hello, welcome. officials in ukraine say five people, including a three—month—old baby, have been killed in a russian missile attack on the port city of 0desa. 18 others were wounded. this video shows the aftermath of a strike on a residential building. the russian defence ministry says its missiles destroyed a logistics terminal in the port city, where it said foreign weapons were stored. 0ur correspondent caroline davies has just sent this report from 0desa. siren wails thick black smoke that cut through the calm of a saturday afternoon in 0desa. this was the aftermath of missile strike on the city. 0n the ground — blown—out glass, debris, burning cars. and ukraine's firefighters and army trying to limit the destruction. vitalia and her son, nikita, were on the 12th floor when it hit. translation: there was a very strong explosion directly on top of us. - it broke all the windows in the apartment. i smelled smoke very strongly. we collected what we could and then we ran. when we reached the fourth and fifth floors, we wanted to turn around. it was impossible to breathe and all the doors were blown out. translation: we were afraid that we would suffocate, - but in the end we broke through. i got burned. there was a car on fire and the flames hit me. i didn't feel it at first, but then people told me. i was in a state of shock. while we were filming, the crowd was pushed back, told that to get too close would be dangerous. the ukrainian authorities have said that the missiles were launched from the caspian sea. despite anti—aircraft defences, two hit a military facility, two hit residential buildings. at least six people have died, 18 are wounded, eight are in hospital. one of those killed was a three—month—old baby girl. 0desa sits on ukraine's southern coast. while much of the fighting has focused in the east of the country, 0desa had started to reduce its curfew and remove some of its street defences. this has come as a shock to many people here in 0desa. the city has been relatively quiet over the course of the last few weeks and many people hoped that could mean the start of some form of normal life. this shows that things can change in a moment. tomorrow is orthodox easter sunday, but few feel they will find peace while the threat from russia hangs over the country. caroline davies, bbc news, 0desa. ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskiy has been giving a news conference from a subway in kyiv. he said he was still willing to meet with vladamir putin, but not if ukraine's remaining forces in the besieged city of mariupol were killed. he urged russia to resolve the war through diplomacy. translation: i would like to stop, to finalise the war. _ there is the diplomatic way, and there is the military way. so any healthy and sane person always chooses diplomatic way because he or she knows that even if it's hard, it may stop the losses of thousands, of tens of thousands — and with such neighbours, hundreds of thousands, and maybe even millions — of victims. victims, losses of people, we don't want that. and any leader, whether he wants that or not, he doesn't have the right to deny subjectively, because it would be a subjective decision to deny the diplomatic way. we can cross live to the capital kyiv now and our correspondent there, anna foster. we will talk about 0desa any minute, but first to talk to us more about this press conference and that president zelensky has been holding. it was unusual, martin, because it is the first thing he has none of this type for weeks now. he has given 12 interviews, but always from that very secure bunker he has been holed up in. a russian made it very clear —— given one or two interviews. russia made it very clear there was a threat to his life. to see him on the ground, any metro station, where people have been sheltering from this invasion, seeing him answering questions from assembled journalists did feel like he had had no dunny step. he talked about, as you're hearing there, wanting to have a meeting with vladimir putin —— he he also revealed that the us secretary of state, antony blinken, and the defence secretary, lloyd austin will visit kyiv tomorrow, unusual to reveal that before the event, but it would be at the latest in a string of high—profile visits to this capital. itjust shows you how things are slowly starting to come to life. ijust want how things are slowly starting to come to life. i just want to show you, while we are talking, this building behind me, so familiar now. these beautiful golden domes of saint michael's monastery have come at night, been completely dark so far, eversince at night, been completely dark so far, ever since the start of the work. and it is greek orthodox easter, russian orthodox easter tomorrow, so for the first time, the lights are back on. you can see that building in the background, there is still a curfew to make should be busy, worshippers all evening long, but it is still the first is no sign of normality returning here. find of normality returning here. and then the issue _ of normality returning here. and then the issue of _ of normality returning here. and then the issue of odesa where, of then the issue of 0desa where, of course, the russian explanation of their action there is markedly different to what other people understand have happened. it is. that is right- _ understand have happened. it is. that is right. they _ understand have happened. it is. that is right. they always - understand have happened. it 3 that is right. they always say after strike like this that they are targeting military infrastructure, but of course, as you saw in caroline's report there, they did target some military infrastructure, but the two of their missiles also hit a residential building. and you saw the impact