are on high alert for further floods as more rain is expected over the weekend. and plans to send asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda are a breach of international law, according to the un's refugee agency. good evening. emergency teams around the ukrainian capital are responding to a second day of russian attacks on military—industrial facilities in kyiv. the city's mayor, vitaly klitschko, said one person had been killed and several others injured. tensions have been rising since russia's flagship boat, the moskva, sank in the black sea. the ukrainians say it was hit by their missiles before it went down. today russia has banned borisjohnson and other senior uk figures from entering their country. and in the last few minutes the russian defence ministry has said it has cleared the entire urban area of mariupol of ukrainian forces and had blockaded fighters at a major steelworks in the city — though we cannot independently verify those claims. 0ur correspondent mark lowen reports from kyiv. russian revenge. an early morning strike on a military factory in kyiv by long—range missiles. a message from moscow that russian troops may have retreated from the capital, but they can still hit hard. it came after ukraine says it struck and sank the russian warship the moskva, though russia claims it was caused by a fire. its pride of the black sea, now buried beneath it. well, the industrial complex that was hit is behind this wall. you can still see the smoke there in the distance from the explosion. now, ukraine shows every intention in this war of continuing and stepping up its fightback, and the fear here in kyiv is that russian retaliatory strikes might now intensify. a hint of normality was creeping back to this city, with shops reopening and people emerging from shelters. but now a reminder that the threat is still present, even from afar. tatiana hoped her customers would soon start to return, but she and her neighborhood have had a terrifying wake—up call. translation: the floor was shaking and it felt like an earthquake. - it was very frightening. these days, we sleep fully clothed with our bags packed, so we are ready to flee. translation: | woke up - all of a sudden, like i was jolted out of a nightmare. we wanted to leave kyiv, but we trust our military so decided to stay. but now i think i'll always feel nervous when i hear explosions. the factory hit had been used to repair tanks in short supply here. ukraine's president again appealing today for arms from abroad. although russia warned the west to stop the supply. translation: the more and the sooner we get i all the weapons we have requested, the stronger our position will be and the sooner there will be peace. but any hope of that is being drowned out by the ferocious assault in the east. this is a foreshadowing of what ukraine fears will be even greater battles ahead. here in kyiv, the city is back on high alert. the urgency is the scarred wasteland of mariupol in the southeast, close to falling to the russians, who now claim they've captured this crucial steel plant. warning sirens. 0ur europe correspondent mark lown has been telling us the city of kyiv is once again on edge. there was a hint of normality that was beginning to return to the city, with shops reopening and residents who had fled west when kyiv looked poised to be attacked, beginning to return. yet again, the city has been in the cross hairs of the attacks. long—range cruise missiles hitting the weapons factory, the tank repair factory in the early hours of this morning on the outskirts of kyiv. i was there this morning and four hours after the explosion you could see the black smoke billowing in that industrial complex. we spoke to locals who said they had been woken up by the strikes by the strikes this morning, woken up, one man said, like being jolted out of a nightmare. so, yes, they are very nervous. a lady telling us she sleeps fully clothed and with bags packed at the ready in case she needs to flee again. so even though the focus of the russian offensive remains in the east, here in kyiv, there are fears of further attacks to come, further retaliatory strikes to come and the reality is, nowhere in this country feel safe. there were some signs of that and when you go around the city, you can see shops and restaurants reopening, but it is a parallel reality because in front of an open shop or restaurant, there will be an anti—tank vehicle blocks, the iron welded together to try to stop any tanks. there are roadblocks in several places across the city, concrete blocks and sandbags. so even though there is a hint of normality still, this is a country at war and still, as we have seen this morning, for a second day running, kyiv remains vulnerable to long—range missiles being fired from russian warships in the black sea. and the truth of the matter is, ukraine shows no sign of pulling back. in fact, every intention of stepping up in its fightback in this war. the fear in kyiv and further west remains, that russia's revenge or retaliatory strikes could yet increase. well for more on this i'm nowjoined by dr aglaya snetkov. she is a lecturer in international politics of russia at the ucl. she is also an author and wrote "russia's security policy under putin: a critical perspective". hello. we have had this warning from moscow of

