we have heard a lot of discontent within the bbc during this investigation, but the report has come out now and the chairman has resigned. this is bbc news. life in london, this is bbc news. live from london, this is bbc news. russia launches a new wave of air strikes against cities across ukraine. at least 13 people have been killed in the attacks. i have therefore, this morning, resigned as the bbc chair to the secretary of state and to the board. we will be exploring why richard sharp has announced he will stand down as bbc chairman. in sudan, both sides in the conflict agree to extend a ceasefire for another three days, despite reports of heavy fighting. thank you so much for your time, everybody. i will miss you. good night. cheering and applause and james corden signs off the late late show for the final time, eight years after he took over the prestigious

late night programme. hello., i hello. , i am hello., iam lucy hello., i am lucy hockings. president zelensky has described it as another night of russian terror — a series of air strikes targeting several cities across ukraine. at around 4am local time, the country was hit by a wave of missiles fired by the russian military. this is the scene in one of those cities in central ukraine, after a building was apparently hit by a missile. rescue operations are still well under way to search for survivors in the rubble. so let's take a look at the scope and scale of last night's attack. most of the fighting in recent months has been confined to the east of the country — centred mainly on the donbas region. that changed in the early hours of the morning — the capital kyiv was attacked, the first time it's been a target for more than 50 days. looking further south, in the city of uman an apartment building collapsed —

at least six people were killed. others are feared missing beneath the rubble. and heading further east to the city of dnipro, another deadly attack. the local mayor said a mother and her three—year—old daughter were killed. at least 13 people are dead across the country in these strikes. the bbc�*s hugo bachega sent this update from kyiv. the large—scale attack happened after four o'clock in the morning here and hit places in central and southern regions of ukraine. some dramatic images have emerged from the city of uman, where a residential building partially collapsed, and in the city of dnipro a mother and her daughter aged three were killed after their house was hit. now, here in kyiv there haven't been reports of casualties. the authorities are saying that iliman cruise missiles and two attack drones were intercepted by the country's air defence systems, and i think this happens as the ukrainians are preparing for a counteroffensive

to try to take back territory that's now under occupation, so obviously the concern is that russia could be planning more attacks like this.

around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. this is a pack of military grade bandages designed to quickly stop bleeding. the grim fact is you can bleed to death in underfive minutes. so this is for those first vital moments. help us match on its way, but this could be the difference between life and death in those first moments. a charity called wrap aid, run

by this former soldier alex chivers, is now putting them in black cabs. that's going to apply a0 lbs of direct pressure. so straightaway that's stemming a serious bleed. now, these are the packs that we'll be asking you to carry in the front of the cab. today the charity the charity started giving them out to 400 taxis initially. there will come a time, - unfortunately, as we all know, when something awful happens, . and if one of these packs are there it really could save lives. and it's at no cost to anyone. you know, our members. are just carrying the packs, there's no inconvenience to anyone. this is a real possible... you know, a life—saving win—win situation for londoners. - it'sjust great news. you're live with bbc news. both sides in the conflict in sudan have agreed to extend a fragile ceasefire for another three days. the truce has only been partly effective with heavy fighting taking place in parts of the capital, khartoum.

going to use the same airstrip was fired at. it did manage to land safely. the fuel system may have been damaged as a result of that. it is being checked over at the moment. the sudanese army are blaming paramilitaries for the shooting. the army has also been doing its own offensive against the rsf positions in khartoum, firing at those overnights. we heard a lot of reports that the firing has been intense in some areas. what the british government is keen about is to make sure that any damage or outbreaks of violence are far away from that airfield. that is the preferred place of that they are asking people to go to to evacuate them. if this is true, that a turkish plane on the wane at low altitude has been attacked, it raises questions about the safety of those planes the safety of the operations going on. the 72 hours of

