratories on earth and we will do much more in—depth analysis and i'll lp the time and the make or break and very excited for that. brute lp the time and the make or break and very excited for that.— and very excited for that. we are ca -aturin and very excited for that. we are capturing everyone's _ and very excited for that. we are capturing everyone's excitement| and very excited for that. we are i capturing everyone's excitement when it comes to this and just what's already been achieved because it's quite remarkable, given that this rover has landed on mars and spent a year travelling and is now about to undertake this client. talk us through where perseverance is going through. it’s through where perseverance is going throu~h. v ., through where perseverance is going throu~h. �*, . ., through where perseverance is going throu~h. ., ., , , through. it's a lot of firsts, technology _ through. it's a lot of firsts, | technology demonstrations through. it's a lot of firsts, i technology demonstrations as through. it's a lot of firsts, - technology demonstrations as well. through. it's a lot of firsts, _ technology demonstrations as well. a new way of navigating the surface of mars which is more automated and it handles it and ingenuity, it is the first time we've had powered flight and be proven that we can fly on

mars and ingenuity has been so useful for actually mapping out the path. it is also done moxie, but recent people to mars eventually and try to extract oxygen from the carbon dioxide atmosphere because we cannot take all the oxygen we need with us, we needed to breathe and burn fuel on our rockets and also its drilling and will be drilling into the rocks, for later returns, it's already for the really important ones that occur after this which are very interesting. mi important ones that occur after this which are very interesting. bill oii which are very interesting. all of these incredible _ which are very interesting. all of these incredible firsts, _ which are very interesting. all of these incredible firsts, despite l which are very interesting. all of these incredible firsts, despite the conditions, what are conditions like on mars right now, and how does that impact the mission? conditions on mars are quite difficult sometimes. in particular, they can be quite sandy, quite

gravelly in the surface of mars and can cause trouble with the wheels making it cracks in them because the made of metal and they can collect lots of material. and these depth storms this evening, they can engulf the inquire planet and often problematic for solar panels, especially with ingenuity, we cannot fly it in the middle of the death storm. as a lot of problematic troubles when it comes to operating on mars. we generally overcome them and we always find a solution one way or another. brute and we always find a solution one way or another.— and we always find a solution one way or another. we think about what it's been achieved _ way or another. we think about what it's been achieved thus far— way or another. we think about what it's been achieved thus far when i way or another. we think about what it's been achieved thus far when it i it's been achieved thus far when it comes to the images that we have been seeing, what do you make of them? f been seeing, what do you make of them? j , . , , them? they've been absolutely extraordinary _ them? they've been absolutely extraordinary and _ them? they've been absolutely extraordinary and perseverance them? they've been absolutely i extraordinary and perseverance is showing mars in high definition you can really get into the beautiful technicolor images we think of mars, if you think of red, but this can

also its image is going on from perseverance. but my favourite one from the footage, it is the footage for it is lifting off and the surfaces and travelling across you can see all the different terrain, the rocks and all the cracks in sand dunes and it comes down in a little cloud of dust and space kicked up. it's been remarkable. a totally different perspective on mars and you really feel like it is a planet that we are inhabiting and i think perseverance is really giving us that feel for the first time. since her excitement _ that feel for the first time. since her excitement about _ that feel for the first time. since her excitement about it - that feel for the first time. since her excitement about it know i that feel for the first time. since her excitement about it know your enthusiasts who are involved and for hearing you describe it so well, it really brings it to life. thank you so much for speaking to was and lots more on perseverance and ingenuity on our website.

remarkable images from mars. stay with us on bbc news. hello. it's been an east—west split out there today. across western areas, it was a case ofjust how wet will it get? well, it took its time, but it turned out to be very wet across parts of wales, northern ireland, south west england for a time. that wet weather sweeping its way eastwards into tonight, but for eastern areas in the sunshine, well, the highest temperature of the year so far, up to near 28 degrees celsius at heathrow airport. so, the rain courtesy of this weather front here. the warmth, the flow of air around low pressure sitting to the west of us. and as ijust hinted earlier, what started in the west with the wet weather, sweeping eastwards, some heavy and thundery downpours around in places. when we get on into the second half of the night, that rain pushes across the northern isles, but elsewhere it becomes mainly dry. just a few showers for northern ireland,

northern and western scotland, with temperatures mostly in double figures as we start the day tomorrow. so, into tomorrow, then, we have some morning showers around, especially into scotland and mainly in the north. elsewhere, there's a lot of fine weather to come. just a case of waiting for the next system to head our way, as it will into northern ireland, but really late in the day here, and ahead of it, a few showers or thunderstorms starting to break out towards the south west and into wales from increasing cloud. now, temperatures for many will be on a par with where they've been today. not quite as high into the east and south east of england, but it won't be too far off. so, very warm where you get to see some sunshine, and temperatures near 20 in the warm spots in scotland as well. so, into tomorrow evening, then, and we're taking wet weather through northern ireland, and ahead of it, notice how the showers or thunderstorms become more widespread through england and wales, eventually wet weather into scotland. the potential overnight and into thursday for the east and south east of england seeing some torrential thundery downpours in places. but notice again by thursday morning, with the exception of shetland, which will eventually see the back of the rain,

we are behind that weather system, and there's a lot of fine weather to come again. just a few showers running in towards north west scotland with a fairly stiff breeze here. and temperatures still into the high teens, low 20s. these temperatures will just begin to trail off a bit from friday into the weekend. on friday, aided by the fact there will be more widespread wet weather around during the day this time, and then over the weekend, there'll be showers, most of those across northern parts of the uk. and for most areas, it'll feel cooler and fresher.
