hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. the polish president, andrzej duda, has been given a standing ovation in the ukrainian parliament after he delivered a passionate speech in support of ukraine. it's the first address in person by a foreign leader to the parliament in kyiv since the russian invasion began. president duda, who earlier met with ukraine's president zelenskiy, said that only ukraine has the right to decide its future. if ukraine is pushed to sacrifice even a centimetre of its territory, just to keep things calm, for economic reasons or political ambitions, it will be a huge blow, not only for the ukrainian nation, but for the entire western world, i have no doubt about that.

at a press conference afterwards, president zelensky stressed again his request for ukraine tojoin the european union. the european commission will issue a report injune on whether to accept ukraine's application to become a candidate for membership. it is likely to be a drawn—out process as it's already causing dissent within the bloc. translation: poland plays an imortant translation: poland plays an important role _ translation: poland plays an important role for _ translation: poland plays an important role for our - translation: poland plays an important role for our common | translation: poland plays an - important role for our common future in the eu. ukraine belongs in europe, no one else other than our polish friends and stanzas, for a long time ukraine believes it has become a part of the eu. it is a part of europe. and later in the programme we'll be talking to a polish journalist who's been meeting both the ukrainian and polish presidents today. staying with ukraine and the government says it won't agree to any ceasefire or peace deal with moscow that would involve giving up terrority. a senior adviser to president zelensky says making any concessions

would backfire because russia would only escalate attacks in the future. from kyiv, joe inwood has the latest. in the donbas, diplomacy feels a distant prospect. russian forces are advancing towards the strategic city of severodonetsk, trying to encircle the ukrainian defenders. heavy artillery and overwhelming force, which eventually won them the ruins of mariupol, still their tactic. a senior adviser to ukraine's president says only force of arms will end this conflict. translation: russia sells nothing but war. | it's only interested in expansion. today it attacks ukraine, tomorrow it could attack any other country on the perimeter — georgia, moldova and so on. there is no otherformula but to subdue russia today, to an end to the war on ukraine's terms.

but for the last few days, at least, it is the russians who have been getting their way. in the south of the country, the occupation administration there was keen to show off the hydropower dam they now control. and water has played a role in the build—up to this conflict. for eight years, the annexed crimean peninsula was denied an important supply of it. russia's invasion has got it flowing again. here in the capital, despite russian gains on the battlefield, the mood remains defiant. now that is in no small part due to the horrors that have emerged from areas retaken from the russians. places like irpin, where two thirds of buildings were destroyed. or moschun, once a village, now a wasteland. back in the donbas, even amid the horror, people seem to find a moment to reflect. translation: what are they fighting for? -

what are we fighting for? two brotherly people. pull a soldier out of the trench and ask him, he would not even be able to tell you what he's fighting for. but that fighting is continuing, even as they pray, maybe for a peace that seems as far away as ever. joe inwood, bbc news, kyiv. here in britain, the deadline for downing street officials to object to being named in the official report on lockdown parties has passed. the senior civil servant sue gray, who has led the investigation, is expected to publish her findings within days. earlier the education secretary, nadhim zahawi, defended a meeting which took place last month between ms gray and borisjohnson — insisting it would not have influenced the outcome of the inquiry. our political correspondentjonathan blake has the latest. borisjohnson, the prime minister whose political fate could rest on the findings of a report by the senior civil servant sue gray. weeks ago, the two held a meeting.

who called it, what was discussed — depends on who you ask. one cabinet minister says the row doesn't matter, as sue gray has complete control over her inquiry and the prime minister would never interfere. i don't know why they had that meeting a couple of weeks ago. all i can say to you, i don't believe it's material to the outcome of the investigation. why? let me tell you why. because the pm has always said that sue gray can take the report to wherever the evidence takes her. sue gray's doing this independently. the prime minister will not interfere or intervene. more than 500 photos have been gathered as evidence by sue gray's team, investigating just how widely rules were broken on boris johnson's watch. some argue all of that should be published to show the public the inquiry has done itsjob. sue gray makes that decision, sue gray has complete control over this. i haven't seen the report. she will publish that report... but you would welcome it? i would absolutely welcome it.

it's the right thing to do. labour are leading calls for all evidence to be put out in the open. their leader, sir keir starmer, is under police investigation himself for possibly breaking lockdown laws, but his supporters say it can't be compared to what went on in whitehall. the statement he made the other week showed real integrity and leadership. he's a former director of public prosecutions, he takes adherence to the law extremely seriously. and if you contrast that to the culture that has been exposed both by what the met has uncovered and by what we're likely to see in sue gray's report, you see that culture comes from the top. the most senior civil servant in government — the cabinet secretary simon case — had to step back from leading the government inquiry after reports of a christmas party in his office. a deadline for officials expected to be named in the report to challenge its findings has passed. if there are no objections it will be released within days. jonathan blake, bbc news.

