it is 8:00. this is sky news breakfast and these are our top stories. accuses russia of endiscriminate bombing. and calling for face-to-face talks with moscow. >> translator: i want everyone to hear me now. especially in moscow. the time has come for a meeting. it is time to talk. good morning from ukraine,

with russian warships off the coast here of the black sea, the port city of odesa is bracing itself for when an invasion happens. and in kharkiv, a rescue mission trying to find one man. as for the weather, after a chilly start, saturday will be mainly fine, sunny and warm. and on the morning papers,. good morning, all. with cities taking an almost continual batter from russian artillery and aircraft, president zelenskyy says it is time to talk. he made a plea directly to moscow warning that russia's losses would take generations from which to recover. ukraine claims to have killed

another russian general, the fifth. but the city of mariupol remains under bombardment, now a focal point for both sides. let's run you through the latest departments. the foreign secretary has warned that russia may be using the peace talks as a smoke screen for war crimes adding that she is skeptical about negotiations. the u.n. migration industry says 3.2 million refugees have fled ukraine with nearly 6.5 million displaced. ukraine's defense ministry says that it killed a fifth russian general while fighting on russian forces yesterday. and in his nightly address to the nation, president zelenskyy says 9,000 people left the city of mariupol yesterday and reiterated his call for direct talks with russia. >> translator: i want everyone to hear me now. especially in moscow. the time has come for a meeting. it is time to talk. the time has come to restore

territorial integrity and justice for ukraine. otherwise russia's losses will mean that it will take you several generations to recover. >> and nick martin is in odesa in the south of the country, of course. and nick, let's reflect on that direct plea by volodymyr zelenskyy to the kremlin to have face-to-face talks. at the same time, of course, there have been negotiations ongoing in the margins. and negotiations that the foreign secretary is incredibly skeptical of. >> reporter: yes. and you can see both sides, both view points really. she is right to be sceptical of russia's intentions when it comes to peace talks. there have been almost daily peace talks with ukraine since the first week, but yet the bombing has continued, the killing has continued and the damage to all these cities has

continued. and so she might have a point when she says that there is an element of skepticism when it comes to russia's intentions about being serious for peace talks. at the same time, you can see volodymyr zelenskyy's point of view. he is a leader hold up in kyiv the last few weeks. he's spoken to the world, he's appealed to leaders, but it is not doing very much because he is still seeing his civilians die. look at what is happening in mar pal, this kharkiv, kyiv, mykolaiv. the bombing has continued. so he might be trying to find any route possible that might lead to cessation in this violence. and he has appealed to the kremlin for meaningful talks. what he means to say is talks that actually stop the bombing and killing because that has not

done any good. and so as a leader he is seeing his citizens die and he is saying, look, what can we do to just at least have a ceasefire so we can keep the humanitarian corridors open. thousands of people on the move, more than 3.2 million have left the ukraine in the last few weeks. it is -- the responses of kremlin will be interesting because they will probably say we've been having meaningful talks, trying to find a peace settlement but ukraine haven't been able to agree to something. so the war of words continues as well as the war on the ground. and we've seen some horrific scenes from mariupol reminiscent of allepo or syria, just destroying everything, whether a military target or not. and i'm afraid it is continuing at peace. and even though intelligence suggests that the russian military offensive is slowing down and some days even called

it stalling, you tell the people that in some of these towns where the bombs keep falling and their loved ones keep dying. >> and that as much as anything is why volodymyr zelenskyy is calling for face-to-face talks, that the destruction is that being wrought on his country is such that, if it continues for much longer, if we have another four weeks of this, how much of ukraine will generally be left? >> reporter: yes, and he sees on the sidelines that the big grand plan that he would like is to close the sky, a no-fly zone. and he knows that that won't happen. it is just too dangerous. worth reiterating why that is the case -- the nato countries can not police a no-fly zone over the ukraine they would say because if one of the nato planes comes in direct contact with a russian plane, then that would enact article v, that is one nato country gets attacked, they are all at war together.

and that could be disastrous. and volodymyr zelenskyy knows that the no-fly zone is not coming on the bottoms will keep falling. so he is trying to find whatever route he can to even slow down the amount of killing and the bombing. and so that is why he's saying, look, can we have talks that mean something, that could possibly bring about some kind of cease fire. if nothing else, to buy himself some time. but ultimately to stop the war. >> nick, many thanks. a little earlier i spoke to one of the ukrainian government's political advisers and he told me about the desperate situation on the ground for civilians. >> it is a big tragedy for ukraine, a misery for hundreds of thousands, for millions of people. as you rightly said, 3 million people became refugees. we have hundreds of thousands of people still besieged in some cities like mariupol without water, heat, food.

