it wouldn't change the course of the conflict. to turn the tide in ukraine was back favour, president zelensky says he still wants western warplanes, what he calls a coalition ofjets. from the prime minister no commitment, no plans for that. this commitment, no plans for that. e; straightforward commitment, no plans for that. is straightforward as we have been discussing to build up that fighter and combat aircraft capability, it is notjust and combat aircraft capability, it is not just a and combat aircraft capability, it is notjust a provision of planes, it is the training of pilots and all the logistics that go alongside that. ., ., the logistics that go alongside that. ., , ., that. today we spoke about the 'et, a very important �* that. today we spoke about the 'et, a very important topic i that. today we spoke about the 'et, a very important topic for i that. today we spoke about the 'et, a very important topic for us i a very important topic for us because _ a very important topic for us because we can't control the sky, you know— because we can't control the sky, you know it _ because we can't control the sky, you know it— because we can't control the sky, ou know it. , , .,, you know it. president zelensky has been busy as _ you know it. president zelensky has been busy as ukraine _ you know it. president zelensky has been busy as ukraine prepares - you know it. president zelensky has been busy as ukraine prepares a - been busy as ukraine prepares a long—awaited counteroffensive against russia, shaking a lot of fans, not only in france, but germany as well and in rome, rallying support wherever he can get it. but ukraine, he said today, still needs more time. every day the war that russia started causes more casualties. the soldiers were

wounded in bakhmut. more lives will be lost in the ukrainian counteroffensive when it comes, but its outcome will have implications not only in ukraine, but far beyond. caroline holly, bbc news. 0ur ukraine correspondent hugo bachega joins us now from kyiv. has president zelensky achieved what he wanted to when he set out on this tour? ~ , ., , ., tour? well, there is more help on the way and _ tour? well, there is more help on the way and the _ tour? well, there is more help on the way and the promise - tour? well, there is more help on the way and the promise of- tour? well, there is more help on i the way and the promise of support for ukraine going to continue. 0ne for ukraine going to continue. one thing ukraine says it needs, but western countries have been reluctant to provide, fighterjets. president zelensky discussed this issue with the prime minister but he said more work needed to be done. rishi sunak said this was not going to be a straightforward decision. here in kyiv the authorities are obviously grateful for all the help they have received, but i think there is also some frustration with how some western countries have reacted. officials say there was a long debate before a decision was made about battle tanks, a long

debate about air defence systems, and now a long debate about fighter jets. ukraine says those delays are costing lives not only on the front lines, but in towns and cities across the country. the timing of this visit is significant. ukraine is preparing a counteroffensive against russian forces. he knows it needs to succeed, he wants to show that western countries that all the help it has received can result in major victories on the battlefield. president zelensky told me his country still does not have everything it needs to launch what is likely to be a crucial phase in the war. the home secretary suella braverman says there is "no good reason" the uk cannot train its own lorry drivers and fruit pickers to bring immigration down. she has previously said she wants to reduce net migration, the difference between those entering and leaving the uk.

numbers for 2022 are expected to reach a record 700,000, driven partly by ukrainian refugees and mostly by more people from outside the eu coming to work and study. here's our political editor chris mason. conservatives gathered in westminster today, conservatives gathered in westminstertoday, but conservatives gathered in westminster today, but this is not a conservative party conference. it is a gathering organised by an american group which champions, among other things, much more restrictive immigration. the thing is, uk immigration. the thing is, uk immigration numbers being published next week are expected to be at a record high. so enter next the home secretary, saying they need to fall. albeit not before two protesters from the campaign group extinction rebellion found themselves escorted out for heckling.— rebellion found themselves escorted out for heckling._ we i out for heckling. anyone else? we need to get _ out for heckling. anyone else? we need to get overall _ out for heckling. anyone else? we need to get overall immigration i need to get overall immigration numbers down. find need to get overall immigration numbers down.— need to get overall immigration numbers down. �* , �* ., numbers down. and we mustn't forget how to do things _ numbers down. and we mustn't forget how to do things for _ numbers down. and we mustn't forget how to do things for ourselves. - how to do things for ourselves.