it had there. it shows that even though russia is concentrating its forces and firepower on the east in places like mariupol, it will still hit other targets as well, the timing of this is particularly notable because a russian general said yesterday russian general said yesterday russia had ambitions to try and capture the whole of the southern coast of ukraine, the whole of that coastline right to the way to trans mystery, that russian speaking a breakaway state in moldova. —— transnistria. that would leave ukraine completely landlocked. we do not know if that was the creme and's official position or it was all script and something he meant himself, but this attack today has drawn attention —— if it was on that the kremlin�*s official position. some people have felt safe enough to come back, although a lot of the authorities are saying, do not do that, we do not quite know what the future holds. that, we do not quite know what the future holds— that, we do not quite know what the future holde— future holds. they are, that is ri . ht. future holds. they are, that is right- when — future holds. they are, that is right. when you _ future holds. they are, that is right. when you walk - future holds. they are, that is right. when you walk around i future holds. they are, that is i right. when you walk around the city, in fact, you do still see those piles of sandbags, the metal reinforcements that were put in place, the blast walls that were all there to try and repel a russian advance. it fortunately never made it to the heart of the city. a lot of the soldiers and those checkpoints have got now, moved on to different places. but they said he is quiet, a lot of the shops are closed, a lot of the restaurants and things are closed. it feels quiet and there is still a curfew on the streets overnight, you cannot go out overnight. so although there are small signs remaining, as you say, people are still told not to come back here. the mayor has told them it is too soon. and particularly in those areas around kyiv, those places i've been to like bucha, borodyanka, where people are desperate to go back and start rebuilding. in some cases to see if their homes are still there, their friends are still there. that is an even more difficult situation for them to have to deal with. unexploded ordnance, the memories of what went on in those towns, so i think even though we see these small steps towards ordinary life, it will still be a long time before a beautiful thriving city like this one gets back to the glory that it had before this invasion began. for the moment, and i, thank you very much, and a foster in kyiv. —— anna foster in kyiv. to france, where campaigning has ended and now the wait begins on the eve of the presidential election run—off on sunday. incumbent emmanuel macron is facing off against far—right rival, marine le pen. ms le pen hasn't been in front of the cameras today, but we did get this photo opportunity with mr macron, on the beach near his home in le toucquet on the english channel. 0r la manche, as the french prefer it. some voting is already taking place, in france's overseas constituencies. special polling stations have also been set up for french nationals in other countries, like here, in new york. in all, around the world, 48.7 million people are eligible to vote in the french presidential election. i'm joined now by my colleague reeta chakrabarti, who has been following this election in paris. reeta, both candidates have urged people to go out and vote — to what degree will voter apathy impact this election? it is having an impact already. that might feel like a traditional plea to people to go out and vote, but it is at the big question, and it makes the selection very unpredictable. emanuel macron has been ahead in the polls and most people given those polls and most people given those polls are to expect him to win, but there is at this big factor which is that 49% of people who voted in the first round of the elections two weeks ago did not vote for either emanuel macron or marine le pen. what are those people going to do? the traditional parties of the left and right, the socialists and the republicans, they were frankly crushed in the first round of the election. there are performance was abysmal, and the runner—up was the far left candidate, john luke mitchell on, who got a 7.7 million votes. ——jean—luc mitchell on, who got a 7.7 million votes. —— jean—luc mechelon. mitchell on, who got a 7.7 million votes. ——jean—luc mechelon. his votes. ——jean—luc mechelon. his votes were only a little behind met in the pen�*s and water are his voters going to do? when he had been assessed, a lot of his supporters come up saying choosing between macron and in the pen is like choosing between the colour and the plague. just think about it, this is a real dilemma for people —— macron and marine le pen. will they throw their support behind one or other of their support behind one or other of the candidates, stay at home, or go to the polling booth and register a blank vote? that is essentially a protest vote. 0ne blank vote? that is essentially a protest vote. one other thing that people have been talking about here is in paris it is a holiday at the moment and some people have left the city. paris is usually a macron supporting area. will it influence the outcome or his support eventually? people will be looking to watch that what are the issues uppermost in people's mines as they head to the polls tomorrow? they are similar to what many countries are experiencing — like the rising cost of living is a very big issue. the increasing energy fuel costs and in food prices, partly because of the war in ukraine, a big issue here and something that marine le pen has campaigned on very vociferously. immigration does come up, although it is hard to know whether marine le pen's specific policies, particularly the controversial one over the headscarf and banning muslim women for waiting the headscarf in public places, and how that goes down. but frans does not place any world, given that they were in ukraine, is also on people's main�*s —— france's place the world. reeta chakrabarti keeping an eye on progress in paris. voting takes place on sunday in france and we will have a special programme bringing you the result, starting at 1730 gmt. join us for that as france decides. downing street has confirmed that the uk prime minister, borisjohnson, has not received a second fine for breaking lockdown rules. there are reports that the metropolitan police has issued fines for an event in the garden of number 10 on 20th may 2020. 