we also have thousands of people, innocent people, killed including more than 100 children. and yet three weeks ago it was completely peaceful, prosperous and joyful country. >> let's bring in the shadow defense secretary joining us now. good to see you, mr. healy. and just listening there, you get the impression that there is a realization among many ukrainians, perhaps many who have even fled the country, that unless there is a way to bring about an end to the violence, there is going to be much, much more of that country that is destroyed by continuing bombing and as a result more civilian casualties including children. >> yes, it is very grave on the ground. as we heard from the report from odesa, as well. i met with four ukrainian mps

and they talked about horror stories from their own constituencies. and mariupol they said is destroyed more badly than owe a allepo was. but also the ukrainian resistance is getting fiercer.o allepo was. but also the ukrainian resistance is getting fiercer.w allepo was. but also the ukrainian resistance is getting fiercer.e allepo was. but also the ukrainian resistance is getting fiercer. allepo was. but also the ukrainian resistance is getting fiercer.a allepo was. but also the ukrainian resistance is getting fiercer. allepo was. but also the ukrainian resistance is getting fiercer. they describe the british military assistance to ukraine for their fight as a super power. and so that is why we need to step back up and why the british government has had full support from the start. >> what do you make of the comments from the former secretary about the negotiations that have been taking place? yes, volodymyr zelenskyy is calling for face-to-face discussions and that may well bring about more of an advance toward an end goal of peace.

but those negotiations in her mind are a smoke screen for the war crimes which we've been apparently seeing pretty regularly in south ukraine. >> she is right about the war crimes. that is clear. and the international criminal court has launched an investigation that i'm glad britain is now fully supporting. president zelenskyy has said that it is time to talk. there has to be at some point a ceasefire and serious negotiations. i hope that we are getting close to that point thousand. and the stronger the ukrainian resistance, the more the russians take casualties and find the effort problems to resupply their troops, keep morale up, closer perhaps those negotiations will come. but for now we have to support the ukrainians, we must hold

fast on the sanctions against russia so that they begin to bite. and whatever short term gains that vladimir putin and his invasion makes, he must lose and fail in the long run. >> i do wonder whether you feel that there is a bar above which atrocities would demand an external response. are there crimes that we could see in ukraine which would lead tos us, a moral imperative, for us to intervene? does the chicago dock strin doctrine still stand in essence? >> the starting point is that russia is a member of the five countries, poland, united nations security council, and yet it has violated international law and conventions by this invasion, would you its indiscriminate killing of civilians.

now, there has to be the strongest possible warnings to putin about any further escalation of violence, particularly directed against civilians. but you know, politicians like me, leaders in government, are active parts of this. and we can't simply be commentators. and one of the responsibilities in my view is to avoid the escalation and rhetoric that raises fears and concentrate on the pressure that we can bring together with unity through nato, unity through west, increasing isolation of putin and his regime on russia to implement a ceasefire, open up the humanitarian corridors that allow people to get out, and basic supplies to get into places like mariupol, and seriously negotiate a long term peace that allows ukraine to prosper in the long run.

>> and before we let you go, you have written about the problems that the ministry of defense has experienced the past few years viewing the situation through the prism of ukraine. you say that you would offer the government support if they chose to increase defense spending. can you put a if i go on that, can you see how much you wish to see spending increase? i'm speaking to the lithuanian ambassador to the uk yesterday, they are increasing their defense spending to 2.5% of gdp, not what we do in this country. >> it is hard to make that detailed call. but look, germany has doubled its defense spending in this year. in britain, we're still cutting troops, tanks, ships. and the government has clearly got to respond to the uk and european security from this invasion just as labor in government did after the 9/11 terror attacks when we boosted

defense and security spending, doubled it. and introduced the longest increase for two decades. so if the government is ready to boost defense, then it will continue to have labour support. >> great to have you on the program. >> thank you. and now, to a rescue mission which illustrates ukraine's defiance. yesterday in the city of kharkiv, a missile struck a government building. but there might be someone in the rubble. and so they ignored air raid warnings all to try to find one man. >> reporter: the city of kharkiv looks battered and bruised. every street and every neighborhood has been touched by war. but there are some districts here that have been blown to

bits. at 8:15 in the morning, a russian missile sliced through the national institute for public administration. its three story reception hall was reduced to a pile of dust. the fire department pulled one lifeless body from the debris and said 11 others have been injured. and then they received a telephone call from someone stuck under the rubble. they are digging furiously. some with their bare hands. but they have so much work to do. there was a man in a crawl space encased by bricks and concrete slabs, but a rescue worker called daniel thought he knew where he was.

