this is bbc news, the headlines. president zelensky stresses the importance of bringing the russian leader to justice during a speech at the international criminal court in the hague. the aggressor must fear the full power of justice. the aggressor must fear the full power ofjustice. only him yet this is our historical responsibility. in turkey — with less than two weeks to go to the elections — opinion polls suggest the country's leader erdogan could be defeated — after 20 years in power. and a new alzheimer's drug has been shown to slow the disease by about a third. sport and for a full

round up, from the bbc sport centre. hello — thanks forjoining us. manchester united manager erik ten hag says he's expecting brighton to be out for revenge tonight. they only met ten days ago. when united won their fa cup semifinal on penalties. preventing brighton from getting to their first cup final in a0 years. they go again today — this time the prospect of european football being on the cards. brighton are 8th in the premier league — but with three games in hand, while united travel to the amex knowing a win could move them up to third, 7 points clear of fifth. if you get beaten, you want to have revenge. and that is normal that they have a huge motivation to beat us but we have to match that. not only match that, we have to do more. we have to show more, that we have more hunger than they have to win this game.

they'll be crowned champions of italy if they manage to get at least a point against udinese. they've been on the verge of winning the league for several days now. and could have done it on last night, but lazio spoiled the party by winning their game against sassuolo 2—0 they needed a win to keep their slim hopes alive. it's likely though, they've only postponed the inevitable as napoli just need one point from their final six matches to secure the title. laura wienroither is the latest women's player to have ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament. she's the fourth arsenal player to sustain the injury, joining vivienne mediema, beth mead and leah williamson — who injured hersjust over a fortnight ago. wienroither was substituted in the 82nd minute of arsenal's champions league semifinal match against wolfsburg. arsenal have said that the austria international will undergo surgery in due course and will be sidelined for an extended period. acl injuries usually keep players out for six to nine months and are regarded as one of the worst injuries to happen to a player.
3:34 pm
mediema, who did hers in december, tweeted saying "at least we will all be in the gym together." now, in golf, this year's ryder cup in rome will not feature some of the names who've graced the competition over the past few years. lee westwood, ian poulter and sergio garcia — who is europe's all—time record points scorer — are all ineligible after resigning from the d.p. world tour. the fact that these players are no longer eligible for the ryder cup, they are no longer eligible to be vice captains or captains going forward for future european ryder cup teams. i think those views are probably echoed by a lot of european involved fans. we are talking about players who have been iconic for europe during a period of unprecedented success in the ryder cup. and that's all the sport for now.
3:35 pm
ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky has said vladimir putin should face a tribunal, to be held accountable for what he called his aggression and criminal actions in ukraine. mr zelensky was speaking at the international criminal court in the hague, a day after moscow accused ukraine of attempting to assassinate the russian leader. this morning, there were more attacks on kyiv, as russian drones targeted the city for a fourth time this week. healer listed russia's alleged war crimes in this country. the bombing of ukrainian cities, he called for a tribunal to hold president vladimir putin accountable. we tribunalto hold president vladimir putin accountable.— putin accountable. we all want to see different _ putin accountable. we all want to see different vladimir _ putin accountable. we all want to see different vladimir here. - putin accountable. we all want to see different vladimir here. in . putin accountable. we all want to | see different vladimir here. in the