there is no good reason why we can't train up enough truck drivers, butchers, fruit pickers, builders or welders. and it is not xenophobic to say that mass and rapid migration is unsustainable in terms of housing supply, public services, or community relations. met supply, public services, or community relations. net migration is the number _ community relations. net migration is the number of _ community relations. net migration is the number of people _ community relations. net migration is the number of people coming - community relations. net migration l is the number of people coming here minus those leaving. for years conservative government promised to get it below 100,000 a year, but they failed. the number did plummet during the pandemic, but has since rocketed. the challenge is this. loads of employers, not least in farming, are struggling to recruit, thatis farming, are struggling to recruit, that is partly because unemployment is very low, so some say they need to hire immigrants to help keep their business is going.- to hire immigrants to help keep their business is going. there are siml their business is going. there are simply not _ their business is going. there are simply not enough _ their business is going. there are simply not enough people - their business is going. there are - simply not enough people unemployed to do the number ofjobs that are available within the sector right now. 50 available within the sector right now. ,, ., ., available within the sector right now. ., ., , available within the sector right now, ., ., , ., .,

score, one critic of rishi sunak described him to me today as a reverse firework. that was not meant as a compliment. there are some who fear he lacks inefficient ways and sparkle to excite the electorate. those around him say he has brought stability to the government and they point to opinion polls which suggest he is more popular than the party. what then about immigration? there is a debate within the government about what the right level is. how high is too high? but there is also something else going on here and it is this. one of the consequences of brexit is that policy for immigration lie squarely here and governments and oppositions can no longer blame anyone else like the european union for the numbers, it is down to them. they have to design a policy and then be held to account for it. our political editor chris mason reporting. a british pensioner accused of murdering his ill wife has told a court in cyprus she begged him

to help end her life. 74—year—old janice hunter, who had cancer, died in december 2021 at her home on the island. her 75—year—old husband david hunter says her death was assisted suicide. our correspondent fiona trott was in court. give a high—five. high—five! good girl! the happy retirement they always dreamed of. janice hunter and her husband came to cyprus nearly 20 years ago, the reward after he worked down the mine from the age of 15. but here inside their home, janice was suffering — she had blood cancer. so, david killed his teenage sweetheart and tried to take his own life. just concentrate on me. the moment afterwards captured on a personal video call to his daughter, back in the uk. you love me, you know you do, i'm your girl~ _ today, david hunterfinally gave his version of those events, something the grandfather

has waited 17 months to do. for the first time, david hunter explained why he killed his wife in his own words. with tears in his eyes he said this: "i regret what i had to do, i would never have helped her take her life if she hadn't begged me. it was her decision, not mine, hers. she said, 'i�*m sick of being alive, it's just leaving hospital and sitting at home. this is no life.�* i loved her so much." we are really hoping that at the worst it comes to. manslaughter, based on the facts i he's given the court today about her requesting it, about - the reasons why he acted. if that happens, there's a good chance the court can look at a i much shorter sentence. david hunter is due to appear in court again next week. this is being seen as a test case in cyprus and the road to justice is long. and as the weeks go on his family worry about his physical health and

his mental health here on the island, where the couple were meant to live their dream life. david hunter was my daughter lesley says today was my hearing has been emotional, see my dad relive the worst day of his life. she has called this the fate of their lives and it isn't over yet. exam season is starting for gcse and a—level pupils, and also for technical qualifications in england, wales and northern ireland and after the huge upheaval caused by covid, england's exam regulator quual says that students should be able to get the same grade they would have done if the pandemic hadn't happened. covid led to an increase in top grades in 2020 and 2021, but this year quual wants what it calls a "step back to normal". here's our education editor branwen jeffreys. the moment of truth, after a year of hard work. exam halls filled with silent concentration, teenagers taking their first exams, no matter how many mocks,

this is for real. the feeling of it like, on the day will be way different, because like a mock�*s a mock, like it's not the real thing. grades will be gently managed back down close to pre—pandemic levels. it had to happen eventually, maybe a little bit nerve racking that our year is the first year. it's going to be fair in terms of the results we get, but when you compare it to other years, with their grades, it's not going to be as fairas theiryears. what's the most important thing for you in terms of fairness this year? yes, i think that everyone getsj the grades that they have been putting in the work for and that like after all this disruption - that we can still manage to get like good grades. | key information, key ideas we will pull out from... last minute revision for gcse students. the school has put on extra lessons all year for teenages who went all year for teenagers who went through lockdowns and then the long

tail of covid disruption. the system put in place is meant to ensure a level playing field for everyone. but exams on their own can only capture what's happening. and we know that since the pandemic there's been a widening in the gap between the most disadvantaged teenagers and those from better off backgrounds. in charge of fairness is the regulator. so, i asked can exams take account of what's happened to different pupils? my heart goes out to anyone who suffered through the pandemic. i have seen myself what students have been through and i have seen how heroic schools have been, but at the end of the day qualifications will only serve students in the long—term if they are accurate reflection of what they know, understand and can do. so, for students in england this year, exam bes s will be spaced out. year, exam will be spaced out. gcse formulae and equations provided in some exams. in languages, no testing on unfamiliar words.

