been jailed for life. sergeant vadim shishimarin had claimed he was only following orders when he shot dead a 62—year—old unarmed civilian. but the court, in the ukrainian capital kyiv, found him guilty of murder. ukraine's government says there've been thousands of war crimes committed since the start of the war three months ago. our correspondentjoe inwood has the latest. this was a moment of great significance. the first russian soldier officially declared a war criminal. 21—year—old shishimarin sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of oleksandr shelipov. the russian tank commander admitted killing 62—year—old but said he was simply following orders. the ukrainian court disagreed and gave him life. but almost at the same time, another announcement was being

made. here in the capital there will be real anger at the news that the defenders of azovstal, then considered national heroes for their defence of mariupol, are to be tried in what's being called an international tribunal in the dom gets people's republic. the news was made by the leader of the breakaway region. we haven't got more details yet but it could be he's referring to all of the fighters orjust yet but it could be he's referring to all of the fighters or just the leadership —— donetsk people's republic. as legal battles were concluded, realfighting has concluded, real fighting has continued concluded, realfighting has continued to escalate. it is focused in the donbas, what was the industrial heartland of the ukrainian economy. this oil refinery was struck by russian shelling as they continued their advance. the toll of the war has been terrible on ukraine, on its people and its economy. speaking at the world economic forum in davos there was a plea for help. if

seen. i could physically get two metres in, there were tears of cameras leaning over the dock where vadim shishimarin stood in a familiar pose of bowing his head as thejudge familiar pose of bowing his head as the judge recounted the key moments of that early invasion. shishimarin's country russia denies deliberately targeting civilians but it was that 21—year—old in the dock alone who is facing the ukrainian criminal process. he has been found guilty and oleksandr shelipov will not be the only ukrainian, he has not be the only ukrainian, he has not been the only ukrainian deliberately targeted in this war. it's a significant legal precedent, as ukraine continues to gather evidence and hold the individual russian soldiers or officers to account as the war goes on. moscow says it is disappointed it couldn't defend shishimarin's interests but in kyiv are very significant moment. thank you, james waterhouse

reporting. the united nations says russia's invasion of ukraine has increased the number of people around the world who've been displaced from their homes from about 90 million to over 100 million. more than 6.5 million people have now left ukraine. elsewhere, people have been been fleeing violence, human rights violations and persecution in a number of troubled countries — including ethiopia, myanmar, and afghanistan. president biden has said the united states would intervene militarily to protect taiwan if it were attacked by china. mr biden's words contradict the us government's long declared policy on taiwan, and have drawn a rapid and angry rebuke from beijing. he made the comments at a press conference launching a new asia—pacific trade pact with japan, aimed at countering growing chinese influence.

johnson says no option is off the table in helping people deal with the rising cost of living. families with two children are facing costs which are at least £400 per month higher than last year. sir keir starmer says a range of things need to be looked at and he's accused the government of dithering and delaying over whether to introduce a windfall tax on oil and gas companies. there isn't an easy formula to deal with the cost of living squeeze but the prime minister is under pressure to come up with answers. what more can and will the government do to help households struggling to make ends meet? h0 help households struggling to make ends meet? ., ., , ., , help households struggling to make ends meet? ., .,, ., , ends meet? no option is off the table, ends meet? no option is off the table. let's _ ends meet? no option is off the table, let's be clear _ ends meet? no option is off the table, let's be clear about - ends meet? no option is off the table, let's be clear about that. | table, let's be clear about that. i'm not attracted intrinsically to new taxes. but of course this thing is going to go on, everybody can see the increase in energy prices. there's more we're going to do. but,

saying about the threats hanging over the world economy? it seems like everything is going on the wrong direction. you have energy prices, food costs, interest rates and debts all going up and then you have growth going down. we have really seen the whole world economy on the precipice of the recession that many people here seem to expect but there is another thing here, which is when you have global crises in economics of energy and food prices, for example, normally capitalism has it within it to solve those problems. you get more production of oil and gas which brings down the price eventually. or you get more production of wheat which helps the people eventually. but right now, diplomacy, geopolitics and war are intervening with those processes and so people just don't know when the prices of

energy and food is going to come down. that has led to a level of uncertainty that i haven't seen in all my visits to this, the world economic forum. there are dozens of world leaders, hundreds of business leaders here, and they were given a standing ovation today via video link third president zelensky. he said urgently that more help is required, more sanctions required on russians, the russians have practically been banished from this place. but really critically, they want help to open up the port of odesa where the wheat exports and food are waiting in silos. they can't be exported because of a naval blockade. that, many people feel, will be crucial notjust to diplomacy and geopolitics but the economics and feeding people too. thank you, faisal islam.