3:37 pm
who are shopping at the supermarket. the ukrainian offensive against russian forces imminent but now civilians are the ones. now separately, russia has accused ukraine of launching a barrage of sabotage attacks. here's olga robinson from bbc monitoring with details on what we know about the suspected drone strikes in russia. yesterday's alleged drone attack on the kremlin is the most high profile suspected drone strike in russia, but it's not the only one. now, let me talk you through some of the other ones. here's a map of incidents that reportedly involved drones that we have been tracking on russia's territory and on the territory of the annexed crimea and the russian occupied territories in ukraine since the start of the year. quite a few of them,
3:38 pm
as you can see, well over 20, . and they largely focus in on the areas around the border with ukraine. that's belgorod region, but also the territory of the annexed crimea and the port city of sevastopol in particular. we also know that these attacks have targeted infrastructure or both in russia and in the next territories. so that includes this oil storage facility in sevastopoljust last week and also another oil storage facility in russia's south. and that happened literally last night. this is a really fresh incident. we also know that that some air fields have been targeted in this suspected drone attacks. and as you can see, again, we're talking about crimea and russian territory
3:39 pm
being affected. but how do we know that these are ukrainian drones? well, the simple answer is we don't know for sure because the ukrainians have never claimed responsibility. but in cases like this, sometimes this is footage from february of a drone that crashed in moscow region. we can see that the footage is very, very similar. the wreckage is very similar in appearance to this drone that is manufactured in ukraine. now, with the military parade in moscow scheduled for next week and also they talk about the ukrainian counter—offensive, it is very likely that these reported incidents, we're going to see more of them in the coming days and weeks. so we'll continue tracking them and we'll report on them as we go along.
3:40 pm
in turkey, voters will head to the polls to elect a new president — injust 10 days. the country's long—time leader, recep tayyip erdogan, is facing a range of challenges including soaring inflation. the presidential vote comes less than three months after earthquakes that killed more than 50,000 people and displaced more than 5.9 million across southern turkey and northern syria. and president erdogan is facing a real threat from kamal killich du—rooloo — he's the leader of the opposition alliance. he says he wants turkey to be less authoritarian, with an outlook towards the west. our senior international correspondent orla guerin has been speaking to him and some of his supporters. let's cross live now to istanbul and speak to orla. all presidential elections like this have very high stakes but this one particularly right now? i have very high stakes but this one particularly right now?— particularly right now? i think in turke is particularly right now? i think in turkey is regarded _ particularly right now? i think in turkey is regarded as _ particularly right now? i think in turkey is regarded as the - particularly right now? i think in turkey is regarded as the most| turkey is regarded as the most pivotal election in decades. we have
3:41 pm
now president facing his biggest ever threat in his 20 years in power both as president and prime minister. his challenger is the opposition leader he has a lead, narrow lead in opinion polls and is offering a very different kind of leadership. he is appealing very much to the young. there are 5 million turks who will vote for the first time in this election. he is promising to bring democracy and freedom back to this country after the steady erosion of freedoms under president erdogan and he is also promising to shift turkey's focus back towards the west. he was radiating a kind of calm, confidence but this will be undoubtably a fight to the finish and it could go to a second round. iasked to the finish and it could go to a second round. i asked what would be the biggest change if he became the
3:42 pm
president of turkey. freedom for the youth as soon as possible. and i'm telling the youth, they can criticise me freely. i'll make sure they have this right. they want democracy. they don't want the police to come to their doors early in the morning just because they treated you. and people have been saying to me in the last few weeks that they are worried for your safety, that they're even worried for your life. now that you are ahead in the polls, do you have any concerns about your safety? erdogan and his supporters can't scare me. i made a promise to this nation i'll bring democracy and freedom in effect. you're saying that your life may be at risk, but you're prepared to take that risk. politics in turkey is a bit like this. do you think there's a danger that the government and president erdogan will refuse to accept the results? we've already had the interior minister saying that the elections will be a coup backed by the west. this sounds like they're already
3:43 pm
preparing to dispute the result. if you win. we don't trust erdogan or his supreme election council or hisjudges. we've said it many times. by having more than one observer in every polling station. we want to ensure the votes are cast properly and that the counting is done securely and recorded and signed. and we have been taking precautions to achieve this and working on it for a year and a half. if you become president of turkey, what will be more important for you? relations with russia or relations with the west? relations with the west. in 1963, we declared our will tojoin the european union, we want to become a part of the civilised world. erdogan does not think that way. it is the opposite. he wants to be more authoritarian.
3:44 pm
the difference between us and erdogan is the difference between black and white. we want free media. we want complete judicial independence. erdogan wants a structure that relies completely on him where no one expresses their opinion. what do you think should happen if he does lose power? would you like to see him face charges for any of his actions during his 20 years in power? or might there be some kind of immunity deal on offer? if he or any of his allies have been corrupt, all the details will be revealed by officials and the matter will be handed to the authorities. i have no intention of destroying him with hatred or anger as he does. i believe the state must be governed byjustice, you know, not one of the biggest concern is whether or not the results will
3:45 pm
actually be accepted when they emerge. he had that the interior minister has made a comment claiming that the elections on may ia would actually be a clue and there is a growing sense that every day that passes that there is a feeling of anxiety. many people you talk to her say they are afraid of what could unfold between the first round on may ia and expected second round on may ia and expected second round on may 28. i asked if he thought president erdogan would go quietly, he said they will retire him and put him in his corner. there are many hey find it impossible to imagine that the authoritarian leader who has had such strong drip on the country over the past two decades would fade away. i also asked mr kilicdaroglu if he had any from the
3:46 pm
military that they would back him if he emerged as the winner at the polls. he really won't be drawn on that, saying that everybody had to accept the democratic will of the people and that would have to be respected. i think for many here there are a lot of question marks and a lot of concerns about whether or not events here in the coming weeks will pass peacefully. we will have full coverage _ weeks will pass peacefully. we will have full coverage of _ weeks will pass peacefully. we will have full coverage of those - have full coverage of those elections. this is bbc news. putting their skills to the test. it was all about accuracy for this we can's hopefuls at bicester in a discipline called auto solos. it something you can do on tarmac or on grass and it is car control so driving around a course with cones,

