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. 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, vitali 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 hours, 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 neighbourhood 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, joining me now is the hollywood actor liev schreiber, who is currently in lviv after launching an ngo initiative to help those in need. hello to you, thank you forjoining us on bbc news.

and other stories on the bbc news website. let's stay with events in ukraine. dr aglaya snetkov is a lecturer in international politics of russia at the ucl. speaking to me a little earlier she gave me her thoughts on how the conflict in ukraine is likely to develop in the coming weeks. so, i mean, at this stage, we are expecting an an offensive in donbas, we will continue to see missiles being launched at kyiv and lviv. i'm sure that the discussion, for example, that the deployment of nuclear weapons will come through. i think a lot of this is rhetoric, it is trying to respond to the sinking of the ship yesterday, and trying to retaliate. at least in words if not indeed. although as demonstrated earlier report of the strikes, for example, against installations around kyiv, will continue, which demonstrates that, you know, other parts of ukraine are not safe, even if the russian offensive is moving more towards the east. find if the russian offensive is moving more towards the east.— more towards the east. and it is that what he _ more towards the east. and it is that what he is _ more towards the east. and it is that what he is hinting _ more towards the east. and it is that what he is hinting at? i more towards the east. and it is that what he is hinting at? do i more towards the east. and it is i that what he is hinting at? do you think, when he talks about unpredictable consequences? is he talking about a nuclear strike or is it deliberately vague? i talking about a nuclear strike or is it deliberately vague?— it deliberately vague? i think it is deliberately _ it deliberately vague? i think it is deliberately vague. _ it deliberately vague? i think it is deliberately vague. a _ it deliberately vague? i think it is deliberately vague. a form i it deliberately vague? i think it is deliberately vague. a form of i deliberately vague. a form of retaliation, it instills ongoing panic and it tries to show the strength of mind of russian, they can still respond to attacks such as the sinking of their ship. i think in practice the operation will continue as before and i don't, you know, i don't think that there will be, for example, any pre—eminent or eminent attacks against the baltic states, for example. but i think this is trying to keep the mental going, this is trying to redress the size that russia is weak, this is trying to present russia's strength, presenting themselves as being at the forefront of this campaign, even that they have clearly suffered major losses. and this has been a failure of the last six weeks. the authorities in south africa say the number of people known to have died in devastating floods in kwazulu—natal province has risen to 398, with 27 people still 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 underway today across kwazulu—natal following floods in the region. our team witnessed an attempt to recover two bodies, including that of an eight—year—old child. the bbc�*s vumani mkhize was there. this is an informal settlement in reservoir hills just north of durban. behind me, there is a recovery operation by a rescue team that is from outside of the province. i am told by the community that two people are missing, a youngster, around eight years old, and someone who is also over the age of 30. so, the rescue team has also got a dog that has been sniffing and i am told that the dog has been able to identify that there are remains down there. so, it is quite a sombre moment are a sombre situation right now. we've got 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 that has been strewn all over here 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 all the houses as well, you can see that this is quite a poor and impoverished area and not really well—built, and they could not actually sustain the torrent of the waters that came through here. i am also told that there are a number of other search and rescue operations also taking place all around this area and this community, and 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. 0ur correspondent pumza fihlani is in durban and a little earlier she gave me this update on the situation there. the government has allocated $68 million for emergency relief, we went to export... the men —— the man and girl had been missing. we sell community members looking on, waiting to see what was going to happen. it was an effort that took hours. they have just left now because duck has fallen and the area has exposed live electricity and they thought it wouldn't be safe to continue working. they do intend to come back tomorrow. just behind me, you can see a huge gash in the road, that wasn't here a few days ago, it is a small example of some of the devastation that has happened as a result of the floods. there is now only one access point to this community, that is not only slowing rescue efforts but also making life difficult for the people that live here, to get in and out, to get to a safe place and help. it's emerged that the uk government formally instructed civil servants to press ahead with an overhaul of the asylum system before they could estimate how 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 them on a one—way ticket. we know that some of the 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. simonjones reporting. let's get some of the day's other news. eight days out from a crucial run—off vote, president macron of france has offered supporters five years of national renewal if he's re—elected. at a campaign event in marseille, mr macron warned people of the dangers he said were posed by his far—right rival, marine le pen, saying the country risked turning inwards and becoming divided. the taliban in afghanistan have summoned pakistan's ambassador in kabul to protest at alleged cross—border military attacks by pakistani forces. a government official and local residents said more than 30 people, including women and children, had been killed in air strikes in khost and kunar provinces. islamabad denied it carried out the attacks. six people have been arrested in london after climate change activists, including two 0lympic medallists, blocked an oil tanker on a busy road. members of extinction rebellion climbed on top of a petrol vehicle near kensington gardens to protest about the use of fossil fuels. on friday, hundreds of activists blocked four major bridges in london. the duke and duchess of sussex have made a rare public appearance in europe 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. we have breaking news coming into us from the united states where police say that several people have been injured in a shooting in a shopping mall in south carolina. there has been a tweet from police in colombia and it says, and i amjust been a tweet from police in colombia and it says, and i am just reading this now, we have confirmed that people have been injured during the incident, they are receiving medical attention, the extent of the injuries is unknown at this time. it goes on to say that officers had been evacuating them all and getting people to safety. so, that news just in. we will of course bring you much more as soon as we get it. 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 ia 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 subpostmasters 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. time for a look at the weather now. let's go over to thomas chaffin a cut. across the bulk of the uk, it is going to be a clear evening and night and we are expecting cloud and rain, at least in the western isles ijy rain, at least in the western isles by earlier sunday morning. elsewhere, it is going to be clear with it a miss of mist and miranda and temperatures typically around six or 7 degrees. here is easter sunday, lots of sunshine across the bulk of the uk, but they could cloud and outbreaks of rain reaching these westernmost fringes of the british isles. much cooler in belfast, 13 degrees, but still around the high teens are up to 20 london. through the evening, you can see how that weather front approaches and the weather front approaches and the weather does go downhill across western areas. 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 4000 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 un's refugee agency. now on bbc news, unspun world. hello, and thanks for watching unspun world, where we go below the surface of global events with the bbc�*s experts. ukraine is in its new phase, with a big build—up of russian troops continuing in the east of the country under