a colonel in the powerful iranian revolutionary guards has been shot dead in a rare assassination in tehran. two people on a motorcycle are reported to have shot dead colonel sayyad khodaie outside his home — they escaped, but a big manhunt is under way. it's the biggest security breach in iran since 2020 when a leading nuclear scientist was killed. our correspondent sebastian usherjoins me now. tell us more about who the colonel was and what we know about what happened? was and what we know about what ha--ened? was and what we know about what ha ened? ., was and what we know about what ha ened? . ., ., , was and what we know about what hauened? . ., ., , . , happened? there are various sources cominu out happened? there are various sources coming out giving _ happened? there are various sources coming out giving us _ happened? there are various sources coming out giving us more _ coming out giving us more information about sayyad khodaie. the information came originally from iranian media sources who described him as a defender of the shrines, that means he would have been involved in iranians backed operations abroad for the

revolutionary guards, presumably in iraq and in the syrian conflict. there have been other sources coming through sense, particularly from israel, the israeli media, which, although these reports are unconfirmed, it is interesting that the israeli media has taken it upon itself to try and slash information about him out. they say that he was involved in attempts against israelis and jewish people abroad. there are several instances that are cited in various parts of the israeli media and as far as the israeli media and as far as the israeli government is concerned, they have made no comment on the defence minister was asked if he had anything to say and he said no and the reason why israel is in the spotlight of this is essentially that there have been such assassinations before, the last one was in 2020 of a top nuclear scientist in iraq and a number of

others before that, in the previous decade. those have never been confirmed as being by israel, but the general feeling and the accusations are that they carried it out and the modus operandi was similar, got men on motorcycles and it seems increasingly clear that there is colonel was a high—profile target. there is colonel was a high-profile taruet. ., ~' ,, there is colonel was a high-profile taruet. . ~ ., there is colonel was a high-profile taruet. . ~' ., , target. thank you for giving us the latest. the annual meeting of the world health assembly is beginning in geneva, with the unexplained spread of monkeypox one of the issues under discussion. israel, switzerland and austria are the latest countries to confirm cases, bringing the total number reporting outbreaks to 15. monkeypox does not tend to spread easily between people and the illness is usually mild. but the head of the world health organisation says global medical experts are facing a formidable set of challenges. the pandemic is not the only crisis in our world. as we speak, our colleagues around the world are responding to outbreaks of ebola in drc,

monkeypox and hepatitis, of unknown cause and complex humanitarian crises in afghanistan, ethiopia, somalia, south sudan, the syrian arab republic, ukraine and yemen. earlier, i asked dr charlotte hammer — an infectious disease epidemiologist and researcher at about the spread of this virus. the current outbreak is quite unusual insofar as that normally in europe we only see sporadic travel associated cases, asjust mentioned, monkeypox primarily occurs in western and central africa. however, i think it is very important to stress that it is not easy to catch monkeypox. transmission between humans required quite close contact, so from an epidemiological point of view, this is certainly something that needs to be investigated,

because we still do not know how this happened, but as an individual, there is, at the moment, no reason to be particularly concerned, unless you have been in contact with someone who has monkeypox. there are a number of possible scenarios out there that are being discussed, some more likely, some less likely, i think what is at the moment the least likely scenario is that there has been some count of change in biology, either in the virus or in us and the more likely option is that there has just been a perfect storm of very unfortunate events are converging, leading to this very unusual outbreak. a us military cargo plane loaded with powdered baby milk from europe has landed in the united states to help tackle a nationwide shortage of infant formula. the aircraft carried more than thirty—five thousand kilos of formula to help medically vulnerable infants. global supply chain problems were worsened in the us by a product recall and the closure of a production plant in february because of a health scare.

last week, president biden invoked cold war—era legislation to help increase supplies. the headlines on bbc news... ukraine's government has said it will not agree a ceasefire deal with moscow that involves ceding any territory. a presidential adviser said making concessions would backfire on ukraine because russia would immediately escalate the war. delegates at the world health organisation's general assembly are to discuss the spread of monkeypox to more than a dozen countries outside africa, where it's more usually found. let's go back to the news that the polish president has been given a standing ovation in the ukrainian parliament after he delivered a passionate speech in support of ukraine.