to the sinking of the ship moskva yesterday and trying to retaliate, at least in words, if not indeed. but as demonstrated in your report, the strikes against installations around kyiv will continue. it demonstrates that other parts of ukraine are not safe, even if the russian offensive is moving more towards the east. i5 russian offensive is moving more towards the east.— russian offensive is

trying to keep the momentum going, it is trying to redress the signs of russia's weakness and trying to preserve russia's strength and presenting themselves as black at the forefront of this campaign, even though they have suffered major losses. this has been a failure over the last six. losses. this has been a failure over the last six— losses. this has been a failure over the last she— the last

the fog of war, what is going on on the ground. but there is expectation the russians will effectively take mariupol. it is a question of days, it is a question of when. there were some fighters left over in the city itself, most of them were concentrating on the steel plants and already there were discussions on thursday about whether or not the russians have been able to take over the plant. it turned out they haven't. but the expectation is mariupol wilful to the russians eventually. mariupol wilful to the russians eventually-— mariupol wilful to the russians eventually. mariupol wilful to

reported as missing. furtherflooding is possible as rain falls on saturated ground. the government has allocated $68 million for emergency relief. these are the deadliest storms to strike the coastal city of durban in living memory. desperate rescue operations have been under way today across kwa—zulu natal following floods in the region. our team witnessed an attempt to recover two bodies,

been able to identify that there are remains down there. it is quite a sombre moment, a sombre situation right now. we have members of the community who are looking on and it is quite sad to witness. just looking around here, all of the cars and the debris which has been strewn all over here, it is just an indication of how violent the waters must have been when they were coming through all along this community. it has been utterly, utterly devastating. just looking at the houses as well, you can see this is a poor and impoverished area, they are not very well built and they couldn't sustain the torrent of the waters that came through here. i am also told there is a number of search and rescue operations also taking place all around this area and this community. so the number of dead is steadily rising and it is just an unfortunate consequence of the violence of the floods that took place here in kwazulu—natal. and you can find more on that and other stories on the bbc news website.

to those communities all the bridges have collapsed. there is a huge shortage around food and accommodation. the government has appealed to civil society including churches to open up their doors and housekeeper. there are concerns over the next few days that the wet weather will continue and that will interfere with, notjust rescue operations, but trying to get people to safer ground. that is why

infrastructure. just looking at some of the roads that have split in half, some of them are thin and look like they have been built shoddily. that is one of the things people are pointing to. they say the weather is changing but the infrastructure that leads to many of these townships and informal settlements has been neglected by the government and that also has widened the scale of impact and we

