good morning. the mayor of mariupol says thousands of residents have been forcibly taken to russia. a practice he compares to the second world war. vadym boichenko -- people will be forcibly taken to another country. while sky can't clarify the claims, russia said that it sent convoys of buses to remove people from the city. ukraine's president says what's happening in mariupol will go down in the history of war crimes. let's take a look at the latest development. staying in mariupol, ukrainian forces are close to losing control of the key as off style steel plant, one of the largest of its kind in europe. ukraine security and defense council house announced a ban on pro-russian political parties, including a major opposition party, holding nearly a tenth of all the seats

in the parliament. un's refugee agency says six and a half million people have been displaced within the country since the invasion started. that's on top of the 3.3 million refugees who fled. in recall live, the search continues for marines. -- dozens are already feared dead. from then, nick martin has our first report on a warning. it does contain pictures of dead bodies. >> they were killed while they slept. two rockets, which hit these military barracks with devastating accuracy. the bodies of around 50 soldiers, possibly more now buried under rubble. many were new recruits, who recently enlisted to fight this war. alexander says he was sleeping here when the russian missile struck. >> there was no more air to breathe. i put on this mask and sat down

close to the floor, took my gun and turned on the lights on my phone. it wasn't until i got outside that i realize what had happened. >> it's possible that the death toll could be as much as 200. for now, fellow soldiers are left to pick through the debris, trying to identify their fallen friends. mykolaiv is a port city, one of several caught up in a battle for the south, which appears to be intensified. in mariupol, a city surrounded by russian aggression, there's not much left. homes, cars, streets destroyed. >> when i left mariupol, it was the eighth day of the invasion. it felt like tomorrow's brutal hell, but now, what they do now, what russians do now, is just complete extermination of the whole city and the civilians.

>> there are reports of street fighting. russian troops are said to be moving closer to the heart of the city and those left to defend it are desperate. >> leaders of the u.s. in france, you promised us air defense systems. all we received is not it. look at the city. this is only part of the city that's been destroyed by the enemy planes, by the plans of russia. you promised there would be help. give us that help. >> the obliteration is a stark symbol of what this war is becoming. a war of attrition, destroy to conquer. ukrainians are left hoping that peace talks will amount to something, before more cities end up looking like this. nick martin, sky news, ukraine. sky news,>> speaking of the ni, ukraine's president said that the siege of mariupol will be remembered for years to come,

in what he's calling war crimes by russia's military. >> the blockade of mariupol will go down in the history of responsibility for war crimes. to do this, with the peaceful city, as they occupiers did, is a terror that will be remembered for centuries to come. the more ukrainians talk about it to the world, the more we find support, the more russia uses terror against ukraine, the worse the consequences for it. >> the ministry of defense, here in the uk, has released its latest update on the war. it tweeted saying that the ukrainian air force an air defense forces are continuing to effectively defend ukrainian airspace. it also says that russia has failed to gain control of the air and is largely relying on weapons that they can launch from the airspace to strike targets in ukraine. the m.o.d. ads that russia's continued failure to gain control there has blunted their operational progress.

cities like mykolaiv, in the south of the country, have been a key target. russian tactics means it's not just troops that are suffering heavy losses, here's alistair bunkall. >> and the south, we're seeing both the strength and weakness. it's a weakness, because it has failed to poise ground troops in an effective manner. take the capital kyiv, it's filled to encircle crave. it's failed to take the capital. what we see happening in the south, of bombardment of the cities with indiscriminate dumb bombs, as they're called. bombs that have no position to them. they're attacking civilian and military targets. and there is no real care. it's a tactic in order to breake that they will then be able to go in. that is russia's military weakness, if you like. the fact that it had to resort to those tactics.

there is also a strength, albeit unpalatable strength. that is that russia, despite all the losses is taken, despite the resistance, has considerable depth of artillery and artillery reserves that it can call upon. western intelligent officials that i've spoken to believe they could continue that tactic, that tactic of bombardment of cities, indiscriminately, for a considerable length of time. we are talking weeks. as i say, despite ukrainian resistance and despite the success, in some areas, this conflict, potentially, could go on for a lot longer. >> millions of refugees have been fleeing the fighting and heading to poland. now, for some, the draw to be

back home is outweighing the considerable risk they know they will face if they return. skies mark stone reports now from the border with poland, where he's been speaking to some, including women and children, who are heading back into ukraine. >> the train station in this polish border town is where you will find most of the refugees. they arrive daily and with them, mixed emotions. the relief that safety brings, but uncertainty two and a longing for the homes of left. sonia is just a teenager but has a rule beyond her years. the ticket is for a journey with her younger cousins, westwood there from kharkiv, a city destroyed.