joining us now is karolina baca pogorzelska, a correspondent with v—prost, a polish weekly magazine. earlier today she met both the ukrainian and polish presidents. thank you for being with this, how significant is the visit of andrej duda and he is the first foreign leader to address the ukrainian parliament since russia invaded? that is true. andrej duda he was the first foreign leader since february 21 and he said it was an important distinction, not only for him, but also for all polish people who have been helping ukrainian since the beginning of the russian invasion and during his speech, he said that international community has no right to decide about the ukrainian

borders. he said that the count of test for the west, if there was solidarity, and he said also that in an upcoming conference, he wanted to speak with other world leaders about making russia pay for all the damage here in ukraine. because the russian currency reserves are frozen at the minute in europe and the reserves are huge, it is possible. so, president zelensky said it was a symbol, but he said that now the polish people will have the same

rights in ukraine, like ukrainian people in poland. it is a special status for polish people here in ukraine, including, for example, with access to health care. he interviewed president zelensky today alongside andrej duda and you have met president zelensky previously in the past few months, how did he seem to you? i the past few months, how did he seem to ou? ., the past few months, how did he seem to ou? . , the past few months, how did he seem to ou? ., , , to you? i meant president zelensky for the first — to you? i meant president zelensky for the first time _ to you? i meant president zelensky for the first time in _ to you? i meant president zelensky for the first time in kyiv, _ to you? i meant president zelensky for the first time in kyiv, here - to you? i meant president zelensky for the first time in kyiv, here in . for the first time in kyiv, here in kyiv, one month ago. it was an interview for six polish editors and you can see that he is a little bit tired, that is true, but from another site, you can see the great, great determination and we can be sure that he cannot change his mind. donbas and crimea as part of ukraine, that is true, and it is

very important here for ukrainian people. i can say that he is in good shape and he is very determined and what i can say, after the meeting today, you can be sure, between volodymyr zelensky and andrej duda , . .. volodymyr zelensky and andre“ duda, . .. ., volodymyr zelensky and andre“ duda,... ., ., , ., duda,... you have been reporting on the war since — duda,... you have been reporting on the war since the _ duda,... you have been reporting on the war since the beginning - duda,... you have been reporting on the war since the beginning but - duda,... you have been reporting on the war since the beginning but you | the war since the beginning but you have also been travelling around the country, delivering aid, tell us how the country has changed from your viewpoint over the past few months. yeah, i returned from donbas on friday, and then i was in donetsk and i can say that the situation in donbas, for example, is changing, not overnight, but hour by hour.

unfortunately, i did not get to the luhansk region any more, because while i was driving, the last route between the regions, i came across russian shelling and i had to turn back. what i can say, the russians destroyed, to cities in the donetsk region from the air, they were bombing from planes and they used also artillery and the places in that region are important for russia now, because when they are trying to

close the ukrainian army, they are currently in that region, the situation there is bad. they do not have electricity, for example, any more. it is very important to say, for russia, the donbas region it is an issue of ambition, not from february 2a, but from 2014. this an issue of ambition, not from february 24, but from 2014. this is very important and the damage is getting bigger and bigger every day, at least 100 ukrainian soldiers are killed in donbas and many civilians, because russian rockets have been hitting buildings, schools and supermarkets. it is hitting buildings, schools and supermarkets.— hitting buildings, schools and suermarkets. , . , , supermarkets. it is really terrible. thank ou supermarkets. it is really terrible. thank you very — supermarkets. it is really terrible. thank you very much _ supermarkets. it is really terrible. thank you very much for - supermarkets. it is really terrible. thank you very much for telling i supermarkets. it is really terrible. j thank you very much for telling us what you have seen. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre,

here's lizzie greenwood hughes... hello and thanks forjoining us..... after an extraordinary final day, manchester city have won the premier title. they fought back from two goals down to beat aston villa 3—2 to stay ahead of liverpool, who are the bridesmaids again. ben croucher reports. it was extraordinary, an afternoon of incredible drama, as you say for city micro to come back from 2—0 down to win and clinch the title, remember the situation at the start of the day, manchester city knew they had to beat aston villa to guarantee the title but they were in trouble, they were not at the best, they went 1—0 down before the break, matty cash scored for aston villa and then aston villa went to having zero up thanks to philippe coutinho. there was realfear zero up thanks to philippe coutinho. there was real fear amongst the fans here in the stadium, but

thrillingly, they managed to turn it around after 75 minutes, three goals in the space of barely five minutes. it transformed the moon, transformed the match, they held on to win, amid delirious seems, there will be huge relief and delight here at city. they have just awarded the trophy and there was a huge roar. city, interesting times over the summer, a new striker will arrive, that will give them great hope going into next season, that perhaps finally they might be able to crack the champions league conundrum, but for now for the premier league title in the space ofjust five seasons, they are having a victory parade around manchester tomorrow and we suspect that the fans will enjoy it. city's title win of course means disappointment for liverpool. their chances of an historic quadruple now gone, but not a bad season and still the champions league final to come. here's what their fans had to say... obviously they have got quality players but i think we did begin to

believe. this club never loses heart or spirit and we will come again next saturday. i thought it was a good game, but it does not matter if we did not win the premier league,... it is sad, we could have won and at one point we were i excited, we thought - it was going to happen, but unfortunately, we could - not do it. ijust had a feeling we were going to do it and we have worked so hard this year to get to where we are and we could not have played any better. ac milan are the new champions of serie a... they held on to their 2 point advantage over last year's winners and city rivals — inter to win the scudetto for the first time in 11 years. max verstappen fought back from an early spin to win the spanish grand prix after title rival and race leader charles leclerc was forced retired from the race with engine failure.