0ur politcal correspondent damian grammaticas is here with me now. how much does this alleviate the pressure on borisjohnson? it how much does this alleviate the pressure on boris johnson? it does not mean he _ pressure on boris johnson? it does not mean he may _ pressure on boris johnson? it does not mean he may not _ pressure on boris johnson? it does not mean he may not get - pressure on boris johnson? it does not mean he may not get a - pressure on boris johnson? it does not mean he may not get a thing, l pressure on boris johnson? it does i not mean he may not get a thing, but just means we do not know. up until this point, he has not received a second vine is what we know. it is being reported that fines are being sent out, a couple, perhaps, been sent out, a couple, perhaps, been sent by the police for this event on 20th may. the prime minister has been fined once for breaking the law by the police. that was at the event to celebrate his birthday. this is a month before that, may 2020, in that first lockdown when you're only allowed outside your house to meet one person in public orfor a necessary work reason. this event, we know, happened in that guarding in downing street, the prime is a's secretary invited people to bring your own booze, people may remember that for this event —— the guardian of downing street. the prime minister had to go to parliament in january to say he had been at it, he was there for 25 minutes, he thought it was a work—related event, that has the expedition he has given. the place, it seems, have started sending out letters, but downing street says not to the prime minister, does not mean he will not get one future, we just do not know. how many dates are the still looking at which could generate fines? theyr at which could generate fines? they are lookin: at which could generate fines? they are looking at _ at which could generate fines? they are looking at a _ at which could generate fines? tie: are looking at a number, at which could generate fines? tia: are looking at a number, think at which could generate fines? t“i21: are looking at a number, think we have had three different parties, now. if you count this one, for which they have issued fixed penalty notices. i think that means there are another handful they are still looking at and there is, of course, is one that had drawn a lot of attention because of the nature of the garden. 30 people talked about being there, tables laid out with food and drink. and at the time, you could only do something that wasn't necessary for work. but what the police have said as they will not be issuing any more information themselves until after the local elections, so a couple of weeks' time. we have to wait for downing street, who might, if the premise does get a new sign. but this week mps agreed for there to be an investigation —— in the prime minister does get a new fine. looking into whether the prime minister misled parliament and we will not hear about that until after the police have reported fully. that new, third the police have reported fully. “t“isgt new, third inquiry into all of this, we have the internal sue gray civil service one, that we wait to see that, which will come after the police complete their inquiries. then go now, we will have this parliamentary one and that, in many ways, is perhaps one that might provide the mostjeopardy for boris johnson because, ultimately, these things will be decided in the political arena and that will be an investigation by that parliamentary committee into whether he misled or lied to parliament when he made his statements about these gatherings and events, when he said no rules were broken, the guidelines are followed. that, though, could be weeks or months away.— followed. that, though, could be weeks or months away. damian, thank ou ve weeks or months away. damian, thank you very much- — weeks or months away. damian, thank you very much- it _ weeks or months away. damian, thank you very much. it

damian grammaticas. a group of would—be hosts, sponsors and supporters of ukraine have held a vigil outside the home office in london. many say they've been frustrated by the red tape and delays forfamilies coming to the uk. they want the government to speed up the process and sort out the logistics. 