can you tell us what you saw? they used shovels and buckets and their bare hands, for it is well below freezing. and the rescuers knew the man under the rubble wouldn't make it through the night. but they have had little rest over the past three weeks. and the tension was clear. give me a blade that cuts wood, not a blade that cuts metal, said this rescuer. give me that one, he begged. they worked under near constant shelling with plumes of smoke marking the sky.

the russian military says that it doesn't target towns and cities, but the streets of kharkiv say otherwise. the sirens are going and most of the search and rescue team are heading for cover. we're going to go with them. but there is still a few people who remains at the building trying to get the man out. and a few minutes later, the man was released from his tomb. how are you, i asked. better than ever. but i want a smoke, he said. and his rescuers were quick to oblige. did you panic, we asked? not really, he said, i was just trying to protect my head. have you got anything to say to the people who rescued you? what would you like -- >> thank you so much.

he is a fortunate man. the search and rescue team are needed in every single neighborhood. but when they heard his voice, they wouldn't give up for the man and the city he lives in. john sparks, sky news, in kharkiv. emergency services have confirmed that all four people on a u.s. military plane which crashed yesterday have lost their lives while taking part in nato exercises. the crew were involved in the called response at military exercises featuring 30,000 people from nato and partner nations. president biden has warned president xi jinping of the consequences beijing faces if it

supports russia's war in ukraine impeach the pair spoke for almost two hours. and xi jinping insisted that the conflict needed to end as soon as possible. dozens of empty prams have been laid out part of the campaign to highlight the children who have died. and this morning ukrainian officials have said the number of children killed in the violence has risen to 112. familiar face for you, that is david cameron sitting behind the wheel, he has revealed that he is on his way to poland to deliver a van-full of supplies to ukrainian refugees. he shared this picture of himself at the wheel of what he will be driving along with two colleagues. and three russian cosmonauts have arrived at the international space station for a mission that continue as 20 year shared u.s./russian presence in orbit.

however russia warning that the u.s. would have to use broom sticks to fly into space after russia said that it would stop supplying rocket engines. boris johnson has said that the uk has an amazing record of taking in refugees and insists that we're welcoming a growing number into the country. and the pm faced questions put forward by readers of a children's news paper. >> do you feel bad that the uk hasn't taken in more refugees when you know some places like poland and neighboring countries have taken in close to 2 million? >> the uk didn't have a border, so we haven't received the first wave, but we are taking many more now as people decide to come on to the uk. and that is right. we have an amazing record as a country for taking people in. >> and you can see the full

interview on fyi throughout the weekend here on sky news. and coming up shortly in fact at half past 10:00. and that is also available to watch on sky kids. war in ukraine is putting ever more pressure on the uk's farming industry. costs are rising and farmers are feeling the pinch. becky johnson reports on what all that might mean for consumers. >> reporter: the peace of the english countryside feels far removed from the horrors of war. and yet consequences of the conflict are being felt here. the prices of fertilizer and animal feed have almost doubled in the last three weeks as the war has disrupted exports from russia and ukraine. and the price of fuel is rising every day. >> i don't think anybody in high generation has ever seen anything like this. i think that there is real concern for food shortage in the

uk. actually the amount of food and choice and the price and affordability will be a big, big challenge. >> reporter: in recent years, the impact of brexit, labor shortages and the pandemic had already put significant pressure on farmers. but the shock of the last few weeks means michael and many others have reached a point where they are producing at a loss. >> you've got to look at how you can generate cash, so we've sent some cows away early, slaughter, just to bring in a bit more cash. and we're looking at every possible route to do that. >> this is a dairy farm, so cut being the number of cows means less milk. but farmers are warning of decrease in production across all sectors. it could be cheaper to leave fields empty than attempt to grow crops. that could mean a shortage of fresh british produce. >> everyone will be picking up i suspect a little bit of the costs along the way. and some of that will be passed

along to consumers because simply there isn't anyone else to absorb it at the moment. and, you know, as these prices continue and costs continue to rise, prices rising on the shelf become inevitable. >> reporter: and they are working on a food strategy to address the issue, but only deshl price rises will add to families already struggling to make ends meet. becky johnson, sky news. and jackie, what have you got? >> do you want to watch rugby. >> no. >> i don't know if you watched yesterday, but something magical happened where, you know, a superstar in a sport becomes just a general world superstar. and i think that is what happened. having won the gold cup yesterday, an amazing day for female sports people everywhere. and we'll be talking about that and chelsea in a second. elsea i.