they arrived two weeks ago, now they're draw to be home outweighs the considerable risk they know the face. i just want to go home, lisa tells me. when you're at home, everything is better. nearby, we meet valentina. you brought your mom, and baby to safety and now you will go back? >> yes. >> a reno and her husband went on holiday to asia before the invasion. now they're back with no hesitation. how are you feeling about going back? >> good. i'm glad. >> glad to be with your family again? >> yes. >> you will stay there and your family will stay? >> yes. >> lots of people are leaving now, but you want to stay? >> yes, we will stay. >> tell me why. >> because as my country. >> so many stories, so many different emotions and one war which drives many away and yet pull some back. mark stone, sky news, on the polish ukrainian border.

neck injuries and despite being treated was pronounced dead. a little more detail has emerged, she hasn't been named but the detective she can spent or, who's leading the investigation said that the police believed that she was studying at city university of london. also, the early indications, so far, show that the victim may have been in a relationship with maher maaroufe and they have been together. that case is obviously raised concerns amongst people living in the block. they woke up to police in the building and we're being told not to leave their wombs. we spoke to one person, who lived in that block yesterday. here is what she had to say. >> i think it's dangerous in london, i didn't expect something like that to happen in the building where i live. i feel really scared and i'm not sure whether i want to stay here anymore because it is really scary. >> so that woman there voicing

her fears, in this case, the killing of a woman in london, this comes a year after the murder of another woman. this raises concerns again about women safety. like i said they have named the name of the man that they would like to speak to in connection to this case. >> okay shingi mararike, thank you so much. we are in the midst of a biggest cost of living crisis in a generation and it is those with disabilities who are being particularly hit hard. sky news has spoken with families and they say they are driven into debt trying to avoid anything from extra washing to the electricity needed to power machines. our reporter has more. >> for hours each night, these lights dance around this room. >> the lights calm him. it brings him back down.

necessities just to survive a quickly becoming unaffordable. shawnee who has a bone disease spends 2000 pounds adapting her car just to be able to drive it. >> i have raised petals, and a raised footplate. >> every basic needs comes with added expense. >> i do work but i feel like i'm also having to always over compensate, i feel like i can't say no to things, i have to say yes to everything. how long will i be able to work for? and when i look at the support that is available, it's not great. >> the government says eligible families will get a discount two bills in autumn's, and schemes like the cold weather payment will help those with uncertain benefits, some say it's not specific enough to meet the needs of disabled people. >> the offset of cause will be great, but nowhere near isn't going to scratch the surface of how much disabled people will have to dispense in the next couple of months to live. >> the unavoidable extra cause

when i grew up here, it was such a fabulous home. my mom and dad put so much work into it, there was a garden in a fountain. >> living in the u.s. for 28 years, a middle wants to return to her hometown to look after her elderly parents, but she can't find a place to live. >> it's very frustrating. i'm constantly on hold with a real estate agents, and there's nothing out there. there is zero. completely zero! >> and balloon, row a town of just 2800 people, there are hundred and 99 vacant properties and zero homes to rent. >> unfortunately, there are no properties -- and we have a huge amount -- of people looking for rentals, unfortunately, no supply. >> ireland, in the middle of a housing crisis, has a huge number of empty homes, around 122, 000, and a country were only 20,000 new homes are built

each year. it has the highest number of houses anywhere in ireland. as long as this -- vacant houses. this is a national issue. ireland is one of the highest vacancy rates in the world. so, what's being done about it? the government likes talking about carrot and stick. the carrot is a new grant of up to $30,000. the stick has been talked about for years, but hasn't arrived yet. why do we still not have a vacant property tax? >> it's a good question. we will this year, but there are many other homes, new and existing, that are not being used. we will be bringing forward attacks on vacant properties. that's part of the stick approach with the carrots, which is the grant. i get the frustration. i'm frustrated myself. in relation to it, but we're going to do something about it. it will be as soon as possible. >> for now, the bizarre situation will continue. a country that simply doesn't

have enough homes to meet demand, where tens and tens of thousands of houses lie empty and unused. stephen murphy, sky news. >> it may be touching 30 degrees and believes around this time of year, but it was a frosty reception for the duke and duchess of cambridge. their visit to the central american country was met with protests. it comes with growing scrutiny in the continue involvement with the monarchy -- some nations said to be considering -- barbados's lead in removing their lead as the. -- of the history of city university of london. good morning, thank you for talking to us. this isn't the headline that they want out of this, is it? >> it's not. when they landed this morning, they did have a salute, so all the official ceremony, but behind that was a protest which

