that is a testament to the defence i that is a testament to the defence systems, including us in german anti—aircraft defence systems around here and also the resilience of the people of ukraine that are quite determined when they possibly can to get along with normal life. but the first night i arrived, on monday night, the largest attack the ever suffered from the air since the war began and hypersonic missiles, ballistic missiles, drones and other types of weapons were fired at kyiv very short space of time and everyone of them was knocked out of the sky by defence system which really shows the strength that the city now has and to a large extent of russian support and i would say that the following morning, although the city was back to normal by

against a tough enemy and those to say that they are not good fighters are mistaken, they make many mistakes but they are putting up a strong fight and bakhmut and ukrainians been putting up a very staunch defence and they've been fighting against mercenaries and regular russian soldiers and their enormous casualties taken on both sides of the message i get from ukraine and commanders that he spoke to is what they in dire need of his more support and they are very grateful, i have to say about the support they've added, including from the uk, but they do need more of it in particular, more drones and long—range missiles and ammunition for the artillery in this situation is probably the most effective weapon for both sides and the russians are out gunning the ukrainians bya russians are out gunning the ukrainians by a significant amount and they do need more.— ukrainians by a significant amount and they do need more. around the world and across _

7:48 pm
of my generation. and i'm happy to be in that support role but more than just be in that support role but more thanjust support, i be in that support role but more than just support, i think the basis very much key to the smith's sound, many of the songs will be built around the melodies on that base but i think the most important thing about andy, and i think asjohnny summed up in this tweet, what a beautiful human being he was. i do in the government and a bad word about him that's quite rare in the music scene. about him that's quite rare in the music scene-— about him that's quite rare in the music scene. , , ., ., ., ., music scene. give us a flavour, what was he like — music scene. give us a flavour, what was he like in _ music scene. give us a flavour, what was he like in your— music scene. give us a flavour, what was he like in your recollection? i was he like in your recollection? test incredibly sweet and disinterested in other people and very connected as well. and a lot of people of our generation totally love the music and other peoples music as well. it wasn't all me. and talking about how he's connected and interested in what they're doing as well. it's in our thing when you're a member of really iconic band but you're not quite in the middle of it and be content with that. i think

7:50 pm
more simpler baselines but it's incredibly effective. the melody of it is instantly in your head, and also its wings as well it does makes your body move and that's very important as well and there's a lot of ways using a bass guitar played in that period, the base was more than a back—up role, johnny is playing a bass guitar there but when andy is doing is playing the roof of the song and so, that is what sticks in your head and this item for the rest of the evening, most people walking around the house doing it. and it's like and also baseline and his swing to it and transformed into an indy song. they were great band sophisticated songwriters and that swing in the melody and moving the base and the back—up role almost like a lead role. this is bbc news. does pausing to

7:53 pm
56 nations titles including three grand slams and the tournament in 2019 and its debut in 2006 in the 52 times which is also a record and he reached to world cup semifinals and truck lanes tests including the last lions test and although with him being 37, he is also the chief for many years known as the finest in the game and it was a surprise even though he's done all these incredible things and absolutely surprised that he retired over time from international rugby because although he had done so much, he could've retired many times before i thought many people that he will retire after the last lions tour last year. and he could retire on a high after having achieved one of these wonderful things and becoming a captain of the lions test series
7:54 pm
but he didn't, he has kept going and suddenly, he is retired with the world cup coming into his four months' time and i'm jones were both named in the 54 man squad for whales in the training squad and that has to be whittled down to about 35 players and i think this is possibly the key to what's happened because none of us obviously no other than alun jones the none of us obviously no other than alunjones the macro to them why he has decided to put down his international career now and we are thinking that maybe, the wales head coach took over quite late last year and hasn't gotten time to build a team for this world cup in september in france, maybe he wants to place some younger players sick and build a squad for the next world cup so it takes about five years to build a rugby world cup squad and i think that they would not of been a part of that team for a world cup in four years' time in building for their future and so, maybe he doesn't want to be playing some of the order players for this world cup coming up but it is a shock because he is a
7:55 pm
brilliant player and he is a true leader and withjustin in the side, it's going to be a different looking whales team for that world cup in september. as a welshman, i could watch those pictures and celebrating a day, sadly, we have to finish with to leave it there but thank you very much for that. now it is time for the weather. hello. some parts of england and wales had some hefty downpours to contend with today. but over the weekend, actually, it's england and wales that will see the lion's share of the dry and sunny weather. and the sun is strong at this time of year. a little bit different for scotland and northern ireland here there will be more in the way of cloud and a little bit of rain at times, probably not a huge amount. now, on the earlier satellite picture, you can see this area of cloud in the west of the uk that turned the sunshine quite hazy. this was mainly high level cloud, a few blobs of shower cloud across central and southern parts. some of those showers continuing to drift.
7:56 pm
westwards actually through the evening into wales, south—west, england then dying away. but overnight we will see cloud and some splashes of rain getting in across northern ireland and parts of scotland. temperatures generally between six and 11 degrees. it mayjust get a little bit chillier than that in some parts of eastern england. tomorrow morning, across england and wales, a little bit of mist and low cloud, but that will clear quickly and then a lot of sunshine, just a touch of patchy cloud down towards the south. northern ireland and scotland will see more in the way of clouds, some splashes of rain, but probably not a huge amount. a little bit of sunshine perhaps in north—east scotland that'll make it feel warm. highest temperatures further south, 19, maybe 20 degrees
7:57 pm
for liverpool and for cardiff. but whatever the temperatures say on the thermometer, if you have sunshine overhead and england and wales particularly will many places will have high uv levels. so protect yourself if you're out for any length of time. during saturday night, this frontal system will pep up a little bit. so the rain across northern ireland and scotland will turn heavier, but only briefly into sunday. actually that rain will tend to ease off once again. still a lot of clouds, still a bit of dampness here and there. whereas for england and wales, quite a lot of sunshine, just a bit of patchy cloud here and there. a feed of winds in the north sea making it feel a little bit cooler for some eastern coast, but further west liverpool, up to 20 degrees. it will be a slightly cooler day in northern scotland. now into next week, this area of high pressure will dominate sitting to the south—west of us.
7:58 pm
broadly speaking, that will block the progress of any weather systems. there may be a little bit of rain at times in the north of the uk, particularly the north of scotland. but for most of us it is looking largely dry, patchy cloud and sunny spells. and while there won't be a heat wave, it'll feel pleasant in the sunshine.
7:59 pm
8:00 pm
hello, i'm nancy kacungira. this is the context. i am hopeful and confident that our partner countries will follow as they have done when we done this previously. that will make the sanctions more effective, and ensure that russia pays a price for its illegal activity. unfortunately, there are some in the world and here among you who turn a blind eye to those cages and illegal annexations. assad used to speak only two - friends, he was in moscow in march. but his rehabilitation carries a lesson for ruthless - authoritarian leaders, - wait out the storm and you can outlast your enemies.