0ur reporter nickjohnson went to meet them. for the past five weeks or so, people here in the uk have been able to register their interest in opening their homes to people in ukraine who are fleeing the russian invasion there. now, government figures show that around 72,000 visas have been issued to people in ukraine, but those same figures show that only around a third of those people have actually made the journey to the uk. now, people in ukraine can apply to come here under two different methods, one being the family scheme where they might have family connections here in the uk already. the second way is under the government's homes for ukraine scheme, also known as the sponsorship scheme, where we are talking about people registering for their homes to be open, families here wanting families from the ukraine to come and join them here. but we've heard about delays to that process, we've heard about significant issues with those visas being issued, and it's led to a number of people taking action, including those here today, a protest outside the home office organised here by kitty hamilton. kitty, tell me your story and the efforts you've been doing to get people from ukraine here. well, approximately five weeks ago, when the scheme first opened up, we put our names down to show, for an expression of interest, which is actually a misnomer — you don't put your name down for interest reasons, you put it down because you're committed to helping people fleeing war, which is what we did, and we've heard nothing back from the home office. so, we went through our own routes, through friends of friends, who knew some ukrainians and actually put us in touch with them, and what we did was get in touch with them. that night, i was up until one o'clock in the morning, filling in their visa applications, because we thought it was urgent. five weeks later, i'm still waiting to find out whether or not the family is going to come over. worse than that, what we've now found out that the mother has been worse than that, what we've now found out is that the mother has been accepted, but her children are "under consideration." one of them is five years old. what is there to consider? i just don't understand. so, we've effectively got one family. the adults have been approved, the children still haven't, and obviously they need to travel here as a family. yes. what are they saying to you? what is their situation in ukraine at the moment? they are being so patient and kind but they are under such stress. the mother told me just the other day — she's in lviv now, they already evacuated from kyiv — and what they found is that actually they've got bomb, missile raids going on all the time. they've had bombs go off near their homes, and the mother is just saying, "i don't want my children growing up with this." nobody should be exposed to this, and that's why they want to come over. and we want them here. they're not staying forever — they're staying until this war is sorted out. they want to go home. little marta, i had a lovely little photograph of marta, the five—year—old girl, who has got a lovely picture of herself on a ukrainian field with a blue sky, and her words are, "i want to go home." but they need to be here first, until it is safe. in response, a government spokesperson said... "the changes the home office has made to streamline the visa system, including simplifying the forms and boosting staff numbers, are working and we are now processing visas as quickly as they come in — enabling thousands more ukrainians to come through our uncapped routes". supermarkets across the uk are limiting how much cooking oil customers are able to buy, as supplies are hit by the war in ukraine. the british retail consortium says the restrictions are a temporary measure "to ensure availability for everyone". our business report simon browning explains more. this is an unexpected and sad consequence of what's happening in ukraine, but the sunflower is the national symbol of ukraine and sunflower oil production has been severely affected by the invasion and what is happening there, so there's a limit on supplies at the moment — uk supermarkets, tesco is allowing three bottles per customer at the moment, waitrose and morrisons have limited shoppers to two items each, and iceland, the boss of iceland, i was also told this morning that they're limiting production and bringing in smaller bottles. now, sunflower oil is used in so much of our cooking here in the united kingdom. we use it at home to cook, but it's also in lots of the products that we buy from the supermarket and it's involved in so much factory production. one big manufacturer told the bbc a few months ago that they only had four months�* supply at that point, and it's used in their production processes for things like biscuits, oven chips, mayonnaise, tuna, crisps and cereal bars — huge amounts of, you know, cupboard staples that we all need day—to—day in our shops. now, there's a big push now to find alternative sources to sunflower oil as supplies run low. that was simon browning reporting. a 33—year—old man has been arrested in the town of bedworth in warwickshire after a series of attacks in the town centre. two men and a woman were stabbed. one of the victims is in a stable condition in hospital. the other two have been discharged. officers say the suspect, from bedworth, attacked at least 10 people. police said the victims identified so far are helping with the investigation. construction is getting under way in california on the world's biggest wildlife overpass. dozens of mountain lions are known to have died on la highways in the past two decades, but now they'll be able to cross safely in the santa monica mountains. the bbc�*s azaday moshiri reports. a cougar kitten taking some of its first steps, but as it continues to grow, it will find that the ground it walks on is not always so safe. us highways have become somewhat of a dangerfor mountain lions. at least 26 are known to have died on la freeways in the last two decades. do it! cheering but now, thanks to the state of california and several wildlife organisations, construction begins on the world's largest wildlife overpass. we can share this earth instead of claiming it and dominating it. we can coexist side—by—side with all kinds of wildlife instead of paving it over and choking it off. the crossing near la will cover a 10—lane highway, which is used by about 350,000 cars a