27—year—old woman was arrested on thursday and has been suspended for her role at birmingham children's hospital. let's get the latest from our correspondent in birmingham. what more can you tell us about this? , ., , what more can you tell us about this? , . , ., , this? details about this incident are limited but what we - this? details about this incident are limited but what we know . this? details about this incident| are limited but what we know so this? details about this incident - are limited but what we know so far is that the child was being treated here at birmingham children's hospital paediatric intensive care unit and died on thursday. that same evening a 27—year—old woman, a health worker here, was arrested at a property in the west midlands on suspicion of administering poison with the intent to endanger life. she has since been released as investigations continue and forensic tests are examined. she has also been suspended from her role by the nhs trust responsible for the hospital and that trust has also issued a statement in which it said it was supporting the infant's family at this distressing time and has asked privacy is respected

during the process. the age and six of the child haven't been revealed. this place cares for tens of thousands of children and young people every year, it is a leading centre for specialist paediatric care. this news will have shocked and saddened everyone who works here. ., ., and saddened everyone who works here. . ~ ,, and saddened everyone who works here. ., ~' ,, , and saddened everyone who works here. . ~ ,, , . here. thank you very much indeed. radical changes _ here. thank you very much indeed. radical changes are _ here. thank you very much indeed. radical changes are needed - here. thank you very much indeed. radical changes are needed to - radical changes are needed to prevent tens of thousands more children ending up in care, according to a major report today. the review into council run children's services in england says the current system is dysfunctional and it calls for more than £2.5 billion worth of investment over the next five years and windfall tax on big private children's homes. alison holt has this report. so, let me know how it's been going since the panel. henrietta works with young people to help them pitch ideas and get their voices heard. and also it will be good to know how you found working on the project as well.

her own life was shaped by the crisis in the children's care system that today's report wants to change. after two difficult years, she was removed from her mother by social services. she was 14. in the next months she was moved between five different homes. for me, being in care felt like a never ending storm. just like every day not knowing where the support is going to be from, where am i even going to lay my head. where is the support for the families right at the start when they're struggling? why does it need to be when they've been taken away? and you can't put kids into dysfunction when you've taken them out of dysfunction. it makes no sense. today's review says a radical reset is needed to shift the focus of children's social care away from crisis intervention. it wants more early help available in schools and communities, a new expert social worker role to strengthen child protection, the phasing out of what is described as wholly unsuitable young offenders institutions, a windfall tax on the profits of large children's homes companies,

and to ensure change happens, an extra £2.6 billion funding for services over the next five years. it's crucial that when families hit crisis and they've got difficulties that there is low stigma, really intensive help on offer. and the system we've got at the moment is very well resourced to assess and check what's going on with families, but pretty strapped in terms of the help that it's able to offer. that is where places like new beginnings in stockport come in. these parents have had either children taken into care or they've come close to it. here, they have found support, counselling and advice which has turned their lives around. my little boy has been home with me a year and a half now, _ and i never, ever thought that would be possible again. - and anytime i need support, . i reach out to new beginnings. they're like family, - you know, they are family. they're the family that i never had. they've given me so much support and a lot of tools and strategies to work with,

with my son who's got special needs. and again, they've given me the strength to push on. the government says it is piloting additionalfamily hubs providing early support. it also accepts more needs to be done to support family members, kinship carers, who take on a child who would otherwise go into care, and to find more foster carers. if we know that family relationships, kinship care, is equally important. the system used to obsess about those relationships because that's how you get great outcomes for the children that need the most help in our society. the government says it will consider other recommendations over the longer term. allison, a landmark review and calls for really big changes. what allison, a landmark review and calls for really big changes.—

for really big changes. what is the background _ for really big changes. what is the background to _ for really big changes. what is the background to this? _ for really big changes. what is the background to this? children - background to this? children services have been under huge pressure for some time to stop during a decade of austerity, finance has eroded and the number of children in care grew significantly. at the moment there are about 80,000 children in care and that is a record. it says if we don't reset the system, we will see about 100,000 in care within a decade. so they want to see this major reform, to shift the system away from crisis intervention towards early help. now, the stakes are high. we see cases like the murder of star hobson just how terribly things can go wrong if we are not able to protect children as we would want to. but there are key questions from this. the government has said it is going to look at the recommendations over the coming months, but it will give a more detailed response soon. the