the new ceasefire means they can get 500 people at every day, says the british government, on top of the 1,000 nearly out, accounting for all of the people that the government now wants to leave the country. there are around 4,000 nationals in britain living in sudan and 2,000 have said that they want to leave. if the flights continue at the rate they're going, then the numbers should wrap up. if you take out the escape route through the airfield there are very limited options available. another one going to eat it, another going to port sudan 800 kilometres away and trying to get out by ferry. kilometres away and trying to get out by ferry-— kilometres away and trying to get out by ferry. thank you for “oining us from larnaca. * out by ferry. thank you for “oining us from larnaca. so * out by ferry. thank you for “oining us from larnaca. so those _ out by ferry. thank you forjoining us from larnaca. so those of- out by ferry. thank you forjoining us from larnaca. so those of the l us from larnaca. so those of the report that a turkish evacuation plane coming in to land to the airportjust outside khartoum has

catholics, who make up a slight majority in the population. in the last few minutes the pope has finished his address to diplomats, to political leaders up on the castle hill above where i am now. it was, as you say, a sign of this being a pretty political visit. there were several noteworthy comments in it. he addressed his speech not only to hungarians, but also to europe. he said we seem to be witnessing the sorry sunset of that choral dream of peace, as the soloists of war now take over. a reference also to ukraine, where are their creative efforts for peace, he said? referring to war—torn ukraine. he also issued some words of criticism for hungary's migrant policy in the past and praise for its profamily policies and the

and eclipsed by the other late night hosts that were more political, political satire. when your edge is being the nice guy, being the self—deprecating guy who brings levity into the situation, when that's your one edge and you blow that, or it gets blown or your cover gets blown, it's a problem. and, you know, he's up against — they're not exactly in the same time slot, but stephen colbert, who is incredibly sharp, seth meyers in the same timeslot, and it was just really, i think, hard for him to keep up. and then after a while, i also think that kind of feel good, glad—handing wore on people. you know, as the news shows today with pence and everything that's going on here, there's a little bit more jadedness among americans, i believe, and i think, you know, itjust didn't play the same way as it did when he started eight years ago.

let us show you pictures from khartoum, where the ceasefire has been extended for another three days. there are continuing reports of heavy fighting in the capital. hello. earlier this morning we started off the day with a lot of cloud around. we've seen some outbreaks of rain and drizzle through the morning, but as we head through the day, particularly into the afternoon, it is going to brighten up for many of us and it's going to turn a touch warmer than it has been, as well. not dry across the board, but the weather will be improving and drying up. here's the cloud on the satellite image that's brought the rain over the past 24 hours or so, which is now starting to clear off towards the east, so clearer skies starting to work in for the likes of wales, south—west england. most of the rain will clear towards the east through the day. but for southern england through

wales, into northern ireland, sunny spells and just the odd shower breaking out. they could be actually more frequent and heavier for parts of northern ireland with the odd rumble of thunder. temperatures for most of us in the mid to the high teens today, a little bit colder across the far north of scotland where we'll struggle to get out of single figures. into the evening and overnight, it's still quite cold across the north of scotland with rain clearing from the northern isles, but for most of us reasonably mild tonight, a fair amount of cloud around. a few spots of light rain and drizzle, even a little bit of snow over the highest mountains of the highlands. some mist and some fog patches forming across parts of england and wales, with temperatures for most of us between about five to eight degrees kicking off your weekend. so saturday then starts off with a fair bit of cloud across northern areas. one or two splashes of rain from the word go. sunshine for southern england, wales and northern ireland, but there will be a few scattered showers, particularly for the midlands into northern ireland, some of them heavy and thundery. but temperatures down towards the south—east 19 or 20 degrees. should miss most of those showers i think for the likes of kent into east anglia. into sunday, again, it's parts of south—east england and east anglia that will miss most of the showers, but there will be

those outbreaks of showery rain moving in from the north and the west. those outbreaks of showery rain moving in from the north and the west. some of them could be quite heavy and thundery, but as is the nature of showers, they're going to be hit and miss, we certainly won't all be seeing them. temperatures about ten to 18 degrees across the board on sunday. still a few showers lingering into bank holiday monday, particularly for parts of scotland and perhaps one or two focusing down towards eastern england through the day, as well. but many of us are staying dry and bright with some sunshine and reasonably mild still. for a bank holiday monday, not shaping up too badly at all. 11 to 18 degrees for most of us, but a bit colder too across parts of northern scotland once again. but, in general, the next few days are looking relatively mild, but there will be some scattered showers. looks a touch drier, but also colder, into next week. bye— bye.