day. it will allow the mountain lions and other wildlife to cross between two natural habitats and make the highway less dangerous. from 2016—2020, there were 44,000 reported collisions with wildlife on california roads, and that cost up to over $1 billion in injuries to humans, human death and property damage. the aim is to have the crossing ready in the next three years, so that these big cats of hollywood can roam safely. azaday moshiri, bbc news. the invictus games — the sporting event for injured service personnel — has ended in the netherlands. the event, started by britain's prince harry, has seen competitors from 17 nations taking part, including one from the us. we've been speaking to one of those american competitors, sergeant carnell martin from the marine corps. here's his story. hello, my name is carnell martin, i'm from san diego, california. i am a retired us marine. what made me eligible for serving here while in service i was blown up by an ied in combat in iraq. i received a traumatic brain injury, causing severe brain damage and severe stability and speech and walking and cognitive processing. 0nce stability and speech and walking and cognitive processing. once i was discharged, ifound myself wanting to do more and ifound discharged, ifound myself wanting to do more and i found adapted sports, and that's how i became an adapted athlete and worked my way here to the invictus games. cheering that feeling of being in your unit again, just gives you that bond again, just gives you that bond again being around other serious members that are like—minded, that have the same goals and aspirations as you have. prince harry and his wifejust as you have. prince harry and his wife just being here as you have. prince harry and his wifejust being here has been a tremendous experience. someone who served in the military and also him just being around and being open and friendly with everyone, just being himself, being personal and approachable, it'sjust been himself, being personal and approachable, it's just been a tremendous experience meeting him and his wife. it's been good therapy and his wife. it's been good therapy and just talking and telling my story. i think the more we tell our story, the more our mind connects to what we're trying to say. a lot of times, with a dramatic brain injury, you can forget a lot of things that you're trying to say and it doesn't come out of the way you really mean it, to say what you really mean, rather. ~ ., ., , ., it, to say what you really mean, rather. ~ ., ., ., , it, to say what you really mean,

marine corps. and before we go, new photographs of prince louis have been released to mark his fourth birthday. the pictures were taken earlier this month by his mother, the duchess of cambridge. louis is the youngest of william and catherine's three children. the pictures show him smiling and holding a cricket ball, enjoying time on the beach in norfolk. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @martinebbc. weather now with chris fawkes. hello, again. well, the weekend's got off to a pretty decent start weather—wise. for the vast majority, it's been a dry day. there've just been one or two showers dotted around here and there. but some sunshine for most of us — that was edinburgh castle, overlooking the blossoms there in the gardens below. now, the satellite picture. to the north of the uk in the north atlantic, we've got a big bank of low cloud, and that is going to be coming towards the uk into next week, but before we get there, today we have had some cloud, particularly across wales and western areas of england, and that cloud has produced one 01’ two showers. now, they'll fade away but we could see another batch just running into the south of england for a time overnight. away from that, cloudy again for northern scotland, but for most it's a dry night with clear skies. temperatures getting down to between three and seven celsius, perhaps a few areas of frost in some of the deeper valleys in scotland. now, for the second half of the weekend, it's another fine—looking day. lots of sunshine around, both morning and afternoon, and i think overall there'll be fewer showers, so the vast majority of you will have a dry day. still pretty cloudy across the far north of scotland, but otherwise sunny spells. now, again, we've got these east, north—easterly winds working across the chilly waters out in the north sea where the sea temperatures are onlyjust coming up from their wintertime lows, and that does have an effect on the temperatures. for eastern areas, 11 to 14 degrees. the highest temperatures, again, across the south and west — we're looking at highs of 18 in cardiff and for london. for monday, still a fair bit of dry weather but we are going to see some showers across central and eastern england. some of those could turn out to be quite heavy for a time during the afternoon. away from that, though, a fair bit of dry weather, but it's starting to turn cloudy and cool across northern areas of scotland. ten degrees in stornoway, 11 in aberdeen. in the sunshine further south, 14s and 15s for the most part. tuesday is where we see that big area of low cloud i showed you on the satellite picture. well, that works down the north sea and then starts to spread inland, so quite a bit of dry weather still around, but quite a lot of cloud, as well, and given the cloudy skies, just nine degrees in aberdeen and newcastle. highest temperatures 15—16 for cardiff and for london, but, really, the rest of the week does look pretty cloudy at times. temperatures not as high as they have been. the best of any limited sunshine will be across western areas. that's the latest. this is bbc news. the headlines: ukraine says at least five people have been killed and 18 injured