-- this was a planned visit to a small village, where the duke and duchess's helicopter was going to land, and this was seen as inappropriate because the locals haven't been consulted. they change their plans -- sense of colonial protest. this idea that the duke and duchess fly in, without proper consultation, it seems, with this particular community. that was pushed back. as you say, this doesn't formalize your question of whether the bonds that have tied these caribbean countries -- now there's eight of them, after barbados became a republic -- whether these caribbean countries want to continue their relationship with the crown. this tour that the duke and duchess are on --

some say this is a charm and offensive attempt to boost and support their other -- of visit to thank -- and her platinum jubilee. it remains to be seen the effect of this visit, and whether the duke and duchess can turn the tide of growing populists -- which is suggesting that it is time to end the historic wings of the crown. >> it's interesting, do you think it was the queen visiting, she'd have the same reception? >> it's a very interesting question, which i'm researching at the moment. the queen has had a long relationship as head of state with these countries, as she has -- there has been some sense, in recent months and years, that perhaps the time is right to review this relationship. that's also being very much informed by the wind rush

protests. there was a sense -- which took place in the midst of the wind russia scandal, that the queen should've spoken up about this, because although she was the uk had state, she was also the head of state of the countries in the caribbean. but maybe the queen got that wrong and she dropped the ball and should've said something. there's a number of reasons why she wouldn't have done. not just because it would be seen as a comment on the british government, but for some people in those countries this wasn't what they wanted from the head of state -- they'd be extreme pomp and pageantry and, all kinds of parades. for some people, this can be a reason to protest. -- >> it's interesting, is this and to -- the monarchy is the head of state. is that something specific to the caribbean? do you see that across the

country? a lot of people saying australia -- they will also go that way. >> it's an interesting question. i think it's important to distinguish between the commonwealth, as an organization, in which the queen is the head, but that's not a constitutional position. charles, while he's being suggested that he will be the successor, there's no obligation for that to be the case. she's not queen -- like india. >> she said that is her wish that he would be the head of the commonwealth. >> yes, absolutely. that was undertaking that commitment. that chicago more people many people thought she should be talking about when russia, not prince charles as her success for. the commonwealth is an organization that is different from the commonwealth countries, that still have ties to the british crown. you're right, it includes the caribbean countries, but australia, new zealand and canada. over the years, there has been

moments of publican sentiment. there has been referendums in those countries -- when the queen is no longer with us. >> it's gonna be an interesting, interesting way forward, isn't? it especially for these countries. professor, thanks for talking to us. let's have another look at the weather. >> more sunshine to come. there's a blocking high over scandinavia repels -- systems. it will be a chilly start to the day but with widespread blue skies. there is cloud over ireland in the southwest, as well as some patchy clouds over scotland. most places will be dry. temperatures will be close to average for the time of year,

but in lighter winds, it'll feel quite pleasant. the breeze over the north sea coasts will make it feel a bit cooler. >> still to come here on sky news breakfast, we will have a news at the newspapers. ou ♪ turns out everyone does sound better in the shower. and it turns out the general is a quality insurance company that's been saving people money for nearly 60 years. for a great low rate, and nearly 60 years of quality coverage, go with the general.

papers. it good morning, thank you for

waking up early and joining us. gemma, let's start with you. how is the pm likened what's happening in ukraine to brexit? this is the front page of the observer. >> yes, the observer have gone with. this is the sunday times have as well. this is all about the speech that johnson made at the conservatives conference, where, for some unknown reason, although i have my suspicions, he likened brexit to the russian invasion of ukraine. it's so tasteless. it's really deprived, quite frankly. it feels like we've had a very brief frostbite from the prime minister saying something absolutely ludicrous. like most people, i felt that we all need to come together and given what's going on, globally, --

after this, quite frankly, i think you should put the beat back on. he's a liability. if you think about the things that he could've said in order to unite us all, alongside europe against russia, but he didn't. he went this route. it's so tasteless. i do not remember there being a referendum in ukraine asking the people there whether they wanted to be invaded and have their houses race to the ground by themselves and how their loved ones killed. it's so disgusting to make that comparison. you ask yourself, why? this is a prepared speech, it wasn't just a quick gaffe. i can only think that he's playing to the core base, who put him there and he's reminding them of that, because he hasn't got much else. in the same speech, he said that if labor were in charge -- incorrect. the contrast between --