the disease by about a third. people who took donannamab in trials were able to do more in their daily lives. it's the second medicine in under a year to raise hopes of an effective treatment for the disease. but, there are concerns about the side effects as well as the cost. with more on this our health and science correspondent james gallagher. there are no treatments that change the course of this disease. that becomes a _ the course of this disease. that becomes a significant _ the course of this disease. that becomes a significant moment in the course of a disease. this is a drug that will stop the disease or reverse the damage that has a ready ben dunne. the way it has been done is that when it's given someone, it slows because of the disease so that the client becomes more slowly. it helps living independently for longer. that is the hope that these

thank you for that. this is bbc news. hello there. most parts of the country will stay dry through the rest of today with some hazy sunshine around. there is a stronger easterly wind, mind you, that set up as that area of high pressure is moving away and this low pressure is heading into the southwest that's bringing some thicker cloud and some rain as well. so temperatures in the southwest will be lower than they were yesterday. highest temperatures through the midlands towards the southeast of england could make 20 degrees in the sunshine. there's a lot of cloud and a cold wind blowing in eastern scotland and the north east of england. but it's the cloud in the southwest that's signalling a change because we've got some wetter weather here that will steadily up into the central belt of scotland with showers following into the south. later in scotland, temperatures
3:57 pm
could be as low as six oi’ seven degrees. many other parts of the uk likely to stay in double figures. it will be a cloudy start to friday. that rain continues to move northwards up across much of scotland. a chilly wind blowing in northern scotland with some sunshine for a while. other parts of the uk will see some sunshine coming through, that will lead to more showers breaking out and those could turn heavy and thundery. southern coastal counties of england seeing more sunshine in the afternoon as we get a gentle southerly breeze. still got that chilly wind blowing in northern scotland. temperatures in the northeast, only ten degrees in aberdeen, but it should be a warmer day in the north east of england. and our top temperatures looking at 17 or 18 degrees. the colder winds that we've got across northern scotland will get pushed away and we'll introduce more of a south to south westerly wind across the whole of the country. but that signals some more unsettled weather and some rain is in the forecast as we head into the coronation day itself. that weather front will thicken the cloud in the south and bring this patchy rain northwards across england and wales. most of it will be light further north. we'll see some sunshine developing that will trigger a few more heavy showers in scotland
3:58 pm
and northern ireland. temperatures probably peaking at around 16 degrees in the central belt of scotland and 16 in london for the coronation as well. with the chance of some rain. at times, that wetter weather will then move away after dark out into the north sea. and by the time we get to sunday, we're in between two weather systems. so it's looking a bit more like picnic weather. not completely dry, though. there will be some warm sunshine and temperatures may be higher on sunday. still got a few showers mainly in the north. and then we're back into something wetter for the start of monday.
3:59 pm
4:00 pm
live from london, this is bbc news. in russia, president vladimir putin has made his first tv appearance since an alleged attempt on his life. president zelensky stresses the importance of bringing the russian leader to justice during a speech at the international criminal speech at the international criminal court in the hague. most of the world is not afraid. the aggressor must fear the full power ofjustice. only him, yet this is our historical responsibility. in turkey, with less than two weeks to go to the elections, opinion polls suggest the country's leader, erdogan, could be defeated after 20 years in power.