we'll start with football and chelsea will multiple bids have been submitted to buy the club from abramovich. including a consortium led by sir martin braton. and abramovich was sanctioned earlier this month with the clib club currently operating on a special restrictive license. >> to start i am a fan and i think that it is important that we have a great deal of fan involvement in this. we can bring stability and that is an important aspect of having

a consortium. and united took a big step as a stoppage time goal helped them to the win after trailing 2-nil, and they came back to score three goals including the stoppage time winner. crucial in their bid to remain in the premier league. and history was made yesterday as rachel blackmore became the first rider to win the gold club. she was on board the pair who had finished second 12 months ago. but this time went one better and took the big prize. new formula 1 season is under way and there are worrying signs for lewis hamilton who finished just ninth fastest in practice for tomorrow's grand prix. the man who picked him for the

championship last season was quickest was looking very comfortable comfortable. and also the cricket ters are on day three. 288-4 at the close. and they still trail england by 219 runs with two days to go. and in tennis, nadal will take on the teen in the semifinals of the paribas open. and tonight's other semifinal sees rublev competing against

taylor fritz. and here is the action from the women's cricket world cup as india take on australia. and we'll be going live to bahrain to talk about the first grand prix of the season very shortly in the next hour. see you then. see you then and after the break e'll be joined by the conservative party co-chair. joined by the conservay co-chair even when her bladder leaks. our softest, smoothest fabric keeping her comfortable, protected and undeniably sleek. depend. the only thing stronger than us, is you.

welcome back. reminder of our top stories. volodymyr zelenskyy is calling

for direct talks with moscow to avoid further blood shed. former secretary has warned that rushish sha russia is using peace talks as a smoke screen. and russia defense ministry claims that it has killed a fifth russian general. as ireland continues to welcome refugees, one family has taken in no fewer than 11. and steven murphy has the story. >> reporter: this is mom, dad, mom-in-law and three kids. at least it was. and now this is the new family now that they have taken in no fewer than 11 ukrainian refugees.

the host is originally from belarus but with many ukraine jab relatives, she knew that she had to get them out of the country and into her family home in ireland. >> they are still feeling the shock of course because their husbands are still in ukraine. so every day they are on a video call. the girls know every day -- they are crying. >> they left everything. hard working families, everything is destroyed because of one guy, putin. >> reporter: and they actually took in 14 refugees but tlooes three have since moved to poland. but even at 11, it is the most

known. and it is tempered by gratitude for their new home. >> i feel very good. safe. thank you for all the support, help. really great people in ireland. >> reporter: and there are still loved ones she wants to help. >> i have another part of my family, my brother -- >> her brother is a belarusian soldier. she is desperate to get him to ireland before he is potentially ordered into battle. there is plenty of space and plenty of donated supplies. but the search is on for more long term accommodation. for now it is the good natured chaos of a warm family home a million miles from the horrors of war. steven murphy, sky news.

and we've certainly got the weather for it, so let's head to where the conservative party spring conference is under way. and i'm joined by the co-chairman. great to have you on the program. it is a beautiful day, isn't it. i hear that you have already been enjoying yourself in blackpool and channeling your inner alan bradley enjoying a tram as well. >> yes, hello and good morning. it is a wonderful sunny day in blackpool. i think i remember being with you in 2007 for the conservative party conference when we were last here. and i too was thinking about the curvails as i was driving that tram. and to demonstrate the wonderful things that blackpool has to

ever. and it is about us investing with the 40 million pound towns fund. >> and rightly done. but let's talk about a couple other big stories. the situation in ukraine seems to be getting ever more bloody. the intelligence tells us that the russians are not making the strategic gains that they want, but we understand that every day that passes brings more destruction and loss of life. do you think that there is the potential for a negotiated settlement? >> it is an appalling situation in ukraine and my heart goes out to all of those who are suffering under pew ten's boot. i hope that we can get to a negotiated settlement, but i share the foreign secretary's comments about putin's motivations in respect to this given that he in an almost entirely unprovoked way invaded a democratic sovereign nation in europe and is proceeding to k3