best interest at the forefront by easing off the pedal against johnson and by trying to collaborate, and then you've got bronson everything's about his own political gain, and it's being seen by everybody. internationally, it's made a splash as well, right at the time where we should be looking like a united front with europe. >> let's bring up the front page of the observer as well. look at how they laid it out. i don't know if you've got a copy, there is really interesting that they've chosen to put -- can we bring up the front page of the observer? can you see on the right, this is a man who survived seven days with medical attention after being shot in the theater helping his wife and a neighbor escape russian soldiers. what do you think of the pm comparing what's happening in ukraine to brexit? >> i think that i completely

agree with the competence that we just heard. the tastelessness -- that phrase, crashing liability is very apt. you should never exploit a military invasion for any kind of jokey political game. these are not there to be made upon of. they're not there for domestic politician to somehow coral and gain local support. it's not a joke, he must have known that everything he was saying was going to be reported far and wide. the immediate reactions are sort of shocking discussed from the international community. it has been completely on point, i think. i don't think it's overblown at all. it's so incredibly insulting to all of those, all over the world -- one thing is not like another, regardless of what you think about brexit. indeed, regardless of where you

stand on international relations. if you see yourself as a political -- it's not to be made fun of. to see this happen is so callous. it tells you something about the person saying it, that they can't even realize -- the pm johnson not realize that this is totally inappropriate. it's not to be said now it's, not to be said ever. >> just hang on one minute, we do have some breaking news coming in. this is the reuters news agency. they're quoting the mariupol city council, saying that russian forces have bombed an art school, were 400 residents had taken refuge. there's no information yet on casualties from that bombing of the art school. that's the mariupol city council and reuters are reporting that. let's go back to be dijon look at the front page of the sunday express. but isa, i thought that every morning i feel i wake up brace myself to look at the phone to see the breaking news. this missile is quite

extraordinary. >> well, this tallies with the breaking news that you just announced about the attack on the art center. well we're seeing, a very desperate biden putin is attacking -- brazenly attacking targets. the fact of the matter, ukrainian resistance has been exceptionally strong and despite this continued shelling, russia has not managed to take any canadian cities. the firing of this hypersonic missile is a precursor to all of putin's threats about nuclear attacks on nuclear wars -- a hypersonic missile which is capable of carrying nuclear warheads. he fired it on friday, in the west of ukraine. you see he's making an incursion, not just around the borders of the country, but into the westward area of the country. he saying, if you're not careful, i'm going to deploy

this missile for what it was meant for, which is carrying nuclear weapons. if you did that, just to give some factoids -- if you had area with a nuclear missile, everybody within a 1.2 mile race will be immediately killed. everybody within a seven mile radius will suffer third-degree burns and hundreds of thousands of -- severe radiation sickness and all that entails. this is not the kind of tactic that is possible to fight against. we know that russia holds the greatest nuclear arsenal out of all the countries. this is overt aggression. nato, the eu, the whole of the world committee is absolutely right to be alarmed every time he does. this he shown that he has no conscience about striking our schools, which is what's happening just now, but also, hospitals, maternity hospitals, places where women, children and men --

not combatants, are fighting. sorry, freudian slip, they're fighting very well the korean people. he is firing on civilian targets to destabilize civil lives. civic, ordinary existence for people of ukraine >> which is exactly would in syria. we saw it there, didn't we? let's leave ukraine for a moment. general, talk us through page three of the sunday express. hussein with all not safety bill risks free speech. >> david davis, the ex brexit secretary has huge concerns, as do many other people as well. there's so much to unpack here. my concern, i think, the majority of people agree that it is high times with -- from illegal content on the internet, to have a look at young children being able to access pornography, for example. however, this bill is --

very broad and aims to do a lot more than that, much of it is ringing massive alarm bells for many people, for instance, it will require website access by the uk to purchase government specified software -- first of all, what's this going to do small businesses? it's going to create -- many people saying it's completely un-workable. also, who's going to be owning these government specified surveillance information software companies. we've already seen the government given contracts to friends -- so, that needs to be -- also, this is the lady who -- whether they'd be getting rid of algorithms. she's also putting this clause

about legal, but harmful speech. who's going to decide what that is. does that cover jokes, does the cover political disperse, debate? does it bring the government narrative? what does it mean? it's very authoritarian spirit, who logs had the policing bill, which people have got big concerns about. it's this authoritarian over tone coming from the government, and i'm not sure, personally, that i trust it. i'm certainly not alone. >> we're gonna have to leave it there, but we've got the next hour. gemma, bautista, thank you. we'll see you in an hour. you're watching sky news breakfast. still to come, we will have plenty more on the situation in ukraine, including the latest news out of mariupol.
