hello, i'm matthew amroliwala, welcome to verified live, three hours of breaking stories, and checking out the truth behind them. to some breaking news now, and nottinghamshire police have announced murder charges against a 31—year—old man after tuesday's events in which three people died in nottingham. they were stabbed to death. valdo calocane who is 31, has also been charged with the attempted murder after three people were hit with a van and injured. live now to simon jones in nottingham. valdo calocane will appear in front of magistrates tomorrow morning here in nottingham. the three back charges of murder relate to two students who were studying here in the city. they were found stabbed to

death at about four o'clock on tuesday morning. the third charge of murder relates to a school caretaker, 65—year—old ian coates. he too was found stabbed to death. it is then alleged that the suspect used his van to plough into three other people, who are out on the streets. that is what the free attempted murder charges relate to. as regards the suspect, he is 31 years old and police say he is of no fixed abode. we know he is a former student at the university of nottingham. he graduated from the university last year, having studied mechanical engineering. he is of dual nationality, portuguese and also from guinea—bissau, which is in west africa. because of his portuguese nationality, he was living here full—time in the uk, most recently under the eu resettlement scheme, so he has permission to live here and was a student here. tomorrow, he will be in court charged with three counts

4:04 pm
a huge outpouring of grief in the community, you can see from the flowers that have been left, people leaving flowers all day to mark the three lives that were lost. also taking a moment of contemplation, but in other ways, nottingham is starting to get back to some sense of normality. the market is open as normal today, and you might be able to hear that a band is playing there. it is no mark of disrespect in terms of what has happened with the deaths and the flowers, but a sense of people just trying to restore some sorts of normality here. . ~ ,, now to ukraine — lots to update you on because the capital kyiv has come under missile attack, at the same time as a delegation of african leaders arrived in the country, to discuss ways to end the war with russia. ukraine's foreign minister said, the message to africa was clear — russia wants more war, not peace. we'll have more on that visit, in a moment, but first the african
4:05 pm
we'll have more on that visit, in a moment. let me show you, some of the damage caused by that attack. ukraine's air force says it shot down a dozen rockets, including hypersonic missiles. at least two explosions were heard in the capital. live now to yalda hakim who's in a village on the outskirts of kyiv — where they're dealing with the aftermath of those attacks. good afternoon. just take us through the sorts of things you have seen, and what you have heard from the people there. and what you have heard from the peeple there-— and what you have heard from the --eole there. ., , people there. matthew, what has been extraordinary. — people there. matthew, what has been extraordinary. i — people there. matthew, what has been extraordinary, i have _ people there. matthew, what has been extraordinary, i have spent _ people there. matthew, what has been extraordinary, i have spent much - people there. matthew, what has been extraordinary, i have spent much of. extraordinary, i have spent much of my day here, and i have seen first of all, people absolutely shocked that by the facts of the area and this spillage has come under attack, as you see. most of the debris you are seeing and the damage is a result of the missile defence systems that are hard at work to deal with the air strikes. ijust like to see this area here. when you think about it, this attack took place just a few hours ago, and
4:06 pm
already, we are seeing an operation take place in this little street, this little village. people and the community are getting right in. neighbours are coming in to help one another out. wejust saw neighbours are coming in to help one another out. we just saw the military show up and they brought some roof panels that you can see just behind me over there. it is considerable damage done to the street. the house that you can see, which my cameraman will show you now, at to plumes of smoke when we arrived, and we were told that an 80—year—old woman lived there, she is being taken to hospital. this house, if we just come right around, you can see the damage to this vehicle. a boy was in this house on its own, and i went to speak to him to find out what had happened. i was told that his leg was injured. he managed to get into an underground bunker which saved his life. just have a listen.
4:07 pm
translation: | understood that | there's the missile because i heard the sound, like, you know, when a jet is flying, the specific sound, i recognise it. and i had understood i needed to hide somewhere. so i went to the shelter. and what were you thinking when you realised there was an attack? translation: well, - i understood that i can die. and what we all have here will... ..will be gone. will be destroyed. that's what i understood. is this something you've been feeling for the past year? translation: | never| felt so scared as today. it was for term time already. —— it was for some time already. but today it was
4:08 pm
something exceptional. and honestly speaking, i didn't understand what happened. and when did you phone your mum? how did you get in touch with your mum? translation: i called my mum when i went out of the bunker. because there was no connection in there. and i called my mum, but she also had no connection. then i wrote her a message and i also sent her a video and that's how she understood what happened and came here. you must have been petrified. translation: i was extremely scared | because i was not at home with him. | he was home alone. and you know what is funny, we quite often hear missiles, we hear drones flying above our village. and normally because it's happening for such a long time, normally, recently we started going to the cellar that we use as a shelter and we have a deep room in this house, that has the two—wall rule. so we follow the two—wall rule. and i'm so grateful to my son because even though he's 12 years old, he managed to make a decision. and if i would be home,
4:09 pm
we would probably stay in the house. but he made a decision and he went to the cellar for cover. matthew, that's mother telling me how proud she was of her son, who is just 12 years old but was able to quickly decide that no, he should move to the bunker. and that is really what saved his life. that is something that small children in this country for the past year have had to think about. this little boy did not have as parents at home, and his situation could have been very different. i know we had a connection issue. so ijust like to show you what we are seeing here. there are bits of the missile that are appearing. parts of the missile here in the street. this is the second time that this village has been attacked. i spoke to the authorities here a little earlier, and they said it is not something we are getting used to. it is not something we want to get used to. but when we know that those air raid
4:10 pm
sirens go off, this is another warning to the local fear that they need to move into the bunkers. we were speaking a lot yesterday about that defence ministers meeting in brussels where they were speaking about the f—16s, the training of fighter pilots. the ukrainians here are saying that that is great, that thatis are saying that that is great, that that is what is being offered to as by the west, buy partners and add eyes, but we need support right now. when they're having to deal with these air strikes every single day, while we've been here forjust over a week and a half, virtually every night, those air raids sirens go off, and people have no choice but to get into those bunkers. this is just a reminder here that while everything feels like it is normal, and they are far away from the epicentre of the fighting, that counter offensive which is taking place in the east and south of the country, the reality is that this is a country at war, and today it was the capital that was hit, even though they had very strong air defence systems that protect the
4:11 pm
capital, these things happen. and people are impacted. the community here says they are lucky, they have just had a few casualties, and they have had a few people who have been taken to hospital. no fatalities. but the situation in other parts of the country continues to be very different. , ., , . different. very graphic reporting there on the _ different. very graphic reporting there on the ground. _ different. very graphic reporting there on the ground. thank- different. very graphic reporting there on the ground. thank you | different. very graphic reporting i there on the ground. thank you so much for taking us through all of that. we will talk again a little later on today's programme. yalda hakim on the outskirts of the year. —— on the outskirts of kyiv. as i mentioned earlier, an african peace delegation is in ukraine — which includes leaders from senegal, zambia, and egypt, and is being led by the south african president, cyril ramaphosa. there's a lot of stake for african countries, which are are under pressure from soaring food prices — directly impacted by the war in ukraine. i have spoken to the senior director of the african centre at the atlantic council think tank. she