key questions are, does it accept the scale of change which is needed? and will the money be put in to make sure it happens? the suggestion of this report is it can't afford to do anything less. this report is it can't afford to do anything less-— anything less. alison holt, our social affairs _ anything less. alison holt, our social affairs editor. _ anything less. alison holt, our social affairs editor. thank - anything less. alison holt, our social affairs editor. thank you very much. thank you very much. our top story this lunchtime... a 21—year—old russian soldier is jailed for life for killing an unarmed civilian at the first war crimes trial since the invasion of ukraine. how black and asian women are being harmed by racial discrimination in maternity care wards. coming up in the sport in the next 15 minutes on the bbc news channel... a big day for british players at the french open. emma raducanu is going to make her roland garros debut this afternoon, but harriet dart is already out. scotrail, which runs most train

services in scotland, has introduced an emergency timetable, cutting about a third of its services from today. the reduction is because some drivers have refused to work overtime in a dispute about pay. our scotland correspondent james shaw is in queen street station in glasgow for us. james, a lot of disruption for a lot of passengers? yes. if you look at queen street station now at this time of day it looks relatively normal and some of the people that we have spoken to here did get to their destinations on time. but a lot of other people were late for appointments, were late for work, and because of this reduced service some people cannot get to their destinations by train at all. so the question really is whether scotland's railways are going to face a summer of

disruption. this train has got four coaches. on this key route between scotland's biggest cities there are half as many services during rush hour as normal. every 30 minutes instead of every 15. and across the network passenger's' routines are being bent out of shape by the changes. irate passenger's' routines are being bent out of shape by the changes. we have been told it will _ out of shape by the changes. we have been told it will be _ out of shape by the changes. we have been told it will be very _ out of shape by the changes. we have been told it will be very crowded - been told it will be very crowded which is why we booked seats. it will be another 45 minutes and it was supposed to take half an hour. i had was supposed to take half an hour. had to get was supposed to take half an hour. i had to get up 15 minutes earlier than _ had to get up 15 minutes earlier than normal_ had to get up 15 minutes earlier than normal because _ had to get up 15 minutes earlier than normal because of- had to get up 15 minutes earlier than normal because of the - had to get up 15 minutes earlierl than normal because of the train disputes, — than normal because of the train disputes, but— than normal because of the train disputes, but it _ than normal because of the train disputes, but it all— than normal because of the train disputes, but it all went - than normal because of the train disputes, but it all went well. i than normal because of the train. disputes, but it all went well. the train was disputes, but it all went well. train was cancelled and disputes, but it all went well. tip; train was cancelled and now i disputes, but it all went well. train was cancelled and now i am really late. train was cancelled and now i am really late-— really late. this is what scotrail was much _ really late. this is what scotrail was much reduced _ really late. this is what scotrail was much reduced timetable . really late. this is what scotrail i was much reduced timetable looks like. more crowded trains because the services are less frequent and that means more stress and frustration for these commuters. scotrail says the reduction in services means there will be fewer

something in the name, monkeypox, which has grabbed public attention, having said that it is the biggest outbreak that has happened outside africa affecting around a dozen countries that we have seen in 50 years. the symptoms, it can take up to three weeks to appear, which is why the self—isolation period is recommended for close contacts. the key symptom is a rash that then goes through this life cycle of blisters which contain the virus and it can be confused with chickenpox and they are often on the face or genitals and it can be cleared up within a few weeks. how do you catch it? you need close physical contact with someone who is infected with blisters or scalps, or being in close contact with bedding or infected clothing. it can spread in droplets, so it can be airborne, but not airborne like covid. many cases

are in gay or bisexual men, but it could infect anyone who is a close contact of somebody who is infected. there is a vaccine. the smallpox vaccine, because it is from the same family as smallpox, smallpox has been eradicated, and the uk has bought more stocks of that vaccine and some sexual health clinics have received it. , and some sexual health clinics have received it— received it. fergus walsh, our medical editor. _ black and asian women in maternity care wards are experiencing racial discrimination, according to a year—long investigation. women reported feeling unsafe, being denied pain relief, and facing racial stereotyping about their pain tolerance. our correspondent divya talwar reports. i kept thinking, is there something wrong with me? what if i actually don't make it out of here? hiral had leela almost a year ago. she says it was a traumatic labour. ifelt shivery, my whole body was achey.