much money would be saved by the scheme. the home secretary, priti patel, had to personally approve the policy, which could see immigrants who've arrived in the uk unofficially flown to rwanda. 0pposition parties have condemned the proposals. dave penman is the general secretary of the fda — that's the union for senior civil servants. we got concerns raised with us on thursday when it was announced when civil servants were briefed about it. many didn't know that this was coming in the home office. for many, they will see this as both as an impractical solution and there have been a lot of concerns about the practicality of the approach from government about the problems on on the channel. and also given the nature of this, i think many are concerned about the humanity involved in this and whether this is actually something that any government should do. and i think that's quite extraordinary, most civil servants, as i say, recognise they've got to serve the government. we don't get those concerns, because they recognize that that's what they've signed up for. so it's quite unusual for us to get that sort of feedback from members on a policy. butjust like it's divisive in the country, it's divisive among civil servants as well. figures from the ministry of defence show more than 6,000 people have been brought ashore by uk authorities so far this year — as they tried to cross the english channel. 0ur correspondent simonjones has been giving us the latest from the port of dover. yes, it has been another really busy day out there in the channel for the border force and the lifeboat. we have seen several boats being brought to shore. 0n those boats were a number of women and children and several babies. the vast majority have been young men. we haven't had any figures confirmed but i am hearing 300 plus people made the journey today taking the total to more than 6000 people. that is why the government says it needs to act to do something radical. it understands the idea of sending people 4000 miles away from kent to rwanda is going to be controversial, particularly as they are sending concern over this is being expressed within the home of its itself. some civil servants have questioned just how much this is going to cost and whether it represents value for money. the home secretary is pushing through this idea and she is convinced it is cost—effective, but concern expressed from the pcs union he say this whole idea is utterly inhumane. he say this whole idea is utterly inhumane-— he say this whole idea is utterly inhumane. ,, ., , the duke and duchess of sussex have made a rare public appearance at the invictus games in the netherlands. the couple took part in a driving challenge alongside a group of children. prince harry and meghan will formally open the event for injured service personnel this evening. dave watson is an army veteran and winner of four medals at the invictus games. he isn't competing this year but has been providing support to this year's competitors. he says having prince harry involved is important. prince harry means a lot, not just for the public but for the injured soldiers as well. if it wasn't for prince harry bringing up the invictus games, there would be a lot of soldiers out there struggling with mental health and other stuff to deal with. but the invictus games brings us all back together again. you can have the banter and the morale and we get to meet a lot more soldiers from other countries as well. my injuries, i lost both my legs and my right arm below the elbow. when it first happened, i wasn't coping with my injuries. i went through a pretty dark patch. i did stuff i regret, but at that time that was my happy place because it was making me forget what happened in afghanistan. but prince harry bringing the invictus games into it got me out of that black hole, got me training, my mental state was a lot better and i am still competing nowadays. how are you competing now, what level are you at? the us state department says it's deeply concerned by the level of violence in jerusalem, after clashes on friday, between palestinian demonstrators and israeli police. more than 150 palestinians have been injured in clashes with israeli police at the al—aqsa mosque, in occupied eastjerusalem. three israeli police officers were also hurt. tensions have been high in recent weeks, as the fasting month of ramadan coincides with passover forjewish people — and easter for christians. here's yolande knell. there were some very angry rhetoric from palestinian officials after riot police entered the mosque on the second friday of ramadan. we had the palestinian prime minister talking about this as a brutal assault of worshipers and a dangerous omen. and then hamas, which of course governs gaza, the militant group, they had a big rally there in support of the al—aqsa and a spokesman came out saying they would defend jerusalem with all their might. 0n the other side, the israeli prime minister said that the country was preparing for any scenario. this is after israeli police said that they acted to disperse palestinians who were causing a riot. it said that they had thrown fireworks after dawn prayers, that they had also thrown stones towards jewish worshipers at the western wall just below that. that is of course the holiest of places wherejews can pray. palestinians saw what happened when the police came in using stun grenades and tear gas and hitting people with batons. they saw that as a huge provocation. but what we are hearing is that egypt, qatar and the un very quickly they came in as mediators to try to restore some sense of calm. as you said, washington also had its voice heard and now what has helped to kind of de—escalate things is the fact that many of the several hundred palestinians who were arrested yesterday have now been released. we understand there has been a sort of loose agreement made. certainly we have seen no rockets fired by hamas militant groups in gaza and we have also not heard any fresh reports of serious arrests, raids by israeli security forces which we have had repeatedly in the past week because in the background, of course, to all of what happened on friday is the fact that tensions were already very high following the deadliest attacks in israel for years over three weeks. attacks which killed 14 people and then that was followed by what the israeli army said was a counterterrorism operation in the west bank and a number of palestinians were killed in clashes there. here in the uk, one of the uk's most senior criminal lawyers has called for the post office to be stripped of its power to bring private prosecutions. it comes as the public inquiry into the treatment of former sub—postmasters is expected to come to an end next month. the post office used its ability to take more than 700 branch managers straight to court, when faulty software appeared to make it look like money was missing from their branches. 