in each part of the uk, some measures to protect students are in place. and we get 2x equals 4... they don't face gcses until next year. by then the protections in place to take account of covid may have gone. branwen jeffreys, bbc news, loughborough. our top story this evening: a surprise visit by ukraine's president zelensky to win more support for the war against russia. and coming up, after arriving as a tiny baby, what life is like for five—year—old anwar in bangladesh's biggest rohingya refugee camp. coming up on bbc news... confusion at the top of rugby league, as france confirm they've pulled out of staging the 2025 world cup over concerns about the financial viability of the tournament. it's being seen as a disaster for the sport.

adult patients are being diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or adhd, after online assessments that are unreliable, a bbc investigation has found. an undercover panorama reporter was seen by three private clinics, which all diagnosed him with adhd and offered him powerful drugs even though a full in—person assessment by the nhs showed that he didn't actually have the condition. the clinics insist their assessments are thorough and that they follow national guidelines. rory carson reports. there's been a huge rise in the number of adults looking for adhd assessments. the nhs can't cope, so many are going private. we have been told some clinics diagnosed almost every patient. i want to know if that's true. first i need to know how an assessment should be carried out. are you ready to start?

yeah, let's get going. after more than a three—hour nhs assessment the consultant psychiatrist says i don't have adhd. i can't see any evidence that you've got a serious problem with your concentration, your hyperactivity or your level of activity or impulsivity. now i am going undercover as a patient at a private clinic called adhd 360. my online assessor is a pharmacist. within a minute he says he thinks i have probably got adhd. you are sure again you would have filled out a questionnaire online before that on the portal? yes. it says that you are right, you have adhd. guidelines from the national institute for health and care excellence say he should take a full psychiatric history. but that doesn't happen. after 75 minutes the pharmacist gives me a positive diagnosis.

so i can say across the board that you have adhd. 0k. he prescribes me powerful adhd drugs without making the proper checks. so that is just everything we have spoken about today. i confirm the diagnosis today of adhd. 0k. adhd 360 say its qualified clinicians deliver high—quality assessments that meet all best practices, but on this occasion its prescription policy was regrettably not followed and its procedures have been reviewed and enhanced. there is a similar story at two other private clinics. i pose as a patient and i'm quickly diagnosed with adhd online. thousands of these assessments are taking place and when you think about the scale of the number of people that potentially might have received an incorrect diagnosis, they might have started on medications inappropriately, the scale is massive.

there is no doubt adhd can have a profound effect and that many patients who go private will have the condition. but our investigation reveals how some clinics hand—out unreliable diagnoses. rory carson, bbc news. and you can see more on that story on panorama private adhd clinics exposed on iplayer now or on bbc1 at 8pm tonight. there've been multiple fires in two areas of dorset, regulator ofcom said it has launched an investigation into royal mail's failure to meet its delivery targets in the past year and could hand out a fine. the british delivery firm fell short of its performance targets for first and second class mail and deliveries. a ballot on industrial action by senior doctors in england opens today. the british medical association said pay talks with the government ended on saturday with a final offer

that was unacceptable. consultants' salaries range from between £90,000 and £120,000, but the bma says take—home pay has fallen by 35% since 2008. the competition and markets authority will investigate whether any failure in competiton is leaving customers paying higher supermarket prices than they should be. the watchdog has not seen specific concern, but food and drink prices were over 19% higher in march than they were a year earlier, the highest rate in 45 years. there've been multiple fires in two areas of dorset, as 13 cars were set alight overnight, with one fire spreading to a property. there were 65 emergency calls relating to the incidents in the wimborne and poole areas, as duncan kennedy reports. one after another, car after car, the burning spree played out for nearly three hours. in this one street, neighbours watched as three

vehicles were torched. it's multiple vehicles... in all, 13 were set alight in what appeared to be a random set of attacks. here, two vehicles were burned on the same driveway. their owners filmed as the fires took hold, one of them just yards away from another explosion. fire and rescue services scrambled to each scene as the 999 calls came in. the car on the left was owned by chloe, who this afternoon examined what was left of her nissan, which she'd only just bought. so ijust don't really have any words for it. just woken up in the middle of the night to be told my car's on fire. it's just absolutely crazy. dorset police say this was one of the worst cases a vehicle arson they've ever seen. the trail of destruction stretches for more than two miles ending up here in the centre of wimborne. police have asked for anyone