been left without water, and several schools were also forced to shut. your library bbc news. —— you are library bbc news. the appointments watchdog claims that borisjohnson told them about his newjob about half an hour before the announcement was made and before the committee could provide advice. on monday, mps will vote on whether to concludes the report which concluded he lied to parliament. they claim he asked them not to vote against its findings. let's speak to james heale — who is political correspondent with the spectator. in terms of that vote on monday, a lot of attention on it. what are you hearing in terms of your

4:27 pm
in the way of cloud and some showery rain grazing into western parts of the uk. that rain perhaps making a little more progress eastwards. further east, some clear skies, one or two mist patches, and it could again be a relatively chilly night across parts of north—east england and eastern scotland. that's where we'll see some of the best of the sunshine during saturday morning. further south and west, we see more in the way of cloud, we see some showers, possibly the odd thunderstorms here and there. temperatures as we go through saturday — well, still up to around 25 or 26 celsius in the sunniest spots, but a little bit cooler than it has been out towards the west, maybe 20 celsius, for example, in belfast. during saturday evening, still some of these showers, the odd thunderstorm across western parts. it stays mainly dry further east, but with a lot of low cloud close to north sea coasts. and then into sunday, we see this weather system running its way up from the south, and this could bring more in the way of showers and thunderstorms through the day on sunday, particularly, i think,
4:28 pm
across england and wales. where these showers and storms do crop up, they could give enough rain for some localised flooding. some frequent lightning, some gusty winds. northern ireland, south—west scotland seeing some of those as well. but there will always be places that fall through the gaps and stay pretty much dry. however, through sunday night, i think those showers and storms will become more widespread as they drift northwards across many parts of the uk. into the start of next week, still unsettled with some showers around at times. may turn drier in the south later in the week, and temperatures still above the average for the time of year.
4:29 pm
4:30 pm
this is bbc news. let's turn to our main had. a man is charged with murder three people on the streets of nottingham on tuesday. a wave of missiles has struck the ukrainian capital kyiv as a group of african leaders begin a peace mission calling the dialogue to end the war. hundreds of people are still missing after a migrant boat sank off the coast of greece. officials have denied reports that a rope attached by coastguards caused it to capsize. and a report finds the minneapolis police department used excessive force and discriminated against black people well before the murder of george floyd three years ago.