0ur correspondent colletta smith has the story. i don't get it. i really don't get it. most of us were aware then, obviously, that horizon was having its issues, but then they still chose to prosecute me! and that is just malicious, nasty. pauline was sacked, made homeless and given a criminal conviction when her youngest daughter was only two. the computer system had shown a shortfall at her branch. she'd asked for help, but instead, the post office sent in their team of investigators. considering they're not the police, but they made you.... they made you feel like they were the police. what got me was the way they went about it. it was... it was, it was... they were so aggressive. the same happened to marion's husband, peter, and more than 700 others investigated and taken to court, not by police, but by their employer. the problem with the post office, or the problem from our point of view, with the post office is they do all their own prosecution, so basically, they were judge, jury and executioner. the subpostmasters have been on the back foot from the very beginning because the post office held all the information and, crucially, rather than the police, it was the post office who investigated and then brought the prosecutions. but testimonies at the inquiry have shown big problems with the way post office investigators treated subpostmasters. i felt humiliated, scared to death. tony edwards is one of the uk's most senior criminal lawyers and has spent decades training the police how to carry out investigations fairly. the post office should have followed those same rules. those investigators either didn't know or chose not to observe i the rules about making clear that people were not obliged - to do anything. they were free to go. we all were made out to believe we were the only ones. everybody was told no—one else has got a problem, must be you. the lie that you are the only one saying horizon is to blame - is entirely undermining. and there must have been a point very early on when post office i investigators knew it was not true. peter died in 2015, but it took marion another six years to clear his name. the post office say victims�* testimonies have reinforced their determination to ensure that wrongs of the past are put right. but marion is hoping the next stages of this public inquiry will hold post office bosses to account for the treatment peter received. colletta smith, bbc news, in leeds. the world renowned pianist lang lang has been hitting the high notes, during a performance that could give you goosebumps. the chinese pianist was playing at europe's highest train station in the swiss alps. a grand piano was taken to the mountaintop, a jaw droping 3,400 feet above sea level. he said it was his first performance in the snow, but that he really enjoyed the experience. now, let's take a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. hello. it was another glorious day across many parts of the uk, with temperatures approaching 20 degrees in a few spots. how about easter sunday? it is once again looking warm and sunny for most of us, and there's the clue in the headline, because, in fact, there's rain in the forecast as well. so let me explain. high pressure is certainly dominating the weather across most of the uk right now, but a weather front is fast approaching, and this weather front is visible on the latest satellite picture here, just to the west of ireland. and you can see cloud has been increasing through the day across some western parts of england and wales, as well as scotland. now, that weather front will make some progress through this evening. ahead of it, it's going to be clear. certainly no rain in the forecast across england, but in northern ireland and western scotland, by the early hours of sunday morning, we are expecting some wet weather, at least damp conditions moving in. not particularly cold tonight. in glasgow, 10 degrees, maybe a bit chilly there in east anglia. so here's the forecast for easter sunday. england looking sunny, wales too, at least for most of the day, but not northern ireland and not the western isles of scotland. the weather front approaches here, and you can see the outbreaks of rain and also, as a result, a lot cooler here, maybe only 13 degrees. and that weather front will push across the country during the course of sunday evening. worth noting that on sunday, the pollen levels will be high, but generally across england and wales, not in scotland and northern ireland. so the forecast, then, for monday, we are expecting the low pressure to be meandering just to the northwest of the uk, but the cool front will move across. and you can see that colder air from the north atlantic, just south of greenland here, tucking in, so fresher conditions in place across the uk during the course of monday as a result of this low pressure spinning in. and you can see the cloud and the showers across northern ireland, western scotland. there will probably be a few showers elsewhere across the uk, and those temperatures are just that much lower — 13 in liverpool, maybe 17 or so in london. and the outlook for the week ahead shows those temperatures stabilising around the mid teens across the south of the uk, closer to ii or 13 in the north. bye— bye. this is bbc world news. the headlines: russia has formally warned the united states and its allies against supplying further weapons to ukraine. russia said us arms shipments were adding fuel to the conflict and could lead to what it called "unpredictable consequences". the russian defence ministry says it has cleared the entire urban area of mariupol of ukrainian forces, claiming that ukraine has lost more than 4,000 fighters in the city. the bbc has not been able to verify these claims. disaster teams in the south african province of kwazulu—natal are on high alert for further floods, as more rain is forecast in the area this weekend. at least 400 people are now known to have died. plans to send asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda are a breach of international law, according to the