possess to the most appalling brutality. >> and you former second and the armed forces minister, you are in order holding back in the language that you are using to characterize the actions that the russians are taking in ukraine. but so far no one has felt comfortable doing that which the president has describing putin as a war criminal. i just wonder why. >> well, we are actually conducting a lot of work to make sure that we can hold putin and his allies and cronies properly to account. so the justice secretary has been over to the hague, he is working with his allies in countries like the united states, france, germany and elsewhere to make sure that these crimes are held properly to account. we have to establish the evidence for that. and i completely share the sentiment of the american president and others of the appalling abuses conducted by

putin, but we need to establish the evidence. >> and you are a father like me. and any suggestion that there have been children killed as a result of indiscriminate shelling like what we're seeing in mariupol and other places, that must cut you to the quick. and it does beg the question, is there a level of atrocity that we are willing to accept, sort of a level of atrocity that we are not willing to accept, that there is a line that would to lead to direct british involvement in ukraine if it is crossed? >> well, it is totally disgusting and i'm sickened to the core as you are and i'm sure your viewers are at the brutality shown by the putin regime. and what we're actually doing is making sure, and werpt first country pretty much in the world major countries, to ensure that weaponry was provided to the ukrainian forces so that they are able to properly defend themselves. in terms of direct united kingdom ministry, it is not a nato country so i do think that we need to be careful about

crossing that line. >> so can we talk about the events in and around the organization, when did the government first become aware that p and owing o was about to sack thousands? >> i think that it is disgraceful the kind of conduct that we've seen from p&o. we don't expect to see these kind of sharp practices. and my thoughts are very much with the people who worked for p&o who have given so much of their lives to support a great brand, one that we all took pride in in this country. we were given notice very, very late, a junior official level, the night before, which did not allow time for action to be taken. but since then, the transport secretary and business secretary have made clear that we will hold them properly to account. that is why the insolvency service is looking to conduct it

properly and legally, reviewing contracts that the government has with p&o and whether they are complying with health and safety requirements with the new crew. >> but there will be those particularly among the 800 that have lost their jobs who wonder why if the government were informed on a wednesday evening of this decision, efforts were not made at the very highest level in government to get in touch with the ferries and tell them not to do this. were any phone calls made by ministers to the p&p&o manageme? >> to my understanding -- obviously i'm not in the department responsible for it. but it was not raised to ministers ahead of the actual announcement. but that is actually characteristic of the approach that we have seen from p&o, a complete lack of engagement over it. it is this kind of shock practice that has so infuriated

both the employees, british public at large and the government. but no doubt that the government stands ready to take that robust action. we're establishing exactly the facts of what they have done and determining appropriate action. >> so what robust action is available to the government to take? they took 10 million pounds in furlough money, so can we get that being about a. and we also have a number of contracts with the ferries. will they be immediately rescinded. what is the strategy if it is the case that p&o ferries have not acted legally? >> so we're looking at a number of avenues. first of all, we do have leverage over the company in respect to the contracts that the government has both with m&d and we're reviewing those contracts. but we need to get to the exact facts of what happened. that is why we've asked the insolvency service to do that.

once we've fully established the picture, we'll be better able to judge what further action we can take. but i don't want you or your viewers to be left in any tout about the seriousness with what the government takes it or the robustness with which we're willing to deal with it. >> a number of people have pointed out that late last year admittedly on a labour private members bill, large members voted against legislation that would ban firing and retiring practices. so what does it say about this government's commitment to workers' rights that given the opportunity to stop companies like p&o from behaving in that manner, we didn't take it? >> well, again, this is why we are -- we've got the insolvency services looking at the facts of what happened. as you've suggested, i don't

believe that that may have been the case in respect of these instances at pp&o. it was a piece of private members bill legislation. you wouldn't expect the government to be backing private members bills. but we have taken a lot of actions to support workers. so for example increasing the national living wage significantly. this year i think that you will see 1,000 pounds increase in their income as a result before so government is taking action. >> let's conclude on the conservative party spring conference. back in 2007, we both liked to be at seaside. and a few others who submitted letters might be making the trip. do you detect that that nascent rebellion is beginning to die away? we've seen the leader of the scottish conservatives

withdrawing his letter of confidence. and others perhaps doing it. >> yes, i think that people realize these are very, very serious times. and they are seeing how the prime minister is leading the free world in response to the ukraine in crisis and they are realizing that the prime minister at this time needs the backing of his party and they are giving him that. and that is a trend that we're seeing across the party and a very welcome within. >> and we'll let you get on and enjoy your weekend. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. time to catch up with our back stage host on the latest podcast, you can tell us what is worth watching this week. and i'm joined by bethany. how are you doing some. >> i'm doing good. nice and sunny today. >> and there are normal people in a film this time?

