russia's defence ministry says the flagship of its black sea fleet — the moskva — has sunk — a day afterne said the cruiser had been hit by its missiles. the ship went down as it was being towed back to the port of sevastopol. overnight there have been reports of explosions in the capital — kyiv. tim allman reports. the scourge of the black sea now buried at the bottom of it. but how the moskva got there is still disputed. ukraine says it hit the ship with cruise missiles launched from the coast. russia would only admit there had been an explosion on board and it then sank in bad weather. if the ukrainians were responsible it would be the biggest warship to be sunk by enemy action since the second world war. this is a tremendous victory for ukraine, even if they didn't directly contribute to the sinking. and it's an enormous defeat for russia because it indicates that the russian armed forces simply aren't up to snuff in terms of modern military capabilities. perhaps not, but it does beg the question how will russia react? these were air raid sirens heard overnight in the western city of

it's the russian defence ministry that says it has cleared the entire urban area of ukrainian forces,hey say there are just a handful of ukrainian troops who are holding out in this crucial steel plant in the city. but ukraine's president has warned moscow that there will be an end to peace talks if the last ukrainian defenders in mariupol are killed. that is clearly an attempt by president zelensky to try to exert pressure on russia not to completely take the city and not to completely kill everybody there but is it going to full on deaf ears? well, quite possibly. it would be a huge prize for russia to get mariupol, to establish a land corridor from russia through eastern ukraine to occupied crimea. in terms of the toll that has been exacted on mariupol, it is absolutely devastating. ukraine's president said tens of thousands could have died there in that city alone. we have seen images of a city that has been completely gutted, completely devastated. so, we wait to hear the fate of mariupol, but as your previous speaker was saying, it could have already fallen or it could fall in t

the russian defence ministry has blamed the red cross for that not going ahead today, saying they were to get there. in terms of elsewhere in the country it seems that the pull—back of troops around kyiv is happening. this is something much talked about at the beginning of the week after peace talks in istanbul. earlier in the day and adviser to president volodymyr zelensky said that 30 towns and settlements had been recaptured by ukrainian forces. as the day went on, they increased that. they now say that the whole kyiv region is in ukrainian pounds. at this stage it is hard to tell about the bush now is towards the east of the country and they fear powerful blows in that direction. a two—month truce has been agreed by warring parties in yemen. it's the first nationwide truce agreed since 2016 in a war which has killed nearly 400,000 people, according to un estimates. the deal between the saudi—led coalition and iran—backed houthi rebels — came into effect on saturday — coinciding with the first day of the muslim holy month of ramadan. the us special envoy for yemen — tim lenderking —
