thank you very much. see you then. russia's president putin has said new targets in ukraine will be hit if western countries supply the country with longer—range missiles. he was speaking as the ukrainian capital, kyiv, came under russian missile attack for the first time since the end of april, with several locations in the city struck. our ukraine correspondent, joe inwood, sent this report. explosion. multiple blasts shattering the peace of sunday morning in kyiv. for the first time in more than a month, ukraine's capital came under fire. now, this is one of two sites that was hit by russian missiles in the early hours of this morning. the russians say they were targeting t—72 tanks donated by eastern european countries. but ukrainians say this was actually a railway repairfacility, and they're quite keen to show the world's media that that is what the russians were hitting. in his nightly address delivered before this morning's strikes, president zelensky described
5:40 pm
the scale of the attacks from above. translation: as of this morning, the total number of various - russian missiles used against ukraine is 2,503. much of the damage to ukraine has happened in the east of the country, the area known as the donbas. in a town not far from the front, people were also dealing with the aftermath of a missile strike. one man blamed the proximity of ukrainian soldiers to his house. "they need to withdraw the troops away from the city," vitaliy said, "because if they are standing here, the russians will hit civilians." those troops are nearby, defending their territory. the city of severodonetsk is the current focus of russia's offensive. it had been thought the city was all but lost to the ukrainians, but then, over the last 211 hours, they say they have launched a successful counterattack. translation: our chances| of retaking the city are high. severodonetsk is of symbolic importance only, not
5:41 pm
militarily or strategic. lysychansk is much more important because it is located on the hill. it is easier for the military to defend and strike. all the while, the donbas continues to empty. people in towns like slavyansk know that as long as russia is on their doorstep, they will not be safe if they stay. joe inwood, bbc news, kyiv. in bangladesh, at least 49 people have been killed and hundreds injured after a huge explosion and fire at a storage depot near the port of chittagong. the cause isn't yet clear, but it's thought chemicals, including hydrogen peroxide, were stored at the site. akbar hossein reports from chittagong. the blast happened as many people were preparing to go to bed. the fire raged throughout the night, with firefighters thought to be among the dead and injured as they tried to tackle the enormous blaze.
5:42 pm
the large container depot is about 25 miles from the port city of chittagong. it is a major port for export to the west. firefighters say it is likely because including hydrogen peroxide are stored there, causing further explosion and sending toxic fumes into the air, further hampering rescue efforts. i can see a lot of ambulances are parked here to carry the dead bodies to the nearest hospital. more than 200 firefighters have been deployed to defuse fire. army has been called in to assist them. bangladesh's industrial areas have a poor safety record, with regulations ignored or not enforced. hospitals have been quickly overrun with the injured, many of them badly burned and in a critical condition. it is likely the death toll here will rise in the coming hours and days. akbar hossein, bbc news, chittagong.

there's been more disruption at uk airports today, with easyjet cancelling 80 flights just as many passengers were trying to return after half term breaks. the company said "challenging operating conditions" were to blame. earlier, the transport secretary, grant shapps, said he'd work with airlines to make sure the disruption doesn't continue into the summer. our business correspondent ben king reports. after enjoying the sun in southern turkey, the graingers were due to arrive back at gatwick in the small hours of this morning. but after three hours waiting at the airport in the middle of the night, their flight was cancelled and they were taken back to another hotel. the only flight back out with easyjet is next thursday, so, we got to the point where we have nowjust spent £3000 on a flight home tomorrow night. are you going to try and reclaim that money back from easyjet? i hope so, ben, and hopefully, well, that might be another story, yeah? theirs is one of 80 flights easyjet has had to cancel today. passengers returning from spain, france and portugal are among those affected. gatwick has seen cancellations of ba
5:44 pm
and wizz air flights and some other uk airports have also seen disruption. bad weather and air traffic control problems have contributed, but easyjet blames a challenging operating environment. too many flights and not enough staff to actually get those fights off the ground, and this is going to be something we see perhaps continuing into the summer, unless we can get real recruitment issues resolved and people allowed to actually get on board with these airlines. the security vetting seems to be the big thing that's stopping airlines getting people up into the air at the moment. the transport secretary said this morning he would do absolutely everything possible to prevent problems this summer, but that hiring workers from abroad wasn't the answer. let's have lots of different measures to help alleviate the situation, with the industry, working closely with the industry, to do that as well. the answer can't always be to reach for the lever marked "more immigration". in fact, as i said, in europe they've got
5:45 pm
exactly the same problems. holidaymakers looking forward to a getaway this summer will be hoping those measures work. ben king, bbc news. the men's world cup qualifier play—off final between wales and ukraine is currently underway in cardiff. wales are aiming to secure a place in the tournament for the first time since 1958, while ukraine hopes to bring more joy to their war—torn country after their semifinal win against scotland. the winners will be in the same group as england for the finals in qatar. it was quite a morning at lord's with a masterful century byjoe root delivering england their first test cricket victory in 17 attempts. they chased down a target of 277 runs to beat new zealand by five wickets. joe wilson reports. sunday morning and all things possible — a test match at its best. super intense. captain ben stokes knew all he could do was watch. everyone mattered. fourfrom ben foakes, a leap forward. just 42 more to win now. everyone in the ground was counting the score and counting on the batters who remained.
5:46 pm
but who else would you want out there for england butjoe root, the calmest man at lords? new zealand needed five wickets, time was slipping by. time for root to reach 100 in this innings, to reach 10,000 runs in his outstanding test career. right here, the partnership with ben foakes was worth even more, because it kept the door closed on new zealand. the very hardest thing to do is to make it look easy. the most demanding of situations became a master class from one of the all—time greats, winning the test like that. i think it's just a really important thing for the team to remember what winning“s like again. it“s felt like a very long time. it has been talked about a huge amount, and just it can breed so much confidence, and it can run through the rest of the group. remember, this was more than just the first test of the new summer. for england, they hoped this was the start of a new test match era. some called it a reset, the captain preferred the term blank canvas. well, thanks to the former skipper, joe root, here is an image