every time i told the midwives that i don't feel good, they were like, well, you look fine. it was 24 hours before doctors realised hiral was seriously ill. she had sepsis. it was so frustrating that you're not listened to. it was a fight to the whole way, it was constant fighting. and that's not what having a baby should be like. you shouldn't have to keep fighting. hiral believes her race played a part in her treatment. i noticed with the racial stereotypes and the microaggressions, they'd come in and they'd be like, "morning, princess." she meant princess as, "uh, princess." they think indian girls, asian girls are like little daddy's girls, mummy�*s girls, get everything handed to them, they can't handle pain. instead of taking me seriously i think they just thought i was a big crybaby. an inquiry by the charity birthrights had similar stories to hiral�*s. black and asian women reported

experiencing racial stereotyping and microaggressions and felt dismissed. tinu felt ignored during her three pregnancies. with her youngest daughter, she had unexplained bleeding but was told it was just an infection. it got worse, and she ended up needing multiple blood transfusions. if i had not have been hospitalised, i don't think i would be sitting here right now and i don't think my daughter would be here either. anotherfinding of the inquiry was black women being denied pain relief based on racial stereotyping of tolerance. i never get anything, other than gas and air, and even that i have to beg for. everybody handles pain differently. i don't know where people get this idea that we can handle more than most people. all my experiences in my pregnancies have been tainted by my race.

the report highlights the need for urgent action, including better education. the key thing for me to come out of this inquiry is a health care professional is the gaps in our knowledge and the lack of understanding when it comes to how unconscious bias is consistent in our care that we provide. a new maternity task force has been set up, which the department of health and social care said would address unacceptable disparities in care. tinu hopes these disparities will end long before her girls need maternity care. i have two daughters. i don't want them to have to go through what i've gone through. divya talwar, bbc news. there are hopes the queen may visit the chelsea flower show which has returned this year to its traditional spring slot, with floral tributes to honour her platinum

jublilee year. otherfeatures include a mini scotland and a garden for children. helena wilkinson has been taking a look. iam in i am in one of the spectacular show gardens here at the chelsea flower show and over the next week thousands of people will be able to come and visit gardens like this, but today designers are putting the finishing touches to their gardens because there will be members of the royal family visiting a bit later on today. as you mentioned, it is hoped the queen will be able to come, she has been coming here since she was a child, and this year they will celebrate her platinum jubilee. they will celebrate her platinum jubilee. this is the official tribute to the queen's platinum jubilee, here at the chelsea flower show. 70 terracotta pots, one for each year of her reign, filled with lily of the valley, her favourite flower. we have got one tonne of steel,

as a frame, in the lovely platinum purple and then it supports 70 terracotta pots, made by whichford pottery in warwickshire, where i am from and they are each planted with lily of the valley and within the centre we have a silhouette, again, of her majesty, using gorgeous rosemary for remembrance and an assortment of british trees. every garden here has been planned to perfection, ready for its royal visitors later on. this is a garden which has been made for children. it will be relocated to alder hey children's hospital in liverpool, which betty, who is four, will be able to enjoy. i think it is that opportunity to explore and to have those connections in the world that you do not get when you are stuck in hospital. has betty done any foraging here this morning? she has. she has been on the picnic blanket, picking some mint and having - a little smell of all the different herbs that are in _ the picnic blanket. for the first time ever at the chelsea flower show,

judges will find a winner amongst the balcony and container gardens. jane porter is a chelsea first—timer. she has created a slice of scotland using repurposed whiskey casks which are filled with heather and thistle. i really feel like it gives an impression of scotland and also that people can see these sort of ubiquitous planters that you see everywhere and just think, you can do a little bit more with them, with some imagination. before the garden is open to the public tomorrow, some well—known faces have been enjoying the displays. roses are falling out of the sky and i have got apples forming, pears forming, figs forming, walnuts, i've got everything, actually, lemons on my lemon trees dropping off, which i have been picking every night for a gin and tonic. this year's show will be particularly special, as they celebrate the queen's 70 years on the throne. helena wilkinson, bbc news, at the chelsea flower show.