>> something a bit less sunny, the film "fresh" about noah is navigating the unsavory dating world, we see her going on a date with possibly the worst date ever. and lo and behold, she neats a guy in a fruit and veg aisle and she asks for her number and it appears that it will be going well. wrong. it may be on disney plus, but don't be fooled by it. it is very much about, yes, the awkwardness of online dating. but it is also about the daily fears that women face in their lives. and this is really timely. clearly we've just marked the one year anniversary of the murder of sarah everhart here in the uk and that channelled the frustrations and anger about violence towards women.

and it is those themes that the film channels through a female lens. and a very different performance here for fans. and we asked what she thought was at the heart of this film. >> one thing that drew me, a chance to in a really subtle way and using sort of the genre and social thriller aspect of to kind of explore just the general anxieties of being a woman and dating. and how much that you try to put yourself out there and let your guard down but also sort of the general day to day fears that we experience even just walking home late at night. there is a scene where she walks home with a key in her hand. and it has become normalized so we don't really question how we live with those anxieties. we shouldn't have to. >> and i have to admit, i'll be

spending quite a bit of the day watching myself. i was a late comer, but what a scene this is. >> and it has had a mixed past. first two series were on channel 4 and then it was got read of much to the shock of many fans. but then thanks particularly to one very high profile fan, drake, it came back. he pitched it to l.a. netflix and they said yes, it was sort of their top ten programs of 2019. and now back for a second series on netflix. this of course is based in london, but we're also coming out of east london and going a bit further. and i did chat about his role and what he saw for the show. but we also had to ask him about his co-star from the sky 1

series bulletproof which of course is no more because of course there were allegations against him of bullying, sexual harassment, all of which he denied. but it was watershed moment of the "me too" moment here in the uk. so we asked whether he thought that the tv world had made any progress since then. >> the industry has learned lessons on a daily basis when it comes to, you know, "me too" and a lot of the other things that have come to our attention. and i think i guess it is just for all of us to just really like understand, you know, creating safe environments for people to be able to tell their truths and to tell what they are going through. i think that is one of the main things that i would say going forward kind of with any show that i'm involved with is just, you know, there needs to be that space for people to be able to

talk about what they are going through, whatever that may be. >> bethany, just give us an idea of how significant this series will be. as you say, a checkered history, moved around, channel 4, net flix, but it has been a bit of a revolution. . >> and fans were pleased to see it come back. it may have a bigger budget than previously. but it will keep those authentic east london roots and i think that is important to remember. it is definitely one to check out. and if you haven't watched it before, catch up and dive in. >> thank you for now. stick where you are. after the break, we'll run you through the papers once again.

here once again to take you through the papers. and our journalists are joining us. good to see you. there is a story online with the guardian. i had to do a double take. finally the united states representatives appear to be catching up with the 21st century. >> oh, yes. so the u.s. house of representatives have passed a bill yesterday, creating respect for an open world for natural hair. and this bill basically bans race-based discrimination against black people with natural hair style. democratic representatives put it forward and they were citing a resurge that black students

with natural hair faced discrimination and detention at school. and so they have passed this bill through the house of representatives that basically bans that kind of discrimination. and it still has to go through the house and senate and that could be an uphill struggle. but it really is an important bill to get passed. in fact if you google unprofessional hair style, all that come up are the natural hair styles afro hair styles. so this bill goes a long way to try to negate that and bust the myth that natural black hair styles are in some way unprofessional or not deemed fit for school. so this goes some ways doing that. >> and thomas, in your story, putin party, ukraine burns. >> the contrasts are so striking. we were seeing the photographs of moscow, those rallying,

compare that to the devastation left in the wake of his army's shelling in ukraine. and so that russia is changing tactics to a war of attrition, intelligence chiefs saying that it will involve in-discriminal indiscriminate shelling and saying that while they are in the street, this city is reduced to dust. if you look back at the work of the russian army, their response to containment or even occupying cities has been to reduce to dust. so it doesn't matter to putin whether these are cities as he so claims that are substantial to some sort of russian cultural identity, if they do not bend, he will reduce them to nothing and wipe them off the mmap. so i just thought that image was