with cctv or dashcam footage to come forward to help with their investigation. no one was injured, but this quiet part of dorset witnessed criminal damage on a huge scale. duncan kennedy, bbc news, in wimborne minster. in bangladesh, nearly a million rohingya refugees living in the world's largest makeshift camp have narrowly avoided disaster from a cyclone which hit the coastline. aid agencies say it's another reminder ofjust how vulnerable rohingya refugees remain. the prime minister is calling on the international community to shoulder more responsibility. the rohingya muslims form one of several ethnic minorities in neighbouring myanmar. in august 2017, a crackdown by the army meant hundreds of thousands fled across the border into bangladesh, forming camps around cox's bazar. at the time the bbc told the stories of countless families who'd become refugees overnight.

this month, we were given special access to the camp. our south asia correspondent rajini vaidyanathan and her team report now on the story of anwar, a five—year—old boy who has only known life in the camps. born as his mother ran for her life. anwar siddique was just hours old when the bbc met them in a refugee camp. translation: when my baby used to kick me in my womb i used - to think that i would bring him to a beautiful and peaceful world. but that was 2017, so what became of baby anwar? he was one in a million in the world's largest refugee camp in bangladesh, home to rohingya families who fled violence in myanmar.

five years on, we went in search of him through a maze of tiny lanes. this is anwar�*s house, this one. ok, let's see. we found a wide—eyed yet shy little boy. anwar has two sisters. this one room is the family home. no windows for air, no toys to play with, barely any clothes. it is a miserable existence. translation: i want him to live like other children, _ i want him to be educated, have clean clothes and eat properfood, but i can't because i don't have anything. anwar�*s is a fragile existence. living in squalor he

is sick all the time. in march he nearly died of pneumonia. not too far from where anwar lives there is very little space to move here, with row after row of bamboo shelters crammed into this space. it is also hot and humid, so it is impossible to overstate just how claustrophobic these living conditions are. this is the tale of half a million children, a generation robbed of their rights and of an education. there are no formal schools inside the camps. for a couple of hours a day anwar visits a makeshift classroom, supported by the un. here he gets basic lessons. every child in this room is a refugee. the bangladeshi government doesn't allow them to be taught the local

curriculum or language. having hosted rohingya refugees for years, it wants them to return to myanmar, the country run by the very army their parents fled in fear. rohingya refugees rely on a monthly food budget from the un to survive. theirs has already run out. translation: what can i feed them? i don't have anything. i will have to borrow from others. so that is all the rice. from next month the money she gets is being cut again. she will have to feed her family on just £6 each. the world promised it wouldn't forget babies like anwar when this crisis began. but as he has grown the help these children are getting has fallen.

anwar�*s future was never going to be easy, but does it have to be this hard? rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news. several uk cancer charities are calling for vat on sunscreen to be scrapped, to make it more affordable. they say many people are choosing to go without, because of the rising cost of living. sunscreen is classified as a "cosmetic" in the uk and carries a 20% rate of tax — adding about £1.50 to the cost of a bottle. an ice cream parlour has changed the name of one its products after a "polite" request from marks & spencer. fabio's gelato, based in hitchin in hertfordshire, began making its percy pig ice cream last week, but the name was short—lived, as jon donnison explains. at fabio's gelato, they have churned out more than 500 flavours, but it's one particular porcine pot

that's posing problems. so, we created the percy pig flavour and then we straightaway received a letter from m&s explaining not to be using their name, their brand name. right, you've got the letter there? i've got the letter here. while they're flattered that we've been inspired to create a flavour based on percy pig, they'd be grateful if we could avoid using the name percy pig. they have been quite nice about it, did they send you a few sweets? yes, they have been brilliant about it, they sent us some bags of percy pigs. there were some more, but the kids have eaten them! and the pink little porker, brought to life here in one of m&s's christmas ads, is indeed one of the chain's biggest sellers. in a statement it said: although i imagine peppa might have something to say about that. the store adding: fabio though has decided that rather than pull the pork, his little piggies

will go to market, just with a rebrand. so we launched a competition on four facebook page. on our facebook page. there were hundreds of entries, one of the top ones was "hoggendas", but the winner was "notorious pig". as we like to say in advertising, different label — same great taste! time for a look at the weather. here's stav da naos. thank you. a decent start to the week, plenty of sunshine, although a chilly start. our weather watchers have been taking photographs. a gorgeous one here of cornwall. we will hold on to the sunshine through the week. a lot of dry weather and it will start to warm up a bit too. the nights won't be as chilly. the showers in the north and east will fade away. some cloud and rain in the north—west of scotland.