it was verstappen's fourth victory in six races this year, and he was helped by his red bull team imposing orders on teammate sergio perez. it gives verstappen the championship lead for the first time in 2022 and he heads to monaco next weekend with a six—point advantage over ferrari's leclerc. there was a surprise defeat for 6th seed ons jabeur in the first—round of the french open on sunday. the tunisian was beaten in three sets by magda linette.... jabeur had been among the favourites for the title after being in great form on the clay. the first set was good enough for me but the second set i did not have the opportunity to break her during the opportunity to break her during the serve which made it very difficult for me to stay in the match, but the third set obviously there was a loss of momentum and frustration, that is tennis and i will have to accept that i lost and get back into training and get ready

for the season. that's all the sport for now. you can find out what is happening in the pga golf on our website. women presenters in afghanistan's leading television channels have appeared on air with their faces covered as demanded by the taliban rulers. the female presenters say they are determined to carry on working. in an act of solidarity with his female colleagues, a male anchor presented the main evening news with a mask over his face. heather barr is from the women's rights division at human rights watch — she told me more. part of a parade of horribles, which has been steadily increasing since the taliban took power, on august 15, in spite of the fact that afghanistan feels very forgotten by the world at the moment. what do you make of some women initially resisting and now covering up and now, at least one man, also doing the same in solidarity? so, i think it is wonderful to see

nowjournalists doing this in solidarity and i hope that they continue to cover their faces as long as their female colleagues are obliged to do so. i think a lot of afghan women's rights, as people have been pointing out, there has been a lack of widespread male solidarity over the last nine months since these attacks on women's rights started happening. you know, women came out and began protesting against this rollback of their rights within days of the taliban taking over, but they were protesting alone. there have been very few examples of men protesting with them. so, this move by malejournalists is extremely welcome. the duke and duchess of cornwall will star in a special episode of the bbc soap opera eastenders next month, to mark the queen's platinum jubilee. they visited the set in march, but the fact they'd taken part in filming was kept under wraps until now. prince charles and camilla will play themselves, as they make a surprise appearance at a street party on the square.

good evening. in the sunshine again today, temperatures have reached the low 20s, but actually, for the week ahead — and certainly the first few days of the week ahead — it looks cooler. there will be some heavy showery rain around. and wednesday looks really quite unsettled and windy. we might see some warmth and dry weather return to the south later in the week. so the set—up during the rest of today and tomorrow is low pressure to the north and low pressure approaching from the south, so we are going to see some rain or some showers. now, that rain at the moment is going to be heaviest across the north and west of scotland — the highlands and the islands, really. there will be the odd shower elsewhere, but still some sunshine hanging on further south and east, east of the grampians in northern scotland and in northern ireland, between those sharp showers which will ease the way through the night, although the rain takes time to pull away from northern scotland.

by that stage in the south, we're starting to see some showery rain moving northwards as well. so, with all the cloud around, a mild night for the most part, a little bit grey and misty over the hills where we have the rain as well. so as i say, monday is looking rather unsettled. our low pressure of the weekend will drift into the north sea and the wind direction will change, hence it feels cooler. but also there's uncertainty as to far north the rain's going to come on that next area of low pressure moving up from france. but certainly a lot of showers around across many parts of the uk. could be a little bit heavy and thundery in places, and then potentialfor quite a bit of cloud rolling into southern and eastern areas with some more persistent rain as well during the course of the day. temperatures will be held down into the high teens, really, for the most part. where we see some sunshine, 17 or 18 celsius. further north, it's a showery picture and a little bit cooler than it has been through the weekend as well. that area of low pressure, then, through monday night pushes its rain across other central and eastern areas. by tuesday, it's still hanging

around in the north sea, feeding northwesterly winds in, feeding the showers. that northwesterly wind means it'll feel quite cool for most of us, the showers, as you can see, particularly prevalent across central and eastern parts of the uk. still could be quite heavy here. and temperatures, as i say, around about 15—18, which is about average. and it'll feel pleasant in western areas, perhaps sheltered from the breeze and in some sunshine, but it's generally an unsettled picture, with a windy wednesday ahead and more showers to come then, perhaps starting to dry up and warm up a little from the south by the time we get to the end of the week.
